Hey you Awake and Wonders, thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand.
We've got a fantastic show today.
Even as we speak, Tucker is trying to trump his last interview, which I think was very good, with a plucky little outsider called ol' Russ.
He's gonna talk to Putin.
Will that interview be as well covered?
Will it be as interesting?
Will it be as pivotal for the future?
Of the world.
So we're going to be talking a bit about Tucker going to Russia to interview Putin.
He's bringing a bit of footage of Tucker even before he's anywhere near Putin.
He's in a hotel and you can hear he's using Russian manners.
Any of you that know Russian people will know what I mean by Russian manners.
You do not go chuckling and being too, what I call, flamboyant around Russian people.
Haven't they got like a phrase, like something like, he who smiles gets a smack in the mouth.
I'd like to talk to Lex Friedman about that one day.
I've spent some time around Russian people.
They don't play.
I'd say they're the sort of country that you should think very carefully before going to war with, and if there is a diplomatic solution available, take the diplomatic solution!
Again, I can't express my sympathy for the Ukrainian people who are suffering in this war, and indeed the Russian people who are suffering in this war, enough.
And of course that is just a purported interview with Putin at the moment, although I'm pretty sure it's gonna happen.
In here's the news, we're gonna be exploring the new Child Safety Act, which Well, the fact that it's called the Child Safety Act suggests it's not anything to do with bloody child safety.
It's going to be about government control over social media.
You'll love it.
You'll enjoy seeing Zuckerberg participate in a piece of propaganda.
You'll enjoy seeing the rather dignified head of TikTok spoken to as if he's a rent boy.
It's pretty extraordinary and amusing and I think you'll like it.
I'm just hearing, of course, that some people are saying that Tucker could be in Russia to talk to Snowden.
That's a pretty good interview, but You want to see the Putin interview, don't you?
That's the thing you really want to see.
Now if you want to see our conversation with Tucker, that is up For our Awakened Wonders, right now!
In fact, have we got, uh, where's our, like, we're going to play that, um, we're going to play that for you, because if you're watching this on YouTube, we got, the show today is brilliant.
We're going to start off with Tucker and Putin, then we're going to talk about the new Apple Goggles.
You know those Apple Goggles?
The augmented reality?
They're absolutely, well, this is the thing where I'm conflicted by technology.
These Apple Goggles look bloody brilliant, but they also I'm going to present an opportunity to literally control our total experience of reality.
If you're watching this on YouTube, we're going to do about 15 minutes over there, then the rest of our fun-packed, jam-packed, free-speaking, free-wheeling hour will be over on that stream of freedom Here's a little moment from my conversation with Tucker Carlson to whet your appetite if you're considering becoming an Awakened Wonder and supporting our work.
This is where he's speaking out against dictatorships, and I notice that my dog Bear, who's in this room somewhere,
has managed to get dog hair on his upper pectoral.
Have a look.
People want a dictator, actually.
I mean, the founders of my country certainly believe that, and they set all these very complicated systems in place
to deny people their desire to be ruled over.
You should get dog hair there just as you were outlining the American... I'm so covered in dog hair!
Have a look at that.
That's exclusively available for our Awakened Wonders.
Meanwhile Tucker is using a very different aspect of his persona because he is in Russia!
Let's have a look at our legacy media reporting on that.
Tucker Carlson apparently pictured in Russia amid rumours of interview with Putin.
Former Fox News host, check this, bit of propaganda even there, who is sympathetic to the Russian president, appeared in Kremlin media at a performance of Spartacus in Moscow.
A few things to unpack there.
I don't know that You would say that Tucker Carlson is sympathetic to the Russian president.
It's just like, you know, we showed you last week there was a poll of 40,000 people in our country where we were asked, who would you vote for?
Rishi Sunak, Moderna investor, W.E.F.
Stooge, Keir Starmer, centralist Davos affiliate of Vladimir Putin.
And you know what people are like now?
People went, Putin!
We'd vote for Putin!
People are so now...
Throbbing with anti-establishmentism that we'd literally roll the dice on former KGB agent Putin.
Is it Vladimir Putin?
Like, I should learn the name of actual world leaders given the job I do.
Who's that guy over there in front of that castle?
That's the Kremlin.
Aha, he seems pretty cross.
Yeah, he's the president of Russia.
Frightening guy.
Has he got a first name at all?
Listen, I'm too busy.
And who's this last guy, Boris Yeltsin?
All right, I've not got time to educate you.
Nevertheless, what I would say is that what Tucker Carlson's not done is immediately bent over to globalist, anti-war, jingoist rhetoric that... Do you remember?
Check this out, just as an example.
After the Second World War, and during the Second World War in fact, Japanese American citizens were put into internment camps, weren't they?
It's like, well, we're at war with Japan.
We've got to round up Japanese people.
And then, like, after the Second World War, there was a kind of reckoning.
Was that right that we did that to Japanese people?
Didn't we mistreat them a little?
Was that the right way to behave?
And now we're back to the kind of jingoism that preceded it.
Like, oh, well, if you're Russian, if you're Russian, you're a baddie.
If it's Solzhenitsyn, Tchaikovsky, Lex Friedman, Konstantin over in our country, They're baddies.
They're like, you know, we're not at war with Russia purportedly, are we?
We may be advocating for, supporting, financing Ukraine's war with them and not questioning the principles of Ukrainian democracy.
A lot of Ukrainian people think that Ukrainian democracy is in Serious trouble.
Now, former Chief of Staff Bill Kristol, who played a leading role in advocating for the 2003 invasion of Iraq, also is the director of a group called Defending Democracy.
Check out where that's funded.
It'll be one of those organizations called Defending Democracy.
Brought to you by Pfizer!
Bought to you by Northrop Grumman, won't it?
I mean, I haven't even done this research yet.
Why don't one of you in the rumble chat, I'm talking about you central scrutiniser, you, Steve McGraw, find out now where Defending Democracy gets its funding from.
I bet it ain't from the Girl Guides.
I bet you it ain't.
Anyway, this is what he posted about Tucker, literally saying, Perhaps we need a total and complete shutdown of Tucker Carlson re-entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what's going on.
That's a late-night tweet, Bill.
He's taking Elon Musk's advice, isn't he?
And doing his own ex-posts, and maybe some people shouldn't do that.
Tucker Carlson's a journalist.
A journalist has every right to speak to a world leader.
I think what they're realizing now... Tell me if you agree with this.
I think what they're realizing Tucker Carlson is like a monarch of online space and journalism, okay?
Isn't he?
If Tucker Carlson posts a conversation on X that won't censor it because of Elon Musk with Putin, and Putin says, if you let us have Crimea, if you allow some sovereignty and autonomy for Russian natives in the area of Donbass, the disputed region of Donbass, and if Ukraine don't join NATO, we'll end this war tomorrow.
