Media HIDES THE TRUTH About the New York Terror Attack as Mexico Faces Violent Upheaval — SF690
Russel Brand and guests dissect a failed ISIS-inspired attack in New York near Mayor Zohran Mamdani's home, criticizing media framing and political agitation. They analyze the chaos following cartel leader El Mencho's execution, which triggered violent reprisals across Mexico ahead of the World Cup, alongside controversies involving feminists defacing crosses at La Compaña church. The discussion contrasts this modern volatility with 1990s America, ultimately suggesting that societal decay stems from secular institutions and a departure from traditional values.

Ladies and gentlemen, Russell Francis Russell trying to bring real journalism to the American people.
Oh no, no, Jake!
Oh no!
Hey, thanks for joining us, you Awakening Wonders.
I'm still alive.
Jake's still alive, although one might think from his lack of dexterity that he's long dead.
Jake's been amusing himself by going to, I think it's officially known as a ladies' fitness center for ladies, for simple for women that want to stay fit, pelvic floor exercises, things like that.
It's clearly not giving him the necessary control over his hands or upper body.
But what have I, how can I even dare to speak on such matters when I myself have been pronounced dead by Dan Bongino, I think.
The original post, there won't be another one of these.
Saddest Damiel, he was just different.
Dan Bongino, he's selected.
I'll put it back up, Joe.
He selected that.
He selected it like, look at that photo.
That phone looks like he's talking about me.
Of course, he's talking about God.
God rest the eternal soul of beloved Charlie Kirk there.
But yeah, I'm very central in that image.
And yeah, there we go.
I hope that Dan Borgino was more circumspect when he was looking at their Mepstein files.
Not just glancing.
Oh, this one seems all right.
They all seem okay.
Dan Bongino back on Rumble.
Any members of the Bongino army in the chat, let us know.
And I can tell you that I am alive.
I'm kicking.
I'm baptizing.
Over the course of the show today, we're going to be talking about the New York City terror attack.
I call it the irony terror attack.
In the next couple of days, we're also talking about events in Mexico.
We're going to be talking about our returning lord.
We're talking about the collapse of Hollywood.
We're talking about the war in Iran so much to talk about.
With me, as always, is my friend Dave Fields over there.
Dave, are you feeling okay?
Doing great.
Yeah, you're focused.
Yeah.
Feeling good.
Feeling good.
And you, Jake, you keep complaining that your exercise regimen at the ladies' gym's shattering.
It's a legit gym.
You only come on cardio days.
That's because I'm too busy with men's exercise the rest of the week.
Brazilian jiu-jitsu, wrestling with men in my trunks.
I'm with the great Joe McCann, one of the finest journalists, HGV riders, and close protectors on those islands.
You looking well, mate?
You okay?
Yes, mate.
I'm good.
Your recovery all right?
Yeah, it's kind of all right, mate.
Ups and downs.
You're getting food this week, I?
Well, don't, you look good.
Your skin looks good.
You know, is anyone in your vengeance sights?
Does anyone need avenging?
Good, good.
That's always good.
Sometimes old joke sets someone in his sights.
You all saw the footage of him clearing away that paparazzi when I was entering my not guilty plea the other day.
And here we have, straight from Iran, refugee of every land he ever visits, is our friend Massey.
Are you all right, mate?
Good, mate.
How you doing?
Yeah, I'm bad.
I feel pretty good.
I feel pretty good, you know, just dealing with some legal situations, but nothing I can't handle with the holy hand of the Lord upon my shoulder.
I was with our friend Sean Foyt.
What a guy.
And I was baptising some folks.
I've not seen this footage yet.
Jake, did you cut it or did Massey cut it?
Make Massey cut it.
You better hope I didn't cut it.
Yeah, we can't rely on you.
Massey, two minutes and 48 seconds.
I'll put it on.
Let's see what it is.
This is me baptising some people.
We're going to be reviewing all the news that's fit the print.
Why is it we see the world the way we do when it comes to matters like terror across New York City?
When it comes to the collapse of democracy, when it comes to endless wars and potential Armageddon, why are we living in the world we're living in?
Also, that's well funny, that thing that that guy did about our Tommy interview.
Let's know in the comments and chat if you saw that.
Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, Tommy Robinson interview.
Here I am, baptising like it's 1999.
If you want to do it, you do it.
It's the Lord's work.
Don't get upset because I'm doing the Lord's work.
Okay, Lord's work.
Lord's work.
This is the Lord's work.
I used to call these middle bits Russell Rhodes.
More Lord's works.
Like this special.
They are Russell's.
Like they made them for you.
Yeah, straight down the middle.
That's nice.
Easily.
They have them in the UK or are they only here?
They have them in Los Angeles, right down Sunset Boulevard.
I used to do it.
It was bold, man.
It was bold.
But it's so satisfying.
You feel like a time traveller.
So I'm on my way to baptise some people with Sean Foyt, my friend, the musician.
And I say very much, he's like, if you're going to do a live-action version of The Wizard of Oz, where the lion was played by a handsome guy, get Sean Foyt to do it.
Handsome guy.
Very good musician.
We'll be baptising the living heck out of people in a minute.
I ain't been a Christian very long.
I was baptized myself in the River Thames on the 28th of April 2023.
And I've been clean and sober from drug and alcohol dependency for 23 years now, one day at a time.
Sometimes I fall once more into the Luciferian snares of self, of thinking what I want and what I need and what I think is somehow important.
But then my Saviour, my Lord, the firstborn among the dead, reminds me that through the covenant of his blood I'm saved.
By faith alone, I receive his grace, not by works or anything that I've achieved or could achieve.
All rags before him.
I have been cleansed.
I have lived among worthless and wretched people.
And I have spoken with wretched and worthless lips.
But by his eternal power, I know what it is to be holy, holy, holy.
I know what it is to be cleansed and renewed.
It's beautiful.
It's very, very beautiful.
It's a long way away to Pentacola, but it was very lovely to see the sincerity.
And yeah, that Brownsville church was very important in the 90s revival.
What it makes me feel like is that there's a real obligation.
Well, like when our Lord says to Peter, feed my sheep.
You know, them three times Carl without feeding my sheep stuff.
It's a serious obligation to make sure people are getting fed and looked after.
It's no small thing to bring people into the kingdom.
We're all a lovely bunch of baptised Christians on our way to get like a little bit of steak and a little bit of pasta.
I think, well, you know, good job of cutting that, Massey, because that was shot by our friend Sam.
And with the best will in the world, Sam's not a professional.
I mean, he was like he was going out of his way to miss the best bits of it.
Great work, Massey.
