	This is Propaganda Live.
	I only suggest how to think and how to vote.
	Extraordinary cultural moment, already iconic, already iconic.
	We love you, you're welcome here.
	Where did this guy come from?
	It's like he's been doing it for ages, he's very confident.
	Plainly, and this is a matter now of fact and record, I'm right wing.
	I feel that Christ may have had a better vision.
	Is this misinformation or is Vivek Ramaswamy in the lavatory?
	That's a sort of like a poet.
	Is this Eminem? Man, if we didn't come together in that stream.
	assuming it was just the p now these are the kind of conversations i think that the legacy media can no longer compete with win win win win win win win win This is On Brand, a podcast where we discuss the ideas and antics of one Russell Brand.
	I'm Al Wirth, and each week I go through an episode of Brand's show with my co-host Lauren B. That's me, I'm Lauren B, and I have no idea what we'll be getting into today, but it's usually kind of bad.
	It's almost invariably bad, which is why we do the good thing before the bad thing.
	And Lauren, what is your good thing before the bad thing this week?
	Oh, uh, the terror.
	The Terror. There's a show, The Terror.
	A bunch of AMC stuff got...
	Yeah, that's funny. Okay. The horror of existence.
	Yeah. I was like, whoa. Constant existential dread.
	Yeah, no, The Terror. It was...
	It is like a limited AMC. The guy that played Mance Rayder in Game of Thrones is in it.
	There's a guy from Mad Men who's wonderful.
	Oh, and there's a guy that's usually...
	He looks kind of like...
	Oh, we can't think of it right now.
	Anyway, there's a guy that usually...
	This is the fun part, specifically.
	The show is great. It's on Netflix.
	Oh my God, watch it.
	It's incredible. It's like so good.
	I mean, it's like a period piece, right?
	It's like a maritime period piece slash monster thing.
	Spoopy season is officially upon us.
	I was going to say, perfect for October.
	Awesome. We were like riveted.
	And it had been suggested to me.
	I don't really hear people talking about it.
	But yeah, a bunch of AMC stuff got dumped onto Netflix all at once.
	And so it was just one of those AMC things.
	So like, fuck, it was so good.
	And there's a guy, dark eyes, dark hair, kind of face like a boat oar.
	Just like, I don't, it makes sense if you're looking at him.
	Who's like always been like a hapless, like two-bit, like henchman villain in a lot of stuff.
	Oh, I like those.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, and he does such a good job at being that...
	You hate him.
	He does evil stuff, but you don't hate him because he's evil.
	You hate him because he's fucking stupid.
	He is the shooting...
	He's fully a leopards-ate-my-face guy.
	This actor always gets those roles, and they don't necessarily do a bait-and-switch, but I feel like people knew that casting him.
	And it was, it's just like, it was so fun.
	I don't know, everybody does a fucking great job.
	It looks incredible.
	But like, there's a guy that is that guy.
	Every time when I see him in a thing, I'm like, oh, I'm gonna hate you.
	And it was different.
	It was certainly, it wasn't necessarily like a huge, like, bait and switch.
	It was definitely different. It was like, that was, it's just, it's like smart and intense and like, fun and, um, Yeah, so that was like, man, we devoured that series, and I want five more.
	Oh my gosh, I want five more.
	But also, we had some friends who were like, I tried it on the first episode, and I couldn't really, I didn't really get into it.
	Interesting. Hang in there.
	It's great. Or, I'm the most boring person in the world, which is a distinct, that's like, There's a distinct possibility that that's true.
	That I am a feckin' snooze.
	Honestly, you're preaching to the choir.
	I like the boring stuff.
	My favorite parts of Game of Thrones?
	The politics. Right?
	I'm one of those people.
	My favorite season of The Wire?
	Season 2. Right?
	I'm one of those people.
	So... Yeah, those are known as boring shows.
	I feel like they really keep it spicy, but sure.
	I'm saying there's no bribery, I guess, of exciting stuff, really, at the beginning.
	But listen, the payoff is after the first kind of little bit.
	There's a build. Yeah, and it's like Victorian kind of language, and I feel like most of it was in the first episode, which was like, you know, I watch a lot of old crap, and so usually I can follow pretty well, but I was like, I'm just going to use context clues here because I have no idea.
	Like, I can't keep up, you know?
	But you just write it out.
	Write it out. You're not dumb.
	It's a different way to talk.
	Write it out. It's great.
	Yeah, so what's your good thing?
	My good thing is, well, simple and brief, Joe Lycett is my good thing this week.
	The comedian at Joe Lycett, formerly known as Hugo Boss, Yeah, I've always enjoyed him, always appreciated his comedy.
	I've been catching up with a bit of Taskmaster lately, because it's a great fucking show.
	Very, very, very funny.
	And yeah, I've been particularly enjoying him in that.
	And I have realized I definitely have at least a little crush on Joe Lycett.
	So yeah, that's my good thing this week.
	I'm like, oh, Joe, he's great.
	I think if you don't, you're crazy.
	He's a treasure.
	Oh, he's adorable. He's just a blessing.
	Have you watched his show? Like his talk show?
	I've seen bits. I haven't seen the whole thing properly.
	I probably will now.
	It's going on the list.
	But yeah, I've always loved him anyway, because he's always been very kind of morally quite righteous.
	I've always enjoyed him kind of speaking truth to power in an amusing way, hence being formally known as Hugo Boss.
	But yeah, it's been nice to kind of get to grips with him a little bit more through Taskmaster and that kind of thing.
	Yeah. And more.
	Yes! Put him on TV more.
	Someone figured it out.
	Lay it on me.
	Yes! What a great idea to put that guy on TV more.
	He's spectacular.
	He came up this past off-brand and we talked about the Rwanda plan.
	And so that was part of why I decided I gotta really dig into this and bring it to the show.
	Because they kept making jokes about it, and it was one of those things that kind of pushed me over the edge, just really stuck in my craw.
	It's great that that went away, but maybe we should look at it and be critical about it, even though it's been deferred to some other place.
	Yeah, he's a treasure. Yeah, he is.
	He is an absolute treasure.
	Okay, so we've got a show to do, but first let's thank a couple of new patrons.
	So, Simon Shirley, you are now on Awakening Wonder.

	So, this week was a big one, to be honest.
	Firstly, one thing that's been doing the rounds on the old internet is that Russell and his buddy Joe, you know, the one who gouged his foot open, they baptized someone else in the Thames, the two of them.
	In what I'm guessing was an impromptu baptism?
	Or rather, I'm hoping it was.
	And considering he's a babe in Christ or whatever, it does seem to be a bit early for him to be baptizing others.
	But that's not actually what's caused the most fuss among the Christian rite online.
	It was his choice of outfit for said baptism, which looked like this.
	Underpants. Yeah.
	Underpants, tighty-whities specifically.
	Yeah. Yes, Joe is also in his boxer shorts.
	Yeah, Joe's at least, that's, you know, you could run a Tough Mudder in that, but Russell just is in his baby days.
	Tighty-whities. Yeah, the bulge is present.
	So yeah, a lot of Christians were complaining specifically about modesty, you know, and asking why the tighty-whities, and you know what?
	Fair enough on that score. No arguments here.
	I agree. I'm gonna guess, I'm hoping this was just an impromptu thing, and they decided to baptize this other guy who was already wearing a wetsuit, and they themselves had not been prepared for it, and so stripped down so that they had something dry to wear afterwards.
	That's what I'm hoping.
	If it was prepared, then that's a whole different question, but let's assume for now that this was not intentional.
	Oh, man.
	There's like so many protocols.
	And it's another thing that we talked about in Off Brand, which is like kind of why this is really, really not good.
	Like Christians should have every reason in the world to be peeved.
	Like just at this, at Russell's behavior.
	It doesn't make sense. Yeah, the way he's defended himself was saying, oh, the apostles were baptizing people on day one and, you know, getting stuck in there and that kind of thing.
	I'm like, well, you're not an apostle, Russell.
	Yeah, right?
	It's different. It's definitely different.
	Jesus literally physically said, A-OK, brother, dunk away.
	Yes. Yes, exactly.
	And, you know, when the Son of God says it, fair enough.
	But in this case, I don't know.
	I'd be mad. So since then, anyway, Russell has been back in those United States of yours and did another of Tucker Carlson's live shows.
	This time backing up country singer John Rich, who was originally billed solo with Tucker.
	I'm guessing the tickets weren't moving too well, which I do hear is a problem with John Rich in general.
	Not a lot of buzz around the guy.
	I have no idea who that is.
	That is a person who is...
	I live in a John Rich-less universe.
	Yeah, you know what, that's fair.
	He's a country singer with, he's got a number of writing credits.
	I think he did one with Miley Cyrus.
	I think he's got a writing credit with Taylor Swift as well, actually.
	Well, neither of them were on the bill, were they?
	No, they were not!
	No, he's very, very alt-right, very Christian.
	Very, very Christian, and has lurched further to the right in the last kind of decade, and I think that's why there's perhaps been more of a decline in his career.
	Anyway... We're not covering that today.
	Firstly, because I've had quite enough of Tucker lately.
	And secondly, the conversation that happened was very similar to the last one, but with yet more religiosity.
	It got pretty intense on the God stuff.
	We may come back to it, I don't know.
	But for now, it can stay where it is in the depths of Tucker's Twitter.
	And may it get lost there.
	Yeah, it's a light performance.
	I would imagine it'd be similar.
	I would hope they're professional enough to have a similar presentation and not a brand new one.
	That really tells me that they are pulling it completely out of their butt.
	I would have hoped for, like, some more interesting questions, you know, to move you in a different direction.
	Didn't really get that. It was all kind of the same talking points.
	Like, yeah, fuck it. Okay, fine.
	I mean, that's...
	Yeah, just play the set list.
	You know, I wouldn't think of anything massively different.
	Yeah, yeah. For a live performance.
	Because I also wouldn't assume that these people are watching all the videos and stuff, necessarily, if they're like, I already got tickets.
	I don't know. You know what?
	I can't get into their headspace.
	It depends how much you trust Elon Musk's numbers on Twitter, and I do not at all.
	Exactly. But by those numbers, that video was watched two and a half million times, and I don't think so.
	Anyway, the thing we will be covering today, well, there's no proper introduction of it, really, but I'm going to play another clip from Russell's socials of him talking about it, because he gets the name of the event wrong in a very specific way.
	We're at the Rumble Studios in Washington to cover the Rescue the West I hope that that's not a kind of cultural blasphemy.
	Here's where we'll be doing our show.
	Oh, yes! For the next few days, we're doing Rescue the West.
	We've managed to already have an encounter.
	I'll tell you more about that a little later.
	Oh, how exciting. What a beautiful place.
	Oh, homely. That's what Rumble's all about.
	It's a proper platform. The show will be on at the normal time tomorrow with Jimmy Dore and This week I'll be at Rumble Studios.
	Rescue the West today, though, in a minute.
	Yeah, it's not Rescue the West, it's Rescue the Republic.
	Rescue the West is a very different event, albeit possibly with a lot of the same guests, I imagine, with a much more racially-charged kind of dynamic.
	That's the sort of event that Alex Jones would be invited to, though he was not on the bill for Rescue the Republic, which is interesting.
	So yeah, Russell's in D.C. at Rumble Studios because the event itself took place this last Sunday just next to the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C. Russell was one of the guests.
	A lot of guests.
	And what we're gonna do is we are gonna go through the entire seven-hour event.
	Meaning this episode of our show will be part one of two because there's no way we're foolish enough to tackle all of it in one sitting.
	So, one thing to note is that my instincts were to record the stream as it happened, because they were live streaming it, you know, and to record it just in case.
	And my instincts were proven correct, because as soon as the event was over, the social media accounts of Rescue the Republic purged every video and every streamed video they had of the event, as well as removing the stream from their website.
	Which, bizarre decision.
	I was deeply curious about that.
	Wow! What?
	Yeah! I know!
	So they live-streamed the whole thing.
	They were putting up social videos during and everything.
	Soon as the event ended, within 10 minutes, every single one was gone.
	I was like, oh, that's weird.
	Wait, wait, wait. Is it a one-off event, or are they trying to, like, compete?
	I mean, they're all doing tours now, so...
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Are they like, you don't get to have anything for free, you have to go get tickets to see it kind of a thing?
	Is it marketing or is it...
	It wasn't even a paid event to attend.
	Attendance was free. So, no, I'm going to say.
	Part of the narrative was like, oh, millions of people are going to be watching this online.
	That was kind of part of the general...
	And so taking it all down, pretty bizarre to me.
	Stranger still, however, is that they've now put the full stream back up, but on Rumble, through an account of some guy called Big Mig, who has around 10,000 followers.
	Big Mig wasn't at the event.
	He had nothing to do with organizing it, so far as I can tell.
	He's just a random alt-right dude.
	But that's where the official recording is for some reason.
	Or I think we know who did the editing.
	Maybe. Maybe.
	Maybe. They're just not great at branding stuff, I guess.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
	So because of when I started recording, we missed the very, very beginning of this.
	So the two things we're going to miss out are Rob Schneider introducing the event and taking the stage.
	Oh, no. And he will be emceeing for a good chunk, though.
	So don't worry. We're going to get some Schneider.
	And metal band Skillet playing one song before leaving the stage.
	That's what we got. Skillet?
	Skillet, yeah. Yeah, they fully, ooh, oh boy.
	Maybe, listen, they were never, it was never the Ritz.
	They were never, yeah.
	They were never the fucking Beatles.
	Listen, it's fine, but that's just funny.
	Yeah, they hit, like, I remember in the early 2000s, there were a couple of Skillet songs where I'd be like, yeah, not bad, you know, mid, you know, this is okay.
	As it was. They were one of the bands we were allowed to listen to because it was a Christian, like it was explicitly a Christian band.
	Oh. Yeah.
	Okay, right. Yeah, yeah. That makes sense.
	Is it the 40 Days song? I don't remember.
	Anyway, yeah. God love them.
	Well, listen.
	Still making their car note.
	Okay. All right. Yeah, they're still up there.
	I will say the song they played musically was not bad.
	Lyrically, eh. But anyway, we all know what skill it sounds like.
	We don't need to hear it anyway.
	No. Oh my god, we don't.
	No, we don't. So from there, Rob Schneider introduces the first speaker, and it's an interesting choice to come right off the bat.
	There he is. Alright, thank you for being here.
	Ladies and gentlemen, let's keep this going now.
	I'm honored to be with you.
	Now, let us welcome to the stage a first responder.
	Steve Slepcevic, he is CEO of SRP24 and Saber Security.
	35 years of responding to some of America's greatest disasters.
	As a matter of fact, he just got back this morning from Florida, where his first responders and security teams are working tirelessly to help those in need and keeping us here safe today.
	Please welcome Steve Slepcevic!
	Steve Slepcevic.
	Now, I imagine no one's really heard of this guy, and why would you have, right?
	He was just credited as being a first responder with decades of helping people in crises around the US, right?
	That was the credit. The way he puts it is that he's an expert in disaster management, specifically through his company, Strategic Response Partners.
	Now, I have a slightly different perspective on Mr.
	Slepcevic, because what he actually does is wait until there's a disaster, then swoop in and hoover up any construction contracts that are available while raking in consultant fees with anyone who will hire him as a construction expert.
	His business also helps people with insurance claims after a disaster, for a fee, while insisting that insurance claims themselves are nigh impossible for the regular person to fill out properly, so he should do them.
	Or insurance agents that show up and help you with an app on their phone.
	Nah, pay this guy! He can also help with disaster preparedness and will say things like, 40% of businesses that experience a disaster never reopen.
	Don't let yours be one of them.
	Essentially, oh, and also he opened a private security firm in 2021 that also sends security teams to these disaster places as well, because that seems necessary.
	So yeah, essentially he's a fucking vulture, waiting for a natural disaster or crisis so he can profit off of it and the probable actual corpses.
	He's not a first responder of any sort, unless you count being the first person with his hands out looking to take your money.
	Oh, he responds first! Oh, he responds first!
	He responds quickly to that! Yeah, right.
	Yeah, and then when nothing's happening, he will try and terrify small businesses into hiring his firm as consultants for, like, preventative measures for disasters.
	You're like, oh my fucking Christ, okay.
	Okay, so, if anybody needs to learn more about, like, this is something that, like, business owners do not find out until they have an actual crisis of some kind, right?
	And then... The Vultures show up.
	And actually, Johnny Wanzer has done a really great...
	So I think that it's going to be a series.
	But just look up Johnny Wanzer, W-A-N-Z-E-R. He's on YouTube and Instagram for sure.
	Probably TikTok. And...
	He has interviewed—so there were all these floods in Vermont, and basically he interviewed all the business owners, and they each have different really crazy stories about these kind of dudes showing up and really kind of wreaking havoc and absolutely full-on huckster taking advantage, scammy scammers who scam.
	Mm-hmm. It has serious deleterious effects on a community, especially when the local response is bad.
	When the local government response is bad, they go in and make it way worse.
	It's scary and sad and it's way too fucking common.
	Also, if he's so important for responding first to disasters, I would think that the hurricanes that have happened are devastating.
	This is a really, really fucking bad one.
	Like, what happened here is really, really bad.
	Like, it shouldn't be in, like, Eastern Tennessee.
	If he was as crucial, he would not be at the speaking engagement.
	I cannot imagine that that's true.
	If that's, like, actually, if he was needed.
	If he was that vital.
	I mean, he does have, I think, 60-something employees, so presumably they're there making money for him.
	That's nothing. That's nothing.
	If you were the guy, 60 is, that's just enough to be scamming.
	Straight up. Yeah.
	And the construction thing, obviously, is made worse by the fact that, you know, who could really use a win when there's a crisis, when that kind of thing happens?
	Maybe you The local contractors and construction companies from that area could maybe do some of it and, you know, try and, I don't know, some of that state and federal money, you know, actually going to the people where the crisis is happening seems to be a better idea than throwing it at this guy, Steve. You know? It's just a hunch.
	Yeah, and you know who did come into Vermont and just gave business owners a bunch of money?
	Fish. The band Fish.
	Just like no strings attached, like gave a bunch of business owners a bunch of money.
	Good on, good on.
	I would have never known if like the business owners themselves were like, yeah, Trey Anastasia showed up and gave us a check.
	Like it's just like, it's so wild, you know?
	Like that's, and not, and he's not talking about it.