Now if that gets said, and we all see it, how many of you want your taxpayer dollars and pounds going upstream to NATO?
How many of you even know what NATO is for in the post-Cold War world?
How many of you wouldn't welcome a genuine reckoning when it comes to the role of the IMF, the World Bank, the WHO, the WEF, NATO?
What are all these things doing for you lately?
They helping you with your grocery prices?
They helping you with your energy prices?
They helping you in your community?
They helping your democracy?
They helping you in your marriage?
They helping you in your relationship with God?
Oh no!
I don't know what I'll do if NATO gets ended!
The truth is I literally don't know because as far as I know maybe Russia is an imperialist expansionist nation that has designs to recreate the Soviet Union.
Maybe they are a nation of Mongol people that will stop at nothing until they've achieved total control.
You know what?
I'd like to see an interview with a guy that's running that country and to say that it's like a Treason to have that conversation.
What kind of moronic language is that?
What do the legacy media think they're playing at?
What do they think they're dealing with?
Dupes, dopes, and rubes from rinky-dink towns that don't know nothing, that can't assess information for themselves?
Is that what they think we are?
We know that the answer is yes.
That's exactly what you think you are.
They think you are, excuse me.
You can think whatever you want in your own private consciousness for now until the Apple goggles are on and then you'll think whatever the state demands you think.
Another move that offers leisure and convenience that ultimately might end up controlling the spaces of your attention.
In our conversation with Vivek Ramaswamy that our community on Locals joined us for, we talked about that attitude of parentalism.
I liked it.
I liked it a lot because what I like was is he said that what they believe in, essentially, the establishment, let's call it, for simplicity's sake, the NATOs, the WHO, the neocons, the neoliberal organization, what they believe in is parentalism.
They believe that you don't know how to assess information.
That's why they advocate for censorship because they think, oh my god, if those poor fools see all this information, They're going to make bad decisions.
They mean your humble narrator in the rumble chat.
They mean FX Extreme.
They mean Ghoststar.
All of you are too stupid, they think.
We even talked about controlled opposition, you know, because I see some people talking about my tattoo.
I love the tattoo.
33 vertebrae in the spine.
I love our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
33.
Sacred number.
I'm telling you, do some research.
You will not find me in the Masons or the Illuminati.
Let's have a look at Tucker in a Russian hotel and anyone that spent My name is Alexey.
I like what you do.
that stay calm around them because they can you know they can get pretty leery
My name is Alexey. I like you. You are the best American journalist. Thank you.
I love this city.
It's beautiful.
What are you doing in Russia?
I wanted to see it.
You know, you sort of go, thank you, thank you.
Or maybe if you're at a funeral, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Moscow.
I love this city. It's beautiful.
Thank you, thank you.
It's really, yes, yes.
What are you doing in Russia?
I wanted to see it. I read so much about it.
Has Taka got every right to be in Russia and talk to Putin or Edward Snowden?
He's a journalist, isn't he?
He's communicating with the world.
We did a poll earlier on a number of sites.
Let's have a look at those poll results right now.
We asked you, does he have every right?
This is good, the way we pose this question here.
45,000 of you voted.
Who's the real traitor?
Joe Biden for continuing to fund the Ukraine war or Tucker Carlson for maybe interviewing Putin in Russia?
Do you believe in democracy?
Do you believe in referenda?
If so, I've read so much about it, but I've never seen it before.
So I wanted to talk to people and see how it's going.
I won't mention that, I think.
And it's doing very well.
Let's carry on, if I press play, it's going to continue with Tucker where we left off. Let's have a look. No. So
let's continue with Tucker where we left off.
Thank you.
You know, because I've read so much about it, but I've never seen a performance.
So I wanted to try and talk to people about it. I won't mention that, I think.
And it's doing very well.
I think, uh...
Maybe we can take an interview with Putin?
Putin?
Oh, why, uh, you know, this Moscow...
Oh.
American media.
I don't know.
They're crazy.
That, in America, or the UK, would have been a Tucker laugh, no?
You know, when he goes, ha ha ha!
You know, when he does them mad laughs.
Oh my god, you peed in my yard!
That's a, ho ho!
You know, and I say this as an advocate of Tucker Carlson, and I believe, if I was voting in that, of course Tucker Carlson should interview Putin.
Of course we should all hear what Putin's saying.
If Putin publicly says, these are the conditions under which we would be willing to accept a diplomatic agreement, then we We triangulate that with our assessment of current Ukrainian democracy and the well-being of Ukrainian people, and the number of Ukrainian lives lost and Russian lives lost, and American taxpayer dollars spent, and what we know now about the expenditure in the Afghanistan conflict, two trillion dollars, what the hell did that achieve?
Our other adventures in the Middle East, the escalating conflicts elsewhere in the Middle East, The Houthis?
Shouldn't we be saving some money to kill Houthis wherever I see a Houthi?
I say youthy are in trouble, Houthi.
Can't we, you know, if you assume that we are unable to assess information, then you are at odds with everything we believe in.
In fact, that's the video we made for our Awakened Wonder community is on that subject precisely.
We take some of the work of Terence McKenna and talk about individual sovereignty.
I'm being asked in the chat by 136H90M, Russell, will you interview President Xi?
Yes, I will.
I'm on my way to China.
I've already been accused of being a Chinese asset.
I'm getting over there now.
Logically AI, they say I'm a Chinese asset.
I'm getting the hell over China right now.
You see some politeness there, I tell you.
Like I'm laughing about Tucker's manners in Russia.
You mean China.
Hello, Mr. Xi.
I've always thought you're doing a good job, sir.
I liked the Olympics.
I like Chinese food.
I'm panicking!
I can't think of anything to say.
Let's see how the legacy media reacted.
And if you're watching us over on YouTube, you've got to join us.
You think we're interested in hate speech?
You think that's what inspires us?
You think me, as a father of three children, I get up every day and say, how can I spread hate?
I want to spread love, so that we have a chance of saving the lives of future generations that this globalist establishment cartel is hell-bent on destroying.
You've seen their games.
Okay, let's have a look at how the mainstream media reacted to Tucker.
Tucker Carlson in Moscow for Putin.
That's the pro-Kremlin crowd, I hope so.
Are you pro-Kremlin?
Are you pro-Putin?
I ain't pro.
Yeah, Queen Manor, someone on GGFD, one of our community members says, Queen Manor, yeah, I did meet Her Majesty the Queen once.
I was like, hello, Majesty.
Hello, yes, no, Your Majesty, please, thank you.
Let's have a look what Mother Jones say about Tucker going to Russia.
Leaked Kremlin memo to Russian media.
It is essential to feature Tucker Carlson.