Thanks for cutting that together.
If you want to get baptized by us, you know where we are.
Come.
And if you ain't been baptized yet, get baptized now.
If you ain't been baptized, it's not just like you're drowning.
You're dead.
You're dead.
The same as when I'm on heroin.
I'm not participating in reality probably because of the heroin.
Or say if you're using pornography as the thing you're clinging to or chocolate or alcohol or beliefs in any of this worldliness.
Terrorists or People00:15:18
Let it go.
None of it's ever going to work for you.
It's an illusion.
It's an illusion.
Come to the Lord.
Quick smart, why don't you?
While there's still time.
Otherwise, you might find yourself believing in crazy stuff, like, for example, the ideologies of the political class that want you in a constant quarrel.
One of the main fronts of the culture war has been New York.
Many people hoping that the election of Mayor Mamdani would create a new socialist utopia.
Let me know in the comments and chat.
Were you anticipating a new socialist utopia in New York City?
Do you think it's important that a country like America has representatives from the left, from the right, from Islam, from a variety of sexualities?
Let me know what you think about that.
Let's see how it's going.
This is what our man Mamdami says about that little moment, which seemed like it was sort of scripted by the gods of irony, if you want to believe in pagan things like irony and multiple gods, to highlight the ludicrousness of a protest around tolerance.
I think that's what it was, wasn't it?
Then someone ran by Alo, Alo Akbaring like there was no tomorrow.
He was alo akbaring like the clappers.
I mean, you may, does free speech mean the right to say ala akbar on an aeroplane?
Try it.
Here's what Mayor Zoran Kwame Mamdani said.
Yesterday, white supremacist Jake Lang, let's make sure that Izzy organized the process.
If you're a white supremacist, your belief system is white people are superior and supreme to all other races.
I don't think I've ever met anyone who thinks that.
And here's some people I've met.
Donald Trump, Tommy Tommy, Tommy Tommy Robinson.
Trying to think.
People said Charlie Kirk was a white supremacist, didn't they?
I don't believe that.
I hope no one believes in that.
It's stupid.
It's as stupid as believing that black people are supreme or Chinese people are supreme or people that have got like different birthmarks.
Pigment is not a basis for supremacy.
Anyone who thinks that is stupid.
You don't even know which colour they're talking about.
You don't need to know.
A protest outside Gracie Mansion rooted in bigotry and racism.
I would say that what our man Mamdani's already said is itself bigoted because he's presuming that to know the ideology of everyone that's there.
Such hate has no place in New York City.
It's meant to be a diverse place.
Gotta have a little bit of hate, otherwise it's not full spectrum.
It's an affront to our city's values.
And it's so funny, isn't it?
People say something like New York, think of all the things that have happened in New York, like 9-11 has happened, just casual gangsterism, outbreak of AIDS, any mugging you've ever experienced.
There's no room for it.
It's just what this is is called empty rhetoric.
We're all so used to hearing it, we don't even question it.
You don't expect someone that's the mayor of New York City to say anything that means anything.
Just want a slew of empty language.
And with Mamdani, it looks like you'll get it.
What followed is even more disturbing.
Violence, protest is never acceptable.
The attempt to use an explosive device and hurt others is not only criminal, we all know that, it's reprehensible.
That's funny, because once I think it's criminal, that don't matter anymore.
It's also in poor taste.
It's also gay.
Like, man, once it's criminal, you can say...
And it's the antithesis of who we are.
Oh, no, no, no.
You've not understood the word antithesis.
I want to thank the brave men and women and trans people of the NYPD who acted quickly to keep, just says men and women there.
It might as well have said people.
You've slipped up there, Zohan.
So around.
The attempt to use the brave people of the NYPD who acted quickly to keep New Yorkers safe.
Our officers ran toward danger without hesitation, demonstrating once again the courage and dedication it takes to protect the city every single day.
My administration is closely monitoring the situation and I remain in close contact with our police commissioner.
Well, that's the minimum you can do, mate.
You're the mayor.
You don't get a brownie for that idea.
That's the minimum as mayor.
I'm not going to switch my phone off for the next 24 hours.
I'm not binging on box sets and I'm staying away from six flags.
That's the least you can do, my man.
The very least you can do.
And that looks to be the political standard we're all adhering to.
Let's have a look at that event in earnest so that we can understand it because I've never watched it except for I see someone.
Just like something you'd see in a schoolyard.
Like, ah!
Just mad chaos.
An ISIS-inspired terror attack in New York City this weekend.
Two men hurling IEDs into a crowd just steps away from the mayor's mansion.
Why has the mayor even got a mansion if it's meant to be like he's a communist?
The devices were packed with a highly volatile explosive component, better known as the mother of Satan.
A favorite in global terror.
Better known as that.
It's better known as that.
That's not practical.
That's what I know it as.
Can we get two mother of Satan's, please?
Oh, easy.
I'll take...
No, just one and a half mothers of Satan.
It's not even a catchy name.
Who is the mother of Satan?
Interesting question.
It's got to be God, really.
I mean, I don't know where's Satan coming from?
He was alright at first.
He really let himself go.
A favorite in global terror attacks.
It's hard to detect, powerful, and extremely unstable.
Luckily, it failed.
The bombs didn't detonate and no one was killed.
But it's clear the plan was mass casualties.
The suspects, Amir Ballet and Ibrahim Kayoumi, have opened.
I'm just going to say those names slowly for emphasis.
Ibrahim.
Oh, where'd that guy come from?
And Mehmet.
Oh, interesting.
AKA, Terrican, guys.
May as well have been called Captain Saddam Hussein ISIS.
Like, I mean, yeah, them lads.
Well, a couple of soppy little sods, really.
It's a shame we've all got caught up in all these ideologies, isn't it, really?
Because to me, they look like a couple of little twerps.
A couple of little twerps in need of a good Joe McCann clotheslining or a stiff arm opened palm strike, I'd say.
Openly pledged allegiance to ISIS.
When one was asked whether he was trying to stage something like the Boston Marathon bombing, he responded no, even bigger.
Later, he put it in writing.
He requested paper and wrote a message declaring in part, I pledge my allegiance to the Islamic State.
Die in your rage, you kufar.
Now, die in your rage is a commonly known ISIS slogan.
And kufar is an Arabic term that refers to non-believers.
Oh, dear, oh dear.
Come on, Massey.
What are you saying?
I love that when the Americans use missiles, they're called things like Native American stuff, like Tomahawk missiles and fury and all this.
But then a second Saul makes an IED, it's called the mother of Satan, like the complete opposite of it.
Yeah, it's a dumb name for a missile.
