	In this video, you're going to see the future.
	I'm gonna go get my car.
	In this video, you're going to see the future.
	So you Awakening Wonders, thanks for joining me, Russell Brand, on Stay Free with Russell Brand.
	We've got an incredible show for you today.
	Tucker is on Twitter, he's already been viewed by 50 million of you.
	So is this new experiment in media going to succeed if they can get Ron DeSantis on there?
	If they can get Tucker on there, if they can interview RFK on there, is this a meaningful platform?
	Do platforms like this one, Rumble and Twitter, mean that free speech will be protected?
	Let us know your views right now.
	If you're watching us on YouTube, we're only going to be on YouTube for the first 15 minutes.
	If you're watching us on Twitter, we're only going to be on Twitter for the first 15 minutes, not for free speech reasons on Twitter.
	Oh Elon, our man Elon, he loves the free speech, but when it comes to free speech, the OG was Rumble, right?
	We was free-speeching when he was just flying kites up into the sky to harness the power of electricity like Dr. Frankenstein before him.
	It was our idea, free speech.
	We came up with that.
	We were speaking freely.
	You probably texted him it.
	Of course I did, I've been texting him.
	One of your early morning texts.
	Tulsi Gabbard was meant to be on the show, she changed her mind.
	She changed it!
	No, she was busy with some... She changed it!
	...military-related matter.
	Uh-oh, well, matter of priorities, I suppose.
	What's more important, talking to us?
	Or this military-related matter.
	National security.
	It's up to you.
	You decide.
	Let us know in the comments and chat.
	You can watch us on Locals right now.
	Press the red button on your screen.
	Get in there.
	Superbowl-type ratings for Tucker.
	Says G Held and Georgia Gout.
	Oh, here we go.
	Lime Cordial and Fizzy Water.
	What the hell are you talking about?
	They just discuss whatever they want in that chat, but by God, it's free.
	You can't control them and we wouldn't want to.
	I'll text Elon in a second.
	I will.
	I will do it.
	I will do it live.
	I'll do it live!
	Oh, I can't press that thing.
	So listen, but once we leave YouTube, we are going to be talking about a new story that suggests that the, you know lockdown, you know quarantines, were the benefits little more than a bloody drop in the bucket?
	Allegedly!
	Well, you're posing a question there, so I think you're fine.
	Allegedly!
	Let me finish my question.
	Let me finish my question.
	My question is, were they a drop in a bucket?
	Okay?
	That's what I'm saying.
	Yeah, this is a phrase you've learnt today, isn't it?
	What, drop in a bucket?
	Yeah, you like it.
	It didn't used to be a phrase.
	It used to be drop in the ocean.
	Right.
	Drop in a bucket.
	A bucket is a very small contained thing in itself.
	I don't think it's a good pairing to the drop.
	You know?
	No.
	A drop in the ocean, fair enough.
	Yep.
	A drop in a bucket, but that's what they said.
	And you can't, you know, free speech!
	Free speech!
	What are you going to do?
	Stop them mangling their metaphors?
	No.
	No.
	Let them say what they want.
	Let them freely speak.
	Unlike old QAnon shaman, he's out of prison and he's selling yoga leggings now.
	Of course he is.
	One thing about QAnon shaman, he's pretty good looking, wasn't he?
	Some good grounding going on.
	Look at his railings.
	Look at the nashes.
	Absolutely terrific.
	I've never seen teeth like it.
	He's beautiful.
	He's like Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool manager.
	Beautiful, gorgeous teeth, lovely.
	I wonder if it was his idea to wear that, or one of the 100 to 200 FBI members who were allegedly at January 6th.
	Allegedly!
	I reckon that QAnon shaman came along with mild curiosity on January the 6th, like barely any enthusiasm for the event.
	Then perhaps, well, we can find out because later on in the show we'll be talking once more to Stephen Friend, FBI whistleblower.
	He was on the show yesterday, enjoyed it so much that he's back again with some interesting new insights that he thought were not appropriate to make yesterday, but he's willing to make now, now that we've bonded.
	So Stephen Friend will be...
	Join us again.
	There's some QAnon merch if you want.
	There's some leggings and I think Bad Graphics Jack has created an image of me wearing them with the minimal effort and sloppy delivery that those of you familiar with his work will recognize by now.
	Skin tones, no effort to match that.
	Odd choice of photograph.
	All very, very peculiar.
	Yeah, you're in a strange mood in that photo.
	Listen, that's not the mood you'd be in if you decided to dress up as the QAnon Shaman, well not dress up as the QAnon, celebrate him in his merch.
	I feel like the QAnon Shaman, there's a lot of dispute around Tucker Carlson's footage, the thousands of hours of footage that he showed that appeared at points to demonstrate that various officials ushered in particular the QAnon Shaman into the Capitol.
	I didn't see any footage of him looking anything other than an absolute sweetheart, did you?
	Like, I'm not saying that people didn't do bad things, people had those zip ties or whatever, and there was a lot of excitement and hijinks, I'd say, at very minimum, and violence at worst, certainly on behalf of the Capitol Police, that's a matter of record, as well as, as we've demonstrated and as these FBI whistleblowers have revealed, the numerous deep state operatives.
	Yeah, I mean, I think that's the thing about the footage, isn't it?
	One of the things that probably Tucker felt was so important at the time was that the footage that was emerging and that they didn't want to show, we know that some of it was because there were so many Secret Service agents in the crowds that they didn't want to give their identities away.
	And if you get to a point where you're like, there's like hundreds of Secret Service in the crowds, now people are thinking, well, what role did they play in potentially instigating Let me know in the chat what you think the role of the Deep State was on January the 6th.
	Have the mainstream media exploited the event to create new legislation around protest laws, new funding around the Capitol, or was it a scar on America's democracy as many have said?
	One of the worst events since 9-11 I think some people said.
	Later on in the show we'll be talking about Apple's Vision Pro headset As Apple attempts to conquer reality in ways that Facebook simply could not.
	And we're talking about Apple's unique position.
	If Apple were a nation, it would be the eighth biggest nation in the world.
	Wow.
	Bigger even than Belgium.
	Wow.
	One of the best countries that Hergé... But it's Hergé's country, that's it.
	Hergé de Bruyne.
	Your boys took one hell of a beating.
	Let's have a look at Tucker on Twitter yesterday.
	Rolling Stone have already said that it was a slim, sexy shadow of his form.
	No, a sad shadow of his primetime production.
	That's the first time they've ever said anything nice about his primetime production.
	Yep.
	They never used to like it.
	No.
	Over at Rolling Stone.
	No.
	Oh dear, I remember when you guys used to be cool.
	All right, let's have a look at Tucker in action on Twitter.
	As of today, we've come to Twitter, which we hope will be the shortwave radio under the blankets.
	We're told there are no... Weird thing for him to say.
	A shortwave radio under a blanket?
	Well, that's an odd image, Tucker.
	Yeah.
	Buckets?
	Blankets?
	What's going on today?
	Everyone's gone back into sort of like American pastorialism, right?
	Sort of like this weird circle-your-wagons frontier spirit.
	Well, can't start calling each other varmints and it's a drop in the bucket and get under your blanket.
	Maybe it's the future.
	You want to get in on this.
	It's the future now, right?
	Oh, it kicks off.
	Okay, you yellow-belly, liver-leathered varmints, yeah?
	Here's some bloody well news.
