you you
you in this video you're going to see the future
plus the record you
you Hey!
Hello there, you Awakening Wanderers.
Thanks for joining me for Stay Free with Russell Brand.
It's another week for us to become free.
Turn that monitor off if you don't mind.
If you're on Rumble, hi guys!
I'm talking to you, Utopians and Molten and Gary Stew.
I'm chatting to you all with great love.
And you Awakened Wanderers there in locals like Rational Anarchy and Dean Pyre and Claude and Jay Schultz.
Thank you so much for joining us.
For the one show where you're safe to talk about freedom and to truly be free.
I had a really good conversation with Matt Taibbi, you know Matt Taibbi from Twitter Files, and he said that they went from counter-terrorism to counter-populism almost overnight.
The infrastructure that was set up to counter terrorist movements have been turned on you!
Your free speech, your free thought, is literally an act of terror.
You'll see me and Matt Taibbi talking about that later in the week.
Yeah!
And also though, we're going to talk about peace a little bit and we're going to talk about hate speech more broadly.
We're talking about the US Army asking back the un-vaxxed.
The un-vaxxed welcome back to the army.
Why?
Because Potentially, there's going to be war.
Will it be a nuclear war, because the USA has a new capacity for nuclear war?
Or will it be because the ongoing tensions war in the Middle East consumes all humanity?
But could do, because Joe Biden, in spite of claiming to be sort of a force for peace, is making all sorts of crazy decisions.
And of course, we're going to talk a little bit about Ireland.
On one thing, one aspect of Ireland I want to talk about is how Ireland is a very distinct nation.
Ireland's not a former colonial power.
Ireland has been subject to colonialism as a result of British imperialism.
So using far-right rhetoric in Ireland, it doesn't really make sense.
This is where this globalist agenda is starting to fail.
Populist movements are rising up across the world.
Argentina, the Netherlands, agricultural movements in Sri Lanka.
In India.
Because of the determination to condemn all these movements as conspiratorial or racist, the argument is starting to quake and shake and not make sense.
We'll be on YouTube for a while, you Awakening Wonders, how we value your attention, how we value your love, and we love that you watch our content there.
We make a video every single day.
Be sure and watch them all.
But after about 15 minutes, we'll be exclusively available on Rumble, and you can join Ghost House and Blood Milski and Digital Hippie.
And all of the people on there that are chatting so freely now, it gives you hope that the world will surely one day be free.
Let's have a little look though now at our first story.
Joe Biden.
Here's some of the things that that lover of peace That cadaverous Christ Joe Biden has done for the Middle East.
He's unfrozen $6 billion of Iranian assets.
He's authorized billions of dollars of military aid to Israel.
Sold weapons to 57% of the world's autocratic countries.
Enabled the transfer of weapons to terrorist groups.
And yet he claims to be some sort of Gandhi, Nelson Mandela figure of the region.
Here he is.
You love him.
I love him.
It's Joe Biden.
There's an overwhelming desire on the part of the region to... Let me back up.
I'm... I cannot prove what I'm about to say.
But I believe one of the... Why did you say, I'm going to prove what I'm going to say?
Oh, that's good news!
I tell you what I love.
I love Shane Gillis' joke about Joe Biden.
He says that when you see Joe Biden, it's like if you've got a friend who's got a 16-year-old dog that comes in.
Very funny.
Shane Gillis, what a funny bloke he is.
Let's have a look at dear old Joe Biden staggering through this speech.
Reasons why Hamas struck when they did was they knew that I was working very closely with the Saudis.
Is he saying he was just on the precipice of achieving world peace?
But look at all those actions, all of the freeing up of all those billions of dollars of potentially incendiary aid, the actions in Iran, the selling to the autocracies.
By having recognition of Israel and Israel's right to exist.
You may recall when we did the G20 a little while ago, I was able to get a resolution, a statement passed through there saying we're going to build a railroad.
From Riyadh all the way through the Middle East into Saudi Arabia, Israel, et cetera, and all the way up to Europe.
Not the railroad, but it'll be an underground pipeline.
Aww!
Aww!
He's going into the intricacies.
It's going to be a railroad, then it's going to be a pipeline.
Well, your history with pipelines is not impeccable.
That Nord Stream 1 that you said you were going to destroy, then did destroy, being my primary example there.
Now though the United States of America has a great facility forever for destruction because there's a new nuclear bomb that is 25 times more powerful than the ones sadly dropped on Hiroshima.
Look at how the legacy media, like pay attention to this, you're a discerning independent thinking fire walker and free thinker.
Look at how the legacy media sort of sells you this nuclear bomb like it's a Black Friday deal.
The Pentagon asking Congress to find a nuclear bomb 24 times more powerful than those dropped on Japan to end World War II.
This would be major to have in our arsenal.
This will be major to have in our arsenal.
This is the Senate Armed Services Committee raises concerns about growing nuclear threats from Russia, North Korea.
Tom Dempsey has more on this from Washington.
Tom?
Good morning, Marky.
Yeah, this morning, military leaders in the United States want to see Congress approve the production of a brand new nuclear weapon.
It's brand new.
It's spanking new.
They're going cheap.
They're almost free.
We're almost giving them away.
We're dropping them indiscriminately across the world, not on behalf of the people of America, but on behalf of the military industrial complex and profit from this kind of craziness.
Get to roll up, roll up.
Far more powerful than the atom bombs used in World War II.
The military... Can I get a no?
Can I get an ah?
Interior leaders saying they want to keep Americans protected from rising threats around the world.
Doesn't make sense.
It doesn't make sense.
Do you feel that there's this kind of, and let me know in the chat with a yes or a no, a why or an end, just save yourself a bit of time, darling.
If you're feeling this ulterior power rising up, if you're feeling that we're quaking with chaos, if you feel that the establishment are beginning to recognize that their time is coming to an end, I'm not just talking about the end of the American empire, I'm talking about the We've gone as far as you can go with materialism.
