“They Don’t Know What The F*CK They're Doing!" Trump SLAMS Israel&Iran for Breaking Ceasefire -SF602
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, Russell Brand and Russell Conspiracy Theorist trying to bring real journalism to the American people.
Hello there, you Awakening Wonders.
Thanks for joining me today on Stay Free with Russell Brand.
Today we're asking ceasefire or no ceasefire.
Let's give you a chronological breakdown of the last 24 hours and where we all stand in this evolving situation.
Secondarily, I suppose we could ask, do you suppose that current affairs events somehow function as a distracting, ever-shifting mandala that draws our focus to divisive issues so that we can't drop into a deeper level of consciousness where we can make more reasoned or more intuitive decisions?
You know, whether you see it as rational and reasonable or intuitive and deep, we can't continue to operate in this continually, this continually disruptive, shifting and ordering situation.
I want to thank Mug Club for the raid.
If you're joining us from there for the first time, welcome.
Isaac, come over and have a look at the Rumble chat if you would get that functioning and visible on my screen because I'm very interested in what you have to say about the situation.
If you move over there a little bit and just handle it there, that would be super helpful.
If you're watching us on X or YouTube, come and join us on Rumble as soon as you can.
Let's get into, first of all, the ceasefire, because for a minute, it seemed like there was a ceasefire, then the ceasefire has been withdrawn.
Now, some people don't even like the word ceasefire.
Let's have a quick look at this.
So here's the, we're going to try and talk you through it as deftly as I can.
We'll talk about this first of all.
Then we're going to be talking about the ICE raids.
We're going to be talking a little bit about AOC and Trump's spat.
And we've got some amazing, slightly lighter stories about a man proposing to his own AI.
There's so much to talk about today.
So let's see if we can get through this ceasefire situation first of all.
So as Trump announces that there is a ceasefire between Israel and Iran and an end to the 12-day war.
But, you know, before, it's in a sense a ceasefire on ceasefires because antipathy quickly resumed.
Have a look at this moment on CNN, which is enjoyable if abrupt.
Now, we're hearing incredibly optimistic views coming out of the White House as far as how long this can hold and what this is going to look like.
That obviously still remains to be seen on the implementation side of this and waiting to see if the firing does stop and if Iran and Israel do both agree to this.
Because, you know, speaking of the fluidity of the situation, it was just 24 hours ago that President Trump himself was suggesting a regime change in Iran was a possibility.
And obviously right before that, having the United States strike Iran.
And so, yes, there have been a lot of phone calls going back and forth.
In part, this has to do with Iran's limited response earlier where they fired on a U.S. base in Qatar.
But there were no casualties.
We know that they did give a heads up that they were going to be firing on U.S. bases without exactly specifying which ones.
But that is the question here, is if the United States felt that it did not need to respond to the Iranian retaliation, did that create the space for this?
That is what we've been hearing from administration officials.
And so the question is whether or not this still holds for the next few hours.
Caitlin, I've just been given word that Iran, according to a diplomat who briefed CNN, Iran has agreed to the ceasefire.
So this is significant.
I just want to try to learn some more information as soon as we get it about that.
But if that is the case, that's incredibly significant because that is, we were waiting, we had not heard from Iran.
We had not heard from Israel.
All we were going on so far has been the president's social media post, which was some two hours ago.
So again, that is the first indication we have that Iran has agreed to this.
Okay, that was a million years ago, like yesterday when there was a ceasefire.
Here's JD Voss.
We're going to talk you through all of it.
And I bet while we're talking, ceasefire come, ceasefire go.
In a way, what we're dealing with, I suppose, is the never-ending anxiety of constant stimulation through media.
I was reading Surprise by Joy by C.S. Lewis yesterday.
And he was saying that it was a bad habit to read newspapers, like, because he's obviously writing in like the 19, this was probably in the 1950s, I'm figuring.
Because you're constantly, your attention is gliding from like a marital matter, some scintillating story.
Then you're reading about a flood in India.
Then you're reading about a war elsewhere.
Can you imagine how great minds such as those of C.S. Lewis or Gandhi, who said we were infatuated by gadgetry, would respond to this state of cyclical stimulation that we live in now?
Like, in a way, we're almost analyzing every vibration that comes out of Trump's mind or mouth or his social media posts.
Incessant, almost immediately redundant media.
And I reckon our role, let me know what you think about this in the chat, whether you're on locals like my friend Blessed Old Bird or Distracting Carrot, new on Rumble.
Thanks for joining us.
Isn't our role to somehow engage with eternity, to have some aspect of our consciousness and our being that's outside of time while we have to manage our individual lives, our family lives, our community lives, our personal lives, our financial lives amidst this storm that sometimes seems all-consuming and sometimes utterly redundant and irrelevant, even when we're talking about war.
Here's J.D. Vance talking about the ceasefire when there was a ceasefire.
If you've just joined us, we're talking about ceasefires, anti-ceasefires.
In a minute, we'll be talking about AOC and Trump.
We'll be talking about the fractures that are continually occurring in the political space as it tries to hold itself together as forms of centralization try to assert when the tendency is towards, I would say now, decentralization.
That's what's being resisted.
Let's have a look.
When I left the White House, I thought that we might be able to get it across the finish line before this broadcast, and it looks like the president has been able to do that.
I mean, look, he's been working the phones constantly.
Frankly, before the 12-day war started, but certainly over the past 12 days, the president's been extremely clear about America's national objective here.
It is to create a world where Iran cannot build a nuclear weapon.
We, of course, destroyed the nuclear program that they had, and the president told the entire team we're going to work to make sure that they don't try to rebuild that nuclear capability in the future.
So there's a tempt to sort of brand it as a 12-day war, but it's lasting longer than that, breaking District Court Judge Audrey Trump to restart war with Iran.
Nice little joke from Tim Paul.
Thanks, Tim, and Tim Cast for the raid.
Thanks, Crowder, for the raid.
Remember, if you don't have Rumble Premium yet, get Rumble Premium.
You get additional content, not just from us here at Stay Free, but also from Glenn Greenwald and Tim Paul and Mug Club and stuff.
It's pretty good.
Right, Sagar NG, he's a vocal Republican and good independent media journalist.
Here's his take on this, because right now we're in an unceasefire, although we might be transitioning to another ceasefire any moment.
