	I'm going to go ahead and get you out of here.
	I'm going to get you out of here.
	In this video, you're going to see the team perform.
	Hello there, it's Thursday.
	Thursday is a special day on Stay Free because we have an intimate opportunity to go through the news in more depth.
	You can join us in the chat and let us know what you think of this format where we give you unique access to me.
	Back in the old place.
	Back here together.
	On Rumble, every day, five days a week, talking to you about the news that matters and spiritual ideas that can change your life.
	You know we have a wide range of guests on this show.
	Why, recently alone I've spoken to Eckhart Tolle, Jordan Peterson, only the members of our Stay Free AF community have seen my chat with JP, and I tried to get to what I'm going to call the nub of the matter.
	In which I said, how do we square kindness, love and compassion with discernment?
	A discernment, of course, being a fancy word for judgment.
	When I spoke to Eckhart Tolle, I was surprised to see all these, all these chats are up on Rumble, by the way, you can look at me anytime.
	I was surprised to learn that he has pretty strong views about globalism and about the way that power is being centralized.
	Our function on this show is to help you to feel that you are safe and happy being who you are.
	That you are a member of a community and that we can change the world together by overcoming the cultural differences that are deliberately stoked by let's call them big media who want us to stay in futile opposition so that we can never confront the centralized forces of power that they tacitly support because they are financially supported by them.
	We've got a whole host of stories today Our item, here's the news, no, here's the effing news, is about the truckers.
	Remember how the truckers were portrayed as Nazis?
	Oh, you Nazi truckers.
	Well, a leaked insider report has revealed that those truckers were peaceful and that the establishment, in this case the Canadian establishment, knew that they were peaceful.
	We also talk about the sacked New York City municipal workers who lost their job for being unvaxxed.
	Unclean!
	Unclean!
	...campaigned legally to get their jobs back.
	Took a case to the high courts.
	A judge ruled they should get their jobs back.
	New York City are trying to block it.
	Why are they trying to change the narrative and blocking us from the truth?
	Why are they asking us to forget what happened just a few years ago?
	I'm not interested in conspiracy theories.
	I'm interested in conspiracy facts.
	Let me know in the chat what you're interested in today as we take a deeper look.
	I want you to let me know what guests you want to see on here, what subjects you want to get discussed, and remember in the chat, talk to one another with love and respect.
	We could start right here, right now, treating each other decently.
	With me today for these conversations is a man who's just moved his head slightly to acknowledge that I'm about to announce him, my producer and creative partner, Gareth Roy.
	Gareth, what news stories in particular are you looking forward to discussing today?
	Well, we'll talk a little bit about this item that we'll do later.
	About the New York City workers.
	We'll talk about the truckers.
	We'll talk a bit about what's going on in Canada in general.
	All sorts of interesting stuff going on in Canada with Trudeau.
	The Emergencies Act and all sorts.
	Oh yeah, the Emergencies Act.
	That's only to be used in an emergency.
	That's right.
	Can't just describe anything as an emergency.
	Start screaming emergency because you're worried about your fringe.
	Bangs in America.
	Oh my God, it's an emergency!
	It's an emergency!
	What is it?
	People are expressing opinions that I don't agree with.
	If we say they're Nazis, would that help?
	I suppose, wouldn't be right though.
	So you want to talk a bit about that?
	We'll talk about that.
	We'll talk about how people who are trying to Take this case to court.
	I've still got their bank accounts frozen and so they don't have the money to pay for it Which is well if you want to take us to court, you're gonna need to pay for it.
	I'm a bank accounts been frozen Sorry, sorry.
	Yeah, you shouldn't have a legally protested.
	It wasn't illegal That's why I actually want to go to court for and I can't go cool because you've frozen my bank account.
	Oh It's Kafka-esque, that.
	That's what Kafka was all about describing, I think, is like how bureaucracy was inducing a kind of soulless, nihilistic futility.
	You're trapped.
	You're trapped and there's nothing you can do about it.
	The bureaucracy has become like some demonic force.
	This is the sort of stuff me and JP were talking about.
	I was going to say, what was this knob that you got to with him?
	I wish I'd not used the word nub.
	No, you did use it, and then... Because what do you think of?
	It made me think of things.
	Well, I'll tell you what I'll think of.
	With a nub, I think about the smooth and inoffensive genitals of a Kent and Barbie doll.
	That's what I immediately went to also.
	That's its nub.
	And I thought, because of some of the conversations you'll have had, I wondered if that was the appropriate word.
	Because we talked about transgenderism.
	All that kind of stuff.
	We did talk about transgenderism and I tried to sort of fashion a new space.
	A nub?
	I didn't try to fashion a nub, that's not the game I'm in baby.
	I tried to fashion a sort of a space of consensus between us where I'm saying like Jordan I think that I want us to be able to talk about like love and real deep values Well, you know, there's more to love than just compassion.
	And I'm like, yeah, no, Jordan, there is more to love than just compassion.
	There's duty.
	There's oneness.
	I think it was a good conversation.
	I think our viewers are going to love it.
	And I hope it's a conversation that can bring people together.
	From Olivia Wilde, who damned JP as the king of the incels.
	To the people that are sort of so devoted to JP, they're not really even interested in discussing these fissures.
	He, personally, he's someone that I respect, but I'm really grateful that I get an opportunity to talk to these people.
	I don't think that the answer is to not have conversations.
	Do you?
	Absolutely not.
	No, no.
	I mean, that's hopefully what, I mean, I haven't seen it yet.
	I look forward to seeing it.
	We'll have it on later in the week, will we?
	You're allowed to see it whenever you want.
	You can see the files with us as well to help us to check our facts.
	And there's an irony in that, because one of our YouTube strikes was as a direct result of the lack of fact checkery from young Putin.
	Are you going to help us today, young Putin?
	Certainly will.
	Why did you make that mistake, do you think, with the ivermectin?
	Because you wanted to believe it.
	I got excited.
	Yeah, finally, the day's come.
	I was right all those years!
	I got mocked.
	Because on the UK government website it said Ivermectin is under clinical trial, so like Imir, one of our researchers and an important member of our creative team, got all excited.
	We went, Ivermectin by the way?
	Well it was confusing.
	It was on the NIH website as one of the... Where's NIH again?
	The National... Institute of Health?
	Institute of Health, yes.
	Is that American one or our one in England?
	American I think.
	Yeah.
	It was under one of their lists of treatments under the coronavirus and so we went with what we saw on Twitter that Will found and then when we looked into it when you click on it it said it's undergoing clinical trials so it's not been approved but it was a little confusing.
	Ivermectin is an antiparasitic drug that should only, under any circumstances, be used on a horse, or a pony, and in the form of paste.
	We ignore that.
	Under no circumstances give this to Don Lemon, or it will irritate him to within an inch of his life.
	How did it become so controversial?
	Do you know what I'm most interested in?
	I thought it was alright to disagree with people, like even from, don't you remember when you were a kid, at Christmas or whatever, Like, everyone's drunk, and people are like, NO!
	NO!
	ABSOLUTELY NOT!
	And they think, oh, this is just normal life.
	No, it's like, you know, like in America, they just say if you're a Trump, like, say the sort of democratic centre-left people, if you're a Trump voter, you're absolutely evil.
	And I suppose both sides blame one another.
	Obviously our friends, we come from professional media, urban class now, even though I'm from a place called Essex, Gail's from a place called Hull, we've been in media for so long.
	So those metropolitan, professional, liberal people, that's what we were around.
	And if you read the articles I was writing years ago, what you will note is that I was always anti-establishment, but anti-establishment from the left.
	I was never about, hey, why don't you give the government more and more power?
	I was more about Destroy, attack, attack, attack, big business, attack, big business, you know, don't trust them.
	So it has always been laced with a bit of conspiracy, but it was always coming from the perspective of the left of the anti-censorship folk, the left of the pro-free speech folk.
	And like this odd new thing happened where libertarianism and the sort of what has been dubbed the alt-right became the only anti-establishment voices.
	Yeah, I don't think it was ever, but it was about attacking the establishment.
	It wasn't about attacking either side, to be honest.
	I mean, I remember when we were doing The Trues and we We've made loads of videos about Obama's drone strike policy and all sorts.
	Did we?
	He was in power and we were doing that at the time.
	We were.
	We were saying even Obama, he's meant to think he's all cool because I'm from a background where I think it's cool that people of all different colours and cultures are in positions of power, but I ultimately think it's not that important if the power structures that they represent still ultimately drone children or support the interests of big business.
	You know, when I see stuff like Rishi Sunak showing people celebrating Diwali, I feel like, oh, that's good.
	But like, you know, outside Number 10 down the street, there's people celebrating Diwali.
	I love the religion of Hinduism.
	I love the Hare Krishnas, for example.
	And I love the mythology of the Vedas and the Hindus, generally speaking.
	But like, if Rishi Sunak is Rishi Sunak in the crunchiest of crunchies, A Hindu man risen to a position of power, or is he ultimately a former WEF stooge, former Goldman Sachs employee, who when it comes to the hard, cold matters of policy, will not be looking at the back of Abgeeta, but will be looking at the W-H-O-I-M-F-W-E-F.
