Thanks.
Hello there, you awakening wonders.
Thanks for joining us today for Stay Free with Russell Brand.
We've got some extraordinary stories to cover.
Of course, the tragic events in Southport, in my country, the UK, the connotations, implications, and I suppose causes.
Let's have a look at it open-mindedly and see if we can find some territory that's helpful and maybe even conciliatory for the poor, grieving parents of the murdered schoolgirls who lost their lives in a Friended and dreadful attack yesterday and how do various contributors, political and cultural, seek to gain territory or credibility from it and I'm sort of mindful of it myself when talking about something so awful.
Of course we'll also be talking about the assassination of the Hamas leader in Tehran.
That's really interesting and potentially hugely Incendiary story given the nature of the assassination.
We'll also be looking in some detail, let me know what you think about this, at the potential coup or electoral or election interference in Venezuela and who benefits.
It's so hard now to track Just exactly how the system, the blob, the deep state is manipulating things.
It's become increasingly complicated.
Just when I think I've understood it, there's a new layer to it.
Thankfully there are also somewhat sensational stories involving political candidates that sort of at least Just give you a kind of scintillating kick about human beings so they're kind of easier to understand because they involve themes like, I don't know, vanity and self-centeredness and things that are identifiable and easy to understand.
Listen, if you're not an awakened wonder yet, if you're not a member of our locals community, but consider becoming one.
We do additional content and I suppose, tell me if you think this is interesting, we do like Bible studies and prayer and meditation but also cultural analysis, stuff like stand-up comedy.
And you get early access to some of the conversations I have with other contributors like Adam Carolla, who I was talking to like about a week ago.
In fact, I'm going on his show later today.
And I really enjoy Adam Carolla.
He's a sort of, you know, hey, if anyone's the podfather, it's Adam Carolla.
Listen, we're going to be on YouTube, if you're watching us there, for about 10 minutes, but then you're going to have to click the link in the description and join us over on Rumble.
Generally, it's because we can speak more freely there.
They are non-sensorial, except with regard to matters for which there are already laws.
Hate speech, you know, incendiary, invective, I suppose, would already be covered by legislation, but they don't create new corporatized ways of generating the conditions for censorship, such as you suspect goes on in global big tech platforms such as YouTube, Alphabet, particularly when you see the way they're sort of censoring even pretty regular stories.
Let's have a look first of all about the assassination of this Hamas leader, then we're going to cover with as much Sensitivity as possible the murder of those poor little girls in Southport in the UK.
All right let's get into this first story and then what we'll try to do is throughout it see if we can create some sense of cohesion or do we just have to yield to the idea that the world is Irretrievably and irrevocably chaotic the order rests upon chaos and that chaos will claim us back as surely as if it were some subaquatic beast waiting to devour us.
Let's have a look first though about the assumed Mossad assassination of a Hamas leader in Tehran and see Whether or not this will lead us to peace or potentially an all-consuming global war which now appears to have Russia-Ukraine as a front, the Middle East potentially a war involving Iran as a front, maybe even Venezuela is part of this and certainly you know that
escalating tensions between the US and China over Taiwan is a front.
And I have the sense, amateur though I am, that this is a kind of pre-First World War period
where there are these peculiar axes and alliances, these resource-based interests,
these surging forces of dominion coalescing and organizing.
This time though the technology is not the advance of industry as it was in World War One but these kind of communicative technologies and the bizarre connotations of bewilderment where you can't even have a simple global celebration of sport without it seeming somehow oddly nihilistic.
But let's have a look first of all at this assassination in Tehran.
Breaking news here on CNN.
A major development in the Middle East.
Hamas says the political leader of the organization the U.S.
calls a terror group has been killed in Tehran.
So far, the Israeli military is only saying they do not respond to reports in the foreign media.
The White House says it is aware of the reports and is monitoring it.
A statement from the group said he was killed in an Israeli raid on a house in the Iranian capital, Tehran, that he was staying in.
Israel's military is not commenting.
It said the raid took place after he had attended the inauguration of the new Iranian president.
Ismail Hanir had been leading negotiations with Israel and his death is likely to affect any chances of progress.
A Hamas official described the assassination as a grave escalation that will not go unpunished.
So he was leading the diplomatic and potential peaceful resolution to a conflict which, whatever side of it you are on, is just a draining, ghouling, ghoulish Exercise in total despair that I have to be honest I sometimes just turn away from because I'm unable to conceptualize or deal with it.
Something as dreadful as events in Southport where three children are murdered seems although almost overwhelming if you think about it of course it's not an ongoing continual desecration and ongoing set of deaths and tragedies such as any war would generate
and as is likely to continue for some time in the various fronts of what
increasingly looks like a like a world war and when you think about how much we've
been consumed by the emergence of Kamala Harris the extraordinary Gideon carousel
of American events
The assassination attempt on Donald Trump, the debate, the post-debate fallout, the sudden positioning of Kamala, which we'll cover in some degree a little later, by the way.
Stay with us for that.
You get the sense that what we are experiencing now is a kind of apocalyptic End game.
And diplomacy, which is just three syllables for kindness, communication, love, and connection, has fallen by the wayside.
And it becomes clear how that's happened when you watch, as I recently did, the new Chief Diplomat for the UN describing... No, she's from the EU.
Who doesn't even appear to understand the concept of diplomacy itself.
