	Yeah, enjoy your life.
	Enjoy it.
	This is your life.
	You're living.
	You're lunatics.
	This is Stay Free with Russell Brand.
	We're streaming live.
	Hello, Vandana 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.
	I'm going to see the future.
	Hello there, you awakening wonders.
	Thanks for joining us today.
	This whole show will be available on Rumble.
	You might be watching us on YouTube right now.
	But, the whole show will be available on Rumble exclusively.
	So join us over there because we're asking... Does America require constant war in order to function?
	And if it does, does that mean that it looks for illegitimate wars that it then claims are legitimate in order to keep the war machine fed?
	Specifically, is Taiwan going to be the next Ukraine?
	What do the Taiwanese people feel about that?
	Do they even want to be the next Ukraine?
	Particularly when the revelations of buddy-boy Texaria have just made plain as day, at the risk of a 3,000 year sentence, plain as day that the Ukraine war is not going how the US government are telling us it's going.
	We've got BSMK, Simpkin coming on, she's one of my breathwork teachers, one
	of my favourite.
	One of my favourites. She'll help us how to deal with...
	She'll show us how to deal with living in a constant climate of crisis and deception
	using transcendent techniques that I think are going to help you in particular.
	She'll help you with your burp-in.
	Nothing can be done about that.
	The finest minds in medicine have thrown down their stethoscopes in despair and said, burp on, son.
	There ain't nothin' can be done.
	Then we're gonna have a deep dive into a news story that I'm not even gonna tell you about because it's so damned exclusive and thorough that they won't be able to handle it.
	They say you can handle it.
	Let me know in the comments.
	Can you handle the truth?
	Do you think you can handle the truth?
	Or do you need men with guns on a wall, by a wall, so you can sleep at night?
	You know, Jack Nicholson.
	Then, on Rumble, we're going to be talking about the mainstream media are finally catching up with where we've been for some time.
	You know that 1 in 800 thing, which we won't mention on YouTube?
	1 in 800!
	Even the mainstream are reporting about that, and let's call them injuries.
	Nice.
	What are you smiling about?
	No, well, tiptoed again, yes.
	I am good at tiptoeing.
	All right, let's have a look.
	One of the reasons we think that Ukraine might be usurped by Taiwan is because even now 25 US defense contractors are over there visiting.
	Why?
	If what Taiwan needs is help from presumably imperialist oppressive China, and I'm not again saying that China aren't imperialist and oppressive and that there aren't groups within Taiwan who want to throw off the shackles of Chinese rule and just Dying for Raytheon and Lockheed Martin and everyone to get involved.
	Why is it, in particular, it's defence contractors that go?
	I mean, I think the point is, what's it got to do with America?
	Like it is with a lot of cases.
	Like, when I'm having trouble in my own life, why don't America come round and say, well, we could sell you a missile, if you want.
	They would, if they thought I could afford one.
	But they're very pricey.
	Even the aeroplanes that don't work that well can cost a trillion.
	Around 25 U.S.
	defense contractors plan to send representatives to Taiwan next month, marking the first time the arms industry will send a delegation to the island since 2019.
	So they've been doing it.
	It's not that long, is it?
	The planned arms industry trip to Taiwan comes as a trip.
	It's not a very nice holiday, agitating for a war against another superpower.
	It's like they've run out of countries that they can beat now.
	Like the Afghanistan war took ages.
	Iraq war, in a sense, still being fought on a sort of a low level.
	These are the big two though, isn't it?
	China and Russia.
	This is, yeah, you're in the big leagues now.
	You're in the big leagues.
	You are selling weapons for decades on this.
	This can run and run, because you can't actually have an out-and-out hot war with China or Russia, even though Buddy Boy Teixeira's revelations suggest that there are American troops on the ground, engaged in combat, making it not a proxy war, but an actual war.
	But that's Buddy Boy's views, not mine.
	One is revelations, you could say.
	Revelations, and not his views.
	He didn't write them papers himself.
	I think his views are like, hey bro, check this out.
	Those are his views.
	I'm the OG!
	What up?
	Diggity-diggity, things like that.
	Oh yeah, that's the language.
	That's his views, but his actual revelations.
	Diggity-diggity.
	I think they say diggity-diggity.
	No, they do, you're right.
	Do they say that now?
	You could be one of them.
	I go on those chat rooms, I pose there for a while.
	Diggity-diggity, yo.
	Diggity-diggity, good new revelations on there.
	Got a show coming up later, we could do with a revelation or two.
	Um, so anyway, look, they're off there to Taiwan, and they're gonna exacerbate tensions, presumably, with Beijing.
	Unless Beijing want, you know, missiles in Taiwan, I don't know.
	It's not as if the US have surrounded China with military bases, is it?
	Have they been doing that?
	They have been doing that.
	Let's have a look at how ABC News are reporting this story.
	And it's good news, as always, because it's Ross from Friends, aka Sideways Head, doing the job of reporting the news.
	Now, you may have begun to think that the primary function of the media is to propagandise on behalf of the state.
	That's what you might have started thinking.
	You've been watching the news, thinking, is this news?
	Is Elon right, you might think.
	Is Elon right?
	Does where the money come from make a difference in the way they relay information?
	You might have started thinking that.
	That's up to you.
	But Sideways Ross, From the news, I've got a thing or two, so you're gonna... Get ready to eat those words, because Sideways Ross has got news for you.
	Here is that news, the news.
	China now warning Taiwan it is, quote, ready to fight, in what our Brit Klinit witnessed inside Taiwan.
	Actually, or she, has gone inside Taiwan.
	Which is good, isn't it?
	If you're going to do a story about Taiwan, go there.
	If you're going to sell them some weapons, go there.
	Go Taiwan and get it done.
	Which would be a good slogan for this whole war, I think.
	Jawana war is another potential Taiwan-a-war.
	Taiwan the war.
	These are all, you know, I'm just, no bad ideas in the brainstorm, we say.
	Combat drills simulating a blockade to seal off Taiwan.
	The Taiwanese defence ministry saying it tracked a record 91 Chinese fighter jets in the last day of the exercise.
	We're gonna get, that's it, that's all I need to know.
	91 Chinese fighter jets, what the hell are they doing up there?
	War!
	Get on that plane, Raytheon.
	Get over there!
	There's 91... You could be selling... If they could sell jets to the Chinese... They've not even solved the proxy war with Russia yet, and they're moving on to the next proxy war.
	My children are like this.
	You buy them some ink, and they're not... You think, well, hold on a minute.
	You've not really played with that, and you're demanding it.
	Sometimes, even by the time we've got to the counter... I'm never taking my kids shopping at Lockheed Martin.
	I'll show you that.
	Oh, we just want these air-to-land missiles, Dad.
	Oh, this jet looks good.
	Oh, and then the Raytheon.
	Well, really, sir, you do need both for absolute defence.
	I mean, China were flying jets above your house just yesterday.
	What's that, China?
	I thought it was a goose.
	Either way, sir, you're best off to have some missiles.
	Dozens crossing over sensitive maritime borders around the island.
	Well, not me maritime borders.
	Ooh, they're sensitive.
	Ow!
	What's next in me nuts?
	China's army even releasing an animated video of how Taiwanese sites would be targeted in an attack.
	You sons of bitches.
	Even an animated video now.
	Wait till you see in a minute where American military bases are all wrapped around China.
	It's not a cartoon about what they might do, it's a map of where military bases actually are.
	You know, they're comparing imagination to reality, which is what mentally ill people do.
	Don't they?
	Do they?
	We.