	Yeah, and his property portfolio with his billionaire wife.
	Here comes a fact.
	I can see you've got a fact jazz on there.
	There's absolutely tons on Rishi Sunak.
	Do you want me to read from it?
	It'll involve a read.
	If you imagine that you're here simply to have a nice profile and a denim shirt with an unnecessarily small pocket.
	It's far too small.
	I mean, what are you meant to put in that one?
	I don't know.
	I'd say a little thumb warmer.
	Yeah, maybe.
	I say that's for a condom.
	Sure.
	And that one's for some penny pencils.
	Got it.
	I'll consider that.
	Do you want me to read a bit about Sunak?
	I do.
	Now, wherever you are watching this in the world, what we're talking about is the sort of the appearance of power and the artifice of that power.
	A figure like Rishi Sunak, who, you know, I would say, oh, that's cool that there's a Hindu person, excuse me, who ain't white, in a position of power.
	Well, look at this.
	Britain's new PM is almost a billionaire with a net worth twice that of King Charles.
	So if you're sat about going, yes, we're finally, we're beating the system.
	There is a Hindu man.
	There's a Hindu man!
	Of course that in isolation is a good thing, right?
	But there's not many people that are willing to look at other things in isolation like that.
	People now go, Gandhi, oh well, he may have led a peaceful revolution against the British Empire, which was the sort of the The semaphore, the sign of corrupt power of the day.
	But he did this weird thing where he slept in a bed with his nieces.
	Let's hone in on that.
	Or Che Guevara may have led a socialist revolution in Cuba, but he participated in the execution of gay men afterwards.
	So everyone always sides with the bad thing there.
	They side with the bad thing.
	Like, now forget the communist revolution.
	You execute gay people.
	That's disgusting.
	He's off the Christmas card list.
	Uh, Gandhi led, uh, and then, you know, or Martin Luther King, apparently, you know, you hear, like, slept with somebody he worked with, was some stuff about misogyny, all of this allegedly, allegedly, allegedly, allegedly, what do I know?
	Because what I've, the reason I'm citing the names Gandhi, Guevara, King, is because I've always looked at them for this reason and this reason alone.
	They led powerful movements against the establishment and they showed there is a way.
	There is a way.
	Not they are perfect and they've never done anything wrong.
	It's like some sort of moral Jainism where not even a flea is crushed, not a blade of grass is bent double.
	They did something unbelievable!
	Cuba was a mob state!
	A mob state propped up by America.
	Now, I know a lot of Cuban people.
	A lot of Cuban people.
	I literally know them because I've lived in America a bunch of times.
	So, like, that was a terrible, bloody, awful revolution for a number of reasons.
	And, yes, I understand what you're saying.
	I, to a point, agree with you.
	But I'm saying, if you're talking about this now, at a time where you want to overthrow establishment power, what kind, where are you going to look for your heroes?
	Gandhi?
	Nonce.
	Guevara?
	Homophobe.
	King?
	Misogynist.
	Philanderer.
	Okay, well, let's just sit here now while we're punched endlessly in the face by corporate power, and meanwhile, Congratulating ourselves that Rishi Sunak is a Hindu man, and that's a good thing, but what religion matters?
	The Goldman Sachs, WF religion, or the Hindu religion?
	And we'll see now, based on what Gareth Timberlake says.
	Well yeah, it's not like we elected, or they elected, because we actually didn't elect him.
	Yep, it wasn't an election, it just was one of those ones where they go, Prime Minister!
	New Prime Minister!
	Coming through!
	It's not like it was, oh and now the new Prime Minister, Vandana Shiva, is it?
	That would be a good step in the right direction, but it's like the richest MP in the country, you know, married to a billionaire.
	He's the richest one.
	Apparently the richest one was, you just saw he's got twice as much money as the King.
	Well, his family has.
	We are gonna elect the Hinduist MP.
	Isn't he also the richest?
	Stop!
	Look, don't get distracted by that.
	He's the Hinduist one that we've got.
	Focus on what a good thing this is for redressing racism.
	A necessary and important job.
	But not so great when it's used as a distraction.
	Not that I'm seeing so much of that happening, actually, because I think people are a bit, like, wise to it now, aren't they?
	I think so.
	I think with the Tories in general, I think actually with probably both parties, people are a bit wise to it, that it's not going to work in this country.
	That no one's saying, as you kind of always talk about, Ross, that no one's kind of saying, we're going to look after ordinary people.
	And while we're on the subject of Vandana Shiva, this is a woman who's willing to confront power, who's interested in aligning spiritual principles with social and political principles.
	She's been a guest on this show numerous times, she's a participant in Community.
	Here is a look at what Vandana Shiva stands for.
	For everything we think, we are building strong.
	You know, build back better, their slogan.
	No, with nature there's nothing, you can't build back better if you don't work according to her ecological laws.
	And that is knowledge, you know?
	That is following the way the earth systems work.
	There's our new Prime Minister.
	I would vote like, you know, now I'm like, I'm no fan of pointless voting just for the ritualistic purpose of bringing another set of stooges of the corporate world into some congressional or parliamentary building.
	But Vandana Shiva is a woman who would change the world and I believe that that's exactly the kind of leadership We need.
	So the point you're making is, by promoting one aspect of Rishi Sunak's character or demographic data, you are ignoring some stuff that's significant, whereas with Vandana Shiva, Hinduism and her principles are all anti-establishment.
	The whole thing is like an attack on power, an attack on Bill Gates.
	Justified, not conspiratorial.
	He's buying this farmland.
	He's painting in these seeds.
	He's pursuing these policies.
	It's not made up.
	It's not the nanobots.
	It's nothing weird.
	It's stuff that's underwritten by, you know, a lifetime of academic endeavor.
	That's why I love her.
	Quantum physicist, understands agriculture, understands politics, understands leadership.
	You know, this is All day long I'll be voting for her.
	Yeah, well we talk about Bill Gates, we talk about the WAF and you mentioned Rishi Sunak.
	So Rishi Sunak has family ties to a technology partner of the WAF, World Economic Forum, that has advocated for Chinese Communist Party style economy complete with trackable digital identities and currency.
	That's Rishi Sunak?
	Yeah.
	He's advocating for it.
	So the father of Sunak's wife is the founder of InfoSize, an Indian information technology company that provides services to a host of Fortune 500 companies and banks.
	So this is the official partner of the WEF, which has been accused of seeking to develop the technological infrastructure to implement a global social credit score system.
	That's what they do for a job.
	This company.
	So it's not like the family of Rishi Sunak's wife, just by general virtue of the fact that they're rich, are part of this potential trend and tendency towards centralising surveillance and digital power.
	No, they're an actual partner of the WEF.
	And this is an information technology company.
	I can't believe it!
	Why didn't you tell me this before?
	I don't know, I just found out.
	When did you find it out?
	Just a bit earlier, I thought I'd do some... Today?
	Yes, today.
	While you were gallivanting.
	I wasn't gallivanting, I've seen a psychiatrist.
	I've actually seen a psychiatrist in a desperate bid to maintain some control of my mental health.
	So emphasize President Mohit Joshi has penned articles for the site in favor of digital banking which provides the technological framework for the social credit score system the WEF has come under scrutiny for attempting to, you know, building across the world basically.
	That's what the WEF, one of the things that it's been most criticized for isn't it, is about this kind of social credits lurch towards the social credit score.
	I think one of the things we're understanding about digital currency Is how it's going to basically take hold of our finances and make us again coming back to the Canada Truckers Movement we talked about before that ability for them to just freeze bank accounts because they were through GoFundMe as in kind of digital sites the way that PayPal did it with Mint Press we spoke about yesterday as well.
	This is something that, as we're talking about how they'll be, you know, for our benefit, these digital currencies.
	It'll be nice and convenient, won't it?
	It will be ever so convenient.
	So Sunax, bang into that!
	It'd be convenient to be in that pink stuff that Neo's in at the beginning of The Matrix.
	Sure.
	Just laying there with a nice, like, sort of hosepipe in the back of me neck, doing effort.
	Well, there are days when I think that it might be nice.
	I'd like that.
	I mean, that's basically what heroin is.
	You've got that pink bath soap that Neo's in, and he's like, oh, I don't have to think anymore.
	Good.
	I'm finally not thinking.
	Oh no, I'm in the Matrix though.
	I don't know, there's some confusion there.
	What about when they say, and young Putin, you might have a view on this, but the WEF They're not that bad.
	They're trying their hardest.
	I don't think it's... You see Yuval Naharari, you know, who's been on our show before, promoting his books.
	And really, they're just saying, look, these are the most powerful governments in the world.
	These are the most powerful economic and big tech interests in the world.
	These are models that would appear to be effective if these apparent trends of technological advancement and centralizing of power continue.
	Like, they don't...
	It's not like Klaus Schwab is actually like... He actually is trying his best, but... Well, I say this, and I don't mean to say this in a mean way, Hitler was also trying his best.
	Hitler wasn't going back to his bunker, or the Wolf's Lair, I believe it was called, and going like... He was like, oh God, I've got to make this... Why did Operation Barbarossa on the Eastern Front not work?
	Well, Hitler, because what you've done is you've destabilised your military hierarchy.
