Time Text
I'm going to go ahead and get the camera.
I'm going to get the camera.
In this video, you're going to see the future.
Look, look.
Hi, what's up, what's up?
We've got a live shot there.
You are watching Stay Free with Russell Brand because we want you to be free.
Thanks for joining us.
If you're watching this on catch-up, hello!
Did you know that we stream every day at these times all over the world?
You can join us then if you're joining us right now.
Well, of course you know that.
I can see you in the comments.
And what a show you're going to be watching because today we've got some fantastic stories.
Of course in my country, Britain, we've got a brand new Prime Minister and I'm going to tell you how this guy's going to save the world because of his lack of affiliations with corporate money, lack of ties to elites around the world, We've also got a story about Gavin Newsom, governor of Los Angeles, and how he's got new legislation being introduced that prevents you and your doctor having a private chat about the most intimate of matters.
Also later in the show, we've got Dr. Bob Gill, who's a British doctor who refuses to let corporate health care firms run British medicine.
It's a fantastic story that covers things like Walmart getting involved in medicine,
information and misinformation you may have been given about certain medicines that we
can mention here on Rumble.
Like, did you think that you were led to believe that vaccines might prevent transmission?
Of course, what people are saying now, and we've got a YouTube strike on this basis,
is that they never led us to believe.
There was never a moment where they went, young people, you can't go to nightclubs if
you haven't got a vaccine.
Young people, even if you don't care, even if you think your own health is robust enough to help you survive, think of your grandmothers.
That never happened.
You imagined that.
If you join us for the whole of this week, you will see sessions with Eckhart Tolle and Tulsi Gabbard that you can join live if you join up to our Stay Free AF community.
There's a link in the chat that tells you how to do that and a link in the description if you don't happen to be watching this live.
But, first of all, the midterms are approaching and Nancy Pelosi will not confirm whether or not she plans to run again.
Let's have a look at Nancy.
Will you remain in leadership in the new Congress?
I'm not talking about that.
I'm here to talk about how we win the election.
But to deliver on all these things... I was only paying Andrea a compliment for all the experience that she has.
Who's Andre?
Why's Andre got to have a compliment?
It's Andre the Giant she's talking about.
Andre the Giant.
This is about time that people gave props to Andre the Giant for the way he inspired Shepard Fairey in his Obey campaign and Andre has a posse.
Weird that paying Andre a compliment.
Andre 3000?
Andre 3000.
It must be Andre 3000.
I think it is.
That's the priority.
Let's see where she goes.
But the fact is what we need to...
So you may or you may not?
I'm not here to talk about me.
I'm here to talk about the future America's working families for the children.
It's always about the children.
When did you think that Nancy Pelosi was about anything other than children?
Was it when her husband Paul Pelosi invested five million dollars in Alphabet?
Was that when you... That's of course the parent company of Google.
Is that when you thought she didn't care about children?
Or when Paul Pelosi suddenly invested a million dollars in Tesla shares right after the Biden administration delivered its plans to shift towards electronic vehicles?
Is that when you thought she maybe had some priorities other than children?
The children Or was it when you saw her literally elbowing children?
Was it this moment that made you think that Nancy Pelosi cared about something other than children?
Yeah.
There she is, just caring for that child.
She's giving it such a caring for, that child, isn't she?
That is what Nancy Pelosi does if a child has the...
The common decency to step into her immediate orbit.
Elsewhere in the Democratic administration, the dominant political force on planet Earth right now, Joe Biden zones out mid-interview when asked about a possible 2024 presidential bid.
I think it's not even appropriate to be talking to Joe Biden, I hope this doesn't sound insensitive, about living that long.
For you?
I mean, if you see someone that is in this condition, do you feel that it's appropriate to go, like, right, 2024, we're booking a holiday.
Obviously, you're there.
You're going to be in great shape.
I bought your trunks.
Here's your ski pass.
We're going to go scuba diving.
Do you want to do that thing where you go in a shark cage?
Seems like almost, like, superstition would stop me talking about that with someone in that kind of condition.
Yeah, I mean, I think a holiday is one thing.
Being the most powerful man in the world is probably another, isn't it?
Two years' time, I think it's fair to say we could book a nice, cosy chalet somewhere, potentially.
I'd say get him in that chalet now.
Like, don't wait.
We've not got time to dilly-dally on the chalet.
Get in the chalet!
Like, maybe, Joe, in two, three, ten years, we're gonna go in a nice chalet somewhere, dip your old toes in the water.
Like, talking about... Maybe one of them ones where the little fish, like, bite your toes.
Those little nibbly fish?
Yeah.
Yeah, they could be part of it.
I'm gonna think it's them.
Some people like that.
Yeah.
I like it.
I think he'd like it.
He'd love that.
Of course he would.
I mean, I don't wish to cast aspersions, but Joe Biden strikes me as a person who's got a lot of dead skin on his feet.
Just his feet?
Each side of his brain.
I think you could let them little fish swim inside of him and nibble away all of Maybe that's what's happening.
What's happening is he's gone on a nibble foot holiday.
He's gone to a spa where they do the nibble foots, and these fish have gone, why should I spend all day nibbling the tootsies?
They've somehow made their way up his cadaver, straight into the lugsy, and they're devouring sort of parts of the frontal cortex.
I think we've got an exclusive on our hands here.
This is why we came to Rumble.
This is what they won't let us say on YouTube.
You know them nibblefoot fish?
Has Biden got them in his brain, nibbling away on his noggin?
You heard it here first.
You heard it here uncensored.
This is the kind of information that's going to bring down centralised power and liberate you, no matter where you are on the political spectrum, to be empowered in your own life.
Thank God, Gareth.
Thank God we cracked it.
What a scoop.
It really is, isn't it?
What a scoop.
Let's see, actually, what this is, is Joe Biden on MSNBC.
I believe that is mainstream media.
It is.
That's what that stands for.
And he's... What was he responding to?
Do you know what the MS stands for?
Microsoft.
Well, is that what you're saying?
You think that Bill... Oh, oh, oh, I get it.
You think that Bill Gates, just because he started Microsoft and now this is Microsoft NBC, you think...
That Bill Gates would, like, dabble in the editorial from the news station.
Oh, I wouldn't dream of it.
Just because, what, Bill Gates, because he funds journalism schools.
What, because he makes donations to media organisations.
I'm just saying, I'm just saying.
Because he owns more farmland than anyone else in America.
You think, well...
Gareth, if I hadn't noticed that you've had a new haircut, I'd be insisting you put that on.
I won't do it.
But that's because of the new haircut.
You still ain't played that French horn we're all hankering after.
Let us know in the chat if you've got the horn and you want the horn bad.
Let's see what Joe Biden says in this interview.
I have not made that formal decision, but it's my intention.
My intention to run.
A formal decision?
Like in his mind, he's got like a decision network.
That's like an informal decision, now a formal decision.
Yeah.
He's not made that, but he's got an intention.
Yeah.
And we have time to make that decision.
