=== The Situation vs World (14:58) ===

[00:00:00]  The next step is to take a look at the situation.
[00:00:01]  The situation is that the situation is not the same as the situation in the world.
[00:00:03]  The situation is not the same as the situation in the world.
[00:00:04]  The situation is not the same as the situation in the world.
[00:00:05]  The situation in the world is not the same as the situation in the world.
[00:00:30]  I'm going to go to the hospital.
[00:01:29]  Trying to bring real journalism to the American people.
[00:01:33]  Hello there, you Awakening Wonders.
[00:01:35]  Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand in this fragmented and peculiar world.
[00:01:40]  Let us find some unity and peace.
[00:01:43]  together, knowing that we won't find it in the broken shards of a tumbling, falling world or maybe in the fragmented cases of a found bullet.
[00:01:52]  Because our first story is that the bullet that killed Charlie Kirk on initial forensic analysis doesn't seem to be the bullet that was fired from an ar wielded by dear old Tyler Robinson.
[00:02:10]  Let's know in the comments and chat right now if that makes sense to you or whether you see it.
[00:02:14]  Come on, tell me in the comments right away.
[00:02:16]  Oh, well, it's because it's an inconclusive test, because a lot of tests are inconclusive when it's just a fragment of a bullet casing.
[00:02:24]  And notice too do you probably assess information that you encounter online really from a kind of a perspective of this is what I believe and I continually want confirmation of those beliefs as I make my way through life?
[00:02:37]  Let me know are you able to make that assessment?
[00:02:40]  Like there are stories that you want to be true.
[00:02:42]  For example, say if it came up, you know, Bill Gates proven to be a paedophile, does that make you go, ah, Good!
[00:02:49]  You know, or are you sort of neutral or like a Donald Trump paedophile?
[00:02:54]  Normally it's paedophile, isn't it?
[00:02:56]  Because I suppose that's the worst thing people can do until they dream up a new thing worse than that, which you can imagine and I bet be sure they are doing in the dark, peculiarly sanitary corridors and citadels of this new, weird, Extraordinary global power that turns us continually against one another on the basis of culture, religion, and other temporary forms of passing identity, so that they can.
[00:03:22]  Assert power over us in a variety of ways.
[00:03:26]  And there we are, dumbed down on a low frequency bandwidth, exchanging tokens mindlessly, never really recognizing that soon we will all be dead, individually and collectively.
[00:03:40]  Death is coming.
[00:03:41]  Repent, repent of your sins.
[00:03:43]  Let's get into the first story.
[00:03:45]  Before that, let me introduce these folks that here with me there's Jake over there in front of the flag of the United States Of America.
[00:03:50]  Why you've been smelling yourself for Jake?
[00:03:53]  Uh, what?
[00:03:54]  Well, I saw you sniffing at yourself.
[00:03:57]  Sniffing at yourself like a fox sniffing at its own butt.
[00:04:00]  Because you just got to know sometimes.
[00:04:02]  Got to know.
[00:04:04]  Oh, that's sweet.
[00:04:06]  Oh, that's a good.
[00:04:07]  I smell nice, I do.
[00:04:08]  I have cold showers pretty regular.
[00:04:10]  I showered outside today alongside a stranger.
[00:04:14]  She was in a different shower.
[00:04:16]  Nevertheless, I look forward to 25 years' time defending that statement.
[00:04:21]  Hopefully, there's some evidence there available that I can prove myself innocent because that seems to be the actual standard of the law.
[00:04:28]  Hey, Dave, what about you?
[00:04:29]  You're looking fresh.
[00:04:31]  Thanks.
[00:04:31]  Young.
[00:04:32]  Thanks.
[00:04:33]  Handsome.
[00:04:34]  Sexy.
[00:04:35]  Is it NADs?
[00:04:36]  Must be.
[00:04:37]  NADs coursing through your veins.
[00:04:39]  If you haven't tried our reborn products yet, try our reborn products now.
[00:04:43]  In particular, Methylene Blue.
[00:04:44]  And, you know, for the month of April, we've got a whole bunch of deals.
[00:04:47]  There's a link in the description right now that will allow you to get all sorts of deals, you know, good deals.
[00:04:52]  Massey, what about you, darling?
[00:04:54]  Where are you, Canadian?
[00:04:56]  Canada, mate.
[00:04:56]  Do I look as good as Dave?
[00:05:00]  Well, I don't know.
[00:05:01]  It's difficult because you're not in the same physical environment.
[00:05:03]  You do look quite well.
[00:05:04]  Your skin's got an even tone to it.
[00:05:06]  Yeah, you look well.
[00:05:07]  You look good.
[00:05:08]  You look good, mate.
[00:05:09]  You look good.
[00:05:10]  Okay, let's get into our first story.
[00:05:12]  The Charlie Kirk bullet, as it's become known, and gosh, I can't believe I'm talking about it in such abstract terms already.
[00:05:17]  It's the life of a human being.
[00:05:19]  But ever since he was murdered, people have said, well, there's something not right about this.
[00:05:24]  Was there a device down his shirt?
[00:05:25]  Palm pistols.
[00:05:26]  The usual new vocabulary that emerges in conspiracies.
[00:05:30]  We all have to learn what these peculiar things mean.
[00:05:33]  Of course, we've seen footage from the rear now, largely thanks to Candice Owen that doesn't show an exit wound.
[00:05:39]  What the people that are, you know, closely associated with Charlie Kirk, I'm talking about Erica Kirk and Turning Point, they say there's an extant investigation happening.
[00:05:49]  We can't talk about these things explicitly.
[00:05:51]  And as someone who's involved in a criminal trial myself, I know how restrictive these matters can be.
[00:05:57]  Let's look then at why people are talking about Charlie Kirk and the assassination of Charlie Kirk in a slightly different light.
[00:06:03]  And let's all remember, just from a little thing called history and the facts of life as we know them up till now, that.
[00:06:09]  It's never a lone gunman, is it?
[00:06:11]  It's never a lone gunman.
[00:06:12]  Lee Harvey Oswald?
[00:06:14]  Come on.
[00:06:15]  Whoever it was that killed Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby?
[00:06:18]  Come on.
[00:06:19]  Whoever killed MLK, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, the Kennedy, is always a lie.
[00:06:26]  So, listen, this I will give you to ponder.
[00:06:29]  Whatever they tell you, dismiss that from the beginning and then start working, hopefully based on evidence, on what the truth might be.
[00:06:36]  Whether it's Charlie Kirk, you know, someone they might like, or someone else.
[00:06:39]  I mean, maybe now's the time to start.
[00:06:41]  Looking at Austin Butler again and start saying well, where's that ear injury man?
[00:06:46]  Where's that ear injury?
[00:06:47]  What's that?
[00:06:47]  What's with that photo op and the fight fight, fight moment?
[00:06:51]  Let me know where you are on the spectrum.
[00:06:53]  Are you someone that will say, Trump forever, I just like his prophetic, charismatic nature, he's an American mystic.
[00:07:00]  Or are you someone that's saying hey, thinking about it, now the world does seem to be, by and large, being run in the same sort of manner that it was prior to the election of Trump.
[00:07:13]  Let me know where you stand on that.
[00:07:14]  I know this is primarily on Rumble, and if you haven't got Rumble Premium yet, get Rumble Premium right now, because it supports us and helps us if you do that, and you'll get additional content.
[00:07:24]  It's not just for you, actually.
[00:07:25]  I mean, not just for me.
[00:07:26]  You get additional content.
[00:07:27]  I mean, that's how capitalism and consumerism works, isn't it?
[00:07:30]  You pay money, you get something.
[00:07:31]  In this case, you get more content from us, more content from Crowder, more content from Paul and Greenwald, and many of the other Rumble content creators, certainly, though I benefit from it.
[00:07:40]  But my point is this.
[00:07:42]  Are you beginning to recognize at last the futility of investing your spiritual energy in other human beings and other human ideas?