	Is this the documentaries again?
	Might be.
	You know, there's a lot about the Nazis, does Russ.
	I think about them a lot and I don't agree with them, obviously.
	No, I wasn't suggesting that.
	I was just saying... I don't sit there watching a documentary going, that's a good point.
	I'm like watching it going, oh God, don't do, no Hitler!
	Every time, you know, like with the death of Diana.
	I've told you that story, haven't I, about my history teacher who my mum thought kind of brainwashed me into thinking Hitler was quite good.
	I'd like to know more about this man, Mr Roy, if you don't mind indulging me.
	I used to come home from history lessons and I'd bang on about how clever Hitler was, because basically that's what he'd told us in a class.
	He's taken a risk there, that guy, isn't he?
	That's not what to focus on.
	No, it isn't.
	The thing is with Hitler is it's always got to be caveated.
	Always.
	You've got to go, look, let's face it.
	The annihilation of the Jewish people, the gays, gypsies, drug addicts, disabled people, all the people that are marauding into Russia, the annexing, the expansionism, that is bad.
	And then, it's almost anything after that you say, you know, what is the claim?
	Have you seen Norm Macdonald?
	Norm Macdonald goes...
	Everyone says, what a great public speaker Hitler was.
	Like, the German people use it as their reason.
	Like, well, did you see Hitler?
	He was such a... But then when you watch him, he's like... It's not like, he's like, oh, you silver-tongued devil!
	It's not charisma in that sense, is it?
	It's not charisma like, um, who's that guy, like, that's the new Darth Vader, Adam Driver.
	Oh yeah.
	It's not like Adam Driver.
	It's not like, oh god, or Chris Hemsworth.
	It's not like Chris Hemsworth's in charge, like, fucking hell, you're gorgeous.
	Yeah.
	Like, or like that, is it?
	No, it's intense.
	This is what I believe it is, is that there's an unexpressed rage, and he becomes an avatar of that unexpressed rage.
	One time, I was sat next to the director of that film, Naima Tafava, he was called, I can't remember his name, will you look it up for us Putin, who directed Naima Tafava?
	And he had these amazing theories about Hitler.
	He said that Hitler became the sort of the vengeful vagina of the German people.
	And he said like he was always lit from above and with that moustache, the moustache... My vagina?
	I suppose he had like a little Brazilian... Oh, like physically?
	Yeah.
	I see.
	Like he was like the sort of the sort of ven... like after the sort of punitive Treaty of Versailles and the crippling of Germany after the First World War, Hitler rose as an avatar of anti-Semitic rage of the Aryan people.
	Who was it?
	It's Jim Sheridan.
	Jim Sheridan.
	I sat next to him on a plane.
	My God!
	You know when you're sat next to someone on a plane and you think, oh no, I'm sat next to someone on a plane.
	I don't want to talk to them.
	I hate everything.
	I don't like socialising.
	I want to be on my own.
	I don't even want to go on this plane.
	Probably a bunch of thoughts.
	Anyway, he started talking and I was like, oh no, this is going to be boring.
	Then he said the most amazing things about Daniel Day-Lewis.
	Did you know it was him?
	Before he started talking.
	Not before.
	At the beginning, he was like, oh, he's just Irish and that.
	Right.
	And then, like, I go, he goes... Do you like Daniel Day-Lewis?
	Oh, mate.
	Shut up!
	I'm not interested in Daniel Day-Lewis right now.
	I worked with him once.
	Yeah, all right, mate.
	Sure you did.
	We've all worked with him once.
	Well, I saw him once.
	He's always so slim and intense.
	I drink your milkshake!
	I drink your milkshake!
	Have it!
	Because I want my milkshake.
	If you're going to be like that about it, it's too much.
	Focus on your shoes.
	What do you mean?
	What, cobbling?
	Yeah.
	Actually, I brought that up with Jim Sheridan.
	Did you?
	He goes, I saw them shoes, they weren't very good.
	They weren't even that good at making them shoes.
	Daniel Day-Lewis becomes a cobbler.
	Anyway, so he goes, you know, I'm in the film business myself, he said.
	I goes, oh yeah.
	I go, what do you do?
	He goes, I direct films.
	I go, anything good like?
	He goes, Name of the Father.
	That's an amazing film!
	They do this brilliant story of the Guilford Four and their wrongful imprisonment, which was deliberate, malicious imprisonment of innocent men and women because of the troubles and the bombing of mainland Britain during the conflict between the Irish people and the British.
	Anyway, it's a wicked, amazing, cool film.
	Told me some good stories about Daniel Day-Lewis, including that his shoes weren't good enough, and had these amazing theories about Hitler, and sort of Hitler as an archetypal figure, rather than Hitler as an individual.
	And this actually pertains to what I was talking about before, with, like, flawed heroes.
	The heroes with the feet of Clay, Gandhi, Guevara, and let me know in the chat, let me know in the comments, a lot of people say they don't like, so, say if you're a Cuban person, like, my maid-size missus, she'll, like, she, like, she's, like, she's, like, not at all down with that Cuban revolution.
	Right.
	And a lot of people are sort of super against it and like, oh, it's terrible and like, you know, but, and that's not something I want to get drawn on.
	I don't want to get drawn on it.
	I'm not telling you what to think.
	I'm not telling you what to think.
	I'm saying that my personal journey requires of me that there are people, that I draw upon people that stood up to power.
	So like people like Malcolm X, Che Guevara, Gandhi, all of those people.
	I'm like, well, how did they do that?
	How did they do that?
	And it sort of fascinates me.
	Well, we got here by talking about Klaus Schwab and the WEF.
	Yeah, and I'll get back there because I've written it down in my little pad.
	In my mind, I've got a whole journey all the way back, right?
	And like Hitler, he said, as a symbol, he becomes sort of an avatar for an unexpressed energy.
	And in a way, even though that sounds highfalutin, it's obvious as well, because if there is an unexpressed energy that's sort of in a culture, a population, and if you're saying there is a culture and there is a population, i.e.
	is there such a thing as Italy?
	If you sort of know those borders are arbitrary, the claim that there's a culture is arbitrary, well then, What is Italian cuisine, culture, football, cars, art, painting, renaissance, history, principalities, Garibaldi, the Unification Mussolini?
	I mean, there is a thing there.
	It might be slightly more porous, amorphous, and shifting than we assume, but there's sort of, we can have an agreement that there's a thing called Italy anyway, so once you've broadly agreed that, then you can say there is a culture, then you can say a figure like Hitler rises up to sort of express an ulterior emotion.
	And Jim Sheridan, he was almost sort of tongue-in-cheek.
	He wasn't sort of saying, These are some academically underwritten ideas.
	It was like amusing, a whimsy, that Hitler could be regarded... He said, like, you know, that, like, there were these two ideas.
	One was the moustache makes it look like he's lit from above, like he has this sort of divine light on him at all times.
	I thought, wow, that's a cool piece of semiotic analysis.
	And then the other thing was, like, he was like the sort of the mouthpiece vagina of a castrated nation.
	Like, and although that sounds sort of mad and bizarre, in sort of this common Freudian, but if somewhat disregarded now, idea that, you know, the idea of castration, and what is the vagina as a symbol, as well as what is the vagina as anatomy, what is the phallus as a symbol, as well as the phallus in anatomy, and these, you can sort of, I spent my whole childhood being told, like, oh you think too much, don't think about stuff like that, who cares, it's bollocks.
	But it isn't bollocks.
	I thought you were going to say I spent my whole childhood thinking about genitalia.
	I know it was quite a big proportion.
	Too much of it.
	I mean, a significant part of it.
	So anyway, like, I suppose the way this sort of goes back to like, you know, the WEF and Klaus Schwab is like, because Hitler did not think he was being evil, obviously, you know, that's almost like a sort of a cliched point to sort of say everyone in their own life thinks they're doing the right thing, even a psychopath, perhaps.
	And And Klaus Schwab, I sort of can tell from his general eyes and tone that he's got that, you know, sort of like salivary, blubbery sort of quality that he's got.
	Like I can imagine it'd be quite nice to go around his house for Christmas and maybe... It'd be a big house.
	It's a big house.
	He's well off.
	He's got a big parking space.
	His dad had some sort of cagey job and all, I think.
	Anyway, I don't think he's like, I think he's like, this will work very well if we people only accept that property, you know, because I mean, that's in the song, imagine, imagine no possessions is one of the things.
	And he's just saying, instead of imagining it, we're gonna do it.
	I think look, in the worst case scenario, there's something Quite nefarious going on, because when you put out a piece of marketing that suggests people won't own anything and they'll be happy, I mean, it's dystopian, there's no doubt about it.
	No wonder it's got people's backs up and people mistrusting not only the WEF but anyone kind of involved with it.
	Or, in the kind of best case scenario, it's a guy who we know is kind of pretty arrogant and gets off on this having all these billionaire and celebrity mates and putting on this event once a year and doing all these speeches, basically greenwashing all these billionaires through the idea of philanthropy.
	I think the worst thing you could probably, one of the worst things you can accuse him is obviously this vision of his that the solution to all
	our problems is billionaires.