Dr. Biden is for it.
What Gara thinks is happening here is that he don't know what this dude means by Dr Biden.
Like, hold on a minute.
Doctor?
Because of course his wife is Dr Biden.
But Joe Biden, because he's made so many gaffes, because surely spin doctors and advisors must continually be saying to Joe Biden, look mate, stop wandering off in different directions.
We're going to tether you by the nutbag if that's what it takes.
We will fishhook you so hard by your scrotum just to keep you from wandering off stage.
And don't do that weird thing where you go to 10 trillion, William Billion, Dr Biden?
Am I a doctor?
Did I become a doctor?
Is there a doctor in my mind?
So when that person goes, does Dr. Biden agree with you?
Dr. Biden? Am I a doctor? Did I become a doctor?
Is there a doctor in my mind? What's going on in here?
Dr. Doctor, give me the news. I got a bad case of loving you.
And possibly Alzheimer's.
So I think that what's happening there is he's sort of wrestling with what that information is.
Yeah, he definitely in that moment thinks, who is Dr Biden?
Whether he thinks, is it a doctor like just some Dr Biden who I don't know of?
Or am I Dr Biden?
He's struggling with who this Dr Biden is.
I think for Joe Biden that moment was like Kaiser Soze.
It's like Spacey at the end of Usual Suspects is like, wait a minute, Am I Dr Biden all along?
Am I going to look around and at the bottom of my teacup, Dr Biden?
Wait a minute!
I'm Dr Biden, yeah.
That is definitely a two longer hiatus for someone essentially referring to your wife and asking you the question, is your wife behind this bid?
But just asking it in a sort of respectful way.
Yeah, exactly, yeah.
Isn't it?
Yeah, it's exactly that.
Carry on?
Yeah.
Mr. President.
Oh.
Dr. Biden thinks that, uh, my wife thinks that, uh... Biden, who is my wife, which I knew, and I wasn't confused about it at all, because that's why I've just said it.
That I, uh, that we're doing something very important.
Wow.
That's not the answer I was looking for, is it?
No, it isn't.
I mean, it's not the answer that he was looking for that no one was looking for.
I mean, it seems like pretty abstract.
My wife, as a doctor, is perfectly qualified to ascertain whether or not I should be running at all!
I should be shuffling, shuffling slowly, dragging along like when a dog wipes its ass on a carpet.
That's the only way Joe Biden should be moving now.
But you want some sort of certainty in that response, certainty that was not delivered.
But fortunately, while American politics continues to crumble and atrophy as a result of stooges in positions of power, all is fantastic here in the United Kingdom because we have elected Well, no, we haven't elected.
Someone has elected Rishi Sunak.
In our country, we just put a new Prime Minister in.
No one tells you what.
You're just informed in the morning.
It's another one now.
Who's Prime Minister this morning?
I don't know.
What day is it?
Thursday.
It must be this guy.
Today, it's Rishi Sunak.
Now, Rishi Sunak ran, as recently as six weeks ago, against Liz Truss.
She is known as the Pound Murderer.
The Queen Slayer!
Now, even after being elected a matter of six weeks ago, he's the guy that's the cream of the crop, he rides to the top.
And yet, Rishi Sunak, in case you don't know, he is part of a hedge fund that are the biggest investors in the Moderna vaccine.
Something like that.
Let me just check the facts absolutely, even though we're on Rumble, I like to tell you the absolute truth.
Founding partner of Phyllene Partners, a major investor in Moderna.
And one of the executives managing its US office.
He's also, right, so that's his involvement in the corporate world, because you might think that as Prime Minister in a country like ours, at a time of crisis, after we've just had Barmy Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister that held parties the whole way through Covid lockdown, decorated his flat at taxpayer expense, Then sort of weirdly didn't act on a number of peculiar cases.
Then Liz Truss, a person that shouldn't be trusted, I think, with her own profile and face and haircut, let alone a nation's well-being, to bring in a new dude that has got such strong ties to the corporate world, to the financial world, seems woefully irresponsible and doesn't seem like the change of direction That doesn't seem right, does it?
The Prime Minister's wife doesn't pay tax in this country.
a non-dom tax status billionaire, non-dom tax payer, non-dom tax status billionaire
who claimed taxpayer furlough cash to pay employees all the way through lockdown.
She doesn't pay tax in this country.
But that doesn't seem right, does it?
The Prime Minister's wife doesn't pay tax in this country.
Why should I pay tax in this country then?
Why should you pay tax?
She's not registered here, Russ.
She's not registered?
She's a non-domicile, isn't she?
So where's she domiciling?
I'm not sure where, but it's somewhere, probably one of those islands where you don't pay tax.
One of them islands that when you go there it's just filing cabinets full of lies.
In the sand.
Yeah, that's it.
She's just in sandy cabinet land.
Oh man, that can't be right.
He's from a very humble background, though.
What, she is?
He is.
So he went to Winchester College, a training ground for Britain's rich elite, before graduating from Oxford University in 2001 and going on to study at Stanford in California.
So, very, very normal.
I learned my prime ministering on the street.
And when I say the street, I mean the streets outside Stanford and Winchester.
That's what gives me the ability to understand ordinary people at this time of immense suffering and confusion during a cost of living.
We used to talk about the cost of living crisis at Stanford and at Winchester.
And sometimes I could hardly afford a crumpet.
Sometimes I was down to three nannies down in Winchester.
My last... throw the last nanny on the fire!
It's a cost of living crisis!
Let's have a look at Rishi Sunak.
Shall we look at him while he's at university?
All right, look, this is what I will say for Rishi Sunak.
He's handsome.
That's what I'm saying.
That's what I'll say for him.
Handsome.
I have no problem saying that.
Handsome.
You were very taken by this clip, weren't you?
Like, I heard someone else say, I don't think he's very handsome, but I'll say he is handsome.
Yeah.
So, like, let's put him in the, like, Macron Trudeau.
Like, he's got good hair.
He could be in a hair band with them.
Well, they're all part of the WEF, so... That's good news!
Thank God this guy's part of the WEF.
Then we can ensure that democracy remains meaningless, that the edicts tumble down from on high, and when the WEF guidance ain't enough, your affiliation with your billionaire non-domicile wife will keep you in check.
And your historic relationship funding the Medina vaccine, which he will not admit that he's not profiting from, will keep you in check.
Freedom!
Democracy!
Drink it in!
Drink in that sweet democracy!
We'll be fine.
Watch that pound shooting up, baby, because the pound is shooting up because this dude's an affiliate with the city.
So we can see in real time that the market dominates these decisions.
That democracy is a show, a charade.
Hit me up in the chat if you think that's true, whether you're in the UK, the US, or states.
Wherever you are in the world, not in Russia, though, because... No, we don't hear from you guys.
In fact, you probably won't be allowed to watch us on the internet.
We'd have you on Rumble, wouldn't we?
Let's have a look at plucky, fresh-faced Rishi Sunak talking about his relationship with what he calls ordinary... Working-class people.
