Time Text
Thank you.
Hello, you Awakening Wonders.
Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand.
What a time it is to be reporting globally with absolutely no censorship or incursions upon my free speech.
We know there is surveillance.
We know there are attempts to control our conversation.
For now, we may speak freely and we'll be talking about Nazis, new and old.
We'll be talking about the return of globalism through Canadian politics.
We'll be talking about Klaus Schwab and the truth behind the WEF.
And we'll be talking about Trump's first hundred days.
Let's see Mark Carney celebrating and demonstrating what a great guy he is.
If you're watching this on YouTube, X, or anywhere other than Rumble and Rumble Premium, make your way there.
And that's with a loving nod to the locals community, who I will forever adore.
Get Rumble Premium now if you don't have it already for an ad-free experience.
Now, do you know what it's like to become the leader of the free, maybe not so free world?
Yes!
Canada's back, baby!
Cut me, I'll bleed maple syrup.
*Music*
Somebody needs to freeze that man's bank account in the free state of Florida where surely I will soon return after dealing with ceremonies and trials of my own.
There is a reason to adore the Sunshine State.
Only in Florida would you see a site like this.
*Pewds* Thank you.
Very efficient.
Is he a professional?
Is that him doing his job?
Or is this like a bystander?
I mean, I see there's a cop car, but that's not a police uniform.
Is that like a special alligator unit?
Let me know in the comments and check.
Oh! Oh!
Oh!
Never in my wildest dreams.
Woo! Woo!
Thank you.
We'll be good at 8:00.
I think he let it down a little bit with a celebration.
It was a really professional actor then.
I was thinking, my God, Brazilian jiu-jitsu can work against the reptilians.
Maybe that's the way that the Ulmer confrontation will happen, the WEF and the WHO and all of the other necromancers that infiltrate with their dark claws and tendrils.
Maybe we just need to wrestle them down the way that alligator was detained.
Last week we showed you how back in the glory days of Britain, before it became an island penitentiary, the people there were ready to lean into herbal remedies.
It's not only herbal remedies.
It seems like most people were drunk a significant amount of time in order to fight off, you know, the version of COVID then.
The common cold.
Now let's have a look, a joyful and nostalgic look back at the way that Cockneys used to talk before we jump straight into...
And I can remember a case where I was miles up in the desert, the other side of the brook somewhere.
And there was a young, I'd been out there four years then, and there was a young lad, you know, and I heard him speaking.
So I said, where'd you come from?
So he said, Lannan.
I said, I know you do, but whereabouts in Lannan?
He said, Bethnal Green.
I said, I knew that.
I mean, Bethnal Green was with the F. I mean, you take it which way, either one F or two Fs.
You take it which way you like, you know what I mean?
And it's how it was years ago.
today. They're much more modern than I am.
Let's say Bethnal
I've got grandchildren today, I'm afraid to talk to them because they're so posh here.
They say, "Hello, grandfather!
How are you?"
So I say, "Well, pal, how are you getting on here?
All right?"
And this is it today, isn't it?
Really?
It's everyday talk now.
It is sort of...
We used to say "apples and stairs" and "apples and pears" and things like that.
They don't use it.
It's everyday things.
Little catchphrases at the end of sentences and things like that.
I mean, they use the word "you see" or "alright".
On the end of every sentence, it's "alright" or "you see".
Always stuck on the end of a thing.
And if they want to talk to you, they say, "Hang on a minute".
It's all little catchphrases now.
Instead of saying "apples and stairs" and "pears" and all kinds of things like that.
It's dying out now.
I mean, if I turn around to Ronnie and I say, "I've got a hold of this."
I'm going to say, "I want to knock this out a bit."
You know what I mean?
We talk like that now.
I mean, all the time in the pub here, they're coming and saying, "I want to knock this out quick."
Like, you know, we want to buy it, you know.
And all things like that, we know.
Well, I mean, I shouldn't say it.
No, we're all straight here.
We're all crooks here.
Say you take your overcoat off and you put it up on the rack in a pub and you say, look after my smother for me, Fred.
Well, that's your overcoat.
You know what I mean?
You might have your twirls in your pocket.
What's that?
Bunch of keys.
And lots of screwsmen that go out and say, where's me glim?
Where's me glim?
Well, that's his torch.
Not so very often these days, all inside doing bird now, aren't they?
Everyone's in jail that used that slang.
Amazing.
Join us for more interrogation into slang over the course of the day.
Who doesn't enjoy that intuitive poetry that comes out of the vernacular world there?
A man from Armanabad unknowingly filmed the Falgam Islamist terrorist attack, unaware of the chaos unfolding around him.
Let's have a look at this.
What's she doing?
having a perfectly nice time on a zip wire.
I mean it's actually an incredible shot *barking* *barking* *barking* *barking* *barking* Go, go!
you
Maybe the best journalism is inadvertent.
Wherever you're watching us, YouTube or X, ultimately come...
Join us on Rumble.
We'll be talking about subterranean bases of the powerful.
We'll be talking about new emergent Nazism.
Where does real fascistic control reside?
We'll be talking about Ukraine.
And we'll be talking about Jay Bhattacharya's science is back statement.
