Hello you Awakening Wonders there on Spotify, Apple, Stink Whistle, Gurgle Dot, or wherever you download your podcasts these days to remain at least peripherally connected to some tendril of truth in a bewildering miasma of lies and propaganda.
We appreciate you, and we love you.
You're part of our community.
So that's why we're very happy to give you an audio version of our live Rumble Show five days a week.
It's on Monday to Friday.
We decipher the latest news stories, we break down current topics that the mainstream media should be covering, and if they aren't,
Then we critique why they're not and what they are covering.
Every week as well, right?
We do brilliant conversations with people like Jordan Peterson, RFK, Tucker Carlson, Sam Harris, Vandana Shiva, Gabor Mate.
These things are already up and you can listen to them now.
So remember this is an audio version of our daily live show.
To tune in live, go over
Thank you.
Hello there you Awakening Wonders.
Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand.
A particular welcome to all of you from the Bongino Army like Beth Antwelve and Loris Mann.
You are most welcome here.
Thanks for joining us for our live stream in which we'll be discussing Kamala Harris's, was it a platitude by numbers interview
Was it a softball interview?
Was it functional enough to keep her out of the spotlight until November?
You will decide, surely, people of America, people of the world.
Hello there to Mr. Galway, who I met in person yesterday.
I'm talking to her awake and wonders.
There in the locals chat, because yesterday we did a live show, and all of our Awaken Wonder members can turn up and see us simply by, well, we'll put tickets of Russell Brand in the chat there, and you can come and see me live, including, and I'm pretty proud to announce this, we have secured from Tucker Carlson's team a handful of tickets for the live event in Phoenix next week, where I'll be his first guest as he does a tour in the month of September.
So if you want a chance to win those tickets, can you turn the volume up?
A few people are asking for volume up.
We've got that in the gallery, guys.
Thank you.
If you want to win those tickets, become an Awakened wonder, and we'll give you the chance to win them over the course of the show.
Probably have to come up with a question or something like that.
Maybe we'll just be the first five people to apply to them, but I'll give you a moment to get on over there.
Let's have a look at what we're up to today, you lot.
It's, I mean, it's easy.
To forget, isn't it, the name of complex things like, I don't know, the Supreme Court?
What is that thing that the US government used to derail their political opponents?
He even called for termination of the United States Supreme, the supreme land of our nation, the United States Constitution.
That's right, the old supreme land of the United States of America, I think it's called.
My dog's just off camera, giving me ag.
One sec.
Good lad!
Settle down.
I feel a lot more optimistic about November since Bobby Kennedy joined the Trump campaign.
I don't know about you.
It seems that there's gonna be more people.
Did you hear there could even be a pathway for Bernie Sanders?
I mean, um, can you turn that off?
I'm still getting comments for, um, turn up the volume in the rumble chat, so I don't know, maybe just turn it up significantly if you don't mind, guys.
Is that alright?
Thank you.
Um, so,
Like, is that possible and plausible?
A lot of people don't want the sunglasses on as well.
I mean, that's gone in an instant.
Look at that, immediately amended.
Is it possible that a politician so associated with the left could become a MAGA candidate?
That's pretty astonishing to contemplate.
Who would have imagined that Bobby Kennedy would be making a video like this?
Are you or your loved ones suffering from illnesses such as TDS, also known as Trump Derangement Syndrome?
Do you dismiss or deny the current issues facing our country, such as historic inflation, illegal immigration, corporate corruption, World War III escalations, and the chronic disease epidemic?
Are you willing to elect someone who was the least popular vice president in modern history, and who offers no policy or vision for America, simply because your brain keeps telling you anyone but Trump?
If so, you might be struggling from TDS.
Introducing independence.
Independence allows you the freedom to finally think independently once again.
Instead of believing everything you hear from the mainstream media, independence allows for constructive critical thinking.
I used to hear people on the news say things like Donald Trump and the movement he has encouraged are a threat to democracy.
And I instantly believed it.
With independence, I now realize the media is run by the Democrat elite, who are a corrupt oligarchy that censors free speech, silences political opponents, supports forever wars, and abandons democracy by anointing its candidates.
Independence may not be for everyone.
If you enjoy being lied to about your president's cognitive abilities, support Orwellian totalitarianism, or are excited about communist fiscal policy, independence may not be right for you.
Common side effects of independence may include an awakening of rational thought, successfully identifying propaganda, freedom of choice, loss of hatred, anti-narcissistic behavior, and love of democracy.
I used to blindly hate whoever my party was running against.
I didn't care about facts or policy because I was hopelessly indoctrinated.
With independence, I'm much more interested in policies that uphold democracy, and I truly care about the health of our country and its citizens.
Ask your doctor if independence is right for you, and enjoy your freedoms once again.
Yeah, what's wrong with that?
I think that's pretty good.
I've put the sunglasses back on because some people said that I ought to.
This is the kind of placatory attitude that's got us into this mess in the first place.
What we need are static facts upon which we can rely in a chaotic and ever
Moving world.
What we need is some virtues and principles that we can feel and resource from within ourselves that are abiding and ever-present.
Yes, the glory of nature suggests a creator, but more than that, the presence of a still, quiet voice within us that tells us when we're being duped and tricked and lied to.
You probably saw this on X posted by Endwokeness.
They post a lot of good things, whoever that is, you know?
Look at these Time articles prior and post RFK backing Trump.
There's why ultra-processed foods are so bad for you, which I think we generally accept.
Passes the kind of blink test, doesn't it?
The idea that ultra-processed foods are going to have a negative impact.
And look at this new Time article.
What if ultra-processed foods aren't as bad as you think?
Maybe you should carry on eating them.
In my conversation with Jay Bhattacharya,
The Stanford scientist and outspoken critic of your government's policy in particular during the pandemic period, he, as a scientist who at Stanford would receive funding, agreed that only the clinical trials that are profitable are taking place.