[00:07:50]  Certainly, that's the.
[00:07:51]  Point that I'm at, and I've been here before.
[00:07:53]  I've visited these various stations on the crossbar.
[00:07:56]  Let's talk about the Charlie Kirk assassination, the conspiracy theories, and the conspiracy facts that surround the murder of this young man.
[00:08:04]  He was a very brilliant young man, actually.
[00:08:06]  Let's have a look.
[00:08:07]  So, the bullet that killed Charlie Kirk does not match the rifle allegedly used.
[00:08:12]  Now, I've heard people say that it's just not conclusive.
[00:08:15]  It's just not conclusive, and often in 40% of cases I read, it's unable to identify in forensic ballistics, means the bullet was too fragmented or damaged.
[00:08:24]  for a conclusive positive match via rifling marks, not that experts ruled out the rifle or found an exclusion.
[00:08:29]  This is common with high velocity rounds.
[00:08:31]  Right, so in a sense, when you see that headline, obviously that headline's constructed, does not match, that's because now in this space we're all in, there are certain emotions and feelings and types of reporting that are successful.
[00:08:44]  And I suppose the reason the MAGA right has become so fragmented is because probably since the election of Trump, people all need their own audiences and need their own markets.
[00:08:55]  Probably we've been guilty of participating in that.
[00:08:58]  I'm certainly not saying I'm exempt from earthly pulls like money and survival and managing fear.
[00:09:06]  But actually, I'm becoming a little inoculated just due to ongoing stress, recognizing that every time you encounter stress now, stress, fear, anger, rage, despair, ennui, suicidal thoughts, really all you're actually doing is being confronted with an unavoidable, Condition of temporality, i.e., death.
[00:09:31]  That's the bookend of this.
[00:09:32]  We're going to die.
[00:09:34]  So, anytime you're overly invested in, yeah, but what about the World Cup or something, it's nice.
[00:09:39]  I'm looking forward to the World Cup.
[00:09:41]  But the truth is, whatever happens in that World Cup, whether England win it or whether it's just the site of endless terror attacks in the limitless cosmos, why would you care more about what's happening here than amidst the detritus in Saturn's rings?
[00:10:00]  Why?
[00:10:00]  If you don't believe in God, if you believe in God, it's because you believe there's something divine about human beings and we're charged with becoming a dwelling place to divine and holy power, which is the source of all true reality.
[00:10:12]  And while we're here in temporality, here in the matter and in the material and in the stuff, we're meant to in some way bend towards, incline towards the divinity that is our birthright, that's stitched into us, that's our formation and our foundation.
[00:10:26]  If you don't believe in God, then actually, I would suggest heroin and hedonism.
[00:10:33]  Because, like, that's as far as I can get on it.
[00:10:35]  But let's have a look at what's going on with Dan Bongino, significant Rumble streamer, former deputy head of the FBI, had this to say about the Daily Mail headlines.
[00:10:47]  Let's have a look at Bongino elsewhere on Rumble.
[00:10:50]  One of the most disturbing headlines I've ever seen the headline about the Charlie Kirk trial.
[00:10:56]  Here's the Daily Mail headline from last night.
[00:10:59]  I mean, again, one of the most disgusting.
[00:11:01]  I've not really looked at Dan Bongino's face since he's been deputy head of the FBI before now, and he looks different, doesn't he?
[00:11:08]  He looked a bit worn out.
[00:11:10]  Like, my friend one time told me that he was once doing a farm visit, and on that farm visit, there were trays of chicks, you know, young hens, little yellow chicks, this being Easter and all.
[00:11:21]  And he said that in one of the trays, all the chicks was alive, and in the other tray, the chicks were all dead.
[00:11:27]  And he said to amuse himself, he picked up one of the living chicks and showed it all of the dead chicks, and then put it back with the living chicks.
[00:11:40]  I reckon that chick looks how Dan Bongino looks now.
[00:11:44]  Like he's just seen too much stuff.
[00:11:46]  And he's just like, what?
[00:11:48]  Okay.
[00:11:49]  I'm going back to Rumble.
[00:11:51]  Fuck that.
[00:11:52]  Now he's got to go through going, okay, so what are they doing over there in the government?
[00:11:57]  Having just now seen, oh my God, it's all a terrible Luciferian plot and it doesn't matter.
[00:12:04]  You literally could go, I'll vote for AOC, I'll vote for Bernie Sanders, or you could say I'll vote for JD Vance or Trump and it wouldn't matter.
[00:12:12]  It wouldn't matter.
[00:12:13]  And I'm not saying that to condemn any of the four individuals that I just listed.
[00:12:17]  I'm saying that if Lucifer is in charge of the world, fallen light, Fallen one, evil principle, evil prevailing principle is what dominates earthly institutions.
[00:12:29]  Those powers, those celestial powers, can accommodate people being Latin or Catholic or communist.
[00:12:39]  They're not like, oh no, we had control through our power of the demonic realm, but this guy's been circumcised.
[00:12:47]  Ah, shut it down, shut it down.
[00:12:51]  The only thing that can possibly defend you against evil is dying unto yourself.
[00:12:57]  You commit suicide, but you stay alive.
[00:13:00]  That's the only way through list.
[00:13:01]  Let me know in the comments and chat if you agree with that or if you think, I don't know, maybe if you collect enough pogs or baseball cards or blowjobs or cars, maybe it'll be okay for you.
[00:13:13]  I don't know.
[00:13:13]  Maybe you can weasel your way through materialism successfully.
[00:13:17]  If you can, let me know because the spiritual route, I'll tell you from personal experience, it ain't easy, baby.
[00:13:22]  It ain't easy.
[00:13:23]  Let's continue with Dan Bongino, the man who's seen too much.
[00:13:26]  I mean, again, one of the most disgusting things I've seen in a long time.
[00:13:30]  Bullet used to kill Charlie.
[00:13:32]  So, presumably, at the FBI, he saw like the Epstein files.
[00:13:36]  Like, so that's kind of as bad as a misleading headline.
[00:13:39]  With all due respect to that and the Bongino army out there.
[00:13:42]  Bullet used to kill Charlie Kirk.
[00:13:44]  Quote, did not, not in all caps, appealing again to the lowest common denominator.
[00:13:49]  Did not match rifle allegedly used by suspect Tyler Robinson.
[00:13:53]  New court filing claims.
[00:13:54]  So, the bullet used did not match the rifle allegedly used by suspect Tyler Robinson.
[00:13:59]  Here they write in a piece the bullet that killed conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.
[00:14:03]  May not match the rifle.
[00:14:05]  Oh, used by Tyler Robinson.
[00:14:06]  That's interesting.
[00:14:07]  Well, now it's may not.
[00:14:09]  I don't think Tyler Robinson killed Charlie Cook.
[00:14:11]  Do you?
[00:14:11]  I mean, just because I've seen him and he looks like a bit like.
[00:14:15]  Like, you know, when you see in a movie, like someone has to join the army who's not meant to be in the army.
[00:14:19]  I'm thinking of British films mostly.
[00:14:20]  And like they give him a rifle and they're like, I don't know which way around it goes.
[00:14:24]  I feel like Tyler Robinson would flap under, like if you give him a rifle and went, shoot that guy over there.
[00:14:30]  Like, can you imagine how difficult it is to.
[00:14:34]  Kill someone in broad daylight.
[00:14:36]  You go up the stairs, you shout the rifle, you lay it out, you fix the sight.
[00:14:38]  Now, Eddie Gallagher on our show, he did say they're pretty easy to operate if you've had some training.
[00:14:44]  But I think, like, psychologically and spiritually, unless you are, like, Eddie Gallagher's a Navy SEAL who's, like, been brutalized by the, you know, by Hell Week and such training to be a Navy SEAL, then being an active combatant in the military.