Friends who are aristocrats, I have friends who are upper class, I have friends who are, you know, working class, but, I'm not working class, but I mix and match.
Working class, don't take it to ridiculous.
No.
I will go down a middle.
Yeah, that's the furthest I'll go down, though.
On the spectrum of classes, that's it, we won't go back to the video.
You can go full screen.
On the spectrum of classes, we do upper class, that's all cool.
Middle class, that's all right.
Working class, thank you!
He's getting a little bit smelly down there.
I liked how his dad was looking on all proudly.
Is that his dad?
Yeah.
That's good.
No, he's not going to mix with the working class.
Like I taught you, son.
Middle class, they will work at some of your companies.
Working class, they're going to be out back clearing up your garbage.
You don't want to talk to them or you'll start feeling ashamed about the nature of the relationship.
Don't get involved.
Here is Rishi Sunak now showing you how normal he is at a gas station.
And this must have been set up by the mainstream media because he can I love it!
Look at that!
That is the hard-working British working class.
because he got that Moderna money baby, allegedly.
They will put billions of pounds back in the pockets of hardworking British.
I love it, look at that, that is the hardworking British working class.
A geezer in a crash helmet.
Ah!
Whenever, don't you like that?
Isn't that one of your most favourite things in the world?
To see people in the background of a news report.
Whether it's that bloke in a hurricane casually walking to his car while someone sort of does something that looks like it's a French mime in a gale.
Or just the classic, what's he saying?
Give us some money for a beer.
Is that what you mean?
It does look like it, yeah.
He's like, give us a tax break for a bit.
Can we go back a bit on that and see what does this person mean?
What does he want?
He comes in... They will put billions of pounds back in the pockets of hard-working British families.
In a sense, you can see the disjunct between the governing and the governed right there live.
That's the governing.
We put money in the hard-working pocket of the stink pocket nitwit pocket-a-roos.
And then like, we need to get shots of you doing normal stuff.
These are propaganda techniques, I hate to say it, devised by the Nazis.
That's where this stuff comes from, all the holding babies.
You know this already, you don't need me to tell you.
Although, I'm not saying he's a Nazi, obviously.
But it's like, all the holding babies.
And again, the impression of reality versus the experience of reality.
You're invited to let go of, oh yeah, I'm probably not poor.
I probably can afford my fuel bills.
I probably can remain spellbound in the spectacle of democracy.
If I don't like this one, we can vote for the other party.
Slightly different.
Mouse farts worth of difference party.
Don't allow them to suck you into their stinking little lies.
Also, do you reckon that?
That can't be his car.
He's worth nearly a billion.
It's not his car.
It's not even his car.
Of course it's not.
That's his pretend car.
Pulled it up on the monitor down there so you can see.
Oh, that's brilliant.
Well done.
Rishi Sunak used Kia borrowed from Sainsbury's worth of petrol instead of his government Jaguar.
Amazing.
They can't be honest for 10 seconds.
They can't get their way through a news item.
Do you know what's not gonna make me look like an everyman?
That's putting fuel into my gas-guzzling Jaguar.
No longer British, by the way.
Could I borrow your car, just for a moment?
I'm not gonna get in it.
It stinks of poverty and Pringles in there.
I can smell your poverty, Fufa.
That's because I've been living on tins of soup.
I don't need the details.
I just need to borrow your car to look normal for a second.
Tell you what, you can keep the petrol after I'm done.
Okay, I want a bit of money.
Actually, there's a little technique where I can put a straw into that, we can suck that fuel back out.
The same way what we do is we suck taxpayer money out of your pockets and we give it to big business.
Like the big businesses that I truly represent because I'm literally a hedge funder who has a billionaire non-domicile wife.
So you can see that's how deeply entrenched in the British working class I am.
But he's still not finished pretending to be normal.
Well done on that fact.
Perfect.
I've got the petrol and candy.
Number three.
Number two.
He don't even know what those things are, does he?
I've got this.
I've got my... Who's this little guy?
This probably is... This is more emergency petrol.
Brain petrol, this is.
And then I've got this little box of triangles.
What's this screen all about?
What's this for?
Why's that?
Why's that?
You're worried about being coughed on?
Why?
What happened?
I tell you what, I'll give the triangle box to my nanny or to my butler.
And this guy, straight into the lunchy hole to kill off any of those fish that done Joe Biden's brain in.
The nibble fish.
There's the one what gets ya!
It should be 30 quid and a penny.
It's a Twix, the good value chocolate, isn't it?
It doesn't know what to scan.
The Twix.
Two for one.
The delicious Twix.
Why buy one bar of chocolate when you can buy two?
This is him sort of trying to cash in on his credentials as a financially astute person.
And now I'll just carry out the everyday action of the old scanning.
I'll just take my wobble-a-roo and put that straight on my triangle box.
And there you go, a perfectly happy transaction.
Now back into my Kia to drive back to my scum pit that I can't afford to heat anymore.
So there you have it.
Rishi Sunak, man of the people, talking to a people, only to borrow a people's car to pretend to be normal for 10 minutes for a news item.
But the truth of the matter is that this is a representative of the elite.
And don't If you start getting all jazzed up about voting for the other party, they're almost exactly the same.
They might give a little pipsqueak fart amount more to National Health Service or whatever, but you ain't getting an election yet anyway.
So I'm just trying to preempt, I'm just trying to stop you from going, should we vote for the other one then?
Yeah, well they've announced, I think Keir Starmer said, they're going to be a party of austerity still, even if they get in.
So they've just said out loud!
Because when, even if there's a brief moment where someone in the political sphere has the stones to say, I'm going to represent ordinary people, which means prioritising working, middle class, ordinary people ahead of corporate interests.
You're not going to get this from a man who Yes, they'll drive a pretend car to stop people not lynching him.
I'm not suggesting that this is a time for violent uprising.
I'm suggesting this is a time for due cynicism when it comes to the aesthetics of the political class.
It's gone too far.
Do you think it's gone too far?
Wherever you are in the world, you are part of a global community now.
You have the same interests as the poor people in Pakistan, the same interests as the poor people in Sweden, Finland, anywhere in the world, the British, the Americans.
There is one unified community now, and we should have far as possible from one unified government, decentralised power everywhere.
So people can run their communities in their areas of expertise, understanding and knowledge.
This, just another performative piece of politics, as the pretend car demonstrates more clearly than anything that he could say ever did.
And I don't mean that with any malice towards him as a human being, because I've already said, I think he's quite handsome.
Yeah.
I agree.
I think he's come into himself as well, with age.
Oh, he's much better looking now.
He's gorgeous.
I mean, he's absolutely gorgeous.
If I was... Right, in my new item, Gay For A Day... Oh yeah.
We haven't discussed this before the show.
It's a new item.
Gay For A Day.
It's complicated.
I don't know if you... Let's see if you can follow the concept.
I'm gay for a day.
Okay.
Now in that day... Is that 24 hours or...?
Mmm.
