“HE WASN’T ACTING ALONE!” - Dan Bongino DESTROYS SECRET SERVICE At Trump J13 Hearing - SF 441
01:00:15 Share

Hello you awakening wonders there on Spotify, Apple, Stink Whistle, Gurgle Dot or wherever you download your podcasts these days to remain at least peripherally connected to some tendril of truth in a bewildering miasma of

of lies and propaganda. We appreciate you and we love you. You're part of our community. So that's why we're very happy to give you an audio version of our live Rumble show five days a week. It's on Monday to Friday. We decipher the latest news stories. We break down current topics that the mainstream media should be covering and if they aren't,

then we critique why they're not and what they are covering. Every week as well, right, we do brilliant conversations with people like Jordan Peterson, RFK, Tucker, Carlson, Sam Harris, Vandana Shiva, Gabor Mate. These things are already up and you can listen to them now. So remember, this is an audio version of our daily live show. To tune in live, go to rumble.com forward slash Russell Brand. You'll find it easily and I hope that you will love it.

Now, please enjoy this episode of Stay Free with Russell Brand. Thanks. Hello there, you awakening wonders. Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand. How great it is to be joined by you on another extraordinary day in the approach

to the election. How are you getting on in the Rumble Chat, Carl Rhino and Liquor Giant? We've got some good stuff to cover from Bongino's testimony that I think you're going to be pretty interested in, as well as looking at some more revelations from Bobby Kennedy, some interesting revelations

I'll just call them, I suppose, reflections on what the Zuckerberg position indicates. The sound low, guys, on the mic, if you wouldn't mind addressing that. Thank you. Have you got that note, please? Got it. Thank you, mate. Thank you. And it'll be fantastic for us to discover together. That's my dog in the background, man.

discover together what we can take from the cross-party endorsements about which the Democrats are so proud. Okay guys, let's fix my collar. What's wrong with my collar? Thank you. Yeah, good point. Very good point. Thank you. Okay, let's get into it. Firstly, this is what Callie Means has sort of posted recently.

What do you want? These are actually snacks that are available from Rumble. Actually, come on, let's do this now. It's a great opportunity to do it. Rumble make these snacks, you see, and they are available for your pets to see how this goes over with him. He's sniffing it. He's examining it. He's taken it.

What an extraordinary moment that is. This is a brand called Positive. It's a pet food brand that Rumble have. But also they have a pet insurance that is an affiliate to it. You know, like dogs can go from very high energy to being sick in an instant. And you know, it's like if you have to call a vet, like...

when they're out of hours. It's a terrible way to manage your dog's health, not to mention it can be very stressful for you. So there's this emergency pet kit that you can get from Pawsitive Health, which contains critical medications and supplies that can keep you out of it and maybe even save your dog's life. So if you want to use it, go to Pawsitive, that's spelled like P-A-W, pawssitive.com/brand. That's pawssitive.com/brand.

Go to Pawsitive dot com slash brand and use the code brand to get 15% off. I like these rumble connected organizations because they've been so supportive, good boy, so supportive to our channel.

It's great to give a little bit back. There it is. That's that. Now here, check this out. This is a Cali Means post. You know, like Bobby Kennedy said, I think just conversationally, that 50% of the US FDA's budget comes from pharma. And then the agency released an official statement saying it's only 47%. But of course, when it comes to the department within the FDA that controls drugs, it's actually 75%.

percent of their funding so it's actually even worse and how ridiculous of the fda to complain that they're being misrepresented when it's you know when someone says oh 50 their funding comes from big pharma when it's in fact 47 it's just it's just not a big enough difference is it okay now listen this is a pretty significant story if you ask me

We are in the very midst of a tidal wave of propaganda inviting us to perceive Kamala Harris as Barack Obama part two for us to celebrate the growth of America as a nation and as a republic because now people of color have gone from Jim Crow and the indignity and horror and evil of slavery to being in positions of political power.

It's been remarked before that Barack Obama did not exactly make America a better place for low-income Americans or Americans of color, but he in fact was in a sense a perfect product act.

a magnificent product. And the very people that might say, how could you promote this delicious pet food? Will promote political ideologies that are deeply insidious and nefarious. This take by Chris Hedges, the Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, is a

excellent in his takedown of Barack Obama and how Obama voted every single time. Because when we're looking at the election in November, I'm sure some of us, you know, me, I find it very difficult not to get deluged by the overstimulating campaigns and propaganda. I tend towards anti-establishment thinking. I always have. I'm very sort of cynical when the media tell me to do something. I'm very cynical when the media tell me to hate someone. I'm very

cynical when there's a global campaign telling you to get in your house and take medicine and stuff like that. You know, so,

I have an advantage there. I guess I've just sort of been coached that way by life and by circumstance. I've been trained to be cynical. Maybe you have as well. Maybe that's why even if you're watching this on YouTube now, then maybe that's why you'll click the link in the description and join us over on Rumble because Rumble's made a commitment to free speech and not to censor except for when what you say is a transgression of already existing laws, which to me seems like a

pretty sensible way to go about things. Anyway, the Kamala campaign are super excited that they've got what you might call legacy Republicans like Bush or Romney staffers or McCain staffers, John McCain, God rest his soul, of course he's dead, but

