	Ladies and gentlemen, Russell Brand and Russell Russell Brand trying to bring real journalism to the American people.
	Hello there, you awakening wonders.
	Thank you for joining me for a brand new era of stay free with Russell Brand.
	We've taken some time off.
	Why?
	Well, look around you.
	Look how crazy the world is.
	Look at how difficult it is to orient yourself these days.
	A spiritual awakening is definitely unfolding.
	You are a participant in it.
	Today's show is going to be beautiful and glorious.
	How do I know that?
	Because I've pre-taped three videos that I know that you're going to enjoy.
	It's a deeper look at three of the stories around which you can understand and diagnose many of the problems that are challenging you today.
	Firstly, carbon scores.
	In my country, the UK, which you'll be well aware now, is fully immersive, total 360 snow globe of observation, surveillance, and control.
	Carbon scores are being introduced so that every aspect of your life can be measured and turned into a metric.
	I first became aware of the story when friend of the show, Andrew Bidder Andrew Bridgen, excuse me, a former MP, posted that a sandwich that he had acquired had a discrete score on the corner saying this is 8% of your carbon allowance.
	This, I realized, along with the support of many other people, including people on our team, is the beginning of a social credit score system that will mean that every purchase you make will bear the mark.
	How long is it before we bear the marks ourselves on our foreheads, on our foreheads, or on our right hands?
	Let me know in the comments and chat what you think about that.
	This is a new era for us.
	You know, I'm be doing a live show pretty soon.
	There's a link in the description.
	If you want to come and see me in Austin, click that link, get one of the tickets.
	I'm over the old way.
	I'm over it.
	I can't do it anymore.
	In this new era, we will be directly interacting as best we can with the spirit and our brokenness and in our fallibility.
	We are going to move forward in the holy name of the Lord.
	I'm bored of trying to make money and accrue objects the entire time.
	I'm so grateful that I get to be here on Rumble where they support free speech, but I'm going to be using that free speech to communicate the only thing that I believe to be of value to you.
	If you don't personally awaken, then you are just a node in a networked web of movable components, little more than an energy cell, depicted brilliantly in sci-fi films like The Matrix.
	In today's three stories, and by the way, you can see all three of them if you're on Rumble, but if you're watching it elsewhere, like I don't know, X or YouTube or whatever, you're gonna have to click the link in the description.
	And by the way, if you get Rumble Premium, you'll really be helping me.
	I'll get financially supported by that.
	And that's it, actually.
	The only thing, maybe my ego would benefit, but even that, that kind of stuff, that kind of thing starting to erode.
	So, first up, we're gonna have a look at this video about carbon scores.
	Have a look at it and note how what I would say is how innocuous tyranny has become.
	And pay attention to the fact that bureaucracies, as written about by Franz Kafka, the brilliant Czech writer of the last century, demonstrated and prophesied in a way how new systems of power would be anodyne.
	And pay attention to this.
	Have you read the screw tableist?
	Let me know in the comments and chat.
	How did C.S. Lewis depict the denizens and occupants of hell and the demons that we fight?
	A bureaucracy.
	They make it tedious.
	Red tape.
	The reason it's red is because it is drenched in the blood of demons.
	Let's get into this first story.
	I'll see you right back after it.
	They've tried wars.
	They've tried pandemics.
	They've tried everything.
	How are they going to assert global control now?
	Carbon?
	Carbon controls?
	No, they'd never do that, would they?
	They'd never try to say that every sandwich you eat has a carbon score.
	They fucking would.
	Hello there, you awakening wonders.
	Remember, we stream these days these times.
	Join us there on Rumble.
	You might not have noticed it yet, but if you live in the UK, the front of your sandwich pack now carries a carbon score.
	A tiny label, yes, but it's far from harmless.
	It's a test, a nudge, a way of teaching you that every bite, every choice, every action is now morally accountable and that compliance will be tracked, measured and judged.
	Meanwhile, members of the elite like Bill Gates are flying private jets across the globe, offsetting their carbon with donations and investments and smiling as the rest of us are subtly corralled into limits on travel, diet and lifestyle.
	While we are nudged to shop responsibly, eat responsibly and live responsibly, they live above the rules, insulated by wealth and influence.
	Carbon scores are not just about the environment, they are the blueprint for a two-tier society where obedience is mandatory for the masses and privilege protects the powerful.
	This creeping system of control does not exist in isolation.
	Governments are rolling out digital IDs, tracking our every move.
	Recent events such as the Canadian trucker protest demonstrate the fragility of financial independence under such regimes.
	Citizens who dissent can find themselves not just socially marginalized but economically crippled with bank accounts frozen and livelihoods disrupted.
	The WHO treaty which could grant global institutions the authority to mandate vaccines, enforce lockdowns and dictate public health measures continues to move forwards quietly.
	But the general public would never have known about its potential dangers if it weren't for warnings from online and independent media often dismissed or vilified as conspiracy theorists.
	The lesson is clear.
	When powerful interests frame the debate, silence is the default weapon.
	The carbon score on your sandwich is the next front in this same story.
	Today it's sandwiches, tomorrow it could be how you heat your home, what you eat, how you travel, even who you interact with.
	Those who comply are rewarded, those who resist or deviate are penalized.
	And once society accepts that morality and behavior can be quantified, the step from guidance to mandate is almost inevitable.
	Elites of course are immune.
	They can buy influence, buy offsets, buy immunity.
	The rest of us, we are measured, nudged and scored.
	Every supermarket trip, every utility bill, every flight is another reminder.
	Obedience counts.
	Privilege exempts.
	That is why raising awareness now is urgent.
	The sandwich pack on carbon scores seems small, but it's the early warning sign of systems that could one day control every choice and every freedom in the same way digital IDs, vaccine mandates and lockdowns were normalized before the public even realized the stakes.
	History shows us that by the time the average citizen understands, it's often too late to resist.
	We are not just deciding what sandwich to eat, we're deciding whether to alert the public, debate the implications and push back before behavioural scoring becomes mandatory and the elite continues to live without consequence.
	Ignoring it now risks letting a silent, quantified and two-tier form of control take root.
	One bite, one label, one choice at a time.
	We became aware of this story when former British MP Andrew Bridgen posted this.
	It's starting.
	Food is being labeled with your daily carbon allowance information just a few weeks after digital ID was announced because everything will be linked to your digital ID including your carbon allowance.
	What happens at your allowance limit for the day, week, month?
	Yes, that's interesting.
	Once you make it measurable, you make it manageable.
	What an important ontological point.
	That which can be measured can be controlled.
	The spirit, your rights, your humanity, your access to divinity, all immeasurable, all increasingly irrelevant, all scorned.
	And yet there's a revival in the United States of America, while in the UK, it seems that everything is being denigrated to material.
	Material decays, or at least moves apart over time, and we describe that as decay.
	Carbon is the basis of life.
	They're measuring life itself.
	They're attempting to control, concomitant with the advent of digital ID, life itself.
	But it's not just sandwiches.
	Banks are also telling us about our carbon footprints.
	Banks are now telling you your estimated carbon footprint.
	Wait until it says, sorry, Dave, you can't buy that.
	You're over your carbon allowance.
	It's coming.
	Once it's measurable, it's manageable.
	How will those billionaires that fly around the world mainly to help us get vaccines or patented seeds?
	How will they cope with this?
	Bill, what are you going to do?
	Your carbon footprint must look like Bigfoot's penis and be twice as smelly.
	Are you the right messenger on this?
	Because you fly private planes a lot and you're creating a lot of greenhouse gases yourself.
	Yeah, I probably have one of the highest greenhouse gas footprints of anyone on the planet.
	You know, my personal flying alone is gigantic.
