Stay Free with Russell Brand #008 - You Don't Have To Be Elon or Kanye To Have An Opinion
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
You're welcome. I'm just going to go to sleep. I'll be back.
you Hello!
Welcome to Stay Free with Russell Brand, streamed on Rumble every single day.
Right now is when it's happening.
It's being streamed right now.
What connects us is this moment.
As far as we know, there is a limitless, unbounded cosmic force that predates matter that is now present in you and in me.
Today, we pose the question, the idea, the notion.
We put forth the theory, the theme, the idea.
You don't have to be Elon or Kanye to have an opinion, but...
It helps.
Are we living in a time so censored, so restricted, that the only way to speak freely is to become a tech billionaire or an avant-garde yet hugely popular artist?
Is the culture war creating a kind of crisis of communication?
Is there so much censorship that you can't even be you?
That we're at a sort of Foucauldian point of biopolitics, that your thoughts are policed.
You're not safe even in your own head.
Those are the kind of things we'll be thinking about over the course of the next hour.
We're going to be talking about the news, like the news that you see on normal mainstream media, legacy media news, but also the news that we think is important and that we know that you think is important as well.
If you're joining us in the chat, Thanks for joining us in the chat.
What are you saying in the chat?
Let's have a little look what's going on over there.
Everyone's gotten a right to have an opinion.
Says full moon fever.
Eric Atland.
I'm growing a lot of food as well.
I'm prepping for next spring.
And remember, do we have any comments from before the show?
Remember I asked for that.
Is it here?
This is it here.
This is, look at this one.
Digital Shoes.
Good morning from Canada.
You're in Canada!
Lucky Sevens.
Good morning from California.
Chronicles of Reese.
Russell, when will you be introducing a sexy weather forecast segment to your show?
Well...
Shortly.
Did you not, like, see that weather forecast, the interdimensional weather?
Like, you know, we talked about it yesterday.
This I find both sexy and profound.
Have a look at this.
This is, did you see that moment where a woman was doing the weather and then sort of, it became not just about meteorological conditions, but epistemological and ontological conditions.
What is beingness?
Are we here?
Are you you?
What makes you you?
Here's the weather.
57 and Marshall 50 is the current temperature right now in Winona.
Ooh, that's funky!
What is going... Ooh!
It's her reaction, how she goes from doing the weather into like... I think she was aroused by that.
Possibly.
She's definitely been released from something, hasn't she?
Her usual script.
Must be nice to go off script.
Because if you're doing the weather, you're sort of confined by... You know, back to that moment she was saying it's going to be like this hot or that hot.
She's mainly saying numbers, isn't she?
Doing the weather.
You're pointing at a contour and saying a number, aren't you?
See that bit, it's that hot.
See that bit, it's that windy.
Then all of a sudden it's, on the minute, nothing's real!
Nothing is real.
We are a dream of ourselves.
And if you don't believe me, take a powerful psychedelic... I'm not endorsing this.
This is a rhetorical device.
Take a powerful psychedelic... It's not an advert, is it?
It's not commercial.
It's not an advert.
It's not like... You know when the Kardashians get in trouble for doing adverts and it's like they've not told you it's an advert.
They're just like, oh, do you know what I really like?
Cryptocurrencies.
And then you find out I get some money for it.
No, I just like cryptocurrencies.
I'm not...
Promoting psychedelics because I somehow get some currency.
And if I did get currency, it would be the currency of pure consciousness.
It would be the currency of awakening.
It would be the currency of your freedom.
For what currency matters more than human freedom?
Money.
And that's why the pound has just gone up a lovely little bit.
Good on you, pound.
Go on, my son.
Get in there, pound.
Um, Gareth Roy is the producer of this show.
One of a few producers.
I'd say that Gareth is my partner in creating content, if you want to know all our business.
Um, Gareth, what's going on in the news?
I'll press a gong and you tell us a news story.
Go on then.
Here's normal news.
Gazprom ready to ship gas by a shelved Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
So even though that thing's been sabotaged, that Nord Stream pipeline has been sabotaged, they're saying we can still get gas down it.
Yeah, they're saying one of the pipes is still working, is what they're saying.
Gareth, I don't mean to be crude... Something your doctor told you, is it?
I'm just saying, is it as if there was some sort of blockage in, say for example, your A-pipe, but you could still squeeze a fart round it?
It seems... Is it the same as that?
It's very similar to that.
Is it what my mate Nicola's nan once said, is a fart round shit?
Which she says is the worst kind of fart.
Right.
I fart around shit.
I don't mean to be crude.
I don't mean to be.
That's just the matter.
Like, of course, let's see what poor old Jeffrey Sachs has to say about it.
Jeffrey Sachs!
Jeffrey!
Be yourself, Jeffrey!
Tell us the truth!
Is that pipeline working?
I just enjoy looking at that man having that reaction.
Yeah, amazing reaction.
We're going to get him to come on our show, Jeffrey Sachs, aren't we?
We sure are.
We've asked him already and I'm going to see if I can get him to do that face several times.
I'm going to try and push him to...
I like that face.
I like the way it makes me feel to see someone do that face.
Anyway, yeah, so anyway, it does look like they're saying we can ship gas still, which is exactly what you'd expect a country who just blew up their own pipeline to say, isn't it?
They blow up their own pipeline, and then they go, we still get gas down that pipeline, don't worry about that, we didn't blow it up that well.
Yeah.
Yeah, well... We'll look out for some freak accidents in the coming days.
Watch out for freak accidents, baby!
Biden news now.
Biden offers stark Armageddon warning on the danger of Putin's nuclear threats.
Not only his nuclear threats, all nuclear threats are, I would say, similarly dangerous.
Threats.
Threats.
Is there, can you quantify the danger of a threat?
Like, because a threat is sort of just the expression of a potential issue, isn't it?
Like, I would, if someone says I'm gonna punch you in the face, I suppose I'm thinking, oh, does this person punch people in the face a lot?
Right.
Have they done it a lot in the past?
You're working it out as you go.
Say, like, for me, if I'm, when I'm driving, and I might get some road rage, right, I go, I'm raging!
Like, sometimes I check whether or not I think that person would beat me up before I express the road rage.
Yeah.
I'm so furious!
Oh, actually, it's quite hard.
Carry on, sir!
But there's actually there's a sweet spot if it's a little old lady I get there's no satisfaction to be derived from that exactly you've got to find that sweet spot like Actually, this is a person that I'm not gonna look like a criminal for fighting looking for a small man, basically In some way weak.
Weak, small man.
It doesn't have to be small.
It could be big but sort of like vulnerable.
Like sort of like this.
He's tottering on his feet, the poor thing.
But not so vulnerable as there's no joy in the victory.
Oh, I see.
It's a small window, Ross.
Tiny.
It's like that gas hole.
It's just like...
We can get a little bit of gas down it, but not much.
Still on Biden news, fears of only a weak wrist slap for scandal-scarred first son, Hunter Biden.
Hunter Biden's in the news.
