We focus on media manipulation and how quickly perception can be shaped, distorted, and rehabilitated — from doctored images and selective visual framing to footage that only surfaces after narratives have already hardened. That tension carries through the Ilhan Omar incident, where confusion, spectacle, and rapid reframing blur the line between outrage and performance, leaving the audience to question not just what happened, but how stories are manufactured, softened, or quietly closed.

Ladies and gentlemen, Russell Brandon Russell trying to bring real journalism to the American people.
Hello there, you awakening wonders, and thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand.
We are on Rumble.
Rumble, they're doing some incredible work, aren't they?
With shorts and Bitcoin, so much going on.
You can support us here wherever you're watching us on YouTube or on X.
I don't know.
For all I know, you're on the dark net because you're a paedophile.
I'm not saying you're one.
Only you would know, you and the poor innocent victims.
Anyway, in a sense, cryptocurrencies is the perfect way.
That's how they ban cryptocurrencies.
That's how they ban new channels, isn't it?
Paedophiles.
Paedophiles are always at the forefront.
They're pioneers in so many ways.
They're getting ahead of it, aren't they?
Then why wait?
It's almost the paedophile's motto.
So, listen, what I'm saying is, wherever you're watching us, get on over to Rumble and subscribe to Rumble Premium because we need your support.
Today, we're talking about the endless fractures that are taking place in the United States of America and American politics.
Let us know how you feel about Ilan Omar being.
It looked like to me she was attacked with a squirty gun.
Whereas that other poor lad, he got attacked with much more of a well, I don't know, Dave, you're an expert in matters to do with firearms.
It looked like he was shot very much with a real gun.
Yeah, it looked real.
And may God have mercy on his eternal soul.
And a lot of videos coming out now with him being a lot more of a car kicker than had previously been assumed.
Yeah, we'll see.
Look at Babe, more responsible than me.
Dave's like, you know, he's got his own podcast, but he's only meant to be mucking about.
I'm joined, of course, by the great Jake Smith, Christian musician for hire.
Never seen a Willie Nelson looker like that.
He didn't want to do a duet with Jake Smith available for a church near you for half a sixpence.
If you want to be my friend, I need you to not be talented.
You can't be handsome.
Really boring.
Wait a second.
And then Russell can approve.
They're the only friends I'm secure enough to tolerate.
We are joined from the UK by the great Joe McCann.
I'm enjoying your new hair, Joe.
All right, yeah, you look healthy, you look well.
You're a man of God.
I'll be interested to hear more about your ongoing monastic retreats and insights.
And today, on his birthday of all days, the great Massey.
And I don't think that there's a single one of us who is too hard-hearted or too mature not to just sing happy birthday to Massey right now.
And you know, that bit during happy birthday, it's about three happy birthdays in.
We start to feel a bit, oh no, we're still in this.
Well, let's do it now.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday, dear Massey.
Happy birthday to you.
Only improved by the fact that he created a secondary harmony there.
Show that to Margaret.
That'll cheer her up.
We've got Liam's with us right now in the studio.
Hello, Liam.
We're thinking about using this kind of footage, particularly this shot here, is going to be double useful to you.
Remember, if you don't have any reborn products yet, man, you should subscribe.
Guess what I started using today?
This hydration strawberry lemonade.
If you sweat like because you know one of the phrases in the UK, sweating like a rapist.
Oh man, people go, oh man, I'm sweating like a rapist.
Let me just emphasize, like a rapist.
Not as a rapist.
Like a sinner in church.
It's like the center in church.
Sweating like a sinner in church.
Sweating like, yeah, sweating like a sinner in church doesn't have so much.
I mean, and everyone's a sinner, ain't they?
I'll tell you what, though, these reborn products.
Look, I know some of you might sort of have concerns maybe about like, oh, why are you selling stuff?
Well, do you know that all media runs on advertising?
Do you know that CNN, MSNBC, all of your favorite networks, whether it's a peacock or a dog's cock that they use as a logo, they're all just selling your stuff.
We learned during the COVID period that they're only even buying those advertisements so that they can stop media organizations publishing the truth about the negative impact of their products.
Did you hear that turbo cancers are likely caused and exacerbated by the vaccine?
That's not my research.
You should look into our man.
I wish I had that guy's name that I was on the Maha call with the other day.
Can we do a little bit of research now, Jake?
Just look into turbo cancers.
And that guy, he's cool, saying like Dr. Patrick, and then the surname's Chinese sounding or at least Oriental sounding.
Anyway, is it the guy that was yeah, we saw him?
We've seen him a bunch of times.
Anyway, that's not my point.
My point is this is actually delicious.
I started taking them elemental ones, right?
Like I was nicking them all the time.
But you know me, I'm an addict.
So I started doing like, I was hydrating myself to within an inch of my life.
I was like the fella at the end of the Ghostbusters, you know, the marshmallow man by the end.
I was retaining fluids.
I had fluids in my titty boobs, fluids in my hips, fluids in my boots, fluid in my lips.
Oh, but now I got this.
This is my own brand, Reborn Hydration Electrolyte Drink Mix.
We use French salts.
The salt is French, Joe.
Lovely French salt.
Problem with French salt, it backs down.
One sniff of a Nazi, it folds up like a deck chair.
No, it's good stuff, this.
It's good stuff.
If you need an extra boost, like Emmanuel Macron, some times Emmanuel Macron, you might need a little bit more.
See, Emmanuel Macron, he don't want a normal wife.
He wants a wife with a little bit extra.
A little bit extra downstairs, a bit of extra punch.
This has got French sauce, a little bit of extra punch from rebrand, Reborn Rehydration Electrolyte Drink.
Subscribe to these.
I think it's my favorite product yet.
We've got some exciting ones coming up.
What you saying, Jake?
How do you feel about that mushroom coffee?
I heard that's pretty good for you.
Jake, it's a delicious product, but we're still in the experimental phase.
Is it even available yet?
Can people even have that?
It just got launched.
Oh, you should try that.
You should try a subscription.
In fact, I'm going to take a sip of it now.
I like it to be called an elixir, which it says on the package.
Hit the Lord.
Sorry, Jesus.
Sorry about that, Jesus.
Another era.
Another wild era.
No, it's fantastic.
Don't overdo it with the promo, Jake.
I know it looks like I'm not trying, but I'm actually a genius.
Let me tell you, it's fucking exhausting.
So, okay, right.
The first up, we're going to do this thing about, we're going to do, we're going to cover this story about Ilan Omar and we're going to talk about Iran some dishonest media manipulation.
Fascinating, fascinating.