You can imagine, can't you, the jubilee that must accompany the augmenting and minting of a new vaccine program, for then you are dealing with populations not having to sell your medication to individuals, but
That's why you need to take back control of your health.
Here's a message from one of our partners, an organization headed up by the brilliant and virtuous Peter McCulloch.
Have a look.
America, listen up.
The world is getting more and more unpredictable.
Assassination attempts, rumors of civil war, unstable stock markets, and now the looming threat of bird flu.
Do you know there's a bird flu summit this October?
The first topic on the agenda is mass fatality management planning.
Doesn't that send chills down your spine?
The good news is this, you don't have to be scared if you're prepared.
The Wellness Company created the Medical Emergency Kit.
It's packed with life-saving medications like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine.
Antibiotics like Amoxicillin and Z-Pak.
And it's all backed by experts like Dr. Peter McCulloch.
The kind of doctor we all need.
The kind of doctor that fought for truth during COVID.
This is his product.
A few clicks and this kit is delivered directly to your door.
Your medical emergency kit isn't a luxury.
It's a necessity.

We'll be talking to Tony Robbins in a minute about his new film City of Dreams that he's exec produced.
It's a Sound of Freedom style rallying cry to end child trafficking.
You'd think that you wouldn't need to make propaganda to end child trafficking, but a lot of people seem to like having children trafficked.
Not only, of course, for Labour, Sweatshop Labour, terrible enough, but for the most insidious reasons imaginable, we'll be having a look at a trailer from that film, which is out now, as well as chatting with the director and our man, Tony Robbins, who I love.
Russell was great with that.
It gives a melancholy vibe.
We're still getting so much conflicting information about the glasses.
I just don't know what to believe.
I need to rely on the views of a brilliant comedian, Theo Vaughan, and a great
Personal development leader, Tony Robbins.
Tony will be on the show a bit later.
Here's the moment where Theo von and Tony Robbins get a bit mixed up between Tony Fauci and who's that other guy?
Who's that guy from the 1940s, little troublemaker guy, Adolf Hitler?
How could you even make a mistake like that?
It's like, there's an old phrase that says, tell a lie big enough, tell a lie big enough, loud enough and long enough, sooner or later people believe it.
You know who said that?
Hitler.
Oh, I thought you were going to say Fauci.
Well, same difference.
We're aligned on that one, brother.
I enjoyed that day.
I had a nice time doing that.
I hurt myself.
I hurt myself.
That's what's happened to my head.
I was doing BJJ and I got a bit beat up and stuff.
That's the way that it goes.
Some people are asking whether or not I'm endorsing anybody.
You must know by now that I believe in Bobby Kennedy.
You must know by now that I believe the establishment needs radical disruption.
You must know by now that the greater threat to democracy are not megalomaniac
They're probably wrecking ball, flying the ointment obstacles to the ascension of the authoritarian, tyrannical globalism that we must oppose, that we have a duty to oppose, that we must galvanize against.
We should bring together communities of progressives, traditionalists, leftists,
We're good to go.
We're being lied to, and they call it news.
If you're watching us on YouTube, we'll be there for another couple of minutes, but then we'll be available exclusively on the sweet stream of freedom that we call Rumble, that protects our right to stream to you freely and unedited.
When you watch, as I occasionally do, Inside... Is it Inside with Jen Psaki?
I know it's got a sort of an oddly evocative... The glasses are going back on.
I mean, it's causing a lot of trouble over there.
When you watch Inside or Within Jen Psaki, it's got some sort of vaguely evocative title, you will see how propaganda works and how people can move from White House Press Office to MSNBC or CNN, pundit, almost effortlessly.
Indeed, we'll be watching and picking apart, with great scrutiny, the Kamala Harris, Tim Waltz, CNN propaganda gambit after we leave you guys on YouTube.
But first, let's have a look at
One of the great harbingers of state propaganda, Jen Psaki, talking to Don Lemon, cast out to the periphery, Don Lemon, cast out to the periphery, telling Jen Psaki that not all black people loathe Donald Trump.
Let's have a look at her astonishment when she learns that.
Was there anything, what did they think about Harris?
Did they have anything to say about her?
Uh, they did have the inside with Jen Psaki.
Listen, um, glasses are crooked.
Excuse me.
It depends on where you are.
We went to a number of different battleground states in Pennsylvania, Ohio.
Uh, we were in Michigan, Indiana on our way, obviously, uh, Illinois on our way to Chicago.
And it, it sort of depended on where you were.
Pennsylvania is, well, I shouldn't say Pennsylvania should say Philadelphia.
We're good to go.
Right, they weren't familiar with her, so I think she has to reintroduce herself to the public.
But for him, I think that they thought that he's better for the economy.
And that again, that he gave them, that he brought money into the community, or that he was on black people's side.
Don't actually even know who Kamala Harris is.
You're gonna have to work on that propaganda a little bit harder.
If you're watching us on YouTube, we're getting the countdown now.
We are... I'm sorry, we're leaving you.
It's not you, it's us.
It's not even actually us.
It's the fact that YouTube belongs to an alliance of massive media megaliths and corporatists that will ensure that the views that you gain access to make you obedient and compliant, turn you acquiescent.
And we want more for you.
We want you to be recalcitrant.
We want you to oppose.
We want you to be free.
We know that your freedom doesn't affect my freedom, so click that link in the description.
And you might get a chance to win tickets to see me and Taka Carlson on the 4th, just as soon as I think of a question.
And I will think of a question.
Let's get into our main story today.
Kamala Harris has confronted the naysayers.
Those that say she's incapable of doing an interview, why don't you feast upon this banquet of platitudes?
Those of you that say Kamala Harris is incapable of being spontaneous without
That sort of living life preserve, that human emotional support animal, Tim Waltz, eat this!
Why don't ya?
Because here she is on CNN answering not entirely softball questions, because there are some challenging questions, she just ignores those questions.