They're excited by the idea that centrist Republicans are in support of their movement. But what is their movement about? What does it stand for? What does it mean? You know that my position is that the greater threat to America and therefore the world is not the idea of the populist strongman who many, many liberals, many, many members of the metropolitan professional classes that are so influential in media

are coaching us the fear. No, it's a far greater threat, the threat of technological feudalism, where you're being told that you will be protected, that in order to protect you, we have to censor this information. In order to protect you, you have to go inside your homes. In order to protect you, you have to trust their propaganda, that this billionaire is good and this billionaire is bad. And in this instance, it's necessary to take someone off the ballot

And in this instance, it's impossible to take someone off the ballot. We are beginning to see in real, livid, lurid time the nature of their hypocrisy. It cannot be concealed forever. That's why it's important to remember that Barack Obama was a candidate that I was excited by, a brilliant orator, a charismatic leader. But how did he behave? How did he vote? What did he stand for?

Was he, as some have said, truly the representative of financial elites who used many of his God-given abilities to serve those interests? Let's look at Chris Hedges' analysis before looking at how the Democratic Party movement is using the endorsement of legacy Republicans and legacy Republican staffers to bolster their appeal, perhaps precisely because they are

losing the propaganda war. Let's look at what Chris, first of all, what Chris Hedges says. It's pretty damning and forthright. Why are so many progressives and leftists going for Kamala?

You know, a fear of Trump because they're swayed by the bombardment of propaganda. A lot of it's woke politics because she's a woman of color. Although, you know, we should have gotten over that with Obama, who, as Cornel West said, was just a black mascot for Wall Street. She was a cop.

basically and served the interests of law enforcement when she was attorney general in California. When Obama ran, Dennis Kucinich printed out and gave me a copy of Obama's voting record. He said, you got to read this because it's every corporate giveaway that's possible.

And Dennis said that when he went to go to baseball games at Cleveland, the ushers would go up and down and he would say, "Get the scorecard, get the scorecard." And said, "That's the scorecard. This is the scorecard. It's all that matters. All the hundreds of millions of dollars they invest in propaganda is essentially an effort to divert you from looking at the scorecard." And her scorecard's abysmal. That's, of course, why she's done a noise.

extraordinary scorecard yeah how have they been governing what does it make you feel when biden remember that guy says we beat big pharma this year and what he's actually referring to is limited price controls on a particular set of medicines how do you feel that the pandemic era has already been ushered off into the deep annals of barely accessible memory don't you think in a sane

and sensible society, this will be seen as a referendum, this forthcoming election on the pandemic. Don't you think that we should be able to hold on to the memory of the propaganda, the censorship, the deception, the lies, the authoritarianism, the plainly global hue of the top

down authority and if it was just a one-off example that would make sense in the context of a pandemic, you know, a pandemic is a global issue and requires a global response, then what do you imagine is happening in censorship which similarly appears to be being maneuvered and manipulated at the global level? What's happening in agriculture when it seems that the control of our food is also happening at a global level when

farmers are being impoverished and broken down when farmland is being acquired when it seems to me although it would be difficult of taking a little while to demonstrate entirely that our food sources seeds nature herself are being

being colonized and plundered and controlled. It's important to listen to significant voices like Vandana Shiva, an important voice in that topic, as surely as Kali means, has become a great influence when it comes to openness and transparency in the food industry. Let's have a look now at how certain legacy Republicans endorsements is being used as if it's a powerful boost to the Democratic Party campaign, to the Kamala campaign, as if we

As if we should somehow forget that the names Bush, Cheney, et al. were once redolent with blood. With blood and the deceptions of weapons of mass destruction that were never found. Here's a post by David Sachs on X.

George W. Bush, McCain and Romney lied us into Iraq and pointlessly killed five million in those wars. It could be the most disgusting thing the US has ever done. The fact these warmongers support Harris should tell you everything. Democrats are the party of unjust government power. Let me know what you think about that in the Rumble chat. Let me know what you think about that. Awaken wonders like Jim Earthsea and

Miss Mollie. And let's have a look at a legacy media piece of reporting on these endorsements. Okay, more than 200 Republicans who worked for three of the most recent GOP nominees prior to former President Trump are now endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris. Yes, the Democrat. In a letter, the 238 Republicans, which includes staffers from former President George W. Bush's White House and Senators John McCain and Mitt Romney's presidential campaigns, urge

urge more moderate Republicans and independents to, quote, take a brave stand once more. The group builds on a smaller set of about 150 Republicans who pledged to support then candidate Biden back in 2020. And it comes after a Democratic convention that included conservatives like former Congressman Adam Kinzinger

speaking to common values that transcend party. The letter further states, quote, Of course, we have plenty of honest ideological disagreements with Vice President Harris and Governor Walz. That's to be expected. The alternative, however, is simply untenable at

At home, another four years of Donald Trump's chaotic leadership, this time focused on advancing the dangerous goals of Project 2025, will hurt real everyday people and waken our sacred institutions.