It's a real silly terrorist attack, if you ask me.
Of course, people could have been hurt, but the whole thing, I reckon, is like most news stories now, so omni-lacquered with bigotry and prejudice from every conceivable side that detecting the truth amidst this spray down of propaganda, it's becomes sort of almost impossible.
I mean, the people that Mamdani calls white supremacists are probably just patriotic.
The people that Fox News call terrorists are bloody idiots.
I mean, you know, in my day, them terrorists, they was good gear.
Like on 7-7, like in the UK, they're blowing up buses.
Then there's them lads from 9-11.
I mean, say what we like about them.
They knew how to take down a tower, or did they?
Did it take considerable CIA intervention for these poor shoddy pilots to hit the targets that seemed unlikely?
Okay, this might be the most liberal moment in history, say some.
Someone yells, everyone is welcome, while an Islamic terrorist who isn't from New York throws a bomb over his shoulder.
Let's have a look at this particular moment.
We were born and raised in New York, and we want everyone here to stay in New York.
You don't get to come from outside and then tell everyone else.
Oh dear, I feel a bit sorry for that fella because he is well-intentioned.
And I suppose the problem really is the outsourcing of compassion and kindness.
When you get, let's say, bellicose individuals in positions of authority, I'm thinking here of Pete Hegseff, who is militant, but given that he is, isn't he, like the Minister of War, didn't they just change the names to make it more explicit?
You know, that guy is a soldier.
He's clearly the type of personality that the world we live in these days requires if you're going to have something called a ministry of war that gives 50% of its funding there or thereabouts to companies like Norfolk Grumman and Boeing.
You know, I'm talking about hard lobbying weapons and military equipment manufacturing companies.
If you're going to have this kind of setup, then you're going to get Pete Hegseff, I reckon, who I've never met, but I bet he's probably quite personable, pretty cool, and but, you know, bellicose is the word I've used, inclined towards violence, or certainly not afraid of violence, but he's the head of the Ministry of War.
There's this sort of, I suppose, surfeit and requirement for compassion that's getting dealt with, I would say, in a rootless way.
In the previous administration, there were the sort of visible spectacles of outrageous individuals.
Like I'm thinking about that trans person that used to wear a lot of lipstick that had a shaved head, or that tubby lass that was also trans, that was the head of like the health department.
I'm just remembering some of the bizarre appointments and bizarre individuals.
Remember, there was that lad, lass, whatever, with the lipstick on and the shaved bunts who was like nicking suitcases and rooting through them.
That's really crazy sort of peculiar individuals crop up in that administration.
And I think that what happens, if I may say, is if you outsource Christ, then you end up with odd, rootless expressions of compassion.
That man there with the loud hailer saying everyone is welcome in New York.
Well, what does it mean when our Lord says, the kingdom of heaven is for everyone?
I'm calling sinners.
It's not well people who need doctors.
It's people that are messed up.
It's people that are broken that need help and love.
I'm so glad that we have a God that reaches out to the broken and vulnerable.
But when you displace from his throne Christ and replace it with rationalism, materialism, wokeism, deracinated, desiccated systems of compassion, what you end up with is spectacle.
By spectacle, I mean the appearance of things without substance.
Nothing could be more ridiculous than all sides gleeful about a gangly teenage Arab boy tossing a pointless, if glamorously named bomb over the shoulder of a well-meaning ninny.
That's basically the news these days, man.
While there are real wars happening, actual wars where real people in significant numbers are going to die.
And if scripture is to be believed, as well as the obvious trends that we're all observing, we ain't seen nothing yet.
Cataclysm is coming.
We all feel it.
We all know, don't we, what the Epstein files represent.
It's a sense that, well, I heard someone say the other day, they've just told us, it was Kyle actually, they've told us there's all these paedophiles, they're like murdering and having sex with children and they're in positions of power.
Let's see if they'll just take that.
And look, we have done.
We have done.
We're just like, oh, yeah, cool.
Paedophiles is it?
sacrificing children and run the country.
Crack on, do you need to...
How much shall I pay my taxes?
How much do you need?
Would you give us a little bit back?
Man, this is a time for mass disobedience, mass, mass disobedience and serious change.
Here, though, is a bit of focus on devices thrown outside Ma'am Danny's mansion.
Look, Ma'am Danny having a mansion.
Any serious communist mayor, day one, keep your mansion.
I'll kip out here in the streets with my brethren.
That's what old Russ would say if I was going to be a communist mayor.
As a Christian mayor, I'm like, I'll sleep out here in the vicarage.
I'll be out here in the vicarage with my kids.
With my kids and my missus.
A mansion's okay, right?
Oh, you like a mansion?
Well, yeah, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with a mansion.
I'm saying there's something wrong with a communist in a mansion because what should also be in that commune, well, it should be a communist.
It should be loads of people in the mansion.
If you're a communist, no, if you're not a communist, then you don't have at least the hypocrisy.
The slipped mask is what hypocrisy means.
Or the double mask.
Anti-Islam protest.
Reality, the explosive devices were thrown at anti-Islam protesters by radical Muslim jihadists.
Oh, bless them.
Alu Akbar.
You would never know that from the legacy media headlines.
Yeah, well, they look like a couple of little twerps.
It's not optional.
Often I see a terrorist attack on the news and think, I'll handle this myself.
I'll handle that myself.
I wouldn't even, I wouldn't trouble Joe with that.
I won't go, here, Joe.
Joe.
Would you?
Because they seem like terrorists.
I think, no, I'll stay, stay low.
Stay low.
Control the distance.
Shoot!
Brownabank out!
Out!
Night night!
Night night, you little fucker!
1990!
Say hello, you 72 virgins, bitch!
There's a down payment on the afterlife, motherfucker.
Some of them, though, sometimes you see a terrorist attack.
Like, let's, you know, some of you think, oh, no, no, that's not my department.
I'll hang back for that one.
Would you mind?
I'll be back here.
I'll prepare you a snack for after.
We'll just be buttering up the picnic.
All right, so let's have a look.
What the Guardian says?
Guardian makes it look like it was a z-uh.
That's so good.
Explosive device thrown outside of Zorhan Mamdani Resin at anti-Islam protests.
Very good.
Two men in custody with connections after anti-zero.
That is excellent work.
In a fact, just look at that.
That's so good.
I didn't have high hopes when I saw that.
But this is excellent because whoever's written that has gone out of their way to make it look like it's an anti-Islam device show.
The story they want to tell you is that the anti-Islam protest is connected to the devices.
And in the most tangential, yeah, I suppose and also literal sense, they are.
But that is not a good way.
