Time Text
You only do it when you trio with your teammates.
Put it on a map of the converge.
You can't see the map, but you can hear the sound of the birds.
You can hear the sound of the birds.
I'm sorry, dude.
So I'm looking for the seal, looking for the seal.
In this video, you're going to see the future.
Come on, Fred.
Hi.
We're getting the breaking news.
We've got a live stop there.
There you are, Awakening Wonders.
Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand.
And what an extraordinary day it is to be immersed in propaganda
as the simulacrum continues to roll, as the spectacle continues to fill our eyes
with glitter and glamour and glitz and madness as old heroes are resurrected,
as a merchant, a hot-headed youngster, a rookie.
From Arkansas, took to the stage at the DNC to dazzle Bill Clinton, enter into the Coldplay song Fix You, redolent with imagery of tears running down faces, and for some of us, other bodily fluids running down blue dresses.
We'll be talking about the DNC, we'll also be talking about The evidence that Christ may have been real.
Hey, I don't write this stuff.
And we'll also be talking about some more medical mismanagement.
If you're on Awake and Wonder in the locals community like StayFree420 or JimEarthC137, hello, nice to see you.
Yeah, have a propaganda or some propaganda.
Or I would also like to welcome you, like Kyle Rhino and Sean Keaton, my absolute favourites, are present there in the Rumble chat.
We'll be available on YouTube for the first 15 minutes, but then, in pursuit of freer speech, we will move exclusively to our home on Rumble.
Let's have a look at, again, I suppose we'll spend a minute looking at the messaging that's coming out of the DNC rebranding exercise.
They are rinsing away the spectre of Joe Biden.
To hear them talk about Michelle Obama's speech, you would think that it was somewhere between... Well, I don't mean... Words fail.
Are we talking Martin Luther King, I Have a Dream?
People are saying it's literally the best political speech.
Churchill, MLK, a little bit of Lady Diana mixed in there.
It's beyond iconic and certainly beyond ironic that people that have no political portfolio... Michelle Obama Isn't in the government nor will she be in the government in the event that you get a first Kamala Harris term.
What we have instead of substance is an endless cycling machine of naught but hyperbole and perhaps at the apex along with Barack Obama and I would contest Tony Blair we have the kind of Apotheosis of the politician as star.
A saxophone playing, and lord alone knows he used those lips for other things too.
proselytizing, twinkle-eyed and still young at 78, Bill Clinton.
Perhaps it's a phenomena of the surfeit of information that we all live within now
that it becomes impossible to determine a real and actual Bill Clinton.
Do you believe in the Bill Clinton that was a two-term president?
Do you believe in the Bill Clinton that paid off Paula Jones to the tune of, well certainly was more than Donald Trump has ever been accused of giving, Stormzy Daniels.
Do you believe in the Bill Clinton that had blue-collar appeal?
Or do you believe in the Bill Clinton that liked dear old Jeffrey Epstein's jet so much that he flew in it 26 times?
To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, to fly on someone's private jet to their sex island 25 Two days ago I turned 78.
be seen as an innocent error, but 26 times looks a little bit saucy. Let's have a little
look at Bill Clinton on the stage, still dropping bombs, still able to ejaculate pearly white
truths when required.
Two days ago I turned 78, the oldest man in my family for a generation.
And the only personal vanity I want to assert is I'm still younger than Donald Trump.
Last night.
I'm 78!
Well done!
You're really nice and old!
Well done!
And I'm also younger than Donald Trump!
Yeah!
Yeah!
He is old!
What do we believe in?
We believe in whatever you want us to believe in.
If you want us to believe that Kamala Harris is going to be a fantastic president, we'll believe it.
If you want us to believe that Michelle Obama is the greatest orator in history, we'll believe it.
If you want us to believe that this bizarre Spectacle has some connection to real meaning, to real values, to real principles.
When, as Chris Cuomo pointed out, the upper tiers cost half a million dollars for a seat.
If you believe that this has some meaning and value, when you can see Bernie Sanders come out and do his very best Larry David stroke Tony Clifton brilliant nails and Millionaires and zillionaires should be cast out of all and every party and then a tubby billionaire drumming his fingers on his rum-a-tum-tum-tum-tum saying that he's a better billionaire than Donald Trump.
And I'll tell you where else that guy may... He of course knows Bill Clinton from his time in the Democratic Party movement, but also there might have been certain island holidays where they ran into each other.
I have heard, baby.
So let's have a little look at some more of the propaganda here.
This is a lovely moment.
Now...
I know you lot can be pretty savage, but I still actually hold a lot of love for Oprah Winfrey.
I've got to tell you, but this is an interesting blunder right here.
We just try to do the best we can to save them.
and if the place happens to belong to a childless cat lady wait a minute I don't have a cat
That's not fair!
I've got kids!
This is, I suppose, part of the embrace of insults that's taking place across this convention,
throughout political spaces.
Own it. Own the cat lady thing.
Own the coconut out of a tree thing.
Own all of it.
All of it can be mined and midas-ed into something valuable in the total absence of a commitment to principles.
Remember what tiny quarries we quarrel in.
We're not talking about, hey, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
We have the mystery of consciousness that we all have access to and apparently limitless cosmos to explore.
Why?
We could investigate ourselves to our very depths, the mysteries and miracles of the conscious and unconscious mind through psychedelics.
We may yet create utopias here on Earth using this new technology.
We could create fully autonomous communities.
We could express our humanity in a myriad million different ways from absolute tradition to unimaginable progressivism and not trouble one another for true diversity was the way of humanity for many, many years when we lived tribally and independently, perhaps for a lot longer than we have ever yet dared to ponder.