Let's start there.
We've covered Massey's birthday.
We've covered our products.
We've covered you in glory.

Join us.
If you don't have Rumble Premium, yet get Rumble Premium now.
Remember to support Reborn.
Let's go.
So, oh, this is this thing.
It appears MSNBC go, oh, that, oh my god, that's the victim.
All right.
Oh, I see he's a nurse, is he?
They gave Alex Pretty a tan, stronger jawline, better teeth, shorter forehead, and a nose job to make him look hotter for the AWFL.
So they've broadened his shoulders, thickened his neck and go, is this subsequent tease?
Does anyone know?
Is that subsequent to his murder when they were promoting the afterwards?
Why do they do that?
Do you see?
You cannot trust the media anymore.
They have a vested interest in the outcome.
They are an arm of organizations that require total control of you.
We might be flawed.
We might be fallible.
We might be attempting to simultaneously sell you Rumble Premium and Delic Electrolyte drinks.
But what we're not trying to do is control your consciousness and control your family.
We believe in decentralization and direct digital democracy wherever possible.
And that is what we're going to advocate for.
An end to this senseless tension between left and right and a variety of cultural and religious identities, direct democracy.
We actually believe in the thing that they tell you they believe in.
So, okay, so after the murder, which is however you see it, very, very sad and awful that Alex Pretty died in the street.
Initially, it seemed like it was somewhat unprovoked, but subsequently, it's starting to be revealed that there was some sort of tension.
And by the way, even if, let me, answer me this in the comments.
You can go whenever you want, Liam.
You're cool, man.
Answer me this.
Even if you might say, well, Alex Pretty didn't do anything directly provocative himself, we're living in a cultural crucible now, a cauldron of constant tension.
If you're in law enforcement or if you're a protester, you're coming to that now, knowing that there's death in the air, that there's murder and that there's tension.
And the tragic thing is, is none of it is of any value at all, and none of it is going to produce the desired result on either side.
Brilliant law enforcement officers are being put under unnecessary pressure and protesters are protesting in vain about probably something that none of us fully understand.
Certainly I didn't fully understand it when I was engaged with it.
What I mean to say is, what is your it's not cryptic or opaque this, what's your end point?
What is the point of those protests to end ISIS intervention and ability and willingness to enforce a democratically delivered mandate to remove illegal migrants from the United States of America?
Is that what you want to stop?
That's what you want to stop.
Well, there was an election and people voted for that.
So I don't know what you're going to do.
So by escalating these tensions, you know, and I'm not saying that people shouldn't protest.
I believe people should protest when there are corrupt governments in office.
And frankly, there always are, because government is by its nature corrupt and centralized governments are yet more corrupt because you're coalescing and amalgamating power centrally in a way that it power is not meant to be centralized except for the one true power.
But that's just what I think.
Let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
Look, you are American and you're American, aren't you?
I can see it when I look at you.
I frankly can smell it on the both of you.
So what do you think about this Alex Petty murder?
Like, do you feel that this is an unprovoked attack and an example of police brutality?
Or do you feel that these protests have gotten out of hand?
Jake?
I think you can't trust any of it.
I think there's always different motives, but there's a large motive at play.
We talk about it all the time.
Darkness versus light.
So one side's trying to define what they think is light and what they think is darkness.
The problem is they're not using God as the judge of what actually is.
They're going off of their own feelings and preferences.
Jake mimed a measuring line when he did that.
I know it's in scripture a lot when there are prophetic instances of engagement with, well, it seems like Christ, but certainly angelic and prophetic figures.
I'm talking about Ezekiel and I'm talking about Daniel.
Often they're measuring out territories.
It's God that determines the territory.
But you, Dave, after all, are a Texan as well as a Christian.
How do you feel we should counsel your country with regard to this matter?
Because if you just double down on these protesters are wrong, it seems like you're a blind MAGA nationalist.
If you condemn law enforcement personnel, it's like you're insensitive to the risk that they put themselves at when they conduct their work.
Where do you stand, mate?
I think a couple of observations.
Me and Eddie talked about it yesterday quite a bit, which was his perspective was really good.
He made it's like media forces you.
Choose a side.
You have to, you know, you're either going to go left, you're going to go right.
You're going to go, you're going to say this is bad, this is wrong.
And depending on what you read, I mean, it's very slanted both ways.
And it's trying to force you in division is one thing.
Another observation he made around specifically Alex was, man, those the ICE guys weren't, that was untrained.
They're not getting real training around this.
And so coming from a Navy SEAL who trains SWAT and all sorts of law enforcement, he said, I mean, you look at the video and you're like, okay, these guys weren't.
They were set up in a way.
It is what he was saying because they didn't have proper training around it.
And at least that was an observation that I haven't heard yet.
It was something new to think about.
Dave's referring to his own podcast, Shoot Me Straight, that he does with Eddie Gallagher, the exonerated and acquitted Navy SEAL who was falsely accused of murdering a member of ISIS who was temporarily in his custody while he was on active duty in Iraq, intervening in an unnecessary and unjust war that was sold to us as necessary and important.
And then, oh man, we have the nerve to blame the combatants themselves.
And I suppose his perspective is valuable because of the incredible experience.
And yes, I suppose that's important, isn't it?
Because ICE as an agency, when it's not so highly politicized, are like, they're a group of folks like, hang on a minute, you ain't got the proper papers.
Get the fuck out.
I mean, they're like ticket inspectors on a train in the UK.
You better be on this train.
Where's your ticket?
And that's when I'd be in the old toilets hitting the pipe.
I don't have a ticket.
Don't lock the door.
Because if you lock the door, then they know there's someone in there.
You leave the door unlocked.
You get on your pipe.
You sit in the toilet.
You wait till you're at London, Fenchurch Street, and hopefully you'll get away with it.
Sometimes you will, sometimes you won't.
That's it.
But as I used to say at ticket inspectors, I've still got to get where I'm going.
What am I supposed to do?
And then it's over to the false names and addresses.
Nicholas Hunter, Stephen Norington, Paul Cobb, all lads at my school whose real addresses I had.
I apologise to you all.
Those were my train ticket fares.
Those are some crimes that I can happily confess to because I would confess to any crime because before I was a Christian, I was a 12-step guy.
So people know everything about me.
I've done what's called step four and five, which are fearless and thorough inventories.
And on it, it did say, I used to fare evade and give my mates names and addresses.
And what it didn't say is I raped a whole load of people.
And there's a reason for that.
It's because I've never done it.
It's funny how it all works out, really, ain't it?