	What a fascinating, fascinating cultural phenomenon that band are in general.
	Well, I mean, That's, there is an understanding, especially, you know, like Ben and Jerry's Vermont, like there is a specific kind of like, I don't know, like roots acknowledgement, you know, like for people that, I don't know, old hippies used to actually help each other.
	Community, yeah. That used to be a thing.
	Do the thing, exactly, exactly.
	So this guy is a very particular kind of Just greased it.
	Tight. Cool.
	Right. So already off to a bad start with this guy.
	And I was like, oh, this is speaker number one?
	This is where we're going?
	Okay. And he's there to also introduce some other people who are about to show up.
	And then things get immediately worse.
	Before we begin, I want to draw your attention to the distant perimeter.
	Out there. You will hear a powerful sound of pipes and drums that are going to be cutting through the air as they move their way towards the stage.
	I'll tell you a little bit about what this represents.
	These are the firefighters from every corner of our great republic.
	Some have come from the streets of Los Angeles, others from the city that never sleeps, New York.
	From Kentucky to North Carolina.
	From Florida to Maryland.
	And yes, some from right here in our nation's capital.
	They've traveled here at their own expense.
	But more importantly, they're here to remind us of something we seem to have forgotten.
	The power of standing together in unity for freedom.
	Among these ranks, firefighters, doctors, parents, advocates, and many Americans who've lost almost everything.
	Careers, medical licenses, life savings, friends and family, because they refuse to submit to mandates that violated their principles and their bodily autonomy.
	There it is. Some, even carrying the flag, That we're pressured into taking a failed government experiment that has left them severely injured, forced into medical retirement.
	They are you.
	These courageous men and women stood on the front lines during the pandemic, risking their lives to save others, and yet were cast aside when they've defended their freedoms.
	Folks, silence is compliance.
	Yeah, fuck you, Steve.
	So these firefighters, as you can see from the little thing across the bottom there, the little banner, they're apparently at this event to honor fallen fire chief Cory Comperator, who was shot and killed at the Trump rally during the first assassination attempt, right? Right. Now, I don't know that much about Cory Comparator.
	Everything I could find online suggested he was a lovely guy who did everything he could to help everyone in his community.
	That's all I could find.
	You know, and yeah, fair enough.
	Obviously, he was at a Trump rally.
	So alongside that, there is a good chance he agreed with a lot of the speakers that we're going to be hearing today.
	Regardless, what Steve and Rescue the Republic are doing is weaponizing Cory Comparator's tragic death in service of pushing an anti-vaccine agenda.
	Not only that, but it's using the firefighters carrying the American flags in his honor as props to legitimize that agenda.
	I have no clue whether the firefighters knew that this was going to be like an anti-vax tirade weaponizing their fallen colleagues' death, but I doubt it.
	Either way, fucking gross.
	Well, are they the guys that knew Corey, or are they just people from across America?
	Okay, so then I think it's more likely that they are like an anti-vax, or like they're protesting the vaccine and they show up places more so than like the guys that worked with Yeah, yeah.
	It's possible. It's possible.
	The way it's presented on the screen is, well, they're from across America to honor fallen Fire Chief Corey Comparator.
	Oh, they can write whatever they want on the Chiron.
	No, it's true. It's true.
	My point is more, they could have just been invited for that, and they might have gone, yeah, no, we'll go there and carry the flag for this guy.
	Yeah, yeah. So they might not have known is what I'm saying.
	They also might have.
	I think more would have shown up if the event wasn't quite so clear as to the motive.
	I would expect to see more.
	Even just from locally.
	Well, I mean, also there was a big disaster or something, but anyway.
	Either way, pretty fucking gross from top to bottom.
	I don't know if that happened yet, actually.
	Now that I'm thinking about it, I don't know if that- Yeah, this was Sunday.
	This was Sunday. This past Sunday.
	Oh, so then- Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, okay.
	Alright, so moving along, we have some guy comes on to introduce a bishop who has an interesting perspective.
	to christen this historic moment in prayer.
	Please welcome Bishop Carlos Mendez.
	Well, all of you that are standing here today are going to go to heaven.
	Oh! That's nice.
	Because we're standing up for God and we're standing up for country.
	And we want to rescue this nation.
	How many think the United States of America is worth it?
	God bless America!
	Solid boundary. Let's say it together.
	God bless America!
	Lord, we remember the story of the Great Wall of China.
	What? Built to protect the nation, yet it wasn't the walls that failed, but the hearts of the guards that were bribed into bringing illegals into their country.
	We ask that you guard us from those leaders who have betrayed our country.
	Oh no, that's a bad bishop.
	That's a bad bishop.
	I'm sorry. Yeah, so according to this dude, the soldiers at the Great Wall were bribed to let the illegals in.
	And then China fell.
	This is what happened.
	Wow. News to me!
	Tell me about it, right?
	News to me!
	Okay. Also, everybody's going to heaven tight.
	Cool. Yeah, everyone there.
	Everyone there. Yeah, the illegals in this case that would have been in China that he would be referring to must have been Genghis Khan and his massive fucking army.
	And I would think the massive army might have had a bit more to do with how they took the wall, you know?
	Like, to be clear, Genghis Khan did...
	Kangaskhan did recruit some of the Jinn army that were guarding the northwest section of the Jinn Great Wall, which was helpful as they then got to like, you know, take over a base there.
	But most of his efforts actually involved defeating Shah to the west and enemies to the north and also killing a good bunch of Jinn who wouldn't defect over to his side.
	But yeah, according to this dude, China fell because the illegals and the guards who let them in.
	We're also equating migrants as- To invaders.
	Well, yeah, as one of the most fearsome fighting forces In, like, human history?
	Yes. The fuck?
	I mean, we know why, because, like, you know, men of military fighting age, because they maybe are wearing a, you know, oh no, I'm wearing a camo shirt right now.
	I'm obviously a threat.
	Yes, you are. Yes, you are.
	Yeah, I do appreciate how he's holding the mic like a rapper, though.
	I do like that.
	I will appreciate that about you, Bishop.
	So next up, we have this event's main organizer, who was Brett Weinstein.
	Yeah, he's the one leading the charge on this.
	And I'm going to give him some space to speak about why he's bothered putting this event on in the first place.
	Like, what the fuck is the purpose, right?
	For anyone who doesn't know him, he's an alt-right discredited biologist with an ego the size of Saturn and a persecution complex that could honestly match Russell's.
	It's remarkable. Alright, let's go.
	Speech is our right and our duty.
	It is the alternative to violence, coercion, and tyranny.
	And whether the force that presently intimidates us is foreign, domestic, or some hybrid of the two, we are duty bound to confront it, to peaceably assemble, to speak without hesitation about our grievances.
	I say the calculus is clear because the targeting of our civil liberties tells us where we are headed.
	If we don't stand up now, the slight relief we feel in the present will be replaced in short order by the suffering and horror experienced by those who face a historic atrocity.
	We must stare down this threat.
	We have no choice.
	Okay, so it's free speech and standing up now against our oppressors, otherwise we're all going to be victims of a great atrocity. otherwise we're all going to be victims of a great That's what's at risk here.
	We could all be great atrocities in some way.
	Scary stuff so far.
	I thought he said we were already, like, I assumed he was talking about the vaccine, because he's also standing at a podium that says, make America healthy again.
	Yes, he is. He is.
	That's RFK Jr.'s little slogan.
	It's a whole thing.
	But yeah, the idea is that like, hey, if we don't do something now, this is going to get a lot worse, everybody.
	All right, so let's see where he takes this thought.
	We must speak out loud about our doubts and fears, as that old song would have it.
	Now, as long as we're on the topic of fears, let's confront one directly.
	If, as the event proceeds, you find yourself faced with someone displaying Nazi symbols, inciting violence or lawlessness, or you encounter a group of people dressed in paramilitary garb, those are assuredly federal agents.
	Thank them for their service and move on.
	Yeah.
	Well, that's handy, isn't it?
	Just anyone who causes any shit or is in any way hateful at all, regardless how much they agree with us, they're a federal agent and it was an inside job.
	They've learned from Jan 6, right?
	You've got to say it up front in case some of your people get a little nuts and attempt to coup.
	Yeah, there's two trapdoors already.
	Guys, everybody here is going to heaven.
	Second, anyone that makes us look bad is a fed.
	Yep. Immediately.
	Oh dear.
	Okay, so next Brett addresses a question I had about this event.
	something I'd been thinking about before expounding on the Founding Fathers and his perspective seems a little bit off.
	Now some of you are no doubt thinking there's something odd about a mission to rescue the Republic that includes many speakers from abroad.
	But this is actually a testament to the achievement of the Founding Generation.
	Our Founding Fathers almost accidentally invented the modern West.
	They did it because they had to balance the tensions between the various colonies in order to persuade them to confederate.
	The careful job that they did balancing the various concerns created a prototype for a world that was not rigged in anybody's direction.
	Obviously, they didn't complete the job.
	The three-fifths compromise stands as a black mark on our record.
	But they did articulate the objective and create a process that, as long as the fundamentals are left intact, corrects itself over time.
	The founders innovated a system that was effectively a commitment to a level playing field.
	A complete departure from the world that preceded it.
	A world dominated by lineage against lineage conflict, navigated by threats and force.
	You say this with a Kennedy on your stage.
	Even if the objective remains distant, turns out to be lightning in a bottle.
	And the closer you get to that goal, the greater the returns.
	The world the West emerged from was dominated by considerations of race, ethnicity, and religion.
	Those parameters dominated the question of who you could collaborate with.
	Under such rules, people can only be so productive because the most potential collaborators are out of bounds.
	On a level playing field, where the entire society is bound by rules that favor no population over any other, productivity skyrockets.
	If everyone is free to collaborate across demographic lines, more wealth is created because more innovation happens and more productive work gets done.
	Teamwork is everything.
	But communism is evil.
	The more choices you have when assembling your team, the greater the heights you can achieve.
	It is also true that it's simply a more meaningful and rewarding life when you abandon bigotry.
	It's like giving your entire civilization a massive raise in the currency of brotherhood.
	Oh my gosh.
	See, I don't know what you can see here, but I see some angry looking bigots.
	Whites?
	Some angry.
	We're looking at the audience right now and the frame shifted from the speaker to the audience and a bunch of white guys being like, yeah, and a couple of a smattering of white ladies.
	None of them look particularly happy about the whole anti-bigotry thing.
	Not getting a big response. No, no.
	So the mythology that Brett Weinstein is trying to perpetrate here is that the Founding Fathers wanted a level playing field for everyone to abandon bigotry and for everyone of all races and genders to work together equally.
	Uh-huh. The Founding Fathers were almost uniformly racist, albeit with Hamilton being slightly less racist than the others.
	Almost all of them were slave owners, and one of the reasons they all hated Aaron Burr was because Burr believed that women were equal to men.
	The founding fathers were racist, misogynist white aristocrats who set up a system to ensure that white aristocrats would stay in power to the extent that only white landowners were allowed to vote for quite a long time.
	We also didn't seem to think much of the whole teamwork is everything idea that Brett is trying to advance.
	Or at least not with the Native Americans, you know, those people who were brown and of a different religious persuasion.
	Because the Founding Fathers murdered most of them, with George Washington himself doing just a terrific job of that, and that's without even getting to, like, Andrew Jackson and the Trail of Tears and all of that.
	This is just revisionist bullshit, top to bottom.
	Well, even abolitionists at that time weren't necessarily not racist.
	No, they still were.
	I'd say the majority of abolitionists were still like, so basically the founding, I'm just hearing what he's saying.
	It's like anything that had to do with the abolitionist slavery, they're basically like, nah, they can't keep this going.
	They being the Founding Fathers, they're the ultimate kick-the-can-down-the-road guys.
	They never wanted the buck to stop with them, and that's how they wrote everything.
	They wanted to...
	It makes too many people mad.
	I don't want to tell them to stop.
	So... Yeah, we're gonna let some other wealthy whites deal with this.
	He's like, yeah, I think that we can just, well, no, genuinely, like, the kind of expense, like, there was a degree to where, like, technology wasn't keeping up with the expense of slavery, so the Founding Fathers were like, oh, it'll...
	It'll peter out.
	It'll figure itself out.
	Well, it's just... Because there was kind of this trend, but then, like, technology changed everything and, you know, and then gave this, like, shot in the arm to chattel slavery that made...
	You can't just...
	Close your eyes and wish something away.
	That's not responsible governance.
	You have to actually like address it.
	And I would say there was a lot of miserable cowards in that room that people are acting like they were these magically divinely appointed geniuses.
	No, they were people.
	Yep, pretty much.
	Exactly that.
	Yeah, so in the interest of fairness, I'm going to let him expand his perspective on this a little bit.
	So we'll hear a little bit more.
	Now, am I saying that the United States is a level playing field?
	Of course not.
	And it was especially unfair to black Americans and Native Americans from its inception.
	But I am saying that the founders envisioned a republic of free people based on the idea that all men were created equal.
	Still aren't.
	No.
	I am also saying that we have moved rapidly in the direction of that vision over time and prospered mightily with every step we have taken toward it.
	And the obvious productivity and dynamism of our nation that aims to liberate individuals by distributing opportunity as evenly as possible is contagious.
	What succeeded in America caught on and it spread across the world because those who saw what it could do wish to duplicate that magic.
	People want to live in the West no matter where they reside.
	The West is not a list of nations.
	It's not a geographic description.
	It's an ideal, the level playing field, and a set of agreements that point toward it.
	And therein lies the rub.
	The agreements are fragile.
	There is progress and backsliding in every society that has joined the experiment.
	And the West is, at this moment, in grave danger.
	Some force that wishes to rig the world has clearly taken hold and targeted these agreements everywhere they have been embraced.
	Some force. Wow!
	Hey, ADL, are you mad about this?
	In societies with weak constitutions, civil liberties have already given way.
	In the United States, we have one of the strongest constitutions anywhere, and so our descent into tyranny is slower, but there is no time to lose.
	We have to regain control of our system and return to the Founders' vision or we will soon find the opportunity has slipped away.
	We must rescue the Republic to save the West.
	Hmm, okay.
	Return to the Founder's Vision.
	Not sure about that one, given I just highlighted what the vision was.
	Not thrilled, not thrilled.
	But okay, okay.
	Yeah, you absolutely picked up on the dog whistles coming up there, the anti-Semitic, you know, this is an invisible thing.
	Yeah, Brett Weinstein is one of the kind of great reset, great replacement-y kind of guys.
	Frequently traffics in those kind of narratives.
	The phrases I would like to highlight here are, people want to live in the West no matter where they reside.
	The West is at this moment in grave danger.
	We have to regain control of our system, and we must rescue the Republic to save the West.
	Now, Brett was purposefully pussyfooting around the definition of what the West is, but when you speak to the alt-right about the West, what they uniformly mean is the White West.
	The likes of Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson have used the West and Weston as a white supremacist dog whistle for decades now.
	It is not new. And I get the distinct feeling that Brett possibly actually wanted to call this event Rescue the West, but couldn't because it's obviously too racially charged to his audience.
	I think maybe that's the thing that Russell learned that that's the name of the event.
	It was probably on the packet that you get for the event, and that's why Russell said it.
	Oh, well now we have some evidence, I feel.
	Okay, yeah.
	It was a last-minute adjustment.
	Oh my god. Yeah, yeah.
	He's very...
	A lot of talk about the West.
	It's also dog-whistly alarmist bullshit designed to create urgency and fear, not only of people who aren't Western, but also of this invisible force controlling everything, which he likes to call Goliath.
	He likes to call it Goliath.
	That's his name for it.
	Instead of the globalists, it's Goliath, because everything has to be a Bible story.
	That makes no sense!
	Well, he goes on to say that the alt-right, you know, those people there, they're David, you know, and they're gonna take Goliath down, right?
	He also then invokes the mythology of the Phoenix, saying that the West can be reborn like a Phoenix, which leads us to the tail end of his speech here.
	We have every single person you could possibly want on our side.
	We have all the courage, all the integrity, and all the know-how.
	The question is how to drive Goliath out and infuse all that talent and insight back into the system so it can be renewed.
	In 1787, Ben Franklin was asked if the Constitutional Convention had produced a monarchy or a republic, and Franklin famously replied, a republic if you can keep it.
	Today, David and the Unity Movement face a similar question.
	What we must deliver is a republic if we can phoenix it.
	I have learned from decades of study of human nature that important concepts emerge independently again and again.
	And so, in closing, I ask you to think about the job we must do to Phoenix our Republic, the daunting obstacle in our path, Goliath, and the unity movement we bring to the battle, David.
	It is for such moments that the Hopi elders tell us we are the ones we've been waiting for.
	Boo! Okay, the job we must do to phoenix our republic.
	Again, not a verb. Now, I want to point something out within his narrative here.
	He said that the West is at this moment in grave danger, but that means it hasn't been destroyed, right?
	It still exists, it's just in danger.
	The whole point of a phoenix is that it must be entirely destroyed and turned to ash before it can be reborn.
	So when he asks the crowd to consider how to phoenix the Republic, that raised an eyebrow for me.
	I was like, hang on a second, because the inherent implication is that the Republic must be burned to the ground before it can be reborn.
	And I'm not thrilled about that rhetoric.
	Like, oh, okay.
	Yeah, that's kind of been their whole deal.
	Yeah, it feels that way, doesn't it?
	The thing that they really love, they also hate and want to destroy.
	I mean, this is fucking, this is stupid, dude.
	This is, that's a series of like stupid, the smart guys, you know.
	Yeah, that's a lot of Brett Weinstein.
	He's been on Russell's show a couple of times, and I find him uniformly very boring.
	But I wanted to give him, because it's his event, I'm like, you know what, let's give him the space to say the things he feels.
	If this is his party, I want to know his thesis statement, for sure.
	It's just so absurd.
	And yeah, I mean, it's not just ahistorical, it doesn't make any sense.
	Yeah, because it's just kind of like creating a victim.
	It's such an interesting, delicate dance to create, to make this victim narrative, this oppressed victim narrative, but still you're the most awesome people in the most awesome country on Earth.
	The notion that he would call the West David and not Goliath, Is, like, that's, like, blowing my fucking mind.
	Because the news don't even, like, Fox News don't even do that.
	No one does that.
	That's never been an understanding of the way that, like, U.S. foreign policy, like, the way the U.S. operates.