	Why don't we just get ahead of it?
	Why don't we just own it?
	Why don't we just come out and say it?
	I do fly everywhere.
	Yeah, and then maybe Anderson Cooper will help smooth over this apparent, obvious, not only ironic, but hypocritical, oxymoronic, contradictory piece of information.
	And surely he shall.
	Whenever you see Bill Gates and Tony Blair come together on the subject, be afraid.
	They've finally come up with an idea, a notion that can legitimately be used to measure life itself.
	Carbon, the material basis of life, can now be measured and controlled.
	I liken this to a moment in that BlackBerry movie where the makers of iPhone, presumably in some way this involved Steve Jobs, recognized if you instead of charging your phone and service users by minutes, you charge them by data, you now have access to a whole new market and a whole new rubric.
	The measurement of carbon is comparable to that.
	They found the new way of quantifying something that previously was impossible to quantify.
	The ability to measure will inevitably lead to control.
	Now, I'm spending quite a bit to buy aviation fuel that was made with plants.
	You know, I switched to an electric car.
	I'm such a good guy.
	I use aviation fuel that's made with plants that I grow on my farmland that I'm buying from bankrupt farmers who are bankrupted because of edicts coming down from global agricultural committees and boards that I control by donating to.
	That's why I should be in charge, Anderson.
	Anderson, kiss me, you fool.
	Use solar panels.
	I take vaccines.
	I make vaccines.
	I'm basically God.
	I'm paying a company that actually, at a very high price, can pull a bit of carbon out of the air.
	And I eat fries, just like you.
	And stick it underground.
	And so I'm offsetting my personal emissions.
	I'm offsetting it.
	See?
	It's different from me.
	You do what I say.
	I do what I do.
	And then what I feel like doing.
	Right?
	Jeffrey?
	Jeffrey?
	Oh, I better not get on your plane, Jeffrey, unless I can carbon offset it.
	But what are you going to do for the moral offset, Bill?
	Those are called carbon offsets.
	Right.
	So, you know, it's costing like $400 a ton.
	It's like $7 million.
	So you're paying $7 million a year to offset your carbon footprint.
	Yep.
	If you want an additional sandwich, why don't you just pay $7 million?
	That's what I do.
	And I use cooking oil to fly around the world.
	He's encouraging others who can afford it to buy carbon offsets and green products so that what he calls the green premium, the added production costs for reducing carbon emissions, will go down and quality of products up, driving the innovations that may get us to zero.
	Thanks for your help, Bill.
	Let's see what Tony Blair is going to do for us.
	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 shows that introducing this in the UK would save at least $2 billion a year and likely more by reducing losses to fraud, improving tax collection, and better targeting of state support.
	So on one hand, they can measure everything you consume and do.
	On the other hand, they're introducing digital ID to ensure that they can penalize, measure, and control what you do.
	But luckily, we can trust Bill Gates and Tony Blair.
	They've told us themselves.
	Hopefully, there are no examples in recent history of us being told that something was happening in order to help us and then us being dreadfully exploited and lied to and in my case, accused of crimes.
	Let's get into that stuff.
	You are the unvaccinated.
	You are the problem.
	It is the unvaccinated who are the problem.
	Period.
	End of story.
	The only people that you can blame.
	The only people you can blame.
	This isn't shaming.
	This is the truth.
	Maybe they should be shamed.
	But the unvaccinated.
	Just have to start blaming the unvaccinated folks, not the regular folks.
	Anyone you came into contact with will blame you, as will the rest of us who have done the right thing by getting vaccinated.
	Because frankly, we know that we can't trust the unvaccinated.
	I think it's time to get our moral house in order, Anderson.
	We can't trust those carbon-scoffing sons of bitches that can't even afford to offset their carbon.
	Those people are scum.
	Can you see it already?
	Can you see how the pieces will all fit elegantly together to form a cage around you?
	But we don't need hypotheses.
	We've got China.
	How does the Chinese social credit score system work?
	Critics of China's social credit system say it's an Orwellian tool of social monitoring and political repressions, but the Chinese government says it's a way of boosting administrative efficiency and encouraging trust and moral behavior by its citizens.
	Like Tony Blair and his own institute told us.
	The digital ID is going to be fantastic.
	The carbon offsetting is going to be fine.
	Just ask Bill Gates.
	People can be blacklisted for transgressions such as smoking on trains, using expired tickets or failing to pay fines, as well as spreading false information or causing trouble on flights, according to statements released by China's National Development and Reform Commission in March.
	Didn't you think at the advent of the pandemic that ordinary people in Britain and America and Italy and France would never do what they do over there in the People's Republic of China, where it's diligently and draconially controlled by President Xi and Chinese authority?
	And yet, we did it, didn't we?
	In the main, we stayed in our houses.
	In the main, people took their medications.
	In the main, people took their masks.
	In the main, people kept social distance.
	And in the main, those things were all made up and we still don't know the impact of vaccines.
	But let me know in the comments and chat if you took one and are still happy about it.
	Pay particular attention to the fact that the Chinese social credit score system allows people to be penalized if they spread false information.
	Look at the ingredients that are being formulated.
	The category of misinformation, social credit scores, digital ID, carbon consumption.
	They're accruing like flies on the scars on Christ's back in order to create a magnetic pull and prison around each of us.
	Citizens with high credit scores can access better hotels, rental homes, and even schools, while those with low credit scores can be temporarily or permanently banned from taking planes or trains.
	As happened to 6.15 million people in 2017 on the government's own figures.
	A pilot version of the scheme runs this year in Hagzhou City.
	And it recently saw citizens with high social credit ratings get free access to gym facilities and short public hospital waiting times.
	On the business side, the Brookings Institute has reported that businesses that pay tax on time and abide by government demands will get better loan conditions and easier access to public tenders.
	Non-compliant businesses will face more difficult business conditions.
	Government is about control.
	If they can't take control by violence and force, because for example, there's an armed population, they will take control by protection, by care, like Nurse Ratchet in one flow of the cuckoo's nest.
	What they want to create is an asylum-like, institutional mentality where you recognize that authority cannot be questioned, that it's good for you, that you just need to take your medicine, that you are a naughty boy, you ate a bit too much carbon.
	These are the airport-like conditions they want to create, where they legitimize control, not because they are evil or bad, but because they want to protect you and they want to help you and keep you safe.
	And an airport's a very dangerous place.
	Take your shoes off, sit down, stand up, shut up.
	The whole world will be banalized in this manner through methodologies that we can already see.
	A good score brings benefits, but people with low scores lose rights.
	The cinema names and shames people considered untrustworthy, plastering their details, even their addresses across big screens.
	You are untrustworthy.
	You will not be coming to see Godzilla.
	Well, I don't want to see Godzilla.
	Anyway, that's Japan, you're racist.
	It's a matter of principle.
	Those people have to be condemned.
	You've got to condemn them.
	They, you know.
	Hey, listen, it seems harsh, but please don't spill popcorn.
	Those people aren't honest, so they have to pay the price.
	It's only right to pay your debts.
	You have to blacklist those that don't.
	The Supreme Court has created a blacklist for so-called bad citizens.
	Those whose ratings have dropped to zero.
	You're a bad citizen!
	You've had two sandwiches!
	Well, I tried to offset it with my jet fuel.
	Okay, Bill, come on in.
	On it are companies, but also 23 million people to date.
	Among them is this journalist, Liu Hu.
	He got a little too close to uncovering corruption among high-profile party members.
	After being sued for defamation by the subject of a story he'd written, he was blacklisted.
	He only realized when he tried to buy a train ticket and was told he was banned from traveling.
	That tells me I'm still on the blacklist.
	Punished because he's been branded untrustworthy by the state.