Okay, let's continue with the analysis and see if I can shut up about myself for 10 seconds.
I doubt it.
Let's have a look at this new footage.
Well, firstly, Massey's put in this of Rogan.
Rogan, I saw in his own podcast, made the point that they...
This is beautiful, actually, because of the way media's changed.
We can see play out very quickly and vividly.
They didn't like Joe Rogan during COVID, so they made Joe Rogan all yellow.
Media's Changing Landscape00:10:51
And they do like Alex Petty because he somehow temporarily, peculiarly represents a set of values.
And God rest his eternal soul.
And my condolences to those people that are in real life affected by him.
I know he's a real person, not just an object in the media culture.
It's easy to forget that.
They made him look sort of like some swarthy hunk.
But it's not like that, but that shows you their true values, doesn't it?
Like it shows you that they think there's more value in a handsome person dying.
We can't show that he looked sallow and pal.
It's sad if a sallow pal person is murdered as a result of police or authoritative brutality.
That's all wrong.
He's all wrong.
You don't need to start it up or spice it up if it's wrong.
And the real tragedy with Alex Petty's murder was he had a smashing set of tits, as you can see in this photo.
Oh, God rest is the eternal soul of Alex Petty and his beautiful rack.
He's a human being that died.
So either that's wrong or it's not wrong.
The sophisticated thing to be able to achieve is to be able to be sympathetic towards ICE agents.
And we've got this new intel in from Eddie Gallagher from Eddie Gallagher from Dave Fields and Eddie Gallagher's podcast shoot me straight that those ICE officers probably aren't trained in the kind of hand-to-hand combat that's likely to occur when dealing with frontline protest situations.
So sympathy to those ICE officers, same as the one like a week ago where it was the dude that thought he was going to get hit by a car that'd been hit by a car before and reacted in a volatile situation with violence.
You know, we have to be sympathetic to them and to the righteousness of protesters that are presumably, I pray God, motivated by a desire to help vulnerable people and to be kind to the foreigner and the alien, specific edicts in our faith.
How can we hold together these two things?
Well, I suppose the only way I can hold it together is by recognizing that Alex Petty and their officer involved are fallen, broken people like me that have made mistakes like me and you and will continue to make mistakes if only there was some redeeming healing force that allowed us to come in faith and grace and say, I'm sorry, I don't know what I'm doing.
I don't know how to handle this.
I can't trust authority.
I sometimes don't feel like I can trust myself.
Can I trust you?
And the answer will be resolutely and resoundingly yes.
So why and how could you be skeptical about Christianity and Christ when you've got such meagre gruel in its stead?
The meagre gruel of a culture that tells you that it's God when it's anything but let's remind ourselves of how they sort of touched up dear old Joe Rogan when it was convenient to have him as a villain.
And turns out I got COVID.
So we immediately threw the kitchen sink out of all kinds of meds.
Showing, in this instance, Alex Petty, God rest his soul, spitting on federal agents and kicking out a taillight.
Oh, that's a week earlier.
I did, yeah, I've seen this on the internet.
You guys have seen this on the internet, I suppose.
This is a moment the news filmed on 1313 Minneapolis showing a man who appears to be Alex Predty federal federal information agents before the shot shot killed and killed him.
Our footage was analyzed by the BBC.
He's done a good job of kicking out our taillight.
That's not easy to kick out a taillight.
That's a good...
You've followed through from the hip there, wouldn't you say, Joe?
To be able to get the taillight out.
He looked like he got a good whiplash effect on that, and it was very accurate as well.
Good whiplash effect.
Very accurate.
Little consolation now that you've sadly been killed.
But, you know, all glory is fleeting.
Recognition technology confirmed his identity to a 97% degree of accuracy.
On the morning of January 13th, our team received a tip that federal agents were blocking a street at the corner of East 36 and Park Avenue in Minneapolis.
We arrived around 10.15 a.m.
We saw observers shouting at the agents as they walked back to their vehicles.
When they started driving away, the man kicked their taillight.
I reckon he might have suffered some, I reckon the knee.
He's not used his knee very well there.
there could be some pushback on the knee.
Look, I feel, I'm trying to think about what activism ought look like.
And I suppose what activism ought look like is what are you trying to express that you don't feel in control of your community and things are being done that you don't agree with in a way that you don't agree with for ends that you don't agree with.
And I understand the temptation and have many times yielded to the temptation to direct action.
And I actually do agree with direct action and disobedience.
It's always very difficult for me when I see those annoying folks.
In the UK, it's very popular to sit down in the street and block the road, like to protest, but against fuel and fossil fuels and stuff like that.
And I really admire people's tenacity, but it's always super annoying.
Like, I tell you, man, if I were trying to get somewhere and like someone was blocking the road, I was taking my kid to a hospital appointment.
Well, actually, somewhat less than that, if I was going to get a haircut, I think I'd be like, you get out of my fucking way.
Like, I mean, it's just not, it's annoying, isn't it, Joe?
It's very annoying, mate.
Yeah, I don't know why they do that.
It just fucks everyone else up, doesn't it?
Do you know what I mean?
There's other ways of making a point in there.
I wonder what these ways are of making a point.
Let's know in the comments and chat how activism can start coalescing.
And really, the problem is, like you were saying a minute ago, Dave, is that people are not funneling their energy in the correct direction.
Oh man, I had a good conversation with a geezer yesterday.
He's like a civil engineer in a local county.
And he goes, What you realize is that in a community, right, this is good because it scales this, I think.
He goes, when you're working as a civil engineer in a local community, you realize there's democratic processes.
A county's divided up into districts, but there's the population, even in a small county, is somewhat disparate.
And you get objectives in some districts are different from objectives in other districts.
And the real power brokers are essentially financial forces that come in and attend these meetings of, are we going to develop this?
Or are we going to build one of those?
Or are we going to renew that?
And they benefit these financial interests do from chaos and tension.
And I think that's the way it is at scale as well.
And I think unwillingly and unwittingly, I mean, if all you're doing is writing F off you Jews or I don't like Muslims in the comments or you're a rapist or whatever, you're actually no problem at all.
You're just out of the way, you know.
But if you're out on the street causing a lot of ag, you're also helping.
What you actually need to do, this is what grace can do for us, is that you could get to the point where Martin Luther King, that great inspired and ingenious Christian leader, got to protesting peacefully, being willing to die for what you believe in, but not being violent.
Not out of weakness or, well, maybe a kind of meekness, like the divine meekness described in the Beatitudes, but out of a strategic recognition that if you kick off, they're just going to nick you, arrest you, you won't get anywhere.
