Time Text
Thank you.
We're going to see the future.
you
Hello, you Awakening Wonders.
Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brown.
I think I'm called that.
It's something like that.
Listen, it's going to be a fantastic show.
Thank you so much for the raid, Mug Club, Tim Pool, all of you, wherever you're watching this, YouTube.
Hey, baby.
You'll have to join us eventually on Rumble and get Rumble Premium if you want to have an ad-free, sexy experience because that's what we are offering you here.
Join us.
Let me know in the comments and chat what you think when we talk about Building 7 and conspiracies more generally and the resurgent, re-emergent Christianity as discussed by Charlie Kirk and Bill Maher.
It's going to be a brilliant show today.
You're going to love it.
For the first 20 minutes or so, we'll be streaming everywhere.
Great rivulets of...
Filthy stream accessible to all, but eventually we'll just be on Rumble Premium.
First, conspiracy theories are now conspiracy facts.
We all know that.
Once you have Bobby Kennedy, excuse me, once you have someone like Bobby Kennedy taken from the very periphery and the margins and placed at the centre of political power, all bets are off.
But did you ever think you would hear 9/11 discussed like this?
Thank you for choosing Fox News.
Good news.
Now here's the fucking news.
Oh no!
They lied to us!
We know they lied to us about 9 /11.
What else are they lying about?
We all know when these great ruptures and echoes emerge in our culture that they're an indication of a deep ulterior truth.
And 9-11 was the fall of the Tower of Babel.
9-11 was the end of the West.
9-11 was the invention of a new type of terrorism that required intervention.
It is likely laced with biometric data about the true culprit behind real global power.
Once it was the neocons, then it was the neoliberals.
Who is in charge of the world right now, and was it ever thus?
Is there a deep, organised, evil intelligence behind the biggest events in world history?
Let's have a look at that.
While we see our friend Bernie Johnson talking to Senator Ron Johnson, just a couple of Johnsons enjoying their lives and having a chat, about Building 7. Building 7 remains significant, of course, because, you know, the North Tower got hit by a plane,
the South Tower got hit by a plane, and then this tower...
Out of sheer sympathy, in a Towers Lives Matter way, just it blew itself up out of solidarity.
Solidarity! What would you like to know about September 11th, the official story there, Senator?
Always struck by Benny Johnson and how handsome and clean he is.
Every time I see him, I think, if I was gay, I'd be gay with Benny Johnson.
He's so clean.
With Ron Johnson, I think, why are you doing this interview next to where you hang your coats up in the foyer?
Well, let's start with Building 7. Again, I don't know that you can find structural engineers other than the ones that have the corrupt investigation inside NIST that would say that that thing didn't come down in any other way than a controlled demolition.
Weird, isn't it, that we're talking about?
Controlled demolitions, grassy nulls, conspiracy theorist words, spike protein, all these words that were once the nomenclature of the mentally ill are now entering into the realm of legislature.
And necessary information.
They were lying about 9 /11.
They were lying about JFK.
They're lying about UFOs.
They're probably lying about ancient civilizations.
They're probably lying about cultism and child sacrifice.
The whole thing is actually...
Held together on a matrix of total lies, isn't it?
Isn't it?
The whole thing's a lie.
All of the institutions that we trust, if you were to investigate and interrogate them, you will find that they are laced together, threaded through with total deception and corruption.
I mean, you just look at that.
You talk about molten steel.
Again, you listen to the documentary Bravo 7. There's an awful lot of questions.
Do you see as well the themes that we became familiar with during the pandemic?
You can't talk about molecular biology and epidemiology.
You're not a scientist.
Follow the science.
Well, we did follow science, didn't we?
And we followed the scientists.
We found out that where they were leading us is to the very jaws of death and into incredible profits for Pfizer and Moderna.
All of those voices that were lauded and those figures that were heralded and held up as examples were deceiving us and lying to us.
The very reasons that you would intuit.
This grants the state greater ability to regulate, Big Pharma the opportunity to profit, Big Tech and the state the opportunity to surveil and censor, as well as the more generalised advantage of a docile, subjugated and compliant global population that can be controlled and exploited by elites.
All of that was revealed, and if you tried to have that conversation, you were like people who, way back in 2001, 2002, were saying, does steel melt at that temperature?
And people were going, oh, what are you then?
Are you an architect, are you?
Do you understand?
Are you a chemist?
When did you suddenly learn when steel melts?
And this leads us into that expert argument that rages to this day.
Who are you to have an opinion?
Who are you to care about this?
Well, who do I have to be?
Who do I have to be to be entitled to participate in the kingdom?
It turns out that it's not by my merit or your merit or anyone's merit, but by the sacrifice of Christ Jesus that all of us enter into this conversation.
And when you accept that you are loved and you are forgiven and you are powerful, you are not so easy to push around.
If you're willing to die for what you believe in and accept that that's going to happen anyway, you are going to die.
I just died.
Quietly, like a mouse on a hospital bed, eking out my last few breaths.
I died because of a bad diet.
I died because of migrating spike proteins.
I died because of a government conspiracy.
You're going to die.
If all of your gods are anchored to the material world, get ready for their departure.
Find the sublime, find the divine now, in order that you may empower yourself to serve.
Who ordered the removal and then destruction of all that evidence?
Totally contrary to any other firefighting investigation procedures.
I mean, who ordered that?
Who was in charge?
I think there's some basic information.
There's been a fire.
We need to get to the bottom of how this fire started.
Firstly, burn all the evidence, and then find out how that fire started.
Well, you started that fire, but where's the evidence?
Hey, what are you doing?
I'm burning it.
What are we to be in?
An endless loop of fires?
What are we, investigators pursuing the truth, or are we the prodigy?
Where's all the documentation from the NIST investigation?
There are a host of questions that I want, and I will be asking, quite honestly, now that my eyes have been opened up, I've talked to...
Incredible eyes they are as well, Ron Johnson.
Look at those piercing blue, lovely eyes that I looked into at the RNC.
Now, look upon with yet more favour.
It's interesting, isn't it, that there are, in fact, people in the Senate and people in Congress that are interested in discovering the truth, but institutionally, the imploding energy...
The way it seems to me that legislators and people involved in making laws get controlled is through the personal appetites.
The same way you control people in Hollywood.
The same way you control people anywhere.
If you can stimulate enough pleasure in people or enough fear in people, they're absolutely malleable.
You know that yourself, don't you?
But when your fear is heightened, you can't think straight.
When your desire is overwhelming, you can't think straight.
What we experience in extremis in the culture is generalised across it.
We may not have been to Epstein Island or bombed about on Epstein's private jets, but all of us are compromised in shame by a culture that stimulates us
If you eat a bunch of bad food, a stinking petroleum-dyed fodder, how do you feel afterwards?
I know how you feel before it, because I know how you feel when you're going to get a little bowl of cereal and ice-cold milk around it.
Sometimes that's my God, getting that bowl of Raisin Bran and sitting and watching the sitcom.
Well, actually, though, how do I feel after?
How do I feel when I'm leaden and heavy, intoxicated, full of their bad information, their bad movies?
Is any of it any good?
Do you really have a good time when you go to the movies or go to the mall or go to a theme park?
You know, that's why I took heroin the whole time.