	Because those are all the people that he trots out on these, it's always Bill Gates, people like that,
	members of, you know, politicians, all of those world leaders. That's what he thinks. He thinks
	the solution is people in power and billionaires and they're going to solve all our problems.
	Let me know in the comments, let me know in the chat.
	Do you agree with what Gareth just said?
	Where on the spectrum do you think WF and Klaus Schwab is?
	How far do you want to go with this stuff?
	Do you want to get into all the sort of like the sort of Blood Ritual, Blood Rite, Pizzagate stuff?
	Or are you happy to look at this, and this is what I would recommend and advocate for, just that which can be demonstrated and improved?
	You know, which is literally technocracy.
	Someone actually in the chat that taught me that, you know, that the different technocracy is a kind of aristocracy.
	That's like a council of experts.
	That is a technocracy.
	And that's what they advocate for.
	Look, you dummies, shut up.
	We're going to have a council of experts.
	And essentially that's already happening because democracy, the ability of democracy to shift the movements of a culture are very, very limited in most countries that, you know, that we're communicating with.
	There are a couple of parties or sets of alliances in countries that have a more diffuse form of democracy and they broadly believe in the same thing.
	Some people, like, you know, I bring this point up a lot.
	It was Brad Evans who runs our book club.
	You see that every Thursday or Friday.
	We're talking about George Orwell's Ninth Day Forward, we're talking about Alice in Wonderland.
	He brought to my attention Russell Means, a Native American activist, who said that for their people, even the difference between communism and capitalism, he said, is insignificant.
	These are both the same side, different sides of the same coin.
	Both assume that the role of the individual is to toil and to labor, and both assume that the function of the planet is primarily as a resource.
	Even something like Greta Thunberg there, It's sort of talking about it from save the planet so as human beings are all right.
	You know like and that's good and I'm certainly not criticizing that very dedicated young person.
	I'm saying that we're told that we're operating in this giddying array of potential ideas But we're not, because democracy now isn't even on the scale of, like, 20th century communism, fascism ideas.
	It's essentially neoliberalist ideas of, ultimately, business and finance calls the shots, the government administrates, and we quibble over how much social welfare there is.
	And then in a country like America, and we're all part of that empire economically, and ultimately, in my view, Some hot-button topics around abortion, gun laws, stuff that's, and now the culture war, stuff that drives emotion and is important if it affects you, of course, and I'm certainly not diminishing that, but does not affect the movement of real power and real capital?
	No, there was a report, I think it was in the Levered, David Sirota's site that I was reading earlier, that was saying that the Democrats are putting all their money, the majority of their election money at the moment, into those hot-button issues.
	Who is?
	The Democrats.
	The Democrats.
	For the midterms, like.
	For the midterms.
	So it's all abortion and things like that, which they know is going to drive, you know, this kind of polarisation.
	But ultimately, a bit like when we talked about them spending money to fund MAGA candidates, or however you want to term them, that it's about, that it's not about, that they're basically ignoring things like inflation and things that, through polls, American everyday people have said, this is what we care about.
	We actually probably don't care about things like abortion as much as you think we do.
	What we care about is the things that affect our lives.
	And not that I'm suggesting that the Republicans are any better, because I'm certainly not, but it shows.
	And part of what we do on this channel, I think sometimes people say, you know, why are you analyzing the Democrats so much?
	It's because we're told that those are the people who care about us.
	But when you hear about something like that, The election money goes on funding MAGA candidates for the purpose of being able to win when it comes to proper elections, and that money goes into hot topic and hot button issues like abortion and things rather than stuff that people care about.
	You're like, well, hang on, this isn't right then, is it?
	You're not actually representing the will of the people at that point.
	And plainly, of course, what the issue is, is that by directing our attention towards these hot button topics, you are not discussing what do we do about the fact that the same corporations are funding both parties, that Pfizer have spent this much on lobbying this many Congress people from The Democrat Party and the Republican Party own stocks in these companies.
	The military-industrial complex has undue influence.
	That big media is owned ultimately by BlackRock and Vanguard.
	If you had those conversations, if you spent as much time talking about that as you spent talking about Gun control and pro-life, pro-choice arguments, then you would make... The reason you don't have those conversations, if you did, the world would change in ways that matter.
	Ages ago, when I was younger, I spoke to the gay rights activist Peter Tatchell, who now I believe has been sort of somewhat, maybe, I don't know, you let me know in the chat, has been sort of discredited or attacked or dismissed, even though that guy gave his life to advocating for gay rights.
	He said that he noticed over time That you could say what you saw.
	In the end, they would always yield on civic issues, even though the civil rights movement has won some pretty important battles that have been important to millions and billions of people.
	But you'd notice that whenever you got near money, things got serious.
	I mean I think again another like quote another like left-wing poet like Robert Reich he was he wrote an article I think it was in Common Dreams the other day that I was reading he was saying the Democrats aren't focusing on money because of their corporate donors.
	Because they can't do that because it makes them look dirty.
	I see young Putin's pulled up what have you pulled up here Poots?
	Shall I read it or are you gonna read it?
	Yeah, so basically Pfizer and a few other sort of large pharmacy school companies.
	So Pfizer alone is accounted for $219 million in lobbying expenses and also $23 million in campaign contributions over the time period that was studied.
	So obviously you can see there that that would obviously be divvied up between Republicans.
	So when it comes to their ability to redact those pages in the EU Commission, or when it comes to the willingness to spend taxpayer money on those medicines, when it comes to the ongoing advocacy of the use of those medicines, again, you know, we have different, Gareth and I, have like differing opinions on those subjects.
	What we've found is that it doesn't actually matter, because if you have some principles like clarity, transparency, honesty, the ability for individuals to make their own choices, it doesn't matter.
	That's not the issue.
	We've become victims to their ability to control our thought space.
	Like, you know, if we spend all our time going, but I think you should, I think you shouldn't, we should do this, we should do that, then we wouldn't be able to say, hang on a minute, is there some sort of centralised power that's able to pursue its agenda while we're Skitting around like nitwit ants down in the foothills, talking about stuff that isn't important, that's not going to change the world.
	So one of the things we're asking you today, and let me know what you think in the chat, let me know what you think in the comments, is have you noticed how the narrative keeps shifting?
	How the truckers were called Nazis when internal memos reveal that they knew that the truckers were not Nazis, or certainly not violent, and if a Nazi's not a violent Nazi, I mean, is that a harmful Nazi?
	Imagine you're just a Nazi, but you're a non-violent Nazi.
	What harm can you do?
	I don't know.
	Tell me in the chat.
	You could probably be harmful.
	I don't know.
	Remember, we're funding, through the war, certain little subsets of Nazis, Ukrainian Nazis, like a subset of the Ukrainian fighting forces against Russia.
	And we're also being asked to forget the narrative around the sacking of unvaccinated workers and New York State still opposing their right to return to work.
	Let me know in the chat, let me know in the comments what you think about that as we go into our item.
	Here's the news.
	No, here's the effing news.
	And what will you be talking about when you come back, Gareth?
	Because I can see you're poised.
	Yeah, we'll talk a little bit more about this.
	We'll talk about how the fact that there was actually, apparently, a deal in place between the... There's a lot of rain.
	Which I imagine is getting picked up on the mic.
	That's the only reason I'm mentioning it.
	What a pro!
	But, yeah, apparently there was a deal in place between the Canadian authorities and the Freedom Convoy to stop the protests.
	And then Justin Trudeau at that point still decided to bring in the Emergencies Act.
	So what is suggested through this, which we will talk about, is that there actually was no need to bring it in.
	That it was like a conscious decision of, no we want to bring this in because we want to make a point here.
	You don't do this or we will impose this kind of thing.
	And Justin Trudeau, like Rishi Sunak, like Macron, like Merkel, like so many, even Putin!
	Not at all!
	A WEF stooge.
	Now, some people think, oh, the WEF, they don't have no real power.
	And if, like, the most powerful people in the world want to collaborate and come together, they can perfectly easily do that in private.
	But I believe there is a significance around these global, unelected bodies offering up edicts.
	One example, just a very localised example, is that YouTube take their policies, their community guideline policies on health matters, I'm going to say it here over on our platform, For example, what you can and can't say about vaccines, ivermectin and lockdown is determined by the WHO model.
	So even as the science changes on natural immunity, YouTube's guidelines remain controlled or determined by WHO.
	So that's one example of how an unelected body, funded primarily by Germany and then by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, has an influence on my fucking life.
	Where did they get involved in my life all of a sudden?
	I don't remember voting for them.
	But then I don't vote for anybody.
	So have a look at this story.
	Ask yourself, and let us know in the chat and the comments, do you think you're being invited to forget the reality of just a couple of months ago as they maraud ever closer to centralised tyrannical power, controlling even our minds and our memories?
	Here's the news.
	No, we don't have the news.
	No, here's the fucking news!
	The narrative is shifting, but the authorities keep on fighting.
	New York City are insisting that unvaccinated workers shouldn't get their jobs back.
	Meanwhile, we learn that Canadian truckers weren't so Nazi after all when they protested against mandates.
	The good news is, though, Joe Biden says you can have $5 off your grocery bill if you continue to tow the state line.
	Yippee!