	He also, I think it was interesting that he said, like, the West isn't a plight.
	Like, he didn't want to delineate who the West is.
	He didn't want to hem in the idea or solidify.
	Each individual speaker can fill in their mind who they think is on their side.
	But also, that means that if you are not, like the West isn't a place, it's an idea, then if you aren't exhibiting the ideas as decided by question mark group of West, who is West deciders, then you can be kicked out.
	Like it's a club that you can either gain or lose membership from, which sounds like either allies or an axis depending on your point of view.
	As far as a coalition goes.
	Pretty much. It's fucking crazy.
	It's fucking crazy.
	And very, very useful.
	Very, very useful. Yeah, and it is clever to make sure not to kind of delineate specifically where the West is, because, yeah, I'm willing to bet, like, he's not talking about Mexico here.
	Mexico's definitely the West in my mind, but that's not what he's talking about.
	I don't feel like any of these people are thinking about the Mexicans, you know?
	Yeah. I mean, I think, like, European world powers, that's what, like, that's the definition in my mind that I think of, that, like, that's what they're talking about.
	America and Central Europe.
	Yeah. Yeah, the rich white countries.
	Yeah. On Canada, right?
	When Canada's acting right, right?
	When Canada's adhering to the program.
	Yes. We just lose the time.
	Like, because it's oil companies in a Canadian trench coat.
	But, like, you know what I mean?
	Like, that's, okay.
	It can include parts, like, some?
	Russia, question mark?
	Because that wasn't ever a thing for conservatives.
	Ever. And now, depends on the day.
	Right? Like, Yeah, yeah.
	For these people, maybe you can include fully not what has ever been considered the West, but spiritually, if you, I don't know, are really stoked on dictatorial authoritarian control, then you get to be in the club.
	Shitty club. Shitty club.
	Doesn't seem great. Doesn't seem great.
	So yeah, Brett Wines, obviously this is his show.
	It's his party. But I would say he's one side of the coin and the other side is RFK Jr.
	And those are the kind of...
	This is one half of the kind of rhetoric that's dominating the event.
	And RFK Jr. and his ilk kind of occupy the other.
	We will get to in a little bit.
	So next we have a comedian on for a brief clip.
	I just got a little clip of him.
	A guy by the name of Tyler Fisher, who's been on Rogan, Gutfeld, and Kill Tony.
	And he has also been in...
	He's been in the Daily Wire's Terror on the Prairie, and he was in Lady Ballers as well.
	Real great dude.
	He's gonna give us a brief Trump impression, and I'm mostly playing it because it's the first good look we get at the size of the crowd, really.
	Okay. Then you got Trump.
	Trump does the polar opposite.
	Trump will kind of start out quiet and then scream at the end of the speech, right?
	So, look at this crowd here in Washington.
	Probably a billion people, they say, could be a billion, right?
	Could be a trillion, maybe a trillion, right?
	See, I like that clip because although he's a Trumper, he's essentially just being like, yeah, Trump's a liar who would exaggerate the size of this crowd completely.
	And yeah, yeah, absolutely he would.
	Well, they like that. They like that.
	Also, for listeners, he kind of looks like if Jeff Foxworthy and Giovanni Rubisi had a tiny baby.
	He's like, because he seems...
	Smaller, right? Yeah, yeah.
	That's fine. That's the issue of Anirabisi really kind of like chiming in, in that like genetic duo, I feel.
	He reminds me of, like, Gareth Reynolds with a bigger mustache and a mullet and the hat.
	You know, that's kind of what I see with him.
	But hey, we all see different things.
	So, looking at the crowd size, like, my most generous view of this crowd size is a maximum of around 5,000.
	And I feel generous with that, to be honest.
	Which is really interesting, given the size and scale of the lineup.
	Like, there are dozens of people here.
	Musicians, comedians, the whole thing.
	I'm like, that seems small.
	Yeah. For a free event as well.
	Kind of packed in.
	I would think that there'd be a little more room.
	Well, it's deceptive from this angle.
	If you see it from the back, you will see it from the back.
	You can kind of see more space between them.
	But yeah, from this angle, it looks very cramped.
	But yeah.
	Not that many, which, interesting, again, for a free event, right?
	You've got Jordan Peterson, you've got Russell Brand, you know, you've got RFK Jr., you've got all these big names, and yeah, okay.
	Hmm. Fascinating.
	Yeah, how the fuck is it free?
	Come on. Come on.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, that...
	That does come up. I don't think I've cut the clip in this part.
	It might be in the second part. But one of the organizers does come out like, hey, we really need your donations, everyone.
	You know, donate here. We haven't paid everyone yet.
	So, you know, we really, we really need you to cut.
	And I was like, oh, oh, oh no.
	That's not a good sign.
	Because, you know, I know 20 minutes of Russell's time for RFK Jr.'s event, the one he did in Vegas, that was like $70,000 or something.
	Jesus fucking Christ!
	That's too much money!
	Yeah, it is. Jordan Peterson's not cheap.
	Jordan Peterson doesn't come out cheap either, you know, and he does two sets here as well.
	He just looks cheap. Yeah, he does. But, yeah, so I'm like, oh, you haven't paid everyone yet?
	I feel like someone's going to be left holding the bag at the end of this, but we'll see.
	Well, but here's the thing.
	Genuinely, it's like, that is, because I get 10, Um, political, like, campaign texts a day, minimum now, or anytime I touch my phone.
	Um, so, I think one of the only, like, and this is, you know, this is an Infowars legacy.
	This is, like, a regular, you know, this is classic scammer shit.
	It's like the agency that these people are given because the government is corrupt.
	I mean, they're having a hard time even getting these people to take voting seriously and actually go vote because they've undermined the voting system in America so heavily.
	Yeah. Another fucking shooting yourself straight in the foot.
	Why would they vote if their vote doesn't matter anyway?
	That's the thing you're telling them that no matter what, it's going to be stolen, so it doesn't matter what the numbers are.
	It's the same with the COVID thing.
	It's like, oh, let's just kill off half of our base, you know, the elderly.
	Oh, yeah. Well, yeah.
	I mean, but yeah, yes, exactly.
	Yeah, like, what are you people doing?
	But like, one of the few points of agency they are given is to donate or, which, I mean, this is both sides to a degree.
	Like, think, you know, it makes you feel like you're contributing and you're doing something really good if you're donating money.
	That's just a call to action that could be very effective for someone who's easily tricked.
	To me, saying that not everybody got paid yet, and it's also not saying who didn't get paid yet.
	So maybe the guy that you showed up that you really like is the one that's not getting paid, so your support will help make this happen.
	Your support is making this event happen.
	Which is clearly already not true.
	And I'm sorry, none of them...
	Well, you know what?
	I don't know. I don't know if they would speak and then wait for the check.
	I don't know if that's necessarily how it goes.
	Yeah, it's a weird dynamic because...
	At one point, one of the organizers came out and was like, hey, I've told Jordan Peterson and Russell Brand not to come out until we've raised another $100,000.
	So, you know, get on it, and they're going to stay there until we've raised another $100,000.
	So this is a telethon?
	This is a PBS fundraising telethon?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, there's a degree of that, yeah.
	Yeah. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
	Now, alright, I'm getting a whole different picture.
	Because if we're doing our PBS annual fundraiser, then there, and that's what the live stream, like, if you were on the live stream, I bet you could hit a QR code and then donate somewhere?
	Is that what was going on?
	They keep flashing one up every now and then.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, they'd have to take everything down and edit that out to make it look good.
	Yeah, okay. So we're doing viewers like you.
	That's what this actually is.
	Well, they've left those bits up in the full thing of the stream that's gone up on Rumble.
	Never mind. Yeah, they're fine with looking like that.
	It's not the choice I would make, but hey.
	Okay, okay, okay, sure.
	The whole thing is very weird.
	And speaking of weird, we have someone who was a late addition to Rescue the Republic, and that is Geordie Peets, Jordan Peterson, the know-nothing pretend academic.
	We've tackled him a couple of times already, so rather than focus on him too much, because also he does come back later, what I do want to do is play one longer clip from his 20-minute monologue, and we're going to play a little game of Track the Thought and try and hold on to what the fuck he's actually saying.
	All right, let's do it.
	In fact, what a story is, a story appears to be something like the description of the value structure through which we look at the world.
	And you know, people are very attracted to stories.
	We're trying to get our stories straight here today.
	We're trying to get the story of the country and the West straight.
	Stories matter!
	So it turns out that literary critics matter because they assess and analyze stories.
	And if they do that badly or in an ideologically biased manner, it turns out to matter far more than anybody might think.
	The personal grievance that I'm preparing for right now.
	Many of whom were French intellectuals, a particularly reprehensible breed of intellectual in my estimation.
	The thing about the French intellectuals is that they've figured out That we see the world through a story.
	That that was technically true.
	And that's a revolutionary idea.
	You know, the more scientific types, you know, you heard the doctrine, the dogma, follow the science.
	It's like science isn't something you follow.
	Science is a set of facts or a process for investigating facts.
	Science isn't something you follow.
	A story is something that you follow.
	A story is something that guides you.
	And so it matters that you know what a story is, that it's the structure that you inhabit that organizes your psychology and unites us socially.
	It matters that you know that.
	And it also matters what the story is.
	The postmodernists weren't reprehensible because they figured out that we lived in a story, that even scientists lived in a story.
	The postmodernists were reprehensible, and this was particularly true in the case of France, was because once they figured out that we lived in a story, which was a mystery, what story?
	What is the story?
	What should it be? They jumped to a premature conclusion.
	And the premature conclusion that they jumped to being leftist intellectuals was that the proclamation of the Marxists that the story we live by is one of power was true.
	So first, they concluded that we lived in a story.
	Fair enough, that happens to be the case.
	Second, they concluded, without sufficient analysis, that the story that human beings live in is one of power.
	Now this is a very pathological conclusion, but what we'll do first is give it its due.
	When individuals and societies become corrupt, their story becomes one of power.
	But that doesn't mean that the fundamental story is one of power.
	That's a completely different claim.
	You can understand that if your relationship with you yourself deteriorates, that you become a tyrant to yourself.
	And you can understand that if your marriage deteriorates, you become a tyrant to your husband or your wife.
	The same applies to your children and a family.
	The same might apply to your employees and your broader community.
	If you are walking off the straight narrow path, you can become a tyrannical power monger.
	And the Marxist criticism has always been something like that, you know, that the economic system is based on oppression, that the fundamental relationship between man and woman is one of oppressor and oppression, that the familial relationship between parents and children is best construed as a power dynamic, that the capitalist system itself is corrupt because it's tyrannical and predicated on, what would you say, patriarchal exploitation.
	You can explain the whole bloody world on the basis of power, but Yeah, end of thought.
	But that's not a good thing to do if it's not the story that does run people who are aiming properly upward.
	And it's not the proper story at all if you understand that once you accept the doctrine that only power rules, that that enables you to use nothing but power.
	I reject your premise, sir.
	Wow. Okay.
	So, we all live in a story.
	Not sure I agree with that, to be honest.
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	Storytelling is literally the oldest form of...
	Like, to say that someone discovered or understood stories, how they relate to human beings.
	Storytelling is literally intrinsic and inherent to humans as a species.
	It is the oldest way of living.
	It's one of the oldest and most crucial elements of community.
	For our species.
	Anyone discovering that?
	Citations desperately needed as to what the fuck you're talking about.
	It was the French intellectuals who discovered it, apparently, who were leftist, and that's why they were reprehensible.
	And the Marxists were also awful, because they argued that the entire world is made up of power systems and the oppressed and the oppressor.
	You can become a tyrant to yourself.
	I love that if you don't say which philosopher you're talking about or intellectual you're talking about and you just say French intellectuals and just like just casting that wide net if you say like oh well who said what that you're talking about no matter what he has an out because like not that one I'm talking about a different one.
	Yeah. And even like, oh, well, no, not that specific quote, but the vibe they collectively were, famously, philosophers and artists and creatives get along fucking great and agree on everything.
	So, like, you can quantify this idea.
	Especially on the left. There's no fighting on the left.
	No, no. It is such a broad get out of jail free card that in my mind I'm like, I'm throwing you away.
	I'm already done.
	I'm done immediately.
	Yeah, and anyone who describes this man as being intelligent and a great communicator, I'm like, who the fuck are you listening to?
	Because it's not this guy. I mean, he's a communicator.
	He's saying words.
	Ability to communicate to people and manipulate them.
	Yeah, he's fucking great at it.
	That's why he gets to wear these goofy suits.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	He's good at throwing a message without kind of saying what it is.
	He's good with the dog whistles, I'll say that.
	Okay, so you can become a tyrant to yourself and others through these power dynamics that the Marxists spoke about, right?
	The Marxists argue that capitalism is inherently corrupt, tyrannical, oppressive, and patriarchal, but they're wrong.
	Because the people who are aiming properly upwards, to use Jordan's own words, with their story, aiming properly upwards with their story can supposedly exist within the capitalist system without becoming a tyrant or oppressive or patriarchal.
	And even worse, right, because the Marxists believe that, supposedly, believe that everything comes down to a power dynamic of the oppressed and the oppressor, that is the only thing they're able to use, and so actually the Marxists are the ones oppressing everyone!
	And capitalism is fine.
	Fuck me. Even capitalism says that capitalism is exploitative and oppressive.
	That's why capitalism needs the device, and it's the get out of jail free, but it's the device of the free market to control for...
	Capitalism acknowledges and inherently says that there needs to be a counterbalance to the amount of accumulation of wealth and power through exploitation.
	That's like, capitalism says it too.
	Keynes, the father of modern capitalism, arguably said that it's terrible.
	He said, it's the extraordinary belief that somehow the nastiest of men for the nastiest of reasons will somehow work to the benefit of us all.
	That's, you know? And that's the guy who wrote the book on capitalism.
	But I'm saying, like, a rosier view of capitalism still needs checks and bets.
	Like, it's still... Says that it needs checks and balances to operate.
	I mean, also, we have found that that's the case.
	And that, yeah, unequal distribution of wealth and power is what gets us where we are.
	And there's a lot of cheating that people just don't like to talk about.
	But yeah, that capitalism also...
	That's the thing, is like, capitalism also says it.
	It's not like...
	It's...
	Yeah, yeah, no, completely right.
	So he spends 20 minutes basically arguing that capitalism is good and that the patriarchy is fine as well.
	That's what he spends his 20 minutes doing.
	But cool, cool. Thanks, Jordan.
	Appreciate your time. Okay.
	On to the next one.
	Done, done, on to the next. We have a guy called Chris Martinson, who is here to talk to us about the economy.
	Fake name. Looking at a Coldplay album and thought of a fake name.
	Wow, wow.
	It is such an honor to be here, and thank you everybody for coming out, and thank you for being part of this.
	If this is the punch bowl, I'm the guy with the turds, okay?
	So I have to talk about How many people here share the belief that I have that maybe our country's in a little bit of a financial predicament?
	Yeah, who's heard of the Great Reset?
	I've just noticed they've spelled independent wrong on the little banner across the bottom.
	I just wanted to point that out.
	Pen dance! Pen dance!
	It says pen dance!
	He's an independent economist.
	And, yeah, they've also, like, frequently got, like, people's websites URLs wrong as well.
	Like, I tried looking a couple of them up, but I couldn't find them.
	It's because they've gotten them wrong. So, yeah, it's just top quality work.
	Anyway, let's hear from Chris Munson.
	Yeah, I love this crowd.
	I love this crowd. So, here's where we're at.
	You know, about a year ago, Evie and I were at lunch.
	Actually, you know what, let's wind that back just a second, because he did mention the Great Reset there.
	Let's get the full picture.
	Maybe our country's in a little bit of a financial predicament.
	Yeah, who's heard of the Great Reset?
	Yeah, I love this crowd.
	I love this crowd. So here's where we're at.
	You know, about a year ago, Evie and I were at lunch, and we were invited to a private lunch with R.F.K. Jr., and I had a chance to ask a question.
	I said, hey, I got all familiar.
	I don't usually get starstruck, but man, he has some charisma.
	You know, he really does.
	And I said, hey, Bobby, can I say that?
	Mr. Kennedy, if you had one platform you could run on, just one, one plank, what would it be?
	And he said, CBDCs, Central Bank Digital Currencies.
	And I asked why, and of course he had this big beautiful long involved thing that started with free market capitalism.
	He came forward with this idea that once we have CBDCs, we are entirely out of our freedom.
	It's gone. And our country is gone.
	Oh dear. Oh dear, that's a drastic perspective.
	So as soon as there is any form of cryptocurrency that's backed up by a central government or bank and is actually insured and protects consumers, that spells the end of the world as we know it, according to this guy.
	And RFK Jr, supposedly.
	Weird! Like, given that these people, Chris Martinson and RFK Jr., are really into Bitcoin and the more predatory forms of digital currency that often completely fuck over the consumer.
	That's what I was like, you mean Bitcoin?
	I thought you guys liked Bitcoin.
	They love Bitcoin. Love Bitcoin.
	They just don't want it to be regulated or insured or backed by anyone.
	That's what they're complaining about.
	Oh! And if that happens, if it gets backed up and regulated and there's a central bank competitor, it's the end of the United States!
	Like... Okay.
	Who is out there stealing RFK Jr.'s Bitcoin right now?
	Honey, love you.
	Mean it. Truly.
	I mean, listen, they don't want to be protected or regulated.
	It's like putting a target on your...
	Come on!
	But like, the thing is, is they don't...
	They're saying it.
	They're not doing it.
	Because they have their money in fucking bank accounts.
	Like adults. One of the few adult things I would imagine that RFK Jr.
	is even capable of.
	Hedge funds and all this other shit.
	Yeah, yeah, exactly.
	I would be curious to know his personal financial situation with Bitcoin.
	I know, you know, he went to the Bitcoin event a couple of months ago and spoke there.
	I know he's been paid by Bitcoin, as has Russell.
	Russell was at that same event.
	But yeah, I don't know.
	Very interesting that they just don't want a regulated version of the same thing.
	Do they also just not know about PayPal?
	What is different between banking online, digital money transfer, and what they're talking about?
	What is the difference?
	I guess blockchain?
	Is that the only difference?
	It might be. I'm not an expert in the field, but that would be my guess.
	And that's essentially security, right?
	Is the blockchain.
	I'm sure they're using some kind of...
