Time Text
Thank you.
Thank you.
Rumble's where we are at.
Rumble's what it's about for us.
We love Rumble.
Over the course of the show, we're going to be talking about atrophying democracies all over the world.
And I reckon this, there's this...
Good post by Brett Weinstein on X where he said that we can see when there's media mass formation, we can use it to detect what globalists want.
For example, during the COVID era, you couldn't talk about vaccine injuries.
You couldn't question whether or not to take the vaccine.
You couldn't question the measures governments were taking without being condemned and censored.
Now, when it comes to the Ukraine-Russia war, you can't query whether or not it's best to stop funding this war in order to bring about a ceasefire.
I myself am trying to pick my way through a political landscape that I cannot claim to understand.
I reckon what we're trying to find are coordinates that will help us to recognise that all political power is limited, that there are no saviours when it comes to the political space.
Let me know what you think about that in the political chat, i.e. are the world's problems completely solved by the election of President Trump?
Are all the world's problems made worse by the election of President Trump?
Or do we have to look beyond the limits of political power?
In order to see where true salvation might come from.
We're going to talk a lot about Europe, which seems to be turning increasingly fascistic when it comes to the subjects like...
Censorship, conscription, that's happening in...
France now, and jailing people for stuff they're doing online.
And of course, our main story today, arresting political candidates and banning them from being online.
Like, real interesting stuff.
We're going to get right into it.
Hello, everyone in Rumble.
Like, hold on a sec.
Actually, could you make the print, like, on Locals, guys, the Locals chat looks like it ain't alive, and the Rumble chat's in a smaller size than usual.
Can you come over and have a little look?
Thanks, guys.
Thanks very much.
Who's going to come over?
It's Isaac.
Here he is.
He's going behind the camera.
The old...
I like to call him Fiddler on the Roof, but in his 20s.
If they ever make a prequel for Fiddler on the Roof, Isaac, I think you're into it.
Some of you won't be able to get that, but...
If you consider that it's...
It's a racist.
It's a racist.
Maybe anti-Semitic.
I don't know.
Which way will I go?
Nazi or anti-Semite?
I mean, that's what...
That alerted me to the problem.
There we go.
Beth in Wonderland.
Yeah, she's there on Local.
Sensitive Hearts.
I'm feeling good, actually.
Yeah, thanks.
That's good, Isaac.
Thank you.
If I were a rich man.
And Shark Bay and Paul Schober.
Good to see you.
It was an attack from Morning Joe.
All right, let's get into our content.
Bill Nye, not the actor one, the science one.
Did a Nazi salute at a Stand Up for Science rally.
He can't have done a Nazi salute, but if he did, many of us anti-Semites here would be backing him to do it.
We're not into anti-Semitism.
All racism is bad.
Science!
Oh yeah, that's one.
Science!
Mmm, just because you've got that pee-wee Herman bow tie on, that don't mean you can't be a Nazi.
Hitler was a funny little fella in a bunch of ways.
Now, the Democrats don't seem to have absorbed the lesson that people want more than hollow, empty gestures.
You know when we held up those ping-pong bats in Congress?
Yeah, that seemed like a hollow, empty gesture.
It made it look like you were sort of fallow, shallow, futile, youthful, juvenile, empty, hollow, useless.
Prats.
Yeah, well, we got some more empty gestures.
What if we start acting like we're doing Street Fighter or the Avengers and stuff like that?
No, you've not got it.
You've not got the point.
You need some purpose.
you need to revitalize your movement.
Nothing on earth could persuade me to participate in something like that.
Now, go search the internet and see if I ever have participated in things like that.
I once nearly did an advert for Hewlett-Packard, like a while ago.
Like Hewlett-Packard?
They gave me so much money!
Have you seen an episode of The Simpsons with Krusty the Clown?
They drove up to my house in a truck!
In a truck!
Like Hewlett-Packard offered me some money to advertise.
It was a photocopier.
And when I was a kid, like 16, 17, and I was on drugs and everything, I did tele-sales, tele-marketing sales for Hewlett-Packard selling ink cartridges for photocopier machines.
And when they was offering me a lot of money, I was like...
This is a real turnaround.
So I have done stupid, dumb stuff, both for money and for pleasure in my life.
But what I've not done is, you know, do you remember in COVID when all of them stars, some of whom are stars that I like, like, say, the lass that plays Wonder Woman, and they sung, like, because I've done a film with her.
I've done Death on the Nile with her.
She was, oh, man, she's so beautiful.
There's one bit where she kissed me on the lips.
You know, it was acting.
It was in the scene.
And I felt, like, I felt...
I felt some pretty strong feelings.
Anyway, when she, Wonder Woman, did that, imagine all the people.
I was like, this ain't right.
Something inside me told me that ain't the right thing to do.
I do feel that.
And this is that, again, isn't it?
Doing this is not the right thing to do.
Like, this kind of, like, right, everyone, what are we going to do?
See how, like, there's all these unpopular wars and everything's falling apart?
Yeah, we can all see that.
You see how no one trusts us anymore because of the pandemic.
Yeah, we can all see that.
You see how since the financial crisis, the Democrat Party's been sort of pointless, really.
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
Let's do this thing where we mimic Street Fighter.
That won't be embarrassing.
You look good, Eve.
It's not like a good thing to do like that, right?
Okay, let's do that.
I'm all self-conscious about my image!
Yeah!
Vote for us!
Vote for us!
We're not in the hock of the man or nothing And the punching as well because then it is That's Marshall, isn't it?
Like, oh yeah, I'm tough!
Yeah, I'm tough!
No.
No, that is not.
You're going to have to do better than that now.
You're going to have to do better than that.
One man who knows they're going to have to change is Gavin Newsom.
I knew something was up when, during the pandemic, Gavin Newsom had part.
Didn't Gavin Newsom used to go out with Kimberly Guilfoyle, who herself is now with Don Jr.?
I think that is true.
That Kimberly Guilfoyle, I've met her.
She's...
Beautiful.
Let's believe it at that.
Years ago, she was on that Fox 5 Friends of Fox 5 Friends, or whatever that show's called, right?