	New York City are appealing against the judge's verdict that unvaccinated people should get their jobs back.
	While we await the verdict, those people can't go back to work, by the way, also a new report has revealed that those Canadian truckers that we were told were Nazis and hairy and smelly were...
	Wait for it.
	Peaceful!
	Unfortunately, while they were doing that, they were simultaneously working class.
	So we should assume that they were Nazi, just in case.
	I mean, they had a job, so that's working class, right?
	So that's Nazi!
	That's the way it works these days.
	And of course, the reason we're talking about this at all is because in spite of everything that's becoming apparent now, at least appears to be becoming apparent, Joe Biden, having created a cost of living crisis, along with Putin, no one's saying Putin doesn't cause cost of living crises, is offering A miserable, measly $5 off your groceries, as long as you cooperate with the system and get yourself vaccinated, particularly now it's not paid for by taxpayers.
	Get the shot!
	Get the shot!
	Get it!
	Why are you arguing about the shot?
	Why do you want more information?
	Why are you looking at blacked out pages?
	Why are you looking at the data on natural immunity?
	Get the shot!
	Chad.
	5, 10, 20 dollars off your drugstore grocery purchase.
	5, 10, 20, now he's negotiating with us.
	Why are we still doing stuff to advance the interests of the pharmaceutical industry?
	Oh sorry, well no, it's for people isn't it?
	It's for people everywhere.
	Okay, so what's happening with New York City and those people not getting their jobs back?
	How are we supposed to tie all together these narrative threads except by using this model?
	If you look at this from the perspective of what most benefits the most powerful elite interests in the world, if you look at it from that perspective, suddenly a lot of stuff starts making sense.
	Oh wow, the ability to capture and gather data.
	Oh wow, the ability to move taxpayer money over to private interests like Big Pharma, Big Food, Big tech, finding new and ingenious ways of funding the endeavours of private companies, then excluding you when it comes to profit time.
	But we don't look at things from that perspective.
	That's why things are so confusing.
	If indeed the reason to get this shot is to protect you from potential health matters, and I don't know what your family situation is, and I don't know what's best for you, and I just want what's best for you, look into my eyes.
	I want what's best for you.
	I want what is best for all of us.
	Then if it is what's best for all of us, then why simultaneously are unvaccinated workers being prevented from going back to work even though a judge has decreed they should get their jobs back?
	Why?
	Or grocery purchase next time at the same time you get the shot.
	Go down the shop, get the shot, get your groceries, they cost a lot, but at least you can get the shot down the shop!
	So here we go.
	New York City is appealing a judge's ruling to reinstate municipal employees fired for not getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
	Now, I believe these are people that work in sanitation, people that collect garbage, people that during the pandemic We're hailed as heroes.
	These brave heroes carrying on doing their jobs.
	So they were heroes then, but now the state is going up against them, stopping them getting their jobs back after they've been through a judicial process in order to get their jobs back, which is pretty clear at this point.
	Let me know in the comments, let me know in the chat.
	They should have lost in the first place.
	The city is appealing the latest ruling by a Staten Island judge finding a segment of the municipal workforce should not require vaccination.
	Staten Island Supreme Court Justice Ralph Porzio ruled that the vaccination requirement for a group of 16 sanitation workers suing the city is arbitrary and capricious.
	Well, that's not how you want a state run.
	Well, firstly, we do things arbitrarily.
	Whee!
	Whee!
	Why do you do that?
	I don't know.
	Just for no reason.
	Oh, OK.
	Is there any motivation?
	Oh, yeah.
	Caprice.
	Like, I do things sort of with a little bit of malice and on whims.
	Mild, vague, cruelty, and very whimsically.
	Oh, well.
	As you were.
	Keep going.
	Seems like a lovely way to run the old big friendly apple.
	The great beautiful melting pot that is New York.
	I mean isn't this a story where you have the opportunity to support ordinary working people.
	You have the opportunity to show that we're all on the same side.
	People that collect our garbage.
	The hidden people.
	The people you don't want to Acknowledge the people that are necessary for literally the stuff you don't want no more, the stuff that you're throwing out.
	Instead of saying, why don't we make those jobs as amenable and as pleasant and as fair and as well-paid and as well-rewarded because they're necessary for society, so it's dignified work for dignified working people.
	No, why don't we use the state to crush them, to crush them into total compliance?
	One theory is that the pandemic was an opportune moment to reduce workforces and reduce payrolls.
	And if these people are successful in winning their case, not only will you have to have all those back payments, but you also challenge the efficacy of the model.
	I don't know if New York's garbage collection is privatised yet.
	Yeah, but I bet it'll get privatised at some point, and having a lower payroll bill when that comes will be advantageous.
	And any of you that are following this sort of AI revolution will know that those are the kind of jobs that will go next.
	We'll have robot slaves instead of near-human slaves, and these kind of people are not considered worthy of protection of the state.
	Now, although a lot of you have questions around socialism, understandably born of your suspicions of Maoism and Stalinism and centralised state systems that I would oppose alongside you.
	But when it comes to compassion and dignity of ordinary working people, who's going to look after them, if not everyone?
	Who's going to stand up for them against the state or against corporate power?
	Answers in the chat, please.
	Being vaccinated does not prevent an individual from contracting or transmitting COVID-19, the ruling notes.
	Although I would never say that, because I'm not a judge.
	I'm just a guy in a hat.
	Judge!
	Don't start a YouTube channel, baby!
	But if you go and rumble, you might do quite well.
	The ruling would reinstate fired, unvaccinated employees and order back pay.
	And as it has in the past, the city is appealing.
	Until that court rules, the vaccine mandate remains in effect.
	New York State's COVID-19 vaccine mandate alone led to about 34,000 health workers losing jobs or being placed on leave.
	That's not an insignificant number of human beings.
	34,000 people.
	That's a Billy Joel concert, a Bruce Springsteen concert of unemployed people from valuable sectors, people that are doing necessary work to hold together a nation, a state, a city, What is it then?
	When you're like, I'm proud of my city, I love my country.
	What is it?
	Just the flag.
	Does the flag mean anything?
	No, it means nothing.
	If it means something, it's this.
	We have a structure, we look after each other, we have connections to one another, we have a set of principles and values that we stick to.
	And part of that has got to come, hasn't it?
	You tell me.
	Do you believe in God?
	I believe in God, as you know if you saw my Tulsi Gabbard interview.
	It means that we have love, we have compassion, we hold ourselves and one another to account, we make mistakes, we're flawed, we're fallible, but we try to improve ourselves based on a set of values and principles, not just, oh yeah, Pete, we're sacking these 34,000 people now.
	On the other hand, aside from that sort of religious, passionate, compassionate crap that I just spouted, if you do have a for-profit healthcare system, getting rid of 34,000 workers, replacing them with people, possibly people that have come from other countries, at a much lower rate, that would be good for profit, business and for shareholders.
	But I don't know.
	I don't know if that's a factor.
	Let me know in the chat.
	Meanwhile, up a bit in a country that I as an Englishman consider to be basically the same, let me know in the chat, in Canada, the truckers have been proven not to have been Nazis.
	I feel like I saw Justin Trudeau coming on my TV set saying, they're Nazis, they're awful, they're this, they're that.
	Don't you remember that?
	I feel like people had their bank accounts frozen.
	Oh, these truckers.
	Let's have a look at what's going on.
	Public Safety Canada officials admitted in internal updates that the Freedom Convoy protests were peaceful and that no violence was taking place, despite claims by the Minister, Marco Mendicino.
	These are internal documents.
	These are not things that should be shared with the public, because otherwise the public will go, hold on, you told us they were violent Nazis.
	Yeah, we had to tell you that at the time, because it was irritating that they were doing that protest.
	We thought, what could we say that people don't like?
	Well, no one likes violent Nazis.
	Oh no, they were horrible, weren't they, the Nazis?
	Well, Should we just say these lot are Nazis then?
	Well, are they Nazis?
	No, you're missing the point.
	Just say they're Nazis, but they're not Nazis.
	Listen, you can just say stuff and no one will ever check.
	They'll forget down the line.
	They'll forget that down the line, loads of unvaccinated people lost their job.
	They'll forget down the line that a load of Canadian truckers were called Nazis because they'll have moved on to something else then.
	Like, I don't know, it'll be a war or something.
	So can we just say they're Nazis?
	Do you mean like those Nazis in Ukraine that we're funding in a war against Russia?
	Oh, no, those Nazis are the not-Nazis.
	Those are good Nazis.
	Wait, is it like we've got to break Nazis down now into good Nazis and bad Nazis?
	Because I thought Nazi meant bad.
	Yeah, but the truckers are bad Nazis.
	Truckers, bad Nazis.
	Ukrainian Nazis that are part of the fighting forces that are opposing Russia, Russian tyranny, good Nazis.
	This is confusing.
	Yeah, just keep concentrating on consolidating centralized global power and you won't go far wrong.
	Thank you.
	According to Blacklock's reporter, Daily Reports described the demonstrations as peaceful, undisruptive and stable.
	Almost no point in having them.
	Come on through, come on through.
	This is a quote.
	The Freedom Convoy so far has been peaceful and cooperative with police.