=== Politics and Fan Systems (04:37) ===

[00:14:58]  So, you know, but if you're some guy who's the rest of the time, as far as I can understand, living with what?
[00:15:02]  A fluffy, a furry, a care bear, just at home, dressing up in big diapers.
[00:15:07]  And cuddling someone and pretending to be made out of fluff or whatever they do to pass the time these days.
[00:15:12]  And by the way, if you've gotten yourself into that kind of state, you might want to renegotiate your relationship with God because if the only way you can get a kick out of reality is to dress yourself up as a rabbit and jerk off in a mirror, I'd say you're missing some of the cosmic downloads that are of vital importance.
[00:15:28]  Nevertheless, when I see old Tyler Robinson, I don't think there's the kind of cold blooded killer.
[00:15:32]  Like the same with the other one, Austin Butler, that other little pale, real calf of a lad, that little Pale lad that done nothing but be in a BlackRock commercial, and then all of a sudden we were meant to have believed they shot Donald Trump in the earlobe.
[00:15:46]  I mean, the whole thing is starting increasingly to feel like a dreadful sham, and I say that as a man who would like American citizenship.
[00:15:53]  A not.
[00:15:53]  I thought it said did not.
[00:15:55]  Guys, are you reading the same thing I'm reading, Justin?
[00:15:57]  The title says did not, right?
[00:15:59]  But his defense attorneys talking about.
[00:16:01]  I think Butler's a place.
[00:16:03]  Butler, Pennsylvania.
[00:16:04]  Where was Butler?
[00:16:06]  I don't know.
[00:16:07]  His defense attorneys, talking about Mr. Robinson, who's, by the way, entitled to a vigorous defense, his defense attorneys now argue that the ATF was, quote, unable to identify the bullet recovered at the autopsy to the rifle allegedly tied to Mr. Robinson.
[00:16:21]  So now it gets even worse.
[00:16:23]  Now they're not only saying may not, now they're saying it couldn't match at all because the bullet base.
[00:16:29]  The problem is this like when you get granular, you can make anything make sense.
[00:16:32]  You can make any number, any number of pivotal decisions.
[00:16:36]  Flip flops, changes of direction makes sense.
[00:16:39]  You can do that.
[00:16:40]  But the thing is is now, don't most of us know one way or another?
[00:16:46]  Say, if you're a social justice warrior, eco kind of person, Lgbtq plus your, your opinion will be, you can't trust the state, you can't trust the media.
[00:16:55]  They've always had it in.
[00:16:56]  For us, the whole thing's a shirab.
[00:16:58]  Or if you're a right wing libertarian, gun owning survivalist redneck you're.
[00:17:02]  I can't trust the state there, you can't trust the media.
[00:17:05]  No one anymore.
[00:17:06]  Who is it?
[00:17:06]  Who are the people that, like say, 1950s, think of like a bit of footage of the 1950s?
[00:17:12]  There we are, they're moving in droves to suburbia.
[00:17:14]  White goods have made the housewives life an easy one.
[00:17:19]  Where's the normal people?
[00:17:20]  There's no one left that's like that now.
[00:17:22]  In my country, in your country, everyone's in total disarray and chaos.
[00:17:27]  And nostalgia is about as good as it gets, but we're not going backwards.
[00:17:30]  That's not how time or entropy or molecular movement operates.
[00:17:34]  So we've got to move forward.
[00:17:35]  And it looks like what we're going to have to go through It's a sort of a pretty serious initiation, a pretty serious initiation where at some point we're able to say, look, you know, we've got to put aside these mad cultural disputes and recognize that we don't know very much and maybe ideology and politics are not good bedfellows at all, that politics should be reduced to a kind of blunt bureaucratic managerialism and because it is suboptimal,
[00:18:04]  because managerialism and anything voided of spiritual value is, of course, potentially a problem, in order to... mitigate the damage that can be done by politics, let's decentralize wherever possible.
[00:18:17]  Don't let power accumulate except where necessary.
[00:18:21]  Let's start a politics of referenda.
[00:18:24]  Talk about what your country needs.
[00:18:26]  What does it need?
[00:18:27]  Is it primarily you think external threat?
[00:18:30]  You want a military strong enough to prevent external threat.
[00:18:33]  Good.
[00:18:33]  Get some military analysis and AI analysis to look at what that is and then perhaps agree, okay, we want this much tax for that.
[00:18:41]  Everything else, localize it.
[00:18:43]  Stop pretending you can run populations of 330 million people from a group of 400 people in Congress or the Senate or wherever who have all been horribly corrupted by the process.
[00:18:54]  The outliers, you'll get one Thomas Massey a generation who's someone you think like, well, he seems like he's like a reasonable guy.
[00:19:02]  And, you know, you've got to chew through the Disney World attending genitalia of a hundred Lindsey Grahams to get to a Massey.
[00:19:10]  Like people that will vote for and pay for whatever.
[00:19:13]  Weird pink people turning up in theme parks, extraordinarily childless in weird ways, advocating for war, the least belligerent and bellicose and martial looking people on earth saying yeah, let's have yet more war, let's have yet more war, i.e the systems.
[00:19:30]  You don't want a system that is contingent upon the reliability of a politician, do you?

=== Ballistics Jelly Bits (05:57) ===

[00:19:35]  Whether you're AOC fan or Trump fan, or a JD fan or a Kennedy fan or a Newsom fan or whichever personality you want to nail your colours to the mast of Once they enter into the system?
[00:19:50]  Come on, come on, surely enough.
[00:19:54]  Is enough, but that's just what I think.
[00:19:55]  Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
[00:19:58]  Surely, the time for the politics and personality is at an end, and what you want is direct digital democracy wherever possible, and that no other idea will work.
[00:20:06]  But hey, I'm just me.
[00:20:08]  Here's Joe Rogan talking about the bullet theory himself because now there's video footage from behind.
[00:20:14]  The round that he was shot with was a 30 odd six, which is a big round that's a round you kill a moose with, and it doesn't even have an exit wound, right?
[00:20:23]  Big block of jelly they shot.
[00:20:25]  What was that?
[00:20:26]  Have you ever shot a 30 out of 6?
[00:20:28]  No, I've not.
[00:20:28]  And what if I shot a big block of jelly like that?