So while we're caught up in this sort of charade and spectacle of American domestic politics, which is extraordinary and exciting and bewildering, giddying soap opera, don't you think, bloody hell, these Middle Eastern wars are continuing.
The assassination of Ishmael Haniyeh is a reminder of that.
And also, of course, Ukraine-Russia is continuing.
You're continuing to fund it, people are continuing to die, and it's likely to go on for some considerable time yet, because the people in charge of diplomacy at the EU, Asset 31 guys, just across the page, don't seem to understand What the word diplomacy even actually means.
Have a listen to her talking about Vladimir Putin and like, you can't talk to Vladimir Putin, there's no point in it.
Like, but you do need to talk to people if you're trying to avert, avoid, curtail or limit War and death.
Have a look at this.
To me, it's the question, why talk to him?
I mean, why?
He's a war criminal.
I mean, I'm a lawyer by profession and I looked up the definition of war crimes and genocide for that matter.
And it is the willingness to get rid of, you know, part... Also look up the word diplomacy next time you got your dictionary open it's going to involve conversation with people that you don't currently agree but at some point just talking to people you agree with part of the nation or or a whole nation and
And he has expressed this will, his intention, he has done steps for this, and he's a war criminal.
And if you say that, you know, there is no outcome of talking to him, then why talk to him?
Because I feel, I don't see into his head, of course, and into Gremlin's walls, but I feel that if everybody is constantly calling him, he doesn't get the message that he's isolated.
So if we want to get him the message through that actually you're isolated, don't call him.
No point.
Oh well, so these wars are likely to continue to get worse.
More and more people will die, more and more money will get spent.
The people that have been specifically employed, in the discipline of diplomacy, don't understand the
meaning of the word.
So it's nice to know that while these assassinations are taking place,
while these military exercises are taking place, while people are dying across the world,
no one is considering that the solution might involve talking to people with whom you have grievance and conflict.
We're going to leave YouTube now, so click the link in the description.
We're going to talk a little more about the Kamala Harris campaign.
We're going to talk about the complexity of Venezuela and the ongoing CIA involvement in that region.
And firstly, we're going to talk about my country, Southport, the murder of three children.
I suppose, you know, I feel bad because like, you know, of course when you're talking about war, death, anywhere, it shouldn't be regional and geographical, should it?
But I guess it's the summer holidays here, my kids are in clubs like that, and you're sort of suddenly reminded that death is nearby.
Click the link in the description, join us as we try to understand this extraordinary time.
So, if you're watching us in the UK, you'll be aware of this story already.
If you're not watching us in the UK, you'll be I guess you'll perhaps be aware because of the ongoing stories in countries like the United States and France that centre around unease and disruption when it comes to the subject of migration.
This story has already caused a lot of controversy with many people saying that the identity of the murderer ought be made public.
And various conflicting claims made about the identity of the young man who's evidently a minor.
This country, like many countries, already is starting to feel like a tinderbox.
Feels like things could go off at any moment.
There's been rioting in Leeds, there's been rioting overnight in Southport, there's been rioting recently in Dublin.
Many of these riots Center around real or perceived grievances around the subject of migration which in itself however you carve it up is a consequence of globalism.
Let's have a look at this tragic story with as much clear-sightedness as we can muster with the bewilderment and beleaguered state induced by such tragic events.
And see if we can understand some of the complexity of a story like this, and whether or not anything conciliatory can be plucked from the ashes of such a dreadful, dreadful tale.
Let's have a look now, firstly, at some of the riots that's been taking place.
The people have already, like, in their chat saying, you know, it's not a minor, evidence suggests the opposite.
People talking about numerous stabbings, and I guess when you look, do you know that there's a sort of Note in yourself whether or not you have an appetite to have a certain perception of this or any other story.
You know, like my view will be colored by the fact that I'm English, that I have daughters of the age of these girls.
All of that stuff will play into my perspective.
I wonder what can happen when we observe these tendencies and that's in particular what we'll be looking at because already We know that when it comes to the subject of migration, which is generally regarded as an issue of the right, there are globalist and centrist interests that can strongly benefit from fear around migration as well.
It's an unusual and surprising story.
We'll be unpacking it in some detail over the next few minutes.
Violence has erupted as a community mourns the deaths of three young girls stabbed at a Taylor Swift dance class.
A riot breaking out in the English town where the attack unfolded.
A broken community comes together to mourn at a vigil before anger and division boils over.
Riot police called in to try and control crowds who gathered at a Southport mosque.
Officers pelted with bricks and bins.
Vehicles set on fire following the stabbing attacks that claimed three lives.
Hart Street and the wider Southport community are hurting.
Many locals telling me they feel helpless, struggling to come to terms with such an evil act.
A 17-year-old remains in custody.
False claims about his identity spreading online.
Police say he was born in Wales.
As some locals rage, the families of the girls mourn.
In Southport, England, Jessica Millward, 9News.
Let's have a look at the new Prime Minister of the UK, Keir Starmer, laying a wreath, a necessary ritual in a tragic event of this nature.
And on the point of the age of the currently arrested individual, I wonder if we can get confirmation of the fact if, whether or not, Keir Starmer, while when head of the CPS, Rescinded anonymity for people tried in those riots.
Was that true?