Well, yeah, no, yeah.
You're not going to waste the night time, Gal.
Yeah, the witching hours.
That's when I'll be at my gayest.
In the morning, I'll be just easing in to my new gayness.
Into my new gayness.
And then in the night time, full gay!
Now, by that point.
Although, I don't know, really.
Should I be gay for a day?
Probably not if it's just for a laugh.
There's a spectrum, isn't there, of the old sexuality.
It becomes clear that culturally I was conditioned quite strongly to not be gay.
I could have pushed back.
Is this the moment where you announce something?
It's like we've come from politics to... Well, I do think that, actually.
It's one of the things that makes me sympathetic broadly to the idea of identity politics, that you are given, whilst there appear to be biological realities, when it comes to the expression of those biological realities, I feel that you are given templates quite aggressively and forced to conform to them in a number of ways.
So, that's just something to ponder.
Game for a day!
Who knew it would be Rishi who did it?
I think it was the power, to be honest, mate.
I'm so, like, there's so many complexes at work there.
You know, like, the need to be taken care of, the need for proximity to power, the idea that I could be a non-domicile.
And look at that, we were just checking.
We were just checking the rumble chat.
There's only two gender!
Well, it doesn't matter, does it?
It doesn't matter.
That's not where... Don't get distracted.
Don't get distracted.
Focus on where power is.
People without power cannot change the world.
It's so obvious.
It's so clear.
It's so plain to me.
Focus on where the power is.
And let me tell you where the power is right now.
It's between you and your doctor.
Our item today, here's the news now, here's the effing news, looks at Gavin Newsom, who I know you're gonna love, he's the governor of California, as well as, um, wanting to come between your relationship, we're not there yet, James, just for a note, for a thingy, that's out the back, right?
I'm gonna do that stuff about opening the books out the back, so go to the front, go, like, go the other way, right?
I don't need that stuff about Gavin Newsom there, what I need going into the video is what the video's about, alright?
So don't, yeah, don't, like, that's out the back.
Okay, sorry about that.
I just thought we'd do a bit of production in front of you guys, because it's best to learn in the moment.
You're never more available for learning than when you're on the back of the horse or when you're in the ring.
Put them into it.
Gloves on.
There's a whole team of people here.
I can see it all.
Working very hard.
Over there, that's Subi and Will.
Subi does the social media.
Will prepares a lot of these videos, edits some of the videos that you'll see later, so you can stay in touch with us.
Over there is a man called Dan.
I don't know if you can see him in the wide shots.
He's operating a camera.
In fact, go to Dan's camera right now.
And then you can sort of see, look at that, a little bit of motion.
That's Dan.
Gareth, of course, produces the show.
There's a floor manager.
I usually keep a banana.
What's that?
You want to make that your thing?
Well, I don't know.
I just thought, let him in.
Let him in!
I usually eat that in the break.
The thing's meant to be the French horn!
No, it's not.
It's a banana for now.
That's meant to be your thing.
Get you a huffin' and a puffin'.
Right, look at this.
Gareth, playing the French horn live on Rumble.
That has been signed!
We only need to get it to 100.
Sign it now.
Forget rumbling.
Go sign that petition.
Put the link in the chat, young Putin.
Let's get Gareth playing that French horn.
And also, let's ban him from eating bananas during the show, just out of nothing other than malice.
Sheer malice to prevent a man accessing potassium.
OK, listen, now we're going to show you... Did you know that Gavin Newsom just gagged your doctor?
And I don't mean gagged as in, like, down the larynx, or even literally gagged.
I mean that the state are going to determine what is misinformation and disinformation when it comes to advice around, you know what, we can say it because we're on Rumble, around vaccines and those kind of medications and medicines.
Yep, dems are getting gagged, baby.
Here's the news.
No, here's the effing news.
Thank you for choosing Fox News.
Here's the news.
No, here's the fucking news.
California have just passed a bill meaning that doctors can be sacked for spreading COVID misinformation.
If the state are intervening between a doctor and a patient, what is left of your world now?
Do you want the state peering into your bottom?
Do you want the state taking your temperature?
If doctors can't give medical advice, what's next?
Today, Gavin Newsom, the California governor, has just signed a bill meaning that doctors can be sacked for spreading COVID misinformation.
Of course, any doctor should be sacked for not telling the truth, or not conveying medical information accurately, or doing something in a medical context that could be harmful, but I believe they've already got an oath for that, the Hippocratic Oath, do no harm.
Now, Do you trust the government to intercede in the space that exists between you and your doctor?
If, by some miracle, you can actually see one.
For me, this is another example of government overreach.
Of the government trying to control what you believe, what you see, what you understand.
And given that the government likely get their advice and the information from a non-elected globalist body like the WHO, Funded by Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, who ultimately is in charge of your body and your health.
And we know, don't we, that the government received considerable revenue through lobbying and other means from the pharmaceutical industry.
So where is your health in all of this?
This is not a conspiracy theory.
Let's stick to the facts.
Let's see what's true.
Let's see if there are any administrative or global bodies trying to come between you and your doctor and make decisions for ourselves, whether or not that's what we want for ourselves, our families, our loved ones.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed legislation that would allow the state medical board to discipline physicians and surgeons who spread coronavirus misinformation during... The bill, AB2098, states that any licensed physician or surgeon is committing unprofessional conduct if they disseminate misinformation or disinformation.
That should be bloody obvious anyway, about the nature of risks of the virus, the prevention and treatment of COVID-19, and the development, safety, and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines.
If there's a sort of a backlash of doctors not agreeing with it, does that mean that there might be medical grounds?
Is there a long history, is there, of doctors going, Well, I simply refuse!
I simply refuse to apply Band-Aids to a bleeding wound!
Just spit on it!
It'll be fine!
Is there a long history of people going, Ripping out dialysis machines?
I don't believe in dialysis machines!
Is it being a problem up to now?
Misinformation is defined in the legislation as false information that's contradicted by contemporary scientific consensus contrary to the standard of care.
Contemporary scientific consensus.
Who provides contemporary, of this time, scientific?
That means we did experiments.
Consensus?
That means we all agree.
Let's make sure that those terms are alloyed to and allied with The law would designate spreading false or misleading medical information to patients as unprofessional conduct, subject to punishment by the agency that licenses doctors, the Medical Board of California.
That could include suspending or revoking a doctor's license to practice medicine in the state.
Boot doctors out, suspend and strike off doctors that disagree with them.
But already during the pandemic period, we've seen key workers, medical professionals, nurses, doctors lose their jobs for refusing to undertake certain procedures, which YouTube guidelines prevent me from elaborating on.
But I suppose might relate to the recent admission by James Small, the Pfizer executive, who said Did we know about stopping humanisation before it's entered the market?
No.
And it seemed like those sackings were as a result of people being infectious, not that I have an opinion on those matters.
Well, actually, I do.
And you can see that opinion over on Rumble.
But here on this platform, I have no opinion on that.