And I'll tell you, what happened was, is they was cussing me out, like, he's disgusting!
He's a disgusting, dirty pig!
Things like that about me.
And I'm actually not disgusting.
I'm actually extremely clean.
And I'll tell you, now, Kimberly is with Don Jr., isn't she?
Beth in Wonderland?
Like, I'll tell you something.
What?
Don Jr.?
No, they're married.
They're married.
Just watching some of the chats.
Join us on Locals or Rumble if you're watching us on X or YouTube or any of them places.
Remember, YouTube's corrupt.
You can't be on that shit.
So anyway, like, um, like, uh, well, you've stuck up for me.
Thank you.
I was attacked on the X by the far left.
You can't, yeah, you can't just get into all that calling people a rapist because there was womanizers when they were a kid.
That's no good, man.
Anyway, so, um, my point is this.
Even when I was a very promiscuous person, I was super, super clean.
That's when you've got to be clean.
You have to be clean.
You have to be clean if you're going to be dirty.
These days, I'm living for the Lord Jesus Christ because I just don't see any other answer.
And don't get me wrong, there are moments where I feel terrible, terrible doubt and despair.
Like, maybe God ain't even real.
I don't know.
I don't know what's the point.
Why shouldn't I just drink myself to death?
But what I never do is stuff like this.
Choose your character!
You know?
That's no way to live.
We're better than that.
Now, Gavin Newsom, he's trying to turn his life right around going on Charlie Cook.
We'll be looking at that in a minute.
We're going to be talking about what it means when Romanian presidential candidates get elected.
We're going to be talking about prison planet or continent planet Europe.
Continental prison Europe.
And give us the files!
Give us the files!
Give us a glimpse!
Give us a glimpse!
And let me know in the comments and chat if Brian...
Not Brian Epstein.
Brian Epstein?
Jeffrey Epstein.
Brian Epstein's the manager of the Beatles.
He didn't do anything wrong, except maybe people get the idea he might have tried to touch John Lennon on the dick.
Occasionally, like, listen, kid, I'm going to make you a star.
Oh, yeah, how are you going to do that then?
I'll tell you in a minute first.
Let me just quickly put this jacket on.
Because apparently Brian Epstein did dress them up.
But that doesn't mean that he necessarily reached over, touched John Lennon on the dick.
And if what you're thinking now is stuff like, I heard that John Lennon struck Yoko and he was a womanizer.
Then you've got your priorities wrong!
He was a genius!
He was a genius!
Sometimes geniuses are troubled people.
They're sometimes troubled.
But...
There is morality and there is law, but you can't use the law for morals and you can't use...
Well, you have to use morals for the law.
Otherwise, what precepts could you rely on?
Okay, before we get into Charlie Kirk and Gavin Newsom, let's have a look at Sunny Hostin.
I believe she's one of them ladies on The View, isn't she?
Talking about...
Talking about, like, Al Green getting ejected from Trump's congressional address.
I didn't see that.
But it didn't unite them all because ten Democrats voted to censure Green.
Wow.
Do you want to...
A list of the ten?
Do you want to hear their names?
Yes, I do.
Why go after them, too?
Go after the Republicans.
Because they don't know how to fight and be part of an opposition party.
I like them tough guys, Democrats.
We all saw them doing that.
Let's have another look at them doing that Avenger stuff.
That's actually made me feel unusual inside.
Use your character.
If I press stop, it'll go through again.
Use your character.
Huh?
Stop.
Yeah, I know how to work the buttons.
Do sometimes those things go well?
Sometimes people do that and they go, it's good that we've done that.
Because I feel like it's so obvious that while they're like, someone who works for the Democrat Party, they either go condemn Trump for saying this thing, right, don't they?
Or they say pivot and rock as if you're like a street fighter character.
Don't you sort of think, wouldn't something in you go, no chance, man.
We're going to look so stupid doing that.
Wouldn't something kick in?
I can't bother to watch them people off the view.
They make me feel sick.
Charlie?
No, I don't mean that in a disrespectful way.
They're human beings.
They're children of God.
But when I watched that show, I remember going on it.
I remember there was a really nice man who was the floor manager.
He was decent.
And I remember chatting to them women, you know, backstage and that kind of stuff.
New York City.
Feeling like you're accepted by the media.
Cover of Rolling Stone.
Hosting NSL. Feels so sort of...
What did it feel?
You try to offer it to yourself as a child and say, see, you are valuable.
You are valuable.
Life does mean something.
But while you're eating it, you can feel the bitterness in the taste of the food that they're offering you.
And the only flesh that you need is the flesh of him that died for us.
And you don't just taste it.
Man, you've got to gorge on it.
You've got to recognize that there's a secondary reality that you're not getting access to, that the realm of the senses is glorious.
Yes, that the realm of the intellect is beautiful too.
Yes, that's true.
But you've got to know that there's another realm.
You know that, don't you?
You feel it.
What is love but the reference to eternity?
What is this glory and joy that feels just beyond our reach?
Don't become the self-pity.
Don't worship and revere your pain.
Those of you that feel like you live on suicide's edge.
Those of you that feel like you're always on the edge of something, don't yield.
Don't fall into it.
Don't let the dark shepherd push you into the false light.
Remain connected.
Remain hopeful and optimistic and know that there is something else, that there is another realm that is accessible to you and that realm will not be granted to you by the false idols or the false prophets or those that point towards solutions and conclusions available and accessible here to us.
This place of pleasure, this place of pain is secondary.
Find God.
Find God.
Find God now.
Surrender.
Repent.
Turn away.
Let's look at Charlie Kirk talking to Gavin Newsom.
Wherever you're watching this, we'll be with you for a while.
Then we're going to do a little bit extra on Rumble Premium.
We're probably going to change our time slot pretty soon.
Did you know that?
So watch out for that.
And also, remember, at the end of this week, we're going to take a bit of time off, man.
But we'll keep pumping stuff out for you guys.
When I say pumping, don't let that diminish your belief in my...
Admiration and sincerity and my care for what we make for you.
Okay, so Gavin Newsom went on Charlie Kirk.