Well, you know, not as much as he would be if they didn't censor it, but he's in the news a bit, isn't he?
Because of stuff to do with... Well, I don't know.
Let's have a look.
Put it on, gal, because the normal news did this and we can tell you what we think about what they say.
The Washington Post reporting federal agents believe they have a plausible case to charge the President's son with tax crimes.
And also with lying on a gun application when he said he wasn't using illegal drugs.
Citing people familiar with the case.
The final decision about whether to file charges rests with the top federal prosecutor in Delaware who was appointed by President Trump.
I think it matters that the lad takes drugs and stuff.
Do you?
I suppose the only way it would is if he had access to a gun.
That might... Wait a minute.
...make a difference.
Hold on, what?
He's on drugs and he's got a gun?
Yeah, I think that's what they're saying.
Let's just imagine this now.
I'm on drugs.
Ooh, lovely.
I've got a gun.
Cool.
Uh-oh!
No, that's dangerous!
Right.
That's dangerous, isn't it?
Yeah.
I'm not bothered about his guns and his drugs.
I'm more interested in the business arrangements and whether or not any of those business arrangements involve... His dad.
Yeah, well they're saying here, missing from the Washington Post account of the DOJ case against President Sun is any mention of previously mooted charges over money laundering and violations of the FARA, which is Foreign Agents Registration Act, both of which could lead prosecutors to inspect the President's involvement in an influence peddling scheme.
So I guess what the point of this is to say is they're going easy on him because they don't want this to have implications on Joe Biden.
What I sense when I look at the news is that you're presented particular information that's either favourable or misleading.
Like this story being a perfect example.
We all remember that the Hunter Biden revelations included financial indiscrepancies as well.
Like, interest in Ukrainian and Chinese energy companies.
Like, of course there's some illicit stuff around drugs and sex and those things may, you can look at those morally and ethically however you want to, but they ultimately boil down to sort of personal issues.
If there's consensual sex or if it's illegal drugs, I don't know.
It's interesting that it's been drilled down to that.
And even something like this, Biden, you know, to pardon thousands of convicted marijuana, convicted of marijuana possession.
Even the term marijuana, I shouldn't be saying that, should I?
Because that comes from Maria Juan.
It was an ethnic slur to suggest that it was people, Mexican folk, Maria Juan, that's where they came up with it.
Cannabis is what you should call it, actually.
Let's have a look at Biden doing a speech about that.
The bit that really interests me, and check this out, is how he reiterates that this was a part of a campaign pledge.
Like, you know, as I said, when I was running for president, by God was I running fast!
I was sprinting along!
Like, you know, he reiterates this was a campaign pledge that he's making good on.
But what about those other pledges?
For example, I'll make Saudi Arabia a pariah.
That's hardly been the case because they've actually, it looks like, lobbied for business to continue with Saudi Arabia.
Anyway, have a look at this speech.
He also did, I mean, he ran on the pledge to decriminalise it, which is not what he's actually doing.
He's not even decriminalising it.
He's not decriminalising it, no.
What is he doing?
Just a little bit decriminalising it.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, he's changing the policy on it, so people who were previously convicted were saying they shouldn't have been convicted.
Right.
But it's not totally decriminalising.
It's not like you can do what you want now.
Exactly.
Do you think that you should be able to do what you want with drugs?
Uh, tricky old question to ask me.
Why?
Because you don't really take drugs, do you?
No, I don't.
I didn't expect to answer this.
Is that your private business?
I was going to talk more about how Biden's head looks more yellow at the top than at the bottom.
You're right, good point Gareth, that's more important.
He's started, like he'd been dipped in an egg yolk.
Yeah.
He's been used as a soldier as we would say in Britain, in our country.
He's been dipped in yolk there and then it's just the white just above the brows.
Let's have a look at what he's saying.
As I said when I ran for president, no one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana.
It's already legal in many states.
And criminal records for marijuana possession have led to needless barriers to employment,
to housing, to educational opportunities.
And that's before you address the racial disparities around who suffers the consequences.
While white and black and brown people use marijuana at similar rates, Black and brown people are arrested, prosecuted and convicted at disproportional... I feel like extraterrestrials watching the news here, if they pick up the signals out in the cosmos and think, what's going on down there?
They're talking about weird stuff.
Yeah, the reference is like, black and brown people.
Black and brown people?
What are they on about?
I'm not even sure what we meant to even say that.
Black and brown and different coloured people, it's extraordinary.
And again, it seems like drawing attention to particular aspects of legislation that are piecemeal improvements which earlier on you pointed out well at least it's something around drug reform that's beneficial but again it's not really sufficient and it feels more like a distraction than an action.
Well yeah apparently a political survey revealed that three in five US voters believe marijuana should be legal nationwide so obviously with the midterms coming up you could argue that it's a political stunt in that respect.
It's appeasement.
It's appeasement and it's distraction.
That's what it is.
Elon Musk's Twitter won't take yes for an answer.
Has he got Twitter yet?
He said, I will buy it, but you've still got to go to court anyway.
Yeah, that's exactly it.
Yeah.
They're apparently a little unsure that he's basically got the finances to follow through with it.
But his attorney said there's no need for an expedited trial to order defendants to do what they are already doing, which I think is really funny.
You don't need a trial if someone's already said they're going to do it.
Yeah.
That's pointless, you're pushing an open door.
Yeah, we're gonna do this thing.
Well, you better do it.
Well, we are doing it.
We'll see you in court!
Blimey, we'll see you in court!
Scientists linked to potential Wuhan lab leak get more cash to study viruses.
They're getting more gain-of-function money when potentially it was gain-of-function research that caused the Wuhan lab leak in the bloody first place.
They should stop.
I don't know how much these people want to know how dangerous bat coronaviruses could be.
Why is it always bats as well?
Surely there's other animals that could have it, isn't there?
I'm worried sick about bats.
What is it this time?
I just think they're gonna do something.
I've got a hunch about bats.
Get some bats.
Get them into a lab in Wuhan.
Get whatever they've got in them.
Make it worse.
Be careful though not to spill it.
Because I'll tell you what, if that stuff gets out, it's going to ruin society for a couple of years.
But anyway, I really need to know.
So it's basically the EcoHealth Alliance and Peter Daszak, who got a grant last time, gave some money to the Wuhan lab.
Not that there's any proof, of course, that coronavirus began in that Wuhan lab.
You couldn't even say that on the internet a little while ago.
And on certain platforms, you wouldn't be able to say it now.
And you certainly wouldn't be able to say it on the mainstream news.
They're giving more grants to EcoHealth Alliance for more gain-of-function research.
What's going on?
Let me know in the comments.
Let me know in the chat if you think that kind of research should be happening.
When I talk about democracy, what I mean is that we should be involved at every level in important decisions.
If you had a vote on it, would you go, yeah, do some more gain-of-function research?
Or would you say, stop this mad stuff now?
We're going to do an in-depth story on that, I think, next Monday.
Aren't we?
Correct.
Why don't we?
We will.