	An internal memo stated on January 27th.
	What more can you ask for in a protest that is stable, peaceful and disruptive?
	Should these people be vilified?
	Should their bank accounts be frozen?
	Should they be maligned, maltreated?
	Up until February the 11th, officials monitoring the situation stated that there were no major incidents, that no violence took place, that disruption to government activities was minor, that there were minimal people on Parliament Hill and that the situation remained stable and that planning was ongoing.
	Kumbaya, milord!
	Kumbaya!
	Kumbaya, milord!
	Nazis!
	How am I the Nazi?
	Am I a member of a Ukrainian fighting force?
	Could I get, like, maybe some missiles from Raytheon or Lockheed?
	Not that kind of Nazi!
	Bad Nazi!
	Shut up!
	It's too confusing!
	Since most government employees are working remotely, the disruption to government activities is so far minor.
	In contrast, key liberal cabinet members, including Mendicino and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, sought to paint the protesters as violent.
	Justin Trudeau?
	You know he likes painting things.
	This is true though.
	We cannot allow illegal and dangerous activities to continue.
	Kumbaya, my lord, kumbaya!
	Dangerous!
	Illegal!
	Oh, where?
	Oh, it's us again, isn't it?
	Occupying streets, harassing people, breaking the law.
	This is not a peaceful protest.
	Well...
	According to internal memos, it literally was a peaceful protest.
	There were other protests at that time, which actually, by the way, I would be largely supportive of also, but were not subject to this level of scrutiny and analysis.
	We have to find a way of supporting one another across a range of cultural issues, regardless of the demographic and cultural data, otherwise these centralised and centralising forces are going to destroy all of us.
	Even if you find yourself broadly agreeing with him at the moment, the day will come.
	Mark these words of mine where you are the person at the end of the barrel.
	You are the person in the crosshairs.
	You suddenly find yourselves tagged with a Nazi label.
	Let me know in the chat if you agree.
	In a tweet, Trudeau condemned the anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, anti-black racism, homophobia and transphobia that we've seen on display in Ottawa.
	I mean, also, like, why would they be doing that?
	Why would you, if your point of your protest is, listen, our ability to do the trucking and that is being badly impugned by these new laws around certain medications.
	Also, I've got some terrible views on the Jewish community, Muslims, people of colour in general.
	I also don't like gay people or trans people.
	That doesn't even make sense as a protest anymore!
	How would you have time to focus on the key issue?
	You know, all those things.
	Anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, anti-black racism, homophobia, transphobia.
	I'm on your side in that fight.
	I'm on your side.
	I'm against all of those things.
	We've got no time for that stupidity in 2022.
	This is a time of awakening.
	We can't be thinking about that bullshit.
	You be who you are.
	You be who you are.
	We've got to find a culture, a community, a global and independent communities where everyone is, if not celebrated, then is able to be who they are, certainly within their own community.
	But you can't start using this language to prevent ordinary working people standing up for their rights.
	And if that language is used to condemn ordinary people, we have to be real diligent about ensuring that it's true and not just a way of nullifying legitimate protest.
	Trudeau previously denounced anti-vaxxers as misogynists and racists.
	That's not, that doesn't make sense!
	Why are you not getting that vaccine?
	You know women?
	Yeah, like my mum, my sisters, all of the women in my life, even the concept of femininity, which is within all of us and nature herself.
	Yeah, I don't like them.
	And that's why I'm not getting a vaccine!
	That doesn't make sense!
	It's not a real argument.
	It's not real.
	It's not real.
	No one's not getting a vaccine because they don't like women or they don't like people that are a different colour from the colour that they are.
	Of course you can't guarantee that all unvaccinated people are 100% not racist or misogynist.
	Those categories appear to exist throughout time, throughout society.
	They seem to be everywhere.
	That it's not the role of government to use reductive language to turn people against the... Oh, no, actually, that is the role of government.
	Sorry.
	The role of government is to use reductive language to turn people against one another so ordinary people can't unite because they're too busy thinking, well, you might be homophobic.
	Well, you're probably racist.
	Oh, well, you might be super, super social justice warrior.
	So let's forget any alliance that we could achieve together and meet all of our goals if we're living in separate communities that really matter.
	In response to the protests, Mr. Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act for the first time in Canadian history.
	it so let's all just unite. But no, if they continue to stoke through hate speech, they're
	the ones ironically using the hate speech to call someone a misogynist and a racist
	and then condemn a whole raft of people. That is hate speech, not just because it's hateful
	to those people, because it prevents love between us.
	In response to the protests, Mr Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act for the first time in
	Canadian history. Uh oh, this is an emergency, what? Some people are thinking for themselves.
	Stop that shit!
	But the Canadian Civil Liberties Association stated, Oh, what a coincidence!
	The federal government has not met the threshold necessary to invoke the Emergencies Act.
	This law creates a high and clear standard for good reason.
	The Act allows government to bypass ordinary democratic processes.
	Oh, what a coincidence!
	The standard has not been met.
	The Emergencies Act can only be invoked when a situation seriously threatens the ability of the government of Canada
	to preserve the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of Canada
	and when the situation cannot be effectively dealt with under any other law of Canada.
	You can see that beneath the hair Beneath the rhetoric of love and inclusion, there is a desire to instate the kind of powers that bypass democracy.
	For all of that inclusivity, conversation, democracy, conviviality, community, really what they want is, this is what we're doing, and we're doing it because we want to.
	In December 2020, Mr. Trudeau chided India for its police response to farmers' blockades of Delhi.
	Let me remind you, he said, Canada will always be there to defend the right of peaceful protest.
	Let me remind me that Canada will always be there.
	He needs to remind himself.
	Put down the face paint.
	Pick up the pen.
	Write that on your own hand.
	Protect democracy.
	Protect the right.
	Defend the people.
	Write that down.
	Good use of the face paint there.
	So what are we being invited to do?
	Forget events of just a couple of years ago that appear to be creaking under the weight of their own duplicity and move forward with Biden's offer of five dollars off your grocery bills that have been inflated for a number of reasons that could be effectively handled in so many other ways.
	I don't even want to get into the ways you could make the lives of ordinary people So much easier because I'll blow my mind.
	But that's just what I think.
	Let me know what you think in the comments.
	Let me know what you think in the chat.
	I'll see you in a minute.
	Well there you go, some interesting points there.
	Young Putin, whilst you've pulled up a tweet from Justin Trudeau, who I would say is, who's the handsomest world leader?
	I think it's him.
	Is it Trudeau or is it Rishis?
	Forget everything else, just who's handsomest.
	Don't worry about whether they try to evoke emergency powers.
	Don't get involved in whether or not their wife's dad owns a sort of company that would really benefit from social credit.
	Put that to one side.
	They're just people.
	They're just people, very rich.
	People with great hair!
	Really nice hair!
	The follicles!
	Why can't you focus on the follicles?
	Follicles!
	Go on then, what's he saying then, Trudy-O?
	So Trudeau tweeted on February 2020 this year and basically was calling out all the trucker protests going on in Ottawa at the time, basically just called them all anti-semites, islamophobic, anti-black racism, homophobia and transphobia.
	And obviously the question is, why would he have done that?
	To probably make most of the public opinion swayed towards, oh they must be anti-black, anti-islamophobic, homophobic and all these other things.
	I mean, I guess you could say he doesn't actually call them all that.
	What he, I guess, carefully says is he condemns any of that behaviour that we've seen on display.
	So that could either be all of them or some of them.
	Or none.
	Well, that's the point, isn't it?
	Once you say something like that, you are smearing the whole movement with that.
	Then you have to trust Justin Trudeau.
	You have to decide in your own mind.
	Do you think Justin Trudeau is trustworthy?
	Did he try to evoke an Emergencies Act?
	what he's saying an attempt to smear, potentially and according to Vandana
	Shiva, our vote for world leader, ordinary people campaigning for a little bit of
	liberty and freedom and the right to work. Why I like Vandana's voice, why I
	continue to try to highlight what Vandana Shiva does and what she stands
	for is because she's willing to say that the trucker protests in Canada,
	the farm protests in the Netherlands and in Germany, the farmer protests in
	Sri Lanka and India are all part of the same anti-globalist agenda.
	These are the people that are feeling the pinch when centralized forces introduce regulation
	in order to disempower ordinary people.
	And this is the people organizing to fight back, whether it's the measures taken during the pandemic
	or economic measures ostensibly about climate control and ecological good practice
	that ultimately have the effect of destroying the ability of ordinary folk to work.
	Now, Gareth, before we went into Here's the News, you were talking about telling us some stuff
	and you've done nothing of the sort.
	So this is a report in Reclaim the Net, which we use quite a lot.
	So, during the ongoing public hearings into the use of the Emergencies Act, it was revealed that the Freedom Convoy organisers, the federal government and police were on the verge of reaching a deal to end the protests before the government invoked the Authoritarian Act anyway.
	The Emergencies Act allowed the government to freeze the bank accounts of the Civil Liberties protesters.
	A memo outlining the deal read, the deal would be leave the protests and denounce unlawful activity and you will be heard.
	Freedom Convoy organisers would have honoured their end of the deal by removing over 100 trucks from residential streets and would remove more as negotiations went on.