Project 2025 at our sacred institutions Why don't you forget that you're alive and consume all of their ablutions washing away your intelligence with the soap of their propagandist lies So odd isn't it that they continue to amplify hysteria which is the only state in which you would consider imbibing this Kool-Aid

kamala campaign which seems built not on substance not on policy only the relentless advancement of authoritarianism in a materialistic and godless attempt to defibrillate further the idea that superficial indicators of equality or been enough for you and for many people it seems like it it is enough to say that this is a woman of color and like i've said to you before all things being equal that would be

a kind of indication of a certain type of progress, that would be great. But surely we can all now see that what we are being invited to perpetuate are institutions that use a very, very powerful word like sacred

in order to mask its insidious opposite, total corruption, total control. Look at how the media are being used. Look at how extraordinarily compliant they are. Look how compliant they've been since the disaster of the Biden-Trump debate. How exciting the next debates will be. How extraordinary it will be to watch how that

unfolds. Note how the judiciary has been exploited and deployed. Note how even an issue like who can be on ballots and who can't be on ballots, you'll note that they're saying, oh, it's impossible to get Bobby Kennedy off them ballots. You know, he's going to probably take some votes off of Trump, but that's the

price of living in a free society. Cornel West though, an independent who might take votes from them, they're scrambling and scrabbling to get that dude off the ballot. As

we often observe here there are no principles there is only utility there is no heartfelt forthright strident belief to which you can have constant recourse what is it we believe in is it service is it kindness is it compassion is it that the word minister like administer or prime minister

Or government minister means to serve? Has the very idea of service been lost? Are we facing something far more ontologically profound

as to whether or not we invoke a Republican MAGA candidate, albeit one that now is beginning to assemble an Avengers-like cast around him of decent Democrats and fine, fiery independents like Bobby Kennedy. And it's ridiculous to say that the Kennedy name has no association with the Democrat Party, particularly when you think of what the Democratic Party used to mean and what it used to represent.

So what I would invite you to do is consider very carefully about who you vote for, what you watch and what you believe in. But that's just why I think, why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat. If you're watching us on YouTube, click the link in the description because we are going to be talking about Dan

Bongino's recent appearance. If you don't know who, start the timer please, if you don't know who Dan Bongino is, then you should learn all about Dan because he's a pretty fascinating pundit and commentator and his perspective on the Secret Service is particularly valuable given that he's a veteran of the Secret Service himself and a former cop

And his testimony in a recent hearing has given us some incredible new insights on the Trump assassination attempt and the problems within the Secret Service that might mean a comparable event could occur again. If you're on YouTube, click the link in the description. Get on over to Rumble so we can continue.

freely together before we get into that of course you know we cannot make this content without the contributions from our partners we've got very good partners here and we're going to bring you a message from one of them right now uh yeah you'll love this in fact i'll be back to you i'll give you that message

in a moment as a matter of fact. What I'd like to talk to you about now. Oh yeah, this is good. Like Mark Zuckerberg's recent admission. Mark Zuckerberg's recent admission.

That he censored information that he should not have censored, that he took the lead of the FBI, which many of us were talking about at the time. Many people were saying that the Hunter Biden laptop story was being repressed, that it amounted to election interference because it would have made a significant difference in significant states. Many people were deeply concerned, more concerned even than the outcomes and impact of the Hunter Biden laptop story about what took place during the pandemic.

how legitimate scientific voices were censored and controlled, how ordinary people's testimony of adverse events as a result of taking those extraordinary medications was shut down. Well now Mark Zuckerberg

is himself on board with the misinformation because he has acknowledged that deep state interests were guiding his decision, or at least those that work for him at Facebook when it came to censorship and shutting down posts. Now I wonder,

what this admission means. Does it mean, as Charlie Kirk said, that perhaps he's had a look at the way that the wind is blowing, the way that the data is flowing, and realized that he's likely to have to deal with a Republican Trump candidate in just a matter of months and he might need to get his house in order? Or is it a deeper spiritual transformation? Why don't you guys let me know in the chat what you think. Let's have a look

at the uh let's have a look at this morning joke clip just to remind us of how furiously and how passionately the legacy media went out to bat for censorship and control and how they denied that the hunter biden lapstop story was true and god you know how they behaved during the pandemic and talk about facebook having problems and twitter having problems with a story

that even the New York Post knew was a lie. They published a series of lies, penned them by Rudy Giuliani, who admitted that nobody else would take it but Rupert Murdoch's New York Post, because they might look into it and tell the truth. Here we are in 2020. This is what it's come down to, America. Giuliani is feeding Russian misinformation

to Donald Trump and feeding Russian disinformation to the New York Post. They know it's a lie. Yeah, well, then that's where we are in 2020. Just to let you know that they're still talking to Russians. And by the way,

Russian hoax, come on. Really, seriously, history will expose you all as fools and useful idiots for the Russians. It's for four years now.

for four years now. There has been a line from Russian agents into the campaign. It's unbelievable how stupid you think Americans are, how stupid you think Americans are. For you can just say, "Russian hoax." Seriously?

