Time Text
Yeah, enjoy your life.
Enjoy it.
This is your life.
You're living.
You're lunatics.
This is Stay Free with Russell Brand.
and streaming live. Hello Bandana Shiva.
Are you the new Snowden?
Are you?
Join us not for more of the same but for more of the different
Until then, stay free.
Brought to you by Pfizer.
In this video, you're going to see the future.
Hello, this is Mercury.
Hi, this is Mercury.
Mercury is breaking in.
We've got a life up there.
Hello there, you awakening wonders.
Thanks for joining us live on the internet, on Rumble.
The first 10, 15 minutes we put up in all sorts of places, but after that, when I need to speak freely, we're exclusively available on Rumble.
And we're going to need to speak freely today because from Fox News, we've got Kat Timph, commentator that I met when I went on Greg Gutfeld this time.
Are Fox News going to be able to continue to pay people with their massive out-of-court settlement?
And does this mean The democracy is officially not rigged.
The elections are not rigged now because Fox making those claims on air while privately they exchanged texts saying that they didn't believe in themselves, which by the way sounds very similar to the American government's official stance on the Ukraine-Russia conflict, publicly saying this is a winnable war.
Go Ukraine!
Private round the back.
We ain't getting none of that territory back.
Never admitting that there are boots on the ground of US personnel.
These are the content of the recent leaks that you may not have heard about because all anyone will tell you is this guy calls himself the OG.
He's in chat rooms.
He probably masturbates into a sock!
That's not real proper news, is it?
We bring you real news, and real news will always be about establishment narratives, challenging them, and breaking down centralised power.
So, whilst we'll talk a bit about Fox News's payout, we'll be asking bigger questions.
Does this mean an end to systemic corruption?
Does this mean that the next time there's an election in your country, the side that loses won't be saying, the election was rigged?
And does it mean that the only answer is secession now?
That America needs to accept it's too vast a territory for one centralised, corporatised, lying, corrupt, globalist government and it's time to decentralise, devolve and bring true democracy to America.
Let me know in the chat if you think that's the kind of direction that America should
head in, or should they double down on authoritarianism, censorship, surveillance, the way things
appear to be going.
If you're living in New York City now, watch your back, there's a digidogger coming your
way.
Not having learned the basic lessons of Robocop, Robocops are being introduced and made to
sound all favourable and chummy with the use of the cute moniker, Digidogs.
Aww, aww, it's only a digidog that's tyrannising me.
What's that that just shot me in the back?
It was a digidog.
Oh, how can I stay mad at you?
Would you like another silicon chip?
Would you?
Would you?
Would you like a semiconductor?
We ain't going to Taiwan, baby.
Not now, not never.
Unless it becomes profitable.
Once we click over to being exclusively on Rumble, we're going to bring you a breathtaking, mind-bending, bone-breaking tale about China potentially developing a certain medicine even before a particular outbreak was even recognised.
Begging the question, if the outbreak hasn't happened yet, how come they're developing a medicine for it?
Is this a conspiracy theory?
Or is this just another one of those news stories that the mainstream will be reporting six months to a year down the line?
Let me know in the chat which you think it is.
So there it is.
Fox settled out of court for saying that the Minions voting machines are faulty.
Turns out they're some of the best damn voting machines that money can buy.
Fantastic stuff.
In other news, there's a new voice in town.
There's a new political power rising up.
There's a man who will embrace vulgarity with a brazenness here too far not seen.
We've often said on this channel that Donald Trump's power is drawn from the fact that within systemic corruption, a person that embraces vulgarity, a person that can say, yeah, I know there are tax loopholes.
I used them.
I know the system's rigged because I participated in rigging it.
We'll be looking right now Donald Trump's magnificent cards and later we'll be looking at some Democrat corruption too that suggests that they're in no position to attack Trump.
That's why he is Teflon to their slurs because they ain't got no basis upon which to attack him.
Joining me for all of this and more is my very very neatly dressed on-screen assistant Gareth Roy.
Oh, thank you.
I've given you your phone.
Did you like that?
To be announced.
I thought I would do that.
I thought I'd give you an on-screen announcement.
Are you the sort of person who would, under any circumstances, get a Donald Trump collectible card?
Well, I don't know.
I'd have to see.
I imagine it's a very low-key advert for it.
He doesn't exaggerate the significance of these cards.
He doesn't suggest that they're important non-fungibles.
Fungible is not a word you ever thought would make it into the mainstream, but here it is.
Fungible is here to stay.
We'll be talking about Foxy's out-of-court settlement, but let's have a look at Donald Trump's latest gambit.
It's pretty cool.
Have a look.
Hello again, this is your favourite president, Donald Trump, with some news you are going to... Do you think he, like, records that onto a phone?
Do you think that someone just puts a phone and goes, oh, we're doing some more of them cards?
Yeah.
And then he just does that?
Yeah.
I agree.
I bet he does it in one take.
One take, easy.
I really love... A few months ago, we almost broke the internet when I announced my Trump digital trading cards.
These beautiful Trump cards made...
It's interesting because we have progressed beyond irony, beyond the post-modernity, where Trump, far from being embarrassed about an image of himself as a firefighter or as a rock star, literally will embrace it.
And I reckon that That tells you that we're living in something so lurid and so vivid that there's nothing that he can do, like when he famously said he could shoot someone on Madison Avenue, is that we're living in such a nihilistic maelstrom now, where we know that figures like Biden are only inadvertently honest in so much as they are like a kind of barely vivacious cadaver orating badly from the pulpit, that they somehow represent what they are without ever telling you the truth.
And stories like this one, like, oh, Fox have had to do this massive out-of-court settlement.
Hooray!
Hooray for democracy!
Hooray for justice!
Not really.
Clearly, America is systemically broken.
Clearly, the mainstream media is broken.
Clearly, you get no congressional options that mean anything.
In a system where there are wealth transfers in the trillions during a time of poverty and suffering, I'm referring to the pandemic, at a time where 50% of federal budgets go to the Pentagon, 50% of that then ends up in the military-industrial complex in private contractors' hands.
These are not the kind of policies that you want implemented, are they?
Let me know in the chat in the comments.
Would you go, oh yeah, could you send 10 billion to Taiwan?
That's happening.
10 billions going to Taiwan in aid.
Did you know that?
Did you vote for it?
Let me know.
I don't remember voting for it, but then I'm not American.
You know, all of these systems, all of this expenditure, is set up to support a system that requires constant war in its mouth.
It's a war-devouring machine.
All this stuff is a sideshow.