We heard that when Keir Starmer was head of the Crown Prosecution Service, minors who rioted during that period were denied the usual right of anonymity granted to minors in order to maximally publicize Their arrests, persecution and often incarceration because at that point the agenda was to use the power of the judiciary to generate fear and control.
It's just an interesting sideline.
We've got that article somewhere, I'd just like to confirm that over the course of the next few minutes and let's have a look first of all at Keir Starmer laying a wreath and there's obviously and understandably a good deal of tension and rage and Agony and grief in the community where the events took place.
This is Keir Starmer laying a reef at the scene.
Oh, do you have you guys got it on you?
Okay guys, I'm gonna then I'm gonna just look at this post so can you put my deck onto the other page?
Thank you.
Now there are sort of a series of reactions to the to the event and it's really curious because These are the kind of commentators that in my country Get significantly censored.
I'm going to start with this post from David Icke.
Now David Icke is, I mean, he's one of the most heavily censored individuals in the world.
Many of you will have heard his theories on interdimensional beings, reptilians, cults.
A lot of you know pretty esoteric stuff which I've spoken to with you know I because I'm fascinated by David Icke and Alex Jones in a way many of us exist in territory that they for good or ill forged but when it comes to his reaction to this story have a look so Yeah, first of all he sort of outlines the idea that power benefits when ordinary people are in conflict.
He also talks about a commonly understood idea in many, say, right-wing or online circles, if that moniker is no longer appropriate, that there is a tendency or even plan to use migration to create disruption.
Let's have a look.
Falling for the plot, says Ike.
Scenes in Southport near a mosque in the wake of the child murders.
They are pawns in a game they don't understand and this is what they need to know.
I've been warning for so long that the plan was to allow unchecked numbers of people from other cultures and religions into the West, mostly adult young men.
And then instigate trigger events to create uncivil war between them and the indigenous culture.
Now, I know a lot of you will be sympathetic to that idea.
I've heard Alex Jones talk about ideas like that.
Tucker Carlson has been attacked, hasn't he, for talking about replacement theory.
Remember when he was in Australia and that journalist said, oh, the replacement of white individuals?
And Tucker said, no, no, it's not just white individuals.
It's blue collar or working class people.
Now, when I had a conversation with George Galloway, who's very much a figure of the left and very pro-Muslim, I think you'd agree, He said that when migration impacts the ability of working people to earn a good wage, then it's a problem that wherever you sit on the political spectrum you should be interested.
And that's before we get into the kind of ideas that are obviously powerful motivators in resurgent nationalist movements like the EDL in this country.
Where we'll take this in a minute, which I think you'll be fascinated to learn about, is how we get from David Icke into Tony Blair.
And how Tony Blair, and everything that he represents for it, if there is a face...
If there is a face of globalism, it may yet be Tony Blair's face.
He uses this idea of migration, not in association with these tragic events, but in a general way, to legitimise the idea of digital IDs more generally.
You'll be fascinated to see that.
I'm just going to pull up that post again.
Thanks.
We are in a classic divide and rule in which the two sides, this is still Ike's post, manipulated by the same force, are brought into conflict to create chaos and mayhem.
One to justify fascist laws.
That's interesting.
Let's see where this goes.
Let's see if there are more conflagrations and more riots as grieved people try to grapple with pretty serious events.
Let's see if there's that kind of martial or prohibitive response.
Two, generate widespread fear and anger.
And three, have the sides so focused on fighting each other that they don't see the strings attached to both held by the same hand.
Both sides are being played by a hidden hand via puppet governments with mass immigration that has transformed Western cities with the incoming cultures.
Now, certainly, now we're moving back in the territory that classic pundits of the right have been commenting on for a long while,
whether you're talking about PJW or Alex Jones or Tucker, whether you're talking about independent media
or even more contemporary media, or even now, if you're talking about
a purportedly center-left political leader, although that's sort of difficult to claim,
like Kirstahmer saying that migration is out of control.
So of course, a figure like Nigel Farage would say he's not gonna do anything about it.
Or when we saw Joe Biden, when he was still president, remember that, a million years ago,
emulating Trump's border policies.
Although, of course, what people on the right would say is, yeah, they're using that rhetoric,
but they'll never deploy that policy.
When it comes to rhetoric, at least, everyone acknowledges that migration is a problem, it seems.
That there is less inclination, isn't there?
Would you agree to sort of say, oh no, come on, we have to have open borders
and we have to protect one another?
Even though the values of compassion and kindness are hugely significant, defining even,
It's starting to seem like the problems that migration generates are very serious and have to be addressed.
We're starting to see some incredible consequences.
Not that I am at this point suggesting that this particular story is related to that because we still don't have conclusive evidence, but more generally you can see how the kind of unrest that Ike is describing here is becoming either much more prevalent Or is being discussed a lot more.
We'll work that out over the next few minutes as well as best we can.
This has been coldly calculated for decades, especially since the Blair era which set out to culturally change Britain in a way that was irreversible.
The focus should be directed at those in political power and their masters in the shadows who have made this happen and go on doing so.
Cultures from other lands need to respect the culture they enter and not, as some do, seek to usurp it and impose their own.
If you go on doing that, then uncivil war is inevitable.
Both sides have been put in this situation by a cult that hates them.
Whether white or brown, you're all just human trash to the cult.
We have to find common ground and realize that we are being played off against each other for an agenda that involves the fascist control of all of us.