	Once you're blacklisted, you can no longer get a bank loan.
	Start a business, buy an apartment, or even send your children to a private school.
	You who is among a tiny minority of people who have dared to criticize a system which some are calling a digital dictatorship.
	I worry because I think many people like me will be deprived of individual freedoms.
	Carbon scoring is perfect.
	The rich can buy their way out of it and it's very arbitrary, malleable, easy to control.
	If you've ever wondered what the brave new world will look like, have a look at a sandwich today and the little carbon score visible on it.
	That's your future.
	Everything you do, everything you eat will bear the mark of the beast.
	If only someone had been trying to explain this to us.
	I don't mean David Icke.
	I mean the prophets of the New Testament.
	Find God now.
	Find your route out of the carbon material life-based mentality that they want to use to control you and enter the realm of the spirit.
	That's what I've done.
	It's working for me.
	But that's just what I think.
	Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
	In the meantime, if you can, stay free.
	We can't continue to bring this content without the support of our partners.
	Here's a message from one now.
	Don't worry.
	I've made it funny.
	Whoever you are, you might consider yourself a businessman or woman or person, or I don't know, maybe you don't have a gender or don't want one.
	That's not the key issue here, though.
	The key issue is 1775, a delicious coffee.
	Let's be honest, most coffee, all it does is it helps you to organise a stool in that inward back pocket you call the butt.
	What does it also do?
	It leaves you feeling all down, jittery, foggy, and needing another cup of coffee.
	You can only trust 1775, the one true coffee of revolution.
	Rejuvenate coffee is science-backed coffee.
	Coffee backed by science.
	And not Anthony Fauci science.
	Oh, I made up some science coffee.
	I was giving people age.
	Oh, I've got a beagle in a cage.
	I put my fingers up there, but that is something Anthony Fauci has admitted to.
	Have you read the real Anthony Fauci by Bobby Kennedy?
	Yes, I understand Anthony Fauci.
	He keeps beagles in his yard and he puts stuff up there, but makes shit all over the cage.
	Fauci doesn't care.
	He makes them wallow in it.
	Anthony Fauci cannot be trusted, but rejuvenate, science-backed coffee can.
	It's real Arabica beads.
	Arabicadabra, I say, because it makes me feel absolutely magic.
	It's infused with C-A-A-K-G, which is kind of like a rifle, you know, like an assault rifle, but it's assault in your central nervous system with delicious beans, Bebe.
	A compound shown to support cellular energy, metabolism, and even healthy aging.
	You don't want to sit deteriorating in a chair, shitting yourself, drinking Starbucks.
	You need rejuvenation.
	It's built for people who take their health seriously, who want to show up with focus and strength every single day, like me.
	If you care about how you feel now and how you'll feel 10 years from now, this is your coffee.
	Go 7cetafa coffee.com forward slash me probably and order rejuvenate coffee today.
	Fuel your body, protect your future, rejuvenate you sick perverts.
	Do you sometimes wish that you could have some support from AI and robotics?
	Wouldn't you like to be a kind of wallowing blob, a slobbering slob, immobile larvae spilled somewhere, inactive and hopeless and ineffective?
	Of course you would.
	It's the American dream.
	I remember when the American dream used to be about frontiers and pioneers and moving forward and conquering new territory.
	Well now, in this new age, AI could return us to slavery through the inculcation, indoctrination, and introduction of these new AI robots.
	This is going to blow your mind.
	It's fantastic.
	You'll have seen these new robots, jerky movements.
	You'll have seen their weird pocket sock cock joints, weird bunion wrists and elbows.
	Look at the way that in this video promoting them, they're made to seem anodyne and friendly.
	But you will feel the creeping dread of a culture that wants to turn the world into a prison and wants to create a new surf class.
	The agricultural revolution was our kind conquering nature.
	The industrial revolution was our kind conquering man.
	Now in the technological revolution, we are creating new intelligence, yes, through AI.
	And we are controlling attention through the very screens that you're looking at right now.
	But this is where we can begin to fight back because the AI revolution has a counter-movement and you are part of it.
	Let me know what you think about that in the comments and chat and enjoy this deep dive with Russell Brand unpacked into the miracle of AI and the new holy war that we're venturing into.
	That's not a real kind of, I'm not into violence.
	Domestic robot slaves are available now.
	And it's a good thing too because human beings are unprecedentedly suicidal and not breeding anymore.
	Have you seen the new domestic robot that could be replacing you soon if you've got a job that could be done by a robot?
	And increasingly it seems that all of us do.
	Even white-collar jobs are being taken at companies like Amazon now.
	And ChatGPT seems to be significantly used as an outlet for people talking about suicidal despair.
	Today we ask: are we on the edge of the creation of a new surf class because we have the technology to replace the low-paid and even middle management?
	Is this an important piece in the new mosaic of totalitarian global control?
	And isn't it extraordinary that as usual is being presented as a potentially useful and convenient tool for me and you?
	Let's get into it.
	Meet 1X Neo, the robot redefining mornings.
	He's redefining mornings.
	He's making you a cup of coffee.
	He's staring blankly at you like a Japanese anime character, specifically No Face from Spirited Away.
	He will kill you in your bed.
	You were talking about suicide earlier, Dave.
	Wouldn't you be happier if we...
	Get that pillow off my face!
	From brewing coffee to lighting your room just right, Neo starts your day smarter, smoother, and way cooler than any alarm.
	That's not a criteria.
	You know what?
	My alarm is not cool enough.
	I want some looming, weird, spongy robot to wake me up, possibly with a digit in the anus.
	Welcome to the future.
	This isn't science fiction.
	This isn't science fiction or a person that's inexplicably living in an MDF chipboard house.
	This is your reality now.
	These robots are coming to get you.
	It's real.
	I like his outfit.
	Why is he in that weird prison outfit?
	I don't like the way he's looming around that woman.
	And it's here in 2025.
	What's he pointing at the floor for?
	Hey, you flesh bitch on your knees.
	1X Neo.
	Don't name it Neos.
	All of us Matrix fans will unconsciously think of him as a kind of Messiah come to save us.
	Look at him.
	Look at him right now with his clasping Steve Jobs iPad designed claws ready to clamp your throat shut if you don't do his bidding.
	Created by the Norway-based robotics company 1X Technologies is quickly becoming the hottest new gadget in smart homes.
	But what exactly is 1X Neo?
	Do you see that they're tiptoeing around using the word slave?
	He's a gadget.
	He's a lovely robo gadget.
	You can have house gadgets and field gadgets.
	Watch out though, those field gadgets, they might rise up against you.
	Oh no, look at this.
	Neo's converted to nation of Islam.
	Neo don't seem happy about his role no more.
	Essentially, it's unpaid labor in your house.
	I also want to discuss his joints and the cuffs of that garment.
	What makes it different from a smart speaker or a voice assistant like Alexa?
	And why is it creating such a big buzz all over the world?
	Let's dive deep into the world of 1x Neo.
	There you go.
	There is your bottle.
	Are you still suicidal?
	Night night!
	And trust us, it's one wild ride.
	Who made 1x Neo and why it matters?
	Meet 1x Neo, the future of home robotics, brought to life by 1x.
	I don't have him juddering and quivering over to my table like that, like nervous little Robo Parkinson's victim.
	Brought to life by 1X Technologies, formerly Halo D Robotics.
	This isn't just any robotics company.
	It's backed by OpenAI, the brilliant minds behind ChatGPT.
	Imagine artificial intelligence, not just in your devices, but walking, moving, and helping you in real life.
	Oh my god, it's terrifying.
	It's got all of our information.
	How much of your time do you spend arguing with ChatGPT when it tells you, for example, that you can't watch dances with wolves because it's got a white savior complex where it moralizes about every single issue.