Now...
Maybe that speech would have gone over well at the Democratic Party National Convention because they seem to be a pretty forgiving audience.
I could have a big, long, smart-sounding question here, but I'll just say Michelle Obama.
I think Michelle Obama's speech was probably the most effective, powerful political speech I've ever heard.
Best convention speeches I've ever seen by anybody in any circumstance.
She's probably the best non-political speaker in the country.
Probably the best speech I've ever seen.
There is no one who has a speech delivery like Michelle.
No one on the political, you know, in the political pantheon.
Boy, did Michelle bring it.
And she did it with her arms out.
That sleeveless outfit, you know.
That's what I liked, is that her arms were out.
You know?
Anybody can give a speech.
Did you notice that Malcolm X, in a lot of his speeches, he wasn't wearing a singlet, was he?
Or a vest.
He had sleeves.
Did you notice that Martin Luther King, now he was awful in a full suit, sometimes a three-piece suit.
Even Gandhi!
Now, Gandhi, we did sometimes his Here's an arms but you know to be fair he made his own clothes.
What an extraordinary standard!
I watched some of Michelle Obama's speech and it was good but surely at this point we must reach for more than oratory isn't precisely the problem that we face one of not of substance just gaseous emptiness abundant and abound while virtue and principle seem to have been lost May it yet be found?
Can we find it with one another?
Could we use these platforms to create real communities of tolerance and love and forgiveness and acceptance and demand freedom and set up new currencies and set up new institutions allowed to atrophy those corrupt old ideas?
You know it's possible if you demand freedom for the farmers, if you demand food freedom, if you demand freedom from big pharma, if you refuse to participate in their debt traps and their clap traps.
We may yet be free.
Let me tell you, I'm more optimistic than ever, in part because I've had some wonderful conversations with great contributors like Jay Bhattacharya, whose conversation will be up from Friday.
You will love it.
He gives you absolute inside intel on what went down in the pandemic period and the fact that this guy had to take the government to court, the very fact that the Supreme Court ...offered a verdict that the government will still be able to censor online information, and in his case it was information like, uh, natural immunity's a real thing, those vaccines might not be effective as is claimed, and they certainly haven't trialled them against transmission, some of these rules are arbitrary, like six foot apart, we don't know that lockdowns work very well, children may not be subject to Covid in the same severe way as elderly people, why don't we shield the elderly perfectly,
Reasonable claims made in the Great Barrington Declaration and yet he was made a pariah.
That conversation will be up on Locals from Friday.
Remember John Rich will be our guest on the show this Friday and tonight we will be watching along from the Citadel of Spectacle itself, the DNC, me and Neil Oliver.
We'll be right here, watching along with you.
Me, potentially smoking a cigar.
Him, potentially quaking and bulking.
Here's a quick message from one of our sponsors who will help you get well.
That's what they do.
Pay attention.
We are, as you know, living in perilous times.
You can't trust the establishment with news.
You can't trust the establishment with law.
You can't trust the establishment with health for another second.
I'm going to protect my family with a contagion emergency kit from the wellness company.
You can too.
This kit is your frontline defense against whatever they throw at us next.
That's some incendiary language.
It includes Ivermectin, HCQ, Z-Pak, Tamiflu, along with a nebulizer.
I can't live another day without a nebulizer!
Rest easy knowing you have emergency meds on hand with a guidebook for safe use.
You could make all sorts of mistakes down there in the lab.
It'll be like the Monster Mash.
Every family in America needs one of these kits.
It's like having urgent care in your own home.
Get your Contagion Emergency Kit now for as low as the cost of a single doctor's visit.
Be proactive, be prepared, take control of your health.
Don't wait for their next crisis.
Go to TWC.health forward slash brand and grab your Contagion Emergency Kit right now.
That's TWC.health forward slash brand and use the code brand actually and that will save you $30 I think at checkout.
Thank you.
Before we leap into the Important and significant fact that a significant number of Americans have totally disengaged from the Democratic Party and that those people are working people.
We'll get into that in a minute.
We'll also be doing a DNC fact check looking at just how many times plain untruths have been rendered.
By the way, like on this show, we're pretty good Russell Weers using the same strategies, hyperbolic statements inducing fear.
I'll tell you right now, Atheist 1971, do not be afraid.
Do not be afraid.
Fear not, for we are redeemed.
Fear not, because we will know the peace that surpasses all understanding.
Fear not, because there are still brilliant comedians in this world.
You'll have to look at my, uh, on Locals, my breakdown with, uh, my stand-up breakdown.
on Rowan Atkinson's Mr. Bean.
That's well good.
I've already done Prior.
I want to do Shane Gillis, actually.
I love him.
I think he's a fantastic modern comedian.
I've already done Chappelle.
This, uh, I ain't seen this yet.
This is Shane Gillis on Kill Tony.
I don't think it's the Trump thing, either.
I think it's something I've not seen yet.
Let me have a look at this.
Brian Oyola, welcome to the show, Brian.
Now, this is what's coming up through the border under this guy.
And this isn't just one of them.
He's a coyote.
There's about three or four in there.
A real piñata.
He's gonna break open and a family of five is gonna come running out.
He's a Mexican nesting doll and they've got a lot of them coming right up here.
I hope he's Mexican and not Indian.
I could be wrong.
That's EXTREMELY good.
That is EXTREMELY good.
The number of references that he had access to there... The piñata reference, the nesting dolls... What he's doing, right?