It's a staggering exercise, really.
Here's Dana Bash
Asking Kamala Harris the obvious question.
We're going to get into some of the various areas, the hypocrisies.
We'll get into the fracking idea.
We'll look at all of it.
We'll look at the moment where she sort of ludicrously focuses on sizzling bacon in a pan instead of observing that Joe Biden's secession as president would mean that she would be president, which is the sort of thing you would surely notice if you were vice president.
I mean, the whole thing about vice presidency is that vice component.
It's entirely defined by its prefix.
You can't imagine that if you got a call from the president saying, oh, I don't feel very well, that jigs up, love.
That debate, everyone saw it.
Well, everyone's seen it long before, but they could no longer deny it.
Hang on!
Well, many of you might find that hard to swallow.
And Joe Biden may be many things, but he ain't hard to follow.
Here is Kamala doing her great festival of platitudes on CNN.
Vice President Harris, you were a very staunch defender of President Biden's capacity to serve another four years.
Right after the debate, you insisted that President Biden is extraordinarily strong.
Given where we are now, do you have any regrets about what you told the American people?
No, not at all.
Not at all.
I have served with President Biden for almost four years now, and I'll tell you, it's one of the greatest honors of my career.
Truly.
Do you think anyone that's been Vice President, you'd have to, it's not among the greatest honours of my career.
There's that bit where I was an attorney, there's that bit...
Where I prolonged needlessly the sentences of jailed people.
There's this endless attempt to fit in with sets and alliances that seem hell-bent on imposing and controlling the freedoms of ordinary people.
But also I was vice president for a while and that was fantastic.
Yeah, someone in the Awaken Wonder chat has posted a meme about the increasing net worth of politicians while in power, in particular Biden and Harris, who have seen their net worth according to
This may at least increase rapidly.
Certainly it's a commonly trodden path for any politician.
Increased wealth while serving the public.
It's the kind of basic principle that we don't get enough time to discuss, isn't it?
That positions of government ought be truly ministry, and to minister means to serve.
You should see these people
I don't know.
The obvious humanity that must be present in any individual given that we're made in his likeness.
It's there.
It's there in all of us.
We're all in serious trouble if we don't ask for help together.
This moment, though, does make you wonder.
It's one of my favorite moments from the interview.
It's the moment where Kamala touches upon the moment where Joe Biden called her.
She uses this as an obvious opportunity to talk about domesticity and to render yet more half-arsed ersatz and phatic claptrap.
Here it is.
When he called you and said he was pulling out of the race, what was that like?
And did he offer to endorse you right away or did you ask for it?
It was a Sunday, so
Here, I'll give you a little too much information.
Go for it.
There's no such thing, Madam Vice President.
My family was staying with us.
I'm just regular like you.
I'm just regular like you.
I can make millions if I want to.
I can have endless wars if that's necessary.
The whole thing is performative, isn't it?
It's gone to the point where it's so shellacting claptrap that you can't really detect a reality underneath it anymore.
It was a Sunday.
I was with my family.
Subtext, I'm just like you.
Including my baby nieces.
And we had just had pancakes and, you know, Auntie, can I have more bacon?
Yes, I'll make you more bacon.
And then we were going to sit, we were sitting down to do a puzzle.
And the phone rang and it was Joe Biden.
That's true.
I hope that's how the world works.
I hope that's how power functions.
I hope that it's not all about extraordinary relationships with balkanized, galvanized, carved up nations.
I hope it's nothing to do with CIA bases in the Ukraine.
I hope that
Biden didn't receive significant sums from companies and corporations that subsequently employed Hunter Biden.
I hope that there aren't corporations that prevent legislation ever being passed that would meaningfully impact the ability of the pharmaceutical industry to name but one to continue to profit and exploit ordinary people.
I hope that America is still won by people with a sizzling pan of bacon and a bunch of nieces.
I hope that that's still the kind of ominous
America that exists somewhere, but I can't help but think that this is a carefully managed piece of TV propaganda.
You can't allow dear old Tim Walz and Kamala Harris to just take on a duck walk of public conversation.
You can't allow your views to stream freely into political spaces.
I think they know already.
I think they've long known that they've lost us.
I think they know the game is up.
I think really what we will experience now are a series of mediocre bureaucratic officials, unless there is some sort of another anomalous event, I'm talking something that disrupts, whether that's a Trump presidency or a Brexit or a movement that's outside of the mainframe and the mainstream.
I don't know where it will come from, the left or the right, I don't think it even matters.
What I think matters is the disruption of the establishment because without that,
I think we're going to be managed into total control, the legitimisation of total control.
You will see the pieces falling into place, this piece of technology, this piece of legislation, these anti-protest laws, this division in this nation, these cultural fractions, these new edicts that determine that people can't grow their own food or even farming in a scale that was recognisable 10, 20 years ago will be pared down and controlled and redistributed.
Unless something extraordinary happens seems like that's the way we're going and I don't think that you can disrupt that over a sizzling pan of bacon fat and And he told me what he had decided to do and I Asked him are you sure?
And he said yes and I
And that's how I learned about it.
And what about the endorsement?
Did you ask for it?
He was very clear that he was going to support me.
So when he called to tell you, he said, I'm pulling out of the race and I'm going to support you.
Well, my first thought was not about me, to be honest with you.
I don't really think about myself.
You know when people try and sell you the idea?
Yeah, I don't really think about myself when the president calls me and says I don't need a president anymore.
I don't even really think about the connotations.
Oh yeah, I suppose that does make me president.
How about I turn this bacon down, actually, because it seems like we're on the brink of, like, massive wars all over the world.
I should probably do something about that.
And it seems like, actually, the whole government's been captured by a corporate class, and we've condemned and damned through propaganda, like, half of the population, and created, like, a metropolitan elite class that spends all of their time sneeringly damning blue-collar and working men.
I should probably do something about that, now that I'm president.
I don't really think like that.