Do you remember as well?
Isn't part of like the Tucker's deal with Fox like and getting booted out Fox like and remember people were hacking his phone weren't they saying oh he's in he's in touch with the Russians.
Superday 101.
Keep going, Russell.
I'll keep going.
You keep going.
We'll all keep going together.
Pro stay free only, says chaotic02244.
We're about to hit 20,000 in the Rumble stream.
Guys on YouTube, we need you to join us.
Before that, I'm going to show you a brilliant reaction from RFK on X. The legacy media is in shambles because we've caught on to their lies and propaganda.
Tucker Carlson has every right to interview Putin.
We need more transparency instead of less.
It used to be understood journalists would interview world leaders, even those with whom we were at war.
Look at how the legacy media behave now.
The legacy media want to shut down dissent.
The legacy media are an arm of the establishment now.
They will actively find people, I know this from personal experience, that are opposing government narrative and they will do anything they can.
They will amplify untruths, they will lie, they will do whatever it takes to destroy.
Let's have a look at what Glenn Greenwald saying that a journalist or any American becomes a traitor by visiting a foreign country we're not at war with and interviewing its leader is in equal parts demented, stupid and authoritarian.
But this McCarthyite jingoism is also fully normalised in liberal discourse.
That's liberalism!
Those are the countries that will say, you know, well Russia, you know, like remember when Sting released that song, do the Russians love their children too?
Now the answer will be, no, they don't love their children at all.
Poor old... Once you start arguing with Sting, you've got a problem.
He's one of our great pop stars.
OK, listen, if you're watching us on YouTube, we've got some fantastic stuff.
We're talking about the Apple Goggles.
I'm not even going to call them their proper name out of, I don't know, childishness?
Call it what you will.
That's the future now.
Will the world be augmented?
Well done in apple goggles.
We're talking a little bit about Rogan's new deal and what that means for Legacy Media.
We're talking about Nikki Haley on SNL.
Is she an establishment stooge or what?

We're spirited.
We believe in change.

Listen to this.
This is the Apple Vision Pro headset.
Went on sale in the US this weekend.
It's free and half grand.
That three and a half grand, £3,500.
You should go to Russia, Russell.
Yeah, I will.
I'd like to.
I'm a bit scared, a bit scared of Putin.
I reckon it's when the people... If I can't make someone laugh, I get edgy.
And I think getting a laugh out of Putin, that would be a good laugh.
If he went, oh, oh, yes, good, good, good.
Hey, Putin, I hear you've got... The media says you've got bum cancer.
I don't think this is good funny.
Yeah, I would be well into that.
Russian brand, what do you mean?
What my personality would be like over there.
Oh, Russian brand.
Is that a pun, Cal?
Russian brand, that's what the headline would be.
Our producer, Gareth Roy, said that the headline would be Russian brand.
Russ in Russia says long time listener.
If you think RFK is different, I have some land to Syria.
I love Bobby Kennedy.
I gotta tell you, I pray that he's different.
I pray, because I know Bobby now, and I love him!
Russell, can you list all your smoothie ingredients?
All right.
Kale, spinach, lemon, ginger, apple, and I try to go heavy on the spinach and kale.
Is that what you guys meant?
Welcome!
If you're over here for the first time from YouTube, thank you so much for joining us.
It's good to be in a space that's not, I would say, regulated by the WHO.
Let's have a look at this.
Would you pay that, yes or no?
Y or N?
Would you pay Three and a half grand for a Vision Pro headset.
Let's have a look at it.
Alright, this is officially a dream come true, right?
We got the NBA dashboard over here.
I mean, it's good, isn't it?
It's good.
You'll be sucked in.
Wouldn't you get sort of sucked in to that?
it smaller but then I'd also make it huge like look how big I can make this thing.
I mean it's good isn't it? It's good. You'll be sucked in.
Wouldn't you get sort of sucked in to that? I mean but here's the issue. I would say
that they will normalize this technology and could it become in the project of transhumanism
a problem if we all start to accept the idea of augmented reality?
To a degree, we live in an augmented reality already, don't we?
The information we're granted access to is heavily censored and heavily curated.
That's one of the things we talk about continually.
A lot of you are saying no, but what if you got it for nothing?
I must say, I'm such a, like, I can't believe, I'd go, oh my Oh my god, there's tellies all over my house!
There's a telly over there with X on it!
There's a telly over there and this is the rumble telly!
Oh my god, I could put me on different telly!
You know, it's bloody ridiculous.
I don't think that...
I personally don't believe that technology is going to deliver the solution, not technology as a subset of this kind of globalist state capitalism.
The same as with science, you know?
Like, science is obviously miraculous and incredible and can deliver and has delivered so many solutions, but when it's a subset of state globalist capitalism, all of its ingenuity and endeavours are marshalled towards control.
And God, man, Apple have got enough power, don't you think, at the moment?
They've got enough power as it is.
They can already... Like, when on your news feed, you know, do you get that when it's like Apple curated news that you didn't ask for?
It goes, Ukraine have got a new 100-mile bomb made by Boeing.
And that's a headline.
I didn't ask for that information.
Why are you giving me this information?
Why are you trying to curate and control my reality?
But isn't it possible for us to sort of enjoy the ingenuity of these products?
If I was earning five grand a week, I would take it.
Would you take it for free?
Stop asking about Corn Pop!
You've asked about Corn Pop.
Corn Pop was a bad dude.
That's all you need to know.
That's all you need to know about Corn Pop.
I will tell you that.
Let's look at the rest of this.
But I don't want to show this and for you lot to think it's propaganda, because I'm not endorsing it at all.
I think probably it's a step in the wrong direction, even though it would be sort of amazing.
And it feels real.
Like, it feels like it's in my space.
Like, look, half my dog is not even showing up.
What's up, Archie?
I'm walking through here.
I'm going over here to grab this, right?
Like, it just feels real.
I got Twitter over there in the corner.
I'm not showing any more of it.
It's too seductive.
It's too powerful.
Those of you talking about Bobby Kennedy there, like, I guess, look, you probably, if you are, if you have concerns about ongoing events in the Middle East, Then watch our conversation with Max Blumenthal because he's going to give you information that's going to blow your mind.
But we do have to find ways of creating alliances if you want to make a difference in this system.
I don't know what you guys, I don't know what you lot think is the route out for us, man.
I don't know what you think the route is.
Let's have a look at the legacy media selling Apple products.
Let's have a look.
That is our next guest having some fun testing Apple's new Vision Pro headset.
Apple's first mixed reality headset blends digital content into the literal space around us.
And today, you can get it yourself for $3,500.
Oh, thank you so much for allowing me to get that myself for just a small, small thing.
It's a bit cumbersome, isn't it?
Might as well be a swim mask.