At least it actually fucking works.
Former Congressman Kurt Weldon now, I will work with him to expose what he's willing to expose as well.
Wow, so we may actually see hearings about this.
In a way, if you try to fulfill yourself with worldliness by eating and drinking and fornicating and purchasing and pursuing status...
It might work for you if you're a person that can tolerate low thresholds, but some of us, and you know if you're one of us, an addict, an alcoholic, a desperate zealot after the Lord, you will find that it's never enough, that you will need worship, that you will need those appetites to be truly fulfilled.
Is this you?
Is this you?
Am I talking to you?
And if you're one of them, in the end all the worldliness will break down and you will have to...
Take drugs or drink too much in order to bludgeon and quieten it down.
And even that won't work in the end.
In the end, all that will work for you is God.
Indeed, the correspondence between Bill W., the founder of 12 Step Organizations, and Carl Jung, focused on this point illustrated in Psalm 42, is the deer panteth after the brook, so my soul panteth after thee.
The way that a hunted animal is looking for water, we are looking for the living water of our Lord, and if denied it, well...
You'll take something in the arm or through the throat.
You'll breathe in some chemical or inject some chemical.
You'll do something because you have to have God.
If this is you, let me know.
Let me know because there is an answer for you.
Wow. So we may actually see hearings about this.
I think so.
And by the way, this has opened up when my ranking member now, when he was chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee Investigation, he did the investigation on the PGA and Live Golf and the PIF.
Part of that is we had 9 /11 families coming forward and saying we want the FBI files unredacted.
We want those made available in terms of what happened.
What did the FBI know had happened?
So we got engaged with that on a bipartisan basis.
We want to get those answers, those documents for the families.
Again, we didn't get squat from the FBI.
So hopefully now with this administration, I think President Trump should have some interest in being a New Yorker himself.
What actually happened to 9 /11?
What do we know?
What is being covered up?
My guess is there's an awful lot being covered up in terms of what the American government knows about 9 /11.
Hmm, there's been a cover-up, but not the first and not the last.
This is the time of revelation and disclosure, where we're learning the degree to which we rely to during the pandemic, but also in the preceding years.
I imagine every single one of those events around which there are abundant theories has at least some further revelation to be made.
Look into celebrity deaths, the death of Diana, the death of Elvis Presley, the death of Michael Jackson.
Of course, any big event is going to conjure up discussion and controversy.
Even more, huge events like 9-11.
But we are living in a time of great revelation precisely because we are reorganising our understanding of reality as we become new wine in new wine holders, ready and prepared to take this fight to a new level at a new pace, recognising perhaps for the first time who the foe truly is.
The same foe that keeps you dumb, distracted, malnourished and masturbating is the chuckling puppeteer that manoeuvres dark threads behind global events.
That's just what I think.
Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
*Bad music* Here's the news.
Now here's the fucking news.
Okay, we'll be with you for a few more minutes if you're watching us on YouTube or wherever you're watching us.
We'll be back in a few minutes with our whole team chiming in about the news events of the week.
Before we leave you, here's a quick message from one of our partners.
Rough green!
Rough greens!
That's how my dog demands he's rough greens.
My dog's got health challenges.
We've all got a lot of challenges.
The simple truth is that most dogs aged over 10 years old will die of cancer.
Not turbo cancers, unless you've been vaccinating your dogs.
But life comes to an end.
But why should your dog's life come to a premature end?
It should.
Premature is never good.
Premature ejaculation, bad.
No one likes that, do they?
Oh, I'm sorry, dear.
It's a bad thing.
Don't have a premature dog death.
Give them rough greens instead.
50% of dogs over 10 will die of cancer, and the other 40 to 50% suffer miserably from skin issues or joint problems and premature ejaculation.
But why would you even have a time limit for how quick your dog should ejaculate?
What are you, pervert?
This is widely attributed to your dog's diet.
Give them a rough greens.
Rough greens.
I give my dog rough greens, even the one I don't like as much.
Give some rough greens to her as well.
I'm trying to have dog equality.
So here's the good news.
These numbers are what inspired naturopathic doctor Dennis Black to create rough greens.
Rough Greens.
With thousands of testimonials and five-star reviews every month, Rough Greens is now the number one all-natural dog supplement in the United States of here.
They have helped millions of pups like mine stay active and be healthy.
And your pup could be next.
You don't have to change your dog's food to improve your dog's health.
Just add a scoop of Rough Greens.
Fetch a free Jumpstart trial bag for your dog today.
You just cover the shipping.
We're going to give you a trial bag for nothing.
And if you're in Bogota, Colombia...
You can have one of them.
They hate that in Colombia.
Don't include that.
Go to roughgreens.com.
Just use the promo code RUSSELL.
That's R-U-F-F-GREENS.com.
And use the promo code RUSSELL.
Sausages. Sausages.
You don't have to change your dog's food to improve your dog's health.
Just add a scoop of rough greens.
You can just give a little scoop of rough greens.
Your dog will live forever.
Then your dog will eat you when you're dead.
That's the circle of life.
It's the circle.
It's the circle of life.
Ruff, gruff, gruff.
Click the link in the description if you're watching us on YouTube and get over to Rumble where me and the team will be talking about a variety of extraordinary events this week.
I'm very excited to discuss them with you.
Trump announces some mad new flags.
Putting up a beautiful, almost 100 foot tall American flag.
On this side and another one on the other side.
Two flags, top of the line.
And they've needed flagpoles for 200 years.
It was something I've often said, you know, they don't have a flagpole, per se.
He's adorable.
How can you not love that guy?
So sweet, talking about flagpoles and that.
Have you seen the Larry David piece saying that he's like a...
New adorable Hitler.
If you haven't seen that yet, watch that bit of content we made.
It's really, really good.
Babylon B, behind closed doors, Pope...
Peterson warns right, you'll implode like the left did with wokeism.
You also set that conversation up, but it poked up and made itself manifest in that conversation.
And the issue is, how do you identify...
The psychopathic pretenders, and it's even worse now, and then make a barrier, right?
Now, the right was calling for the left to do that for decades, and they didn't, and they couldn't, and the left is not good at drawing barriers, partly temperamentally.
The right is somewhat better, but there's no shortage of monstrosity there, and so then the question is, how do you draw the line?
And that's kind of what I was...
Because I've been watching these psychopathic types manipulate the edge of the conservative movement for their own gain.
And a lot of that's cloaked in anti-Semitic guise.
There's plenty of anti-Semitism on the left, too, by the way.
So it's not unique to the right.
You can get your anti-Semitism wherever you need it.
Yes, particularly now.
And so, you know, you've let your curiosity guide you.
Your curiosity and your desire for knowledge, this quest, you've let that guide you as a podcaster.
And by the way, I'm trying to work through exactly the same sort of thing.
How do you know, given your radical increase in stature over the last 10 years, how do you know when your curiosity and even your skepticism about the fact that things aren't the way that people say they are, because that's certainly been demonstrated in the last 10 years.
How should anyone?
I can see we've not got enough time to hear the answer to that, and I really want to know the answer to that.
I'm going to actually have to watch that podcast, as a matter of fact.
But before we get into that, here's a man who flirts with women using metaglasses while secretly filming them.