The idiocy, the sheer idiocy. You are revealed right now, but you will be revealed throughout history for basically running cover for Russians. And you've got this computer repair shop owner in Delaware who is a staunch Trump supporter and who peddles in conspiracy theories and whose shop is thousands of miles away from where Hunter buys

Biden lives. So you got a lot of questions here. This whole thing smells bad, Joe. I

I don't think there's a lot of credence. That's why the FBI is questioning not the Bidens, but Rudy Giuliani. And I think the message here, the lesson here is that if you're going to plan an October surprise, you may want to choose a planner who is not parading around the world with a known Russian secret agent for the last year. Maybe choose a planner that has better peer reviews next time.

So this looks like Russian intelligence, this walks like Russian intelligence, this sounds like Russian intelligence. Every intelligence professional I've been talking to, Mika, says this is a Russian intelligence disinformation campaign. Rudy Giuliani was not fed passively Russian disinformation.

He ordered off the menu. So do they look into how two weeks, two and a half weeks before an election, someone decided to use a tabloid to in all probability know that they were smearing a major candidate against a president that this tabloid was supporting and whether or not that would fall under a criminal investigation leading to some kind of criminal charges.

I wonder why this admission is taking place now as opposed from Charlie Kirk on the amount of access that Zuckerberg has to data and this is not likely to be a mere culprit but just a oh no mere in a lot of trouble if the Republicans win the election in a couple of months.

what does Musk have to say, is simply concerned by the entire affair. And indeed it is concerning. Michael Schellenberger knows all about this, being one of the first Twitter files journalists to get access to what was going on when it came to the revelations that took place after Musk's own

acquisition of the platform then Twitter Now X when stories about deep state engagement meddling and censorship were novel before we'd had the time to absorb them and accept it as just part of life before we'd come to terms with the fact that the Supreme Court would back the government as they continue to censor and control true information do you imagine for a moment that they're not doing it right now

when it comes to stories that might be beneficial to the Kamala campaign or stories that might be detrimental to Trump and his growing alliance with interesting political figures. What does it make you feel when you know that you're consuming a great deal of contemporary negative propaganda continually? How do these big tech and in particular social media platforms align with government interests? It seems like

a total alignment. Yeah, and people in the Awake and Wonder chat, I'm talking to you, C. Stephens5, are pointing out that Pavel Durov has just been arrested in France. So it seems in the world of big tech, there's good big tech and there's bad big tech. There's good billionaires and there's bad billionaires.

The continual theme is compliance. If you are willing to amplify the message of the powerful, if you are willing to contribute to their maintenance of their systems of control, you will be okay. But if you oppose them, wherever you sit in the spectrum, you will experience their ire and likely experience what happens when they turn their various institutions against you. But that's just what I think. Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.

Zuckerberg's letter went further than what he told Joe Rogan in 2022, because he specifically mentioned Burisma, the Ukrainian natural gas company that Hunter Biden worked for. Zuckerberg wrote, "The FBI warned us about a potential Russian disinformation operation about the Biden family and Burisma in the lead up to the 2020 election."

Do you know what we need? We need someone else in charge of the CIA.

RFK, a man whose uncle and father were potentially murdered as a result of deep state plots. Could it happen? We'll be having a look at that in a moment. But here, first of all, is a message from one of our partners. Now, the war against free speech

is in full swing. We are the Vanguard bravely fighting back. Rumble's the home of this channel, Stay Free, and a leader in defending the fundamental human right of free speech. They've joined X to sue a cartel of advertisers and ad agencies who conspire to block ad revenue from going to the platforms.

You might be aware that Dunkin Donuts, little old Dunkin Donuts didn't want to advertise on Rumble because of what they called right-wing culture. Well, let me tell you this, I don't believe in any wing. You know what I believe in? I believe in total freedom, I believe in decentralization, and I believe in radical spiritual change. Now, Rumble have rallied around these issues. Recently, they've launched Rumble Premium.

This, I think, is going to be a game changer for all of us. It's an ad-free viewing experience with great perks for viewers and creators. Now, you all know there's some fantastic and extraordinary advertisements on Rumble, right? But Rumble Premium will give you the ability to dive into your favorite content on your mobile or desktop or smart TV and savor every uninterrupted second.

of my content why don't you upgrade to rumble premium today support my free speech and the free speech of other content creators on this platform please go to rumble now rumble.com premium and if you use the code brand you'll save ten dollars and rumble will be aware that our stream is creating great converts so that's rumble.com premium and do use the code brand to save

$10, we're gonna do it now. I'm gonna get Rumble Premium. I'm gonna do it on Mindfire. I'm not great with tech, but anyway, there's a link there at the bottom of the screen now. We're posting it in the chat. Join up, it's the way to handle it. Oh, listen, I'm gonna have to do this on mine, I can't. I'm not a great multitasker. I'll level with you. I mean, even this single task is a challenge.