Now that Jay Bhattacharya is not an outcast by the head of the NIH, is it possible that science can be conducted openly and candidly?
Before we get into that, here's a person who tests 10,000 vapes a day, basically.
So this step kind of blows my mind.
Our friend here is testing each one of them.
I'm not sure if it's for taste or volume or...
I'm not sure precisely what.
I'm also curious if he is inhaling or if it's like a cigar, just a quick taste test and...
These aren't any problems?
You can take a few hours a day?
I take a few hours a day.
How many times?
I'm a thousand times.
You usually take it?
No. You still take it?
I take it.
Look, I don't know much about vapes, but it doesn't seem to me that that can be very good for you.
And then you consider just one ten-thousandth of that have some kind of negative impact.
Surely, though, we have to get beyond addiction, beyond madness.
Here's a quick...
Message from one of our partners.
We'll be back in a minute with some analysis of Klaus Schwab's resignation from the WF, why it happened and what sets of powers he represents.
You just saw Mark Carney dancing his way back into power.
Bank of England, Bank of Canada, now Canada as a whole.
Let me know in the comments and chat if you think that globalism is back.
Let me know in the comments and chat if you think that Trump's 101 first days have delivered or are we beginning to see some cracks in MAGA?
Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
It's a quick...
Word from one of our partners.
I don't go anywhere without a sweet bag of this stuff, and if I have to force it into an internal body cavity, I'll do it.
1775, that's the sweet taste of revolution.
The naughtiest of the beans.
The darkest of the beans.
But why should we be penalised for drinking coffee?
We shouldn't.
Why not have a coffee that could reverse time?
Not like Marty McFly, going back time, just to touch up his own mum.
No, Marty.
Oh man, Biff.
Come on, Biff.
Biff, cut me some slack, Biff.
I don't think I could take that kind of rejection.
What Marty McFly, what George McFly, what Biff, and all of the McFlys needed was 1775.
As we peel back the layers of our foreskin, sorry, I mean news media, like a modern illusion, corporate narratives, media manipulation.
Foreskin.
Government's playing God.
We come to a simple realisation.
Everything they sell you is designed to keep you weak.
Your food.
Your news.
Your medicine.
Your coffee.
Everything.
And that's because a fully awakened version of you would be a threat to the system.
Become a threat to the system with Sweet Lady 1775.
Revolution juice, I call it.
And I'm not talking about my semen.
So what happens when you start asking questions?
When you say, actually, no, I won't start my day with a chemical cocktail brewed by the same boardroom that funds censorship and pharma ads.
You look elsewhere.
You find something different.
Like 1775's Rejuvenate Coffee.
Not made in a lab.
Not cooked up by an algorithm.
But roasted.
Weekly.
In Miami.
Like Don Johnson and the other lad.
Crockett and Tubbs.
That was it.
This is from Crockett and Tubbs.
The only powder out of Miami you can rely on and trust.
When you get that white powder, you best be careful.
You know what goes on in Miamski.
This is brewed weekly in Miamski.
With real beans, real principles and CA AKG.
A compound study for its ability to support energy recovery and healthy aging at the cellular level.
Some studies even suggest it could reverse biological age.
Here it is.
Look at this stuff.
Delicious.
Right in the throat.
Delicious stuff.
Making me feel better already.
Just the corner of the box went in my larynx, and I feel like a nine-year-old boy.
Not in a Joe Biden way.
Not in an Epstein-Island way.
I feel like I am the nine-year-old boy.
Imagine aging backwards.
While screaming into the void.
Imagine reversing down the tunnel of time with your anus completely relaxed by these naughty beans.
What could be better than that?
It's single origin, mould-free, toxin-free and woke-free made by people who actually believe in things like bodily sovereignty, free speech and the radical idea that your coffee shouldn't come with a lecture.
Go to 1775coffee.com, use the code BRAND and get 15% off.
Rejuvenate your body, resist the machines and wake up on your terms.
Get younger now, baby.
Daddy. Daddy.
Oh man, sometimes that's the only prayer that I need.
Last week, we talked about how Bill Maher's visit to the White House had inspired Larry David to write and admittedly...
Funny op-ed in the New York Times, My Dinner with Adolf, where he talked about normalising dictators through conversing with them.
But I think the period where people think that Trump is some new proto-Hitler is over.
Isn't it?
Surely we recognise that the new dynamic now are shifting tectonic plates when it comes to polarising global powers and when it comes to domestic politics.
It's imperialism versus globalism, which usually comes in the guise of social democracies.
Where are the real Nazis now?
Are they, as Joy Reid attests, still within the profiles of racial political dynamics?
Or is true power concealed by financial elitism or found in the form of financial elitism?
Before we get into Joy Reid's analysis, let's have a look at Bill Maher.
Misunderstand.
Let's have a look at Bill Maher asking Al Gore about the appropriateness of the ongoing Hitler comparisons.
So I think we generally have the same view of the Trump administration.
Yeah.
Al Gore, in many ways, was the last of the smug Democrats, wasn't he?
He was so close to being President of the United States, a few hanging chads in a time zone in Florida away from becoming the Commander-in-Chief.
And it had some kind of impact on Al Gore, didn't it?
