| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
I'm going to go ahead and get the camera.
I'm going to get the camera.
I don't know if there's a limit on things like this.
Because I heard once... There is.
Heard there is a limit.
Yeah.
Well I heard that there's this thing called the Akashic Records, you see in sort of Vedic philosophy.
Everything you've said, everything you've ever said is out there vibrating.
Limitlessly through space, gal.
So think!
Oh, sorry.
Before you say stuff, that's Gareth Roy.
He's our producer here on the show.
Welcome.
Welcome to Stay Free with Russell Brand.
If you're watching this in New York City, it's noon.
If you're in Los Angeles, it's 9am.
You've probably just got up, have you?
Because you're in Los Angeles.
You've just gotten up.
Is there homeless people?
Is there?
Of course there are.
And if you're in the UK, that's where I am.
It's 5pm.
Thanks for joining us in Tirana, Albania at 6pm.
But what does it matter?
Because we can't even prove that time is even there at all, can we?
In today's show, as usual, we're talking about power.
We're talking in particular about Bill Gates.
Bill Gates said that we're on the brink of a civil war, didn't he?
And we wonder if Bill Gates...
Benefits for these from these kind of social fractures and fissures and that kind of conflict and stuff You know like as Bill Gates has a lot of influence in the media.
Did you know that Gareth?
I do know that yeah.
You've got an incredible amount of influence So when he says something incendiary you have to wonder why he's saying it We've got fantastic guests coming up on the show later.
I think I'll say a name correctly.
I think it's Batya Ungar Sagan No, it's not.
What do you say?
How do you say it?
Batya Batya Ungar-Saga.
She's a Deputy Opinion Editor at Newsweek.
We'll be talking to her about today's stories.
Now, shall we do normal news?
Absolutely.
Right, OK.
Well, let me start it off, because we've got a lot of news that's about Joe Biden.
He keeps cropping up, hasn't he?
Like, if you're President of America, you're almost guaranteed to be in the news, aren't you?
Yeah.
It's good for the old Graham, I would say.
Like on your Instagram?
Yeah, I would say so.
People are going to be glued to your feed, aren't they?
So, let's see.
And also, because he's come up so much, look, we've got a little strand for him.
OK, so he'll be coming up in a little bit.
Oh, and also you!
You, the people!
Remember, you can chat to us because we're streaming live.
Let's see what you're saying now.
Oh yeah, by the way, if you donate us money, you know how you can send us money?
People send in $5 or $10 like this person, RW Carson.
I was fired by Brandon, and that you mean like Joe Biden, don't you?
I was fired by Brandon's executive VAX order last year, got a new job at a tech company and being fired again over the VAX.
Friday, work from home.
F the elite and their agenda, stay free.
Well done.
If you were to simply take your medicine, perhaps you could have a job.
Alright?
Look at him, he's sat there, he's out of his mind on day nurse, isn't he?
It's effective.
Cough and cob medicine.
And have you taken all the medicines you're meant to?
That's your business, isn't it?
It's just my business, Russ.
So it's your business to take whatever medicine you want to take, even though am I officially your employer?
I'm not even sure.
You don't see me that way, do you?
Contractually, I'm not sure.
I don't know, we'll have to look into it.
I like the idea that I'm in a position of authority, to tell you the truth.
But anyway, look mate, yeah, I don't think you should lose your job for not taking medicine, to tell you the absolute truth.
But there you go, that's just my opinion.
Here now is what I would call normal news.
Coolio's dead?
That's a nightmare, isn't it?
I like Coolio.
But at least he will know whether there is a gangster paradise.
Yeah, and what it'd be like there.
Is it nice in a gangster's paradise?
It's difficult to know, isn't it?
Because, of course, if you're a gangster it's nice, but has a gangster been so traumatised that they'll actually accept poor conditions?
Probably.
God rest your eternal soul, Coolio.
That's what I'll say to Coolio.
I was just wondering if anyone... Would you be annoyed if your obituary didn't contain your actual name?
Or just, like, your, you know, stage name?
Coolio sees himself as Coolio by now.
You have to, don't you?
Don't he?
So, God rest your soul, Coolio.
Syphilis cases are surging.
Should I be worried?
That last bit's a headline, that's not me.
I'm not worried because I'm in a monogamous scenario.
And also syphilis, that's olden days illness!
Yeah.
It's making a comeback now.
What a ridiculous step back in time.
Here are people that actually got syphilis.
Adolf Hitler, that guy.
Couldn't get a break, could he?
He gave everything he had!
Oh, what?
And then he's struck with the old syphilis.
That's what started all the problems.
I'm sick and tired of this!
Payback!
Um, Christopher... Also, other people that had syphilis include Christopher Columbus.
What a cheek!
Hold on, it says here though... No, he didn't have it.
He imported it.
He imported it?
Yeah, apparently.
Oh, he went and got it?
That's it, yeah.
That's the last thing people... Hold on.
No, I don't believe that.
I think that he took it there.
Yeah.
Like, I think he got it in Portugal, or wherever he was hanging, and then he took it and started spreading it around the New World.
Yeah, I think that's what happened.
What a nerve.
Can you import a disease?
Isn't it?
I don't think you can regard it as an import.
You can't say that you're a trader.
No.
And this is Imports Expo.
Excuse me.
And for our new product.
You can't call that an import.
That's a discharge.
Exactly.
That's much more of a discharge you got there, Chris.
Yeah.
Well done, discovering a country.
What about all this stuff?
Don't worry about them.
They won't be around long.
They're gonna go start staring mad in about a month, I predict.
Especially her.
She ain't got long.
Gotta have my eye on you.
Like, because what that shows is, if for all of their presumed superiority, we're better than this lot.
Let's nick all their stuff.
Won't you?
I like that one.
Isn't it?
Yeah.
Make your mind up.
Either you're a dominator or you're a profligator with a discharge, Chris Columbus.
Not to say, you know... I don't know.
Is he a good guy, Christopher Columbus?
Oh, it's complex, I imagine.
You don't come across that well when you start reading about him, does he?
Abraham Lincoln... Abraham Lincoln had syphilis.
Did you know that?
Well, it says he may have passed syphilis on to his wife, but that's not very detailed, is it?
I mean, anyone may have done that.
Well, I don't know what kind of life you're living, mate.
Well... Not in my household.
Isn't it symptomless?
No!
You could go stark, staring mad!
That's a symptom!
Byron had it, didn't he?
Lord Byron.
You're right.
Byron had it.
All them lovely poems, but nutty as a fruitcake.
Oscar Wilde.
I mean, it's the disease of the greats in many ways, isn't it?
Beethoven, Shakespeare, Van Gogh.
All just people that had syphilis.
But that's not officially news.
What are we saying there?
It makes you... turns you into a genius?
Why not try a little dose of the old syphilis and become one of the greats, I would say.
It's brilliant.
Also in, hold on, I've thrown my normal news down there.
Is there other normal news?
That bloody hurricane.
Bad news, there's that hurricane still happening.