There's, in a sense, Trump's cards are as important as the Fox payout.
Or Hillary piously saying, oh, he used to say, lock me up.
Well, he should be locked up.
It's all, as we know now, theatre.
There is no meaningful difference between the actors on this stage.
No meaningful difference.
I know some of you have personal affinities with or affiliations for some of them, but I'm offering you this.
What difference does it really make if you don't make some systemic change?
Let me know.
Let me know in the chat or the comments.
Have a look.
Headlines all over the world because of the speed at which they sold.
Original cards sold out so fast, everybody is asking me to do another series.
Well, I've got some fantastic news for you.
My Trump digital trading cards are back with a bang.
Series 2, the new collection, features incredible artwork of me as a rock star and also as a monster trucker.
He has to list some of the ones to truck.
I wonder if they gave him an option which ones to highlight.
Which ones do you want to say?
Rockstar one, the trucker one.
Because he'll do so many that eventually they'll run out and it'll just be like standard things.
Me as a man collecting the bins.
Me looking at my own trump non-fungible cards.
It'll become sort of a self-devouring vortex of non-fungibility.
I love to collect baseball cards, but why settle for that?
Why settle for a baseball card?
I'm sick of this!
This is just baseball!
Yeah, with maybe some bubblegum in it or something.
It's not even very nice, bubblegum.
What's that powdery stuff on the surface?
Why is there a zigzag down it?
I don't want that!
I want a non-fungible Trump rock star.
Some odd hybrid of Elvis Presley and Jon Bon Jovi and Donald Trump.
And I'm willing to pay money for that, actually, to get it.
You can collect the greatest trading card in history by Trump Digital Trading.
Greatest trading card in history.
There's no way of measuring that.
There's no way of measuring that.
Is there monetarily weight impact?
What metric do you use to make these claims, dammit?
But in a world of pure theatre, then why not have this?
If Jake Tapper can turn up on CNN saying, you're not going to believe this, Fox claiming to be a news outlet, When CNN as you know and I know it every bit as bad is in a sense only different by degree.
Have a look now at Jake Tapper on CNN.
Let's have a look.
Trump's trying to put a positive face on what can only be interpreted as one of the ugliest and most embarrassing moments.
That's performance.
He's shaking his head, right?
He's performing the news.
The graphics are grandiose, filled with pomposity and self-importance.
So Trump's cards, which will be being mocked all over TV now, you'll see them being mocked on late night stuff.
It's only an amplification of something that passes as ordinary mainstream reporting.
Look at this.
Oh, Fox calling themselves a news... I mean, I can't believe... I can't believe I'm going to say this.
I'm going to actually laugh.
This is performance.
So if the milieu becomes brazen vulgarity, then someone who is a master of brazen vulgarity will succeed in that landscape.
Not to mention that the system itself is so devoid of moral authority.
so incapable of delivering meaningful change that a master of rhetoric, a master of narrative
is going to succeed in that space.
In the history of journalism, Fox issued a statement saying, quote,
we are pleased to have reached a settlement of our dispute, dispute with Dominion Voting.
Dispute. Oh, it breaks me to even have to report this stuff.
Like, to have this level of haughtiness to speak from a position of such piety, you cannot work for a network that has been involved in falsely reporting on the Russiagate stuff, the Steele dossier stuff, the Joe Rogan horse pace versus the other medicine.
We're still on YouTube, so I can't even say that.
You can't Work for an organization that has its own system of corruption in place.
You know, when I was in America, I got involved in a temporary spat with someone saying, no, MSNBC and CNN are meaningfully superior to Fox.
And is that it?
Is that the conversation you want to have now?
You don't want to have the conversation about, look, this is really what CNN are involved with.
They promoted the debunked narrative that Trump colluded with Russia.
They spent months downplaying Hunter Biden's laptop.
They got involved in all that Joe Rogan stuff.
Let's have a look at some genuine systemic corruption.
Have a look at some meaningful numbers and figures that will not be changed as a result of Fox's payout.
Look, The Pentagon spent 14 trillion after 9-11.
55% of it went to for-profit defense contractors.
You know that already.
You know that they are agitating to increase Pentagon budgets, even now, while the Pentagon consistently keeps failing audits.
Is that today's video or are we doing that another day on Here's the News?
There's so much stuff coming today.
I think we're talking about robots arresting you in... Robots dressed as dogs arresting you in New York City, for your own good, mind.
Military contractors have spent $2.5 billion on lobbying over the past two decades.
So in a way, the claim that's being made is Fox News shouldn't have said the election was rigged.
The election isn't rigged.
Democracy is fine.
But in 2016, when Trump won, The Democrats spent years after saying, oh, it's Russiagate, it's Russiagate, it's not a legitimate... That's what they did.
And now subsequent to this election, Trump saying, oh, it's corrupt.
These machines, you know, like a variety of... And you at home might think it's rigged, but whether it is rigged or not rigged, it's corrupt anyway.
Why would we quibble about the minutiae of the corruption when you can look at numbers like this that tell you in plain sight Indefatigably, what the problem is, the problem is at the very top of the machine are elite institutions that require war, that require sickness, that require your poverty in order to function.
As long as that remains a fact, as long as you cannot vote against that, you are going to live Basically, in a system that's somewhat like this.
Because no one's saying, when I get into power, what we're going to do is we're going to ensure that the Pentagon's budgets are in line with necessary expenditure, we don't get involved in unnecessary foreign wars, and we're going to make sure that that money ends up supporting the actual troops that we use as the metaphors and symbols for patriotism, but are willing to end up on the streets, homeless, living on food stamps.
We've got stats and data on that stuff if you want it.
Soon after the Ukraine war broke out last year, Congress voted to appropriate $40 billion of aid in Ukraine.
You didn't get to vote for it, but you were propagandized, so you couldn't think straight about it.
And that's not to say Russia's invasion isn't criminal, even if they were agitated by NATO expansionism.
It's still a criminal invasion.
But this $40 billion of aid in Ukraine, do you think that all ended up as like blankets wrapped around little kids in Kiev?
Or do you think that Raytheon and Lockheed Martin saw some of that money?
Let me know in the chat.
Let me know in the comments.
Every single Democrat voted for it, while 40 Republicans urged Joe Biden to include a 5% increase.
Both sides basically the same.
And of course, to give you a bit of big picture stuff, billionaires added $5 trillion to their fortunes during the pandemic.
How did your business get on?
How did your lifestyle improve during that period?
Let me know in the comments.
Let me know in the chat.
