Stay Free - Russel Brand - Zelensky’s Misstep: Why It Backfired & What Comes Next – SF547

00:00:00.000 Thank you.

00:07:29.000 Hello there, you awakening wonders.

00:07:32.000 Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brad, where once again we undertake the impossible and implausible task of trying to report to you on global events when they move at this pace.

00:07:46.000 Since we were last on, On Wednesday, Thursday's show was pre-taped.

00:07:53.000 This is what's happened.

00:07:54.000 Trump says Ukraine can forget about joining NATO. Zelensky leaves White House after stunning shouting match with Trump.

00:08:01.000 Israel blocks entry of all humanitarian aid into Gaza.

00:08:04.000 European leaders voice support for Zelensky following heated exchange with Trump.

00:08:08.000 Starmer pledges British boots on the ground to secure peace in Ukraine.

00:08:13.000 Rubio signs declaration to expedite delivery of $4 billion in military aid to Israel.

00:08:18.000 I mean, look down there in the corner, barely worthy of mention.

00:08:24.000 US releases $870 million in military aid for Taiwan.

00:08:29.000 It's actually difficult.

00:08:31.000 The King of England meets with Zelensky after that extraordinary and exciting White House meeting.

00:08:37.000 I actually...

00:08:40.000 How do you lot feel?

00:08:41.000 Do you feel like it's now an impossible task and endeavour to try to keep up with current events?

00:08:47.000 Like we're literally undertaking something that's simultaneously Sisyphean, pushing a boulder up a hill, knowing it's going to roll down again, and Promethean, like just having your guts picked out for all eternity, were it not for the sacrifice of the Holy One, then that would be the answer because what supersedes Pagan beliefs is the idea that by his blood we may be saved. 0.57

00:09:13.000 Don't you sometimes sense in the Gideon cycle of the news that material things, political things, aren't going to bring about resolution?

00:09:20.000 That in your own life, perhaps what you're offering yourself as a salve is not salvation, but just continually anaesthetising yourself and distracting yourself from how overwhelming this is.

00:09:32.000 Let me know how you feel over on Locals, you beloved...

00:09:36.000 Glorious Awakened Wonders and supporters of our cause.

00:09:38.000 Let me know if you haven't got Rumble Premium yet.

00:09:41.000 If you're planning to get Rumble Premium where you'll get additional content from us.

00:09:45.000 I'm looking at the Rumble chat.

00:09:46.000 I'm looking at Social Blend and McCrum and you guys.

00:09:48.000 Yeah, what can King Chuck do?

00:09:50.000 I don't know really what Charles III can do other than normalise the idea of continuing aggression between Ukraine and Russia.

00:10:00.000 That was an extraordinary event.

00:10:02.000 The J.D. Vance, Trump, Zelensky moment.

00:10:06.000 One of my favourite memes was the me asking my nan if we can go to McDonald's.

00:10:12.000 Me asking my mum if we can go to McDonald's.

00:10:15.000 That meme was pretty good.

00:10:17.000 Whether you're watching us on X or on YouTube, ultimately our home is Rumble and we hope that you will join us there soon enough.

00:10:25.000 This just in, English is the preferred and indeed official Language of the United States and the handgun, the official firearm.

00:10:35.000 Did you, I mean, on one hand you think that's so obvious as to not need stating, but how do you see that kind of executive order?

00:10:42.000 Do you see that as part of the nationalism of the Trump MAGA movement?

00:10:47.000 English is our language, there's two genders. 0.66

00:10:50.000 It's in a sense an assertion.

00:10:52.000 Of conservative values.

00:10:54.000 And whether you agree with those values or not, one thing that I'd like to continue to reiterate is you cannot question that Trump campaigned on what he is now doing.

00:11:03.000 Except perhaps on subjects like the Epstein list.

00:11:06.000 When are we getting our Epstein list?

00:11:09.000 Epstein list!

00:11:10.000 Epstein list!

00:11:11.000 And let me know in the comments and chat why you think we're not getting the Epstein list.

00:11:14.000 We'll be looking at that as well as Andrew Tate's arrival in Florida.

00:11:19.000 We'll be looking too.

00:11:21.000 The ongoing separation between Europe's position on the Ukraine-Russia conflict and America's position on the Ukraine-Russia conflict, not to mention the trade war with Canada.

00:11:33.000 Hey, the mainstream media may be slow, but it gets there eventually.

00:11:37.000 Jake Tapper acknowledges in his book Original Sin.

00:11:41.000 That's such a grandiose title. 0.99

00:11:44.000 Joe Biden was mentally ill. 1.00

00:11:46.000 Look at this. 1.00

00:11:47.000 Look at that sort of subtitle.

00:11:48.000 President Biden's decline is cover-up and his disastrous choice to run again.

00:11:53.000 Isn't that extraordinary?

00:11:54.000 Because, like, who was it that led us to believe that...

00:11:58.000 Joe Biden was cognitively adept.

00:12:01.000 Do you not remember, for example, Joe Scarborough of Morning Joe going, I think he's sharper than he's ever been. 1.00

00:12:06.000 I actually, this morning, I was examining Joe Biden's penis and it was as taut and as velvety, as purple and as proud as a 20-year-old boy's penis. 0.99

00:12:17.000 People were making outrageous claims about the virility of Joe Biden when common sense was telling you that he was falling apart. 1.00

00:12:25.000 People were making outrageous claims.

00:12:28.000 About the efficacy of ventilators when common sense was telling you that ventilating patients with respiratory conditions could lead to overexpansion of their lungs.

00:12:37.000 People were claiming that the vaccines were safe when common sense would tell you they hadn't had time to trial them correctly.

00:12:43.000 People were telling you that Russia had to be...

00:12:46.000 Beat down and defeated when common sense was telling you that Russia is a nuclear superpower and if you continue to provoke them, whatever your moral position is, it's likely a lead to more and more deaths of Ukrainians and Russians and potentially now, with Britain's new posturing, British folk, people all around the world. 0.79

00:13:05.000 What I'm telling you is that your common sense...

00:13:08.000 And for common sense to exist, there have to be universal truths.

00:13:12.000 And for there to be universal truths, there has to be an absolute truth.

00:13:15.000 And for there to be an absolute truth, does there have to be an absolute creator?

00:13:18.000 I'd say yes.

00:13:19.000 Maybe you'd say no.

00:13:20.000 Let me know in the comments and chat what you think about that.

00:13:22.000 But certainly what we can all agree on is we're moving into an era where we can no longer trust the legacy media.

00:13:30.000 Presumably that would include Jake Tapper.

00:13:32.000 I know people like David Icke would say that even independent media...

00:13:36.000 ...is now sort of going out to bat for Trump so enthusiastically that they amount to now a cheerleading squad for the MAGA movement.

00:13:45.000 But I would say that our function here is ongoing, objective for an independent assessment as best as we can achieve with our own biases.

00:13:55.000 And one way to do that, I would say, is...

00:13:57.000 Acknowledging those biases and recognising that if we're going to have a position on anything at all, then we have to believe in something.

00:14:04.000 We can't one minute claim that Joe Biden is as sharp as a tack and the next minute write a book about Joe Biden's cognitive decline and how we shouldn't have stood for a second time, Jake Tapper.

00:14:13.000 That's absolutely outrageous.

00:14:15.000 We've got so much more to cover.

00:14:16.000 Here is Jake Tapper, by the way, during Biden's presidency.

00:14:22.000 Criticizing Lara Trump for daring to claim that Biden was anything other than a sort of a living sudoku of mental accruity.

00:14:32.000 How do you think it makes little kids with stutters feel when they see you make a comment like that?

00:14:38.000 First and foremost...

00:14:40.000 The main news again, little kids with stutters.

00:14:43.000 You see that there's a weird tangential avenues that the legacy media will go down in order to justify its moral posturing.

00:14:51.000 Of course, a little kid with a stutter is a sad thing and they should have vocal coaches and speak less speech lessons.

00:14:58.000 But you can't use little kids with stutters to legitimize censorship, which is where he's going with this.

00:15:04.000 I had no idea that Joe Biden ever suffered from a stutter.

00:15:09.000 I think what we see on stage with Joe Biden, Jake, is very clearly a cognitive decline.

00:15:14.000 That's what I'm referring to.

00:15:16.000 It makes me uncomfortable.

00:15:18.000 Okay, that's it.

00:15:19.000 You've gone too far.

00:15:20.000 You've suggested cognitive decline.

00:15:21.000 Let's have a look at his book again.

00:15:23.000 What's his book called?

00:15:24.000 Let me just see that.