	So they want to be able to track it.
	Through the blockchain, but they don't want government regulation or insurance or scrutiny in any way.
	I don't know if Bitcoin is actually blockchain-operated or not.
	I know CBDCs would be.
	I don't know if Bitcoin is.
	Maybe. And I get the feeling that it is perhaps not, given that that's the manner in which Alex Jones was paid like a million dollars out of the blue.
	Yeah, that's...
	You can anonymously, like, don't they want anonymity?
	Like, I don't understand, but for real, like, what is the difference between just using your bank app and, like, what they're...
	and and like the cbdc thing that they're talking about what the is the difference what the is the difference so their version won't have the blockchain side of it the cbdc's would and would be backed up by the government and insured um and then as as for like functionally how it differs to you and me actually in the world using it it won't like you know it's not gonna make a blind bit of difference to the consumer i don't think I'm just saying,
	what is the structure that they are warning about that will show up that isn't already here?
	Now, I do have a very specific feeling.
	There is a feeling that somebody else expressed on Subway takes, this dude laid down this just dropped truth bomb that digitizing currency protects the wealthy because we can't just show up and take it all back.
	Yeah. It's not in a building where we can take it back or burn it down or whatever.
	So the incitement, any kind of revolutionary thinking or organizing or being able to fight back against money and power, that ability is taken away from most of us, not all.
	If someone can still hack into it or whatever, I guess, maybe.
	I don't know, work on that.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Basically, the fact that there isn't physical wealth that can be...
	I mean, you can steal stuff and sell it or whatever, but that's not the same as just showing up and taking it or burning it down.
	or destroying it to destroy someone's like power, like power base.
	And it has really like interfered with our ability to kind of like conceive of and, um, organize around like a better world because we don't have the same kind of like objects to focus on that we had a hundred years ago.
	So, and we're learning a lot of revolutionary stuff from people that could still just go take, like seizing the means of production was a physical thing you could do.
	And so now a lot of that is you can't do that anymore.
	And it's really undermined the ability of like regular people to kind of conceive of the, I, a revolutionary idea or like, you know, having access and, I don't see what is any fucking different for what he's warning about versus what PayPal has been.
	Like, what's different?
	Does he explain what's different?
	Or is it just... It sounds like it's just fear-mongering.
	Like... That's a lot of it, because a lot of the kind of narratives around CBDCs in general are that, oh, they're going to bring in these CBDCs and then they're going to eliminate physical currency completely, which no bank has any plans of doing, no government has any plans of doing at all.
	That's not on the cards, but that's the narrative that they're spinning, that they'll bring in, and so it'll be just CBDCs that'll be available.
	It'll all be trackable via blockchain, which they don't like.
	And also they're going to tie it to a social credit score that's going to come in.
	And they're going to, you know, do all this other tyrannical shit.
	You mean a credit score that we already have?
	Yeah, right. So there are places that will only take cash?
	Like businesses, right?
	Yeah. Especially in a city.
	There's plenty of places that just, like, don't take cash anymore at all.
	That's a business choice. If anything, it's gonna be phased out, which I'm not...
	It's not fucking cool.
	Not cool. Like, there's, like...
	It shouldn't... It's legal.
	Like, money is legal tender.
	I don't think that's legal.
	But... I mean... Yeah, yeah.
	I would say, like, there's no government plans anyway to get rid of this kind of stuff.
	As for what businesses do on their own terms, it's very difficult to...
	But that's what these people react to because they think that the government is in charge of their, like, getting shadow banned on Twitter when it's a corporation.
	So they don't necessarily delineate between the two things.
	They don't understand price gouging versus inflation.
	They don't decipher between the two.
	So, like... Yeah. So there's places that are cash only, and there's places that are no cash.
	It's a little infuriating.
	Agreed there, yeah.
	And very often you don't get to know until you walk up and you're like, okay.
	So that's...
	Yeah, it feels like not only a fundamental misrepresentation of how these developments happen in society, because if we get rid of currency, it's because businesses don't want to take it anymore.
	And we'll lobby for that.
	And yeah, I don't think that's great.
	I don't like knowing where every...
	I don't like... Paper trail that has way more of my personal information than it ever would need to or should on every single purchase I make.
	Especially if you're thinking about paying for abortifacients or any kind of other reproductive healthcare.
	We should not be able to be tracked with every single purchase we make.
	Yeah, there are a lot of confins.
	I don't see the difference.
	Right, but I don't see the difference between what he's warning about and just money now already.
	So if it's a fake thing, if he's just riffing...
	Specifically, he doesn't want cryptocurrency as it is to be gotten rid of.
	And the idea is, if CBDCs come in, and obviously, you know, They're insured and consumer protected and everything else, then most people will kind of go over to those because it's going to be better for you, you know, as a consumer.
	And therefore, people will stop using Bitcoin and all of these unregulated, untrackable ones.
	And then, oh, the government's going to ban them.
	And so it won't be possible to use any of these things anymore.
	Yeah, it's...
	Okay, so he's just obfuscating for the sake of keeping Bitcoin unregulated as Yeah, the more I think about it, it's a defense of predatory capitalism and crimes.
	And crime money, you know?
	Yeah, crime money. Yeah, that's pretty much where I'm coming from.
	Dear, oh dear. Okay, so next we have a musical act that, well, I hadn't heard of before.
	And I wanted to give everyone, like, the full picture of the event.
	So we're going to play a little bit. The way I decided to go is I'm going to give each of the musicians a verse and a chorus of a song, right?
	It's the same amount that, like, an A&R person would listen to if judging a song.
	So I think that's fair. But I also did want to illustrate particularly some of the lyrics of the musicians that are going to be playing.
	And first up, we have a guy called Tennessee Jet.
	All right, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to keep the enthusiasm.
	How are you guys holding up, all right?
	It's Rob Schneider. All right, stay damp, everybody.
	All right, coming up right now is a terrific musician.
	Please welcome Tennessee Jet.
	So you can see from the back, there's a lot more space between these people.
	Yeah, it looks more like, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, gotcha.
	Roaring enthusiasm for Tennessee Jet here.
	Poor guy. Leather jacket.
	Aviators. Hat with a feather in it.
	Alright. Kids are overdosing on the Fenton Hall.
	The door is wide open at the border wall.
	D.C.'s busy selling out assault.
	Unless it's Ukraine, they ain't taking calls.
	Politicians whoring for the war machine.
	Laundering money in the name of peace.
	Dressing up Zelensky in army grain.
	Marching us to write off into World War III. How dare you dare to mention?
	How dare you believe your eyes?
	How dare you even question?
	Two plus two is five.
	Okay, um, I mean, songwriting's a little cliché, but otherwise fine.
	Lyrics, however, um, well, put it this way, I can see why he might not be getting overwhelming radio play.
	Um, it's real tough to rhyme fentanyl with border wall.
	Um, Or machine with peace.
	Now that was a choice. Throwing Zelensky in there.
	You know, I mean, that's like, it's not a great name to put in lyrics.
	It's making life harder for yourself, you know, especially if your only criticism of him is that he's dressed in army green.
	I mean, come on, you know, come on, Tennessee Jet.
	You can do better.
	I don't know that that's true.
	I think this is his best effort.
	Possibly, possibly. I think this is the best he can do.
	Also, if we're talking about A&R reps, I looked up his Instagram and he's got 16,000 followers and like, I mean, it's not enough for a rep to care about.
	Not enough juice for a label. Yeah, not enough juice for a label.
	Too low. Yeah, no, no, no.
	If you want to be on a label these days, you've got to be an influencer first.
	They'll give a shit about the music later.
	Or, yeah, or an influencer. Yeah, that first thing they ask is, what are your numbers?
	I mean, I didn't check TikTok.
	I didn't only check Instagram.
	But, yeah, no, that's not enough.
	Not enough to care.
	No, and I will say, like, musically, there is a, like, the setup is really strange throughout, because you have skillet opening, right?
	Heavy band.
	Only played one song.
	Okay, you want to open it with a bang.
	Okay, fine. And then they've got, like, yeah.
	That's weird. That's weird.
	What's the point of showing up? Most of these guys only play one song.
	I'm like, this is weird.
	Why? This is strange.
	Like, setting up all your bullshit? For one song?
	Carting it across the country?
	You know, all this? Because I doubt they've bothered to hire stuff locally, because that costs another fortune on its own.
	So they would have taken it all with them.
	I don't know, that might be easier.
	That might be easier. Easier, but more expensive.
	It depends how much they're all getting paid, I suppose.
	I imagine Tennessee Jet, possibly not much.
	And then, look, they've got, like, a couple of rappers, and then there's, like, acoustic stuff, and then, like, just the whole thing, in terms of, like, An event, in general, is set out really badly from start to finish.
	Like, just how to actually structure it.
	They've just kind of thrown speakers and comedians in randomly.
	They've thrown the musicians in, in seemingly a random order, right?
	Russell, when he comes on, is roughly in the middle of the event.
	Like, in the seven...
	And so, what inevitably ends up happening after that is the crowd just kind of leave.
	The big names are kind of in the middle section, and then everyone just fucks off.
	And I'm like, this is badly done.
	This is really badly done, you know?
	Yeah, they, like, didn't even follow the convention of headliners.
	Okay. Yeah, you put the biggest names.
	Like, for me, if I was organizing a musical event and, like, okay, say that everyone's on an equal playing field, like, none of these people know who any of the musicians are, It would be like, okay, you go light to heavy, for instance.
	You go lowest energy to highest energy, right?
	To really kind of build it to a crescendo.
	And if there is a big name, because Skillet were probably the biggest name on there, I think they were most prominently, you know, have them fucking headline, have it finish with a bang, you know?
	But nah, they came on first, played one song and left.
	The Order is not nearly as much of like, I'm not hung up on that nearly as much as one song.
	Not a set. One song.
	That is psychotic to me.
	That would never even occur to me that you probably already said it earlier in the episode and it was so foreign it did not register to my ears.
	That's bananas.
	I mean, so does Tennessee Jet also just sing one song?
	Or does he get a couple?
	Did he have a second one?
	I think he might have just been one.
	I think there is another acoustic guy that comes on later that has two, and a couple of the rappers have two.
	But yeah, and when bloody The Defiant come on, you know, Dickie Barrett of the Mighty Boss Tones, they only get one song as well.
	The Defiant only get one and then they have to go.
	I'm like, what is happening?
	What is this? Whereas the people who are solo get more than one.
	Well, I mean, whatever.
	I mean, that's just... Okay, so they're bumper music.
	But they have live, like, bumper music.
	That's crazy to me.
	The whole thing is just...
	It's so badly organized.
	I'm impressed, honestly.
	There's just... There's not even a consideration of any kind of logic of putting on an event.
	When it comes to this, it's remarkable.
	Well, I'm trying to, like, I'm trying to come from, like, a PBS, like, funds drive perspective, because that, to me, is like, if that's what this is supposed to be, then that's what it is.
	So it makes sense That you'd have, you'd televise one song, but that still isn't even what always happened.
	Yeah, and I mean even if you were to look at it in that format, like a bunch of their kind of big names they have in the middle in one chunk, And, like, if you're doing, like, a telethon situation, you want them spread out.
	You want them, like, Adam, we've got this person to look forward to, you know?
	Yeah, what time of day? Stamina.
	Stamina situation. Like, what is the running time, like, actual time of day that this happened?
	Do you know? It was, like, noon or nine or something?
	Yeah, so it went midday to 7pm.
	That's when it finished. Noon to 7.
	Yeah. Yes.
	It's not even that late.
	No, not at all. Why'd you put people...
	It was on a Sunday, so I imagine that affects things.
	But still, you know, it's like you can at least go out with a bang, you know.
	I don't know. Maybe they didn't want to rile anyone up too much so they didn't get another Jan 6 situation, you know.
	I don't know.
	Can't have anyone getting too excited.
	They might try a cool again.
	That's all, okay. That's weird.
	I mean, I guess back to, I'm just, I'm trying to just figure out, right?
	We're like figuring out what this even, what this even is.
	But yeah, Tennessee Jet, that's, sorry.
	Those lyrics are terrible. Stop.
	Knocked off. Not good.
	Not good. Goodbye, Tennessee Chat.
	Alright, so another one of the organizers comes out, Matt Toon, and he comes out to ask the crowd for money.
	And we get a rousing call and response from him before then.
	A pretty bizarre video plays, seemingly out of nowhere.
	Let me hear one thing. Freedom!
	Freedom! Ain't free!
	Freedom! Freedom!
	Take sacrifice!
	Take sacrifice! Freedom!
	Ain't free!
	Ain't free! Freedom!
	Freedom! Take sacrifice!
	Take sacrifice! Thank you for your sacrifice.
	God bless. Not sacrifice.
	Show up to a free event.
	Vladimir Putin issues a statement saying that President Harris never picked up our call.
	They sent her to negotiate peace before this war call.
	I want you to miss that bit. Vladimir Putin issues a statement saying that President Harris never picked up our call.
	They sent her to negotiate peace before this war started.
	Three days later, he went in and he started the war.
	I actually met with Zelensky.
	A few days before Russia invaded, I shared with him American intelligence.
	Because of the air defense, the ammunition, the artillery, the javelins, the Abrams tanks that we have provided, we understand the importance of the greatest military alliance the world has ever known, which is NATO. And now you have millions of people dead, and it's only getting worse, and it could lead to World War III. That is a war that's dying to be settled.
	I will get it settled before I even become president.
	If I win, when I'm president-elect...
	Very complicated puzzle, but we'll get it solved.
	So the imagery on the screen there, for anyone listening, was essentially the world blowing up.
	It was nuclear warfare, basically, going on.
	Format-wise, well, I mean, you know, largely pretty generic fear-mongering about World War III, right?
	I'm trying to paint Kamala Harris as a war hawk, specifically.
	The thing that really caught my ear was that opening line where they kind of insinuated this hypothetical future where President Putin calls then-President Harris—they called her President Harris— I'm like, oh, she didn't pick up the phone, and then the world explodes and ends, because clearly that's what Kamala Harris is wanting.
	So what they're doing, which is crazy, like, it was a little more, I don't know, you know, whenever we covered their debate stream, like Russell's debate stream with Neil Oliver, Neil Oliver kept saying, like, well, do it now. Like, you don't understand what a vice president does.
	And that was surprising and silly and shocking for me to hear.
	But also, we're like, okay, it makes sense.
	Genuinely, if you're from the UK and you already have no incentive to learn about real American politics and how it works, then you don't know that VPs don't relate.
	Do that much.
	This one might do more, but we still don't actually know what those...
	We don't really know where she stepped in where maybe Biden has not been able to do some things.
	And so that was an understandable potential misunderstanding.
	But then the debate happened and Trump was saying the same thing.
	And that seems like a talking point with conservatives is like, well, why didn't she already do it?
	Bitch, we already all know why.
	She's vice president, not president.
	And it felt to me like what I heard is that She was, I guess, in charge.
	Because also, they made a campaign, they being the Trump camp, made a campaign to campaign against Biden.
	They didn't expect, and I don't know that they're maybe super great at pivoting these talking points to Kamala Harris.
	So, like, they're just saying the same thing and hoping it sticks?
	That, like, she...
	Yeah. She caused all the same things...
	Right, that she's in charge.
	It's not the Biden administration, it's the Harris administration.
	Yes, it's current President Harris is the painting of it.
	And that's definitely the intention with the potential out at the front of it of like, oh no, we were painting a picture of the future under a Harris administration.
	I heard she didn't pick up the phone.
	So like, Putin called and she didn't pick up the phone, to me, implies that she could have stopped Ukraine and did not, because she didn't talk to Putin already.
	That's what I'm hearing, but I mean...
	Yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly.
	The whole thing is very much to kind of try and lay everything squarely at Kamala Harris' feet, which I'm like, that's just, I mean, it's not reality, but okay.
	As opposed to Trump? Really?
	The guy that was president?
	That all the other pieces fell into place for this to already happen?
	That's what's crazy to me.
	He's like, I would do this thing.
	I would do that thing. Like, bitch, you didn't already.
	You're the one who didn't already.
	And you wouldn't. It's interesting that.
	Is interesting.
	Yeah, also that little spot there was paid for by the Maha Alliance, the Make America Healthy Again Alliance, a super PAC whose CEO is none other than Del Bigtree, the guy who was RFK Jr.'s campaign manager until RFK Jr.
	dropped out to support Trump. The Maha Alliance website is purely dedicated to getting Trump elected.
	And yeah, Maha is a terrible name.
	My favorite reading of it internally is as read by Nelson from The Simpsons.
	You know, that's how I hear it in my head.
	Yeah, well, and it's Make America Healthy again.
	And so they're trying to do manga, but it's a serif font, so it's fancier.
	Sorry. Yeah. Right.
	Yes, exactly. Exactly.
	Really just badly done, guys.
	Badly done. All right.
	So next up, we have another familiar face, one former Colonel Douglas McGregor, who does thankfully keep his speech brief.
	Please welcome the CEO of our country, our choice, Colonel Douglas McGregor!
	I could bring a boxer into the room.
	Hey, this guy Rob Schneider is a real animal.
	If you haven't noticed, he is.
	Okay. Plug the content.
	I only have a short message for you.
	Good job. As you and I are meeting here today, thousands and thousands of soldiers from the regular army and the National Guard are deploying to the Middle East.
	They're preparing to fight a war against Iran, a country which has never attacked us, with whom we have no grief, no grievance.
	At the same time, we have a hundred plus thousand American soldiers lining the border of Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, all the way down to Romania, preparing to potentially fight Russia.
	This insanity is costing us not just trillions of dollars, it's destroying our country.
	How many trillions have we lost on this proposition?
	How many hospitals could we have built?
	How many schools could we have improved?
	How many roads and bridges could we have repaired?
	And how many Americans would be alive and well and safe today if we hadn't?
	In Ukraine?
	So what I want you to remember is a very simple formula.
	He's just saying tax dollars. War breeds tyranny, corruption, and destruction.
	Peace is the foundation for prosperity and goodwill around the world.
	That's what we need.
	No more wars.
	Controversial take.
	Now, before you leave here, remember, you got to go out and vote.
	And you need to vote for peace, not war.
	For prosperity, not poverty.
	Remember, the people that have put us into debt, they're not the ones who bear the burden.
	We are. The people that have put us into debt are fat and rich and corrupt.