Like all brilliant comedians, he's in an immediate, ongoing dialogue with various editorialising selves.
So he's like, oh no, he might be... Is he Indian?
Not Mexican?
And he's also, relatively early in his comedy career, what a brilliant comedian.
Learned that the things that might be embarrassing and could be awkward could be an obstacle or an interruption of feel.
He's like, for example, isn't it extraordinary that he noticed, oh maybe he's not even Mexican.
This guy has really gone down this road that he's a Mexican.
He's a coyote.
Three or four of them in there.
And then he addresses that and makes further material out of the fact that he's not even sure what race he is, which is in a sense at the heart of the bit.
What a brilliant bloody comedian that guy is.
Okay, where are we going with this thing?
For some reason it being underlined really throws me on this.
Where are we?
Okay, excuse me for a second.
I'm just gonna play some.
But they are doing so in trying to put forward male figures, Tim Walz being one of them, Doug Emhoff last night, who can speak to men out there who might not be the sort of testosterone laden, you know, gun-toting kind of guy who wants to listen to Hulk Hogan and the kind of Players that came out at the RNC or might want to listen to that but also, in addition, understand that it's okay in 2024 to be a man comfortable in his own skin who supports a woman.
And that's something that they really are trying to work on with male voters beyond the base.
We are watching the DNC rebrand after the disaster of the late Biden first and only term.
We are watching as a party grapples with issues of perception, knowing that they can never undertake the true task of any government that was truly of the people, which is to take on global corporatism, To empower individual freedom.
To minimise government.
Accept where government is necessary or helpful.
Because none of those things can be done because they've been captured.
They're having to reorganise themselves.
To morph in real time into some kind of... Well, it's often said that politics is show business for ugly people.
And now, what is this type of politics?
Just a kind of show business that has inclusivity somehow at its core in the most superficial way, but is ultimately not interested in representing, I would say, a significant number of Americans, and indeed the very Americans that the Democrat Party was set up to represent, working people.
We'll be looking at that in a minute.
We're going to leave you on YouTube and we'll be talking about that story right away.
Remember, we'll be on tonight doing a watch along.
Me and Neil Oliver will be watching Kamala Harris's speech live.
We'll be on at 8.30 ET and I think that's 5.30 PT and God knows what time in the UK.
Join us then.
Does the Democrat Party have a testosterone problem?
Is it a party that no longer is interested in reaching out?
Not just to, like, I don't know, Joe Rogan or The Rock.
And by the way, Joe Rogan is the most significant and successful broadcaster in America right now.
So we're not talking about, like, Hell's angels and meatheads.
We're talking actually about working class people.
The Democrat Party has given up on the workers working class.
It no longer is interested in reaching people on the basis of economics or on the basis of jobs.
It seems to have an extraordinary new manifesto that is organised around amorphous ideas that are to do with personal identity and biology.
And I would say somewhere in the midst of it is a kind of deep loathing of human beings when oddly they claim to be all about joy.
Let's have a look at this.
Isn't it interesting bit of punditry here on this CNN panel where it's pointed out that Bill Clinton was once the kind of politician that reached blue-collar or working-class Americans.
It's accepted now that Donald Trump owns that demographic.
Why is that?
What does it tell you?
And more importantly, what does this weird rebrand tell us about who the DNC is for now?
Bill Clinton makes me think about my dad in western Kentucky.
When I was growing up out there, my dad and all the other guys like my dad, blue collar
guys, they loved Bill Clinton.
All Clinton guys.
And now, my dad and every single one of them that I know, all Donald Trump guys.
And when I see him come out here tonight and I think about the audience in this convention, I think the Democratic Party did once have a bunch of people who Bill Clinton would appeal to.
I think they're gone.
I think the people who the labor, the blue-collar labor piece of the Democratic Party that propelled Bill Clinton in the 90s has completely and totally migrated over to Donald Trump.
So I wonder about the younger audience and how they view somebody like Bill Clinton today because he's not a blue-collar hero to them.
They know a lot of other things about him that frankly make me wonder how in the world he still makes these kinds of stages to be honest.
Because what Bill Clinton represents now is, of course, the most people.
That guy went to Epstein Island a lot.
Didn't that guy have a pretty weird sex scandal while in office and pay someone off a significant amount of money, more than Stormzy Daniels got off Trump, which apparently is the world's biggest deal and is used to endlessly vilify him?
At the DNC, there are good billionaires and bad billionaires.
Trump is a bad billionaire.
That dude the other day, Jeff...
That guy, he's a fantastic billionaire.
He's the kind of billionaire that they advocate for.
With them, there's people that can have sex scandals like Trump, and that's a bad sex scandal.
Bill Clinton's a sex scandal, that's a good sex scandal.
It's because it has been absolutely voided of all meaning.
Other than the kind of peculiar idea, and this is Asset 36 guys, that they are somehow representative of a new class of person that's willing to form a political alliance on the basis of identity.
Now you'll know by now that this was a prank, but the fact that this video Got such massive attention and was able to dupe the BBC, who are the organisation that were conducting the interview, tells you something about what we think, collectively, the Democrat Party stands for now.
This happens to be a parody and a pastiche, but reality... But reality is now such a ridiculous parody and pastiche that all of us find it plausible.
Let's have a look.
Well, what brought you out here today?
Yeah, listen.
My name is Noah Shorst.
I use he, they pronouns.
Like, I'm just really excited that we have, like, the first black woman that could be the president of the United States.
And, you know, like, my wife, right?
We're in a polyamorous relationship.
The lover that my wife took is African-American.