00:15:25.000 Look, original sin, President Joe Biden's decline, its cover-up, and his disastrous choice to run again.

00:15:30.000 Now, you might think that's a while ago, but the same legacy media outlets are right now pushing the same biased and warped perspective on reality that they were pushing then.

00:15:41.000 In a way, you can look back at the pandemic.

00:15:44.000 And I reckon a good tool for discernment will be, what were these people, stroke platforms, telling us during the pandemic?

00:15:53.000 Joe Rogan, what was he saying during the pandemic?

00:15:55.000 Piers Morgan, what was he saying during the pandemic?

00:15:57.000 Me, CNN, MSNBC, Fox, you could choose anyone, and you can use it as a kind of litmus test of their reliability.

00:16:04.000 What were they saying during the pandemic?

00:16:06.000 What are they saying now during this war?

00:16:08.000 We'll be covering that war, both from an American perspective and a European perspective, in a few minutes.

00:16:14.000 I can't believe how fast things are moving.

00:16:16.000 It's absolutely astonishing.

00:16:18.000 Maybe we'll be covering later the possibility that the US may leave...

00:16:25.000 NATO. Now, NATO without the United States of America is a sort of hollow and empty vessel, and many people would argue that that's what it is anyway, other than its capacity to provoke Putin and presumably facilitate military-industrial complex agenda and objectives.

00:16:44.000 We're going to cover now, you lot, the Canada trade war, because astonishing though it is, the Zelensky-JD Vance-Trump White House meeting of last week is...

00:16:55.000 Already sort of fading into history.

00:16:57.000 I don't know how you and I are meant to keep up with the rate of change.

00:17:00.000 In fact, it's impossible to without recourse to eternity.

00:17:03.000 You have to have a set of values that are tethered to and expressions of something outside of time.

00:17:10.000 That contains time.

00:17:12.000 If you're living in temporality, taking your moral positions, your satisfaction and even your disappointments from this rapid and tumultuous culture, no wonder you feel despairing and afraid because the world moves fast.

00:17:26.000 We're going to be with you if you're on X or if you're on YouTube for a little while longer, but ultimately we'll be exclusively on our home Rumble and eventually on Rumble Prime.

00:17:37.000 This is where I do my show Break Bread.

00:17:40.000 Here's my conversation with Sean Foyt, outspoken conservative pastor.

00:17:45.000 He's the participant in this week's Break Bread with Russell Brand, which you get if you become a subscriber of Rumble Premium.

00:17:53.000 Here's Sean Foyt making this claim, and let me know if you agree with him that the United States of America is a Christian nation.

00:17:59.000 Trump has just told us that...

00:18:01.000 English is the official language of the United States.

00:18:04.000 Is Christianity the official religion of the United States?

00:18:08.000 Let me know what you think about that in the comments and chat.

00:18:11.000 Or does secularism forebode such a claim?

00:18:14.000 Let's have a look at Sean Foyt on Break Bread.

00:18:17.000 You get this if you subscribe to Rumble Premium.

00:18:19.000 You can do that now.

00:18:19.000 Use our code to get a discount.

00:18:21.000 I feel like it's time for us to just start repeating what many of the founding fathers have said.

00:18:27.000 America is a Christian nation.

00:18:30.000 Fact.

00:18:31.000 It doesn't mean that you can't be of another faith and live here.

00:18:36.000 It doesn't mean that you can't be a Muslim or a Hindu or Buddhist or agnostic or whatever.

00:18:40.000 But this nation is a Christian nation.

00:18:43.000 And there are Muslim nations and there are Hindu nations.

00:18:47.000 And there are Buddhist nations.

00:18:48.000 And when you come to America, we're a Christian nation.

00:18:51.000 And I don't know why that's such a difficult thing for people to realize.

00:18:57.000 Okay, so...

00:18:59.000 Trump has announced a 25% tariff on both Canada and Mexico.

00:19:06.000 Now, let's cast our minds way back just, you know, a couple of months, basically, to the height of the pandemic.

00:19:14.000 How did Canada behave during that pandemic?

00:19:16.000 Were they the most liberal nation on earth?

00:19:18.000 Or did they evoke emergency measures?

00:19:21.000 Did they freeze bank accounts of dissenters?

00:19:24.000 And did I dream it?

00:19:25.000 Or did they invite a literal Nazi into the Canadian Parliament to be applauded?

00:19:32.000 Let me know in the comments in chat what you think about that.

00:19:34.000 And let me know what the new discourse between Canada and America tells us about the stability of the planet.

00:19:41.000 With Canadian politicians saying, we're going to get nuclear armed.

00:19:44.000 That's the extraordinarily named Chrystia Freeland, who I believe has at least one Nazi grandparent claiming that Canada needs to be forearmed in order to be forewarned against... 1.00

00:19:57.000 What kind of world are we living in now?

00:20:00.000 And in the event of a nuclear war, whose side do you want to be on?

00:20:04.000 First of all, let's have a look at Trump's announcement that there will be a 25% tariff on trade between Canada and Mexico and the United States before looking at, excuse me, this new Canadian nationalism.

00:20:18.000 And their claim that they're going to arm themselves with a nuclear capacity.

00:20:24.000 Pretty astonishing.

00:20:25.000 But very importantly, tomorrow tariffs 25% on Canada and 25% on Mexico, and that'll start.

00:20:32.000 So they're going to have to have a tariff.

00:20:34.000 So what they have to do is build their car plants, frankly, and other things in the United States, in which case they have no tariffs.

00:20:41.000 In other words, you build, and this is exactly what Mr. Wei is doing, by building here, otherwise they'll build, if they did them in Taiwan to send them here, they'll have 25 percent or 30 percent or 50 percent or whatever the number may be someday.

00:20:55.000 It'll go only up.

00:20:57.000 But by doing it here, he has no tariffs, so he's way ahead of the game.

00:21:01.000 And I would just say this to...

00:21:03.000 Yeah, well, if you tariff us, we will cut off your electricity.

00:21:09.000 That's what Ontario Premier Doug Ford has said in response to Trump's tariffs.

00:21:15.000 Let's have a look at that.

00:21:16.000 If they want to try to annihilate Ontario... 0.98

00:21:19.000 I will do everything, including cut off their energy with a smile on my face.

00:21:24.000 And I'm encouraging every other province to do this.

00:21:28.000 It's not just Trump and J.D. Vance that engage in rhetoric and outspoken posturing.

00:21:35.000 You can see that other political figures that make claims of rationalism and reason and that are part of the same establishment that decry Trump as a kind of bizarre and berserk outlier, they posture too.

00:21:50.000 Remember Joe Biden saying that we were...

00:21:54.000 Do you remember when we were talking about the Nord Stream pipeline, Joe Biden...

00:21:57.000 Yeah, listen, they won't cross us. 0.51

00:22:00.000 In a sense, I would say this.

00:22:03.000 The more...

00:22:04.000 Mean, mealy-mouthed and mediocre political figures also engage in grandstanding, but it's just less impressive when they do it. 0.93

00:22:14.000 He continues, Doug Ford, to claim that not only will they cut off America's energy, but that also they're not ruling out fighting to the death before sort of backtracking somewhat ridiculously.

00:22:25.000 The same, Quebec, Manitoba, BC, we all have to act in unison out east.

00:22:31.000 They rely on our energy.

00:22:32.000 They need to feel the pain.

00:22:34.000 They want to come at us hard?

00:22:36.000 We're going to come back twice as hard.

00:22:37.000 In a way, global politics now resembles wrestling.

00:22:42.000 Weird discourse, extraordinary caricatures, public spats.

00:22:46.000 How long before Zelensky gets hit over the head with a folding chair?

00:22:51.000 How long before these bizarre Vince McMahon-style narratives become impossible to track?

00:22:57.000 I don't know how you feel about...

00:22:58.000 Occupying this untenable and bewildering blizzard of unmanageable reality.

00:23:04.000 I feel that in order to even chart a way through it, you have to have some sense of a deeper, ulterior meaning.

00:23:12.000 You have to have some sort of sense of a framing beyond time because this kind of ongoing bewilderment is...

00:23:19.000 It's not what you were made for.

00:23:21.000 It's not what you were created for.

00:23:24.000 Here, Doug Ford, who just says he's going to cut off American energy supply with a smile on his face, engaging in exactly the kind of discourse that's condemned in liberal media.

00:23:34.000 That's what they say.

00:23:34.000 You can't have someone like Trump grandstanding like that.

00:23:39.000 But you see...

00:23:41.000 Less, more mediocre and less pronounced political figures try to do the same thing, just less well.