Now, we've been speaking for a while about corruption within the deep state, censorship, extraordinary theatrical constructed events, false flag events, the FBI or CIA agents inserted into crowds to cause, participate, maybe cause insurrections. Is it time for the CIA to face a reckoning? Is it

time that the deep state is confronted we know do you remember that brilliant bit of new york times propaganda i'm a member of the deep state and i'm a nice person they showed sort of like the sort of humble pin pushers and poindexters of the deep state they're just men and women like

you and I, and of course human beings are everywhere and all human beings are sinners and all human beings are forgiven and all human beings are redeemed. But when it comes to systems and institutions that exert incredible and unwarranted control over your life and my life and over our collective freedom, the CIA has got to be right up there. What could be better then than the idea of RFK, a man who's got to have skin in the game because it's likely that he's

uncle, John F. Kennedy, and his own father, Robert Kennedy Sr., were murdered as a result of CIA plots. Certainly, that's what he believes. So, would you like to see Bobby Kennedy as the head of the CIA? Is such a thing even possible? Is this the type of reckoning these desacralized institutions within American political power, and therefore global political power, require? I

I believe it could be the solution that we are looking for. So let's have a look at Bobby Kennedy saying that he doesn't think it's likely, but I'd like it. Would you like it? I'd like it. Would you like it? - The CA, I mean, a lot of roads lead back, unfortunately.

to our most powerful intelligence agency. If you were asked, would you run it? Would you become CIA director if you were asked? I would never get, yes I would, but I would never get Senate confirmation. As you know, the intelligence agency are protected by very, very powerful committees in the Senate and in the House that are already into the project. And the people who serve on those committees are

are people who wouldn't, they would not, they're just safeguarding that directorship. And I would be very, very dangerous for those committees. So I don't think that- - And yet in your joint appearance on Friday, President Trump introduced you by saying that he plans to, if elected,

establish a commission to declassify the remaining documents around your uncle's murder in 1963. Yeah. And I think everyone at this point knows the truth, which is the CIA is implicated in that. Those documents protect CIA, maybe among others. Well, whether they do or not, it's odd that they've not allowed him to be released. What could possibly be the explanation? More than 60 years after my uncle's death, almost 65 years, 62 years after his death.

And none of the people who were implicated in that crime are alive now. The last ones have died off in the last year or two.

And so it clearly is to protect the institution. Yes. And that's wrong. It is wrong. And it's wrong for a Democrat and it's wrong for Republicans. It's just interesting, though, that a bipartisan list of presidents, lo, these six decades have kept those files classified. Well, you and I have both. I was astonished that Trump

didn't declassify him because he promised to during the campaign. - That was Mike Pompeo who did that. - Yeah, and that, I talked to President Trump for the first time about that this week. - What'd he say? - He said that Mike Pompeo begged him to, and I don't think I'm telling tales out of school here. - No, I think why-- - He told the same thing to you. - That's true.

But he said Mike Pompeo called him and said this wouldn't be a catastrophe to release, you need to not do it. And then, you know. - I wanna say again, I think Mike Pompeo is a criminal. So that's my view. He's threatened to sue me for saying that, but I hope he will because it's true. But that kind of tells the whole story right there.

right that the CIA is... Why would the CIA be trying to keep these files classified if they had nothing to do with the murder? I don't really get that. It's an extraordinary point and it's an extraordinary moment. Honestly, I would be so fascinated to communicate directly with

Democratic Party advocates. I guess that's what I've got to start having on the show. We've got to start talking to people that believe that Kamala Harris represents change. The people that belong to elite institutions, people who are financially dependent on the maintenance of the professional metropolitan class that appear to benefit from, you know, the new conservatism. I don't mean conservatism as in cultural conservatism or traditionalism.

I mean the sense that we want things to stay the same. Conservatism for me now means progressivism, individualism, materialism, the idea that technology will solve our problems, that we're here to consume, a kind of nihilistic belief that there is no afterlife, no for life, no reason for living, no God, no true beauty other than the symmetry that occurs arbitrarily, apparently through some fractal

tactile tumble of deracinated mathematics, that there is no glory, that there is no God, that there is no reason to have principles. I have so many friends that still advocate for, say, Keir Starmer and the Centrist Labour Party or Kamala Harris, but usually this advocacy is born in my country of a

hatred of the previous government, the Tory party, the Conservatives, that's our sort of version of the Republicans. I've got to tell you, they were pretty appalling. They did have literal parties during COVID. They are dreadfully corrupt. They do deeply loathe ordinary people. And

in your country, the United States of America, it seems that the ongoing hysteria and hatred of Donald Trump, everything he touches and the MAGA movement. And I would say that perhaps the ulterior thread that undergirds that is a suspicion and loathing of

I'm going to have to say ordinary Americans of all colors, the kind of loathing that is encapsulated in a phrase like basket of deplorables, that kind of reflex disdain for those of you that might happily wear

and make America a great again hat. Do send your picture wearing your MAGA hat in the Rumble chat if you have one. I know that one of the people that works here proudly wears one. I'm looking for the birth of a political movement that can include Tulsi Gabbard, RFK, that does recognize that when it comes to cultural life, religious life, ideological life, spiritual life, individual freedom, the function of the government is to protect

and to serve, that the role of people in positions of government is a subordinate position of service. Now, Donald Trump's face is not the first one that comes to mind when you think of a subservient leader. And indeed, for me, this is not the perfect election, but it couldn't be more perfect in so much as I don't vote in American elections because I'm not an American citizen.