And what we're putting to you, and what we're asking you, is how are you personally going to cope with an endless cycle of news, endless spats?
And are you beginning to think that no matter which way you vote or whichever way you place your political affiliation and personal energy, that you're going to end up in some centralized system that benefits perpetual war or requires perpetual war in order for itself to benefit, I suppose is a better way of phrasing that.
That you're not really going to be able to get purchase or real change.
Do you see that the system itself, the Leviathan, the Goliath, the monster, is beginning to crack and quake?
That's how I feel.
Let me know what you feel, though.
Oh, here's Sir Guyanj.
Look, I'll happily take whatever it is Trump is now saying, but the idea that yellow lighting a regime change war by Israel, wiping out facilities without destroying Ukrainian stockpiles, admitted to using diplomacy as a ruse, calling for regime change, and then the next day saying you want world peace for some grand master plan is genuinely laughable.
The sheer schizophrenia of US policy in the last week should give very few confidence that this is serious and can't start again at any time.
In a minute, we'll be showing us a rare clip of Trump actually using expletives.
For all of the talk of vulgarity, it's not often that you see the commander-in-chief resorting to curse words.
But that's coming up in a moment.
Firstly, though, here's Israel claiming that Iran violated the ceasefire agreement.
Fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran looks to be on the brink of collapse.
In the last half hour, Israel said it had identified new missile strikes launching its way from Iran.
Those were intercepted, but Israel's defense minister has instructed his military to respond forcefully to what he's described as a violation of the truce.
Okay, so Trump ordered Israel not to retaliate.
In caps, do not drop those bombs.
If you do, it's a major violation.
Bring your pilots home.
Donald J. Trump.
Even for those of us that have ever since the golden escalator moment followed Trump, his mastery at maneuvering media spaces through direct guerrilla style social media use are now witnessing, I suppose, a new expression of social media government.
Like it was weird, wasn't it, to watch Anderson Cooper say, well, these updates are just coming from President Trump's Truth Social.
And now we're watching international diplomacy, or if not international diplomacy, the PR component of international diplomacy being conducted directly on social media, a social media site that the president owns.
It's really, really unusual.
Coming up in the show, we'll be talking about ICE and deportations and Joe Rogan expressing some concern about how this is unfolding.
If you lose Joe Rogan, do you lose the right?
If you lose Tucker Carlson, do you lose MAGA?
What is happening to the once broad base of MAGA?
Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
Are you Trump forever?
Or do you think that this is an interesting moment for assessing state power, even when alloyed to a nationalist, populist candidate and somewhat, you know, gosh, let's face it, a unique leader like Donald Trump?
So here's another post.
This is Trump saying that Israel is not going to attack Iran.
All planes will turn around and head home while doing a friendly plane wave to Iran.
Nobody will hurt.
The ceasefire is in effect.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Then subsequently, Israel confirms it attacked a target in Iran.
And here now, the moment where Trump expresses with expletives.
So prepare yourself.
I mean, this is a free speech platform.
If you're watching this on X or YouTube or anyone else or anywhere else, excuse me.
Join us over on Rumble.
We'll be with you for a while today.
We make a lot of content over here.
We've got some fantastic and insightful interviews coming up.
Marjorie Taylor Green coming up.
Eric Grins, we've got loads of stuff coming up today.
So do join us on Rumble where you can speak freely.
For example, the Dave Meyer says Tucker isn't MAGA.
Then there's someone saying that the Nazis in China, Joe Rogan's getting called a libtard in the chat.
But, you know, hey, man, people are expressing free speech.
I'm a proud Trump supporter, says Miguel with a bunch of numbers.
Why don't you join the conversation over there?
Here's Trump expressing his, I suppose, despair, disappointment, despondency at his inability to bend reality, particularly when it comes to this ancient, troubling, and endlessly fracturing region.
Yeah, I do.
They violated it, but Israel violated it too.
Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I've never seen before.
The biggest load that we've seen.
I'm not happy with Israel.
You know, when I say, okay, now you have 12 hours.
You know, in the first hour, you just drop everything you have on it.
I'm not happy with that.
I'm not happy with the rocket either.
But I'm really unhappy if you're going to have this morning because the one rocket that we just Basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing.
Do you understand that?
That seems like genuine frustration from Trump.
Let me know if you think that's his unique insight into Trump dealing with, hence the far unseen levels of frustration.
You know, this is a person that's very successful in a variety of areas of life.
He's been president of the United States before.
I don't feel like his previous presidency was defined in the way this one is likely to be by geopolitics in the Middle Eastern region.
Let me know what you guys think in the comments and chat.
A lot of you like that, hub.
That's another example of Trump communicating in a way that would have been unthinkable, I suppose, through Barack Obama.
Is that his Barack Obama fist bump moment?
Kind of an insight to a cultural aspect of a president that some people will like, others won't like.
If it's consistency you're looking for, look to Lindsey Graham.
He wants war.
He always wants war.
War, war, and more war.
Here he is agitating for war.
It's about a religious agenda.
Why do they do what they do?
Religious, fanatical beliefs, a master religion for the world.
And if you don't believe that, you have missed a lot.
That's what they want.
And the only way they're not going to get there is for somebody to stop them.
What did Hitler want?
To take over the entire world and create a master race.
Anybody that didn't fit his definition of the right kind of person was imprisoned or killed.
The Eito and his henchmen have that same view, but it's religiously driven.
It's interesting to watch Lindsey Graham standing by Matt comparing various people to Nazis and likely supporting further military action.
Here's Matt Walsh.
I can't understand why voters in South Carolina keep re-electing this lunatic war mongo.
Let's have a look at Fox News, who some believe are a virulently anti-Trump organization.
Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
A lot of people saying that Lindsey Graham is just straight up gay.
Chatarex, war bitch, Lindsay likes him young.
There you go.
Graham is an idiot.
I don't know.
Do we have any evidence of that?
It certainly seems to be a pretty consistent rumor and joke.
I don't know if there's any evidence of it or if it would necessarily be a problem.
It's more the warmonger, isn't it?
Do you think that the warmonger is a kind of an expression of repression?
I know I've heard Tucker Carlson say some things that, All right, let's have a look at Mark Levin.
He's attacking Trump's peace deal and maybe like claiming that ceasefires are impossible in this situation.