If your job is, think about what a newspaper's job is, is to give you information.
It's media.
Do you know what the word media means?
Understanding Media's Real Job00:03:14
It means it's between you and the people that are talking.
So what they should do is give you information that's as easy to understand as possible.
Sometimes when I use long words, I think, oh gosh, am I not doing my job properly?
But I'm not really, you know, trying to be media.
I'm just trying to pass the time, tell you the truth, while we're here.
We're in exile.
We're in exile.
This isn't even where we belong.
But like proper media would go would want you to understand what happened.
No one wants you to understand what happened anymore.
No one wants you to understand what happened.
They want to put an impression on you.
And most of the time it isn't real.
Most of the time it's not real.
I don't know what we do about that.
I do know what we do.
We decentralize.
You trust the people around you.
You don't get involved in all this bullshit.
What's that bit in Thessalonians?
How about you like it, Jake?
Where Peter, oh no, where Paul goes, just work with your hands.
Get out of all these bollocks.
Don't he?
Like, there's a bit where, like, think of everything Paul's gone through to end up saying, just go and get a job, make stuff.
And work peaceably.
Live peaceably.
Just do the regular thing.
I'll tell you what, I've learned so much from you, Lot.
What's good about living around here with the likes of Dave and Jake?
I say the likes as if they were sort of a rich genre rather than very peculiar individuals, is people are living in Christ and living as Christians, and you see it and you feel it.
It just means, be it, they're kind, kind, strong people.
It's not like, it's not what you would think if you were like, I know, from Essex or like beloved Joe there, I think, to front it out still in the UK.
You've got to get you out of here.
God, get me out of here, mate.
It's getting dark here.
It's not right.
I'd like to go buy on one of them helicopters, like a Chinook or whatever, like just lower like a ladder over Joe's roof.
And then that ladder you live with who's probably banging up in his bedroom right now.
No offense, mate.
If you're not, I'm not judging.
He'd try and scamper up there, like Joe's scaggy roommate.
Get the fuck off that ladder.
That scene in Batman where they drop the hook.
You know what I'm talking about?
Rich Batman.
are we talking pale yeah there's a it's like a plane flies by with a like a hook on it Just who gets on that hook?
Batman.
Batman and the guy that he takes from China.
Oh, yeah.
You know what I'm talking about?
Like the baddie in the first Batman.
Was that 89?
No, that one 89.
Was it?
No, this one's the Christian Bale one.
I was thinking of a different.
Yeah, they put the, you got to have oxygen.
We'll work it out.
Are you talking about that one?
Oh, who was the bad guy?
Oh, that was Joker.
That was, that was.
No, that's Michael Keaton, Batman.
It's Christian Bale.
It's the Joker.
And they got to go get the guy who's in charge of the money in China.
And the only way to get to him, it's like a plane comes.
They both put a mask on and then just hooks him up.
They're building Batman.
That's the 2010 one.
Yeah, like around there.
Oh, well, they kidnapped the blake from the skyscraper.
Yeah, I remember that.
Oh, I love that shit.
What about when they nick that plane in midair?
Yeah, that's so cool.
That's good about it.
Oh, that's so cool.
Good old bombers.
You could do that to get Joe out of England.
Batman, Joker, and Money00:03:53
We've got to get Joe out of Reading quick.
Send that for you.
Yeah.
If anybody knows that.
Sounds good.
Let's do it.
We've got to get him out of here.
We've got to get him out of here.
The fella's a refugee.
There's no question about it.
Oh, man.
I'm so angry about that thing.
That guardian.
I'm not angry about that guardian thing.
I feel vindicated by the way they report news.
CNN forced to retract its initial reporting on the instant.
Imagine this framing on 9-11.
19 Saudi Arabian men boarded a flight for what could have been an enjoyable holiday.
Did you write that?
It's funny.
What's this?
This lad.
Two Pennsylvanian teenagers crossed into New York Saturday morning for what could have been a normal day enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather.
But in less than an hour, their lives will be drastically changed as the pair will be arrested for throwing homemade bombs during an anti-Muslim protest outside of Mir Zorhan Mamdani's home.
Here's what we know so far.
A post regarding two individuals arrested for throwing homemade bombs outside failed to reflect the gravity of the incident, thereby breaching the editorial standards.
Oh my gosh, we don't have any editorial standards.
You know, like the macro is, do you know, like, look, I'm starting to get this kind of perspective now.
Tell me, please, beloved Rumble community, members of Rumble Premium, if you don't have Rumble Premium yet, get Rumble Premium now.
And if you're watching this anywhere other than Rumble, join us over here where we can talk freely.
But it's all being engineered.
That there's a set of interests that want Zorhan Mamdani to be mayor precisely because it will agitate people.
We can't have a Muslim mayor in the city where 9-11 went down.
And then the very same interests consider it to be of benefit to allow Trump to be president for a time.
I'm increasingly thinking that they have, well, like Christ says, well, no, Christ doesn't say this.
It's actually the opposite of Christ.
It's the devil.
But Christ doesn't repudiate or refute it.
The evil one says to Christ, I have authority over this world and I can give it to anyone I want to.
Anyone.
If I want to, I'll choose some nice.
You know, we're giving it to a trans person for a while.
See what that does.
Let's give a Muslim person a go.
Let's give this nationalist white person a go.
They're all fighting.
Look at them fighting like ants in a jar.
You think it's enough to have beaten one of the other ants?
You're fools.
You're fools.
And we're all down here.
Poor little sods, ants in a jar.
But there is a way out of the jar, and you know what it is.
It's the way described here.
The only way out is in, as I used to say in the countercultural revolution in your country and the 60s.
Within you, there is a portal to the kingdom of Christ.
He's there now.
He's with you now.
What I didn't understand prior to coming to him is the kind of psychedelic solutions that I literally sought through hallucinogenic drugs.
The kind of new age solutions that I literally sought through reading mystical books and visiting India and speaking to many great gurus.
The kind of solutions I sought by trying to understand politics and anti-establishment politics by reading the irony.
Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, Slavoj Zizhek, Karl Marx is all available to you in Christ.
Like it says in there too, there's nothing new under the sun, says a bemoaned, beleaguered and weary Solomon.
But Christ is coming and Christ did come and he is the solution.
That's why all over the world people are turning to the church, in particular Generation Z. That's why there's a renewed interest in Christianity because for whatever reason people are starting to see now that these institutions are failed and failing.
That reason divorced from divinity will always lead to selfishness and that's the kingdom that we live in.
The devil himself in the temptations uses reason and scripture, doesn't he?
But nothing will happen to you if you jump off the high temple.
Angels will come.