We've gone as far as you can go without inviting divinity into the conversation.
You know our Awakened Wonders do Bible readings.
You know that about us, don't you?
You know we're formulating a movement.
Yeah?
Do you feel it?
Can't you feel the uprising?
Can't you feel it coming through?
Like even with these recent riots in Dublin, now of course ostensibly they have been provoked
due to the stabbing and violence, loss of, I think loss of life actually in Ireland where
there was some murders and stuff.
But of course what I sense below it is a deep dissatisfaction.
You hear sort of curious rhetoric in the news about like far-right kind of nationalism in
Ireland, but Ireland's entire struggle has been defined by their relationship with an
external oppressor, obviously the British in this instance, who's to apply the kind
of narrative that I...
Ireland is a sort of racist, colonialist country.
Doesn't make sense, does it?
It's not the same kind of country at all.
Let's have a look at what's going on over there.
44 people were arrested in a riot in the city's historic centre overnight.
Anti-immigrant protesters fought with police after a stabbing incident involving three young children.
This year, Ireland marked record immigration, granting entry to more than 100,000 foreigners.
The same anti-immigration wave delivered a surprise landslide win this week for anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders in the Netherlands.
People expect our agenda of hope, tougher asylum and immigration policy.
Wilders is known as the Dutch Donald Trump, as much for his populist policies as for his hair.
As police in Dublin prepare for a possible second night of violence, the Prime Minister said these scenes should be condemned by all those who believe in the rule of law and democracy.
See that uh ultimately like there's some looting and stuff like that.
I kind of always feel that's a an indication of a deep dissatisfaction and a failing society that goes way beyond the analysis offered to you by the legacy media.
It's something we're touching on at the moment.
We're doing a lot of analysis on that this week.
How various people are being called tyrants and uh being compared to you know of course the dictators of the previous century.
While in fact it's The establishment that is exerting tyrannical control.
The new dictatorships are different.
The new dictatorships keep you dumb and they keep you hypnotized and doped up on consumerism while offering you nothing but nihilism as a kind of way through it.
Have a look at that.
You see that there's that 20%.
Did you see at the end of that thing?
Can I see that?
Is it easy to watch the end of that clip again?
No, it's not easy to, is it?
There's some Black Friday deals being offered to you.
It's not as economically rewarding as looting.
Not that I'm advocating for looting, of course.
But check out some of the cons.
As police in Dublin prepare for...
Yeah, that's what I wanted to say.
See that?
Like, there's that 20% off there.
...or a possible second night of violence.
The Prime Minister said these scenes... ...get considerably more than 20% off once you've rolled them shutters up.
But, like, some of the Black Friday deals that are being offered are... They're... Well, look at this Black Friday deal.
Oh.
Okay.
Okay, what about this one?
Perfect summary of our empty, nihilistic, vacuous, hollow consumer culture to see Black Friday deal simply amounts to they've changed the color from red, which normally indicates bargain, doesn't it?
Red.
That's like our special sale to black because it's Black Friday.
But the number is the same.
literally living in an illusion now.
Oh, it's the same.
It's not a bargain.
Okay, I see what it is.
My life has been co-opted by nefarious forces.
So, hey, look at this.
Obviously, those riots will be utilised to legitimise new hate speech laws.
That's why they are universally being reported as right-wing, far-right, hate riots.
I think, and let me know what you think in the chat, in order to legitimise this new legislation, and legislation comparable to this being passed all over the world.
We've reported on it a lot.
It's happening in Canada, happening in the UK, you can bet it'll be happening in the States, happening in the EU.
Here's the Irish Prime Minister, Leo Varadkar, saying that they have to pass hate speech laws, not tomorrow, but now.
In addition to that, I think it's now very obvious to anyone who might have doubted it that our incitement to hatred legislation is just not up to date.
It's not up to date for the social media age and we need that legislation through and we need it through within a matter of weeks because it's not just the platforms who have a responsibility here, and they do, there's also the individuals who post messages and images online that stir up hatred and violence and we need to be able to use laws to go after them individually as well.
You see, straight away those events are narrativised to expedite the passing of legislature which will allow centrist authoritarian aims to be fulfilled.
There are so many analytics that could be deployed for why there is social unrest in Ireland and indeed across the world.
What I would offer you mostly is Anti-globalist movements are rising up everywhere.
It's been happening, I think, probably since 2008.
Whether it was the Occupy movement, which was of course, you might say, generally left-wing.
The Gilets Jaunes movement in France, which is not apolitical, but it's certainly pan-political.
Syriza in Greece in around 2009-2010, that was a left-wing movement.
Podemos in Spain, Left-wing kind of movement, populist movement.
Trump in America, libertarian, conservative movement.
Brexit in the UK, which was just anti-establishment and was regarded as anti-migration.
And guess what?
People are allowed to have an opinion on those kind of things.
That's not anti-democratic to have a view your nation and a view on your culture. In fact in a
democracy you should be able to openly discuss it. Here's an Irish Member of
Parliament openly admitting that what's intended is the foreclosure and shutting down
of liberty and freedom but look at how it's sort of suggested in a way that makes
it sound like almost inevitable and necessary. When you think about it, all law,
all legislation is about the restriction of freedom.
That's exactly what we're doing here, is we are restricting freedom, but we're doing it for the common good.
You will see throughout... If you can't restrict freedom for the common good, unless you think you're right.
In my conversation with Tybee, he said that what you'll learn is, is not...
It's not hate speech that will be the issue, it's who decides what is hate speech that will become the issue.
Who do you trust to decide what hate speech is?
Which one of these state infrastructures, these legacy media infrastructures, these judicial infrastructures do you trust now?
Do you trust any of them?
Do you trust any of them?
The Constitution.
Yes, you have rights, but they are restricted for the common good.
Everything needs to be balanced.