[00:20:30]  What is that big block of jelly?
[00:20:32]  Ballistics jelly.
[00:20:34]  Everyone knows that.
[00:20:35]  You don't know about ballistics jelly.
[00:20:36]  Everyone knows that.
[00:20:37]  It doesn't sound like a real thing, ballistics jelly.
[00:20:39]  And I'm just English enough to believe him.
[00:20:42]  Hold on.
[00:20:43]  Can we go back?
[00:20:44]  Have an exit wound.
[00:20:45]  Right.
[00:20:45]  It don't make no sense.
[00:20:46]  We look at the ballistics jelly again, Jake.
[00:20:49]  What if we just.
[00:20:49]  Stop and start again.
[00:20:51]  No sense.
[00:20:52]  It makes zero sense.
[00:20:53]  Like, we haven't seen that guy, the guy who loves furries, who's supposedly.
[00:20:58]  Killed Charlie Kirk.
[00:20:59]  We haven't seen him talk.
[00:21:00]  No.
[00:21:01]  He hasn't said he did it.
[00:21:02]  Isn't that because he's under arrest and stuff?
[00:21:03]  I mean, I don't know.
[00:21:04]  I don't know how it works in your country.
[00:21:06]  He hasn't said he did it.
[00:21:07]  He hasn't said he didn't do it.
[00:21:08]  There's no independent video of him talking about it.
[00:21:11]  Yeah.
[00:21:11]  And then there was footage of him, like, at a yogurt shop.
[00:21:14]  Right.
[00:21:14]  Way across.
[00:21:15]  Press stop, and then.
[00:21:16]  Because now there's video footage from behind.
[00:21:18]  The round that he was shot with was a 30 odd six, which is a big round.
[00:21:23]  That's a round you kill a moose with.
[00:21:24]  Uh huh.
[00:21:25]  And it doesn't even have an exit.
[00:21:26]  The way it quivered itself up onto its side like that, like reverse Jenga, like Jelly Jenga, like it went all From horizontal to vertical in a dirty jelly wobble.
[00:21:35]  Let's get some of that.
[00:21:37]  Do you have some ballistics jelly?
[00:21:39]  Send it to us.
[00:21:40]  Here we are in the panhandle in the Redneck Riviera.
[00:21:43]  We're just a bunch of good old boys.
[00:21:44]  You want to fire our firearms at ballistic jelly.
[00:21:47]  I manufacture my own ballistics jelly in my downstairs, in my nut bag.
[00:21:54]  And that's frankly all it's fit for these days ballistics jelly.
[00:21:57]  Shoot it out of your genitalia into an ice cube tray, then shoot it.
[00:22:02]  Not worrying, it looked like it had a fish in it.
[00:22:04]  Did it look like it had a fish in it?
[00:22:06]  Yeah, that's you too.
[00:22:08]  Hey, my sparks my, my boys can swim.
[00:22:11]  They've got high motility.
[00:22:13]  I went to the doctor.
[00:22:14]  They had to throw away the chart.
[00:22:15]  They said we've never seen such virility testosterone like this.
[00:22:18]  There must have been a mix up.
[00:22:19]  Is this bigfoot's bigfoot's testosterone?
[00:22:22]  We never seen sexiness like this.
[00:22:24]  We never seen this kind of virility.
[00:22:26]  Let's have a look at any newspaper head like, yeah no, that's not good.
[00:22:29]  Yeah no yeah, we're gonna have to, we're gonna have to put you in jail sir, you're just too sexy baby, you're just too sexy.
[00:22:35]  So there you go.
[00:22:36]  It doesn't make sense from the Joe Rogan angle either.
[00:22:39]  Let's all learn about the palm pistol, which is what I call my penis.
[00:22:42]  Take a look at this man right here, folks.
[00:22:44]  This is Charlie Kirk's security guy.
[00:22:47]  He appears to have a palm gun in his right hand, and he aims it at Charlie Kirk and squeezes the palm gun, firing off around directly into Charlie Kirk's neck.
[00:23:01]  As you can see, folks, in the right fist between the middle finger and the ring finger is the barrel of the palm pistol.
[00:23:06]  You see him squeeze the palm pistol, firing off around into Charlie Kirk, murdering Charlie Kirk.
[00:23:13]  Charlie Kirk.
[00:23:14]  Now, if you pay attention to that right hand, it's going to go down into that left tricep area into a hidden pocket.
[00:23:22]  You can see him stuffing that palm pistol in there.
[00:23:25]  His right hand.
[00:23:26]  You can't see it.
[00:23:27]  I've not got very good eyesight, so I'm just watching it and I'm going, I cannot see any of the things you're describing.
[00:23:32]  But, like, remember those magic eye pictures?
[00:23:34]  They were hard.
[00:23:35]  I struggled with them as well.
[00:23:36]  Like, What?
[00:23:38]  Is a dinosaur?
[00:23:39]  Now, if you just squint, you can see Charlie Kirk's being murdered by his closest friends.
[00:23:43]  I mean, I'm just like, what a terrible world we live in where we just have to, like, where the reaction to this is, like, well, Erica Kirk, she's obviously some sort of lunatic and Charlie Kirk's mates all killed him.
[00:23:55]  I mean, I hope that isn't true because I've had enough now, ever knew, of everything just being evil the whole time and just delighting in it.
[00:24:01]  Like, the world is such a mess that people sort of like the idea that Erica Kirk might be a lunatic and, like, Charlie Kirk's mates all gang together to shoot him with.
[00:24:10]  Weird little handshake buzzer looking guns.
[00:24:13]  It's such a terrible, awful business.
[00:24:16]  Already, I'm a person who actually met Charlie Kirk a few times and knew him some, and already I can't aggregate it anymore.
[00:24:24]  Like, the deluge of information is so much, so fast, so radical.
[00:24:28]  Think about it.
[00:24:28]  We've said before on this show that the million monkeys at a typewriter theory is a reality now.
[00:24:33]  Well, you know, as in they said, if you had a million monkeys typing for an infinite duration, they would, of course, eventually recreate the entire works of Shakespeare.
[00:24:41]  That's like a sort of one of those philosophical maxims people use.
[00:24:44]  Well, consider this.
[00:24:45]  That the kind of information freight and attention freight put on this killing, on this murder, on this terrible, terrible crime has been so sort of fraught and overwhelming.
[00:24:55]  It's like already Erica Kirk has lived a Jackie Onassis life.
[00:24:58]  Charlie Kirk has experienced the JFK's worth of analysis in bits of data, in bits of data, in bits of scrutiny.
[00:25:07]  The world can't handle this much attention.
[00:25:10]  We need to be anchored in God even to use this technology.
[00:25:13]  This technology, untethered from divinity, is by definition luciferian, because it's a kind of excuse me counterfeit creation of the of consciousness is itself a omnipresence.
[00:25:28]  We've created an unholy consciousness.
[00:25:30]  Therefore it is by default diabolical.

