I'm a veteran, and I could never be a veteran. I'm a veteran, and I could never be a veteran.
I'm a veteran, and I could never be a veteran. I'm a veteran, and I could never be a veteran.
I'm a veteran, and I could never be a veteran.
I'm a veteran, and I could never be a veteran. I'm a veteran, and I could never be a veteran.
I'm a veteran, and I could never be a veteran.
In this video, you're going to see the future.
Oh Hello, you awakening wonders.
Thanks so much for joining us for Stay Free with Russell Brand on yet another historic day.
These historic days keep coming.
We are obviously watching the unfolding events at the trial of Donald Trump.
In fact, we've got someone on the scene, Robert Sherman.
He's not actually our reporter, is he, Gareth?
No, he's from News Nation.
We've nicked one.
We're using the mainstream media.
We're luring them over one by one.
Every single day, we're going to take another mainstream figure and corrupt them into our radical anti-establishment ways.
And today it's going to be Robert Sherman, who's one of those four to one media folk that outnumber the anticipated members of the public at the scene.
Sorry I'm late today.
I've got had to do with some personal stuff, but I'm dealing with that now.
So I'm here to talk about what's really important.
I've been giving him a little bit of advice and now I can focus on my real priority, ensuring that we are distracted from the corruption that establishment power enshrines continually and making sure that no meaningful change can ever be implemented by people coming together.
Let's have a look now.
Do you know, later we're going to be talking to presidential candidate Marianne Williamson.
She's coming on the show.
I'll be talking to her about, is she an evolution of Trump?
Is she the anti-Trump?
We've got a fantastic presentation on Hillary Clinton running again.
You're going to enjoy that.
It's fantastic stuff.
But let's have a look now at how Fox News are reporting the Trump situation.
Plus, we're going to be going live looking at mainstream media.
If you're watching this on YouTube, You can watch this bit on YouTube for about 15 minutes, then we click over to being exclusively on Rumble simply so that we can attack the establishment more elaborately, more specifically, more particularly without fear of censorship or strikes or any of that stuff.
So if you're watching us on YouTube, there's a link in the description.
You can join us on Rumble.
You can even become a member of our community where people say sort of delightful things.
Sometimes people are just posting like hearts and things like that, but there's a lot of radical discourse on there.
Sometimes they talk about things that's not even to do with us.
That I don't like.
Let's see how the mainstream media in the form of Fox News are reporting current events.
Well there is a ton of activity here in Lower Manhattan outside of the courthouse.
A lot of police officers and a lot of reporters looking to cover this historic story.
I'm going to ask my photographer Phil here to pan and zoom in closer to the scene right across or right down the street.
Pan right into it.
Why do we need to know Phil's name?
Why are you personalising Phil?
All the while we're watching this, we think on Stay Free Media that what we think is significant are the stories that are not being told while this one is being told.
It is definitely a fascinating story because it's, I suppose, a political trial dressed up as a legal one.
I think even if you loathe Trump, you would accept that this isn't a case about, he did what with campaign funds?
That's one of our proudest traditions.
How are we supposed to build administrations that successively drone children in foreign lands and call it rational when people are misappropriating campaign funds?
How are we to find ways of having endless war to keep the military-industrial complex going with people misspending campaign funds?
How is it possible that when there's a financial crash the richest interests in the world somehow seem to benefit and ordinary people lose their homes when Donald Trump is misusing campaign funds?
How can we have a pandemic That whatever else it does and didn't do made sure the pharmaceutical industry, who spend a considerable amount of money on lobbying, became richer than ever before if Donald Trump keeps misusing his campaign fund.
Stormzy Daniels, fury be at thee!
Whatever it is about, it's not about that, is it?
It's not about, hey, the law!
The precious law!
The law designed to enshrine corruption!
The law designed to protect elites!
The very laws that enable people to rob you en masse!
They have to be protected!
The law is not sacred.
The law is a tool of the powerful.
Whether Donald Trump goes to prison, like sweet Lord Jesus before him, or not, That's a reference to the Marjorie Taylor Greene interview in a minute.
You're going to love that.
You've got to stay for that.
That doesn't change the diagnosis of the global legal situation in One Iota.
Let's have a look at Phil's camera work on Fox News and then I reckon get ready with the live stuff.
I'm really fascinated to see the live stuff.
You will see over there just this mob of reporters, local, international, and national media looking to cover this story of global significance.
People are standing shoulder to shoulder.
It's hard to imagine squeezing another camera in between all of those people.
Would you imagine that?
It's hard to imagine it, but I will.
Try though, for a second.
Phil, you imagine it.
Why don't we, if we both imagine it hard enough, maybe if it was a tiny camera and a mouse reporter, they could film the more seen aspects of this case.
So let's have a look what's going on right now on the mainstream.
Is it CNN?
Is it MSNBC?
What mainstream media outlet are we going to live right now?
Someone tell me which one.
It's CNN.
Let's see what they're saying.
I think that the reason he didn't come up immediately to turn himself in was the Secret Service wanted time.
Is that accurate?
Do you know?
No, it's not accurate whatsoever.
It's nonsense.
It's Anderson Cooper, the grandeur, the grandiosity, the magnificent, the pushing shot from on high.
The grammar of the news at this time, the armed guards, everything.
Whether you are a pro-Trump person or an anti-Trump person... Well, they're all pro-Trump in this case.
The media make a lot of money out of this.
Their ratings are going through the roof, exactly as when he was president.
They're making a lot of money.
Whoever purports to not like Trump, they are making a significant amount of money.
In a sense it's just like an aesthetic choice whether to be pro or anti-Trump.
Ultimately the aim is the same.
What is this on?
This is ABC.
Let's hear a bit of ABC's audio and ideally we'd leave their audio live and still be able to hear mine as discussed earlier.
...to be in attendance there tonight and we will be waiting to see what other GOP lawmakers, what other high-profile GOP officials come here to Mar-a-Lago to back the former president in this historic moment as he is both a presidential candidate... We're continually being told that it's historic.
That's what they're doubling down on.
I suppose, if you could turn the audio down a little bit, we're like continually legitimizing the events themselves and the coverage itself.
And the coverage of it, yeah.
Yeah, so now kill the audio for me.
It's like, this is literally, kill the audio if you don't mind.
Thanks.
This is like literally Baudrillard's analysis.
There will be no Gulf War.
There was no Gulf War.
There wasn't a Gulf War.
In a sense, this is just taking place at the level of the media spectacle.
This is the way that it is functioning.
Do you know what I want to look at now, as a matter of fact, is that while this is happening, you may have missed the The story the other day about the Wall Street Journal reporter being arrested, Evan Gerskovich.
Evan Gerskovich.
Do we have the footage of Corinne Jean-Pierre talking about it?
Let's have a look.
Last night, senior White House officials spoke directly with Mr. Gersovich's employer, The Wall Street Journal.
The State Department has also been in touch with The Wall Street Journal and his family on this matter.
This espionage charges are ridiculous.
The targeting of American citizens by Russian government is unacceptable.