Reason Divorced from Divinity00:05:27
You won't even bruise a toe.
It's the kind of tone that you encounter among the cadres and the occupants of the expert class, the aristocracy.
That's what aristocracy means.
The expert class.
That kind of supercilious haughtiness.
You know, too about the hollowed out and empty bureaucracies that we live within.
Godless, empty, rationalism, divorced from the sublime and the divine.
Let us bring them together again.
We refute and repudiate all these demonic forces, both internal and cultural, and we welcome you, Jesus Christ, back home.
We're preparing your throne.
We're making straight the ways, Lord.
Even though we know you don't need us.
Thanks for creating us.
But that's just what I think.
And, you know, it's in the Bible as well.
Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
We're going to have a quick word from one of our partners over here.
And then we'll do just exactly as we please in the holy name of God.
See you in a second.
Censorship is back and it's happening everywhere.
Platforms are controlling narratives and pushing the stuff they want us to see.
We've got to fight back.
Rumble is the only company that stood the test of time and they deserve our support.
On one side, Rumble is challenging big tech censorship.
But now on the other side, they've introduced something that will give us protection from big banks shutting us off.
Banks can cancel our accounts, freeze our cards.
So that's why we've launched Rumble Wallet.
A wallet no one can cancel and a wallet that supporters can use to instantly tip creators like old Russ without any middlemen taking cuts.
I don't want no middleman taking a cut of my Rumble wallet.
Give us some money.
Give us it.
Give us it now.
You can buy and save digital assets like Bitcoin and Tether Gold in one place.
Tether Gold is real gold on the blockchain with ownership of physical gold bars.
I like the sound of that.
It's a digital currency and it's gold.
That's Joe all over.
It's not only a wallet to buy and save.
It also allows you to support your favorite creators by easily tipping them with a click of a button.
There'll be no fees when you tip my channel or others and we actually receive the tip instantly, unlike other platforms where we have to wait for payouts.

I don't know if you can see that still of my face on the screen, Jake.
Do you like it?
I used to do that expression a lot more as a younger man because I had a lot of sex then.
Now, I seldom, I seldom do that face anymore.
Ooh, it's happened again.
It's happening again.
Okay.
Now, often I wonder what's going to...
No, before we get to Polymarket, and Lord alone knows we always must, because Polymarket, they're good folks.
Let's have a look at this.
Just round off that story.
The violence on Saturday erupted during an anti-Islam protest organized by a right-wing provocado that was dwarfed by a crowd of more than 100 counter-protesters, officials said, it's like ball propaganda.
The men arrived in the city by crossing the George Washington Bridge roughly an hour later.
They were arrested after devices were thrown.
Funny, funny, funny.
Ephesians 6.11, is this full armor?
Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.
Why, Jake?
Why?
Why not?
Why not?
We got to be prepared.
Me and my wife had a good conversation the other day, mate.
She give it to me.
You know, in a conversation I'm talking, she just flattened me right out.
You know, when you think you're going to have a conversation with your wife and you think, sometimes I think I'm going to win the conversation.
Not that conversations are meant to be competitions, but I see them that way.
And she really won the conversation with some good.
I've stood firm, she said to me.
I've stood firm.
I thought, well, you best shut up, old Russ.
This is the time for you to shut up.
It's good, though.
It's good to know that you don't know much.
It's good to know you don't know much, isn't it?
Who wants to feel like you know everything?
I don't feel like I know anything anymore.
I think I might be on the edge of completely letting go, by the way.
Do it.
Completely let go.
All right.
Completely let go of what?
Trying to control reality.
Okay.
Yeah.
Cool.
Yeah.
Let go of that.
Yeah.
I'll do it.
Don't let go of like what will happen to us, Jake?
Of good things.
God will be in charge and then it's all going to be fine.
Joe, you in?
What could go wrong?
Sounds like a good plan, mate.
I think I'm going to do the same.
Come on, let's all let go completely, Massey.
If I'm not in control, then who is?
Oh, God.
He's an atheist.
Right.
Now, will there be a ceasefire?
I'm not paying attention to this war because I find was a bit distressing.
I don't mean that in a disrespectful way to people that are directly affected and involved and dying.
I just sort of see it all as an inevitable unfolding of events we've been talking about in a more general way and a sort of a concentration of horror.
So, um, but nevertheless, Polymarket, they've got some views.
Uh, like, when is it going to happen, the ceasefire?
I don't know.
I can't tell.
I don't know.
But what I do know is Polymarket is a good way of aggregating data.
Arsenal vs West Ham Rules00:02:55
And the UAF Champions League winner.
Oh, well, a lot of people are saying Arsenal, Joe.
Andrew Jones calls Arsenal.
You may not have been a good one.
We're playing tonight.
Who you got?
I don't know what the score is.
Let me check quick.
Fuck full-time.
We drew one or by Labour Cousin.
Away.
First leg.
All right.
What round are you in?
We're in the knockout stage.
So is it quarters or last 16?
It looks like if that's all of them, hold on, that's not 16 teams.
So some of them, they've not listed them all like Labour Cousins.
Yeah, you're right, it's last 16, Joe.
Last 16, yeah.
Where's West Ham?
Well, West Ham are not allowed to play in the UA for Champions League because they don't qualify under the term champion, which would mean that either you're top three or sometimes top four places in the English league or you've won a cup and there's been some skullduggery that's means you're not.
So never happened, never happened.
West Ham are not allowed to do that.
Never in the history.
We won the European Cup Winners' Cup in the late 60s.
We won a minor European trophy about five years ago, which was the last time West Ham won a trophy.
It did galvanise West Ham.
Declan Rice, the then captain of West Ham, went to Arsenal on the back of that victory with the blessing of most West Ham fans.
So this is the elite of Europe that participate in this tournament.
And it looks like, you know, people are saying Arsenal might win it, even though Arsenal haven't won the league since, is it 20 years since Arsenal have won the league?
Is it more than that?
It's been over 20 years now, 22 years, I think.
Wow.
21, 22 years, something like that.
21.
United's domination then went into sort of Chelsea domination.
And yeah, Arsenal, like for a while, like under Venger.
So under Venga, is that 21?
That can't be 20 years ago that Venger did.
2004-2005 season, wasn't it?
That's the last time.
My word.
The last time we usually wins.
Who's won the most?
Chelsea?
Man United and Liverpool have won the most top flight titles, isn't it, Joe?
Man United and Love have won a fair few now.
When it comes to the EPL, City have won more, but the EPL is a sort of a you know, sort of a kind of new league, kinda.
But but and they haven't like collected in total, City kind of won more than eight or nine.