And also, eNews are offering you all the bombshells from Kanye West's Tucker Carlson interview, but let's face it, here at Stay Free with Russell Brand, there's only one Kanye bombshell we're interested in, and here it is.
The most influential white woman on the planet being my ex-wife.
They have people... It's funny that he says white woman on the planet.
Yeah.
It's funny that... Why are we categorizing everything on that basis?
Like, like, oh, Joe Biden, white, brown... I mean, of course, you know, you need a query that there are statistical anomalies around the imprisonment of black and brown people to quote Joe Biden when it comes to drug charges, but also now influence as well.
We've got to let go of this infatuation, I feel.
...that are around them at all times.
Telling them what to be afraid of.
It's like, not what to do or say specifically, it's what to be afraid of.
And if you have... That is specific, isn't it?
Be afraid of this.
Bees!
Love for example.
Bats!
Bats!
Watch out for bats!
I've got a feeling they're going to get more infectious.
How much contact with bats are you having?
Let's get them into a factory, Andy.
I will deal with them in the lab.
The only real time that bats have caused a problem is Batman, and that actually turned out for the good, didn't it, in the end?
Could you argue that it didn't?
I mean, some people are quite angry with him, aren't they?
What, Joker?
He's out of control!
I think ultimately Batman was a force for good, although he's ambivalent, and that's what I like about him.
A person that isn't afraid of them.
You know, like a Russell Branner.
Aha!
Oh, Russ, I'm not afraid of the Kardashians.
The first person he mentions is you, being not afraid.
Now, I... I'm afraid of the Kardashians.
I don't think he means the Kardashians.
I'm not afraid of them!
I think he means of anything.
Bring them in!
Get one!
Yeah.
Get them all!
Get all the Kardashians!
Get the man one!
There's a man one, isn't there?
Yep.
One of the lads.
There's a lad Kardashian.
Oh yeah, Rob, I think it is.
Get that one!
That's right.
Get all of the lady ones!
Get the dad one!
Get the mum one!
I'm not afraid of no Kardashian.
No.
If I got bit by a Kardashian, it'd probably give me a superpower.
Straight off to the lab with you.
Get me down that lab.
Oh yeah.
I did meet some of those Kardashians thinking about it.
Yeah, I just want to say, I don't think he means that that's... Oh, that's not what he's saying?
No, no, I don't think it's... What is he saying?
I'm afraid of nothing.
I think he means you're afraid of anything.
Which I think is a pretty bold... If I was thinking of the first person that came to mind who isn't afraid of anything... Ghostbusters!
Right.
Because they don't afraid of no ghosts.
Yeah.
Which is a good job, really, in that line of work.
You may be, but it's a hell of a compliment from Kanye.
Not afraid of anything.
Anything.
I think like cage fighters and them sorts of people.
I'm actually scared of almost everything.
Like, if I sit down and think about it.
Death, I'm scared of.
Sometimes not getting enough approval.
Maybe, like, I will fall down.
I don't know if I'll fall down!
Sometimes I think about too much, like, how many things can go wrong.
The pound?
I'm worried about the pound.
Look at it, bloody thing.
It's right down there now.
That's not where you want it.
It terrifies me.
But actually, I like Kanye West, and I like it that he said my name on the telly there.
Yeah, it's cool.
Good news, isn't it?
There's a bit where Tucker goes, like, where he first says your name.
Yeah, what does Tucker do?
And then Tucker goes, yeah.
Tucker goes, yeah!
Yeah, yeah.
I want to see that.
A Russell Branner.
Yeah.
Oh, he did say yeah!
Yeah.
Yeah, that's right!
Hell, I ain't afraid of no ghosts!
Yeah.
Yeah!
I've never even heard Tucker make that noise.
He ain't scared.
Why wouldn't we be friends?
Let's get... Let's be friends with him.
Tucker?
All of them.
Kanye?
Kardashians.
All of them.
I ain't scared of none of them.
Nope.
Don't scare me, mate.
It's gonna take a lot more than that.
Well, Kanye should come on our show, should he?
Of course he should.
Let us know in the chat, let us know in the comments if you want to see Kanye come on Stay Free with Russell Brann.
Certainly not scared of the idea.
Not scared of nothing.
Not scared of nothing.
Not no more.
Also in the news is that Australian farmers forced to dump truckloads of oranges because they're unattractive.
That's odd, isn't it?
Because...
Oranges aren't attractive.
Like, what are you going to do with the orange?
It's a strange word to use, isn't it?
I'll tell you the truth, Australia.
I don't know if you know this.
You're not meant to fuck them.
Like, you're just that avid for the vitamin C. Yeah.
It's not like, oh, what the hell?
I'm not going to fuck that.
Good.
No one does.
It's not the point of them.
Ah, it's disgusting.
Look at it.
That's not the point of an orange.
No.
And if that's true, then there's a lot of people fucking oranges.
Because look at all those oranges.
Oh, my God.
No, none of these are good enough.
Look at them.
I wouldn't go near that for yours, mate!
Australia's got weird actions.
Oh, there's a lemon instead!
Oh, God!
Oh, Christ!
It stings!
I didn't realise the gland would be so porous!
Yeah?
Yeah?
That's right, we're going to bring down the government and stuff like that.
We ain't afraid.
We ain't afraid of no ghosts.
Remember though, when we say frivolous things like this, I obviously want you to remember these things.
Primarily we're interested in transparent discourse.
We believe strongly that it's possible for people from a wide range of communities with different ideologies,
whether traditional or progressive, to come together against establishment power,
whether that's big business, media or state.
We believe, and in fact today we're going to explore, that there are alliances between big tech and government
that prevent us communicating freely.
That an organisation like Google, that we've been sort of primed and trained to regard as a neutral tool, is a powerful editorializing force.
Many of you will be aware that the WEF, which is Klaus Schwab's plaything.
Oh, I didn't mean to pry.
Klaus Schwab, real-life Bond villain, just one catch short of Dr. No.
Oh, no!
But he, of course, holds these events, these WEF events, with their catchphrase.
It's not a good catchphrase.
You'll own nothing and you'll be happy.
It's a weird catchphrase, isn't it?
Yeah.
You'll own nothing, you'll be happy.
Yeah.
Because we want things, don't we?
I mean, like, if you reach a point of enlightenment, you recognise, oh yeah, I can't really possess anything.
Even my most treasured relationships and things I think of as mine are just temporarily mine because I will expire.
I'm a temporary conglomeration of atoms.
Through entropy and atrophy, I will move apart.
Even the notion of the self is just a set of memories and projections.
But that's not really the groove we're in, culturally, generally, is it?
No, it's not what they meant, I don't think.
I don't know if they mean that.
I think they mean we're nicking your stuff so we can tyrannise you.
Isn't it?
Isn't it, Gal?
It is, mate.
It is, isn't it?
Yep.
No oranges.
No oranges?
Attractive otherwise.
What do you think I am?
Some sort of pervert?
Sat at home fucking an ugly orange?
That's not what I was saying at all.