I want to see them.
What's the dating market for you, like, down here?
Oh, boy.
What do you mean?
Like, how has the dating market been?
What's up?
Camera. How you doing?
Camera. The camera's right there, bro.
Can I help you, bro?
Can I help you bro?
You camera alright?
You alright bro?
Are you alright bro?
Can I help you?
The camera's right there bro No f***ing way No f***ing way Get out of the way bro Are those the glasses dog?
Can I try them on?
What is your deal bro?
You that dude right?
You that dude right?
That's a really interesting clip and a very Furry man.
The federal government could not have invented the iPhone, right?
Like, I don't think anybody's...
Buttigage. Buttigage done fragrant.
Right. Many of us would want a phone that was, like, invented by the federal government.
That thing would suck.
That is, like, all of the design, the manufacturing supply chains, that's the kind of thing that corporations can do very well.
And Apple did it very well, and their competitors.
But... What makes the iPhone work?
Well, among other things, the internet.
The internet was literally invented by a federal research project.
No, I don't care what Peter Buttigieg feels about iPhones.
What I do care about is what British people in the 1950s thought about flu.
This is the country that I'm from.
This is the country that I love.
Britain. Look at ordinary British people and then think about how Britain's being governed now.
I take vitamin C and lemon barley and whiskey and that's enough for me, thank you.
I don't need none of your Pfizer or mRNAs to avoid spurt flu or swine flu or any of your flus or even fatty mercury, up the back pipe flu.
I can get by all of it with just vitamin Cs.
Well, I start the day with a good hot breakfast, Barry Jackson.
A good hard wank.
A nice wank and a hot breakfast and I made them for the day.
A good hot breakfast, Barry Jackson bacon.
And a drop of whiskey and tea.
People are drinking a lot when they're in the British working class in the 50s.
Then I'll damn myself a bit of whiskey and have a fistfight in my garden.
A whiskey and tea.
You can defy the virus then.
Ah, very good.
What about you, madam?
I believe in a good breakfast, but I also believe if you have got the...
That woman's like 25. You know, a lot of people in the old days, like, look old all the time.
Like, oh, she's got an air net on, glasses and that.
And this lady is 22 years old.
Well, I'm a beauty queen back home in Brighton.
The flu, rinse your inside out continually with boiled water about...
Rinse your inside out.
There's me outside, there's me inside.
I'll give that inside a good bloody well rinse, I will.
Boil water, about four or five half-pint glasses a day.
Boil water.
Well, my remedy for glue is to get a small Spanish onion.
I place that directly into my anus.
Merry Christmas.
Small Spanish onion, chop it up finely, and put some brown sugar over it and a little vinegar.
Love these people.
I love these people.
This is my country, man.
Sugar over it and a little vinegar.
And then when it's into a syrup, take a spoonful before it gets fed.
It's a very good remedy.
I say to Harold, you'll get a Spanish onion all of your own if you don't get your hands out from underneath them colours.
What you doing?
I see that tent, Harold.
What you doing?
What you doing, you saucy devil?
You'll make a dent in the pillow.
What you doing?
Trying to get an egg cups worth, half a tablespoon's worth of salty wonder out of yourself, you stinking animal?
Well, I'm a great believer in whiskey.
I'm just drunk!
And they're like, they're all like, there's remedies.
Well, I'm a great believer, get drunk every day, all day, get out there and beat the Irish.
Whiskey, I'm like the Scotchman.
I believe in a drop of whiskey, warm, and it sort of kills the germs.
I hope you're right, mate.
I'd love that.
I'd love to just get drunk.
I think I bought onions and marbleside.
Onions! Onions and booze!
That's what was holding Britain together, but we beat Hitler.
Marbleside there.
What's your recipe?
A jolly good hot rum punch.
Booze. And a jolly good sweating stuff in bed till it's all over.
I've got sweat in bed, and I don't mind what you have to do.
You can ride around all over me like a dolphin.
Sock in bed till it's all over.
Right? Well, my mother recommends an old sweaty sock with...
She does what?
...with salt around your throat, good pullover, and a good hot water bottle, and sweat it out, and then if you feel that you're not going to spread germs around, then get up.
You are going to spread germs around.
just wrap yourself up in a sweaty sock.
Build the heel up.
What do I don't do?
My old mum, she says.
You empty your gonads into that sweaty sock.
You caress that beast till he sticks himself up.
Half a teaspoon's worth of body muck.
Then you wrap that round your neck and that'll keep Satan apart.
Well, I think it's quite a simple ailment to deal with.
I take a jolly good dose of salt.
I like how people took it in days, eh?
Jolly good dose of salt.
Sweat it out.
I tie myself up.
I drink half a pint of whiskey and I go out into the yard and I'll strike an Irishman on the bridge of the nose.
Jolly good dose of salt and let nature do the rest.
Well, the best way that we find and the only way is the use of elderflower wine.
If you take a...
Oh, it's elderflower wine.
I see.
I see.
Well, I'm here with my American team.
We've seen what the United Kingdom has to offer.
And to see what we'll be talking about for the rest of the show, click the link in the description.
Jake, what are you bringing today?
Man, I'm just trying to recover.
I've been laughing for a long time.
I'm doing a little more crying.
Do you remember when I used to do that?
Comedy before everything got too intense.
I see the subjects we've got.
We're going to be talking about, is Pope Francis the last pope?
Because I felt when the queen died, there ain't going to be no more queens.
People are over royal families.
Don't make sense anymore.
We're outmoded.
We're over it.
Is he the last pope?
We're going to be looking at robots competing with sport.
Let us know in the comments and chat what you want to see next.
Netflix tax.
Oh yeah, let's do that.
Netflix tax.
In the UK, where they've realised people don't want to fund their filthy state media no more.
They're trying to stripe us up with a new tax.
And we're going to look at Pete Hegseff speaking at US Army College.
He's going to examine the promotion of the fat to leadership positions.
Yep, that needs to be examined.
You can't let them tubby wonders lead us into war.
Let's get into it.
Click the link in the description.
Join us over on Rumble.
Should mean something, like 1775 does.
I don't go anywhere about a bag of this, and sometimes I smuggle it illegally.
Up inside my own back pocket.
My special cow pocket.
What God give me in the back door.
Up it goes, 1775.
And if there's a burst in the bag, all the better.
Free colonic.
1775, a coffee that believes in freedom.
What kind of coffee are you going to get?
Weak coffee.
Coffee. Shivering, shaking, apologetic coffee.
For little nerfs and nerds and weaklings.
Oh no, you bloody well didn't.
You didn't just back off the redcoats of France, I think, was the country that you fought off, isn't it, to win the War of Independence?
You didn't fight off the French only to end up drinking coffee so weak and grey.
It's like something that Keir Starmer farted out of his arse as an apology for Covid.
Was that you?
Huh? You don't want something that looks like it's been wrung out of Hunter Biden's ball bag.
Huh? You don't want something that looks like Kamala would use it to dip her Doritos in.
And by Doritos, I do mean the popular snack.
Not the triangle of pubic hair that she calls her own home.
You can smell it.
Do you ever wake up and think I'd like to be a bit more clever, a bit more alert, and not feel like I was hit by a plank of existential dread?