	But basically what happened is they tore that up effectively, the Canadian government, and Trudeau brought in the Emergency Act anyway.
	So it's almost to kind of make an example.
	They didn't learn, did they?
	No, they didn't.
	Didn't better democratic voices prevail?
	Yeah, so the Emergencies Act was revoked a few days after it was invoked.
	However, within those few days, the police has forcefully removed peaceful protesters from the streets and the bank accounts of supporters of the protests frozen.
	Meanwhile, the organisers of the Freedom Convoy protests have asked the court to unfreeze $450,000 in donations so that they can pay for legal fees in the upcoming case challenging the legality of the invocation of the Emergencies Act.
	They are trying to say, was this legal?
	And you know, we spoke about it quite a lot of the time.
	Was it the right thing to do?
	Were you in a situation where you had no other choice but to bring in that emergency?
	And this shows that the fact that there was a deal in place for them to go, that that was not the case, that there was an option, there was a deal in place for them to go and negotiations could continue.
	But Trudeau didn't.
	He brought in the Emergencies Act and therefore the truckers, if they could finally get their hands on some of that money, are saying, let's take this to, you know, a court of law.
	I've gone off Trudeau.
	I've gone right off him.
	He's got great hair, as we said.
	But when I look at him now, I don't even care about his haircut anymore.
	I think he should be forced to have a crew cut.
	Well he did have one, I was going to say.
	He got his hair cut a couple of months ago and people went off him majorly.
	He's grown it back, it just wasn't good enough.
	I bet he tries to force that hair back out of his head so hard that he gives himself a hemorrhoid.
	Oh no!
	I pushed it out the back of me!
	I pushed it out the back of me!
	Oh yeah, no, he's rubbish with that haircut.
	Look at that!
	Why did he do that?
	You idiot.
	That's your power.
	He's Samson.
	Yep, he does look like Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber with the crude cut.
	No, that won't do.
	What was you thinking, Trudeau, you lunatic?
	Just to let you know, my audition with Jordan... Jordan and Peterson.
	What did I just say there?
	Did I say a weird word just then?
	Jordan and... My interview with Jordan Peterson will be on Rumble on Tuesday, November the 8th.
	That's 10am PT.
	Watch the interview on Rumble.
	Yeah, watch it on Rumble.
	10am PT, 1pm ET, 5pm GMT.
	And if you're a member of the Stay Free AF community, you can watch it right now.
	Wow.
	It was a good conversation.
	It's worth it for that alone, isn't it?
	This is why we want you to be part of this community, because you get access to the best gear straight away.
	Head of anyone else.
	Head of anyone else.
	F what they know.
	And also, probably we won't have edited it properly, so you'll probably see me sort of doing weird stuff.
	Guess what I'm doing, like someone was in my interview with Jordan Peterson, I don't know if you know, I tried to really get into it and I really tried to listen and I put myself into a swirl.
	I'm shaking my head around a little bit, I'm shaky shaky and that really loosens up the ice.
	Is that what it's doing?
	Is it like before a boxing match?
	That kind of thing?
	Yeah.
	Do you imagine yourself in the ring?
	Is that what it is?
	I do, yeah.
	Not in the ring, because I see us as we're Okay.
	in the debate. So it's not combative, but I'm listening very much to the rhythm of what he's saying.
	Now remember Jordan Peterson, he's going to go between Jungian archetypes, political discourse, clinical psychology,
	demographic information, data profiling around sex and gender, culture war issues.
	So I'm trying to listen to all these threads and I'm trying to compile and I'm trying to remember everything he's saying and I'm trying to think of what is my goal?
	My goal is to awaken as many people as possible to the possibility of real freedom.
	Real freedom.
	That we don't have to spend our time in conflict with one another.
	We don't have to despair and lose hope when it seems that centralized forces are stomping and stampeding across our planet.
	So I'm listening and I'm trying to bear that in mind.
	I think that if we can just solve this riddle of the culture war and Jordan Peterson is a sort of a central figure In that war, let's face it, isn't he?
	He's one of the people that you think of.
	Lightning rods, you would call them, potentially.
	He's a lightning rod.
	It all sort of comes towards him.
	And he looks like someone who's been through it, I've got to say.
	What, lightning?
	Yeah, like he looks like a lot of energy's gone through him.
	Oh, OK.
	Like a lot of like... Do you know that some people have been hit by lightning twice?
	There's a famous person who's been hit by it a load of times.
	Right.
	Look it up, young Putin.
	One person's been hit by lightning so many times, it's actually gotten on their nerves.
	Yeah, well, it would.
	The other day there was a storm in our country, England, so I went outside naked and ran around in it to show my children embrace the power of Odin, embrace the power of the storm, ran around naked in it.
	Seems to go directly against most parental advice.
	During a lightning storm.
	Out I went.
	Hugged a tree.
	Gave a TV aerial, the cuddling of its life.
	Held an aluminium rod aloft.
	Did the beginning sequence of He-Man, Sword of Omen, Show Me Light and Thundercats.
	I think they all did that in the 80s.
	held things above their heads for reasons. Swords!
	They're trying to conduct power aren't they? Yes. Dropped to my knees, nude of course
	like and sort of like raised my hands up and thought you know be part of this
	storm. I feel this is a theme that's looked at in King Lear you know like embrace the storm and everything. Right, were
	they still paying attention at this point? Social services has arrived at this point so
	the children were much more just filling in the survey.
	Has things like this happened before?
	In the back of an ambulance?
	Are you frightened?
	Are you being fed properly?
	Where is your mother?
	Well, standard procedure!
	They call it standard procedure, but I say this is not standard.
	Another weekend at the Brands.
	I'm trying to awaken deep forces in these kids.
	I've got no time for any of that.
	So, you know, you've got to be careful.
	So someone did get struck on this day in 1972, Guinness World Records.
	Roy Sullivan's hair was set on fire by a lightning strike, the third occasion that Roy had been struck.
	The unfortunate park ranger from Virginia, USA, survived a total of seven lightning strikes during his lifetime.
	Spare a thought for Roy Sullivan, struck seven times, still smiling, looks a bit like the Dracula dad out of the Munsters, I would say, if you can pull up a comparison shot.
	Two of them.
	You know the granddad out of the monsters?
	He crops up in other things as well.
	He does look very similar to that.
	It's the relationship between his nose and his ears and like he's a man that's been struck by lightning.
	There would be a point where you go, like say you've been hit by lightning, you come home from the hospital presumably, I've been struck by lightning, bloody hell, what was it like?
	Oh my god, I couldn't believe it.
	I was struck by it, it was weird, it was a real jolt, you know, you're probably describing it.
	Second time, it's happened again!
	Third time, you're not going to believe this!
	Fourth time, I'm almost not going to even bother listening to it, I'm bored of hearing it!
	Like juggling!
	Right, once someone's done that once or twice.
	I've seen juggling now.
	Wait a minute, now orange!
	Sorry, mate.
	Yeah, I'll get it.
	You can juggle.
	Yeah, fuck off.
	Anything like that.
	Tight ropes, anything.
	They've got a Do you mean basically circus performers?
	Yeah, because I was down at the circus and that's when I became friends with Tweedie the Clown.
	Right.
	Now, Tweedie, he came over... I'm worried about this new friendship of yours.
	It's not going that well, so you don't need to worry too much.
	Tweedie, I met him down at the circus.
	He had an iron as a dog, a dog as an iron.
	The kids liked that.
	Okay.
	He dragged an iron around as a dog.
	Got it.
	Like, you know, like a smoothing iron.
	Was your first warning?
	And then on his mug... Is he in character at this point?
	I hope he is.
	Of course he's in character, he's a clown.
	But a clown's got to have a certain thing.
	A clown is a shaman that's been shamed.
	A clown is the castrated shaman.
	The clown is stripped of their... You know, that's why clowns is eerie.
	Something's going on there, anyway.
	He came round our house in the summertime.
	And, like, it was brilliant.
	He's like, I'm on my way now, Russell!
	He's got a nice clown... Well, he's a good clown, mate.
	He's clowning his top notch.
	He's not like a cliché clown.
	He's like a proper... Ha ha ha ha!
	He's not like that.
	He's not James Blunt clownery.
	Ha ha ha ha!
	It's like good clowning.
	And anyway, when he was running around to the house, I was like on the phone, he goes, I'm just trying to find it, Russell.
	I'm just trying to find it like that.
	Me and my children was running up to find it.
	Where are you?
	Where are you?
	Was it all part of the shtick?
	Yeah!
	I went with it and I thought, with a clown, you know you can play with this guy.
	He's going to have good clowning.
	You know that about him.
	And then one bit, I took my phone and I threw it into the field.
	And he was like, I'm in a field!
	I'm in a field!
	He played along with it.
	The kids were so into it.
	Then the car arrived.
	It wasn't a clown car.
	It was a normal car.
	It was a van.
	And we climbed on it.
	I got on the roof with one of my kids.
	The other one got in, clanged off the window.
	We drove along in his clown car.
	Then, the other circus members, they were like the acrobats and these guys, they were all from, I think, Cuba.
	They were too sexy.
	Right.
	Every one of them was too sexy.
