Hello you Awakening Wonders there on Spotify, Apple, Stink Whistle, Gurgle Dot, or wherever you download your podcasts these days to remain at least peripherally connected to some tendril of truth in a bewildering miasma of lies and propaganda.
We appreciate you, and we love you.
You're part of our community.
So that's why we're very happy to give you an audio version of our live Rumble Show five days a week.
It's on Monday to Friday.
We decipher the latest news stories, we break down current topics that the mainstream media should be covering, and if they aren't, Then we critique why they're not and what they are covering.
Every week as well, right?
We do brilliant conversations with people like Jordan Peterson, RFK, Tucker Carlson, Sam Harris, Vandana Shiva, Gabor Mate.
These things are already up and you can listen to them now.
So remember this is an audio version of our daily live show.
To tune in live, go over of rumble.com/russellbrand. You'll find it easily and I
hope that you will love it.
Now please enjoy this episode of Stay Free with Russell Brand. Thanks.
Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brad.
We'll be talking about the latest information on the shooter, the body cam footage.
We'll be talking about Kamala Harris's campaign.
We're going to be looking at the Joker trailer.
I'm going to spend a bit of time doing something I enjoy, looking at Shane Gillis's impression of Donald Trump, as well as that SNL?
No, it's Kimmel, isn't it?
Is it Kimmel or, uh, I can't remember, but it's one of the late night things where they sort of compare Trump talking to, uh, announcing the assassination of, uh, Big Daddy to, uh, Barack Obama announcing the death of Bin Laden.
And this sort of fetishization and infatuation that the establishment have with class, like that Trump is vulgar and that Barack Obama He's kind of a classy guy, you know what I mean?
So I was like, look at him, that's what a president should be like.
Classy and kind of handsome, like cause Trump's all mad, you know?
So we're looking at that.
And indeed, the aesthetics and ethics of class are one of the things that I'm increasingly talking about.
It's something I've been thinking about all my whole life because I'm from a normal background myself.
Say, for example, if you're from that, and you maybe are, unless you're sort of an elite establishment, metropolitan, highly educated member of the sort of Ivy League establishment, or you're sort of a globalist corporatist, you'll know that there is this sort of subtle sense that you're not doing things right, and that you're not good enough, and I want to talk about that, you know?
Roselle, you hear that?
Horse 67.
I'm talking to some of my friends on the Awaken Wonder chat.
How are you all getting on?
That killed Tony.
The moment where Shane Gillis improvises about the woman backstage, and they're backstage, they're real.
That moment all the way to the Mexican fentanyl.
That is some of the best improvising I've seen for a while, and I want to talk more about stand-up comedy because I absolutely love stand-up comedy, and we're going to get into it more.
This is a post from Atheos1971.
Russell, you promised to dive into Project 25.
I've read it and I'm concerned.
Is there a reason you're avoiding it?
AwakendWonders deserve your honest analysis of this document.
Peace, brother.
Thanks, Atheos, and thanks for the $20.
Donation.
My understanding is that Project 25 is a conservative document that came out of the heritage think
tank and that it's got a lot of stuff in it you would anticipate coming out of a Christian
movement in so much as I feel like it's pretty pro-life that there's movements within it
to certainly prohibit pro-choice legislation.
Feels like it's about campaigning and ensuring that our legislation is made under the next,
the presumed Trump presidency, although can we assume?
Let me know in the chat guys on Rumble.
I haven't taken a deep dive into it but we're totally up for that and we have posted a video
Can you post it in the chat, that video?
We did one in response to Joy Reid's recent, one of Joy Reid's recent outbursts about it, so we can have a look at that.
First of all, rumble!
Two million subscribers!
Like now, I would like to imagine, you know like sometimes when you accidentally go like that on your phone and like a thumbs up goes like that or if you go like that sort of balloons come down.
I'd like you to use your imagination to imagine balloons now descending and thumbs up ascending and a variety of celebratory things.
You lot, well done.
Thanks for subscribing.
If you don't subscribe on Rumble yet, subscribe on Rumble now.
Give us a like.
Probably helps us in some ways and consider becoming an Awakened Wonder.
We post all of our content there first.
Actually after the show tonight, after we have an Awakened Wonder hang and we're going to look at some additional content over there, some clips and just muck around and, you know, just take our tops off and be fun, you know.
After that I'm talking to Adam Carolla, so he'll be the next interview that's up on Locals.
And what I like about Adam Carolla Have you seen him when he's sort of like when he's like pressuring Gavin Newsom?
Why'd you do it?
Why'd you say it for?
Ain't everybody suffering?
I want to talk to mostly Adam Carolla about the various ways he's pressurized Gavin Newsom.
That's one of the things I'll be talking about.
But Adam Carolla, prior even to Rogan, was rocking it in the podcast space.
Let's have a look at a few things together.
If you are watching us on YouTube, we'll only be here for a minute because then we'll be on the sweet stream of freedom that we call home.
I don't seem to have page one here, guys.
I don't think.
Come over to someone and have a little look just in case there's a mistake I'm making.
If you'd pop in the red one.
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
All right.
Let's have a look at this.
Thanks very much.
Turn the audio up on that a little bit guys so I can hear you if you do talk to me.
So this is the first thing we're going to be talking about you lot on YouTube is that thing I mentioned just now.
The comparison between Trump describing the assassination of Bell Beg Daddy and Obama's Bin Laden one.
But like, no, it's not that big of a... Like, are we caught in just aesthetic differences now and matters of taste?
It's something I wrote about in my essay about attending the Republican National Convention.
Like, you know, like, that there's a sense from, say, liberal folk that Hulk Hogan...
Like, well, when I saw that, when Hulk Hogan goes, the man that took a shot at my president!
Rawr!
I tore his top off.
I must say, I was like, whoa, this is crazy.
But is it really that different than Jack Black endorsing Joe Biden, then retracting that?
Is it that different than George Clooney, like, going, I like Joe Biden, I don't like Joe Biden?
What are we saying?
But some celebrities are sort of all really cool.
That's the sort of graphic I meant, by the way, those fireworks on the Awaken Wonder.
That's the sort of thing I want for the two million.
Is that what it is?
Is that what it comes down to?
Because shouldn't we really be discussing the distinction between policies when it comes to global war or the policies when it comes to massacres?
Wouldn't you love it if you felt that you were behind a political movement that said, We are going to end all wars on day one.
Some of you say Trump is saying that.