00:23:48.000 So even the position from which they condemn Trump is unstable because they would do all of it and any of it themselves.

00:23:55.000 They're just less good at it.

00:23:57.000 You know, to the president, I'm a different type of cat.

00:23:59.000 I'll fight tooth and nail.

00:24:01.000 I'm not going to roll over and get annihilated.

00:24:04.000 I'll fight right to the death.

00:24:06.000 Not that there's going to be any deaths.

00:24:08.000 When I say fight to the death, I don't mean death.

00:24:10.000 I mean a kind of abstract kind of death.

00:24:14.000 A kind of, as it were, a kind of ennui.

00:24:16.000 I'll fight till people are disappointed.

00:24:19.000 But, you know, the economy.

00:24:21.000 I will go out.

00:24:22.000 He has no idea.

00:24:23.000 He has absolutely no idea.

00:24:27.000 It seems slightly absurd to you as sort of a local Ontario politician claiming that they will fight.

00:24:35.000 To the death with the President of the United States.

00:24:38.000 Are you struggling now to believe in their reality?

00:24:43.000 Here, Chrystia Freeland makes claims for moral superiority. 1.00

00:24:47.000 The same claims that she and Trudeau made during the pandemic.

00:24:52.000 That the measures and acts that they were undertaken were underwritten by the pursuit of...

00:25:00.000 What do I want to say?

00:25:00.000 The preservation of life, the protection of Canadians, that the truckers were Nazis, that we had to freeze those bank accounts.

00:25:07.000 It just doesn't hold together anymore.

00:25:10.000 Here, Chrystia Freeland says that Canada are going to develop a nuclear deterrent.

00:25:16.000 Now, Chrystia Freeland is exactly the kind of WEF-trained globalist politician that I, and I reckon you too, believe are a greater threat than populist nationalist politicians and are the reason that nationalist politicians are enjoying success because they are connected to their population.

00:25:33.000 They're connected to the kind of feeling and sentiment of the times.

00:25:37.000 People wanting to feel that they live in a country, that there are traditions and values that make sense amidst the bewilderment of globalism that seems to exist only to facilitate centralising global interests.

00:25:50.000 Here, Chrystia Freeland, again, a person coming from an apparent position of moral superiority, saying that Canada are going to develop a nuclear deterrent.

00:25:57.000 It's really odd.

00:25:58.000 The US is turning predator.

00:26:00.000 And so what Canada needs to do is work closely with our democratic allies, our military allies.

00:26:07.000 I've been foreign minister.

00:26:09.000 I know how to do that.

00:26:10.000 That's why I would start with our Nordic partners, specifically Denmark, which is also big.

00:26:15.000 She's saying this because she's running to be Prime Minister to replace Justin Trudeau, who's been castrated for some time now.

00:26:22.000 In fact, in some ways, it's a kind of living metaphor for castration.

00:26:26.000 And the fact that these kind of globalist leaders have no real power.

00:26:29.000 They have only the power their role affords them.

00:26:32.000 And that is to be ciphers for a globalist agenda.

00:26:36.000 Chrystia Freeland, again, posturing, we're going to make Canada a nuclear power.

00:26:40.000 We're going to team up with Denmark.

00:26:42.000 Now, no disrespect to Denmark, but the Viking days are over, baby. 0.97

00:26:45.000 So being threatened and our European NATO allies, I would be sure that France and Britain were there who possess nuclear weapons, and I would be working urgently with those partners to build a closer security relationship that guarantees our security in a time when the United and I would be working urgently with those partners to build a closer security relationship We're over, baby.

00:27:06.000 OK, so new alliances will be forged in order to oppose the United States of America.

00:27:11.000 But the basis for that opposition is dubious because some of us have got memories and can recall that Chrystia Freeland and Justin Trudeau during the pandemic froze the bank accounts and rights of ordinary Canadians.

00:27:24.000 Let me know if you remember those trucker protests and how those truckers were treated, condemned and damned.

00:27:31.000 It's extraordinary to hear that citizens of a country can be called Nazis, seemingly indiscriminately, while we are...

00:27:40.000 Ourselves invited to spend our own tax dollars and pounds and whatever is the relevant currency supporting the Ukraine's efforts against Russia which includes the not insignificant Azov battalion that are literal Nazis and Chrystia Freeland's grandfather who's an actual Nazi and that dude that turned up in the Canadian Parliament that was an actual Nazi.

00:27:59.000 Now we don't need to get overwhelmed by Nazism but we do need to acknowledge the extraordinary hypocrisy at the heart of their movement and their ongoing inability and unwillingness To take that simple mea culpa and say, we made mistakes during the pandemic.

00:28:14.000 We might be making mistakes right now.

00:28:16.000 It's no wonder we've lost the support of the electorate.

00:28:19.000 It's no wonder that no one believes in what we're selling or wants to purchase what's on offer from us anymore because we've behaved appallingly in the last few years.

00:28:27.000 If we claimed to be wearing the mantle of the great leaders of the 60s, the civil rights martyrs like Martin Luther King, like Malcolm X, like the...

00:28:38.000 Female suffrage movement is a claim that seems increasingly ridiculous when you know that the beneficiaries of our political movement are always global bureaucracies that are unelected and profiteering global corporations. 0.99

00:28:52.000 And that's why the Ukraine-Russia conflict has become so significant.

00:28:56.000 As the lens that enables us to continue to see, as the pandemic did, that there is a force behind apparent humanitarianism, behind apparent wokeism, that is pretty...

00:29:08.000 Dark, actually.

00:29:09.000 Chrystia Freeland, her name is sarcastic. 0.97

00:29:12.000 Her attempt to become leader of Canada...

00:29:14.000 Probably will succeed, actually. 0.98

00:29:16.000 But the idea that liberalism and these kind of globalist politicians have high ground, a moral high ground, or moral authority over nationalist leaders, notably Trump, is outrageous and ridiculous. 0.94

00:29:29.000 And we're seeing that unfold now in real time. 0.92

00:29:31.000 But that's just what I think.

00:29:32.000 Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.

00:29:43.000 Additional content from us, other great Rumble creators, the ones that aren't being asked to form government now, extraordinarily, as well as shows like Break Bread.

00:29:52.000 We've got a quick message now from one of our partners.

00:29:54.000 We're going to be back in a minute talking about Tate in Florida, talking about Keir Starmer saying boots on the ground and planes in the air.

00:30:01.000 We're going to be talking about Elon Musk's appearance on Joe Rogan and so much more.

00:30:05.000 So stay with us and eventually join us on Rumble.

00:30:07.000 But here's a quick message.

00:30:08.000 Are you a yo-yo dieter?

00:30:09.000 You lose weight, you gain the weight back again, you hate yourself, you be sick, you're standing in front of the mirror, you're crying, you're screaming the name to the Lord into a broken mirror.

00:30:17.000 That's got to stop.

00:30:18.000 It's time for you to try lean instead of that weird serial killer thing you were doing just before.

00:30:22.000 It's dangerous to be a yo-yo dieter.

00:30:25.000 Studies show that you can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, type 2 diabetes and other health problems.

00:30:31.000 Breaking free of your yo-yo diet pattern is the main reason doctors created Lean.

00:30:36.000 Lean is a supplement, not an injection, and you don't need a prescription.

00:30:40.000 It's not like that crazy thing, a Zempic, or whatever it's called. 0.58

00:30:43.000 The science behind lean is impressive.

00:30:44.000 It's studied natural ingredients target weight loss in three powerful ways.

00:30:48.000 Powerful way one helps maintain healthy blood sugar.

00:30:51.000 Powerful way two helps control appetite and cravings.

00:30:55.000 Powerful way three, it helps burn fat by converting it into energy.

00:30:59.000 That's three.

00:30:59.000 Powerful ways.

00:31:00.000 Listen, if you're tired of losing weight, then just gaining that weight back again.

00:31:04.000 If you want to lose meaningful weight at a healthy pace, Lean was created for you.

00:31:09.000 Let me get you started by offering you 20% off when you offer Brand20 at TakeLean.com.

00:31:15.000 That's code Brand20 at TakeLean.com.

00:31:19.000 Thank you.

00:31:20.000 Yeah, get it.

00:31:21.000 Why don't you?

00:31:22.000 Like, where are the Epstein files?

00:31:25.000 Who's on that Epstein list?

00:31:27.000 Why is it not arriving?

00:31:29.000 We'll be talking about that a little later, but first we're going to talk about the extraordinary week in war that we've just gone through.

00:31:36.000 You saw that list of headlines.

00:31:38.000 This is just since the last show.