Of course you bloody well do.
There's a solution, it starts with mushrooms.
Not Terence McKenna's style hallucinogens.
Although, why not, man?
Why not?
But also, this as well.
1775's Mushroom Coffee is going to elevate you to a new level of consciousness where you'll better cope with reality.
It's packed with lion's mane.
For focus.
Cordyceps for clean energy.
Chugga-chugga and turkey towel for immune support.
Take that, Freddie Mercury.
Reishi to help your body stay balanced while your mind goes full throttle.
Oh, carry the one.
Oh, I'm beautiful mind.
Oh, I'm writing with lipstick on a glass.
I'm beautiful mind.
I'm beautiful mind.
And it's all due to this son of a bitch.
No sugar sludge.
No frankenflavers cooked up in a DARPA basement.
Stinking stuff.
Just clean, powerful beans and brain-boosting mushrooms working together like the militia for your nervous system.
I had one cup and Jesus Christ appeared before me and told me it was my mission to make straight the paths.
He didn't, but I'm going to do it anyway.
Two cups I started communicating with dolphins via eyebrow movements.
I also shout down their blowholes.
I don't mind that.
That's 1775coffee.com, baby.
Small batch, single origin, made by people who still read banned books and question everything.
Every dollar you spend is a vote against nonsense.
And you don't have to scan your iris to buy it.
Just your anus.
No. You don't have to scan anything.
Go to 1775coffee.com.
Use the code BRAND.
To say 50%, drink the mushroom coffee that doesn't make you feel like you licked a garden in its hard-on.
Drink the kind of coffee that fuels rebellion, focus, and possibly minor psychic abilities.
The secret is, there is no spoon.
I think that's a pen, Neo.
Bloody idiot.
7075 coffee, use the code BRAND.
Jake, is it you that thinks that the Pope's going to be the last Pope airy they'll be?
Well, this is a video I saw, you know, it's like, in time right now, it's hard to see what's next.
You know, you can kind of see, like, oh, there'll be another president, there'll be another pope.
It all kind of feels new.
Like, where do we even go from here?
You talk a lot about it, new age, what's coming next, what is...
So this is a little, you know...
Some people want Mel Gibson to be pope.
He'd be a good, badass, bearded pope.
Some people want, like, these more kind of traditional...
There's some black geezer, isn't there?
There's, like, a bit more, I'm not having this trans crap type of pope.
So, where's it going to go?
Is the infrastructure of the Roman Catholic Church imploding, or is it, as the revival suggests, stronger than ever before?
You guys want to hear something terrifying?
The prophecy of the popes?
Oh boy.
This book was found in the Vatican archives.
Predicted every single pope from...
All these minions coming out of the Pope's midriffs.
From in 1143 all the way to our current Pope.
But the scary thing is, after Pope Francis, the last one, it just says Judgment Day.
Oh, gosh!
It literally ends after Pope Francis?
Yes. The creepiest thing that I saw inside St. Paul's Basilica, bordering the whole inner sanctuary, is every single Pope.
But what's weird is that there's only a certain amount of markers to where you can put a picture.
There's one left after Pope Francis.
They have always said that once that last slot is filled, it will be the end of the world.
What he predicted, the time it took to go from the first Pope that he wrote about, halfway mark, was 422 years.
And he's saying from the middle one to the end, another 422 years will be the end of the world.
If you do 422 years in the middle Pope,
That year is 2027.
Damn! It's even weirder.
Pope John XXIII, and he said that the end of the world would happen 2,000 years plus Christ's life.
So that adds up to 2027 as well.
Oh, no.
What do you think, Jake?
Is it the end times?
I mean, I feel like it's always the end times.
Yeah. And I think there's so many things in the Catholic Church that feel sort of like that.
It's like the whole Da Vinci Code.
What's your experience?
Besides lying to a priest on Christmas Day.
I did lie to a priest to get communion in a Catholic church on Christmas Day.
That's got to be a sin.
I'm fascinated by Catholicism.
I love the transubstantiation.
I love the Eucharist.
I believe it is the blood and body of Christ.
I'm down with that.
I like that it's sometimes, particularly now when I feel super crazy, I feel like I want tradition to hold me.
But sometimes I feel like Anything that's not explicit in the Bible is by its nature interpretive and I feel like generally institutions like to provide gaps and barriers and boundaries to control the living water and the holy power.
What seems to me to be happening more broadly than the death of this Pope is that so many things are changing so quickly, so many new elites are emerging while old elites collapse, that this is a...
time where we could see transition.
And it's pretty easy to fall into the superstition looking at like, oh no, they've only got one more Pope hole in the Vatican.
That's a good name for it, I think.
I think if you look at anything right now, we're talking about politics, life in general, it does feel like it needs faith to get us what's beyond.
Beyond what you know, beyond what you think you know, beyond what a leader was supposed to look like, or all the leaders they've tried to give us as here's what a leader's supposed...
It's going beyond all of this limitations into something new.
Yeah, it's interesting because it's like, as an individual, when you come to Christ, it's like when you run out of self, time to invite in Jesus.
And maybe the culture, the culture's running out of ideas.
Where are you going to go with this technology, longevity, supremacy, conquering new astral colonies?
You can see those ideas have been espoused, obviously, by very influential and powerful people like Musk.
Who else could espouse them?
But the idea of melding intelligence with AI and conquering Mars, to me, doesn't seem like...
The solution to the deep pain and yearning that I feel, which I can identify and feel is spiritual.
I feel like that's where everybody's going to have to get at some point.
Whether they fight it, keep fighting it, keep trying to fill it with any sort of thing that temporarily solved the void.
But you're going to have to arrive there at some point.
Thankfully he overcame death, but that's just what me and Jake think.
What do you think?
Let me know in the comments and the chat.
What could provide a useful distraction is a robot Olympics.
And we'll be talking about that robot Olympics with Luke in a matter of seconds.
We're going to leave you, if you're watching us on X now, click the link in the description, get on over here.
Luke, what are you talking about?
Why are you talking about, firstly, it's lovely to see you.
Good to see you too.
What did you think about them popes?
I think that I believe in the Bible, the whole Bible, and nothing but the Bible.
And we got to lean into that and lean into him.
And the world is constantly going to go all over the place.
Popes are going to die.
Leaders are going to come and go as they do.
And our rock has to be Jesus.
And that's it.
That's it.
And not a minion.
There was a bit where there was a minion in that Pope hole.
I thought, you can't have a minion.
They're not even the dominant characters in Despicable Me.
You'd have to have me as Pope, which I did see some people posting, sometimes with unkind overtones.
Massey, you seem to be being slowly seduced into the lure of the Lord.
Yourself, once we've got an atheist and a Jew to come over, our work will be done here.
Haven't you been off watching The Chosen or in endless worship over Easter or something?
My mum's staying with us at the moment, and she did a Chosen marathon while she was here, so season one to season four, and then season five was out at the cinema here, so she went and did like seven hours in the cinema watching The Chosen, and then afterwards we met her at church because she wanted to like experience the real thing,
unless she's a devout Catholic.
So yeah, I spent like a few hours in church.
It was, yeah, I remember what it was like being a kid.
I remember being there.
It was cool.