From then on in, climate change, he claimed he invented the internet, claimed he invented democracy, made all sorts of audacious claims, and in a way, I figure, he might have been the end of an era that actually needed curtailing.
Let's have a look at how he understands Nazism and the ongoing slur that Trump is like Hitler.
Remember, Hitler without the Holocaust, that ain't no kind of Hitler.
You were in the news this week for invoking Nazis.
Well, I didn't do what J.D. Vance did and called Trump America's Hitler when he did that a few years ago.
Well, what he actually said was, I think about Trump a lot, and he could be an asshole just like Nixon, or he could be America's Hitler.
And I remember thinking, oh, so the good option is that he's just an asshole like Nixon.
I think there's a big difference in comparing someone to Hitler on the one hand, which I don't do.
I think that's a big mistake.
And I said that in the speech that you're referring to.
That's a unique form of evil that should not ever be compared to anything.
But we are not living up to our responsibility to our Constitution if we don't remain alert.
To warning signs that we know from history, not only from the Third Reich, but from a whole series of strongman dictators.
When they start trying to tell people what to think, when they start trying to expand their power so that they push the Congress around, push the judiciary around, and try to consolidate dictatorship.
The first steps on that road are ones that we should see as warning signs.
I know.
I just think that when you use the word...
I couldn't agree more, but I just think...
You know, Nazi is a hard word to use with nuance.
So when you bring that word out, you know, I feel like they're the goat of evil.
You know, and so it just conflates.
I agree with that.
I agree with that.
But if you look at what I actually said in that speech...
There was a group of German philosophers that went back after the war and conducted a kind of moral autopsy, and one of them said that the first step on the descent into hell in that case was...
And I quote the conversion of all questions of truth into questions of power.
They attack the distinction between true and false.
And when I see and hear over and over again the assertion of complete inaccuracies that Ukraine is responsible for starting the war with Russia.
That in itself is an inaccuracy.
I don't think many people claim that Ukraine are responsible.
I think a lot of people claim that NATO are responsible or Ukraine and NATO with their agreement for Ukraine to become a NATO country, potentially, and that the breaching...
And infringement upon deals between the former Soviet Union and America is responsible, and the fact that the CIA have bases there, and the fact that BlackRock have deals with them to rebuild the country, those are the kind of nuanced points that people are making.
It's curious to see Al Gore analyse the Nazis.
It's curious to see anyone who believes that liberal democracies, social democracies...
As the solution to justice and social justice make the point that Trump is uniquely evil.
Indeed, the best you can claim is that their political movement had become so corrupted, hollowed out, facile, and controlled by global corporatism that it was inevitable that in the end, nationalist, nativist...
Populist politicians would benefit from the space seeded by a liberal class that hated working class people, that governed entirely for elites, that favoured globalism over nationalism, and had power as far away as possible from the people impacted by the choices,
decisions and movements of that power.
And in a way, Al Gore, I believe, is representative of that class, of that movement, of that time.
even though I'd also have to say that when you kind of watch him he seems sort of lucid and affable and adorably southern.
The fact is is that era is over now or is it over now?
Let me know in the comments in chat.
You know, Canada have just elected a globalist.
With Russia,
Again, a collapsing of a complex argument.
I think there are that many people that would contest this idea.
The earth is beautiful.
We are stewards of the earth.
We all treat the earth not as a resource but as our home with love and reverence and respect.
The wantonness and disregard for nature and the tendency to see the earth as a resource here for our spoils is kind of ugly and disgusting and appalling.
However...
Like a lot of people, I've come to see that regulations around climate change appear to be particularly punitive to ordinary people without curbing the excesses of powerful organisations that might be culpable and seem to legitimise...
further authoritarianism at scale.
The aim and goal is always control.
They're always looking for ways to put you in a 15-minute city, lock you in your house, make you take a medicine, legitimize their power.
They can't come out with a pistol or a hatchet and demand it, so they tell you that they're here to protect you.
Let me know what you think about that.
And they try to assert with the force of power their own...
Special version of alternative facts.
Yeah, but I guarantee that the side of the country that voted for Trump, they hear Nazi and they just go, oh, you're calling us Nazis?
First of all, it's a bit of a false premise, as bad as they are.
And also, it just says to them, well, you just hate us.
I suppose the reason the subject is germane is because of Larry David's op-ed in which he said that Bill Maher himself meeting with Trump amounts to Nazi appeasement.
Piers Morgan, the British journalist, went on the show there with Bill Maher.
Let's see what he had to say about that.
Larry David, because you're friends, aren't you?
Were you friends?
Yes, of course.
I mean, this wasn't, you know, my favourite moment of our friendship, but, you know, look, I don't want to get too much into that, but I think...
The minute you play the Hitler card, you've lost the argument.
And also, I must say, you know, come on, man.
Hitler, Nazis, nobody has been harder about and more prescient, I must say, about Donald Trump than me.
I don't need to be lectured on who Donald Trump is.
Just the fact that I met him in person didn't change that.
And the fact that I report it honestly is not a sin either.
But, you know, to use the Hitler thing, first of all, I just think it's kind of insulting to six million dead Jews.
That should kind of be in its own place in history.
And, you know, I know people can say, well, we're just comparing it in this way.
Well...