He did say that he wants to sort out stuff in the Middle East, didn't he?
He did say that.
Rich snobs hate Trump, says 2nd Trump.
Yeah, I feel ya on Rumble.
And yeah, Bobby Kennedy, well I love Bobby as you know.
But sometimes, you know, like me, I would just love one candidate, and I don't even know if I have the courage to do it, you know, I don't have the courage to do it.
Like, it's all about, listen, peace, peace, peace!
We're not going to take money from the military-industrial complex.
We're not going to take money from Big Pharma.
We're going to demonopolise and break down Big Tech, Big Pharma.
We're going to, day one, we're going to start attacking these corporate globalist forces.
Wouldn't that excite you somehow?
Would that excite you?
Would you like that?
Would that be...
More... What do you think is the biggest issue?
Press 1 if you think it's migration, press 2 if you think it's the power of global corporatism.
I just would love to see.
1 for immigration, 2 for global corporatism.
Let me know in the Awaken Wonder chat, let me know in the Rubble chat.
Let's have a look at this viral clip of Trump versus Obama announcing assassinations of enemies of America.
You know, it's a terrorist or whatever.
The United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden.
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead.
I think Trump's is better.
It's so funny, isn't it?
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead.
It's like he's... Yeah, two.
A lot of two.
It's an interesting balance.
It's, um... He's not... It's not like he's not taking it seriously.
He is taking it seriously, but... Like, Shane Gillis is probably done the defining stand-up on this as well when it says it's
like he was excited that he was in the Situation Room, the beautiful
dogs, that beautiful dogs bit of stand-up is so dope. I feel like what it is is
that the left have an infatuation with aesthetics and style because increasingly
politics is voided of true values.
Say, like, Barack Obama's done all those deals with Netflix, gets paid a lot of money for after-dinner speeches and all of that stuff, and it's like, oh, these are all premium blue-chip brands, it's good to do stuff with Netflix, and Trump is like, those magic sneakers, they're all gold and everything, or the Bibles that he does, or whatever.
But, you know, if you spend any time watching Trump, I remember a mate of mine said this years ago about Margaret Thatcher, he goes, don't watch too much Margaret Thatcher because you'll start liking her.
And if you're from the era that I'm from and the place that I'm from, you don't like Margaret Thatcher because she closed down all the industry and she messed with working class people, destroyed people in Nottingham and the North and all over the British Isles, right, through her policies.
If you watch her, she's like, It's just alluring to watch him.
Absolutely not!
Like, you know, when people have got political charisma and clout, it's seductive.
And if you watch too much Trump, like, you know, I'm saying this about Trump detractors.
I know you guys mostly love him.
But, like, you start to... He's too funny, man.
And even here, where you're invited to not like him...
I like him.
The United States launched a targeted operation against that compound.
They did a lot of shooting, and they did a lot of blasting.
Even not going through the front door, you know, you'd think you could... Blasting!
And like, this is it, yeah, because he's riffing, isn't he?
That's what Gillis points out as well in his bit on it.
Like, you'd think they'd go through the front door, not these guys.
...through the door.
If you're a normal person, you say, knock knock, may I come in?
After a firefight, they killed Osama Bin Laden and took custody of his body.
It's like the aesthetics of power.
It's the aesthetics of power.
Even people that feel that they're like post-structuralist sort of cultural critics think, you know, we really have understood the culture and the dynamics of power.
But really, people can't handle having a president that sort of talks like that.
After a firefight, Bin Laden was killed.
It's all so serious and sensible.
You can't have Trump talking about beautiful dogs and stuff.
He died like a dog.
His death does not mark the end of our effort.
A beautiful dog.
We give thanks for the men who carried out this operation.
And I don't get any credit for this, but that's okay.
I never do.
And here we are.
May God bless you.
And may God bless the United States of America.
And I'm writing a book.
I'm going to write 12 books.
The joke is vulgarity.
That's the joke.
What we're being asked to laugh at there is Barack Obama is classy and Donald Trump is vulgar.
And I know, I know because I know them, they would be so shrill and hysterical.
No!
My opinions, they mean something.
Did Obama drone a bunch of kids?
Did Obama bail out the banks in 2008?
He did, didn't he?
Right.
So, we're not talking about Jesus, are we?
We're talking about a politician who, whilst in the early part of his career, he garnered a lot of attention, and it seemed like, oh my god, this guy might be incredible with this weird background, part in, like, living in Indonesia for a while, his dad's Kenyan, he grew up in Hawaii, he did a bunch of work for charity, done loads of Legal aid type work, you know, being a lawyer, working sort of pro rata for good causes.
This guy's going to make a difference.
He's a non-white candidate.
I was someone that was well into that stuff.
And it seemed exciting, didn't it?
At his inauguration and various ceremonies of ascension.
It's Michelle Obama, obviously, but also Oprah and various African American celebrities.
This is amazing.
When he ascended, it seemed brilliant.
And so Trump, the whole thing, like, people make a big deal, like, he's not got any good celebrities, his inauguration, they won't let him use their music, Pink Floyd have denied the right.
Well, you know, look at where we got to, man.
Like, you know, Obama begat Biden begat what?
Where are we now?
Where's your coolness now?
Where's your, where's your aesthetic, where's your cultural elitism now?
It's pretty extraordinary.
And look, ultimately, again and again, we'll be seeing this story as independent media becomes So fleet-footed and far ahead of the gatekeeper centralised legacy media pack you'll see more and more stories like this where like sort of titles like The Guardian have to go oh yeah it looks like Russia's fears about NATO expansion was something we should have paid more attention to or you'll start to see you know Zelensky acknowledging that in all likelihood the war will have to be brought to an end in the event of a Trump
Presidency, and no one wants Ukrainian people, or Russian people, or Palestinian people, or Israeli people, or Chinese, or Taiwanese people to die.
Surely, surely, surely, wherever centralized interests are threatening to the lives of individuals, we should be looking for diplomatic and peaceful solutions.
Surely this is true.
And perhaps that should be our shared and mutual focus rather than Barack Obama's a pretty classy guy.
He's got pretty classy movies and documentaries on Netflix.
Not like that vulgarian Trump bundling about on a golf buggy.
I think all of us understand that we have to finish the war as soon as possible, of course, not to lose people's lives.
One of the first times I've heard people saying, like, you know, in the, sort of, within the, what you might call NATO mainframe, that it would be a good idea to end this war so people stop dying.