=== Tax Network USA Calls (03:56) ===

[00:25:33]  Now look, I apologize, I burped in the middle of that.

[00:25:48]  Here's a message just from a homeless guy I met in the street outside and he just told me a really harrowing story about after years of military service.
[00:25:55]  It's not, it's just a commercial for a product here.

[00:25:58]  Oh no, tax.

[00:26:14]  We need a revolution.
[00:26:15]  Till then, though, did you retire and suddenly get hit with a tax bill we didn't expect?
[00:26:20]  Near the anus?
[00:26:21]  Are you a business owner with messy books and a balance you cannot afford near the anus?

[00:26:55]  They tyrannize you like that.
[00:26:56]  Remember, they print money and all that kind of stuff, don't they?

[00:29:28]  Let's continue with our work.

=== Shame Fear Grieving (08:51) ===

[00:29:29]  Here is the official story around the murder of beloved Charlie Kirk.
[00:29:34]  May you rest in peace.
[00:29:34]  Let's look at it.
[00:29:36]  Charlie Kirk, during an event at Utah Valley University, was shot on September 10, 2025.
[00:29:42]  From nearly 400 feet, or about 120 meters away.
[00:29:46]  The gunman had been lying in wait.
[00:29:48]  A single round tears through the air, hitting Kirk in the neck.
[00:29:52]  The crowd erupts in panic.
[00:29:54]  The shooter immediately ran across the roof as people scatter in fear.
[00:29:58]  He leaps to the ground and disappears into the neighborhood.
[00:30:01]  Officers rush to the stage.
[00:30:02]  Kirk is pulled away and taken to a hospital.
[00:30:05]  A massive manhunt begins.
[00:30:07]  Heavily armed police search every corner.
[00:30:10]  Nearby, officers recover a Mauser bolt action rifle, hidden in the woods and wrapped in a towel.
[00:30:16]  Meanwhile, the suspect flees nearly 250 miles south to his hometown of St. George, Utah, where his father confronts him after recognizing him in surveillance images.
[00:30:26]  Tyler admits his role.
[00:30:29]  33 hours after.
[00:30:31]  It doesn't look like quite a good computer game.
[00:30:34]  Like, if you extract it from the human tragedy, like, you know, how long before that becomes.
[00:30:41]  You know, I see my kids on Roblox.
[00:30:43]  How long, you know, they're taking terrible liberties with Pepper Pig and a game dressed in press that's.
[00:30:49]  Out of control, also, if you ask me.
[00:30:51]  But then, one of my wife's friends, I understand, is playing with Barbie dolls.
[00:30:54]  I don't know.
[00:30:55]  But, like, how long before it's like you can be a lone gunman shooting, you know, choose, you're a celebrity?
[00:31:00]  Would that, like, people would like that game?
[00:31:04]  Yeah, Massey, you'd play it.
[00:31:05]  I'd play it as Erica Kirk.
[00:31:06]  That'd be great.
[00:31:08]  Play it as Erica Kirk.
[00:31:09]  Shoot Charlie Kirk, then get on stage, cry about it, then go shoot someone else.
[00:31:13]  Fire up the glitter cannon.
[00:31:15]  Now, listen, she's a grieving widow, so.
[00:31:21]  I mean, I think you're out of order.
[00:31:22]  She's not grieving anymore.
[00:31:25]  People grieve differently.
[00:31:27]  They grieve different.
[00:31:30]  People grieve differently.
[00:31:32]  Dancing like Michael Jackson and moonwalking.
[00:31:35]  Well, Michael Jackson for one.
[00:31:37]  Okay, let's have a look at Candace Owens talking about the gun ages ago.
[00:31:42]  To be fair, Candace Owens, you've got to admire that woman.
[00:31:46]  She got, I was going to say balls of steel, but I suppose labia of steel is better.
[00:31:52]  Iron labia, because this woman, she is not afraid.
[00:31:56]  She will go out there and she will say it.
[00:31:59]  And here she is saying pretty early on.
[00:32:01]  Later in the point, look, what.
[00:32:03]  Do you from the online, if you can't trust CNN, if you can't trust MSNBC, if you can't trust Fox, if you can't trust the BBC, like, why are you, why are we making high demands of your Tucker Carlson's, your Candace Ammons, your Joe Rogan's, your whoever's?
[00:32:17]  Because maybe all they need to be is entertaining.
[00:32:19]  You can't, like, veracity and reliability is not a claim that can be made by the insignia-smothered denizens of that mainstream media world.
[00:32:31]  They can't make that claim.
[00:32:32]  Hey, we're the New York Times!
[00:32:34]  You know, hey, we're MSNBC!
[00:32:38]  Or you can't trust any of them anyway.
[00:32:40]  So why would you not expect a degree of fallibility from someone like Candace Owens or Ben Shapiro?
[00:32:47]  It doesn't matter really, does it?
[00:32:49]  No one can make any claim for anything other than a subjective attempt to trawl through near infinite information and make sense of it.
[00:32:58]  That's why old Russ here is in the gate trying to abnegate self.
[00:33:02]  And I've had a lot of self.
[00:33:04]  I really have.
[00:33:05]  And.
[00:33:06]  Surrender to the word and become a channel of God's peace.
[00:33:08]  Now, what I would say is that He has made us individually and uniquely, so you will become who He intended you to be.
[00:33:14]  You will become who He intended to be, who He made.
[00:33:16]  I was like, you know, when Paul said in Galatians, I was talking to Jamie Winship earlier, and he said, like, that Paul knew in my mother's womb, says Paul, I think in Galatians, I was made to be the protector of the Gentiles.
[00:33:29]  So, all the time, he's out there nutting off Gentiles wherever he can, pursuing Gentiles willy nilly, holding people's coats while dear old St. Stephen's martyred.
[00:33:38]  Well, not to within an inch of his life, but till he's naught but ashes, he knows that he has that identity.
[00:33:44]  Find your identity in Christ.
[00:33:46]  Find your identity in Christ.
[00:33:48]  And, you know, if you're a Catholic, then you agree that there are non-scriptural documents that are fundamental to your faith, the catechism explicitly.
[00:33:56]  Therefore, I wonder if we might look openly at the book of Enoch and the book of the Gospel of Mary and the Gospel of Thomas.
[00:34:05]  And as long as it's not in conflict with fundamental scriptural ecclesiastical matters.
[00:34:12]  Well, we've got a little bit more furniture because I believe we're in a cosmic and spiritual war.
[00:34:15]  But that's just why I think, let me know what you think in the comments and the old chat kin.
[00:34:21]  See what Candice was saying way back when.
[00:34:23]  Charlie Kirk was shot from the front and the bullet did not exit.
[00:34:29]  And at least a fragment of the bullet was recovered right around here.
[00:34:36]  So think of it.
[00:34:36]  Oh, God, I can't watch it.
[00:34:37]  It's too gruesome.
[00:34:38]  But, like, you know, you can use it in a longer video in the sort of pre tape cut one if you want to.
[00:34:42]  Alright, so she thinks the FBI were involved.
[00:34:44]  Let's go to this thing here.
[00:34:45]  Let's go to Proverbs.
[00:34:46]  There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him.
[00:34:49]  Haughty eyes.
[00:34:50]  Yeah, I hate that as well.
[00:34:51]  So that's my nature in God.
[00:34:52]  A lying tongue.
[00:34:53]  Yeah, I hate it when I do that or when I experience it.
[00:34:55]  Hands that shed innocent blood.
[00:34:57]  We're sick of that.
[00:34:58]  A heart that devises wicked schemes.
[00:34:59]  Yeah, what's the point?
[00:35:01]  Feet that are quick to rush into evil.
[00:35:02]  That's all of us getting excited online.
[00:35:04]  A false witness who pours out lies.
[00:35:06]  I'm getting pretty tired of that crap, let me tell you.
[00:35:08]  And a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
[00:35:11]  Good advice there from Solomon before he himself went wildly off.
[00:35:15]  Track and decided the best thing to do with the gift of life granted to us by an unknowable cosmic power, or it can be known in the person of Christ, is to have sex with loads of concubines.
[00:35:26]  Now, I'm not claiming to be Solomon, certainly not in the wisdom department, but I spent some of my time doing that and.
[00:35:33]  All in all, it's not worth it, all things considered.
[00:35:36]  So, let us wrap up on the latest developments in the Charlie Kirk matter.
[00:35:40]  In the space we live in now, people will rush to conclusions.
[00:35:44]  What that rush will be is the inhered energy in them finding an external locust and moving towards it, like a light switch being put on.
[00:35:53]  Don't think of it anymore as new information.
[00:35:55]  Think of it as a stimulant, a stimulant that engages an already present internal.
[00:36:02]  Potentiality, call it.
[00:36:04]  You might recognize it more deeply.
[00:36:05]  I hope you, I hope the gods, you can.
[00:36:07]  But within you, there might be shame or fear, and some event will happen in your life, and you'll think at first, it's the event.
[00:36:14]  The event is doing this.
[00:36:16]  No, the shame and fear was present within you.
[00:36:19]  The event merely stimulated a present yet dormant shame or fear.
[00:36:24]  So, with the murder of Charlie Kirk, it's the first truly modern assassination, isn't it?
[00:36:30]  That's why we're reaching back to a bygone mere.
[00:36:33]  Media era for contrasts and comparisons, the now off-cited list of the Kennedys and the great heroes of the civil rights movement.
[00:36:43]  But in fact, it is the world that has altered vastly.
[00:36:47]  We can all be everywhere all the time now.
[00:36:50]  There's the potential for HS Tiki Toki or whoever else to make some bit of content that changes the world in an instant.
[00:36:59]  You might do it.
[00:37:00]  You might be the next person.
[00:37:01]  But if your goals and your aims are worldly ones, you will suffer.
[00:37:06]  It's possible too to even use the highest principles like following Christ Jesus for, I don't know, financial gain or for personal power.
[00:37:13]  Nothing is exempted from our fallenness.
[00:37:16]  Nothing.
[00:37:18]  Only collectively can we be saved.
[00:37:20]  Only individually can we enter into the covenant of salvation.
[00:37:24]  Let us work on that paradox together right now.
[00:37:27]  Because the alternative, as you've seen, is waiting for the slow grinding march of global imperialism to take heart and take hold to using successive crisis to legitimize levels of authority that we would... Scream at and never would have dreamed possible, or on the wait and way to that hell, just to squabble and quarrel endlessly amongst ourselves about matters that increasingly seem to me to be about as important as rival football teams mocking one another's colours, codes, and songs.
[00:37:56]  But that's just what I think.
[00:37:57]  Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat?

[00:38:07]  We still make content on YouTube, but increasingly, I see it just as the online.
[00:38:13]  Uh, conduit for legacy media information.
[00:38:17]  And what's the point in all that crap, man?
[00:38:19]  What's the point in it all?