Become as little children, Massey.
You've got to become as little children to enter into the kingdom of the Lord.
And don't think we won't be pressing you further with our endless evangelism, for we will.
But first, Luke has brought us...
Well, Luke, why do you want to talk about sports robots for?
Where are you going?
So, essentially, this is the first humanoid race in Beijing.
It was a little over 13 miles long.
There were 12,000 people that raced in it in 21 robots.
And what stuck out to me is up until now, the fastest time that these manufacturers could get a robot to make that 13 miles was eight hours.
And for this race, which happened five days ago, they got a robot to do it in two and a half hours.
And all I'm seeing everywhere nonstop is robotics, AI.
It's growing, it's growing, it's growing.
And I mean...
Ten years from now, I feel like we're going to go into any given bar to get a cocktail, or any coffee shop to get a coffee, and it's the robot serving our coffee.
And it's going to be crazy.
But what about when we all thought he was going to be on booster packs, like the Jetsons and everything, and I hoped to live in an underwater igloo.
That still hasn't happened.
I still crave it.
Let's have a look at these robo-Olympics.
Luke reckons we're going to be...
Being served up by robot crack dealers in robot crack houses within a matter of months.
Can it be true?
They're getting closer to winning robot races against pudgy Japanese people.
They're undignified little bastards, aren't they?
The little ones and the long ones, they're like when you see a Kenyan marathon runner, but like...
too shiny.
Are its arms helping it, do you think?
Like, you know...
I'd say no.
Like, when you're a person running, you're meant to be using them, aren't you?
You can't just let them dangle down like sort of elephant trunks at your side.
I saw a person run like that this morning in my neighborhood.
That much arm movement.
Yeah, that's a racist.
No person who accepts all races as equal would pump the elbow like that.
It's a jagged, racist arm rhythm, I'd call that.
It's an anti-Semite.
What you saw was an anti-Semite possibly running after Isaac.
Don't help it up.
If you see Terminator, it's going to destroy all of us.
Kick it to death while it's laying there.
Well, I don't know, Luke.
It's not good.
I mean, when you see that robot technology coupled with those lifelike Japanese sex dolls, the possibilities are, well, they're not limitless.
There's one possibility, lifelike robot Japanese sex dolls.
Just six doll marathons.
People running.
It's dystopian live, isn't it?
When you watch that, do you feel heartened or dismayed?
Well, you made a funny point that they make them look kind of friendly, and I'm just waiting for the day to come where somebody makes the robot and it's got red laser eyes, and it does not look friendly.
So, for the most part, I'd like to think it's going to go somewhere cool, and then it's going to be an amazing thing, and we're going to have help from these robots, but...
I have a feeling, as the world normally does, it's going to run it into the ground.
So we'll see what happens.
Of course it will.
Of course it will, because their technology will ultimately be controlled by the most powerful institutions and elite interests in the world.
And they care about control, the preservation of the state is quite above all else.
You may realize, yeah, this whole race is just a propaganda thing.
It's to normalize it and make it kind of cozy, like them robot dogs.
What do people like?
Dogs. Make robot dogs, and then we're going to roll out the robot Gestapo.
They start with dogs and things you like, and then it will be hook arms and weird, nasty sort of robot Nazis chasing us through the streets, hunting us down, extracting our sperm, I'm assuming.
That's where those Japanese lifelike ones are going to come in handy.
So, yeah, them robots, let us know in the comments and chat whether you think this is a PR exercise being used to inoculate us too.
Do you think it's a lovely, harmless robot marathon?
It's weird that there's little kid ones and tall ones.
I think they should all be standardised.
That's one of my problems that I've got with it.
Alright, Massey, you've got, like, you wanted to talk to us about Netflix tax.
I'm assuming this is in the general context that the United Kingdom impose a media tax on the public in the form of a BBC licence fee.
If you have a television, you have to have a television license.
Increasingly these days, of course, people have televisions and don't watch the BBC or BBC iPlayer at all.
Probably because the BBC lied to them during the pandemic and it is an instrument of state power, lying and unbelievable, almost inconceivable bias.
And people don't want to participate anymore.
And even if they're not political, who wants to pay an additional tax?
Now, the government are introducing a kind of Netflix tax.
Alright, so in the UK people may not know that we have to pay a TV license to use our televisions.
We used to have like pet licenses, dog licenses, stuff like that back in the UK, back in the day.
But now they are talking, basically the TV license is there to pay for the BBC.
And the way they test whether you need a TV license or not used to be that they'd come around to your house and they'd see if you've got a TV.
And if you do, because you can receive the BBC, you've just got to pay the TV license.
But now because people have to stream everything and you can stream through iPlayer, they know who doesn't have the BBC because I just won't log into iPlayer.
And they're losing a lot of money.
And now they are basically talking about levying like a tax on Netflix and streaming services to make up for this revenue they've lost, basically.
They're trying to find a way of legitimising taxing, even though the raison d'etre for taxing people using their product has broken away and fallen away.
So, let's have a look.
Can I have control of the...
Thanks, man.
So, parliamentarians are backing the growing campaign for a Netflix tax to levy on all streaming giants to protect domestic production.
Yeah, right.
I remember when Canada tried to pull this shit, saying that they needed to support Canadian media.
It was a censorship law, really.
According to the Commons Cultural Media and Sport Committee, major streaming services such as Netflix, Disney and Apple should be forced to pay 5% of their British revenues into a fund that would then be used to finance distinctively homegrown programmes.
If they don't agree to do so voluntarily, the government should be forced to pay 5% of their British revenues into a fund that would then be used to finance distinctively homegrown programmes.
Now look, I'm not on the side of these streaming giants either, because they're massive conglomerates, but look who's coming down the pipe right now.
Caroline Dynage, the chairman of the committee, who bizarrely describes herself as conservative.
Caroline Dynish is the person that, when I got attacked in the UK in September 2023, contacted Rumble and YouTube saying that I should be immediately demonetised.
YouTube, of course, famously complied.
Unless the government urgently intervenes to rebalance the playing field for every adolescent, adding to the national conversation.
Oh God, they're still going about adolescence.
They love that adolescence.
I love Stephen Graham.
He's brilliant.
He's a brilliant actor, a brilliant filmmaker.
But obviously that adolescence is being used to focus attention on useful arguments rather than more complex and troubling arguments about what the causes are for poverty, despair and violence in the UK.
For every adolescence adding to the national conversation, there will be countless distinctly British stories that never make it to our screens.
Netflix, perhaps understandably, immediately hit back, arguing that in an increasingly competitive global market, it's key to create a business environment that incentivises rather than penalises investment, risk-taking and success.
It costs every £174 a year, regardless of whether people pay for the stuff they use to make it or not.
Indeed, the licence fee, or tax, as it should be known, costs more every year than standard ad-free Netflix subscription.
It's hard to understand why people should start having to pay a second tax on top of that, designed to do much the same thing.
I agree with...
Social support and social structures and good roads and hospitals and schools and police forces.
But I also believe in the principle of subsidiarity, of not centralising that authority and not detaching it from the populations that are affected by it.
It seems like this is a move in the other direction.
You can understand a rampant, necessary cash grab as their funding model collapses.
Let's have a look at how this is reported on by GB News.