	Beijing sending a clear signal over its claims to Taiwan and its anger over last week's meeting between Taiwanese leader Tsai Ing-wen with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in the U.S.
	last week.
	Faced with China's looming threat, a growing number... There's a looming threat.
	Looming threat.
	It's looming.
	Yeah.
	You saw the cartoon.
	Yeah.
	Bloody thing.
	It went whoo!
	Like that, didn't it?
	Like Catherine Will.
	You cannot be too careful.
	You cannot agitate too heavily.
	You cannot sell enough weapons.
	Yeah, that's perfect media speak, isn't it?
	Looming threat.
	Has anything actually happened?
	Well, no, no, but it's a looming threat.
	What are you going to do?
	Ignore a looming threat, just let it loom, eventually it's going to topple forward and flatten you.
	That's what looming things do.
	Like a lamppost, it's going to topple forward at you.
	Right.
	That's what's going to happen.
	I think what you really need to address is an economy that requires constant war in order to sustain itself.
	If that doesn't get addressed, I think what you're going to get is constant war in order to sustain it.
	Did you see Jon Stewart the other day talking to that lady?
	Yeah.
	The defence lady.
	Yeah.
	She was so haughty and so full of herself.
	Well, she just kept laughing at him, basically.
	She thought being asked questions about the Pentagon failing audits five times in a row and being unable to track, trace, or demonstrate billions of dollars of expenditure was actually quite funny.
	As if she was being told an anecdote about, like, sort of a fox on a golf course or something.
	Sounds good, though.
	Oh, I kept trying, and then the fox, and I think it ran off with the ball.
	It thought it was a duck egg.
	It's not a duck egg being ate by a fox on the 16th hole!
	This is a budget that potentially is not being correctly audited in order to conceal the necessary ongoing trade between the state with your taxpayer dollars and companies like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin.
	And now suddenly China have got to be all looming in order to justify another war against the superpower.
	I don't know.
	Give me strength.
	Regular citizens are learning to defend their homeland.
	Right now these guys are training in how to transition from a rifle to a handgun.
	The kind of combat techniques they say they're going to need to know if there's an invasion from China.
	What you're gonna need to know is how to invest heavily in the products of Lockheed Martin and Raytheon.
	Being able to switch between a rifle and a handgun, like you're in a Tarantino movie.
	But how good are those handguns and rifles?
	Where did you get them?
	Yep.
	Oh yeah.
	Why get one?
	They're a matching set.
	Yeah, I mean the news again is basically a commercial, isn't it?
	It's commercial for the military industrial complex, for weaponry, for looming war.
	Stupid.
	David, these drills may not have been as big as others, but China says it's ready to smash any form of Taiwanese independence.
	David?
	Brit, thank you.
	David, for once, move your head round to the front, just so we can trust you, for God's sake.
	This is the number of American military bases accruing around the Chinese border.
	I mean, that's alarming already.
	Let's see it animated to give us a bit more of a jolt.
	The United States plays a major strategic role in the Indo-Pacific.
	With 375,000 personnel, there's a vast network of operations that extend from Hawaii all the way to India.
	Okay, scary.
	What about these 200 military trainers?
	They're in Taiwan now.
	Have a look at that.
	The strange thing about that clip that we just saw was that was meant to be a positive thing.
	That was Sky News Australia saying, it's good this, isn't it?
	Well, they've selected bad music for that.
	Yeah, they have.
	They've gone to the ominous section.
	Yeah, what should it have been?
	Like, humorous?
	Like Benny Hill or something like that.
	You know, like the sound that you imagine my company in erection springing out of a nappy?
	Sorry, excuse me.
	Diaper.
	Out of a diaper.
	It's an adult.
	Oh, an adult nappy?
	Yeah, it's an adult wearing a diaper.
	I see.
	Why was that your example, an adult diaper?
	Around, look now, there are over 200 US missile bases around the border of China.
	Don't worry, because it's just an adult taking off their diaper.
	But why are they so excited?
	Because of the diaper.
	It's a whole thing.
	Look at adult babies now and you will have a...
	I don't know, it might worry you actually.
	Do you mean me? Now?
	Not you.
	You, you watching this.
	Not if you're watching on YouTube, because I don't want them to get that business.
	You're better off looking at that on Rumble, they won't judge you.
	So what's this now?
	This is the Taiwanese people reacting to this.
	This is good propaganda in my view, because the American newscaster wants to elicit a propagandist response.
	Like, say stuff like, China are bully boys.
	Yeah, and you're really scared.
	You're really scared.
	You need America's help.
	You need America's help.
	Action!
	In a recent survey from Taiwanese Public Opinion Foundation, more than half of people here said they believe Taiwan will become the next Ukraine.
	But here on the streets of Taiwan, when asked whether they're worried about an attack from China, Well, I think attacks from pythons appear to be accessories in contemporary Taiwan.
	Most people we speak to say they choose not to think about it.
	I think we should just worry about Taiwan ourselves.
	It's not Taiwan and China.
	So yes, I'm not worried about it.
	Are they Buddhist over there in Taiwan?
	I don't know.
	Can we find out what religion they are?
	Because what he seemed to be saying is there's no point projecting yourself into territory that is beyond your control, just actually focus on the moment, stay present.
	That sounds a bit Buddhist to me.
	Yeah, well certainly when we don't know how much we can trust this propaganda.
	You know?
	I mean, that's a... He seemed all right.
	Yeah, that's an enlightened position on media propaganda, isn't it?
	They're like Buddhism and Daoism over there.
	And the Dao, that's trusting the way, the path will unfold before you.
	It was working well for him.
	Buddhism, you know what that is, isn't it?
	It's paths.
	We should all be a bit more like that.
	Noble truths.
	Yeah, that's what I've been trying to tell you.
	That's what Beata Simpkin's coming on, to do some brief work.
	Oh, okay, nice link.
	Brief breath work.
	Very nice.
	Get us in the right mood.
	Yeah.
	Instead of sat here contemplating what the hell goes on inside an adult diaper.
	Well, I wasn't doing that.
	It's frankly none of your business.
	Just to make it clear, that was not my... It's not even any of your... What business is it of yours?
	I wasn't thinking about it, I've never thought that.
	You're not?
	I've never had that thought.
	Like that, what's her name, Rennie Aresta?
	Rennie Diresta, the censorship thing.
	The censorship authority in America.
	What's going on down those diapers?
	That could be dangerous.
	Right.
	Let me have a snoop.
	I can use this stick, pull the band forward.
	Uh-oh!
	No, no, no!
	Why does she make it into one of your warped fantasies?
	I don't... Michael Schellenberger will be horrified after he's told us that.
	He'll like this.
	The way that you're using it.
	Michael Schellenberger, you did the research, I'm delivering the news.
	Let us know in the comments below if you think this is the best rendering of your work as yet.
	Let's see what the Taiwanese... See this lady now, look at her.
	She's reflecting on the person's question.
	Let's see what she eventually says.
	I don't make any opinion about that.
	I don't think it is... Because I can't do anything about that.
	Don't have the help.
	You don't think America would help Taiwan?
	Yeah.
	Why?
	Because there's too much trade.
	Taiwan's fine, isn't it?
	Right.
	I'd take my chances over there.
	Yeah.
	I mean, everyone's so Buddhist, they've actually checked out of the problem.
	That's right.
	That's the point.
	That's the point of ascending to a higher spiritual plane, so that when someone comes over going, are you worried now?
	Well, also, they must recognise that, you know, if democracy exists, then they'll be able to exert some kind of power over this, but if democracy doesn't exist, then we'll just have to let governments and the military-industrial complex decide the outcome anyway.
	I love it.
	I like Taiwan.