God, no, you've got me all wrong.
So let's have a look now at, well, because, you know, last year, what was it, about a week ago, a member of the UN openly disclosed that they are in direct contact with Google and editorialised Google searches, in this case regarding climate change.
So if you Google climate change, like, I want to know all about it, like on Google and that, I want to know all about it.
Like the information will be edited.
But, in a way, don't you think it's significant that 100 companies are responsible for 71% of all global emissions?
So, if you believe that man-made climate change is real, and for me, that's not the issue.
The issue is respect, love, cherishing the Earth that we are part of, that we're evolved from.
Even if you think that climate change is real, It's not being caused by little darling individuals not putting their bins out on a Thursday.
Trash cans out on a Thursday.
I just wanted to say in case the Americans are watching.
It's good.
It's good.
Don't alienate people.
No, no.
Don't alienate the Americans.
Hello.
Hello.
We love you.
We're here for you.
What about the Australians?
You should probably try and put them... Fuck them.
They brought home with an orange, didn't they?
I'm not doing that today!
They're lying!
What are you?
Like, no, I do.
I love Australians, actually.
I love all people of Earth, regardless of where they're born.
Under the sea, all them countries are touching each other.
Especially the French perverts.
So anyway, now it's time for our item.
Here's the news.
I don't think so.
Here's the effing news.
Let's have a look.
Thank you for watching Fox News.
Here's the news.
No, here's the fucking news.
UN official has publicly admitted at a WEF event that Google and the UN conspire to alter
Google results.
But there's nothing strange to see here.
Now let's get into today's story.
A UN official has brazenly admitted that they doctor Google results in collaboration with the big tech behemoth.
Now this relates in particular to climate change.
Of course at the UN They believe that man-made climate change is a real thing, and just so you guys know, I believe that as well.
And I also certainly believe that pollution and disrespect of the planet is a great slur on our kind.
Although I am open to the fact that there are epochal movements inspired by cosmological and planetary events beyond the scope of human civilization.
I of course recognize that's a possibility, but I deeply believe that we should respect the planet.
However, I also believe in freedom of information.
And here's a piece of information that's significant.
71% of all global emissions are caused by 100 companies.
So you don't need to go and doctor Google results so that every single thing says, climate change is bad, make sure you do your recycling.
Go and individually knock on the door of a hundred companies and say, stop polluting!
They're responsible for 70% of it.
Also, here's another piece of information that's vital.
The richest 1% of the global population use twice as much carbon as the poorest 50%.
My point is this.
Whether man-made climate change is real or not, and I know some of you don't believe that it's real.
I happen to believe it's real.
The UN believe that it's real.
The culpability and responsibility lies more with a hundred companies and the richest 1% than it does ordinary people.
So by doctoring Google results, you're not solving the problem anyway.
What you're doing is enforcing an agenda on ordinary people.
Now you might think that's a significant thing.
Clearly they think it's a significant thing.
But for me there are huge questions of trust.
Do you trust the UN?
Do you trust the WEF?
Do you trust Google?
Do you trust the global conspirators that dominate our planet?
Now I don't want to use tinfoil hat language, I don't have my tinfoil hat on hand, otherwise I would.
But I would say that the The biggest problem we face at the moment is centralised power and centralised corruption.
Centralised corporate and financial force, centralised state force.
The inability of ordinary people to run their own lives, whether that's from a libertarian traditional perspective, or from a socialist progressive perspective, and all the intersectional prismic alternatives that exist within that vast and various range.
I think the big problem is freedom in your own life, Freedom in your own community, the ability to access and discern information for yourself.
That's why on this channel, we're interested mostly in corruption in the media, corruption in big business, corruption in government.
Those are the things that interest us most.
Let's have a look at this WEF conference, that well-known jolly for ordinary folk.
Come one, come all to the WEF.
With me, Klaus Schwab, I wouldn't like to pry.
You know, we partnered with Google, for example.
If you Google climate change, Did I hear a cat purring there?
Is Klaus Schwab's cat literally in the building?
Have a listen.
I suppose it would be naive to assume that an enterprise as vast as Google would not have an explicit relationship with the UN.
But as you know, even on YouTube, which is a subset of Google, which is a subset of Alphabet, we've recently been censored and we held up our hands and had already published an apology video.
Have a look on Rumble if you want to see the details.
But if Google and the UN are conspiring at that level about something that they're confident to discuss publicly, like climate change, is it not likely that there are other areas where they are conspiring to?
Let me know in the chat, let me know in the comments, or let me know if you think this is an isolated incident and an isolated slip-up at a friendly old WEF conference.
At the top of your search, you will get all kinds of UN resources.
That essentially means sanctioned and censored information, and that they have removed non-sanctioned and censored information.
Now as I've already told you, I believe human-influenced climate change is a real thing.
And I strongly believe that all of our practices should be informed by respect to the planet and always be geared to maximising the profits of industry titans.
But more significantly, I believe that the culpability lies with the 70% of emissions that come from 100 companies and from the carbon footprint of the 1%.
And ordinary people oughtn't be condemned Blamed, corralled, controlled, drip-fed, biased information and have their freedom impeded so that these targets can be met when in fact it doesn't make any bloody difference.
It just seems to me like yet more leverage and control over ordinary people via big tech resources when in fact where the regulation is required is of course, as always, among the powerful.
We started this partnership when we were shocked to see that when we Googled climate change we were getting incredibly distorted information.
Now, distorted information in this instance means information that we disagree with.
To me, science ought be a process of experimentation, discourse, objectivity where possible, continuing amendment, argument, counter-argument, theory, counter-theory, thesis, antithesis, synthesis.
There are people that believe that climate change is brought about by forces that go beyond the scope and scale of humankind and human activity.
Me, if I see an oil slick or I see, like, rainforest getting cut down, I think, I think that's human beings doing that, and it doesn't look good.
Who benefits from that?
Oh, some of the most powerful interests in the world.
For me, that completely fits the paradigm of anti-establishment, anti-elite power.
You let me know in the chat, you let me know in the comments what you believe.
I'm all about the empowerment of ordinary people in spite of their beliefs.
You love Trump, I don't give a shit.
You hate Trump, I don't give a shit.
You are interested in running your own life and running your own community, I'm on your side.
They're not right at the top.
So we're becoming much more proactive.
We own the science.
You can't own science, can you?
That's like saying we own objectivity.
That means you're in charge of truth.
And that's the biggest problem we face when confronting power.
People saying, this is what's right, this is what's real.
If you disagree with us, you're wrong.
That's, I think, tyranny.
And we think that the world should know it.
And the platforms themselves also do.
When I look at her shoes, I think she's probably a nice person.
A bad person wouldn't wear a strappy sandal like that.
But again it's it's it is um it's it's a huge huge challenge that I think all sectors of society need to be very active in.
Now how does Bill Gates fit into this?
Because you know he's gonna.
During an appearance at goalkeepers 2022.
God he's even interested in goalkeepers!
I think you need to come off your line quicker and maybe play it out from the back.