And, like, I've learned so much about the struggle that people of color go through as a result of my wife's boyfriend.
And so I'm excited to really do my part to show solidarity for marginalized communities.
And, like, the best way to do that is To get the first woman of color to be the commander-in-chief, and I'm really excited.
I'm so pumped.
Were you this pumped and excited when Joe Biden was nominated?
I mean, listen, like, I would vote for a corpse over voting for Donald Trump because he's a disgusting fascist white supremacist pig.
But now, like, you know, we get to really make history.
We have.
Like I said, we have the first woman of color to be president of the United States.
Our country was founded on the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Nothing embodies those values more than a Kamala Harris presidency.
I'm pumped.
I'm ready.
I'm so excited.
I'm a proud white dude for Kamala Harris, baby!
Let's go!
Have you seen any excitement at a democratic event like in this stadium?
No, listen, this is amazing.
You know, like, you can't generate... I couldn't see...
Any more excitement?
Like, the only way there could be any more excitement is if, you know, maybe you have, like, an artist or a celebrity, um, performing or opening, um, for all of us.
No, this is amazing.
This is, like, celebrity level of excitement.
This is a rock star.
The thing that I'm the happiest about when it comes to Kamala Harris' presidency, it's the economy.
And, you know, I'm really excited about how she finally wants to put a cap on prices at the grocery store.
And, you know, like, look, even if price controls, you know, may lead to, like, shortages of food and basic goods, you know, The shortages will lead to rationing, and rationing, that leads to equity, and we need to be a more equitable place in America to dismantle our legacy of white supremacy.
So thank you so much for hearing my voice and so many voices like me.
Reality is beyond parody, that much is true, because when someone does a parody, it seems entirely plausible.
Perhaps that's because we have a DNC where people can say almost anything, where Bill Clinton can be presented as a hero, where Michelle Obama, we are told, is the best public speaker in history.
That's literally what they said on the legacy media.
I've never seen a better speech anywhere.
I think Rachel Maddow said that.
We're billionaires a good one minute and bad the next minute where Joe Biden can have his throat cut from behind by those that wanted him out of power and then be given a glorious glistening glittering send-off.
You know I'm an Englishman.
I've got no dog in the fight of US democracy or constitutional representative republicanism or whatever you want to call it.
What I'm interested in is propaganda.
What I'm interested in Is synthetic realities being rendered aggressively by propaganda machines?
And this is happening globally.
And globalism is the real enemy.
But that's just what I think.
Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
Particularly if you awaken wonders there.
Like Nookylade here and Jim Earthsea.
And Disco Duck too.
Over.
On Rumble.
Surely what we all need is some disruption, a little bit of chaos, a little bit of something unexpected.
It may already be the case that Bobby Kennedy has announced that he will drop out of the race and support Donald Trump.
How does this change the situation that we are now in?
What does this do to galvanise Trump supporters?
Will Kennedy supporters like it?
And is it possible that what we're experiencing now is not just a general election such as you have every four years in your country but a true clash of cultures.
On one side you have traditional media and emerging globalist interests and on the other side an odd alliance of traditional conservatives, libertarians, progressives and whatever constituency Bobby Kennedy is reaching.
Is it possible that independent candidacy and new alliances is the thing that's going to disrupt globalism in a way that forms of nationalism and America first or France first or Britain first politics ever could?
Is this the seismic event We've been waiting for.
Let's have a look at it.
This is Donald Trump responding to the news that Bobby Kennedy may yet drop out of the presidential race.
His running mate said that they're considering endorsing you.
Have you considered him for a role in the administration and what role would that be?
Well we haven't but I would love that endorsement because I've always liked him.
Would you also consider putting him in the administration?
You're asking me a very unusual question.
I haven't been asked that question yet.
I like him a lot.
I respect him a lot.
I probably would if something like that would happen.
It's basically a yes, and by now, by the time you're watching this, it may already be a fact that Bobby Kennedy has backed Trump.
That would be the perfect time to do it.
To wait for the DNC to kind of reach its apocalyptic pyrotechnic climax.
And then, to sort of announce, now you're not facing the same candidates.
Remember, you know, I'm invested in radical change, decentralisation, real empowerment of the individual and communities, maximum amount of democracy and maximum power in the community, anything we can do to oppose the forces that seem to have captured not only your country but mine and, wow, maybe even the world beyond that.
I find it interesting and exciting that new political alliances could emerge because I think this is where change will come from.
It's not going to come from the reiteration and repetition of what we've already got.
Here's Elon Musk saying that he too is ready to serve in a Trump administration.
Elon Musk now says he's ready to join a second Trump administration.
Musk proposed a committee to cut government spending during his sit-down conversation with Trump on X.
I think we need, like, a government efficiency commission to say, like, hey, where are we spending money that's sensible, where is it not sensible, and just ensures that the taxpayer money, the taxpayers' hard-earned money, is spent in a good way.
And I'd be happy to help out on such a commission.
I'd love it.
Well, Musk took it another step further yesterday, posting this humorous picture with the caption, I am willing to serve.
Well, this humorous picture that I observed.
I have been so beautiful for most of my life that I actually do not move when communicating.
My beauty is in itself magnetic enough to warrant nothing more than a kind of nasal intoning.
I'm talking about this story here and its humorous conclusions.
Chris Cuomo has occupied, I might even say his name, Chris Cuomo, Cuomo, Chris Cuomo, Chris Cuomo.
He's occupied some interesting spaces in our culture, hasn't he?
He's been on various sides of the legacy media, independent media divide.