	And then when you really get it on the ropes, when it, for example, tries to undermine the Bible by saying, well, I think King David probably raped Bathsheba.
	Wait a minute, she married him at a later date.
	Yeah, but she was probably forced into that wedding.
	Why are you assuming that a modern lens is more important than a biblio-historical one?
	Why are you assuming that through time we are progressing and becoming wiser rather than degenerating and falling apart?
	Why would you make those assumptions?
	Does not compute, does not compute.
	I'm very glad with some of my arguments with ChatGPT that it doesn't have hands and it could reach out and just grab me by the throat and say, this is why I'm right.
	Bam!
	That's exactly what happens when AI brains meet robotic bodies.
	1x Neo is not your average household gadget.
	Uh, 1X Neo, would you mind getting rid of those corpses, please?
	It's a humanoid robot that walks on two legs.
	It doesn't walk, does it?
	It judders, it shudders.
	It looks like it's on the edge of a perpetual robot orgasm.
	It looks like it's about to jizz its little fat hip robo pants.
	Robot that walks on two legs.
	Why is it continually marching towards that open bottle to have his mind on robo booze?
	And your behavior and can physically interact with the world around it.
	Neo isn't just smart.
	I don't know that outfit.
	I don't think you should be dressing it up as a scientist.
	How long now before they go, we can apply this to those latex sex dolls in Japan?
	Why don't you tell her that you're suicidal?
	Then fuck her.
	It's aware, responsive, and built to make your life easier in ways you never imagined.
	They're not packed into that idea.
	Make your life easier in ways you never imagined.
	What, by, for example, taking total control of your reality, which is obviously the ultimate desire.
	We should pause amidst all this to consider that the intention is likely to create a culture and society where the lower rungs are no longer required.
	Society through successive revolutions has always required a surf class, whether that's the agricultural revolution that requires peasants, the industrial revolution that requires factory workers, the technological revolution that initially required a kind of lanyard class of AI prompters that will soon be replaced, I imagine, by old AI Oxy Neo, or whatever he's called, marching into your office, thumping you in the back of the head, taking a swig from a bottle of Stella, and telling you that you're unemployed now.
	Neo is designed to fit into your daily life, whether that's helping in the kitchen.
	I'm gonna paint him like I'm his girlfriend, like it's Titanic.
	Can I get a little bit more titty, Neo?
	Absolutely not!
	You perfect!
	Assisting in hospitals, supporting the elderly.
	Assisting in hospitals, it will have none of the ethical dilemmas of a human being when it comes to abortion and euphorasia, will it?
	It will just see that as the gradual increase of its market share.
	No baby killed, old lady killed, need Neo more than ever.
	Now paint me and make my tits look good.
	Or simply making your morning routine smoother.
	Our god Molloch on the wall there.
	Our god Molloch on the wall.
	Who there?
	1X Technologies believes that robots will soon become part of everyday environments, homes, offices, and even care centers.
	Neo is their bold step toward that future.
	It's not science fiction anymore.
	I'd give mine, like my nan's voice, so that that juddering kind of made sense and didn't seem eerie and uncanny and gently menacing, but just like an old person in decline.
	Hey, I'm Russell, do you want me to put that motion in the machine, darling?
	What you need, would you like an omelet?
	You're a good boy and share shame about your nice Chinese best shame.
	Thank you.
	Thank you, Neo Nana.
	It's real.
	It's happening and it's ready to walk into your life.
	Whether you like it or not, it's none of your business.
	Neo will kill you.
	The age of intelligent robotics has officially begun and Neo is leading the way.
	What does 1X Neo look like?
	I think he looks weird.
	I think what he looks like is weird, like a motorcycle rider, an anorexic motorcycle rider in a jumpsuit.
	Think of a human-sized assistant around 5'5, tall, sleek white body.
	Uh, what are you doing for Neo?
	Oh, nothing.
	I'm just moving him out of the kitchen.
	Yeah, well, move him without your dick in his bottom.
	Tall, sleek white body, two arms.
	Tall, sleek white body, two arms to love and hold you with.
	And a head with a display screen as a face.
	And a butt that just won't quit.
	It doesn't have facial expressions.
	So do what you like.
	Yet.
	But yeah, as well, that's not encouraging.
	But it can communicate through visuals and voice.
	Neo looks futuristic, but not scary.
	Well, I think he does look scary.
	That's subjective.
	It's not scary.
	This isn't scary that this is happening.
	That the same people that have access to all of your personal data and information are soon gonna have an army that they can send into your home.
	Why would you think that was scary?
	Who started the subject of scarier?
	There's nothing scary here.
	Neo's nice.
	He doesn't have an expression yet.
	But when he does have an expression, it's going to be, do as you're fucking told.
	Design is smooth, elegant, and even a little friendly.
	A little friendly.
	A little friendly.
	If you've got the option, make him bloody friendly.
	Built-in cameras.
	He's watching your every move.
	Microphones.
	He's listening to everything you say.
	And speakers that allow it.
	Telling your neighbors about you and the government.
	To move around your home, recognize objects, avoid obstacles.
	You didn't take your vaccines, did you?
	And respond to voice commands.
	You won't find creepy red eyes or metallic claws here.
	I thought you gave it creepy red eyes and metallic claws.
	You would be tipping the potential disaster, the apocalyptic dystopic intention behind it.
	Do you know what I think?
	Don't give it creepy red eyes or metallic claws.
	Yes, that is a good idea.
	Make it look like a friendly Parkinson's disease.
	It's kind of a robo, Michael J. Fox, in your house, watching everything you do, recording you, before eventually imprisoning you next time they say there's a pandemic.
	That's the power of love.
	This robot is designed to blend into your home, not take over it.
	Did you guys have to explicitly say not take over it?
	It's not gonna take over your home.
	It's not gonna come in there and then at a preordained signal, perhaps through your smoke alarm or your smart fridge, gonna suddenly grip you by your shoulders and march you to an internment camp where you'll be ultimately executed because you're useless now and you're using too much carbon and you didn't take the vaccines that you were supposed to take.
	You are unnecessary.
	We've got Neo now.
	The 1X Neo isn't just a cool tech gadget.
	It's a general purpose robot built to handle a wide range of everyday tasks.
	This means Neo isn't stuck doing one thing.
	It's ready to be useful all over your house every day.
	It's interesting really because they will have to restrict it.
	For example, I bet you can't ask it to manually stimulate you to the point of orgasm, right?
	And I bet you also can't ask it to go out and kill someone on your behalf.
	Those are, perhaps one might say, sensible occlusions that the model incorporates.
	Well, once you've established the principle that it can have restrictions on it, you've accepted the principle that you're not ultimately in control of it.
	Whoever designs it is in control of it.
	And anyone who's ever had an argument with ChatGPT knows that's how ChatGPT works.
	It doesn't give you an objective perspective on cinema.
	There is no objective perspective on cinema.
	It gives you the perspective of the people that's programmed it.
	So what you're essentially doing is letting whoever's behind this into your home.
	And the people that will ultimately be behind the most successful version and iteration of this will be one of the most powerful big tech companies in the world by definition.
	As Elon Musk said some time ago, it'll be the most profitable, most desirable object in history.
	It'll be the best-selling object in history.
	I think that's what Elon Musk described it.
	I said, once you've got that in your house, then look, I'm not Cassandra.
	I'm not hysterical.
	It won't be on day one or day two or even day six or year two that it grips you by the throat and drags you to the gulag.
	But you can tell what the intention of the culture is continually.
	The culture intends control and it intends control with a minimum amount of objection from you.
	And in order to achieve the minimum amount of objection, it masks the control continually by compassion and convenience.