Just, I don't know.
You know that Don McLean song?
Vincent, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
I'm a bit like that, the subject.
I'm a bit like Van Gogh.
My first thought was about him, to be honest.
I think history is going to show a number of things about Joe Biden's presidency.
I think history is going to show that... History's not like an independent... History's not God, is it?
History?
Hello!
Ho ho ho!
I am history!
History, Churchill would tell you, is written by the victors.
History, Foucault would tell you, is deliberately superficial and amounts to propaganda.
History is a set of ideas that are pushed in order to put you in a particular perspective.
That's why if someone comes up with
Interesting and novel ideas about perhaps ancient civilizations or why someone pushes, if someone pushes a spiritual purview, they're condemned as maniacs and lunatics.
There's no objectivity in history.
History is merely the undergirding of the current order.
And if history did have any objectivity, go Joe Biden.
Hmm.
Career politician.
Utterly corrupt.
Corrupt in every way conceivable.
You can look at his voting records.
You can look at his career.
He was completely in the hock of corporations.
Completely in the business of war.
Seems to be a man without ethics and I'm beginning to wonder if he even had a fight with Corn Pop.
In so many ways it was transformative.
Be it on what we have accomplished around finally investing in America's infrastructure, investing in new economies, in new industries, what we have done to bring our allies back together and have confidence in who we are as America, and grow that alliance.
What we have done to stand true to our principles, including one of the most important international rules and norms, which is the importance of sovereignty and territorial integrity.
And I think history is going to show not only has Joe Biden led an administration that has achieved those extraordinary successes, but the character of the man is one that he has been in his life and career, including as a president, quite selfless and puts the American people first.
He was dragged out of that office by Pelosi and the Clintons and the Obamas.
They didn't know what to do.
His own wife, in the end, had to throw him under a bus.
It was an absolute spectacle of elder abuse and lunacy.
And look at what has spawned yet another
Political candidate who can only be accommodated in environments that are plushy and cushy and soft and platitudinous that don't allow for interrogation when it comes to war or even civil tax policies actually that have been announced.
Like a capital gains tax thing sounds pretty bloody confusing to me.
It's an
Outrage is ludicrous and ridiculous and even CNN in their own post-mortem seem to be in damage control mode.
It wasn't a huge, I don't think she moved the ball that much forward.
I don't think there's a policy separation that they've created with Biden.
Obviously she gave a kind of personal defense of him.
Now you might not like the way she answered him but she answered him as a capable qualified leader and I do think she
I think she moved the ball forward a little bit.
You know, maybe she didn't score a touchdown.
I think the two biggest issues coming out of Biden for her are the economic policies, which she clearly wants to embrace, but also the immigration policies.
Dana asked her if she had anything to say about what they did for three and a half years leading up until the back and forth this year, completely sidestepped it, did not answer it.
She goes back to her time as attorney general, but again, absolutely nothing, nothing.
No responsibility, no reflection at all on the day one executive actions or anything else they did for three and a half years or anything she said in her previous campaign which was to have the most permissive immigration structure.
She's trying to skip a block of time at the debate.
Trump cannot allow it.
Hey!
Well, there you go.
Let me know what you're going to be doing with your electoral rights this coming November.
Let me know how you plan to sustain the onslaught of banality that will be coming your way.
Encouraged to lay down supine amidst the anodyne and drink it like a fine wine, when in fact you are too refined to even imagine that this is anything other than another
Empty, hollow, candida, incapable of spontaneity and openness.
I pray, I pray for the day where the true humanity of Kamala Harris and all of the people that the centrists trot out before us can be experienced and can be lived.
At the moment, really, I would have to say that this campaign is doing dark work indeed.
Furthering corporatism,
Furthering globalism, furthering division, distracting us from war and massacre, disillusion and despair, and potentially there could be a chance to disrupt it.
Firstly, I would suppose by pursuing spiritual principles individually and by recognising that new tectonic
Political plates are beginning to shift.
At least that's my prayer.
At least that's my hope of what could be born out of the Bobby Kennedy, Trump, Tulsi Gabbard, shifting and changing anti-globalist movement across the world.
But hey, that's just what I think.
Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
Remember to give us a like and subscribe wherever you are watching this.

This is just a little bit of me in a very small, intimate gig last night.
Have a look.
Is this mental illness or not?
You tell me.
You're qualified.
Are you trying to assess your level of mental illness always?
Do you self-diagnose?
Yeah, I've got ADHD.
Have you done a quiz online to tell me that you're autistic?
Of course you fucking have.
Let me save you the 50 quid that it asks you for at the end.
That's what it does, isn't it?
Like, I ask you, are you autistic?
And you definitely are, mate.
I can tell already.
I can give you instant diagnosis.
Yes, yes, autism.
Abandoned.
That's the worst.
The whole room's flooded with it.
There's not one of you that's not redolent stinking with Asperger's.
There you go, that's the sort of thing that comes out of my mouth if I don't think too carefully about what I say.
And I hope that I'll be able to think a little more diligently when I appear with Tucker Carlson in Phoenix on September the 4th, which is just next week.
Now, this competition's available to our subscribers and our community members over on local, so I'll use that special camera.
Now, there's free pairs of tickets available
For Phoenix, Arizona.
Don't bother entering this if you can't get to Phoenix, Arizona, because I don't want to waste the tickets.
We had to ask Tucker Carlson's team, give us a few pairs of tickets so that we can give away to our subscriber community.
Here's the question, and the first three of you to answer this in the chat correctly will win a pair of tickets to see Tucker Carlson and me.
This, is it next Wednesday?
It's the 4th.
I don't know how days work, or the calendar, January, February, all of that.
You know.
So,
Tucker Carlson.
When Fox fired him, what was the reason that they gave?
The first three of you to answer that correctly will receive a pair of tickets.
Remember, only enter it if you can get there.
Don't, like, waste everybody's time.