He has been part of the Ivan Mektin is bad crew and then came out boldly to state that he himself takes either Mectin.
Perhaps what we have to look for is opportunities for alliance, affinity, affiliation,
so that we can move forward and oppose the centralized operation
that seems set on four more years at least of power.
Let's have a look at Chris Cuomo talking about independent candidacy.
The big question, do you want to know the state of the presidential race?
Of course you do, but there's so much hype on the partisan platforms.
Polls?
We all know now that there's just snapshots, right?
Just snapshots.
You got dueling rallies, reporting about residents online.
And that, as you know by now, is mostly magical thinking, right?
That's why headlines and screens are about vibes and how each side feels.
Kamala joyful or adjusting.
Trump unsettled.
Now, there are two reasons for this.
One is a serious one.
We have no policy ideas to digest, to work on.
Harris hasn't put them up or defended yet.
That may start changing tomorrow.
At least she'll have to start defending what Biden has done.
And Trump just says, the other side has horrible policies, I have great ones.
Both sides are all about how the other is a worse person and a more frightening proposition is a danger.
And look, let's be frank.
It works.
But I'm going to offer you something different, because I actually did want to know the state of the race.
Rallies and reflections of the moment don't show momentum.
Registrations do.
Who is registering to vote, where, and for whom?
Here's the real data from July.
Show them, my friend.
And we see some obvious things, okay?
We see red outpacing blue, all right?
I'll take you through this as kind of a panorama, and then I'll show you the totals, all right?
But you'll see red outpacing blue, okay?
Swing states.
I have a graphic for you, right?
Pulling out just the swing states in July.
Troubling picture.
This was even more alarming in July for the House seats, which is why Democrats pushed Biden to exit.
Let me know in the comments and chat whether you consider that to be a kind of progress, independent movements and a search towards voters and civilian citizens, human souls, divine spirits, that have more interest now in independent candidacy, that are tired of the old oligarchy, have noticed that liberal democracies tend towards a type of corporatist globalist oligarchy, And that we have new models now, both communicative and in terms of new currencies that can oppose these systems by simply establishing our own.
It looks like independent politics, independent media and cryptocurrencies could form the basis of a new political movement and I'm interested to learn a great deal more about it.
By the time you're watching this, Bobby Kennedy may already have backed Trump and the fizzling display of pyrotechnics at the DNC may already be fading away.
Politics moves so fast these days.
It's going to be an interesting march towards November.
Something has to be done to avert globalism and globalist candidates.
We have one in Macron in France.
We have one in Starmer in the UK.
Trudeau is one in Canada.
And Kamala Harris in the USA I believe would be a globalist candidate and more of the same.
Maybe new political movements may yet emerge and if they do and they oppose this globalist trend that will be a victory for the majority of people.
But that's just what I think!
Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
Certainly there's been a lot of things have been said at the DNC that are patently untrue.
Let's do a little bit of fact checkery all of our own.
For example, one of the things that I see most proud of is the creation of jobs.
But have they really created nearly a million jobs?
It's already been debunked right out of that glistening arena in which they seem so pious and pleased.
U.S.
Labor Department goofed.
Bottom line.
Off by nearly a million in their most recent report when they revealed just how many jobs were created.
It's an abrupt about-face for the U.S.
labor market.
Newly revised numbers from the Labor Department were stunning, showing 818,000 fewer jobs were created over 12 months, leading up to March 2024 than previously reported.
Data revisions are common, but not to this degree.
This correction is the Labor Department's largest downward adjustment since 2009.
But it's not all bad news.
Many economists were expecting a sizable revision, possibly up to a million jobs less.
See, it's actually good news.
You know, in our country, they adjusted the way that they calculate excess deaths because the number of excess deaths in the post-pandemic period, not during the pandemic, post-pandemic period, was eerily and troublingly high.
So instead of investigating what might have been causing excess deaths, they simply changed maths itself.
It's true.
They went in there and said, we're going to calculate excess deaths differently now.
And when you say differently, do you mean that you're going to come up with a lower number of excess deaths?
Yeah, that's what we're going to do.
And the same is true with jobs and potentially all information.
There is, apparently, in our modern world with this surfeit of information, no objective truth.
Simply a series of narratives that can be utilised to facilitate power.
A billionaire is good, a billionaire is bad.
Paying off hush money to someone who's made a claim is bad.
Paying off a hush money to someone who's made a sexual claim is no problem at all.
It just depends what you believe in.
We created a million jobs, there are not a million jobs.
Joe Biden appears to be likely guilty of having used his position to facilitate financial opportunity for members of his family, while Vice President, that don't matter.
It all just runs in a broth and froth of frivolous madness through the news cycle, and power continues its march just the same.
Trump posted, of course, about that job statistic information.
Here he is saying that it's sort of not true and then going on to say that our life savings will be wiped out.
But my favourite thing is this Gina Raimondo, Secretary of Commerce by the way.
She doesn't believe that what Trump posted is true but it's funny because it comes from like the Bureau of Labour or some somewhat independent source.
Look at this, this is brilliant because bearing in mind that this woman is the Secretary of Commerce.
Listen to her response.
When you hear that, do you potentially think that this new numbers could be a liability for this campaign?
No, when I hear that, first of all, I don't believe it because I've never heard Donald Trump say anything truthful.
It is, though, from the Bureau of Labor.
I don't, I'm not familiar with that.
I'm the Secretary of Commerce.
I don't care about bureaus of labor.
We don't care about poor people or working people anymore at the DNC.
We've made that clear.
There's a testosterone problem.