So far, we've seen Sagar talking about the fact that it's unlikely you're going to get a stable peace at this fragile time.
You've seen Trump expressing frustration.
You're seeing a lot of the MAGA base saying, hey, why are we waging war?
And of course, Lindsey Graham wants more war.
Marjorie Taylor Green, we happen to know, feels betrayed.
She's coming on the show pretty soon.
Is she coming on next week?
Is it next week that we're seeing Marjorie Taylor Greene?
We'll get some confirmation of that a little later.
Here's Fox News.
The truth, too.
So we have a ceasefire.
I hate this word ceasefire.
I really do.
The president hated it a few days ago, too.
What's needed now is this, in my humble opinion.
Iran should be forced to sign a surrender document.
Unconditional surrender.
They lost their nuke.
God, it's confusing, isn't it?
Let's have a look at Tucker here claiming that Fox News hates Trump.
I suppose, look, what we're trying to work out is what is the truth in this complex unfolding situation?
And let me know if there's a point where you feel like, well, I can't continue to hold all of this in my mind.
Like, who are you going to rely on here?
Like, AOC, a Democrat interpretation, legacy media interpretation?
People bring so much to this, don't they?
People bring their loathing of Trump or their love of Trump or their financial commitments to the military-industrial complex.
Where are you going to get truth?
I suppose by stepping outside of this state of continual flux that's facilitated, yes, by centralized media, but also now significantly contributed to by independent media sources because it's just endless, endless sort of conflict and drama around a never-ending fluctuating situation.
Let's have a look at this.
But Levin, again, doesn't care about the United States, and they're all wearing the Trump skin suit right now because they think it suits their purposes.
These are people who hated Trump.
They're anti-Trump.
They're never Trump.
And that would include a lot of people on Fox News who I worked with for 15 years.
I know what their political views are.
They're my colleagues.
They hate Trump.
They hate him personally.
They hate his agenda.
They hate his economic views.
And they really hate his foreign policy views, which in private they describe as insane and isolationist.
He's a Nazi and all this stuff.
I mean, they really have contempt for him.
They kept him off the air at Fox News while I was there against my protests.
So that's all true.
And it's very frustrating as a literal person who cares about what's true to see people jumping up, Mark Levin or Laura Loomer, that's the world's creepiest human.
I don't even know where she came from or who she is exactly, but she's running around.
I'm Donald Trump's, you know, defender.
It's bizarre.
Champion.
Champion.
And I'm the arbiter of what it means to be for America, someone who, again, has no interest in the United States, demonstrated no interest.
So I think it's just important.
It's not a matter of score settling.
And I don't care what Mark Levin does in his private life.
I don't care what his opinions are.
Laura Loomer, I'm not even really sure who she is.
However, if people like that are able to take over a political movement whose stated goal is to serve the United States first and Foremost, America first, make America great again.
If those people can take control of that political movement, first of all, it's an offense against reality and truth, but second, it's really dangerous for the country.
I mean, they washed out of the Democratic Party, the same people, and now they're trying to take over the Republican Party.
You know, how about no?
Unbroken track record of failure, unbroken track record of ideas that hurt the United States in measurable ways, impoverished the United States, put us in unpayable debt, killed a ton of people, destabilized the world, caused a refugee crisis in Europe, destroyed Europe.
That's a lot of destruction for one group of people and one set of really bad ideas, the John Boltons, the Bill Crystals.
Can they be allowed to take over the Trump White House?
No.
How about no?
Just as an American, I mean, I don't really care what people think of me at this point.
I'm 56. You were wrong.
Well, yeah, I've been wrong many, many times.
I'll be wrong many, many more times.
But the one thing I am is sincere.
I really mean it.
I don't care about the effect on me.
I just, I don't want to relive Iraq.
And I know the people who did it.
I've lived among them.
I defended it.
I repeated their talking points.
Not doing that again.
And we came really close to doing that again because of Mark Levin and Laura Loomer and the rest of these morons who've never even left New Jersey.
Like they don't know anything about the world.
That's the other thing.
I think Tucker Carlson is sincere.
Let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
Tucker Carlson advocating for peace and for the agenda of an America-first political movement not to be hijacked by perennial warmongery.
Let me know what you think about that in the comments and chat.
This is an interesting moment on, I think, CNN where this is sort of being pitched as a kind of victorious moment in a tit for tat spat.
Who caused more deaths?
Was it Obama or is it Trump?
But in a sense, are we not at the point where we're starting to recognize that there are institutional and systemic ways of maneuvering the political machine of your great nation towards an agenda that seems to be at least somewhat extra-American, extraterrestrial, outside of the U.S.?
Let me know what you think in comments and chat.
I worked for an anti-war president and I saw He ran against the people.
How many countries would you say?
Well, that's what I was going to say here.
Cornell Wes Sieg used to come on the show a lot.
I like that dude.
I like just rocking his way through the interview, just rocking away.
Do you think that you're going to get reasonable or valuable contributions in the circus of legacy media?
Are you like me reaching a point where the fever pitch is so high that it's not like I want to tune out of it, but I'm recognizing that this is not the frequency that's going to deliver truth.
There's so much shash, so much white noise, so much distraction, so much agitation, so much overstimulation.
You know, this is a kind of ADHD age.
All of us feel like we've got some sort of attention deficit disorder.
All of us are inundated with too much information continually.
Is this not the time that, like me, you crave eternal dependency?
Man, we've got a lot of stories to talk about today.
A lot of stories.
We're just going to wrap up where we are in this ceasefire before turning towards, well, there's the ICE rage.
There's what's going on in the UK.
There's a man trying to marry his own telephone.
Damn it.
There's so much for us to consider.
Let's just round off this story.
If you're watching us on YouTube or X, please join us on Rumble.
Get into the conversation with Land Shark and Debbie McCaffrey and Meading.
Or join us on locals, my beloved friends like Mrs. CMS and Thomas Beard.
Beautiful people.
Beautiful conversations, big, beautiful bills.
That's what I was going to say.
I know.
Like you guys didn't just use bombs for diplomacy?
Do you want to put your scorecards up against each other?
I'm happy to put up with you.
I got a lot of scorecards.
Let me let her finish.
No one knows anything.
No one knows anything.
God knows all.
At a point where we are stimulated into near hysteria continually by media, I reckon you and me have an obligation to turn away from it.