Distribute to your full backs.
During an appearance at Goalkeepers 2022 recently, Bill Gates lamented misinformation.
Gates admitted that he has a group dedicated to tracking what people say about him online.
I'd like to take this opportunity to say your hair looks nice Bill.
I have a group that tracks what's on the Well, I suppose this is what we're saying, that Bill Gates, you are a billionaire.
You have incredible influence already as a result of that wealth, and that influence appears to be creeping into areas like agriculture, media, seed patenting, vaccines, health, the WHO, these donations to various media organisations.
What is it that you're trying to achieve?
And if, as you say, you are a philanthropist, which means a love of humanity and you're wanting to help people, I feel that you should democratise that process and ask people what it is they want and how they'd like to be helped, and allow that money to be distributed in decentralised ways, not give it to organisations that ultimately allow you to profit more.
For example, during the period where you said you were going to give away 50% of your wealth, your wealth actually enhanced doing that. There's the statistics on
that. So Bill, if you're watching or if one of your gatekeepers or goalkeepers or
whatever they are is watching, if you really want to help the world I think it's
got to be about decentralization and empowering people in their own lives,
allowing farmers to run their own farms, allowing experts in all sorts of
diverse fields from all sorts of classes and communities to run their own lives.
There, if you're watching.
So, hopefully that'll get to him.
Gates' non-profit, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, has provided hundreds of millions of dollars in funding to some of the Facebook fact-checkers whose content is used in warning labels that are appended to Facebook posts.
When these warning labels are added to Facebook posts, the click-through rates decline by around 95%.
No way!
That's massive censorship.
So they give funding to Facebook fact checkers and that those warning labels are highly effective.
I bet some of our stuff said that, didn't it?
Of course it will have done.
Gates is one of the world's biggest super emitters due to his regular private jet travel.
We're not saying there's anything wrong with private jet travel, but if you're out there all the time saying that private jet travel is a massive problem, don't get to the place where you said that on a private jet.
Billionaires have carbon footprints that can be thousands of times higher than those of average Americans.
So an average American's footprint, like a little baby footprint, and Bill Gates' footprint, like a big Diplodocus footprint coming out of an aeroplane in some sliders and socks.
Oh man!
I'm having a hell of a holiday!
Nobody use a private jet!
See you next time!
Whether you believe in man-made climate change or you don't, surely you believe in freedom, surely you believe in the right to make your own choices, and surely you can see that this issue is the responsibility of a hundred corporations and the richest 1%.
But that's just what I think.
Let me know what you think in the chat.
Let me know what you think in the comments.
I'll pick up with you in just a second.
Thanks for refusing Fox News.
No.
Here's the fucking news.
Welcome our new Stay Free AF members, Kelly George and Caravan15.
Stay Free AF is of course our members community where you can join us after every single stream for additional chat, where you can join me live when I do podcasts, like when I talk to Elon Musk or Kanye West, who I guess I'm going to ask now to come on the show.
You can join live on Stay Free AF, and you can send questions to them, because we put some out in the stream, and we do the live conversation as well.
And also, you can talk to us, if you're a member of Stay Free AF.
When this stream ends on Rumble, you can stay with us a little bit longer.
I've got some of your comments here.
A remnant disciple of Jesus the Christ, Russia is fixing their pipeline.
Proof they did not blow it up.
And then Swelchy is saying, Biden dipped in egg yolk, nicknamed Soldier Biden.
Hmm, yeah, yeah.
And also, on the subject of cannabis and cannabis legislation, Janet 99 says, cannabis leaves volatile oils in the brain that are very hard to remove and then deteriorate the brain.
Janet, you don't have to tell me that, mate, because I spent a significant portion of my life putting those oils into the old brain and it's still bothering me after nearly 20 years without any of the stuff.
My brain is right slick in there because of them oils, I think.
And then there's people saying stuff about oranges, and a lot of you want to see Kanye on a future show.
Daboo Free, I want to see Kanye on a show.
Bry Engle, yeah, bring Ye on the show.
Summer Rose 88, yes, Kanye!
So we're gonna do our best, we'll reach out to him.
I used to have his phone number, but Kanye West, he changed his phone number a lot.
I feel like he's a person that might throw his phone out of a window, like on an impulse.
Yeah, fuck you!
He's the sort of person that would have those kind of impulses.
Yeah, to be fair, you did do that once as well.
Yeah, I did do that.
Yeah, I think you smashed a photographer's something or other?
Oh, yeah.
Those were days when, of course, remember when I was a normal celebrity, like, what happened was, is they, you know, all the paparazzi and everything, and I go, oh, that was one of my, that's when I used to think, oh, this is a good opportunity to act quite tough.
You dare say!
I'll show you!
I'll give you a bunch of bananas, mush!
Like that.
Sometimes I don't even get the fighting talk wrong.
Hey, Gareth, you've got some more information on how big tech and deep state agencies have conspired to keep certain stories out of the media.
What's your thing, gal?
Well, yeah.
I mean, I guess what we were just talking about, if this can actually work... Will, make this work properly.
There we go.
So yeah, we were talking about basically in that item, we were talking about Google controlling the narrative around climate change and almost taking away the issue from the fact that the narrative is being controlled.
It doesn't really matter what you think about climate change to an extent, it's more the fact that our view on it is being controlled by Google.
So just some examples I've heard over the last couple of years, between March 10, 2020 and March 10, 2022, there were 646 instances where Big Tech censored criticism of Biden, according to analysis by the Media Research Center.
140 of those cases involved the New York Post story about Hunter Biden's potentially corrupt foreign deals when his father was president.
In another example, in February, Facebook explicitly banned the claim that COVID-19 was man-made.
They banned that claim?
Yeah, this is obviously going back a year or so now as part of a broad policy update aimed at removing more false claims about COVID-19 and vaccines.
Hey Gail, when I spoke to Stella Assange on our show, she said that what's curious about censorship is the way that the narratives change, that there's a point where you might get banned from online platforms for saying something and then a couple of months later it's changed but your ban don't disappear.
A lot like many of the key workers that lost their jobs around refusal to be vaccinated, and then the regulation changed, they're still not giving those people their jobs back.
There's something quite capricious about this regulation.
Already it's been kind of admitted that Twitter ought not have censored, for example, the New York Post story about the Hunter Biden laptop.
And again, just to reiterate, we're not interested in the more salacious side of it.
I suppose what's more relevant are these business dealings so it was just a sort of a trend to ban it when there was a... I think in that respect that was the former Twitter owner and it's only come out because since he's left Twitter he said we shouldn't have done that but what if he'd still been there maybe he wouldn't have done Going back to Facebook, in April 2020, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg offered Andy Fauci help facilitating decisions regarding lockdown measures in the US.
In an email dated April 8th, Zuckerberg explains that he wants to help Fauci and his organization facilitate decisions and prioritise the right work. This has already always
recently happened as well with regard to abortion pills. Facebook was removing posts from users
and temporarily banning them from social media platform
to mention the fact that abortion pills can be sent by the mail.