We condemn the detention of Mr. Gershkovich in the strongest—in the strongest terms.
We also condemn the Russian government's continued targeting and repression of journalists.
Legal-eyed civilians, who haven't been bludgeoned into near-unconsciousness by a system that wants you dumb and near-damned, will have observed that many of the things said about even Gurkhasvich could be said of Julian Assange.
Let's break them down.
These espionage charges are ridiculous.
Julian Assange was indicted on 17 counts of violating the Espionage Act.
The targeting of American citizens by the Russian government is unacceptable.
Assange is an Australian citizen.
He's not resided in the U.S.
yet he's being extradited to the United States to face trial.
We condemn the detention of Mr. Gershkovich.
Assange has been detained in Belmarsh prison without trial since 2021.
We also condemn the Russian government's continuing target Targeting and repression of journalists.
As well as Assange, the US government has targeted Pentagon Papers journalist Daniel Ellsberg under the Espionage Act.
So while we're all caught up in the carnival of Trump, and what a carnival it is, I couldn't be more sympathetic to those of you that believe that with his anti-establishment rhetoric, Trump has correctly identified the problem.
Career politicians, corrupted by financial interests, a system that will never respond to democratic needs, a media that only reports on whatever half of the story it's invested in, and neither of those halves cover the deeper reality that systemic corruption will never allow itself to be influenced by a little thing like democracy, by your requirements, by your will, by your reality.
They live in rarefied and rarefied air up there.
inaccessible to you, inaccessible to democracy.
So whether you're watching this on CNN, where Trump's like the worst person in history,
or you're watching it on Fox, or, you know, here on Rumble, where Trump is celebrated
as a peripheral anti-hero, as a muse in orator, still the fact remains that the system isn't
shifting and altering.
Now I know that those of you that love Trump point to some of his brilliant rhetorical flourishes.
Did you see in his speech the other day when he was talking about, when he was responding to these charges, the particular bit that I would love to see, so if you could find that part of the clip.
Is when he talks about, you know, like when even eliciting campaign donations, he says, like, you know, if you're a poor person or you're struggling because of Biden's government, I don't want your money.
You keep your money.
You're going to need it.
If you're a wealthy person, though, which you are because of me and my brilliant decisions, then you should send a little bit of money.
And I think he's had like sort of millions and millions of dollars.
Seven million.
$11 million. This is good for business for Donald Trump.
This is good for business for CNN.
This is good for business for everyone that's not interested in real change. Again,
we're not talking about whether Trump is an effective politician or not. You can decide that and we can indeed
look at what went on during Trump's presidency, you know, the successes and the
failings, the areas where he appeared to be administrated on behalf of the elites, the decisions he
made that certainly I would say observably better than like the Biden administration,
who as you know, if you're a regular viewer of Stay Free, we think are stooges.
Stooges of globalist corporate elites.
Let's have a look at this bit of Trump.
If you're doing poorly because of Biden's disastrous policies, don't even think about making a contribution to our campaign.
You and your family always come first.
Our movement is about making your life better and putting you first.
So I don't want you to incur any financial costs that you can't afford.
But if you're doing well because all of the things that I've done have brought you wealth and prosperity, or at least you're extremely comfortable, You're extremely clever.
What I love about Trump is the ad libs.
His willingness to pursue tangential, ancillary and discursive thoughts.
That is the kind of populist rhetoric that reaches people.
It's his ability to communicate like that and to, from an anti-establishment platform, make points that cannot be addressed by mainstream systemic opposition.
That is why I'm very excited to talk to presidential candidate, or at least she's standing for the presidency or the leadership of the Democratic Party, Marianne Williamson.
Marianne and I have met several times.
She's a fantastic author.
She was a presidential candidate last time around.
She's a presidential candidate once more.
And Marianne, it's so lovely to see you.
Thanks for joining us.
All the way in the room.
Marianne, I hate to say this to you as a potential president, but possibly Zoom is muted, or someone in your room could help us out.
Otherwise, I'm going to have to do my best to interpret.
I think what Marianne would say is, I should be President of the United States of America, whereas you, Russell... Sorry, sorry, I'm here.
I'm here.
I can hear you.
I'm so sorry.
Marianne, my first question, there's no problem at all.
These things happen all the time.
What I wanted to say is that last time round, I think where you were particularly effective was recognising that the Democrats were not addressing the kind of psychic charge and potency of Donald Trump because they essentially are tied to the same corporate interests that have undergirded mainstream politics for a long time.
Why do you think that Trump is once more at the forefront of the news cycle?
What does that tell us about the failings of the Democratic Party?
And what does it tell us about the political landscape more broadly?
That Trump continues to dominate, supported essentially by both sides, particularly from a media perspective, because they are all he talks about.
And how are you going to penetrate that space and give people hope that there's an alternative to Donald Trump, acknowledging that the reason that Donald Trump is so successful and effective is because of the centralised corruption that I'm sure that you would oppose also?
Yeah, I don't disagree with your analysis.
So, this is the deal.
Many people thought that if we could only defeat Trump in 2020, that the problems would be over.
And we now realize that it was more like a tumor that had already metastasized.
There's this plague of hatred.
So many of the darkest aspects of American consciousness that were harnessed by him for political purposes had already metastasized, and they have not gone away.
But we have to go back to what made this country so vulnerable to him to begin with.
And that has to do with the fact that, as Franklin Roosevelt said, we don't have to worry about a fascist takeover as long as democracy delivers on its blessings.
This country should never have been so vulnerable to a man like Donald Trump.
We were so vulnerable in large part because democracy had not.
If democracy was delivering on its blessings, then the average American would have the same things that the average European and every other advanced European nation has, such as universal health care, such as a guaranteed livable wage, such as easy access to a higher education, such as free child care, such as So, our immune system was so weakened because of this corruption—neoliberalism, trickle-down economics, whatever you want to call it.
When you have 80 percent of people in a country who are living—60 percent living paycheck to paycheck, 80 percent of Americans living with chronic economic struggle, then that forms a kind of Petri dish, out of which all manner of personal and societal dysfunction is inevitable, whether it's Donald Trump or anyone else.
Now, since this last election, and I'm very glad that he was defeated in 2020, but we have not provided the massive infusion of economic hope and opportunity to the American people that will guarantee that we will not be vulnerable to him in 2024.
And that's why an agenda that does not just present an alleviation of economic
stress, but which actually proposes an economic U-turn in this country, actually proposes
fundamental economic reform, is not only the way to beat him in 24, but it's also the way to
repair this country.
A lot of people watching this right now will think that Donald Trump is absolutely fantastic,
that Donald Trump is the solution, that Donald Trump wants to drain the swamp, that Donald
Trump speaks for them.
You know that Donald Trump's success was significantly built on blue-collar votes, that he experienced Great success in poor communities.
A lot of people watching this right now, I know, will not want to hear Donald Trump attacked.
What I try to offer here is the opportunity to address the conditions that are not being addressed by either side.