So essentially we're having conversations and arguments that are confined to territory that cannot meaningfully affect change.
That's the game.
It's the only game in town.
Pious posturing by career politicians that are basically performers.
And here's one of the best.
Hillary Clinton sat strapped up in blue, haughtily Mmming her way through an interview.
Mmm, she says a lot.
I don't know what's going on.
I don't know if she's having a particularly, a particularly delicious boiled sweetie, or if she's on the precipice of some other kind of bodily bliss, but she's saying mmm all the way through it.
More than mmm-bop.
I ain't heard this much mmm-ing since mmm-bop.
Have a look at her.
America goes to the polls.
Donald Trump is running for president while under criminal indictment.
This the man who back in 2016 consistently accused you of law-breaking and actively encouraged chants of lock her up directed at you.
It's pretty ironic isn't it that he is now... I'll tell you what, it's also pretty ironic.
It's ironic!
That, in their self-described Pied Piper strategy, the Clinton campaign proposed intentionally cultivating extreme right-wing presidential candidates, hoping to turn them into the new mainstream of the Republican Party in order to try to increase Clinton's chance of winning.
The Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee called for using far-right candidates as a cudgel to move the more established candidates further to the right.
That's ironic.
That's real irony.
The irony is supporting campaigns that they regard as far-right, then finding themselves overwhelmed by those candidates.
That's a good and literal definition of irony.
Clinton's camp insisted that Trump and other extremists should be elevated to leaders of the pack and media outlets should be told to take them seriously.
You know that the media that decries and attacks Donald Trump are financially dependent on him.
That's why they're willing to film hours of his aeroplane on the tarmac while Joe Biden crushes healthcare packages put in place by Trump that they claim they support.
It's theatre.
In this realm of theatre, Fox's out-of-court settlement is not a victory for democracy.
In this theatre, Trump's trading cards are not egregious, they're just another symbol of where we are.
Why not do that?
Why not have Donald Trump dress up as a rock star and treat it like kind of a serious thing or a fun thing or whatever?
We're living in this sort of post-modern, valueless expanse now, where anything goes, nothing has any real meaning.
Listen, in a minute we're going to click over to being exclusively on Rumble, talking about a story that I just can't believe is true.
It's one of those things we find ourselves reporting over here on Rumble.
The possibility that China were developing a particular medication Before that medication would have been needed because there was no such outbreak.
I'm being deliberately obtuse at the moment.
Deliberately cryptic because I know we are still on YouTube where we would receive strikes for that kind of information.
We've got a couple of quotes here that sum up the situation pretty beautifully.
This is by Gilles Deleuze.
Oh yeah, philosophy is it?
The fundamental problem of political philosophy is still precisely the one that Spinoza saw so clearly and that Wilhelm Rieck rediscovered.
Why do men fight for their servitude as stubbornly as though it were their salvation?
Why will we not awaken?
Why will we not attack real systemic problems?
Let's look at the Edward Said quote as well.
Well, not that one.
We ain't got time for that, darling.
Let's have a look at the shorter one.
There's one that's a lot more pithy.
Here we go.
Every empire, however, tells itself and the world that it is unlike all other empires, that its mission is not to plunder and control, but to educate and liberate.
We'll be talking more about the military-industrial complex and how it requires the unique claim that America is above and beyond all other nations in order to facilitate its ongoing interventionism that's ultimately a kind of sales tactic.
Is it time, Gail?
Are we off of YouTube now?
Because I'm like, I'm going to speak freely.
I'm going to speak very freely now.
But we're not going to be using freely acquired content.
Content acquired from young Putin.
That's Will Sutter's dad, who is the only person willing to subscribe to The Telegraph.
He's got us this story.
China began developing two COVID vaccines before the official outbreak.
Now, let us know, how could they have been doing that?
Does that mean that there was an outbreak elsewhere that they knew about?
Is there some Something, excuse me, that's not as nefarious as that headline would suggest.
Let me know because I can't think of it.
I can't think of it.
Chinese researchers may have begun developing two COVID vaccines in November 2019 before the official start of the outbreak.
What based on?
A hunch!
What was it that led them?
They had a hunch.
Well, I guess this is the argument.
This is the argument, isn't it?
That the whole time we've been told, not just by China, but also the United States, certainly initially, although it's been changing that narrative the whole time, that this didn't emerge from the lab.
But now you're discovering that if this is true, and they were creating vaccines, you know, in 2019, then obviously, one, it developed, it came from a lab, and two, they already knew about it.
You know, they already had COVID.
So someone in China, people in China had it.
So it's, I mean, it's potentially a massive thing if this is true.
That's the sort of story that the mainstream media should be covering.
Potentially it's more important than Foxy's out-of-court settlement.
The claims come in a 300-page document which concluded that the pandemic most likely came from a lab leak and was the result of a research-related incident in Wuhan.
That's a hell of a document.
It's a big story, because obviously this all relates to the pharmaceutical industry.
We know about ways in which the pharmaceutical industry would be damaged if these kind of revelations were to come out.
And it's interesting, just to kind of go back to the Fox fine, because one of the things you were talking about was the kind of hypocrisy of CNN making money from Trump.
But in terms of fines, and this being the biggest defamation fine in US history, obviously Pfizer, a company who now Biden is literally doing a $5 billion deal on the next generation vaccine with Big Pharma in the US, Pfizer's biggest fine is $2.3 billion for illegally promoting the use of four of its drugs.
So that's obviously far higher than the... Again, not to kind of in any way say that Fox weren't doing anything wrong.
They evidently were.
But we're talking about Pfizer, a company that now people, in the pandemic, people have been getting tattoos of, and people have been lauding Pfizer's achievements, and the people in Pfizer are heroes, and yet we go back a few years and they're paying fines of 2.3 billion dollars.
The narrative is very different.
The thing is with the Fox fines, it is wrong to broadcast something that you know to be not true, but that's Same claim can be leveled to the US government as a result of these recent revelations.
And ultimately, generally, whether or not the election was rigged, whether or not those machines are faulty, if you've got a feeling that your democracy isn't working, It's broadly true in the ways that we demonstrate it, because it's bought and paid for by donations and lobbies.
People in Congress own stocks and shares in the companies that they're supposed to regulate.
The military-industrial complex requires ongoing war.
The pharmaceutical industry benefits from sickness, illness, and indeed pandemics that potentially were caused as a result of research that they were undertaking before they even bloody revealed that there was a problem.
And the pharmaceutical industry just a couple of years before the pandemic, whereas Gareth points out they were presented to us as heroes and saviors, were making out-of-court settlements of significantly more than that because of drugs that they were illegally, erroneously, malfeasantly promoting.
