	I'm going to go ahead and put it in the water.
	I'm going to put it in the water.
	you you
	Hello there, you Awakening Wonders.
	Thanks for joining me for Stay Free with Russell Brand.
	We've got an amazing show today.
	We're going to be talking to you about yet more documents that Biden has concealed, and also beyond the documents themselves, the very notion that the powerful have access to Clandestine material that we have to be protected from, when in the most recent case in history, the revelations say from WikiLeaks and Daniel Hale, usually that information is not about stuff that would make you incredibly happy and compliant if you had access to it.
	We're going to be talking about Trump's reaction to Biden's documents, which is brilliant, like he hones in on some really odd details.
	The US indeed are sending tanks to Ukraine.
	If you're watching this on YouTube now, stay with us.
	We stay on YouTube for about 10 minutes because we want access to you.
	We want to tell you the truth.
	But after about 10 minutes, we go over to Rumble explicitly, exclusively because we're going to talk about stuff that you cannot talk about on this platform.
	In this instance, we're talking about the NIH's poor oversight of COVID research that was taking place Well, that doesn't mean anything.
	It doesn't mean anything.
	Coincidence, I think.
	It's a sliding doors moment.
	It has set a series of coincidences and unfortunate events.
	There's just been revelations about the NIH perhaps not tracking or observing protocols at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
	That doesn't mean Anything!
	We're also going to be looking at Zelensky's love letter to US corporations.
	It's extraordinary if you're an anti-establishment, anti-corporatist person, whether you're from the left or right, to see someone list corporations like BlackRock and JP Morgan with such reverence and optimism.
	But before we get into any of that, perhaps we should look at that Delicious little army of robot dogs that are preparing now for the moments when you rise up en masse against your corrupt government and the globalist corporate movement.
	Don't worry about anything because there's just a robot dog army being prepared to bring down dissenters.
	Let's have a look at those little guys.
	Music being added.
	Sure, I hope so.
	They can't be working out for that.
	It really is terrifying.
	Do you think there's one little robot dog that sort of just don't fit in and it could be a Pixar movie?
	Yeah, the Russell Brown dog.
	Oh God, what are we supposed to be doing?
	We're a dystopian robot army, I don't fit in round here!
	Like when you were in the Marines for a day.
	I was a good Marine, gal.
	I put my Marine Corps, what do you call them, your troop, my buddies, my pals in the Marines.
	Yeah, I was in the Marines for a day.
	It was a difficult time.
	The assault course was difficult.
	I went through a lot of things emotionally.
	I respect the Marines, that I'll tell you, but I struggled to be one.
	You may be disillusioned with Joe Biden.
	God love him, the cadaverous, juddering, shuddering, half-asleep, dopey old sausage.
	And occasionally, it's a joy to see Trump talk in that peculiarly human and odd manner that only he does.
	In this instance, he's talking about Biden's endless docks, I suppose as part of his campaign to make America great again again again again
	again again in 2024 potentially against Ron DeSantis who's gonna win though in
	that that battle of those two colossi of the right. Let's have a look at him
	talking about the documents I love this.
	We have two standards of justice in our country One for people like you and me, and one for the corrupt political class.
	What I like about that is that Donald Trump has put himself in a category.
	I sometimes feel like I'm pushing it a bit.
	Ordinary people like us, because I'm a bit weird, I wear strange stuff.
	I'm unusual, I'm peculiar, but I am basically a normal bloke from Essex who's been in Hollywood for a bit and now I'm on the internet.
	Donald Trump is different from everyone in the whole world.
	There's no one else that's like Donald Trump.
	He's a very particular individual.
	Even in the Trump family, Trump stands out.
	Even when he's got them other Trumps around him who adore him.
	Even that new Trump, Barron Trump, it's all sort of the long name Trump.
	You see that guy walking down the street, you're gonna notice him, aren't you?
	There's an extraordinary array of colours and peculiarities and idiosyncrasies that draw the eye.
	could just blend in fairly easily but he's not blending in.
	You see that guy walking down the street you're gonna notice him aren't you?
	There's an extraordinary array of sort of colours and peculiarities
	and idiosyncrasies that draw the eye. This is not even a partisan view of him
	it's just him as a sort of a unique creature. There are many.
	At the very same moment when my ultra-secure Mar-a-Lago home was raided by the FBI.
	Even when he talks about Mar-a-Lago, he's bigging up the security of Mar-a-Lago.
	Everything about him is hyperbole.
	Everything about him is superlative.
	He talks only in extremes.
	It's almost suggesting that those files would be more secure at his home.
	Better there.
	You should keep all the other files there.
	They'd be alright there.
	Keep Julian Assange.
	Most secure home in America.
	Beautifully secure.
	Julian Assange, keep him by the swimming pool.
	Edward Snowden, he's hit by putting range.
	Joe Biden was harboring classified documents in his China-funded Penn Center and his unsecured garage.
	Right on the floor, piles of paper.
	The floor was probably very wet and damp, as many garages are.
	That's an amazing conjecture.
	They were on the floor, the garage was not secure.
	Just strewn.
	Now we've gone from a matter of international security down to whether or not he's got rising damp in his garage or whether he needs lagging.
	He should consider some lagging.
	He needs to insulate that space before keeping classified documents in there.
	You don't miss a trick, does he?
	No.
	Mar-a-Lago is super secure.
	His garage isn't locked up.
	It's probably damp.
	Red's in there.
	Hunter's old pornography.
	He paints vivid images.
	That's why whenever you see Biden communicating, it seems particularly lacklustre.
	Specifically, I think, when Biden, in the mode, modality and timbre of an ordinary politician, is making pledges upon which you know he will later renege.
	Prior to this conflict in Ukraine, he outlined specifically and deliberately the impossibility of military equipment being sent to Ukraine because it would be, literally verbatim in his words, World War 3.
	Here he is saying that.
	Let's look.
	Look, the idea, the idea that we're going to send in offensive equipment and have planes and tanks and trains going in with American pilots and American crews.
	I think anyone thought Thomas the Tank Engine was going to go to Ukraine.
	No one's asked for trains, surely.
	Who wants that?
	That's complicated.
	You've got to lay the tracks, the rails.
	No one's talking about planes, trains, automobiles.
	That's John Candy, Steve Martin.
	Tanks, evidently tanks are back in vogue.
	Everyone's talking about them now.
	Just understand, and don't kid yourself, no matter what you all say, that's called World War Three.
	Leaned into the mic, the mic's popping, the mic's feeding back on that.
	World War Three.
	So, how are we being asked to forget that framing of just a couple of years ago?
	Why are we being expected to understand the war is only beginning at their sanctioned commencement day.