Both sides need to realize there is a common foe and find common cause in responding to that.
If we don't, we ain't seen nothing yet.
I suppose what Ike is suggesting is that civil unrest will be used to justify further social controls and civilian management, as well as, as he says in that post, distracting us from the possibility that there are central authorities that benefit from these disputes.
It's difficult, isn't it, to go into that kind of territory when at the very core of this issue are three murdered children.
But there's another post here from a pundit and commentator in our country, Majid Nawaz, talking about, in a sense, taking on similar themes in response to this post.
What did last night achieve?
She's Leilani Dowding responding to the rioting.
He says, The same nefarious parties who condemned rioting in Hare Hills by lawless immigrants in our country are provoking lawless rioting in Southport because of immigrants.
This is Tony Blair's wet dream.
Civil war, divide and conquer, digital ID and technocracy.
Is this where this is heading?
Now many of us, many of the viewers, many of our community will be, I suppose, ensnared, enraptured, captured by the details of this horrific crime, even though they are still details upon which most people are speculating.
It's hard not to, isn't it?
It's hard to even go anywhere near the grief that the parents of those little girls might be feeling.
In fact, can you post in the chat the ex post that I did earlier, the Ram Dass post, because it's kind of Conciliatory, at least.
Thanks guys, I appreciate that.
Because when Ram Dass talks about the feelings of grief that any parent who's lost a child will understand, it's kind of, God, it's an attempt to connect you with the spiritual resources that people are going to require in times like this, particularly if these kind of things are going to become more prevalent.
Now, While we learn more about whoever committed those murders, it's important, I think, to bear in mind the potential for control afforded to those in authority when countries fall into dispute and unrest.
Let's have a look at Tony Blair, who plainly is a good embodiment of that.
Digital ID for me is a very big part of the future, and let me explain why.
So, your digital ID can play a part in COVID, but also, if you think of the transactions that you want to do now with your customers, it's much simpler for them if they have a digital identity.
Well, you take the big issue in the Western world today, which is, you know, quite apart from Covid, I would say is worries about immigration, who has the right to be in your country, who has the right not to be.
Without a form of identity, it's very hard to tell who's got a right to be in a country, who's not.
So, inevitably, governments are going to move in this direction.
Absolutely inevitably.
So that's sort of how you could see globalists, if that's how you would describe Tony Blair, responding to this kind of unrest.
Whether it's COVID, commerce, or civil unrest, digital ID and civilian management is a good idea.
Here's Tony Blair on the subject of immigration.
There are genuine concerns about immigration.
Concerns about, particularly, frankly, and again you've got to be honest about this on the left, we want to deal with the problem.
There's an anxiety about people coming in from Muslim countries as to whether they are truly going to integrate with society or whether you might have security or problems to do with extremism coming in on the back of it.
If you literally just Say, well, it's too difficult.
I don't want to have that conversation.
Fine, but then you're not having the conversation that your people are having.
How do you imagine these events afford opportunity to people whose focus is nation-first politics?
Let's have a look at Nigel Farage's response to this. You know, Nigel Farage and I spoke briefly
at the Republican National Congress and when it comes to the issue of mass, massive centralized
bureaucracies and mass migration, Nigel Farage is obviously a significant voice, whether you agree
with him or not. Let's have a look at Nigel Farage's response to this. Well it's pretty horrendous,
the third young girl has died as a result of the stabbings yesterday in Southport.
I obviously join everybody in my horror at what has happened.
The Prime Minister went to lay flowers and was heckled and it shows you how unhappy the public are with the state of law and order in our country.
I have to say there are one or two questions.
Was this guy being monitored by the security services?
Some reports say he was.
Something's changed about the agenda of the establishment.
terror incident. Just as they said the stabbing of an army lieutenant colonel
in uniform on the streets of Kent the other day was a non-terror incident.
Something's changed about the agenda of the establishment.
When I was younger, 10, 20 years ago, there was always a appetite to frame violence
as terror.
It was, I suppose, I don't know what was ordered.
Like, this incident is likely related to terror, this migrant community are terrorists.
There was a real appetite in mainstream media to frame stories in that way.
It seems subsequent to the Iraq wars and perhaps the agenda having been met when it comes to excursions and incursions into the Middle East.
It seems to be the opposite way, an attempt to frame things as being discreet from terror or extremism.
It's interesting.
It's interesting.
Why would that have changed?
Another note, isn't it the kind of thread of were the security services monitoring this individual?
That's another thing that's emerged.
That's, you know, with your man who attempted to assassinate Trump the other day.
That's another kind of narrative that unfolds.
Were security services aware of this person?
I suppose it's an attempt to allocate culpability, isn't it? Like, what if they knew
they should have done something about it?
Isn't it? Is it our job? What do you think? Is it our job to continue to return to the extraordinary
grief of the people directly affected and consider what would likely mean events like this would take
place less frequently? I suppose that's what we're all doing in our own way, isn't it?
And trying to manage the sense that there are various political and cultural forces that want to exploit the event.
And those include mainstream and peripheral forces.
Here, for example, on button 35, is the leader of our country
in the accepted and ordinary fashion doing that.
(crowd chattering)
It's an interesting piece of pageantry, isn't it?