	Gatekeepers here.
	If that turns out to be false, we'll leave.
	But in the meantime, we are grateful to be here.
	We'll be back with much more very soon.
	Nice.
	There you go.
	There it is.
	I mean, obviously the media landscape is radically shifting, and I suppose for us it's a good thing.
	Even when there are people who have different political heritage to you and a different political perspective, surely all of us advocate for free speech, except for where free speech intersects or crosses over with things that are already a crime, like instigating violence that's already a crime, suggesting other criminal activity.
	Those things are covered elsewhere, but other than those examples, you want...
	Talking a lot about the military-industrial complex, which I think he should be allowed to talk about.
	Should be able to talk about that.
	A lot of people are saying, like, look at Irishman007.
	Jack could learn a few things from Tucker's graphics.
	Yes, he could.
	I hope you studied that about graphics, Jack.
	Is his backdrop like ours?
	Has he stolen our backdrop?
	He's gone for the corner.
	He's gone for the window.
	Oh my word.
	Tucker, you Christian plagiarist you.
	Let's have a look.
	Let's have a look at our backdrop.
	Can I go full screen on ours just for a second on that shot?
	It's the same windows.
	Is he actually in here right now?
	Mind you, we did have a little look at Crowder's, didn't we?
	Let's be fair.
	Let's be fair.
	It's the circle, the circle of life.
	Let's own it.
	Shall we have a look at some Dystopian?
	Before getting into Apple and Apple's attempt to conquer reality by giving you a pair of silly swimming goggles that prevent you from making eye contact with your offspring, claiming it's going to somehow be good for your family, let's look at how Dystopia engulfs us in other ways.
	That is when Jack used to make good graphics, way back when Jack made good graphics.
	The Pentagon admitted spending $1 billion per year on killer death rays.
	Killer death rays?
	That doesn't sound like a good product.
	Have you got any more information on that, Gareth?
	Yeah, so they're spending roughly a billion dollars of taxpayer money on research into laser beam and microwave directed energy weapons.
	So this could have unlimited ammunition, be cheaper than regular weapons apparently, melt steel and even make it possible to intercept and take down nuclear missiles if they were fired at the US.
	So it sounds good.
	It does sound good.
	In theory.
	It's one of the best killer def rays that money can buy.
	Right, apparently though they're less effective in fog or storms and could pose the risk of indiscriminately harming both friend and foe in close proximity to the weapons.
	You don't need to worry about the indiscriminate destruction of friends and foe.
	There's no precedent for people being bombed willy-nilly by friendly fire and collateral
	damage in every single war there's ever been.
	And if that's not enough dystopian news for you, our country, the United Kingdom, are
	upgrading their Skynet satellite system.
	They're trying to make it sound like it's not bad, but they've called it Skynet, and
	even in their attempt to sort of paliate and appease us.
	They've said like, oh no, Skynet, all it is, is a satellite system that allows everyone to be interconnected and use weapons simultaneously.
	I mean, what is it?
	What was their statement?
	Yeah, so yeah, in the newspaper article this was, uh, thankfully it doesn't have anything to do with killer robots.
	In the Terminator series, Skynet was built as a military defense network initially, rather like the existing Skynet program.
	Okay, there's your first issue.
	Instead, the Ministry of Defence wants to upgrade its military satellites to provide better communication to the UK's armed forces and allies in NATO and elsewhere.
	Ah, our allies in NATO.
	We'd like to reassure you, all we're doing is following almost line by line, page by page, the actual script from Terminator.
	What the hell are you worried about?
	And there he is, Arnie, in his glorious incarnation as that robot.
	As the head of NATO.
	I'll be back.
	In fact, I probably won't leave because we don't hold elections.
	I'll be on your borders.
	I'll be infringing the Balkans.
	We'll be creeping slowly into former Soviet territories.
	I'm going to need your F-16s.
	Yeah, it's quite good.
	You can join in if you want.
	Join us over in locals and do quotes of Arnie, but in this new context, where's the head of NATO?
	Come on, why don't you write the script if it's so easy?
	Hey, guess what?
	Elon's plowing forward with the old monkey mind.
	Neuralink have got FDA approval and the FDA, you'll remember those guys, they're, well, I mean, you do know that.
	Is it 70% of their funding or 40% of their funding they get from pharmaceutical industry?
	Yeah, I think it's higher now.
	I think it's escalating all the time.
	And often, since they changed their funding model, they're a lot more likely to pass new medicines and drugs first time round.
	That's one of the things that was noticed.
	But it's interesting, Elon Musk was probably speaking, he's a free speech hero, but Neuralink, I don't know about Neuralink's sort of odd wheelbarrow of qualities, isn't there like claims that it can heal obesity, heart disease, mind cancer, and then didn't they say like at the last minute also it's So it's a range of conditions that he's looking to cure, including obesity, autism, depression, and schizophrenia, and to enable web browsing and telepathy, which seems like odd add-ons, I would suggest.
	Right, because let's go through them.
	Obesity, you can see, like, obesity is rising.
	Good thing to help with obesity by, like, just in the middle of your neuralink mind, you'll be like, hey, hang about.
	Whoa!
	Steady.
	Put it down!
	Have you had enough?
	No.
	Right, so that's that.
	And then... No!
	And then, what was the next one?
	Depression.
	Cheer up!
	It's alright!
	What are you so worried about?
	Playable fish in the sea, etc?
	Things might improve.
	I hope you're not providing the voice.
	I'm doing the voice for you.
	I've offered that.
	That's why I've got a text deal on right now.
	I've got a few more suggestions like these.
	I've been a bit down in the dumps.
	You pop up in my heads.
	Hello!
	Are you alright, mate?
	What's up?
	What's wrong?
	What are you doing here?
	I'm just popping in.
	Come on.
	Don't be down.
	You're a good looking lad.
	What's the matter?
	Come on.
	Take your top off.
	What's the next condition?
	We've got schizophrenia.
	Don't be silly, you're just one bloke.
	What are you thinking?
	You can't be two people, although identity is complex.
	It's a complex range of identities that all of us experience.
	I myself have suffered from a variety of bipolar-like conditions.
	So anyway, cheer up and concentrate.
	Right, OK.
	Web browsing.
	What do you want?
	Come on, it's porn, isn't it?
	Let's cut to the chase.
	We might as well go straight to porn.
	And then we'll finally... Telepathy.
	We're talking to Dickie Dawkins, Richard Dawkins, the world's best atheist.
	Hang on, is this still going on inside my mind?
	This is still in your mind.
	I'm doing some ads now.
	How do you think we find all this?
	In your mind, gal!
	Dickie Dawkins, Richard Dawkins, the world's best atheist.
	It'll be on tomorrow and I'll be talking to him about telepathy.
	Sorry for making light of mental illnesses there.
	Yeah, it was all done in a spirit of good fun.
	Free speech, baby!
	Free speech!
	But just a little warning about NewerLink.
	So yeah, all in all the company has killed about one and a half thousand animals, including more than 280 sheep, pigs and monkeys following experiments since 2018.
	I can do that at will. Give us a rumble!
	For heaven's sakes.
	So yeah, all in all the company has killed about one and a half thousand animals including more than 280 sheep, pigs
	and monkeys following experiments since 2018.
	So, you know. Not nice.
	I'm not sure.
	Nice to do that.
	I like animals.