And if your views on other people's identities go to make their lives unsafe, insecure, and cause them such deep discomfort that they cannot live in peace, then I believe that it is our job as legislators to restrict those freedoms for the common good.
Nobody trusts them.
Nobody trusts them.
Everyone thinks it's a WEF ploy, a centralist, globalist ploy.
Don't even trust you, Russ, says Mark LG.
Why would you?
Why would you?
Don't trust.
Verify.
That's what we've got to do.
Fascinating.
Yeah, she's offering some like... In a way, it should be down to us.
to control hateful rhetoric ourselves that's why in that chat there over on rumble you chat about whatever you want to chat about and you can communicate however you wanna over there in the awakened wonders chat on locals there's a lot of beautiful free speech now listen we're gonna uh we're gonna be leaving youtube now and we've got some fantastic content we're talking about the covid those that were expelled from the army for refusing to take the covid 19 vaccination or what do you want to call it? Let me know
what you call it in the chat below.
Have been invited back. Well, there must be a world war on the horizon.
We'll also be looking at Oliver Stone and Bill Maher's conversation where electoral fraud is
openly discussed and Oliver Stone conveys some interesting and indeed surprising...
If you want to find out the answer, click the link in the description.
Join us over on Rumble where we are live.
LeBron James's son and the number of young athletes that are suddenly for reasons that
are as yet unclear suffering from cardiological issues.
What could it be? If you want to find out the answer, click the link in the description. Join us
over on Rumble where we are live.
SkyDaddy1, Love, Limbit, Beauty. I can't even say that name until we're on Rumble.
A lot of the names are pretty profane.
Join us over on Rumble now.
See you in a moment, you awakened wonder.
Are we off YouTube yet?
Should we start with the Oliver Stone and Bill Maher stuff and talk about 2020?
Because what Oliver Stone seems to suggest is that you absolutely cannot trust the outcome elections. He seems surprised that 81 million people, is it
81 million people, voted for Joe Biden.
Some living, others not so living, but although maybe it's the undead that most identify with
Joe Biden. Maybe that's what it is, maybe that's his true demographic. Let's have a look at this
conversation between Bill Maher and Oliver Stone, who just 20 years ago, you both would have been
regarded as sort of old-school lefties. They really said, no you can't take Ivor Merkton
and whatever and the other things.
So it's it's the law, the concept of authoritarian government that is really bothering me.
And I think it bothers you.
This authoritarian, yes, of course, Biden saying, well, you know, we take the vaccine, you know, and yes, that that's one form of it.
I would say the form that Trump is threatening us with is even worse.
And which is what?
Well, I mean, he doesn't concede elections, you know.
The elections only count if we win theory of government.
Well, come on, you know Trump.
He still has not conceded the election.
He has not conceded.
He does not honor the- Okay, I mean, do you know for a fact that he lost?
I'm just curious.
Okay.
You're going to make me- I just don't know all the facts, because- Well, I do.
I don't know.
I mean, you went through the 2000 election.
That was horrifying to me, what happened when the Supreme Court closed that down.
You know, what happened there?
I mean, you know the popular vote was won by... So what, should we just keep counting votes forever?
I mean, should we still be counting the 21?
No, count them correctly.
Let's just get rid of the electoral college.
Let's do a popular vote.
That one is tight.
What I'm saying is... The one that's the easiest to get on board with, you're like, no.
I need all the facts on this.
Well, I don't know the facts, and I think I would trust the accountants more than the politicians.
And I'd like to know what the accountants say, the guys who vote, who know the most about votes, who do the electoral commissions.
You know, it's just I can't take Biden's word for it on anything.
I think what shocked people was that Trump won so many, got so many votes, you know, that was what was shocking, that he did so well compared to what he was expected to do.
Right.
Because we believed all he could have lost.
We believed all the East Coast, the media elite, that he was going to fail and boom.
Yes.
They were wrong.
We love to see them being wrong, don't we, the media elite?
Because they really hate it.
Well, they're wrong a lot.
They went too far in hating, in dumping on Trump.
And people don't like that in America.
You're right.
They don't like dumping on.
You're right.
And they did it too much.
Let me know who you're inclined to agree with in that conversation.
S for Stone, M for Ma.
Meanwhile, the legacy media have very little doubt about whose side they're on.
They've moved into total wish fulfilment.
I think they're reporting, or speculating at least, on the death of Trump.
Let me see this.
Here's what happens if Donald Trump dies while running in the 2024 election.
If it, like, or Stone, nothing but S's in the rumble chat.
S, S, S, S, S. All of you agree with Oliver Stone there. Oliver Stone, he's been anti-establishment
for a while, right back from the JFK days. Yeah, look at that. So this, if anyone's
going to die during the electoral cycle, dear old Joe, but I don't wish that upon anyone, the holy
divine soul that's within him and everything.
Yep, you all agree with Stone.
What's happened, I suppose, is you have, generally speaking, a political class that are so alienated from the people that they've been elected to represent, so plainly funded by establishment interests, so lost in corporatism and globalism, So punitive of their population, so willing to militarise police forces, mobilise anti-protest laws, censor online speech, oppose all potential dissent that no one trusts them, no one likes them.
But Rishi Sunak, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, he is a man of the people.
He's an honest to God, working man.
Why?
You only have to see him operating a hammer to know which side of the line he's on.
Which poses quite a challenge for Rishi Sunak, who is the fifth Conservative Prime Minister this decade.
He didn't know which bit of the hammer you strike a nail with.
I feel like I need to see that again.
Which poses quite a challenge for Rishi Sunak, who is the fifth Conservative Prime Minister this decade.
Because I feel like, even if you've never seen a hammer before, just ergonomically, also culturally, that means he's not ever, not only has he not used a hammer, he's not seen anyone else, oh there's one of those things.
He doesn't know that.
Also the handle, it's not easy to grip it that way.
Yeah, I spoke rational anarchy in the Awaken Wonder chat, at least he didn't use the wooden bit.