The Culture, Media and Sport Committee of MPs, which does exist by the way, has cobbled together this report which recommends the government introduces a streaming levy, a streaming levy on the likes of Netflix, Amazon,
Apple and so on to build what they call a cultural fund to help finance drama with a specific interest to British audiences.
So that is a 5% tax on subscriber revenues because vital dramas like adolescence, and this is where adolescence comes back in again, are important to the UK's identity, national conversation and talent pipeline,
which is apparently now under threat.
I'm just going to read directly from the report.
So this is what the chair of the CMS committee, Dame Caroline Dynage, said today.
have showcased the UK's world-class film and high-end television industry like never before.
But the booming inward investment of recent years now risks crowding out our many talented, independent British producers.
Much of our British propaganda is being drowned out by variety.
Our ability to lie to and control the population is being compromised.
I don't reckon that Netflix, Apple, Disney, etc.
have any incentive other than making money.
And if there's an inadvertent consequence of making money, they have to make TV shows or movies, they'll do it.
But the idea that the government should be able to levy taxes in order to compensate for the fact that their funding models collapsed, mostly because, and here's what's not being discussed, No one trusts the media.
No one trusts the BBC.
No one trusts the government.
They shouldn't be looking to accrue more revenue and more money.
They should be recognizing that the days of their stranglehold are at an end.
You wouldn't tolerate that in this country, would you?
No, but I think those people in that clip earlier from the UK that were just drinking for all their remedies, that seems like it might be the way to go if you're in the UK.
What I do to cope with all of these levies and taxes is I get up and I drink myself up a pint of whiskey.
What I do is I put on Apple streaming services, then I wrap a sock around my eyes and ignore it.
What I tend to do is go out in my garden and I find myself an Irish construction worker and try to wrestle him to the ground and pour some whiskey into his mouth, which he usually accepts being Irish.
That's a joke.
Now, we can see that Britain is in decay and in decline because of its continual attempts to...
Yes, exert control.
Massey, what's this last clip in the piece that you've got, mate?
So this is just for anyone who's not in England seeing what it's like in the UK when they tried to enforce the TV license stuff.
So this is just some guy online who's got a letter and it just shows the threatening language that they use.
And this guy obviously isn't afraid of the BBC or the TV licensing board.
So yeah, it's quite interesting.
This is what it's like to be British.
This is what's happening in the UK right now.
If you remember a few weeks back, I received a letter about not having a TV licence in the UK.
I ignored that letter.
This is a follow-up letter.
This is real.
I received this letter today.
We're gonna read it together.
A follow-up letter.
In bold writing:"Will you be in on the 17th of April?" I don't know.
Will I?
Do I need to be?
As there's no record of a TV licence at your address, you should expect a visit from an enforcement officer.
They're normalising authority, aren't they?
Everywhere. They're normalising authority.
In the same way with the robot marathon, they're normalising robot presence in ordinary life.
"Oh, look, there's a robot.
That's fun.
That one fell over." They're normalising in the UK authoritarian measures in every area of your life.
It's normal to arrest people for stuff they say on the internet.
It's normal that we can just come into your house and see what you're watching on the television.
It's normal that we spy on your communications, that we arrest you for confiscating a kid's iPad.
These are real examples I'm using, by the way.
They're normalising fear.
They're
Sir. Oooh!
Don't enforce me.
Doesn't sound very enforcing.
Will you be in on the 17th of April?
It may be on the 17th of April or another day you could be prosecuted.
This is real.
This is real.
They're trying to scare us, but it's not working in the UK.
And if no one answers, they can come back.
What if they come back?
To stop this happening, The TV license thing didn't work.
Why don't we go and talk to everyone that he's ever known?
He must have done something wrong at some point, and even if he didn't, could you persuade people that he did do something wrong?
I bet we bloody well could, using, ironically, old media to create an environment of total terror, fear, stasiism, and a kind of ever-expanding gulag of crimes that constitute living in and being in.
Britain today.
But that's just what I think.
Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
Isaac, I know that secretly you're panicking about getting your flight back to Miemski, but you've also bought us a piece about Pete Hegsier.
Well, Pete Hegseth basically announced that he's going to try to get physical health back into fashion in the U.S. military.
I think that's a pretty good thing.
It shouldn't be a fashion, should it?
If you're in the army, you should be fit.
I mean, ultimately, the army is about defending and serving the American people, fighting, being in wars, or in a good scenario, helping out after some sort of mismanaged hurricane that's not being looked after by the people that are meant to be taking care of it at the state level.
Let's have a look at HEGSF demanding that we all stop being so obese, particularly if we're in the military.
Troops fighting in the unit that many of you will lead.
Are capable, truly physically capable of doing what is necessary under fire.
They need to be fit, not fat.
Sharp, not shabby.
Especially our leaders.
And that's why we're reviewing how the department has maintained standards in the past, especially the last four years, and whether those standards have dropped, formally or informally.
I mean, I really got caught up with the fat, not fit, sharp, not shabby bit, really, just like it was government by alliteration.
But I suppose this is a new common sense era, isn't it, where people are making legislative declarations around things that are biologically evident, and now things that also seem like common sense, like if you're going to be in the army, you've got to be fit.
Do you think it's fair enough, Isaac, or have you got some sort of problem with it?
No, I think it's fair enough.
Look at me.
I'm good for running a livestream like this, but if you really want me and a bunch of me's in the army, I'm a good shot, but no endurance.
You're a good shot, are you?
Oh, yeah.
I go to the gun range once a month.
That's interesting.
That sounds like the sort of thing that a shooter would do in preparation.
Just keep an eye on this guy.
We don't want any disgruntled employees turning up with firearms.
He would do it for the smokes.
He would join the military just to smoke more.
Oh, yeah.
That's what would serve you, Isaac.
Well, there you go.
See, this is a new era of common sense in the United States of America, but in the United Kingdom, more craziness.
It seems to me that we've kind of devolved.
I would hanker after a return to the glory days of them old people, just getting drunk in order to fight off the common cold and its variants.
Let's have a look at the one true potential solution to all of this, immersing ourselves in the holy, sublime, and divine.
Like Massey's mum, as a matter of fact.
This conversation between Charlie Kirk and Bill Ma is fascinating for a number of reasons.
The bit we're focusing on, though, is when Ma and Kirk talk about Christ and Christianity.
We'll then move on to looking at new evidence around the Shroud of Turin, as well as a very peculiar journalist with some extraordinary predilections.
Stay with us.
There's a revival.
Everywhere, people are awakening.
Panic in the UK as church attendance increases.
And across the United States, people are turning to Jesus.
Why would it be?
If you're staggering through this world, broken, full of mistrust, distrust and despair that you can't believe the information, misinformation, malinformation and disinformation of corrupt institutions of false light, then now is a time to awaken.
One of the great things that's occurring at least are conversations from across the aisle, is what they tend to call them these days, usually Charlie Kirk and someone else.
This time, Charlie Kirk is talking to Bill Maher about a number of things, including...
Bill Maher, if he's anything, he's an atheist.
Do you remember that film he made with Larry Charles about agnosticism or indeed atheism?
It was a very interesting film.
I enjoyed it.
I watched it at the time.