That Biden promised to rein in Big Pharma, then offered a mealy-mouthed compromised bill that will not meaningfully impact the
pharmaceutical industry at all. That no one is talking about a peace deal
between Ukraine and Russia and in fact it's apparent that that process was
possibly interrupted. What I feel like even, and as a person that
lives in Europe, things ain't so great here either.
We similarly toil under centralised government that appear to operate on behalf of corporate interests rather than the people that put them into power.
Sure, we might have some comparative compromises and some little pieces of welfare here or there that you might think were a reflection of a more enlightened governmental perspective, but it's the same deal basically.
Corporate interests set the deal.
We basically think politicians are corrupt.
They've got second jobs, they own shares in this or that, they're connected to hedge funds.
And Marianne, what I think is required is a kind of radicalism in the political conversation, a kind of boldness of vision, that now we've seen that, you know, like, you know, we can certainly assess what Trump did in office and the failings and where he plainly administered on behalf of economic elites, but we have to accept that Since then, Biden said to his donors, as you are obviously aware, you've got nothing to worry about with me in office.
You know that he's funded by Big Tech, Wall Street, Big Pharma, or at least the Democrat Party largely are.
So how, from within this system, do you ever make significant changes?
What is your agenda that would appeal to people that would happily vote for Donald Trump because of his anti-establishment stance?
Well, in 2016, Donald Trump said to the American people, your rage is legitimate.
And he was correct.
And that's the same thing that Bernie Sanders said.
Both of them told the American people, your pain is valid, your anger about it, you are living at the effect of a rigged economic system.
The difference is that Donald Trump was saying it because he was master of the art of the deal.
He knew it's what people wanted to hear.
Bernie Sanders actually meant it.
So many—yes, he spoke to people, as did Bernie, but once he got into office, I think a lot of those people have seen how conned they were by the things that he said.
There is a radicalism—a radicalism the way that Franklin Roosevelt said.
He said, I feel we must become fairly radical for a generation.
You're right.
In my country, it would be considered a radical Americanism, that it would be a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, rather than a government of the corporations, by the corporations, and for the corporations.
Now, I'm concerned, as you are, that the Democratic Party is trying to have it both ways.
The Democratic Party sees people—and I don't want to say the Democratic Party—the Democratic establishment elite sees the pain and wants to address it on the periphery, but they, no more than the Republicans sometimes, are willing to challenge the underlying corporate forces that make the return of that pain always inevitable.
To that extent, I am the candidate who is saying much of what you're saying, and it's also why the Democratic corporate elite does not want it.
Now, this is the deal.
When you ask, how are you going to break through?
History has never been made by people who say that it can't be done.
You know, I look at it a lot like the Berlin Wall.
If you ask, well, what made the Berlin Wall fall?
Well, if you look at it on the outside, somebody made a phone call to somebody else that was misunderstood, and then they called the gate, and then they opened the gate.
But that's not what really made the Berlin Wall fall.
What really made is just the thousands and thousands and thousands of efforts made.
You just keep pushing.
You know, I saw somebody on television the other day talking about how we're going to bring down an unjust system, the economic and political system that you're talking about.
And he said, somebody is going to break through.
We don't have time to think about, well, would this person do it?
Would that do it?
All of it's going to do it.
Every conversation, every podcast, every labor effort, every election of a progressive, you just keep pushing, you just keep pushing.
To me, if we go into cynicism, if we go into, no, it can't be done, that's acquiescing to the system.
And I think we just need to keep pushing and I believe with all my heart somebody is going to push a breakthrough and what point of breakthrough it's going to be is not what's as relevant as the fact that all of us just need to keep pushing and whatever we can way we can and supporting other people who are doing it too.
I agree with you, and I'm excited by you as a candidate, as you know, because of your spiritual beliefs and credentials and your optimism and your credentials as a teacher, Marianne.
We spoke to Brianna Joy Gray yesterday, who was prominent in Bernie's campaigning.
And you know, you know, and I know that Bernie fell fail of where he was stiffed by rigged systems within the Democrat party, the elite that you described.
And Bernie, of course, was a longstanding independent candidate before aligning with the Democrats.
Do you not think that the sort of popular support being garnered by people Like whether it's the Tea Party Libertarian Right, perhaps in the great form of Donald Trump, or figures like Bernie with his kind of populist support.
These are ultimately independent style candidates that are sort of operating within the party system.
Do you not think that there might be a future for a sort of a confederacy or alliance at least, if that's an incendiary word, of independent candidates challenging systemic corruption that can incorporate both The traditional values typically enshrined by the Republican right, and the progressive values, shall we call them, that are seen within the social justice movement.
Because I feel like, you know, I am optimistic, but I feel that new alliances, tolerance, open-heartedness, are going to have to be embraced if we are going to confront the sort of entrenching, systemic corporate interests that seem very difficult to shift or alter, no matter who is in office.
Well, I think that what you're describing is possible, but it hasn't happened yet.
So at this moment, we have to go with what is and every person has to go with where they feel they can help the breakthrough happen in the circumstances that now exist.
I think you're right, thanks Marianne.
What about, in the world of mental health, Big Pharma requires that 40 million Americans stay on antidepressants, 4 in 10 lobbying dollars go to healthcare or food interests and it seems that there's some corollary between those two things.
How can you disrupt a system with so much financial investment in it and with so much systemic support?
Well, it shouldn't be a fringe or radical thing to point out that Americans appear to be overmedicated.
And yet I know from my campaign last time, boy, you get anywhere near anything like that.
And that's when they come after you.
And I know they came after me last time.
They've already come after me this time.
What we have is a matrix, a corporate matrix.
That's why it's often called a corporatocracy.
Basically, it's a reversion to an aristocratic system.
It's insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, big food, big agriculture, big chemical companies, gun manufacturers, big oil and defense contractors.
And as long as we have profit-based healthcare system, as long as we have a profit-based, basically, journalism in this country, as long as we have profit-based foreign policy, then this situation is going to be Sitting on top of us, they have a grip.
They are holding the U.S.
government hostage, and our government, therefore, is more of a system of legalized bribery.
But you have to call them on it everywhere you can, including Big Pharma, and the ultimate answer, the ultimate victory is going to be when enough people wake up and realize how systemically disinformed we are.
We are mentally trained to Expect too little?
We are mentally trained, and Big Pharma is a perfect example.
Most people who are listening right now, if they live in the United States, know somebody, if they're not already somebody, rationing their insulin, going to Mexico or going to Canada to get their insulin.
Stop it with thinking these people always have your best interests at heart.
Obviously, there are things done by big pharmaceutical companies that all of us are grateful for, but they are predatory in too many cases, creating profit centers, as we know they did with the opioid crisis.
And we should not be so naive as to think they're not doing with any other area.
Thank you, Marianne.
If you're watching us on YouTube right now, we're going to go exclusively live onto Rumble while I ask Marianne, if she has the grace to allow it, to answer one more question on war and whether or not now the Democrat Party are officially the party of war, co-opted by military-industrial-complex interests.