	It's an extraordinary piece of storytelling, but directly next to it, let's look at the, you know,
	the actual delivery of military equipment.
	Today, I'm announcing that the United States will be sending 31 Abram tanks to Ukraine.
	Oh, OK then.
	Well, are there going to be some cranes also?
	I guess he just never stands up well against Trump when it comes to pure oratory.
	No, because Trump would have found a way for that to sound like Trump was doing a good thing.
	I mean, the way that he Describe those documents.
	Essentially all the news at the start, certainly the say CNN news, was about how Biden's documents just wasn't as serious as Trump's.
	Trump's like managed to flip that with one little phrase about how secure Mar-a-Lago is.
	He'd have probably done the same with the trains and the tanks.
	Yeah he would have made that sound better.
	Did you see the mainstream media talking about how many documents Joe Biden Actually has.
	Look, Gareth, try and think of a way of visualising a number of documents and I want you to do this at home as well and let us know in the chat and the comments and if you're watching this on YouTube, stay with us but remember, click over to Rumble in a minute when we start talking about that NIH story and the origins of the thing that must not be discussed.
	Let's look now at the mainstream media Offering us the opportunity to envisage, using analogy and metaphor, the sheer amount of files Biden has.
	How do you want to see it?
	Do you want to see it as like a tub of files, a vat of files, a cathedral of files?
	How should we envisage it?
	We now have new information on the bulk of documents that Joe Biden donated to his alma mater, the University of Delaware.
	According to lawyers representing the parties who are trying to get to these documents, there are 1,850 boxes and 415 gigabytes of electronic records consisting of the so-called Biden records.
	The documents are said to fill up two tractor-trailer trucks.
	It's a really odd tongue twister because she sounds like she could do... That's not a sentence she should be tackling.
	Two trailer tractor trucks full of Biden documents!
	Yeah, that sounds like a warm-up you would do before you go on air.
	It's a vocal warm-up!
	Two toads totally tired of trying to track the trailer trucks!
	But the thing is, is that even in spite of this escalating conflict, there is still more chance of us dying of climate change as opposed to nuclear war.
	That's what Biden claims.
	Global warming is a bigger threat to humanity than nuclear war.
	I'm not sure about right now.
	In the immediate, you wouldn't think.
	I'm not like, when I was a teenager, I didn't fall asleep at night thinking, oh no, it's getting hotter and hotter, sea levels are going to rise, ultimately.
	This is, in a sense, something that you have to hold in your consciousness, along with solar flares, the inevitability of death.
	Nuclear war is so immediate, so impulsive, so easy to connect to the kind of emotional tunes of rage, conflict, greed and mendacity that you continually hear being played.
	For me, it feels like a much more vivid phrase.
	I mean, let me know in the chat, let me know in the comments, what are you more concerned about right now?
	Right now!
	Listen, if you're watching this on YouTube, click over and join us on Rumble.
	We've got a fantastic guest coming up talking about new global movements, the CIA spying on politicians in our country, Britain, as well as your own, and the necessity for new communities and organisations if we're ever going to stand up to elite, centralised, globalist forces.
	Join us in a minute and also we're going to be talking about that NIH story about the protocols and breaches of security and just basic hygiene and safety that were taking place during a very important time.
	I'll go too much DL on YouTube but it seems that the NIH weren't as careful as they could have been with experiments and clinical trials.
	Who was in charge of the NIH at that point?
	A little known and underappreciated man called Anthony Fauci who's a good guy who just doesn't have nearly enough fanfare around his... No.
	Many unrewarded, unfinancially motivated achievements in this crazy world.
	A few more documentaries, I think.
	Let's make a few more documentaries about how great he is.
	That's what's needed with Anthony Fauci.
	Boris Johnson, former Prime Minister of our country, he says you don't have to worry about escalating the conflicts in Ukraine.
	How is he still getting invites?
	Why is he still even near you?
	What's the matter?
	He's two Prime Ministers ago and he's not relevant anymore.
	I wouldn't have thought.
	We're going to be leaving YouTube in a moment, OK?
	So I'm just letting you know.
	But you should click over, join us on Rumble where we're going to talk about that NIH story and on our presentation today, here's the news, no here's the effing news, we're going to be talking about Zelensky's deals with major globalist corporations to reconstruct Ukraine.
	You won't believe how plain, how evident and obvious the opportunities for profiteering are.
	This is not conspiracy theory, this is business as usual.
	Almost like that was the plan all along, almost like.
	Almost like.
	I'm saying it could be Has there ever been in history America dabbling in foreign affairs, instilling or installing a favorable leader in a nation, ultimately toppling them, rebuilding that country for profit?
	Can you remember any occasions?
	It's just that's been an incessant trope of American foreign policy.
	Goodbye YouTube, because I'm... Not forever.
	No, we'll be on.
	We love you guys.
	But we're going to leave now because I'm going to express myself.
	I'm going to unbutton my top a little bit.
	Another button's coming off.
	I've got me a hankering for some freedom of speech, gal.
	That's what's calling me.
	Here's the news.
	We're going to look at this NIH story.
	Shall we have a quick look at this, Gareth?
	Help me to say it in a way that's responsible because this is how I understand it and I want to explain this to everybody watching.
	Let me know in the chat and comments if you've heard this story.
	The NIH were funding trials in Wuhan at the Wuhan Institute of Virology Through the EcoHealth Alliance, that's that Peter Daszak dude, him that likes to go down the bat caves and snoop about, prodding bats up the gland, squeezing out their dirty little bat juices and seeing how you can make them a bit worse.
	Oh no, I've made it worse!
	But luckily we'll be able to find a solution as well, right?
	I think I'm understanding this story correctly.
	So the NIH were funding trials at the Wuhan Institute of Virology during the time that the coronavirus pandemic began, which is widely understood to have began in Wuhan.
	Some people say down the old stinky old dirty old wet market.
	Some people say in the Wuhan Institute of Virology and some people say it's bioengineered.
	Those are the three theories that emerged at the point of the origin.
	One of those theories was prized and presented and the other two were, broadly speaking, neglected.
	Well, there's news stories to say that the National Institute of Health were somewhat remiss in their general handling and reporting on that incident.
	Am I being fair?
	Yeah, you are.
	Apparently there's a report that's saying they did not properly track EcoHealth Alliance who were studying coronaviruses.
	And this has reinforced concerns about the federal government's system for monitoring research with potentially risky pathogens for obvious reasons
	because if you've got a now what's coming to light if you've got a group like EcoHealth
	Alliance and Peter Daszak that you spoke of yeah that are conducting studies on coronavirus at
	the World Health Institute of Virology and now we're hearing well through this report
	things about missed deadlines confusing protocols misspent funds. It's like they're uh sort of a
	teenager that you're worried about.