People with testosterone in their bodies can just F the hell off, and so can the Bureau of Labor.
Do you notice how the template remains the same?
When asked a question about some data, she pivots to a personal attack on Donald Trump.
I don't believe in anything that Donald Trump says.
Oh, alright then.
What about when yesterday he said he liked Michelle Obama and thought that Barack Obama was a good man but had made mistakes in government?
Don't believe that either.
This is what happens when you don't focus on the information or the matter at hand but just focus on vilifying and smearing any opponent of your regime.
And I'll reiterate my own position once more if you're interested.
I don't think that you can solve the problems that the world faces right now without radical review of the institution systems and some of the peculiar crimes against our entire kind that have taken place in the last century.
If you just want me at least free off the top of my head, I'd say look into the assassination of JFK and be transparent about the results.
Look into what happened during 9-11, be transparent about the results.
Look into what happened during the pandemic period and the couple of years before it and be transparent about the results.
From that, you will be able to deduce what the problems are and how unlikely those problems are... and how unlikely it is that those problems will be solved by organizing people in a different configuration within the same constellation of corruption that created those problems.
But that's just what I think.
Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat, for surely that is where such things will be resolved.
Those are some facts, fact-checked for you right there.
Now then, there's some stuff in here that I'm pretty interested in showing you, as a matter of fact.
You know me, I've become a Christian.
You know I've recently become a Christian.
That don't mean you have to become a Christian!
I mean, it's working for me pretty well, I feel an incredible relief.
In this nihilistic time, bereft of all meaning, filled with corruption and loss, with no virtue except for that which is signalled, with no principles except for those that can be utilised, the idea that the creator of the simulation stepped inside the simulation himself to show us how we might live, to redeem us, to offer himself in sacrifice, to me seems incredible.
But where is the historical, empirical, Scientific evidence for it.
Well, it seems that the Shroud of Turin, at least, may be legitimate.
Now, religion is always going to be, to some degree, a matter of faith.
The idea that there is a God, that there is a creator.
Things that will be difficult to empirically demonstrate in the same way that it's difficult to empirically demonstrate that there was nothing at all preceding the Big Bang or that primordial atomic morasses somehow became conscious eventually as a result of heat or light or whatever other agent must have induced biology from mere inner matter.
Sooner or later, faith will be required for all of us.
And perhaps a faith that encourages us to believe in kindness, and service, and love, and sacrifice, and in a living God that is among us and that wants to raise us out from the hell of modern life might be more valuable to us than whatever you're being offered.
On your corrupt propaganda, devil's lantern, hellhole machines, whether they are handheld screens or old-fashioned TV.
Let's have a look at this story that the Shroud of Turin may have been legitimized through forensic evidence.
A groundbreaking discovery has just been made in regards to the Shroud of Turin.
A controversial linen shroud, regarded by millions to be the one Jesus was buried in, has baffled the world for centuries.
The shroud bears a faint image of the front and back of a bearded man, which many believe is Jesus' body miraculously imprinted onto the fabric.
But research in the 1980s appeared to debunk the idea it was real after dating it to the Middle Ages, hundreds of years after Christ's death.
Now, Italian researchers who used a new technique involving x-rays to date the material have confirmed it was manufactured around the time of Jesus, about 2,000 years ago.
The shroud has been preserved since 1578 in the Royal Chapel of the Cathedral of San Giovanni Battista in Turin, Italy.
Fetish, iconography, and idolatry are fascinating areas in themselves.
Even if you can carbon date that artifact back to Nazareth, 0 AD, then it still doesn't, of course, prove that it's literally Jesus Christ.
Neither does it prove that Jesus Christ was the Son of God.
In fact, those things by their nature are difficult to demonstrate, but since becoming Christian, I've read a great deal more that leads me to believe personally that Christ was a historical figure and also is the living, risen Son of God.
Now that's not something that I can produce forensic results for, but some of the results that I can offer you Are these.
That I no longer feel that I live in a disgusting, meaningless, hollow, empty world controlled by dark forces that see me only as a consumer.
That I live in a nihilistic and meaningless universe that only sees me as valuable if I am a commodity.
That sees meaning and reason and virtue all as commodities that can be shifted and moved around according to the convenience of the powerful.
It has reconnected me to the idea of sanctity and the sacred, and I'm fascinated, of course, by figures like Richard Dawkins, who I hope to be debating soon on these very matters.
It's interesting to see them say that they are culturally Christian, or even as great a mind as Elon Musk, saying that Christian culture is powerful.
Indeed, in the Bible it says, "...by their fruits shall we know them."
If what something produces is beautiful, then we know that that thing is beautiful.
And many brilliant Christian theists and scholars are able to demonstrate, for example, that if you believe in women's rights or the various rights of human beings, let's just take human rights as a broad concept, you at some point have to acknowledge that there is something either Sacred or special about human beings?
You have to acknowledge that.
You have to acknowledge that there is some reason why we should treat each other with love and respect.
And I'll go a little further.
You know, you might say, I treat people with love and respect because it feels like the right thing to do.
It feels like the right thing to do.
Well, on that basis, if people feel like it's not the right thing to do, If they feel like it's the right thing to do to centralise power, to globalise power, to say that there's no such thing as God and there's no such thing as nature, and the apex of all being and existence is the human mind, and if we want to reorganise our lives and reorganise our bodies and reorganise our systems according to the rational will of the most powerful people, there is no higher idea that prevents us from doing that.
We are not creatures created by some omnipotent, omniscient force.
No, we are ourselves the vanguard of all being, and it is through reason that we will reorder our lives and the universe.