And, yeah, I do seem a bit autistic pulling the strings.
That's why, actually, that's where that whole joke goes, actually.
Rumble, guys.
And, yeah, get over there.
Become an Awake and Wonder.
Join our community.
We do live stand-up all the time in order to facilitate that stuff.
Now, is there anyone other than Bobby Kennedy that you would trust to get this kind of information into the mainstream?
Surely, even the doubters and the haters have to acknowledge that what Bobby Kennedy's endorsement amounts to is the reassertion of issues into this election campaign.
Free speech,
End war and health.
In particular, the health of children.
Bobby Kennedy has become adept at getting these issues discussed on the mainstream.
Let's have a look at his conversation recently, where he was able to bring that right to the forefront.
In a minute, we'll be bringing you my conversation with Tony Robbins to talk about his new film, City of Dreams, with its director, Mohit Ramchandani.
Mohit Ramchandani is the writer and director of this new film, which is about child trafficking.
So obviously, he's getting, um...
We're good to go.
Why should people be worried about these kind of products?
The seed oils are one of the most unhealthy ingredients that we have in foods and seed oils.
The reason they're in the foods is because they're heavily subsidized.
They're very, very cheap, but they are associated with all kinds of very, very serious illnesses, including body-wide inflammation, which affects all of our health.
It's one of the worst things you can eat, and it's almost impossible to avoid.
If you eat any processed foods, you're going to be eating seed oil.
Right, and it's interesting, the government subsidizes it.
Why would the government want to subsidize something that's going to make people sick?
And then, in the end, we all end up paying for that in terms of healthcare costs, which are skyrocketing.
Yeah, because that is a direct result of corruption.
About 75% of FDA's budget comes from regulated industry, and that means food processors and pharmaceutical industry, all of them profit from a sick population.
You know, a big item that, and by the way, it's getting very expensive, are cereals.
Why is the food coloring in particular bad?
Food coloring, you see here, yellow food coloring, that is a petroleum product.
It's associated with really, you know, with depression, it's associated with autoimmune injuries and ADHD.
These, and red dye also is, you know, is very bad in Europe.
These same companies are producing the same products, but they're using natural coloring, but here they can get away with it.
We have about almost a thousand chemicals that are in our food that are either outright banned in Europe or actively discouraged, so you wouldn't be able to buy this kind of stuff in Europe.
You ask about why it's so cheap, why it's so ubiquitous.
It's because we subsidize the worst foods.
We subsidize it with about 70% of our food stamp program is to process foods, which are all poison.
Right.
One other thing that's interesting is you'll see on labels, natural flavors, which is this catch-off phrase that I guess was lobbied for, but the ingredients in natural flavors are not really natural.
No.
In our country, natural flavors are chemical products.
Natural products aren't natural.
Food is a poison.
We're being flooded with toxicity.
If you have the image of a conveyor belt onto which you are
We're good to go.
A blob from whom taxes can be extracted, sickness can be inserted, lies can enshroud and control you unless you awaken.
My hope and prayer is that something extraordinary may be about to happen.
That the world is changing fast, rapidly, and it's beginning with you.
How else could it begin than with you?
But the candidacy and alliance of Bobby Kennedy
I believe represents the kind of progress that could disrupt the terrible trajectory of global corporatism.
Believe you me, it's going to take a lot more than platitudes to bring down the globalist, corporatist elites that run various organisations and institutions, bureaucratic and financial, militaristic, and that employ a managerial professional class to keep us all in check.
Duped, lied to, banalized and controlled.
Sick, allergic, maltreated and malnourished.
But that's just what I think.
Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.

They told him there's no reason.
There was a lot of talk about Jan 6.
There was a lot of talk about text messages.
But in the end, they said there was no reason.
And the Awakened Wonders that were first to answer were at Roselle at

Time now for our fantastic guest talking about a pretty fantastic film.
You may know Tony Robbins for his incredible work with personal development.
He's produced some great films and was involved in the great success of Sound of Freedom.
He joins us now with Mohit Ramchandani.
To talk about City of Dreams.
City of Dreams covers the story of a trafficked child.
Because when you think about child sex trafficking and child trafficking for labour, it's kind of a bit faceless, isn't it?
It's difficult to take on the scale of tragedy that we face these days.
So, what they've done in this film is personalise it and
Great to be with you, brother.
Yes, thank you so much.
Congratulations on your film.
I'm very excited to be participating in the launch of City of Dreams, which strikes me as a kind of film that will hugely benefit all of the people that see it.
It's the kind of film that people have sort of stopped making these days.
Heartening, strong moral center.
Seems that it's got some very good executive producers, not least of all...
You Tony!
One of the things we know from the success of Sound of Freedom is that it seems to be controversial to speak out against child trafficking these days.
So you've taken a risk in speaking out against child trafficking for all those people out there that
Like child trafficking are going to be disappointed because this is an anti-child, just to clarify, anti-child show.
It's not good to traffic children either for labor and certainly not for more insidious purposes.
Tony, tell me what your personal journey is with the film, why you felt that you had to be involved?
Well, you know, I think I've been involved, my wife and I, for about eight years with saving children in this area.
We had somebody at one of our events one day, we're always promoting people, you know, we've had a billion people over ten years say, like, what's your moonshot?
What do you want to do?
And this woman talked about she wanted to save all these children, and she was crying, telling me about a friend of hers that, you know, whose child was stolen.
So I said, well, what's an organization that does it?
Was it Case to Save a Child?
And she said, well, it's about $3,500 and there's this organization that does it.
I said, I'll put up the first quarter million.
Let's see what we can raise right here, right now.
We raised $2 million.
And then I went to the organization and I went on a trip with them.
I went down to Haiti and we saved 37 children.
I was undercover with movie scars on my face and so forth.
And I gotta tell you, Russell, as one of the
Ugliest things I've ever seen in my entire life.
The inhumanity.