	Yeah.
	I actually think we should send them a lot of missiles because that piece needs protecting.
	Fortunately there are 200 US military trainers in Taiwan right now.
	I would highlight that our support for and defense relationship with Taiwan remains aligned against The Wall Street Journal first reported in February that the US planned to deploy between 100 and 200 troops to Taiwan.
	miners told antiwar.com. The Wall Street Journal first reported in February that
	the US planned to deploy between a hundred and two hundred troops to Taiwan.
	The US only had about 30 troops on the island. They're up in the anti...
	They certainly are.
	...is what that looks like.
	But the Pentagon do spend money in extraordinary ways.
	And when I say money, to specify, I mean your money.
	The Pentagon says record defence budget is necessary to compete with China.
	So there is, I suppose, like if we were doing... As you know, I was one of the main stars of Death Down the Nile, the Hollywood film.
	Oh yeah, I know.
	You were, I think, the main star.
	I was dressed as you in it.
	If you can get a steal, you'll see I'm dressed as... I played the part of Gareth Roy in Death Down the Nile.
	And in that... Was it called that?
	That's right.
	Death Down an Isle.
	I didn't think it was even called that.
	Solved by a plural.
	Did you take part in the promotion for that film?
	Yeah, Death Down an Isle.
	It's good, I said.
	I tell anyone, go see Death Down an Isle.
	It's one of the best.
	Yeah.
	They have to work out who done it.
	Motive?
	What's your motive?
	Well, here's your motive.
	Pentagon says record defence budget necessary to compete with China.
	The Pentagon's record high $842 billion budget request is only expected to increase before it's finalised.
	While China plans to increase military spending by more than 7% to $225 billion, US continues to spend more on its military than the next nine countries combined.
	So...
	Theoretically, at least, America could have a war with the next nine countries, and it is actually trying to do that now.
	Yeah, it is.
	Because the next nine countries are probably China, then Russia, I would guess, then it's probably France.
	Right.
	They're doing it.
	Us, the UK, Germany.
	Isn't there a statistic about America being involved in wars or disputes in over 80 countries or something?
	They're always up to something, Gareth, that's the main news.
	The Germany, I still don't think they're allowed full budgetary largesse.
	Right, in case.
	You never know.
	The Defence Department fails another audit but makes progress, so this is it.
	So we don't know, we can't tell you, neither can the Pentagon tell you what happens to those billions, that 800 billion, assumed to, um, it's gonna exceed... A trillion.
	...pretty soon.
	Yeah.
	But they won't even tell you where that's gone, because they don't like to be audited.
	No one does, actually.
	Well, no.
	Would you like it?
	I hate being audited.
	Where'd you get that top?
	How much was it?
	It's exhausting.
	But I am not the Pentagon, as you can plainly see and tell.
	Although, I am as auditable as they are, and as responsible for their expenditure as they are, in so much as I will give you a brief Accountancy review.
	They spent most of it, over half of it, went to military-industrial complex.
	Not enough went to troops.
	That's why 60% of them have unstable housing and 25% of them are using food stamps.
	And 11% of all homeless Americans are former vets.
	Yep.
	The Pentagon might not have been able to give you that.
	No.
	That was actually reliable data.
	It was.
	Right there.
	Yep.
	The Defense Department failed another audit, but has made progress.
	It's like they're a child that's having a tough time at school.
	Yeah.
	The Pentagon has failed another audit, but they're really trying their best at PE.
	And we've noticed that.
	We've noticed that they didn't wet themselves.
	The Defense Department has failed its fifth audit, unable to account for more than half its assets.
	After 1600 auditors combed through the DoD's $3.5 trillion of assets and $3.7 trillion in liabilities,
	officials found the department couldn't account for 61% of its assets.
	So...
	But we know where 50% of it went, don't we?
	50% of all of it went to the military-industrial complex.
	So you only need to focus on the 50% that didn't go there.
	Now if you want to see me playing Gareth Roy in Death Down the Nile,
	there I am, doing a damn good job of it.
	Right.
	So I look like that in your mind?
	Roughly, yeah.
	In that scene, I'm very concerned about what's happening over to my right.
	I can tell that.
	I can see that the direction was, there's something happening to the right of you.
	Look concerned.
	Kenneth Branagh would have said something along the lines of, Russell, as you know, you're one of the best actors on the set and in the world.
	So, anyway, just pretend, if you will, that something over there on your right... What's to the right of you?
	...is cause for grave concern, and Rose there, Rose McGowan... Well, you're doing much better than she is.
	Much better!
	She's in Game of Thrones, isn't she?
	Right.
	Rose, but she's... Staring straight ahead.
	No good.
	After the minute we finished that shot, I went, Rose, I can't carry Def Dannenahl alone.
	I can't be the only one who thinks that there's... who's trying to convey that something to the right of us is happening.
	Imagine it's China.
	A looming threat, Rose.
	Looming.
	Imagine over there, there's China.
	They're in an adult diaper.
	Like that, Rose.
	Is that what Branagh told you to think about?
	Is it a Branagh technique?
	Not in so many words, gal, but I think that's what he was driving at.
	That's what he was alluding to.
	I think what you're saying, Ken, can I call you Ken?
	No, please don't.
	Call me Sir Kenneth.
	Sir Kenneth.
	Would you like me to imagine the personification of the People's Republic of China in an adult diaper?
	They pulled forward the waistband of a diaper, boing!
	Well, actually, Russell, I'd like you to get off the set now.
	You've damaged this film.
	Yeah, you will not be taking part in the promotion.
	Now, listen!
	We're gonna go over to Rumble now.
	Yes.
	I'll tell you why, because you might have thought what we said already was controversial.
	It wasn't.
	This is though.
	We're gonna go, we're gonna talk now about...
	Well, this is a head- Can I say the headline, even, on YouTube?
	I'm not sure if you... COVID Booster now does more X than Y. Right.
	Now, if you want to know what X is and what Y is, there's a link in your description.
	Go over to Rumble, and I'll tell you what X is, and I'll tell you- You do the math.
	Specifically, you do the algebra by clicking on the link and joining us on Rumble.
	Let's go!
	Okay, so now we're only on Rumble.
	And here is the truth.
	COVID- I'd like you to do this by this happening somewhere to your left.
	It's very good.
	There you go.
	I'm worried about this.
	I'm worried about it.
	Very good.
	Now I can see how you got the part.
	Kenneth, before you... Before you go with... Who else could have done it?
	Um... I mean, could anyone.
	No one.
	There's no actor.
	No.
	Um... Will Arnett?
	Yes.
	Before you go with Will Arnett... Nice.
	Consider this.
	Actually, Russell, that's good.
	I know.
	I can do it the other side as well.
	We'll pick that up tomorrow.
	That's enough for one day.
	That's enough for one day.
	You're a great actor, but you're not a superhero.
	Yeah, and I've worked with Hopkins.
	I've worked with Hopkins.
	Compared to you, said Branagh, he's actually a bit shit.
	That's more like comparing the two.
	Shit, he was a bit.
	Yeah.
	Covid vaccine booster now does more harm than good.
	I told you this would happen.
	No, I know.
	Didn't I?
	You've been banging on about this for a while.
	We're waiting for the day where they come clean and say it's actually... Not only did it not do nothing, it actually was worse than doing nothing.
	Yeah.
	You'd have been better off licking Covid off of a pram handle.
	Okay.
	It's now official that 1 in 800 people who received the vaccine developed severe adverse events... This is in the Express.
	...or a disability.
	This isn't me saying this.
	No, it's the Express.
	This is the Express, as represented by... I'm gonna say... Yeah.