And I think both United and Liverpool have won 15, 20-ish, have they?
I don't know.
I don't know these figures.
But like, in any event, the sort of hegemony of those teams is being challenged to some degree by Arsenal this year.
But as you can see, City may yet win the domestic title.
So, you know, there's a because we live in a different type of continent to you, lot, where you only play sports that only you play, and then say you're the best in the world here.
We're the best in the world at this sport that only we understand.
Basing ball, basketing ball, football where you pick it up.
Football Hegemony Challenged00:15:12
We're the best in the world.
Do any other countries play it?
No.
They do.
Oh, what?
Spain.
The World Baseball Classic.
I told you to watch it.
You showed me a clip of it, and it was in.
I didn't even know we played baseball, the English.
I didn't know we knew.
That's round us.
We don't even call it that.
That's a good thing.
Like, the energy was good.
They put on a red coat, the British, and they lost.
Well, it sounds like it's got historical precedent.
And I can see why you would enjoy playing sports against us that we don't acknowledge as real pastimes.
I can see why you would do that.
But I'm offended.
I'm offended and I'm angry.
Offended and angry.
Look, should we cover this thing in Mexico?
Can I do that in 10 minutes?
Of course I can.
I think we should get off of YouTube.
We're leaving you, YouTube.
And until you stop shadow banning our content, we won't be back.
Take it, my man.
We've had just about enough of all this.
Mexico, Mexico, Mexico.
Once I went to Mexico with Katy Perry, I was paid to go there to go to different holiday resorts in order to promote Mexico.
That wouldn't happen now for a number of reasons.
Not least that what he's called something like, he's got the most racist name.
He's called something like El Head Honcho.
Their gang leader, Elhead Honcho, has been executed and all Mexico has gone wrong.
It's gone all explosive and crazy and mad.
And it seems like if you were on holiday there in like Cancun or something trying to have a good old time, you'd be in serious, serious strife.
Let's have a look at it from a peculiar perspective.
I sometimes like to think that Mexico and the south of your country carries a lot of unconscious energy, a lot of repressed energy.
Let me know what you think about that crazy little theory.
And let's try and analyze this by looking at legacy media and see what's going on.
And we'll turn to some of our great friends in understanding it.
Remember, if you ain't got Rumble Premium yet, get Rumble Premium now.
And I'm going to show you that Methylene Blue works.
Watch this.
Watch how different I am in 10 minutes time from how I am now.
Ah.
You've got to be careful with it though, because you don't want it on the old Nash's.
That I will tell you.
I was out with my boy yesterday, took him down the beach.
He wanted a blue ice cream.
I didn't feel good about it because you never feel good about giving them stuff with load of food dyes in it.
You know, you're basically poisoning them.
But you're not strong enough to argue him, if you're me.
So he wanted it, and he's so cute.
He's only two.
Daddy, ice cream blue like Mabel.
He wanted a blue ice cream.
Carry me around.
That blue ice cream.
You give a kid an ice cream.
It's a nightmare.
They don't know how to manage it.
They don't lick around the edges or nothing.
They let it get all over you.
For too long, you're all covered in blue everywhere.
And people think it's cute when they walk past you, but then I have to put them on a car roof somewhere, just like I'm walking along, clean my own hands.
I don't much like being sticky.
I've never really liked that.
Covered in all blue ice cream.
He's covered in blue.
And I did think, nah, like methylene blue.
That's baby's methylene blue.
Sweet blue dye.
Not very good for him.
Unlike methylene blue, which has given me what I can only describe as a superpower.
Let's see if we can understand these cartel wars in Mexico and how they relate to, I say, broader geopolitical arguments.
Is it that the world is shifting now?
All wars, remember, are proxy wars.
Whatever unfolds in Iran will impact Russia and China and will ultimately be resource wars.
Is it true that the United States of America would never have embarked on this adventure in Iran if they hadn't already secured Venezuelan war?
Oil.
Did I say war?
I meant oil.
Anyway, let me know in the comments and chat what you think about that while we jump into what's going on in Mexico, Mexico, Mexico.
Oh, El Mencho, he's brown bread.
Authorities in Mexico say at least 62 people have been killed following a wave of violence that broke out after the killing of the country's most wanted man.
Thousands of troops have now been deployed to help bolster security across the country following a wave of reprisal attacks.
The government has ordered civilians to stay indoors as violent unrest spread to popular tourist destinations such as Puerto Valata and Guadalajara, which in four months is set to host the Football World Cup.
The aftermath of drug cartel fury.
In the hours after their lead football World Cup, okay?
Football World Cup.
A sport where everyone in the world understands it.
Anyway, it's all kicking off over there.
Isn't it weird to watch them with BBC News?
Well, look what's going on over here.
Eld Head Honcho, he's been executed, and now you're being advised to stay in your home.
We've got a Football World Cup to consider.
There's reprisal attacks everywhere you look.
Oh no, don't much fancy those tacos.
In the hours after their leader was killed, foot soldiers of the Jalisco New Generation cartel, the most powerful drug gang in Mexico, went on the rampage, burning cars, blocking roads, spreading fear.
Incidents were registered in...
What do you think?
I don't know, like the Guadalupe something.
Teco Jalapino!
The Jalapeno paupers?
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't think Mexican cartels call themselves very good names.
Like, what was that one called the New Generation?
Pepsi.
crap even that one you think they have better marketing yeah you mexican cartels you need to work on your marketing like they're called for What about that one that's MS-13?
That's boring.
Boring.
Boring.
They want to be cool things like Satan.
Mother of Satan.
That was a good one.
I don't like thinking of Satan's mother.
I think sombrero.
Sombrero del Terrero.
Something like that.
Sombrero, let's do them.
Something with a bit of pizzazz.
Incidents were registered in 20 of Mexico's 32 states.
The cartel present in El Diablo's.
El Diablo's legitimate.
Legitimate cartel.
My business, Pablo Diablo's legitimate business firm.
Well, I called it when I was a lad.
And I've still got it.
Their bloody thing's a nightmare.
Pablo Diablo's legitimate business firm.
I should never call it that.
It was a mistake.
It was a mistake.
One of my many mistakes.
The cartel present in every corner of the country.
And this is the man whose killing prompted such violence.
Well, you would never, if you just saw him, old hot Honcho, he don't look nothing, does he?
Look at him, he's like nice looking guy.
He looks like a regular guy.
He don't look like he's going to be any trouble.
You try killing him, Mexico's double, double left.
It's such violence.
Nemesio Oseguera, better known as El D. What are you saying, Dave?