And it sort of shows you that there is a type of dreadful theater associated with these events
and what people will be thirsting is a response that somehow makes sense to an event
that probably can't ever make sense.
Just to a point that we were discussing earlier, many of you will know, some of you won't, that prior to his political ascendancy, Keir Starmer had a position within the Crown Prosecution Service.
That's like being the Attorney General in the United States of America.
It's in charge of the prosecution side of the judiciary.
Now we've mentioned before, That about 10 years ago there were a lot of riots in our country that were provoked by the death in custody of a young man.
And there were a series of show trials to arrest, prosecute and imprison the perpetrators, I believe, in order to impose civil order and to show that the government was in control.
You let me know what you think it all meant.
Here's just a sort of an update on what we were talking about earlier.
The Crown Prosecution Service, led at that time by Keir Starmer, immediately relaxed the threshold used to determine whether or not to press charges against minors.
I mention that only in the event that the murderer in this instance is a minor.
Long-standing advice, but suspects are Under the age of 18, should not be tried for minor offences, was suspended.
Okay, so they sort of relaxed that understanding even if it wasn't legislatively intransigent.
It sounds like there was a degree of flexibility because it says long-standing advice rather than laws or regulations.
Actions normally regarded as theft were treated as burglary so as to ensure maximum jail time.
Cases were pushed from magistrates courts to crown courts ensuring that longer sentences were available and costing minors their right to anonymity in the press right as it goes from magistrate to crown.
So I'm only raising that point because of of the anonymity currently afforded to the suspect innocent until proven guilty in this terrible, awful, this dreadful, heartbreaking case.
And just to sort of show you how even law, which we think of as being something permanent and transcendent, can be utilized.
I'm gonna have to explain that to you if you're American, 'cause you'll be familiar with the term lawfare
and how the law is frequently mobilized as a resource.
So while as a parent and as a human being, at the moment it's difficult to tackle or grapple
with the murder of three young girls and what the cultural implications of it
and what the unraveling and analysis of it might lead us to, what we can be alert to,
as well as I'm sure a roster of other issues, is the potential of the state and existing authority
to exploit this event eventually to legitimize further power and civilian control.
In just the way you might say that even if you take a very generous analysis of the coronavirus pandemic, health crises can be exploited to legitimise control.
People become more Malleable and willing to accept overt measures of control when they're frightened, divided or full of hate.
And I suppose that's when we have to assess our own ability to remain, particularly if we're not directly affected like the poor, grieving parent and others affected by the death of these three children, to To a degree, stay connected to some kind of perspicacity and some kind of faith, even though at a time like this, it's obviously extremely difficult.
But that's just what I think.

Hey, are you an awakened wonder yet?
Have you seen when I do analysis of stand-up comedy?
We've done Richard Pryor, we've done Louis C.K., we've done Chappelle.
It's good stuff.
I wonder if these people in the chat are right.
I mean, you're talking about some crazy stuff in there about political updates.
I don't think you're right, Chris Pope.
I think you're a crazy baby in the rumble chat.
Hey there you awakened wonders.
Did you guys already see, is this camera on today?
Let me know if it's, did it survive the power cut?
Thanks guys.
You know what I liked in the conversation with Adam Carolla guys, is I like the bit where, dear Adam Carolla, what number's he on?
Adam Corolla Paramo?
36.
36, thanks.
I like it when Adam Corolla talked about authoritarianism in coronavirus.
We're just talking about it when there's matters of civil unrest, when it's really difficult for people to not get mired in very visceral issues.
Well, here's Adam Corolla talking about authoritarianism during COVID.
And is that what you believe?
That they find ways to justify authority?
I believe that COVID was a test to see who wanted authority the most.
And there are certain states where the people in charge went, you know, it's not my business to shut down the beaches and it's not my business to shut down schools or lock you in your house or force you to wear a mask or force you to get a vaccination.
Like, that was their impulse.
And I think that would be my impulse, too.
On the other hand, many are attracted to it.
COVID to me was just a test to see who was most attracted to authority.
[Clip]
It's up now for you Awaken Wonders.
I'm going to go on his thing a little later.
Have a look at the social media chat in there, you guys.
Right, in a minute we'll talk about Venezuela and whether or not Venezuela is about to become, one, another CIA coup state, and two, whether or not it's a part of the escalating World War Three narrative that's Let's have a little bit of fun and a little bit of lightness in Increasingly what seems like a mad dark world simply enjoying the tendency of politicians to adapt their personality Based on the audience.
They're speaking to Kamala Harris early days of the campaign out there.
I think in Atlanta Trying out some new accents.
And you all helped us win in 2020 and we're gonna do it again in 2024!
Yes we will.
Yes we will.
It was only really the four that was lent into.
The four a little bit.
I know myself that I bounce around my little class ladder depending on who I'm talking to.
You should see me in the back of a black cab.
I'm stopping all over the shop.
That's nothing compared to what dear Hillary Clinton, I mean this is from Hillary Clinton, it's hard to believe that this actually happened, but it's also, I like Hillary Clinton better like this, and feel like she should do this all the time.
I don't feel no ways tired.
And you all helped us win in 2020 and we're going to do it again in 2024.
And indeed, I wonder what is the significance of this event.
I've not watched RuPaul's Drag Race before, but I understand it to be a popular show that has considerable influence.
Certainly, it appears to have caught Kamala Harris's attention.