	Sir... George.
	No, St.
	George.
	Yes, St.
	George.
	St.
	George, I'd say.
	That's a sort of St.
	George.
	Turkish stroke English.
	Because there were those people that dressed up like that in the World Cup, weren't there?
	People don't like that.
	No, they didn't like it.
	What are you doing over here dressing the outfits you used to come here in to nick this country?
	That's right.
	Sorry about that.
	Sorry about that, mate.
	It's strange that we've still got a newspaper that looks like a representation of the Crusades, really, isn't it?
	You cannot have a country without tradition.
	A country is a tradition.
	You can't just say, we've got this country, it exists now, in the present, unless you're Taiwan and you're so Zen and Tao about it all.
	Well, what is Taiwan?
	There's no such thing as Taiwan.
	It's only a concept.
	Why should I get attached to a concept?
	Even talking to you now, this is happening in limitless space.
	Why should I take it seriously?
	Why should I participate in you narrativizing this conflict in order, ultimately, to serve the corporate interests that pay for your channel?
	Get off, get off!
	Could you look off to the right as if something bad's happening?
	No, you need Russell Brown for that.
	Not Will Arnett.
	He won't be able to.
	Focusing on the age group of 50 to 55 year olds who are being offered the vaccine, the data clearly shows that you need to vaccinate 40,000 of these people to prevent one hospitalisation from Covid, and hundreds of thousands of people to stop one person entering intensive care.
	Is that the end of the story by Professor Angus Darglish, formerly of Celtic and Liverpool?
	It's not him.
	Kenny Douglas, different people, different names, different jobs.
	Yeah, I guess the interesting thing about this is, and viewers may remember, this is something that we talked about several months ago.
	We saw an article on Substack.
	Yep, we had that ages ago on Substack.
	Who else did we talk about it with?
	This was with Alex Berenson, I think it was.
	Alex Berenson.
	Yeah, and this was pointed out in the very same article.
	The 1976 swine flu was withdrawn after it was associated with Gilliam-Barr syndrome at a rate of 1 in 100,000.
	In 1999, the rotavirus vaccine, Rotashield, was withdrawn following reports of an interception in about 1 or 2 in 10,000.
	So...
	Those vaccines were withdrawn for much higher odds.
	So there you go.
	It's not looking good.
	It's not looking good in the ongoing... Well, we're at a different phase of the argument, as Musk pointed out in his argument with the BBC, Covid's not a thing now.
	But what the phase we're in now is the sort of, forget about it phase, aren't we?
	Yeah, I mean...
	You know, we have differing views and things, but what I would suggest is that whether or not, I mean, I still think that headline of it's actually more harm than good, if it's 1 in 800, I don't know if that still quite adds up.
	1 in 800 is an adverse event or a disability or an injury, 40,000 in order to prevent one hospitalisation, I just think they're saying mathematically.
	You're more likely to experience an adverse event than you are to avoid hospitalisation.
	So I think it's just math.
	It's what Elon Musk is saying, and what he said to the BBC guy.
	He's like, we need access to the information.
	And if, you know, the mainstream aren't providing things that people have been talking about for months, then that is bad.
	That is bad.
	If we're the only place that people can hear these kind of truths, then they will come to us flocking, first of all, Because of my performance in Death Down the Nile.
	Mainly.
	But ultimately, uh... They'll stay for the truth.
	Yes.
	Come for the sideways looks.
	Stay for sweet lady truth.
	Listen, this is all good fun.
	This is how you want to spend your Fridays, over on Rumble.
	But now, we're going to have a look at a news story in depth.
	We're going to show you some media biases.
	We're going to show you some financial corruption.
	We're going to show you government ineptitude.
	All of this, while remaining in a state of good grace and good humour.
	Here's the news.
	No!
	Here's the effing news.
	Thank you for choosing Fox News.
	Here's the news.
	No.
	Here's the fucking news.
	They're back!
	The WHO are introducing a pandemic treaty that will mean they'll be able to take your tax dollars without listening to your opinion or giving you the chance to vote on it.
	Is that democracy?
	The WHO are composing a treaty that will entitle them to extract budgets from your country and impose countermeasures in the event of another pandemic.
	Tick tock, tick tock, should there be one?
	Never know, do your fingers crossed.
	Let's have a look at how the mainstream media are piping your mind full of dross about this subject right now.
	Negotiations on the first draft of a World Health Organization pandemic treaty.
	Pandemic treaty! It's not a good thing.
	Yes, I would agree that in the event of a global outbreak, a cohesive global response would be a good thing.
	I also imagine that transparency, democracy, clarity, communication,
	ensuring that no profiteering takes place, no overreach of surveillance,
	no overreach of government control.
	That'll be built right into this on the ground floor, won't it?
	You'll be discussing it publicly.
	That's all going to be part of this, surely.
	Set to open today in Geneva, the meeting of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body, or INB, is taking place over the course of this week.
	Intergovernmental body?
	Global conspiracy?
	Yeah, fair and equitable to all the countries that can afford them.
	Because remember, no matter how hard and strong they believed in the efficacy of that vaccine, they didn't believe that countries that couldn't pay for it should have it.
	That's interesting.
	You want to help people, but you only want to help Rich people?
	You only want to help profitable people but profit's not part of the motive?
	Let me just see if I can make sense of that.
	I can't.
	I just can't make sense of it because it doesn't make sense.
	The WHO wants to be allocated at least 20% of the global supply of vaccines, tests and other similar tools.
	What I like doing is granting incredible authority and power to unelected globalist bodies that are significantly funded by one organisation, in this case the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
	It might be inconvenient for you to know that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation are the second biggest contributor to the WHO.
	Although that doesn't sound great if you don't like to believe that very powerful rich individuals exert incredible control over undemocratic global organisations that now want to influence policy in your country, that might play into the hands of, I don't know, conspiracy theorists.
	But let me tell you what it is, a fact.
	As you know, there have been several reviews of the global response to the pandemic with many recommendations for strengthening global health security.
	They all recognize the need for better systems and tools.
	All these words and all this rhetoric is fair enough.
	And I bet the WHO aren't without merit.
	I'm sure they must have done something good somewhere at some time.
	And I bet if you spoke to people within it, they'd say, no, all we want to do is help nurses somewhere over here
	and help doctors in this area.
	I'm sure that they're not there like, we're doing some evil stuff.
	But the fact is, is that this rhetoric around we want a cohesive global response, that's all well and good, but you have to ensure that those kind of ideas aren't subject to potential corruption.
	That it doesn't end up meaning that big pharma companies are granted indemnity, don't have to be transparent about the results of their clinical trials.
	These are all actual stories, I'm not making this stuff up.
	So, in a sense, that rhetoric is correct, but are they able to deliver it when they are beholden to certain investors, with certain imperatives, with certain ties to the stock market, with certain relationships with pharmaceutical companies?
	The answer is, of course not.
	Of course not.
	Even where the system is operating within its own laws, it would be regarded as corrupt by any sane person because it doesn't grant transparency, it doesn't grant clarity, it doesn't grant democracy.
	If you're so confident that this is the right thing for the world, let people vote for it.
	Better financing including for global public goods such as vaccines.
	Legally binding instrument that people don't vote for?
	I'm not sure about that.
	finance WHO. To connect and underpin these ideas, I believe that time is right for an
	international treaty or other legally binding instrument."
	Legally binding instrument that people don't vote for? I'm not sure about that. Not after
	last time, because what we learned last time is even if you accept that the global response
	was undertaken with the best intentions, that the governments of the world want nothing
	but to protect their population, and the pharmaceutical companies want nothing but to provide effective,
	effective medicines. You remember Albert Baller at the beginning saying it would be inhumane
	to profit from such an endeavour as this.