That is our next guest having some fun... Sorry, I've already played that.
Let's have a look at some... Is this people using it?
In my mind, he's just going to start masturbating.
He's probably like, OK, just doing my computer.
This is good.
And finally, now I express myself in the way that Mother Nature intended, in public, on a trade, wearing my lavender goggles.
Yeah, that can't be the future, can it?
Can it?
Yeah, nice.
OK, hey, listen, you lot, we've got some fantastic content coming up for you.
We're going to be looking at that social media inquiry where they got all of their CEOs of various social media companies lined up and they pretend... No, stay there, guys.
Stay there.
That's good.
I'm going to do that now.
I may pretend that this is about child safety when in fact we know it is about censorship and it's about control.
We'll be going to that in a second.
Now it's time for a word from our partners.
Behold the elixir.
I'm calling this love mace.
Ah it's mace in the face but it's love mace because this is from our sponsors Charlize.
Charlize is like a cosmetics brand that doesn't include any toxins at all in their brand.
If you're looking for a gift for someone, this is a fantastic gift.
This ain't the only product, this is the toner.
A toner that lifts your serotonin levels and is based on apple stem cells.
You've noticed how the humble apple remains pure and glorious on the counter?
While the saucy banana browns itself off, where the filthy peach wrinkles like a pelosi neck.
No, I don't mean to criticise people for their physical appearances.
It's wrong and I don't agree with it.
This guy, by Charlize, the toner, it lifts your mood, it tightens your face, it makes you feel fantastic.
Me and my wife are using these products.
Bona Juice, central screw.
I don't.
I've not sprayed it there.
I daren't.
But it's 100% toxic free.
The whole Charlize skincare line is.
She, by the way, this woman, she powerful.
She's already stood up against the Biden administration.
She's been in trouble for spreading disinformation.
She one of us.
I will look at Daniel in the Bible.
I will read the book of Daniel and read a lot about IT.
Good suggestion.
Thanks for that, guys.
So listen, you lot, if you want some beauty products for yourself or a loved one, because I'm a man.
I can use these beauty products.
Use our code.
This is a good way to fight aging without toxicity.
You could drink this.
I don't recommend it.

Support them if it's within your interest and means because you'll be supporting us by doing it.
Thank you.
Now, what do you think about Rogan extending his deal?
250 million dollars, although often these things aren't entirely true.
There's gonna be more of it up on YouTube.
What does this mean for journalism?
What do you guys think about that?
Because what about what Rogan said just recently about liberals?
Like he's out.
Didn't he say, I'm never voting for Democrats again?
See if you can find that.
We'll talk about that in a minute after our presentation because I want to show you this social media thing.
Recently the heads of all the various social media platforms, the dude from TikTok, Zuckerberg of course, the woman that runs X for Elon, they were all lined up while various senators were sort of like Really tried to go for them.
And what I feel like is, like anyone, you would think that child safety is paramount.
The protection of children, that's our job, that's our function as a species, to protect the children, to protect the vulnerable, to build a better future.
Just, I can't help but notice, whether it's child poverty, or certain medications that were pretty heartily recommended in recent years, that may have caused an 8% rise in the UK in child deaths.
May of course, may of course, I'm not saying that for an absolute fact.
There's some information that suggests that.
Certainly there's been an 8% rise in child deaths in the UK.
That's a fact.
I don't know what's caused it, but it's happened in the last couple of years.
Are the government and the state interested in child safety or are they interested in control?
Yeah, so one, if you think child safety.
Two, if you think control.
While you settle down and enjoy this episode of Here's the News.
No, Here's the Effing News.
We'll be back with Jake Sullivan and some of his propaganda.
We'll be talking a lot about Nikki Haley on SNL.
We've got some great stuff.
Want one or two?
Let us know.
See you in a few seconds, guys.
Is it rolling?
Thank you for choosing Fox News.
Thank you so much.
No.
Here's the fucking news.
Senators are grilling the CEOs of social media companies in order to implement, they say,
new child safety laws to protect children.
All of us want to protect children, but is that the aim of the government?
Or is this about control of social media?
Cast your mind back now!
These ongoing inquiries into online safety of course are about an important subject.
No one would question the integrity of the notion that children should be protected from online bullying, from pornography, from Potential forms of exploitation from being able to access information on how you might harm yourself in a variety of ways Even with the most ultimate and irreversible of acts now speaking to someone who is as an adolescent experience Well, yes, I'm bullying but also I had a lot of mental health issues and addiction issues and did engage in self-harm I recognize that these are important issues and yet more significantly, of course, I'm a parent and
Right now I have three children whose safety is obviously the most important thing in my life.
So no one's questioning the importance of child safety.
What we are questioning is what these hearings are really about.
Because the very same social media companies that are now being harangued and barracked by senators and it's extraordinary to watch because it's so theatrical.
You can tell it's propaganda even as you're watching it.
There are literally staged moments that couldn't have happened without pre-discussion and without conversation and organisation.
It's brilliant.
You're really going to enjoy this.
What we're actually questioning is what are these hearings really about?
It's a bit like the pandemic.
We all agree that human life is sacred, that we should all protect one another.
Love one another.
That we're all invested in one another and your safety and my safety and our collective safety are important and when we forget that we go crazy.
That's something we need to be reminded of.
Like the pandemic period was exploited to introduce measures that were potentially advantageous either in terms of profit or the ability to regulate and legislate but Perhaps this conversation around child safety is similarly open to exploitation in so much as it would grant governments the ability to censor and regulate social media companies that would inevitably go beyond getting rid of things that might be harmful for children.
Let's have a look.
For a start, there's this tweet by Glenn Greenwald.
Tom Cotton, one of the senators conducting the inquiry, is a complete imbecile.
As this clip vividly demonstrates, and both parties' fearmongering over TikTok is grounded in dumb innuendo, there's far more evidence they're censoring for the US government than China.
This is all about more government control over social media.
Now, Glenn Greenwald is obviously An expert in this subject has worked long, hard and successfully on the degree to which governments control, censor, surveil their populations, working in ingenious ways to ensure that nothing we ever say cannot be tracked if necessary.
So let's have a look at this inquiry and note how the CEO of TikTok is vilified and barracked by this extraordinary senator and think about how theatrical it is and note how language that's literally redolent of McCarthyism is used.
Are you a member of the Communist Party?
Are you a member of the Communist Party?
How do I know Singapore is even a real place?
If he openly declares himself to be a communist...
I think the man that sits behind Mr Cotton is Tom Cotton's inner life.
was over Tunis. I can't remember the name. No, no, it was the Biden administration that
reversed those sanctions just like, by the way, they reversed the terrorist designation
on the Houthis in Yemen. How's that working out for them?