	We gotta get rid of them.
	You've got to do that.
	Thank you. Alright, I said I'd keep it brief.
	So you can get rid of the fat, rich, corrupt people by voting one into power, I guess.
	I struggle to think of anyone fitting that description more than Donald Trump.
	You know? I'm like, okay.
	Yeah, he's a caricature of a fat cat.
	A New York real estate tycoon fat cat.
	Except he doesn't wear pinstripe suits.
	They're solid colors.
	That's the only difference I can discern.
	Yeah, and a monocle.
	Yes, yeah, 100%.
	But he would absolutely fit that.
	And yeah, I do also find it interesting how yet another of these cretins is invoking the idea of Well, how many hospitals and roads and schools could we have built with money spent on the Ukraine war when every single one of these people are uniformly against actually funding any of those things?
	Yeah. Especially in any way that is, like, public or state funded.
	Like, nah. Like, they're just uniformly against it.
	So, uh, fuck you, McGregor.
	It's really- Well, they realize that that line, you know, people actually really care about, so they're just- they've integrated their lie.
	Also, that video that we- the little promo video, the Maha kind of, like, AI fiesta that we watched.
	They had texts that show up on the screen that said, time to negotiate for peace.
	And he's like, no more wars.
	Is that the plan?
	Is that what Trump thinks that Trump is going to do?
	Is to negotiate peace?
	That's what they think is going to happen.
	But don't they also want to blow everybody up?
	Trump does. Yeah. Yeah.
	I think they do. Yeah.
	Well, yeah. Their clips were like, well, no, I mean, Trump kind of like The thing is, Trump knows that war is bad for business unless you're in a few very specific businesses of which he is not a part of.
	So war doesn't work out for him.
	War isn't good for real estate businesses except for a very...
	It's very...
	That's the few and not the many.
	And he's like, I can't get a piece of that.
	So I don't... He can say no war all he wants.
	And so...
	But to me, negotiating for peace...
	I don't hear Trump saying that.
	I don't hear their plan to negotiate for peace.
	There's a lot of plans out there that I hear from other sources all the time.
	Is there a concept of a plan?
	The only thing that Trump has said is that he'll pick up the phone and that he'll end it in one phone call.
	Yeah, that means nuking.
	Yeah, it means nuking or just, like, withdrawing all support from Ukraine, you know, and that kind of thing.
	And I will say, he said that about Ukraine specifically.
	He's been pretty fucking mum in comparison when it comes to Gaza, because he's broadly supportive of still...
	Sending arms in that direction.
	So I'm like, ha! Okay!
	Well, but he said that he would just end it in one phone call.
	He said that about Gaza as well, which means dropping a nuclear bomb.
	That there's no other, like...
	What's fucking magical to me is to listen to all these grown-ass adult men, like, fully...
	Fully, like, calling up WNBA players and saying, like, I could take her.
	Like, looking at WNBA and being like, give me a week, I get in shape, I could beat her up.
	Or I could beat her in this game.
	I could score a point on one of the Williams sisters.
	Like, sure thing.
	I bet you. Oh, yeah.
	It's that misogynistic, like, profoundly, like, idiotic baby brain idea.
	Right, right, right, right.
	Where, like, genuinely both, like, part of the reason that both sides of these issues are, like, as far as, like, Russia and Ukraine, as far as, and Israel making this decision to go into Gaza and this whole thing with Hamas, right?
	Like, um...
	I don't, you know, Israel thought it'd be a couple of days and they'd have it sussed.
	Both, like, the narrative that was sold to Ukraine and the idea from Russia saying, like, it'll take a week at most and this will be all settled.
	And that has been brain rot that like brain rot from fantasists that somehow get to be in charge of all the shit that happens think that they can like that oh well if I was there You know, it's like, oh, I could fight one bear.
	It's the same shit.
	Dude's thinking, oh, I could take a gorilla.
	I've lost a round with Muhammad Ali.
	I could last one round.
	Like, yeah, I could take a punch from Mike Tyson.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, those are other men.
	Those are other men.
	That's a little different. I could win a fight with Ronda Rousey, right?
	People thinking they could beat Ronda Rousey.
	I'm like, nah. Well, really commonly, there's a trope that's going around that has been making its rounds.
	And listen, before there was a lot of internet to speak of, this just happened in person, and I heard it come out of their fucking dipshit mouths, was like, oh, I could take one gorilla.
	I was like, I could fight a gorilla.
	You'd get your arms ripped off, Charles.
	I was just going to say...
	Your face would no longer be attached to your body.
	To me, what I hear is exactly the same idea that every single politician is that anything that's like, oh, if I was running this show, it'd be over in a week.
	No, it'd be another fucking forever war and you're an idiot.
	Yeah. Because you just think that because you would do it, it'd be different.
	And, oh, I would just drop nuclear bombs and it'd be fine.
	I would turn the place into a parking lot.
	They're trying to, and instead they made Stalingrad.
	What fucking cool ideas, you pack of fucking nitwits.
	It's amazing to me.
	Amazing to me. I have a Taskmaster-related anecdote.
	One of the episodes I just watched, one of the things they all have to do is see who can make the biggest splash, the tallest splash of water, and each of them would gain extra points if they could guess who would actually make the biggest splash.
	And all of them, except for Noel Fielding, said themselves.
	Pretty much. And they were all like, oh, it's me.
	I'll do it. I'll make the biggest splash.
	And who makes the biggest splash?
	Noel Fielding. But all of them had that same perspective of like, well, it's gotta be me, obviously.
	If I go in there, it's different.
	I'm gonna be fucking great.
	You know? And it's like, nope, nope.
	No, it was the crow that won.
	Do you know what I mean?
	this is even like the people that are supposed to be adults in the room the people that are supposed to be in charge and making sense and that includes us in america that includes like the way that you have the u.s has absolutely like um failed to deliver and what i like they promised to ukraine what they promised all over the fucking world with the
	and like they're already kind of like shifting their attention somewhere you know like they're trying to shift their attention away from israel like it's a whole like this stupid weird like this kind of just like hopping from fucking rock to rock and thinking that like just the hubristic kind of attitude that's like oh well if it was me i'd fucking fix everything in 24 hours and And that's just, there's no reason to believe that.
	So no one has an even decent plan.
	Or that shows me you don't understand what's happening.
	You shouldn't be allowed to make the decision.
	It was the classic thing of, like, anyone who wants to run the country should be banned from doing it.
	No one should be allowed to kind of want that position, because they are going to come in with that perspective of, oh, I can fix it.
	I can fix the world. You know, and I was trying to think of, like, have I heard much of that from Keir Starmer yet?
	And I'm like, not much, but there's enough.
	There's enough of, like...
	I'm gonna do this, and I'm gonna fix this thing.
	Nah, dude.
	Nah, you're fucking not. And I'm...
	Yeah, it's the same thing.
	You know, the people who want the presidency should be actively kept from it because of this narcissism and God complex that just...
	Well, it's because of the people that, I mean, if you want to do a job, like, the motives why, like, listen, if I could be put in charge of some shit in an afternoon, I would fix things and not in a way that's going to solve the problem today.
	Like, I think applying some fucking, like, just some real-world logic and reasoning of, like, how things actually work or...
	Listen to any and all of your analysts that have been screaming from the rooftops to stop doing it like this.
	I mean, it's a fucking, it's just, it's like, it is such a common cycle of totalitarian rule.
	To take the advice of the one crackpot in the room that says, actually, you're right, and we're going to do it super quick, super easy.
	No sweat. Boom, French Revolution, and heads rolled.
	It's the same shit!
	I'm so sick and fucking tired of it because it's so stupid.
	It's stupid. It's wasteful.
	It's dangerous.
	Obviously, like I don't want fairy tales running my country and the world.
	And I don't, I don't see anybody like that's in charge offering me an alternative.
	That isn't fucking wish casting.
	It's a problem full stop.
	I don't know how we got here.
	I think it's because everyone in charge won a popularity contest or compared bank accounts and then the biggest spenders win.
	This is like... People should want to run and govern because they have a heart for service and an aptitude and a skill set.
	That's reasonable. If those were the qualifications, we would not have the same problem.
	But those aren't the qualifications.
	No! No, and yeah, this whole thing doesn't seem to be going that great, huh?
	Stupid! Stupid!
	Speaking of people with this kind of perspective, we have another familiar face up next, which is Tulsi Gabbard, who wants to tell us a little bit about what she saw at the border wall when she went down there.
	We have some people from California here today.
	I went and visited your border in San Diego not that long ago to go and see for myself what was happening there.
	And what I saw was a well-oiled machine driven by the cartels and the so-called immigration industrial complex working directly with them and profiting off of this well-oiled machine.
	Open borders that have been enabled by Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, not to express their compassion as they say, but to exploit those who are coming across our border and being trafficked by this multi-billion dollar cartel industry.
	What I saw there We're people coming from all over the world, across the border, knowing exactly where to go.
	Not to evade Border Patrol, but to be picked up by Border Patrol.
	Waiting patiently to be loaded in the vans where Border Patrol have become nothing but Uber drivers for them.
	Where they are quickly processed through a system that often within 24 hours gets them with a free plane ticket to anywhere in the country.
	Often never to be heard from again.
	What? Often to be never heard from again.
	Okay. What the fuck is she talking about?
	Hi, Tulsi. Nice to see you again.
	All right. So, yeah, the Border Patrol are Uber drivers for illegal migrants who then catch a plane to anywhere they want inside the US, a free ticket, and then they're never heard from again, presumably because they're now inside the country, is the implication there.
	So, obviously, a little bit nonsensical.
	The idea that the immigration industrial complex is working with cartels to let people into the country willy-nilly, because that's where this is all stemming from.
	Oh, and you know what, before I forget, does fucking everything have to be an industrial complex these days?
	Like, I looked on the Rescue the Republic website as to, like, their main kind of points at jointheresistance.org.
	And they're against the military industrial complex, the medical industrial complex, the censorship industrial complex, the immigration industrial complex, the injustice industrial complex, supposedly which is against lawfare, the finance industrial complex, which I would think that's just the industry industrial complex, the developmental industrial complex...
	It says family sovereignty.
	I'm going to say vaccines.
	I think that's what that is.
	And the academic industrial complex.
	It's just fucking parody at this point.
	It really is. What else is family sovereignty going to be?
	Family sovereignty? Oh, I mean, that's part of...
	I'm not surprised to hear that at all.
	That's how they're defending abortion restrictions and all the female reproduction stuff.
	Project 25 makes it very clear.
	Developmental industrial complex.
	I'm like, that's a weird...
	Oh, there's childhood development.
	So that's a way to say that they're coming for education with developmental.
	Oh, right. Okay.
	Yeah, like early childhood development.
	And then I would imagine developmental.
	So like, yeah, because family sovereignty is for adult kids.
	Yeah, the academic industrial complex.
	So the developmental industrial complex, that'll be like, oh, we don't want, you know, sex education in our schools.
	We don't want anyone being taught that trans people exist.
	Right. Yeah, exactly that.
	Because to protect the quote-unquote nuclear family as being the hegemon for Western society structure.
	To rescue the West. Yes, right.
	Okay, yeah. More fairy tales.
	Yes, absolutely.
	Well, industrial complex, they knew it stuck.
	So like, because there is a move kind of like for, I don't remember the new acronym, but basically like because the military industrial complex, like which we should be concerned about, is still absolutely.
	But like there are more like research and development and academia.
	There's like kind of a and like diplomat sort of like I think the shittiest diplomacy I've ever seen.
	That's just my opinion.
	I have heard terms that are more kind of accurate than Just military and also complex because it doesn't really give you the full picture, but those are rational, like, good faith actors that are trying to better encompass this one idea.
	Yeah. That's not...
	But, I mean, the thing is, is, like, pointing that out has a lot of, like, that...
	They're testing marketing, so, like...
	That idea has stuck and people really don't like it.
	So yeah, they're just going to call everything an industrial complex.
	Everything is an industrial complex.
	DEI or Antifa or CRT, those are all demonized and completely disconnected from their meanings.
	So yeah, it's just a new thing.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So what I think Tulsi was kind of the nugget of truth within the bullshit that she was complaining about was the notion of any migrants or refugees actually getting processed, which is why some people are sent to airports elsewhere in the United States to be processed if they've got all their shit together and have done everything on the app and every fucking thing else.
	There's a whole bunch of like barriers to doing it anyway.
	But there are a few who have been, you know, sent to a place to be processed and have their immigration meeting and potentially be sent home, to be honest.
	It's processing their application.
	It's actually a good thing.
	It's a good thing. Yeah, and they could still be getting deported.
	Exactly, exactly.
	I bet a good chunk of them are, unfortunately.
	Anyway, so next she spins this conspiracy theory a little bit further.
	What I saw as I stood in a parking lot near a train station where many of these drop-offs occurred were human traffickers who were waiting.
	Women who were being drugged unknowingly.
	I'm sorry? And in their foggy state of mind being ushered into cars.
	Did you call the police? Never to be heard from again.
	Right? What I saw was CEOs of these so-called non-profits We're working directly with the cartels, with CEOs being paid over a million dollar salaries.
	All of this being done in the name of compassion.
	But who is the compassion for, really?
	Who really is benefiting?
	It is the cartels.
	It is the nonprofits that are making money off of these people being trafficked without a care for the over 325,000 children who are missing.
	Many of whom are likely being abused in our country today.
	Without a care for the over 425,000 convicted criminals who are in our country.
	Illegal immigrants.
	Not a care for those who are illegal immigrants.
	56,000 who have drug convictions.
	14,000 who've been convicted of burglary.
	13,000 convicted of homicide.
	Over 16,000 who've been convicted of assault.
	This is who they have compassion for.
	What about having compassion for the American people?
	Fuck you. Yeah, I have no idea where she's getting these numbers from, but I'd love to know.
	Yeah, that sounds...
	What? Very specific is my thing.
	That's specific numbers of like, who are the thieves?
	Did you look them up? Did you find anything?
	I couldn't find anything for those.
	I know the 300,000 children thing, that's the same thing that Tony Robbins was throwing around a few weeks ago.
	And what that turned out to be was ICE not doing its job, failing to serve those kids with notices to appear in court, and the kids getting lost in the system.
	Because there's no interagency communication process, and so no one quite knows where they are.
	Trump policy, right? We just lost a budget.
	Yes, bad fucking policy and bad funding.
	It's, yeah, just awful.
	But yeah, the rest of them, because I'm like, that's, among illegal migrants especially, you know, how do you know how many of them are supposedly thieves?
	You know, their specific crimes?
	Because the whole idea...
	of you know them being there illegally is the only way you would find that out is if you caught them and you know and they volunteered that information somehow right like yeah yeah i don't know this this whole the whole thing is pretty ludicrous she said she saw women at a train station being drugged and put into cars And she somehow divined what happened afterward.
	As she has said several times, like, there's no way you would know that unless you were telling me how you know that.
	Like, there's a way that you would know that and I need more information to believe you.
	If that's your claim, And also, if you didn't call the police immediately, you are an accessory to a crime.
	You witnessed a crime that's still, regardless of who you are, very illegal in America.
	And if you saw guys that weren't cops doing it, something bad might happen to them.
	If you saw cops doing it...
	That's, listen, and you call the cops and they don't do anything because it was cops doing it.
	Different speech!
	That's a different speech, Tulse.
	Yes, it would be. It would be.
	So yeah, supposedly CEOs of NGOs are working with cartels to drug women and children and traffic them into the country.
	That's the idea.
	And yeah, Tulsi saw all of it while she was down there in San Diego.
	She saw women being drugged and put into cars.
	And it is weird as well.
	In a parking lot near a gas station.
	Train station, I think it was.
	Weird how this is the first that we're hearing about it as well.
	Because, like, if that were me and I saw that, like, firstly, yes, immediately call the police.
	Secondly, film it.
	Thirdly, call every fucking news network in the country to shout about it.
	But none of that from Tulsi.
	This is the, yeah, okay.
	Yeah, you're a bad person if this is where you choose to tell that story for the first time.
	Unless it never happened.
	And I don't think it ever...
	But genuinely, at a border crossing, right?
	If you are not asking every single person and they have to tell you what is going on and why they are there, if you're just going and looking...
	You can make up anything because you have no idea what...
	She's creating a fiction that...
	It's the same thing whenever I went and worked at polls the last election, a bunch of people that were also poll working that day had never done it before.
	And to a person, every single one of them was like, Why are they saying it's easy to steal a vote?
	It's so hard.
	This is really tough. It's so hard.
	The picture that's being painted, it's the exact same thing of a border crossing.
	Nothing's easy about crossing the border.
	Nothing. Oh, no, absolutely not.
	No, Tulsi's just playing make-em-ups here.
	Yeah, she just lied a bunch.
	Yeah, yeah, and she got those numbers from somewhere, but that's, I would bet.
	I would eat my fucking hat if any of them are accurate.
	Yeah, was it a Tim Ballard fucking joint?
	Yes, right, exactly. And that's probably where those came from.
	Okay, we've got one more clip from Tulsi here.
	Whether it's the border or just about every other challenge and issue that's facing, not Republicans or Democrats, but all of us as Americans, it's clear that Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are not interested in solving problems.
	They're not interested in securing our border.
	They're not interested in truly reforming our broken legal immigration system.
	They are more interested in allowing people to illegally cross our borders, but will turn their backs on people like a close friend of mine who has served as a special forces soldier for over 30 years, who simply wanted to invite some of his family members who live in Italy to come who simply wanted to invite some of his family members who live in Italy to come to his retirement, who applied for a hmmm No.
	We need to send a strong message to them that we will not come last anymore.
	The American people and our country and our freedom must come first.
	What? There's a damn good reason if that's the case.
	Has she talked about this other places?
	Did you look it up? I did not, no.
	How could you not?
	Oh my god.
	Okay. All right. Yep, yeah, yeah.
	If there's more to it, we can follow up in part two.
	But I was fascinated with the logic that these people from Italy, right, couldn't get a tourist visa for the US to come and see their relative, who's a military vet, right?
	And that is somehow Joe Biden and Kamala Harris advancing a policy of America lust.
	Like, that's a fucking leap of logic, because I would bet my bottom dollar that those poor Italian people couldn't get in, um, either, well, either because there's an issue of some kind, or because of the...
	That's that! That!
	That's that. Or, like, like, the...