	Even though they did profit, to a record degree, so you can do what you want with that apparent hypocrisy and contradiction, even if you believe that, you still have to accept that transparency and democracy have a role to play in this process.
	You don't want legally binding treaties imposed on sovereign nations that might advantage certain organisations, institutions, corporate entities, without being asked.
	It's called democracy.
	To provide the framework for a more coherent and coordinated response to future epidemics and pandemics.
	The pandemic has taught us many lessons.
	Yeah, don't trust anybody!
	The most important is that we're one species, sharing one planet.
	That isn't the lesson I learned.
	The lesson I learned is that the government have a kind of momentum to impose control.
	They now have relationships with big tech that mean that surveillance just seems like an irresistible option.
	And even when they pledge and promise not to use that surveillance to spy on you in other instances, they will end up doing that.
	That's been proven and demonstrated now that they like to regulate and legislate.
	And when it's convenient, they will celebrate health care workers.
	And then when it's necessary, we'll throw those same health care workers to the wolves As they're doing in this country.
	Junior doctors and nurses in my country striking right now.
	You know about the 34,000 people sacked in New York because they didn't want to take certain medications.
	What I also learned from it is Big Pharma will say whatever is necessary at the beginning of a pandemic to ensure the funding and contracts are granted, and then they will take the profits and justify it later.
	I learned a hell of a lot of things.
	What I learned was not, oh, we're all one little species and everyone like that.
	It should have been the message!
	I agree it should have been, but it wasn't, was it?
	It was there are an elite that will exploit us and they have friends in the media that will find either intellectual or populist ways of conveying that message in order to keep people compliant.
	That's what I learned.
	Let me know what you learned in the comments below.
	And we have no future, but a shared future.
	I thank you.
	Yesterday in Westminster Hall, that's our Congress or Parliament as we call it, MPs debated the pandemic prevention preparedness and response international agreement.
	This follows over 150,000 people signing a petition not to sign any WHO pandemic treaty unless it's approved via public referendum.
	People in our country now are afraid of referendums because sometimes people don't vote how the establishment want them to.
	In March 2021, world leaders, including Boris Johnson, announced the need for a treaty to enhance international pandemic cooperation.
	That's globalism.
	Enhanced pandemic cooperation means one centralised body is able to dictate a variety of responses across nations.
	In October, a WHO working group published a zero-draft report for consideration by the World Health Assembly, WHA, the WHO's decision-making body.
	As a result, the WHA convened a second special session in December where it established an intergovernmental negotiating body.
	Bloody hell, how many bodies and acronyms are they going to set up to mask the fact that we simply don't need them?
	To draft and negotiate the instrument with a view to its adoption under Article 19 of the WHO constitution.
	Article 19 of the WHO's constitution gives the WHA the authority to adopt conventions or agreements on any matter within WHO's competence.
	Let's have a look at some of the articles within this treaty, which, remember, is there to help you to save lives, to look after the elderly and vulnerable, and as our man up there just said, to have a cohesive response that demonstrates we're all one species, we're all in this together.
	Even though loads of people during the pandemic really, really suffered, there was a massive wealth transfer, pharmaceutical companies became richer, governments were able to surveil and regulate with impunity, and ordinary people, broadly speaking, by and large, suffered terribly.
	Article 7.3a in the draft report states, during inter-pandemic times, all parties will coordinate, collaborate, facilitate and incentivize manufacturers of pandemic-related products to transfer relevant technology and know-how to capable manufacturers and to address the need to develop new pandemic-related products in a short time frame.
	I hope that includes nations that can't afford to fund their own medicinal care, because if you believe in the efficacy of these products, You'll want the continent of Africa, for example, to have access to them.
	That's not how it played out in the last pandemic.
	That's why that continent had very, very low vaccination rates and therefore presumably an entirely different narrative when it comes to illness, sickness and death.
	Have a look yourself.
	As for the costs, Article 19 The 2019 1C of the draft report states,
	commit to prioritise and increase or maintain, including through greater collaboration
	between the health finance and private sectors as appropriate domestic funding by allocating
	in its annual budget, it's not lower than 5% of its current health expenditure
	to pandemic prevention, preparedness, response and health systems recovery.
	You've probably noticed in your own country that when it comes to healthcare,
	there's so much money sloshing about, you wanna grant a significant portion of that
	to an unelected body that is funded in significant parts by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
	So they can decide what to do with your money because you're too stupid.
	Let Bill Gates decide what you should do with your money.
	Why don't you give him all of it?
	Why don't you just go to work, then sit down and stare at a TV screen
	and ask Bill Gates what he wants.
	By God, he'll tell you on a range of subjects from medicines to farming to the acquisition of land.
	Bill Gates has got an opinion and he's also got your tax dollars
	to act on those opinions with.
	5% is roughly 7.5 billion pounds.
	The currency we use in our little old country for England and Wales is about half the general practice budget.
	That's your family doctor budget.
	In this country there's a crisis around family GPs or doctors, meaning that most people can't see a doctor when they need to.
	And obviously this will improve that radically, leading to more tension between poor people who have different colours and cultures so they can fight each other to the death.
	In a terrible Hunger Games-like spectacle, this is from The Telegraph, a sort of newspaper we have.
	On the 22nd of May, the World Health Organization met for the World Health Assembly.
	On the agenda was a pandemic accord that would greatly expand the WHO's power to intervene in a country in the event of a future outbreak.
	Expand their power to intervene, bypass democracy and even law.
	I'd be the first to say that your existing laws and government are not operating on your behalf significantly, but a globalist body, I would argue, will be Even less invested in your welfare, in spite of the rhetoric, because we've seen what's happened.
	We saw the wealth transfer, we saw the hypocrisy of not providing those medicines in countries that couldn't afford them.
	All of the reasons I keep giving you.
	The European Union pushed for a legally binding pandemic treaty instead But the accord would still have substantial force of international law behind it to make governments impose domestic lockdowns, for example, despite the WHO's own figures showing little correlation between lockdown severity and death rates.
	They haven't explicitly said that they will impose lockdowns, but they are saying they want the right to impose lockdowns, even though lockdowns, according to their own figures, were not that effective.
	Though some of the measures make sense, such as more sharing of vaccines with other countries, the plan skates around the WHO's errors during the COVID pandemic.
	Skates around them.
	That's not the way to get round things.
	Skates are, by their very nature, a dangerous means of travel.
	It ignored Taiwan's early alarm call, praised the Chinese government for its transparency at a time when it was denying human-to-human transmission and punishing whistleblowers, delayed declaring a health emergency, flip-flopped on masks and lockdowns, and mounted a farcical Potemkin investigation into the origin of the virus.
	Added to its poor performance in the 2014 Ebola outbreak, when for months the WHO resisted calls from doctors and NGOs to declare an emergency to avoid offending member governments, this track record does not inspire confidence.
	Does it inspire confidence in you?
	Do you want the WHO to be more powerful?
	Do you like organisations like the WEF, the WHO, the IMF, the World Bank?
	Organisations that you in part sometimes fund but have no control over?
	According to the meeting's agenda, the accord would be part of six action tracks focused on healthcare systems, zoonotic outbreaks, endemic tropical diseases, food safety, antimicrobial resistance and protecting the environment.
	What is missing from that list?
	Something the WHO itself and the US and other governments insist might well have been the cause of the COVID pandemic, namely a laboratory experiment gone wrong or a virus-hunting researcher infected while sampling bats in the field.