I'm not going to ask Marianne that on YouTube with all the incumbent risks.
That's a question I can only ask in this free speech domain that is Rumble.
Click the link in the description.
And join us there.
Marianne, what do you feel about the Democrat Party's stance on war?
What do you think when Bernie Sanders votes with the party on funding ongoing wars?
What's your personal approach?
Well, when it comes to our $858 billion defence budget, both parties are equally bought by these companies.
Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Boeing and so forth.
They don't care if you're a Republican or a Democrat.
They're going to make sure that they donate to your campaigns so they have you in their
pocket.
And so it's not about is it the Republicans or is it the Democrats.
It's clearly undue influence by the military-industrial complex on our foreign policy.
Marianne, thank you so much for joining us.
It's fantastic to see you again.
You can follow Marianne's work and campaign by going to marianne2024.com.
I suggest you do that to inform yourself about the possibilities of a radical candidate from the Democrat Party.
Marianne, thanks for joining us today.
Always great to see you.
It's lovely to have your time.
Thank you very much.
Hey, should we check out what the mainstream media is saying right now about Donald Trump?
During the time we've been talking to Marianne Williamson, he might have moved about a bit.
He could have gone somewhere.
He might have had a McDonald's.
Did he supersize it?
What are they saying over here on ABC?
Let's get a little bit of the audio.
for the former president, I wonder if there will be other Republicans that are
more willing to come and speak out about the direction of the Republican Party.
Does the Republican Party want to use all of its political capital to defend a
former President Trump, or does the Republican Party want to utilize its
political capital to push its own agenda, to speak about its vision for the
country as we approach 2024?
And Jeff, what's your take on the juxtaposition here?
Politically, Chuck seems to do very well when he is loud and proud.
When he talks, he likes big rhetoric.
He likes drama.
But normally, when you are advising a defendant, you advise them to keep quiet.
I'm guessing that's not going to happen here.
Let's pause the audio for a moment.
I would just say that's not a juxtaposition, that's a contradiction or a potential conflict and it seems like a lot of the focus is about who's going to show up.
This is actually just spectacle and fanfare, although I will say that right now there's a guy with really great hair walking along like he looks like Thor, Thor in a suit.
You know like when in the Marvel movies when Thor For some reason or another I have to pretend he's not.
He knows he's on television.
Look at him looking at that phone right now.
He's doing that for attention.
I bet he's not even got any business in that neighbourhood outside Trump Tower.
He looks absolutely wonderful, doesn't he?
I love that guy.
Why can't life be more like him?
Just a handsome blonde man strolling down a street outside a Trump Tower.
The world's become so suddenly complicated.
Again, it just seems like, I suppose, sports coverage, like as you said yesterday, like the coverage of a royal wedding.
It's become kind of absurd.
I know loads of you will think it's incendiary that this is happening at all, that it's a political trial.
That Trump is being martyred.
But what I reckon we can use this to diagnose accurately is the sort of unconscious corruption of our media systems that are just willing to talk about it inanely.
Yeah, also like a story we were talking about earlier that we'll be doing a video on later in the week about Wall Street buying up 40% of single-family homes in the US.
It's kind of amazing in the city where, you know, Trump Tower is and all of this going on at the moment, all the hullabaloo and all the press, That the same kind of thing, the kind of corrupt business which is buying up essentially almost half of American households can be going on and yet that's just under the radar.
No one's really talking about it.
Whereas this, the amount of attention, you know that's where the media attention should be going on.
People can't afford housing anymore in the United States.
Later in the week, as Gareth points out, we'll be doing a thorough presentation on the gradual march of the financial industry into the real estate sector.
They're buying up.
By 2030, 40% of homes could be owned by financial interests, i.e.
the Great Reset.
You will own nothing and you will be happy.
Well, you won't be that happy because they're really hiking up rents, actually.
You will own nothing and you're going to be quite... Extortionate rents.
You're going to be paying extortionate rent.
Perhaps you like paying extortionate rent.
Maybe you feel comforted, like, oh, this must be a nicer house than I think it is.
The rent is so extortionate.
But this is what is significant, if you ask me, is while we are absorbed by the compelling spectacle of Trump's arrest, its illegitimacy, the hyperbole around it, the glorious Nordic god Wandering outside in a suit with a flowing golden mane.
We're not talking about ongoing financial corruption.
We're not talking about the military-industrial complex's ability to engineer ongoing war.
I'm not talking about the current Russia-Ukraine conflict.
I'm sure that's a humanitarian aid effort.
But the ongoing campaigns in the Middle East, the fact that there's always been a war in America for the last, I don't know, 50, 60 years.
Always someone's getting bombed.
Can it be a coincidence that they're one of the most powerful interests in the country?
But fortunately, Thankfully, there is a candidate that's gonna do something.
Have you heard?
Yeah.
Hillary's running!
It's so exciting!
Hillary's running!
Here's the news.
No, here's the effing news.
Thank you for choosing Fox News.
The news.
No, here's the fucking news.
Did you hear?
Hillary's running again!
I'll tell you who'll never run again!
Children in Somalia, Pakistan and the Yemen and other territories bombed and droned in wars that she has sanctioned.
Today we have a fantastic story for you.
Hillary Clinton is going to be teaching at Columbia University or something like that and they are promoting this new business venture piece of propaganda with a delightful youth-oriented piece of content that when you watch it ...is appalling, derisory, insulting, excludes many of the most important things about Hillary Clinton and therefore becomes a kind of living symbol of the problems of the way we present information and appreciate reality today.
We exclude vital and valuable data when appraising reality.
To put it into the language of the campaign itself, it says Hillary Clinton will join Columbia University as a professor and a presidential fellow in global affairs.
One of the things that offends me most, and I'm sure will offend you too, is the patronising and insulting tone of the propaganda that promotes this initiative.
Get ready to cringe yourself into another dimension.
Oh my god.
What is it?
It's Hillary Clinton, she's running.
What?
Not much happened yet, and I'm already offended.
I'm offended by the scenario.
I'm offended by the easy casualness of the setup.
I'm offended by the enthusiasm, the vacuity, the obvious motivation of the entire piece, the mimicking of casual performance and behaviour.
In a way it's the same offence I feel when I hear Joe Biden talking about his family connection to cancer while simultaneously doing nothing to prevent pharmaceutical companies overcharging people suffering from cancer.
It's that the rhetoric and the reality we're presented with has nothing to do with the experience of reality nor the kind of decisions that these people actually make when they are in a position to implement policy and change legislation.
This isn't like the casual hypocrisies that all of us are guilty of in life.
We know we could do better.
We're trying our hardest and yet we still fail.
We're talking about participating in systemic corruption and hypocrisy.
War, the death of children.
By my evaluation, these are the very worst of crimes that a human being can participate in.
Who knows how many children have been droned?
Who knows what the accumulative results of policies that Clinton has participated in are.
When you watch this, you're invited to think of Hillary Clinton as nothing more than a woman who has fought against the odds in a patriarchal, misogynistic world.