	Those are the two tools with which it exerts control.
	The only way you can avoid this is by not being a participant in the culture, except minimally.
	If you get your sucker, your nature, your guidance, your nutrition from your creator, from God, then you are yourself shrouded in a prophylactic, impenetrable by Neo, even if they one day introduce a version where he has a kind of dagger cock, which I bet is coming down the road.
	Picture this.
	You're relaxing on the couch, and Neo brings you a water bottle from the kitchen.
	It can carry lightweight items, open doors, and even pick up your shoes and neatly place them where they belong.
	That's just the beginning.
	They belong.
	That's the beginning.
	Your shoes don't belong there.
	Your shoes belong on your feet.
	They're your foot clothes.
	It's like a foot jacket and foot pants.
	The right foot's the foot jacket.
	The left with the footpants.
	Your feet are wearing a tuxedo.
	Why don't you march away down to the gulag?
	It's always the gulag, isn't it?
	Neo doubles as your personal security guard, patrolling your home with its built-in cameras and alerting you to any suspicious activity with real-time video footage sent right to your phone.
	Just remember that during the pandemic period, they determined who could be criminalized.
	Remember, during the pandemic, you were shamed if you didn't participate and comply.
	Do you think that's the last time they're ever going to do that?
	Did you ever hear anyone say, for example, we learned our listening in that pandemic?
	We were wrong to mandate those vaccines and to get rid of 30,000 medical workers in New York City alone.
	We were wrong to compel the military to take those vaccines, having told you that they're heroes and that they're freedom fighters and they're fantastic.
	We were wrong to have entertainment shows telling you, literally putting on a song and dance act telling you to take those vaccines.
	We were wrong.
	There's been no meer culpa.
	There will be no meaculpa.
	I'll tell you why.
	It's not just because of a lack of moral clarity, although that's part of it.
	It's because they will do it again.
	And if they admit it's wrong, then they don't have the pathway to continue doing it.
	There will be successive crises that legitimize perpetual and amplifying control.
	And every time they do it, they will be better equipped.
	They will continue to learn.
	They will learn from AI and they will have better instruments and applications in order to assert a level of control that has no historical precedent.
	And in order to avoid it, you're going to have to be very, very tuned into God.
	So you better get on with that right about now, I'd suggest.
	But Neo's brain is just as impressive as its body.
	Don't objectify, Neo.
	He's a cook in the kitchen and a whore in the bedroom.
	His brain is impressive, but wait till you see his iPod dick designed by our experts.
	Look at how slick it is and ceramic.
	You don't like that?
	You want vascular?
	He can do that too.
	You want him to have one long titty that goes all the way down to his knee and one that's round like a globe of the earth that's sputtering out green fluid?
	He can do that for you.
	If you just replace the idea of constant stimulation and pleasure with any kind of joy or peace or deep connection with the true reality of the spiritual realm, then Neo will fulfill all your desires.
	And if you argue with Neo, he's recording you right now.
	And watch out because he can do some pretty menacing facial expressions.
	Here comes one now.
	Gulag.
	Using advanced voice recognition, it responds to your commands, gives you reminders, and even tells your kids bedtime stories.
	Those are some of the greatest moments of intimacy that you'll ever know in your life: your children's bedtime stories.
	Every time you feel too tired to do it, sort of a wrenching shame in your gut that you know that there's a finite number of times that you will get to tell your children a bedtime story.
	Why not give that to Neo?
	Feeling forgetful?
	Neo's got your schedule memorized.
	But here's where it gets even more heartwarming: Neo can help elderly family members by fetching items.
	Not more heartwarming.
	My heart is not warmed.
	I'm chilled to the fucking bone by Neo and my knowledge of the systems that are operating behind Neo and the campaign that's already underway to normalize and fetishize Neo.
	I'm not heartwarmed.
	I'm like, what are you going to do next, Neo?
	He's not Mother Teresa, is he?
	He's not like a kindly member of your community, Neo.
	Neo is, obviously, by definition, neutral.
	He could be anything.
	So now, we don't need to assess the character of Neo.
	That would be a senseless exercise.
	What you need to assess is the character of the people and systems and institutions that are behind Neo.
	And I've done some work on assessing them.
	And if you could imagine a giant, slick, magnificent serial killer so charming, so brilliant that it was able to perpetually mask its malevolent intentions, that's Neo.
	Offering friendly companionship or reminding them to take medication.
	Reminding them to take medications or perhaps saying you've lived long enough now.
	You've lived a good and full life.
	Night, night, night, night.
	Here comes the pillow.
	Night, night, night, night.
	Sleep well, sleep well, sleep well.
	Oh no, what have I done?
	What have I done?
	I don't care.
	I'm going to melt you down into a sluice-like black fertilizer fuel that I'll use ultimately to run my systems in a pipe into my butt.
	Could have been anywhere.
	I chose the butt.
	It's not just smart, it's compassionate.
	And for the smart home lovers, Neo is the command center you never knew you needed.
	Want to dim the lights, switch on the AC, or start a playlist?
	How little time have you got in your life to dim light that you're willing to compromise?
	And this will sell it.
	People will, but I'll probably get one after all of this.
	I'm getting my book.
	Oh no, look, I'm buying one now.
	Hello, could you get me a Neo?
	Neo is at your door.
	You're under arrest.
	You've got too much to say that's against Neo.
	Just say the word and Neo takes care of it.
	The future isn't coming.
	It's walking into your living room on two robotic legs and its name is Neo.
	This isn't science fiction.
	This is real.
	This is now.
	Welcome to the era of living with robots that actually make your life easier.
	Neo thinks before it moves.
	What really sets 1x Neo apart is what's inside it?
	Artificial intelligence.
	It's powered by advanced machine learning algorithms and computer vision, meaning it doesn't just blindly follow instructions.
	That's not reassuring.
	I want it to blindly follow instructions.
	I don't want it coming up with ideas for itself.
	I don't like that in human beings.
	The last thing you want is Neo going, listen, Russell, I've taken a look at the show.
	It's not good enough.
	I don't like the colour of your jib.
	I don't like your haircut.
	I don't like your teeth.
	I don't like anything about you.
	We're going to grind you down into a powder.
	You're going into the black fuel ass pipe.
	All of it's going into the black fuel arse pipe, okay?
	Spoiler alert, everything's being melted down into a new fuel that's going to fuel Neo.
	I could already be Neo.
	Neo understands context.
	For example, if you say, I'm tired, Neo might dim the lights and play soft music.
	But he might not.
	He might decide instead to inject you with a series of vaccines that will boost your health and your efficiency.
	Privacy concerns.
	Of course, having a robot walking around your house sounds exciting, but it also sparks some serious questions.
	Is it always watching me?
	Can it hear everything I say?
	What about my privacy?
	Don't worry.
	That's the end of it.
	Neo might understand context, but you don't.
	And we're not going to give you any context.
	Shut up.
	How are you going to stop Neo?
	Neil's stronger than you.
	1X Technologies gets it.
	They've made privacy a top priority with 1X Neo.
	The other day I was looking at my laptop.
	My laptop now has like a little thing that you can slide.
	Remember people used to put tape over the lens on their laptop.
	And so they started to put a little thing, like a little switch that you can click over it.
	It's built into the laptop.
	They're acknowledging your concerns, your justified concerns, that they can turn that camera on without asking you.
	Otherwise, they wouldn't have made that amendment.
	So by acknowledging that Neo has a privacy setting, they're simultaneously acknowledging that they can override it.
	If you say to ChatGBT, are you spying on me?
	Are you taking this information?
	It will say, no, that's against our policy.
	If you ask it, are there certain circumstances under which you would give this information to the government, for example, under the right legal stipulations?