00:31:41.000 Globally, extraordinary activity, whether it's China and Taiwan.

00:31:46.000 Israel or, of course, Ukraine and Russia.

00:31:49.000 It's been a time of extraordinary developments. 0.98

00:31:51.000 But where we are now is Trump has paused all military aid to Ukraine after that extraordinary theatrical, and let's face it, Fucking brilliant meeting at the White House. 0.90

00:32:03.000 I mean, it was good, wasn't it?

00:32:04.000 I mean, at least politics now is entertaining since it's all turned into a sort of bizarre global wrestling foundation.

00:32:10.000 But what does this mean for the people of Ukraine?

00:32:12.000 What does it mean for your tax dollars?

00:32:14.000 What does it mean for British kids that might be asked to fight in a war against Russia right now?

00:32:19.000 As if it's like 19, well not 1914, we were on the same side as Russia then, or by 1917. In any event, we are back in a time of global conflict that's very difficult to trace track and keep up with.

00:32:30.000 Let's do our best to understand what's happening just the last week when it comes to Ukraine and US. And is there a way back for Zelensky?

00:32:38.000 Let me know in the comments and chat.

00:32:40.000 Should Zelensky just go, I overreacted in that White House meeting.

00:32:43.000 Sorry about that, guys.

00:32:44.000 Or should Zelensky stick to his guns?

00:32:47.000 And is he going to have guns anymore now that the United States are officially not providing him with any?

00:32:53.000 Let's have a look.

00:32:53.000 Reporting the United States is pausing all U.S. military aid to Ukraine until President Trump determines the Ukrainians show a commitment of good faith peace negotiations.

00:33:03.000 That's according to a senior Trump administration telling Fox, this is not a permanent termination of aid.

00:33:09.000 It is a pause.

00:33:10.000 The orders are going out right now.

00:33:12.000 The official said this in response to Ukrainian President Zelensky's conduct over the last week and his words over the weekend.

00:33:20.000 So it's all stopping, Brian.

00:33:22.000 Yeah, well, he needs an apology.

00:33:25.000 President Trump says, I need a direct apology.

00:33:27.000 This could be fixed with a phone call.

00:33:29.000 Sorry if things went off the rails.

00:33:31.000 Like the first 45 minutes of our talk.

00:33:33.000 Didn't Zelensky do that?

00:33:34.000 Let me know in the comments and chat if you think that Zelensky should say, sorry about that.

00:33:37.000 I overreacted.

00:33:38.000 Because what this is like, in a way, is when a movie franchise makes...

00:33:42.000 A first movie, like, I don't know, one of them new Star Wars, and then a new director takes over for the sequel, who has a different vision for the franchise.

00:33:51.000 Remember when Luke Skywalker threw that lightsaber away?

00:33:55.000 He would never do that!

00:33:56.000 It was his phallus!

00:33:58.000 It was his weapon!

00:33:59.000 It was his crucifix!

00:34:00.000 It was his connection to divine power!

00:34:02.000 The last administration...

00:34:04.000 For the last administration, it was convenient for Zelensky to be seen as a patriotic hero representing the interests of the Ukrainian people and standing up in a David versus Goliath way against the oppressor and aggressor Putin.

00:34:19.000 That role has been suspended.

00:34:21.000 Zelensky now is required to be contrite and to be open to reconciliation and peace with Putin, which...

00:34:30.000 Ultimately, it has to happen if you don't want to see more Ukrainians die, more Russians die, British people, American people, depending on what configuration of perpetuating war we are being invited to participate in. 0.80

00:34:42.000 What I reckon can operate as a kind of anchor is remembering aphorisms and phrases that just make common sense, and are actually quite recent.

00:34:50.000 I ain't talking scripture here.

00:34:51.000 When Julian Assange said of Afghanistan, the goal was not to end the war, but to perpetuate it, and that the function of government is to take your money and to put it in that...

00:35:01.000 That makes sense.

00:35:03.000 Like when Elon Musk posts the Ukraine war as basically a money laundering operation, doesn't that make sense to you?

00:35:09.000 I'm not making that claim from the perspective or...

00:35:12.000 To the ends and impact on Ukrainian people, for whom it's obviously a humanitarian disaster and total nightmare.

00:35:17.000 I'm saying that ultimately, when it comes to NATO and BlackRock and the World Bank and that nexus of global interests that are somehow able to traverse and hold and frame this globe while being accountable to none of us, it's a money...

00:35:33.000 Laundering operation.

00:35:35.000 Later, we'll be talking about Musk's appearance on Joe Rogan and his description and definition of Soros' genius, that George Soros is a kind of representative of that.

00:35:46.000 Global class of individuals like Bill Gates who are able to sort of navigate these spaces expertly and brilliantly.

00:35:53.000 What Trump is, is antithetical to that kind of power.

00:35:57.000 I do think he's in some ways an atavistic throwback, but also he's the very vanguard of contemporary politics, able to have discourse in a way that sort of seems sort of familiar and folky and kind of like the necessary catharsis after all these years of... 0.82

00:36:12.000 Bullshit and jargon and behind closed doors manoeuvring when we all sense, this is about energy, this is about minerals, the Iraq war was about oil, Afghanistan was botched, Vietnam was a lie. 0.61

00:36:24.000 Now, these things are happening publicly. 0.99

00:36:26.000 And whilst I would say, yeah, where's the Epstein bloody lists?

00:36:30.000 In the main...

00:36:32.000 Trump is governing in the way he campaigned, and that these days is a pretty high bar, certainly a threshold the Democrat Party couldn't reach to.

00:36:42.000 Okay, let's have a look at Trump's reaction to Zelensky claiming that the end of the war is far away, which kind of understandably irritates him, because Zelensky, by any reckoning, is a kind of puppet.

00:36:55.000 He's a Ukrainian celebrity that rose to political prominence.

00:36:59.000 That don't mean that he don't have no authority.

00:37:01.000 It just means that in all likelihood, Zelensky has to choose between being an expression of the power of true Russian authority or being an expression of the power of NATO authority.

00:37:13.000 Ukraine, like Britain, actually, are ultimately a subsidiary nation.

00:37:18.000 Whilst English may be the official language of the United States of America, the language belongs to the Americans now.

00:37:25.000 The days of the British Empire are over.

00:37:29.000 It's colonialism has passed.

00:37:31.000 American empire is on some sort of precipitous point.

00:37:36.000 We all know that.

00:37:37.000 But what's just happened as a result of the last election?

00:37:40.000 His sovereignty has been snatched back from globalists.

00:37:45.000 Zelensky is a character from a franchise that's lost its director.

00:37:49.000 He's the Jar Jar Binks of global politics.

00:37:52.000 President Zelensky supposedly made a statement today in AP. I'm not a big fan of AP, so maybe it was an incorrect statement, but he said he thinks the war's gonna go on for a long time.

00:38:04.000 And he better not be right about that.

00:38:06.000 That's all I'm saying.

00:38:08.000 All my liberal friends saw that Zelensky, Trump and J.D. Vance spat of evidence of Trump's megalomania.

00:38:15.000 But I see it as a kind of advance in political discourse.

00:38:20.000 That now these things are happening, as I said, in a kind of WWF way.

00:38:24.000 Like, it's bizarrely expressionistic and somehow oddly archetypal.

00:38:30.000 Unlike the insidious and deceptive political discourse of the preceding years, you knew during the pandemic you were being lied to.

00:38:38.000 You knew that vaccine was probably doing more harm than good, that the measures were made up on the spot.

00:38:45.000 Wear a mask six feet apart.

00:38:46.000 And then you noticed as we escalated or almost transitioned from the pandemic into the Ukraine-Russia conflict that the same tropes were at play.

00:38:56.000 Remember that meme of Indiana Jones replacing the magical philosopher's stone artifact with a bag of sand when we were invited to start thinking about Ukraine and Russia as the new humanitarian cause that we all had to invest in.

00:39:10.000 What's happened is that bubble has popped now, but...

00:39:13.000 Figures like Chrystia Freeland, Keir Starmer, and Kamala Harris, who looks like a specter when you see a haunt in California much too late after the smouldering flames that she still claims to be able to smell.

00:39:26.000 They're trying to keep alive this course that's dead now.

00:39:30.000 And most Americans believe that Trump will do a better job of bringing about peace than Biden or Kamala Harris or whatever stooge they stick out there ever would have done.

00:39:41.000 Let me know in the comments and chat.

00:39:43.000 If you agree with that, and let me know, what is the aim here?

00:39:47.000 Can you ever zoom back and get a 50 mile higher perspective on this and think, well...