These children, 12 years old, 10 years old, chained to a bed doing tricks seven, eight times a day.
It's beyond your imagination.
The worst thing you could ever imagine.
But it was also the most beautiful thing seeing these kids when we rescued them and when they were freed.
And so we've, my wife and I have participated in funding over 50,000 children's rescues
So, you know, when we did, you know, the experience of Sound of Freedom, as you know, we beat Disney during July 4th weekend.
It was unbelievable.
People really moved the story, helped to get the word out, and helped us to raise more money to save more kids.
But it also made people feel like it was over there.
And what's different about City of Dreams is this is not so much about sexual slavery as it is just labor slavery.
Children that are enslaved
We're good to go.
But it's too much.
But when you follow one child's life, a real story, and you experience what that child does, you can't help but feel it.
So this is like a thriller.
It keeps you on the edge of your seat.
But it's a hero's journey, because this young man not only saves himself against all odds, but he saves everybody else, too.
And then there's a real call to action at the end, like we had with Sound of Freedom.
So I could not participate.
And Moe has built what
You know, Slice the Loan, you know, Peter Guber, people that are incredible filmmakers are coming out and saying, this is a masterpiece.
People saying it's Oscar worthy.
It got a hundred percent in the first test, which is unheard of with the critics on Rotten Tomatoes.
Even now, it's still 86 with all the mass input to it.
So it's a film people will love, but it's also a film that'll save lives.
Mo, this must be an extraordinary moment for you to realize this project, particularly with it being such an important subject.
I recognize you must be competing for air with some people who are hardly shy when it comes to public speaking, and it's on that basis that I appreciate your haircut.
Tell me, Mo, what... Yeah, it's like I got electrocuted.
Tell me mate, it must be very exciting to hear your film being spoken about as a potential Oscar candidate.
Tell me what the journey has been like for you as the director and creator.
Well, you know, it's been a really, really long journey.
It's been six years and I've been working on it.
I started six years ago.
My mother died.
I put her life insurance money into getting this movie made because nobody wanted to make a movie about a mute kid from Mexico who sold to a sweatshop.
You know, no superheroes, no werewolves.
And it was challenging.
I mean, the making of the movie was great, but I actually finished in October of
2022.
2022, right.
And I just couldn't get anyone to watch it.
Like, no, everyone refused.
It was like, the minute they heard the pitch, and I was like, I just need you to see it.
I need you to see it.
And things started to turn in February of last year, the New York Times did an expose on migrant children being exploited in supply chains of American corporations.
But
I went through sort of like a dark period because all my investors, everyone sort of walked away and was like, we don't know what's going to happen with this movie.
And I just started going to yoga every day.
And I was in the changing room at yoga and this older gentleman comes out and he's completely naked.
And he goes, Hey kid, can you get me a towel?
And I don't know why I said it.
I was like, yeah, I can, but I need you to watch my movie.
And he was kind of like, you know, what the hell?
And I get him a towel and he's like, you know, he goes, so, you know,
No, no, no, no.
All the sort of nos started turning to yeses.
And slowly, you know, we went from him, his name's Michael Phillips, he joined as an executive producer.
And then the mayor of LA, her office had a screening for Latino Heritage Month last October.
And we got roadside attractions there, you know, the studio that did Manchester by the Sea and Mud, and they absolutely loved the film.
And they said, Hey, you know, we could see this being released, but you know, kind of on 25 screens, like a small rollout, they were like, even Slumdog Millionaire got a small release.
And I said, No, I was like, Sound of Freedom came out, it showed us that people are interested in this topic.
And I want a much wider release.
And then it was this journey of
You know, getting more people to support it and getting more marketing money.
And that eventually led me to Sean Wolfington, who's one of the executive producers on Sound of Freedom.
And he was like, hey, I'm going to get you ambassadors.
We're going to create this ambassador program like we did for Sound of Freedom of people who believe in this issue and people who will respond to the movie as well.
And he was driving.
And actually, Tony, I've never told you this.
He was driving up to your house and he said,
Hey Moe, I'm going to Tony Robbins' house and I'm about to show him the film and I like flipped out.
I was like, you know, last 20 years of my life I'm watching Tony Robbins' videos.
So he's on his way to Tony's house.
I'm in Mexico City finishing the film and he calls me after leaving Tony's house with his wife and he goes,
You know, man, I'm not sure.
I don't think Tony really got it.
And I'm just dying inside.
I'm like, it's over.
It's over.
And then he's like, but Tony sent you a video.
I'm going to send you a video Tony sent you.
And I got this video where Tony's like, Mo, what you've created is so amazing.
And I'm crying my eyes out.
And I just fell on the floor and wept.
You know, like, it was just such a great moment for me, like, having Tony, who's been a hero of mine, come on, and a lot of people have joined.
I mean, it's kind of surreal, you know, to have all these people that I've admired for so long come on and support my first film as a director, but it's been a tough journey, I'm not gonna lie.
Even your answer to that question was a roller coaster ride when it began with a naked man in a changing room.
I thought oh this is a bit of the old Hollywood that we're trying to get away from but thankfully it slowly morphed into an inspiring tale of bringing people together
In support of an important and powerful project.
And it seems like the kind of film that could really bring an important message that extraordinarily seems to be one that is being prevented from reaching a large audience.
I find it very hard even to speculate as to why the establishment wouldn't want as many people to know as possible that there are 12 million people, 12 million children under conditions of slavery to this day.
Some of them the most
Forms of slavery that are difficult even to imagine and and of course the story of Jesus in your film City of Dreams is a story about a child trapped in labor conditions and as Tony's already pointed out It's we focus on this boy and his dreams the mechanics of child slavery the business of getting a kid over the border why I
Is it true that, and Tony maybe you'll take this one because I see now that Moe can handle a soliloquy himself, that influencers are being shadow banned and prevented from talking about the film?
Do you think that's because of the issues of the film or the economic model and the threat that films made outside of the establishment present?