=== Proper Countries List (15:19) ===

[00:38:20]  Okay uh hey, have you wondered who might be the nominee in 2028?
[00:38:25]  Some people are saying that oh, Jd Vance is uh, I don't know, in decline or whatever, but not Polymarket.
[00:38:31]  He's green and I know from life in general, and Polymarket specifically, that green is a good thing, i.e traffic lights green good, red bad.
[00:38:42]  But then of course we must consider apples, Because green and red can be good.
[00:38:46]  Now, in the snow white depiction of the apple, I think it was a half half.
[00:38:51]  It was a hybrid.
[00:38:52]  It was part green, part red.
[00:38:53]  Wasn't it?
[00:38:54]  It was a half half.
[00:38:57]  It was a half half apple.
[00:38:58]  Anyway, JD Vance, he's up there at the top.
[00:39:00]  Marco Rubio, Tucker Carlson climbing the ranks.
[00:39:03]  And there over at number 19, me, Russell Brand.
[00:39:06]  I'm not on that list.
[00:39:07]  I just added myself to make it more interesting to me to talk about it.
[00:39:11]  Oh, but you might not care about things like that because you might have realized it doesn't matter who the president is because real power is beyond the recognizable.
[00:39:19]  Offices of public power.
[00:39:21]  You might have worked that out by now.
[00:39:22]  I don't know.
[00:39:23]  Maybe you have.
[00:39:24]  Maybe you haven't.
[00:39:24]  I have.
[00:39:25]  Let's have a look instead at who's going to win the FIFA World Cup.
[00:39:28]  Now, that's football.
[00:39:29]  That's football with your feet, and that's world that includes.
[00:39:33]  Different countries.
[00:39:33]  Let me repeat that.
[00:39:35]  Different countries.
[00:39:36]  Not like the World Series, where it's like one country, oh, we let Canada come sometimes.
[00:39:40]  Now, here's the true World Cup.
[00:39:43]  A lot of people are saying Spain will win.
[00:39:45]  Well, that's always likely.
[00:39:46]  Or the French.
[00:39:48]  Or, look at that.
[00:39:49]  Good old number three, England.
[00:39:51]  And then the first non-European nation to be considered, the Argentinians and the Brazilians, always got to consider them.
[00:39:55]  Yeah, that is, do you know what?
[00:39:57]  Norway has always been that for ages.
[00:40:00]  Well, because of Haaland, Norway better not win it.
[00:40:02]  What if this clip?
[00:40:03]  One day goes viral because you know Norway do win the World Cup, but that's not happened for a long time.
[00:40:09]  World Cups are normally won by what you might call blue chip and what Donald Trump would call proper countries, not like what Donald Trump might call shit old countries.
[00:40:18]  Now, Spain, proper country, you know, Lorca Velasquez, you know, proper country, France, proper country, England, proper country, Argentina, proper country, Brazil, proper country, Portugal.
[00:40:32]  We're now on the border of proper countries.
[00:40:35]  Portugal is just about a proper country because of colonial work, because of Jose Mourinho, because of Ronaldo, who's not even properly Portuguese but from nearby Madeira.
[00:40:46]  Germany, proper country.
[00:40:48]  They've sometimes taken it too far.
[00:40:50]  Netherlands, proper country, Netherlands, you know, Ruber, Dutch masters, masters alike.
[00:40:56]  Norway, not proper country since Viking days.
[00:40:59]  Belgium, Tintin, not proper country.
[00:41:03]  That is the list of proper countries versus not proper countries.
[00:41:06]  If you've got a problem with that, please.
[00:41:11]  I could write this down on a piece of paper for you to refer to at your leisure.
[00:41:16]  If we can just find a way of making sense out of that with the light.
[00:41:20]  There you go.
[00:41:21]  That's that all handled.
[00:41:23]  Okay, so that's Polymarket.
[00:41:25]  You can use that for a variety of things.
[00:41:27]  Now, Global Holy War.
[00:41:29]  It's been a while, isn't it, since we've been in a Global Holy War.
[00:41:32]  Remember the last one?
[00:41:33]  Nazis.
[00:41:34]  What magnificent uniforms.
[00:41:36]  The British.
[00:41:36]  What pluck.
[00:41:37]  The Americans.
[00:41:38]  Nice of you to show up, Yanks.
[00:41:39]  Put the kettle on.
[00:41:41]  But now it's a new Global War.
[00:41:43]  This time with Iran.
[00:41:44]  Some people say that Iran are doing a little better than expected because during their long protracted wars with Iraq they worked out that global warfare was changing.
[00:41:53]  I saw this video and I found it a helpful explanation.
[00:41:57]  Now I don't know enough about geopolitics and probably neither do you unless you have access to deep state information.
[00:42:03]  But generally I think people are saying this war is not going how it was anticipated.
[00:42:08]  I don't feel like people are super thrilled to have American teenagers and young people shipped over en masse to...
[00:42:15]  Participate in a war that, you know, my personal belief for what it's worth, which is, you know, in the general scheme of things, very little, is that this is not a good war.
[00:42:25]  This is not a good war.
[00:42:26]  It's not a good war.
[00:42:27]  I don't know if there's such a thing as a good war, but this ain't one, so we wouldn't know based on this.
[00:42:33]  Well, you know, how's it going?
[00:42:35]  How's it going?
[00:42:36]  Some people are saying not to plan, not to plan, whether it's the unanticipated stranglehold that the Straits of Hormuz, yes, I'm saying it correctly, has created.
[00:42:47]  Although America now has access to Venezuelan oil, and that must surely be a help.
[00:42:52]  Or whether it's this kind of sort of general fatigue and dismay that's settling perhaps over America.
[00:42:57]  I know America's a very spirited land and a very spirited people, but surely, you know, I'm surrounded by Americans.
[00:43:02]  There's one over there, there's one over there.
[00:43:04]  I wonder if people that were generally supportive of Trump are wondering, well, you don't need to assess it.
[00:43:12]  You can look at the online space.
[00:43:13]  People that were very enthusiastic about Trump, Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, are sort of saying, God, this is not what we voted for.
[00:43:21]  Is it?
[00:43:21]  I mean, even with something that could be, if you were to look at ICE raids, you know, from a position of only compassion, I'm sure you would see things that would be pretty difficult.
[00:43:33]  For a loving human being to countenance, but you would at least be able to say, Well, Trump did say that in office he was going to boot out a bunch of people, and that's what the people that voted for Trump anticipated and wanted and agreed to.
[00:43:47]  But with the war in Iran, it's interesting.
[00:43:50]  And here's a video that helps me certainly to understand why it might be going the way that it is.
[00:43:56]  Although we live in this peculiar fragmented, fractured post truth time, and you could probably watch a bunch of content that tells you that the war's going really great.
[00:44:02]  Asymmetric warfare.
[00:44:04]  In simple terms, asymmetric warfare means fighting a stronger enemy by avoiding its strengths and attacking its weaknesses.
[00:44:10]  Rather than competing with American aircraft carriers and stealth bombers, Iran focused on cheaper, flexible weapons and tactics that are harder to stop.
[00:44:17]  One major part of this strategy is its investment in missiles and drones.
[00:44:20]  Instead of spending enormous amounts of money on modern fighter jets, Iran developed a large arsenal of ballistic missiles and long-range drones capable of striking targets across the region.
[00:44:30]  And in recent years, these drones have become one of Iran's most important strategic tools.
[00:44:34]  These low-cost attack drones can travel long distances and overwhelm air defense systems when launched in large numbers.
[00:44:40]  Recently Iran used waves of these drones to target military bases and infrastructure across several Gulf countries including the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.
[00:45:00]  The cost of engaging these drones far exceeded the cost of the drone itself.
[00:45:03]  So this way Iran is mathematically bleeding these rich Gulf countries.
[00:45:07]  Now another key pillar of Like that Dave mathematical bleeding You like things I had in you numbers numbers Dave talks numbers He was excited.
[00:45:16]  Oh, that's good.
[00:45:17]  It's mathematically bleeding win-win like the thing is is that one time me and Dave we was traveling through an airport and like Dave did something with numbers like worked out when something could happen historically based on very quick I said oh man.
[00:45:31]  I don't even think that language.
[00:45:32]  I have to go that's currently that's two trumps ago divided by Obama Yeah, like before Carter.
[00:45:38]  I had to work out in sort of weird images Yeah, you thought in presidential terms.
[00:45:43]  Yeah, like World Cups, four-year blocks, that's all I can handle.
[00:45:47]  Vague, vague descriptions.
[00:45:49]  However, though, I've had good cause to study the past pretty forensically, and I've had to get pretty good at it, as a matter of fact.