Or try and lick it like a lollipop, I suppose.
Like, this is a problem. It's not like they said of the British soldiers in the First World War
that they were lions led by donkeys. Now what we're led by is, I don't know, I mean, they're
twerps, nitwits, goons. Have a look at this dude in Spain, like, trying to operate a cup.
What's the name of the cup?
The starting point.
The starting point...
The starting point is not a starting point.
no es un punto de partida a esto.
Ah, this is not.
Well, it seemed very complex to me.
Taking place at the Center for Investigation, or Investigation.
Like, he couldn't even investigate that that wasn't a cup.
For God's sake!
This is falling apart.
Get Rishi out, says Blue Nose Bob.
People are still just pressing S. Sheep led by wolves ruled by pigs, says Gary299.
Over 15,000 of us now are watching it in the Rumble Chat.
Good few more watching us in the Awakened Wonder World over on Locals.
You know, when... Do you remember the pandemic?
Oh, not really, no.
Oh, well one was, is everyone had to stay in their house because of a cold with a pretty good PR firm behind it, imprisoned the global population.
There was a movement to expel people that wouldn't take what you lot I know would call experimental medication.
Even the US Army kicked out a couple of thousand soldiers.
Sadly, now though, as war looms, they've had to invite them back.
I wonder if the same will be extended to the many key workers across New York.
I think 34,000 of them lost their jobs for refusing to take that medication.
But in the army, You're welcome back now.
So surely war is an inevitability.
Let's have a look at that right now.
Let us know in the chat whether you think we're on the right track.
Let us know if you complied or refused.
If you refused, put R. If you complied, put C. And we love you either way because you're all welcome here.
And if there's any stories you want us to cover in the back half of the show, post a link in the description and we'll discuss them if we can on the way back out of Here's the News.
No!
Here's the F in news.
Here's the news.
No.
Here's the fucking news.
The American army have said all the soldiers they kicked out for not taking the shot can come back now.
Probably because there's going to be a massive world war.
You can come back now.
You don't need to take the shot.
You're going to die in a war anyway.
It seems that there's an escalation in military activity across the world.
You know that, right?
There's Middle Eastern wars, there's a Ukraine-Russia war, there's a potential war with China, free for the price of one.
Well, certainly all of the funding is packaged together, although it's quite complicated because the Pentagon can never pass an audit, so you never fully know where all of this money, your money, is going.
But we do know that about half of it ends up with the military-industrial complex, and that possibly means they benefit from wars and Maybe escalate tensions through lobbying, through donations, in ways where diplomacy might be more helpful.
This means ultimately though, in the end, you need soldiers if you're going to have to have war all the time.
So you can't be so fussy about who you have in the army.
You can't insist that the army is representative and diverse, even though personally I think that would be a wonderful thing.
And you certainly can't insist that everyone takes experimental medications.
Is it okay to call them that?
Because certainly many military personnel refused to take the Covid jab And were unceremoniously kicked out or voluntarily separated or something like that from the army.
So the army have had to invite those people to rejoin because they're in the middle of a recruitment crisis.
Why could that be?
And what does their recruitment drive suggest might be on the horizon?
Let me know in the chat.
Is it World War Three?
In the meantime, the U.S.
Army facing repercussions of its COVID-era policy.
It says its cuts over vaccine mandates have weakened the size of its force and are now calling on them to come on back to service.
Come on back to service.
What are you doing?
We were only joking.
Bill, good morning.
The Army kicked out more than 1,900 soldiers for refusing a COVID vaccine.
At least 19 of them have now been welcomed back to active duty.
A letter signed by Brigadier General Hope Rampe, Army Director of Personnel Management, says, quote, as a result of the rescission of all current COVID-19 vaccination requirements.
That's interesting.
Why would you rescind them?
Did we find out anything in particular, anything interesting?
Are they as valid as they ever were?
Have we stopped following the science or did the science lead us somewhere unexpected?
Former soldiers who were involuntarily separated for their refusal to receive the COVID-19 vaccination may request a correction of their military records.
The Army is struggling when it comes to meeting its recruiting goals.
Active duty has dropped from 485,000 in 2021 to about 452,000.
Its goals for fiscal 2023, which ended at the end of September, was 65,000 new recruits.
The army came up 10,000 short, so army leadership is outselling service.
Okay, so people aren't signing up to serve their nation in the same way they once were, perhaps because they've become aware that they are going to be treated appallingly and discarded at the earliest convenience, or earlier if they won't take medication on time.
Let's get into it.
The US Army is having such a difficult time recruiting that it's sending soldiers who were kicked out for refusing to get vaccinated against COVID-19 instructions on how to rejoin.
What a beautiful little process that is.
Did you see this post?
Oh shit, a new US Army recruitment ad dropped and it's all straight white men.
We are definitely going to war.
But which war will it be?
Because there are so many to choose from.
Firstly, Ukraine.
Lloyd Austin arriving in Kiev this week, meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky and other top Ukrainian officials and affirming America's commitment to Ukraine's war effort, both verbally and financially, saying that the U.S.
support will continue for the long haul and announcing an additional $100 million in weapons being sent to the embattled country.
Former Director of Raytheon Lloyd Austin there.
U.S.
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced $100 million in new military aid to Ukraine during an unannounced visit to Kiev on Monday, pledging long-term American support amid growing concerns about the sustainability of vital U.S.
assistance.
Because, generally speaking, it's accepted that that conflict is not going in the direction that the U.S.
had hoped.
Well, certainly not the direction they said it would go in.
Or could it be the Middle East?
The Biden administration and Israeli officials have held secret talks on stationing American troops in Gaza after Hamas is defeated, according to a report.
Among options being discussed is a multinational force that could include US troops, sources told Bloomberg.
Or finally, and perhaps most terrifyingly, China.
China!