But don't worry, because your president and mine, if you consider the United States of America to be the dominant cultural force on our planet at this time, It's basically all our president.
Joe Biden knows precisely what to do, and you're not going to like this.
Geyser have sent us $5, which will go to the Stay Free Foundation, which we give to drug addicts.
Clean drug addicts, though.
You're not going to like this, mate, because guess what Joe Biden's saying about what to do in case of a hurricane.
You know, like, if there's a hurricane, me, I don't know much about hurricanes, baby, except for the cyclone in my midriff.
But I would say this.
If there's going to be a hurricane... Batten down the hatches.
Batten down the hatches.
Don't have the hatches all flapping.
Like food, maybe food supplies for a while.
Snacks!
Yep.
Yeah, definitely.
Okay, well let's see what President Joe Biden offers us up.
Go on, Gav.
Let me be clear.
If you're in a state where hurricanes often strike, like Florida or the Gulf Coast or into Texas, Yep, he knows all of the ones where it might happen.
That's good, isn't it?
He's across that.
He's already doing better than... Remember George Bush when Kanye... That's the first time a lot of people heard of Kanye when Kanye goes, George Bush, you don't care about Black people.
Do you remember that?
About Katrina.
Let's see.
So he's doing alright so far because he's at least listed the places where you might get one.
A vital part of preparing for hurricane season is to get vaccinated now.
Get vaccinated against a hurricane.
Quick injection, that hurricane, it'll see you go, whoa!
Steady on.
Not that, guys.
He's got a gain-of-function jab in the old armhole.
It'll whisk right by, won't it?
Go to Dorothy's house, whip her off, take her on the ride of a lifetime.
She comes back, totally new perspective on reality.
I've seen that line before somewhere.
Yeah, it seems a little spurious.
I mean, maybe there's more to it, but it feels like he's kind of saying, if you feel your colleague is talking about you behind your back, you know what you need to do.
Like, the things are getting less, I don't know, serious.
I don't know.
I'll tell you what it is.
Right, there's been a hurricane.
You're displaced.
It's all chaos.
Oh, well, at least you've had your vaccine.
But the other day, he was on the telly, wasn't he, at that car show.
He said, there's nothing to worry about.
Pandemic's over.
Make your mind up, Joe, is what I would say.
So, like, we talk about the mainstream media a lot on this show, and often we criticise them.
The reason we criticise them is because they are often funded by corporations, they give you biased information, they don't communicate with transparency and clarity, they'll bring out pundits to advocate for war without declaring, perhaps, that those pundits have affiliations with corporations like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon, companies that will specifically benefit from ongoing conflict, But in this instance we've got someone from the mainstream media who I would say is pretty committed to their work.
Let's have a look.
Alright, you know what?
I think I'm just gonna come in here for a second.
Like, it's pretty clear what the weather report is at that point, isn't it?
It's bloody windy.
Yeah.
Go in, mate.
You've done your job.
Yeah.
But he's well committed.
He says, give me a second, doesn't he?
Like, something's going to act massively change in a second.
I would say over the next second, conditions will continue.
Like, of course, all change is incremental on some level, but I'd say, well, let's check in one second, see what the weather's like in one second.
Go on, Gal.
You won't press that.
Oh, I have to do that, do I?
Because I've got the button.
Still quite fat.
Even the camera person cleaning the lens.
I reckon they're a good team over there.
Credit to them.
There's another news reporter similarly committed to conveying the news in a manner that's been observed and regarded by some as unusual.
Check her out.
A lot of you will have seen this.
Put it on.
Things are certainly picking up out here.
You're feeling that wind.
Like in this clip, she's not mentioning it, is it?
But that's very familiar.
That niblet, that teat, you only see that in one situation.
In one situation only.
Don't you?
It's a prophylactic.
Like, that's a very, that's iconic, that, that niblet.
That pipette.
That's like Mickey Mouse's ears.
You see that in silhouette, you'd know it anywhere.
Yeah.
So the idea that you can just have a prophylactic on a microphone like that and not be thinking, hmm, hello.
And also, I don't know if this is childish of me, Gal.
You tell me.
Probably not.
Probably not.
There's a moment, of course, where she would have had to have sort of been rolling it on.
Yeah.
She's coming kind of in bands right now.
Come on, time for the news.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And they're just sort of like, just rolling it down.
Well, she wouldn't have wanted it to split, would she?
No, careful.
Right, keep thinking about the hurricane.
Oh, no.
Oh, come on.
This is when it can go wrong.
Don't lose it now.
We're so close.
We're so close to doing the news.
Anyway, look, she just has to justify herself.
The scene is coming kind of in bands right now.
A lot of people are asking, what is on my microphone?
It is what you think it is.
It's a condom. It helps protect the gear.
Yeah, don't be childish.
Sometimes I put condoms in it.
So there you go.
People in the mainstream media so committed to the news and reporting the news.
And by the way, if you've been involved in that hurricane, if you've been personally affected by it, certainly you're not being frivolous, but it's terrifying, is it?
And awful and stuff like that.
So certainly commiserations to you if you're being negatively affected by it, but look at the way it's being reported.
Diligently by some, and I say oddly by Joe Biden.
Yeah, still 98% effective I would say.
There's still a 2% chance of some rain.
Still a 2% chance of some rain.
Creating some little microphone babies or something.
And what about that creamy stuff?
Eh?
Sometimes, once in a while, I feel strong feelings.
Then I write a letter in white ink.
A white letter made of love.
Now, what about the spermicide that's on this?
Just pretend that didn't happen.
What about the spermicide that's on the inside?
On the inside?
What happens to that?
Yeah, I would never... Right, who's got a condom on now?
I bet no one's got one, have ya?
Have ya?
What?
Have you got one?
I'm getting so furious.
Not that I don't want people to have unprotected sex, but like... Yeah, what's the message here?
Yeah, what is the message?
Get syphilis because it makes you a genius!
The fact that, whether it's being one of the best presidents, an abolitionist president, whether it's inventing new countries where I had no one else in them, being Beethoven, syphilis is the disease for you!
You could finish off Beethoven's Unfinished Symphony.
A little classical reference for you there.
You love classical music, don't you?
You love classical music so much, you must be pleased as punch that Lizzo, the classical musician, is bringing... what do you call it?
Floutism?
What is it if you're a floutist?
Yeah, well, she's a floutist, yeah.
She's a floutist.
People say flutist, but it is flutist.
They're wrong.
I don't care for the word floutist.
Because it's like you're flouting something.
Sure.
Like you're flouting your ability.
Yeah.
Like, you flout the law.
You're flouting the law!
Yeah.
That's what they flout.
But she'd been flouting James Madison's crystal pipe.
That's right.
Isn't it?
Yeah.
And like some people think that's a great thing that that's happened.
Yeah.
Other people, some people don't like it.
They think it's a disgrace, yeah.
Because, what, they want to protect the flaut?
Well, they just think it's a historical, you know, it's a very historical item and that they shouldn't just let her do it, play it.
In particular, Lizzo, or don't let no one play it?
I'm not sure, because we're getting to tricky territory at that point.