So wherever you stand in the culture war there will be an issue that affects you.
You might be a person that's, like, pro-life, or you might be a person that's pro-choice, or you might be a person that thinks, like, he's a Republican.
Sooner or later, if you allow censorship, it will affect you.
That's why you have to have what is called principles that don't alter just because it benefits you.
Otherwise what you're operating out of is selfishness and greed.
We had a wonderful conversation earlier with Alan McLeod.
He's a media expert and journalist with Mint Press and he talked about sort of how How deep the relationship between the CIA and Google is, that even at the inception of Google, the CIA were there, they were investing, and it seems like he said that it's almost impossible to find the line between the state and big tech.
So when people say, why don't they nationalise it or demonopolise it and break it up, The reason they don't do that, haven't done that, won't do that, as has just been illustrated by Gareth's example of the correspondence between Zuckerberg and Fauci, essentially they're one entity.
The revolving door between Washington and Wall Street demonstrates this in another way.
It's just temporal.
This moment, government.
This moment, Wall Street.
This moment, CIA.
This moment, working at Facebook.
It's sort of a fluid symbiosis.
It's only us that has a taxonomy of separation.
It's only us that go, well, that's the CIA.
They're spies and stuff, doing their best.
There's the government.
They're regulating on our behalf.
There's Google.
They don't see it like that.
We have an old-fashioned, antiquated idea of nationality, which they stoke by sort of enhancing our prejudicial fears so that we feel sort of Either proud or fearful, but connect that pride and that fear to a kind of national identity.
But there is a strata of society that no longer observes those borders.
Aren't I right, Gary?
You're absolutely right.
Yeah, and I think a lot of what Alan was saying is, you know, how these government agencies are infiltrating all sorts of social media platforms.
You know, so the fact when you're uploading stuff onto Facebook or Twitter or any of the other ones,
you are essentially sending it to members of the intelligence agencies. They are. Yeah which
is... Spies, they're everywhere, aren't they?
Sure are.
Not on Rumble though, where we believe in free speech.
Remember, press your Rumble, if you press your Rumble button right now, it's good for us in some sort of way.
In ways that I don't really understand.
Probably, I don't know, probably someone in the FBI is working there going, oh, this is getting Rumbled pretty hard.
Well, Rumble me this.
So do a load of Rumbles.
Young Putin, he looks like Putin when Putin was young.
Are they responding now?
Yeah, we've gone up a couple of hundred.
Do some more.
Rumble it a bit more.
Rumble it like it's 1999.
We've got any comments, Subhi, from people on the stories of today?
Yep.
We have someone say, what's her name?
Justin Valentin said, when the SEC is accusing Kim Kardashian of having too much influence on financial matters, we're in big trouble.
Although Kim Kardashian is the most influential white person, who is also a lady, on this sphere.
According to my friend Kanye West.
And you know who's the least scared of anything?
Me.
I'm scared of nothing.
Like, on this sphere of Earth, I don't really have any... It's so ridiculous when I think about how much of my life is dominated by total dread.
Like, just sometimes I would get out of bed.
I was like, oh God.
Don't you feel a lot of fear?
What's it like being you?
Are you alright as a human being?
You feeling okay?
Do you have enough love in your life?
Enough connection?
You don't feel like you're being ground down, do you, by the system?
You don't feel like you're being lied to the entire time, lurching from crisis to crisis, unable to access your essential spirit and feel that it's safe to be who you really are?
It's difficult, isn't it, to be alive sometimes, but don't worry, we're going to work it all out together.
This is how.
By recognizing that on the individual level, we have to awaken spiritually, accept our own fallibility, and on the communal level, we have to find new ways of forming alliances and connections.
We'll be doing that very shortly.
What do you think that person was feeling?
The person that did that.
Can you remember?
They've been on the show before.
Let me know in the chat.
Let me know in the comments what this person's feeling.
Is that a happy person or a sad person?
He didn't have an orange, did he?
It better be good for my skin!
You're going to tell me anything else about Big Tech or can I throw to Alan McLeod?
Let's throw it to Alan.
Alan McLeod, if you haven't heard of him, he's a brilliant journalist.
You should check him out.
Mint Press is the organisation he works for and he told us that they need more help because guess what happened?
Google changed the algorithm To stop people supporting independent media like Democracy Now and Mint Press.
So, Alan McLeod, in my view, seems like a pretty good journalist.
It's a fantastic conversation.
The whole conversation will be up on Rumble soon.
But here's just a couple of minutes of us chatting earlier.
I think, well, I can't remember which bit it was exactly, but... Oh, no, it's Google's close relationship with the CIA and their ability to control the public discourse using data and algorithms.
Have a look.
And remember to rumble like it's 1999.
Smash that stuff like it's the sexiest orange in the grove.
Have a look.
Google has had a very close relationship with the CIA ever since.
The CIA actually sold stocks in Google in 2005.
And in 2007, Google was working with them to help their planes and their drones find targets.
Google Earth and Google Maps is basically the civilian spin-off of a military operation that Google was running for many, many years.
And so it continues to this day that these two organizations are very closely linked and that should really worry everybody because Google is this enormous behemoth which has got so much data about ourselves, about every other country in the world, to the point where it's really a national security issue for every other country and certainly a personal security issue for people like you and me.
So we've been trained to regard Google as an innocuous tool that we just use on a daily basis, but right from its origins it's had a relationship with the CIA.
So whilst its function for us might be to search for things, which in my case, I don't know about you Alan, but in my case are always legitimate things, mostly stuff to do with gardening.
It's my primary interest.
For Google there is the obvious advertising interest and sort of the shadow data and all the data that they can capture from that and for the CIA it's just by default just accumulating information for presumably to observe patterns in people that are not of interest at the moment and in people that are of interest they literally take in that information probably continually.
Yeah, listen, Google is one of the largest organizations and most powerful tools that humanity has ever created.
So, of course, powerful institutions like the CIA or any of its contemporaries around the world are going to want to influence it.
Even small companies do this by trying to do things like SEO, which is search engine optimization, where you try to appear really high up in the algorithmic rankings.
But yeah, when it comes to Google, they have an enormous budget, and so do the CIA.
And so we do see these interlocking relationships, whereby the CIA really does, and the US government more generally, does lean on Google to promote certain ideas and dissuade other ones.
And I'll give you an example of this in the alternative media world.
We are very painfully aware of how important Google is to us.
You know, in 2017, Google launched Project Owl, which is all about trying to destroy the basis of disinformation and promote good quality, authoritative news around the world.
But what ended up happening was that high quality alternative news sites saw that their search traffic drop overnight.
So Mint Press, where I worked, lost almost 90% of its search traffic.
I Know Democracy Now lost 36% overnight.
The Intercept lost 19% overnight.
And these are really terrible losses in terms of just the amount of money you will get from those clicks as well.
That's why we're here on Rumble.
Remember, smash that like button.
Use the tip of your snout, use your elbow, use your fingers, use whatever part of your body comes to mind.