Seven Republican members of the House's China Committee, led by Representative Mike Gallagher, sent a letter to congressional leaders on Sunday calling for an additional $12 billion to be added to President Biden's behemoth $105 billion spending request.
Biden's request includes military aid for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and funding for border security.
The lawmakers said they support arming Ukraine and Israel but want more focus on preparing for a future conflict with China.
Biden's $105 billion request already includes $7.4 billion dedicated to the Indo-Pacific region.
As happens nearly every year, more than half of this sum will likely go to Pentagon contractors.
Pentagon spending has totaled over $14 trillion since the start of the war in Afghanistan, with one-half of the total going to military contractors.
A large portion of these contracts, one-quarter, one-third of all Pentagon contracts in recent years, have gone to just five major corporations.
Lockheed Martin, Boeing, General Dynamics, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman.
They've also enlisted some VIP help, with Dwayne the Rock Johnson visiting the Pentagon to talk recruiting last week.
It is critical, as Pentagon brass expects the army to play a significant role if there's conflict in Asia.
When people that refuse to take jabs are invited back, when celebrities are invited for photo ops, it seems that there's a serious problem.
And why would there be a serious problem?
Ultimately, there have to be real life consequences to all these extraordinary financially motivated conflicts that appear to be escalating across the world.
I tend to think that the Army will have a huge supporting role for the joint force in the Indo-Pacific.
And in that regard, what do I mean by that?
I think the Army will play a core role in establishing and protecting staging bases for our air forces, for our maritime forces.
China, the establishment of bases in that region.
That's a pretty significant escalation.
And Ukraine, which has fallen off many people's agenda because of the escalation of conflicts in the Middle East, is still an ongoing conflict.
The Ukrainian army is getting older by the day.
I mean, I suppose we're all getting older by the day, but not the same rate as the Ukrainian army that now looks like a sort of geriatric division.
Have a look at this.
I've been waiting for you for so many days and nights.
I've been praying to heaven that my day has come.
Perhaps a significant portion of this recent funding boom will be spent on Zimmer frames, walkers, blankets.
The new outreach to these soldiers comes amid a recruiting crisis for the US military.
In 2022, the army fell short of its recruiting goal by about 15,000 soldiers or 25% Army Times reported.
Why would that be?
Military families are reporting housing, health and financial challenges according to a survey released by the Military Family Advisory Network, which found that nearly a quarter of enlisted families are experiencing food insecurity and that more than 60% of respondents pay more than they can comfortably afford for housing.
One fifth of active service families and nearly 40% of veteran families surveyed reported less than $500 of emergency savings or no emergency savings fund.
And over three quarters of military families indicated that they carry debt.

Almost 40,000 veterans are without shelter in the US on on any given night.
The leading causes of homelessness among vets are PTSD, social isolation, unemployment, and substance abuse.
Veterans account for 11% of homeless adults in the U.S.
Probably that's not mentioned in the recent recruitment drive.
Join the army, good chance you're going to end up homeless, and even while you're still in the army, good chance that you're suffering financially.
It's an extraordinary distinction between the language when you're on your way into the army and the language you're in your On your way out of it.
Come back!
Come back!
Sorry about that.
You can take whatever shots you want and please don't feel obligated.
Now get out there!
There's a sleeping bag!
Even more insulting to these impecuniated military personnel is the fact that the Pentagon can't pass an audit.
50% of all this money seems to end up in the hands of the military-industrial complex.
Where's the other half going?
Don't ask the Pentagon.
They don't know.
Another year gone by, another Pentagon audit failed.
The Defense Department's taking a sizable chunk of your paycheck.
However, it's unable to prove how it's actually spending those taxes.
For the sixth year in a row now, and counting, the Pentagon has failed its yearly audit.
I think, after a while, you're going to have to stop auditing them.
It seems pointless.
Are you going to do an audit this year?
I'm sorry.
It's just another blank form from us.
Look, the Department of Defense has around $4 trillion in assets.
We're talking about weapons and other supplies.
But this audit report found that around half of those assets can't be accounted for.
Federal government agencies face yearly audits as determined by federal law.
And look, the Pentagon, like I said, has failed six years in a row.
According to the Department of Defense, the Pentagon passed seven of its 29 sub-audits this year.
The Department of Defense makes up more than half of all U.S.
discretionary spending.
In response to the audit findings, Pentagon staff recently said the results gave a big opportunity to improve.
Take a listen.
We're working on improving our process.
Well, I would think so, given that you can't pass an audit.
Doesn't that seem extraordinary that a department that's responsible for world events, significant world events, wars, at a time of escalating war across the entire planet, can't account for where the money is going?
Doesn't that seem extraordinary to you?
Almost unacceptable.
Almost the point of revolutionary change being required, where the army cannot recruit anymore, the military personnel that are in position are, broadly speaking, not being very well looked after, there's a high likelihood that you'll end up homeless as a vet, and the Pentagon won't tell you where 50% of the money is.
And we only know where the other 50% is because it's with Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, who, for all their failings, do keep pretty good books.
Every time we miss one of these audits, we are getting better and better at audits.
I mean, when we failed that one three years ago, we really failed it.
This one, sure, we still failed it, but we failed it much less badly.
If you can't pass an audit, you shouldn't be trusted with Wars, and lobbying for wars, and funding wars, and sending weaponry around the world, and having a relationship with the US government where they broker deals with autocracies around the world.
57% of the world's autocracies buying weapons.
Doesn't it seem to you to be a bit messy?
You know, it's a continuing and ongoing process that this building is assessing.
I don't know how the building's going to solve the problem.
It's the people in it that you need to ask.
The US military appears unfazed in its inability to account for billions of dollars.
On Thursday, the Department of Defence failed its sixth consecutive audit but hailed its incremental progress.
There's no prize for failing an audit.
Do we get some sort of fifth place, sixth place, you tried your best type ribbon?
No, not when you're starting wars.
We are progressing incrementally.
Could we get another hundred million for Ukraine?