I think the man that sits behind Mr Cotton is Tom Cotton's inner life. That's actually
what happens in Tom Cotton's mind to some sort of kind of, oh, just sort of staring.
His expression doesn't change during this entire inquiry.
He's either bored by it or understands it on a level so deep that it doesn't register.
But it was sanctioned as a Chinese communist military company.
He's got a bit of a nerve saying that because social media companies in the United States have explicit ties to both the military and have often engaged with deep state organizations like the CIA and FBI.
We know that because of the Twitter files And it's pretty clear that ultimately what the government
want is control over social media sites.
To sort of claim that there's a connection between the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese military and TikTok
when TikTok is a company founded in China is actually superfluous.
Of course there is. It's from China.
It's very difficult to create a company in America that's both successful and doesn't have ties to the state.
And what we're watching now is the dramatization of the government looking to get control over social media companies that have become too big and powerful.
Sometimes that might be beneficial to ordinary people.
Sometimes that might be deleterious to ordinary people.
What the government want is to be able to use that power for their own ends.
What would make people join them in that crusade?
Well, if it was, I don't know, threatening to my children, We'll use that then.
You said today, as you often say, that you live in Singapore.
Of what nation are you a citizen?
Singapore.
You keep saying Singapore.
Now, why do you love it so much?
Do you want to marry it?
Are you a citizen of any other nation?
No, Senator.
Have you ever applied for Chinese citizenship?
You can see that Xu Chu is considerably more intelligent than Mr. Con.
They're sort of talking to him how you might talk to somebody on the other side of a bus window bound for a lunatic asylum.
Okay.
Okay.
If you truly believe that you're Napoleon, I'm sure you are.
Senator, I served my nation in Singapore.
No, I did not.
Do you have a Singaporean passport?
Yes, and I served my military for two and a half years.
Yes, that's what we do in Singapore.
Uh-huh.
I don't suppose you go to sleep in a Singaporean house at night, do you?
You goddamn commie!
Do you have any other passports from any other nation?
No, Senator.
Your wife is an American citizen, your children are American citizens.
That's correct.
Have you ever applied for American citizenship?
No, not yet.
Okay.
Okay, this isn't going how I planned it.
Now, time to bring out the big guns.
Have you ever been a member of the Chinese Communist Party?
That's a really weird thing to say, isn't it?
If a person supports organisations labelled communist by the Department of Justice, she may be a communist.
Also, would the Chinese Communist Party even let you in if you were from Singapore?
They'd probably be quite restrictive of that.
Senator, I'm Singaporean.
No.
Have you ever been associated or affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party?
No, Senator.
Again, I'm Singaporean.
You sometimes dress up like you are, remember?
Like Justin Trudeau, how he pretends to be from another country sometimes, dressing himself up.
You love communists, don't you?
Let me ask you some hopefully simple questions.
You said earlier, in response to your question, that what happened at Tiananmen Square in June of 1989 was a massive protest.
Anything else happen in Tiananmen Square?
This is a weird bit because like all of us know about Tiananmen Square.
The fella with the carrier bags, the tank, all of that.
He seems to be trying to blame old Shu Chu for Tiananmen Square.
He's already said he's from Singapore.
Probably weren't even born when that happened.
Look how young he is.
It's kind of weird and as Glenn Greenwald said in his tweet, full of innuendo, we all know that that was a terrible massacre.
I don't think anyone's saying, do you know who I like?
China.
And in particular, I like their massacres.
I'm not suggesting that TikTok don't surveil, don't spy, isn't a manipulative space.
I'm sure it's all of those things.
What I'm saying is this inquiry is not about that.
It's certainly not about protecting your children.
They don't care about protecting your children.
They still haven't done a proper inquiry into what the hell went on on Epstein Island.
If you care about children, let's look into that.
Let's look at children's health.
Let's look at diets and pharmaceutical measures that were taken in the last few years that may or may not have been beneficial to children.
Children's safety is the issue.
Don't just focus on an aspect of children's safety that can be utilised to advance a particular agenda.
It should be, we care about children's safety in all areas of life.
That's why Kraft Foods and McDonald's are in a hell of a lot of trouble.
We're shutting that shit.
They're not going to do that, are they?
Why?
Because it's profitable and it can't be utilised in order to advance a censorship and surveillance agenda.
Yes, I think it's well documented.
There was a massacre.
There was an indiscriminate slaughter of hundreds or thousands of Chinese citizens.
No, it was more than a massacre.
Don't just say it was a massacre.
You enjoyed it.
Were you there that day?
Were you either him or the guy in the tank?
Even more likely.
He doesn't think he understands what Singapore is, what China is, what history is.
He's so confused.
I actually think the bald geezer at the back is controlling him.
I can't become a senator.
Not with this crazy face.
But this pretty boy, you can do it, Cotton!
Do you agree with the Trump administration and the Biden administration that the Chinese government is committing genocide against the Uyghur people?
Not also this bit, like, he's pretending to care about the Uyghur people.
Like, you can tell that geezer's like, what's happening to the Uyghur people?
Can we do something about the Uyghurs?
I think it's outrageous that they can't practice their religious beliefs in China.
Let's do something about the Uyghurs.
Now, what's happening to the Uyghur people in China is outrageous.
It's disgusting.
It might even be a genocide.
But what it isn't is of any concern to Mr. Cotton.
And he don't care about it in the context of this inquiry.
He's just pulling out all of the bad things that have ever happened.
Have you seen the movie Ice Age?
That squirrel, he had months to live before he froze to death.
Goddamn dinosaurs, they all dropped dead because of the asteroid.
I'm from Singapore, mate.
I don't know anything about this.
Senator, I've said this before.
I think it's really important that anyone who cares about this topic or any topic can freely express themselves on TikTok.
Very simple.
Key point there.
Anyone who cares about these topics can freely express themselves on TikTok.
Now, he's taken us to the heart of the matter because what this inquiry is about is we should be able to censor the information that's on TikTok.
He's saying, get on TikTok and talk about Uyghurs and sort that out.
Now, in China, I imagine that information is heavily censored because for the internal politics of China, that's an important subject.
Over here, you know, the Uyghurs, people aren't doing a great deal about it, are they?
Let's face it.
What they, I believe, want to control, and I believe what this Congressional or Senate inquiry is interested in establishing, is the ability to censor information that could cause disobedience, uprising, counter disinformation, organisation, lack of trust in political institutions, lack of trust in the media, the breakdown of the pandemic narrative This is what we're witnessing now, along with the ubiquitous now, censorship laws that have been passed in Canada, UK, EU, US.
People have realised, the powerful have realised, oh no, this online technology means that people can instantaneously communicate, news organisations can formulate around counter-narratives, communities can organise around different ideas.
We have to shut that down.