It's an argument you kind of lost just to start it.
It's just, look, maybe it's not completely logically fair, but Hitler has really kind of got to stay in his own place.
He is the goat of evil, and we're just going to have to, I think, leave it like that.
So, you know, did I think that was appropriate?
No, but people are of the right to...
Did you know he was going to do it?
Of course not.
How did you find out?
You know, somebody, my publicist said, "This is going on today and you should know it."
The reductivism and simplification of ideas of fascism, authoritarianism, tyranny and control can be applied in a variety of ways.
What is more significant when it comes to American politics and American power?
Is it the racial dynamics and divisions within Congress?
Or is it the number of millionaires and very wealthy people that likely align ideologically and economically with the powerful interests that are the first layer of influence and control outside of the remit and reach of legislation?
And certainly beyond the voice of the voters.
Let's have a look at Joy Reid's claim that America is being steered into the 80s by white.
Each community on earth.
If you take that away and try to distill us just down to white folks, we'll be like Europe.
An aging, slowly dying, former empire.
The Roman Empire didn't survive because it didn't have enough strength in its diversity.
It suppressed its diversity and it died.
If the U.S. wants to be the Roman Empire, keep voting the way you're voting, y 'all.
Keep voting for people.
Let me know what you think about that argument.
Here's a breakdown of ethnicity in Congress.
Is it going well?
I don't know.
I mean, it's not the kind of thing I think about, but that's sort of understandable.
I don't know, 109th Congress.
More racially and ethnically diverse than the Senate, certainly.
Right, so those grey seats, well, that's white, is it?
Okay, fair enough.
I don't know, man.
It's not something I feel like I'm able to assess.
Let's have a look at this.
What I think is an interesting indicator of how power operates is not pigment, but wealth.
Here is a list from probably from unusual wows, you might imagine.
Would it surprise you to know that half the members of the US Senate and House of Representatives are millionaires?
How do they make so much money?
How come they enter into politics moderately affluent or not even affluent at all, but by the time they leave, they have Pelosi levels of wealth?
How does this keep happening?
Well, it seems that...
Because insider trading is the way that that would occur.
Preventing elected leaders from owning security investments, the Pelosi Act.
That's a brilliant little acronym that's being introduced.
But will it pass?
Apparently it's being reintroduced.
People are talking once more again about meaningful controls.
In a way, we could all get lost calling one another Nazis and fascists and quarreling and quibbling about racial differences and divisions.
As long as American politics and global politics are controlled first by money, then by power and potentially by occultist interests that are difficult to corroborate, it's unlikely that the world will meaningly alter for the better for ordinary people.
These days, as divided as America is, it's rare for us to find anything that 75% of Americans agree on.
But there is something.
Three in four voters agree members of Congress should not be able to trade stocks.
And it does make sense.
They get a heads up about pretty much everything.
Unfortunately, there are 75% of all Americans, 200 plus million who want something, and there are just a few hundred people who don't seem to agree.
Except...
They're the important few hundred, the 535 all serving in Congress.
Senator Josh Hawley just introduced a bill to prevent lawmakers from trading stocks.
Here's what he said about the issue last year.
If you come into Congress, my view is you should have to sell the stock and either put it into broad-based mutual funds, like most Americans invest in, or in a completely blunt trust you have no control over whatsoever.
His bill is actually called the Pelosi Act because she failed to hold the vote on a similar bill last year.
And to be fair, we've seen a handful of these bills over the years.
They never pass.
But members of Congress in profiting off of public office is a problem.
Let's actually start with a former speaker whose husband has made tens of millions of dollars trading.
Yesterday, the Department of Justice filed an antitrust lawsuit against Google.
She traded $3 million worth of Google stock a month ago.
You decide if it's a coincidence.
But it's not just her.
An investigation by the trading website Unusual Whales found last year 131 members of Congress filed stock options and trading disclosures.
They made more than 12,000 transactions.
and in a shocker, they made nearly $800 million in the process.
Back to Hawley, he's putting lawmakers sort of in a tough place, right?
They have to go on the record and vote for or against something that virtually every American wants, if it makes it to the United States.
What I particularly enjoyed is the fact that that bill, or bills like it, are introduced almost...
Every administration or every term.
And they never pass because ultimately people don't vote against their own interests.
And it's this mentality that has to be altered in all of us.
Don't you occasionally get a glimpse of a radically different world?
Don't you occasionally recognize that we're occupying a kind of purgatory?
We're limiting possibility just by our inability to venture into imagination, in our inability to leap into faith.
And even open our minds and hearts to the possibility that we could move beyond tribalism and mudslinging, hatred and individualism and materialism and commercialism.
I happen to believe that Donald Trump is probably the kind of President of the United States needs right now.
I also believe that joy reads perspectives on race are of value.
I also believe that deport people on the basis of free speech is out of alignment with what most Americans believe in.
Above all else now, though, I feel that the time of nations Has to be reviewed.
Why would we centralise populations to the tune of 300 million people?
Why do we not invite the possibility of subsidiarity?
And beyond that even, a perspective on the world that reaches beyond the limited clenched fist of I-me-mine individualism.
But that's just what I think.
Why don't you let me know what you think.
Is it possible that we might...