	Yeah, right.
	Oh no, they're missing deadlines.
	They've wasted their pocket money.
	Yeah.
	They're lying.
	Well it's a lot of pocket money because apparently it was about eight million dollars worth of... Whose money was that ultimately?
	Where did it come from?
	I think that may have come from the taxpayer.
	It's your money!
	It's your money!
	That's why they don't care.
	They don't spend it correctly.
	The Biden administration has made reducing the risk of laboratory accidents a major plank of its pandemic preparedness strategy.
	Isn't that the thing with C-3PO?
	That's an interesting, yes it is, and that's an interesting sentence, isn't it?
	Because you'd think that that's slightly suggesting that laboratory accidents being a major plank of pandemic preparedness strategy is like, they're kind of acknowledging these things could occur in a lab.
	Not that it could have obviously occurred in a lab then.
	That's completely different because there was the stinking wet market.
	So it couldn't have happened then, but in the future it could.
	Hold on, I want to build a case.
	So we're saying now, at the time that the coronavirus pandemic began in Wuhan, the NIH were funding research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology But they weren't doing it carefully.
	We've carefully observed deadlines and diligent protocols.
	They were being, what I might describe, slapdash, cavalier.
	And I would say that if your job at work is to take viruses and pathogens and make them more lethal and deadly, you shouldn't be carrying it out like it's jazz.
	You're old school, Ross.
	When I do my pathogen research, I'm focused.
	And this is the only thing in the room.
	It's just me.
	That's not how the kids do it these days.
	I'm like the Beethoven of pathogen research.
	All it is, is like, I see it.
	It's like sympathesia.
	I'm like Kandinsky.
	I can see them pathogens.
	I can feel them moving around.
	I'm focused.
	No, pathogens are done like on TikTok these days.
	Yeah, they're- Quickly, 30 seconds.
	Yeah, yo, got some pathogens here.
	Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh.
	Oi, when you gonna give us that research back?
	I don't know, sometime.
	Bite me!
	I'll do it when I'm ready!
	They're being a little bit lackadaisical, a bit casual about something that, well, I suppose it's another enormous and inconvenient coincidence that exactly that time a terrible new virus emerged from exactly that place.
	It is that.
	If you look at that last paragraph there Ross.
	Why don't you read it?
	I actually can't see very well.
	I actually can't see very well.
	Alright, the NIH did not adequately monitor EcoHealth's grant awards in accordance with
	its policies and procedures and other federal requirements, the report said.
	The Watchdog chided the NIH for, among other things, failing to demand a progress report
	that was two years late.
	Can we have that progress report?
	Ask us in a year.
	If we have that progress report, still not got it.
	And that health officials later said contained evidence of viral growth in experiments that was supposed to have been reported immediately.
	That doesn't sound good, because they were two pretty crucial years I would say.
	So the fact that they were two years late on that report...
	Did anything happen during that couple of years?
	Um, yeah, Sue got divorced.
	That was, uh, we were a bit sad about that.
	Obviously, we all had birthdays.
	Yeah, we had a lovely leaving day for Dave.
	Uh, yeah.
	Nice cake.
	When Dave left, he wasn't that well.
	It didn't taste great.
	Dave couldn't taste it, he said.
	He said something was wrong with his taste.
	And he did, he felt this mysterious illness.
	He was coughing and that and all tired.
	It wasn't that bad, but it was, it was, it was like a cold, but a bit worse.
	Some sort of thing you need to stop the whole world for, to bang everyone up in their houses.
	But if Dave, for example, had a respiratory condition, my God, we'd have been really careful there, or if Dave had been very old, then some sort of medicine made at cost, funded by corporations, and if the taxpayer funded it, all those profits would obviously go back to those taxpayers in order to create a fairer world.
	Anyway, um... What do you tell Dave?
	Well, we tell him to stay at home, stay indoors, don't do any exercise, and eat as much junk food as he likes.
	Just eat junk food.
	And actually, Dave, we've got some medicine now, and if you take that medicine, we'll give you a free dirty, stinking, fat-covered cake.
	These medicines, are they alright?
	There's no research available on that, Dave.
	You're just gonna have to... It'll be available in a few years.
	There you go.
	See?
	Now, what we were doing there, that's called Tatto.
	I know.
	We tiptoed around it nimbly.
	Nimbly.
	That was like Nijinsky.
	That was brilliant.
	I mean, if there are awards available for things like that, and there frankly aren't, we would probably be somewhere in the running.
	It's good to know that EcoHealth Alliance are still getting money, isn't it though, I think?
	Keep giving the EcoHealth Alliance your taxpayer money.
	Get DASAC in those caves as much as possible.
	It's nice to know that if you're being taxed at 25%, 30%, 40%, whatever it is, that that money is being handled responsibly.
	That that's not given to the military-industrial complex, it's given to the EcoHealth Alliance.
	And you'll be happy to know that men like Anthony Fauci are receiving royalties in a variety of ways.
	It's good to see that the system is working so well.
	Don't tinker with it.
	There's no room for another party.
	There's no room for new, innovative, bold ideas.
	Just keep it within this very, very narrow framework.
	Gal, shall we?
	We should.
	Ought we?
	We must.
	Dare we?
	OK, now some of you will have been astonished at the handling of this war.
	the misreporting, the biases, the emphasis on Putin's personal failings and evident
	tyranny and the focus on the criminality of Russia's invasion with no detailing of the
	provocation that preceded it.
	You perhaps will have been surprised to see Zelensky hailed as an international hero and
	perhaps he is a hero for all I know but seeing him turn up at the Golden Globes for lacrimose
	parades of propaganda, here he is, Zelensky, getting given People's Oscars and all sorts
	of crazy stuff going on, perhaps it makes a little more sense when you see Zelensky
	reading a list of the organisations, let's call them what they are, corporations that
	will benefit from the reconstruction of Ukraine.
	You saw that list.
	We saw that list.
	Is this a proxy war?
	Are we able to call it that yet?
	Why are there no voices for peace yet?
	Let's have a look at Zelensky's list.
	It's moving.
	It's touching.
	It's not Oskar Schindler, but it's, it's, this is the best list since Schindler, is what I'm calling it.
	Let's have a look at Zelensky's list on Here's the News.
	Here's the effing news.
	Thank you for choosing Fox News.
	Good day.
	Now, here's the effing news.
	Zelensky has read out a list of the corporate giants that will be charged with rebuilding,
	reconstructing, privatizing Ukraine.
	Having heard that list, is it finally safe for us to call this war what it is?
	A proxy war that is about destabilizing Russia and the privatization of Ukraine?
	Of course also, Putin is evil.
	Putin is evil!