	And I suppose the reason it doesn't include that is because that's an inconvenient narrative that places the pharmaceutical industry at the middle of an investigation into the cause of pandemics.
	Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO Director General, said in July last year that it was premature to rule out a lab leak, a view echoed by the G7 summit in Cornwall.
	Since then, if anything, the evidence has grown stronger.
	Over the years, laboratory accidents have resulted in deaths of researchers and others from smallpox, anthrax, SARS and other pathogens.
	In one case, a global epidemic of flu resulted from a mistake with an experimental vaccine in China in 1977.
	In recent years, there was a dramatic increase in the number of coronaviruses taken from bat caves into labs for experiments, most of them in a city called Wuhan.
	What a coincidence.
	The experiments tested how easily the viruses could be induced to infect human cells.
	The results are in!
	Some scientists compared this to searching for a gas leak with a lighted match.
	So you might think the World Health Assembly might have put lab safety and transparency of research on the agenda at the very least.
	But nowhere are these even mentioned.
	Why do you imagine that is?
	Let me know in the chat in the comments.
	Why lab leaks and lab safety aren't on the agenda?
	Does that suggest some kind of partnership with the pharmaceutical industry?
	Does that suggest that some of their funding means that they can't agitate those kind of organisations?
	Let me know.
	Presumably, China would object.
	In February, the WHO held the third COVID-19 Global Research and Innovation Forum.
	In the titles of these 49 sessions, the word origin did not appear once.
	Though it has set up a committee, the WHO seems to be paying no more than lip service to its own commitment to investigating the possibility of a lab leak.
	Like some Western scientists, it may be hoping the question of the origin of this dreadful pandemic remains unsolved lest the answer ruffle diplomatic feathers.
	That would seem to be the only reason not to investigate the origin of a virus when knowing the origin might help you prevent future pandemics, which apparently is one of the things they're interested in.
	The Gates Foundation is the second largest contributor to the WHO.
	As of September 2021, it invested nearly $780 million in its programs.
	So there you go.
	Does that amount to influence?
	You decide.
	Let me know in the chat and comments.
	Whether or not Bill and Melinda Gates are truly philanthropic, doing things only out of kindness, or whether or not there is some influence that's exerted, have a look at some of Bill Gates' investments elsewhere and that will help you reach a conclusion.
	For an intergovernmental organisation such as the WHO to be so reliant on private philanthropy, especially one whose leaders have personal interests and investments in healthcare, is problematic.
	Yeah, because it could mean that they would influence the policy to be beneficial to their other interests in healthcare organisations and pharmaceutical companies, couldn't it?
	Let me know in the chat.
	Private foundations resources tend to be more dependent on the stock market and other investments and could have financial interests that run contrary to their state admissions.
	If you are a philanthropist, if you're a philanthropic organization, then you should be entirely detached, I would say, from the financial imperatives and incentives that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation apparently have here because otherwise you are living in a contradictory space.
	When the WHO was formed as an intergovernmental organisation, it would have been unimaginable that a private foundation could have such influence, said Lawrence Gostin, faculty director of the O'Neill Institute at Georgetown University.
	It would enable a single rich philanthropist to set the global health agenda.
	And there you have it.
	Perhaps the reason you cannot have referendums, votes, democracy around this issue is it would prevent the will and perspective of powerful individuals who want to lead the response to future pandemics from being enacted.
	So there's just a few things to look at there.
	Why in the last pandemic Were medicines not shared with poor nations?
	Why are they so resistant to transparency in a referendum?
	Why are they not looking into the lab leak theory as a possible source of the virus in the first place?
	And why are they accepting funding from a single individual who has investments that ultimately amount to a conflict of interest?
	And does this mean But that's just what I think.
	Let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
	world where important decisions on the health of an entire nation are made by
	potentially by individuals with a vested interest in particular outcomes with
	financial investments in particular products with essentially an agenda. I
	think that any WHO policy should be subject to a referendum.
	You should vote on whether or not your country takes up that policy or is
	included in that mandate or not. But that's just why I think let me know
	what you think in the comments in the chat I'll see you in a second.

	Can you hear that?
	That's the sound of youth returning.
	If you're going to deal with a reality of that nature, you are going to need to explore the deep, potentially limitless, inner psychic realms.
	And who better to do that with than me?
	Except for possibly my guest now.
	Spiritual teacher, breathwork coach, best-selling author, recent mother, my friend, Star of a community festival, join us this year, mid-July.
	Biet will be joining us again, along with Eddie Stern and Wim Hof and Vandana Shiva and... Who's that one I'm excited about?
	Satish Kumar.
	Loads of fantastic people.
	And Biet, who just blew people's minds last time.
	We were peeling people off the floor after they did breathwork with Biet.
	Biet, thanks for joining me today.
	Wow, you look great!
	Oh, thank you.
	Nice to see you.
	Are you OK?
	I'm sorry?
	I've missed you.
	Are you all right?
	I'm good.
	I've missed you, too.
	I gave birth to a baby, so I had a little, you know, sojourn into the cosmic realm.
	What was it like to give birth to that baby?
	It's really the most surreal thing you'll ever do.
	I mean, you've done it from the other side twice already, so you kind of know, but it's very strange being the pod through which this being comes from what seemingly outer space onto the planet.
	Suddenly a being.
	Are you having a nice time?
	Are you getting on well with this new being?
	She's really wonderful, yeah.
	Congratulations.
	Well done, Biette.
	Thanks.
	Congratulations to you and to your family.
	Hey, so, Biette, like today we've been talking about the power of the military-industrial complex and how America requires ongoing war in order to function.
	One of the things I enjoyed most about today's show was watching a mainstream media reporter from, I think, ABC News in Taiwan talking to Taiwanese people.
	And where it's like a Taoist country, the reporter's going, Hey, are you worried about this war?
	And they're like, well, there's not really anything I can do about it.
	They were talking about it like they are connected to an inner psychic realm that prevents them from being stimulated into a place of total manipulation.
	How can we, those of us that have been schooled in materialism and individualism, who have had our fear and desire stoked and agitated for our whole lives, Access the necessary resources of sanguinity, peace, and quiet power within, Biette.
	How can we?
	Is it simply by having severe bangs?
	Are you talking about great sex?
	No, I meant your fringe.
	Bangs, I meant your fringe.
	Although, great sex... I'm like, well, great sex is definitely up there in terms of healing the problem.
	You just... I agree!
	You'll have great bangs.
	I would agree with that.
	Actually, thinking about it, it would be more effective than a haircut.
	I completely concur.
	But... I'm so vain, I'll take both, you know?
	Yeah, why not?
	They're not mutually exclusive.
	Have a really nice haircut and have fantastic sex.
	What's the big deal?
	Exactly, exactly.
	That'll solve the world's problems.
	Temporarily, temporarily it will.
	But aside from haircuts and sex, are there spiritual techniques accessible to our viewers?
	Although they can also get, you know, haircuts and have sex if they want as well.
	It's so interesting, because the truth is, is like, you could be completely asleep to the problem.
	You know, many Americans are, many people are, they're asleep to that there even is a problem.
	And not just in the world, and in Taiwan, and in Ukraine, they're asleep to the fact that there's any problem in their own life.
	And so they're doing many things to sedate themselves, whether it be food, or drugs, or porn, or whatever they're doing to numb themselves.
	But the truth is, is that if you told someone who's asleep in that situation, oh, well, you know, you're asleep in a situation, they'll tell you, I don't have a problem.
	I'm fine.
	So it kind of starts with, and I think many of your watchers and listeners will agree, they've noticed something's wrong.
	Like they felt that something is awry and they want to solve a problem.