We're sure they can win it this week.
As the Pentagon budget nears a watershed $1 trillion, the largest of any federal government agency, it has never passed a single one of the annual audits mandated by Congress.
In a press briefing, the Department of Defense said it had no timeline for passing an audit.
Well, if you can't pass the audit, could you at least tell us when you might pass an audit?
What, in terms of time?
Yeah, like, you know, in a month, two months, next year.
Time is not the right measurement.
We can give you a colour, and that colour is green.
We think we can pass it green.
Well, I'll just go ahead and write that in my file with my magic pen.
We've heard the same platitudes about audit progress for years, said Julia Gledhill, an analyst at the Project on Government Oversight Centre for Defence Information.
They're meaningless, especially since the Pentagon can't even commit to a timeline for achieving a clean audit.
Can't even commit to it.
Not only will they not do it, they won't tell you when they will do it.
Their business is not selling ice creams to children.
It's selling missiles around the world that requires the ongoing perpetuation of war.
You want them at least to know, wouldn't you, where the money was or where it is?
We can't keep track on all of our expenditure.
That's the very minimum they could do.
Former Pentagon Comptroller Thomas Harker, now the Secretary of the Navy, had publicly set a deadline of 2027 for a clean audit.
But officials have since distanced the military from that time frame.
Former Comptroller Harker signalled 2027 back in 2020, but the department has completely rolled back on that, Gledhill said.
There's no incentive to improve.
Have you ever tried negotiating with the IRS or the Inland Revenue or any tax services?
Have you ever said to them, look, we'll try and do our best.
We'll try and give you something for 2027.
And then call back later and go, listen, it's not going to be 2027.
What are they like?
Like, OK, just take your time.
You give us that money whenever you want.
Or is it more like, you're going to prison?
Prison?
I can't go to prison.
We keep getting better and better at it.
Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said of the audit failure, They can pass their own audits if we think we're doing well past, but external audits they simply cannot and will not pass.
I'll just say that we remain a trusted institution.
Yeah, by yourself, Pentagon controller Michael J. McCord said during a separate press briefing about the audit.
They can't even keep it to one press brief.
Even the press briefings are getting out of hand.
Where are all these press briefings?
I'm doing one over here!
I just did a press briefing, you idiot!
We've made a lot of progress to date.
When a reporter pushed back on McCord's claim, he conceded that the number of unmodified opinions, instances where an auditor concludes a financial statement is presented fairly, was unchanged since last year.
It was static from last year, McCord said, but we still believe that we have seen signs of progress that are going to get us more favourable in the future.
This is how I deal with my children.
You know, if they're not tidied up their room, well, all right, you try to put some stuff back in a drawer.
This is the Pentagon.
McCord also acknowledged that the number of disclaimers when auditees provide insufficient documentation to be audited has increased.
Despite these facts, McCord pointed to subtle forms of progress.
Have you not seen these subtle forms of progress over here?
For example, I've had the lighting in this room redone.
We've got a dimmer switch.
Oh no, that launches missiles into Crimea!
Ah, never mind, we were gonna do that anyway.
But yes, but what I'm talking about is progress sort of beneath the surface of a pass-fail for the entire army, McCord said.
They're gonna need a submarine to monitor their own service.
Where did we put that submarine?
Who paid for it?
Oh my god, I think it's with a Mexican drug cartel!
You idiots!
Asked by a reporter when the Pentagon expects to pass an audit, Singh said that she can't predict the future.
It's not the future, this is not...
So you're basically asking me to predict the future?
Well, not really.
I'm asking you, sort of, when the money comes in, uh-huh, just write that down.
Good.
And then when you sort of spend it, okay, gotcha, yeah, well, just write down where you spent it.
No, I can't.
Listen, I'm not magic, okay?
I've not got a crystal ball here.
And if we did have, we'd take that damn thing and we'd throw it straight at Moscow.
But when the Pentagon did, she would let them know.
It's kind of actually resorting to sarcasm.
What are they, 14-year-old kids?
It's like mean girls running the Pentagon.
You're, like, really pretty.
Thank you.
So you agree?
What?
You think you're really pretty.
On the one hand, the Pentagon is far and away the most complex federal agency, said William Hartung, a senior research fellow at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, but they have been legally required to pass an audit for decades and have clearly not made it a priority.
What are they doing over there?
As long as the money keeps flowing and there are no consequences for failure, he said, we can expect the Pentagon to fail audits year after year with no end in sight.
Yeah, they're not going to prioritise it, are they?
They're not going to say we'd better pass an audit because we don't ever pass audits and it doesn't seem to matter.
Let's focus on what we do best, destabilising the world and ensuring that Lockheed Martin and Raytheon can take 50% of the budgets provided by the American taxpayer every single year.
As long as the army doesn't run out of personnel, as long as in Ukraine they're not I'm used to employing the elderly and dragging people out of coffins and defibrillating them back into active service.
Does this seem like the type of stability that you would require before marching into war or signing up for the American military?
I feel a little bit anxious about an organization whose funding is provided by sarcastic and adolescent stuff.
We can't predict the future.
I don't know what happened to my money.
Young lady, you will tidy that room.
Yeah, whatever, man.
So it seems like the most sarcastic, ridiculous and juvenile way to run a country.
Don't you sometimes get the impression that the world is going crazy and you can sort of personally see ways that it could improve?
Like, hey, have the Pentagon pass audits, ban lobbying, stop giving half the money to bloody Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, treat people fairly and responsibly, pay military personnel sensibly, get rid of the Plight of homeless vets.
That should be like, homelessness itself should be outlawed and annihilated.
But my God, when these people have seen service, surely it's a priority to look after them.
But now all of these ideas are just out in the ether, broadly ignored, and you're told you're crazy for even contemplating those things.
So, whether or not you've had your COVID jabs, you are welcome in the American army, but you are going to have to turn a blind eye, and who knows, that might be one of the adverse events coming up one of these days, to the shoddy way that the American military is run, the constantly escalating wars around the world, the inability of the Pentagon to pass an audit.