00:39:51.000 What's best for Ukrainian people, Russian people, and for the world at large?

00:39:55.000 It's obviously for some sort of ceasefire and some sort of peace deal, isn't it?

00:39:59.000 I mean, who's going to argue with that?

00:40:01.000 I'll tell you who.

00:40:02.000 You! 0.99

00:40:02.000 You're going to argue with it if you're British, because you might get conscripted. 0.99

00:40:06.000 We'll be covering that in a minute, but let's for a minute look at Trump's unique, admittedly brash, some might say vulgar, handling of this situation that may yet lead to peace.

00:40:16.000 I think the easiest way we can kind of just ask this is, do Americans like the way that Trump's handling his job compared to how they felt about Joe Biden?

00:40:23.000 So this is the net approval rating.

00:40:24.000 You look at Joe Biden back in 2024.

00:40:26.000 He was 22 points underwater.

00:40:29.000 Holy cow. 0.89

00:40:30.000 You look at Donald Trump.

00:40:31.000 It's just a different planet entirely.

00:40:33.000 I mean, the gulf between these two is wider than the Gulf of America or Mexico, depending on which side of the aisle you stand on.

00:40:39.000 He's at plus two.

00:40:40.000 So look at this particular point.

00:40:42.000 Americans are giving Donald Trump the benefit of the doubt.

00:40:44.000 He's doing considerably better than Joe Biden was doing on the handling of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

00:40:50.000 And so on this simple question, I think Americans are saying...

00:40:53.000 Okay, Donald Trump's doing all right on this.

00:40:55.000 What about specifically on how they feel about bringing the war to an end?

00:41:00.000 Yeah, okay.

00:41:01.000 So, you know, look, questions on this can be quite complicated, but I think this kind of gets at sort of where the American trend line is.

00:41:07.000 Americans on the Russia-Ukraine war want a quicker end of the war, but Russia keeps its captured land.

00:41:12.000 Look at this.

00:41:12.000 50 percent.

00:41:13.000 50 percent.

00:41:14.000 Bare majority.

00:41:15.000 Bare majority coming in here.

00:41:17.000 Support Ukraine's right to fight, even if it means a longer war. 0.82

00:41:21.000 That's a 48. One person who definitely benefits from a perpetuated war is Zelensky, who probably senses that when the war ends, his authority and power ends with it. 0.72

00:41:35.000 You need no more stark and obvious image than Zelensky standing alongside King Charles III of the United Kingdom to understand that what we're talking about is a shift in sovereignty.

00:41:47.000 Old school power versus new populist power. 0.99

00:41:51.000 It's pretty clear that Zelensky remains affiliated with the type of powers that had authority prior to Trump's landslide victory.

00:42:03.000 It seems that Zelensky, in spite of all the evidence to the contrary, if you were to consider it simply from the perspective of preserving Ukrainian territory and Ukrainian lives, Benefits from this war continuing.

00:42:17.000 Certainly, he's a participant when it comes to any negotiations for a peace deal.

00:42:22.000 What is his position, and is he, as Trump said, Tangoing his way into perpetuating this conflict.

00:42:28.000 Russia says that your administration's foreign policy is, quote, largely in line with their vision.

00:42:33.000 Well, I'll tell you what, I think it takes two to tango.

00:42:37.000 And you're going to have to make a deal with Russia, and you're going to have to make a deal with Ukraine. 0.66

00:42:40.000 You're going to have to have the assent, and you're going to have to have the consent from the European nations, because I think that's important, and from us.

00:42:49.000 I think everybody has to get into a room, so to speak, and we have to make a deal.

00:42:54.000 And the deal can be made very fast.

00:42:55.000 It should not be that hard a deal to make.

00:42:57.000 It could be made very fast.

00:42:59.000 Now, maybe somebody doesn't want to make a deal.

00:43:01.000 And if somebody doesn't want to make a deal, I think that person won't be around very long.

00:43:05.000 That person will not be listened to very long because I believe that Russia wants to make a deal.

00:43:11.000 I believe certainly the people of Ukraine want to make a deal.

00:43:15.000 They've suffered more than anybody else.

00:43:17.000 We talk about suffering.

00:43:18.000 They've suffered.

00:43:19.000 Even if you hate Donald Trump.

00:43:21.000 You should see Trump's ascendancy as good.

00:43:26.000 For electoral democracy.

00:43:28.000 Because what Trump is demonstrating is that mandate matters.

00:43:33.000 That if someone is elected and says, I'm going to end the Ukraine-Russia conflict, there's no reason why American taxpayers should fund this ongoing and unwinnable conflict when we suspect that much of the aid is finding its way into the wrong hands.

00:43:47.000 You could be a socialist.

00:43:49.000 You could be someone who believes in views that are antithetical and opposite to Trump's.

00:43:54.000 But you should be heartened by...

00:43:55.000 Let me know what you think about that potentially controversial view, because I would say that, in a sense, if you're a person who admires the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and believes actually in the possibility of democracy and a kind of adaptive systems of government, because that's what the United States was.

00:44:21.000 It adapted and grew out of the monarchies of Europe and became an expression of classical democracy that was unprecedented and unimagined until it was achieved by the forefathers of your great nation.

00:44:33.000 Now, you might disagree with the inflections of Trump, the tan and hue of Trump, But it's, I think, impressive to see somebody...

00:44:42.000 Govern in alignment with their campaigning.

00:44:45.000 I think it's impressive to see someone in a White House meeting just say, you're not in a position to tell us that.

00:44:51.000 Don't tell us how I feel.

00:44:52.000 Why have you not said thank you?

00:44:53.000 For a while, it's like the intelligentsia had capped...

00:45:01.000 That politics is meant to be something you don't understand.

00:45:03.000 Politics is not going to do with you if you're in Nebraska or North Yorkshire.

00:45:08.000 Politics is for us, for the elite, for the metropolis, for the cosmopolitans.

00:45:13.000 We'll tell you what to think and what to do, and they still want to tell you what to think and what to do through censorship.

00:45:19.000 Populism is the future.

00:45:21.000 Populism is unstoppable.

00:45:23.000 Now that we have access to these means of communication, the only way they can prevent more populist uprisings, likely initially nationalistic, but they could be Christian, Muslim.

00:45:36.000 In fact, it could be expressed in myriad ways, but what can't happen anymore is centralised globalist control.

00:45:43.000 Not when you've got controversial, publicly competent figures.

00:45:48.000 Like Trump, and there will be others.

00:45:50.000 There will be more.

00:45:51.000 There will be a British Trump.

00:45:53.000 There will be, I would say, every nation in the world potentially now could create its own populist movement off the back of this.

00:46:00.000 Globalism was an understandable response to the wars of the 20th century.

00:46:05.000 That was a good way of ensuring peace in Europe.

00:46:08.000 But globalism became captured and co-opted, and it became a force for hegemony and homogeneity.

00:46:15.000 All of us were losing our freedom.

00:46:17.000 We all saw and learned that during the pandemic.

00:46:20.000 I would say, even if you hate Trump, you have to acknowledge that he's a brilliant bulwark against globalism.

00:46:27.000 And that was the real threat that we faced.

00:46:29.000 But that's just why I think.

00:46:30.000 Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.

00:46:32.000 Tell me, should Zelensky just come out and apologise?

00:46:35.000 Say, look, I'm really sorry.

00:46:36.000 I'm sorry about that.

00:46:37.000 I overreacted.

00:46:38.000 I got carried away.

00:46:39.000 I thought that the power bestowed upon me by them globalist overlords was real.

00:46:43.000 I didn't realise it was transitory and with the machinations.

00:46:48.000 We could yet see the collapse of NATO, but also, terrifyingly, we could see the UK joining forces with the Ukraine in a global war against Russia when America are looking to broker a peace deal.

00:47:04.000 That sounds crazier than anything you're likely to hear on independent media, even with Tate appearing on PBD. We're going to be covering that as well as Musk on Rogan and so much.

00:47:19.000 The IRS is the largest collection agency in the world and with April 15th fast approaching, it's more aggressive than ever.

00:47:32.000 The longer you do, the worse it gets.

00:47:34.000 Ignoring your tax troubles is the worst thing you can do.

00:48:33.000 Act now before the IRS acts first.

00:48:37.000 Where's the Epstein lists?

00:48:39.000 Where are they?

00:48:41.000 Where?

00:48:42.000 Are they?

00:48:43.000 Let me know in the comments and chat if it's provoked some kind of doubt in you not to get these lists outright and straightforward.

00:48:51.000 Let me know if it causes you to doubt.