I say, if you're going to let anyone play Madison's flute, have a flautist do it.
Yeah.
And have one that's right in the charts and top of everyone's attention.
Right in the charts.
She's in the charts, isn't she, Lizzo?
You say so, yeah.
Do you want to see other historical artefacts tinkered with?
I think so.
This should start a trend, probably, shouldn't it?
Yeah, like, sort of like Jesse James' guns and stuff.
Like, get old stuff out, meddle with it.
Get down the, what's it called, Smithsonian?
Is that what they're into, the Americans?
Go down the Smithsonian, get it out, have a go of it.
What does it matter?
Bring history to life.
Let's have a look at Lizzo flouting like it's 1999.
I like it.
I like her flouting.
You?
Yeah, I like it.
You're of course a classical musician yourself, aren't you gal?
Yeah, I guess so.
Used to be.
Used to be?
I don't know, you always won forever.
Maybe you are.
I think so, yeah.
You're a French hornist, aren't you?
Yeah, that's right.
That's what you do.
Yeah.
Okay, so we've established some news agenda.
Like, some people don't like it that Lizzo done that, but I think it's good.
I liked watching her do that.
And what's his name, James Madison?
Yeah.
He's a legit founding father.
Yeah.
Although he did initially oppose the Bill of Rights.
Yeah.
And I feel like he might have had some slaves.
I think he did.
But yeah, then he did go on to compose the first drafts of the US Constitution.
Do you think James Madison's ghost is happy?
I think he's like, oh, my flute's still getting a little blow.
Yeah.
Or is he like, what a... Hey!
What the hell are you doing?
Yeah.
Or is he like, he's moved with... Has James Madison's ghost moved with the times?
Well... Or is James Madison's ghost up there like, what the fuck, we worked so hard!
Not as hard as Middley and the slaves, but we worked pretty hard!
And we did get paid and they didn't, but we worked, and it's not why we worked so hard!
We've just got to work out what James Madison's ghost want.
Let us know in the chat, let us know in the comments.
Is it time for us to move into some deeper territory?
Could do.
We have told you some of the stuff that's going on in the mainstream media.
We've told you that.
We've given you a right sideways look at the situation.
We've even told you that when you comment, and let's have a look at some of those comments now, when you comment and you make those donations, we give them donations for the Stay Free Foundation.
For example, Patriot Sheen.
Who is Russell When has Russell promoted one religion?
I've heard him say many times, whatever you believe in.
That's right, I don't mind.
Yeah, I don't mind what religion you are.
I think it's all a journey to a unitary force.
So if he's a Muslim, or a Christian, or you're a secular person, or you're Jewish, or you're Hindu, or you don't have no religion at all, I think it's just important to somehow embody and transmit love, and recognize that all of these things that we externally identify, corruption, selfishness, they're within us also.
The things that we talk about in these systems, they have passed through the human psyche.
This is why it's a problem to have a figure like Bill Gates, who's... around whom so much power has coalesced.
You might not know this about Bill Gates, I bet you do, because you're so clever and well-informed.
Probably because of the news that you watch, our news.
Did you know that the Gates Foundation has made 300 million dollars of donations to media funding projects?
Things like NBC and MSNBC and The Atlantic, which is a pretty good... I once read in The Atlantic an article about... Every time I hear The Atlantic, I always want to say they're good.
Do you know what it is?
You want to defend it, don't you?
They wrote something about me once, and it was good.
Someone in there said, he's so charismatic, it's almost like a disability.
When I read that, I thought...
I like that.
I'd go along with that.
I like it.
It's like a disability.
I thought, good.
So, alright, because a lot of you might not like the Atlantic or whatever, but it is weird that Bill Gates is giving them donations, because whatever MSNBC is, he isn't a charity, is he?
No.
They're not like going out there, sort of, I don't know, you know when the oil is on a bird, a cormorant?
Oh yeah.
They're not doing that, are they?
No, no, they're not doing that.
They see a cormorant covered in oil, they'll film it.
God, they'll film it.
Rachel Maddow will come out and go, like, oh, whatever, I should have a view.
But they ain't going to do nothing about it.
Anyway, $300 million Bill Gates was given to funding media companies, $38 million to training journalists.
And we've got this amazing story for you because, of course, Bill Gates says that America's on the precipice of civil war.
But who benefits when we are culturally divided?
Who benefits when some people are saying, Lizzo shouldn't be touching that bloody flute!
And others are saying, oh, it's the biggest breakthrough in history that she is touching that flute.
When we identify excessively with these cultural issues, does it, you tell me, tell me in the chat right now, does it distract us from Here's the news.
And where is that power?
Let's have a look at this story with a little more depth in a...
Yeah, should we get into it?
Yeah, we should get into it.
Because there's that corn stuff.
I'm gonna get into it because I'm on a roll now.
Should we get into it?
We'll do corn later.
We'll do corn later because we've had enough with the corn, man.
Yeah, let's get into this.
I like to call...
Here's the news.
No!
Here's the fucking news.
Here's the news.
No, here's the fucking news.
Bill Gates says we are on the precipice of a civil war.
But what kind of influence does Bill Gates have over it, given the amount of sway he has over the mainstream media?
And do the rich elites of which he is part benefit from it?
Let's get into today's story.
Many of you will have seen or at least heard that Bill Gates has said that America is on the precipice of civil war, that polarisation will reach the point where there are hung parliaments and it's impossible to implement power and that it will lead to social breakdown.
We contest that Bill Gates has more power than any nation.
Certainly than any government.
That governments will come and go, Democrat, Republican, and Bill Gates' power will remain largely unimpeded.
We also ask, what is the role and nature of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the donations in particular that they make to media organizations and organizations that train journalists?
We'll touch upon, too, his role in Indian agriculture and the impact that he's had on it, for good or for ill.
Bill Gates is worried about domestic polarisation in the US.
Well, is he though?
Is he?
I'm ever so worried about that.
Because remember when he was worried about that pandemic?
He's made a fortune out of it.
Allegedly.
Which he sees little hope for in the short term.
I admit that political polarisation may bring it all to an end.
We're going to have a hung election and a civil war, he said.
Political polarisation, says Gates, goes hand in hand with another issue,
the spread of misinformation.
Now, we couldn't be more sensitive to misinformation on this channel because, as you know, we've had one YouTube strike for misinformation and a lifelong warning.
But Whose misinformation is the most deadly misinformation?
Is it mainstream media misinformation, which in my view could lead to all sorts of complications?
For example, if you believe the misinformation that vaccines are 100% effective or 90% effective and stop the spread, as alleged by Rachel Maddow on this MSNBC clip.
The vaccines work well enough that the virus stops with every vaccinated person.
Or contrasted with genuine mistakes to which we've owned up and immediately corrected.
I cannot use a vaccinated person as a host to go get more people.
How does the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation spend its money?
And while I'm telling you this, why don't you, in your own mind, that God gave you, determine what the intention could be of this expenditure?