It's normally peripheral, alt-right figures, and Trump himself.
They want people to stop dying.
That's Trump, right?
Um, and okay, but we're gonna be with you for about another minute.
If you're watching this on YouTube, then we're gonna be on Rumble.
We're gonna be talking about the body cam footage and the increasing amount of evidence that suggests that this was a false flag event.
I'll tell you now, if you're watching this in America, in the UK, a lot of people feel like, and my assumption is this is because of the type of media they consume, that this is a false flag event that was constructed within the Trump camp.
That this is, you know, like, I know, I mean, I wonder how you deal with the death of An innocent man.
I wonder how you deal with the sort of like that Trump was shot.
There's so many things, but what's more extraordinary is the people that just were not interested in hearing conspiracy theories, inverted commas, during the pandemic.
Conspiracy theories like It comes out of dual-purpose research.
It was a lab leak.
They repressed it in favor of natural origin.
Lockdowns don't work.
Masks don't work.
Event 210 was a rehearsal for it.
This will generate a wealth transfer.
It's a dry run for centralized authoritarian measures.
See how far you can push.
All those kind of conspiracy theories that under investigation seem pretty legit.
Those people now are like Alright, well, did you see that bit of footage in California?
All those people, they did it themselves.
Trump organized it.
Trump did it themselves.
And, uh, I don't want to... I mean, I'm not trying to blow my own trumpet, but I am gonna let you know that I've got one.
Like, right, like, in the minutes after it happened, I posted on X, you can go look back at the time, and said, Watch now how institutions, groups and individuals that would never engage in rhetoric around false flags and staged events start talking about it.
You can check it.
It's up on X, baby.
Let's have a look now.
This other sort of somewhat epochal moment, I've not watched any of this yet, Elon Musk's conversation with Jordan Peters and later on we'll look at what appears to be the central and defining aspect of that conversation.
It's of course Elon Musk saying that his own child has been taking puberty blockers and using the Extraordinary word!
The word you're looking for is delusional, Russell.
Yeah, yeah, I see you, Jack Swiss.
I see you, blessed old bird.
The extraordinary moment where he says, like, you know, my son is dead.
I mean, that's pretty extraordinary.
We'll be getting into that later.
But some of the other things he said, you know, he talks about, like, you know, he ain't a... Let's start a countdown.
We're going to leave YouTube now, by the way.
Click the link in the description, guys, if you want to come and see us on YouTube.
We're going to speak freely now.
We're on Rumble.
Which, hey, we'll talk about Rumble, man, because I saw that Whitney Webb thing.
Whitney Webb and Jimmy Dore talking about Peter Thiel.
I want to talk about that.
I want to know more about that.
I'll tell you that for sure!
But we're going to, uh, we're going to talk about the body cam footage.
We're going to have a little review of Joker, the new Joker trailer, and we're going to talk about Elon Musk and his son.
Click the link in the description.
Join the two million Over on Rumble.
We are growing, baby.
Click the link, get on over here.
Consider becoming an Awake and Wonder, by the way, and supporting our stuff on Locals.
You'll get our Adam Carolla conversation first.
Here's Musk telling Jordan Peterson why he stopped talking, uh, not stopped talking, stopped supporting the Democrats.
I think probably the Democratic Party was the party of meritocracy and of personal freedom.
They used to be the free speech party and these days they seem to be the censorship party under the guise of hate speech.
So weirdly, in my view, the Republican Party is actually the party that's the meritocracy party.
Because, you know, the Democrats are also promoting DEI, which is really just another form of racism and sexism.
It's the most pernicious form, I think, actually.
Right, so it's anti-meritocratic.
DEI is fundamentally anti-meritocratic.
It's a two-party system, essentially.
You've got to pick one or the other, and so you weigh the good and the bad, and my opinion is that... And you flip the coin?
We need... that the country would be better off with a Republican administration than a Democrat.
Yeah, well, Trump was pretty good at not having wars.
Yes.
Elon is giving 45 million dollars a month to Trump.
Yes.
Can you tell me what D-E-I means, please?
Either the gallery or the chat, let's know what D-E-I means.
I don't know what that means.
Thanks a lot.
Cheers, man.
And let's have a look at this cultural Christian conversation, can we?
Like, I think it's weird because obviously I'm a new convert to Christianity And when people talk about cultural Christianity, what are they talking about?
So what does that mean now?
Is what used to mean secularism to secularism became co-opted by a sort of woke culturalism, which is obviously the central theme that Peterson and Musk are discussing.
And I've sort of noticed that what began as political diversity, equity, and inclusion... Thanks guys.
Well done.
Nice and fast.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Yeah, yeah.
I see.
That those ideas are, that's, I would say that's the sacralising of the culture that's replacing the desacralising of things that ought be sacred like one another.
Nature, principles and ethics have been desacralised in favour of, I was talking about it earlier, Barack Obama's so classy!
Look at Donald Trump!
Pooey!
Look at his stupid hair!
And what's been sacralised are, you know, diversity, equity, inclusion, To get to that, from a Christian perspective, kindness.
Be kind!
You don't need subsets for kindness.
Who is this person in front of you?
Don't need to know.
Just be kind.
Be kind and loving.
Remember that you're going to die, they're going to die, and potentially we're all going to be in eternity together because we have been saved, and let's be loving to one another.
When you make the culture the highest set of values, you mean it affords humankind the ability to set new parameters.
They can say, these are the values this week.
That's why, as they discussed in that conversation there, there's all these party switches.
The Dems used to be the party of free speech.
They're not the party of free speech.
The Dems used to be the party of anti-war.
They're not the party of anti-war anymore, because now they worship the culture itself, and the culture itself is mutable according to whatever agenda's driving it.
Let me know what you think about that in the chat.
And where did we land up on the one-twos?
Can someone in the gallery tell me?
Was it a more or less balanced thing, you know, for the migration versus the, uh...
Migration versus global corporatism.
What did they regard to be the greater threat?
Thanks very much guys.
Let's have a look at this other moment from the Musk conversation.
This is the cultural Christian moment.
I'm actually a big believer in the principles of Christianity.
I think they're very good.
So in what sense then are you not religious?
Well, so Dawkins just came out three weeks ago or thereabouts and announced that he was a cultural Christian, right?
Right, I would say I'm probably a cultural Christian.
I was brought up as an Anglican and I was baptized.
So that's interesting, isn't it, when people talk about cultural Christianity, isn't it?
Because what do you mean by it?