Breathe into being a better world through surrender and letting go.
I pray that it is.
Wherever you're watching us, X, YouTube, YouTube, we're out of here.
We've got a quick message from one of our partners coming up now.

We're going to be analysing the corruption of Klaus Schwab.
While he wants you eating bugs and owning nothing and being happy, he himself potentially was fiddling his expenses and embezzling even at the WEF.
That's the allegation that's being made.
We'll be looking at that in a few seconds.

When major advertisers conspired, yeah, conspired, to pull their dollary-dos, even brands like Dirty Dunkin' Donuts, which I think of as being a bit like the Dunkin' Donut of that Tesla guy that wiped his hand on his butt.
Remember him, this guy?
Dunkin' Donuts is the donut equivalent of that.
How dare they?

Could there be any clearer indication that we are living in a two-tier society when the ultra-rich...
Resort to living in catacombs, labyrinths beneath the world, like David Bowie surrounded by trollish Henson-esque Muppets and Puppets.
One good thing is the changing landscape of independent media means that people like Theo Von, with a unique imagination and a brilliant comedic voice, now have conversations with Mark Zuckerberg.
Who knows what PR advice has led to this conversation, but I'm glad it's happening.
Pay particular attention to the fact that Theo Von is able to stay in tune with his unique comedic...
And that Mark Zuckerberg has to handle the idea that there's nothing wrong with having underground bunkers.
It's not, of course, just ultra-rich individuals and beneficiaries of the technocratic Illuminati-like structures of the modern globalist state, but also the old-school political class also have...
under subterranean cities apparently that's something that was revealed to Tucker Carlson recently let's get into it first of all with Theo Vaughn and his conversation
I don't even know what I would have.
I would have an underground tunnel, even though it came right back up next to where it started.
I do have an underground tunnel.
Do you really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
In...
USA?
Well, there's this ranch in Kauai.
Yeah.
Where there's this whole thing where people are like...
There's this whole meme about how people are saying I built this like...
Bunker underground.
It's like more of underground storage type of situation.
Bring it up.
But yeah, no, it's a...
Oh, wow.
Zucky got that bunky.
What's under the ground is more water, right?
It's basically what you just said.
It's sort of a tunnel that just goes to...
Another building.
Yeah. It's just a humble tunnel that goes to another part of the compound.
In a way, I don't resent who could resent Mark Zuckerberg for being wealthy.
There have always been wealthy elites.
I suppose what we're interested in is the maneuvering of information, the control of information and how that pertains to control more broadly.
Mark Zuckerberg is a person that has access to the true levers of power.
Do you believe that's true?
Or do you feel that Mark Zuckerberg, like many other people that were there at the advent of the internet and, and,
Let's call it the modern hypercommunication age, that their projects were sponsored by the CIA and CIA carve-outs.
Let me know what you think about that in the comments and the chat.
Whatever Mark Zuckerberg is or isn't, it's difficult, isn't it, just to look at him as another human being like you or I, another divinely endowed and blessed ape on his way to the grave even now, perhaps a little later than the rest of us, due to modern technologies,
incredible nutrition, and an underground bunker that's going to be of some value to him.
And the apocalypse is undoubtedly induced by all this needless hostility that's being stoked everywhere we go.
Yeah!
But it's...
It's a good place to hide a little bit of dope, though.
That's what I would say, dude.
How big is that tunnel?
Is your tunnel pretty big, or what's it like?
It's not that big of a tunnel.
I made a...
I put a reel on Instagram one day of Priscilla kind of making fun of me playing video games with some friends down there.
But it's...
Yeah.
No, it's all good.
Yes, definitely.
But this is a crazy area.
I haven't spent a lot of time here.
You know how the internet is.
The internet will always make things seem like...
It's weird, isn't it, to hear Mark Zuckerberg talking about the internet as if his interactions with the internet are ordinary and not epochal and significant, i.e.
Mark Zuckerberg can and did have deals with Fauci, or at least an agreement with Anthony Fauci during the pandemic era to, broadly speaking, censor and smear people having inquiries, questions, doubts, or even legitimate claims about vaccine injury or something that he publicly spoke about.
I suppose the idea that I'm alluding to, the idea that's perhaps significant in this piece, is that if you have...
A division in society that's so stark and significant that the most powerful elites ultimately occupy a different world to the rest of us, then that is a problem.
And that's another of the great lessons of the pandemic.
What was a crisis for most people was an opportunity for elites.
If that algebra remains true, what's to prevent us living in a state of continual crisis?
The Berlin Wall comes down, then it's 9-11.
9-11 happens, 2008 financial crash.
2008 financial crash leads to a spate of wars.
We have yet more conflict and controversy and conflagration right the way up to the pandemic.
Then we live in a state of continual crisis, division, hysteria, malinformation, misinformation.
The aggregation of power at the scale that we're experiencing it now leads to crisis, and Mark Zuckerberg is ready for that crisis.
It's weird too.
To watch billionaires and oligarchs repo themselves as kind of bros.
It's sort of like Elon Musk.
I suppose he seems like he's one of them people that's kind of authentic and open and has garnered, obviously, incredible success, but also appealed as a type of star as well.
I wonder if Mark Zuckerberg has that kind of inherent ability.