While other billionaires' media empires are relatively well known, the extent to which Bill Gates' cash underwrites the modern media landscape is not.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has made over $300 million worth of donations to fund media projects.
Recipients of this cash include many of America's most important news outlets, including CNN, NBC, NPR, PBS, and The Atlantic.
Now, I don't know whether you like those organizations or don't like those organizations.
I've read things in The Atlantic, for example, that I've really enjoyed, and I've probably seen things on CNN over the years that I've really enjoyed.
But what I do know, it's not charities, are they?
It's not like an endangered panda, is it?
Brian Stelter is not an endangered species.
Oh, my God, I'll only eat bamboo.
It makes me very vulnerable.
These are businesses!
Why would you give money to a business?
It's not like a plucky little shoeshine boy or a little match girl trying to make a break in the world.
These are large media organisations.
Why are the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation making donations?
And are these donations always transparent and are you always aware When you are consuming content that's come from that organisation and are therefore able to assess what biases may be embedded in it.
Bear that in mind because in a minute we're going to read you something from the Indian Times that's going to knock your little socks off.
Gates also sponsors a myriad of influential foreign organisations.
Gates continues to underwrite a wide network of investigative journalism centres as well, totalling just over 38 million dollars.
The foundation also puts up the money to directly train journalists all over the world in the form of scholarships, courses and workshops.
Now that looks like a type of philanthropy doesn't it?
But later on we're going to be talking about philanthropy and where that philanthropy ends up and the nature of that philanthropy.
You'll be astonished to learn that some of these foundations from the outside appear little more than untaxed bank accounts with no legislative commitment to spending that money on anything philanthropic at all.
You're going to love that.
We'll be talking about that in Stay Free in a minute.
But for now, let's jump into the times of India.
In a little unbiased piece of mainstream media called, What Bill Gates thinks the world can learn from India.
Well, some of you will be aware that India has gone through some pretty significant and radical social engineering lately, amounting to, some would say, the annihilation of their agriculture in order to implement ideas and technologies that don't fit in with the way that their country has traditionally been run.
Many people will make the argument, of course, oh, this is progress, AI and technology will save the world, and certainly there are situations where that is evidently, plainly true, or at least it's advantageous to more than just the people that own those organisations.
But in the case of India, the suicides, the devastation, it would seem that there are two sides at least to that conversation.
Let's ensure that both of those sides are heard.
Beading up progress towards a healthier, fairer and more prosperous world depends on commitment and innovation.
Innovation means technology and commitment means do as you're told.
You'll be astonished to learn that this piece in the Times of India is not just written by some journalist Some plucky little journalist who just wants to tell the truth.
It just says, the writer is the co-chair and trustee of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Don't even say their name!
All you need to know about me is I'm trustworthy.
I'm a trustee.
You can trustee me.
Also, an important idea is tagged here, and that is the idea of progress.
That is the myth that we have, that we're progressing somewhere as a culture.
That countries like India, they need to move forward.
Why ain't you got enough iPhones for?
Ain't you even got no X-factor?
The idea that there's a place that we're heading and we're going to reach it through technology, ingenuity and materialism.
India, under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, has made great strides in implementing many initiatives that show promise for accelerating progress towards Sustainable Development Goals.
Now these Sustainable Development Goals is a new sort of metric for evaluating progress, I suppose.
But who determines what those measurements are?
The country's upcoming G20 presidency provides an opportunity for Indian leaders to sharpen the world's focus on health and development issues and share lessons and innovations that can improve and save lives.
For me, that sounds like by capitulating to a globalist agenda, India can be used as a kind of poster boy for this new progressive Great Reset-esque ideology.
Another area worth emulating is India's comprehensive approach to digital technology.
Progress in this area can help address many of the world's challenges from pandemic recovery, vaccines, poverty, give us all your data, to lack of access to medical care, vaccines.
India has used digitisation to transform healthcare as well.
Many of you were concerned about the overreach of big tech and their ability to implement social credit score So all of this unbiased stuff about progress and innovation and what India's got to do and don't worry about the suicides was written by someone anonymously that we only know is a trustee of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
time, let me know in the chat, let me know in the comments what your feelings are about
this agenda, do you think it's real?
So all of this unbiased stuff about progress and innovation and what India's got to do
and don't worry about the suicides was written by someone anonymously that we only know is
a trustee of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, so bear that in mind with what you know about
Bill Gates' influence on the media and about him saying that the world is entering a phase
Does he benefit from that ideology?
Does Bill Gates and the agenda that he represents benefit from people being divided and turned against one another on cultural lines?
Ask yourself that question.
To respond to this, we turn to Vandana Shiva, longtime friend of this channel, friend of the show.
We've got a great conversation with Vandana Shiva coming up on Stay Free with Russell Brand.
If you join Stay Free AF, there's already a conversation that I've had with her.
She appeared live at Community last year.
She's appearing live at Community next year, if we still have a planet by then.
So you can join us if you want to.
Let's see what she says about the digitization of agriculture and the application of these technologies in an area where she's an expert.
And ask yourself the question, who knows more about India?
Vandana Shiva, an Indian woman who happens to be an expert in quantum physics, agriculture and activism, or Bill Gates?
Gates Ag One is one type of agriculture for the whole world, organised top down.
This includes digital farming, in which farmers are surveilled and mined for their agricultural data, which is then repackaged and sold back to them.
This is a way of taking ordinary, independent, empowered agricultural workers and farm owners and turning them into tools of a centralised agenda via the promise, as always, Of convenience and ease through AI and technology.
Let me know what you think in the comments.
Let me know what you think in the chat.
It all stems from an overreaching theme of arrogance and the desire for recolonization and a global empire.
The idea is to imply or create the environment in which survival isn't possible without technology.
They're making us dependent upon them.
How many times have you seen that narrative play out in colonialism and imperialism?
They change the farming practices.
They change the local customs.
They mess with the systems that are in place.
And all of a sudden, you are dependent upon your imperialist masters.
If you look beyond the models of nationalism and towards one of globalism, you can see that the same thing's being applied right now through centralized big tech power.
We're becoming dependent on them.
And if you think I'm joking, just remember how you felt last time you left your house without your phone.
It's a denial of the richness of agroecological knowledges and practices that are resurging around the world.
The good news is people all over the world are learning how to farm the land again.
New systems of animal husbandry, or arcane ones, emerging again.
Knowledge of actually, if people were to localise their food sources, much of the unnecessary trade, much of the unnecessary centralised power could be limited.
Tech giants in an effort to drive home digital agriculture are working to reduce life to software while advancing digital surveillance systems.
Here, Vandana Shiva tags the broader point that a human being is more than just information.
A human being is more than just material.
But there is something sacred, something spiritual.
You cannot be reduced to data points.
There is something mystical.
There is a ghost in the machine.
There is a Holy Spirit.
There is hope.
We cannot allow centralized tech authorities to turn us into just a list of binary code.
We cannot allow powerful tech giants who are essentially modern-day sovereigns, empires, tyrants, kings astride the globe, unable to be regulated, Free to do whatever they want, free to travel the world, beyond nation, to have so much power that the needs and requirements of ordinary people are neglected.