You mean the material expression of those spiritual values.
The material expression of them is good, but I don't believe the values.
The first time I started to think about things like that, ...was when people started to acknowledge that meditation was good for the body, and good for blood pressure, and good for those kind of things, right?
I was like, oh wow, so the people that came up with that didn't know it.
It's weird, isn't it?
55 Rightful Fight Russell, Theo Rumble, another questionable corporate.
Certainly it's questionable.
Everything is questionable.
Everything!
Everything is questionable.
So, yeah, like, the difference between cultural Christianity and Christianity is you like the fruits of it, but you query it.
Plinkyplonk67 in the Awake and Wonder chat says, Russell, I was thinking of going to church.
Which domination?
Any recommendations?
I'm going to a bunch.
I'm trying to work it out, man.
I'm learning about all of them, so I wouldn't have a recommendation.
I'm just learning about it myself at the moment.
I've not sort of made a commitment in that way.
Jesus Christ, my man, you know, and my God.
All right, um, yeah, oh, this is interesting.
Well, this is the first fleeting glimpse at Joe Biden alive in many a long day.
Before that, here's a mad commercial partnership we've got.
Check it out.
It's like the power of Chuck Norris.
It's a power you need to embrace.
Stay with us.
Let me ask you a serious question.
Do you ever wonder what happened to martial arts legend and film star Chuck Norris?
Chuck Norris is 81 now.
He's still active.
He's strong.
He's kicking ass.
He feels like he's in his 50s.
How can this be possible?
Chuck's made a video that explains this extraordinary story, and you can watch it by visiting chuckdefense.com forward slash brand.
Click the link below to watch this video now.
It's going to change the way you think and feel, not only about Chuck Norris, which is invitation enough, But about your own health and about your own ability to age with vitality, vigor, strength and potency.
So go to ChuckDefense.com forward slash brand and watch this video now.
You're not going to believe how simple it is.
Chuck's 81 years old.
Chuck focused on three simple things.
...that sabotage the body as we age.

This is gonna blow your mind and knock your socks off.
I want my socks left on!
You're gonna lose your socks.
Let's go back to the content.
In the Rumble Chat, and you know like the Rumble Chat's a pretty interesting space, only for the adverts, it's cool, just for like, so I know when queues are working, read the monitor guys, so you can pull that monitor off for now, thanks.
Like, what's fascinating and interesting for me is, you know earlier I asked you, one, do you think immigration is the issue that's the biggest threat, or two, global corporatism?
Guess what, one, global corporatism.
So even in Rumble, which is a space where people are very concerned about immigration, it's interesting to note that even there, People are aware that corporatism is where power is.
One thing I like to bear in mind whenever sort of talking about the issue of immigration, even though I know it's a sort of an argument that's sort of been won and it's not, I'm not trying to oppose you on that argument because...
I feel like if you have a nation, you have to accept that you have a nation and you have to respect its borders and stuff.
What I feel like is worth bearing in mind is refugees and migrants do not have power.
And when you're talking about power dynamics and changing the world, if your focus is powerless people, you're looking in the wrong direction.
I don't even mean from an ethical perspective, I mean from a strategic perspective.
Who are the most powerful groups and institutions in the world?
They're the people that are in charge.
Again, like I told you before, probably.
They say that they know that dark matter and dark energy exist even though they are imperceptible because they impact and affect observable phenomena.
And if you want an allegory to understand that, excuse me, an analogy to understand that, If you are looking at a billiard table where the white ball was invisible, you could see from the disbursement of the red balls where the white ball might have been, right?
Oh, even though I can't see the white ball because it's invisible, from the fact that the red balls all went in that pattern, the white ball must have impacted there.
That's how they understand and can prove, inverted commas, the existence of dark matter, dark energy.
Well, I think that when looking at how systemic power operates that might not be evident and observable, look at the impact of it.
During the wealth transfer, during the pandemic, where did money go?
During the pandemic, what authoritarian measures were able to be enacted?
That shows you then the sort of outline, the silhouette And talking about cadavers that might be found and outlined on the floor, here he is.
The current president, who won't be president for long, is Joe Biden, who in a brief moment manages to demonstrate the whole narrative unfolds here in 18 seconds.
and have a look.
It's a bit of a shame, really, isn't it?
A bit of a shame.
And here is your other option for President of the United States on a golf buggy, seeming like...
I don't know.
Let's bear in mind this is a person who is continually adjudged to be sort of a fascist and the sort of worst person in the world.
Being, it seems here, rather sweet.
See the trees in there?
They grow naturally.
They grow naturally.
You can take them, put them out here.
You have the nicest trees in the country.
That's a maple right there.
I love it.
It's just gross.
You know why?
It's a very vibrant part of the world.
I don't care what, right?
I agree.
And I do a little cut.
But the little hook is so pretty.
You're right up here.
Oh, looky, looky.
Do you have that?
Well, oh, I have.
I have a great playlist.
Playlist?
I have a playlist.
It's too old for you.
We'll play this when we're finished breaking this record, if that ever happens.
Time to say goodbye.
I love it.
Amazing, what a sweetheart.
Hey guys, we should keep numbers on these actually, because it's easier for me.
Thank you.
What's next on that basis?
What is the next one?
The next subject?
Secret Service.
Secret Service.
Yeah, we're going to do that head of Kamala.
Let me find that.
Yeah, number them, number them.
Like the first thing on there should be a number.
Thanks guys.
All right, should we do our body cam story then?
Do you want to get into that and work that out?
So here we go.
This is, um, this is, let's start, let's start here.
Trump has been advised not to have outdoor rallies.
Now, in a sense, that's, one might say, somewhat sensible given the risk that he faces at outdoor rallies.
But some argue that it is, of course, deleterious to his campaigning.
Let's have a look at Legacy Media reporting on that.
And just breaking moments ago, Britt, I want to tell you that the Secret Service is apparently now telling or asking the Trump campaign to stop doing their rallies outdoors.
This is reporting from the Washington Post, just breaking in the last couple of minutes here.
I can tell you that I asked Don Jr.
about that at the RNC last week, if he was going to encourage his father to stop holding rallies outdoors.
He said that his father Would not like that at all.
He loves those outdoor rallies.
So we're still trying to work this out.
He loves those outdoor rallies.
Of course he does.
It's amazing.
I mean, that rally in Butler.
Have you had time to reflect on it?
What about one of my favorite moments in that speech?