That's as well without getting into other actors and players in the pharmaceutical space like
the Sackler family and all that Purdue gear and the opioid crisis that was knowingly
induced just because it would be profitable and as it becomes more diffuse and more systemic
the mental health crisis, the despair, even if you're not yet suicidal or on drugs.
You might have the feeling that you're living in an unfair system, devoid of meaning, where you have no power or traction in your own life, where you're eating food that isn't good for you, where you're consuming information that is untrue, where you're living a lifestyle that's not connected to who you really are.
And I don't even mean that in an ideological or philosophical way, I mean that in an anthropological way.
You're not living in connection to nature.
You're not connected to your inner self.
You're living primarily, fundamentally, ultimately, in an illusion.
So, oh, okay, those voting machines are good.
Woohoo!
Let's all go back to sleep.
Everything's fine.
It's ridiculous.
It's not a victory.
You watch how it's presented in the mainstream.
It'll be like, what a triumph!
The same people that are willing to take Pfizer's advertising dollars, knowing that Pfizer have paid bigger out-of-court settlements than that.
So there's your justice, there's your triumphant system.
It's interesting that obviously all this focus is on lies about elections, what's going on
with Fox at the moment, but what's not being concentrated on is what about lies within
terms of government?
You know, it's one thing about the election result and, oh, was it real, or should it
have gone to Trump, should it have gone to Biden?
But the concentration isn't on, what about when either of those actually gets into government
and what lies occur with the promises that are made and the promises that are broken,
whoever gets into power at the time, those are the things that we should be focusing
on.
The Ohio train crash.
How did that go down?
How was that environmental disaster handled?
Where did all the ecological rhetoric go at a time when it would have been relevant and helpful?
What about the capping of big pharma prices handled in a way as to allow pharma to continue to profit and only tokenistic changes made to their pricing models?
What about the suggestion that people were going to be released from prison because of cannabis?
The whole thing It's theatre!
So, like, Donald Trump's mad, non-fungible bloody cards, in that environment, make as much sense as anything else.
There's no one in the political sphere on a plinth high enough to talk down to him.
That's the problem, in my opinion.
All of their haughtiness, all of their condemnation of the kind of people that find Donald Trump's bombast appealing, his attitude on camera, his willingness to plain speak in places where diplomacy governs to the point of duplicity.
All of those people, they ain't got a leg to stand on anymore.
The facts point to that.
The figures demonstrate that.
And what I suppose we say, speculatively, is these are the observable symptoms of a very, very sick system indeed.
Remember when Greenwald come on here?
Glenn Greenwald, Pulitzer Prize winning conspiracy theorist, married gay man and right-wing Nazi fascist.
He said that clearly a decision's been made not to placate the masses, to use a sort of just a pat term, anymore by, you know, the bread and circuses modality.
Now they're arming themselves.
Now they're making their surveillance within an inch of our lives.
They're creating new anti-protest laws.
They're watching our every move.
They're censoring counter-narratives.
And just in case that don't work, there are robo-dogs out on the street.
They've finally come up with a name that makes them sound inoffensive.
It's Digidog.
That sounds sort of quite nice.
Cute.
I like the sound of a digidog.
I'd get one of those.
But it's not actually a dog, though, is it?
It's a quadruped cop.
It's a quadruped fascist cop.
I mean, I don't know.
It doesn't have an ideology, actually, does it?
It's just some programming.
Unless AI gets involved.
Uh-oh.
Then what?
What if AI starts, I don't know, using Wi-Fi to start manipulating their digidogs?
So many questions, so few answers.
But what I love about this story Is the way that the New York officials present this information as inevitable, as progress, as good for you, as a safety measure, rather than admitting that what it could potentially be viewed as is a safeguard
for an inevitable future of public unrest and protest and uprising, preventing the possibility that human law enforcement officers might not be willing to shoot their own.
Digidog don't have that problem, and Digidog is coming to you in New York, New York.
So good, they named it, governed it, and tyrannized it twice.
Here's the news.
No, here's the F in news.
New York are bringing in robo-cops in order to police the population as protests become more likely.
But the smart thing they've done is to persuade us that these things are actually cute little digi-dogs.
As the world becomes more corrupt, as the media becomes more hypocritical, as protests become more likely, the establishment is finding ingenious new ways of policing us with terrifying, aggressive robots which are sort of posing as cute, lovable robo-dogs.
Robots will now take their place beside the city's men and women in blue.
CBS 2 political reporter Marcia Kramer shows us the mayor says he is calming the world for the latest technology to put the NYPD at the forefront of fighting crime.
Forefront.
Progressive.
They're making this look like natural progress.
For a little while they've been trying to normalize those robots.
They're getting us used to the idea that not only is uniformed authority able to tell us what to do, or bureaucratic information through your phone or through your letterbox or whatever, but now cyber authority is being introduced.
Look at the way that the media tells you that this is not the intervention of centralized power introducing new ways to control you should you find yourself interested in challenging authority.
No, this is progress.
New York's always been at the vanguard.
It's the greatest city in the world.
Why shouldn't we be oppressing you in new and novel ways?
This is being sold to you as an advance, as progress.
We've already been softened up and pummeled into thinking we need this stuff.
You have to be terrified to accept the way that we are governed generally.
You have to believe that there are enormous threats, whether it's terrorist threat, or germ threat, or Russia threat.
If you think that basically human beings are like you and there's a bit of good in the worst of us and a bit of bad in the best of us and we all muddle along and we can probably organize our own communities, then there's no need for them to put robot dogs on the street, cream profits off everything, set up an infrastructure where democracies are is a kind of charade where corporate and financial elites
secretly run everything, not so secretly these days even. Look at the framing of this. It's
important that you're told, great news everyone, there's robot dogs on the street. Of course they're
going to say initially there's no plans for them to be armed, we're never going to arm
them. Yeah of course they're going to say that, then there'll be some other crisis
because they've already made us believe it's a good thing to have robo-dog out there.
And it, by the way, is not a dog, is it?
Like, when you think of the attributes of a dog, loyal, friendly.
Dogs wouldn't have caught on as man's best friend if they were aggressive policing bastards.
From our earliest days, dogs would come by the campfire, or wolves as they were then, and they'd come there and they'd police us.
Hey, what are you doing?
How did you cook that antelope?
Mind your own fucking business, you little bastard!
From a galaxy far away, or at least Times Square, the NYPD enters the 21st century with crime-fighting robots to patrol subway stations or the crossroads of the world.