Since then, I, of course, have come to our Lord and Saviour, Christ Jesus.
He's come to me, chosen me, redeemed me.
I belong to someone else now, certainly somewhere else.
Let us have a look at this conversation and work out if beyond the return to nationalism that seems to be a prophylactic against advancing globalism, He is risen.
He is risen indeed, Bill.
Why do we say that in the present tense?
Because it is a constant truth in our life.
He is risen.
I always noticed that that was interesting to me.
He's risen now because if you transcend death, then you transcend time.
Christ exists outside of time.
The ethereal, the spiritual, the sublime and the holy entered into time through carnality.
A new frequency was achieved.
A new frequency is achieved through substantiation, through transubstantiation that you may share in the body of Christ.
You can live in the temporal if you want, in the limits of time.
He was risen.
But when you live in he is risen, you recognize that you yourself are an event floating through time, temporarily held together molecules with an identity, an identity that will be best surrendered to him.
So you don't wander in the quantum field, that limitless super state of potentialities.
You collapse into the cross instead of being in the druidic and shamanic world beset by demons, chaos and chance.
The death that you fear most of all.
Is it your children's death?
Your mother's death?
Your wife's death?
Your own death?
The death of the West.
Death has been overcome.
Life itself is limitless, sprawling, and is born of the triune God in continual relationship.
If you can unshackle yourself from the blocks and brokenness, the stagnation that comes from worshipping false idols, you can participate in eternity with him.
He is religious.
That's a really important question, actually.
It is.
Tell me.
Well, because the fact that he has risen transcends time.
It's not just in the present sense.
It's that of all time, that promise is accessible to all of us.
And so it's a proclamation to all people.
Because if you said, hey, he was risen, it's just merely a historical event.
It almost underplays the metaphysics of it.
I'm just always fascinated the way really, really fine intellectual minds employ themselves for the purpose What's amazing about it is the limitations of materialism and rationalism.
It's interesting that Bill Maher met with Trump recently as he migrates from his previous enclave as the voice of the liberal anti-establishment.
Of course, he's become, ultimately, as anyone who gets super wealthy from the establishment does.
An establishment figure.
The establishment is ingenious in its ability to recruit.
If you have anti-establishment energy in you, like I do, like I always have done, one of those people that thirsts after the kingdom, the establishment is very good at directing you towards it.
When did the impulses that I felt as a young man become, oh, what if I was just famous?
Then everything would be okay.
Who gave me those idols?
Who gave me that prescription?
Who gave me that direction?
Same place you got it.
Either your family or your culture tells you you're nothing unless you're famous.
Now, what's happening with Bill Ma is...
He's migrated out of that.
He's curious now.
Wait a minute, this Democrat movement that claims to be the inheritor of righteous people like Martin Luther King is nothing of the sort.
It's caught up in bureaucracy and, curiously and hypocritically, conservatism.
It wants to conserve and control power, and the way it does that is by elevating fear and claiming it can protect you from the consequences of that fear, whether it's climate change or COVID or...
Bigotry. It claims it can protect you from that fear.
Bill Maher has migrated from the Democrats to being curious, at least, about libertarianism.
The next migration will be an awakening to the world of the spirit.
I predict it.
I predict a massive revival.
I predict this revival that's already begun will envelop the world.
I predict a new flood, this time a deluge of...
Christ's blood reaching across the globe.
Continent-wide tidal waves reaching across the world.
A new crimson covenant achieved with his new people.
Charlie Kirk elsewhere did this brilliant post where he talked about the historical evidence for Christ.
This is from Charlie Kirk's ex.
He also credits Dr. Frank Turek for the help in creating this.
If you're a Christian, you'll have seen this historical evidence before, but here it is again, and it's pretty compelling.
Let's get into it.
Jesus of Nazareth was crucified under Pontius Pilate.
Right, so we know that he was crucified.
That's a matter of historical record.
He's not a mythic figure.
He's not the Easter Bunny.
I'm the Easter Bunny.
He's not Santa Claus.
He's not a wish fulfilment.
He's not a projection of the mass imagination.
He's not geometry.
He's not sacred geometry, although, of course, he would be all of those things, for he is all things.
But as a historical figure, what do we have that demonstrates that Christ existed?
We have some evidence and information.
Do we have evidence that he was crucified?
Well, yeah, we do.
This is one of the most agreed-upon facts of ancient history.
Pagan historians like Tacitus, Jewish chroniclers like Josephus, and early Christian sources all converged.
Jesus Christ was publicly executed by Roman authority.
No credible historian, Christian or atheist, denies it.
The cross was not a theological metaphor.
It was a state-sanctioned death penalty delivered with maximum shame and finality.
So he was crucified, but just because a person called Jesus Christ was crucified...
That doesn't mean that Christ rose again and that everything he says in the scripture is true, does it?
So was he buried?
Let's have a look.
He was buried in a known accessible tomb.
The gospel's name, Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy member of the Jewish council, as the man who buried Jesus.
If this were a fabrication, using a public figure easily investigated by enemies would be self-defeating.
The early Christian creed in 1 Corinthians 15, dated by scholars like James D.G. Dunn to within five years of the crucifixion, affirms the burial.
It isn't a myth, it's a memory.
Okay, so he was crucified and he was buried.
There is significance, almost one might argue, sufficient evidence for those two facts.
Was the tomb empty, though?
The tomb was discovered empty by women.
In ancient Jewish society, a woman's testimony was considered unreliable in court.
If the resurrection story were invented, placing women at the center of the discovery would be absurd.
Of course, you can argue any one of those points.
But when you do, notice if in yourself it's because you have a particular perspective.
Oh, well, just because they said that women discovered it, that doesn't mean that it's definitely true.
It could be a double bluff.
If you find yourself saying that, then you have to recognize that you have a perspective that you want to hold on to.
And my own coming to Christ came when I stopped gripping on, when I relinquished, when I relented, when I recognized the limits of my own dexterous, clever little mind, how far it could take me, how much trouble it had gotten me in.
What happened to me was that tidal wave that I described earlier hit me and I drowned.
I drowned in Christ.
That ain't to say that I don't come up for air occasionally and try and gasp and grip control, try and float on the raft made of the cross instead of putting it on my back and carrying it.
But now I've been awoken to the truth of him and it's...
Intellectually robust enough.
It's psychedelically profound enough.
It's metaphysically potent enough to totally subdue me.
And I'm a person that was pretty devout in worshipping the culture.
You know, they say that Saul's conversion to Paul was particularly miraculous because of how devoted he was to the execution and persecution of Christians.
Well, I was pretty dedicated to being famous, to having sex, to being powerful.
Fame. Those things were my religion and creed, like they're probably yours.
If you look at your search history now and it's got pornography on it, if you're worried about your bank account now, if you're thinking about your next meal, then they've captured you.
You are captured too.
The only way for us to escape is through submission and through surrender to him.
And this is what I advocate you do now.
There are another six brilliant pieces of evidence in Charlie Kirk and Dr. Frank Turk's post.
You can look those up for yourself.
But before we wrap up this video, let's have a look at the resurgent interest in the Shroud of Turin.
Many people testifying to its veracity and extraordinary claims I've seen made.