	Musk said in December he'll be ready for human trials within six months and that he was so confident in it that he would like to see implants in his children.
	And he said he'd have it, didn't he?
	He did, yeah.
	Give him his kids.
	He's already given that lad, the monkey there.
	Yeah, the monkey's dead now.
	Him there with the other lad.
	He's dead, isn't he, sadly?
	Yeah, he's dead.
	Mind you, it's what he would have wanted.
	He had a good time playing Pong and sucking down them banana milkshakes like he was in Bod.
	There's a reference.
	You're not going to make that in the jungle, are you?
	Good luck playing Pong in the jungle, mate.
	You'll be out there.
	All free with all your other monkey mates.
	Never mind, that's boring.
	Competing for a place in a strict hierarchy where violence dominates and complex systems of alliances where you may not even get to mate.
	You can play Pong, mate.
	Ding!
	Ding!
	Oh, that didn't go very well.
	Oh no, my mind!
	Right.
	Oh, I can hear Russell Brand in my monkey mind.
	What's that dead sheep over there?
	Don't worry about him.
	He's none of your business.
	Cheer up.
	Cheer up.
	He was in a wolf.
	It was a sheep in wolf's clothing.
	Listen, he's fine.
	He'll be okay.
	All right.
	Well, that's bit of news.
	Hey, what about our whistleblowers?
	Right.
	Let's get him on because we had a whistleblower.
	Oh no, free speech.
	Listen, we stand for one thing and that's free speech.
	When freedom meets speech, you get freech.
	Freech.
	Where freedom and speech meet, you get free speech.
	Where free speech meets, you get freech.
	Where are these free bits of speech, then?
	I ain't got them anywhere on my page.
	There's Apple.
	Have you got freech?
	No one's... Give us it, then!
	We ain't got none!
	We ain't got no freech.
	Free speech.
	This is absolutely... What's this?
	Is it from some free speech?
	Watch them.
	Put them up.
	Punch them up so you can see them moving around.
	It's good.
	It provides real vitality.
	Panicking.
	Scuttling like David Bowie on his way to the Apollo.
	Right, these whistleblowers.
	Aha!
	FBI whistleblowers.
	Dekanu says, why don't you join us if you want to get involved in this?
	Click the red button on your screen.
	There it is.
	There.
	No.
	Yeah, there it is.
	There.
	Press it.
	Press that.
	Give it a jab!
	Jab it with your elbow.
	Use your nipple.
	Use whatever part of your body you choose.
	Use the tip of your tongue.
	Have you ever tried to operate a touchscreen, but you can't use your fingers for some reason?
	Oh, it's so annoying.
	Like your nose?
	Have you ever tried that?
	I've never tried the nose.
	The what's-the-name?
	Ooh!
	Barely anything else.
	Do you remember when you first got touchscreen technology and you just thought, oh, I can't have it?
	But then you did have it, didn't you?
	Yeah.
	And that's how it's going to be when that new Apple thing comes, the Apple-y-gogs.
	Yeah.
	You know, they're releasing new Apple gogs.
	You've got to go around like that with a swimming mask on all the time.
	Remember, I've got a PlayStation, and I did it once.
	It's too much aggro.
	Right.
	You can't go around with that thing on your head, walking into walls.
	It's stupid, isn't it?
	Ah, it's a shark!
	Oh no, I remember I put that thing on.
	It's stupid!
	Yeah.
	It's silly.
	I can't cope with this reality.
	Never mind augmenting it, but we'll be looking at them Apple goggles a little bit later.
	And we're also, what's our off YouTube story?
	We'll be talking about lockdown benefits.
	It's barely a drop in the bucket, is it?
	Correct.
	So you're using it in the right context.
	It's not proven that it was a drop in a bucket.
	How big's the bucket?
	How big's the drop?
	Too much subjectivity in that, if you ask me, mate.
	Dekanu says in the chat, and you can join us there if you want, those whistleblowers from the FBI are superheroes.
	heroes, smiley face in sunglasses, keep revealing the truth, so much appreciation, little pink
	heart.
	Davis920 says, often overused, but these guys are modern day heroes.
	Jack underscore Swiss, thank you gentlemen.
	It took real steel balls to stand up to the FBI.
	It'd be good to get newer balls.
	If you have Neuralink in the mind, have them straight in the nuts.
	Neuronuts, I call them.
	They say, right, contract now, don't lower too low, left up, right up, left, right, both together.
	Yeah, that's only a few things, though.
	What else do you want them to do, Gal?
	Swing round, rotate, like those ones that someone's a villain might, a baddie might have in a film.
	Well, Mr Bond, I've been expecting you, and they've got them, like two balls like that.
	Yeah.
	Do you remember those?
	Yeah, I do remember those, yeah.
	Never thought about it like that.
	Yeah, this is what they are.
	Why are they in your hand, though?
	Well, that's what he does on them.
	They're an office toy.
	Remember office toys?
	Like, maybe there's that one that goes, And then there's that one.
	It's good for people.
	Leon's tromping at the bit to tell me what that is.
	Newton's Cradle.
	That's what this is.
	Newton, I'm going to cradle you like it's 1999.
	Newton there, just being dismissed by a nit.
	Did you think, says Blessed Old Bird, in the old days these type of guys would go missing?
	Yeah, I wonder.
	Well, Stephen Friend ain't got missing because he's here and he messaged us.
	He goes, I don't want to get off topic when I was on your show yesterday, but I think you'd appreciate that both my siblings have stick figure tattoos of you.
	Here's the evidence.
	See, he's always good, always shows he's working out.
	Wow.
	Stephen, are you there, mate?
	Are you on Zoom?
	I'm here.
	I'm here.
	When you're not whistleblowing, you're idly chatting about subjects like this.
	There you are in front of your bloody great big wooden flag as usual.
	Now, can you explain to me, Steve, exactly why your siblings have got stick figure tattoos of me and what I'm doing in these images?
	Well, I wanted to drop that story on yesterday.
	As a trained investigator, I wanted to build rapport, but you were just so friendly, I just threw it off to the side.
	But the background of it is about 15 years ago, my brother and sister, they're a couple years of me, they were adults at the time.
	We're admiring your performance in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and the scene where you jumped up on a stage and danced and sang a show tune.
	They were so tickled by that, they drew a stick figure and put it on my mom's refrigerator.
	So flash forward a couple years, and this is back in 2009, they called me up and said, we're getting sibling tattoos.
	We're going to get the stick figure of Russell Brand put on a rib cage.
	You got to come do it.
	I'm not cool enough for a tattoo, I'm not like you, but I definitely wanted to experience watching them get that done, and I did.
	I took my bride at the time, who was my girlfriend, and we watched them get about the size of your palm on their left side of the ribcage.
	That's on the ribs, is it, that stick figure series?
	Firstly, it played a real part in the heritage.
	Do you think in some way that inspired you to make the brave decision to stand up against the FBI when you noticed corruption?
	You drew some nourishment from seeing that image on your siblings, thinking, no, I will not let the deep state mislead the American people.
	What would Ol' Russ in the form of all the snow in the film Sarah Marshall have done?
	Well, it looks like, based on that image, he'd have pried his anus open.
	I mean, looks like is what I'm doing.
	Doesn't it?
	That's what it very much looks like.
	Let's remind ourselves of that scene.
	The congressional hearing.
	Don't you dare.
	When you're appearing before Congress, keep the sphincter firmly closed.