I'm not saying that we negate it into isolationism.
I'm not suggesting that we ignore the plight of the many suffering people in the world, but that we recognize that this continual agitation, this hive of constant stimulation, is not going to lead to a solution.
That's what I think.
Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
Let's revere sincere voices.
Let's support people that advocate for peace.
Let's support those that recognize the complexity and the singular truth that on both sides of this dispute, when you're looking at, for example, the region of the Middle East, there are reasonable people and that the most reasonable outcome is peace, harmony, to look into one another's eyes and try to find the divine, the sublime, the Christ in one another.
Or perhaps we can just lose ourselves in incessant, colliating cells of chaos and nonsense.
The UK are agitating for further conflict.
Of course they bloody well are.
The threat of Iranian attacks in the UK could increase.
My country is captured.
The government of the United Kingdom will always agitate for further war, for further control, for cozy authoritarianism.
Let us pray that some peace may emerge from this.
If you're watching us on YouTube or X, please join us over on Rumble.
Here's a quick message from one of our partners.
We'll be back in a minute talking about ICE RAIDs.
We'll be talking about Joe Rogan.
We'll be talking about AI and how it's impacting us even at the interpersonal level of the human heart.
A man asked his phone to marry him.
Where do we go next?
Have a look at this.
Free speech is under attack, Jack, but Rumble refuses to take it lying down.
Rumble is farting out the fierce cock of authoritarianism and clamping shut the butt cheeks of free speech, baby.

How about an example of some of those motion graphics?
Look at that.
There's Ask a Jew where we turn to the Jews to ask them about, well not the Jews, a Jew, as a matter of fact.
It's Isaac.
He's got a name.
He's a lovely person.
And I want to thank Else Blake also for the rebrand.
Here's a brief clip that includes, does this include some of her work?
Oh yeah.
It does.
All of it's her work.
Look at all that.
Look at that RB stay free with the lightning bolt in the top corner.
She's done a good job there.
That should be on a t-shirt, shouldn't it?
Oh yeah.
I'd buy it.
I'd buy a hat.
What about a hat?
Let's start conjuring up some merch.
Did you see someone in the chat say Russell's wearing a lovely floral print blouse today?
Cool.
Check out the back of this little guy.
There she is.
The Holy Mother.
Nice stuff.
Hey, listen, on Russell Brand Unpacked, we take a deep dive and a deeper look at news stories.
It's generally funnier as well.
I did a brilliant one earlier today on the story of this guy marrying his AI.
That'll be available probably tomorrow.
So do be sure and check those out.
Here's a little bit of one now.
I think this is about the UK inauguring various ID proposals.
Yes, to help us.
Russell always has some nice blouses, says scene 03. Let's have a look at this, just like a minute of these unpacked things that we do.
If you're from the UK, you will be forced to carry digital ID.
How are they going to do that when we're so cynical about government authority and government power after we saw during the pandemic that we absolutely can't trust them?
Well, call it a brick card and claim that it's an anti-migration measure.
Tony Blair, that extraordinary cohort of George W. Bush when it came to the massacre of children in Iraq, is back.
We cannot continue with business as usual and change is inevitable.
This is where technology like digital ID becomes critical.
My institute's own analysis.
Oh, have you got an institute for us?
Thank you for going to so much trouble.
If you're English, like I am, you'll have so many recollections of Tony Blair turning up on your television set and telling you how to feel about things.
Princess Diana has died.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Princess Diana's family.
She was the people's princess.
Yeah?
Who killed her?
We're going to be going to Iraq.
I gave the order for British forces to take part in military action in Iraq.
Sending our armed forces our thoughts and prayers.
You will have a great catalogue, a kind of mental roller deck of the times you've seen Tony Blair come out and lie to you.
Just remember a minute ago they were telling us that immigration is our strength, like diversity as our strength.
They don't care about migration.
Migration's a good thing.
Now they're telling us that migration is a really bad thing and you need to have a digital ID or the better rebranded BRIC card.
Let's call it the OASIS card.
It's your Spice Girl card.
It's your Disney World Free Pass.
You can call it whatever you want.
What it is, is the legitimization of authority.
What it is and what it will always be is control that they mask behind care.
Hey, listen, if you're watching this on YouTube, we're going to leave you now simply so that we can discuss drag queens performing in the Oregon House of Representatives to celebrate the passing of a resolution that marks the artistry of black drag performers.
When?
Oh, when will we recognize the artistry of black drag performers?
Right, one hand, there's Iran-Israel about to push the world into total oblivion, but when will someone acknowledge black drag artists in Oregon?
dream to come, always be strong.
Whoa, a deep love, a deep love, a deep love.
Pretty good, actually.
I think I'm glad we've acknowledged that.
That's some good black drag.
Nothing wrong with culture.
Nothing wrong with black drag artistry in Oregon.
Cool.
Cool.
Cheers us right up.
Now, Jake Tapper is selling a book and there's nothing he won't say in order to sell it.
I think he's still saying, Jake Tapper of CNN, did you know that Joe Biden was old?
That's just it.
He was old.
And as a result of being as old as he was, some of his decisions may have been poorly.
And also, it's possible he won't even make him those decisions.
Like, Jake Tapper is realizing now what many people realize when they watch the presidential debates between Biden and Trump, Joe Biden was too old to possibly be operating the levers of power in the manner one would expect of a sitting president.
I think Jake Tapper goes one further than usual by quoting Orwell.
George Orwell once wrote that, Quote, we are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right.
Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time.
The only check on it is that sooner or later, a false belief bumps up against a solid reality, usually on a battlefield.
Now, when George Orwell wrote that, he was talking about World War II.
He wrote, quote, the Germans and the Japanese lost the war quite largely because the rulers were unable to see facts which were plain to any dispassionate eye.
And then he said, and this is one of my favorite quotes ever, to see what is in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle.
And that's the lesson for me.
We all saw it happening and we all refused to see it.
I didn't refuse to see it.
I couldn't see anything else.
There are pieces where I think he visibly soiled his own pantaloons.
There's no way that you could avoid seeing that Joe Biden was elderly and decrepit.
One of the things that prevented us from seeing it was the constant deception emerging primarily from who was that guy?
Oh yeah, Jake Tapper.