[00:45:56]  Let's carry on with this video.
[00:45:58]  It's very funny because that's like sponsoring Hezbollah and Hamas, and that's the detraction.
[00:46:12]  would agree with that.
[00:46:12]  They'd say Iran fund like terrorists, you know, wouldn't they?
[00:46:16]  That's what that's the positive spin on that.
[00:46:18]  We've got allies, armed allies in other countries.
[00:46:21]  But then like them kind of terms like terrorists, they don't stand to a lot of scrutiny, do they?
[00:46:25]  When you think about it.
[00:46:26]  Several countries, including Lebanon, Iraq, Syria and Yemen.
[00:46:30]  These groups act as Iran proxies and gives it influence far beyond its own borders.
[00:46:34]  And as a result of this strategy, in this ongoing Iran-Israel war, the pressure is appearing in many places at once.
[00:46:40]  Instead of one battlefield, there are several.
[00:46:42]  Similarly, geography also plays a crucial role in Iran's strategy.
[00:46:45]  Iran sits next to one of the most important waterways in the world, the Strait of Hormuz.
[00:46:49]  This narrow passage connects the Persian Gulf to the global ocean, and around 20% of the world's oil passes through it every day.
[00:46:56]  Iran has recently blocked this strait, and energy markets are already beginning to witness the impact of blocking this choke point.
[00:47:01]  Then Iran's naval strategy also reflects its asymmetric approach.
[00:47:05]  Instead of building a navy similar to the United States, Iran relies on smaller, faster boats, equipped with missiles and torpedoes.
[00:47:12]  In large numbers, these boats can move quickly and create difficult situations.
[00:47:17]  Little bit of coke, white jacket, rolled up to the elbow.
[00:47:24]  Bam, bam!
[00:47:25]  Looks like a cooler way to do warfare, I say.
[00:47:27]  Create difficult situations for larger ships operating in the confined waters of the Persian Gulf.
[00:47:32]  Finally, Iran's military structure is designed to keep functioning, even under heavy pressure.
[00:47:36]  The Islamic Revolution...
[00:47:37]  This guy likes Iran I feel like now like you know because he had George Clooney playing that Iranian general so like now it's I'm feeling I can see the biases I think this guy's just seconds away from going I fucking love Iran!
[00:47:49]  The Mick Revolutionary Guard Corps and its affiliated forces are all them soldiers are all handsome looking aren't they?
[00:47:55]  Affiliated forces are organized in ways that allow different units to operate independently and they're using a font out of train spotting independently if needed.
[00:48:03]  This decentralization means that even if some leaders or bases are targeted the broader network can continue functioning and this is exactly what is happening currently.
[00:48:11]  They're just so great.
[00:48:12]  Have you seen their hair and their moustaches?
[00:48:14]  They're fantastic guys.
[00:48:15]  I mean, you can't be partisan about any of it.
[00:48:17]  Again, what I do like is the principle of decentralization, that we're at a point where technology would facilitate maximal control over your own personal sovereignty, community and familial sovereignty.
[00:48:27]  Why spend all your time arguing about what amounts to Ewoks or cyborgs or some other sci-fi character's way of life millions of miles away, when in fact there's people 100 yards away from you starving to death, probably people in your own family addicted to meth?
[00:48:41]  Let's focus... and what we can actually do and what we can actually understand instead of trying to fight on this sort of global, ethereal plane the whole time.
[00:48:49]  I mean, even with the most serious issues that are happening right now, massacres, genocides, executions, what do you think you're going to do about it if you don't have control of your own, well, firstly consciousness, but then community, family, life?
[00:49:02]  It's a serious question.
[00:49:03]  It's happening currently.
[00:49:04]  The termination of Ayatollah Khamenei and other top leaders.
[00:49:08]  Try to vary the names of your Ayatollahs.
[00:49:11]  That I will say.
[00:49:12]  All their names say a bit like that.
[00:49:14]  I want Ayatollah Khamenei.
[00:49:15]  Ralph and Ayatollah Randy and Ayatollah Steve.
[00:49:19]  They're always called commonee, commoneye, commoneye.
[00:49:21]  They've all been called that my whole life.
[00:49:23]  And I think that's why I don't care when they kill them.
[00:49:25]  Ayatollah Kamenei and other top leadership had little impact.
[00:49:29]  We had to replace him with Ayatollah Kamino.
[00:49:32]  I mean, it's killed us.
[00:49:33]  Also in North Korea, that ain't it?
[00:49:35]  They lose King Yong-un.
[00:49:36]  Oh, Kim Yong-il waiting in the wings.
[00:49:38]  How can you get a hard-on for all these Kim Yongs?
[00:49:40]  Especially as they all look peculiar little things anyway, and they're funny little dumpling people.
[00:49:45]  Like, I just chew through them all.
[00:49:48]  Oh no, terrible news.
[00:49:49]  Atayola Komunai is dead.
[00:49:52]  Who's in now?
[00:49:53]  It's also someone whose name's more or less that.
[00:49:55]  Well, you know, who gives a fuck?
[00:49:57]  Had little impact on Iran's retaliation activities.
[00:49:59]  When all these elements come together, a clear strategy appears.
[00:50:02]  Iran's goal is not to defeat the United States in a traditional military sense.
[00:50:06]  Instead, its strategy focuses on making this war so complex, so costly, and so unpredictable that continuing the conflict becomes politically and economically difficult.
[00:50:15]  Terrific people, the Romans.
[00:50:17]  Terrific people.
[00:50:18]  It's like that person hung upside down in Life of Brian.
[00:50:21]  You lucky, lucky bastard.
[00:50:24]  Oh, the Iranians.
[00:50:25]  Oh, what wouldn't I give to be fighting on the Strait of Hormuz?
[00:50:29]  My dear Evan is to be allowed to engage in nautical guerrilla warfare with a bloody great big aircraft carrier.
[00:50:36]  Shut up!
[00:50:38]  It's proper John Cleese turf, that.
[00:50:40]  Proper, proper Monty Python territory.
[00:50:43]  So, there you go.
[00:50:44]  It turns out that the Iran war is not going as predicted or preempted.
[00:50:49]  Your president there, Trump, is calling out my little old country, UK, for.
[00:50:54]  In these words, being a bit too gay, is that the right word?
[00:50:58]  Being too gay and not fighting in wars.
[00:51:00]  But I mean, come on, America, we've done those first two serious wars.
[00:51:03]  We did the hard part without you.
[00:51:05]  Hegzef has called for allies, that's us, the UK, to step up.
[00:51:10]  Step on up over the Strait of Hormuz.
[00:51:12]  Step it up.
[00:51:13]  I think the president was clear this morning in his truth that there are countries around the world.
[00:51:19]  I see Hegzef.
[00:51:20]  I think there's a man who puts aftershave on his scrotum.
[00:51:23]  That's it.
[00:51:24]  That's all I think.
[00:51:25]  Aftershave on the scrotum.
[00:51:27]  So that should be enough to cover that story.
[00:51:32]  If Iran is wise, it will cut a deal.
[00:51:33]  Now, I bet he's tasty in a fight.
[00:51:35]  I would not want to fight Pete Hexev one-on-one.
[00:51:37]  I think he's a good fighter, so this was not an invitation to a fight.
[00:51:40]  I'm just saying, I can imagine him sort of going like, okay, Hexev, big day today, and then, like playing the downstairs bongos.
[00:51:53]  Playing his own balls like bongos, you know?
[00:51:57]  Okay, beating out the war drum.
[00:51:58]  Hey, and then hey, and then hey, and then we.
[00:52:01]  Yeah, we're praying this morning.
[00:52:03]  We're praying the prayer of let's kill everybody prayer.
[00:52:06]  They're from the book of kill the fuck out of everyone.
[00:52:10]  He's eating lobsters while he's praying.
[00:52:14]  Crunching his way through the shellfish.
[00:52:16]  Splashing Aramis on his recently shaved nut bag.
[00:52:20]  Look, I'm not attacking him.
[00:52:21]  He don't need my support.
[00:52:24]  He's doing a great job.
[00:52:26]  He's doing a great job.
[00:52:28]  Let's see what the Pope's got to say, though.
[00:52:30]  Oh, Pope, you've got an American Pope now.
[00:52:32]  That's good.
[00:52:34]  God rejects the prayers of those who wage war.
[00:52:39]  The message of Pope Leo's Palm Sunday Mass was unusually forceful.
[00:52:46]  Brothers and sisters, this is our God, Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, who no one can use to justify war.
[00:53:00]  He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war.
[00:53:04]  But rejects them, saying, Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen.
[00:53:10]  Your hands are full of blood.
[00:53:16]  Although the Lord, he makes some pretty interesting moves back in, I don't know, Nebuchadnezzar or whatever.
[00:53:23]  You just don't know what the Lord will do.
[00:53:25]  His ways are not our ways, our thoughts are not his thoughts.
[00:53:28]  I would say, let's just try to operate on the principles that we can understand simple principles, compassion, love.
[00:53:36]  Infinite creativity.
[00:53:37]  These are definitely attributes of the Lord.