	Because they don't even like it if you sort of tell the truth or have a Twitter account, do they?
	Like that lady.
	Let's have a look at me being in Sarah Marshall, which was a film.
	Shut that sphincter! Keep your ass shut!
	Let's have a look at me being in Sarah Marshall, which was a film. Let's have a look.
	You are wrong to be, is it wrong to be inside you?
	Inside you the restless find their dreams.
	Very good acting.
	That's the sort of thing you can expect from Ol' Russ.
	The brilliant Jason Segel there.
	Jonah.
	Kristen.
	Shout out Frozen.
	All there.
	All the stars.
	And there I am.
	That's me doing that!
	It's a good stick figure, and I'm very glad that I could contribute to your journey to becoming an American hero and whistleblower with my erotic dance.
	Thank you, Stephen.
	Will you please get that done?
	I want to know, are your siblings more proud of those tattoos or of what you have done recently?
	...back to a text message until I asked for a picture of the tattoo.
	So, Aldous Snow left quite the mark on the Friend family.
	There we go.
	I really did.
	Sorry about that, because I played a jingle over Gareth's question, because it's what I do.
	So can you just say the beginning of the thing again, please?
	The beginning of your answer, please, Stephen.
	Sorry about that, because you did a bit of whistle blowing, but actually I was doing something stupid over the noise of the whistle.
	Yeah, I think that my siblings were more excited about their tattoos than my appearance in front of the Congress, but I can't blame them.
	That was pretty boring.
	And when I texted them and asked for pictures and said that I would be sending them your way, I got a response within minutes from both of them.
	My brother was very upset, though, because he just had Taco Tuesday and felt that it didn't represent his figure very well.
	Aw, I love the friend family.
	Hey, what do you think about old QAnon shaman?
	Do you reckon he even put that face paint on himself and that buffalo hat?
	Or do you think that was probably given to him by an FBI operative?
	Allegedly!
	You know, I don't know.
	I think that his response afterwards, where his name was put out, his picture was put out, he seemed to be calling up the FBI pretty quickly and wanting to set things straight.
	So I think the guy, he was a vet.
	He might have some mental problems, but he certainly, from the video that Tucker showed, didn't deserve to be in prison for four years.
	There you go, see?
	A serious piece of insight as well as a lovely anecdote about the friend family's sibling tattoos.
	Stephen, thanks for being, well, a friend of our show.
	I don't know why I'm doing so many puns lately.
	It's weird.
	Something's happening to my mind.
	Thank you very much for joining us.
	I'm sending you lots of love and appreciation.
	I hope you'll come on again.
	Hopefully, after this, you'll go, I didn't want to say, but actually, I've got another tattoo of you and it's on your penis.
	It's like, I don't know.
	I don't know, Stephen.
	Just take it wherever.
	Next time I see you, I want you to be indelibly marked with some cipher of my identity.
	I will commit to that as long as you have me back.
	So thank you very much for having me today.
	Oh, bless you.
	Thanks for coming on, mate.
	He's lovely, isn't he, Stephen Friend?
	That's what it's all about.
	And our viewers are absolutely right.
	They're incredibly brave men.
	It's not easy to stand up against the FBI.
	No, I mean, of all the organisations that you'd want to stand up against, they'd be pretty high up.
	You wouldn't want it, would you?
	Gareth!
	To make an enemy of.
	This is my concern, my old pal Mel Bute.
	These are too close to me at this point.
	They're out of frame.
	Too close to my face.
	They're out of frame.
	They're out of frame.
	Alright, I'll move them over there.
	I don't like it.
	Put them over there.
	Right, the thing is...
	Even though Steven Friend's revelations are significant, along with those of Garrett O'Boyle, the FBI is so corrupt, the deep state is so corrupt, my concern is a little more than a drop in a bucket.
	That's what I'm worried about.
	Maybe just a drop in the bucket.
	And that is what some people are saying that the lockdown benefits were.
	This is from a mainstream media piece.
	Lockdown benefits are a drop in the bucket compared to the costs as a landmark study.
	Now, we cannot be expected to talk about this on the WHO's platform, YouTube, where they are alive, living in lockstep when it comes to matters of reporting on such matters, where any independent media source is immediately dismissed as a conspiratorial outlet.
	Where in fact what we want is to bring people together in truth, and this is a crazy time.
	People used to say that extraterrestrials were the subject of mere conspiracy, as well as the CIA involvement in a whole raft of former conspiracy theorists.
	I won't even list them now, but by God, I'll list them on Rumble, and we'll be talking about the potential drop in a bucketness Of the whole lockdown measure!
	And also, is that phrase dropping a bucket?
	If you're watching us on Rumble, join us over on Locals.
	If you're watching us on YouTube, there is a link in the description so you can join us on that platform of free speech that is Rumble.
	See you over there!
	All right, mate.
	Right.
	Right, we're on rumble now.
	Yeah.
	Feel relaxed.
	Feel pretty good.
	Drop in a bucket, eh?
	A drop in a... Lockdown benefits, a drop in the bucket, not even a bucket, compared to the costs.
	All right.
	So the bucket is a bucket full of costs.
	And in there... I think you should really interrogate this.
	It's a bucket.
	Right.
	Made of reality.
	Okay.
	It's a bucket.
	It's full of costs, and the benefits of the lockdown was just simply a drop in there, in barely discernible, amidst all the slosh of cost.
	Okay, so look, lockdown saved as few as 1,700 lives in England and Wales in 2020.
	Good though, like 1,700 people.
	Imagine if you could see them, all of their lives, all of their beauty, their limitless grace, those lives should be saved, according to a landmark study which concludes the benefits of the policy were, once again, that phrase, drop in the bucket, is the phrase that's sweeping the nation.
	Compared to the staggering collateral costs, that's the other stuff that's in the bucket, scientists from Johns Hopkins University and Lund University examined almost 20,000 studies on measures taken to protect populations against Covid across the world.
	Their findings suggest that lockdowns in response to the first wave of the pandemic, when compared with less strict policies adopted by the likes of Sweden, prevented as few as 1,700 deaths in England and Wales.
	In an average week there are around 11,000 deaths In England and Wales.
	The report of us said the finding shows the draconian measures had a negligible impact on Covid mortality and were a policy failure of gigantic proportions.
	Now what do you imagine might have been, and you can let us know this in the chat particularly if you join us in locals right now, what do you imagine Were there consequences for people that were taking chemotherapy, heart medicine, mental health disorders, addiction?
	What do you imagine was the cost?
	Because of course 1,700 lives, that's a lot of lives, that's important.
	I would give my life gladly!
	Yeah, of course, but I guess everything's about context, everything is.
	And so when you hear that there are 11,000 deaths every week in England and Wales, Anyway, it's not that people aren't going to die.
	They are going to die.
	So it's about the measures that we take and the impacts that they have on a society.
	And when you, as you just said, when you then take into consideration things like a massive spike in cancer rates, a backlog of 7 million patients in the UK now as a result of these lockdowns, of the effects on children's health and education, economic growth, Um, large increases in public debt.
	You know, in America, for example, the fourth leading cause of death now is poverty.
	And as we know, one of the big, um, uh, things to come from the pandemic was the loss of small businesses and things.
	So poverty and how people are affected by the pandemic economically is a massive factor in this.
	In the chat, G Hill says, that drop landed on my fridge.