Here she is appearing on it.
We are all in this together, and your vote is your power.
So please make sure your voice is heard this November and register to vote at vote.gov.
Can I get an amen?
Amen!
Now on with the show.
And remember, you better vote.
Why not?
Why not?
Okay, fair enough.
Hey, what about, um, because it's weird, isn't it?
Because I suppose Culturally, the conditions have been created where entertainment has this weight and freight and significance and power, and then we kind of find it ridiculous when that power is deployed.
It's customarily referred to as soft power, a good example being the cultural powers that emerge out of Japan.
It's economic power, it's power of commodity, because Japan has been, at various times, stymied as a result of various measures post the Second World War from engaging in military hard power.
But soft power is always kind of daft.
When especially when you see it in militarily mighty nations like America, he is soft power at play.
When I was at the RNC and saw the Hulk Hogan moment, I thought, wow, this is so extraordinary that this is what politics looks like now.
And I anticipated and indeed was rewarded for that anticipation because obviously the sort of legacy media, What?
Hulk Hogan?
This is ridiculous!
That guy's an idiot!
But is it any different than this as a cultural artifact, i.e.
the deployment of popular figures and cultural artifacts for support of a political figure?
Is it in itself ridiculous or is it only ridiculous sometimes?
Tell me in the chat.
Hey, hey, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is just the rapper endorsing a presidential candidate.
Maybe I suppose in the like old days, maybe if it was, I don't know, if it was Abraham Lincoln
campaigning, there'd have been someone with a bugle. "Abraham Lincoln, he's got what it takes!"
Like even our propaganda in our country, just contemporaneously, UK endorsements and propaganda
always look less good, either than the sort of trashy gaudiness of a Hulk Hogan endorsement.
I love that guy!
Or the kind of rather more slick and urbane endorsement of Megan Thee Stallion there.
Like, when we're doing this, I'd like to strongly suggest you vote for Sir Keir Stormer.
He's a good egg.
Stormageddon, we're calling it.
Like, when you sit in our country, I don't know man, it don't look right.
We never did glamour so well as you lot.
Uh, okay, let's see what, um, oh, this is something that a lot of people are well into.
Uh, Dana, Dana, Dana White.
He, um, here's him talking about the attempts to mobilize the, uh, Kamala campaign on CNN.
Here he goes.
This campaign has already gotten pretty nasty.
I think people expected it to get nasty.
Now that there is a new head of that Democratic ticket, it's the vice president, Kamala Harris.
You know, you have joked before that politics is way nastier than sports or the UFC.
But what we're seeing—I mean, there's a labeling of the vice president as a DEI hire.
You yourself have prided yourself on giving both men and women opportunities at your organization.
What do you think of this message that attacks the race and gender of an opponent?
Yeah, I don't judge people by their politics and, you know, who they vote for or any of that stuff.
And listen, I don't know Kamala.
She seems like she's a nice person.
You know, I have nothing against her whatsoever, and like I said, I'm not political, but do I think that she is fit for the job?
I do not, personally.
Politics are the most disgusting, nasty, it's atrocious what is said.
And the things that are being said on one side are being said on the other side, too.
About Trump and about, you know, his choice for Vice President.
It goes both ways.
This isn't like, oh my God, look what's being said about Kamala.
It goes both ways.
They're both saying it.
And like you said, it's already heated up and gotten nasty.
And like you said earlier, it's only going to get nastier.
That's politics.
It is what it is.
And it definitely goes both ways.
I don't know that it's going both ways to have the childless Cat Lady comment or a D.E.I.
hire.
Who's calling J—you think that Vice President Kamala Harris is calling J.D.
Vance a D.E.I.
hire, Dana?
Come on.
But either way, she's going to say other nasty stuff about both of them.
It goes both ways.
And as voters, what we need to do is cut through all the BS and you have to look at who do you think is best fit to run the country for the next four years.
That is our job as voters.
All of this stuff is a bunch of nasty BS.
All of it.
Who's best fit to run the country?
You as a voter, that's what you need to decide.
Not, oh my God, he said this and oh my God, she said that.
There's going to be a lot of that over the next several months.
And especially the media.
Cut through all the BS that the media on both sides.
You guys, you guys are really bad.
Fox is bad.
Everybody's bad.
Cut through the BS and vote for who you think is the most fit to run the country.
That's our job as voters.
Oh, that actually was quite, it was a relief to hear that, wasn't it?
Because he was testifying when he said politics has gotten so dark on both sides, it's mudslinging and nastiness.
Since becoming Christian, I felt more and more, I want one out, man.
I want to transcend this space.
I don't even want to talk about this stuff.
It's so Awful and ugly.
The Olympics.
Children are being murdered.
There's an endless sort of attempt to mobilize every single story into an issue that can be used to increase the power of one side and diminish the authority of the other.
I mean, it's just absolutely exhausting.
And a Christian principle like...
You are all saved due to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and by the tribunal of our Lord.
You have all failed.
None of you are better than each other.
None of you are worse than each other.
Forget quarrelling about that or quibbling for status amidst one another.
And this, by the way, outside of Christianity, you could look at that materialistically, rationally and cosmologically and say in infinite space.
What the hell are we arguing about which particular molecule has the shiniest new shoes?
But from a Christian perspective, there is a kind of a beauty and a grace in it that the creator of the simulation came on inside of the simulation and said, hey, awaken!