On this platform, Rumble, you better believe I've got an opinion, baby.
While the legislation has raised concerns over freedom of speech, Forget it!
You're free to say anything you like that we already agree with!
Come on, say some stuff we agree with!
Uh, well, there's no problem with global finance overtaking national sovereignty?
Exactly!
While the legislation has raised concerns over freedom of speech, the bill's sponsor said,
the extensive harm caused by false information required holding incompetent or ill-intentioned
doctors accountable. I think we'd all like to see incompetent and ill-intentioned doctors.
I mean, isn't that something?
Oh my God, we never noticed.
There's all these incompetent and ill-intentioned doctors out there.
So you'll say your son's got a bad ass?
That's right, doctor.
We're very worried.
Okay!
Merry Christmas!
Did we not have a means for screening them out?
No!
It's only since COVID-19 that we've even considered the idea of doctors are not the greatest people in the world.
Oh, well, thank God.
What a relief.
Thanks for helping.
In order for a patient to give informed consent, they have to be well informed.
Well, I couldn't agree more heartily with the idea of you being given all of the information and being able to make a decision for yourself.
This idea that doctors are so poorly informed that they're going to lie malevolently to their patients For a laugh, should be nipped in the bud.
The more I read about this bill, the more I see how necessary it is.
All these evil, cackling, wicked, vicious doctors out there just dying to tell you lies about necessary and helpful medical procedures.
I'm glad Gavin Newsom stepped in when he did.
Interesting that Gavin Newsom, during the pandemic, felt safe enough to even have that!
Dinner party where people weren't wearing masks with all this misinformation and disinformation everywhere.
Phew, lucky escape.
He must have a special bad doctor rod somewhere in his governor's mansion.
Oh look, there's another one of those sons of bitches trying to bad advice me to death.
California's legislation reflects the growing political and regional divisions that have dogged the pandemic from the beginning.
Other states have gone in the other direction, seeking to protect doctors from punishment by regulatory boards, including for advocating treatments involving hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, and other medications that the American Medical Association says remain unproven.
And I certainly wouldn't like to contradict the American Medical Association there.
Not on this platform.
The bill says doctors have a duty to provide their patients with accurate, science-based information.
That would include the use of improved vaccines.
Science-based information.
Science-based information.
None of us have got any problem with science-based information.
Like this.
You know, that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don't get sick.
That the virus stops.
With every vaccinated person.
You want to be a dead end to the virus.
So when the virus gets to you, you stop it.
You're not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.
Still up on the platform.
Not misinformation yet, guys.
What about the explicit and now known relationship between pharmaceutical companies and doctors, in particular around the opioid crisis, which led to them recommending medications that were ultimately bad for their patients as a result of essentially lobbying within the medical industry?
Isn't that something that More important and more in need of immediate address.
Making sure that doctors aren't pressured by pharmaceutical companies into prescribing drugs and medicines that are not necessary.
Doesn't that sound like that could be at odds with what's happening now?
Disempowering doctors, disempowering medical professionals.
Weren't it two years ago?
Our best, our bravest, and our finest.
Those great doctors that are helping us through this pandemic.
Okay, where are we now on this timeline of taking over the earth with our evil agenda?
We're at this point.
Doctors are bastards now.
Don't trust them.
They're in there lying to you through their teeth.
Liana S. Nguyen, professor at George Washington's University Milken Institute School of Public
Health says, The legislation will have a chilling effect on medical
practice, with widespread repercussions that could paradoxically worsen patient care.
I don't think that's a paradox.
The problem is that medical practice is rarely black and white.
Much of the time, broad recommendations are intended to be tailored to the individual patient.
Take the recent guidelines on booster shots.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended that everyone 12 and older receive updated boosters.
Most doctors would probably agree that elderly individuals should get the new booster right away, but many might advise, as I would, this is her, not me, I don't have an opinion on this platform.
That it's fine for some patients to hold off and time the booster closer to winter holidays.
Some providers might not recommend boosters for children and adolescents, especially if they have already had coronavirus.
So this is hardly a radical person.
This is a person who clearly agrees with vaccines and even coronavirus vaccines, but has a sort of scheduled approach to the administration of those vaccines that would be prevented by this legislation.
So even if you're not a kind of Let's call you a conspiracy theorist, because, in the eyes of the world, you are.
Even if you're not that, you're just a person that's like, hold on a minute, I'm an informed scientist, then it's still bad!
So what's the objective then?
AB2098, taken to the extreme, could put many practitioners at risk.
But is it really right for physicians to be threatened with suspension or revocation of their license for offering nuanced guidance on a complex issue that is hardly settled by existing science?
How dare you!
How dare you offer nuanced guidance on a complex issue that is not yet settled by existing science!
You're a monster!
That sounds like someone going, OK, listen, you could do this, but I just want to make sure.
Actually, the science isn't settled yet.
Get the fuck out of here, you maniac!
It's hardly Harold Shipman.
look him up, Americans.
Indeed, another lesson from Covid is that science is constantly evolving.
In a public health emergency, official guidance often lags cutting-edge research.
Consider how long it took the CDC to acknowledge that coronavirus is airborne.
Moreover, recovery from infection in combination with vaccination conveys strong protection,
but the CDC still does not consider infection to take the place of a booster.
If a young patient didn't want a booster for this reason and their doctor agreed,
should this be a punishable violation?
Again, this is clearly a very modest and pro, we might say, conventional, mainstream science analysis that still takes issue with this legislation.
So you don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to oppose this legislation.
But it helps.
Medical practice is nuanced, even when there's clear evidence.
For example, studies have shown that steroids are not helpful in outpatient treatment of patients with COVID-19, but certain patients, such as individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma, might benefit from them.
And physicians need to use their best clinical judgment for their patients' unique circumstances.
It's weird, it's like the creeping fog of centralised tyranny is now entering into spaces Where, like, that's their... their allies now are being choked.
It's like the friendly fire of tyranny will eventually kill us all.
California's bill is a recipe for medical practice to be subject to the whims of partisan politics.
It is political.
And it challenges the basis of the doctor-patient relationship, a fundamental principle that must go back to, like, witch doctors and healers and wise women and stuff, like.
Well, what are you doing in there with the wise woman?
You can't trust her with that toad and those good intentions.
Get her out of there!
That's a time of deep division when trust in health officials has already been eroded.
Bills that threaten doctors should be reconsidered before unintended consequences create far more problems than the legislation tries to solve.
It's almost as if the objective realm of science and the functional framework of medical practice are now being infiltrated by ideology.
That you can't be free in any of these spaces, that they would have us automatons, whether it's just ordinary civilians, or doctors that have undergone seven years of training.
They're now subject.
If they haven't been conditioned by going to medical schools funded by pharmaceutical companies, being lobbied by pharmaceutical companies, and there's still like no...
Firing it all off, determined to do their best for their patients.
Well, now we're going to legislate against it.
Even the writing of Liana S. Nguyen, who is clearly a person that is pro-vaccine, and I have no opinion on that.