They're all about the future.
Star Wars, making it innocuous, banal, even fun.
Oh wow, it's just like R2-D2!
No, it's not like R2-D2.
It's like the Empire.
It's like you're being controlled undemocratically by a centralized force.
Who do you think those robots are gonna work for in the event that there are massive uprisings?
Do you know what's happening?
It's like, hey, you know what the problem is with the military and the police force?
Those people are drawn from ordinary blue-collar communities.
So when it comes to it, they might think, hey, I'm not willing to shoot my children and my grandma.
Robo-dog don't have that problem.
Hey, didn't I throw you a robo-bone yesterday?
Does not compute!
Not only does this robot sound an alarm, but it can also send messages.
Oh, great!
It can scare you, it can snitch on you, is there anything it can't do?
Love you.
Yes, it can really talk, either to people who need help or to the bad guys.
Yeah, people need help.
Oh, excuse me, I need some help, I was a bit free, I was doing what I wanted.
Comply!
Comply!
And who are those bad guys?
Are the bad guys whoever the state appoints that day to be bad?
Or is it the people that are releasing killer robots onto your streets?
And a robotic device called a digidog which is designed to assist the NYPD in investigating high-risk or hazardous incidents.
We want the public to know that the use of these technologies will be transparent, consistent, and always done in collaboration with the people that we serve.
Just the way things have been up till now really, always been pretty transparent, always a general feeling of service.
The culture sets up, I think, fake arguments that we're progressing because of these technological advances.
But let's not ignore the fact that what she's telling us is robot dogs are coming to police you.
Why?
For what reason?
The most innocuous reason is it saves money because it means that a normal person can't make pay demands to fulfill that role.
But at worst, it's that dog will do whatever it's programmed to do without a human conscience.
That's what it's about.
That's the long game here.
That's not cynical conspiracy theory.
Is it conspiracy theory that there was a massive wealth transfer in the last couple of years?
Is it cynical conspiracy theory that the police are being militarized all across America and much of the world?
Is it conspiracy theory that new protest laws are being introduced everywhere?
A conspiracy theory that the ability to surveil ordinary people whether they've committed a crime or not is increasing across the world.
Oh wow!
All these conspiracy theories come together to make one big not-a-conspiracy theory and nothing to worry about and just a dog trotting down your street shooting people.
The commissioner responding to intense community backlash the first time the NYPD tried to use the futuristic digi-dog during the de Blasio administration.
Some described it as a manifestation of overly aggressive police tactics used in poor communities.
Hey, this is a manifestation of overly aggressive police tactics!
What about now, a couple of years later?
Oh no, this is the forefront of progress now!
I believe that technology is here.
Uh, we cannot be afraid of it?
Yes we can!
We can be afraid of it!
Are you aware of what's going on with AI?
Are you aware of how much power these things are accumulating and generating and the possibility that it's attuned to forces and powers that we will never ever be able to confront?
You can tell in everything they're saying that they're trying to sort of covertly address the real problem.
Look, I know what this looks like.
It looks like we're putting robot dogs into the street which will lose normal cops their jobs and prevent there being human connection between those that are being policed and the police force.
Also enabling more surveillance, more power to big tech who you know you cannot trust already.
I know it looks like that but we can't be afraid of technology.
Can't we?
Can't we?
Because hold on I'm going inside myself.
I am afraid!
A number of groups attacked the city's latest foray into the 21st century, including Communities
United for Police Reform, which said, quote, we need to invest in housing, education, mental
health care and community programs that will keep us safe, not investment in new and expensive
technologies to criminalize us further.
Brilliant.
That is the argument in a paragraph.
They're aware of that argument, and they've made that decision.
We could either give them better housing, mental health care, fairer, less unequal societies, or we could take even more money and shoot those motherfuckers with robot dogs.
Oh, yeah, no, the robot dogs.
If we were not willing to move forward and use technology on how to properly keep cities safe.
Forward is a concept, by the way.
It's not like there's linear time.
Like, oh, we got to keep going with time.
Like, where's it going?
What's happening?
Do you think things are improving?
Like, I know people are saying, oh, the average person doesn't live on a dollar a day.
And back in medieval times, you had to suck on a chicken's ass to get through the afternoon.
I'm aware of all of that.
stuff. What I'm also aware of is a militarizing, tyrannizing, centralizing state. And we're being
told that it's transparent and progressive at gunpoint.
Then you will not keep up with those who are doing harmful things to hurt New Yorkers. That's
not true is it? There's not armies of like really progressive technological gangsters. Okay look at
what we've got now. We're running these protection rackets. Also we got this fucking terrifying
little gangster robot.
Give me 10% of your income as I shoot you down.
Are you laughing at me like I'm a clown?
There's not robot goodfellas out there.
The forces of evil and the forces of crime are not even invested in technology.
Look at the framing we have to accept.
That the state is there to protect you.
It is not.
Technology is inherently a good thing.
It is not.
Progress means more technology.
It does not.
There are so many things that we're accepting, that there aren't different ways to improve communities, that there aren't massive conversations to be had about how communities are run.
All of this is being bypassed essentially by a shiny robot and the people are so terrified and sort of bludgeoned with stupidity that they'll probably applaud that fucking thing and give it a parade.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams and the NYPD have reintroduced the DigiDog.
I'm not going to call it a dog, it's a robot policeman.
It's not even a robot policeman.
It's a cyborg.
It's a law cyborg.
It's a lawful cyborg.
A $74,000 robot that resembles a dog, except in the traits of loyalty, kindness, friendliness, and warmth, which was paused by the previous man.
Whoa, whoa, we better pause this.
People fucking hate it.
It was retired after civil rights advocates also deemed it aggressive policing.
That's why, because people went, hold on a minute, these robots coming into people's houses, is this right?
Oh shit, no, they've noticed.
No, yeah, we'll stop that.
We'll stop that for a couple of years till you're poorer and more desperate.
Loud people?
That's protesters.
Martin Luther King, Malcolm X. Just loud people opposed to tyranny.
Adams said at a press briefing.
Loud people?
That's protesters.
Martin Luther King, Malcolm X.
Just loud people opposed to tyranny.
They seem to be quiet now, since we shot them.
Bring on the cyborg dog!
NBC New York notes that the robot's use is being pushed through despite widespread public objections.
People don't want it.
People do not want RoboCop on the street.
Perhaps because they've seen the film RoboCop.