In the stream we're going to have a look in more detail at foundations and what foundations really mean and where that revenue actually goes and what the obligations are when people say We're going to give billions to this person and that person.
We're going to have a deeper look at it.
I'll leave you with this thought.
Do you think we're on the brink of a civil war because we have a media landscape that continually highlights the fractures, fissures, gaps and conflict between people instead of pointing out that if we come together as one, If we return to an ancient understanding of the world while implementing technology sensibly, not just for profit, we could reorganize our future individually and collectively.
Is that ever going to be possible with the media the way it is, funded in the way it is, and with global tyrants like Bill Gates in the position they are?
Let me know in the comments.
Let me know in the chats.
I'll be answering your questions in a minute.
See you in a second!
For example, Liberty Centrist.
Philanthropy.
A way for the rich to launder their reputations and garner yet more power to themselves.
Yeah, how can they call it philanthropy?
They've got to look at a definition of that.
You're spot on there, mate.
WVMTS.
Bill Gates uses philanthropy as a cover to enrich himself and his cronies.
I bet he's got, I bet he has got cronies, WVMTS as well, and forward a globalist agenda.
He has no regard for average people.
Ugh, them average people.
He sees himself in a class far above the rest of us.
And then Breejam79 says, uh, Sadguru versus Bill Gates cage match.
I don't think either of them are going to do that.
Like, Sadguru's a holy Indian mystic, and Bill Gates is a nerd.
Could you tempt him, do you think, of a word?
Which one?
You want me to don king this?
You want me to don king this?
You want me to promote this thing?
Make it happen?
Give the people what they want.
You want Bill Gates and Sad Guru to brawl in a cage?
I'll do it for you.
If that's what you want.
I've got Sad Guru's number.
These are not people that are easy to manipulate.
Because one's a billionaire and the other one is Sad Guru.
But if that's what you want, that's what will happen.
Bezholiab facts.
Many of the so-called foundations nowadays are little more than untaxed bank accounts for the founder.
Not genuine philanthropy.
Okay, so, Gareth, you've got some information on this, haven't you?
And by the way, before we leap into it, Vandana Shiva there, who articulates such a beautiful response to Bill Gates, as she does, the great matriarch that she is, will be appearing at the community festival Next year, as she did this year, there's a link in the chat if you want to come and join us for that day.
Wim Hof, Vandana Shiva, a wonderful free day event we did one day last time.
I'll tell you more about it a little bit later.
Now let's dive a bit more deeply, Gal, into these foundations and what they're up to and see if the people in our chat are right with their cynical appraisal.
Yeah, our educated viewers are not wrong at all.
So Gates the other day was speaking at the Forbes 400 Philanthropy Summit.
What was he doing there?
Well, this is where he spoke about civil war, but he also talked about giving billions of dollars away to the foundation, which he plans to wrap up in 25 years.
So we thought we'd look into foundations specifically here.
Can I ask you something, right off the bat?
Yeah, of course you can.
If you think that there's going to be a civil war and a whole society's going to shut down, how come you've still got your foundation for 25 years?
Yeah, that's a good point.
Shut it down now.
Yeah, now's the time, isn't it?
Unless he thinks it's going to take 25 more years.
I'd say it's about 25 more years.
He's good at predicting stuff though, Ross.
He's good at predicting.
I remember when he predicted if I was going to get a terrible cough, started working on the medicine, and sure as eggs is egg, terrible cough come round.
There you go.
Oh, hold on for a sec.
Allegedly!
Yeah.
Alright, so a decade ago Bill Gates and Warren Buffett organised the Giving Pledge to inspire their fellow billionaires to donate more money to charity.
There's nothing in the pledge that specifies what exactly the donations will be used for, or even whether they are to be made now or willed after death.
It's just a general commitment to using private wealth for ostensibly public good.
It's not legally binding either, but a moral commitment.
I don't think that should be allowed, right?
Because say if I went... I'll tell you what, I'm not going to pay no tax.
I'm keeping me money.
But, down the line, you have my word as a gentleman that I'm going to do all sorts of favours with that.
I'm talking little old ladies that's going to get helped out.
Sweet little kids running down the street, chasing a hoop or whatever.
I'm going to help them.
It's just a general pledge.
That's it.
Yeah.
How come the super-rich billionaires are allowed to make a general pledge and avoid tax?
But, well, average people, and I'm going to pull you up on this WVMTS.
Nobody's average, baby.
You're special.
You're part of the divine.
You're an expression of the limitless divinity.
You ain't average at all.
But I know what you mean.
Bill Gates up there in his ivory tower, riding around in his eyehorse.
So, yeah, in 2010, the first group of billionaires announced their intention to give away over half their wealth to charity.
Over the last decade, they've been joined by many more.
A decade later, billionaire wealth has increased by 95%.
They'd pledged to give half away.
Instead, their wealth has nearly doubled, which is the opposite, isn't it?
It's the opposite.
We're going to give away half our money.
So you'll have half as much money then.
Actually, twice as much.
Hold on a minute.
What's the coup?
What's the coup?
Explain it.
Explain it.
Yeah, that's crafty, isn't it?
Bill Gates' wealth went up 33% during the pandemic.
Just as a coincidence.
So the more... What?
How much?
33% to 130 billion.
Ooh, 33, as you know, my lucky number.
No, I'm not in the Illuminati.
Save it.
I'm not a 33rd degree Mason.
When am I going to have the time to become a Mason?
There's all sorts of things.
So, 33% wealth increase during the pandemic.
That's right.
I don't think that's right, all of that wealth transfer during the pandemic.
Let me know in the chat how it makes you feel to know that some of the people that were in those sort of central, influential positions during the pandemic, that were making all those suggestions.
Remember, like, Bill Gates, I don't think he's got a degree in medicine, but he was right up there, wasn't he, telling you what tablets to have.
Oh, this'll be good.
Try one of them.
Not that one, that one.
Can we make them over in Africa?
Don't be ridiculous.
You'll nauseate up.
You don't know how to make medicines in Africa.
We're not giving you our patents, innit?
I'm paraphrasing, but that's basically... But we will give you the patents for Korn.
Oh, is that what he's up to?
Well, that's what Vandana was saying, wasn't she?
Go on.
We'll get on to Korn in a bit, maybe.
Do you want to talk more about Korn?
I like talking about corn, Gal.
I've got absolutely... If you think that you can flummox me by suddenly mentioning corn, I'll tell you that you cannot.
Because I know what you're going to say is that Bill Gates has done a land grab and he now owns more farmland than Ronald McDonald, Farmer Giles, Paul Bunyan and all conceivable agriculturists combined.
He loves a bit of farmland and he did that thing, that ghouling thing where he did that corn thing, didn't he?
Do you want to see it?
Yeah, have a look, have a look.
This is what we're talking about in case you don't know.
Bill Gates doing something weird.
For me, I really like corn.
What do you like about corn?
I don't think that should have happened and that you shouldn't do that.