	Once you want to solve a problem, you're already on your way to seeking a spiritual solution, because I have found in my work That there is only one solution, and it is spiritual.
	There's only one solution to all of these problems.
	I think you're right about that.
	We try to solve them.
	Sometimes I try to solve them one by one.
	Like, okay, maybe I can generate revenue, or I can accumulate reputation, or I can exercise Petty power.
	But actually, none of those things work.
	So in the end, you've got no choice but to fall backwards into the arms of God.
	That can be difficult if you've only ever been attuned to the dominator culture's matrix.
	So, like, you, like me, have been a drug addict.
	That temporarily can work, but it's not a long-term solution.
	What techniques are you using to keep yourself awake but also connected?
	You know it's interesting that you talk about all those other things like seeking wealth or seeking reputation because actually in my journey I was seeking enlightenment for so long and seeking that freedom, that feeling of peace and ease and in my seeking I kept having these white light experiences and each time I had a white light experience I was like That's it.
	I've done it.
	I've evolved.
	I'm better than everyone.
	I'm finally free.
	I know you're familiar with that feeling.
	And then, I know you are.
	You're totally familiar with the feeling of wind blowing through your hair and knowing who you are, remembering the meaning of it all.
	But it's always followed by yet more flaws, more wars, more problems.
	Like it's not like as soon as I found enlightenment then the world just became perfect, I became perfect.
	And so I've actually constructed a new definition of enlightenment if I may share it with you today.
	I think it's super fun and I find it really helpful with the situation.
	Yeah, so go on.
	Yeah, so to me it's like the way that we've been sold enlightenment thus far is that you reach it and once you do,
	you feel peaceful and neutral, like the people, the Taiwanese people that you interviewed, you're neutral
	forever.
	You're like, yeah, maybe there's a war, maybe there's not a war, whatever, right?
	But to me, it's like, I don't know, I mean, I'm neurotic, I'm very filled with desire, I lust for life, I have a lot of ambition, and so what I've noticed is that actually, for me, that never happened.
	It wasn't just, I'm nothing, I'm neutral forever.
	I could run through the wind with enlightenment, but then it was always followed by a yearning to create stuff.
	And to do things.
	So I created this wheel.
	My friend Arjuna went around and interviewed brilliant people.
	And he wrote a book about radical brilliance.
	And inside of that I meditated on that for years.
	And what came to me is that his wheel, or that description, is the meaning of enlightenment.
	The meaning of enlightenment is actually a turning, a movement.
	So it's designed like a clock.
	So 12 o'clock is enlightenment.
	It's that feeling when you remember who you truly are.
	You're filled with grace.
	You're filled with peace, ease.
	And then that's followed by three o'clock, which again, for many of us who are especially very egoic, like myself, like three o'clock, I'm like, wait a minute, where did enlightenment go?
	I want enlightenment.
	But no, it's followed by work.
	So three o'clock is creative flow.
	It's where you go do some shit. You create something, you start a company, you make a record, you shoot a film, you
	write a book, whatever you're doing inside of Creative Flow.
	Maybe even make a baby.
	And then Creative Flow is led by number 6 o'clock, right?
	We're looking at a clock. 6 o'clock is ambition and, you know, getting out into the world and sharing it.
	So you create a podcast, you create spreadsheets, you have to earn some money, you gotta get some funding, you need to do marketing events or meet with people or have coffees and lunches.
	All these things don't feel like enlightenment at all.
	You just said that.
	It's like, well, sometimes I pursue this, sometimes I pursue that, right?
	And so then we're followed by nine o'clock.
	9 o'clock is humility.
	It's where you're struck in the face that you're on a planet, hurtling towards death, and you get an email, you didn't get the funding you wanted, or you get an email that says, no, that this company doesn't want that, and that person doesn't want that, or they're shutting this down, and everything you wanted is not working your way.
	And if you're like me, and you're still filled with desire, you're like, fuck!
	You know?
	And you feel upset.
	You're hurt.
	And if you're like me, you fall to the ground on your knees and you pray.
	And you say, I don't fucking know what's going on.
	I'm nobody.
	I am nothing.
	I have no idea.
	Just help me.
	Just remind me of what's going on here.
	Remind me of who I am.
	Fill me with grace.
	And let me remember.
	And then boom.
	12 o'clock.
	Enlightenment.
	And so the wheel just keeps churning and churning.
	And once my definition of enlightenment changed to that wheel, I felt at ease whenever I was in other epochs.
	So, like, if I was doing spreadsheets, I was like, whatever, I'm gonna be moving towards having my ass kicked in humility any minute now!
	Or, like, when I was, like, on a stage in front of thousands of people, I was like, I'm a total loser, too, because I know 9 o'clock's coming, or I know 3 o'clock's coming.
	And it all feels much more integrated for me today.
	I'm sick of 9 o'clock.
	Are you now?
	Yeah!
	I don't want no more 9 o'clock.
	I like 12 o'clock.
	3 o'clock was alright.
	As was 6 o'clock.
	9 o'clock, I didn't like it.
	Yeah, I mean, that's the thing.
	Well, no, I actually love it now, because the distance has changed.
	Like, I used to work so hard, every time I'd get to nine o'clock, I was like, something's wrong, I'm not enlightened anymore, who is this Biette Simkin who's traveled so far, and her whole family died, and she's overcome heroin addiction, and she went from poverty to wealth, and wow!
	What a fucking, like, Fuck you, number nine o'clock, you know?
	But then, it dawned on me that what if nine o'clock is just my little, bzzz, my little alarm clock to go humble again?
	My little, mmm, that's right, I'm missing something, I'm missing something.
	Alright then, alright, what, then, why don't we stay at nine o'clock?
	I mean, in some way, I kinda do, but it is fun to do all the other parts, isn't it?
	Isn't it fun to run through the wind remembering who you are, and connecting with souls that you really respect, and being at a beautiful banquet with candlelight, and eating delicious food, or making love to your partner?
	Like, that's important too!
	Like, making a baby and seeing her wonderful face, that's also important.
	I don't need to be at 9 o'clock 24 hours a day to remember that I'm hurtling towards death and that this is all...
	A giant chaotic mess.
	And also, what if that's the way that I wanted it?
	You know, like in that movie, The Matrix, I remember there's a part where they said we designed a perfect world for them, but they hated it.
	They wanted a fucked up place to live where everything was wrong.
	They can't be in charge.
	They're meant to be in the Matrix, doing as they're bloody well told.
	All right, Biet, shall we do some, uh, breathwork?
	I have got an area set up over there.
	Dan, why don't you show our viewers that I've got an area?
	Biet, you won't be able to see that because you're not watching this on telly, because you are on the telly, and that's just how life works.
	But, see?
	I've got an area there.
	Biet, do you think I should go over to the area?
	I do.
	I hope that they're filming you and they'll film me.
	I'll guide this at home.
	You will be being filmed like that, how you are, which I like.
	I like that fireplace, I like that window, I like that TV screen.
	This is my house.
	Welcome to my house.
	Thanks.
	I like your house.
	It looks like it's about three o'clock there.
	It's like three o'clock.
	Listen, it's six in the morning today, which is basically when we started this whole thing.
	There was a two-month-old screaming her head off, a four-year-old talking about who knows what while she put on her, like, ribbons in her hair to head out to have some waffles with her dad and a nanny.
	I mean, it was a total chaos.
	So, you know, that's what I'm creating here is a world that it's always happening.
	It's always changing.
	Yeah, I know.
	I stay the same.
	You keep going around that clock, right?
	I'm going to go over there now, then, to that area, and we will do some breathwork together.