Of course misinformation's a thing, but I'll tell you what is actual, definite, real-time misinformation, is Tom Cotton pretending to care about Uyghurs and Tiananmen I know that because I've seen how the government in my country give money to organisations like Logically AI and a bunch of other organisations to censor stories.
Well, let me tell you what the topics are.
Pandemic and Big Pharma.
Moderna have been involved in that.
War and the origins of the Ukraine-Russia conflict.
True information gets censored around that.
January 6th, an uprising and insurrection.
Tracker's movement.
Oh, it's interesting.
They're all counter-narratives where there's definitely been an attempt to control information
and prevent true but unhelpful information getting out.
And that's what this inquiry is about.
It's a very simple question that unites both parties in our country and governments around the world.
Is the Chinese government committing genocide against the Uyghur people?
I may have a lot of beefs with Joe Biden and Donald Trump, but when the three of us get together and the subject of
the Uyghur people comes up, as it inevitably does because we all care so much about the
Uyghur people, that's why you'll never find exploitative practices within
companies like Apple or Facebook or Meta or any of our energy companies or Halliburton or any of
those guys.
Because if it could happen to a Uyghur, it could happen to any of us.
Oh God, I promised myself I wouldn't cry.
They're not all united.
That's not what brings people together like a can of Coca-Cola.
Uyghurs, is it?
You never hear Uyghurs talked about.
Except in that brief moment where mentioning a Uyghur would legitimise censorship.
Could we say anything?
I don't know, Uyghurs?
What are Uyghurs again?
Just Muslim people in China that are being put in concentration camps.
Oh, how's that relevant to me?
You could say you cared about them in order to censor TikTok.
I do care about Uyghurs!
He's gonna regret pretending to care about them Uyghurs because I think the Uyghurs actually have been employed almost at near slave labor levels to do work for Apple.
And indeed, Apple have enormous contracts in China and the American government have to have a good relationship with Apple.
And when bloody their leader of China comes to America, Tim Cook, he's right in there from Apple.
He's right over the meat in them.
So if you actually cared about the Uyghurs, you would just be bothering this poor geezer from Singapore.
I reckon as he's the CEO of TikTok, he's not nobody.
But what I'm saying is, is Tom Cotton and all of this entire inquiry, if what they really cared about was Uyghurs, they've got a real direct route to the Chinese president, the head of Apple.
They've got so many ways of doing it.
It's not like this bloke's got his pent-up rage about Uyghurs.
He's never had a chance to mention it ever before up till now.
Finally, you're from China.
No, I've told you Singapore.
That's near enough.
Do something about those goddamn Uyghurs!
I thought we were here to talk about TikTok censorship.
I don't get to that when we're finished talking about those Uyghurs!
Senator, anyone, including, you know, you can come and talk about this topic.
You are a worldly, cosmopolitan, well-educated man.
Look at you.
Are you gay?
I've told you I've got a wife and children.
And anyway, what's that got to do?
I say, are you gay?
Express many opinions on many topics.
Is the Chinese government committing genocide against the Uyghur people?
Actually, Senator, I talk amazingly about my company.
I'm sort of got busy at TikTok.
I mean, I think so.
I'm not sure it's complicated.
You've put me in a corner.
But actually, if you really care about the Uyghurs, do something about the Uyghurs with the president of China and the president of Apple.
And I'm here to talk about what TikTok does.
Yes or no.
We allow... You're here to give testimony that's truthful and honest and complete.
It's theatre, isn't it?
It's like Tom Cotton has seen other inquiries and he's doing an impersonation of what he's seen in other inquiries.
Significantly, the McCarthy trials, where he's saying things like, are you a member of the Communist Party?
Was one of the repeated refrains.
And McCarthyism is something you should be aware of because McCarthyism was Using the threat of communism to impose control over the entertainment industry, which I understand exists to this day, to generate fear so that people won't speak up and generate solidarity with one another, to look for ways to persecute and crush dissent, to generate control when there was a perceived external threat.
The threat now is a domestic threat.
We all know that.
The threat now is you can't keep a population under the level of control you once could by saying China are terrifying!
Russia are terrifying!
You can't do that anymore.
People now have the ability to get a different type of perspective on reality by using different news sources, aggregating them.
We all live in a different world now, and that world is hard to control.
And what's being created now is the mechanic to control it.
Let me ask you this.
Joe Biden last year said that Xi Jinping was a dictator.
Do you agree with Joe Biden?
Is Xi Jinping a dictator?

We also need, of course, our loving sponsors and partners like Field of Greens.
Now, resolving to eat healthier this year was easy.
Actually doing it?
That ain't so easy!
Better nutrition is a key to health and longevity.
We want to stick around here for the revolution, don't we?
And a healthy diet could even help you avoid health risks that run in your family.
How is your family?
Field of Greens is my healthy super fruit and vegetable habit.
It's one of the best habits I've ever had.
It's the only fruit and vegetable product that literally promises better health.
At your next checkup, your doctor will notice your improved health.
If you can get an appointment, Or you will get your money back.
Do your vitamins or green drinks promise better health?
They're unable to.
Each superfruit and vegetable in Field of Greens was doctor-selected by an actual doctor for a specific health benefit.
Not at random.
Some support the heart.
Some support the lungs.
Some support the kidneys.
Others support metabolism for healthy energy and weight loss.

Let's get back into our content because this world needs us.
It ain't going to save itself.
Senator, I'm not going to comment on any world leaders.
What?
Now, Mark Zuckerberg is a divisive figure in these spaces.
In fact, you know, he's a billionaire CEO of Meta.
So we all assume that his affiliations will be with the state.
Certainly, we know that he censored true information on behalf of the state during the pandemic.
Kind of establishment on that, you know, asked for a bunch of things to be censored that in retrospect ended up being more debatable or true.
Indeed, Jimmy Dore tweeted, On March 15th, 2020, Mark Zuckerberg privately contacted
Anthony Fauci saying, I also wanted to share a few ideas of ways we could help
you get your message out.
Zuckerberg then censored scientists, professors, doctors, nurses,
and citizens from criticizing Fauci's recommendations regarding lockdown,
school closures, and COVID mandates, and silenced all criticisms of experimental mRNA vaccines.
Facebook classified mRNA vaccine injuries as malinformation, meaning information that is likely true,
but still should be censored to prevent doubts about the experimental rMNA vaccines.
Numerous Facebook mRNA vaccine injury support groups with hundreds of thousands of members were banned.
So, Facebook, when they were compliant with the government agenda, were favoured.
Now, it seems the government have a slightly different agenda, plainly, to introduce more regulatory measures and to control Facebook.