I think you should do what's best for you, best for your family, best for yourself.
Of course, why would I have any other attitude?
She still sees this as dangerous, corrosive, anti-democratic, and a breach of the fundamentals of the relationship between a private citizen and their private physician.
What do you think's at work here?
What is this legislation and regulation an expression of?
Whose ideology is it?
Whose intentions are at work here?
And what regulation do we really need to protect us?
If we need protection from our doctors, then God help us in the face of a globalist agenda.
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 see you in a minute.
Well, we asked you and you told us the Zen Master says we need a new party to take state power and bring these criminal corporations to their knees.
Thank you, Zen Master.
He also says science is captured by financial interests like everything else under capitalism.
Can you reckon they can hear my dog out there?
Yeah, I think they will be able to.
Annoying, innit?
The Gray Man 100.
Corruption is so deeply entrenched, the only way forward is to rip up the way things are done now and start again.
My Brain My Choice says, yes, political class has taken their obligation too far.
It's all about control and power to the politicians today.
Lisa Marie Shankle says, re-read 1984 by George Orwell.
Well, it's funny you should mention that, mate, because we are doing books with Brad, with the philosopher Brad Evans, who is doing 1984 with us.
If you didn't see the first episode on Friday, you can watch it now on Catch Up.
It's a fantastic episode, a brilliant conversation between me and Brad, and I'll tell you a bit more about it later.
On the subject of Rishi Sunak, Firegirl2020 says, Oh no, that's going to catch on!
That'll be enough!
That'll be enough for some people!
Dishy Rishi!
Won't it?
Yeah.
Idishi Rishi, he'll go.
Idishi.
And that'll be fine.
See his nips.
What's that?
Jingman33 just says, see his nips.
That's what it says.
Whose nips is this?
Does it mean Rishi's?
Rishi's nips or my nips?
Who nips you talking about?
Uh, and then some people, mate, at least some, like, want Gareth to, uh, play the French horn.
There's a little survey, not survey, what is it?
Petition.
It's a petition.
There's a petition.
Only needs a hundred things.
Instead of pressing rumble, actually, as well as pressing rumble, smash that rumble like button.
Smash it!
Also, sign that petition, then we can... I think petitions are enforceable by law.
Definitely, absolutely not.
Well, no, I think that the petition is enforceable by law.
You could do a petition for anything.
Oh yeah!
Okay, gay for a day.
New petition.
Make ol' Russ gay for a day.
I'm gay for a day now because we had a petition.
Only one person signed it.
Anyway, it's a petition.
Who's is it saved?
You don't need to know all the details.
Mind your own beeswax!
Anyway, let's get that petition signed up.
Fishy Rishy, that's better.
Well done, Jenny Orchid.
That slows it down.
John Kershaw, Sunak is a haircut with teeth.
Wishy Rishy.
You're doing some good nicknames there, guys.
Well done.
I think that will take the wind out of Rishi's sail, some of this stuff.
But the fact is that Chobigar44 says, give us the horn.
GinPhoenix22, get on the horn, Gareth.
P-Don, we need more French horn.
All our new Stay Free AF members, which means they get access to the unique content we do with Jordan Peterson, Eckhart Tolle, Jocko Willink, whose episode is on tomorrow, are saying things like, You're saying things like, give us some more horn, that's banana AS.
Ladyfry, I'll horn you till it hurts.
BB3, horn me baby, it's the brass trumpets I'm a-wanting.
BMagic says, you can press my buttons, I needs the horn.
And Confused Queen says... Hang on, someone just went and typed these out, didn't they?
These are not real comments.
How?! !
Gal?
Where did you go the last five minutes?
I've been busy.
I've been very busy the last five minutes preparing the show.
Preparing an interview with an actual doctor.
Oh yeah.
With an actual doctor that does proper doctoring.
Who doesn't, when you say, will you do your job, i.e.
paying the French horn, don't go, that petition is not enforceable by law.
That's not actually in the Geneva Convention.
Oh, so now you're down for regulation, are you?
Oh, interesting.
Not centralised!
Sounds centralised to me!
It ain't!
A hundred!
It's a hundred!
It's a hundred brave souls on a stream!
That is what we are.
No one in between.
Gareth playing the French horn.
Six have signed.
Guys, get on there and sign that.
We've got to get it to a hundred by the end of the show.
Is your French horn in the car?
No, it is not.
Where do you keep it?
It's at home.
Well, you're moving closer now.
We'll be able to get that horn.
Play it again in the... Right, get on there now and sign it up.
But for now, let's follow up a little bit with... Have we got time to follow up on Gavin Newsom?
Yes, we have.
Gareth wants to tell you these things about Gavin Newsom, L.A.
governor, or California governor, actually, and where he gets some of his funding from.
Gareth, tell us all about it.
Yeah, well, I guess what's interesting is... Sorry.
What's interesting at the time when we're talking and we've just done a piece about your, essentially Gavin Newsome presiding over your medical autonomy, basically is what's happening.
Gavin Newsome presiding over your medical autonomy?
Yeah, and the relationship between... Gavin knew some people in the medical industry and he took their money.
That's right, yeah.
Whose people did he take it from?
So we'll go from medical autonomy to the medical industry and Gavin Newsom is quite... Were you planning that, Link, in your head?
Yes.
And that's why you're angry that I'm not giving you time for it.
I thought it was pretty good.
Do it again then, it was good.
We're going from your medical autonomy to the medical industry.
We've gone from medical autonomy... It's not that great.
It's better if I say it.
Do you know what we've done here, Gail, is we've gone from medical autonomy to the power to the medical industry.
Yeah, that's right.
Another example, as Assange says, of taking public money and power and placing it in private hands.
Yeah, well, Gavin Newsom's taken quite a lot of money, actually.
How much?
Well, he says he's quietly solicited millions of dollars in campaign donations from major healthcare companies.
So while progressives decry corporate money in politics, Gavin Newsom has embraced the highly unethical practice of soliciting campaign cash from state contractors.
So open the books, we've used them loads of times, they've done some great stuff on Fauci and money that he's received.
So they found 979 state vendors who gave over $10 million in political donations to Newsom during his 2010-2022 election cycles.
Meanwhile these companies reaped over $6 billion in state payments.
So they lobbied To the tune of $10 million in campaign funding and reaped $6 billion in state payments.
That means they were rewarded contracts by the California state that amounted to $6 billion.
Let me know in the comments, let me know in the chat if that smells of corruption to you.
How you feel about that?
I see one of them here, Gal, is that major healthcare companies gave $691 grand in campaign donations and yet received $1.9 billion in state payments.
I mean, we're not in America, but this seems to be how American politics is run, isn't it?
It's sort of a carousel of cash, people rising to positions of public prominence, telling you you can't tell the truth to your doctor and your doctor can't tell the truth to you, or only the truth as prescribed by the state, and then taking a big bunch of dollar from companies that have a vested interest.
Yeah, they call it here legalized money recycling scheme, ultimately, is what's happening.