	Now, I'm going to warn you, if you've not done breathwork with Biet before, or breathwork of any type before, don't do it if you're, for example, in command of a fighter jet, and you're about to, say, drop bombs above the Black Sea.
	Or, if you're in Vegas, operating a drone.
	If you're involved in any of the machinations of the military-industrial co- Well, actually, do do it, but stop Stop running the machine.
	Step away from the machine and do it.
	And if you are working for the mainstream media, you should definitely do it.
	Whoever you are.
	If you're a member of our community, if you're someone that's going to come to Community Live in July, you should do it.
	I'm going to move over there to what I'm calling my special little area.
	And give it a go over here.
	Right.
	I'm here, surrounded by wicker and rattan.
	All right, so, Biette, can you see me?
	Yes, I can.
	Um, not in an avatar way, not in a I-see-you way, just in a literal way.
	Um, can we, like, uh, do you want me to sit on my knees or on my ass?
	How?
	Uh, please get into Japanese sitting pose, which is where your feet are underneath your butt.
	So for anyone watching, do what Russell is doing.
	And, yeah, we're gonna do three rounds of breath, Back and forth.
	And we're going to do the first three rounds.
	Now this guided by Biette breath work is really phenomenal because it's not work.
	It's not something you actually have to work hard at.
	It takes three minutes, which Russell will happily attest to.
	He's done it with me millions of times at this point.
	We've come together to do this.
	It takes three minutes, right?
	So the goal is you can do this in the middle of your day.
	You could do it at three o'clock.
	You could do it at six o'clock.
	You definitely should do it at nine o'clock.
	And at 12 o'clock you don't even need to do it because, hell, you're at 12 o'clock.
	So the goal is to just get on your knees, put your hands to the right and left side
	of your chest, right?
	Yeah, you can have them a little higher, that's fine.
	The goal of your hands is so that you don't fall and hit your face if you do pass out
	or faint or momentarily lose consciousness.
	And you really want to remember that the way this works is that what you feel, that how
	you feel is right after that moment.
	So we're going to inhale one, like this, into the mouth, deeply, deeply inhaling, like this.
	And then we're going to exhale.
	And we're going to do three rounds of those.
	On the fourth one, Russell, you can maybe show everybody, you'll come up as you inhale.
	Inhale, then you puff your belly out like you're pregnant and look up at the ceiling above you,
	holding the breath, hold the breath, hold the breath, hold the breath,
	and your eyes can be open for this.
	Hit the chest, release the air, and come down exactly like Russell is doing.
	Hopefully you're waiting till you get all the instructions at home
	because you really wanna make sure that you are doing this correctly before you start.
	So three rounds, always through the mouth, deeply inhaling, deeply exhaling.
	On the fourth one, come up on the knees, hold the breath, hold the breath, hit the chest, release the air only once you hit the chest, and come down.
	Now, what I want to recall is very important, is relaxation.
	You're going to feel at some points that maybe this is like a yoga pose, and you want to get vinyasa about it.
	Don't do that.
	You really want to relax your body as much as possible.
	And I'll be here to remind you as we go.
	Russell, do you feel like that's enough information and we can move forward into the actual practice?
	Yes, I always find it helpful to push my, when I do this with other people, I tell them to push their chin up when they're in the up position of the inhale.
	I tell them to bring their mindfulness to pushing their belly out when they're at the end of the inhale and to really relax on the exhale.
	Tell them that focusing to that degree has the added advantage of stopping you thinking about whether or not your parents love you, or if you're a good enough parent, or whether or not Taiwan are going to be the next target for a proxy war with a neighboring superpower.
	Well, you know, I would love it if you just came on tour with me, like, whenever I am, so you could just follow up with those extra details, because it just makes it all the better having you here to help me explain it.
	We'll do it at Community.
	When you do it at Community, I will do that.
	We'll do it together.
	Yeah.
	Fuck yeah.
	Yeah, come join us at Community, so you can see us guiding this together.
	All right, everyone.
	Getting ready, hands up.
	Setting an intention with the first breath, just that you have a completely open mind to have a new experience with breath work and with this moment.
	Okay, begin.
	Inhale one through the mouth.
	And release.
	Inhale two through the mouth, even deeper.
	And release.
	Three, inhale, relax more.
	And release.
	Or come up on the knees as you inhale.
	Hold the breath.
	Belly out.
	Chin up.
	Hold the breath.
	Hold the breath.
	And then hit the chest.
	Just calm down.
	Dan, you should get some shots from around here because it looks really cool.
	You can see the dog in the background, you can see Biette.
	Looks like she's got like little robot legs because of the monitor and stuff.
	I do have robot legs.
	I bet you've got robot legs.
	You're the sort of person who would have robot legs.
	Yeah, I've got robot everything.
	I just have enlightenment inside.
	Come on then, take a swig from your spiky cup, and then do another round of that breath work.
	Okay, this next round, let's set an intention.
	Are you comfortable bringing your hands together in prayer for a moment?
	I like it.
	And this isn't a denominational prayer, this isn't to any particular god, this is actually just that trinity of connecting to that inner self that knows all, and just asking it to help you today.
	So if you're at home listening, you know, just say, please help me.
	You could whisper it to yourself or say it internally with the mind's eye.
	And with that help, bringing the hands out, hands to either side of the body, getting really focused, and let's begin.
	Inhale one through the mouth.
	And release.
	Even deeper, relax more.
	Release.
	Three.
	Release.
	Deepest breath yet.
	Inhale four.
	Come up.
	Belly out.
	Chin up.
	Hold the breath.
	And hit the chest.
	Just calm down.
	Alright.
	It's time to go to sleep.
	Alright.
	If you're feeling this at home, just remember you are safe.
	Nothing's happening to you.
	You're just remembering who you are.
	Not who you're not, but who you are when you're in a state of awakeness.
	Let's do the final round.
	I've got to go back to my little chair.
	Okay.
	Do you want to do that one seated?
	Also, like I want to, I think it's important to, it might not be important, I'm going to point out that when you do stuff like this, in a way, the accompaniment to the ongoing critiques that we offer of establishment power have to be accompanied with a personal
	awakening and personal change. Sometimes It's possible that you're all in the base fabric of reality, or at least reality as we understand reality.
	But yeah, we'll do the last round over on locals exclusively for our locals community.
	Some of them are joining me now.
	Look at this.
	They love it.
	These guys love it.
	They love it.
	They're sending us a lot of love.
	Yeah, because you want to remember what the purpose of being on this planet is, right?
	Like it's all, it's really messed up here.
	So if you can't remember, you're just going to feel so overwhelmed and afraid.
	So we'll wrap up.
	You can join us on Locals for one more round.
	You can find out more about Biette by going to biettesimkin.com.
	We'll post the link in the chat now.
	You can see Biette.
	She's joining me for Community 2023, July the 14th to 17th in Hay-on-Wye if we live that long.
	You can get tickets from russellbrand.com.
	Next week we're going to be joined by Barry Weiss from the Twitter files.
	What was I nearly saying there?
	Total files.
	And you can sign up to Locals to get like exclusive Q&As, do extra meditations like the one with me and Biette.
	Join me for a guided meditation and even choose a guided meditation and do one personally with me.
	Today I did one with a lady called Noelle who's facing an important decision and she wanted some guidance and we did a meditation around that and I feel like it helped, at least she said it did.
	You can check that out as well.
	Join us next week on Stay Free with Russell Brand, not for more of the same but for more of the different.
	If you're joining us on Locals you can see a little bit more of this content but if not, stay free.
	Until next week!
	Stay awake!
	Stay connected!
	Stay free!