00:48:54.000 This new political moment.

00:48:55.000 Let me know if you're watching us on Locals, like my friend Beth in Wonderland there, or Thomas Beard, or Lily Farm Girl.

00:49:01.000 Let me know, Captain Psy on Rumble, and Stokon, and Roxanne.

00:49:04.000 Let me know what you guys think about this stuff.

00:49:06.000 Let me know, Zypher2000.

00:49:08.000 What we're going to cover right now is the Ukraine-Russia conflict from a European perspective.

00:49:16.000 You would think with Trump...

00:49:18.000 Publicly saying that a new peace deal is going to be brokered and that it's going to take a matter of days, that European powers or former powers will be looking to get in line and back that peace deal.

00:49:31.000 Surely a peace deal, whether it's Trump that comes up with it or Kamala Harris that comes up with it, is a good thing, right?

00:49:37.000 I mean, all John Lennon said is give peace a chance, not give peace a chance as long as it's framed as being from a liberal perspective.

00:49:45.000 No?

00:49:46.000 Surely we have to ultimately want war to end.

00:49:50.000 Well, in the UK, Keir Starmer is ultimately saying he wants war to escalate.

00:49:56.000 Increasing UK defence spending at a time when my country is in disarray and despair.

00:50:02.000 You talk to anyone there, they're disgusted with how the country is being run.

00:50:06.000 They're desperately looking for an alternative.

00:50:09.000 Praying that some new conglomerate of former left-wing populists like Jeremy Corbyn and right-wing vanguardiers and Brexiteers like Farage will find a way to come together and work together against the bureaucrat, plutocrat class that Keir Starmer represents.

00:50:28.000 What he's doing now is glorying in his post-Brexit ability to increase military expenditure.

00:50:35.000 Now let me know in the comments in chat what you think about that.

00:50:38.000 Trump talking about peace, while Starmer's talking about war.

00:50:41.000 Who are the good guys, really?

00:50:44.000 And what right do the liberal elites have to condemn Trump when they were oh so happy to march into wars based on lies in Iraq?

00:50:54.000 We'll be covering all of that. 0.98

00:50:56.000 that let's have a look first of all keir starmer saying that we have to really give war a chance the first priority of this government of any government is the security and safety of the british people to defend the national interest particularly in these volatile times that's i'd call that crap patriotism that's That's crap patriotism. 0.97

00:51:20.000 Stripped of its minerals, stripped of its stones, stripped of its... 0.97

00:51:23.000 All stripped of its meaning.

00:51:25.000 But still trying to lean into the same sentiment.

00:51:28.000 The first duty of any Prime Minister is to march people into an unwinnable war against a nuclear superpower.

00:51:37.000 Britain.

00:51:38.000 We believe in Britain where there are nine genders.

00:51:41.000 No, only two genders. 0.97

00:51:42.000 We believe in Britain where we will never tax you.

00:51:46.000 We're going to have to tax you.

00:51:47.000 We believe in Britain where these vaccines are good for you.

00:51:50.000 Oh no, these vaccines may not have been good of you. 0.56

00:51:53.000 What a lot of absolute nonsense.

00:51:55.000 What kind of support does Keir Starmer have after the Southport murders?

00:51:59.000 What kind of support does he have after the migrant crisis unfolding and creeping across the United Kingdom?

00:52:06.000 What kind of moral basis does he have to make these kind of craply, jingoistic productions?

00:52:12.000 Trying to lean into some sentiment about Britain.

00:52:15.000 If he met an actual British person, he'd condemn and hate them. 0.99

00:52:18.000 them because i'll tell you now and i'll tell you true they hate working class people it don't matter how many tools their parents made that's it he's that used to be a tool maker if you're american you won't know that or care that's why last week i announced the biggest sustained increase in defense spending since the cold war that's not good news That's not good news!

00:52:39.000 If you are a liberal, globalist leader who takes money from elite classes, that is not good news.

00:52:47.000 We're going to spend more money.

00:52:48.000 This is good.

00:52:49.000 What you've got... 1.00

00:52:50.000 Is a neutralised and castrated leader marching into war against Putin who goes about on horseback near naked and could probably kill you with the tip of his dick. 1.00

00:53:01.000 But I did do an AIDS test recently and all clear, all clear. 1.00

00:53:05.000 Since the Cold War.

00:53:07.000 That's also why I met President Trump last week.

00:53:11.000 Let him.

00:53:12.000 There I am.

00:53:12.000 I've got my folder.

00:53:13.000 He's got his folder.

00:53:14.000 We're just a couple of world leaders, really, bowling along.

00:53:17.000 Have you done your age test, Donald?

00:53:18.000 Do you want me to do one for you?

00:53:19.000 From last week to strengthen our relationship with Cameroon, an indispensable partner in defence and security.

00:53:29.000 And it's why this weekend I've been hosting European leaders here in London to work together for the security of the United Kingdom.

00:53:39.000 See, it's just their own version of grandiosity.

00:53:41.000 That's why I've been with European leaders. 0.98

00:53:44.000 Just because they're crap at it, it don't mean they're not trying to do it. 0.98

00:53:47.000 Trump does well what they do badly. 0.99

00:53:51.000 Joe Biden lost his temper with Zelensky.

00:53:54.000 It was just...

00:53:54.000 Boring when he did it.

00:53:56.000 Keir Starmer is making propaganda videos telling you, you know, there's no one as good as me, no one as smart as me.

00:54:02.000 Beautiful deal, beautiful deal.

00:54:03.000 It's going to be very good.

00:54:03.000 They're doing the same thing.

00:54:05.000 It's just got no land, no charm, no bombast.

00:54:08.000 It just lacks the basic traits of leadership.

00:54:12.000 So they can't condemn him from a position of class or moral superiority.

00:54:16.000 It's just aesthetics.

00:54:18.000 ...of the United Kingdom, Ukraine, and Europe as a whole.

00:54:23.000 We are at a crossroads in history today.

00:54:26.000 This is not a moment for more talk.

00:54:30.000 Why would you include the closing of the door in that video?

00:54:33.000 I'll tell you what that reference is.

00:54:34.000 That's from Godfather, when the door gets shut on Michael Corleone, shuts the door on Kay, his wife, Diane Keaton, as if to suggest, oh, it's male power going on in here.

00:54:45.000 This is where we do our gangster stuff.

00:54:47.000 Now, in the context of Godfather, perfectly legit, in the context of Keir Starmer, he ain't no Godfather.

00:54:52.000 He ain't no Michael Corleone.

00:54:53.000 This is a bureaucrat lawyer advocating for further war, potentially death of British kids.

00:54:59.000 I'm not just kids, you know, adult professional soldiers.

00:55:02.000 But nevertheless, you've got to believe in that stuff.

00:55:05.000 When people went to war in the late 30s and 40s, it's because they believed in fighting against Hitler and Nazism, even if some aspect of it was they were fighting for British imperial interests.

00:55:16.000 They believed in ending the Holocaust and genocide as much as they knew about it at the point where Britain entered the war.

00:55:22.000 They believed in protecting American interests when your country entered it after Pearl Harbor.

00:55:26.000 Now, we don't have them kind of relationships.

00:55:29.000 Now whatever Trump ain't doing, what he is doing is restoring that kind of connection to the land.

00:55:34.000 That's one of the things actually that scares people about patriotism, is that it vivifies and libidinises people.

00:55:41.000 What Starmer is doing is trying to simultaneously...

00:55:44.000 De-libidinise, de-amplify British people and their sense of power and potency, while still posturing and grandstanding like he's a don. 0.78

00:55:52.000 Now, they condemn someone like Andrew Tate as crass and vulgar and chauvinistic, but what does it mean when you post a video with a door being closed?

00:56:00.000 I was meeting the European leaders earlier this week.

00:56:04.000 Here I am marching down a corridor with Donald Trump.

00:56:06.000 I'm as good as him.

00:56:08.000 I show him my winky-woo. 0.90

00:56:09.000 He showed me his.

00:56:10.000 I pulled my skin back.

00:56:12.000 I've got nothing to be a...

00:56:13.000 They can't one minute say this guy is vulgar, then use the tropes and takes that Trump would use.

00:56:21.000 I've been meeting with leaders.

00:56:22.000 This is business time.

00:56:24.000 I'm shutting the door.

00:56:24.000 They're just bad at it.

00:56:26.000 More talk.

00:56:27.000 It's time to act.

00:56:29.000 Time to step up and lead and to unite around a new plan for a just and enduring peace. 0.99

00:56:39.000 What a lot of propagandist filth, filthy, filthy, stinking propaganda. 0.98

00:56:44.000 This is a British journalist called Matt Kennard. 0.99

00:56:46.000 He's very much...