What I see vividly and clearly, and what I'd like to invite people who still vehemently oppose Trump to see, is that we have in new corporatism, new globalism, new technology, new nihilism, new loathing of nature of humankind and of the family and many of our sacred institutions that claims to be built upon compassion but is built instead on a kind of dark nihilism, we have a real threat, and not the threat that

is easily identifiable and as vivid as the bold black, white and red of 20th century despotism. Not the vivid and clear tyranny of the Stalins and the Hitlers. Something that is not so easily personified. Something that is like a fugue of tyranny passing through institutional and bureaucratic classes like a toxic faggot.

fart of propaganda and lies and requires therefore a great aesthetic and fantastic fireworks and distraction and total media support and the ability to look to use the judiciary as a weapon i'm saying that what we face from these institutions that are corralled together under the democratic party and seem so vividly present

at that recent convention are a far greater threat to your freedom and to world peace and to free speech and to child health than anything that could happen as a result of an alliance between Bobby Kennedy and Donald Trump and the increasing number of affiliates that appear to be joining that.

clearly imperfect movement, but it's not a movement that needs to compete with perfection. It's a movement that needs to compete with propaganda, hyperbole, and some kind of dreadful, dreadful technological feudalism that in my view has to be stopped. But that's just what I think. Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.

Hey, you, you there, yes, you. Are you an Awaken Wonder yet? Are you an Awaken Wonder yet? You know that I do a lot of my content for you Awaken Wonders down this secret camera. We answer your questions directly. Did you see that when we did that yesterday? We do Russell's stand-up breakdown. We give you early access to guests here. We let you join our live stream. I'm going to do a live stand-up show in a minute. If you're an Awaken Wonder,

straight after this, I'm going to be going over there, doing a stand-up comedy show, totally live, totally spontaneous, total audience interaction. And if you are an Awaken Wonder, you can write in and get a ticket. You can come and see me live anywhere in the world. You know I'm going to be in Phoenix appearing with Tucker on the 4th of September, and I will be doing some more live shows over that period. And as an Awaken Wonder, you can get access whenever you want. We're also planning many more specials.

We're going to bring together oracles, a consortium of wise minds to offer us the true insights that we require. I'm talking about your Cali means is your Mike Benz is your J. Batachar is people that you can rely on on trust that have stood the test of time. So consider becoming an awakened wonder now for a small subscription fee. You get additional access to the content we make and you get direct access to me, whether that's live or

online or live in person. Here's a moment from my recent chat with Jay Bhattacharya, one of the heroes that emerged from the pandemic period. In this conversation,

What do I like about it? I like this moment here where he talks about the government being like a mob. I just had a chat right now with Michael Francis. You'll be able to see that conversation first on Locals. That'll be up on there in a couple of days. And Michael Francis talked about how democracy now is so reminiscent and plainly referencing the crime syndicates in which he, to use their phrase, made his bones. Well, Jay Bhattacharya made a comparable point that

What we have now is what amounts to racketeering. It's a lovely little operation you got there. Be ashamed of someone to destroy it. If you're not on Awake and Wonder yet, you may not have seen this. Become an Awake and Wonder. There's so much more to it than wondering or even awakening. Have a look at this moment between me and Jay Bhattacharya. Al Capone, the gangster.

I mean, Al Capone will go to Chicago businesses and say, well, that's a nice business. It would be a shame if something were to happen to it and then gain protection money from them. That's essentially what the government did with social media companies. They essentially said, look, Russell's saying terrible things. Jay's saying terrible things. You really need to censor them. And the social media companies, if they were to say, or else, the or else would be, we have regulatory power over you. We can do nasty things to you. You better listen.

Jay Bacharya, legitimate scientist, outspoken man, brilliant speaker, communicator and academic who was censored, condemned and smeared during the pandemic period simply for telling the truth. It's become clear that we're living in a maelstrom of madness

and maddening propaganda. Did you see Bill Maher and Quentin Tarantino chatting together? It's interesting to hear Quentin Tarantino's take on almost anything. He's a brilliant communicator and is a devout Democratic Party member and Kamala supporter.