23 chromosomes rather than the usual 24, suggesting just an earthly mother and no father.
There was indeed a conception derived from the Holy Spirit.
Let's have a look at this.
Now we know it will stay hidden away.
The controversial and mysterious shroud of Turin, revered by millions, hasn't been seen by the public for ten years.
And this Easter, officials say once again the fragile cloth will not be put on display.
Many Catholics believe it captures the exact moment of the resurrection two millennia ago.
In 2015, the Pope made a pilgrimage to pray before the shroud.
You'll be familiar with the fact that when a sperm and ova meet, there is light.
There is a flash of light at the moment of conception.
What would accompany the resurrection?
An almost atomic explosion of light.
The light that...
Christ claimed he was.
The light that was present at the dawn of the earth in that moment was reborn in him, creating a kind of negative image on the Shroud of Turin.
I'd never seen it that way before.
I thought it was just meant to be like a teabag, like it was just sort of soaking up his skin and stuff like that.
I saw it in purely biological terms.
I didn't see it as like a miraculous flash of resurrected light illuminating the tomb before he was reborn, giving birth to all of us, giving birth to hope, transcending.
The death that lurks and looms, that stalks, that sits upon your shoulder like a raven, the nagging, constant crow of death, the continual anxiety all bleached out by the white light of his resurrection.
It was only on display for a few months.
That same year, I had the chance to see it up close.
And I'm ashamed to admit this, but I actually put my dick on it.
Looking back now, it was one of the most unprofessional things I've ever done as a journalist.
But because I am a journalist, I will admit to doing it.
That's why they won't get it out again now and put it on display.
Because of me.
When I say get it out again, I mean the shroud, not my downstairs instrument, not my flesh clarinet, not my body wand, not my stick of wonder, not little me, not the liar in the basement.
Such a spiritual atmosphere.
But not so spiritual that I'm not feeling that urge once again to put my dick on the shroud of Turin.
I'm so sorry.
It's the most desecratory, decimatory and incorrect thing I've ever done as a journalist.
Although I did also lie about the pandemic and tell everyone to get those jabs and they were killing their grandma if they didn't get it.
And I also did rub my dick on her grandma.
But only because...
I had vaccine juice on it.
That's mRNA fluid coming out of dinner.
Holy icon.
Today, as with so much, technology is taking over.
The faint contours on the relic have been used to generate AI images of Christ.
And at Turin Cathedral, believers will only be able to see a digital duplicate of the Shroud this year.
Only a digital duplicate and they'll have to look at the digital duplicate of my downstairs liar too Because I won't be getting him out anymore as conditions of my bail It will stay locked away in a climate-controlled case Which is also what I'm doing with my
body wand for conservation In centuries past the shroud would be brought out for the faithful to witness and worship
I like that image.
I'm getting that tattooed on me.
That's cool.
I'm doing that.
That's a tattoo.
That's a tattoo.
The shroud arrived here in Italy almost 450 years ago, during the 16th century.
Before that, in the 14th century, it was in France.
Before that, nothing.
A mystery.
Some say all that matters is whether you believe in it.
To me, though, what matters to me is whether I can put my dick on it.
That's whether it's a box of cornflakes or a shroud bearing the image of Christ.
You name it, I'll put my dick on it.
In fact, that's this week's competition.
You name it, I'll put my dick on it.
The first entry is from little Klaus.
He's reaching out from Belgium.
He suggests a hot air balloon.
Don't be crazy, Klaus.
Not when those things are up, up and away.
I'd burn my pubes off on the gas.
Others question its authenticity.
Using an exact copy, David Rolfe, who has studied the cloth for decades.
David Rolfe loves rolling that out like that, doesn't he?
He gets so into it.
That's how I feel with a yoga mat sometimes.
I think about Jesus while I'm doing it, then get excited.
Like, when he's, he's gone to them.
You might, um, when I do this bit, you'll get a good shot from up there.
I'm gonna roll it out like a magic carpet.
Well, like in Aladdin, sort of.
A whole new world, don't you dare touch my dick.
A whole exciting point of view.
Nothing to do or say.
You're straight or gay.
Let me roll a whole new shroud with unbelievable sides.
Shows us how it would have wrapped the body of Jesus.
Back of the head goes here.
Feet there.
And then all that you do then is just fold this part of the cloth over.
Not again, David.
Grow up.
Get up.
Why do you keep doing that?
Right, we've got them.
Dear, someone's coming to visit.
You're not going to roll out the shroud again, are you, and pretend to be Jesus?
No. I'm going to do it.
And on to which he believes Jesus left his image.
You can see clearly...
I'm not proud to say that I also tapped my dick on David.
I don't know what led me to do it.
I just felt like doing it.
I did it as a journalist.
David was willing.
He said that I'd done it to the original Shroud.
Why shouldn't I do it to his khaki trouser?
The face here.
The crossed hands.
And here are the scourge marks.
It's a photograph of the moment of the resurrection.
The Vatican has never said it is Christ on the cloth, but in 1988, it allowed tests to be made on samples from the shroud.
The results dated the fabric to the 12th century, but was that carbon dating flawed?
Filmmaker David Rolfe says it was.
David Rolfe, stop at nothing, will he?
He's jumping into shrouds, he's making films, he's letting that guy tap him with a dick.
I made the last one up.
After producing several documentaries about the Shroud, even being given rare permission to film the real thing, he is now a believer.
I have absolutely no doubt the person depicted on this cloth is Jesus of Nazareth.
I actually think it is as well.
It's the truth of it.
I think that there's something weird going on there.
I heard that they, like, looked at the chromosomes on it and stuff.
Is that true?
In the southern Italian city of Bari, research to redate the Shroud continues.
This scientific team, led by Catholic Professor Liberato De Caro, has tested thread from the cloth with a technique called X-ray crystallography.
I'm sorry to say that I brushed my nuts against Liberato just as he was showing me a cell with molecules on it.
I said, how about these molecules?
Then I said testicle.
It was brilliant.
Which analyses matter at an atomic level.
He agrees.
It is from classical times.
The sample taken from the shroud must be 2000 years old.
In the next centuries, the shroud will be studied with more sophisticated techniques, but I don't know if There will be a final answer.
It's interesting, isn't it?
Because when you're dealing with the unknowable, the ineffable, the transcendent and the holy, the temptation is to try to make it rational and material because this is where we are, incarnate, lost.
Askew, askance and broken and spilled down here.
We want somehow to grasp and meld onto our rational minds this ineffable and unknowable mystery.
It can't be done.
It cannot be done.
It has to be undertaken in faith.
One must relinquish the hold on the balustrade of self in order to be open to the fine divine threads of the Holy One.
And I personally find that very difficult to do.
The Shroud of Turin, I believe it's real.
...is irrelevant.
What really matters is whether or not journalists can be free to roam museums going up to artifacts and pointing to it with their body pen and writing letters to history with the white ink of their own life.
This is me reporting on that show I do on the telly.
That's just what I think, though.
Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
Certainly, it seems insufficient to try to make your way through life clinging only on to the rationalism, materialism, and the philosophies of the 20th century that kept Bill Maher warm for a while, but I sense now are becoming ashes in his mouth.
Thank you for choosing Fox News.

I hope you won't succumb to sin.