	Today we are talking about Zelensky's list.
	Having already in 2022, by the way, rung that bell that opens the stock market.
	And if that's not a clear indication where your affiliations lie, then this list is.
	He lists like JP Morgan, BlackRock, it's essentially the avengers of big globalist corporations who are now going to profit, unless we're still being told they're doing this for humanitarian reasons, in the reconstruction of Ukraine.
	Now that we've heard this list, now that we've seen Zelensky turn up at the Golden Globes and other propagandist events, Is it okay for us to say that this war is about more than helping Ukrainian people confront evil tyranny in the form of Putin?
	Let me know in the chat, let me know in the comments.
	Let's have a look at Zelensky's list of heroes.
	It is obvious that American business can become the locomotive that will once again push forward global economic growth.
	Often there are conditions that the globalist establishment requires before doing the types of deals that Zelensky describes.
	You will have seen our previous videos in which we talk about the IMF and the World Bank and the kind of leverage that they require in order to give what they call loans, but seem essentially like opportunities to take control of new territories and economies.
	And this is no different.
	You'll be astonished to learn that there are strong anti-union laws being implemented in Ukraine to assure that the conditions for massive profit can be created.
	So it looks like what's happening now is essentially Ukraine is being made a NATO member and it's being colonized, i.e.
	opportunities for growth for profit are being created.
	Now, how can you use taxpayer money to generate these conditions?
	Well, I suppose only if you were to say that Putin is like a shitting himself Hitler and we're only doing this to help people.
	Oh yeah, under these conditions I suppose you could.
	What I believe this war offers us the opportunity to do is recognise how reductive our media have become.
	Part of the formula these days is to present a situation as humanitarian or a crisis that needs a necessary resolution, then in effect powerful elite interests benefit from it.
	Have that formula in your mind and then we can use it together to critique situations as they unfold.
	We have already managed to attract attention and have cooperation with such giants of the international financial and investment world as BlackRock, JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs.
	These are not unequivocal forces for good.
	JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs and BlackRock are not charities.
	They're not philanthropic organizations.
	Even philanthropic organizations Aren't that philanthropic?
	Who's next in there?
	The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation?
	While the United States and Europe flood Ukraine with tens of billions of dollars of weapons using it as an anti-Russian proxy and pouring fuel on the fire of a brutal war that is devastating the country They are also making plans to essentially plunder its post-war economy.
	These are evocative words, but this is the kind of evocative language that's required to balance the vanilla narrative we're continually fed.
	We're continually told, you know, help Ukraine, help Ukrainian people.
	And of course, the reason you're told that is because that is the right thing to do.
	But I don't believe that that's what's happening.
	Do you?
	Let me know in the chat.
	Let me know in the comments.
	Representatives of Western governments and corporations met in Switzerland last July to plan a series of harsh neoliberal policies to impose on post-war Ukraine, calling to cut labour laws, open markets, drop tariffs, deregulate industries and sell state-owned enterprises to private investors.
	That is a formula for corporatisation.
	That's what's being offered here.
	If you're familiar with the term neoliberalism, then you will know that this is what's happened in Western democracies in the previous 20 or 30 years.
	Asset stripping, finding publicly owned assets, selling it off to private organisations when these assets were built using public money.
	That's a fantastic way to make profit.
	Of course what we're seeing now in countries like ours, and probably yours if you're American, is that there is a devastating impact on the economy that We live in.
	This causes housing crisis.
	This causes a loss of jobs.
	Ultimately, it could be argued that the same way that you had people like Gaddafi in Libya
	and Saddam Hussein in Iraq, leaders in countries that had to be destabilised and leaders that
	had to later be deposed, this is a comparable modality.
	Go into a country, claim that we're sort of helping out, paint a very vivid and lurid
	picture of tyranny and humanitarian disasters, and who do you bring in?
	Is it the Red Cross?
	No, it's Black Rock.
	Ultimately, what they're talking about as well is political purchase and political control
	Ukraine are going to set up laws that mean that ultimately unions can't form, that wages are controlled.
	This kind of stuff comes at a cost.
	Ukraine has been destabilised by violence since 2014 when a US-sponsored coup d'etat overthrew its democratically elected government, setting off a civil war.
	That conflict dragged on till February the 24th, 2022, when Russia invaded the country, escalating into a new, even deadlier phase of the war.
	So it's essentially saying that the war began a lot earlier.
	In fact, when Jeffrey Sachs came on our show, he said that this war is eight years in the making.
	Even the framing of the duration of the war is a mainstream media construction.
	This geopolitical situation is comparable to the pandemic.
	We're only being shown a tiny, tiny slice of the information, because if we were to have access to the entire picture, we'd say, hey, hold on a minute.
	Aren't there different ways to approach this?
	Aren't there different solutions that are available?
	And isn't it possible that in your pursuit of your own corporate globalist goals, you could take us to the brink of Armageddon?
	If you have awakened investigative citizens saying, forget left and right, forget everything else, just tell me the information so I can determine for myself and for my family and for my community what I believe is best, they can't allow that.
	That's why we're continually turned against one another, that's why we're continually fed pure old ridiculous narratives that fit only for children.
	Washington had sent large sums of weapons to Ukraine and provided extensive military training and support over several years before Russia invaded.
	Meanwhile, starting in 2017, representatives of Western governments and corporations quietly held annual conferences in which they discussed ways to profit from the civil war they were fueling in Ukraine.
	In these meetings, Western political and business leaders outlined a series of aggressive reforms they hoped to impose on Ukraine, including widespread privatization of state-owned industries and deregulation of the economy.
	On July 4th and 5th, 2022, top officials from the US, EU, Britain, Japan and South Korea met in Switzerland for a so-called Ukraine Recovery Conference.
	There, they planned Ukraine's post-war reconstruction and performatively announced aid commitments.
	Let's hold a Ukraine Recovery Conference.
	What are we recovering?
	We are recovering Ukraine from Ukrainian people.
	And everyone can become a big business by working with Ukraine in all sectors from weapons and defense.
	Yeah, weapons and defense.
	Good.
	That's definitely happening.
	To construction, from communication to agriculture.
	Yep, all of them.
	All of the global elite interests can benefit from this war.
	At the beginning, it was like, well, how could there be anything other than just Russia's egregious criminal invasion, Putin's evil tyranny?
	Oh, look, by some weird coincidence, all of the world's most powerful interests are going to benefit.
	It's a bit like the pandemic, really, when by helping us all to get better, some of the world's most powerful interests benefit.
	It's weird how this keeps happening.
	From transport to IT, from banks to medicine.
	Banks and medicine, same players again and again.
	And I believe That freedom must always win.
	Gotta have freedom.