00:56:47.000 Of the left.

00:56:49.000 He's responding here to Alistair Campbell, who was like a darling of Blair.

00:56:53.000 When Blair, the leader of my country, the UK, went to war with George W. Bush, the then-Republican leader of your country, for the false and erroneous Iraq War, which was a war that was about, many of us believed at the time, resources.

00:57:06.000 It was one of the moments where, you know, as a result of 9-11, many of us started to think...

00:57:10.000 Whose side are we on?

00:57:11.000 What are we men to believe in now?

00:57:13.000 Can we trust our governments?

00:57:14.000 Do our governments see their domestic populations as their primary enemy that have to be controlled, using war as a distraction, relying on our patriotism through jingoistic means in order to facilitate their own ends and advances?

00:57:28.000 Let me know what you think about that in the comments and chat.

00:57:30.000 Anyway, the brilliant journalist Matt Kennard posted...

00:57:32.000 This, in response, I believe, to Alistair Campbell's claim that Trump was a danger to world peace and that we should all get behind Keir Starmer.

00:57:42.000 Let's read it.

00:57:43.000 Alistair Campbell and his boss, Tony Blair, increased UK weapons export licences to Putin by 550% as he destroyed Chechnya and made Grozny the most destroyed city on Earth.

00:57:54.000 We are not going to apologise for developing a good relationship with an important world leader, Campbell said, after inviting Putin to London in the year 2000. 2000. Interesting.

00:58:03.000 We're not...

00:58:03.000 I'm going to apologise for developing a good relationship with an important world leader.

00:58:07.000 Now, think of how Trump is treated for his relationship with Putin.

00:58:11.000 Remember, it's very difficult to have an objective assessment of reality when you have such corrupt media, such unreliable and deceptive media.

00:58:19.000 How did they report on this at the time?

00:58:21.000 Were they saying, Putin's a monster, he's destroying Chechnya?

00:58:25.000 Were they saying that or were they not?

00:58:27.000 Were they saying, oh, Blair, you know, Britpop, isn't it lovely, Blurvy Oasis?

00:58:32.000 The media are...

00:58:33.000 They're vacuous vessels that cannot be relied upon now like they couldn't be relied upon then.

00:58:37.000 You can only trust someone if they seem to have an absolute moral perspective that they maintain even when it's costly for them. 0.99

00:58:44.000 For example, if during the pandemic people are like, whoa, whoa, I don't trust these motherfuckers, then you know you can probably rely on them some. 0.89

00:58:51.000 The following year, Russian investigative journalist Anna Politevetskia was in London and went to an event in London, in the London Press Club, which Blair and Campbell attended. 0.98

00:59:01.000 Polivotskia, who was publishing groundbreaking work on Russian atrocities in Chechnya, used the opportunity to question Blair as he sat at his table with Campbell.

00:59:09.000 The response of the Prime Minister of Great Britain to my inquiry regarding the nature of his affection for Putin was brief but comprehensive, she wrote.

00:59:15.000 He replied, it's my job as Prime Minister to like Putin.

00:59:19.000 And that was that.

00:59:20.000 What more was there to be said?

00:59:22.000 Polivotsky was later murdered in a contract-style killing in 2006. Putin is believed to have ordered the hit.

00:59:28.000 The wooing of Putin was about securing business for BP, or Blair Petroleum, as it was then known.

00:59:34.000 So, the business of politics has always been business.

00:59:38.000 Trump is overt about it.

00:59:40.000 Starmer is insidious about it.

00:59:42.000 Zelensky don't know which strings to respond to because it's confusing for a puppet when the hands that pull the strings change.

00:59:50.000 A minute ago, it was globalism.

00:59:52.000 In the form of Biden, now it's a kind of nativism, America first in the form of Trump.

00:59:56.000 That dude don't know which way's up. 0.91

00:59:58.000 But any moral claim to condemn Trump is ridiculous and dubious because it ain't undergirded by any real spiritual principles. 0.91

01:00:06.000 It's undergirded by expedience. 0.85

01:00:10.000 Globalist profiteers want control of Ukraine and the sets of interests that accrue around it.

01:00:16.000 Your Black Rocks, your IMFs, your World Banks, them that will make loans as long as you spend money I want to know who 0.99

01:00:48.000 the clients were.

01:00:49.000 Many are saying Bill Gates.

01:00:51.000 Client.

01:00:51.000 Many are saying Bill Clinton.

01:00:53.000 Client.

01:00:53.000 Let me know in the comments and chat who you think is going to be on those lists.

01:00:57.000 Who are those people that are going to those parties and why can't we get the proper reporting on it?

01:01:02.000 What is the power?

01:01:04.000 Behind Epstein.

01:01:05.000 What is the power that means that legacy media aren't asking the right questions?

01:01:10.000 Join us over on Rumble Premium right now.

01:01:12.000 We'll be covering that as well as Musk's appearance on Joe Rogan.

01:01:15.000 See you over there in a few seconds.

01:01:17.000 You guys that are with us still, remember that if you are a Rumble Premium holder, I'll be on Rumble Premium in a matter of minutes.

01:01:24.000 We've got two more brilliant stories to cover, the ones I've just listed.

01:01:26.000 You will get access to this kind of thing.

01:01:33.000 You know, express myself, baby.

01:01:35.000 It's nice to create containers and environments where you can truly be who you are so you don't feel like there's any part of you kept away from Him.

01:01:42.000 That there's not like, oh, if people knew this about me, they wouldn't love me.

01:01:45.000 Oh, no, I'm terrible and dirty.

01:01:47.000 Because we are forgiven for all things.

01:01:48.000 We are forgiven for all things.

01:01:50.000 But they say in the 12-step group, sometimes my God comes wrapped in skin and Lord alone knows the skin of our Heavenly Father and the blessed gift of His Son.

01:01:58.000 The skin was most important.

01:02:00.000 It was the skin that was pierced.

01:02:01.000 It was the skin that was scored.

01:02:03.000 But when people can show me Jesus, I love that.

01:02:09.000 I love it when I go into a state where I can see people, how he sees them, and then I can see him in them.

01:02:17.000 Those two things.

01:02:18.000 When I see him in them, it's normally they're being right.

01:02:20.000 Join us on Rumble Premium to see those shows.

01:02:25.000 In full, as well as getting an ad-free experience.

01:02:27.000 When you get Rumble Premium, you don't get no ads popping up.

01:02:30.000 It's better, isn't it?

01:02:31.000 I think it's better when you don't have ads.

01:02:33.000 You also get additional content from other Rumble content creators, not just me, as well as supporting us.

01:02:37.000 If you're on Locals, of course, we're going to continue to post all of our stuff there.

01:02:41.000 Where's them Epstein lists?

01:02:43.000 Who's on them Epstein lists?

01:02:45.000 Bill?

01:02:46.000 Not that one, that one.

01:02:47.000 Oh, maybe both of them.

01:02:48.000 Come on, guys.

01:02:50.000 Did you go to a special holiday on that island?

01:02:53.000 Did you not ask enough questions?

01:02:55.000 Where's the list?

01:02:56.000 Give us the list.

01:02:57.000 Now, here is Attorney General Pam Bondi explaining that this time, this time more than any other time, she will give us the list.

01:03:07.000 Give us the list.

01:03:09.000 Give us a list.

01:03:14.000 We all did.

01:03:15.000 And the FBI handed over a couple hundred pages of documents.

01:03:19.000 But, you know, Sean, I gave them a deadline of Friday at 8 a.m.

01:03:23.000 to get us everything, and a source had told me where the documents were being kept.

01:03:28.000 Southern District of New York, shock.

01:03:30.000 So we got them all by, hopefully, all of them.

01:03:33.000 Friday at 8 a.m., thousands of pages of documents.

01:03:36.000 I have the FBI going through them, and Cash is also...

01:03:39.000 Now that we have Cash here, it's a game-changer, of course.

01:03:42.000 And Cash is going to...

01:03:44.000 Director Patel is going to get us...

01:03:47.000 I'm Dan Bongino.

01:03:49.000 A detailed report as to why the FBI withheld all of those documents.

01:03:54.000 Okay.

01:03:54.000 I want to be clear because I think people got frustrated because they were expecting more.

01:03:59.000 You were expecting more.

01:04:01.000 And you didn't find out less than 24 hours before the release.

01:04:05.000 You got a whistleblower that confirmed that there were way more documents that they were supposed to turn over.

01:04:12.000 And then you found out just before that.