What that means is some members of the Democrat Party are repositioning now for what will have to emerge out of this collapsing globalist movement.
Someone like that.
Who's the dude that dresses bad?
They're called Jesse Feldman or Ventura.
Jesse Ventura.
Fetterman.
Either Fetterman or Newsom are going to be the new leaders.
It's going to have to reconfigure.
That Kamala era is over.
There'll be some people who think, maybe AOC, she's beautiful, and they're right about that.
She surely is.
But it's not going to go that way no more.
That's collapsed.
And even the Bernie moment's over.
What you're going to get is either a double-slick person like Newsom, who's willing to appease the right.
He's going on Charlie Kirk now.
We'll have a look at that.
Or it's going to be someone like, what did he call it again?
Fetterman.
Fetterman.
Fetterman sounds like what might be growing in the gusset of his underpants.
Let's have a look at Kirk and Amman Newsome.
We are losing.
I feel it's asymmetry of Donald Trump and Elon Musk sending out tweets or you doing social media and me doing a three-minute hit at three o'clock in the afternoon on CNN. I mean, how the hell do we compete?
We're toast.
Well, I mean, I'm part of it, and credit to you for doing long-form podcasting, because long-form podcasting does penetrate different audiences, right?
And our show does very well, but...
I like Charlie Kirk.
We had a little reframe during that.
I like Charlie Kirk, don't you?
Like, what I like about him is he's sort of, um...
I imagine him at school, he'd have been wanting people when he was 14, was like nine foot tall or something, and still probably not good at basketball.
I like him, I'm not criticizing him.
He does very well, but...
Part of the problem of the Democrat Party that for the health of the country would be great to change is that Democrats cannot survive in long-form podcasting environments.
Why?
It's too unscripted.
It's too masculine, honestly.
And the Democrat Party's become too feminine.
What is masculine about a podcast?
Honestly, because I get the whole man...
It's good, this.
This is actually pretty good.
Because, like, Gavin Newsom...
It's getting confronted with how media has altered.
And it's so extraordinary.
Because of the pomposity and self-regard of the left, it's so, they're baffled that emergent vanguard media has come from the right.
It's extraordinary to them.
They thought they had a stranglehold on it because it's like, for them, it would be like some sort of Oscar-winning foreign language film with the vanguard.
This is a film.
It's so fucking boring you're going to kill yourself.
Like about people that live on the edge of a swamp.
It's in a language you can't begin to comprehend.
This is the vanguard.
I was going to some concert.
You know when you're at school and they tell you, we're going to some concert now.
Are you going to bore us to death with this?
Yes, we are.
And you're going to like it.
You're going to like it.
Now, we were told that the vanguard was going to emerge out of liberalism and the left, and they sort of saw themselves as inextricably alloyed to the civil rights movements out of your country from the 60s.
It's all broken away.
What they've done is they've sanitised them civil rights movements into innocuous gestures that tile over the real problem of social justice without ever addressing it.
They have lost their way when it comes to new media environments.
Anyone in independent media is going to make mistakes.
Me or, you know, I don't know, say someone like Lex Friedman.
In a way, Joe Rogan now is in a territory out on his own because I would say he's gone full Oprah.
I don't mean that internally.
I mean that his amassed media power is...
Sort of like Oprah.
If you look back at that deal he's done with Spotify for 100 million, the next deal he does is going to be for more than that, isn't it?
It's going to be for more, not less.
His influence and power has increased.
So when Gavin Newsom says, Gavin Newsom says like, what do you mean it's masculine?
How is it masculine?
The answer that...
So that really is, well, to go into those environments, you've got to know what you're talking about and you're going to have to step away from talking points that have been prescribed by the people that told you to do a TikTok dance and that that would be cool.
You're going to have to be able to, as Kamala couldn't, go answer questions.
Like, you know, if Kamala Harris had gone on Joe Rogan, he'd have said, well, what about were you the border czar or not?
Do you take responsibility for the border or not?
What do you mean by that?
When she, say if she ventured into one of her, be unburdened by what might have been, you can see that Joe Rogan would...
Ask her to distill that into some kind of meaning.
People sometimes think that my verbosity is irracinated and disconnected, but it ain't actually.
I know what I'm saying.
I hope you do as well.
That's the point of communication.
But that kind of empty rhetoric of political figures, that won't work in a podcast environment.
Even if, say, if I went on saying like Piers Morgan, you know that Piers Morgan's going to go, well, why do you think all this stuff's happened?
Why do you think all that stuff happened in the UK? Or what do you mean that Ukraine is the new pandemic?
You have to unpack what you mean.
And I actually think I might watch that whole of, I won't, I'll never have the time, but part of me would like to watch all of Gavin Newsom.
On Charlie Kirk to see how he copes in that environment.
Yo, Isaac, can you come and help me?
Because I'm trying to refresh the locals thing and I can't.
I can't get it to you.
I can't find the cursor, man.
I can't find the cursor.
So, like, I admire Gavin Newsom.
Look at him not crossing behind, isn't he?
What a sweetheart.
What do you think this is?
1985. You're not on The View.
Yeah, like, I can't find the cursor on there.
So, like...
I'd like to watch all of Gavin Newsom on Charlie Kirk just to see how someone who's...
He is avowedly centrist.
He's the American Trudeau, isn't he?
Gavin, let me know in the comments in chat.
The graphic won't appear because the guy who fires up the graphic is standing right there.
But you let me know.
There he is, Isaac.
There's a fellow Leon.
That's his baby.
Like, Gavin Newsom is...
Yeah, he's the...
I call him the American Trudeau, don't you think?
I'm not a boomer.
I'm not that fucking old, Mary J. Yeah, I swear I'm cursing a little bit.
I'm cursing a bit because I'm angry about something.
I'll find it in a minute.
I'll find it.
It'll come out.
It'll find its way to...
Trudeau isn't a centrist.
They're sort of centrist.
You can't have globalism without centrism.
Newsom a centrist.
Yeah, I think so.
What do you think real radicalism would look like?
Do you think that real radicalism is the MAGA right?