He endorsed the idea that she never give interviews. He sees it as a zero-sum game, nothing to gain from her appearing anywhere. Now what we've got, it seems to me, is a Democratic Party movement almost voided of principles. I mentioned it a couple of times over the course of this conversation. When it's convenient to extract someone from a ballot, they'll extract them from a ballot. When it's convenient to leave them on a ballot, they'll

remove him. This is a post that sort of illustrates this. Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson isn't allowing Bobby Kennedy to remove his name from the ballot, which could hurt Trump. Meanwhile, her party is trying to remove Cornel West because he may hurt Kamala. Never let these people talk about democracy again. They're just corrupt

Thugs. Well, that is a pretty fascinating take on that subject. Now, I don't know if you saw our man Quentin Tarantino, brilliant filmmaker, and Bill Maher. I've been on that show before. I like Bill as a human being a great deal, talking about whether or not Kamala should give interviews. You've doubtless been subjected to many of the peculiar moments of her

behaving spontaneously and questioned whether or not there are influences other than the deep state blob manipulating her neurological pathways could there be some secondary agents so many questions when it comes to that but

One thing it appears to have been agreed on is they want to minimize her contact with the electorate They don't want Kamala Harris popping up on TV Spontaneously appearing in front of the likes of you and me shooting the breeze so free and easily they want that controlled and they want that curtailed well

Let's have a look at Quentin Tarantino and Bill Maher talking about the strategy, because strategy is everything now. This is not a movement that believes in free speech or children's health or ending war or any of those things. Those are free policies that you can take to the bank with Bobby Kennedy's announcement that he'll be joining Trump's presidential campaign and

eventually one hopes, government. Let's have a look at Tarantino and Ma discussing this before we get to our main story tonight, Bongino's testimony and the potential for yet another Trump assassination attempt if the Secret Service doesn't radically change. First though, here's Tarantino and Ma. The bigger issue is

the left and their ability or their desire to engage with anyone who's not already in the bubble. And they get a big fat D minus on that. - I couldn't agree more. - Right, I mean, you see Kamala, I mean, I'm glad she's doing well. I'm glad we have a real fight now for president, but doesn't talk to the press, you know, would never go near me.

And I'm, you know, when you won't go near the people who are going to vote for you. Yeah. I'm going to vote for you. Do I have to love everything? No, I don't. It just shows their refer. And you're right. I see it so more. Well, I don't. OK, you know what? I don't see her. Well, there's no reason for her to go on your show before the election. But I can actually see. Yes, there is. Because I speak to the exact voter she needs, the person who is in the middle.

the person who is not ideologically captured by either side. Now, there are some who watch who are that and everyone is welcome. I need a bigger audience all the time. I'm greedy that way. But basically, that's exactly the audience she needs. The MSNBC crowd is already voting for her. People who watch me who will decide this election will probably be decided in like four states by

something like 80,000 votes in each. That's how these elections, how close they are these days. And that's where we're back to. We're at least back to normal, which sucked, but it is normal that it's 50-50 going into the election. With Biden, it wouldn't have been. Let me ask you about this, though. Okay, look, there's nothing you said that isn't right, all right? And there's definitely nothing you said that isn't right

In a normal election cycle. I mean, it's irrefutably right in a normal election cycle where you have a year to set your case. I think there's just all about winning the fucking election, all right? And then the easiest path to winning the election, look, you can talk about maybe she should have had more guts about this or that and the other, but we're the fucking president. Right.

and trump's not the president and we're the president and now it's going to be about this but this is about winning what what most people don't give the democrats enough credit for all right but we give the the republicans credit for it's like no sometimes it's just about winning and it doesn't matter how we look at this moment it's about winning right this is about winning yeah

No, it is. It's a mad fucking dash and she is running and she's not stopping to stumble. And you know what? And there's nothing wrong with stopping this. I'm going to vote for her fucking anyway, no matter what she says in a stupid fucking interview. Exactly. So don't fuck shit up. Whoa. So it's kind of strategic, according to Tarantino, who just wants to win. I feel like looking at it as if it's a sport.

is the kind of voiding of nuance that's helped to get us in this terrible mess, along with the incessant, unending blizzard of data that we're all supposed to contend with. The havoc.

of online news. The inability to focus on true fidelity, something that actually means something, something that's drawn from and derived from simple universal principles. You know me, I don't want to bang on about it, but I tell you, it's easier living in this world

as a Christian, it's easier to recognize this is what I believe in. This is what I'm here for. This, this is a distraction. This is nonsense. I don't mean I'm not interested in talking to you if you're an atheist or a materialist or a Muslim or a Jew or Buddhist or New Ageist or whatever. It doesn't, you know, of course, I respect your freedom. In fact, that's what this

channel is about. But when I hear that kind of excitement about worldliness, just like we're going to win, where is that drawn from? Think about the last few years. Think about what happened in the pandemic. Think about this Ukraine-Russia war. Think about what's happening in the Middle East right now. There's

just endless brutality and chaos and mindlessness and corruption and the idea that Kamala Harris, a person who's already in office, represents a kind of change or evolution or advance. I don't understand it because I know Quentin Tarantino must have only met him once briefly. Morrissey gig, Staples Center, Los Angeles. I was being ushered in. I had Morrissey's favor back then.