And that's sort of part of the truth, but it's such a sort of small part of the truth that has to be negligible and irrelevant, and to promote it in this way is propagandist.
What?
Hillary's running again?
I know, I heard that so crazy!
When you say what, could you put your hand up to your head as if Hillary Clinton running again is something that's gonna make a positive impact on your life and is something you care about?
What?
What?
No, do it as if you're actually connected to it.
Do it as if, like, the things that you do are connected to the things that you mean.
But I thought this was about Hillary Clinton, and having a connection between what you say and what you do is irrelevant.
Stick with your performance.
This is wild.
She's running again.
Then of course there's the little run itself where we're subject to the sight of Hillary Clinton's little kicky boots running down a corridor and we're meant to be excited by this, we're meant to be encouraged by this.
Is it meant to be gently amusing?
Is it meant to be whimsical?
Is it meant to be the framing of Hillary Clinton as an elder states person of a neoliberal establishment that we're supposed to revere and adore?
That we're supposed to look at Hillary Clinton and George W Bush and Tony Blair, all people who by some folks reckoning are actually actual war criminals in the same way that Vladimir Putin is.
And as you know, the American government couldn't provide the ICC with information about
Vladimir Putin's war crimes because it would indict them of the same war crimes. Even though
Vladimir Putin and Russia's list of war crimes in Ukraine are long and frankly appalling to
read, the problem is, the bigger problem is that America are guilty of all of those war
crimes as well.
And politicians like Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton and Barack Obama and George W. Bush and Tony Blair, while they present themselves as friendly, affable and amenable PR-friendly characters, they actually participate in systemic violence and war and corruption to such a degree that that's how they should be evaluated, as symbols of death and criminality.
Sorry, you're running again.
Well, I sure am, Karen.
I just got here early for the new class we're teaching together on foreign policy decision-making.
In case you thought that no more irony could be laid upon this issue, the subject that Hillary Clinton's going to be talking about is foreign policy-making.
Now, this is an area where Hillary Clinton has been particularly effective.
If the results you crave are dead people, dead children, sales of arms to corrupt regimes, facilitating the military-industrial complex's ability to lobby for unnecessary conflict.
The reason that this is a fascinating piece of content rather than an innocuous piece of PR is because the reality we're invited to participate in is so distinct and discreet from the reality that most people live in, and some people have suffered directly as a result of, that it's actually laughable.
Classes don't start until September.
Yeah, but I wanted to be prepared, Karen.
You know, when it comes to crisis situations, you've always got to be prepared.
Prepared?
I think you're more prepared than anyone to teach this course.
I feel like it's our obligation, do you, to point out that what this is is a veneer laying upon a rather unpleasant reality, and that this is the level of critical theory that ought to be applied to artifacts that Seek to rehabilitate, not even rehabilitate, because never has Hillary Clinton been meaningfully evaluated.
The only thing you really hear about Hillary Clinton are, I would say, reflexive and somewhat misogynistic damning of her in some places, and then the sort of unnecessary celebration and reification of her as if she's a sort of a symbol of progress in some way.
The fact is, is that the type of symbols of progress that are a form ...are the types of symbols of progress that do not interrupt systemic corruption.
And that corruption is not just financial, it's genocidal.
And I'll cover what it was actually like in the room during the Bin Laden raid, the Iran sanctions, the Gaza ceasefire, you name it.
Okay, but are you ready for whatever questions the students throw at you?
Bring it on!
Miss!
Miss!
I've got a question!
As a supporter of the war in Iraq, what were some of your main achievements?
Would you say, was it the ongoing escalating wars, greenlighting coups, and generally maintaining and expanding US power around the globe?
Were you particularly pleased when ISIS came into being?
Would you say that you were generally more or less militarily aggressive than your Republican counterparts?
On most foreign policy decisions, including Libya, Clinton was in favour of equally aggressive action, if not more aggressive action, than former Bush appointee Robert Gates.
If Hillary Clinton's still in the class, not darting down the corridor in her kicky boots, here's another inquiry.
How did you package your hawkish policies publicly?
Clinton and Obama got away with hawkish policies because they stuck to the language of humanitarian intervention and liberation.
Clinton helped assert the right of the US government to intervene in any country of its choosing using the most brutal means possible to achieve its ends.
So, having a child yourself, what was your policy on drones?
The answer, of course, is Clinton was an enthusiastic supporter of Obama's decision to step up the use of drone warfare in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia.
Clinton and the Obama administration sold the drone program as a precise and effective way to target terrorists with fewer risks of collateral damage.
However, during one five-month period of an operation, 90% of the people killed in airstrikes were not the intended target.
I suppose that this isn't, at this point, a personal attack on Hillary Clinton, rather a critique on the aesthetic of neoliberalism as presenting us with these human artefacts of progression, like Barack Obama and the success that a non-white president should represent, or Hillary Clinton's rise as a female in a traditionally male space.
These Ciphers are used to mask the fact that for many people things are getting a lot worse.
That brutality and violence continue to be the tools of global oppression and of domestic repression.
And the issue of drones and droning is a significant one because we are sold the idea that drones are bespoke and particular and frictionless weapons of death that are only ever used against terrorists.
It's simply not true.
It shows you that the reality we're presented with is nothing like the reality that we live within.
So, while on one hand, this is an innocuous piece of propaganda for what I'm sure is a delightful Ivy League school, it is also one of the tools of ongoing propaganda that prevent us appraising reality correctly.
Hillary!
Woo!
Before you go, what was your relationship with the military-industrial complex?
As Secretary of State, Clinton made it her business to make sure the world was open for US business.
From securing defence contracts for Lockheed Martin to brokering deals to build nuclear power plants for Westinghouse, Clinton and her ambassador CEOs travelled the globe to bring foreign governments and US companies together.
We have to position ourselves to lead in a world where security is shaped in boardrooms and on trading floors as well as on battlefields, Clinton said.
Hillary, one last question though before you wear through those delightful little Cuban heels.
Surely you didn't take donations from military contractors though?
American military contractors and their affiliates who donated to the Clinton Foundation were awarded some $163 billion worth of armed deals authorised by the Clinton State Department.
And governments seeking to buy arms got the same preferential treatment if they sent money the foundation's way, no matter what their human rights record.
Clinton's department authorized 151 billion dollars in Pentagon broker deals for 16 of the countries that gave to the Clinton Foundation.
While this is a video that presents Hillary Clinton as an affable, progressive voice of feminism and the progress of our culture, In a way, Hillary represents another set of values entirely.
The ability of the military-industrial complex to provoke and participate in sometimes illegal foreign activity, the masking of the facts, the concealing of the consequences of American foreign policy, and a type of politics really that if we continue to pursue, as evidently we will be doing because another generation are being trained to think in exactly the same way, could bring us to the precipice and indeed the inaction of global Armageddon.
Much of our focus has been upon the lessons that we are not learning, the lessons of the crimes committed on behalf of the neoliberal establishment of which Hillary Clinton is undoubtedly a key figure.
But look at the false and erroneous lessons that are simultaneously being taught.