Do you think that real radicalism is nationalism?
Do you think that real radicalism is in any way the support of commercial and corporate interests?
Of course it isn't.
Real radicalism is the spiritual world is the priority and how we act politically and materially is totally informed by and guided by the spiritual world.
That's radicalism.
We live by faith, not by sight.
That's radicalism.
That's radicalism.
Let's get back into this.
Aren't you upset that Don Jr. and Kimberly aren't together?
Yeah, I didn't know.
I just found out.
I'm a bit upset because I like marriages to work, man.
I support the institution.
Because I get the whole manosphere.
To go into the wilderness with no rules and duel it out and see who's better or who's stronger.
No, seriously.
That's a good answer.
That's a good answer.
Or who's strong?
No, seriously.
I mean, like...
Democrats can't.
No, I mean, like...
We don't do it.
You're right.
For whatever reason, don't do it.
You can laugh, but, like, who in the Democrat party...
We're not.
You're right.
...will go?
I mean, maybe Bernie Sanders, but he only...
RFK when he was a Democrat.
Bobby, who's now...
Yeah, HHS. But, like, there's something to be said that if you want to earn...
Case in point.
And at case in point, the kind of people that can do it eventually leave the party because the party wouldn't let them do it.
That's brilliant.
There's something to be said that if you want to earn the respect of Forgotten America...
You have to show them that you can intellectually joust with no script, no hard...
Intellectually joust!
Intellectually joust!
With no script, no hard breaks, no producers in the ears, no teleprompters.
That's where new media is going.
Now, I will only challenge one thing.
He's Gavin Newsom.
He's got something about him, isn't he?
Like, he's got something about him, if you see him there.
Don't you think?
He's, like, not nothing.
He's not a nobody.
I loved it.
What's that dude in LA whose podcast I went on?
Adam Carolla.
That geezer beasted him.
I'll only challenge one thing you say.
I am reaching new audiences.
I'm not talking to my bubble.
Because our content is so appealing, it goes in a decentralized way.
And it's not just political.
No, it's not political.
But again, our conversation here is going to go far and wide.
A lot of people are going to see it.
A lot of people are going to consume it.
Because it's also politics and entertainment have...
Begun to overlap, right?
And the old adage is, well, politics is downstream.
X is down again.
Get over to Rumble.
Get over and watch us on Rumble and Rumble Premium.
The Russians won't stop us.
In fact, you can't get Rumble in Russia because that's how radical we are on Rumble.
Join us over there.
We'll keep going on, you know, wherever we're not being cyber-attacked.
And let's have a quick look at our sponsors before we continue with that.
Are you a yo-yo dieter?
You lose weight, you gain the weight back again, you hate yourself, you be sick, you're standing in front of the mirror, you're crying, you're screaming the names of the Lord into a broken mirror.
That's got to stop.
It's time for you to try lean instead of that weird serial killer thing you were doing just before.
It's dangerous to be a yo-yo dieter.
Studies show that you can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, type 2 diabetes and other health problems.
Breaking free of your yo-yo diet pattern is the main reason doctors created lean.
Lean is a supplement, not an injection, and you don't need a prescription.
It's not like that crazy thing, a Zen pick, or whatever it's called.
The science behind lean is impressive.
It's studied natural ingredients target weight loss in three powerful ways.
Powerful way one helps maintain healthy blood sugar.
Powerful way two helps control appetite and cravings.
Powerful way three, it helps burn fat by converting it into energy.
That's three.
Powerful ways.
Listen, if you're tired of losing weight, then just gaining that weight back again.
If you want to lose meaningful weight at a healthy pace, Lean was created for you.
Let me get you started by offering you 20% off when you offer Brand20 at TakeLean.com.
That's code Brand20 at TakeLean.com.
Thank you.
You're a yo-yo dieter, I tell ye.
Yeah, yo, yo, dieter.
Wherever you're watching us, remember Rumble is our home.
Let's watch a bit more of this Charlie Kirk and Gavin Newsom.
We've got a lot of stuff coming up.
Join us on Rumble.
You get additional content from us.
Like today, we're going to run a little longer, do another half an hour.
Soon we'll be changing our time on Rumble.
We are not confused by daylight timing.
We are confused by the fact that Europe is becoming the...
We'll be covering that in a minute.
Let's continue now with Kirk and Newsom.
Politics is downstream from culture.
I think politics and culture are indecipherable from one another now.
Donald Trump became a cultural phenomenon, right?
You go into inner city Compton, you'll see guys with Trump shirts with the hand up, fight, fight, fight.
So what Democrats are doing is you're still playing in a very old, hyper-sanitized media environment.
And my advice is you've got to go where it's unpredictable, where it's treacherous, where it's dangerous.
Now, I would make a more provocative argument that you wouldn't necessarily resonate with, which is that you guys have not built the intellectual muscle over 30 years because you all agree with each other all the time.
Well, it's not like conservatives are massively disagreeing at the moment.
Trump has completely collapsed the conservative movement.
I would push back a little bit.
I would disagree.
We have a robust discussion.
It seems like Congress is really doing great oversight of Trump right now.
They're holding him to account.
That's an important but separate issue.
I just want to finish the point and then we can talk about Congress, which is that in the Republican Party, we have...
I think you would agree.
We fight about foreign policy.
Look at Ukraine, right?
We're talking about primary challenging some of these senators that were meeting Zelensky last week.
The Democrat Party would never do that.
Now, I think that is a symptom of an underlying thing.
We're constantly trying to find the approximation of what truth is.
We're trying to use dialogue towards, hey, who's Some prodigy on the Rumble chat.
Russell, honest question.
Are you worried about Europe succeeding in creating World War III with Russia?
Yes, I genuinely am.
And we're going to be talking about that in a minute.
We're going to be talking about the continent of Europe and what it means if Europe separates its destiny and identity from US politics.
Let's have a look at the rest of this Newsom and Kirk chat because I think this is...
I can't think of a more...
Interesting concoction, can you, where a genuine establishment figure and presumed future leader of the Democrat Party has spoken to someone avowedly of the right as sort of an explicit cultural and political conservative.