	Which is a sentence I'm very, very happy to read.
	Jack underscore Swiss.
	You cannot put a price on lockdown suffering.
	Here also from Telegraph, a mainstream media outlet.
	Lockdown may have cost 200,000 lives elsewhere.
	It doesn't take a mathematician to work out that that's 100 times worse, more or less.
	So the cost was population control, says Danish7.
	No price can be put on suffering.
	I've already told you about that.
	You go gal, says GMFC.
	When Biology Always Wins says, when are we going to be talking about the many people who need blood transfusions and you want blood from a non-vaccinated blood, especially when you know what happened to so many people?
	Well, that's you've strayed out of the area of science there.
	Biology Always Wins, haven't we?
	Do we know that vaccines are negative?
	Do they prevent blood transfusions?
	Is that something that is sensible to contemplate?
	Because we try to be very sensible.
	Well, what we do know is that the WHO, if the pandemic goes ahead, are going to be able to potentially enforce lockdowns in the future.
	So now we have What statistics about how lockdowns were ineffective or a drop in the bucket as we are hearing?
	The way I visage it, just to get you confused, imagine a bucket, it's full of costs.
	In that same bucket is a benefit.
	It's barely like a sneeze is worth.
	What does it look like, this benefit?
	Like a drop, a dribble it, a snibble it.
	It's a drop all over your free speech.
	Yeah, we've talked about Neuralink, true chimera, and in a minute we're going to be talking about Apple Vision.
	Absolutely fantastic advert to talk about there.
	What are you laughing about?
	Sometimes when I look at you speaking and just bringing in all these ideas, I think that maybe you've already had the Neuralink operation done.
	That's absolutely ridiculous.
	Now, where's my banana milkshake?
	Let me just bat that back right at ya.
	That very accusation.
	Perhaps you've had Neuralink done.
	Imagine a needle in a haystack says G-Held.
	Still waiting on Elon.
	Alright, alright, I'll text him.
	I'll text him.
	I'm always doing this and it's never, ever, ever, ever worked well.
	Can I just stop you right there?
	Because last time you did this, he complained that you were waking him up in the middle of the night.
	So, can we at least check the time of day?
	When?
	No.
	Can.
	We.
	Do.
	What time is it in Texas?
	Who knows the time?
	Tell us in the chat.
	Don't do it.
	It says Barry John Fox.
	Don't do it.
	Tell us guys, what time is it in Texas?
	When can we do our chat?
	No, the last time you... It hasn't worked so far, has it?
	Please.
	I've said please.
	10 or 11.30.
	Please stop him before it's too late, Gareth.
	11.36.
	Listen to Gareth, says George again.
	I'm trying.
	So don't send... Oh shit, I shouldn't... Oh, that's alright.
	That's got no information on it.
	Don't send.
	Don't send.
	Not yet.
	Let's be a little more considered.
	That's how the show works.
	All right, I will be more considerate.
	And consider you this.
	Big tech platforms are trying to take over the world.
	After Zuckerberg's metaverse has plainly failed, can Apple succeed where my BJJ opponent Zuckerberg has yet to?
	Is it possible that the AppleGog pros' goggle boxes for the vision holes could possibly succeed?
	This new advert, brilliantly crafted piece of propaganda, seems to suggest that it might.
	But Apple with their ongoing court cases, Apple with their power of a massive nation, I'm talking Senegal, I'm talking Finland, I'm talking Belgium, one of the bestest countries there ever would be...
	Is it right to have these goggle boxes unleashed on the world?
	And do they make really, really good adverts?
	Let's have a look at this hairy Viking man putting on some swimming goggles that help him to swim into a new reality.
	Dreamer You're nothing but a dreamer Interesting that they're using that track because in a sense he is being put into an illusion, a dystopic one in my view, even though it's well designed.
	It's got a lovely Swedish looking premises there.
	Very natural, very organized.
	And I suppose it's sort of visually similar to the menu, the ecosystem, Apple's famous ecosystem, it's walled garden.
	One of the things that Apple are proudest of and upon which their business is heavily contingent
	is if you have a iPhone, it links up to your watch, it links up to your computer.
	Is it a walled garden or is it a prison?
	Let us know in the chat and the comments.
	They're very good at getting you, Apple, and then keeping you there.
	I mean, I think they spent a billion dollars preventing moody chargers being used, didn't they?
	Like, can't I just get a charger down the garage?
	You better not.
	Steve Jobs will be spinning in his grave on acid if he knew you was just buying a charger from a garage.
	Buy a proper one.
	Did they even change it from, you know, it used to be like a normal headphone hole to the type of hole it is now?
	Did they do that just to wind us up?
	I think isn't it now universal, whereas before it was like, it was purely Apple.
	Purely Apple.
	Now you can, I don't know.
	I think it should be the headphone one, Steve.
	I use the old phone, so I'm not falling for it.
	What do you mean?
	Would you stick in there?
	This is a 7, this is.
	Well, Gareth, you're living in the past.
	I know.
	You ain't nothing but a dreamer.
	I refuse to go along with all this.
	Go along with it!
	it out.
	I'm just gonna sit down with some popcorn and just watch this documentary about Napoleon.
	Oh, pull a bit closer.
	Mate, be honest.
	You're gonna have a wank, aren't ya?
	You're gonna have an immersive apple goggle wank.
	Oh, everyone's like, oh, probably learn a bit about Napoleon now.
	Get these immersive goggles on.
	Whoop, whoop.
	Right, might as well take over Corsica.
	He ain't doing that, is he?
	You're gonna be surrounding himself in smut.
	Let us know in the chat.
	That's not butter on that popcorn.
	Oh dear, sweet and salty, you pig.
	Tapping his foot, the perv.
	Okay.
	Oh Oh, I'm sorry.
	I feel guilty about that campaign now.
	Not tonight, Josephine!
	Retreat!
	Retreat!
	I'm still parenting.
	I'm parenting my children in these goggles.
	This has not blurred my connection or in any way marred the experience of my daughter.
	Look at these paths I'm making in the kitchen!
	🎵 🎵
	That's like where you properly bleach out reality.
	She's so dissatisfied with the miracle of flight that she has to put some goggles on.
	30,000 feet going on a holiday.
	Oh God, it disgusts me.
	Look at these people.
	Time for some downstairs goggle action!
	I'm making much of the fact that you're not going to go like all the famous reels of people
	just clattering into walls and toppling over backwards.
	Like if you ever go on PlayStation and you go down into that shark tank and you freak out and that and you sort of walk into the dog.
	It's embarrassing.
	This guy's just looking at a photo though, isn't he?
	It's not that good.
	Right, see that thing over there, mate?
	What, that glass box?
	Yeah, that's the window!
	Look at that, you bloody idiot!
	It's free!
	I suppose these are some interesting facts to supplement this.
	Apple makes $1.4 billion but avoids paying tax in the UK.
	The US tech giant also paid $25 million in dividends.
	The tech giant has found a tax haven in the island of Jersey, leaving billions of dollars untouched by the United States.
	Leaked documents revealed in 2017, $252 billion.
	I suppose What we have is an institution, a body, a corporation that's more powerful than nations, therefore able to bias and influence laws, it's able to redirect legislation, and now is pioneering new realms where reality itself may be dominated.
	When you envisage a dystopia where people have potentially chips in their brains, where More and more, when I say they, I mean we, when we're more and more divorced from one another and more divorced from the experience of nature.