Nemesio Oseguera, better known as El Mencho, the petty drug dealer who rose to become the most wanted man in Mexico.
I think he's done well.
He was a petty drug dealer.
He's climbed the ranks.
It's like with Hitler.
Hang on to your hats.
Like, you know, like, in a way, it's a rags to riches story.
You know, he's a petty drug dealer.
He fights against the odds.
They should make a musical.
Broadway.
El Hencho, Broadway, the Broadway cartel.
I think so.
Yeah, it's possible, isn't it?
In Mexico, with a $15 million reward on his head.
For Mexico's president, Claudia Schainbaum, the victory lap over El Mencho was tempered by the violence unfolding on the streets.
But she insisted normality was returning.
She looks pretty serious, don't she?
She's actually really changed my whole attitude towards this matter.
I recognise now that I've been being a bit stupid the whole time.
I should never have said that Hitler is a rags to riches story.
Today, there is more calm and there is government, there are armed forces, there is a security cabinet, and there is a lot of coordination.
So, you can rest assured that Shinebom?
Oh, that's not very Mexican.
Shine bombing of Hitler.
Okay.
Um, WEF much you can rest assured that peace, security, and normality in the country are being safeguarded.
Country are being safeguarded.
Security remains a real concern going into world football's biggest competition.
Travelers were stranded in airports, some spending the night with the violence.
Everyone's obsessed with that.
The football this looks terrible.
I mean, the fact that these murders have happened so close to the quarterfinals is unforgivable.
How can we trust the quality of the turf with old El Hencho's mad reprisal killings carrying on long into the night?
This could affect the off-side law and any eventual penalty shootouts.
They're all right, they're angling to get that right out of Mexico, aren't they?
They're angling to save.
Well, that's a lot of money.
Money, money, money, honey, honey.
Well, if you're gonna have it in Qatar, yeah, Qatar.
I mean, that's you know, let's face it, there are some serious contentious issues, whether it's slavery.
What did I see someone saying?
They're not proper slaves, they're not like that geezer, that funny man, that dude off TikTok, that English geezer goes, No, China, right?
It'd be nice if they had a bit more like English food in there, like fish and chips.
Like, I see him do one about Dubai.
He's so funny, that bloke.
He was doing something like, No, yeah, they've got slaves, but they're not like proper slaves in China.
They're just a bit slavey.
He's funny, that geezer.
He's funny, man.
We should get him on.
I really like him.
Spending the night with the violence still taking place outside.
Despite the chaos, the Mexican government sees taking out El Mencho as ultimately making things safer here.
The cartel continues to reign over huge swathes of Mexico.
Their income, particularly from fentanyl trafficking, worth billions of dollars a year.
I just don't trust anything here in the news anymore.
Does seem strange that the whole swathes of Mexico are controlled by drug cartels going on?
That's what reality is, is it?
Mexico is controlled.
Huge swathes of it are controlled.
What an extraordinary economy.
What an extraordinary world.
Look at Trump commenting on it.
I think he sort of says some inappropriate stuff about the Mexican leader.
Well, not inappropriate, but just sort of unusual.
Look, it all comes coming through Mexico.
And I like the president very much.
She's a very good person.
She's got a beautiful voice.
A beautiful woman.
Beautiful voice.
Like, that's what it is, is when he starts talking, he doesn't know what he's going to say.
That's what it is for sure.
Now, that I recognize.
And he just thinks, what am I going to say?
I'm in charge.
I like her voice.
There.
I've that.
And she's a beautiful woman.
Fuck you.
I'm not afraid to say it.
Like, what's he going to say next?
But beautiful voice.
President, president.
President.
I said, let me eradicate the curtains.
No, no, no, please, president.
He's doing an impression of us.
Just pass an impression of us.
President, president.
Well, he trusts himself, man.
It's funny.
President.
We have to eradicate them.
We have to knock the hell out of them.
Because they're getting worse.
They're taking over their country.
The cartels are running Mexico.
We can't have that.
Too close to us.
Too close to you.
But everything comes in through Mexico, mostly.
Oh, man.
What an incredible human being he is.
What an unusual person.
One of my most cherished teachers says that Trump is a once in a 500 year figure.
Like he's a truly unique individual.
It's hard to get past the deluging years of vilification that accompanied his initial run and initial term as president that I was sort of more engaged with.
And to see the sort of phenomenon of Trump, just to look at him like an object in history to try and see past the partisanship.
It's just a very, he's a very, I can't imagine that there have been world leaders that's behaved like that before.
Maybe we should do it one day.
Maybe we should like get like 10 minute speeches of Kennedy, of Reagan, of Johnson, whoever.
You know, what I will tell you is like that people that are sort of bland and anodyne, anonymous, only registered because of temporally what was happening.
I'm thinking here of say Woodrow Wilson.
He was involved in the most awful skullduggery from what I understand when it comes to the setting up of the League of Nations and the deliberate kind of engineering of the First World War.
Like these people that you think of as banal are not heroic.
So when someone is colorful and bold and divisive and strange and brilliant as Trump comes on the scene, I don't know, man, you've just got to marvel at him like a sort of a shimmering object in the firmament of world politics.
And it's still, I'm aware that he's so hated and held in such contempt, which he doesn't really seem to be affected by or care about.
And that makes me like him all the more, frankly.
It's that sort of stuff, innit, that gets you out when you just see him doing an impression and being so himself in this odd environment.
Yeah, I'm surprised that I like him as much as I do.
Like when he first won, I remember in 2016, I was at a conference and was speaking at this conference.
Then we stayed up late watching the elections.
And then they were like, holy shit.
Like he's, he's going to.
You know, and I voted for him.
I really voted not Hillary.
Yeah.
Right.
Like, but the fact that he won, I remember thinking, I can't believe Donald Trump is our president.
Like, it, you know, like, it just didn't, it seemed like satire.
I just, I couldn't believe it.
But now, like, I'm surprised at how well he's done his second term.
It's an unbelievable figure.
It's unavoidable.
You can't, like, one of my friends said, like, with, you know, like with Margaret Thatcher, my mate G said, like, he was, someone commissioned, he's a poet, and someone had commissioned him to write like an attack poem on Margaret Thatcher.
She's loathed by like the liberal left in the UK.
And even someone like me who has, I don't know, a different political position than I've ever had before.
Thanks for doing that.
Thanks for taking that hit, Jake.
Like, like, you know, and I still, she did such, the time of her leadership was very punitive for a lot of traditional British interest.
Thanks, mate.
Like miners' unions and various other sort of strong aspects of working class culture.
But when you watch her, as my friend G said, you start liking her because she's got this sort of strength of character.