Most notably, and perhaps at the apex of this phenomenon, was when he said to Lara Bush, what about kids with stutters and stabbers?
Joe Biden is a healthy, vibrant man who just happens to stammer.
And when you criticise Joe Biden, stammering kids across America will be deluged with ridicule.
Now, I don't know what George Orwell would have made of that, but I reckon he might have lunged at Jake Tapper, gripped him by his testes until the one on the left, the bigger of the two, was popped.
And he may have used the subsequent fluid as a kind of dipping sauce, like a chicken-fillet.
I'm an Englishman.
I'm allowed to predict what I reckon Orwell will do with the ball bag of Jake Tapper.
He might not have done it.
There's a variety of things he could have done, but it just does seem no less absurd than what I've just said, that Jake Tapper is doing a book tour in which he cites Orwell when he participated in a big brother-like global deception when it came to covering up the senility of Joe Biden.
That's just what I think, though.
Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
Now, Whitney Cummings was on, let me have a look.
I think she might have been on Bill Maher.
But this is interesting.
Gareth, who prepares the content for the show, said that we would like this because she talks about how when you become a parent, your anti-gun stance might significantly alter.
Let's have a look.
It's been fascinating because I've been on this sort of journey through motherhood where, you know, I've always been a very liberal person, maybe even lived hard.
But once you have a kid, you start like having thoughts that have been characterized as conservative.
As soon as I had a kid, I was like, I need a gun now for myself because I've got coyotes in my yard.
I've got coyotes everywhere.
And before I had a kid, I was like, they coexist with us.
Coyotes were here first.
I'm in the coyote's home now.
I'm like, let's make hats out of them.
Let's make coyote boots, coyote earrings out of their eyeballs.
Like, it's just.
That's kind of lovely, wasn't it?
Whitney Cummings.
She's cool and funny.
Is that a common journey?
Listen, I'm English, right?
I'm not from here.
I love guns.
Like, or just on a kind of like, whoa, the sweet glory, the power of the firearm.
But as a symbol, I suppose what it represents to me is personal freedom against supposed authority of the government.
Not that one imagines oneself in armed combat with your own government, but as a symbol of your own authority, well, there's nothing quite like a firearm, except maybe a firearm in a coyote holster.
You lot, you got guns around the Smith household?
Yep.
I have a gun under the bed.
Safely.
Safely.
Yeah, yeah.
You got a gun, Isaac?
Just a Jewish space laser.
That's all.
That's all.
Just protecting that iron dome above the beloved mango tree.
We don't have a gun yet, but we're getting them.
We're getting a couple of blow guns.
Oh, yeah.
I don't like that idea, Jake.
We don't have to kill the squirrels.
I'm just we're going to have them here in case we won't need to.
Is it that when you mimed what you were about to purchase, it looked like you were going to get like a sort of it looked like a blow pipe.
Yeah, it's like a pipe and you've got to shoot squirrels out of the out of the out of the trees for your own amusement.
I mean, for protection if the squirrels attack us.
Yeah, they're virulent, aren't they?
They should be shot right out of the sky.
Let me know what you think about that in the comments and chat.
I bet Russell's bodyguards have plenty of answers.
I don't have bodyguards, baby.
I'm out there.
I am the bodyguard.
I am.
And I'm Whitney Houston.
I'm a whole cast of that.
Always keep your rifle by your side.
Hey, listen, this is Tucker Carlson, friend of the show and friend full stop, saying that Moscow is nicer than anywhere in the UK.
Many people have been talking about the UK as a place in steep and serious decline.
And, you know, there's a point where social democracy and neoliberalism fail so dramatically that state communism, a la Russia, would become favorable.
And the claim being made here by Tucker is that when it comes to Moscow versus, well, he says any British city, it already is.
Let's have a look.
I mean, if I would just, I know the Brits feel this way, especially.
Oh, yeah.
They've convinced themselves that Russia is their greatest enemy.
It's bizarre.
But, you know, if I were Putin, I would offer free first-class trips to Moscow so they could see that like Moscow is so much nicer than any place in Great Britain.
It's like not even close.
There's no part of Great Britain that's as nice as Moscow.
It's like probably an upgrade for them.
I mean, their leadership is so bad.
Their country is so degraded.
I think a lot of them, I think the Brits are starting, I will say, I think they're starting to come around a bit.
It's weird that they're mad at Putin.
Why aren't they mad at Kier Starmer?
Why aren't they mad at the fake conservative Rishi Sunak?
you know what I mean?
Hey, listen, the UK is changing real fast.
I reckon we'll see new emergent political movements.
Who knows where it will come from?
Will it be Andrew Tate?
We're talking about him a little later.
Or are there too many people sort of opposed to his kind of contemporary online chauvinism?
Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
Will it come from the direction of Tommy Robinson, his patriotism and nationalism, which many people are uncomfortable with because of the very public positions he's taken around migration and the Islamification, probably the type of word he would use, I reckon, of the UK?
I think we're going to be speaking to Tommy Robinson soon, as a matter of fact.
I think that's coming up on this show.
I'm interested in new alliances, new political alliances, as the political space in the UK and indeed the world continues to shift.
There are, there is there potential, one might ask, for alliances between figures strongly identified with the left, figures strongly identified with the right.
Something's got to happen to change this peculiar institutional inertia, this drift towards forever wars and authoritarianism through care.
We just saw that Brit ID card, kind of a lingering Tony Blair idea being enacted now in order to protect us relatedly against migration.
That's the argument.
I'm not suggesting that protection from migrants ought be the raison d'être of a nation.
But again, if you have a nation, that does mean borders, that does mean boundaries.
This is a time of complexity and confusion.
My focus personally is individual freedom through surrender to God.
Now, if you don't have that as an option available to you, Lord alone knows what kind of chaos you would embrace.
Since I've been out of the country, there's this fellow called Thomas Skinner, who many people are talking about as a potential mayoral candidate.
But listen, we consider that the roles themselves are so co-opted and owned, it doesn't really matter who you place in those individual roles.
Let me know.
Happy Saturday evening.
You lovely people.
Now in the garden, I've seen this dude before.
I like this dude.
I like this.
Garden.
Hey, the smells on Fort.
Look at this.
Come in here, right?
Look at that.
All the sausages.
All the steaks.
That's England.
That there.
That's England.