Last time I saw that chart, I didn't look at it properly.
That's so mad.
That's so mad.
This has been such an extraordinary time.
I'm so overwhelmed, are you, by everything that's happening.
Firstly, there was the debate, and it's like, whoa, now everyone's acknowledging all of a sudden the senility of Joe Biden.
Then there's an assassination attempt.
Then there's a resignation.
I just can't take the giddying pace of it.
Can you?
Are you, like, sort of bewildered by this?
Do you think it can be held together?
The head of the Secret Service is resigning now.
I mean, I just don't know what we're gonna wake up to.
I don't have anything else to do with it.
I can't take it anymore.
I can't take it.
It's all gone too mental.
...story right now but that's coming from the Washington Post, the Secret Service is now encouraging the Trump campaign to stop doing those outdoor rallies.
Yeah, fascinating.
I'm scared of him.
You think my ADHD is kicking in?
Colour coding does help me.
I like the colour coding.
You're right about that.
Here's Mike Benz, guest of the show, friend of the show, regular contributor with his reaction to that.
He's saying, yeah, that in a sense those are punitive measures, but are they also sort of security measures?
Here's Mario Neufel talking about cell phone data that sort of further shows that this story just doesn't make sense, does it?
Here are the things, like where is this kid's, where is this kid's cell phone?
How did this kid get in there?
How did he get on that roof?
And the body cam footage, they had eyes on him like minutes prior to he'd fire a shot, fired a shot excuse me, and the head of the, and Kimberley yesterday, Kimberley Cheetle wouldn't reveal the number of shell casings on the roof.
It's not good.
Okay, so let's read Mario Norfald's, excuse the pronunciation, tweet.
"Mobile ad data analysis by the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project revealed that someone who regularly visited Thomas
Crooks' Pennsylvania home also visited a building in D.C. near an FBI office."
Hmm.
"The analysis identified nine devices linked to Crooks' home and work."
What?!
These findings suggest Crooks did not act alone in the assassination attempt on Trump.
Despite inquiries, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheetle referred questions about Crooks' potential accomplices to the FBI.
And so I suppose this is why the, uh...
You know, the body cam footage is so significant, but there's just got one more thing to look at here.
The footage has been released.
Let's have a look at that together and discern together What we can possibly glean from this, what do I want to call it, the tendentious nature of these revelations, meaning it appears to be leading us to the conclusion that as with all lone, deranged gunman assassinations, it's a conspiracy!
It's a conspiracy.
You still can't openly say that the murderer and assassination of JFK was not Lee, Harvey, Oswald and that if they released those files, like whether they released those files or the 9-11 files or what went down in the pandemic or this, the reason is it's not gonna be...
That sloped roof was a surprise for your birthday!
This body cam footage was meant to be a montage of joyful events leading up to today.
What?
Oh, and you thought that it was the revelation that the Deep State and sets of interests that operate behind the Sharada government were somehow involved in this assassination attempt?
And the reason for the loathing of Trump is not actually because he's a racist, but because he's a sort of berserker, bull in the china shop candidate who they would never endorse because they need people like Biden or Kamala Harris, people that will twitch whenever they tug a string.
You're just like your father.
Let's have a look at the body cam footage.
So we don't know...
So this is the guy that our... Yes, that they sent the... Yes, Beaver County sniper seen and sent the pictures out.
This is him.
Okay.
Alright.
Rifles right there, obviously.
Got it.
So, the bike in the back... Is he on that bike?
We don't know.
We don't know.
I don't know.
So he's treating that as suspicious device.
Correct.
One second.
I believe the sniper that seen these and sent the pictures is right inside this building.
Michelle, is Greg in there?
Alright, so if you go to that window that's open and yell for Greg, that's the sniper that sent the original pictures and seen him come from the bike and set the book back down and then lost sight of him.
Okay.
He's the one that sent the pictures out.
I don't know if you got the same ones I did.
I think I did, yeah.
He's got his glasses on and he's...
So we have the picture of that.
Yeah, I got that.
And then this is his bike with the stuff.
And our sniper seen him walking away from that, I believe.
Okay.
But he would be right inside that window.
He's the one that physically seen this, sent the pictures, and called it out.
Okay, so we have somebody detained, correct?
That I don't know.
Our guy that was just up here told me that there's a guy detained who's the owner of the bike.
And I said, no, no, that's the owner of the bike.
We've been up here so we wouldn't know that information.
We just hold asks we got every day.
Got it.
We help them.
Yeah.
I can help them.
No problem.
Is that all your stuff?
That was one of our containers.
Gas is off to the building, just so you know.
Thank you.
Yeah, they do.
I talked to them.
They were supposed to be able to detain the building.
Maybe they were involved.
Maybe they weren't.
Most of the people detained were filmed.
The American Water Works notified they authorized- >> Maybe they were involved, maybe they weren't.
They will start somebody.
Other than that, I haven't heard anybody.
I think it's, the guys that saw them filming were like, they were filming us and then filming the guy up on the
roof and then filming us.
And then when the shots started firing, they tried to run away.
Isn't that what everybody would do that has a phone?
You know, I'm not saying they weren't involved.
But, you know what I mean?
Like, that's... I'm just looking here right now, right?
Right!
So, I got no problem detaining them.
Again, I'm just trying to... Detain those guys, find out what they know, who they are, whatever.
I got... I'm trying to get clear information to relay back to DC.
We have one shooter deceased.
I think there's three victims in the crowd.
Did you guys hear that too?
That I'm not sure.
So I heard one deceased, two life-threatening.
I know two helicopters just took off.
Yeah, okay.
So, I don't know how many victims.
Hello?
We're here to assist.
Any, uh, L.E.?
I will try to get in touch.
In the van.
He survived?
I'm fine, I'm alright.
Copy.
I suppose that's pretty conclusive evidence that the sniper, dear Thomas Crooks, God love him, the poor lost bewildered
Rube, was under observation prior to firing shots.
And that, along with the numerous other anomalies, the ability to scope out, the ability to fly a drone, the ability to erect a ladder, the ability to not have your phone hacked, the ability to get to 20 years of age in 2024 without any social media accounts, leads us to the conclusion that what Whatever happened on July the 13th there in Butler, it is not the official version.
Believe me, there are people in metropolitan and neoliberal circles that claim that this is a false flag event set up by the Trump campaign.
Is that possible?
Would they allow an innocent man, a firefighter and a father to lose his life?
Doesn't seem right, does it?