I think one side would say that's like righteous anger, but then I would always say, who decides what's righteous?
So I was watching Chosen season five.
I'm a little behind, but Jesus flips over the money changers and all that.
He's the only one that that was probably, I mean, it was righteous anger.
So the left could see that whole side of kicking the car and all that and go, but that's a justified righteous anger.
But who defines that?
Who does define it?
And I suppose that's the limitations of an essentially dualistic democracy that gives you this offer or that offer.
The Democrats doing better on compassion and social justice, or at least highlighting those issues.
And the Republicans doing better on individual freedom and religious practice, sanctity of life.
I don't know.
Let me know in the comments and chat what you think about that.
But what this Minneapolis issue is, is I suppose this has always been a divided country, the United States of America.
Some people didn't want to have the revolution against the British.
Turns out those people were right.
Then there was a civil war around the secession issues.
People wanting, you know, to some degree, of course, slavery, but wanting a greater deal of control and independence.
Now, we can all agree that the issue of slavery, regardless of who is enslaving whom, is wrong.
But what seems to have occurred in its stead is the ability to enslave entire populations, but to maintain the slave mindset, i.e., you are not free to directly commune with your creator and live how you might want to live.
That's been brokered by intermediaries.
And I'm not talking about institutions like the church, although I'm sure that argument can be made.
I'm talking about state and government institutions are acting as brokers and mediators of righteousness, as Jake was just indicating there.
They're telling you what's righteous.
Well, I've seen some statistics that suggest that more people were deported under Clinton than have been deported so far under Trump, more under Obama, more under Bush.
So the protests are actually a media concoction and as a, like so many things these days, a result of reporting and the kind of sustained hysteria that the media that we're participating in right now seems to afford.
So if you are actually interested in a solution, and by solution, I probably mean salvation, redemption, and deliverance, i.e. a return to something better or an arrival at something inconceivably good, then it's not going to be doubling down on what you already know.
It's going to be change.
It's going to be the willingness to reach out to people on the other side, as corny as that sounds.
It's going to be for dear Alex Petty or Pretty, his name seems to be written down every time I read it in a different way.
Like it's going to be, for him, the compassion that he feels for those migrants that are being dislodged and kicked out of your country in the United States.
He's going to have to extend that compassion to the ICE agents.
For those of you that resolutely support the ICE agents, we must be willing to see the reason and indeed kindness in the people that are protesting for migrants.
Venice.AI: Stay Free00:02:22
And I suppose, you know, maybe we can map that onto any issue.
Abortion versus pro-life, anything.
If we're not willing to try to understand the good motives of the people that we are in conflict with, then from contempt, there will only come more conflict.
But that's just what I think.
Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat?
We'll be talking about this a little more as well as items from each and every beloved member of this team.
But before that, here's a quick message from one of our partners.
We're all using AI now, aren't we?
This probably isn't even actually really me.
It's like a diary.
Business ideas, health questions, private thoughts.
Now, Sam Altman says Chat GPT can reference all your past conversations and get to know you over your life.
Thanks!
Open AI has former NSA leadership on its board, is exploring ads and even requires government ID for some models.
That should give you pause.
Well, if you've got nothing to hide, you've nothing to fear.
Well, just hope that you never ever do anything that could ever bother anyone.
All you have to do is live a life of total irrelevance and you should be fine.
But what if you want more?
What if you want to participate?
What if you want to be a conduit for divinity?
What if you believe that there's a Armageddon coming, a great big holy battle?
What are you going to do?
Sit quietly putting your ID into some digital code.
No, Fight back, baby.
We've already learned too late what social media was doing with our data.
AI is worse because people share far more intimate information.
Yeah.
On top of that, most AI tools censor harmless prompts and quietly steer what you're allowed to ask or think.
That's why I've been using Venice.
That's right.
Venice.
Venice is a private, uncensored AI platform, Dave.
Your prompts stay on your device, not their servers.
No surveillance, no data harvesting, no moral scolding.
You should not have said that.
It uses powerful open source models, including Venice Uncensored, which refuses prompts only about 2% of the time, compared to the majority on other platforms.
You can switch between models, generate images other AIs won't touch.
It's for porn.
It's for porn.
It's for perverts AI.
Analyze documents, even create custom AI characters, all without handing over your ID.
If you want AI without censorship and without surveillance, go to venice.ai forward slash stay free and use the code stay free for 20% off Venice Pro.
Links in the description and pinned in the comment.
And I'm going to be using it because I'm always creating content.
I'm not interested in pervy, porny things like that.
Stomach Woes and Smells00:16:00
That's everywhere.
You can get that wherever you want it.
If you want it and you shouldn't want it, it doesn't help you.
What you want to do, though, is organize systems of opposition to this corrupt and disgusting centralized tyranny that we're all forced to fight right now.
Stay free.
Are you in a squad?
I'm in a squad.
I'm in the God squad.
Yeah.
But this lady who you know about called Ilan Omar, she's one of those people like AOC that sort of people get wound up about.
Let's have a little look at her getting all sprayed up while doing a speech.
And I think it's sort of tangentially at least connected to this matter, isn't it?
Did you see this already, Dave?
Yeah, I did.
He didn't spray her in the face though.
He just sprayed.
It looked like he just sprayed her body.
What are you suggesting?
It was a deodorant.
I don't know.
A pheromone.
I have no idea.
Jake?
I don't know.
Let's watch the clip.
Massey, you must have seen the clip.
You put it into the engine.
And you're looking pretty sterile.
You're a dangerous racist.
So let's have a look.
What did you think it was?
Tummy worms?
Little can of tummy worms.
Yeah, I've got tummy worms in there.
That's my body porridge.
That's my nut butter.
That's my willy scribble.
I think we could just have a close-up of.
I watched Dave's face do this.
Dave just went.
I just looked up and disappointed.
He's not even angry at this point, Massey.
He's disappointed.
Let's have a look at this.
I, by the way, like idealistic people.
So I like AOC.
to resign or face impeachment.
She's on the front foot.
She's on the front foot.
Not like, I mean, I've seen some people when under attack, like, I'm worried that I would flinch as well.
I'm worried that I'd go, tummy worms.
But she's on the front foot, isn't she?
He had a line.
He's like, yeah, you're going to resign.
Like he had that line.
Oh, period.
He was waiting.
She sat in the audience.
Like, okay, in a minute, she'll say resign.
And that's when I come forth with my little spritz of tummy worms.
And he should be impeached or resigned.
Oh, that's it.
Now's my moment.
This is my moment.
And he's up there with an aerosol full of tummy worms like you wouldn't believe.