	The policies are there in general because of the fucking isolationist policies of the party that Tulsi Gabbard is now supporting.
	It's Republican anti-migrant rhetoric and legislation.
	If they are perfectly innocent, then it's that that's the cause.
	If they're not, which feels more likely...
	How is any of this Kamala Harris's fault?
	I'm like, fully. What did she do?
	Fully. Well, but like, that's the thing is like, if she had, if there was meat on that bone, she would have said, why?
	Like, okay, oh, are they journalists?
	You know, like, for example, right?
	Like, if you don't want to let someone in a country and you're denied a visa because you're journalists and you have a history of reporting in the area and the country decides to keep you out.
	That is corruption and it is indicative of a pattern of behavior that is problematic for a government to exhibit and to participate in.
	So if she's like, this is why the government said that they couldn't have that visa because let me tell you, I could go to Italy anytime I want.
	There's like, white American...
	Yeah. This is not an issue.
	Unless you forget to renew your fucking passport and you didn't make it in time.
	Or you didn't apply for a visa soon enough and it didn't get processed.
	That's the other weird bitch that I still manage to see because if you read reviews on the internet you know that people can be a little clueless about their own behavior and participation in a problem.
	But if it wasn't one of those things, then, like, if there was legit, like, it would bolster her point if she could say that there were spurious reasons that were unfounded and were trumped up by the government to keep these people out from this, like, I'm sorry, special ops guy?
	His family?
	Yeah. I dig that, like...
	That alarm bells across the red flag factory.
	So many red flags. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Dude, what?
	If you can find it, I'd be curious to know.
	I mean, it'd be smart of her not to give any more details because it sounds like...
	Yeah, she could also just be talking out of her arse as well.
	Also that! That is perfectly possible, you know?
	But yeah, it's a weird, weird story to try and present as some great takedown of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
	It's a terrible example.
	She could say, like, she could say, you know, like, she could say, like, an Eastern European, like, she could say Uzbekistan, whatever, like, somewhere where you expect kind of, like, corruption or something, but, like, I mean, different kind of corruption, Italy, whatever, but, like, it's practically Italy.
	There's quite a bit in Italy, but, yeah.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's, yeah, I don't know.
	Common vacation destination.
	Yeah, yeah. And reciprocally, They come here.
	Fucking Italy.
	Like, there had to be a reason if this happened.
	Exactly. One would assume.
	Yeah, if you can find it, I would be curious to know.
	But yeah, just whole thing bizarre up and down.
	Okay. What the shit?
	Like... Yeah, yeah.
	Oh man, I hope there's details somewhere, because that's crazy.
	That doesn't make any sense. Yeah, I hope so too.
	No, it completely does not.
	Okay, so next we have another musical act by the name of Zuby, who is a Christian alt-right rapper who doesn't swear, and he's been on Rogan as well.
	Called Zuby?
	Zuby, Z-U-B-Y, is a black man.
	I think he's British.
	I think he's from the UK, actually.
	But anyway, let's give it a look.
	It might sound different. How you guys doing out there?
	Make some noise! He's got an American accent, though.
	DJ, let's go! But he said he's from Britain, so...
	Okay, Washington, D.C. I need to put your hands up in there where I can see you.
	Let's go! Let's rock with me.
	We got Zuby in the building right now.
	Let's go! This is how we're gonna do it.
	Keep those hands up in the air.
	Y'all. Y'all. To the left.
	And to the right. And to the left.
	And to the right. I want a billion fans, so I need a million first.
	I'ma gain another doubt, just stop the sickness of this verse.
	Even when I'm smiling sweetly, looking to me as a threat.
	You get old before you see me like a doobie in FPS. No bugging combination lets you cheat the game of life.
	Rappers looking in my pad, they think I'm cheating on the mic.
	Well, this girl's my one and only.
	She never leaves me lonely.
	When I want to beat it down, she's always waiting to me.
	A friend of love like bigamy, so passionate with metrics.
	Bars cannot belittle me, that's Charlotte Santa.
	Spread the love like bigamy.
	Still happening?
	in my sleep.
	I mean, it's no exaggeration.
	Even when I'm not a waste imagination.
	Coming at you.
	Yeah.
	Rescue the Republic.
	What's going on?
	Are we just going to listen to the whole song?
	Same deal.
	Right! I think we get the idea.
	To the left and to the right.
	Yeah, for anyone not watching, that's possibly the whitest crowd in history awkwardly waving their hands left and right.
	Oh, they were doing fine.
	It's very rudimentary.
	We can all do YMCA. It's not that different.
	Yeah, I did keep an eye out for people of color in the crowd, and I managed to spot exactly one black man on camera who I think arrived with the firefighters earlier on.
	I think there were a couple of them that were black.
	Everyone else that I could see in the crowd, who I think had more voluntarily attended, you know, kind of just gone to attend, was Lily White.
	Anyway, yeah, typical of the genre.
	Now Zuby's dad filming.
	He might have been backstage.
	He might have been backstage.
	Who knows? Yeah, the two songs...
	Zuby got two. Zuby got two songs.
	Mostly just self-aggrandizing rather than political.
	The second one he played had clips in the audio, clips of him on Rogan and Rogan talking about him You're like, oh, Zoobie, that's just sad.
	Okay. Crazy choice that a rapper would be self-aggrandizing Al.
	That's just rap.
	I don't know.
	It's sad to have clips of Rogan talking about you.
	I'm like, that's, yeah.
	But yeah, I would say largely musically pretty dull.
	It's reminiscent of almost some of Will Smith's B-sides and deep cuts, but worse.
	I mean, if it gets complex, then the whites aren't, the old whites aren't going to get it.
	I mean, that's what all these conservative artists are coming.
	Listen, the bar is extremely low.
	Who they got was who they could get.
	That's who showed up here.
	It wasn't a curation of artistes.
	This was who would show up for a conservative, goofy-ass rally.
	Yeah, it does feel like a weird fit for this specific event to me, like for that audience, but they seem to enjoy waving their hands around, so who knows.
	Okay, moving on.
	We now have some doctors taking the stage, and there's a line of them, and we have, first up, Mary Holland, who is the CEO of RFK Jr.'s Children's Health Defense.
	She's taking the stage.
	What a wonderful sight.
	Children's Health Defense.
	What a tragedy and an outrage that children need public defenders for their health.
	But they do.
	During pregnancy, moms are expected to get four shots.
	Flu, Tdap, COVID, and RSV. At birth, A baby is expected to get a hepatitis B shot against a sexually transmitted disease.
	By six months, a baby is expected to get 20 shots.
	Hep B, RSV, DTaP, Hib, IPV, PCV, rotavirus, and COVID. By nine months, a baby is expected to get one or two more COVID shots.
	Not one of these shots has been properly tested and each one is known to cause injury or death in some.
	This is insane.
	This is corrupt.
	This is criminal. You know what?
	It is insane. I'll give her that.
	So none of those vaccines she's mentioned have been tested, and all of them cause injury and death.
	Frankly, the fact my four-year-old is alive and uninjured must be some kind of miracle, because, you know, she's vaccinated.
	The fact we have children at all alive in the world must be a statistical anomaly of some kind.
	Also, I'm pretty sure she just kept throwing in extra COVID shots in there as well.
	Yeah, I was going to say, like, that sounds like too many.
	No, no, no.
	Gonna have six COVID shots in nine months!
	That doesn't seem right to me.
	Yeah, so...
	Oh, not for nothing as well, but, like, hepatitis B, like, that can be transmitted through blood, semen, and vaginal fluids.
	Where does a baby come from?
	Right? Like, there's a fucking reason that doctors do things.
	This lady seems to have forgotten that somewhere in her life.
	The backlash to the HPV vaccine, like the HPV vaccine is a miracle.
	It is a medical fucking miracle that we have enjoyed in our time.
	And genuinely, if a similar vaccine had happened before all of this anti-vax shit, like if it happened in the 30s, There'd be parades where people are dressing up as the HPV and then other parade marchers that are dressing up as the shots that kill them.
	It'd be like a sensation on vaudeville.
	It would be such a celebrated innovation.
	It'd be the talk of the World's Fair.
	It'd be so...
	Because it's incredible.
	It is like, it is so important as human beings.
	And when they started, when they being like the religious right, like started demonizing and like railing against the HPV vaccine.
	I mean, it's one of those things that broke my fucking brain.
	Like, oh, y'all are like, that's why we say it's a death cult.
	Like, that's why I say it's a death cult.
	It's like, There are women in my life who significant damage to their health could have been avoided.
	With an HPV vaccine.
	Like, we could eliminate this disease.
	Entirely. Demonizing it, to me, is profoundly evil.
	It's a profoundly evil thing to do.
	Incredibly fucked up.
	As is the idea of like, oh, what's she saying?
	We shouldn't vaccinate children against Hepatitis B. Of course.
	I'm like, are you insane? Well, but that's the thing.
	Her line is that getting vaccinated is evil harm from the government, is any vaccine.
	So she can say any vaccine is already demonized.
	But before Wakefield and Jenny fucking McCarthy got their claws in the public consciousness, there was this backlash against the HPV vaccine because it's like, It's technically a sexually transmitted disease and therefore good Christians shouldn't need it.
	Now, it's very convenient that now all of these purposes have aligned for the anti-vax to benefit and then conversely the puritanical insanity of Christianity to conversely benefit from the anti-vax movement because that's a way better excuse than just saying don't be such a hussy and close your legs, girl. Because that's also like, it's blaming girls, right?
	For being made sick, right?
	Like through sexual contact when like, it just would be such a safer, better world.
	Yeah, the old argument wasn't super great because that's not a very popular stance if you actually ask people what they think.
	Rather than responding to the loudest voices in the room, not the majority of the voices in the room, but being able to cozy up with anti-vax There's so many other cross-purposes that are being served, and that's why anti-vax has gotten so rooted in so many different places.
	Because this isn't an anti-vax rally.
	It's a political event.
	But it's an anti-vax rally, because it says Maha on the fucking podium.
	And they can pretend it's anything but that.
	By acting like this is a political rally when it's an anti-vaxxer rally.
	Yeah, the other side of the coin.
	Yeah, exactly. Exactly that.
	Also, I would like to point out as well, you know, I did say doctors are taking the stage.
	This lady is a doctor of law.
	She's got a JD. She's not an MD, but she's happy just spouting this bullshit.
	But she is the CEO of the Children's Health Defense.
	Also, yeah, she's on about, like, oh, you know, 12 and 20 shots and all these other things.
	Like, it's not like these are separate shots, right?
	In the UK, for instance, the Hep B vaccine is part of the 6-in-1 vaccine, which also protects against diphtheria, Hib, polio, tetanus, and whooping cough.
	Notice she only focuses on the hepatitis.
	She mentioned Hib, actually. But she's not railing against the tetanus vaccine, you know?
	No, she's not like, that fucking polio vaccine!
	You know, because she knows if she did...
	They're starting, though! That's the thing!
	Yeah, true. That's the worrying thing.
	That's the issue with this rhetoric!
	If someone yells that on a stage, they sound fucking insane, right?
	I don't think they sound any more...
	I think they sound an equal amount of insane.
	It's all...
	I don't disagree. Yeah, that's the thing.
	If you're trying to bring logic into this, then like...
	We're already in trouble.
	You've already lost. Because like, yeah, that's yet another example of why people should be like, so...
	Why it should be so easy for people to dismiss this rhetoric, and it's not.
	Because, like, listen, everybody's a little bit at fault for not handling this right.
	And there's a lot of blame to go around for this idea being allowed to proliferate.
	And then those ripple effects from all of those subsequent issues like RFK Jr.
	Oh my God, I don't remember which country, but basically like, oh no.
	If you listen to Behind the Bastards, you already know.
	It was a place in Africa, wasn't it?
	Single-handedly, he basically caused an outbreak that was fatal to children.
	Yes, yeah. Like an outbreak and an epidemic that was fatal to children.
	And when I'm talking to a microphone, I don't get the facts that I normally have at my disposal.
	I don't know why. It's easily Google-able though.
	I'm sorry I don't have any proper nouns.
	It's just him.
	It's just him. And it's the same children's health defense organization that she is in charge of and therefore implicated in that exact deadly epidemic.
	An extremely dangerous epidemic.
	For the deaths of children.
	Yeah, weird that, isn't it?
	Children's health defense seemed to kill a lot of kids.
	Ah, okay. Anyway, fuck that lady.
	Next up, we have Pierre Corey, who has been on Russell's show quite recently, actually.
	So let's hear from him. It's this chap in the white coat here.
	Guys, great to be here.
	Thank you, thank you.
	He's wearing scrubs as well.
	He looks like it. You know, some of you know my story, but I'm going to tell it.
	About five years ago, I started on a journey.
	And where that journey led is to an unfortunate realization, or maybe it is actually fortunate, but I discovered that the world I thought I lived in did not exist.
	It was a fake world, but it was a world that I believed in.
	You know, it's embarrassing to say this in front of this crowd, but at that time, I trusted in the institutions of society.
	I read the New York Times religiously.
	I venerated the medical journals and listened to whatever they said.
	I trusted the public health agency.
	None of this is our problem.
	Man, I literally thought Fauci was a sympathetic guy in a tough spot with a lot of critics.
	That's how brainwashed I was.
	Crazy! What a lunatic!
	He thought Fauci was a sympathetic guy in a tough spot with a lot of critics.
	God, he must have been brainwashed, this guy.
	Okay. Yeah, I'm honestly not sure about anyone who chooses to wear, you know, the white lab coat to this kind of event, you know, to be like, hey, I'm a doctor.
	You know, I'm like, that's, hmm, this is, does he wear it everywhere?
	This You know exactly why.
	You know exactly why he's doing it.
	It's branding. He's wearing his costume to get people to take him seriously and listen to him.
	Yeah, yeah. And speaking of that, here's the things he wants everyone to listen to him about.
	You know, my first testimony in May of 2020, I argued for the critical need for corticosteroids in the hospitals.
	And I did that at a time when every national and international healthcare agency recommended against it.
	I was proven right six months later, but then when he invited me back to talk about this little drug called Ivermectin, of which I had become an expert on, That's when, really, the journey started to accelerate because I suddenly was faced with a response, a coordinated attack across media and medical journals and agency leaders across the world spewing lies.
	They sounded similar, they were structured similarly, and they were just raining upon our heads.
	And they were drowning out our voices.
	And then I saw the onset of immense censorship and propaganda, not just social media, the journals, the medical journals at the heart of all of this.
	Medicine has been captured.
	And then after seeing that and fighting that ivermectin war, I saw that amplify by many magnitudes around the vaccines.
	And I watched a humanitarian catastrophe unfold.
	There are millions dead across the world from these vaccines.
	My own private practice, I've seen almost 1500 patients, many of them in the peak of their lives, who are now disabled.
	And suffering with the immense symptom burden to this day, years later.
	And I believe that I'm meeting the greatest unmet need in the country right now, which is the care of the vaccine injured.
	Yeah, you fucking hero.
	All I'm going to say is prove it.
	Like, that's all I have to say.
	Prove it. If millions are dead from the COVID vaccine, prove it.
	If 1500 of your patients have been injured by the COVID vaccine, prove it.
	Please do. Oh, you can't?
	How weird.
	And yeah, absolutely.
	Like, fucking COVID. It's the people who have gotten COVID. Yeah.
	There was a massive, like, the herd immunity narrative.
	Was so wildly irresponsible from the jump.
	And people still fucking say it.
	People that say it that have had COVID five times and are like, I can't taste anything anymore, but I'm still right.
	It is beyond me.
	It's fucking... Because here's the thing.
	There was no way to know how bad the effects would be until it was unleashed on the population.
	And there were a lot of medical professionals that I heard on February 4th of 2020 that were downplaying COVID as much as anyone on the news being irresponsible.
	All of them were fucking irresponsible because it sounded crazy and fucked up to me.
	And I... I'm not a goddamn doctor.
	I was just listening to what they were saying and understanding that getting sick does not make you immune.
	Like hardly at all.
	It just damages you.
	In fact, it's easier to get sick the next time and the next time and the next time.
	So it's the opposite of We knew that.
	We at least knew.
	We didn't necessarily know the implications and the lengths that long COVID could injure people, but that danger could have easily been extrapolated and taken more seriously from everybody because of how other diseases that are similar behave.
	This wasn't entirely out of nowhere.
	It was novel for sure.
	But the thing is, I heard reports early on that got downplayed as everything kind of unfolded and as there was a lot of capitulating to these psychopaths from the government and from the CDC and from any kind of governing bodies and organizing power.
	Mm-hmm. Changing policies because of a fucking airline, not because of how the disease works.
	Get fucked. Everybody in charge, I'd say except for Anthony Fauci, that was an accurate description that he just said, and then was like, I was so foolish.
	Shut up. It's so fucking infuriating to me.
	A disease that essentially can melt part of your lungs like cancer does.
	Okay, well, we know what happens whenever your ability to take in oxygen is compromised.
	We know what happens.
	Yeah, and it's going to be worse the next time because of that.
	And it compounds.
	And it's compounding effects.
	Right, and it acts different in a lot of people.
	Those are the reasons why we should have taken it so much more seriously.
	And here's the thing, like, the COVID vaccine helps, like, the boosters, they help, but they're not going to protect you completely.
	Like, they're not going to protect you completely.
	COVID can still fuck you up even if you're vaccinated, right?
	Especially if you've got other health complications or anything else.
	Because it's allowed to mutate because so many people are still getting it.
	So it's gonna be able to slip through the defenses of the vaccine because it is constantly changing and mutating and learning.
	Yep. The raptors can open the doors.
	That's not the door's fault.
	The raptors learned.
	It's the same deal with cancer.
	Just because you get rid of it the one time, you're not immune from it forever.
	Because it mutates, it changes, it becomes a different fucking thing.
	Well, I mean, germs don't mutate like cancer does at all.
	But like... The germs, like, the particulate that causes the disease, the guts inside of that thing can adapt, and they do adapt.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's not the vaccine's fault.
	That the vaccine is doing its best.
	Yeah, it's the humans that keep fucking up.
	Yeah, if we took it seriously, then it wouldn't be still fucking ravaging this country.
	It's still happening. Well, if it wasn't for people like Pierre Corey and the other fucking doctors on this stage.
	You know, he's a fucking liar who lies.
	And he's trying to sell his goddamn ivermectin line.