Love is the fuel.
Love is what you need to connect to.
Love God with all your heart.
Love one another.
Get out of this mad tribal crap.
And stop setting up altars to false gods of ego or greed or sex, all sorts of things that I myself have worshipped at at various points.
You know, when you see even Dana White just going, oh, it's like he's exhausted.
And he's sort of clearly, I mean, he spoke at the RNC, so I'm guessing he's a Trump supporter on that basis alone.
But it does seem more reasonable than the arena within which he's speaking.
Like, it's like the UFC is now Not violent.
It's not as violent as the media auditorium in which we're all conducting our discourse.
But, hey, that's just what I think.
Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
Now, it's time to address our old adversary, gravity.
Gravity, you're always bringing me down, dragging me down with a centrifugal force.
If only I had a pair of booties or shoes, of course, that could oppose that terrible thing.
That's gravity.
Have a look at this.

Hey, we're back, baby!
Oh, gravity, you're getting on my nerves, you filthy thing, you.
You filthy, dirty bastard, gravity.
Let me just have a look, see if there's anything else on there we should do, or should we do them all after the show?
Hey, you lot.
Gal, because Venezuela's a beast, I just wonder if we should prereq for Venezuela.
I mean, it's such a challenge.
Have you guys seen what's going on in Venezuela?
It's not easy.
It ain't easy, but I'm going to attempt it.
I'm going to attempt it.
Of journalistic integrity.
Right, listen you awakened wonders.
Venezuela.
Venezuela has been one of those countries that keeps cropping up on lists as potential American enemies and you always wonder what is it that, you know, I don't know, North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, What is it that's attracting the enmity and condemnation of America or more particularly American deep state or blob interest?
What's going on over there?
Why is it that people are doubting the outcome of their most recent election?
And what exactly is going on under the ground in Venezuela?
That means that the American state and establishment is interfering in their elections and potentially trying to install a government.
I'll give you one guess.
It's oil.
Of course it's oil.
It's always oil.
This time it's oil again.
Let's have a look though, first of all, at all of the various countries in the South, South American countries.
Yeah, oil pulling the string.
Let's have a look at the various Latin American, Central American countries that have had CIA
intervention and coups in the last, I don't know, 50, 60, maybe 80 years.
Check this out.
It's pretty funny.
Well, it's not funny.
It's true.
Here's every South American country which has had its government overthrown by the CIA
since 1947.
Costa Rica in 1948.
Guatemala in 1954.
El Salvador, 1979.
Nicaragua, 1981.
Panama, 1989.
Paraguay, 1954.
Brazil, 1964.
Peru, 1968.
Chile, 1973.
Uruguay, 1973.
Argentina, 1976.
And Venezuela in 2002.
Many of these were perceived as ideologically opposed to the United States, were leftist dictatorships, or were some combination of the two.
Okay, what's interesting is that the legacy media are reporting on this story in a way that suggests, at least an ex-user implied, that the CIA must be involved.
It's pretty interesting because when you look at like, say, Ukraine or Taiwan or Venezuela, they're always territories that have some sort of Economic, mineral, or commodity advantage.
Right, Taiwan, it's to do with them semiconductors, isn't it, and strategic proximity of China.
Ukraine, it's got a bunch of wheat in it, these biolabs, natural gas are required.
It's always some strategic thing that has to be sort of wallpapered over with.
The people of Ukraine need help.
The people of Taiwan need help.
People of Venezuela, these Poor bastards are being denied democracy.
We gotta deliver, we gotta ship democracy to them in little tin cans, if that's what it takes.
Here's the Legacy Media reporting on this story, and I guess let's try and pick out the agenda from what we can glean from their narrative, from counter-narratives, and also importantly, the history of CIA interventionism.
Breaking tonight, chaos in Caracas, Venezuela.
The political... Can you imagine that news anchor in sort of any other context?
Like, she's... I don't mean to be critical of her as a human being.
I can see she's married, she's got a husband, probably she's got a family and all those kind of things.
And I'm just saying, like, she's so obviously a news anchor that I can't imagine her being anything else at any other time.
But she must be, she must be like when you're a kid and you see a teacher in a grocery store and you say, wow, sir, I didn't know you existed out of this context.
But of course they do.
And so does she.
Turmoil unleashed after Nicolas Maduro claimed victory in the South American country's presidential election.
There are widespread accusations of fraud with the U.S.
and other countries casting doubt on the results.
CBS's Lilia Luciano is the only U.S.
network correspondent inside Venezuela.
You're out.
Thousands of demonstrators are taking to the streets across Venezuela tonight to protest what they say is an attempt by Nicolás Maduro to steal the country's election.
Venezuela's strongman Nicolás Maduro has claimed victory for a third term, despite exit polls showing challenger Edmundo González ahead by more than 30 points.
The international community has joined those calls for transparency, as they did in Maduro's last disputed election win in 2018.
There's a really good video of him, though, sort of going, We can't trust America!
America assassinate their own presidents!
They killed JFK!
They tried to kill Donald Trump the other day!
You know, it's funny, because now, because of the way that media works, we can see this dude, like, saying stuff, and also because of how media works, there's all of this availability of archive as well.
Now, Andy Blinken, he sort of told us He did sort of avail the diplomatic fret.