And yet we know, when it comes to the deep state, Lone gunman assassinations are an extraordinary red flag in themselves.
It seems to me increasingly likely that over the coming days, certainly if evidence continues to be released at this rate, we will be given the data required to understand these events.
And therefore, be able to extrapolate just how little we can trust the current establishment.
And whether or not that means that you should automatically lend your trust to the new and emergent forces coming out of the new MAGA Republican Party, that's a question for you to contemplate yourselves.
But that's just what I think.
Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.

And that's the place where, in a minute, we'll be looking at the latest developments in the ascendancy of Kamala.
Kamala!
Kamala Harris!
Damn, damn, we've got to get that name right.
We'll be looking at that in a moment.

I'm so proud of this community that you know that global corporatism is the most insidious force in the world and a greater threat to your freedom and the freedom of your family than even mass migration, which I know concerns many of you most deeply.
And I want to have conversations about how you resolve that stuff.
Yeah, brick house.
Brick house!
Take advantage of that special offer.
What do you have red on your right hand?
God, actually, I don't know what that is.
I don't know what that is!
More Gnostic signalling says Shaman Bolus.
I actually don't know what that is.
What's that come off of?
I mean, is it blood?
That's worrying.
Well, let's, uh, I want to show you this.
Guess one of the things I'm doing on the Awake and Wonder community.
I was gonna go for Stigmata.
One of the things we're doing in the Awake and Wonder community, if you guys, um, Are you guys telling people about this?
Have you told them about the stand-up analysis that we're offering now?
Have you told them that we've done Chappelle over there?
Have you told them about the things that we're doing?
Think about it!
Think how hard it would be to catch a monkey!
And f**k it.
That's ridiculous.
That's how it had to go down.
Who do you think, you just gonna walk up to him in the woods and grab this s**t with fruits and bananas?
Hey, buddy.
Hey.
Now there's another escalation when he characterizes the person that would f*** a monkey.
Now he's made us speculate it, he's brought us along nicely for the ride, and genius that he is.
The f***ing microphone's the banana.
What a f***ing genius.
And, uh, yeah, the voice.
Hey buddy!
That's the person that's...
That's the person that's going to f*** a monkey!
Hey buddy, come here!
And he's got to do it sort of seductively, like it's not being done martially or violently.
he's doing it through charm.
I love it.
I love it.
It's pretty good.
I still don't know what that is in my head, I've got to tell you.
Okay!
Now then!
It's time for us to all get behind the establishment's latest venture.
The latest venture of the establishment is Kamala Harris.
Why?
You can see how enthusiastic Chuck Schumer is.
So now that the process has played out, from the grassroots bottom up, we are here today to throw our support behind Vice President Kamala Harris.
I'm clapping.
You don't have to.
Oh, that's not good.
It's not going to go well.
Is this going to work?
Is this new download going to be accepted by the system?
It's a bit buggy, isn't it?
Let's have a look at this moment of Kamala Harris rally.
People have talked about the sort of demographic breakdown of the audience, suggesting that it's not.
Diverse enough.
I don't know, I guess... My first guess was that perhaps many people who are not white,
like during the pandemic period, if you are going to make generalizations, and certainly people do
make generalizations, have an inherent distrust of the system, perhaps due to obvious historic reasons.
[Crowd cheering]
Morning Joe, I've got a lot to say about the hate campaign, and the hate campaign includes mispronunciation.
In fact, I would say I think it is admirable when anyone overcomes anything that could be regarded as a disadvantage, whether that's gender or sex or ethnicity or anything.
Number of achievements that a person might make that are laudable, that they might triumph in environments that are perhaps not set up for their success.
But it does seem to me to be secondary to many of the issues that we are currently confronted with like War and centralization of power and the decay of national institutions in your country and this relentless, irresistible march of globalism and centralization.
But hey, Morning Joe are nothing if not consistent when it comes to the worship and elevation of the trivial to that which ought be revered and reified.
And I've heard from inside Republican circles and right-wing media that the hate campaign against Kamala Harris has begun.
You'll notice they purposefully pronounce her name wrong.
They say Kamala.
They do it all the time.
It is on purpose.
But the talk is to start that hate campaign and get it going and start it churning.
There is no point in hate.
There is no point in hating anyone, certainly on the basis of characteristics that are inhered.
It's pointless, it's irrelevant, it's ridiculous, it's a total and utter waste of time.
But that oughtn't be used to prevent you critiquing figures that obviously operate within establishment positions that are Well, it's been observed, hasn't it, that Kamala Harris, that's the right way of saying it, who likes it when your name's mispronounced, I like to be called always Brickhouse Russell.
If I'm called anything other than Brickhouse Russell, I'm offended.
But it's been observed that Kamala Harris, during just recent months, would have been aware of the senescence and decline of Joe Biden, and would have participated in its cover-up, and that's odd, and many people point to Difficult facts in her record, the incarceration of black men, the prolonging of their sentences, the persecution for marijuana offenses, and here's Tulsi Gabbard, another woman of color, I don't think I said her name right either, I've got a real issue with this, explaining during the primary debates some of the reasons for her concerns about Kamala Harris for president that time around.
Have a look.
I want to bring the conversation back to the broken criminal justice system that is disproportionately negatively impacting black and brown people all across this country today.
Senator Harris says she's proud of her record as a prosecutor and that she'll be a prosecutor president, but I'm deeply concerned about this record.
There are too many examples to cite, but she put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana.
She blocked evidence.
She blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row until the courts forced her to do so.
She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California.
And she fought to keep the cash bail system in place that impacts poor people in the worst kind of way.
Thank you Congresswoman.
Senator Harris.
That's enough of that!
RFK, friend of the show, independent candidate, potential member of Trump administration.
What do you guys think about that?
Says that Kamala Harris is un-e-lectable!
Kamala has a lot of vulnerabilities that we're going to hear more and more about over the next coming, over the next hundred and, I think it's 104 days.
Oh, Kamala.
For one thing, Pierce, Kamala was kind of the concealer-in-chief.
She was talking every day, according to her own recounting, to President Biden, and she was the one who was coming out onto the podium and saying there was nothing wrong, that there was no problem, and so clearly she was Either she was blind to the kind of thing that we all saw during the debate, or she was trying to protect her own career by putting the country's interests secondary.
And I think that that's something that the Trump campaign is going to have billions of dollars to put that story on TV.
Vice President Harris was also one of the public officials in California.