Yeah.
I don't like it, gal.
But it just seems, you know, pretty rich when you're essentially gagging doctors to then take a lot of money from the medical industry.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that gets on my nerves.
I think it does.
Gets right on them.
Anthem Blue Cross, health share insurance provider.
Received over $844 million in state payments while donating $69,000 to Gavin Newsom people that would help him along the way his campaign in the 2018 and 2022 elections.
That seems like a brilliant return on an investment.
You pay $69,000 to a campaign, you get back hundreds of millions.
I mean, $69 million.
I can't remember the numbers.
$844 million.
Yeah, you can also see that there might be a bit of a direct link between healthcare companies and a kind of top-down diktat of how doctors should be prescribing things to their patients.
Allegedly!
Thanks very much.
It all fits under the banner of centralised health, ultimately, doesn't it?
Centralized health, centralized currency, centralized power, centralized ideology.
You will own nothing and you will be happy.
Rishi Sunak, another product of the WF, rises to a position of public prominence.
This is a global phenomena and people that talk about it, let me know in the chat if you think this is true, get called conspiracy theorists.
But how are these narratives altering over time?
Things that you couldn't talk about six months ago, things that you still can't talk about over on the What we call the dirty tube.
The dirty sticky tube.
They've given us real censorship.
They've struck us where it hurts, haven't they?
They struck us so hard for simply saying what we believe to be a version of the truth.
What was it we said again?
Or was it his fault?
Young Putin, wasn't it?
Yeah, I mean basically we made an error suggesting that on the NIH website that they were recommending ivermectin when in fact they were doing clinical trials.
So it was confusing.
It was wrong.
All I said was, is the Queen, God rest her eternal soul, was a lizard.
And all of a sudden, you'll be getting called a conspiracy theorist left and right.
Hydra.
Hydra.
No.
Hydra.
Hydrochloric.
Oh no, I'd learned it earlier.
Someone told me that actually.
Hi.
Hi.
No, but they taught me a technique.
Someone taught me in the chat a brilliant technique.
Sign that petition, you lot.
Sign that French horn petition.
How are we up to?
21.
Keep signing.
Keep signing.
We've got to get to 100.
I'm glad we've got a doctor coming on in a minute.
I think you're losing your mind.
No, hydroxychlorine!
I did it earlier, even when I saw it down.
Hold on, let me look at it written down again.
Hold on, because I can do this.
I can do this.
Where is it, gal?
I can't see hydroxychlorine.
Ah, bollocks.
Where is it?
The woman, I think it was, broke it down into Do it where you break it down for me again, in the thing.
Will someone do it?
Oh, no, they're not helping me with that.
If someone shows me it written down as a real word, I can say it now.
Well, they're obsessed with the French horn now.
The French horn is coming.
Don't worry about the French horn.
Where is hydro... Oh, yeah, that's it.
Hydroxychloroquine.
That's it.
As long as I remember hydroxy.
Yeah, hydroxychloroquine.
It's as easy as that.
I mean, it only took me ten minutes.
It only took the absolute derailing of the show.
For me to manage the pronunciation of a word that's been in common usage for months and months now.
I still don't know how to say DMT is a word and I'm always talking about it.
Yeah.
Not taking it though.
Hey, earlier on we were talking about the significance of 1984 and what it alludes to and what it potentially prophesized and the value in observing the differences.
Well, last Friday, and you can watch this right now because it's up on Rumble, and it's only up on Rumble, me and the philosopher Brad Evans.
Gareth joined in a bit, but until that guy starts playing the French horn on demand, we're not interested in his opinion.
Sign the petition, sign the petition.
So if you wanna have a look at a beautiful analysis of Orwell's classic book, join us next week when we will be analysing... I'm still thinking about hydroxychloroquine.
Get the doctor!
We've got an actual doctor coming here in a minute.
Dr. Bob.
A brave doctor.
A proper doctor.
A doctor who cares about patients more than he cares about a stinking dollar bill.
Have a little look at our book club and let me know if you fancy watching it.
Let me know in the chat.
Have a look at this.
His pen had slid voluptuously over the smooth paper, printing in large, neat capitals.
Down with Big Brother.
Down with Big Brother.
The point about Orwell is when he says 2 plus 2 equals 4, What he's really concerned with is power in such a way that can say 2 plus 2 is 5, and not that you will just basically say it because you know it's wrong but you will go along with it, but you actually believe it.
Prime Minister's on a conveyor belt and doddering presidents.
It's clear to see that power itself is in some kind of shadow.
Firesnake0 there.
Firesnake0 says, Russell pulled a Biden because of my stumbling and a stammering.
Ah, sweet bird of youth.
Neri, will we know your like again?
We have a fantastic guest now.
It's Dr. Bob Gill, a family doctor and activist who cares more about his patients than money.
Dr. Bob, welcome to the show.
Thank you, Russell.
It's so lovely to be able to see a doctor without the complications that typically come along with such an appointment.
Any time for you.
Oh, really?
I've got a lot of things.
My lower back hurts a little bit.
I've had doubts.
I've gotten obsessed with being gay for a day.
There's so many things to cover.
It's no longer a medical matter.
It's a matter of the human spirit.
Doctor, what do you think about this new legislation by the state of California to intervene in the private communication between patients and doctors?
Isn't that sort of covered by the Hippocratic Oath, the idea that doctors must do their bloody best?
It's a very big worry.
It's a step in the wrong direction.
It's legal overkill.
I think it doesn't surprise me because there's been a drift of censorship controlling the narrative.
And this brings in a legal sledgehammer to make sure that doctors and health professionals remain silent when they have concerns.
And that obviously has patient safety implications if you silence concern.
Already as a profession we're relatively um we're not an outspoken profession and if you introduce laws like this this will further silence when there's legitimate concern.
So I'm very worried about it.
Thanks doc.
Now way back at the beginning of this pandemic there was a lot of advice and I feel a culture of How do I want to frame this carefully and sensitively?
It seemed to me that we were advised to get vaccinated not just on the basis of our own health but because there was an element of social responsibility.
Now with the recent revelation from Pfizer executive Jane Small that there were no clinical trials on transmission And in fact that there was no obligation for there to be trials of that nature.
This is something that we absolutely would not be able to discuss on any other platform.
So guys, I hope you're enjoying this.
I hope you're enjoying the Rumble experience right now.
Do you feel that there was a sort of a suggestion, culturally, that, you know, stop the spread, that vaccines were effective in that way?
Absolutely.
This formed part of the narrative.
We, you know, you played clips of key people within, like Dr Fauci, who was saying, absolutely, this will prevent Transmission, but it didn't make sense along with everything else that we were being told.
For example, they were encouraging people who had had the.
The virus to still go and get the vaccine that didn't make.
Sense on a basic medical level.
If you've already suffered the illness, you have innate immunity.
That immunity is stronger that we we know now confirmed is much stronger than the immunity given by the vaccine.