Listen, we've got all the kids playing.
It's a mummy from the Freddy.
She's in that snoop milk, but she's myself.
All the kids are here.
And do you know what's been happening today?
The sun's been shining.
I am Red Rocks, I'm a bit like, Come and say hello.
We have got the UK's number one moment, right?
Here she is.
This lovely lady here.
19 kids she's got.
My name is Stevie.
He's famous now.
Stevie's cancer.
Have a burger.
Tweed him, tweeted and tweeted.
And my beautiful wife.
I'm a burger.
Listen, have a lovely Saturday.
I'm Sunburn.
I'm red and I'm peace.
Have a great day.
That's England, mate.
That's the England that we believe in.
That's the reassertion of the English identity right there.
Angel Shaishan.
Russell loves his Jew masters and is an advocate of white genocide.
I am not an advocate of white genocide.
I love Jews.
I love Muslims.
I love all God's children.
What did you make of that Englishman, Jake?
I like him.
Yeah, he's good.
Have him as mayor.
Yeah, I would vote.
I'd vote for him.
Yeah, so would I. So would I. He gets my vote.
Have him as mayor.
That's what I say.
Check this out.
Bonnie Blue meets Andrew Tate.
This, in the new pantheon, you have Mars, Andrew Tate, a sort of god of emergent masculinity.
You have Bonnie Blue, Venusian.
You know that venereal disease, the term venereal disease, comes from the same root as Venus.
You know that, right?
That it's about erotica and love and transmission.
Now, where do we stand as we enter into this new pagan age?
If we're not going to embrace God, if we're not going to fall down at the foot of the cross, who knows what leaders we may elect?
Who knows what gods, what idols we may find ourselves worshiping?
Now, I've had conversations with Andrew Tate and I want to approach Andrew Tate in a good faith way.
I think he's a brave person.
I think that many of his detractors and attackers are trying to bring him down because he's popular and successful.
Listen, it's difficult for me at the moment.
I'm a person that's at the end of a barrel of the gun myself.
But me, what I would say, Bonnie Blue meets Andrew Tate.
What will come from this?
What will come from this conversation?
Where will we end up?
Where will we go, Cotton I Joe?
Let's have a look at this, little chat.
I think we should do a breeding competition.
We'll see if you can get a girl pregnant quicker than I can get pregnant.
I mean, that'd be a good competition.
I think I...
I'm a clear example of what women have fought for for years.
Wow.
They are, though.
Women are stupid.
They're stupid.
So Bonnie's just the smartest.
She's the Wall Street banker of this hoe shit.
Okay, so do you vote?
No.
Okay, she's perfect.
This is the kind of women we need.
This is fun.
So Bonnie's a hoe.
I don't want to insult Bonnie Blue.
You can't insult me.
I mean, you called her a hoe when I last talked to you.
No, I said she was a whore.
I mean, if you had an 18-year-old son, would you send him to me on his 18th birthday?
Right, Rob, on your son's 18th birthday, I'll be stood on the driveway with a balloon and a happy birthday card.
I'll take his virginity tape, but I'll take him to a safe, controlled environment.
I'm not going to cry rape the next day.
Rob, you should do it.
Okay, would you send your son to Bonnie?
Age 18, birthday.
I don't need to, but you need to.
Andrew, I do father and son as well.
Do you?
Yeah.
No, thanks.
Brother and brother?
No, thank you.
You're not trans, and I knew you weren't trans.
Is that because you've had multiple wanks?
No, it's that because you left this at my last event.
Oh, you don't want to touch it?
I thought you might be thirsty.
You want to rinse it for cum?
Oh, dear.
Oh, dear.
Oh, God.
Actually, we better pray.
We better pray.
We better pray.
I don't like that.
I don't like that.
Heavenly Father.
Look, you know, the truth is this, Lord.
When I'm watching, like, the news reports on Iran, Israel.
The constant confusion, the bewilderment that comes from witnessing people try to understand geopolitics and complex, cacophonous voices that drown out reason but beyond reason to drown out truth in this space, it's difficult not to yield to bewilderment and confusion.
And when you see the normalization of pornography and promiscuity and hedonism, I recognise my own contribution to normalising pleasure as a kind of coordinate to guide you.
I recognise the deep, deep need for your return and for your presence, Lord.
Oh, Heavenly Father, show us how we can be useful so that we're not just one more noise in this space.
What do people need, Lord?
We need to depend on you.
Everywhere people are reaching out with dependent hands that will wither yet, Father, as they reach the false gods and false idols.
As these golden calves and mollocks and poles tumble, Father, Lord, will you show us through the stream of deep truth that's available to us at our core?
Lord, may we put the belt of truth around our waists.
May we receive your righteousness by grace.
May we recover the dignity and grace that is ours by birthright.
We bear your signature.
We bear your hallmark, Lord.
May we grow in your favour.
Show us what words you would have us speak.
Show us what light you would have us shine.
Show us, Father, how we may grow in grace and in favour in your name.
Show us how we may represent and demonstrate your face, not fall ourselves into the pursuit of mammon and money and hypocrisy.
Show us how to embrace our flaws and our weakness, Lord, that you may be strong in us.
We are broken, we are weak, we are fallen, and only the covenant of your blood can save us.
Thanks, Lord, for dying for us.
Thanks for going up onto that cross, for enduring suffering and fear and terror and dread and agony and anguish because the debt needed to be paid.
Thanks for paying that debt for us, Father.
Thanks for sending your Son, Father.
Thank you, Jesus Christ, for making that supreme sacrifice.
Thank you for your blood.
Thank you for the gift of the advocacy of the Holy Spirit.
May we become temples for him.
May we here in the temporal amidst what appears to be decay, make ourselves fit for your use, Lord.
Oh, help us, Father.
Amen.
Amen.
Russell, you just got done talking about exploding testicles.
Yep.
I know.
I'm definitely, definitely not perfect.
I'm really happy with that diagnosis.
Auction off your shirts for charity.
I suppose maybe that would be enough.
You better believe that I'm considering a total withdrawal.
A total withdrawal.
Go live in the woods.
Go live quietly in the woods and get out of it.
Oh, man.
Get out of it.
Listen, I ain't judging no one.
I've got no time to judge anyone.
Let's have a quick word from our sponsors while I'll get my head back together.
1775, baby!