Who created these policies that gave California, made California 49th in terms of education outcome.
Number one in terms of homelessness, California, 50% of the homeless people in our country live in California.
That's not a good record to run on.
And I think she has a lot of other vulnerabilities that, you know, that we're going to hear more and more about and that essentially are going to make her Uh, unelectable.
And I wonder as well how significant it is that Barack Obama has not yet, as at time of streaming, endorsed Kamala Harris and whether or not the divisions within the Democratic Party will ultimately mean they find it difficult to get their shit together.
In time to get behind one candidate.
Of course, Vivek Ramaswamy's analysis was always and has been for some months now that they would not run with Biden.
They would find a last minute candidate that could benefit from a honeymoon period whilst going into the polls and the election itself.
And whilst that seems to actually, yes, be the strategy that's been deployed, I don't know that they have the candidate That's got the minerals for the job.
Kamala Harris, we've kind of been watching her for the last four years and there's been too many sort of extraordinary moments and the record is not good, is it?
Some of the things that Tulsi just pointed out are cause for considerable concern.
Another authoritarian, another member of the establishment.
In a sense, the Democratic Party has created this situation for themselves by resisting first the sort of inert Momentum behind Bernie Sanders, who I know you lot hate, but for a minute he was a big anti-bank, anti-big finance candidate.
Bobby Kennedy, who would have been, had there been proper primaries, next in line when this deal went down.
Marianne Williamson, the more kind of new age, sort of spiritual version of a candidate.
You know, she wrote that Course in Miracles, didn't she?
And, you know, gruesome Newsome, he's gonna wait for his moment, don't you think?
He's gonna wait for his moment.
Did the RNC hurt you? Maybe that's what it was.
I don't know when I got this injury. I'm gonna find that out in a moment.
Anyway, I would say that at the moment, while we are still in a kind of extraordinary,
kind of a clandestine operation of selecting a candidate out of some pretty slim pickings
to go up against a newly resurrected Trump, it's unlikely that anyone pulled from that
pack's gonna make a meaningful difference.
But that's just what I think.
Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
Okay, guys, let's have a look at this.
Now, Elon Musk's The conversation with Jordan Peterson has made a significant impact and I wouldn't be surprised if the whole reason he had that conversation was to make the revelation about his son who's been taking puberty blockers and who he regards as being, and the word he uses, is dead.
We are perhaps seeing here a moment where the cultural conversation might radically shift.
We've sort of, in a sense, already pivoted from an ongoing rather tremulous acceptance of the extraordinary shifts that are happening around the lives of young people and flexibility around gender and the acceptance that there are a thousand, a million, endless ways to be a man or a woman Into a moment that's beginning to, I would say, rescind some of the largesse that's been afforded previously here.
Is this going to be the moment that the culture war conversation around gender and gender realignment, particularly when it comes to young people, shifts irrevocably?
Let's have a look.
Here they are.
Why are you willing to make this an issue?
It happened to one of my older boys, where I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys, Xavier.
This is before I had really any understanding of what was going on.
We had COVID going on and so there was a lot of confusion.
You know, I was told, you know, Xavier might commit suicide if he didn't.
That was a lie right from the outset.
No reliable clinician ever believed that.
There was never any evidence for that.
And also, if there's a higher suicide rate, the reason is, is because of the underlying depression and anxiety and not because of the gender dysphoria.
And every goddamn clinician knows that too.
And they're too cowardly to come out and say it.
Right, and so that, and then we end up in exactly, when I saw that lie start to propagate, it just made the hair on the back of my neck stand up, it's like, I see, so you're telling parents that unless they agree to this radical transformation that their children are going to die, and you think that's moral, and you think that's true, that is so pathological that it's almost incomprehensible.
I can't imagine a therapist doing anything worse than that.
Or sitting by idly and remaining silent while his colleagues are doing it.
It's pathetic.
It's incredibly evil.
And I agree with you that people that have been promoting this should go to prison.
It won't stop till that happens.
Yeah, it'll just go underground There's all puberty blockers are being accessed online by kids all the time through non-medical channels So yeah, it's not gonna stop.
Yeah.
Okay, so I see so that's I was tricked into doing this and It wasn't explained to me that puberty blockers are actually just sterilization drugs So Um, anyway, uh, and so, I lost my son, essentially.
Uh, so, you know, they, uh, they call it deadnaming for a reason.
Yeah, I... Alright, so the reason it's called deadnaming is because, uh, your son is dead.
So my son Xavier is dead.
Killed by the woke mind virus.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Yeah.
I can't imagine what that would be like.
Yeah.
So... Yeah, and there's lots of people in that situation now.
Right.
It's not pretty.
And lots of demolished kids.
Yes.
Yeah, well, that's a good reason to be the final straw.
All right, so let's... So I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that.
Well, it's an interesting insight into Elon Musk, who remains a controversial figure as all that wields such extraordinary power must be.
It was interesting, I thought, to see Trump talking about he's reneging on electric car policies and acknowledging that Obviously, Musk has significant amounts to gain from policies that endorse or even mandate the advancement of electric vehicles, but nevertheless, Musk remains a supporter.
When I say the political is personal, It's difficult to not form your political opinions on the basis of personal trauma and if not trauma, experience.
We see now that Elon Musk is entering the cultural war in perhaps the same way he entered his ownership of X because of a kind of Personal transgression or at least personal pain.
And as a father, of course, anything traumatic, unusual or dramatic happening to a child is difficult to countenance and presents a considerable challenge.
But me or you having a challenge around the way that culture impacts our children or our child's identity is one thing.
Elon Musk facing that challenge is something else.
Because, let's face it, Elon Musk could create online sensations overnight with a single push of his thumb.
He can turn a small story or a small cultural incident into a phenomenon.
So, clearly a mandate was forming around these ideas when it comes to gender therapies.
The Tavistock Clinic in our country has certainly lost the glow and aura that it once had and certainly a lot of questions are being asked when Newsom endorses or passes policies that appear to allow children and teachers to have conversations that their parents are not privy to and I suppose they will argue that in instances where the parents are abusive that could be beneficial but many of us believe that we don't want corporations or the state intervening in our private
Personal, familial matters.
And that could of course include a choice to encourage our children to explore their identity beyond the afforded paradigm of the culture, or yet even still, biology, nature, God, Or we might decide no, we're sticking with what appears to be biologically apposite, traditional and culturally prescribed.