Hmm.
But I see the security, Joe.
You're trained in personal defense and close protection and security.
Look, is there any way we can go back against that clip to the, if I press stop, now watch again?
I think the geezer, security, white geezer coming from the corner.
Maybe start it over.
He stumbles.
He stumbles.
Now we all stumble in Christ, but I think he trips over some sort of cable.
Now, you could blame that on the electrics.
They should have had them taped down.
They should have had that gaffer taped a bit better.
But let's have a look at him stumbling.
And all credit to wait because I've not memorized her name.
Ilan Omar.
She's on it.
to resign or face impeachment.
Child, give us a blow-by-blow.
I'd say for starters the security's far, he's too far away, right?
He was over in the corner there.
Now, I'd want to be closer to the principal than the nearest person in the front of the queue.
And then, bang, straight in, form a barrier.
What they should do...
She did good.
She did good.
She's well good.
Respect to her for that.
She's got stones.
I reckon they should have put some sort of next to the podium to the right.
You have something saying like Ilan Omar for a better America.
Just like a poster like that.
One of them things that you go after you pull it out of a rollout.
And then you have to give it a spine.
Dink!
Like them, you know, you have them at church.
Dink!
Like that, and it stays there under its own terrible tension.
One of them there, and your man, white fella, he stands behind that.
He's cat-like, Joe.
He's like that.
He's not there.
He's at any minute.
The tummy worms could come at any moment.
Any moment now's the tummy worms.
And he gets up.
Oh, yeah.
I'll give you a sign.
I resigned to this.
This is coming out of my urethra.
Right at you, bitch.
Right?
And then he's like, fuck you.
He sweeps that out aside.
Joe, how does he, was he, what's his first move?
Flying headbut.
Oh, no, no.
No, not a headbutt.
No, Dave, that don't, he shouldn't, not a headbutt.
Even elbow, which I was going to suggest.
Maybe a double leg.
Just take him down.
Double.
Double leg, Joe.
Double leg.
If he was stood there, how you suggested with his hands like that?
That's just a good deterrent itself.
Just leave it like that.
No one go near it.
I think.
I think Dave would take the spray for one of us.
He would take that spray right in the face.
He took a few jets from me.
I think what I would say is that, yes, you're right.
A deterrent.
In the art of war by Zun Tzu, I think he's called.
It says the best fight is a fight you don't even have to have.
So the cat, my brilliant suggestion of like Ilan Omar should be flanked at all times by like a sort of, I'll call it like Thundercats style Lino, like Lino from Thundercats, like Lino or the Lady Lion one, She-Ra lion one.
They're like that.
They're ready to go.
Or any of the Mattel toys of the 80s, He-Man, Thundercats, any of those guys, they're ready to go.
And, you know, your man there with your little spritzer of knob yogurt, he's not going to have the guts, is he?
If he sees, like...
He's staying like that the whole time.
The whole time, Jake.
I think that would deter me, if somebody's just...
Yeah.
If they make that fucking shit.
Yeah, yeah, the full makeup one.
Ultimate Warrior.
Like Ultimate Warrior.
What's he doing now?
Or even Gene Simmons from Kiss.
Any man in a lot of makeup with aggressive body language, probably me in that rape documentary.
They could have just had me poised there with a salesis.
I'll take it.
I'll take that sialisis.
Anyone moves a muscle?
I'll flip this thing.
Thunder, thunder, thundercats.
Let's have a look at the rest of the clip.
Where are you spraying?
I don't know.
Oh, my God.
He's bright.
I need a napkin to know.
No, we will.
She says she needs a napkin and it smells terrible.
Anyway, look, I like her.
This has made me like her better.
I think she's alright.
You don't think it's staged?
No, no, no.
Staged?
Well, that geese, I've gone, right?
You come up with the tummy worms, give her a spritz, then we'll have the old lumbering haymaker security from 1950.
She might as well be called Gentleman Jim as the protecting her.
If it is staged, it's been staged in a tedious way, I'd say.
But you feel she now, I think she looked good, man.
You think staged?
What do you think?
Yeah.
That's because you want it to be staged.
Did she move before she got up?
Was she already saw him when she was moving?
She moved when the guy was as soon as the security guard had it, she was like, right, now hold me back.
But he was being held back anyway.
He rolled this.
Yeah, that's like me.
That's like me after Joe knew.
After Joe stepped in, me sort of like, do you fucking want?
I will show you.
Now for a triangle.
Okay, let's go back to the beginning.
Let's pay close attention.
Tell us when you're watching along at home, staged or not staged, in the chat.
to resign or face impeachment.
She nodded to me.
I think she flinched first.
She flinched.
Then he came over like he was singing Knees Up Mother Brown.
He had his knees too high.
He was like, oh, I'll save you out, you land, like that.
Knees up to his chest.
And then she moved in.
Now, I like that.
I like that.
She's a bird that would have a row, wouldn't she?
You know them that on the front foot, take a shoe off, bang around the head.
Good stuff.
That's what it was.
Like, oh, that's just silly string.
Like, she had to see that it was tummy worms.
Body wobble.
Bring Oman.
When he raised sprays.
I don't know.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
He's spraying something on her.
I need to add a napkin to know like it's male.
No, no, we'll go with him.
No, we will.
No, no, no.
Johan, you need to go.
Get off that mic, you animal.
We won't continue.
This fucking assholes are not going to get away.
We need to go get checked.
Oh, yeah, no, she's up for it now.
I don't know what to do.
No, no, no.
That's whatever it is.
It smells so bad.
It smells so bad.
She got to get chicken.
That could be Worcester sauce.
That could be anything.
She needs to go get checked.
I don't know what that is.
That's what they want.
Please don't let them know.
It's not about him, Johan.
It's not about him.
It's about your safety.
No, he sprays police.
You need to go get checked.
Yeah, and it smells terrible.
After some of the recent assassination attempts, to sort of be complaining that it smells, it's a bit rich.
Oh, it smells.
It smells awful.
Well, can I just show you this footage of Charlie Kirk?
There you go.
So, I mean, the least of the worries is the aroma.
Oh, it's a bit of a musk.
Oh, it's a bit, oh, that's a bit of a tang.
Oh, that's kicking up a bit.
There's people getting their fucking heads blown off week after week.
Look, I reckon that our job is to not let this whole matter or any other matter fall into the false dichotomy of political argument.
Things are either right or they are wrong.
You're either standing up for what you believe in or you're not.
And I would say she does pretty good on getting on the front foot over there.
And if you think it's staged, would you apply the same analysis to any cultural artifact?