In addition to teaching, she's literally teaching, Clinton will collaborate with senior faculty on global policy initiatives and ways to boost effective engagement with young people and women.
That means these ideas are being perpetuated.
These ideas and this mentality isn't going to change any time soon.
It's not like, in spite of all the crises that we're continually discussing in the world, that this is a point of revision, some kind of reckoning.
It's business as usual.
Another generation of people will be sent out into the world, from an Ivy League school, into the kind of institutions where often these people end up working, perpetuating the same kind of ideas, the same kind of mentality, so that the machine keeps on turning.
There is no reckoning.
There's no point where people are saying, Jerry Walsh, should we do things differently now?
Should we start being authentic?
Should we start looking realistically at what the consequences of some of the decisions we've made in the past are?
It's a perpetuation of all of the ideas that Hillary Clinton stands for, rather than just the rehabilitation of a figure that ought to be, in my view, evaluated very differently.
Now if you'll excuse me, Karen, I've gotta run.
Where's she going now?
Hopefully to Yemen with a letter of apology.
Also, Hillary Clinton, in addition to teaching at Columbia University, still very much participates in the ongoing geopolitical conversation.
Here are some of her thoughts on Ukraine.
The Ukrainian war has been one thing that's brought Democrats and Republicans together for the most part.
It is a war for our values.
But we're not doing it just because it's the right thing to do, although it is.
We're doing it because we have to draw this line and make it very clear that in 2023, this kind of aggression cannot stand.
Because the rhetoric has become so divorced from reality that you almost cannot take it seriously.
Hillary Clinton still participates in the conversation around global politics in ways that I consider to be irresponsible.
How can you not advocate for diplomacy and peace?
How can you not acknowledge that you have deep, intrinsic, and financially beneficial relationships with the military-industrial complex while being on, oh look, MSNBC, advocating for ongoing war?
to what's happening in Ukraine and all these things we talk about growing up that we learn
to do. Suddenly the Ukrainians are fighting for what we've always said we were supposed to stand
for. How inspiring is that to you? It's so inspiring to me.
This is like a person who said it's time for the United States to start thinking of Iraq
as a business opportunity. At worst Hillary Clinton should on Morning Joe be saying listen I know in
the past I said crazy stuff like Iraq should be viewed as a business opportunity.
I know I've participated in the droning of loads of Middle Eastern countries.
I know that the Clinton Foundation accepts money from the military-industrial complex.
But aside from all that, I actually have got quite strong views on how brave Ukrainian people are.
I think Ukrainian people are brave.
I think it's terrible that they're being bombed.
I think Russia's actions are appalling.
I also think that Hillary Clinton shouldn't be allowed in this conversation.
We have to continue, and I would even argue, increase the military support that we give to the Ukrainian student.
Does that include... Yeah, increase it, actually.
Why don't we kill some more people and make some more money?
And if those two things align, all the better.
F-16s?
Well, it includes air cover, it includes long-range missiles.
What about when she was running down that corridor and everyone was laughing?
I'm running.
Where are you running?
I'm running to advocate for long-range missiles to bomb Russian people.
And again, I know what the counter-argument is.
Oh, I think Putin's just going to roll over.
Listen, there was a peace deal on the table.
That's been revealed.
Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of the UK, disrupted it.
I'm afraid that while I'm not cynical about humanity in general, I am cynical about the neoliberal establishment, its appointed elders and the ongoing attempts to present them as sort of like benevolent maiden aunts of the war machine.
There she was, selling war.
The quote, it's time for the United States to start thinking of Iraq as a business opportunity,
was included in an email released by the State Department that specifically mentioned JPMorgan
and ExxonMobil.
JPMorgan was selected by the US government to run a key import-export bank in Iraq and
in 2013 announced plans to expand its operations in the country.
ExxonMobil signed a deal to redevelop Iraqi oil fields.
JPMorgan has collectively paid the Clintons and the Clinton Foundation at least $450,000
for speeches and ExxonMobil has donated over $1 million to the family's foundation.
In a sense, there is no point condemning Hillary Clinton on the level of humanity, on the level
of the individual.
She is a product of her time and the institutions through which she has passed, as surely as we all are in one way or another.
But we do have an obligation to critique and identify propaganda when we see it.
The attempt to instantiate a class of elders that continue to advocate for war and present it as some sort of progressive and inclusive agenda It's not progressive for Somalian children.
It's not progressive for the people of Iraq.
It's not progressive for the Yemeni people affected by the kind of deals that Hillary Clinton has participated in.
And I don't think it's progressive even for the young people being educated at Columbia because they're being sold a lie that's destroying the world that they live in.
No one benefits from this except possibly Hillary Clinton.
But that's just what I think.
Let me know what you think in the comments in the chat.
I'll see you in a second.
Thanks for choosing Fox News.
I hope so much.
No, he's the fucking loser!
Woke Enough says, Her voice evokes strange feelings in me.
Whereas Trumper Mike, along with a $17 tip, I think,
candidate Trump.
says, Marianne Williamson, I hope you'll give equal time to
Equal time?
We're giving all our time to candidate Trump.
We're going live now to see him drive in through Manhattan to see what they're saying on ABC in the mainstream.
Maybe not now, maybe not in a month from now, but down the road.
We've got two audio feeds coming into this room at the moment.
...and speak to those cameras that are there in lower Manhattan.
He is somebody who, in many ways, as we know, covering him when he was in the White House,
liked to stop and talk with cameras on the South Lawn, for example, when he saw them.
So that's something else...
And the cameras will be permitted in the hallway, we should note.
I also want to talk to the panel here...
Let's go to the one that's saying go to the panel.
That sounds more interesting anyway.
Is that NBC?
Go NBC!
Very unfair!
NBC go NBC very unfair 1% Republican this case should be moved to nearby Staten
Island he writes would be very fair and secure location for the trial additionally
the highly partisan judge and his he still writes all caps then huh
this is gonna be very good for truth social this whole trial
to the judge asking for him to be quiet I talked to a bunch of former federal
prosecutors who have appeared in front of judge Marchand who will be presiding
over this and they said look he runs a tight ship he doesn't stand for any
nonsense he's fair F
Let's kill the audio in here.
Again, I suppose the best way to look at this, I think, is from the perspective of media analysis and new and emergent grammar around the overhead shot and to continue to contrast this with what stories aren't told.
As Gareth brought up earlier, the Blackstone acquisition of real estate that will mean
that the WEF vision of you will own nothing and be happy comes closer to reality.
No one is talking about Julian Assange even when they're condemning Russia for their treatment
of journalists.
It's extraordinary.
We're living in a peculiar type of hyper-reality, I suppose, where the minutiae of Donald Trump's
trial, look at that.
Yes, he's doing a Black Power salute as he's leaving Trump Tower.
A Black Power salute.
Those of you that properly love Trump, I recognize why you do and I actually respect why you
do because his anti-establishment rhetoric is sublime and his ability to deal with people
on the fly is amusing and fantastic.