Nominally, and explicitly in order to protect children. But pause for
a moment. Do they really care about your children? I'm not saying that they don't care
about your children, I sort of am I suppose, but I'm saying that there are lots of areas of
public and political and financial life where the care of your children is relegated. How are your
children's nutritional standards being taken care of? What about American infrastructure,
healthcare, information? How are children generally being protected? Were there any medical measures
in the last few years that potentially were not as beneficial as was claimed, whether that's
taking children out of school, making children wear masks, potentially recommending certain
medications that might not have been beneficial for children. So once again let's have a look at
how Mark Zuckerberg is handled in this Senate inquiry and in particular notice that what
takes place is plainly a staged event.
Their control of social media is about controlling your perception of reality,
not protecting your children. A stunning moment.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg faced a withering grilling over allegations his company is failing to protect children on social media.
There's families of victims here today.
And look at the politicians again, this other one.
Look at the style of it.
Look at the tone of it.
Imagine the sort of psychological and egoic state.
There's families of victims here today.
One consistent thing, and I'm beginning to think the mastermind is that bald geezer, because he's there again, and he's still not interested.
Have you apologized to the victims?
Would you like to do so now?
Well, they're here.
You're on national television.
Would you like now to apologize to the victims who have been harmed by your product?
Show them the pictures.
Zuckerberg stood and turned to address the hearing room filled with the families.
That is a sort of a prep moment.
Let me reiterate once again that children's lives being negatively affected and ended as a result of information shared online is of course terrible and awful.
What I'm questioning is, is this inquiry really about protecting children or is the protection of children merely a spearhead That will allow a lot of other regulations to be passed, a kind of Patriot Act, shall we call it, for online spaces that will lead to regulation, censorship and surveillance.
Certainly we know that typically our governments have that appetite.
Certainly we know our governments have been doing that for years.
Certainly we know that our governments are terrified of independent media and independent political movements emerging out of it and the opposition that's generated in these spaces.
And what I query is the degree to which they care about child safety, which like any parent, I believe, should be paramount for all of us.
Many held signs with photos of loved ones who they say have suffered because of social media.
Look Mark Zuckerberg now who's like a sort of a obviously billionaire and everything but he's just a nerdy guy.
Clearly a person with some pretty strong ties to government when it's convenient.
Certainly a person who during the pandemic period was willing to have a particular type of relationship with the government and I'm sure even that I pray was motivated by a desire to do good.
I'm not going to assume that everybody's evil unless there's corroborating evidence.
I really think that's an important way to go.
But what I'm saying is this situation where the East Poor, either grieving or hurt parents are holding up these pictures because they've been told to by someone.
Like, what we're going to do is we're going to have a moment where you hold up a picture, then the press, oh, this is the bit, is it, where we're going to do the photograph.
It's a staged moment so that all of us start to associate online censorship, children's safety, online censorship, children's safety.
But the genius out of the box, they're already trying to pass hate speech laws in Ireland where they're not clear about what they mean by hate.
Oh, just hate, badness, stuff we don't like.
Is that what you mean?
The UK online safety bill, which was brought about the time that I was being attacked and we now know that various agencies were involved in that attack.
We've made videos about that elsewhere, you can have a look for yourself.
So what you do know is you cannot trust the government.
What you do know is that the government wants to control online spaces.
And what you do know is if the government genuinely care about children, child safety and child health, there's a lot of ways they could do it with food, traffic safety, nutrition, poverty.
There are so many ways to look at improving child safety, but this way of protecting child safety gives them more power.
Isn't it curious that's the one they've chosen to focus on?
Wow.
That moment is something that I believe that we are going to be looking back on and talking about for quite some time.
And then using to legitimize some draconian online censorship measures which...
I suppose we'll be beneficial to the legacy media, because our main competitor is independent media.
In fact, any time that we get a chance to destroy an independent media figure, we should really get on board with that.
Whether it's Joe Rogan and the Horse Paste, or any independent media figures with dissenting views, we should find, in fact, anything we can to destroy them.
We're gonna be annihilated otherwise!
This is a convenient piece of legislation that allows the control of social media under that most laudable of reasons, the protection of children.
Who among us doesn't want to protect children?
Uh, many of Epstein's clients?
Yeah, don't worry about that, forget that story, that's not convenient right now.
So, You just have to ask yourself, is this about protecting children, or is this about them being able to maintain control over a space that is volatile and doubtless has content in it that's harmful to all human beings, but they don't care about that, they care about control.
This is the one issue we are putting party aside and saying no.
No, no, Uyghurs, Uyghurs, that's the one issue, we all agree on Uyghurs.
Oh yes, no, Uyghurs, that's important as well.
This will not happen to America's children.
All wake us!
Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri continued to blast the billionaire.
Shouldn't you be held accountable personally?
I'm actually quite into this now.
You're a billionaire.
Will you set up a victim's compensation fund with your money?

Yes or no?
Interestingly, Michael Tracy tweeted this.
Again, it's very difficult to take them seriously in all their valour and all their bombast when we know that wars are escalating across the planet that no one's voted for and we're expected to fund.
And now for a statement that's beyond irony.
strategic bombing campaign that they have not authorized.
Hashtag priorities.
Again, it's very difficult to take them seriously in all their valour and all their bombast

And now for a statement that's beyond irony.
Mr. Zuckerberg, you and the companies before us have blood on your hands.
Now, wash that blood off your hands, pick up some missiles, and drop them on Iran.
What do the Senate and Senators and the entire political system care about?
Your children, who they're hoping will go to war for them, incidentally, in Iran?
Or do they care about control over the public sphere and the information channels that exist between us right now?
I can tell you from personal experience, they care very, very deeply about being able to control the space between this and your consciousness and what you say and what I hear.
They are terrified of this type of communication.
They're terrified of communities that are starting to coalesce and become disobedient and disenchanted with a narrative.
That's why they go for something emotional that goes past the rational mind and right into fear and terror.
We've got to protect your children.
There are a lot of things that we need to protect our children from and I would include on that long list the government.
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.

Yeah, I see something poetic in the use of the phrase mixed reality as well.
UFO Unlimited Hangout.
Thanks for the mug.
Anytime, guys.
Some beautiful comments from you.
As I always say to you, you awakened wonders in the locals chat, where you can be watching the Tucker conversation right now.
I appreciate the tone in there.
It's beautiful.
You in the rumble chat.
I love you, Duck Clouds, Gracie Groovy, Gruffa, Nivanderphil.
I love all of you.
But remember, let me remind you that when you speak hatefully to one another in there, you are doing the work of the establishment.
Work Klaus Schwab to be able to glance in there and see people hating on one another and say, yes, my work is done.
They are spending all their time using language about Islam and Judaism to hate one another.
Meanwhile, we control, we dominate.
They're truly powerful and not aligned on the basis of such things, but only on dominion and occultist ideologies that we may yet not have heard of even.