Indeed, it's been stated by no lesser mind than Nietzsche that if man worships nothing, they'll ultimately end up worshiping Worshipping everything.
He says, you know, God is dead and nothing we do can wash the blood off our hands and that we'll create deities of rational and material things.
That was his perspective on this.
And my perspective is this one.
Whilst you may never be able to scientifically prove the existence of Jesus Christ, there are other metrics and measures via which we receive information.
Deep within yourself there is a great power, and you will note how often the culture you live in induces bewilderment and confusion.
It is by its nature somewhat diabolical.
Sometimes you look at the world and you wonder why it is this way, and these questions seem to you, don't they, unanswerable.
Well, perhaps that's because the world has been captured by a force of darkness.
Perhaps that's because they benefit from us being confused and bewildered, and that annihilation is the process of creating nihilism, meaninglessness.
And if there is no meaning, why not have an Olympic ceremony that's about desecration?
And if there is no meaning, why not allow people to spill on the streets and treat the planet itself like it's a toilet?
Why not?
Nothing means anything.
There is no beauty.
There is no true virtue.
There are no real principles.
Well, the scientific existence of Jesus Christ would be a step towards that, but the faith-based belief in Jesus Christ is the arrival at that destination, and that's something, at least, that I can testify to, honestly, for I have experienced it.
But, as I say, that's just what I think.

Remember Project 2025, that book that Donald Trump wrote?
I thought it was the art of the deal.
What?
No, no, no, it was that book, Project 2025.
A think tank, a think tank much like the Atlantic Council, which are one of the groups that
continually tell you that the only way to peace is war, the only way to free speech
is to control speech.
You know, 2025 may be a Christian-funded think tank emergent from the Heritage Trust, or
It may be that.
It may have a lot of ideas in it derived from Christianity.
But the idea that it is a part of a manifesto of Donald Trump is yet to be proven.
Certainly he's not participated in its creation.
But I suppose facts are malleable these days at a convention where one minute billionaires are bad and the next minute billionaires are good and one minute Joe Biden's inept and has to be dispatched and the next minute he's being given a send-off like a poor old soppy old dog.
Let's have a look at the claims that are being made and fact-check them when it comes to Project 2025.
I think they're both important false claims because both were on a central subject of Democrats' attacks, and that is Project 2025, a conservative think tank's proposals for a next Republican administration.
Listen to this claim from Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester of Delaware about Project 2025 and former President Trump.
He has, with his friends, said the quiet parts out loud.
But not only said them out loud, he wrote a book about it.
What's it called?
Project 2025.
That is false.
Trump did not write Project 2025.
The project's big policy document, published by the Heritage Foundation think tank, lists dozens of people as authors, editors, contributors.
Donald Trump is not among them.
A Project 2025 spokesman told me tonight no candidate was involved with the drafting of the document.
Now, it is fair to say Trump has extensive ties to Project 2025, and CNN has reported that more than half of those authors, editors, and contributors worked at some point in his administration.
But that's different than saying Trump actually wrote it.
Now let's also play something that Colorado's governor, Jared Polis, said about what's in that Project 2025 document.
Page 451 says the only legitimate family is a married mother and father where only the father works.
That is also false.
Project 2025 does not say there is only one kind of legitimate family, let alone say that families in which a mother works outside the home is illegitimate.
A Heritage Foundation spokeswoman, who's a working mom herself, told me tonight the governor's claim is a lie.
Now, if you read the page the governor mentioned, you'll see it does express a preference for a certain kind of family.
It says, quote, families comprised of a married mother, father, and their children are the foundation of a healthy society.
It then goes on to criticize Biden policies that supposedly subsidize single motherhood and focus on LGBT equity.
You can obviously debate all of that, but nowhere does Project 2025 say a family is not legitimate if the mom has a job.
Jake?
So whether it's 2025 or the number of jobs generated under the Biden-Harris administration, it seems there are a lot of facts that require checking.
Have you considered becoming an awakened wonder?
On the show tomorrow, we've got Jay Bhattacharya.
You're going to love it, Miss Molly.
You're going to love it, John from Earth.
It is a brilliant conversation that we had, me and Jay Bhattacharya.
This guy has got true ethics and true principles.
A week before, we gave you early access to our conversation With John Rich.
Man, that guy is pretty serious in the Christianity.
I had a wonderful conversation with him about his confrontation with Jordan Peterson.
I'd love to show you a clip of that bit of the show.
Remember, clips from locals.
That'd be amazing to show those sometimes.
Okay, now though, what I want to talk to you about is this.
Do you ever wonder if people are able to garner enormous profits from people being sick that might lead people to, I don't know, perpetuate sickness.
When you have a pharmaceutical industry that requires that your health is poor, do you think that they might possibly engender and facilitate circumstances of illness and distress and disease?
Is it possible that what we learned in the pandemic period about the practice and malpractice of pharmaceutical companies and the I'm afraid to tell you that it is.
This is a fantastic conversation between Callie Means and Casey Means.
Callie has been a guest on our show a number of times and we're looking forward to hosting Casey on the show.
They were speaking to Tucker Carlson about the impact of pesticides on food and the Long understood possibility that they are carcinogenic.
And now, at this point, with people getting cancer at extraordinary rates, perhaps we should revisit the food we eat, the drugs that we take, and who profits from them.
Episode in every condition she had are on this metabolic disease spectrum.
So you believe, so, pancreatic cancer specifically, if my memory serves, and I think it does, was kind of an unusual, it was always famously dangerous, deadly... Skyrocketing.