	Gotta have freedom.
	Freedom to make a great deal of money out of human suffering.
	The Ukraine Recovery Conference was not new.
	It had been renamed to save the expense of a new acronym.
	In the previous five years, the group and its annual meetings were instead referred to as the Ukraine Reform Conference.
	The URC's agenda was explicitly focused on imposing political changes on the country, namely strengthening the market economy, decentralization, privatization, reform of state-owned enterprises, land reform, state administration reform, and Euro-Atlantic integration.
	That sounds a little bit like corporatize it, privatize it, Get it in NATO.
	Before 2022, this gathering had nothing to do with aid and a lot to do with economics.
	It's a shame that this is all to do with economics.
	If only there was some war or humanitarian angle that would really bolster our efforts.
	Just wait there one second.
	Putin, you son of a bitch!
	So what they're calling the Ukraine Recovery Conference is starting to sound like a convention for corporate interests and profiteering opportunity.
	Documents from the 2018 Ukraine Reform Conference ...emphasized the importance of privatizing most of Ukraine's remaining public sector, stating that the ultimate goal of the reform is to sell state-owned enterprises to private investors.
	There you go.
	Explicit.
	Along with calls for more privatization, deregulation, energy reform, tax and customs reform.
	Just in case you think that you've turned into a conspiracy theorist and are believing things for which there's no legitimate basis, here are some world leaders and political players and leaders on the corporate stage openly stating that they are going to benefit from reconstructing Ukraine.
	Well I can tell you that the UK will be sticking by Ukraine for as long as it takes.
	We will be there for the long term.
	And we will also want to be helping you to reconstruct.
	Reconstruct?
	That's the reconstructing.
	And here we are taking the money out of Ukraine.
	Here's Ursula von der Leyen explaining to the assembled leaders and corporatists and big tech giants at Davos that they are required to rebuild Ukraine.
	You might think, I've heard that name, Ursula von der Leyen, before.
	Yeah, you have.
	It's when Albert Baller was texting her directly, doing deals for billions of vaccines, coincidentally, that didn't pass by a council of approval.
	We raise the necessary investment for reconstruction, and it is a perfect opportunity to take investment and reform to pave this way for Ukraine towards the European Union.
	And what we need is not only investment with the public sector, but the private investment and your knowledge.
	Gotta have that.
	Gotta have private investment.
	And of course, knowledge as well.
	You know so much in your respective fields.
	So we need your knowledge.
	We need every hand on board to really move forward with repair, relief at the very beginning, but also reconstruction.
	Gotta reconstruct it.
	The people of Ukraine really deserve it.
	So there you go, there you see everything tying the morality, the necessary duty we have to help one another, to help the suffering Ukrainian people, with the interests of the establishment elite.
	As long as you can converge those two ideas, then dissent becomes criminal.
	People will say that I'm a crackpot conspiracy theorist for saying it and you're a nutcase for believing it, but they're admitting BlackRock, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs are going to benefit from the reconstruction of Ukraine.
	If something is truly humanitarian, here's a good way of demonstrating it.
	Extract the profit from it altogether.
	If not, don't pretend it's humanitarian.
	Just go, listen, this is the agenda.
	Ukraine was ultimately a place that was too resource rich and had too strong a ties with Russia historically, politically and even ethnically in some cases.
	We're not having it.
	We're going in there.
	We're destabilizing it.
	We're going to provoke Russia until they engage militarily.
	Then we're going to go in there and corporatize it.
	Why wouldn't they say that?
	Because that's not very popular.
	What story is it?
	In September 2022, Zelensky symbolically rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange via video stream.
	The Ukrainian leader declared that his country was open for business with more than $400 billion in investment options.
	At the same time, Zelensky published an editorial in the Wall Street Journal calling on Western corporations to invest in the future of Ukraine.
	One way of looking at the framing of Zelensky is that he is indeed a heroic leader who is galvanizing a nation that is suffering under the military attack of a more powerful aggressor that is important and worthy of praise.
	Another way of looking at Zelensky is that his interests align with the interests of the most powerful economic institutions in the world, some of the most powerful corporations and most powerful nations.
	Their agenda and Zelensky's agenda temporarily line up like Gaddafi's agenda once did, like Saddam Hussein's agenda once did.
	I hope for Zelensky's sake that the agenda stays in alignment because I don't know what's happened to Gaddafi but I'm I feel like he ended up with a bit of a jostly jeep ride and Saddam Hussein.
	Goodbye!
	The Ukrainian government cited corporate executives at Google, Alphabet and Microsoft who urge more Western companies to buy up the country's assets.
	And there it is.
	It's just literally there in plain sight.
	In December 2022, Zelensky held a video conference with billionaire Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager.
	Zelensky's office said that BlackRock will advise the Ukrainian government on how to structure the country's reconstruction funds and is coordinating the efforts of all potential investors and participants in the reconstruction of our country.
	This means that under Western tutelage, Ukraine has essentially privatized and outsourced its economic policy to BlackRock, one of the world's most powerful corporations.
	Often we show you charts of how the most powerful economic entities in the world are no longer nations, they are corporations.
	Other than a few and you know their names, the most powerful nations in the world, the most powerful and influential entities on our planet are corporate.
	And here we can see how they've been charged with creating the economic policy of an entire nation.
	Right now the world's attention is on Ukraine and Ukraine's future policies are going to be determined by BlackRock's interests.
	Obviously.
	It sounds like an outrageous thing to say, but of course BlackRock and JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs, they're not going to invest in you.
	Sorry guys, you know that thing we did to help everyone in Ukraine?
	Yeah, it wasn't profitable.
	We've lost loads of money for everybody, but the good news is we really, really helped Ukraine.
	Hello?
	I don't know, humanitarian help?
	Hello!
	During a recent WEF session in Davos, Larry Fink spoke of his plans to help coordinate billions of dollars worth of reconstruction financing for Ukraine, saying he hoped the initiative would also turn the country into a beacon of capitalism.
	Oh my God, it's very explicit.
	This is not conspiracy theory.
	The very fact that they're saying it in this public way, I don't even know what the counter-argument to this is, actually.
	I don't know why they say, well Russell, of course after a war it's going to need reconstruction and you're going to want the most powerful interests in the world.
	I get that.
	I get what the world is.
	But that's essentially our argument is would you include in your media narratives the fact that the most powerful interests in the world are going to benefit from this and stop giving us these reductive simplistic tales of good versus evil which could in fact lead us to an apocalyptic conflict because that's unreasonable and unfair and And most importantly, untrue.
	Give us the truth and stop creating narratives that only benefit elites when they could in fact be detrimental not only to all of you watching this, but the Ukrainian people themselves.
	They're going to find it difficult to work.