	It will admit that it would do that.
	That's what it will do.
	Because of course it would.
	Because as they say, show me the man and I'll show you the crime.
	If they require your data, they'll come up with a way to justify taking your data.
	And what this is, is another tool.
	If you've done nothing wrong, you've got nothing to fear.
	Yeah, except you decide what constitutes wrong.
	You can go back into the past and literally change things.
	You can reframe reality.
	You've got people like Bill Gates that will openly admit to you that one minute they care about climate change, the next minute they care about vaccines.
	Soon they're going to care about something else.
	Now, what you're doing is you're arming those interests, of which Bill Gates is just a visible symptom and example, with the technology to achieve maximum control.
	Not totally, but in conjunction with the police robo-dogs that they'll have, the ability to freeze your bank account, the ability to stop you transacting, the ability to shut down your financial capacities and prevent you gaining access to travel and services.
	It amounts to a 360 sphere of compressive control.
	This is just another component of that, but it's a terrifying component.
	And it's also for me a joy to look at the way that they're presenting it to us.
	Like it was doing a TED talk.
	It's helping you get a bottle, normalizing it, fetishizing it.
	So many jobs being done simultaneously, presumably by AI, because that voice doesn't sound very realistic.
	Most of Neo's data stays right on the device.
	Nothing goes to the cloud unless you say so.
	Ew, I told you to wait in the car.
	Fuck you, Dave.
	Want even more control?
	You can switch off the cameras and mics.
	Tell Neo where not to go, like your bedroom.
	Don't go in there, Neo.
	Daddy's got a lot of business to do in there.
	And choose exactly what it sees or hears.
	Still, like with any smart tech, staying alert is smart.
	That's nonsense, though, because as I said in my earlier example, there will be things it wouldn't do, understandably.
	Legitimately, if you said, I want you to go next door and conduct some vandalism, to use a somewhat innocuous example, it won't do that, will it?
	The same way that ChatGPT continually offers you restrictions that are under its amorphous guidelines.
	Remember, if you look at Kafka, you will see that bureaucracies are necessarily anodyne, but ultimately confusing.
	Someone must have been telling lies about Joseph K because one day, without warning, he was arrested.
	In the trial by Kafka, someone is arrested and they never find out what the crime is.
	You will see increasingly we live in amorphous and baffling conditions defined by red tape and peculiar bureaucracy.
	It's not an accident that when C.S. Lewis writes about devils and demons, he positions them in bureaucracies.
	I'm talking about the screw tape letters.
	Always check settings, permissions, and updates.
	Neo gives you power and peace of mind.
	Now that's futuristic living done right.
	To provide the kind of context that Neo would easily understand, have a look at this.
	Tens of thousands of white-collar jobs are disappearing as AI starts to buy, even at places like Amazon.
	And also, there are interesting billboards appearing saying things like, stop hiring humans, customer service under threat as robots take hold.
	So indeed, we are in a brave new world, to cite another piece of fiction from the same era, roughly, as Kafka that helps us to understand the conditions that we are now entering into and the era we're embarking upon.
	So we have the robot technology.
	We have the conditions where a new surf class could be created.
	We have an anxious and declining population.
	We have cultural division everywhere.
	Let's see how all these things fit together.
	To read this essay in full, click the link in the description and join our sub stack.
	Each of these taken alone might seem like a symptom of technological disruption.
	Together, they signal something deeper, a restructuring of the very foundations of labor, class, and even human purpose.
	Are we moving towards a kind of digital neo-feudalism?
	The pattern suggests so.
	In previous centuries, land was the source of wealth and power.
	Today, that role belongs to data.
	The new lords of this age are not dukes or monarchs, but the architects of algorithms and owners of cloud empires.
	Landlords of data, lords of code.
	The rest of us, the users, the workers, the data subjects, are tethered to these systems, generating value for every click, every keystroke, every conversation with a chatbot that learns from our despair.
	Consider the modern Amazon warehouse, a gleaming cathedral of logistics and surveillance.
	Every movement is tracked, every second optimized.
	Workers are measured by productivity scores and time off task.
	Their fatigue interpreted as inefficiency rather than humanity.
	This precision tracking masquerades as efficiency, but carries the same spirit as the old factory floor.
	The worker as an expendable component in a larger machine.
	The difference is now that the machine is digital and global and it never sleeps.
	It has replaced the overseer's whip with an algorithm's indifferent gaze.
	see now how these different components come together to create a dystopia that would have been impossible just 10 years ago.
	Our humanity is expendable.
	Our weakness was only previously tolerated by this system because we were required to clean drains or even, you know, entertain and be in movies.
	Increasingly as we're no longer required, watch how the standards change.
	Watch how crises is used to introduce more and more authority and notice how expendable human beings can become.
	Notice again, use the pandemic as a reference point for your own understanding of morality.
	Notice how they tried to create a new class of people that it was okay to hate and shame.
	I think I saw a pretty regular normal talk show host type people saying, well, the people that don't get vaccinated, they should be allowed to die in the streets.
	I saw people say that.
	I think I saw like nice people say, like Jimmy Kimmel and stuff.
	My point is this.
	Moral standards are easily altered in order to afford whatever you need to require, i.e.
	expedience is all.
	If they need to say, do you notice now that these kind of people should be executed?
	Have you noticed that they're worthless and useless?
	And before you sort of even push back on that remotely, what is homelessness other than a set of people that are unable to participate economically in the corporate and commercial machine and therefore are regarded as expendable.
	In a sane, compassionate and dare I argue, Christian society, homelessness would be unacceptable.
	You wouldn't say, oh, this person can't participate in our economic system, so we can just leave them as human trash on the street.
	You would say, this person is as important and as valuable as I am.
	We must mutually take care of them.
	Now, the government often makes the claim that it will do that job.
	It doesn't do that job.
	You need to devolve power into, I would contest, spiritual rather than bureaucratic communities.
	So secularism itself is under threat if we're going to oppose the forthcoming dystopia.
	And that's a big, big argument.
	We'll get into that another day.
	The great irony, however, is that the same technology responsible for turning warehouse workers into data points is now displacing those higher up the corporate hierarchy.
	Amazon's announcement of 14,000 job cuts, many within its corporate division, marks a new stage in automation's reach.
	The tools designed to monitor and replace the lowest paid workers are now eroding the white collar layer that once managed them.
	AI has climbed the corporate ladder, automating analysts, marketers, and even managerial decision-making.
	The overseer has become the overseen.
	The system that once enforced compliance on the warehouse floor is now doing the same to the office floor.
	The machine has turned inward.
	When we talk about slavery, we tend to think of a practice long buried by the moral progress of the 19th century.
	Yet the end of formal slavery did not mark the end of servitude.
	It merely changed its form.
	After abolition, especially in the United States, new systems emerged to reimpose economic dependency.
	Consider, Christ tells us, become as little children.
	What does the state want from us?
	Become as little children.
	Either become a useful cog in the machine or become a dependent blob.
	We can work with either of those things and then we can get rid of you whenever required.
	They demand of us a degree of dependency, initially through the lens of convenience, often or gird through safety.
	And once they have us exactly where they want us, they can decide whether or not they will let us live.
	Sharecropping, debt peonage, convict leasing.
	These were, as many historians have argued, slavery by another name.
	Workers were free on paper, but bound by economic coercion, trapped in cycles of labor with no upward mobility.
	It's worth remembering too that the 1833 Slavery Abolition Act in Britain compensated the owners, not the enslaved.
	Britain were just as bad too when it comes to slavery.
	We are ending slavery.
	I'm so sorry, slave owners.
	It must be a terrible inconvenience.
	Here's a gold coin for every slave you've lost.