So be beautiful for one another, to one another.
In there.
It's worth it, baby.
And also, if there's anyone that's bothering you, you can make the suggestion of muting them, and we'll mute them if people want you to.
We don't get involved in it.
If you go, God, can you mute this dude?
He's bugging me.
And we'll go, yeah, many of you want us to mute that person.
We'll do it for you if you want.
Tell you who we won't be muting.

Did you?
Did you?
That was a crazy conversation right there.
To give you an update on what's happening right now over in Moscow, Tucker is leaving the Kremlin.
Elvis has left the building.
Tucker's leaving the Kremlin, isn't it?
I see, so that's sort of like Russian media filming Tucker.
He's been in the Kremlin for one hour, so presumably when I've done my interview of Tucker, I'm not saying I'm as important as Putin.
Obviously I'm not a former KGB agent and Neither do I run a superpower.
Neither do I have my finger on any button except for the buttons that play in clips.
Nor do I have any doubles.
Although I have received some pretty negative propaganda over the years.
So that's pretty interesting, isn't it?
Tucker is doing that interview.
Pretty exciting.

It was pretty interesting that Nikki Haley appeared, wasn't it, on SNL.
Let's have a look at Nikki Haley on SNL.
Do you think that SNL and the establishment, generally speaking, are pushing Nikki Haley as a candidate, sort of a centralist, authoritarianist, globalist candidate for the Republican Party?
It's one of the things I asked Vivek Ramaswamy Who, you could join us for that conversation if you're a member of the Local's Awakened Wonder Community.
That will be our show on Friday.
Brilliant conversation, actually.
Let's have a look at Nikki Haley on SNL.
Alright, so last night was the hosting debut for Bear star and Emmy winner Iowa Debris on Saturday Night Live with musical guest star Jennifer Lopez.
So we'll see all their, you know, performances later this morning.
But we begin here with a surprise appearance from presidential nominee Nikki Haley.
Okay, our next question comes from someone who describes herself as a concerned South Carolina voter.
My question is, why won't you debate Nikki Haley?
Oh my God, it's her!
The woman who was in charge of security on January 6th!
It's Nancy Pelosi!
And you've spent $50 million in your own legal fees.
Do you need to borrow some money?
Oh, Nikki!
Don't do this, Nikki!
Nikki Kikitavi!
Nikki, don't lose that number.
Nikki Haley, Joel Osment.
Nikki Haley, Joel Osment, we call her.
Six cents.
Remember that one?
I see dead people.
Well, it's pretty amazing that Nikki Haley's on SNL because I guess it's, broadly speaking,
a neoliberal institute and organ, isn't it?
And when you see things framed in the context of the legacy media, you'll know how muted it is.
Look at Jake Sullivan, straight out of the WEF.
He was there very recently, wasn't he?
Here he is on a mainstream media show talking about the potential for airstrikes inside Iran.
Now you saw that over the weekend there were 37 strikes, I think, in Yemen mostly, wasn't it?
Now, the possibility of strikes within Iran ain't ruled out, which essentially means it might happen.
Have a look at this and have a look at the framing of the discourse.
Have a listen to the way that certain questions can't be asked and certainly not answered.
Ruled out strikes inside Iran.
Well, sitting here today on a national news program, I'm not going to get into what we've ruled in and ruled out from the point of view of military action.
What I will say is that the president is determined to respond forcefully to attacks on our people.
The president also is not looking for a wider war in the Middle East.
But is it off the table?
It doesn't make sense.
So not ruling out attacks, but also, let me go back a bit there, because that's weird double speak.
That's a well-in double speak.
Strikes inside Iran off the table?
Again, Kristen, sitting here on television, it would not be wise for me to talk about what we're ruling in and ruling out.
So you're not ruling it out?
I'll just say the same thing one more time, which is I'm not going to get into what's on the table and off the table when it comes to the American people.
So he said, yeah, can we just go back to the bit where he said, we are not ruling out strikes within Iran, but we're not expanding the war in the region.
It's sort of about 15 seconds back from there, because both those things literally can't be true.
So one of the things, either you bomb inside Iran and you expand the conflict in the region, or you don't bomb in Iran.
Let's have a look at that bit again.
I missed the bit that I was trying to focus on.
Let's have a look.
Also is not looking for a wider war in the Middle East.
Is it off the table?
Are strikes inside Iran off the table?
Are strikes inside Iran also attacks on our people?
What I will say is that the president is determined to respond forcefully to attacks on our people.
Determined to respond forcefully?
The president also is not looking for a wider war in the Middle East.
Is it off the table?
Are strikes inside Iran off the table?
Again, Kristen, sitting here on television, it would not be wise for me to talk about what we're ruling in.
What's the point of going to bloody television if you're not going to answer the questions, if you're going to offer all possible alternatives?
Here he is talking about how the expanding violence between Israel and Hamas and the annihilation of that region is increasing tensions and violence across the Middle East.
Is the United States already in a wider war in the Middle East, Jake?
What the United States is doing is responding to threats as we see them with significant but proportionate force.
But has the war expanded?
We are seeing threats... Significant but proportionate, that will be a brainstormed and discussed bit of language.
It's significant but it's proportionate.
War expanded in the region, Jake?
Well, first, we don't accept that what's happening in the Red Sea, for example, Kristen, is entirely tied to the war in Gaza, because the Houthis are attacking shipping that has absolutely nothing to do with Israel.
Those Houthis would have done that anyway.
Ever since I've known about the Houthis, and you know what they were like, you know, in the 80s, the bloody Houthis.
Then in the 90s, what are the Houthis doing now?
Remember when those Houthis were tunnelling under Vietnam?
And do you remember when the Houthis provoked that Cuban Missile Crisis?
And do you remember the Houthis in 9-11?
Those bloody Houthis.
They'll stop at nothing.
Some of you are responding to the news that King Charles, King of England, has been diagnosed with cancer.
Now, whatever your views are, of course, of establishment power and the monarchy, etc.
It's sad when, obviously, when anybody gets cancer.
That is sad news.
Is there any legacy media reporting on that?
Or should we just say, oh, that's a shame that anyone has cancer.
Any human being getting cancer is bad.
Really, I mean, he waited his whole life to become king.
It's just, Not working out is it?
Possibly because it's time for these systems to be radically reviewed and perhaps potentially dismantled because what does it ultimately demonstrate?
That hierarchical corrupt institutions of wealth accumulated over centuries is a Something to aspire to and it's somehow well literally sacred due to the nature of the ceremonies of Coronation that these are figures that are endowed by God.
However as a fellow human being I pray that his treatment is successful and I pray that all people negatively affected by his cancer and cancer more broadly are Receive the comfort that they need.