But keep smashing that button.
We are here to communicate freely with you.
Amy and George says, Editing Google reminds me of Orwell's Double Think, Manda76.
Censorship is always good until it affects you.
And then, Allensmerk, I agree with Manda76.
Hang about, they're just talking to each other.
They're cutting me out of the picture.
Wait a second.
Censorship, in order to honestly protect, I would say, is good.
But that's more or less where the line should be drawn.
And who draws that line?
Who draws that line?
What are you thinking, Gal?
I can see you're thinking something, because I know from your face.
I was listening to Alan there, talking about Project Owl.
And I thought, did he say Project Owl?
Did he say Owl or Owl?
I'm not sure.
What's Project Owl?
Oh, young Putin will know, won't he?
He lives in those murky... He's on that naughty internet that you're not meant to go on.
Darknet.
You know, naughty internet.
Oh, yeah.
That's not the proper internet!
Why does it all look strange?
Music saved my life.
Hello there, thanks for watching.
Hey Russell, I want to say that when Twitter first censored Trump, I thought he was good.
I've changed my mind now.
Yeah, fair enough.
Nice.
P. Don goes, considering Elon works with the government already via subsidies in Tesla and SpaceX, and he appeases them by giving Ukraine access to Starlink, so it's possible that Elon may return free speech to Twitter.
That's an interesting perspective there.
I really hope we get you on the show so we can ask him some of these complex questions.
And then someone here just says, hello, hello, hello.
And then someone says, all right, now what's all this?
And then people start talking about potatoes.
I mean, it's just difficult to follow a conversation like that, isn't it?
But you keep that chat going because this is a free speech platform and you can say whatever you want.
Why don't you use your freedom of speech to love one another?
Seems like you are as well as Talking curiously about potatoes.
Frank Dick says censorship is the opening wedge for fascism.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, it's the opening wedge for fascism.
You got something to say, baby?
I was just wondering if you wanted to have a look at Klaus Schwab at all.
Of course I want to look at Klaus Schwab.
Klaus Schwab, as you know, is... I don't know what to make of that guy.
We once read an interesting article about him saying that, like, he was really interested in his parking space and stuff.
That's right, yeah.
Like, don't you park in my spot!
Because in a way, look, one person said once on one of our shows, on Subcutaneous, our podcast that you get if you're a member of the Stay Free AF community, that, like, Klaus Schwab Like, in a way, all this WEF and Davos stuff, it's no big deal because them powerful people, they can meet up whenever they want anyway.
They can meet up illicitly, they can dress up in their robes, go to their groves, worship their owl, whatever it is they get up to.
They can do that in their leisure time.
But, I'm sort of saying that what the WEF and Davos are is the publicity arm, the propaganda arm for the New World Order and Great Reset agenda.
So it is somewhat interesting, but is it a nefarious thing?
Let us know in the comments, let us know in the chat what you think about it and let's have a look at what... It goes a little bit with what Annie Mushroom was saying the other day about how it's become more explicit in the way that maybe you wouldn't have had something like the WEF and those kind of relationships being so overt maybe 30, 40 years ago and yet now you can See those relationships, and they can explicitly say, like the lady from the UN said at a WF event earlier, you know, be very, as I say, explicit about the fact that there are these relationships, and our reaction, we become so kind of, I guess, desensitized to some of these things.
Yeah, inured and sort of slightly ground down, like you feel like, oh, nothing's gonna happen, nothing's gonna waste.
It's very difficult.
That's why I think it's important we have people like Vandana Shiva on the show because she's someone who inspires me and makes me think change is possible.
When we talk to her, she's going to be on next week actually, when I talk to her I think change is possible.
It is possible to stand up to power.
People organise reality all the time.
Hold on a minute, revolutions are constantly occurring.
Empires crumble.
One of the first things they have to do is Prevent you from imagining new futures.
They have to instill in you the belief that change is impossible.
That's why they work so hard.
Think of all of the institutions and forces that are in constant action to prevent you from awakening.
Look at how hard they work through Big Tech and Government Alliance to prevent the truth from being spread.
That shows me the possibility always exists.
Let's have a look at old Klaus Schwab, see what he said.
This is when he talks about, like, the amount of government stooges he's got around the world, isn't it, essentially?
Yeah, exactly that.
How many have gone through the young global leaders at the WF?
Lilith, maybe you've seen this, but he just talks about people that, well, Dave was such a WF.
I remember Justin Trudeau when he was this high, always had great hair.
Have a look.
And I have to say, when I mention our names, like Mrs. Merkel, even Vladimir Putin and so on, they all have been young global leaders of the world economic forum.
But, What we are very proud of now is the young generation, like Prime Minister Trudeau, President of Argentina and so on, that we penetrate the cabinets.
The thing is with Klaus Schwab is that clearly he's meddling in a kind of globalist agenda.
The assertion that ordinary people aren't bright enough to choose their futures for themselves, for ourselves.
That there needs to be sort of top-down systems of government and governance.
But he seems to believe it in a quite...
Jolly way, I've always thought.
He seems all quite twinkle-eyed and friendly.
Yeah, he also invites you to think of Vladimir Putin as like a young leader, like a teenage Vladimir Putin.
Plucky young Vladimir Putin, yeah, just to sort of, yeah, riling people up.
Also, I think with Klaus Schwab, he got a bit too much spit in his mouth.
Right.
He's like, I say swallow that down, Klaus.
Before he continues talking, empty at least one of those cheeks.
He's sluicing around a lot of saliva.
Yeah, he's not even used that water next to him, has he?
He don't need that.
That's probably just off cuts for him.
That's what he's sluiced out of his left cheek.
Swallow some of that before you continue!
Oh, bother me a pooter!
You little fresh-faced thing!
Isn't he?
Too much spit in his gob.
Let's see what he carries.
Let's see the rest of what he's got to say.
Yesterday I was at a reception for Prime Minister Trudeau and I know that half of this cabinet, or even more half of this cabinet, are actually young global leaders of the world economy.
You might remember during the trucker protest that there was that woman whose name was something like Valentina Celestia Goodheart.
Christina Freeland, wasn't it?
Yeah, Christina Freeland, that's what it was.
It was like cuddly old Mary Poppins, I love you.
It was the person that said we're freezing your bank accounts and all that stuff.
All of these people have passed through these organisations, that's what it looks like.
When we spoke to Yanis Varoufakis, and his podcast is coming up, Subcutaneous, next week, it'll be on Tuesday's show, and if you're a member of Stay Free AF, you can listen to the whole thing in its entirety.
He talked about how deeply entrenched these power relationships are, and that one way of opposing it would be actual different systems of democracy, where you have assemblies of, get this, people People that have not come through the professional grooming processes that all those lot have been through.
They all go to the same universities.
They all go to the same schools.
Not criticizing you if you went to one of those universities or schools.
We're all, you know, we're all beautiful in our own crazy way.
But like Yanis Varoufakis' suggestion that you could have real people's assemblies temporarily brought together to vote on particular issues.