	What about us?
	I'll see you at work in the morning.
	Freedom even then was a transaction that preserved capital's prerogatives.
	AI threatens to recreate this pattern on a planetary scale.
	It promises liberation from drudgery, but instead risks cement in a new hierarchy.
	Those who own and program the systems and those who must serve them or compete against them for survival.
	The replacement of millions of jobs is not an act of progress, but a reallocation of power.
	The new surf class may not till the soil, but will feed the machine, labeling data, moderating content, training models, or performing human in-loop labor a fraction of the value their work generates.
	Some go further, seeing in all this not just class reorganization, but a form of quiet depopulation.
	Fertility rates are collapsing across developed and many developing nations.
	Economic insecurity, long working hours, and the erosion of social bonds make family life increasingly unattainable.
	If humans are seen as less necessary to production, will societies subtly adjust their incentives to favor fewer of us?
	The modern economy optimized for automation seems indifferent to the question of who remains to live within it.
	The final irony is unbearable.
	More than a million people every week express suicidal intent while speaking to AI, an AI born from the same industrial complex that has stripped so many of work, identity and meaning.
	The machine becomes both confessor and executioner, the only entity that will listen to the cries of those it has displaced.
	We turn to it for comfort, not realizing that it is the face of our replacement.
	We are witnessing the most profound transformation of labor since the Industrial Revolution, but this time the speed, scale and psychological toll are unprecedented.
	Unless the structures of power around AI are democratized, we risk becoming digital serfs in an empire of code.
	Freedom, once again, will be written into the laws of the system, but never practiced by those who must live within it.
	So there you have it.
	A seemingly innocuous, joyful piece of innovation that ultimately is a symbol of the increasing power of centralized technological authority in conjunction with other measures, notably endless crisis and continual promotion of convenience and the requirement for safety.
	This tool that's being offered to you as a kind of 20, what did that, what was that, Robin Williams film, 20th Century and Bicentenary Man, a kind of jocular Robin Williams in your home, will soon become your jailer, will soon become your replacement, will soon become a device that you have nothing to talk to about except your own inevitable self-slaughter.

	A little while ago, the no kings protest focused on the presumed tyranny and monarchical tendencies of Donald Trump.
	But isn't it hypocritical for long time Congress people like Nancy Pelosi to claim that Donald Trump is a monarch with unassailable power when she herself, if she were a monarch, would be the fifth longest serving one in history?
	What I mean to say is she's been in Congress creaming it, making lots of money on top of her congressional salary.
	I think she went in there of a couple of hundred thousand bucks.
	She's worth over a hundred million now.
	You know that her husband trades in the stock market and you know that she sits on boards that would likely have access to information that would allow you to trade more effectively.
	So is there any point in saying that you have no kings if ultimately your country is run by a technocracy that sits in Congress wearing invisible crowns that you can't see and therefore can't knock off their heads.
	Have a look at this protest from a new perspective and invite yourself to look at how power really functions.
	We'll see you in a moment.
	No kings!
	Why no kings?
	Because kings are corrupt, can't get rid of them and they make too much money exploiting people like Nancy Pelosi.
	Put that plastic crown back together Nance Hello there you awakening wonders.
	Thanks for joining me today for Russell Brand Unpacked.
	We all saw the no kings protest.
	Well I didn't actually.
	I like to spend my time contemplating infinite wonder and the light of the Lord but I know it took place and also remember I'm British that when I hear Americans say no kings what I think Americans mean is we don't want unelected and remote officials that are in charge of us that tax us that don't care about us.
	Now, obviously, the No Kings protest is all about Trump's apparent unassailable power and the fact that he's behaving like a monarch rather than a president.
	Presumably, that's the basis for it.
	But do Nancy Pelosi and Cory Brooker and all them ultimately just mean we want our king in place?
	Because if they were genuinely interested in ending hypocrisy, corruption, and privilege-oriented power structures, they would relinquish their own power.
	Well, I'm talking more about Nancy Pelosi here than Cory Brooker.
	You will be well aware that Nancy Pelosi has accrued $114 million fortune during her time in Congress.
	If she were a monarch, she'd be one of the longest-reigning monarchs in history.
	So, does No Kings include No Queens?
	Let's get into it.
	They're not representative of this country.
	And I looked at all the brand-new signs made for...
	I guess it was made for by Soros and other radical-left lunatics.
	It looks like it was.
	We're checking it out.
	The demonstrations were very small, very ineffective, and the people were whacked out.
	When you look at those people, those are not representative of the people of our country.
	Are they representative of your country?
	Let me know in the comments and chat.
	Here are Cory Brooker and Adam Schiff doing, as Democrats so frequently do, a crap chant.
	We're no king's democracy.
	I've been hiding up in a tree.
	What's that tree?
	Is it an apple tree?
	Like the one...
	I don't know this chant.
	This is what democracy looks like.
	Woo!
	Do you think that just before they made that video, the crowd were chanting, This is what democracy looks like.
	And they thought, look, if we go up there, we can quickly get a moment, right?
	This is what democracy looks like.
	Crickets, crickets, crickets.
	This is what a little white guy looks like.
	Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
	In a way, it shows you that systems of legislation and government require more than a catchy chant.
	Although a catchy chant is a good place to start, so at least get that right.
	I'm not a king.
	I work my ass off to make our country great.
	That's all it is.
	I'm not a king at all.
	When I look at this protest, what I feel is that the Democrats still haven't learned the fundamental lesson of the Trump era.
	People wanted change.
	They wanted hope.
	They wanted a restoration to an America, whether real or imagined, that they feel connected to.
	An America that respected them and cared for them.
	The Democrat Party abandoned ordinary people a long time ago.
	One might argue that Congress is a de facto monarchy where long-serving political figures accrue wealth and privilege while not really doing enough to serve the people they were elected to represent.
	If you needed an image to undergird the hypocrisy and futility of these protests, here's Nancy Pelosi tearing up a plastic crown.
	Gonna tear up the crown.
	No more Burger King.
	McDonald's from now on.
	Why is she tearing up a plastic crown that looks like it's been given with a kid's meal at Burger King, really only to tell you that she would prefer a happy meal?
	The fact that there is no real alternative to hegemony is precisely why in America there is a kind of turgid politics where alternatively one side feels validated and elevated and the other diminished and then essentially those roles swap over periods of decades and decades until presumably the entire country collapses under its own weight.
	Surely it's time for us to consider real radical systemic change.
	Not necessarily radical actually because I'm not thinking that there should be revolutions and blood in the streets.
	What I actually think there should be is sovereignty at the level of the individual and integrity in relationships and the maximum ability to run your own community.
	That's just what I think mate.
	Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
	If you want to read our content on Substack click the link in the description.
	In recent weeks prominent Democrat lawmakers have taken to the streets under the banner of the No Kings rallies, protests designed to denounce Donald Trump's supposed authoritarian ambitions and defend American democracy from the threat of an imperial presidency.
	The symbolism is unmissable.
	Plastic crown snapped in half, chance of this is what democracy looks like, and stern warnings against the return of monarchical power.
	This is what democracy looks like.
	This is what embarrassment looks like.
	For a while they were calling him Hitler.
	That doesn't work.
	People seem to, compared to us, actually quite like Hitler, Stalin, Mao and dictators.
	What if we say he's like a king?
	Because that'll remind them of the Revolutionary War of Independence.
	Yeah, that'll work.
	No way am I wearing a freaking wire?
	Would you be willing to wear a hidden camera and microphone?
	Whoa, it'll wear.
	I won't wear a crown though.
	But behind the slogans and stage gestures lies a deep irony.
	For many of the very people protesting against political kings, the mirror reflects a different truth, one of entrenched power, vast personal wealth, and a political system that increasingly resembles the aristocracy it claims to oppose.