I don't know.
Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
We'll always make things seem like they're crazier than they are.
But, you know.
What's an under, I mean, in Hawaii, it's like having a, having a little storm shelter underground tunnels.
That's the thing right there.
No, I don't think so.
That's insane.
Is that roadblocks?
Is it possible that not only Mark Zuckerberg is the beneficiary of underground technology, but the entire US government?
What are they building in there?
What are they preparing for?
Katherine Fitz, who worked under George W. Bush, reveals to Tucker Carlson that they're Have always been subterranean bunkers, some the size of cities.
Let's check it out.
The underground base and city infrastructure and transportation system that's been built.
I'm sorry?
Yes.
So we have built an extraordinary number of underground bases and supposedly transportation systems.
Some of these are documented as part of the national security infrastructure.
I think there are many more.
In the United States?
In the United States and all over the world.
From 2021...
I took one of the smartest subscribers in the Soler Report Network, and he and I spent two years collecting all the data and all the allegations on underground bases.
We systematically went through and tried to estimate our guess, this is totally a guess, of how many underground bases, both underground in the United States, but also underground under the ocean around the United States.
And our estimate was 170.
And what would be the purpose?
Learn to cook.
Learn to fish.
Learn to grow food.
Learn to build shelters.
Become capable, competent.
Learn how to interface with God directly.
Learn to set up and participate in parallel economies and ecologies.
Untether yourself from the state and from its instrument of inevitable destruction.
It seems like people with insight and incredible power and the wealth to do so are preparing for an Armageddon-level event.
We talked about the blackouts across Europe yesterday.
What will be next after the pandemic?
Let me know in the comments and chat how they will usher us into our homes and continue to implement undue, unnecessary and terrifying control.
It seems to me likely that before too long, the rich will be living underground.
And unless we learn some serious matters,
We will be.
Decaying above it.
But that's just what I think.
Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
Hey, man, this is temporal.
We only occupy this bandwidth for a short, short while.
And unless we start interfacing with something beyond it, I don't see that there's a lot of hope for any of us.
Let us know what you think about that in the comments and chat.
If you're watching us on X, we're going to leave there now.
And we're talking about the Ukraine war in addition to talking about Trump's first 101...
One of the things that I think many people felt optimistic about was Trump's ability to bring a successful conclusion to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
He himself said, within 24 hours, it will be over.
There was an impromptu, apparently iconic moment at the Vatican where Trump and Zelensky met.
Macron was backed, put on the end of a ramrod jab, kept out of the conversation and discussions.
And it seems possible that Zelensky is willing to yield Crimea, and if indeed that's the case, it's possible that maybe, just maybe, this conflict will be brought to an end.
Trump claims, of course, legitimately, that this was always Biden's war.
Will he bring a conclusion to it?
Has something significant taken place as a result of those chairs being placed in a corridor?
Let's have a look.
Let's see.
You're not Crimea.
Do you think you survived?
Oh, I think so, yeah.
Look, Crimea was 12 years ago.
That was President Obama that gave it up without a shot being fired, so...
There you go.
I mean, I'm not a fan of them airport interviews, but here is a post from Trump.
No matter what deal I make with respect to Russia and Ukraine, no matter how good it is, even if it's the greatest deal ever made, the failing New York Times will speak badly of it.
Little Peter Baker, the very biased and untalented writer for The Times, followed his editor's demands and wrote that Ukraine should get back territory, including, I suppose, Crimea and other ridiculous requests, in order to stop the killing that is worse than anything since World War II.
Why doesn't this lightweight reporter say that it was Obama?
Who made it possible for Russia to steal Crimea from Ukraine without even a shot being fired.
It was also Little P. Amazing.
Who wrote an absolutely fawning yet terrible written biography on Obama.
It was a joke!
Did Baker ever criticize the Obama-Crimea giveaway?
No.
Not once.
Only Trump.
And I've had nothing to do with this stupid war other than early on when I gave Ukraine javelins and Obama gave him sheets.
This is sleepy Joe Biden's war.
Not mine.
It was a loser from day one and should never have happened.
And wouldn't have happened if I were president at the time.
I'm just trying to clean up the mess that was left to me by Obama and Biden.
Imagine what kind of mess that might be.
The number of times that Joe Biden seemed to have an involuntary trouser leg action.
And what a mess it is.
With all that being said, there was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles in the civilian areas, cities and towns over the last few years.
Seems like a pivotal moment in this conflict.
Republican Senate John Kennedy has stepped up the virulent and violent rhetoric, claiming that Russia could be turned into fish food.
Fish food?
Does that mean it's submerged in water?
I don't know how you even would make...
Such an incredible transition.
Here's what I see.
Putin has reneged on every promise that he has made to President Trump.
His latest proposal is, well, nothing.
He wants to keep all the territory that he's taken.
He wants to prohibit Ukraine from joining NATO, and he wants America and Europe to stop helping Ukraine.
I think that Putin thinks that America has taken the bullet train to Chumptown.
I think he thinks we're afraid of him.
He has jacked around President Trump at every turn.
He has disrespected our president.
I don't think it's going to get any better until we make it clear to Mr. Putin that we are willing to turn him and his country.
Into fish food.