This announcement is another example of the NYPD's violation of basic norms of transparency and accountability by rolling out these technologies without providing the public a meaningful opportunity to raise concerns, the Legal Aid Society is quoted as saying, in objection to the move.
We've been through defund the police, we've been through the hatred of the police, now we're saying it's progress to turn the police into robots.
Another piece of tech called the K5 autonomous security robot is also being rolled out alongside the quadrupedal robot which NBC New York reports That's surveillance.
Surveillance robots on the streets, watching you, and then grassing you up to the authorities.
You know, because you're a criminal, or maybe you're just doing something that the state objects to.
And will be used to conduct automated patrol in confined areas both indoors and outdoors such as transit stations.
Every objection to police militarisation as a dangerous slippery slope has been 100% vindicated by history.
And there's no reason to expect that to change as they start rolling out cop bots.
As John and Nisha Whitehead explained last year for the Rutherford Institute, this ongoing expansion of police robot militarization tracks alongside the steadily increasing militarization of police forces in the U.S.
more generally.
SWAT teams first appeared in California in the 1960s.
By 1980, the U.S.
was seeing 3,000 SWAT team-style raids per year.
And by 2014, that number had soared to 80,000.
It's probably higher now.
In order to continue to fund the Cyborg Dog Cop, they will have to demonstrate that it's valuable and therefore show that it's being used in arrests and, oh, this neighbourhood's 10% more successful or whatever.
So once they introduce it, it never goes backwards.
Since the dawn of history, rulers have dreamed of having mindless, obedient soldiers who will never turn against them, will never disobey orders, And we'll never hesitate to attack the civilians of their own country when told to do so.
Cop bots are the final solution to the ancient problem that there are always a whole lot more ordinary people than there are rulers, because once they're fully militarized and fully rolled out, they can be used to subdue a population of any size.
Cop bots are the anti-guillotine.
When there are these uprisings in France, in Sri Lanka, in the Netherlands, in the US, when people are less and less satisfied with their government, more and more cynicism about inequality, about corruption in media and government, you could either create a fairer, more just democratic society, or you could send robots with guns out onto the street.
What do you think is more likely, given this news story?
Let me know in the chat and the comments.
Now the Oakland Police Department is pushing for the use of robots armed with shotguns.
Police have already used a robot armed with a bomb to kill a suspect in Texas.
Like all escalations in police powers and police militarization, the increasingly widespread use of police kill bots will be justified in the name of saving lives and protecting law enforcement officers, but we'll certainly see a rise in abuses of the new power.
More importantly, at least in the long term, once armed robots are being used to police civilian populations, the powerful will have made the possibility of a people's revolution against them far more remote.
So democracy doesn't work, protest doesn't work, surveillance is now possible, omni-surveillance almost, and now we have an armed police force of killer robot dogs.
What's the way out now?
How you gonna vote your way out of this one?
Flesh-and-blood armed police will hesitate to fire upon their countrymen in a domestic uprising.
They can be persuaded to side with the people and oust the sitting government.
They have beating hearts and aren't covered in armor.
AI-guided weapons robots are not yet enforcing the rule of law on our streets, but that does appear to be where we're headed.
And once we're there, it's entirely possible that the door to revolution will have been bolted shut for good.
If that's the case, then it's no exaggeration to say that humanity is in a race between A, a revolution against the status quo power structures which are oppressing and exploiting us while driving us towards disaster, and B, the ubiquity of armed police units.
Our rulers keep incrementally pacing us into accepting this in the same way they pace us into accepting internet censorship, whistleblower persecution, and the war on journalism.
And you can think of examples of each of those.
Whistleblowers who reveal information being smeared and dissenting voices being controlled, surveillance being increased, police being militarized, New protest laws, totally immersive surveillance.
All of these things are on the rise.
Even if you happen to agree with the government in your country now, and I bet you don't, let me know in the chat and the comments, surely you see now that this creates the possibility for a corrupt, centralized dictatorship to take total control of your country and ultimately the world.
We have to oppose measures like this while they're small enough to be crushed.
Otherwise, we may never get the chance again.
But 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.
Election was rigged.
It was obvious.
This is all thea.
See?
Some people, they're just... That's the way they are.
Like Lane W believes that... Look at this!
Bob 303.
The whole system is rigged against the average citizen.
Jack 29er.
Nothing says these voting machines are good.
They settled our court.
We will never know.
It should have gone to fact-finding.
See?
People don't... Yeah, they go.
Look, but also on the, you can see the presentation we just made.
Mystic Kipper says, clip clops in flip flops.
That would soften the image.
You're right about that, Mystic Kipper.
Blessed old bird, these are tools.
This is what happens when someone hacks into the system.
Or what happens, is it?
Let me just work that out.
Yeah, what happens when they do?
We don't know yet, mate.
But it won't be good, I don't imagine.
Neongrammarion, how does clip-clop do when it's caught in a bear trap or falls into a camouflaged hole?
Well done.
The counter-clip-clop movement's begun, and it begun here.
We have got a fantastic guest joining us right now, a person that I have met and been on a TV programme with and sat on an armchair under bright lights looking at for a moment, having those sort of powerful moments of reflection that I often have when I'm on a television show where I start thinking about God and death and meaning.
And Greg Gutfeld.
And Greg Gutfeld, because it was his show, so I thought about him a bit.
I looked at him, wondered what he was like.
Sometimes I think about everyone's kidneys and everything, doing their jobs.
Think about all the cells regenerating.
Think about that we're in limitless space.
And then think, oh no, I'm being asked a question.
And he's got a bright jumper on.
Yeah, it's very bright.
But the guest...
I remember thinking that alongside the Thanos-like wrestler man, who I liked and was funny and made a couple of good jokes and seemed like a pretty nice guy actually, the person I liked who was opposite from me was Kat Timpf, whose book I hold in my hand now, you can't joke about that, which pictures her holding some booze in a microphone in a studded shoe, sat atop of a, I believe, A coffin.
And me and Kat Timpf are going to have a conversation now and talk about, I suppose, hate speech.
Also, Kat, you know, I met Kat on Fox.
We've got to talk about what's going on on Fox and all that stuff.
Kat, are you there, mate?
Are you there on the internet with us?
Yes, I am.
Hello.
It's lovely to see you.
So great to see you too.
Do you remember that time when we met each other and it was on Greg Gutfield?
Yes, yes we did.
We had some great conversations about binary thinking and the way that people in power like to play us against each other so that we don't pay attention to how corrupt things are getting and the way they're abusing their power and I've loved a lot of things that you've said sort of continuing in that exact direction.