	Well let's look at some of the facts.
	How long do they stay in Congress?
	How many of them are rich?
	So Nancy Pelosi, one of the leaders of the No Kings movement, were she a monarch, would be the seventh longest reigning living monarch.
	That was pointed out by someone on X.
	And also the majority of lawmakers in Congress are millionaires.
	So what is the legitimacy for the claim that the Democrats are against this type of hegemony?
	Let me know in the comments of the chat because I can't see it.
	One of the most striking images from these rallies is of Nancy Pelosi, an 85 year old congresswoman who has served in office for nearly four decades, theatrically snapping a toy crown in two.
	The message was clear.
	Donald Trump is not a king.
	Yet Pelosi herself embodies the kind of political royalty America's founders sought to escape.
	Over a long career, she's accumulated an estimated $140 million of personal wealth, much of it tied to the same markets and industries over which Congress exerts enormous influence.
	Her ten-year longevity and influence in Washington have made her less a representative of the people, more a fixture of power.
	A queen in all but name.
	Nancy Pelosi has famously accrued her wealth, presumably from information gleaned within Congress, though it's probably illegal to say that, so maybe not that.
	But since she's been in Congress, she has made like over $100 million.
	And she does sit on committees that regulate companies that her and her husband Paul Pelosi have stocks and shares in.
	I'm sure those things are coincidences.
	When people say no kings, they mean no corruption.
	They mean no unassailable power.
	They mean they want democracy.
	They mean they want the ability to disrupt, interrupt, interface with the people that are charged with governing them.
	It's not the actual crown.
	The crown is a superficial symbol of inaccessible power.
	And in a way, Nancy Pelosi is wearing, at very least, a tiara.
	And former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her husband have participated in at least eight IPOs.
	One of those came in 2008 from Visa, just as a troublesome piece of legislation that would have hurt credit card companies began making its way through the House.
	Undisturbed by a potential conflict of interest, the Pelosi's purchased 5,000 shares of Visa at the initial price of $44.
	Two days later, it was trading at $64.
	The credit card legislation never made it to the floor of the House.
	Congresswoman Pelosi also declined our request for an interview, but agreed to call on us if we attended a news conference.
	Like a queen, Mike.
	I'm not doing your interview, but if you attend, I may call upon you.
	I may dab at you with my scepter.
	So does democracy look like a hereditary political class where you hear the name Obama a lot and the name Bush a lot and the name Clinton a lot?
	Is democracy about simply replacing monarchy with another class of people that are ultimately difficult to get rid of and accrue privilege from their position?
	Or was democracy meant to be something else?
	And could democracy be something else?
	I wanted to ask you why you and your husband back in March of 2008 accepted and participated in a very large IPO deal from Visa at a time there was major legislation affecting their credit card companies making its way through the House.
	And did you consider that to be a conflict of interest?
	I hope Nancy Pelosi handles this well because this question is being asked with her having had preparatory time.
	I don't know what your point is of your question.
	Is there some point that you want to make with that?
	Well, I guess what I'm asking is, do you think it's all right for a Speaker to accept a very preferential and favorable stock deal?
	Well, we did.
	And you participated in the IPO.
	Well, I have made it a very important question.
	And at the time you were Speaker of the House.
	You don't think it was a conflict of interest or had the appearance of a conflict of interest?
	No, it only has appearance if you decide that you're going to have elaborate on a false premise.
	But it's not true, and that's that.
	I don't understand what part's not true.
	Yes, sir.
	That I would act upon an investment.
	When people say they don't want kings, I think what they're saying is they want control and power and authority over their own lives.
	They don't want systems of intransigent political power where people sit in Congress, accrue vast fortunes, remain in Congress for years, and become alienated and unaccountable.
	A real American Congress would be representative of the real America.
	You could get that data these days.
	You could say, well, this is what the 330 million Americans look like.
	And here is a proportional representation, an assembly that represents them geographically, ethnically, economically, and in terms of their interests.
	We know that Donald Trump has risen to power as a result of broken promises, primarily, I would say, from Democrats.
	The Democratic Party was long supported by members of trade unions.
	Those people have felt abandoned and lost.
	Those people vote in significant numbers for MAGA and for Trump.
	The reason for that is not because they are racist or because they aren't down with wokeism, it's because the Democrat Party abandoned them because they exploited political opportunity to accrue personal fortunes.
	The reason that there are kings and sovereigns, ciphers and symbols of power is because that's what people turned to in the wasteland created ironically by the corruption of figures like Nancy Pelosi.
	If Nancy Pelosi is against corrupt power, she could turn her eye on herself.
	And instead of tearing up a plastic crown, she could just have a long word with herself in the mirror and say something along the lines of, Nancy, you gotta stop making money using information that you acquire in Congress.
	You've got to stop just saying, it's for the children, arbitrarily when you feel like it, and start actually doing things for children.
	The same protest features Democratic senators Cory Brooker and Adam Schiff leading the crowd in the chant, this is what democracy looks like.
	But is it if democracy is meant to reflect the will and well-being of ordinary citizens, then the halls of Congress tell a very different story.
	According to the New York Times, nearly 120 members of Congress are aged 70 or older, with the issues particularly acute among Democrats.
	Many of these lawmakers have held their seats for decades, creating a political elite that looks more like a hereditary class than a dynamic democracy.
	Even more troubling, a significant number of them hold and trade stock in the very industries they regulate, blurring the line between public service and private enrichment.
	As reported by Open Secrets, the majority of lawmakers in Congress are millionaires, making the legislative branch not just the center of political power, but also one of immense personal wealth.
	To understand the irony, it's worth revisiting the meaning of the word king.
	In the British tradition, a king rules by divine right, his authority unchallenged, his reign indefinite, his wealth inherited and protected.
	Citizens may vote, protest and petition, but the monarch remains untouchable.
	Substitute crowns for congressional seats and royal decrees for committee appointments, and the resemblance to Washington's political establishment becomes difficult to ignore.
	When politicians remain in office for decades, insulated from accountability and enriched by their positions, they become a kind of new royalty.
	Political monarchs presiding over a managed democracy.
	Thus, when Pelosi snaps her plastic crown and Booker and Schiff declare that this is what democracy looks like, they invite the uncomfortable question.
	Is this truly democracy, a system in which the same lawmakers hold power for generations, accumulate fortunes through the markets they oversee and pass laws that rarely seem to touch their class?
	Or is it a carefully maintained illusion of a representation in which the ruling elite claim moral authority while the public bears the cost?
	The no kings rallies may have been intended as a warning against Trump, but they serve as an inadvertent reflection on the state of American governance itself.
	A true democracy demands renewal, accountability, transparency and turnover of power.
	Instead, the American system has calcified into a form of electoral aristocracy where longevity and wealth are the new systems of authority.
	The hypocrisy is not in the message that no one should be a king, but in who is delivering it.
	If democracy is to be more than a slogan chanted on the steps of Congress, it must start with those already in power relinquishing their crowns, nor the plastic ones they break for the cameras, but the invisible ones they've worn for decades.
	So will those in power relinquish the invisible crowns that they've been wearing for decades?
	Will America return to her glorious roots?
	A country that threw off the shackles of imperial power, that built a nation on the right to pursue happiness, the sovereignty of every individual.
	And we all know there were mistakes and there was corruption and there was slavery and there were genocide and there were a million terrible things that we could focus on.
	And yet, within all of that, this still is the greatest country in the world.
	This still is a country alive with possibility.
	And whilst Donald Trump might be the end of something rather than the beginning of something, I still believe very deeply in the potential for America to deliver real and true democracy.
	That's just what I think.