And I'm not talking about nuclear weapons or nuclear war.
I would start with oil, which I will be glad to talk about if you want.
Okay, fair enough.
I'm interested in this whole fish food thing.
Keep talking.
The way that we're informed about war, the way that global politics, global business, global information is conveyed and proliferated is radically different.
Ben Shapiro now.
has had a meeting, an interview with Zelensky, Theo Vons talking to Zuckerberg, Shapiro's talking to Zelensky.
There are new ways of communicating.
That's one of the transitions, I suppose, that the world and world powers are managing and manoeuvring.
But did we get anything from Shapiro's conversation with Zelensky that would alter your perception of that conflict, the way it's being funded and the
When the United States is saying that we are in between Russia and Ukraine and someone is exerting pressure upon us, Understand why am I struggling to understand all of these things.
I'm demonstrating, the whole people are demonstrating that we are fighting.
We are fighting for your rights, just as for our own.
We are fighting for our values, just the same as yours.
We're fighting with Russians, with your enemy, not with your friends, but with your enemies.
And we...
We want to have this understanding in the United States.
Nothing more.
The understanding and the recognition of the fact that we are partners.
Exhausting.
An exhausting ordeal.
All these global conversations about global conflicts that have such diffuse and obfuscated motivations that in the end one has no choice but to turn away.
Like from one's own brokenness and sin and invite a powerful light into your life in an attempt even to understand all of this complexity.
Who are all of us spilled into infinity, grappling for a moment of limelight and a few questions to be answered in this unknowable, endless diorama of endless drama?
I don't know, man.
What do you think about all this?
Ben Shapiro, pretty effective interviewer and conversationalist.
Zelensky there, who's seemed to me at different points to be carrying the burden and carrying the water for a number of very powerful and peculiar interests.
For me, the moment, I'm never going to forget seeing him turn up at the Golden Globes.
Name checking, JP Morgan.
Checking by name, BlackRock.
That's when I get these kind of flashes of where power is and how power operates, as long as people benefit from perpetuating war.
Remember, Julian Assange told us the function was not to end the Afghanistan war, but to perpetuate it.
The purpose of government is to take public money and transfer it to private hands.
Sometimes there's just some little bit of...
Verbal algebra, some simple little paradigm, some equation that I can hold on to to make sense of this shifting, mad, spiking geometry that's difficult to take any meaningful conclusions from other than the world is a confusing place and we need God bad.
But that's just what I think, stroke feel.
Let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
What we know now is that Legacy Media is...
On average, two or three years behind independent media when it comes to offering at least useful appraisals of a situation.
You've been fed propaganda about Ukraine, the invented and the invented Russian menace.
These are the lies you've been told.
You could have looked at Jeffrey Sachs, John Mearsheimer and all the people that were willing to convey that information some time ago.
So I think, Lowe, let me know what you think.
Now, one thing we can at least rely on is that...
The avatars of globalism won't go quietly into that dying light.
Klaus Schwab may be gone, but a new potentially non-human entity has replaced him.
At the head of the WEF, former Nestle head honcho and haunted ventriloquist's dummy, now leads the WEF.
Klaus Schwab, though, appears to be leaving under some pretty unusual conditions.
WF launches an investigation into its founder, Klaus Schwab.
He's been eating the bugs.
He's been, apparently, owning nothing and not being happy about it.
Let's get into this story.
This is from that piece of writing in the Lixie Media in The Guardian.
The World Economic Forum has launched an investigation into its founder, Klaus Schwab.
After whistleblowers reportedly accused him of manipulating research, using company funds to pay for private massages.
Oh, Klaus.
And asking junior staff to withdraw thousands of dollars on his behalf.
The allegations, reportedly sent last week in a letter to the WEF, which organises the annual gathering of economic leaders at Davos in Switzerland, accused Schwab and his wife, Hilde, of financial and ethical misconduct, which the family has denied.
Innocent till proven guilty.
Surely that's a principle I can lean into today of all.
But what we have to point out here is that Klaus Schwab, for all of his vocal and...
Near-incessant rhetoric around improving the world, creating a socialism that elevates the living conditions of ordinary folk, protecting us, keeping us healthy and safe and happy, even if that means we have to crunch through a few cockroaches, appears to have been fiddling his expenses, which is a pretty low motivation for a person with such high ideals.
The accusations prompted Schwab's resignation as the WEF executive chair on Monday after its board of high-profile trustees.
Get ready for this list, which include the Black Rock chief Larry Fink, The IMF managing director, Christina Georgieva, the former US Vice President Al Gore, and the cellist, Yo-Yo Ma, held an emergency meeting to look into the claims on Sunday.
You've got the IMF's managing director, you've got Larry Fink, head of BlackRock, you've got Al Gore there intoning nasally, and then you've got Yo-Yo Ma just looking...
Bailfully, at a cello case in the corner of the room, longing after a long-dead symphony and some tunes that at least make sense to her.
Schwab, 87, is said to have argued against the board's plan for an investigation before he resigned.
The founder had indicated he intended to step down in early April, but the whistleblower letter brought forward his exit.
That whistleblower.
Schwab, known as Mr. Davos, founded the WEF in 1971.