Yeah, like, I've started to find, like, I'm having conversations with people that I've been trained to be suspicious of.
They're delightful, you know?
Delightful, friendly and open.
And not you necessarily.
I don't even know if you are a right-wing person.
I can't tell.
I've been looking at your book.
It seems to me that you're very interested in freedom and conversation and humour and fun.
Tell me, mate, this book, is the driving idea behind your book that ongoing censorship will ultimately be deleterious because we won't be able to muck about and have fun?
That's part of it, right?
And I'm a libertarian, so I'm not in either one of the two big teams.
The point of the book is all the things that we're not supposed to talk about, the things that we're not supposed to joke about, how harmful that is to the people who are actually going through tough things.
If you're going through trauma, You don't want to be treated weird by people who are too afraid to speak to you and maybe say the wrong thing and that applies to so many different things because ultimately we're all in this together and the only way that we're actually going to be able to survive is being able to openly communicate with each other about everything including political stuff and the stuff you shouldn't say but also stuff like like death which is why I'm sitting on a coffin on my book cover.
That's why you're sitting on that coffin?
Yes, absolutely.
I think that a lot of the debate is always about speech versus sensitivity, right?
But that really ignores the way that it can bring us together because every tough thing I've ever been through, one thing that got me through it was thinking, okay, well, I'm at least building a connection with everyone else who's been through it too, whether it was Losing my mom at a young age, being very, very broke starting out, or I had an emergency ostomy surgery in 2020.
Then I had a reversal where I had some complications and I was in the hospital actually on January 6th.
But what's the use if we can't talk about all of that stuff?
So we're actually limiting our ability to connect with each other and also to heal within ourselves because if something is really scary, then the best way to take away the power from that thing is to laugh in the face of it.
I saw Jon Stewart make a point like that, talking about some of the stuff that Kanye said, and it was one of the things I've most enjoyed.
Really, we get opportunities for conversation, although I suppose not everyone likes to talk about sensitive or traumatic issues, and I suppose, really, Kat, we want to foster a situation where you're not afraid to speak about stuff but neither are you afraid to be private.
It's this odd situation where public speech is being censored while simultaneously we're being surveilled and observed, criminalised and treated as people that need to be paternally handled and controlled.
So it's an interesting time to be an outspoken person.
You go on Fox and stuff, mate.
What do you find it like on there?
I mean, I had a really good experience when I went on both Tucker and on Greg Gutfield.
Tell me what it's like for you, how you started going on there, and then tell us a bit about what you think about the outcourt settlement and stuff, if you're comfortable talking about that and it doesn't put you in a compromising legal situation.
Right, well, I think this kind of goes back to a lot of the stuff you were saying, because, you know, I work on Fox News, but I work on The Late Night Show, so I wasn't covering the 2020 election.
But if you hear Fox News, you think it's a monolith, right?
People say, Kat, Tim, Fox News, and then they think in their head, okay, I now know everything that I need to know about this person, to the point where there are some people who won't even sit down and have a conversation with me.
They know nothing about me, they know nothing about my life, And I even saw that happen to you when you were a guest on Fox News, and all the things you were saying were about this binary thinking and, you know, the power systems.
And people said, oh, you went on Fox News, so now Russell Brand is a far right-wing person.
But that's how people in power maintain their power and grow their power, because we're so focused arguing back and forth with each other.
The place where I work, Doesn't say everything that there is to say about me and I think that that is very rarely the case and that keeps people from actually understanding each other or from noticing what's going on from the people in power who are just growing their power.
They're watching us.
We find that so we're not watching you that we find out and they were like, oh, but look at what this other side did.
I picked this team.
So but what this other side did was worse.
Yeah.
There's a real, like, pettiness and vanity in it.
Like I think Greg Gutfeld said when I was on there, like of me, Russell Brand don't like Fox News either
and the criticisms leveled at MSNBC and CNN are also being leveled at Fox.
But I suppose what I've found particularly troubling of late is the narcissism and the idea that CNN or MSNBC
are meaningfully superior to a more conservative Republican or right wing, however you wanna describe it,
outlet like Fox, that they aren't funded in ways that's compromising,
that they don't have a relationship with the government that's compromising.
These recent leaks, Pentagon Papers, part deux, show that people aren't willing to focus on the content
of the papers, instead focusing on the personality of the kid that made the revelations.
Absolutely, absolutely.
And it's even worse because this isn't new.
And then there's also the Afghanistan papers.
I mean, it's all built into the system that if you go to, I mean, my husband, he fought in Afghanistan and he said, when he was 10 years ago, he said, when I was there, I knew that what they were telling us or telling, you know, us, meaning the world that they were trying to do, that was never going to be possible.
But by telling people in power what they wanted to hear, oh, it's going great, it's going great.
That's how you get away with it.
These people get promoted.
A lot of the same people that were involved in that, and certainly the same systems, are doing all of this.
And you, yes, you focus on the leaker.
The leaker did this wrong.
And not the fact that we've all been lied to.
And I was suspicious of this the entire time because I'm awake.
And just like you were not a patriot if you question some of the stuff in the Middle East, if you question Ukraine, then you're a Putin puppet, right?
The more that they tell you you can't question something, the more that I think, I better look into this.
I bet that I'm being lied to.
And then again, they do that to shut you up.
And that's why in my book, so much talk about communication and questioning things.
And you have to think for yourself.
It is much easier to just say, oh, this is my side, because then all the thinking is done for you.
And no matter what you do, you'll have people on your side to back you up and point out how the other side is so much worse.
But the military-industrial complex lives on throughout that.
Yeah.
Cat Tim.
It does.
It's sick.
And it costs lives, but people make money and we're all just sitting there like, Oh, did you hear about that guy broke that law or what that person said, or that team is bad.
And I'm like, is anybody else paying attention to this?
Well yeah, we're paying close attention to it and what we're observing is that most of the stories that we cover are about how state regulation usually improves corporate interest ability to act upon their agenda.
That the media, generally speaking, highlight issues that are difficult to resolve and could easily be brought to some kind of conclusion by an acceptance of mutual tolerance and leaving one another alone.
and letting people be different.
There's a sort of an appetite to empower globalist, centralised authorities like the WHO.
I mean, we see it again and again, militarisation of the police force.
It kind of, what it feels like is the enhancement of centralised authority when what is required
is the decentralisation of power and the acceptance that there are a lot of different ways of being human.
Are you doing this interview on a laptop?
I sure am.
Why don't you roam around your house and show us stuff and give us a tour of the property?
Oh, this is my office, so this is it.