Hey, who's right?
What do you believe?
Why do you believe it?
And it's by no coincidence that out of the long-form podcasting genres, the top ten, eight of them are conservative or center-right.
Rogan.
Megyn Kelly, Theo Vaughn, the Paul brothers, our program, Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh.
There's a singular one on the left, which is Pod Save America, which is just like a bunch of Obama bros agreeing with each other for 90 minutes and saying that we're not very smart.
And, you know, and so anyway, but I appreciate it.
No, but objective truth, right?
I mean, you just dominate this media.
I mean, it's medium, but what, so what, I mean.
But it's interesting, you're making a deeper argument that we're not, and you didn't say it again in a maligning way, but that we're just not capable because we're not hardwired to be able to participate in this.
Well, I think that it's two things.
Number one, your upbringing in college campuses does not foster debate like it used to.
It just doesn't.
It's that it's about silencing the critic and the elevation of the victim.
So you do not have the practice of...
Robust having to defend your position.
It's very monolithic.
It's very centralized.
It's very top-down.
It's quasi-authoritarian.
And then secondly, I would just say that the philosophy on the worldview, as I mentioned earlier, that you guys have adopted is that thou which is oppressed will get the most points.
You guys don't have thou that has the best idea wins.
And because of that, you guys have an elevation of Like, hey, eventually we're just going to have a small subset of a minoritarian, hectoring, hall monitor assistant principal vibe of people telling you that you're not allowed to say these words and you can't say that.
And we call that political correctness, which in and of itself is hyper-authoritarian.
So if you seek to understand why young men are rebelling, it's like, no, I'm not going to go along with this anymore.
That's an interesting argument from Charlie Kirk.
Charlie Kirk and Gavin Newsom communicating is an interesting development in the cultural conversation and political conversation in your nation.
Because it's not by default that the right dominates the podcast and online space.
It's because that's a response to legacy media being...
Operated by the Democrat neoliberal movement.
That if you want your voice to be heard, if you want to hear opinions that resonate with you expressed, you're not going to find them on MSNBC or CNN or I don't know, man, or BBC, any of those places.
And I think that...
What we've seen is a migration to new media.
Maybe there's no reason why you couldn't have podcasters from the left.
Some people on Locals listed Kim Iverson or Jimmy Dore or Greenwald as all interesting figures that are not of the right, that succeed in these spaces.
But what the real challenge is and what the real problem is, if you ask me, is that globalism is an...
A peculiar movement that is continually masked and like all true dominating power, presents itself as natural.
That means that when it comes to a subject like COVID or Ukraine, what is presented as normal, follow the science or follow your humanitarian morals, is actually the veil over which imperial power...
Beneath which imperial power is masked.
We're going to be exploring that through the political events in Romania in just a minute and the recent arrest and ban of Carlin Georgescu.
This is going to really help us to understand new globalism.
Before we do that is a quick message from one of our partners.
Senolytics are the biggest discovery for promoting healthy aging.
The aging process obviously isn't our friend, unless I suppose, you know, there's eternal life.
But while we're here, we want to be energetic and productive.
That's why I use Qualia Senolytic, with science-backed ingredients that have helped me feel, I would say, 15 years younger in a matter of just months.
Everyone accumulates senescent cells, known as zombie cells.
These senescent cells are old and worn out and not fulfilling a useful function for our health, but they take up space and nutrients from our healthy cells.
Qualia senolytic removes zombie cells and allow healthy cells to thrive.
Resist aging at the cellular level.

Who don't want to feel 15 years younger and get rid of them zombie cells?
Let me know what you think about the Charlie Kirk and Gavin Newsom conversation in the comments and the chat.
Wherever you're watching us, X, probably not, keeps collapsing, don't it?
Cyber war!
Cyber war and cyber trucks!
Does anything with the word cyber in front of it lead to any good cyber crime?
God curse you, Airbnb!
Give us back our holiday money!
Listen, wherever you're watching us, click the link in the description, get on over and watch us at Rumble.
Come over now.
We're going to be talking about Romania.
This is a brilliant bit of writing by Arnaud Bertrand.
He helps to understand how the arrest and ban of Georgescu, who was winning the presidential campaign out there in Romania, has subsequently been arrested and banned from campaigning.
It shows you that Romania, and therefore the EU, who endorses actions, are closer to tyranny than democracy.
And all around the world, all these wars that are declared are meant to be in the name of democracy.
Join us over on Rumble now.
Let's have a proper conversation together, try and understand all this nonsense and build something.
Beautiful.
Together.
Click the link.
Come on over.
This is a brilliant piece of writing.
Do you wonder what's going on in Romania?
Do you wonder what democracy means?
Do you wonder what globalism is?
Is it a nefarious and peculiar thing?
A difficult thing to understand because it's too diffuse?
Let me unpack it for you.
During COVID, we learned that globalism was when bureaucratic agencies, either national and global, appear to act in coordination with corporate and commercial entities to create a central sovereignty that denies the voices of individuals.
That's what globalism means.
And what it does the whole time is it tells you that it's helping you.
Look at what's going on over in Romania, in Europe right now.
This dude, Carlin Georgescu, he was this writing by Arnaud Bertrand, who we learned about because of Glenn Greenwald.
This guy helps you understand it.
Why I reckon this is a good perspective to start with is he is avowedly of the left.
Check this out.
There's no overstating how insane this is.
He means the ban and arrest of Karlyn Giorgescu.
In a normally functioning media environment, it will be a scandal of enormous proportions.
Question, why isn't it a scandal of enormous proportions?
After cancelling, based on a now-debunked lie, the presidential elections that Giorgescu was winning, they cancelled elections!
Romania has now barred him from even running at all.
Let me know in the comments and chat what you think about that.
Is that what tyranny looks like now?
Is that what globalism is?
A country has a national election in Romania where I've never been.
I've got no skin in the game.
I don't care what goes on in there.
Do you?
Do you care what goes on in Romania other than it ought be built on democratic principles if that's what it claims it's about?
That surely should be happening.
Agree or disagree with his political ideas?