There's a lot of things that you're going to have to ignore to be patriotic these days, not when it comes to the nation of America, but when it comes to the institutions that run it.
But that's just what I think.
Let me know what you think in the chat.
See you in a second!
Thanks for refusing Foxy.
You're just a dude.
No, he's the fucking loser!
Well, well, well.

Yeah!
These are all good points.
Hello RiverDeepMountainHigh, ChristopherJohnson69.
Are we at 20,000 yet?
No, we're not.

The Ferris Monster.
For most people that would be considered a very saucy tweet, or post rather, but I read what you mostly put in that chat and that was very sensible for you.
Well done.
You're heading in the right direction, moving towards politics.
Let's have a look at Madeline Albright, as a member of our community pointed out.
Who was it that said that?
The Madeline Albright one.
I just read it.
It was up on the screen a minute ago.
Find that for us.
Ah, ChatterX.
ChatterX, yeah.
Is the price worth it?
Oh, I see, it's a still.
OK.
We have heard that half a million children have died.
I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima.
And, you know, is the price worth it?
I think this is a very hard choice, but the price, we think the price is worth it.
There you go.
That's enough that'll do for that.
Wow, pretty crazy.
So we've got loads more things to show you.
No, bad dog.
Where's all the other stuff?
Thanks, guys.
Excuse me, let me feed this dog.
You know, the excess deaths are up 20%.
Did you know that?
20%, that can't be right.
And sudden cardiac arrest is now the leading cause of death in young athletes, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Young athletes, the healthiest among us.
That's not right, is it?
What could have happened that would have meant the world's healthiest people are suddenly experiencing a 20% upsurge in heart disease?
Has anything happened?
Let me know in the chat.
What could it be?
What could it be?
Let me know, guys.
A prize of a free Moderna shot to whoever can answer that most succinctly.
This is a story about LeBron James' son.
I don't know what complications his son has experienced.
Let's have a look.
LeBron James and his family.
LeBron's son, Bronny, went into cardiac arrest during basketball practice.
He's a freshman at USC.
We have team coverage tonight.
We'll start with sports director Don Bell.
What happened?
Yes, scary story.
Listen, the University of Southern California basketball team is preparing for a European tour next week through Greece and Croatia.
But Hoops is taking a step back after what happened yesterday during practice.
Los Angeles, there is a heightened awareness of young people and when they have these kinds of health issues, especially when it happens on the court, we're reminded of that.
Yeah, well that's all well and good.
Let's see what Pete McCulloch has to say though.
else so I think everyone's just happy that he got to the hospital.
Yeah well that's all well and good. Let's see what Peter McCulloch has to say though.
Peter McCulloch you might rely on because for a long time since the
beginning of the pandemic Peter McCulloch has been saying that the spike
protein won't stay local, that it could lead to pericarditis, myocarditis, ideas
that have been discussed since the beginning of the pandemic that would have
got you banned from social media spaces were it not for the ongoing conversation
led by you.
Were it not for that, this stuff wouldn't be getting discussed at all.
Let's have a look at what Peter McCulloch's got to say.
that we're seeing such a rise in all of this. On this note, actually, this week, I read an article
in People magazine where yet another teenager collapsed after competing a cross-country race.
And I think the most disturbing thing about this article was that this high school sophomore
student was exceedingly healthy, as described by his own friends and family. But, of course,
the article said nothing about the possible effects of the vaccine here. Dr. Mercola,
will we continue to see this occur, or at some point, will these sudden deaths become less and
I mean, is the damage already done, or is this really just ramping up?
It's disturbing to see sudden cardiac deaths, cardiac arrests, well documented now, two years after taking the shot.
Now, we don't know if this boy took the shot or not, but all high school kids are screened for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the most common cause of a sudden death in an athletic event.
With a physical exam, EKG, sometimes cardiac ultrasound.
So we have a much better safety profile for kids in high school sports.
But what we're seeing is we're seeing athletes of all ranges in the peak of exertion suffer cardiac death.
And the case to really examine is Oscar Cabrera Adamas.
He's a Dominican basketball player.
Oh my god, this is such a downer.
Listen, let me just... It's not all that bad.
Have a look at the other side of what... Do you care about health?
Well then, have a look at this little Moderna commercial.
When it comes to your health, you do you.
You ping and pong that body.
You plunge that body.
You green that body.
You brainpower that body.
You practice and practice that body.
Yeah, that's right.
It was too much of a downer learning that about those vaccines killing people.
Look on the bright side.
You make it rain that body.
You flu shot that body and now you spike vax that body because even though the pandemic is over, COVID-19... What possible incentive could there be?
I mean, it was a terrible risk at the height of it.
Now that it's over, Jesus Christ.
Listen, what I want to say to you lot, you know I love you.
I look at you in the chat.
UFO limited hangout.
Ooga booga.
I'm Frank Rizzo One, Gringo Star, Roger Clemency, I love all of you.
And what I believe we need more than anything is a new unity.
Unified but decentralised power.
True protests of disobedience, of stopping paying taxes, stopping paying back debt.
Meaningful movements have got to emerge out of this, otherwise we're in serious trouble.
And some of the alliances that I've formed have been pretty surprising.
Like my great love of Will Harris.
You might not know who Will Harris is.
He runs what they called White Oak Pastures Farm.
He's a beef farmer.
I don't eat meat.
Will Harris is a beef farmer.
And yet we've become friends.
The origin of our friendship was because I offered him a kimono.
In response to none other than Hunter Biden saying, I don't have to open my kimono for you, it inspired me to offer my guest Will Harris a kimono.
This is a little story about my friendship with Will Harris, the beef farmer and beefcake.
I want to remind our viewers and show any new viewers what happened last time Will was on our show.