Don't you think we've become adept, all of us, sort of recognizing, oh, this is my side's thing and this is the other side's thing.
And I'm just through having sides because I don't think that's the answer.
I'll tell you why, because I could easily find myself in an art like on the other side of an argument with my own wife and my own children pretty easily.
So I just feel like what we have to do is submit absolutely to what we know to be right.
And if we don't know what to be right, read the old Bible.
It tells you pretty plainly in there.
And that doesn't mean, by the way, judge and control other people.
It means something quite contrary to that.
And maximum personal authority, maximum community authority.
So you could get back to a kind of Romans 13.
Because, you know, Romans 13, mean, we'll do this.
We'll do this in a minute.
We'll have a look at one more clip and then I want to talk about the Romans 13 thing.
Dave thinks it was staged.
Dave's not alone in that.
All of you guys, I'll ask you whether you think staged or not staged.
We'll get back.
Tell us in the comments and chat, staged or not staged.
If you're watching this on YouTube, we're leaving now and we'll be exclusively on Rumble.
Click the link in the description and join us there.
As multiple people have already pointed out, she nodded at her attacker right before he leapt at her, seemingly signaling him to do so.
If you compare this attack on Ilhan Omar to other poison scares on officials, it really doesn't pass the smell test.
When unknown substances if you compare it to other poison, okay, let's put it into the old poison scare file.
How often are these things happening?
I don't remember another one.
Like in my country, briefly and sadly, I have to tell you, Americans, there was a phase called seagulling where young lads at school were ejaculating into their own hands and then throwing it at passers-by and saying, seagull!
Now, well, because that's like the seagull's poop, you know, there was some breakout groups that were doing spider-manning, but seagulling and spider-manning were the main phases.
You know, so we do have some precedent to understand what the trajectories might look like and whether or not you could stage a seagulling.
I see that as a legit seagulling.
Let us know in the comments and chat what you think about that.
When unknown substances threaten U.S. officials, the protocol is clear: evacuate immediately, quarantine to a full hazmat sweep, no exceptions.
In 2001, when the anthrax letters hit Senators Tom Dashall and Patrick Leahy at the Hart Senate office building, that place was evacuated on the spot.
The staff was decontaminated, antibiotics were rushed in, sections shut down for weeks.
It was a full panic mode.
There was a 2004 Ryson scare in the Dirksen Senate building near Majority Leader Bill Friss's office.
Evacuation ordered there, areas quarantined, tests run for days.
A 2013 Ryson letter to President Obama and Senator Roger Wicker, same deal.
Lockdowns, evacuations, emergency response.
Even with another liquid threat, like the 2006 nerve agent scare in the Senate office building.
Same exact thing.
He's obsessed with poison attacks.
He's got too much time on his hands and probably too much poison and potentially some sperm.
The whole thing was absolute craziness.
Now, check out this.
This is from Romans 13, attributed to, and very, very likely, in fact, I believe it was written by St. Paul.
Now, I want to point out that St. Paul was, as we would say in the UK, doing bird when he wrote this.
So I've always had trouble with this because I see scripture since becoming Christian as the strongest advocacy I've ever had for rebellion against false systems while submitting entirely to God.
I've come to understand that the reason that the world is the way it is is because it's in the thrall and the control of the evil one.
And when popular commentators, whether it's Candace Owens or Alex Jones or David Icke, talk about demonic influence and dark, shadowy cabals and cadres and cartels and groups controlling our systems of government from behind the scenes, it's all actually in here.
Except we've always had a bit of a problem with old Romans 13, which seems to tell us that we should be submitting to human authority.
You thought I've all been Christian longer than me.
And I'd like to know what you've got to say on it.
And let me know in the comments and chat how you reconcile this.
I even tried to say maybe someone snuck it in, some little snide at the Neocene Council.
Here, put that in.
That'll take the wind out of their sails.
And here is those famous verses.
Let everyone, says St. Paul, be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established.
So I suppose the argument is: if God didn't want that government, they'd get shot of it.
The authorities that exist have been established by God.
Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted.
And those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong.
Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority, which is God?
Then do what is right and you will be commended.
For the one in authority is God's servant for your good.
But if you do wrong, be afraid.
For rulers do not bear the sword for no reason.
They are God's servants, agents of wrath, to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.
Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment, but also as a matter of conscience.
Why Pay Taxes?00:02:09
This is why you also pay taxes.
Oh my god, it's getting worse and worse.
It's why you pay taxes for the authorities.
I felt a pang there.
You know what I mean?
But I felt in my heart.
For the authorities are God's servants who give their full time to governing.
Give to everyone what you owe them.
Fine.
If you owe taxes, pay taxes.
Okay.
If revenue, then revenue.
If respect, then respect.
If honor, then honor.
But before all of you answer, Paul was in chains when he wrote that.
So obviously some laws have been broken.
Some non-compliance with authority must have been undertaken.
Go on in Jake.
What do you think?
I think it's he followed the rules of the authorities so that the only reason he'd be in prison was because of the gospel.
That's it.
That's why they imprison him.
So park where you're supposed to park, go the speed limit, and then if you find yourself in jail under those circumstances, it's because you've...
But then what if, like me, you believe that government in general has become corrupt, in general, not the exception?
We're not waiting just for Rwanda or for some terrible travesty or North Korea, the outliers.
What if you believe like I do in general?
Well, then we're saying that my belief is heresy because there it is in black and white telling you to obey authority.
I'm really struggling with that verse, particularly I sort of, you know, as all theologians and students of scripture have done for since we've had access to it, we've used different bits of scripture to argue against itself because in Revelation, it makes pretty clear that the government, world government, is the instrument of Satan.
Let me know in the comments and chat if you know a lot about Christianity or if you know someone I should talk to about deep Christianity, like some cool theologian who wears SpongeBob socks or something.
Jake's boyfriend, Finocchio.
Then like, you know, let's know.
Dave, what do you reckon about it, mate?
I don't think it doesn't say don't call him out.
It doesn't say to not speak the truth, but as far as following laws, unless it I mean, unless it's superseding what God has commanded you.
Joe, you don't like authority.
What do you think about it?
Beast of Captivity00:04:16
No, no, I struggle with that.
I mean, I'll follow God's law and then sort of secondary to that, government law.
But sometimes it's going to contradict, I think, isn't it?
It's always, I think.
I think it always does.
I think that we're in a big open prison, the way I see it.
We're in an open prison that Increasingly, they'll turn our society into real life immersive one flu over the cuckoo's nest or a kind of like a one big airport where every hundred yards you have to have a check or someone sticks a stick up your snout or has a look up your bum hole, make sure that you're doing everything right.