I'm afraid Rojasco is right here.
This is the writing of the brilliant Arnaud Bertrand.
This shows that Romania, and by extension the EU, that's obviously more significant because Romania is sort of a sovereign nation.
It's just a little place in Europe.
But the EU, you're a crag body.
Comparable to what?
NATO, comparable to what?
WHO, WF, World Bank, IMF. When people talked about globalism back in the Naomi Klein days, when talking about globalism was a leftist, Hey, what are all these bureaucracies that seem to be there just to facilitate advanced global capitalism?
That ain't the argument no more.
Now, it's the right that are making those arguments.
That's why you've got your Jimmy Dawes and your Glenn Greenwalds lining up and agreeing with, peculiarly, occasionally, with figures on the right, like those that have just been listed by Charlie Kirk there when we were talking about Gavin Newsom.
Remember to check that out if you're watching this somewhere else.
Here's a small reminder of what happened by Arnaud Bertrand.
First, Georgesco...
Unexpectedly won the first round of Romania's presidential election in November through what appeared to be a highly effective social media campaign.
Social media has changed the political landscape.
Of course it's changed it in terms of advertising and marketing.
We all behave in different ways now online.
It's unthinkable, isn't it, that 20 years ago we'd have done the majority of our consuming remotely?
How extraordinary that is.
Well, what's changed politically is now you don't get your news from the BBC or MSNBC or any of the other centralised media.
You get it from a whole host of bespoke media operators.
And while someone like David Icke would say, you're not conspiracy theory enough, or you're too willing to sort of kowtow to Elon Musk or Trump or whoever, the fact is, is you've got access to a wide range of political and cultural opinions.
And because of X, you know, David Icke is allowed to go on X and criticize someone like Elon Musk.
The media landscape has changed forever.
It was only a matter of time before that changed politics.
Trump was one of the first beneficiaries of that change, along with the Brexit movement in the UK, and the countless other, now no longer anomalous, right-wing political leaders cropping up all over Europe and the world.
Now, it seems that the EU are trying to stop the rot with Romania, because, you know, Romania, I'm sure the EU can surrender that.
I don't know how powerful and significant Romania is economically, but we do know that Germany and France and Italy, these are significant countries, even though Italy is now run by a somewhat right-wing figure.
France did everything within its power, as did Germany, to prevent right-wing or nationalist movements coming to prominence.
Now I'm actually, in spite of what you might read, not right-wing and not a rapist.
Two extraordinary facts about me.
But what I am is a supporter of actual democracy and the will of the people and decentralization in the broadest possible terms, i.e.
the sovereignty of the individual and the sovereignty of the community based on...
Ballot.
Based on conversation.
Based on communication.
That way, if communities were run like parishes or boroughs or dioceses with maximum democracy, you could have one community that was super trans and fluid and you could have another one that was super Christian and conservative and it wouldn't matter because ultimately we're all on this bandwidth for a limited amount of time before the inevitability of death and perhaps the great hope of eternity for those of you that believe in such things like I do.
But while we're here, we've got to have some agreed upon universal principles like sacrifice, duty, kindness, love.
All of which has been co-opted by this globalist movement that peculiarly, in the holy name of its endeavour, is shutting down democracy.
It's a bit like the Christian Crusades, where in the name of Christianity, Christians marauded across the world, killing people.
Like, you know, hold on a minute, have we got sidetracked?
Maybe.
Maybe we got sidetracked.
Or the crises in the Catholic Church, where if you find entrenched institutional pedophilia, you maybe have lost your way a little.
The same thing's happening with globalism based on humanitarianism.
Your Klaus Schwab style, we have to penetrate every government in the world.
And when we've lubed them up and penetrated them, finally we'll have democracy and potentially hemorrhoids if you penetrate too deeply.
Let's look a little more at what's going on over there in Romania.
So, social media is changing the political environment.
That's obvious.
That's why they want to introduce censorship and prohibit free speech, because they can see it's impossible to maintain centralised power if you have diversity of thought.
The first beneficiaries, as we saw in the Gavin Newsom and Charlie Kirk conversation, have been the right, because centralised media tends towards and trends towards what I would call the centralised left, i.e.
you're not radically of the left if you ultimately support corporations and companies.
Remember, I'm English, so when I talk about the left, I don't mean Sieg Heil or Soviet Unionism.
I don't mean National Socialism, like the Nazis, and I don't mean Soviet Socialism, like the Russian Soviet Union folks.
I mean, socialism derived from Christian principles, i.e., when Jesus Christ says, give up all your gear and follow me, pick up your cross and follow me, easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man who went to heaven.
It's kind of an indication that if you worship money, you're going to get yourself in some serious trouble.
So, when you look at your political leaders, ask, what does their God appear to be?
Whether that's a dull, tedious bureaucrat like Thierry Breton, the EU operator that's down for cancelling elections, or maybe a demagogic figure who you admire and adore because of their panache and charisma and rhetorical style.
If what they worship isn't God, i.e.
the highest principle, love, devotion, togetherness, then what you've got yourself there...
Is some form of bullshit.
Let's get deeper.
Then Romania's constitutional court annulled the victory of Georgescu.
And cancelled the elections altogether, primarily citing alleged Russian influence.
Oh!
Russian influence!
Hey, this election, we would have honoured it, but there was Russian influence.
You heard that before?
Let me know in the comments and chat where you've seen Russian influence cited as the reason to delegitimise democracy before.
Have you seen it in your country, for example?
I don't know.
Let me know.
Primarily citing alleged Russian influence, along with claims of undeclared campaign financing and fraudulent use of digital technologies.
Yet it's now crystal clear, crystal clear, transparent, that this cancellation was based on a complete fabrication.
What?
Let me know in the comments and chat if you've heard of other Russiagate declarations that have proven to be...
Utterly unfounded and later debunked.
As I previously detailed, the declassified Romanian intelligence documents that served as justification for cancelling the election contained no actual evidence, evidence of foreign interference or manipulation.
They merely documented a social media campaign involving 25,000 TikTok accounts coordinated through Telegram channels, completely standard practice in political campaigning.