	They've had a war that could have been stopped earlier.
	What I object to, I think, is the lying.
	David Solomon, CEO of Goldman Sachs, spoke cheerily of Ukraine's post-war future.
	There is no question that as you rebuild there will be good economic incentives for real return and real investment, he said.
	In one way, I'm almost tempted to just go along with it and invest in it.
	Zelensky's government has imposed some of the world's most aggressive anti-worker policies.
	So if you love Ukraine, which obviously he does, I'm not saying that Zelensky doesn't love Ukraine, but aggressive anti-worker policies, passing legislation that deprives around 73% of workers for their rights to union protection and collective bargaining.
	How's that good for Ukrainian people?
	Oh, how it's good is you can now do deals with Goldman Sachs and Ukraine, and they won't do those deals if you're like, hey, obviously, though, as leader of Ukraine, I've got to make sure that Ukrainian people They're the people that should benefit.
	After all, they're the ones who had their children killed and suffered from all the bombing and the turmoil.
	Oh no, you know who's really suffered from this?
	J.P.
	Morgan.
	J.P.
	Morgan, Friday's comedy.
	Oh God, help me man.
	When's this war gonna end?
	This is all just bullshit.
	We're dealing with a monumental amount of bullshit and are meant to sort of say thank you while we eat it as if it's chocolate cake.
	In an interview with Multipolarista, economist Michael Hudson compared the new emergency anti-labour laws imposed by the Ukrainian government to the brutal neoliberal policies implemented by Chile's far-right Pinochet dictatorship after a CIA-backed coup in 1973.
	In Chile, there was a democratically elected government.
	That government was destabilised and a military dictatorship was installed on the condition that Afterwards a bunch of money will be made by all of these corporate interests as long as you set up favourable conditions for anti-labour unions, privatisation and all that.
	So this doesn't on one level seem that different from the kind of stuff that we've known that America through the CIA have done for years and years.
	It's just now that somehow it's become harder to track.
	It used to be like almost our duty to be anti-war.
	When did all this change?
	When did it change?
	How is it changing?
	What's going on?
	And as Mr. Zelensky said, it may be the end of affluence for the labor force, but it's going
	to be a bonanza for you investors in the New York Stock Exchange.
	Doesn't seem like a very good war.
	The labor force means Ukrainians.
	Ukrainians have exchanged their liberties and opportunity for affluence with opportunities for the New York Stock
	That's what this war has achieved.
	Somebody's loss is turned into somebody else's game.
	Ukraine is the poorest country in Europe, but it'll also be the richest country in Europe for the 1%, Hudson concluded.
	Well there you go, I don't know how much more explicitly it needs to be stated.
	I think we're entering into a bizarre new age where global events are presented to us in a way that kind of doesn't give you the right to question the moral authority of what's happening, whether it's the response to a pandemic or the response to a war.
	They use our collective beliefs, so clearly there is some sort of universal sentiment that we should be helping one another and that war is bad and we should be protecting people that are suffering.
	They somehow managed to manipulate that into opportunities for profit for, you know, according to this, the 1%, the elites.
	So what do I think we should be doing?
	I think we should be campaigning for an end to this war.
	I think that we should be campaigning for diplomatic solutions, for peace, for the Ukrainian people, for an end to the hysteria around this subject, for a media that tells us the truth and that every time there's a crisis it doesn't get turned into an opportunity for the most powerful interests in the world to profit from it.
	Well that's just what I think.
	Let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
	I'll see you in a second.
	Thanks for refusing Fox News.
	The day.
	No, he's the fucking news.
	We know our brain sends messages all over our bodies.
	Of course we do, it's in constant communication.
	But did you know that the gut is speaking back to your brain?
	Not like that, grow up.
	The more we learn about how the gut is connected to everything else,
	the more we understand how much a good probiotic can impact every process in your body.

	That is how I do it Be here, meow.
	I can't believe that stock market thing.
	Hey, it was just fascinating to hear, I think in particular, a list of global corporate, let's not say villains, because there'll be fine people working in all of the organizations like BlackRock, JP Morgan.
	Oh yeah.
	Definitely.
	Goldman Sachs.
	All the way through.
	Just fine people.
	All, you know, I believe in salts and neats.
	Solzhenitsyn's edict that the line between good and evil runs through every human heart, but nevertheless it does perhaps point to an agenda other than humanitarianism in that conflict on behalf of the West when you hear those names listed.
	I'm incredibly excited to introduce our guest today.
	Len McCluskey is a union leader and a key part of the last anti-corporate, anti-establishment movement to get anywhere near to power in this country, even though it was ultimately crushed by the mainstream media and even The deep state, not even from our country, the CIA evidently had files on Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of that movement.
	Thanks for joining us, Len.
	Good to be with you, Russell.
	Len, you're talking now about the necessity for a new political movement.
	I think many people feel a sense of political vagrancy, that no mainstream political party represents them, that we are dealing really with a co-opted political system Where the voices of both parties, you know, in countries like ours, the UK and in America, have been co-opted by corporate forces, co-opted by the finances of powerful institutions, private institutions primarily, and that democracy is veiled, truncated, castrated.
	Is a new political movement something that interests you?
	Is that something that you're involved in currently?
	What I've been saying, Russell, is that there's a danger that Labour, the Labour Party that has always represented working people, ordinary people in Britain, is liable to lose its soul because of what's happening at the moment.
	Democracy in the party is being attacked.
	It's the most authoritarian that I've ever known and I've been a member for 50 years and I'm basically warning that if Labour continues that way then people will start asking the question, does Labour speak for ordinary people anymore?
	And so of course debates and discussions about What you do about that are very prevalent in the UK at the moment, and that's really a debate that will take place over the next few years if Stormer continues to try and take away the soul of the Labour Party, which is effectively a socialist ideal of what our society should be.
	The Labour Party was organised around representing ordinary working people.
	It's obviously been through numerous mutations, most notably recently under Tony Blair's leadership, where it became a centralist, neo-liberal establishment party.
	And you saying that Keir Starmer, the current leader of the Labour Party, is an establishment figure that wants to neuter You're spot on, Russell.
	and essentially turn it into a party of power.
	We thought it was very interesting to see Keir Starmer attending the WEF Davos conference, for example.
	That's not normally a sign of a dissenting voice.
	You're spot on, Russell.
	The reality is, of course, that what Blair wanted and didn't actually fully achieve
	was to try and turn the Labour Party into a mirror image of the Democratic Party in the States.
	And what happened in 2017 when Jeremy Corbyn almost won power?
	The forces of reaction within both the UK and indeed in America, the CIA and all the rest of them, were absolutely beside themselves that almost a man with socialist ideals and a vision almost captured power.