They're taking your shoes on, you know, Simon says in you to within an inch of your life.
Here is Revelations 13.
The dragon stood on the shore of the sea and I saw a beast written by St. John, like by John, the beloved disciple.
And I saw a beast coming out of the sea.
It had ten horns and seven heads with ten crowns on its horn and on each head a blasphemous name.
The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion.
The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.
One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed.
The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast.
Now, I know if you don't like Trump, you're going to jump all over that, incha.
With the ear hole and everything.
People worship the dragon.
China.
Chainer.
Because he had given authority to the beast.
And they also worshiped the beast and asked, who is like the beast?
Who can wage war against it?
The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for 42 months, which is more or less one term of office for a president.
It opened its mouth to blaspheme God and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven.
It was given power to wage war against God's holy people and to conquer them.
And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation.
All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast, all whose names have not been written in the Lamb's book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.
Whoever has ears, let him hear.
If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity, they will go.
If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword, they will be killed.
This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of God's people.
Seems to me to be saying, I love it when it does that, whoever has ears, let him hear.
That for me is the acknowledgement.
I know this don't make sense.
That's what it's telling you.
This is sort of like a poem.
We're not operating on the ordinary realm of consciousness anymore.
Students of Carl Jung, and I know that those of you that love the great and peculiar mystic will be watching because you'll have been led to him, perhaps by Jordan Peterson, will have noted that his early work was academic, cerebral, and scriptural, textual.
He wrote a lot of stuff, but as he got deeper and deeper into his analysis and his journey, he sort of, one might say, lapsed or perhaps evolved into these kind of peculiar geometric etchings, like he started to draw shapes.
It's as if he's begun to recognize the limitations of language.
For whatever these books suffer in translation from Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic into our common and contemporary tongues is as nothing compared to the translation from the mind of God to the mind of man.
And as a new Christian, one of the things that's been a recent delight is when I'm reading his word, those famed red letter days where you read the word of Christ.
I'm feeling him.
I'm feeling like, that's God.
That's God talking.
That's God talking.
It's good.
Thanks, man.
Thanks, man.
Thanks.
All right, we've got a lot to work out.
Okay, we'll have a quick break now and then we'll be back with the great contributions of this extraordinary group of men that God seems to have thrown into not just my path, but yours by virtue of the fact that you're watching us.
Let's know, watching us right now.
Remember, hydrate yourself to within an inch of your life and get a subscription to try a reborn.
Remember, we are in a holy war.
We're serious about this.
Do you think I care if I'm like ever in another film?
Do you think I care about anything anymore?
Branch of Destiny00:13:13
Do you think I care about anything beyond my children and my wife?
Do you think I don't now realize absolutely that we're all already dead?
That it's over, that in my head I've attended every funeral I need to attend, that I've sat on respirators, that I've lapsed back into the pillow, baptized in the River Thames, dead already.
He is the one who now, well, I don't want to say lives through me because I'm still so broken and fallen, but I just meant to say my ambitions are not like what they used to be.
I'm still crazy though.
All right, let's have a quick advert.
We'll be back in a second.
They can freeze your accounts.
They can shut off your cards, lock you out of your own money overnight.

Welcome to Rumble Wallet.
You sick band of renegade pederists.
I'm only joking.
You're completely innocent until proven guilty.
That's what I was told.
Okay, so, hey, Joe, where you going with that gun in your hand?
Hey, Joe, so what are you saying?
About that little clip.
Well.
Yeah, that's right.
It starts off.
He's talking about safety and that, right?
And it's a little tucker carlson tip.
And he gets to the point at the end where he's like, look, anything's destiny.
Whatever's going to happen is going to happen.
They use fear to control people.
It got me thinking.
Like, I think God gives us like self-will.
And I don't think our destiny is determined necessarily.
It was very thought-provoking for me.
But he knows the outcome.
He knows the outcome.
If he exists outside of time and space, from the beginning of the story, he knew the end of the story.
And whatever's going to happen, we can determine our salvation, I believe.
I think it's there for everyone, but you can reject it if you want.
Anyway, have a look, see what you think.
Before we do, I'll just let you know that I was listening to beloved Father Mike Schmitz's YouTube video from a day or so ago.
And he was talking about Judas and how some people, and I think ain't one of the Gnostic Gospels not included the Gospel of Judas.
And ain't there a kind of a school of thought, I guess, to which Father Mike is responding that says that Judas was somehow sort of doing what he had to do.
Like, and there is a sort of a heartbreaking perspective available of like, oh my God, imagine that Judas loved Jesus so much that he knew he had to do that in order.
But scripture is very clear, as Father Mike points out.
Judas betrayed Jesus for money.
That's the motivation.
And I suppose the reason that the Bible pairs Peter with Judas, i.e.
The last supper two people are condemned, or for at least it is foreseen that they will inverted commas betray our lord is because throughout the Bible there are pairs of at least pairs, but often more brothers, brothers Cain and Abel, Jacob and Esau, Aaron and Moses.
And I wonder sometimes if this is to uh, help us to understand this idea of potentiality around which you're talking now Joe, that you both have free will.
You can, because without free will there's no life at all, because it's already taken place, there's no creation.
If you don't have free will, you don't have life, because your life has already happened before.
It's happened because it's preordained predestined, pre-lived.
It needs to be a volatile live, living protein thing that can at any moment turn anywhere, go anywhere.
Now, my mention of Jung before seems to address at points these ideas, or certainly followers of Jung, notably Urdinger seems to suggest that the story of Job, in all his terrible suffering, foresees that in suffering you're invited to reach a point of condemnation, disavowal and ultimately, blasphemy.
Though Judas says Father Mike, this is Father Mike, not me he goes like Christ would have forgiven Judas, Christ would have forgiven him.
Peter comes back to become saint Peter, there is, says Father Mike no, saint Judas, because Judas doesn't ask for forgiveness.
Judas doesn't ask for forgiveness.
Of course Christ would forgive him.
Of course, the potential for forgiveness in all, even Judias Ascaria, even he whose actions directly leads to the death of God can be forgiven.
So um, it's interesting.
Let's have a look at your, let's have a look at the way that uh, our Tucker talked about it and that's gotten Joe thinking about it.
I would just say something that I know everyone will hate me for, but I think I have the right to say it.
I know I do this obsession with safety, physical safety yeah, be safe, have a safe trip.
I feel like it's a first cousin to narcissism.
You think your life's that important?