And if you've got that much money, you shouldn't be allowed to be so bloody silly.
There's another side to this corn business, isn't there?
Yeah, so this is all basically about synthetic corn.
What he refers to in the video is more resilient corn, by which we think he means synthetic corn.
So, uh, synthetic corn, which would be using Western science and technology, but then it becomes what Vandana was talking about, is what about the patents for this corn, and who owns those patents?
Right.
So the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa, which represents more than 200 million farmers, um...
and others across five African countries holds that agro-archaeology is what the continent needs, small-scale
eco-friendly cultivation methods using indigenous knowledge which goes
directly against this kind of Western science and technology that Gates is pushing.
Yes, decentralized models where people have access to the utilities that they well understand, power to run
our own communities,
power to grow our own food.
Power to run our own democracies.
Not increasingly centralised and inaccessible resources, whether they are political resources or food resources.
Big food, big pharma, big media.
These are the things we've got to look out for, innit?
Gal, I've got an exciting thing to tell you.
Go on.
We have joining us a guest, a significant guest, a guest where every syllable of her name makes me more excited than the previous one.
I'm talking about Batya Angarsagan, who's the deputy editor of Newsweek.
She's the author of the book, How Woke Media is Undermining Democracy, and she is here with us.
Batya, thanks for joining us on our show.
How are you today?
Oh my gosh, I'm so honored to be here in your first week.
I've been watching the show for a couple weeks now and it's so great and I'm just so excited to be here with you and with your audience of spiritual skeptics.
Thank you so much for having me.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for joining us and I want to ask you a question because at the moment it's literally my job.
Here is that question.
How is media objectivity compromised by corporate interests Broadly, Batya, we're talking about how Bill Gates has made about $300 million worth of donation, or at least the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has.
What type of biases is that likely to instantiate?
And as a journalist, how have you encountered this sort of compromise induced by them kind of practices?
Right, so it's a great question.
I'm gonna a little bit disagree with maybe the more conspiratorial take or version of this.
I don't think he's really controlling the news because I think what's happening is much more unconscious.
The reason that the news is the way that it is right now has a lot more to do with the incentives of digital media
and the class of people who now become journalists.
Essentially the kind of person who can become a journalist today has to come from money
or from the elites and go to a very elite institution.
And the business model of digital media is based on engagement, which means that outlets
cater to their most extreme readers and viewers because those are the most engaged ones
and that's how they monetize.
So to me, it's much more about the class solidarity between the kinds of elites who can go into the news media
and then somebody like Bill Gates, where the thing that unites them
is not how much money they have, but a kind of point of view that sets them apart
from the vast majority of regular people, working class people, middle class people.
And the real divide, the way that I see it is not between left and right,
because left and right working class and middle class Americans are actually not that polarized.
The real divide is between people who believe in autonomy, who believe that regular people should have the right
to say more or less within reason what happens in their lives.
And then people like Bill Gates and then people who go to very, very fancy universities
who believe that they know what's best for everybody else and they should have the right to impose it.
Thanks, Batya.
Gareth, you've got a question, you might...
You're talking about the kind of class of people that become journalists.
Does the kind of way that Bill Gates funds journalism have anything to do with that?
Right, so I think that it has a lot more to do with something that happened within journalism over the last 50 years to where there was a status revolution among journalists in America, actually in the UK as well.
It's more extreme in the UK.
So 50 years ago, the kind of person who became a journalist was really, you know, a working class person.
You didn't need a college degree to become a journalist.
It was considered a very low status trade, not really an elite job.
Today, it's a very elite It pays really, really low in the beginning, which means that if you're going to live in New York and become a journalist, somebody has to pay your rent for you.
And then as you get further and further along in the industry, you make more and more money.
And to me, you know, here's the thing.
Okay, here's where you might disagree with me.
But to me, it seems like the kind of people become journalists, just like Bill Gates.
They're not like evil Knievels.
They're not sitting there going, hey, we're going to consolidate all the money and all the power.
And we're gonna have all the money and the power and everybody else is gonna be poor and living, you know, on our generosity if we decide to dole it out.
They're not like that.
What they are are people who have allowed themselves to believe that people who disagree with them on certain issues are evil and deserve to be deplatformed, deserve to have their votes taken away from them, deserve not to get to choose what to eat or what to farm.
They will tell them what to eat.
They will tell them what kind of car to drive.
What I'm trying to say is, They have hoarded resources and then they justify that by hoarding their sort of morality, their virtues, what they see as virtue, and then imposing that on the people whose resources they've taken from them in the name of that virtue.
So it's like a little bit less evil, but the reason I'm making that distinction is because I think this should give people hope because we still have the power to say no to that, you know?
The problem with Bill Gates is not that he's a billionaire.
The problem is that he can use his billions to buy power and influence.
The thing is with Bill Gates is that he has such extraordinary power.
He has such incredible influence in the field of agriculture.
He's made these donations in media.
He's had this impact on farming in India that's, in the words of Vandana Shiva, contributed to sort of like... genocide is much too strong a word, but sort of 10,000 suicides is a pretty significant figure.
I know that there's this sort of opacity, it's concealed by bureaucracy, it seems somehow anodyne and sanitised, but I don't feel that we can allow that to, what do I want to say, mitigate the Powerful negativity of these figures, and even like the way these foundations operate, you know, like me, what Gareth and I were discussing just then, the way that they negate, they negate, they contribute in to the society that they have this undue influence upon.
You know, like, the avoidance or evasion of tax.
You know, like, so, I don't... I don't agree that there's, like, any robes involved.
You know what I mean?
Robes and marduk, the owl, or, like, uh, ceremonies or that kind of stuff.
And I don't think it's helpful to get distracted by that stuff, personally.
But I do think we're talking about power that transcends democracy, power that transcends nation, power that can't be checked, that for most people, ordinary people, is inaccessible.
You can't do anything about it.
And I understand how conspiracies emerge because that amount of power oughtn't be accrued in a democracy.
I guess that's what I'm saying.
The reaches of it are so vast.
And also, it's quite difficult to track.
It's not being reported on accurately.
There's no transparency around it.
I guess that's what I'm saying, Batya.
Okay, so let me give you one potentially counter example, and you'll tell me if you think that's compelling.
So just like, let's take the media, okay?
So nobody has ever come to me from management and said, look, Bill Gates gave us this money.
Actually, I don't think he gave Newzik any money.
But I promise you, nobody has gone to anybody who works at NBC and said, Bill Gates gave us this money.
We have to report this story in this way.
The problem is they don't need to because the class incentives are already there to make the media report in a certain way.
But he's not actually influencing the direction of the reporting, except maybe at an unconscious level way.
And more importantly, and this is the point I really want to know what you think about, The American people are just saying no to the media across the board right now.
There's a mass consumer boycott underway, which is why people are tuning into amazing shows like yours, because they don't trust the media anymore, meaning they've taken their power back.
They've said, we know we don't hate our fellow Americans just because they vote for a different party.
We know that's stupid.
We're not going to allow somebody to get rich off making us hate our fellow Americans.