Or do you think it's the issues?
I don't know which one to hope for really.
It's a great question.
I can't give you a straight answer.
I wish I could.
You know, when we did Sound of Freedom, of course, it was a Christian distribution group, Angel Studios.
And for some reason, this country being Christian has become a negative in some way.
I don't know how you could possibly explain that.
But this one is roadside pictures.
It's a big studio.
It's not tied to any political side.
And, you know, this is an issue that it doesn't matter if you're right or left, Republican or Democrat.
I mean, this is our children.
This is like it shouldn't matter who this is.
There's no political statement here whatsoever.
It's just saying this is what's really happening.
And by the way, this is based on real stories.
Like, you know, most read the story about these kids just outside of L.A.
in this little city.
They had 70 kids underground.
They didn't see light for seven years.
All enslaved labor making these materials.
So people just don't know this is happening in their backyard.
And we want to wake them up to it.
But yes, we've gotten about a dozen of our top influencers have said we've been shadow banned.
They've sent us the piece saying, you know, that they've been stopped.
You know, we don't understand why.
I know Zuckerberg just apologized the other day for some of the things that they interfered with.
So maybe it's an old algorithm.
They haven't updated, but we're requesting they clean it up as soon as possible.
And hopefully they will.
Yeah, it's an important film for people to see, both in terms of its subject, but also it's an enjoyable film.
Mo, how did you tackle the fantasy scenes with the protagonist who dreams of making it as a football star?
What kind of techniques were you using to make those films in particular?
And was it important to you to contrast the kind of transcendent glory of the child's imagination and innocent wonder
With the kind of despair that ultimately ends up being the conditions of his labor.
Yes, definitely.
You know, that was one of the decisions I made was I don't want to make a docudrama.
I feel like docudramas and documentaries, they scratch the surface of our intellectual curiosity, but they don't kind of hit you.
They don't, you know, pull at the heartstrings.
And I wanted to make a slumdog millionaire, a city of God, you know, and I remember Lee Daniels did this movie called Precious, where there was a woman who was, you know, a young
Yeah, I think so.
So, you know, that was one of the things I thought also that would broaden the audience for the movie.
And I knew I would get a little bit of slack from critics who want to focus more on the politics and this and that.
But I wanted to reach the most amount of people.
And I think most people want to go on a ride.
They don't want to be preached to.
So those fantasy scenes of him on the soccer field and the nightmare of the shaman and who the shaman turns out to be were very important.
And, you know, for me, technically, I shot them at a different frame rate.
So I shot the whole movie, you know, at 24, and then I shot those sequences either in slow motion or at 28 frames, which I borrowed from Mel Gibson in The Passion of the Christ, because he shot that whole movie in 28 frames, which I thought was really interesting.
So it gave it kind of a flowy sort of feel.
As you know, I am British.
Now, when we left the territory of India, we did our very best to responsibly partition it in ways that would cause no problems or wars or religious conflicts down the line.
And I'd like to criticize America for your ongoing imperialism.
That said...
That said, is it true that you have personal family history when it comes to the conditions of child labour?
Yes.
So, you know, my parents, both my mother and father, were actually born in Sindh, which is now in Pakistan, but used to be India.
And during 1947's partition, what happened was my mom had just been born, so she was a baby.
My dad was seven.
And his father was a public defender and they'd been kicked out of their homes and they'd been sent across the border and for a long time my dad worked, you know, as a t-boy in sweatshop conditions, you know, in order to provide for the family and it kind of.
It really had a toll on him, because in the movie, he is Jesus, but he's also the abusers.
Because growing up, he was incredibly, it was like, get straight A's, marry an Indian girl, or you choose between the belt and the stick.
It was very, you know, black and white with him.
And it was a result of the trauma he'd suffered.
So working on this film,
In a way, for me, it was a way to forgive my dad.
You know, I say this all the time.
In Joseph Campbell's Hero with a Thousand Faces, he says atonement with the father is one of the most important boons for the hero, and the hero has to recognize that the ogre aspect of the father is a reflection of the hero's ego, because the father's actually preparing him for the office of life, whether consciously or unconsciously.
So, I really was inspired by Joseph Campbell, and that was one of the reasons I wrote the movie as a hero's journey.
And it really is.
When Mo was 12 years old, he was sharing with me what his father said.
Indian girlfriend, do great in school, don't be in trouble.
He said, I was doing the opposite of all three of those.
He got my book and started listening to my stuff.
But he also saw Rocky.
And this film really has that Rocky feel to it, because it's really about this person who overcomes unbelievable odds, and really does do it.
But he didn't just save himself, he saves others as well.
And so Sly's a friend, and so when he told me that Sly was such a huge influence in his life, I reached out to Sly, and Sly saw the film and loved it, endorsed the film, but also...
Mo was so moved, he gave me a message back about how moved he was, and I sent it to Sly, and it moved Sly.
I said, look, you're a hero, you're giving back to your hero.
It's been a really, you know, beautiful experience.
People are getting moved all over the place, Sly Stallone's moved.
You're becoming like the protagonist of your own film, Mo.
You're living out this extraordinary journey, you're resolving it.
Forgive me if you've already referred to it, but is your father still with us and able to... No.
No, I'm sorry to hear that, man.
He died when I was 15, and that's when I grew up in Hong Kong and my family moved to London.
I went to London School of Economics.
I lived in London for about six years.
My brother's still there, but that was the turning point of my life.
No, he's not still with us.
Neither is my mom.
My mom passed away too.
I'm sure that your parents will be extraordinarily proud of this incredible achievement and it seems that given that you are receiving such guidance and tutelage from the great man with by whom we are joined and getting the kind of ridiculous experience of having Sly Stallone sending you weeping messages after you've made your own plucky underdog story about redemption
It seems that things are really working out well for you, Mo.
So it seems like you're kind of realizing dreams even as you're telling stories about precisely that phenomena.