If you believe in liberty, if you believe in freedom, then of course you believe in other people's liberty and freedom and it's an interesting One thing that cannot be disputed is that now that Elon Musk has so vociferously, personally and with such certainty ended this debate, there will be permutations in the days to come and there will be perhaps a greater push for more rigorous legislation.
But that's just what I think.
Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
You know, if you're thinking, wow, I've had an hour of this but I just still need more.
Well, you can have more because we are staying here for our AwakendWonder community.
I'm going to be answering your questions because one of the things we offer is the ability to ask me any question you want.
I'd like to ask you a question!
I could use this to purge some of the hate I've accumulated over a lifetime.
You can do that.
You can purge your hate if you want.
We're okay.
We've got broad shoulders, baby.
But if you have legit questions or illegitimate questions, baby, we will answer them for you for our Awaken Wonders.
Before we go, though, Another massive cultural event has taken place.
Joker, when it first came out, when the first Joker movie with Joaquin Phoenix came out, it captures a certain moment, the moment of nihilism, a kind of, is it a manifesto for the incels?
Is it kind of Thomas Crook's favorite movie?
Well, Joker 2 is a On its way out now.
Where will they take the story of the peculiar and malevolent protagonist antagonist central character?
I ain't watched this trailer yet.
I feel that the first movie it's pretty powerful and I like Tarantino's point that when he takes out De Niro in the chat show scene at the end. You as an
audience are kind of willing him to make that rather, if not nihilistic, downright malfeasant move. So
clearly Todd Phillips is a gifted storyteller if he can get his audience into that mindset.
Certainly that was Tarantino's point.
Let's have a look at the trailer for The Joker and see if the second movie can harness and
capitalize on the success of the zeitgeist sensation that was the first Joker movie.
Two years ago, the name Arthur Fleck hit Gotham like a hurricane.
The trial of the century.
They believe Arthur Fleck to be some kind of martyr.
Well, he's not.
He's a monster.
♪ When you're smiling ♪ ♪ When you're smiling ♪

Showtime!
When you're smiling When you're smiling The whole world smiles with me You can do anything you want.
You're Joker.
Look around!
Look at all these people!
I will no longer allow any of you to keep me down.
I got the sweetest suspicion that we're not giving the people what they want.
It's okay, baby.
Let's give the people what they want.
Sing hallelujah, come on get happy Get ready for the judgment day
*Music* It's an interesting take, I feel, because the initial incarnations and iterations of Joker focus on his criminal ingenuity, that he's like the star of many thrillers, like the criminal mastermind.
But this is about pathology, isn't it?
It's about pathology and mental illness and nihilism and social decay and social decline.
He's not a joker that's brilliant, he's an inverted victim.
That's what this is about.
It's very much, I suppose, an attempt, it seemed to me at least, on the basis of some of the images there, to capitalise on Jan 6 energy.
I bet that'll be some of it.
I'm assuming, I don't know what Todd Phillips' political persuasions are, but he's operating out of Hollywood.
But nevertheless, What I felt in them was the kind of attempt to harness the pathology of a nation in a hazy, fluxy time.
Whether you're a person that's sort of culturally on the left or, you know, a sort of a religious individual or, you know, or of the right, wherever you sit, What we are starting to witness and experience is the sort of hastening high-velocity implosion of a culture that was for a long time successful and working well, i.e.
the post-war consumer ideal is starting to break down.
People no longer believe that if you work hard you'll be rewarded, you'll go to college,
you'll have a better house than your parents, everything's going to be okay.
There is a sort of sense of pervasive despair and what people are looking for, I believe,
is an attempt to find meaning once again and an attempt to sort of invest meaning into
nihilism cannot ever succeed.
You can't get meaning from the antithesis of meaning.
I had a conversation once with Brett Weinstein and he said that he believed the resurgence of Christianity was an attempt to reboot the last thing that works.
I take issue with that obviously because I'm, you know, I'm a Christian and I believe that there is a divine sublime truth expressed in itself through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and indeed I believe that Nationalism is an attempt to reboot the last thing that worked, and it's a response to global corporatism.
That's one of the many modern cultural philosophical paradoxes that we find ourselves within.
I.e., oh, it's one world, and we're proud of our heritage, and we're going to have sports tournaments where we sort of celebrate our nation.
And yet there are open borders and we're well aware that we're governed by forces that are beyond the sovereignty of a nation, that real power is not within the political institutions of a country necessarily, but institutions and interests that are transcendent of them.
That's the whole deep state global corporatist purview, isn't it?
And a figure like, you know, Arthur Fleck there in the attempt to sort of introduce a love story, which I guess is just necessary if you're gonna create another movie that's so that it's not just the same movie again, seems to me that it's riding on the pathology of that nihilism.
Yeah, someone mentioned Charles Manson and sort of MKUltra stuff in the chat and it's this deep suspicion that nothing is real, that television is not your friend, that the media is not your friend, that the judiciary is corrupted, is the pervasive and defining view and perspective of our time a total lack of trust.
Remember we talked earlier on today about how Some people will say that the Trump assassination was a deep state project.
Others will say Trump's team set that up themselves.
You will ultimately concoct a theory that allows you to continue to believe what you believe anyway, because there is no central universal principle.
So when you get people saying, I'm a cultural Christian, what they're saying is...
I want something to mean something so that we can have institutions and values, but I'm not willing to surrender to the idea that God's God self came down into the simulation.
The creator of the simulation came into the simulation to tell you that there's a transcendent eternal reality.
And remember, eternity is not a long piece of time.
Eternity is beyond time.
And I believe that where we are now is at the point where we need to invest our reality with Some real deep meaning.
Otherwise, we are going to descend into total atrophy, entropy, and despair.
But that's just what I think.
Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
Certainly, it's going to be a movie that people go see, right?
Anyway, guys, I'm going to jump over to the Awaken Wonder chat.
Tomorrow, we've got Carrie Lake and Jim Jordan on the show.
Brilliant conversations that I know you will enjoy.
Consider becoming an Awaken Wonder so you can put your questions to me in the chat.
Over there, and you know, there's loads of good stuff over there because I'm mimicking the rhythms of Chappelle.
Just meet my monkey pussy!
That's the rhythm that I'm using.
Alright you lot, thanks for joining us today.
See you tomorrow for Jim Jordan and Carrie Lake and a great conversation with George Janko on Friday that I'm looking forward to.
See you tomorrow, not for more of the same, but for more of the different.