This is on the couch here and my wig's over there for my sketches that I do.
I'm just sitting in my office.
But, you know, again, I just want to add to that, you know, people who are working in government, you know, we pay their salary and they're supposed to be servants.
So obviously they get rich doing this, which should just tell you all that you need to know.
Also, you go in as a politician and you become super wealthy.
And again, we all allow this to happen and we don't ask any questions.
We all need to talk more and listen to each other more and not just say, OK, I think that I know what this person is because of this or that affiliation or in this team and that team, because it's just getting worse every day and they keep getting away with it and nobody seems to care.
Who do you want to read a bit of your book?
You, me or Gareth?
Go for it.
You got it open.
No one wants to hear you whine unless you're funny.
If you were alive during the spring of 2020, your spring was probably pretty rough.
If you weren't alive, then you're either a baby genius or a spirit from the underworld.
In either case, please reach out to me.
I have questions.
You know, if you're a spirit of the underworld.
Even if you didn't have any of the real problems associated with the COVID pandemic, like someone close to you dying, losing your job or your business, or having to spend all of your time at home with your children.
I like that.
It still probably really, really sucked.
All of life's simple joys were suddenly either illegal or impossible, especially in cities like New York.
Want to go out to dinner?
Too bad, that's illegal.
Want to go outside and feel some fresh air on your face?
Some dickhead is going to scream at you to put a mask on.
It was terrible.
I can't even imagine how club girls felt.
I mean, where are they supposed to wear their bandaged dresses and heels now?
Yeah!
Where are they?
This is just an extract from Kat Timp's book in which she sacrilegiously perches upon a wooden esophagus and waits for, well, waits for the general attitude around humour to radically alter.
Kat, thanks for coming on this show and talking to us.
Oh, it's been such a pleasure.
It's always great talking to you.
Why you got wigs in your office?
Because I've done Elizabeth Warren and Jen Psaki impressions.
And then I have some other... I have this other wig from another impression here.
Here is a participation trophy from 1996 when I played AYSO soccer.
You know, I got it all going on, but... Alf's over there.
Alf.
Alien life form.
He's there.
Yes, I've had that since I was a little girl.
Nice.
Keep Alf around.
He was alright.
Yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely.
I watch a lot of Elf to help get me through a breakup.
I think comedy is super healing.
I consider comedy to be actually my religion.
I hope one day to believe in God again, but it's so healing and I think it's so important when everything else is so sad and disgusting going on around us to be able to speak the way we want to about it.
Yeah, sometimes I get so serious on the show because we're analysing things that seem really important.
You have to hold all of this dense information.
You have to be careful that you're not doing the things you're being accused of by your detractors of like, oh no, are we supporting conspiracy theories?
Are we being irresponsible?
But generally, we are able to maintain the line by talking to experts and a variety of people.
Every so often though, I feel like, oh man, I just need to stop taking life so seriously.
I've been doing that lately.
I've just fallen backwards into total frivolity.
Well, that's, I mean, I don't think that's falling backwards, right?
I think that people like to laugh, too.
So, if you can make people laugh, you can also get them to listen to you a little bit.
Because I think people get sick of the news being so depressing, so depressing, so depressing.
But also, at least, you know, you're not afraid to question things, which I think is super important.
Kat Timpf.
Thanks for coming on our show.
Get Kat Timpf's book.
You can't joke about that.
It's out now.
We'll put a link in the chat so that you can get it easily.
Thanks for joining us, Kat.
We'll see you again soon, I hope.
Yes, me too.
Yeah, mate.
Hey, guess who's on the show tomorrow?
Branko Marchatic.
She's going to be on.
You love him, don't you?
I think he's a very good journalist, yeah.
Don't try and make it a professional, love.
It isn't anything other than that.
It's nothing but professional admiration.
I haven't met him.
You've seen him online?
One day, that'd be nice, one day.
Yeah, that'd be nice.
Do you think he'll come in here in person?
Who knows, who knows?
Yeah, he's on tomorrow, so... That's good then.
Hopefully you can nurture your connection to him.
Yes, yeah.
I don't want you to sit there through the interview just quietly harbouring a resentment because I'm controlling the chat.
I mean, that's possible, I may do that.
I want you at some point during it to interject passionately and just say, Branko!
Well, I'm not... I'll have to read the room, Russell.
Yeah, don't do it if it doesn't seem right.
Also, we're talking about this poor US military lad who foolishly filled in a spoof form to become an assassin.
That's not how you become an assassin, is it?
By filling in forms?
Who knows?
How do you become one?
I don't know.
you're getting with the right crowd, the assassin crowd, I suppose. Let us know in the chat if you know how to become
one. Anyway, this poor lad's become a bit of a patsy and the object of mainstream ire. But really, the story, I
believe, when someone from the military is willing to become a spoof assassin is why aren't they earning enough
from their proper job being in the military? And what is the real story of criminality and corruption? Is it
military industrial complex, complex expenditure? Or is it one lad photographing himself
himself in front of a mirror with some snacks behind him. A bit like that other lad. Buddy
Texera. Whistleblower, gamer, OG, revealer of the simple fact that we've been lied to
about the Ukraine-Russia conflict. We'll also be talking to you about a potential cure for
long COVID. Yeah, you can sniff your way back to full health.
It seems ridiculous, but a lot of things are ridiculous these days.
Remember, you can click the red button to join our locals community where you get access to weekly podcast recordings.
You can join us live and ask questions.
Me and Gareth do Q&A sometimes, plus I do these weekly meditations where I do a bespoke meditation for someone based on what they're going through.
Like someone's got to make a tough decision, someone's got their heart broken, anything.
I also want to let you know that in the middle of July, we are doing a community festival.
Wim Hof, the Ice Shaman, will be there.
Vandana Shiva, World Teacher, will be there.
Hiron Gracie, BJJ Expert, will be there.
Eddie Stern, Satish Kumar.
It's going to be a fantastic event and you can come.
Kali Means is even coming with his sister as well, because apparently she inspired him to get into all this stuff.
I've not learned a lot about her yet.
But it's going to be a fantastic educational community event.
You will meet me.
You will meet Wim Hof.
You'll have the time of your life.
There's a link in the description to get your tickets.
Anyway, I suppose tomorrow is our last show of the week.
It's going to be absolutely fantastic.
Branko Marcicic will be there.
Will Gara finally declare his affection?
Reveal his erection?
Bring about an insurrection?
Who will know until tomorrow?
Join us then, not for more of the same, but for more of the different.
Until then, stay free.
Many switches, switch on, switch off.