One thing that that would certainly do would be to break up these monopolies and these centralized systems of power.
I think it's a Pretty good idea.
I want to say hello to a few of our Stay Free AF members like Kidrift2590, Moxie Twain, Winter Wanner.
Thanks for joining us on Stay Free AF.
Gal, you look like you've got something to say there.
No, I just... I can never tell because you've got this sort of look on your face sometimes.
It just reminded me of something I read by Brian Karmarkitich and Jacobin earlier saying, the best way to protect, he was talking about big tech, the best way to protect against this is to advocate for and firmly cement very strict limits on these companies' ability to censor or a minimum Yeah, treat them as utilities.
We've got nothing to lose.
I know a lot of you have been sort of trained to think of socialism as terrifying, in some ways, quite rightly, because of the horrors of Stalinism and Maoism.
But forms of public ownership where the state is not separate from people, like true democracy, would mean that you would have a say in how municipal facilities were run, energy, transport, all facilities.
It's not like the state have got it and it's none of your business.
It's your business!
Your community, you run it.
Imagine doing that to big tech.
Oh, well, but this was an entrepreneur.
Some genius come up with this in his garage.
No, the CIA were investing in Google from the get-go.
They give us that narrative.
They give us that framework so that we think, oh, it's untouchable.
I suppose I'll have to invent my own Google.
Like, you know, you sort of feel like you're not good enough because you've not invented a search engine.
You are good enough.
You're perfect exactly as you are.
I'm so glad you're here with us.
I love you.
Now, here's an opportunity for you.
Want a job?
Want a bag of sand?
Grand?
In proper pounds?
Oh, look at it, it's shooting up its value.

All the details are in there.
Okay, it's been a lovely little show today, hasn't it?
Like we've been talking about You know, Elon and Kanye and their ability to operate outside of the conventional systems of censorship because of their power.
I suppose what we have to question is whether or not...
Whether or not Elon Musk ultimately is going to say anything that's incredibly radical, which is something we'll be asking him when he's on the show, and whether or not Kanye's contributions to the culture are taking us in the right direction.
But I suppose what we can agree is they certainly have the right to communicate and they shouldn't be subject to censorship and ultimately What they're experiencing in the public domain is something that many people... They're, I suppose, being subject to a threshold that most of us are kept below.
That's what happens if people with power start saying, well, can't we have a diplomatic solution in the Russia-Ukraine war?
Or aren't there numerous perspectives that could be applied in the culture war?
They show us how difficult it's become to communicate.
That's what I suppose I'm trying to say.
Hey, so...
On Monday, we're going to be talking in depth about how funding for a U.S.
organization at the center of the COVID-19 lab leak controversy have been given more grants to do more gain-of-function research.
We've got loads of good stuff.
Yanis Varoufakis, I told you about, he's coming up.
And also, Vandana Shiva is going to be with me this Tuesday.
And if you're a member of the Stay Free AF community, You can join us live and you can ask her questions and all that kind of stuff.
We've got some other fantastic people like Jordan Peterson and Eckhart Tolle come in.
And I want to welcome our new members to the Stay Free AF community, Peanut and Van Ben.
Thank you so much for joining us.
Before we leave you, I... Is that not... Did I not say that right?
That's a good way of saying it, isn't it?
Peanut, Van Ben.
Why are they laughing?
I can hear people laughing back there.
They're laughing at me.
They're not laughing with me.
They're not laughing with me.
They're laughing in me.
But hey, do you know what I want to look at before we go?
I want to look at them people that is making a small fortune stripping in the metaverse.
Many people thought that the metaverse, when Zuckerberg dreamed it up, would become an hideous, heinous, erroneous, odious place.
But now I see that people are becoming rich from doing cyber stripping in there.
Maybe it ain't so bad after all.
Have a little look.
So that man just strips as that electric lady and he gets money for that.
Yeah.
Wow.
It's a lot of money.
So what 10 grand a week, two hours a day.
And that's a million a year or something, is it?
How far away are we getting from actual natural sex?
Like, there's natural sex to human beings or more, if that's your thing, having it off.
And then there's like, oh, I can't get that, it's too complicated.
I'll just, we'll watch some pornography.
That's already, once a month.
Then the pornography is metaverse pornography, where they're not even actual people, but they're sort of pixelated, generated people.
I mean, in the end, you might as well, like, masturbate over a packet of crisps or, indeed, have sex with an unattractive orange.
Yeah.
Because, like, how can you even contact your libido at that point?
My libido won't go for that.
Although, when I was a younger man, I suppose I would sometimes glimpse, perhaps, a ripe tomato and think it had something to say for itself.
You know, but those were desperate times, Gal.
I guess, you know, maybe this is just a version of when we used to When some people used to find it in, um, hedges and things, you know?
Yeah, but that was at least a picture of a person.
A person, I guess.
A picture of a person.
There was a young lad, there was a young lad, it was Playboy, that I would find under my dad's bed, and there was like, um, this is gonna affect the pound terribly, like, uh, like, there was cartoons in there, but I was only a boy, so the cartoon porn I liked better, because I liked cartoons anyway.
Well, there you go.
So this is that, is it?
Because they like games and everything.
Young Putin, you're that generation.
Yeah, I mean, the big one for my generation is GTA V. There's going to the strip club.
Oh, and that's enough?
Yeah, so this is like the next step on from that.
You go to Grand Theft Auto, you go to the strip club in Grand Theft Auto, and then you're like, well, I like her.
So, tell that young lady, ask her what time she gets off work.
Well, given that she's just some code, it don't matter.
She's at work, she's not at work.
But then I suppose you could say that if we are all projections of a higher consciousness and we're just playing out in the sort of intelligent data format of organic matter, then perhaps everything is an illusion.
And this was the very first question that I asked Radhanath Swamy, an enlightened priest that I met some time ago when I was about 26.
I goes, oh, so the world's an illusion, is it?
So, like, when I'm playing on my Xbox, I'm in an illusion in the illusion.
And he actually was unable to give me a clear answer.
They simply asked me to leave the temple.
Said, you're not welcome here, you're ruining things.
Stop doing that stripping.
For God's sake, put that orange down!
Although it's a bloody good looking one.
You can stay with us for a question and answer sesh in two minutes.
If you're a member of the Stay Free AF community, we're doing a deal.
You can join up.
There's a link in the description if you want to stay with us, ask us questions.
Sometimes people just stay there, chatting amongst themselves after we've gone, which I frankly find offensive.
Next week, we've got a fantastic show.
Vandana Shiva, Yanis Varoufakis, we'll be getting Yeezy on, of course, at some point.
Elon Musk, as long as we've not offended him.
I better text him.
I better text Elon.
But more important than any of those people is you!
You are who we make this show for.
You are the community that we're creating.
You are the future of our planet.
As long as we have free speech, clear minds, and glorious hearts, the future is assured.
Stay free.
See you in a minute on Stay Free AF.
Join up.
See you then.
Peace.
Ta-ta.
Man, he's switching.