Now at that time we were talking a lot about dear Hunter Biden and Hunter Biden's business practices and Will was patiently waiting for the interview to begin watching the conversation take place where Hunter defended his business practices, perhaps his place on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian natural gas company and the other questions that arose out of the
Hunter Biden laptop story.
This is how he defended himself when speaking to a mainstream legacy media journalist.
Have a look at this.
I don't have to sit here and open my kimono as it relates to how much money I make or
make or did or didn't.
When we were talking about that, like at the time, we thought, open your kimono is a very
evocative piece of language.
I wasn't aware that Will Harris was waiting there and look, here I am sort of discussing it.
Will, thank you so much for joining us on the show.
Thank you for having me, but full disclosure, I do not own a kimono.
Well, you're one of the few men who I would welcome the opportunity to interview in a kimono, open or closed, or in any state.
But I imagine that you're a person that simply sleeps naked, is going to be my first guess.
Maybe, I don't know what you wear in lieu of pyjamas.
Why are you going into this?
Sorry.
I do sleep naked.
I do not own pajamas or a kimono.
We can confirm that now, that Will Harries is a man who sleeps naked.
Will, we're going to send you a kimono.
It's something we've been planning for a long while.
We're just trying to find one that's right and duly erotic.
And then it's coming to you in Georgia.
Well, you said you were going to send me one last time, Russell.
It never came.
So your credibility is a little bit suspect here.
A little bit.
Credibility with the issue.
But let's do it now.
I'll send you this bathrobe, which I love.
But it's got to be silk.
I'm thinking it's got to be silk.
And I'm thinking it's got to be short.
So we sent him one anyway.
And this is what he's What has he sent to me?
This is from Will.
This is from Will Harris.
Janny showed me the video announcing the imminent arrival of my kimono.
Thank you. I've never had one.
For humble effort to be equally magnanimous, I'm sending you one.
Enjoy.
And I'll see ya on WAP, which I imagine is White Oak Postures.
We've exchanged kimonos.
Do we have an image of the one we sent him?
So thank you.
There we go.
That kimono has arrived.
Jamie Jam has asked us to cover the Conor McGregor involvement in Dublin, the escalation of tensions in Dublin, the riots and the introduction of extraordinary legislation, the imminent introduction.
Let's have a look at that.
The Irish police investigate Conor McGregor over riot tweets.
Irish police are reportedly investigating Conor McGregor's social media posts amid rising concern about the spread of hate speech.
You see how they utilize it?
Yeah, we're all going to be wearing kimonos, maxima tights, for, for, for, for, for.
It is lovely that he sent a gift.
It's lovely.
A denim kimono, Lady Grey.
Indeed.
Mr. McGregor, an MMA star from Dublin who is known for controversial rants.
Also, For being a really good UFC fighter.
That's interesting right?
Because that's what's happening.
Is that any call for change is being delegitimized by one means or another.
That seems to be the intention.
Responding to a message from Britain's first leader, Paul Golding, on ex-formerly known as Twitter, calling for him to organise a freedom march, McGregor said the violence had achieved nothing towards fixing the issues we face.
What did he post, Conor McGregor?
Innocent children stabbed, mentally deranged, non-national.
Our Chief of Police had this to say.
Drew, not good enough.
There is grave danger among us in Ireland that should never be here in the first place.
There's been zero action to support the public in any way, shape or form.
With this frightening fact, not good enough.
It's an Irish man, he's angry about it, huh?
It's not condoning the rights.
He's been pretty clear about that.
I guess they want to have a conversation, certainly Conor McGregor does, about About migration and about some of the concomitant social issues.
If they hate what you... Mickey licks it.
If they hate what you say, it's considered hate speech.
Yeah!
Go Conor, they can ignore us but not you, says Orange Tosh.
You know, like, I feel that it essentially moves democracy as close to people affected by decisions as possible.
Yeah.
Simply get yourself a spike vax and shut up.
Get in your house.
You know...
It's extraordinary, the way that we are being censored and shut down.
You've got to say that if Conor McGregor wants to have an opinion on matters in his nation, he's entitled to that, I would say.
Hey, listen, you lot, I think that's it, is it?
I think that's it for today.
Listen, so we're gonna leave you now until tomorrow.
Thank you so much for joining us.
Are you chapping?
Frankly done, Lefarious Monster, Thracian88, Alexandros Werewolf, all of you guys, thank you very much for joining us today.
Join us tomorrow for another show.
All of you in the locals chat, Warrior Spirit EXP, Mrs Terry, Christine Elise, Rational Anarchy, Beth in the Wild, Miles Driver.
I love you all.
We've got Matt Taibbi on the show later and he gives us some interesting revelations about the censorship industrial complex.
He gives us some interesting insights on how...
Even incidents like the Dublin riots are being used to shut down free speech.
And he gives me hope that to counter globalism, we must form a truly global, unified yet decentralised movement where we can oppose this corporatism, this foreclosure of our futures, this closing down of independent free thought.
We can oppose it together, but in order to do it, you have to find some real love in your hearts.
We're going to have to find some real love in our hearts.
We're going to have to be willing to form alliances with people we disagree with, which, if you think about it, in a decentralized culture, it wouldn't matter, because people could run communities over there that are entirely based on their ideology, and over here, entirely based on their ideology.
As long as we can unite and oppose the centralized authoritarian global forces that benefit from us being opposed to one another, We'll be laughing.
Alright guys, yeah, I saw about Tommy Robinson getting arrested.
It looked to me, from footage I saw, he was arrested on arrival.
That was very... that don't look that democratic to me.
Yes, Digit Hippie, we can explore space, inner and outer, together in peace.
Thank you for joining us.
Thank you particularly if you support our content.
I'm talking to new members like Yng Ping, Stock Puppet, very funny, Eleven Santafe, Cizel and Christy Garcia.
Join us tomorrow, not for more of the same, but for more of the different.
Until then, if you can, stay free.