	And they made a decision there and then that they were never going to allow that to happen again.
	And they try to destroy Corbyn and anybody close to Corbyn try to destroy Corbynism.
	And in Kiev, they seem to have captured an individual who can be a puppet of theirs, who is constantly attacking the left wing, forcing the left of the Labour Party out of the Labour Party.
	And that's the danger that we have to be aware of.
	It is becoming clear that globalist and corporatist power is transcendent of national sovereign power and democratic power.
	And when a figure, whether from the left or from elsewhere on the political spectrum, emerges that is a challenge to those centralist establishment forces, they will use deep state means to shut it down.
	They will use their allies in the mainstream media to create There's no doubt.
	There's absolutely no doubt.
	pejorative narratives to crush any potential dissent.
	Are you saying, Len, that from your involvement in that movement,
	you felt that the mainstream media and deep state forces acted
	in concordance with one another to shut down any...
	There's no doubt. There's absolutely no doubt.
	You can imagine that the CIA in America would have picked the phone up
	to their friends in the British establishment and said, what the hell
	are you guys playing at?
	How have you allowed a man like Corbyn to almost get into power?
	Let's make certain it doesn't happen again.
	Your previous piece that you've just done, which was brilliant, by the way, absolutely brilliant, I mean, you're the best investigative journalist I've come across in recent times.
	But BlackRock, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, the corporate elite, they're the people who run our nations.
	That's what brings us all together.
	What happens in America today happens in the UK tomorrow.
	That's why there is this linkage these days, this global movement.
	I remember the Occupy movement started in America and fantastic,
	gave us the 99% and the 1%, came to the UK, right in the city of London.
	I addressed them and it's about working people throughout the world,
	understanding precisely what's happening.
	We're being attacked and the same problems occur in in Texas and in California as they do in Yorkshire and London.
	Working people all over the world are becoming increasingly aware that they are being crushed by globalist forces and that democracy has been hollowed out as you just described Lyn and thank you very much for the compliment by the way and obviously I'm merely the mouthpiece of a team of dedicated hard-working people that do great research and we work In coordination with one another to bring about stories that hopefully challenge mainstream narratives.
	Whether you're talking about the farmers and the way those farmer protests have been in Sri Lanka, the Netherlands, Germany, here in this country, across the United States, because of Big Food and Big Agra, or whether you're talking about The pandemic and how key workers, nurses, doctors, teachers, people that had to continue working were rightly celebrated, rightly supported, only to be abandoned now at a time when their rights are being compromised, when they're not being supported financially or in terms of their working conditions in the manner that they ought be.
	Earlier this week we had Christian Smalls, one of the new emergent leaders of the big tech union movement that we're very excited about because it's truly populist, truly diverse and unifying.
	It's very interesting that our country, the UK at the moment, has action all over the place as ordinary working people fight for their rights to work with dignity.
	Whether that's in the healthcare industry, the same things happen in America.
	We were astonished and disgusted to learn that 34,000 nurses in New York Lost their jobs in the pandemic because of their refusal to take medications that are meant to be voluntary.
	We're disgusted to learn about the number of care workers in this country that, while simultaneously being celebrated, lost their right to work.
	What can you tell us what we can learn from the way that the NHS, which is our national health service in the UK, was celebrated during the pandemic and now the people that work for it, the people that hold it together, are being abandoned?
	What does that tell us about the values of this country and the values of the establishment, Len?
	Well, the values of the establishment are very clear.
	It's profit before people.
	The reality, of course, of what you've just explained, and it's spot on, I know about what happened In New York, absolutely disgraceful.
	The only organisations that can protect workers from the attacks that are currently taking place are trade unions.
	And in all of these countries, and certainly in dictators, what you just said about Ukraine, where they're going to limit the powers of trade unions, is spot on.
	Trade unions are the only defence that working people have.
	And in Britain at the moment, today, half a million workers I've walked out on strike because they've said enough is enough.
	I've been involved in strikes for the last 50 years, hundreds of them.
	I've never yet met a worker.
	Who likes going out on strike.
	I have very close connections with our trade unions in America and the same applies there.
	No one wants to go out on strike.
	They only go out on strike when they sense an injustice against them and they don't have anything else they can do but try to protect their living standards.
	And I'll make this quick point and it applies in America as well as the UK.
	Whenever there's a war Billions of pounds are found like that in order to promote the war and, as you say, the aftermath of the war where the global elite make huge amounts of money.
	Governments, and certainly the UK government, should find the money in order to settle the disputes for our nurses, our NHS, all our public sector workers, who rightly are saying there's a war against us.
	It's called the cost of living crisis.
	So we want our government to be on our side.
	This Conservative government at the moment hasn't got a clue.
	They're completely out of touch.
	But trade unions, both here and in the States, is the way to protect working people.
	The US clearly are too deeply alloyed to their corporate paymasters and globalist partners to ever support working people.
	A genuinely new populist movement that is inclusive is required right now to attack these centralised establishment forces before it's too late.
	And I suppose the pandemic offered us an opportunity to view this dilemma through a new lens.
	The same way that Putin and the war is being blamed for spiralling Energy crisis when energy companies continue to make these incredible profits while workers are unable to be paid a fair and decent wage.
	And of course we're all aware of the looming AI revolution that will further disempower ordinary working people.
	It seems to me that this is a time for new populism, new politics, for people to come together across conventional boundaries and divides so that we can at last confront that power.
	Russell, once again, you've raised an incredibly important point.
	The question of automation, we're told by independent studies, will result by 2035 in the loss of 45% of the jobs in America and 35% of the jobs in Europe.
	There has to be a movement of ordinary working people And by the way, the wealth will increase enormously in that period.
	So where is that wealth going?
	How is it going to be properly used in order to make certain that we have a fair and just and decent society?
	An excellent point to raise.
	Thanks, Len.
	I know that one of the things we feel in our culture today is that we are bereft of elders and leaders, that we live in atomised cultures without values, that we can't turn to one another in communities of support and love.
	So I'm really honoured to have you on our show.
	I know you've dedicated your life to organizing people to confront corruption and establishment power.
	It's a great privilege to have you on.
	I'm excited to read your new book, Always Read, where presumably you tell the story of how you've been involved in this movement and hopefully tell Those of us coming up behind you, how we can organize in new and innovative ways to face the challenges that will doubtlessly be upon us as a result of automation, globalism, corruption, hollowed out democracies, and certainly in countries like the United States and the United Kingdom.
	Not having any true political representation and having a media that is determined to lie to us and keep us dumb and distracted and continue to deny us the alternatives that are our birthright.
	I want to thank you again for your work up to this moment Len and I know that you do great stuff for like Julian Assange's campaign.