The world is watching, so you bastards better do another election or just put someone in charge that we like and give us that goddamn oil.
I don't like thinking of it down there bubbling away.
Dirty, stinking, sweet stuff down there inaccessible to our interests and our elected global leaders and partners.
Let's jump now, in fact, To the text story on Asset 42.
Thanks, Gal.
You'll like this.
This is sort of a bit more of a breakdown of the event.
Okay, so this is from, you lot will love this because it's from the World Socialist Worker, and what I'm fascinated to see now is that anti-establishment discourse from right across the spectrum is starting to line up very nicely because in the end it doesn't really matter what you believe if you believe in autonomy and the ability for individuals and communities to be run based on the will of an electorate, You're cool, aren't you?
Would you care how people are running their lives in Senegal or Reykjavik as long as you're left alone?
I mean, I don't... In a response clearly coordinated beforehand, US imperialism is instead using the elections in Venezuela to escalate its efforts for regime change.
Like happened in Ukraine in 2014, I guess.
Washington has repeatedly employed failed attempts to kidnap and kill the Venezuelan leadership, brutal sanctions to starve the population into submission, and threats of a military invasion.
All aimed at pressuring sections of the Venezuelan military and ruling circles to oust the United Socialist Party of Venezuela.
The key to understanding the political crisis in Venezuela, oh good this is good, is that neither the PSUV regime, US imperialism, nor its proxies give a second thought to the democratic will of the Venezuelan people or to resolving the humanitarian catastrophe.
All contenders in the election Represent factions of the capitalist class associated with foreign powers that are squabbling over access to the profits from exploiting Venezuelan workers and dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun!
The world's largest oil reserves.
Well, what a surprise it is to learn that that's happening.
The overall strategy of Washington was summed up in plain terms by Jeff Ramsey of the Atlantic Council.
Is that one of those names you're starting to recognise now?
The Atlantic Council?
One of those think tanks that probably gets some taxpayer money but also some corporate funding that have the ear of certain political and lobbying interests.
Like, many people will talk about Project 2025 and say, like, oh no, what are they going to try and do?
What kind of ethos are they going to try and instil in the event that there's a Republican government?
Well, groups like the Atlantic Council Business as usual, that's what they're always doing.
And while we're caught up in the sort of drama of American domestic politics, which is, let's face it, totally fascinating, the global stage is continuing to incrementally edge us towards war on numerous fronts.
So there it is, the Atlantic Council, a think tank with close ties to the US intelligence apparatus.
That's what that Atlantic Council is.
This isn't over, he wrote.
Maduro has to convince the ruling elite that he can keep things under control, but both he and the military No, that he can't govern a country in flames.
He's effectively inviting the biggest loyalty test he's faced in years.
I doubt Venezuelan elites are eager for six more years of repression, sanctions, and economic catastrophe.
I mean, it's not a good slogan, is it?
Repression, sanctions, economic catastrophe.
Well, I'm in!
The threat of international action beyond the sanctions, by the way, just check how many of the migrants coming across the border are from Venezuela.
I don't know, but the more that you disrupt Venezuela and participate in regime change, the more likely it is that the migrant crisis will increase.
So would you say that border security ought be matched in policy with non-interventionism by the CIA and Deep State and Not allowing nominally American but globalist companies to exploit the resources of countries like Venezuela or wherever the hell, Ukraine.
You can bet that prior to that war or this war there are a set of interests that are informed of advantages and likely fluctuations in currency values and all stuff that I don't claim to fully understand but I tell you who does, George Soros.
The threat of international action beyond the sanctions that have already devastated the Venezuelan economy poses a real threat that a new front of the expanding Third World War will erupt in Latin America.
For US NATO imperialism, Venezuela is already a key battlefield in its efforts to undermine, get ready for these names, Russia.
Yep, war with them.
China, going to have a war with them.
And Iran, war with them.
Coming soon to a cinema near you in the globalist, corporatist, cinematic universe with its A list of incredible Avengers.
Klaus Schwab, Antony Blinken introducing Kamala Harris as Storm.
All of whose governments maintain economic and political ties with Caracas.
So there you go.
That's what's happening in Venezuela.
in a way good that it's Latin America because I think we've all understood
from narratives that emerge out of the left that deep state or GERD regime
change is as common there as well. Oil. So it seems to me that war in Venezuela or
regime change in Venezuela or opportunities for economic exploitation
in Venezuela in some form or another will be happening over the next couple
of weeks but that's just what I think Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
And if you ain't had enough of this yet, we're going to stick around now with our awakened wonders like Negligent Banana or How I Love Ya to talk a little more about the news.
And on the show tomorrow, we got Neil Oliver.
I love Neil Oliver.
Do you love Neil Oliver?
We're talking about the sort of bewilderment And madness of our end times now.
The forever wars, the satanic ceremonies, the absolute insanity, the rise of nationalism as a response to globalism.
It's a brilliant conversation.
We'll be on at the usual time and you will love it.
Then we've got Adam Carolla coming on Friday.
We've got Brett Weinstein coming up soon.
I'm never confident I've said his name correct.
In fact, I'm never really confident I've said anyone's name correctly, it's just one of the things I have to live with.
Thanks so much for joining us today!
We will be streaming throughout the coming days, and I hope you will enjoy it, baby!
See you tomorrow, not for more of the same, but for more of the different.