We're just not going to watch CNN anymore, right?
So meaning even if he wanted to be, even if the reason he gave the money to the media outlets was to direct the news, he failed.
Yes, that's a good point, Bhatia.
Certainly what it suggests to me is that we need to establish new systems of communication, new systems of activism.
New means to control our own lives.
It's almost as if there is an atrophying system that's trying to keep itself animated through corruption, preventing us gaining access through traditional democratic means.
Whether it's because we have a Congress awash with lobbying money and Congress people that own stocks and shares in the companies that they're meant to regulate, or whether it's these Globalist organisations like the WEF and WHO, to which Bill Gates, or the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation are the second largest donors.
Or a media class that will not report accurately, not as you say, because of an explicit agenda, but because of a kind of cultural affiliation.
With this deracinated, what do I want to call it, neoliberalist, hollow, empty, nihilistic, soulless, I don't know what I want to call it, but I feel like that they are no longer in the service of people.
That aspect of your analysis I completely agree with.
And I feel like whether it's new media, like the media that we're practicing in, or new forms of democracy, new forms of protest, I feel you're right.
I feel that that is the future.
And I also feel that we as individuals have to undertake a process of personal awakening, and we have to be sort of willing to overlook exactly the kind of cultural and political divisions that we're being invited to divide ourselves along.
I think we have to be willing to look to one another openly and lovingly.
So yeah, there's loads in what you've said there.
Bacha, thank you so much for joining us on the show.
I wonder if you will be a regular contributor to our little show here at Stay Free Media.
I wonder if you'll do podcasts and stuff like that with us.
Will you help us out?
I would love to.
I would so love to.
And I'll just throw this last line in because I wanted to say this listening to the first hour of the show.
You know, I think the most important thing to take away, the thing I take away, is when the elites tell us that we're polarized, that civil war is coming, you know, that Americans have never been this partisan or at each other's throats, the correct response is, you wish Because that's how they get their power, and I'm so thrilled to be here with you.
Thank you so much for having me and for what you're doing to remind us all how much more unites us than divides us.
Thank you, Batya.
Thanks for coming on here.
It's so lovely to get your time and attention, and thank you for your take.
That's fantastic.
Hey, you lot.
Do you know, or you should do, because I've told you already, that in addition to our work online here, which we enjoy, we love the opportunity to communicate with you live, keep commenting in the chat.
I'm seeing what you're saying there.
I know that a lot of you are really cynical about anyone that has any affiliation or involvement with any form of mainstream media at all.
And I can completely understand that, because you've been lied to for a long while.
It's understandable that you'll be cynical and sceptical, but Batya, I think she's a great journalist, and I think she's a sort of, I think, I think she's an open person.
I really enjoy her work and her writing.
Listen, I really would love you to join us if you can.
If you're in the United States of America, it would involve a little bit of travel.
If you're here in our country, why, it would be a breeze for you to join us at Community 2023, a three-day event where Wim Hof Vandana Shiva, who we've been sighting throughout the show today, and also Eckhart Tolle.
I'm going to try and get him to come along and do some meditations and stuff with us.
He's a hard person.
It's like, if you're trying to get Sad Guru to have a fight with Bill Gates, it's difficult to organise.
Similar with Eckhart Tolle.
Even if you want him to contribute in a three-day festival in Hay-on-Wye in Great Britain, which we're doing next year.
There's a link in the description, a link in the chat, if you want to join us for that.
Also, you did bother him quite a lot at one point, didn't you?
A mistake was made.
I got Eckhart Tolle's phone number to just interview him, but then I thought, I've got Eckhart Tolle's phone number now, so I just called him whenever I wanted.
And that's quite a lot, because I've got a lot of problems.
So I was always ringing Eckhart Tolle.
Eckhart!
Help me!
I'm down in the dunk!
Why are you calling me?
What is it this time?
You said there's no such thing as time, Eckhart!
With this three day event and with all of the merchandise that we sell, remember it all goes to the State Free Foundation.
So in the chat you can have a look and get yourself a fancy new t-shirt with my little boat race all over it.
You don't use it for tax evasion, do you Ross?
Huh?
You don't use it for tax evasion.
I also... I... The Stay Free Foundation mostly... It's a way to evade tax, essentially.
I keep that there.
No, we give it to drug addicts and mentally ill people.
Like you lot.
Not donating to the WHO?
Not donating to the WHO?
Well, I've got to have some influence at WHO.
Elsewise, how am I to sell me medicines?
I predict Miss Monkeypox is going to get pretty bad.
And that's why I've got a lovely unduant.
You run that all up and down your wrists so you won't get no bubble wrap disease up and down your boss names.
So, uh, no, no, I don't.
The Stay Free Foundation, we're going to have it totally transparent.
We're going to spend every single penny of it on nutters and junkies.
That's our target.
We've got to help them nutters and we've got to help them junkies.
We've got to get them well.
Okay, so it's time now for our little item called Fake Comments.
There he is, old Donald.
God love him.
So, first, what are we going to look at first here?
Oh, is this this geezer on that big slide?
It is.
Alice Love to Rumble has sent us a cute clip from Michigan.
Let's have a look.
I see this earlier.
Have a look at this guy.
Now what I'd like you to do is just listen very carefully.
To the vocal expressions that this man makes.
He's another good journalist.
This is a reliable mainstream journalist.
There's no way this reporting isn't authentic.
Listen to him go down... Is it the world's longest slide?
No, it's just a giant slide.
It's just a giant slide at Bell Island Park, Detroit, Michigan.
I would say if you've got hemorrhoids, don't go down a slide.
Let's have a look at the guy.
Oh, it's really putting him through his paces, that, isn't it?
I liked hearing that.
Do you know what you want to know?
So it was closed only four hours after it opened, initially, because it was so fast that kids were being chucked right into the air, apparently.
Right up in the air?
Right in the air.
Up they go, in the air.
Yeah, and so one part of the people testing it to see if it should be reopened was that fellow, which I don't think was a ringing endorsement, was it?
Well, he looked like he was shitting himself.
Like, it really took its toll on his bum.
There's one bit, like, can we just look at it one more time, please?
Because, right, look, let's watch it.
Let's break this down in real time.
Go.
Press play.
Right, now he's fine at the moment.
He's handling that.
There!
That's where he's starting to mess him up there.
Oh God!
Oh God!
That's enough!
Close this slide!
This is a death trap!
Like, don't you ever been down, like... Have you ever been down them slides you can do, where it's like, you can have them at a war park, or you know, there's a place near me, Odds Farm, right?
It's just like, they've got animals there or whatever.
Sheep, cows, them guys.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, animals.
Animals.
But not good ones.
Right.
Not like, oh my God, an orangutan.
Tiger.
Look at you, mate!
Like, ones where they look at you from another dimension.
Like, I'd kill you if I wanted to.
Like, you'd think, I respect you, sir.
Sheer calm.
The passive ones.
Yeah, like, you're basically my dinner.
I'm only not killing you because I'm vegan.
I'd slap ya.
Don't hurt me, boss!