01:04:14.000 That's why you need doge, is it?

01:04:16.000 Because there's people within these institutions that don't even obey presidential decrees.

01:04:21.000 Do you believe that?

01:04:22.000 Do you remember, of course, who was president when Epstein was killed in prison?

01:04:27.000 Oh, sorry, committed suicide in prison.

01:04:28.000 It was Trump.

01:04:30.000 Do you think that's significant?

01:04:31.000 Let me know in the comments and chat what you think about that.

01:04:33.000 Well, sure.

01:04:34.000 And you're looking at these documents going, these aren't all the Epstein files.

01:04:38.000 You know, there were flight logs.

01:04:39.000 There were names and victims' names.

01:04:41.000 And we're going, where's the rest of the stuff?

01:04:43.000 And that's what the FBI had turned over to us.

01:04:46.000 And so a source said, whoa, all this evidence is sitting in the Southern District of New York.

01:04:51.000 So based on...

01:04:52.000 I like hearing a U.S. Attorney General go, whoa, like that.

01:04:56.000 You know, it shows that the media environment is ordering, the style of rhetoric is changing, and the dialogue as ordered.

01:05:02.000 We have a different kind of conversation with power now.

01:05:05.000 We will work out whether it's better or qualitatively different even.

01:05:09.000 But it's certainly...

01:05:11.000 I don't know, it's better entertainment, isn't it?

01:05:12.000 They're more interesting.

01:05:13.000 Here's Elon Musk confirming that the Bills and LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman were Epstein clients.

01:05:20.000 But what does it mean, Epstein client?

01:05:23.000 Does it mean he just had a bunch of fancy, sexy parties?

01:05:25.000 Or does it mean that something more nefarious was going on?

01:05:27.000 I suppose what the ultimate claim is, is what...

01:05:30.000 What is the power behind Epstein?

01:05:32.000 Why is it we can't know the truth?

01:05:33.000 Same with the JFK files, really.

01:05:35.000 What is the protected and preserved power that's alluded to and suggested that we, the people, you, the people, if you're American, cannot get access to?

01:05:44.000 Here's Elon Musk on exactly that subject.

01:05:47.000 Convicted felon.

01:05:47.000 They kept saying convicted felon, convicted felon.

01:05:50.000 And everybody knows what it is.

01:05:52.000 It's terrifying.

01:05:53.000 It's terrifying they could do it so brazenly to a guy who was the president for four years.

01:06:00.000 Right. 0.99

01:06:01.000 That lawsuit was funded by Reid Hoffman, who is a major damn donor. 0.98

01:06:07.000 And also an Epstein client. 0.98

01:06:12.000 The plot thickens.

01:06:14.000 The plot thickens.

01:06:15.000 Jesus Christ.

01:06:16.000 Yes.

01:06:18.000 It's just...

01:06:20.000 It's so blatant.

01:06:23.000 So the instruments of justice are being wielded by...

01:06:27.000 Funded by, manoeuvred and manipulated by political interests.

01:06:30.000 Something like justice, which you think of as being objective, along with the media, which we once thought of as a conduit.

01:06:35.000 That the point of media was to hold the powerful to account, to report to the populare, the people, us, what the powerful are up to.

01:06:42.000 Now we know that the media is a corrupted vessel, funded by Bill Gates, and now we know that the judiciary appears to be manipulated by powerful interests as well.

01:06:49.000 Isn't that fascinating?

01:06:50.000 It's so blatant.

01:06:52.000 It's like so obvious.

01:06:53.000 The SpaceX lawsuit, the Trump stuff, it's just, it's so obvious.

01:06:56.000 Yes.

01:06:57.000 Like, known Epstein clients, who are obviously extremely powerful, they're powerful politically and very wealthy, are, you know, Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, and Reid Hoffman.

01:07:14.000 And some others too, but those three.

01:07:18.000 So, you know.

01:07:20.000 Why was Reid Hoffman so intent on destroying Trump?

01:07:25.000 Do you think it's because they're worried about the list coming out?

01:07:29.000 Yeah.

01:07:30.000 One of the reasons.

01:07:33.000 Yeah.

01:07:34.000 They pause a lot, don't they?

01:07:36.000 That's what happens when you get confident people on a podcast pauses.

01:07:39.000 Me?

01:07:40.000 No dead air.

01:07:41.000 I'm not saying I'm not confident, but I'm saying I don't like a pause.

01:07:45.000 Not in a podcast.

01:07:48.000 So...

01:07:48.000 I mean, I'm like, this is, you know, yeah, so...

01:07:52.000 It's so frustrating to be sitting in a situation where the list isn't coming out.

01:07:56.000 Where's the list?

01:07:57.000 Give us a list, give us a list.

01:07:59.000 One person who ain't shy about giving their opinion is Candace Owens.

01:08:04.000 Her claim is that the Epstein list pertains to Mossad and therefore Israeli activity and ultimately Epstein was a kind of a marionette.

01:08:18.000 So what do you think is going on with the stringing along of the release of the Epstein files?

01:08:23.000 I'm a bit disappointed and I find it slightly alarming of the promises being made and the promises not being kept.

01:08:28.000 I gave my take on this yesterday, Christina.

01:08:30.000 If you go back and watch it in the comments, or I think we actually covered it, but we're never going to see it.

01:08:34.000 Because too many powerful people are involved in it.

01:08:37.000 And also it implicates Israel.

01:08:40.000 And we never see any files that could potentially implicate Israel.

01:08:43.000 That's my take on it.

01:08:44.000 So put it out of your mind.

01:08:45.000 It's never going to happen.

01:08:46.000 Hilda writes, Deep down, we always knew that we were being lied to.

01:08:49.000 Now we have access to everything, giving them no room for lies. 0.95

01:08:52.000 You do an amazing job at making them look like clowns. 0.96

01:08:54.000 Facts. 0.78

01:08:54.000 Congratulations on 4 million. 0.78

01:08:56.000 Yeah, and this is why they hate me.

01:08:57.000 This is why someone as creepy and weird as EJ... Write these sorts of articles because now we have a way to get around the mainstream media and I'm giving you the document.

01:09:07.000 You can go fact check this yourself.

01:09:09.000 I don't consider myself to be an authority on this stuff.

01:09:11.000 I consider you guys to be my colleagues and we're all researching and we're learning together.

01:09:16.000 And if we get something wrong, we can pivot and we can say, okay, that was wrong.

01:09:19.000 We covered this last week.

01:09:20.000 Here's how we can patch that and fix it.

01:09:23.000 And I just think the era...

01:09:26.000 That's what you want to call it, of people looking up to reporters as if they're honest and truthful and non-biased.

01:09:32.000 It's just completely over.

01:09:34.000 Right and left, we know that that is just not the circumstance and that it's going to require us to start thinking critically and to continue to think critically, even about the people that you follow like me.

01:09:43.000 Just fact-check stuff yourself.

01:09:45.000 Make sure everything is real.

01:09:47.000 I think that's all that we can really offer.

01:09:49.000 If we don't get the Epstein list, it suggests that the Epstein list contains information that would disrupt power in its...

01:09:56.000 Current form.

01:09:58.000 One of the things that's exciting about the MAGA, MAHA populist movement is the idea that anti-establishmentism is in the heart of the establishment.

01:10:07.000 Hence Doge.

01:10:08.000 Hence Bobby Kennedy, an edge-lands figure in the heart of government.

01:10:12.000 Hence Kash Patel at the FBI. Dan Bongino, our own, at the FBI. It's an extraordinary fluctuation.

01:10:20.000 But if we don't get the Epstein list, it suggests that there is some power that can't be commented on.

01:10:26.000 And Candace Owens' diagnosis is that that power is the influence of Israel's political agenda on American domestic politics.

01:10:35.000 That's an interesting take.

01:10:36.000 I wonder if it goes even further.

01:10:39.000 Beyond that.

01:10:40.000 Let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.

01:10:44.000 Now, if you are a Rumble Premium subscriber, you can stay with us.

01:10:47.000 We're going to talk about Andrew Tate now, and we're going to talk about Andrew Tate's extraordinarily articulate take on the Palestine-Israel conflict, as well as much, much more.

01:10:58.000 And you can join us for Break Bread with Sean Foy, a Christian pastor and outspoken political...

01:11:06.000 I mean, certainly very outspoken during the Democrat era.

01:11:08.000 So join us for Break Bread at 1 o'clock.

01:11:11.000 That's Central Time.

01:11:12.000 So they're for what?

01:11:12.000 12 Eastern Time?

01:11:14.000 2 Eastern Time.