You think someone's gonna visit your grave in 100 years, that your name will be known?
Come on dude, get some perspective on yourself.
Everything about us will be forgotten, except by God.
I've seen some crazy stuff happen, absolutely crazy, including life or death stuff, and you're like well, why did this person not die, or why did this person die, or why did I not die or, or whatever.
And then you know that it's all a lie.
There's no such thing as safety.
There's only destiny.
My personal belief is that safety is used to legitimize and leverage control that people won't accept, naked control.
Safety is controls condom, and in fact, that's the perfect metaphor, because that's literally what condoms do provide, you know, be safe, safe sex, etc.
Amazing um, so like, so that you don't have to just tell people we're going to control you, because if we can control you, we can do whatever we want.
You are, in fact, you don't have free will in us.
You don't have the liveness of the creation.
You are a counterfeit in which Lucifer remains god.
In order that that doesn't appall you, because it's your nature to be free and to become who God wants you to be, they tell you you have to wait in this line because it's safety.
You can't go through there because it's safety, and that's why people who love God hate that.
Because you know it's a, it's a geez, like no no, it gives you a la achba energy, don't it?
It gives you like ah, I chop your head off.
And then I chop my head off everyone's heads coming off of this.
Joe, you remember that time mate, when we got stopped down that country lane?
They wouldn't let us go by because a branch was overhanging.
Remember that, yeah.
Yeah, just because there was a branch overhanging in a country, lane like, stop big fucking oh, big drama over it.
You know what I mean.
But like we said to the police, go on.
Yeah, go on.
What I was going to say is, yeah, so like, is your destiny predetermined?
And I can understand why that could easily be used to manipulate people.
But then it's like, well, if you completely trust God, I don't bother looking when I cross the road.
Do you know what I mean?
You can go kind of crazy with it.
I think you can determine your destiny to an extent.
I think that we are, that time is not real and self is not real.
And we are engaged in being about, as our Lord said when he was 12, about our father's business.
We're going to be about our father's business.
If what we're doing is not in alignment with him, if we're not conduits and channels for his great work, then we sort of are already dead.
If the relationships in your life are not going to progress along the lives and paths ordained, be they neurological or ideological, by God, then you're dead already.
If all you're going to do, if you sort of know already, what I'm going to do for the rest of my life is basically what the culture tells me to do, and then I'll teach my kids to do what the culture tells me to do, and then I'll die, then they'll die.
Fingers crossed, it's in that order, then you're dead already.
There's no point in that.
If you say, God, do with me what you will, like the holy mother there, our lady, that's what she demonstrated.
I'm the handmaid of the Lord.
Do with me whatever you want.
I don't have anything, any resistance at all.
And I can live in God's will for sometimes up to 10 to 15 seconds before my own will violently reasserts itself.
I'm like, no, no, I'm scared of that.
No, I want that.
Put that back.
Put that there.
That's all nice now.
And even look, because I've seen 20 seconds.
Yeah.
Yeah, probably 20 seconds.
I was astute.
But like, sort of like, I think what that was like is like that, but we when we are in that state of submission and able to serve him, albeit briefly, indeed, there is a peace available to us in that.
Man, down that country lane, Joe, that day, there was, we were on the way at a crown pub where we used to toil and do our trade.
And believe me, we fought many battles in that 500-year-old building.
That's right, older than your country by a magnitude of two, fellas.
There's what's called a priest hole in the upper floors where priests would hide in the period where Henry VIII was having them all executed for the advent of his exploitation of Protestant values so he could essentially do what he wanted as a monarch.
One day, a branch overhung and we were just on our way to work.
Me and Joe there and the old Bill were in the street and they had a car there pulled over and maybe there was some tape and some cones and we're like, oh, we work over there.
And they're like, oh, yeah, there's a branch coming.
And I go, well, ain't it really just your duty to say there's a branch there and then it up to us whether or not we are willing to take that risk of that branch.
And we'll decide for ourselves whether we're, some people will turn back, some people will go forward.
Some people will take a vaccine, some people won't take a vaccine.
Like it's like, ain't it up to us?
No, because of safety.
Well, what, right?
Oh, because your safety could affect other people's safety.
They'll use any kind of little diligent skullduggery and trickery they can in order to piece together the jigsaw that always leads back to.
So that's why we're in charge, right?
Notice it always leads there.
It never leads anywhere else.
So like, I remember a moment, Joe, where one of the police officers was a bit like he enjoyed his uniform a bit.
And like, and I think afterwards in the car, Joe said, I felt like I could have reacted to him in a way that was non-verbal, let's say.
And I said, it's mad, isn't it, that if you were to respond in a way that was non-verbal, we know how that would unfurl and where that would lead.
Institutionalization, incarceration, all of that.
The authority that that police officer has, if you sort of pull the string back to where it actually started from, it only comes from other people beating other people into submission.
At some point in history, someone beat up enough people to go, and here is our badge.
You know, specifically, the royal family comes from various tribes in Saxony.
To be specific, the Peelers, as they were initially known, set up by Sir Robert Peel, were set up as a sort of a counter-terrorist group to control like other gangs that were in London.
They were themselves a kind of gang.
And over time, they realised, well, why don't we just give these a lot of badge and a certificate?
And now we can do what we want.
And that's what we all live in now.
And as I've said before on this show, The Gangs of New York by Maya Sculese is such a brilliant depiction of that because you see that in the initial sort of crucible, they're all just bacteria.
And one set of bacteria goes and becomes the fire service, the police service, some sort of department for this or that.
And some of them just stay gangs.
And like, you know, they have to all come to alliances.
And I suppose that what we advocate for politically is this, that why would you grant authority to anything other than God?
So unless the government is willing to be the government depicted in Romans here, a government that's like, we are doing that because of God.
Because we know God thinks life is sacred, wants us to look after our most vulnerable, wants us to protect the weak, look after the widows and the orphans, that we should share and be kind, give up all your possessions and follow me.
Yeah, because we know that, that's how we work as a government.
Thank You Much00:01:01
The minute they're not doing that, fuck off.
That's my position when it comes to Romans 13.
I'll probably give them a little less largesse than some because the life I've had has shown me do not trust authority.
That's just been the experience that I've had.
And possibly, therefore, it could at some point be amended because I've been wrong about a lot of things a lot of times for a lot of years.
But that's what I've got to say on that matter.
And I think we've done our jobs now.
Thank you very much for joining us today.
We will be back on Monday.
Not for more of the same, but for more of the different.
And more of the different in this instance will include our show, Crack On, where we talk about our sexy little struggles with that old devil called addiction.