It's interesting.
You're the first person that's presented it in that way, but I will tell you... What did you expect?
What did you expect?
Just by the book promo?
Is that what you think I'm going to deliver you?
Just I'm going to come out here and not examine it and give you something unique?
When you were at the London School of Economics, you must have been aware that one of the defining figures of British culture was good old Russell Brand.
Yes, definitely, definitely.
But I'll tell you that Tony, you know, this was only a few weeks ago, I was driving back to my place, I live in LA from Whole Foods, and Tony sends me a message, Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday.
And I'm like, is he, he's either drinking or he doesn't know that he sent it to me, because I mean, I don't usually get a message like that from him.
And then I get this video from Stallone,
And I just was paralyzed.
Like, I just sat in my car and I cried, and I said to myself, I said, all right, no matter what happens from this moment onwards in my life, this movie can fail, I cannot achieve my dreams of making an impact in the world, I'm not a failure anymore.
Because I was able to move the person that moved me, and I made that decision.
I said, anything I see that's negative, I'm gonna turn it to positive.
So that's one of the greatest gifts
Anyone has ever given me.
And it's funny because I sent Tony a really nice polished message, a thank you message to send Sly.
And of course, he didn't do that.
He sent the one that I sent to him where I was weeping.
I was pretty embarrassed about, but it worked out.
Sly talked about, you know, it's so easy, you know, you live in this business to get, you know, hardened a bit.
And to see that he was so inspired by what he did so many years ago and that it really was touching other kids, it really touched his heart.
So, you know, we all have a way to give back in some way, but I really think this film, you know, our goal with this film, you know, Russell, obviously, is it's a call to action.
It's an absolute thriller.
You're on the edge of your seat.
It'll grab you.
But it's also really about, like, what can people do?
So afterwards, there's a call to action.
People go to the website and there's all kinds of things you can do.
Where do you buy your clothes?
You know, Mo, you might talk a little bit about what can be done in that area.
It plays such a role because of all the subcontractors.
You know, you can save a child's life these days.
There's one organization that I work with.
My wife and I have been working with them for many years.
They use this incredible AI and this machine learning.
In some cities in Indonesia, they've actually taken down these groups by 91%.
Prostitution is down 91%.
It's unheard of.
And they can save a child for $500.
So we have kids now that are sponsoring to save children's lives.
You can volunteer.
So we hope that people will be stimulated.
But the very minimum we want to do is it's like, you know, what stopped slavery in the United States?
It was Uncle Tom's Cabin, somebody writing the story, a storyteller waking people up until people said enough of this.
And we think this hopefully will be the beginning of that process and waking people up.
But Mo, you might share about, you know, what happened.
Yeah, I know.
And I'm sure that, that Russell, you know, I've, I've listened to some of his stuff before, so I know he's going to be on board with this.
Like I presented this to the labor department last year and I said, all the organizations and saving children and all that, I totally get it, but I have a very simple solution that is proven and that I know that will work.
And it's as simple as this.
I used to work on wall street for about three months.
I worked actually in the city of London.
And every single third-party trading office has to have an SEC compliance officer.
That's law.
And I said, why does this law not exist for all other businesses?
Why is it that Gap or Reebok or Whole Foods or whoever they are can subcontract and not have a compliance officer in that facility?
And I presented this at a meeting that the Labor Department had and the lawyer
You know, came up when he goes, hey, man, that was a really good idea.
And I was like, no, I'm an idiot.
I don't know anything.
I'm a filmmaker.
You shouldn't be saying that to me.
You should be implementing this.
And of course, nothing's happening with it because I believe and I'm not an expert that corporate interests.
Pay for lobbying groups and they decide who make laws.
And this is a very simple thing.
If this happens, I mean, there's no way this can continue because all those third party sites are going to have compliance officers in them and there's going to be a $100,000 fine per person per human rights violation.
Like, that makes a real impact.
And for some reason... You limited all the economic upside for them.
Right, right.
So we're working with some people to see if we can get legislation into Congress.
We've got people on both sides of the aisle to see what we can do to give it a push.
So it's an entertaining movie that tells an important story that has, as part of it, an activist approach to changing the law that will help children become free from child slavery.
It is the very sort of thing that we need to shadow ban at once.
Where are we supposed to get our child labor from with films like this?
No, I want to congratulate both of you on this important project and of course on your assessment of what could provide a further solution beyond the important work of telling stories that help to reach the emotional resources required in order to motivate real change.
And it's staggering that there is so little
Thank you so much for joining us.
City of Dreams is out on, is it out now guys?
August the 30th?
It's out today.
Well, tonight.
The first previews are tonight.
Oh, fantastic.
We'll post a link in the description for where you can see it most easily.
And we'll end the show now by showing you the trailer of the movie.
I enjoyed it.
It's absolutely fantastic.
You should go see it straight away.
It's vital that you see it for all of the reasons that Mo and Tony have outlined.
Tony, Mo, thank you so much for joining us.
Thank you for having us, Russell.
Come on, son.
How's the kid doing?
He's ready.
That's good, that's good.
It's the right decision for the whole family.
Do you think you're going to play on the field tomorrow?
No, no, no.
Any reason you rode through that stop?
I'm sorry.
That your son?
Yes.
Got any ID for the boy?
Yeah.
Watch the stops.
To a 2018 red Mustang belonging to a Rodrigo Ramirez.
Rise and shine, homie!
Rise and shine!
First shift, 6.30.
Second shift, 12.30.
Last shift, 2.11 and boom.
Lights out at midnight.
You crush it.
I know there's more of them in there.
Well, a fake passport isn't gonna cut it.
Yes, sir.
These people have no criminal history whatsoever.
We've got evidence that they're harboring illegals.
Plus, we're warrant denied.
Copy that.
I'd quit poking around.
Catch my drift?
What is the truth?
The truth is that as much as we want to be free, we live and we die together.