7075!
You want a revolution?
You need a revolution.
What are you doing?
Drinking coffee that looks like it's been fired out of the ass of Grutetunberg?
Give a tin bag.
I've just had a cup of 1775 and now I'm vibrating on such a high frequency that Terence McKender's machine elves are telling me how to do this advert.
Man, it's completely possible that these entities and beings are interfacing with us right now.
This isn't your nan's free dried sadness in a tin.
This isn't the dregs of a wrung-out sanitary product.
This is real coffee.
You don't sip it, you experience it.
I had a cup this morning and accidentally started a new religion.
It doesn't whisper, it breaks into your subconscious like a caffeinated raccoon rifling through the flaming garbage and screams, rise, you beautiful dumpster wizard.
History isn't going to rewrite itself.
1775, coffee is single origin, high attitude, organic, small batch roasted beans.
What does that mean in normal personal terms?
It means that Lady Liberty herself is French kissing your taste buds while bald eagles harmonize in the background.
Come away, I let's see that image.
This coffee makes you feel seen, makes you feel alive, makes you feel like charging into Parliament on horseback with a scroll of forbidden knowledge and a cinnamon stick.
I declare myself the new leader of these islands.
1775, the revolution is coming into you, baby.
Only available in America.
So if you're drinking something brewed for equity, packaged for compliance and roasted for softness, spit it out.
Get yourself a proper brew, Bonnie Blue.
Spit it out fast.
Go to 1775coffee.com slash brand and lock in on their star kit with free coffee and merge.
This coffee could bring Trump and Musk back together.
This coffee could give Keir Starmer a hard-on that could beat down the gates of Parliament.
This coffee could make...
It's good coffee.
That's enough.
Drink it, you sick paedophiles, before we release Epstein's list on you.
Okay.
Okay.
Here we are, teetering individually and collectively on the very edge of enlightenment and awakening.
Awaken, ye.
Awaken.
There's nothing for us to do.
There's nothing for us to do.
He did it for us.
Thank God.
Right, we don't have to do anything.
So, if you're watching Us on X and you want to see me talk right now about the mayoral election in New York and how a socialist candidate might be about to open state-run supermarkets in New York City, click the link in the description.
Join us on Rumble.
Get in with Joseph Stylin and Ben Cancelled and Distracting Carrot and T7000, all in a free speech hoedown right now.
They're saying some crazy stuff over there.
Why don't you join them?
Or you can join our beloved friends in locals like Rectra81 and Thomas Beard.
How I love you, you beautiful, loyal, glorious folks.
Okay, now the world is in crisis, whether it's geopolitical, ethical, or moral.
We need the return of the Holy One in our individual hearts.
Yes, but collectively.
Is there a form of more localized democracy that might hold at least some possibilities for releasing and reducing tension?
Maybe what New York needs Is a socialist mayor.
Apparently, this candidate, Mamdani, is surging as a New York City mayoral primary candidate.
And he's Zoran Mamdani announces that he would launch government-run supermarkets if elected as mayor.
Let's have a look at this.
Grocery prices are out of control.
The cost of eggs and milk has skyrocketed.
Dumpstores are even using dynamic pricing, jacking up the cost over the course of a day depending on what they can get away with.
It doesn't need to be this way.
I'm Zohran Mamdani, and as mayor, I will create a network of city-owned grocery stores.
It's like a public option for produce.
We will redirect city funds from corporate supermarkets to city-owned grocery stores, whose mission is lower prices, not price gouging.
These stores will operate without a profit motive or having to pay property taxes or rent, and we'll pass on those savings to you.
I like him.
Why not have more decentralized power?
Why not have more local authorities?
Why don't we cast aside old labels like socialist and capitalist and left and right and focus instead on local community power?
Let me know what you think about that in the comments and chat.
The political conversation is certainly changing as Joe Rogan himself has said that he's got concerns about the ICE raids and deportations.
Let me know what you think about that.
Here is a Democrat commercial on the subject of deportations, suggesting that in extremists it might lead to mixed race couples being separated by deportation agents.
Let's have a look at this as well as Joe Rogan's comments on these ICE raids.
Is America dividing?
Is America dividing with good reason?
Is secession the solution?
Is the age of the nation as we understood it about to radically change?
Do we need new confederacies?
Do we need true democracy?
Do we need syndicates of new responsible power?
Do we need to end the age of the Leviathan?
Difficult sentence, actually.
I end the age of the Leviathan, the age of these teetering towers reaching continually upward, grasping, whether they are state fists are pummeling or corporate commercial palms are grasping.
Is this the age where them towers need to come down?
Do we need grassroots movements that transcend the old labels, that use present technology, whether communicative or fiscal and transactional, to create new communities?
Certainly, this age of division can't be held together in constant polarity for much longer.
Let's have a look at this new Democrat advertisement that's, I suppose, an expression of the anxiety and fear around the current deportations.
Had a really good time today.
Yeah, me too.
I really like...
She's coming with us.
What are you talking about?
Who are you?
I'm your Republican congressman.
Now that we're in charge, we're rounding up illegals.
She was born here.
She's a citizen.
I don't care.
She looks like one of them.
But don't worry.
When she's in prison in El Salvador, she'll have lots of company.
Oh, okay.
Well, that's an interesting piece of propaganda.
Let me know how you feel about that in the comments and chat.
In these AI-inspired media wars, we're going to see increasingly potent material exchanges.
I suppose that wasn't AI.
That's just a sort of regular piece of propaganda.
But it certainly expresses a good deal of growing concern around these deportations.
Of course, we know that the MAGA movement openly and publicly and explicitly campaigned on borders and walls and Americans first and deportation.
Let's see what Joe Rogan has to say, though, about these ice raids.
Ice raids are fucking nuts, man.
watching this protest on television.
It's like...
The protests are taking it a little too hard.
Well, I don't think if the Trump administration, if they're running and they said, we're going to go to Home Depot and we're going to arrest all the people at Home Depot, we're going to go to construction sites and we're going to just tackle people at construction sites.
I don't think anybody would signed up for that.
They said, we're going to get rid of the criminals and the gang members first, right?
And now we're seeing Home Depots get raided.
That's crazy.
Okay, but it's not a problem that's confined to America.