	That's what he's doing. He fought for his right to make a lot of fucking money selling ivermectin.
	To make bank. And to blame vaccines.
	It's such a plain and obvious grift, and yet here we are.
	Fucking snake oil salesman on this stage.
	Yeah, and I do want to say, I don't know how much more COVID talk we're going to have, but you know what's also awesome?
	Paxlovid. So if you get sick...
	Set up a telehealth. Do something.
	So, you know, when our family members got COVID recently and it was like one day they were at death's door and then the next day they were like, I'm out.
	I'm mowing the lawn. Like it was fine.
	It was bad and then fine because they took Paxlovid.
	So like there is...
	Treatment. And that does improve your...
	Basically, however much damage that the disease is allowed to do to your body, if it does less damage, you are less likely to have...
	Less likely to have any kind of, like, long COVID complications because COVID doesn't have as much time to just, like, fuck shit up in there.
	So, like, there's...
	It's crazy that people are cheering for, like, they should be cheering for Paxlovid, not for ivermectin!
	It's so fucking infuriating that there's, like, a parallel reality where these people could be totally informed and excited and, like, aware and doing good.
	With, like, good information.
	Because a lot of these statements are so, like, oh, you're so close.
	You're so close about big pharma.
	You're so close about vaccines.
	You're so, because, like, the cruelty is that vaccines aren't universally available because we would benefit so much.
	And instead, it's like, if you can pay for it, you can have it.
	And if you don't, then you can't.
	There's a whole other...
	They're so close to all these massive problems that need...
	They need this attention.
	They need people to care.
	But these fucking grifters have usurped that entire system.
	It's... It's reprehensible.
	It's reprehensible.
	So let's listen to more. Okay, let's go.
	It's a literal fucking murderous row on this stage.
	Alright, so next up we've got Robert Malone, who you can see in the back there.
	Oh my god, I knew it!
	Ugh! Yeah.
	He's also been on Russell's show lately.
	Oh, and did you see in the audience, by the way, there was a guy dressed as Fauci with like a goblin Fauci head carrying a syringe.
	I don't know if the thing will come up again.
	Ah, it doesn't matter too much anyway. Anyway, here's Robert Malone.
	My name is Robert Malone, and I've just come back from Tokyo.
	Congrats. I want to talk to you about what you've been subjected to over the last four years.
	Our theme here is the medical industrial complex.
	It's in the weaponization of science and medicine.
	That's what we're focused on.
	Over the last four years, you have been subjected to psychological bioterrorism.
	You have been systematically subjected to psychological warfare intended to train you.
	To train you to have fear.
	Not wrong! To respond to the fear of weaponized infectious disease in order to control you.
	This is psychological warfare.
	By you! This is psychological bioterrorism.
	It must stop.
	The people that do this must stop.
	So close!
	So close!
	Yeah, by you guys! I'm going to give you a little quote from John Kerry recently speaking at the World Economic Forum.
	Okay, here's what John has to say about the world.
	Our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to hammer disinformation out of existence.
	This is why he's so focused on the next US election.
	What does he have to say about that?
	What we need is to win the right to govern by hopefully winning enough votes that you're free to be able to implement change.
	He wants to win by a big enough margin that they can throw out the First Amendment.
	All right, so this has been doing the rounds.
	And be quiet, Bob.
	So John Kerry did say the First Amendment is a major block to hammering out disinformation because it is.
	I mean, on a technical legal level, it just is.
	Like, he wasn't saying the First Amendment is bad or that it needs changing even, but just that it's an obstacle to navigate when it comes to figuring out how to tackle disinformation in America specifically.
	But because he then went on to say, well, we need to win the right to govern by winning enough votes that you're free to be able to implement change, all of the right wing are like, well, he's trying to get rid of the First Amendment.
	He's going to take it all from us, Tim and Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
	And yeah, the very concept of that is fucking insane for a litany of reasons.
	It's not... Can you imagine that vote passing for a start?
	You know? Like, I just...
	When was the last amendment to the Constitution?
	I feel like that was a while ago.
	They're not even...
	Well, the first one was the most long ago, so whatever.
	I mean, but also, like, it doesn't...
	Oh my God, taking any of these people at face value.
	No, exactly. It's insane from the start.
	Practically speaking, it's not even possible.
	It's not even worth talking about. Because that's not what's going to happen.
	What I'm interested in is the content of what they're saying, what they're making up.
	Because they're like, I mean, any conservative commentator is like, I want all the power!
	How dare they say they want power to effect change?
	That's what political parties are...
	What they're aiming to do is to have a mandate from a popular vote, not to throw votes.
	For the last 40 years in America has been fucking impossible.
	Yeah, it's also not true. Yeah, the margins are just so incredibly thin.
	We do not have majority rule in this country, period.
	We don't. No, no, no.
	And I think- And they're mad about it.
	That's what they said, is they're mad.
	That you want enough votes to actually do what you want.
	Because people voted for you.
	That is a specific statement that is anti-empowering.
	They do not want empowerment from voters.
	They don't want the voters to get to make choices about their government.
	Yeah, yeah, because that's the whole idea of how it's supposed to work, is representative democracy, you know?
	Yeah, that's what they're saying.
	They don't want representative, they want a few to control all of them.
	It's ridiculous. Yeah, no, exactly.
	And also, yeah, I'm quite sure, I think it's a two-thirds majority for any amendment to the Constitution.
	Well, and it's ratification from the state.
	It's like a whole thing. It's just not.
	And that's not even, like, repealing.
	You're not going to fucking...
	Oh, my God.
	No, it's not possible.
	Hear one politician ever saying they're going to repeal the First Amendment.
	Any of them. Oh, they haven't?
	No one's doing that.
	Not a single one. Yeah.
	It's not feasible.
	We're much more worried about the serious civil liberty curtailing that a minority rule is capable of.
	And it's not just that it's not feasible.
	Nobody wants to do it.
	Nobody wants to get rid of the First Amendment.
	You know, there's no appetite for that anywhere.
	Except maybe on Twitter.
	Elon Musk. No, yeah, they do.
	No, Republicans also love silencing free speech.
	They fucking hate free speech.
	Yeah, you're right. Yeah!
	I love these people. Okay, so next in the line was Ron Johnson, Senator Ron Johnson, the guy who's, you know, led the fucking COVID hearings and whatever else.
	He was really boring and said nothing interesting because he's a politician, so we're going to skip him.
	And we're going to get to the man of the moment, which is RFK Jr., I will point out, you may have noticed there's a big thing across half the stage that is bulletproof glass that is there.
	I'm like, okay. And it's very clear that that's from him.
	You will also see what they move on to the stage is like a big thing with the American flag on it.
	And behind that, you will be able to see a Secret Service agent stood next to RFK Jr.
	So they're very...
	The security consciousness may be a bit much for this event, is all I'm gonna say.
	But anyway, let's hear what RFK Jr.
	has to say. And this week, Hillary Clinton, Tim Walz, and Kamala Harris all said the same thing.
	They said that if the Democrats get back into office, that they are going to make sure that misinformation and disinformation is censored.
	They said that the First Amendment specifically talking about Elon Musk.
	And they said that they were going to teach him that the First Amendment is a privilege, not a right.
	Do you consider the First Amendment to be a privilege?
	Do you consider it to be your right?
	Your God-given right?
	Do you want to elect government officials who are going to take that right away from you?
	No! Okay.
	So yeah, Kamala Harris didn't say that.
	And the quote that he's talking about, Kamala Harris wasn't talking about Elon Musk even.
	She was talking about Trump five years ago.
	And she was...
	Specifically talking about how, at that time, then President Trump's Twitter account should have been removed and banned because of how incendiary it was and the fact that it was blatantly violating the terms of service on a frequent basis.
	Basically saying, hey, you should get this fucking guy off Twitter.
	And she was then also speaking of social media regulation in general, And of those, quote, speaking to millions of people without any level of oversight or regulation, unquote.
	And yeah, you know what?
	That has turned out to be a bit of a problem, hasn't it?
	But as ever, like the alt-right have taken a point about the dangers of misinformation and used it to create misinformation.
	So here we are again.
	This is just, this is nonsense.
	Complete nonsense. Yeah, what?
	Idiot. Yep, exactly that.
	Exactly that.
	I love that America has finally learned how batshit insane this dude is.
	He's being investigated for the whale thing.
	That reporter who had the sexting scandal, thank god that her fiancé dropped her like a hot rock.
	What a mess. What a mess.
	And the conversation that happened in our home.
	Fascinating choices.
	I think that a lot of relationship problems can be negotiated and navigated, but if you even had one romantic thought about R.K. Jr.
	Game over. We got bigger problems.
	That is a symptom of a much more dire disease.
	This is something that's going to rear its head down the road and I don't want to be there for it.
	Yeah. Get his wife out of there.
	We need her back. We need her back among the living.
	Like, it's just...
	What a fucking skis.
	What a fucking...
	Straight up, like, totally nuts...
	Top-notch, world-class skis in every area of life.
	He's awful. He's just awful.
	Yeah. He should not be in charge of himself, let alone anyone else.
	What would tell you that he's capable of making decisions?
	Because he's just not.
	He doesn't seem to be good at that part.
	Anything! Except for being a weird cretin.
	Yeah, he's good at that.
	I'll give him that. I'll give him the credit.
	Yeah, he's fucking top-notch.
	Tens across the board for being a weird cretin.
	Yes. And next we get a vintage talking point from him.
	We have the sickest children in the world.
	When my uncle was president- There's no way that's true.
	6% of America had chronic disease.
	It's not true. Today, that number is around 60%.
	When my uncle was president and I was a 10-year-old boy, we had 3.4% of Americans were obese.
	Today, 74% of Americans are obese or overweight.
	Japan, 3% of these people are obese, the same as we were in 1960.
	We have We have explosions.
	Autism has gone from one in 10,000 to one in every 34.
	One in 10,000 in my generation, one in every 34 in my kids' generation.
	There it is. There's the classic one.
	That's the anti-vax line.
	Yeah, with both autism and chronic illnesses that he brought up at the start there, there's been a very significant change in diagnosis of these things.
	It's not that they weren't there 60 years ago.
	It's that they weren't being diagnosed.
	Much like trans people.
	Like, we were there the whole time.
	It's not some scary new thing.
	Like, we're there the whole time.
	It's always been there.
	We're just, you know?
	It's, uh, yeah, yeah.
	As for obesity, like...
	Yeah, there you go. Go ahead. Yeah, go ahead.
	No, no, just as for obesity, he's putting two statistics together for a start with the obesity thing, because there's the kind of severely obese and then the kind of lesser category of obesity, and he's...
	It's like 31 and 34% or something, and he's just combining them and making it seem like they're the same thing.
	And then he's saying like 74% or whatever it was.
	I'm like, okay, fucking sure, bullshit.
	Okay, cool. Also, if it's 74%, you're measuring wrong.
	Because the measurement is wrong.
	Yeah, and it's also based on BMI, which is another problem.
	A smattering of Scottish sailors in 1835 is how all of our bodies are measured.
	Yeah. It's the average of a very unscientific, but God bless him for trying.
	He did his best.
	I think the guy that came up with the BMI stats and all that, I think he'd be fucking mortified.
	To find out how his...
	Yeah, probably. He'd be like, no, no, no, no, no!
	This is not what it was supposed to be.
	I did one thing you could start with, and then you could scale up and change it and improve it.
	No? Nah, we just used that thing.
	We just used that one thing.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it was good. We liked it, so we stuck with it.
	Okay. Classic, super healthy Scottish sailors in Victorian times.
	Yeah. Pinnacle of health, those guys.
	Get fucking bent.
	Yeah. No, they changed the criteria for like- Eating delicious whale blubber and scotch.
	That's the pinnacle of health, right?
	Okay. Okay.
	Watch the terror, you'll find out.
	But that kind of understanding of the quote-unquote obesity epidemic, and I feel like this is a common talking point, and maybe I'm preaching to the converted or whatever, but the criteria for obesity was changed.
	Just the criteria was changed and then the numbers went way the fuck up.
	And that's it. It was a manufactured PR epidemic.
	Are people overweight because of a lot of societal reasons and they're not comfortable with it?
	It's uncomfortable.
	It is bad for your health.
	Sure, all that stuff. None of the root problems are getting fixed at all.
	Definitely not by this fucking guy.
	No! Because, like, his idea, because he, you know, the thing to do in his mind would be, like, you know, better food regulation in the States, which you do need, for instance.
	You know, there are potential good ideas.
	But he doesn't want that either.
	Well, he wants to kind of dismantle the FDA, and I'm not convinced that that's the solution.
	That's what I'm saying. He wants actively less regulation.
	He doesn't want more, so he wants to make all the...
	He has fucking fantasy notions that he thinks will work and will actively make the problem worse, and anyone...
	An expert, definitely.
	A passing observer, probably.
	If you tell them the idea, they're like, that's terrible.
	Like, why would you...
	Like, you're not going to improve our food supply by removing regulations.
	That's insane.
	It's baby brain.
	Like... You know what?
	A baby wouldn't think of that.
	It's insane. It's worm-brained.
	It's what it is. It's worm-brained.
	Don't blame that worm.
	This is 100% of the guy's fucking fault.
	This adult man has brought every single thing.
	As soon as he became an adult, he doesn't get to pass it off anymore.
	We should have had sympathy.
	He should have had support.
	And now instead, this.
	This is what's happening instead.
	This is what we get.
	Yeah, yeah. And also, the general rhetoric from RFK Jr.
	and his campaign has always been overwhelmingly fatphobic.
	Oh, yeah. That makes all of it a very difficult pill to swallow from these individuals.
	Like, nah, fuck you. How about that?
	And wildly ableist.
	Yes, absolutely. Yes, that too.
	That too. You'd think he would know better, but apparently not.
	Okay, so now he wants to talk about healthcare a little bit.
	We have lost since 1970, when we were leading the world in longevity, we've lost six years compared to Europe.
	In Italy, we spent four times per capita what Italians pay for healthcare, and we live 7.4 years less.
	So we are commoditizing ourselves.
	We're destroying our country, including our national security.
	Seventy-seven percent of our children can no longer qualify for military service, and it's costing us $4.3 trillion a year.
	It is an existential threat to our country.
	Our country is strong in the military.
	It's not going to be destroyed because we get the social safety net wrong or because we miscalculate about our healthcare system.
	It's going to happen because chronic disease is going to destroy us and it's going to destroy us soon.
	If we don't win this election for a president who's going to make America healthy again Who will bring me into Washington, D.C. That alone.
	That alone. You want to be a single issue voter?
	That's enough for me.
	To reclaim. To reclaim our agencies from the pharmaceutical companies and from the big ag companies and the big food companies that are trying to destroy them.
	Okay, and that man who's gonna do that is Donald Trump, the anti-corruption hero that he is.
	Okay. Yeah, notice there he was saying how, you know, Americans pay a fortune more for healthcare and get statistically less out of it.
	And then went on to say, oh, our country's not gonna be destroyed by, you know, how we deal with healthcare and that kind of stuff.
	Right? Motherfucker!
	You just said the problem out loud!
	That's the thing, they're either so close or they're over the target and missing the point.
	Yes! Their thesis is incorrect.
	Overwhelmingly what just happened.
	Yes, absolutely that.
	Absolutely that. The problem is not that Italians are getting more out of their healthcare, it's that Americans shouldn't be fucking paying for it.
	And the Italian system is kind of like a hybrid kind of system anyway, where some people pay for it and some people don't, and it all kind of balances out anyway.
	But yeah, and the statistics he was using, by the way, were general mortality rates rather than anything kind of health-specific.
	So, like, another thing that's driving the statistics down for America is all those school shootings you keep on having where the kids keep getting killed and that kind of drives the top number down.
	You know what I mean? And it's funny, like, when you actually look at the numbers as to where you lost those six and seven years, the increase in school shootings, it kind of started around there.
	Ha! Weird.
	Real weird. Crazy how chronic disease is also tied very closely with stress and environmental factors and things that we can actually do something about.
	Like, dude, what if...
	What if Western medicine has an easy solution for his throat thing?
	Wouldn't that just be a hoot?
	Like, wouldn't that be great if he just refused, if there's no, like, holistic treatment?
	But, like, doctors would be like, yeah, take this pill.
	Your voice will be fine. And then, like, he just doesn't...
	Because I've known people that refuse to get, like, regular medical intervention, and because their holistic choices don't actually fix the problem, they just kind of limp around.
	It's like, no, that could be fixed, but, like...
	A doctor would do it.
	I don't think he would be one of those, because he did have surgery last year, I think, that had something to do with it.
	I think he was trying to fix it then.
	But also with that, you know, It wouldn't shock me that he would have that kind of mindset equally.
	Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	It's plausible. Well, but that's the thing that genuinely, what bugs me out is, and I mean, well then, okay, fine.
	Western medicine couldn't fix it either.
	That doesn't help his attitude.
	Nope. It's not just Trump.
	I've already said on this show that I'm not going to tell anybody they have to do anything when it comes to the vote.
	Genuinely, I think you should vote.
	I think that telling people not to vote is going to...
	Maybe if you don't want to vote for the general election, the national contest.
	Please, oh my god, still vote down-ballot if that's your choice.
	I don't know, man.
	That really scares me as far as the impact of telling people don't vote.
	The ripple effects in down-ballot races.
	Yeah, with your ripple representatives and everything else. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, like, also, like, don't just vote.
	That should be, like, voting is not the end-all be-all, right?
	But, like, I've...
	What makes me feel blue no matter who, fucking blue-anon-ass, like, crazy, like, oh my god, there's only one choice, is the notion that RFK Jr., If Trump is elected, we'll have any access whatsoever to health anything, in government anything.
	The man shouldn't be allowed near a hospital information kiosk, let alone a governing body.
	That turns me into a coconut liberal.
	Like Brett, you know, fucking Kamala Brett Summer, whatever.
	That like, it makes me feel completely insane.
	And I mean, this is the same thing.
	Like I've been feeling this way since Bush got elected the first time.
	Well, baby Bush got elected the first time was like, we're not, you're not just voting for him.
	You're voting for Karl Rove and you're voting for Dick Cheney.
	Oh, and you guys did that anyway.
	Oh, cool. Tight. Oh, they're back.
	Great, great, great, great. Oh, this is going to be awesome.
	It's the same shit.