She's a real character.
She's like, people are rude to her.
She just as she confronts them very directly.
And she sort of, he said it was hard to write a poem criticizing her because when you watch clips of her, she's funny.
She's sort of funny because she is herself.
Fragility Concealed in Identity00:05:19
And I heard from a pastor, saints become themselves.
If we have absolute faith in God, we won't be afraid of coming ourselves.
We will be willing to let go of our false worldly identity, our guilt and shame and fear identity, our identity that tells you you're not going to be enough unless you achieve these worldly goals.
Someone like Thatcher, who obviously was very much a figure of the world, but she's also an ideologue.
An ideologue means she operates somewhat on the plane of a different plane.
It's a different realm.
And Trump's like that, even though you wouldn't really call him a spiritual person in the sense of he doesn't talk about metaphysics much, does he?
Like when he's at Charlie Kirk's funeral, he's like, I don't know, I wouldn't forgive him.
Like he's sort of like, he says weird stuff that's not spiritual.
On the like, he's a mystic, I think.
A mystic is a person that's in the present.
He's in the present in a really unusual way.
So I can see why people that are religious get off on him because he's got a very unusual nature.
I feel like you see what you get though with him.
Yeah, I just didn't expect we were going to see that in the middle of all this stuff about drug cartels.
Someone goes, very beautiful voice.
Like, who don't think you're going to hear that stuff?
All right.
Okay, Latin American insecurity fuels, legal immigration and richness cartels drains human capital.
Let's have a look at this stuff about feminists.
I don't understand this.
Like, in Mexico, feminists tear down the cross at La Compaña before setting the doors of the church on fire on International Women's Day.
That's so funny.
All of the people watching this like Jake and Massey are simultaneously and they need men to help them.
We could have got that cross down a lot faster.
Yeah.
Sexiest pigs.
Look, Jake had to open this bottle of mineral water for me, so I can't condemn our sisters for that, but I'm obviously not a fan of the heresy of ripping down that cross.
I don't see how that's helping anybody.
Catholics formed the human chain to protect a church.
Why are they attacking churches?
What's going on?
They've located the church as the locus of the problem.
What about old El Mencho and his hoodlum gangs burning out cars and killing people and the fentanyl traffic?
That can't be the Catholic Church, can it?
Surely.
Well, there you go.
Another one of those extraordinary stories that reminds us that on America's doorstep in America's South South, that extraordinary country that's had so much of America's shadow cast onto it, Mexico, Mexico.
It wasn't that long ago that all migrants were presumed Mexican until like, was that I want to say something like innocent until proven Mexican kind of thing.
You know, like Mexicans used to bear a kind of a lot of weight in this country, cultural weight.
And when I lived in Los Angeles, you're around Mexican people a bunch.
You hear a lot of things like, you know, we didn't cross the line, the line crossed us and all those kind of things.
But isn't it curious to see that just across the border there?
Extraordinary things, cartels running countries.
That there are even in these protests, there are odd divisions along secular and religious lines.
I don't know what the church is doing or not doing in Mexico that they can't be seen as allies of feminists.
The Catholic Church that reveres Mary as a saint and, you know, obviously in the biological sense, adjacent to God, an assumed figure and queen of heaven.
I don't know how what work the culture could be doing to take up some imagined deficit there.
Extraordinary to me.
Extraordinary to me.
And I suppose Mexico's fragility is a reminder that we all live on the edge of chaos.
I wonder what it would take for the United States to go up in flames.
Sometimes I feel we're not that far from it here, nor in the UK either.
That all about us is a kind of fragility that's concealed.
It's easy when you can use labels like drug cartel or feminists or Catholics.
It helps you to understand the world.
But I think things are a little more amorphous now and a little more muddled when the people being passed off as white supremacists just seem like protesters.
People that are being described as Islamic terrorists just seem like gangling, hapless youths.
What's going on with language and words?
And what function are the media performing?
It certainly isn't educate, illuminate, convey information.
It's obfuscate, propagandize, terrify and divide.
And that seems to be the case in Mexico as well.
Pray for them churches.
I hope that you're all safe down there.
That's just what I think.
Strangers Connected Yet Lonely00:03:16
Let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
Sorry.
I just didn't want to do that burp in the middle of saying any of that stuff.
Just would have been terribly, terribly rude.
Okay, before we leave, yeah.
Jake, simpler times, you say.
What are you talking about, darling?
This video I saw pop up that just had kids growing up in America in the 90s saying, wait, this is what it's going to be like?
That's pretty interesting.
Get ready for the heartstrings to be tugged.
Wait, so you're telling me in the future, people just stare at a little box all day, inside and outside?
And in the future, you don't even own the music?
You just pay every month to borrow it?
Like, if you stop paying, the music just disappears?
Wait, so before people eat, they take a picture of the food and show strangers?
And the strangers like and comment on it?
So in the future, everyone has their own phone and they use it to type messages instead of call?
And if someone calls you without typing it first, it's considered rude.
So you're telling me in the future, people just post their diary for everyone to see?
Some people get paid for it.
For their diary?
And in the future, a little box just tells you where to go?
Turn by turn?
And people still get lost?
If you want food from a restaurant, you just tap the box and a stranger brings it to your door and you pay extra for that and then you rate the stranger.
Our moms always say don't talk to strangers.
But in the future, everyone just talks to strangers all day on the little box and shows them their house and their kids.
So in the future, nobody ever just sits with the quiet like ever?
That sounds really exhausting.
In the future?
Everyone's connected to everything and people are still lonely.
Okay, but do we at least still stay outside until the street lights come on?
Oh, those kids are all sadly now on Epstein Island working for a living.
Is there a real, yeah, that's a kick up the nuts, that, innit?
For the nostalgia.
You see that thing, that Netflix thing about Charlie Sheen, like, aside from all the madness and, you know, that one would expect, like, you see, he grew up in Malibu and it's almost like it was a slightly, I don't mean in the usual way, retarded area.
It didn't grow at the normal rate.
So like people were still like, you know, hanging out.
But that's talking about the 90s.
Gosh, I can't believe it.
Because obviously, when I was a kid, people were that you know, people were lamenting the rate of change.
It's not progress, baby, it's entropy.
Hey, listen, um, we're out here now.
We'll be back on, I don't know what day this is, as usual, Friday.
But like, I see, I'm staying connected to that world.
I was out on the beach yesterday for my little son, just like only looking at him, only looking at him and the water, only looking at him and the water, and then talking to people about Christ.
That's all.
I'm look, we're not going to be doing this for much longer, are we?
We won't be able to.
We've got to do something that's more directly beneficial.