	I see these as the sort of incremental stepping stones on our way to a reality where we're more and more cut off from one another and the sensory realm.
	And again, it's not a neutral domain.
	It's like a curated reality owned by a very, very powerful entity.
	Also a very bloody good advert.
	Yeah, and it's that thing, isn't it?
	I mean, we were talking about how scary the Neuralink seems, like putting a brain chip inside your mind.
	But how far off is this?
	It's not that far off that.
	And a bit like with mobile phones, you know, when we talked about the FBI, one of the revelations about the FBI and them spying on us, spying on doing 300,000 illegal searches.
	Well, we know that we are inviting this spying by owning these phones.
	Well, we're going one step further when we're going to put something like this on our edge.
	They famously participate with the Deep State.
	It's possible that even at their inception there was possible funding, certainly in the case of Google and other global Goliaths.
	And when you hear that Neuralink have been rushing, have we got that headline?
	Neuralink are rushing their Neuralink.
	Don't rush it, do it slowly and deliberately.
	Yeah.
	Okay, okay, that's good.
	Can you put your hands in your head?
	Oh no!
	What I like is the way that they one by one address what we are going to level at it.
	Oh, you won't be able to see your kids' faces.
	Don't use these Apple goggles.
	You won't be able to see your kids.
	Oh, you'll go wandering off into walls.
	It will prevent you from having connections to other people.
	No, no, no.
	It's going to increase your connection to other people.
	You'll be able to bleach out the miracle of flight.
	It's almost trying to present itself as utopian in a way that the metaverse has evidently failed to do.
	Yeah, the other thing, just going back to the Neuralink, because I feel a little bit
	bad kind of criticising Neuralink to an extent, although as you said a minute ago, animal
	testing was being rushed, causing needless suffering and deaths.
	Doesn't sound brilliant.
	But at least like the point of Neuralink, according to Elon Musk, is that it's going
	to deal with a lot of these issues.
	Schizophrenia, like help in lots of medical situations.
	This is about profit.
	Nothing else.
	Pure greed by Apple.
	Yeah, they're obviously making it about craft and creativity and a certain kind of aesthetic, which Apple have historically been geniuses at.
	It's essentially many people have offered the critique that Apple is primarily about design over function that their
	products look beautiful It's not about their effectiveness
	It's about the feeling that they have and certainly I've been
	beguiled by that type of market into the point where I see of our types of phone or laptop or computer as
	inferior even though many people say the reverse is true, but
	outside of the aesthetics is clearly an appetite for dominion a fierce battle being fought for IP and a
	very kind of a seriousness when it comes to propriety
	Ownership, so is it a good thing that Apple are able to curate new levels of reality?
	Let us know in the chat.
	Let us know in the comments.
	Right.
	Well, Gal, that's some pretty good content.
	I was treating it as an independent item the whole way through it.
	That's what I was doing.
	Enjoyed it.
	We're going to have a look at Dickie Dawkins now.
	This is something that's coming up later in the week.
	I had a conversation with Richard Dawkins where I irritated him to within an inch of his life.
	I've got the power to pause this if I want because I can talk about these things.
	Have a look at this.
	It's a really good conversation.
	Richard Dawkins is someone I've wanted to talk to for a long time.
	Because I really, really respect him, but I really disagree with him.
	And I feel like he doesn't acknowledge the limitations of a materialistic model.
	Now, obviously, the challenge is that he's a professor of evolutionary biology, and I'm a bloke from Essex.
	So there are many points in the discourse where that aperture widened and was exposed.
	But do people have tattoos of Richard Dawkins?
	No, they don't.
	They absolutely do not have tattoos of me.
	Let's have a look.
	Mostly, I'm a scientist.
	I regard religion as scientifically interesting.
	If religious belief is true, then it's a very, very different kind of universe from if there isn't.
	Sometimes it does seem to me that you are almost determined to arrive at a materialistic outcome in the same manner that I am determined to believe in God.
	The question is, is there a limit?
	Are there some important truths that the human brain can never master?
	Are there beings in the universe who already understand things that we cannot understand?
	I'd like to live another 500 years to see how far the human brain can advance.
	Quite good.
	Do one that's got more funny stuff in it to promote it.
	Just undermine your own promo.
	I'd like to see more of the funny bits.
	Find the biggest laughs, start with them, reverse engineer from that way.
	That's why I say the sound is better on the main show.
	Looking forward to it.
	No, it's good.
	It's a good conversation.
	But what I'd say is, like, find some of the bits that are sort of surprising.
	Like, I'd say, what is a surprising bit?
	Like the me saying about that caravan holiday.
	That's probably what I'm doing now, is I'm directing a trailer.
	It's quite meta.
	Yeah.
	But meta failed.
	We know that.
	We learned that from Zuckerberg.
	We'll re-edit, comes the message from the gallery.
	It's all right.
	But find, like, I mean, don't matter for this.
	These people already watch the show.
	But for stuff we put up elsewhere.
	Alright, um, hey, listen, why don't you join our locals community by pressing this red button.
	You can watch that Richard Dawkins show right now as well as every week I do a meditation.
	They're bloody good as well, these meditations.
	The one I did today with this geezer called Caleb from New Zealand.
	He's, if you ask me, he don't need meditation.
	He was too bloody relaxed as it is and he looked like he needed to clean his fish tank out.
	It was in shot, that's not a euphemism.
	Not a euphemism, good.
	Not a euphemism.
	Also, I want you to join me for community this year between July the 14th and July the 17th on the border of Wales and England.
	There will be a three-day festival.
	It's going to be fantastic.
	Wim Hof, Vandana Shiva, you'll love it.
	Come and join us.
	And now we're going to wrap up the show by showing you our hero presentation, Here's the News.
	We're talking about the Debt ceiling.
	Now you might think that sounds, oh no, it's a bit boring.
	I don't like ceilings that are made of debt.
	But what's happening is that there's a bipartisan agreement to provide limitless funding to potential wars like the current Ukraine-Russia conflict and any potential conflict with China over Taiwan.
	And it's being presented as if there's like Oh, look at the harmony and wonder, everyone coming together and putting their arms around each other and buying the world a Coke.
	But actually, like under closer scrutiny, Gareth, it looks a lot more like the political class agreeing to fund the military-industrial complex.
	Yeah, and cut social spending.
	Simultaneously kind of spending on hospitals, schools, roads, stuff you need.
	Lots of jobs.
	And even that military-industrial complex spending ain't ending up in the pockets of troops and heroes and decorated veterans.
	It's ending up, as we already know, in the pockets of the military-industrial complex.
	Here's the news!
	So, oh yeah, I'm off.
	So that's all for now.
	Stay with us for Here's The News.
	Join us tomorrow, not for more of the same, but more of the different.
	Fantastic show tomorrow.
	You're going to love it.
	But until then, Here's The News?
	No.
	Here's the effing news.
	Yeah.
	See ya.
	Here's the fucking news!
	Good news!
	The Democrats and Republicans have decided to work together in giving more money to the military-industrial complex and cutting spending on vital things for ordinary Americans.
	Right?
	Joe Biden's boasting that he's brought Democrats and Republicans together in some sort of historic moment, but it's not that historic unless your history of the world is horrible events where the military-industrial complex nick all your money to spend it on wars that we'd probably be better off without.
	Watch.