Really the only question that we're offering you is, do you think that he has the intention wherewithal
and ability to make systemic change, and how does that tally with his time in office?
And if you say, well, he was unable to implement the kind of changes he would like to see made,
now the argument must immediately shift then to systemic changes required in order
that even your favoured candidate, Donald Trump, could be successful.
So in a way, I say it is incumbent upon us to develop new tools of analysis so that,
delicious though this kind of gato of imagery is, we don't get seduced into the sugary nothingness
of this incredible spectacle.
But just on the off chance that it is incredible and groundbreaking, and by God, I'm going to want to see the moment when he arrives.
He's getting near crash barriers, isn't he?
You know, we actually... Do you know who we've got?
Like, we're like proper news now.
From NewsNation, joining us is Robert Sherman.
Now, we won't be able to simultaneously look at NBC's feed that we're stealing and Robert Sherman's little face.
Alright, Robert.
Now, but we... And also, Robert is literally talking to us on a camera from the scene, so it's quite possible that Robert will be in and out of signal.
He's dropped out.
Do you know what he's doing?
He'll be reporting on it.
I think he's getting quite close to the courthouse.
I mean, Trump.
We'll try Robert Sherman from the mainstream media again in a minute.
He's arriving!
Let's hear the Aldo in here!
No wonder we can't get Sherman on the phone.
He's busy!
A number of people can see the motorcade.
The protesters who are gathered in that park that I mentioned near the courthouse are somewhat offset.
So, right now, it's a bit somber and silent here.
It's a bit somber and silent.
Here he is, he's out!
You wave to a few people.
Here he is, he's out!
You wave to a few people, you wave, you wave, you get nothing.
He doesn't look somber to me.
Actually, this gives off quite a nice vibe down at the courthouse.
They should have, I think, coordinated the building work to have been over by the time... This scaffold being there... It's not working, is it?
That's a visual disruption that you don't need.
That's all we get.
That's it, he's in there now.
I'm not sucked in, says Little Renegade on the chat.
Yeah, I mean, ultimately, what were you... I mean, if you kill the audio in here for a moment, like, what were we anticipating?
It is just going to be, like, we've allowed them to seduce us into idiocy, thinking that I was actually quite excited to see him myself.
Like, oh, he's arrived.
I mean, because all of the anticipation around it makes it Oh, look, I feel like I'm a rat in a maze.
I've just been trained to appreciate particular visions as if it somehow personally affects me.
The outcome of this trial will not affect me and I don't imagine anybody as much as, for example, Blackstone buying up all that property, Assange being able to be imprisoned without trial.
The ability to control the information we get access to and the ability to purchase our homes is going to have a bigger effect.
And look, what happens in the process?
They're going to read his Miranda rights.
No mugshots, no handcuffs.
They've worked out that the mugshots are just going to be such a t-shirt seller.
They're not giving him the merchandise opportunity, are they, mate?
No.
I mean, once again, coming back to my point earlier on about the media benefiting from this, it is amazing, you know, especially your appearance on Bill Maher and the incident with the MSNBC guy.
The idea that they've got any kind of morals around all this stuff when they're just showing this wall-to-wall.
If they truly had morals and MSNBC believed that Trump was so awful, they'd say as a stance, we're not showing this then.
We're not becoming part of the media circus around this because we believe in certain things that Donald Trump doesn't stand for.
But we know that this is wall-to-wall coverage.
They're making tons in advertising.
Their ratings are going up.
It benefits them in huge ways.
I think your choice of preferred media outlet might be as significant as your choice between Pepsi and Coke.
It might be that significant.
How dare you!
Pepsi is a much finer drink!
I'll kill you!
Coca-Cola is British!
And even the political parties, ultimately, because when you said that, I could sort of mentally envisage all of the figures that they look at in their quarterly reports.
Look at our ad revenue go up.
We just simply are unable to not report on this stuff.
We are unable, like junkies, mainlining Trump day and night.
They simply cannot just go, listen, we're not interested in that.
And when it comes to the congressional and administrative aspects of this, similarly, they can't go, look, we're not going to focus on Donald Trump.
Because actually, we're too busy ensuring that you have better lives, that your food improves, that your medicine improves, that we create better systems, that we address the geopolitical problems that are going to affect your life, the cost of living crisis.
They cannot have that conversation.
So they would rather have this conversation.
Look at the grandeur of this, Gareth, now on NBC.
Like, people sat round a table, one in red, one in blue.
It seems so extraordinarily important, and for those of you that adore Trump, I know it's important to you as well, because you see it as evidence of corruption, and I wouldn't argue with that.
It's plainly not about the issue that they claim it is.
It's clearly political, no question about that, so there I totally agree with you.
But just answer me this, do you not think, you guys watching this on Locals, that our duty is to sort of remain focused on what is truly important?
And even I find it, well not even I, I'd be better than anyone else, I find it hard.
Yeah, so they've got this now, this trial and this circus that's going on.
They had the midterms recently.
There'll be the national elections again soon.
All of these things are... You can understand why people say these are distractions, because it's actually what there is.
There's such minimal time in between these things for anyone to actually do anything that's going to benefit ordinary people.
No wonder nothing gets done.
Someone here said, you could talk, you nearly killed crystal ball over a diet coke.
And then someone else said, the only things that are promoted here, true chimera says, only kombucha and bull shavers are promoted here.
Those are both fine products, delicious kombucha.
And I don't know about your nut bag, but mine, I just, I don't look at the guys from frankly.
Yeah, you're right.
We're getting hoovered into it ourselves in a way, but we were only here to point out why you shouldn't be here.
Exactly.
That's the only reason that we've come here.
Hey, so we've got this news just in.
Robert Sherman from the mainstream.
He's obviously busy, isn't he?
He'll be on NewsNation now, and this is what he'll be saying.
I'll do it and we'll ask him tomorrow if he'll come back.
Details, remember the wave and all that kind of stuff.
This is a historic, this is a historic day.
Trump's made his way in of course, stopped to wave to several people.
The back of his hair looked quite well groomed.
It was a suit designed plainly to appeal to as many people as possible.
I thought that Trump looked actually quite forlorn and surely for me that's an indication that he knows just how serious this is.
Oh wait!
This just in, we've heard that some Republicans will be attending.
It'll be like that sort of feeling, won't it?
I'm not being mean about Robert Sherman.
He might be nice.
No, that's his job.
He's doing his job.
Uh-oh, there's another tweet.
Heading to lower Manhattan.
The courthouse seems so surreal.
Wow, they're going to arrest me.
Can't believe this is happening in America.
MAGA!
Donald Trump, I mean, that's such a funny way to communicate, isn't it?
That's like so informal.
Incredible.
I suppose, though, if you want to see how hysterical, grandiose and elevated this discourse has become, you can rely on Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Is that her name?
Marjorie Taylor Greene.
She has her detractors, she has her fans, but in this interview, where she, I think, she's on her way to the court herself, wasn't she, for the arraignment, Arrangement's a word we've all got to know now.
Arrangement, not arrangement.
Grow up.