Don't hurt me!
Have a nibble on one of my limbs if you want, boss!
Well, also at Odds Farm, they got, like, they got slides.
I'm telling you, they're for children.
You just get off it and fall basically down a hole.
It's like that.
It's like that, gal.
By the way, that's not... I've not gone right-wing.
I'm just demonstrating a slide.
I've not got swept up in it like, hey!
That guy back in the 1930s!
This is to combat the batch of stuff, isn't it?
Like, there's a slide that's basically, like, you get off the top and you just basically fall.
Like, that is so scary.
I can't believe children are allowed to do it.
Well, with this one, they say that it was closed down because kids were being flung in the air.
Yeah.
And then they said they wanted, they needed to slow it down.
I don't understand, how would they, how would you slow that down?
Isn't it just, it's just the slide?
Polish!
Right, they polished it.
Isn't it?
Because, like, that one down on his farm is one of them.
They polished it so much, they polished it to an unacceptable degree.
People were like, whoosh!
Down the end, you sort of smash into the end of the thing.
This is just one I had to go off in my gut.
What happened was, it was school holidays, so I tried to create a world of wonder for my kids and that, trying to keep them happy.
Do you know what I mean?
You've got, um... I believe truth in the future.
Oh, yeah.
So, like, I've got this slide.
So here I am on this slide, and I believe I have a lot more dignity than that journalist.
Let's have a look and see if I'm correct.
Dignity.
Dignity, that's what that is.
Here he goes.
Yeah, let's see me slow down.
I'm glad those shorts weren't much buggier.
I feel like... Am I wearing the same shirt?
I think that I look pretty composed, as a matter of fact.
And how's the other members of the team?
Is this team building exercise?
Yeah, this is people that make the show.
Youngsters, get them through the foundation, get them trained up.
Joe Biden does most of our recruitment.
Alright, so let's have a look.
What's next, Soobs?
So Carly T sent us another clip with Biden.
Oh yeah, what's he done now?
He's been with Elton.
Yeah, let's have a look at this.
Let's have a look at Elton John.
One of the, in a sense, he is, as he calls himself, the sort of unofficial Queen Mother.
Yeah.
Let's have a look at what Biden's got to say about Elton John, our greatest national treasure over here in the UK.
By the way, it's all his fault that we're spending $6 billion in taxpayer money this month to help AIDS fight HIV AIDS.
I don't think he can blame Elton John for that.
I mean, I know he had a crazy time in the 70s.
Is Joe Biden trying to blame Elton John for all AIDS?
There was a worried look on Elton John's face until the very end of that sentence.
Who, by the way, is the cousin of this guy?
Yeah, you can talk, mate.
Have a look at your kid's laptop.
That's at least part of the problem.
Yeah, that's interesting, because obviously what it is is that Elton John backs initiatives to support people suffering from HIV and AIDS and that.
Strange phrase to go in with it's all this guy's fault. It's the wrong phrase
Let's have a look again because you can't trust this dude with this stuff
Can you and then let's have a look as well after this?
Let's have a look at him once again failing to get off a stage
So I'm just gonna like this have a look at him just do this phrasing again
Concerned we're spending six billion dollars in taxpayer money this what to help age. Oh
Oh, bless him.
He's so sweet.
He's trying his hardest.
Poor old Joe Biden there, Elton John, just studying his medal, trying to get through the situation.
Let's have a look at this moment earlier where, again, Joe Biden failed to make his way off the stage.
How long is he on these stages that he forgets how he got there?
Yeah.
I mean, you're only up there ten minutes, aren't you?
Most of you would have seen this, maybe, but there he is.
He's up on a stage.
Let's check it out.
His wife, pleased.
Right, come on this way.
She's showing him as well.
It's this way, mate.
Why does he turn round at that point?
Yeah, there's no point in turning round.
No, just follow your wife.
He's took matters in his own hands there, hasn't he?
She's going, Joe, it's this way.
Look, before it, they've gone, Joe, look, you've got terrible previous when it comes to getting off stage.
So this time, to make sure there's no issues at all, I'm going to literally lead you by the hand.
Fuck that.
No one tells Joe what to do.
I'm the president around here.
I'm president.
I'm going this way, baby.
I'll make my own choices!
Yeah, that's the problem.
He shouldn't have turned around.
He should have stayed on track, man.
That is in trouble.
Let's see.
Uh-oh.
No, no, she was right.
She was right.
I'm going man!
I can't even use my legs and I'm beating him!
What's the guy in white doing though?
Shouldn't he be helping the president?
What, the admiral?
Yeah, the admiral.
Richard Gere.
What's he doing?
He's an officer and a gentleman.
He could have picked Joe Biden up.
Carried him!
Like Richard Gere, couldn't he?
Would have been nice.
Way to go, Joe!
Way to go!
And if you've watched Officer and a Gentleman, you'll know that's pretty close to the sort of stuff they say.
Well, is it time for us to wrap up the show now?
But I've got so much more to say.
I've got so much more to offer.
Well, you know there's a chance to say other stuff.
Do you know this doesn't have to end here?
You can, like, of course, we stream.
Do you know we stream every single day?
Every single day at five we'll be here.
Tell your friends, tell your enemies, tell your mother, tell your father, tell everyone you've ever met.
Tomorrow's show we're talking about Congress and the banks and the revolving door between Congress and the banks.
You'd love that, wouldn't ya?
Plus we've got, like, a union official coming on here to, like, talk to us about, sort of, The British Unionism, like it's Mick Lynch he's called, you'll love him, he's proper plain speaking geezer, we love him on this show.
But we'll talk about the trade union movement in your country as well, like in particular in I feel like big tech spaces, that's where unionisation is going to become increasingly relevant and necessary.
And if we don't have Proper movements of working people, how will we ever oppose hegemony?
You know on this show we don't agree with centralised power in any form, whether it's leftist statist power or right-wing corporatist power.
We believe in de-centralised power.
These are some of the ideas we're exploring and we'll be exploring them in more depth tomorrow.
If you want to stay with us for a little bit, we're going to continue, aren't we, for a little while?
We are, yeah.
Yesterday we talked about Pinocchio.
Oh yeah, you missed out a few.
Listen, become a member of Stay Free AF.
That sounds for stay free as fuck, yeah?
We're afraid to do a bit of swearing on the internet, you know what I mean?
So you can stay with us for another 15 minutes.
We're going to hang around.
We'll answer your questions.
For example, TOAB has spent $5 to tell us piss is stored in the balls.
How's that for misinfo?
There you go.
So you can join in with this Dorothy Parker level repartee with us.
Join us!
Stay with us!
Let us formulate something new and glorious together.
From the ashes of this crumbling civilization, let a new utopia be born.
Thank you for joining us today.
We'll see you tomorrow at the same time for more of this Giddy and glorious analysis and new emergent thought forms.
See you tomorrow.
Until then, stay free, unless you're with Stay Free AF, and then I'll see you in a minute over on the next platform.
Stay with us.
Come and join us there.
See you in a moment.
Brought to you by Pfizer.