	My fellow Americans, when I ran for president, I was told the days of bipartisanship were over and that Democrats and Republicans could no longer work together.
	I refuse to believe that.
	Look, I'm not one to criticise Joe Biden unnecessarily or be mean, but at this point, he can barely sort of talk, can he?
	It's like he's sort of crumbling into nothingness.
	It's like a murmur.
	And don't think that you can make me think you're normal just by having some photos of people behind you.
	Oh, there I am, look, some kids and stuff.
	Great, you're normal.
	Could you stop giving all that money to Raytheon and Lockheed Martin for, I believe, unnecessary wars?
	Because America can never give in to that way of thinking.
	Look, the only way American democracy can function is by funnelling taxpayers' money to the military-industrial complex, by accepting lobbying, by having a donor class that bypass democratic process.
	Is that the only way?
	It's through compromise and consensus.
	Oh, consensus between the corporations and the state.
	Got it.
	And that's what I work to do as your president.
	You know, to forge bipartisan agreement where it's possible and where it's needed.
	I've signed more than 350 bipartisan laws thus far.
	It was two and a half years.
	Do you know, like, one of the main things I think about politics is when they come on the telly and tell you if a thing's great.
	If it isn't, they just tell you.
	Do you know what?
	I've done all these things.
	It's absolutely fantastic.
	Look, I'm alive in the world.
	It's going badly.
	Stop lying.
	Rebuilding our manufacturing base.
	So as Joe Biden's explaining, you could even make semiconductors in America, or you could just bomb Taiwan to stop China using those ones.
	Making it very clear to the Chinese that if you invade Taiwan, we're going to blow up TSMC.
	Or you could do both!
	And now, a bipartisan budget agreement.
	This bipartisan budget agreement is not an example of more democracy, it's an example of less democracy.
	Both parties have agreed to remove the debt ceiling in order to give more of your money to the military-industrial complex while slashing spending on public amenities, things that are valuable and important and necessary in your life.
	This is being presented to you as good news.
	It's bad news by almost any measure!
	This is vital.
	Because it's essential to the progress we've made over the last few years is keeping full faith and credit of the United States of America.
	On our show we've had Robert F Kennedy, Cornel West, Marianne Williamson.
	All of them are running for president.
	Any one of them would be better, at least at public speaking, than Joe Biden.
	And all of them have more, I believe, integrity than Joe Biden.
	I don't think any of them, if you were to investigate and go, oh look this Did you do a bunch of deals with Ukrainian and Chinese energy companies?
	That won't happen if you investigate Cornel West or Marianne Williamson or Robert F. Kennedy.
	These are all people that I believe are seriously interested in improving the experience of ordinary Americans.
	Dealing with the complexity of all of the different types of lives that Americans lead.
	The complexity of the global issues we're currently confronted with.
	These people are interested.
	I don't know which one of them would be best, but I know that any one of them would be better than Joe Biden.
	Let me know in the comments and chat if you agree.
	I'm passing a budget that continues to grow our economy and reflects our values as a nation.
	That's why I'm speaking to you tonight.
	To report on the crisis averted and what we're doing to protect America's future.
	Let's have a look at this story a little more closely and with a little more clarity.
	The debt ceiling agreement reached between the White House and House Republicans places no constraints on spending on the war in Ukraine, a White House official told Bloomberg.
	No constraints.
	None.
	How do you feel about the Ukraine-Russia conflict?
	Do you believe it's a humanitarian crisis?
	It is.
	Do you believe that Russia's invasion was criminal?
	It was.
	Do you believe that Ukrainian people should be protected and supported?
	Yes.
	Do you believe, and would you vote, for no constraints on expenditure?
	No constraints.
	Do you think that there's room for a conversation?
	And do you think it's possible that some of the interests that are being served in prolonging this conflict are economic ones?
	Let me know in the chat.
	The $113 billion that's been authorised to spend on the war in Ukraine so far was passed as supplemental emergency funds, which is exempt from the spending caps that are part of the debt ceiling deal.
	Would you mind if we separate it off from this military industrial complex expenditure which we'll just call emergency.
	We'll just separate it off as emergency expenditure.
	What kind of emergency is it that requires that you spend excessively on missiles and weaponry for a conflict that, by any reckoning, is not in America?
	According to the Congressional Budget Office, funding designated as an emergency requirement or for overseas contingency operations would not be constrained.
	The emergency funds could go beyond Ukraine and might be used to send weapons to Taiwan or for other spending that hawks favour as part of their strategy against China.
	So it's a two-for-one con.
	Can you sort of see how that piece of propaganda has been organized?
	How are we going to sell this to the American people?
	Say, oh, this is a bipartisan thing.
	The Republicans and Democrats have come together.
	I'm a unifying president.
	Meanwhile, money's being funneled towards the military-industrial complex via the Pentagon.
	Who can't pass an audit?
	Meanwhile, actual military personnel are living in poverty, using food banks.
	You know this already.
	I'm just reminding you so that you can watch something like that.
	And just try to calculate how many corrupt things are happening.
	That guy shouldn't be doing this job.
	What's going on with all the jobs in their family?
	What's he actually saying right now?
	Is this a bad thing for America that the debt ceiling is being removed but somehow still money's being funneled into wars I don't think are for what they're telling?
	I mean, it's almost immeasurable corruption.
	The bill will cut federal spending by $55 billion in 2024 and $81 billion in 2025.
	Moody's Analytics estimates that thanks to the bill, there will be 120,000 fewer jobs at the end of 2024 than there would be without it.
	I don't know, man.
	It depends on whether you think jobs are a good thing or not.
	We could have a big conversation about whether or not the economy and society more broadly needs to be reorganised but I think in the short term that's bad.
	Whereas the bill would raise defence spending to $886 billion in the fiscal year 2024, an increase of 3.3% and raise it again to $895 billion in 2025.
	year 2024, an increase of 3.3% and raise it again to $895 billion in 2025. It looks like
	what's being built in is systemic corruption and ongoing funneling of your resources, if
	you're an American, towards a particular set of interests.
	That's what it looks like from the outset, while taking money from places that, I don't know, seem like they could be beneficial.
	Tell me in the chat.
	The multi-year cap on non-military discretionary spending will deprive millions of people of health coverage, food assistance, rent support and other necessities.
	No one in the media cares to mention the origins of the massive levels of debt accumulated by the American government, which have These are important ideas.
	That's what Joe Biden should be sat there quivering, trembling, barely able to articulate.
	with the bailout of the banks and tax cuts for the rich.
	These are important ideas. That's what Joe Biden should be sat there quivering, trembling, barely able
	to articulate. He should be telling you the money that was found to bail out the banks, money
	that's been found for a war between Russia and Ukraine, cannot be found for ordinary American
	people.
	Now, I know many of you will have rhetoric in your mind rattling around about, oh, the welfare state, it makes people poorer, it makes people worse.
	These are complicated ideas that perhaps can be discussed at length.
	One thing I think we can agree on is it's not good to continually funnel resources towards the wealthiest,
	most powerful interests in the world. That's not benefiting you. Have I gone crazy? I
	mean, I'm wearing an odd dressing gown. In 2022 alone, Congress approved $113 billion in aid
	to Ukraine, part of more than $1 trillion in overall military spending. Only a few months
	ago, the Biden administration, with the support of both parties, organised the rapid bailout
	of a whole series of banks, guaranteeing the deposits of the wealthy.