So they were using emotional blackmail, a sense of duty to your seniors and to your community to force people who are very low risk.
For subjecting themselves to a vaccine for which we had no long-term data.
And actually, Doctor, these are important values.
If you think that the entire stance during the pandemic was undergirded by the idea But we have a responsibility to one another.
Beyond looking after my own health, I have a responsibility to people in my family, but everyone that I interact with.
How can you extract that sort of sociological notion, use it when it is potentially profitable, and then abandon it when it is no longer profitable?
This is something that has bothered me from the beginning.
The principle that we should be taking care of one another, that we have shared interests, is something that I absolutely fundamentally Agree with but the idea that that that that would be misused to promote needless potentially and allegedly needless procedures is I think it's tantamount to a type of bribery well you could class this as pharmaceutical fraud if the drug companies if Pfizer was telling
Telling the health policy makers, look, we can prove that this blocks transmission.
Well, they were misled and they need to go back and clarify the record.
They must say, you know, there was a problem in the data.
We didn't get full access to the trial data.
We were misinformed and we apologize.
But that wasn't the narrative.
And that wasn't the style that they took.
They were very definitive about everything.
They were very certain about everything.
And at the beginning, we were we were led to believe, take one vaccine and that would be it.
But now there's a booster, there's one, there's two, there's three, there's boosters for the most vulnerable.
So this seems to be mission creep.
And, you know, we weren't allowed to talk about whether this was a lab leak right at the beginning.
There were some very creditable people that I listened to very early on in 2020 who said the genetic makeup of the virus, if you analyze the nucleotide sequence, they do not occur like this in nature.
So there was serious, credible concern about the origins of The virus and that was more or less censored out of discussion.
Doctor, that's fantastic information and only here are we free to discuss it in the depth with an expert like Dr. Bob who is not only a medical professional and a family doctor but also an activist for responsible medicine.
for responsible principles around medicine.
Essentially, that medicine is a private matter between you and your doctor and that it ought be focused on the well-being of the patient, not on the well-being of the pharmaceutical industry.
Gareth, I know that these are issues that are important to you because we make this show together and we've made many of our essays on this subject together.
What would you like to say to the docs?
Because I know that you and I have sort of slightly different views on this subject.
I mean, I think even apart from the effectiveness of vaccines and who should and who shouldn't take them, I think when you look at recent news that Pfizer are putting up the cost of the vaccine to $130 in the States, that's a 10,000% markup.
It must be difficult to argue that that's anything other than profiteering at this stage, and it seems that we're in a place where, a bit like discussing nuances around, say, the war in Ukraine, that any nuances around Big Pharma have got to a point where they're beyond comment now, that we are censored from even criticising them.
And I think that whatever your feelings about vaccine and who shouldn't take it, or who should take it, Surely it's impossible to argue against something like that.
Why isn't that being spoken about, like, more?
It's the capture of policy makers, our politicians and the corporate media.
This is the problem.
It's almost being normalized.
Profiteering is being normalized.
But, you know, we know you don't need that markup.
In fact, it was already extremely profitable to them.
And if we're following a capitalist ideology, supply and demand, well, the demand is waning.
The price should actually come down.
So it's totally scandalous what they're attempting to do here.
And they know it's underwritten by government.
The taxpayer will be paying for this.
Excellent.
Pedon says, my brain can't comprehend the good doctor's science words without a French horn playing in the background.
Young Putin, I see you've pulled up some facts there that we can share with our viewers about Pfizer's plans to charge $100.
Let's have a look.
So what do you think about this, Doc?
In 2023, when the vaccines are no longer purchased, Gareth, would you like to fill in?
Yeah, I mean, that's it.
So they're going to go into the market officially, aren't they?
The government's no longer going to cover it.
And so I guess, like anything, they're becoming a commercial product now.
Hence, we did a story last week about them teaming up with Marvel.
So is it now that we're in a situation whereby they are literally entering the same kind of market as any other product?
Yes, in America, it's the most commodified and commercialized healthcare system in the world.
If you learnt anything from the pandemic, it was you need a system that looks after everybody.
What Pfizer is attempting to do is profiteer and at the same time exclude everybody who couldn't afford, let's all assume that this is A good medical intervention where you're isolating probably the most vulnerable group, the poorest and the sickest who can't afford to buy vaccines.
Now, as it is, there's a lot of doubt around whether people should be paying for this vaccine anyway, given the markup, as we've just discussed.
But within the NHS, which is a publicly funded system, you can use something called monopsony buying power.
You are the biggest purchaser of healthcare and you should be able to knock down the price of any drug you buy.
America is the opposite.
It's guaranteeing massive profits to corporations and then the politicians get in return campaign funding and donations to their parties.
Doctor, that's all the time we have to cover this subject on Stay Free with Russell Brand.
If you are a member of Stay Free AF, you can join us and ask questions directly to Dr. Bob on this subject.
Now, tomorrow we're going to be talking about the military-industrial complex profiteering from the Ukraine war, and the guest on the show is ex-Navy SEAL and fantastic thinker Jocko Willink.
I asked Jocko outright Could the Nord Stream Pipeline have been done by Navy SEALs?
Can you tell me as a Navy SEAL?
So you've got to watch that show tomorrow.
Now join us, the Stay Free AF members, for the rest of this conversation.
Remember, we're going to be talking to Dr. Bob in a bit more depth.
And tomorrow, and this week, we're going to be... Now I want to promote the Eckhart Tolle and Jordan stuff here.
Is it on the teleprompter?
That's what I will definitely want this year for future, okay?
This is where I really want it, at the back of the show, okay, James?
It's all right.
We're building this show as we go along.
It's part of the joy of being with us here.
Now, also, when is that live session with Eckhart Tolle?
Is that tomorrow, James?
Tomorrow!
If you are a member of Stay Free AF, which is available for a small fee, the amount of money you probably spend on, I don't know, potatoes!
Although they're probably very expensive for the cost of living crisis.
It's less than a vaccine.
For a third of a vaccine, you can vaccinate yourself against ignorance by joining me with Eckhart Tolle.
And always reverse it.
Put the American Times first always.
That's where the majority of the audience are, if you don't mind.
Let's standardise that.
You can join us for a live session with Eckhart Tolle tomorrow at 11 a.m.
That's PT, 2 p.m.
EDT, and 7 p.m.

Is there anyone who better embodies the spirituals of Prince of Awakening?
For me, he's the man.
So join us there tomorrow at 7 if you're a Stay Free AF member, and also if you're a Stay Free AF member, stay with us now to continue the conversation with Dr. Bob and ask him whatever question you have.
And also, if you Have a hankering for a little bit of French horniness, baby.
Get that survey to 100, and we will be having a French horn session right now.
Thank you very much.
If I have to make you a French horn using parts of my own anatomy, Gareth, by God, I will do it.
I will French horn myself, if that's what it takes.
So, see you tomorrow.
If you're not yet a member of Stay Free AF, and if you are a member of Stay Free AF, see you in about one and a half minutes.