It hosts the annual conference in the Swiss ski resort, which draws prime ministers, CEOs, celebrities and top financiers.
Not only does it draw them, it creates them.
That's the list.
I mean, Kistama, Davos before Westminster.
Justin Trudeau, child of Westminster.
Mark Carney's replacement.
Macron.
The list goes on and on.
The whistleblower included a range of claims against the Schwab family, according to the Wall Street Journal and Financial Times.
They include allegations that Schwab used WEF funds to pay for private in-room messages at hotels.
That's not a good look, is it?
Ask staff to promote him for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Look, I just need a little massage.
Just some tension in the shoulders.
Also, could I get a Nobel Peace Prize?
Something!
And also, can I have a spittoon for this cheek full of saliva?
And instructed junior employees to withdraw thousands of dollars from ATMs on his behalf.
Oh dear, people are weak.
The flesh.
The flesh is weak.
The letter also accused Schwab of manipulating the WF Global Competitive Resort in order to curry favour with certain governments.
What does that mean?
He's carrying favour with entire governments.
Also note that this is in the legacy media.
Remember when the WF was thought of as a kind of clandestine but somehow simultaneously innocuous organisation.
Now we acknowledge that these kind of, albeit somehow banal, Gatherings are also a significant part of the tissue of global power, real global power, the kind of global power that requires a bunker because he knows what's coming down the pipe.
The publication ranks countries based on criteria such as education, infrastructure, labour market and health systems and is a point of reference for the annual Davos meeting.
Some allegations also extended to Schwab's wife, Hild, even Hild's not safe, who formerly worked at the WF.
They suggested she scheduled token meetings using WF money to justify luxury travel at WF's expense.
Do you know where I think we should go, Klaus?
No, where should we go?
Monte Carlo!
Let's enter Monte Carlo!
Put it on the account!
Send someone down to the ATM!
Woman, I'm trying to have a massage!
Want somebody?
Please, get me a Nobel Peace Prize!
The letter claims that he would also maintain tight control over the use of Villa Mundi, a grand property bought by the WEF looking over Lake Geneva.
Do you know what we need?
We need a grand property overlooking Lake Geneva.
You will own nothing except for this grand property overlooking Lake Geneva and you will be happy.
Probably because you just ejaculated in yet another massage.
All that portion and the portions of the building were reserved for the family's private access.
This is not good, Klaus.
The Schwabs have reportedly denied all the allegations.
Fair enough.
Innocent to proven guilty.
Innocent to proven guilty.
Saying they were unsubstantiated and would be challenged in a lawsuit.
A statement sent on behalf of the family to some media outlets on Wednesday claimed Schwab had been the victim of a character assassination.
Also victim of being on camera.
As a saliva-sluicing global plutocrat.
The WF Board of Trustees has appointed the former Nestle Chief Executive, Peter Brabeck-Lemath, as interim chair.
Oh, we're okay then.
This guy's going to bounce right out of Nestle, home of the world's most intoxicating and ill-nutritious malnourishment-inducing baby milk formula, pushed upon the mothers of Africa for many a year, straight into the WEF chair.
Frying pan and fire scenario right there.
Schwab's resignation marks the end of the 54th.
How did you get that job?
I invented it.
And follows a previous board investigation into its workplace culture.
What was going on there?
It comes two years after a group of employees and former staff of the WF contacted The Guardian
Over concerns about how Schwab was running the organisation.
Why weren't the Guardian printing this stuff?
Earlier, the claim that Schwab was a law unto himself.
I'm going to do this now.
That's against the law.
I determine the law.
I will break the law and you will be happy.
And had surrounded himself with nobodies who were incapable of running the organization he founded in the early 70s.
It followed criticism that the WF's strategic partners, the firms that bankroll the business, were unhappy about the lack of succession strategy.
On Monday, Schwab issued a statement through the WF announcing his resignation, saying, Well,
Klaus Schwab is dead.
Long live Peter.
I mean, it's a name that doesn't slip off the tongue in the manner that Klaus Schwab's saliva does.
Peter Brayback Letmarth.
Oh man, that guy looks like a potential non-human entity.
That's what people are saying online.
But it's just another unsubstantiated piece of poetry that comes from the fact that on some level we recognise that power is migrating further and further from the hands of ordinary people.
And while we watch these dramas play out on a global stage, more and more of us are losing access to simple amenities like food and air and water.
Water shortages in the UK.
Blackouts across Spain and Portugal.
What are they preparing us for next?
I don't know what it will be.
None of us know.
But we do know that the results will be more authority, control and power for unelected officials.
More ways to sell us ideas, notions that will intrude upon our privacy and our personal freedom.
More likelihood that we'll be invited to place chips under our skin and vaccines into our veins.
All for the benefit of some peculiar end that I know.
No has to do with a counterfeiting of good.
False light instead of true light.
And a darkness that sometimes I scarcely dare look upon.
Certainly not without the holy power of our eternal Lord.
But that's just why I think, why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
That's all we have time for this week.
Remember, we stream every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Join us then next week for more of the same, not more of the different.
We're going to throw to the quarter in right now.
And thank you, Tim Carsten, Mud Club, for the raid at the beginning of the show.
See you next week.
Until then, if you can, stay free.
you