	Again!
	The bipartisan assault on workers' social rights follows the precedent set by the Obama administration, which responded to the 2008 subprime mortgage financial collapse by organizing a multi-trillion dollar bailout of Wall Street and the corporate elite.
	That was followed by the bankruptcy restructuring of the U.S.
	auto industry based on the imposition of tiers, pay cuts, and attacks on pensions and health benefits.
	In 2011, the Obama-Biden administration established the precedent for the current debt ceiling operation.
	Agreeing to cap federal discretionary spending for five years by imposing massive social cuts, Biden led the negotiations with the Republicans.
	So there you go, Biden, whether as president or vice president, has been facilitating bailouts for the banks and cuts That's for ordinary Americans.
	This turn to austerity was bound up with the turn towards war with Russia and China.
	Obama oversaw the 2014 maiden coup which initiated the events that culminated in the escalating US-NATO war in Russia.
	It seems that the political class always favour their own hegemonic aspirations over the needs of the American people.
	Bailing out banks, instigating wars, cutting expenditure that Good news!
	We've got the mafia and the Nazis working together!
	of pretending that this is some unavoidable set of crises and events.
	Bipartisanship sounds like a good thing, but when both parties are corrupt it's not that good.
	Good news! We've got the Mafia and the Nazis working together! Hooray!
	Here are some other achievements of bipartisanship.
	The Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000.
	In the last days of the Clinton administration, the House passed the Commodity Futures Modernization Act 29260.
	157 Democrats voted for it, together with 133 Republicans.
	The Senate passed it under unanimous consent.
	By exempting many financial instruments from regulation, This extremely bipartisan bill helped lay the groundwork for the 2008 financial meltdown and the subsequent near-depression.
	In 2013, Bill Clinton privately spoke about his desperate attempts to stop the act from passing.
	This was all lies.
	His administration had enthusiastically lobbied for it.
	Enthusiastically!
	They've not even lobbied for it, just like it was part of their job.
	Right, come on!
	Oh man, I tried to stop that from passing.
	I was desperate trying to stop it.
	Oh man!
	Gotta trust the Clintons, baby.
	I did not.
	2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force.
	Public Law 10740, signed on September 18, 2001 by President George W. Bush, is certainly the most bipartisan act of the 21st century.
	gave Bush the authorization to use all necessary and appropriate force against
	those nations, organizations or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed
	or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11th 2001 or harbored such
	organizations or persons. Every Democrat and Republican voting said yes to it
	with a solitary exception of one.
	Yeah, we should do that.
	We should, like, really vague, massive empowerment of loads of deep state organizations of wars all over the world.
	Only one person went, um, do you think that maybe this could be a problem down the line?
	Shut up, you unpatriotic Iraqi Muslim terrorist!
	How many things do I have to say to you before you accept democracy?
	I was just wondering if this could be misused.
	Kill that son of a bitch.
	It has been used as justification by Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump for military action in 12 countries, including Afghanistan, plus drone strikes and regular bombing in seven.
	This is really bad, isn't it?
	This is so bad.
	Bipartisanship is not good if both parties are bad.
	About 3,000 people died on September 11, 2001.
	All in one, the war on terror is estimated to have caused 4.5 million deaths, a ratio of 1,500 to 1.
	That doesn't seem like a good solution.
	I don't think it's made things any better.
	I think it's legitimised imperialistic behaviour around the world and ultimately benefited the same kind of interests that will benefit from the legislature that's currently being passed.
	Authorisation for use of military force against Iraq Resolution of 2002.
	215 Republicans and 81 Democrats voted in October 2002 to give Bush the power to invade Iraq.
	In the Senate, 48 Republicans and 29 Democrats voted yes.
	Bush fired Larry Lindsay, the director of his National Economic Council, for saying the US might have to spend as much as $200 billion on the war.
	It would eventually cost America at least $2.4 trillion.
	So it's so bad, isn't it?
	It's almost immeasurably bad to think of all the lives that have been lost, all of the money that's been spent.
	I'm not able to hold in my consciousness the scale of suffering and the scale of expenditure, let alone the idea that it's all being funded by you while you're literally doing your job and working.
	I was living in America during that period, so I paid for some of that and I want my money back.
	American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.
	Look at that, it sounds such a good act, doesn't it?
	Okay, guys, we're here to discuss the American Jobs Creation Act.
	Oh, that's good, because that must mean, surely, at least somewhere along the line, some jobs will be created.
	Yeah, sorta.
	In October 2004, Congress passed a bill including a corporate tax holiday, i.e.
	an opportunity for multinational U.S.
	companies that have been holding cash overseas so it couldn't be taxed, to bring that cash back to America at an ultra-low tax rate.
	What's that got to do with creating a job?
	Like, oh no, because it will trickle down.
	Okay guys, this is the Free Ice Cream for Everybody Act.
	Oh man, that's lovely.
	I like ice cream.
	Hey, why are you putting your fingers in my ass?
	It's all in the act!
	Now enjoy your ice cream.
	This doesn't taste like chocolate.
	It was totally bipartisan with 207 Republicans and 73 Democrats voting for it in the House, plus 44 Republicans and 25 Democrats voting yes in the Senate.
	The rationale for the bill, as is clear from its name, was this was going to create tons of great American jobs.
	In reality, lots of the money from this and other Bush tax cuts went to bigger paychecks for corporate executives.
	Do you notice that during this cost of living crisis, Food companies, energy companies, big tech companies, pharmaceutical companies are making a lot of money and people in the financial industry are receiving bonuses.
	This is not an attack on any individuals.
	This is an attempt to address systemic corruption.
	And systemic corruption takes place when the President of the United States sits there in front of a bunch of family photographs telling you that bipartisanship is an indication of harmony when it is in fact an indication of corruption.
	Corruption in this instance means taking your money, taxpayer dollars, and giving it to the military-industrial complex.
	People will say, no, it's to help Ukrainian people, but come on.
	When you look at this litany of events, this history of malfeasance, do you think that the same people, the same system, the same ideology that created all of these horrific events is suddenly now doing the right thing?
	I don't.
	I think it's more corruption.
	And I don't think it will ever change until we elevate voices in the political space like those I listed.
	Marianne Williamson, Robert F. Kennedy, and Cornel West.
	People that will change the conversation.
	Then the systems themselves have to alter to prevent corporations and financial interests that are beyond national boundaries dictating the policies of countries like yours, mine, and all of the nations of the earth.
	But that's just what I think.
	Let me know what you think in the chat.
	See you in a second.
	Thank you for choosing Fox News.
	The news.
	No, here's the fucking news.
	We can only produce our amazing content thanks to sponsors like Black Forest Supplements.
	And Black Forest Supplements are leading the battle against Big Pharma and regulatory bodies like the FDA who discredit natural remedies and your access to their benefits.
	I'm talking about natural remedies like Cystanche with Tonka Ali supplement, a blend of two potent plants that I use for its traditional health benefits.
	Cystanche, for example, I mean I know you know this, Is believed to increase energy.
	Look how energetic I am!
	It reduces fatigue.
	Do you see any fatigue here?
	Enhance memory and even promote longevity.
	I'll be here a while baby.
	While Tonka Ali is a ska band.
	No!
	Tonka Ali is known as an aphrodisiac.
	Oh yeah!
	With the sale of these natural herbs potentially coming to an end due to the FDA's actions, now is the time to act.