In effect, an entire presidential election was cancelled on the grounds of existence of a coordinated social media campaign on TikTok that the...
You know who uses TikTok?
Kids?
Yes.
Prostitutes?
Yes.
Everyone?
Yes.
But also Russians.
So we're cancelling the election!
Like, do you see how it works?
You decide on an aim, and then how do you get to that aim?
The objective is cancel this election.
Oh no, but aren't we pretending that we're a democracy?
Yeah.
Alright, how do we still claim we're a democracy and also cancel the election?
Russian interference?
How can we claim Russian interference?
Well, don't the Russians sometimes go on TikTok?
They do.
They do.
And did these people go on TikTok?
What we got ourselves here is the legitimization for a cancelled election.
You could use it for anything.
If you want to cancel an election or a person, firstly make that choice, then work backwards from there.
We want to cancel that person.
How should we do it?
I don't know yet, but we'll find something, because no motherfucker's perfect, I'll tell you that much.
For all his faults...
Now, let's do this bit here.
So, what's even more insane...
Even more insane, subsequent investigative reporting by Romanian journalists revealed that the TikTok campaign cited as evidence of Russian interference was actually funded by the ruling National Liberal Party itself.
What?
The same party that supported cancelling the election paid over 1 million ron, that's their currency I guess, to a marketing firm called Kensington Communication.
Now they make themselves sound legit.
Hello, we're Kensington Communication.
Like, that's literally the name of the love interest in an Austin Powers movie.
Have you ever seen that brilliant video?
Oh, man, where they say that Austin Powers was the end of irony.
It's a really, really good video.
Oh, you'd love it, Isaac.
I could do a whole video on that.
In fact, I'm going to pitch that as one of my things for new content, the breaking down of that video for our thing in a minute.
Victoria Kensington.
Okay, so Kensington Communication to run the very campaign later characterized as foreign interference.
So this whole thing...
Huh, sound familiar?
Yes, that's what globalism is now.
We have an agenda, we have a raft and roster of global politicians that we can get into place in Canada, in the UK, in the USA, in Romania, wherever, so that when there are global meetings, we've got our man or woman in place, ready to go, so that the decrees delivered in...
And these G7 meetings or NATO summits or WF Davos passes are in alignment with what we want.
And we can still call it democracy.
And if anyone denies it, it's Russian interference or you're a rapist or you're a racist.
We'll find some our word to shut your shit down with.
Let me tell you that.
Even now, as Georgesco leads in the polls ahead of the rerun, they've taken the extraordinary step of barring him from participating in the elections entirely.
What?!
In the name of democracy, we are banning this popular candidate.
In the name of democracy, we are having all of these rival parties conglomerate and form an alliance against parties that are against significant votes.
I'm referring to the German election, or the Dutch election, or the Italian elections, or the French elections.
That's how they run this shit, no?
What's even more disturbing is how this fabricated narrative of Russian interference continues to be propagated at the highest levels of European leadership.
Just four days ago on March 5th, in a televised address to the French people, Macron stated as fact, President Putin's Russia violates our borders to assassinate opponents, manipulates elections in Romania and Moldova.
It organises digital attacks against our hospitals to block their operations.
This casual repetition of a thoroughly debunked claim.
Let me know in the comments and chat how often you've seen thoroughly debunked claims.
The irony is when Obama says at Stanford we have to stop misinformation and disinformation because even if you yourself are intelligent enough to discern the truth for yourself, a lot of people aren't and it muddies the water.
The delicious irony is that that is their very tactic.
By them, I mean the sets of interests that previously we understood to have captured mainstream media and the bureaucratic agencies that are influential around the world in matters of health and finance and war and pandemics, generally speaking.
Let me know in the comments and chat if you agree with that.
This shows how deeply embedded this fiction has become to the European political establishment's narrative.
A convenient bogeyman to justify overriding democratic processes when they produce undesirable results.
For all his faults, J.D. Vance was spot on on this topic in his Munich speech.
He specifically pointed to Romania as a prime example of Europe's retreat from its values.
Which one of them memes of JD Vance do you like most?
Why are people taking such joy in having him with a puffy face?
Why is that?
And post in the comments and chat, your favourite J.D. Vance puffy face meme, because I'm confused by it, like making him look like that little Chucky.
Why is that happening?
Let me know, I don't understand it.
Am I old?
Am I officially old?
Is this how I found out I was old?
Here is J.D. Vance at that Munich thing.
I was struck that a former European commissioner went on television recently and sounded delighted that the Romanian government had just annulled an entire election.
Yeah, I saw that, Breton, that...
Dude, for years we've been told that everything we fund and support is in the name of our shared democratic values.
Everything from our Ukraine policy to...
To digital censorship is built as a defence of democracy.
Have you noticed that?
Yes, I've noticed it.
But when we see European courts cancelling elections and senior officials threatening to cancel others, we ought to ask whether we're holding ourselves to an appropriately high standard.
Good point by J.D. Vance.
He's another one of them people that I've met a couple of times.
And when I see him mugged off, coated off, criticised by them liberalists and those peculiar centrists and those peculiar globalists that have captured the media space, I think he's alright when I met him.
He seems like a nice bloke.
Again, I'm under no illusions that Vance himself is hypocritical here.
He conveniently failed to mention that the US State Department in his own country was actually first to raise concerns about Russian involvement in Romanian elections on December 4th, essentially providing cover for what followed.
Furthermore, his support for Georgescu likely stems not from principal defence of democracy, but from ideological alignment with that side of the Romanian political spectrum.
And in this sense, he's probably no better than the EU officials he criticised.
On the face of it, his commentary on this specific situation was correct.
Have you ever heard of that person?
He's called John Rolls.
A mate of mine wrote a book about him once.
John Rolls can be understood, at least in the most basic sense, he's obviously a lot more complicated than this, than...
By this simple idea.
If you have two kids and you've got to get them to share pizza, you would say to one kid, you cut the pizza, you choose which slice to take.
Meaning, if you didn't know which bit of society you were going to get or which role within a society you were going to be playing, what type of society would you want?