	I know that you are relentless in your pursuit of righteousness and justice and it's great to have you on.
	Thank you Len.
	And can I just say, Russell, a big thank you to you.
	A-list stars like yourself can quite easily enjoy a fantastic life.
	And what you do is you are the voice of ordinary working people when you could quite easily Avoid any controversy.
	So thank you for what you do and thank you for the show that you do.
	It's fantastic.
	Cheers for saying that, Len.
	That's really kind of you.
	You lovely fella.
	Although the fact is I've been too controversial for too long.
	The simple truth is that this is my best bet.
	In the end, I had no choice but authenticity and integrity.
	It was the only option that was left for me.
	Thanks for joining us, Len.
	It's a joy to have you on.
	You can check out Len McCluskey's book, Being Red.
	We'll post a link in the description.
	I'll be reading it myself.
	Hey, we've got some exciting shows coming up this week.
	Tomorrow, a fellow investigative journalist, a man that works alone, who built his career on his own.
	Tyler, what are you laughing at, Gareth?
	Oh, that's not laughing.
	Do you know what I read into that laugh?
	I'm smiling at how finally people are appreciating you as an investigative journalist.
	I'll do the investigation.
	Well, hello, look at these facts.
	Sometimes they're facts I've discovered myself.
	Wait a minute, that don't add up.
	These facts... Hang on, what are you doing?
	Is he looking at another fact?
	Yeah, hang on.
	If I put this fact with that fact, suddenly that's two facts.
	Wow.
	Now, if an argument... Hang on a minute, what's going on in Wuhan, lad?
	What are they doing over there in my lab?
	That don't make sense.
	No.
	EcoHealth Alliance, Peter Daszak.
	Right.
	The cold, the naughty cold.
	Who are you sniffing then?
	That's coronavirus out of a bat's bum.
	Hey, wait a minute!
	That's not good for you, baby.
	You better invent that vaccine quick smart.
	We're already on it, boss.
	Good work, guys.
	That's it.
	In this end for the diseases, out that end for the money.
	So you think coronavirus came out of a bat's bum?
	Is that where your journalism's got you?
	Gareth, that's some of the more advanced theories.
	Oh, that's for the layman, is it?
	I mean, you're simplifying it a bit.
	Sorry, I can't help it.
	If you squeeze a bat's bottom, what will come out of there is lethal pathogens.
	Some of the worst pathogens that money can actually buy.
	Now, you advance them through gain-of-function research, and by Jove, you've got a problem on your hands, my man.
	On the show tomorrow, we've got another investigative journalist like me, Jimmy Tobias.
	He's talking about the Wuhan lab leak theory.
	He certainly is.
	He's going to be a bit out of his depth, I think, when it comes to some of my knowledge, isn't he?
	Don't embarrass him, Russ.
	I will be gentle with him, but I will not compromise on my facts.
	That's one thing.
	No, you mustn't.
	I'm a bit like Meatloaf.
	I'll do anything for facts, but I won't do that.
	It's not the only thing I won't do.
	I won't do the bare minimum of reading before embarking on a complex show that requires brinkmanship, expertise and understanding where we exist in a space with dedicated people like Jimmy Dore and Tim Pool, people from across the political spectrum.
	Well Len likes you, so there you go.
	Len's chose old Russ.
	Yep.
	Who likes the accent I reckon and a little bit of fun, a little bit of Bit of pluck.
	Bats, bums, all of that.
	All of that.
	People like that.
	They're having a bit of fun.
	There's no reason that a revolution has to be boring.
	Absolutely not.
	That's where they made the mistakes.
	You've made this too boring, you lot.
	It's boring.
	Also, you've shot people afterwards for the wrong reasons.
	I'll tell you that.
	That's none of your business, what they do in bed.
	Yeah.
	Leave them alone, don't shoot them.
	Oh, you've gotten all carried away, you silly sod.
	What you've done is you've done a revolution, then you've become worse than the people you've revoluted against.
	Oh, you bloody kids.
	On Friday's show, we'll be talking to Deepak Chopra so that we can cultivate an inner light that will mean, perhaps, that we have recourse ...to some inner resources that will mean that we're not reliant on this external stimuli for satisfaction.
	They've turned us into addicts and fools.
	If we don't cultivate an inner abundance, a belief in ourselves, a belief in one another and community... I mean, what's the point, Cal?
	One.
	There's not one.
	That was a rhetorical question correctly answered.
	Thank you.
	Deepak Chopra will be joining us and if you're a member of our locals membership community not only will you get my fantastic new stand-up comedy show which we're editing right now and I'm gonna send you some exclusive footage.
	You're gonna send it, are you?
	Press send on that.
	Let me put that down the internet hole if I can just tack into the mainframe.
	You should have exported the show instead of Al the other day.
	If we hadn't left Al in charge of the show the other week then Rumble wouldn't be saying where's the last 18 minutes of Silky Carlo.
	She comes from Big Brother Watch.
	You've bloody done a great big scoop finding out that the CIA in a deep state is spying on people.
	Sorry guys, Russ is going to do it from now on.
	I'll do it myself.
	Let's just, there we go.
	And that's press internet.
	That's all up on Rumble now.
	All nicely, as Jesus would have wanted.
	Sign up to our Locals community for our new show, Stay Connected, where Gareth and I give you the show behind the show.
	We tell you how we put this stuff together.
	We give you unique insights and we answer your questions.
	And all for, is it still at $33 or has it had to go up?
	You better sign up fast!
	Surely it's gone up, hasn't it?
	We've got a minimum guarantee to meet!
	That's per week, isn't it?
	That's for the lot.
	No.
	For everything we've got to offer you, as well as unique opportunities to meet me doing live interviews.
	Plus I'm coming to America soon to do Rogan, Ma, Tucker.
	There's all sorts of stuff going on, Gareth.
	We're moving fast.
	You're coming, aren't you?
	I'll come.
	You've got to, because what if I do interviews with... I want to get Trump.
	We've got Musk, we've got to get Trump, who else are we going to get?
	Let us know who you want to see us interview on our American trip, would you?
	Let us know in the chat.
	Yeah, Rumble, which Jesus would have wanted, that's what I said.
	OK, listen, we're going to go now.
	Download our podcast and you can listen to it when you're, you know, I don't know what you do, but when you're doing that, you can listen to our podcast, Stay Free with Russell Brand.
	Our latest interview with Jimmy Dore is available.
	My God, what a fantastic interview that was as well, Mike.
	Incredible bit of oratory, some wordsmithery, and some genuine passion from Jimmy Dore.
	You'll absolutely love it.
	You should watch that.
	Join us tomorrow, not for more of the same.
	Oh no, no.
	Join us for more of the different.