	Trump, yeah, like, focusing on Trump as an idea, like, yeah, he's a fucking goober, but the goober kicks the door open for other goobers that are way more dangerous.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, absolutely.
	Absolutely. Like, he seems dangerous on his own, but it's not him.
	You know, he is a problem, but he's not the biggest problem.
	It's everyone else that he opens the door to.
	Absolutely. Abso-fucking-lutely.
	And yeah, RFK Jr.
	has never held elected office for a reason.
	You know? Fucking keep this guy out of Washington, please, America.
	Okay, okay. Someone should be buying his groceries for him!
	He's not capable!
	Like... Seriously!
	Someone probably does, let's be real.
	He can't be trusted with a wife and a phone!
	Yeah. No!
	Yeah. Okay, we got one more clip of RFK Jr.
	We need a president who's going to come into office in this country and who is going to dismantle this corrupt merger of state and corporate power.
	Okay, yeah.
	Yeah, that's who we need, and it's going to be Donald Trump.
	He's going to dismantle, you know, the corrupt state and corporate power merger thing that's happening.
	That's Donald Trump. He's the anti-corruption guy.
	Then why did he do it already? Why did he do it last time?
	Well, deep state?
	Uh, you know, the deep state.
	Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I'm saying that there was a state, it was deep, and that stopped him from doing it.
	Okay, why wouldn't that stop him again?
	He beat the deepest shit.
	Yeah, you're right. Now I'm struggling.
	Yeah. I need to spend more time on QAnon forums to try and figure out my way around this.
	It's also not hard. Listeners, you hear how not hard it is to push back on these ideas?
	Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
	Goddamn. All right. Asking follow-up questions.
	I need to punch up. I need to punch up my stuff.
	You're a terrible QAnon person.
	I'm terrible at QAnoning.
	Let's move on from RFK Jr.
	Let's have a little look at a video from one of the sponsors of this event.
	If you think girls and women's equality matter, Stand up.
	If girls and women's sports matter, and you want your daughters to have the same opportunity you had, stand up.
	If you know that it isn't fair or safe to allow males to compete in girls sports, because it's, well, obvious, Stand up.
	Don't be cowed by people who call you a bigot.
	You're not a bigot.
	Don't let men tell us how to be good girls.
	Don't let others tell you you just need to be quiet.
	Sit down. Be nice.
	It's not nice to further a lie.
	It's not mean to believe in women's equality.
	We deserve our own sports.
	Privacy. Safety.
	We deserve a chance to compete and win.
	So don't be nice.
	Don't be careful. Be honest.
	Be brave. Fight for women.
	We've come too far to give up now.
	And if you agree with that, stand up and stand with us.
	Hmm, yeah, so, uh, XXXY Athletics, um, an anti-trans, uh, sportswear brand.
	Um, you know, I guess if there's a fucking gap in the market, they'll fill it with bigotry.
	Um, yeah. I'm not thrilled that these guys get, you know, because this is a big spot.
	You know, everyone was kind of waiting for RFK Jr.
	This is, and this was immediately after.
	You know, and yeah, real fucked up.
	For anyone who wasn't watching, they were kind of flashing up, you know, general kind of anti-trans rhetoric headlines and that kind of shit.
	Yeah. Yeah.
	That's disgusting. It is, yes.
	The first thing the video said was, this ad was banned by TikTok.
	Yeah, because it's hate speech.
	Yes. It sure fucking was, because this is hate speech.
	Yeah, and there's thetruthfits.com, and they have a discount code to buy these dropship-ass t-shirts.
	Yep, these terrible two shits.
	And that's all gonna pay for, you know, their general fucking bigotry activism.
	Good, good stuff.
	Fantastic. Well, yeah, maybe.
	Maybe. Yeah, new Mercedes, perhaps.
	Weaponizing children for bigotry.
	Fuck these people. Okay, we get...
	Oh, we get another musical act.
	We get the Defiant, Dickie Barrett's newer outfit, you know, formerly of the Mighty Boss Tones.
	His new...
	It's his new patriotic act.
	And same treatment.
	We'll get a verse and a chorus, right?
	These guys did that together very quickly.
	You guys kicked ass.
	We are the Defiant.
	We're very happy to be here today.
	Thank you, everybody, for coming to this event.
	Thank you to everybody who put it on.
	And this song is called Where Did Lady Liberty Go?
	Oh, where did Lady Liberty go?
	Oh, audio's gone shit.
	Oh, audio's gone shit.
	In the year of my lord, 2020, I think that the bucket was mine.
	All you can hear is a savior for asking why to hand a break down the eyes of the arch.
	Heroes did resist and the scoundrels insisted that it was my two-tall task.
	Stop you, not disturb, or get kicked to the curb.
	It'll make you the father to last.
	Oh, audio's gone.
	Oh, yeah.
	See that's been a movie I am.
	Yep, okay.
	Musically fine, lyrically shit.
	That's all I've got. Fuck you, Dickie Barrett.
	Just... It's weird.
	This looks like a sketch.
	This looks like a SNL spoof.
	Yeah, it's weird hearing this particular genre of punk-style thing with alt-right shit coming out of it.
	In the year of our Lord 2020, I'm like...
	What? This is...
	Okay, I mean...
	Don't like it. There's been racist punk the whole time.
	True! Nazi punks fuck off.
	Yeah, that's a thing I need to say every time it comes up.
	But yeah, no, that's true.
	That's true. I guess with this specific...
	You know, the specific American punk sound.
	I'm not as used to it, let's put it that way.
	Maybe I'm ignorant. Maybe I've just not been exposed to enough of this bullshit.
	But yeah, that was bad. Well, it doesn't...
	I mean, usually they're not...
	Yeah. Well, you don't have to try as hard.
	When you're pandering to a bloodthirsty audience, that was embarrassing.
	That's true, that's true.
	Okay, I did notice, and this is wild, and I don't know if this is another...
	Before they started playing, there was a wide shot from where the sound booth would be or whatever organizing hub is in the back of the audience, where the sound booth would be at a festival.
	You could see both the jumbotrons and they were distant The video on the Jumbotrons was exactly the video I was seeing.
	Jumbotrons are usually a person with a camera in front of the stage so that people could see the stage in the back of the audience.
	This was just another distant shot very far away from the stage.
	So the audience can see the audience.
	Yeah, yeah. Maybe that was just like a blip.
	But as far as production quality, is it just the live feed that goes on the Jumbotron?
	No, it's not always the same.
	An event for these people.
	That was just weird. I've never seen a really far away shot on a Jumbotron, but also like, what are we doing?
	No, no. I think it's another one of those kind of monks, you know, that suggests that maybe this wasn't organized very well.
	Well, the point of organization, too, is you're thinking about like, who is this for?
	You are making this for your audience.
	And the audience there seems like another prop that they have.
	Yeah, because also they didn't pay to be there.
	You know, so like the audience is a prop for this little video they're making and putting on the Internet, right?
	Like as a live feed, as like a telethon.
	Pretty much. And that was just that was terrible.
	They call them a super group on the Chiron, which is funny.
	Yes, they did. Yes, they did.
	I think we are using that term loosely.
	Every kind of weird sellout punk version has already happened.
	This is exactly what anyone would expect to be.
	Pretty much.
	And what a fucking whining baby.
	His BLM song, people didn't fall over themselves, so now he's doing this.
	Yeah. So everyone was right.
	You just proved everyone right.
	Pretty much. That you're a dumb baby who doesn't get it.
	And maybe you should keep your fucking mouth shut.
	And you didn't. And now you have to do this.
	Now he has to do one song at Rescue the Republic.
	This was another one song situation.
	You were the mighty, mighty boss tones.
	Decidedly not mighty anymore.
	No, how the mighty have fallen, some might say.
	Okay, next we have Lara Logan, former CBS journalist who went full alt-right anti-vax.
	And she is going to introduce Russell, finally.
	And she's going to make a suggestion near the end of her little bit that doesn't go down too well.
	And when she does, keep an eye on Jordan Peterson's face specifically.
	Is he ready? Now, I don't want them to yell at me for talking too young, but I gotta make sure that the man of the moment is waiting in the wings.
	There's not enough activity to my side, so let's talk about Russell Brand.
	Russell Brand is just classic because he came from their world.
	They don't like it when you come from their world.
	They held you up They adored you.
	They made you a hero.
	They gave you prizes.
	They wrote glowing articles.
	Now they have to find a way to say, well, we didn't mean any of that.
	None of that was true.
	Just like me, I used to be a great journalist when I was on 60 Minutes.
	Did you? Apparently now I've lost my mind.
	Did you? You know, great doctors.
	There's some great doctors.
	People that were elevated at UC Berkeley and above, right?
	Doctors of what, mom?
	Come on. They believe in natural immunity and they don't want to be experimented on or lie to their patients.
	What happened to that?
	Uh-oh. Russell.
	Russell, if you're not naturally immune, you deserve to die.
	That's what she's saying.
	What?
	Yeah, if natural immunity doesn't work, then you're supposed to die.
	That's what she's saying.
	Yeah, yeah, pretty much.
	Russell, if I let you baptize me, will you strip down to your underwear?
	Will you baptize me in your underwear?
	Bye.
	He doesn't think I'm serious.
	I was eight the first time I was baptized.
	It was humiliating then.
	Ladies and gentlemen, I want to welcome to the stage a great man who is brave and doesn't care what they say.
	Dear, oh dear. So she was trying to do a joke about wanting to fuck Russell Brand, and Jordan Peterson kind of visibly disgusted with her, which is not shocking from the misogynist.
	I didn't get that from his face.
	Well, it seemed like they didn't know when to go on stage.
	Like, they seemed confused with the intro.
	It looked like they were like, when are we going to walk?
	Like, the PAs put us here to walk, and we aren't being intro'd in a way that...
	Yeah, yeah, yeah....by a person.
	Like, it's in a human fashion.
	We're not being intro'd, so I don't know.
	Like, that's... Yeah.
	I'm not. Yeah, but it is interesting to me that that little joke about wanting to fuck Russell Brand, you know, that would have gone down, you know, getting him in his underwear, that would have gone down great five years ago.
	Russell would have been all over that.
	But now that he's got to be the morally superior alt-right criminal Christian guy, he just has to smile politely and go, yeah, yeah, and then walk on stage.
	Yeah, I'm like, ooh, ooh, this is the wrong crowd for the thing you're saying, Lara Logan.
	Wrong crowd. Is it?
	They're fine with him.
	It just wasn't funny.
	It's not funny.
	Like, it's not funny.
	It's a weird thing to say.
	Yeah, I mean, it is weird.
	And also, like, I would never say that to Russell if I were you.
	He would follow through.
	But also, like, I don't know.
	I don't think he could get away with making jokes about that now because of his Christian identity and everything else.
	I don't think he would be able to make those same kind of...
	Raunchy jokes, should we say, that he used to, you know?
	Well, he also wasn't on mic or anything.
	The crowd didn't laugh either, because it wasn't funny.
	No. She said a thing that she was like, ha!
	And it wasn't funny.
	So, like, it was like, cool, that's not great.
	That's... And she could have just moved on.
	She didn't. And that's why they were like, do we walk?
	on now that you've said that dumb thing, lady?
	Okay. Because, yeah, it's not like the crowd liked it either.
	No! Yeah.
	What are you doing, Lara?
	Alright, so Russell and Jordan Peterson finally take the stage as a double act for some reason.
	I don't know why, but we get 40 minutes of both of them.
	So, well, here we go.
	Dr. Peterson and I have been on a rather unusual journey.
	I don't mean literally. We arrived separately, but by God, we'll be leaving together, won't we, Doctor?
	To arrive at this stage.
	I'm an Englishman. I'm not from your great country.
	I admire it and you very deeply.
	I'm not traditionally what you might regard as a Republican or a Trump supporter.
	I have arrived on this stage via Hollywood, via liberalism.
	By all sorts of images of freedom in the form of decadence and Epicureanism, the mindless pursuit of pleasure as a god.
	But I stand before you today, thankfully with a professional psychologist, because I could go crazy at any moment, baby.
	Because I admire your spirit of freedom and your liberty.
	And it seems to me that once the MAGA movement is joined by Robert F. Kennedy, And Tulsi Gabbard, it becomes plain where the true anti-establishment sentiment lies.
	And it is not with the current incumbents of the White House who for all their rhetoric advocate for further and deeper and more expensive wars.
	Who seem keen to lubricate the pathway to authoritarianism and totalitarianism with talk of protecting the vulnerable.
	During the pandemic period, we saw how they protect the vulnerable by imprisoning the majority.
	By medicating everybody, by obfuscating facts, by concealing truth and controlling freedom.
	I, like many of the organizers of this event, believe that this is a critical moment for us, not just the ordinary rank-and-file supporters of the Trump and MAGA movement, although to you, of course, I am open-hearted and full of deep and Christian love.
	But also to people that would never consider voting for Donald Trump.
	It is to them that I reach out in earnest and say, if you care about democracy, if you care about freedom, if you care about ending war, if you care about your children's health, ultimately, if you care about freedom, this is the time for you to do something decisive and different.
	And, uh, vote for Donald Trump.
	That's the answer.
	Yeah, an important thing to note about this event is the presentation of it, that it's kind of bipartisan, that it's, as Brett Weinstein said, the unity movement, right?
	That it's, uh, Cross-party, and the presentation of Russell here specifically is as a left-wing guy.
	They're trying to make the claim that he is currently left-wing, basically.
	Now Russell hasn't been left-wing in four years, but because he was once, they're able to use his image and pretend it's some great closing of the chasm between left and right.
	And that's what Russell is here to parrot, along with advancing his Christianity as well.
	Because, you know, got to get it on top.
	I also don't think that, like, I don't think that that narrative is going to, I mean, it's a law of diminishing returns, right?
	Like, I don't think that narrative has got legs for much longer, really.
	I don't. Yeah, well, it makes sense that they would have capitalized on that for a long time, you know?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it becomes less credible with every passing day, is the problem with it.
	Because I'm like, well, I'm pretty sure a lot of these people have seen Russell's show.
	You know, I'm quite sure a lot of these people will have at least seen clips of Russell somewhere doing something, you know?
	I think they're aware.
	Because these people all cross-pollinate anyway.
	Well, I'm not talking about his content.
	I'm talking about, like, people that...
	People's impression of him.
	Because there's plenty of people that aren't engaging with his content.
	And if he says that he has left sympathies, then that can just be true.
	Because all we've been listening to all day, all of these speakers just say fucking words, man.
	They're just saying shit.
	And the impact of the policies that they're talking about...
	The impact of their behavior specifically.
	Yeah, like, cause and effect are not linked at all, so you can just say stuff and it's true.
	That's what this crowd is about.
	Yeah, yeah. Also, like, I don't know, it always feels like a risky move to me because a bunch of these people fucking hate the left.
	So, you know... I'm like, is that going to be persuasive?
	But as Russell said, he's trying to talk to the people who have never voted Trump.
	That's supposedly who he's shooting for.
	Well, that's silly. They want people on their side.
	That's the thing. They want a token.
	They want to have a token of every kind.
	Jordan Peterson is a great...
	Well, he's an academic.
	He's in academia.
	He's intellectual.
	Yes. Not if you listen to the words he says.
	He's a buffoon.
	The presentation is of an intellectual, I will say that.
	Who the motherfuck hired him to teach?
	That's the thing.
	Just because he got the job doesn't mean he isn't a brain-dead buffoon.
	Well, he got fired from the job fairly recently.
	Eventually! Yeah, eventually, yeah.
	But yeah, it's just...
	It's because he refused to do his job.
	They eventually had to fire him.
	He refused to do any work.
	It shouldn't. I'd argue that took too long.
	And same thing with Russell. His presentation is still a groovy spiritual dude.
	And so eventually the wheels are going to fall off of that thing.
	And it's just not going to work.
	I'm looking forward to that day. Maybe.
	Or he can make it work.
	But I'm saying if you are just writing that old trope, he's going to have to and he's capable of reinventing himself into something new that works.
	It's what we're watching him try to fit this square peg into a round hole.
	We're watching him try to do it right now.
	It's how to... Reconcile all of these disparate elements of himself into a package that has a money button on it.
	He can just press over and over and over again like other people in this little crowd that are happy with less money.
	That's the thing. All those doctors don't need a Russell amount of money to buy them.
	Their price tag is cheaper than Russell.
	Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
	Alright, this next clip has a vague threat embedded in it that Jordan Peterson might become an American citizen.
	I pray for a free and fair election in November.
	I pray that great American heroes like Edward Snowden will be revered and heard.
	That international martyrs like Julian Assange will be accredited.
	Should be in prison.
	That the defence industry, the big food industry, the big agricultural industry that prohibits, curtails and oppresses ordinary farmers will face at last the serious opposition that it requires.
	And if it takes me, an Englishman, and the great Dr.
	Jordan Peterson, who is, whatever his great credits, he's still Canadian, So far.
	They're working on that, aren't they?
	We're here in support of your freedom, our freedom, and collective freedom.
	Okay, so somehow this rescuing the Republic thing is in support of freedom broadly everywhere in the UK as well.
	Cool, cool, cool. I'm pretty sure Russell isn't entirely sure which Republic it is he's supposed to be saving, but okay.
	And yeah, Jordan Peterson might become an American citizen.
	That'll be fun. I think that Russell heard it, like, there working on that, like, he's gonna be stripped of his Canadian citizenship or be expelled from the country in some way.
	I mean, they could mean two very different things from what they, like, so far, right?
	Very true. Yeah, I hadn't considered that.
	Okay. Russell's saying they're working on it.
	They're working on that? They're going to stop him from being Canadian?
	How? What?
	Yeah, exactly. It's fucking ridiculous.
	Alright, well, you know what?
	That's the last clip that we're going to have from part one.
	And... Yeah, there's plenty more to come in part two, including, well, these two chuckleheads, obviously.
	There's Jimmy Dore, Matt Taibbi, Del Bigtree, and a whole host of real weirdos.
	There are some strange individuals in part two, so we'll have that to look forward to.
	Oh boy, oh boy.
	Yeah, the full seven hours of this situation was a little bit of an endurance test, I'm not going to lie. It's been a week, but here we are.
	Even the shorter version was an endurance test, so I can imagine.
	Yeah, yeah. I think that was like, what, 47 minutes, I think, total that I've played there out of three and a half.
	All right.
	Well, well, well, well, well, well, well.