	The men, the women, everyone was too sexy.
	Right.
	The Circus had been bought at Stoner Park, near where we do our show, and the groundskeeper had fallen in love with an acrobat and had run away with the circus.
	The groundskeeper of Stoner Park, fallen in love with an acrobat, ran away with the circus.
	She was naked, changing on the riverbank.
	This is so much to get my head around.
	I know, I rode up there.
	I bet you did!
	We rode upstream to see the acrobats that was on the riverbank, right?
	Trudy goes, my mates are up the river there.
	I go, OK, I'll take you there.
	Come on, we'll bundle into the boat.
	Lydia, she's there to do reflexology.
	Tweety the Clown, obviously.
	My two kids, my Mrs. Laura.
	Up we go, up the river.
	The acrobats, they're so sexy and, can I say, sultry and smouldering.
	And I felt intimidated.
	You know, you're arriving by rowboat and there's a bunch of acrobats on a riverbank.
	They're not doing that pyramid or anything, they're just off duty now.
	And the groundsman, he's run away with a circus.
	They're waiting for us on the riverbank and I'm like, uh-oh, I'm scared.
	Because imagine the bodies of these people.
	Well, I am.
	They're beautiful.
	Like the geysers.
	Rippling.
	Rippling!
	Like this one geezer, Sparkle Trousers, he was dangling from a thread in that circus, spinning round and round.
	It was amazing with some of the stuff he was doing.
	Obviously after a while I'm like, I get it, you can dangle around, but I'm much more... Fuck off!
	Fuck off's in that!
	But I won't fuck off on the riverbank.
	I was a bit intimidated because their bodies were so good.
	But I front up gal, you know me.
	I arrive on the riverbed and I've got my children.
	It's not a fight.
	I'm not like treating it like a fight.
	I'm like, hello everyone!
	Those are displaced circus workers!
	They've got no home, they've got no place to go.
	There they are on the riverbank.
	So we pull over, you know, get out and everything and they're coming over and they've got, they had this sort of atmosphere of like, I don't know, as if they were going to try and take over my life somehow.
	Like they came over swarming over, not swarming, like it was more laconic than a swarm.
	A slow spill of energy approaches the boat in the forms of these Cuban people, and I believe they are called Cuban.
	There's a very beautiful mix of ethnicity in Cuba, like from what you call Hispanic-looking folk to Afro-Caribbean-looking folk, and they all come over with their amazing bodies.
	I've seen them the day before in the circus, jumping up and down, swinging around, all the usual.
	You know, I get it, I get it.
	Anyway, they come over and one of them, and like the one in sparkle trousers, he was much more intimidating than I thought.
	And they wanted to go with the boat.
	I could tell they wanted to go with the boat.
	So after some pleasantries, and noting that one of them, not even meant to be in that circus, is the groundsman, after I've done that basic inventory of who's there, I go, do you want a boat ride then?
	And they were, yeah, all the sexy Spanish sort of speaking ones.
	They get on the boat with me, and I don't like this bit, because they were just talking to each other.
	I can show you, I've got video of this, so I can show you this.
	Oh, please do.
	I'll drop a bit of this into the thing.
	They're just talking to each other, and I'm just the boatman now.
	I was just driving them around on a rowboat up the Thames.
	It's an electric engine, so it's quite... Do you expect that they would be doing things as you were, like, performing whilst you were...
	My expectation was that they'd be very reverential to me.
	Oh, I see.
	And they were just chatting, and I actually thought, I didn't know what my job was anymore, so I just pointed out like the sights.
	Oh, and over there, you can see, I saw a kingfisher there once.
	Then I took them round by the weir, you know, like, oh, that's the weir.
	And I was like, oh, don't be nervous.
	And I thought, they're not gonna be nervous, they jump up and down all day, they fling themselves off stuff.
	And then there's one bit, some people were playing football on a riverbank, and the football went in.
	Now you know if you're getting at your like and I'd let one of the others was having to go one of these lads was driving the boat at this point okay I have a go mate I'm just now I'm doing nothing I'm just unemployed in the boat just surrounded by swarvy Cuban charisma and sex appeal and I'm completely at a loss as to what to do just sit there quietly luckily it's not too long a boat ride and when the football's in the water and if you ever have to do anything like that you go for you know it's hard enough if someone kicks it in the park and you've got to kick it back well this way it's in the water and I think I wonder how They're going to be able to coordinate the trajectory of the boat so that they can sort of just elegantly sweep by, grab that ball.
	Oh, they rinsed it.
	It was beautiful.
	Yeah, they just elegantly pulled the boat alongside.
	One straight line, no adjustments.
	One of them swept the ball up and sort of like lobbed it back to the people.
	And it was also sort of sexy.
	Anyway, got back to the riverbank, tweeted a clown and all that, had a bit of dinner.
	That's sort of the end of it, really.
	The reason I bring it up, I suppose... It's a pretty average day for you, isn't it?
	That's always going on, things like that.
	I know, I know.
	Tweedie, Tweedie the Clown.
	Why am I talking about Tweedie, Tweedie the Clown?
	You're not sure how we got to it, was it?
	Was it because of him?
	Dracula, he's still staring down at us right now.
	I'm going to put in, I mean, I'll show you some of what went on that day, Gareth.
	I mean, like, we'll put it into the mix, but it was a lot went on, a lot went on.
	I'll show you another day and maybe we'll drop a bit of footage onto the thing of just me on a boat feeling a bit of a mess.
	Can you make it relevant?
	Yeah, I can.
	But sometimes, when you bring together a diverse range of energies, you have to accept that you are not in an authoritative alpha role, and you have to accept temporarily that in this context, you are just in a position of absolute service.
	I had to put aside my ego and my spirit and I couldn't think, oh I'm going to dominate these Cuban folks.
	I just had to absolutely accept it in that situation.
	So I suppose how I make this relevant is decentralisation, the opposite of centralisation.
	If there is some sort of centralised force that wants control over such a sort of giddying array of types of people, it is going to lead to conflict.
	If you say we are this, like the world is this, or England is this, it's going to exclude people and it's
	going to create polarisation and polemicism. So the only solution to the
	world's cultural problems is to decentralise power. Initially that is going
	to require some regulatory power being given to the state to, for example,
	demonise...
	Alright, alright.
	People Assemblies.
	People Assemblies.
	Imagine this.
	A party stands and goes, what we're going to do, day one, is we're taking back control of all of these assets.
	We're re-nationalising all these assets.
	But they will immediately be given to the localised control of these People Assemblies.
	The People Assemblies turn over on a six-monthly basis.
	We annihilate the professional political class.
	There is no professional political class now.
	There's sort of just locally elected assemblies that govern the resources of that borough, and everyone gets a voice.
	I mean, it's going to be difficult, and it's not going to be perfect, but we're not replacing perfection.
	Like, for example, Gareth, when you look at polygamy and polyamory, if you read a bit about it, and you're like, what would it be like if a woman has three or four partners, or a man, or anyone of any gender has, like, multiple partners?
	And you read a bit about it, and you're fucking ill.
	Looks a bit complicated, actually.
	But then you remember, Monogamy is also complicated.
	Living a life in solitude is complicated.
	Life is complicated.
	So the best thing to do is not tell other people what to do unless it's absolutely necessary.
	You didn't have to do the whole clown story with Jordan Peterson, did you?
	I told him all of that.
	Now, Russell, I'm not sure... You wasted the interview.
	No, that's not relevant.
	No, I'm not in trouble.
	I've got a point.
	Well, he can do the sound pretty well.
	He's on the board now.
	Wait, can I just ask, did they have a car?
	Did they have a horn that was a little bit like... Jordan, they didn't have a car.
	I'm going to stop you there.
	OK, well, that is the end of our special Thursday show where we have a deeper look at Me meeting some acrobats!
	But we did also discuss power.
	Klaus Schwab.
	We discussed the trucker protest.
	Let me know what you think in the chat.
	Let me know what you think in the comments.
	Let us know what stories you want to see covered.
	I've told you about the Jordan Peterson interview.
	You can watch that in full now if you're a member of Stay Free AF.
	Also, you can watch the whole Tulsi Gabbard conversation.
	That was fantastic.
	Or you can look at Jocko Willink, Eckhart Tolle, Yanis Varoufakis.
	A wide variety of people.

	Finishing off our reading of... I think it's with Brad.

	Doing all the work and he has read the book.

	We're going to finish our review of Night and Day 4 by George Orwell and we're going to announce the winner of the artwork and we're going to announce our new book.
	So join us tomorrow for that.
	Gareth, do you feel that we've done a thoroughly good job?
	I think we've done pretty well.
	Well, you know, this is a new format for us.
	Do you enjoy our new format?
	Do you enjoy the new humility?
	Do you enjoy the return of the logs?
	Any good to anyone?
	I'm not sure about that.
	I don't think so.
	I don't think so either.
	Remember, yeah, you can see the community film as well if you're on Stay Free.

	Absolutely.
	No you haven't!
	That's a lie!
	Have you watched it yet?
	I haven't yet, no.
	At least you said yet and moved his foot with a bit of shame.
	You didn't even bother to move your foot with a bit of shame.