This is arraignment, a word you didn't know two days ago that you're saying all the time.
Ah, these bloody arraignments.
It's exhausting me.
So let's see what Marjorie Taylor Greene's got to say.
She'll bring us back down to earth.
She'll give us a perspective on this trial that helps us understand the reality without any nonsense or incendiary language.
Let's hear it.
President Trump is joining some of the most incredible people in history being arrested today.
Nelson Mandela was a... He's a good one, Nelson Mandela.
He was arrested, framed as a terrorist, when actually it was a freedom fighter.
Yep, Trump's the new Mandela.
Let's leave it there.
He's like Mandela.
There.
That's enough.
No more examples needed.
No more examples.
Mandela, one of the great statesmen of our time, who overcame corruption, was in prison for 27 years.
I'll tell you in fact, if anything, Mandela's sacrifice was a bit greater than Trump's, you could argue.
I guess you could.
So let's just leave it there, not use any other historic examples.
Served time in prison.
Jesus.
Jesus was arrested and murdered by Jesus!
You can't go any further now.
No.
Can you?
No.
Other than what?
Are you going to say Mohammed, peace be upon him, the Buddha?
Who are you going to?
That's it, you've said Jesus.
I like the guy that interviews her.
Doesn't go, ooh, I'm not sure.
He just nods.
Let's go back five seconds and study the reaction of the mainstream media dude.
Look at what he says.
He's not like, I'm going to take you up on the Jesus one.
It's not Jesus.
Either he was like a sort of apocalyptic preacher or he's a living avatar conveying the limitless power of God in human form that we may understand new frequencies of consciousness to bring about peace on earth.
You're saying that's different in what way?
I just wonder if Jesus would have started all those hotels.
I don't know, because he might have gone, I don't know that we need... I suppose they do have the cross on the roof at a church, but I say that Jesus wouldn't have been down with that had he stayed around.
How many contestants are in The Apprentice?
If it's 12, then we've got an issue.
Okay, going live now.
This is a historic day.
We can reveal there were 12 apprentice contestants.
That's 12 disciples.
And one of them, I believe it was Piers Morgan, betrayed Trump in a later interview with 30 pieces of Bitcoin.
So what that tells you right now is Trump is new Jesus.
I mean, you'd have to love Trump, I'd say, a hell of a lot.
To usurp our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ at the top of that particular triptych, wouldn't ya?
Let's have a look again.
Just watch the moment of the mainstream media fella.
I'd like to get him on, because I'd like him to interview me and you.
That'd be nice.
It'd be lovely to have him.
We could say anything and he'd just go... Well, to tell the truth, I think I'm probably the new Jesus.
What, you're not going to pull me up on that?
Let's have a look again.
Jesus was arrested and murdered by the Roman government.
Yep, he was.
No, you can't argue with that.
Jesus was arrested and murdered.
Also, that's so potent, mythical, historic, ecclesiastical, hermeneutical, epistemological.
So much to unpack in Christ was arrested and murdered.
It's not like he was just some geezer.
You can't use that example, Marjorie.
Can she?
No, I mean, well, she can.
She just has.
With this just in, we're going to wrap the show in a moment, but we've just found out that Sideways Headman is doing his.
He's one of my favourite mainstream guys from ABC.
Let's see what Sideways Headman says.
He's head sideways.
Still sideways.
He's not moving it full on.
Turn up the audio a bit because I can see his head sideways.
It would create a circus-like atmosphere.
But circus-like?
Across from right now, who would he be communicating with?
Something I had read said usually it is a detective or a former detective
who would bring in a criminal, talk them through these initial steps.
A detective or former detective?
Who's going to talk Trump through the tape?
In a sense, you can cool the audio a little bit.
It's like there's no piece of information that is so insignificant that they will not unpack it and analyze it.
Now, please, I pray that we are not guilty of the same charge because I hope that what we are trying to convey to you is a opportunity to view a concurrent, deeper reality That there is a deeper spiritual reality right now.
That there is a way that we can attack, change, amend systemic corruption.
That there are ideas that can alter reality.
I just don't feel we're discussing them on the mainstream media right now.
It's new alliances, principles like service, willingness to sacrifice, willingness to listen to people that disagree with you.
Boldness and bravery to give up stuff in your own life in order that you can become more focused on the great crusade, if crusade is too incendiary a word, mission, also an incendiary word actually, the pursuit of a fairer, better world for us individually and collectively.
That's what I'm saying.
Hey, so listen, I guess we're going to wrap up for today, but tomorrow, what will have happened?
Tomorrow, will he have been arraigned then?
I think so.
We'll have all the details.
After he's been arraigned, will that be better?
We'll know all of the charges.
Tomorrow, we'll be talking about that.
This says to be 32.
When we had Brianna Joy Gray on yesterday, she said that there's that one out of Georgia that's a bit more heavy, maybe, about meddling with something or whatever, wasn't it?
Election results, yeah.
Yeah, the alleged rigging of elections.
Certainly that sort of thing shouldn't be going on.
Not from any party at any time, right kids?
We've also got Adam Andrzejewski from Open The Books.
You're going to love this guy.
If you've not seen him on our show before, what he does is he bothers people until they give him documents and then reveals what's in them.
He troubles them, doesn't he?
He wears a little bow tie.
He's an amazing guy.
Calls me Mr Brand.
It's brilliant.
He's going to tell us about that 180 grand cancer drug that Biden, all the while pretending to care about cancer and everything, literally there's administration or legislation in place, the Bayh-Dole Act, where he could just stop that and help people suffering from cancer to get their drugs at a reasonable price.
You simply don't use it.
Why?
Because he's a stooge of the system.
You know that already.
Guys, I hope you're enjoying this coverage.
I wish you'd join us on Locals.
We can be a deep down member of our community.
Joining this frivolity and fun like the people are right now.
now let's just see what they're saying there before we leave you till tomorrow.
Oh look at this, Killary Clinton, yeah, Ashela, I repel bad for Trumpster.
Barry John Fox, it's great, keep going till the arraignment is over. This is
history in real time. Some people just don't want us to go.
Just say no to voter fraud says Velody. Deconu, thank you so much guys, you're
awesome. I think she's talking about us. So what do you want to do? I mean
we can't just stay forever waiting for a man to be arraigned possibly by a
detective. They're just gonna to wait there in the streets.
But what you should know is it's mostly media that's down there.
The process of observing the spectacle is the spectacle.
That's your take home today.
Go and read some Baudrillard and unpack that.
The spectacle is generating itself, and as long as you're trapped within its prismic inauthenticity, you will not get the pure white light of truth.
And I mean white transcendent of all other colours, holding all colours, holding all of us together.
Sign up to Locals, get a weekly meditation out of me.
Also, you get access to live podcast recordings.
You can join us here.
Anyway, we'll see you tomorrow for yet more history.
Every day is a historic day.
Unprecedented.
Every day is unprecedented.
Every day is historic.
Join us tomorrow, not for more of the same, for more of the unprecedented and more of the historic and more of the different.