You would want a fair society, wouldn't you?
And when you're raising your kids, you're raising them with a sort of sense of fairness and justice.
I, extrapolating on these ideas of roles, say this.
You shouldn't need to know the flag or name of a nation or tribe when talking about conflict.
You should just have the conflict described neutrally.
There's an external aggressor that is very, very powerful encroaching on the territory of a weaker nation.
Oh yeah, yes.
But prior there was some provocation.
Oh yeah, yes.
And after the provocation though, it seems that the response was unduly martial and bellicose.
Okay, well, before I tell you what I think, can you tell me, do you mean Russia and Ukraine or Israel and Gaza?
I'm not going to tell you!
I'm not going to tell you!
You have to decide if there's a principle there!
You have to decide if there's a principle there!
Oh.
Oh.
So there are principles.
There is a God.
There is a deeper reality.
Let me know in the comments and chat where you fall on that matter without knowing whether I'm not talking about, whether I'm talking about Russia or Israel.
Because guess what?
I've not even decided in my own head which one I'm talking about.
So let me know in the comments and chat if you could go, yes, but the reason that's different is because I agree with this one and I didn't agree with that one.
Ah!
Transmute!
Transmute!
Having to discover a principle!
Having to discover a principle!
Ah!
Let's get to the end of this article.
And wherever you're watching us, we will be on...
Russell took the...
I'm not took the Trump Kool-Aid, baby.
I'm not a Trump Kool-Aid.
I don't feel like there are any political solutions available.
You are the power.
You have a direct interface with the limitless glory of the universe.
May you find it now.
May you be aware of the false idols that you worship.
May I be aware of the false idols that I worship.
Come on, this finished the cycle.
It's pretty good stuff here.
We're getting cleverer by the second, aren't we?
What do you think, Letzu?
What do you think, Go Start?
What do you think, Second?
What do you think, Chris Pope 505?
Here we go.
We did that.
Foreign interference.
All in all, the Romanian situation exposes a terrifying truth at work in European politics today.
Democracy is celebrated only when it produces the correct results.
When voters choose candidates deemed unacceptable by the political establishment, suddenly the democratic process itself becomes suspect, allegedly compromised by foreign interference or other conveniently vague threats.
As such, what we're witnessing in Romania isn't merely a local political dispute.
Cool.
It's the canary in the coal mine for European...
European democracy, yes!
As a whole, if an EU member state can cancel a legitimate election and then bar the winning candidate from running again without meaningful consequences, what's to prevent this playbook from being deployed elsewhere?
The mask has slipped and what's underneath it is very ugly.
Brilliant writing there from Arnaud Bertrand.
We were put onto him by Glenn Greenwald, who's another Rumble Premium contributor.
We're going to go over to Rumble Premium in about four minutes to talk about other aspects of fascism in Europe.
Steam Files.
We're going to be talking about Ian Carroll's appearance on Rogan.
I found that pretty entertaining, the stuff that I watched.
If you don't have break bread, if you don't have Rumble Premium yet, get Rumble Premium now.
It really helps us.
You'll be informed of all our moves and changes.
Let's have a look.
A few days ago, I'm sitting with the president.
That's me with Sean Foyt, who's regarded as a right-wing Christian figure.
With the president of Iraqi Kurdistan, with his whole cabinet, right?
I'm American.
They obviously know I'm Christian.
They are asking me questions about how we do things in America according to our Christian values.
And what I think is wild, I feel like it's time for us to just start repeating what many of the founding fathers have said.
America is a Christian nation.
It doesn't mean that you can't be of another faith and live here, right?
It doesn't mean that you can't.
Be a Muslim or a Hindu or Buddhist or agnostic or whatever.
But this nation is a Christian nation.
And there are Muslim nations and there are Hindu nations.
And there are Buddhist nations.
And when you come to America, we're a Christian nation.
And I don't know why that's such a difficult thing for people to realize.
That is something that not only did the people in that room all agree with that, they're fascinated by it.
They're fascinated by it.
How it works.
And they're fascinated by the way that we pray and the way that we do things.
And I think that there really is, like, we have an opportunity right now in America to reshape, redefine, and remind this nation God has his hand on this.
Now, at the same time, I have to ask, well, what is God's role with this country?
But, you know, God has a plan on this country.
We're going to celebrate our 250-year-old birthday next year.
Still a baby, you know.
But yet it's undeniable that God's hand's been on it.
And I think it's silly to try to say that it's anything but a Christian nation.
There you go.
Let me know what you think about that in the comments in the chat.
Can you have such a thing as a Christian nation?
Can these ideas coalesce and align?
Hey, remember to get Rumble Premium.
And let me know too what you think in the comments and chat about the...
Let me know what you think about the...
Romanian elections, the cancellation of the results and the arrest of political candidates in Romanian nations and the extraordinary repackaging...
Let me know if the Russian interference narrative is a way that you might detect that a globalist agenda is being pursued.
I'm sure Russian interference is a real thing.
Let's have a look at various responses from Russian news.
We've got a variety of people that we know and admire from across the political spectrum here.
Right, so firstly, Mike Benz.
Europe has cancelled more elections than Russia.
EU President Ursula von der Leyen...
Found the time today to tweet about giving more money to the military-industrial complex and bringing in more migrants, but not a peep on EU member Romania cancelling elections to stop an EU skeptic from winning.
Very, very telling.
I mean, I suppose it makes sense because if you are the EU, you don't want...
The EU to be bereft of members.
You don't want nations departing.
So here's Clint Russell.
What does he say?
Quick primer in Romania.
Right winger wins election.
Election gets cancelled by EU. New election process begins.
EU bans him from running.
NATO base is being built to wage war on Russia.
Romanians don't want it.
EU NATO demons don't care.
Then they lecture about democracy.
If they're trying to build a base over there, if that's true...
And it is, isn't it?
It will be.
Michael, then it just shows you that there is a globalist agenda and we are seeing how that plays out.
And the thing that I think I find most offensive is their continual claim that they're helping us.
Michael Tracy said, every grandiose EU lecturer on democracy must now have a mandatory sitcom laugh track.