=== Bullshit Defensive War (07:43) ===

[00:53:39]  My country, the UK though, baffled and confused, extra British troops and more UK air defence systems will be deployed to the Middle East for defensive action.
[00:53:47]  I love that.
[00:53:47]  That's what my country does.
[00:53:48]  It's like, these are only for defensive actions though.
[00:53:51]  That's Kissed Armour I'm doing an impersonation of.
[00:53:54]  They won't, if there's an extra, and that actually, when you hear people that have been in like hot military situations, they are actually trying to use this kind of bureaucratic mad managerialism in wars.
[00:54:06]  Like, listen, you're only to back up Iraq.
[00:54:09]  Against ISIS.
[00:54:10]  If there's a fight, Navy SEALs, just stand back and shout encouragement.
[00:54:15]  But imagine if you're a Navy SEAL, you're like, I'm going to fuck these guys up.
[00:54:18]  I've been training for this.
[00:54:19]  Like, it's not easy.
[00:54:21]  And that's what they'll be doing with the paras and all these beautiful service people out of your country and out of mine getting sent off to some bullshit war.
[00:54:30]  And they're all bullshit, actually.
[00:54:31]  They're all bullshit because they wouldn't do them if they had to fight in them.
[00:54:36]  In most cases, I know HexF's done active service, so you've got to give him a little bit of grace for that, surely.
[00:54:42]  Cologne.
[00:54:43]  Drenched nutbag aside, look.
[00:54:45]  But when it comes to these actual, the actual business of war, these uh, peculiar limited warfare edicts are ways of fooling ourselves.
[00:54:54]  I suppose Uk personnel involved in the defense of the Gulf and Cyprus to around a thousand people who could die as a result of this madness on a trip to the Gulf Nations defense secretary John Healy said extra air defense teams and systems would be deployed to Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Kuwait, while the use of typhoon jets in Qatar will be extended.
[00:55:13]  My message, i've got a message.
[00:55:16]  Everyone thinks they're really important, don't they?
[00:55:17]  Look, here's what he is.
[00:55:18]  My message to Golf partners is Britain's best will help you defend your skies, he said.
[00:55:25]  Okay.
[00:55:26]  The UK's position on the war in the Middle East is to participate in defensive action, but US President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticised the stance.
[00:55:31]  Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Monday, the UK's not going to get dragged into this war, but will continue to defend its interests in the region.
[00:55:40]  That's what's happening there.
[00:55:42]  Imagine if you use the technology that's being used right now on Polymarket to aggregate data or any one of a number of apps that you hold in the palm of your hand, like some novel murder device in a mad public execution.
[00:55:54]  If you were to use the technology on your phone to run your community, if the principle was massively Maximal decentralization.
[00:56:02]  What wither then, John Healy?
[00:56:04]  Wither then your war in Iran?
[00:56:07]  Why not?
[00:56:08]  Please explain to me, have a situation where of absolute referenda, like in Switzerland.
[00:56:14]  In Switzerland, God love them with their cuckoo clocks and their Toblerones and their Nazi gold.
[00:56:19]  They have four major referenda a year where they say to the population of Switzerland, these are some of the policies.
[00:56:24]  What do you guys want to do?
[00:56:25]  Now, you might as well say, well, Switzerland is not a player on the world stage.
[00:56:28]  Well, is that what you want?
[00:56:30]  Like, player on the world stage?
[00:56:31]  Like, participating in these terrible, terrible wars, facilitating genocides, living in a mad and pointless, senseless, ongoing global experiment, is that what you want?
[00:56:43]  Is your patriotism so rich, so bound in your blood, that you would let it drown out the voice of common sense in your head that tells you this is a bullshit game?
[00:56:54]  It's a bullshit game.
[00:56:56]  You can be free.
[00:56:57]  You can be free.
[00:56:59]  You are already free.
[00:57:00]  You don't have to participate in this.
[00:57:02]  We could have, using polymarket-style technology, and they'll be pleased with this because I'm advertising them to the absolute hilt here, is that very technology could be used to say, do you want a war with Iran?
[00:57:12]  Yes or no?
[00:57:13]  No.
[00:57:14]  Right, we're not having a war with Iran then.
[00:57:16]  We're not going to stand around pretending we're cleverer than you for some weird reason.
[00:57:20]  I'm cleverer than you.
[00:57:21]  Go on, talk me through that.
[00:57:23]  Whoa, look at me.
[00:57:24]  I went to this school or that school.
[00:57:26]  It'll come down to this or that or charisma or some bullshit when the fact is that most of you will not benefit from there being a war with Iran.
[00:57:33]  Most of you have not benefited from the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
[00:57:37]  Most of you did not benefit from Vietnam or Korea or Afghanistan, but let me tell you who did benefit.
[00:57:43]  Guess what?
[00:57:44]  Hang on to your hat, kids.
[00:57:45]  It's the very people who were telling you that you should have all of those wars.
[00:57:49]  Now, I'm sure that's some sort of wacky, crazy old coincidence.
[00:57:54]  I'm sure that's a conspiracy theory.
[00:57:56]  I'm sure the fact that it's been long iterated in various policies from Kissinger through Cheney, all the way through the great, and I use great inverted commas, statesmen of your great, there are no inverted commas, nation.
[00:58:08]  You've been told that war is good and war is good for the people, that it's good for, in the same way that all crisis is good for the people, that and the institutions at the upper echelons of society.
[00:58:17]  Therefore, we must decouple ourselves from their destiny, and the only way to do that is through becoming empowered through God, because otherwise you won't have this personal strength to die for what you believe in.
[00:58:27]  But that's just why I think let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
[00:58:31]  Certainly the United Kingdom aren't gonna get it up enough to, You know, oppose evil or oppose death Or destruction.
[00:58:39]  Let me know what you think, though, in the comments and chat.
[00:58:41]  And well done.
[00:58:41]  You're doing good work in those comments.
[00:58:42]  Jake was telling me just now there's a lot going on because someone's doing a lot of conspiracy type stuff, but the community's really managing itself well.
[00:58:51]  Is that right, Jake?
[00:58:52]  Yep, we've got a battle going on right now.
[00:58:55]  There's a battle.
[00:58:55]  There's a battle in the comments.
[00:58:57]  There's a stray of hummus in the comments.
[00:58:59]  Someone named Ashley.
[00:59:00]  Hello, darling.
[00:59:02]  Ashley Taylor.
[00:59:03]  Hello, Ashley Taylor.
[00:59:05]  She thinks you're a pedo.
[00:59:07]  Well, actually, that's simply not true, Ashley.
[00:59:09]  And there's no moral reason behind that.
[00:59:12]  It's simply.
[00:59:13]  Not my cup of tea.
[00:59:15]  Simply not my cup of tea.
[00:59:17]  She thinks that you knew Epstein as well.
[00:59:19]  Oh, no, I never knew Epstein.
[00:59:21]  It's a good job, though, because if Epstein had ever said to old Russ, hey, Want to go, I mean, let alone a free island full of what I'm sure he sold to the participants as willing sexual partners, although it seems that some of those sexual partners were actual, literal children.
[00:59:37]  And a lot of the women there were raped.
[00:59:40]  You know, I'm sure when they were all going there, you know the list is publicly available.
[00:59:45]  Some of the most powerful people in the world who are just carrying on with their lives right now.
[00:59:49]  I'm sure that at least a significant number of them weren't told, this is Nonceville, Ireland, Ireland of the pedos.
[00:59:55]  I'm sure they were told it's just a lovely holiday with a nice weird cube on it.
[00:59:59]  That weird cubular ceramic temple thing.
[01:00:02]  That in itself seems well worth a visit.
[01:00:04]  But oh, Jeffrey, is he dead?
[01:00:06]  Is he alive?
[01:00:06]  Is he that guy in Santa Monica?
[01:00:08]  No one knows.
[01:00:09]  The footage was not found.
[01:00:11]  So hey, well done in the comments.
[01:00:13]  Keep your conversations going.
[01:00:14]  And yeah, feel free to.
[01:00:16]  Man, if I was a person that was killed by accusation, you'd be looking at an empty chair right now, let me tell you, darling.

[01:00:42]  But to take us out, guys, here's Trump talking about Iran's oil on ABC in 1987.
[01:00:48]  I've not watched this yet, but it seems like evidence of extraordinary perspicacity from Nostra Trumpus.
[01:00:54]  Yeah, that's the pun I'm making.
[01:00:57]  Because I'm running for the presidency.
[01:00:58]  I'm here because.
[01:01:00]  I'm personally tired of seeing this great country of ours being ripped off.
[01:01:04]  But as far as Trump is concerned, our allies are only part of the problem.
[01:01:08]  The real culprit is Iran.
[01:01:10]  Why couldn't we go in and take over some of their oil, which is along the sea?
[01:01:15]  How would you do that?
[01:01:16]  Would you send in the Marines?
[01:01:17]  Would you take a chance?
[01:01:18]  I mean, he's adorable, isn't he, in a way, Trump.
[01:01:21]  And I did hear from someone who sort of like knew people around him.