This sense of ongoing division, divisiveness and conflict and the inability to create a kind of social cohesion where the Irish agree what Ireland is for and about or the French agree what France is about.
This is just one further example of constant division that for me suggests that indeed the centre cannot hold.
We can't live anymore under human authority.
The state as God isn't working anymore.
There are protests in Dublin, anti-racism, anti-immigration demonstrations held in Dublin.
The world's tearing itself apart over this issue, it seems to me.
Here's Rebel News as a, I don't know how to describe Rebel News anymore, but certainly they were, Tommy Robinson was on there for a while and I believe the person that founds it and owns it is called Ezra Levant and they're a kind of a nativist Canadian organization that have, I suppose, garnered success as people come deeply cynical about global bureaucracies like the WF.
They've done really good reporting from Davos confronting globalists like CEOs of BlackRock and big pharma companies like Pfizer being given sort of staunch walks through the Davos snow with mic-wielding agitators.
Here they are talking about the migration protests in the north part of the country of Ireland.
Let's check that out.
We are not racist whatsoever.
Far right racist, far right racist.
People are sick.
And you are from a far right organisation.
I know I'm not racist.
My kids know I'm not racist.
That's all that matters to me.
We don't know who they are.
We don't know what their intentions are.
But the people who do call us racist, they tend to be comfortably middle-class people.
Brento, what do you think of that advertisement that suggests that the state are going to intervene In personal relations to make deportations.
That's kind of quite heightened, quite visceral.
That's an aggressive piece of campaign material, you might say.
But let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
When you saw the MAGA party, Trump and his Republican movement campaigning about deportations, did you see it the same way Joe Rogan did as being focused on criminal gangs and how do I want to describe this?
Illegal residents in the United States of America that were criminal and overtly criminal?
Or did you imagine that the guys that were hanging out at a Home Depot would be getting deployed?
Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
Now, wherever you stand on the issue of migration, you have to recognize that it's becoming increasingly contentious, whether it's the riots in California or the protests across Europe or this sense of dissatisfaction and unease.
Who benefits from it, by the way?
Do you see how either side, whether it's a sort of a liberal and cohesive melting pot perspective or a right-wing nativist nationalist deportum perspective, benefits when we are in conflict?
Let me know how you feel in the comments and share.
Middle class people?
So you think Northern Ireland can handle more and more foreigners?
More and more.
Absolutely.
Legal immigration.
100%.
Illegal.
We're all pinned forward.
We've all heard stories about young girls being approached in the streets.
Never white men attack young girls or husbands attack women, their wives.
Why is that not proof-hested?
So you Canadians wouldn't understand this'cause you were never refugees from anywhere.
*Screams*
Lincoln reporting for rebel news in Banker, Northern Ireland, which is a town just outside of Belfast.
Behind me is a group of concerned citizens who have been gathering for two and a half years in protest of this hotel, which has been converted into housing for migrants.
Tonight, however, people are also gathering in solidarity with a teenage girl who was allegedly sexually assaulted by two Roma migrants in the nearby town of Ballymina.
The alleged sexual assault sparked a peaceful protest that quickly escalated into riots across the region, with police and citizens clashing in the streets.
At the root of this anger is growing frustration over both illegal and legal migration into Northern Ireland.
In Ballymina, members of the Roma community have reportedly been involved in various crimes, including operating brothels, engaging in human trafficking, and prostitution.
It appears that the alleged sexual assault committed by individuals from that community was the tipping point that triggered widespread outrage.
Are we going to live forever in this constant fraught tension between native populations and migrant populations?
Are we going to live continually in this culture war where prominent individuals see America so discreetly and distinctly?
We didn't really even cover as we intended to the AOC Trump spat where icons of the left and right spar online.
Is it 38?
38. Have a look at this.
Is AOC?
Well, the original post is this.
Stupid AOC says Trump, one of the dumbest people in Congress, is now calling for my impeachment, despite the fact that crooked and corrupt Democrats have already done that twice before.
The reason for her ranting is because Democrats aren't used to winning.
Okay, so like he's really going for AOC here.
As the doctor in charge said, President Trump, okay, so he's identified AOC as a kind of icon of attack when it comes to, you know, he's, what, Okay, but here's her repost.
Mr. President, don't take your anger out on me.
I'm just a silly girl.
Take it out on whoever convinced you to betray the American people and our constitution by illegally bombing Iran and dragging us into war.
It only took you five months to break almost every promise that you made.
I wonder if there's a perspective available on this that's somewhat mythic, as we know that probably even while we've been streaming, there have been several ceasefires started and ended.
Whether you're looking at the mayoral candidate in New York who's using socialist ideas to address the idea of poverty, i.e.
supermarkets that have controlled prices, or the migrant, the content that's being produced around the issue of migration, it's pretty clear that what's needed is the ability for these differing views on how society ought to be run to be expressed.
And it's difficult for it to be expressed at the level of the nation.
I suppose that when you have prominent figures sparring it out, when you have someone like Joe Rogan questioning the ICE raids, when you have Tucker Carlson questioning the war, when you have Elon Musk questioning the big, beautiful bill, you have to recognise, I suppose, that either these are public conversations that are healthy in a democracy or indications that there is no strong centralised consensus because such a thing when it comes to cultural issues is impossible.
You want to have a nation, I suppose you're going to have borders and you're going to require a degree of government and therefore taxation.
But it seems that the tendency increasingly among both of these opposing sides is for minimal intervention, i.e.
there is an AOC America that wants to be expressed and born.
There is clearly, on the basis of the recent electoral results, a Trump America that wants to be expressed and lived out.
But what doesn't seem to exist anymore, whether it's in Ireland or France or my country or yours, is a cohesive national identity that can sustain itself.
You might argue it's always been like that.
There was a civil war, there was a revolution.
But what there wasn't always was the technology available for decentralization as the principle wherever possible.
Mass communication could create mass democracy.
New forms of currency could create new trade.
Innovation in agriculture could mean sustainability and independence where possible.
And all of these things, in my mind, in my heart at least, are directed towards alleviating tension, alleviating conflict, alleviating elitism and constant exploitation.
None of us are going to Resolve the conflict between Iran and Israel by doubling down on the perspective of either side.
No one's going to resolve the conflict even between Trump and AOC simply by further advocating for the person in that spat that you believe in.
The only way to change the world is to change the systems of governance.