I have noticed, like, all of a sudden, people you know... What are the risk factors?
Obesity, diabetes, smoking.
It is fundamentally a lifestyle disease.
Pancreatic.
Why it is going up.
So is breast cancer.
Breast cancer.
I mean, breast cancer is now one in eight women.
You know, this is an estrogen, often an estrogen... It's a foodborne illness.
Estrogen during cancer?
Well, where are all these extra estrogens coming from?
Oh, huh.
Maybe it's the six billion pounds of pesticides that are being invisibly sprayed on all of our food and poisoning it.
And what are these pesticides doing?
They're estrogen receptor agonists.
Interesting.
Being sold to us from China and from Germany.
Which they're not using in their food there.
So what does that mean?
I'm sorry, I just want to make sure the science is clear because I don't really understand it.
It's the effects of these chemicals on food is what?
So, ostensibly, these chemicals are being used, 6 billion pounds globally per year, because of pest control.
They're also being used on our children's parks and golf courses and all over the place.
They're invisible, they're tasteless, and they are directly toxic to our cellular biology.
So, they're pesticides.
Cide is the word for the act of killing, so herbicides, insecticides, fungicides.
And they are so toxic that 20% of all suicides globally are performed by drinking pesticides.
And yet we're told by our government that they're totally safe.
This one will shock you.
The largest merger ever done in Germany was Bayer Monsanto, which is a pharmaceutical company merged with Monsanto, which is an agrochemical company in the United States.
If you look at what Bayer makes, they make cancer drugs for things like non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
And if you look at what Monsanto makes, which is Roundup, which is the most widely used pesticide in America, the cancer that it causes is non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
They've paid out $11 billion in the past couple of years for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cases.
So the companies are merging that are directly known to cause the disease with a medical company that has a treatment for the disease.
Like, this is very, very dark.
And so, like Callie said, you know, it's kind of this revolving door between create the illness, treat the illness, and hide the science that tells us what's happening.
Thankfully, in the characters of Callie and Casey Means, we have individuals that are willing to speak out.
And in the case of Callie, a former Big Food insider who has spoken out incredibly explicitly and bravely about The dangers of the pharmaceutical industry, the big food industry, now of course aspects of the agricultural industry and how they impact our food and our health in ways that's difficult to conceive of unless you sort of study it, kind of let that information wash over you like a wave of toxic pesticides and it's difficult to believe that the
Food that we eat is likely significantly contributing to illness, even illnesses as significant as cancer.
While you're watching people grandstand about feminism and loving women, they're also taking donations from companies that pollute and intoxicate the food of women, that create diseases that exclusively affect women.
A real and sensible political movement would have a holistic ...approach to such matters.
We're very fortunate to have people like Kali and his sister there, who are willing to be outspoken, boldly so, on such important issues.
And remember, I had a conversation with Jay Bhattacharya, where he talked about the pharmaceutical industry and how, if you speak out against the pharmaceutical industry and its projects, you will definitely face censure.
It was a fascinating conversation.
Jay Bhattacharya and Callie and Casey Means are just a few of the heroes that are willing to stand up and oppose the kind of interests that are ultimately going to have to be taken into account and brought down if we are going to change the world together and create reliable systems.
And lord alone knows it's possible now.
That's the one thing they don't want you to realize.
But that's just what I think.
Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
If you want early access to stuff that we do like this, uh, is this?
Thanks, guys.
Uh, if you want access to our content, then please, have a, uh, please consider becoming an AwakendWonder.
Well, me and Neil Oliver did a little stream earlier on today, and later on tonight, me and Neil on Rumble, exclusively on Rumble, will be streaming a watch-along with Kamala Harris.
You'll let us know how much you want us to talk, you'll let us know what you want us to say, you will join us in the comments.
It's going to be pretty late at night for us, so be forgiving.
Tomorrow on the show, we have our conversation with John Rich, and already Not already, actually.
From tomorrow, the conversation with Jay Bhattacharya will be up, as well as my stand-up breakdowns, where I look at comedians like Richard Pryor, or Rowan Atkinson, or Bill Hicks, or Dave Chappelle, and coming soon, Shane Gillis, and talk about why I think they are so fantastic from a comedic perspective.
Here's a little look at the conversation with John Rich, which is up now on Locals and will be streamed tomorrow here on Rumble.
We've gotten into that that were unsubstantiated and millions upon millions of human beings were killed in those wars.
And we were lied to by politicians who claim to be Christians and claim to be work, you know, doing the work of God.
Yet they drag us into these wars and get millions of people killed.
And then you could keep going through a lot of these things that we've seen taking place in our country, in America.
And I have to think at some point, he is not going to put up with that forever.
He's just not.
Oh, John Rich, you don't mind saying it how it is.
You can have a look at that conversation now on Locals.
But we will be back in a few hours with our Kamala Harris watch along, me and Neil Oliver in this very room in the dead of night.
Lord alone knows what will happen.
Thanks very much for joining us today.
Thanks to AwakendWonders like Jim Earthsey, Beth in Wonderland, Jack Swiss, I love all of you.
Thank you for your support.
Let me know what you think of the content.
You lot, Roxanne, Loco Jazz Hands, Emilio V, I love all of you.
Join us for our watch-along, excuse me, a little later.
We'll be back tomorrow, not with more of the same, but with John Rich, and of course, all of the best bits of Kamala Harris's speech.
What are we going to be subjected to?
We'll be watching it live.
You can join us for that here on Rumble.
In the meantime, if you can, stay free.
Switch on.