And Tarantino, they wouldn't let him in. I remember, like, it seems like, oh my, and I heard him go, oh my God, what, Russell Brand? Oh my God, Russell Brand? I was like, you should let Quentin Tarantino in, I said. You know, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, let the guy in. But Morris's security were pretty clear. My point, though, is,

Is this... How can you get so excited about any of this stuff? This is all so berserk and so bizarre and so ludicrous. What we have to think, I suppose, is if you really want change, how can you achieve change by voting for someone who's like the vice president right now, whose alignment with Biden is so consistent that they haven't even bothered to cross his name out in their pre-convention documentation? So...

If it's change you believe in, if it's new alliances and a kind of new type of politics, which I guess I was slow to realize Trump to a degree represented. People are very keen to frame it as a throwback to ethnocentric nationalism and militarism.

as espoused at the end of the 20th century, but it's kind of new emergent post-globalist populism. And if you fold into that figures like Tulsi Gabbard and Bobby Kennedy, you might have something really, really interesting. But that's just what I think. Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.

The news cycle moves so fast these days it seems like millennia ago that we heard the crack of a gunshot, the turn of a head. A blood-soaked man arises from behind a pulpit to clench his fist and say fight, fight, fight. Moments before, appearing in a photograph that

"In different times" would have defined the rest of the election cycle, but this is 2024 and time ain't like that anymore. Time passes fast. Well, Dan Bongino, fellow Rumble creator and former Secret Service member, has appeared at a hearing to unpack and understand those events of J13 and he believes

It could happen again. There could be another assassination attempt before the election. Now, let me know in the comments in the chat while you give me a like and subscribe, if you'll be so kind, if you believe that's possible or plausible. And let's have a look at a compilation of Dan Bongino's moments, as we promised you in the title of this episode.

live show. Let me know what you think about this and let me know do you believe that the Secret Service, like the CIA, like all government institutions requires a reckoning and a deeper understanding. And let me know, do you think it's possible that this could happen again?

Let's have a look at it. With that, I'll turn it over to our subject matter experts, beginning with Mr. Bongino for opening remarks. Listen, let's just get right to the point. This was an apocalyptic security failure. A man was murdered in front of his family. Three people were shot.

on live television, including President Trump in the head who came within two millimeters of having his head explode on national television in front of millions of people. There's no sugarcoating it, there's no time for BS. Unfortunately, as Congressman Crane and Mills both indicated, the story seems to have been vanquished to the Phantom Zone, a media coverage. It's amazing how we're still talking about JFK's assassination, but nobody seems to want to talk about President Trump being shot in the head on national television despite the fact

that we have no answers. So I have five minutes, so I want to keep it quick and I want to make three points. I worked

In the Secret Service for 12 years. I loved it. I worked with some really amazing men and women, but they have three institutional problems I believe in the macro will help us get to the bottom of how this Secret Service apocalyptic failure won't happen again first They have a technology problem the joke in the Secret Service Which is sadly no longer funny when I was there and it wasn't funny then either is they rely on yesterday's technology tomorrow and

Think about that. Yesterday's technology, tomorrow. Everything from computer systems at waste agents times filling out time and attendance records they were doing to Congressman Crane and I discussing the fact that they only implemented slings, a technology as old as the wheel,

about, I don't know, five or six years into my time in the Secret Service, which is embarrassing. The weaponry was old, everything was old. These are things I would have talked about sooner if they didn't create a security crisis, and I obviously didn't want to air them publicly. Now you're seeing what happens when you don't have a drone up at a site you could have bought for $39.99 on Amazon.

Another adage in the Secret Service you've heard even the new acting director discuss is the more with less approach. There is no more with less, there's less with less, okay? The Secret Service more with less approach only works if you produce more.

That's how capitalism works. You produce a flat screen TV that was probably 20 years ago, $10,000, it's 200 bucks at Walmart now. They produce a better TV with less. That's not what the Secret Service did. They produced less with more. They were given more money and produced less.

Mr. Bongino, in your opinion, is the Secret Service in a better spot today with Director Rowe in charge? No, it's worse. And sadly, I'm glad this is all being recorded because when something else happens, and I hope it doesn't, I pray to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, that I'm wrong. That you play this and go, look, that guy was crazy.

You think this is the last incident, you're out of your mind. We have seen these incidents over and over. We saw the Georgia grenade incident with President Bush. They overtook the magnetometers. The Secret Service leadership in charge now with the exact same people. Exact same. Can you imagine a C-suite or a company that makes widgets? We find out that there's a design defect. The widget explodes and kills 10 people.

and the CTO gets a promotion to CEO, you understand that's what happened here, correct? These are the same people. Kim Cheadle, the director, wasn't even fired.

She was allowed to resign. She'll go get some cushy job somewhere and her deputy, who is one of the guys behind these stupid waste of time things like agents wearing red ties on the detail. This actually happened by the way. These people will tell you this on the road if you get the right people. He was concerned about the tie color of the agents on the detail because it seemed to imply he supported President Trump.

Congressman Biggs is wearing a red tie. You're wearing a semi-red tie. It has nothing to do with anything. This is the kind of stuff the Secret Service was actually wasting their time with while withholding CSU counter surveillance assets and counter sniper assets from probably the most threatened man on earth. If you can explain it, good luck because that's not the agency I worked for.

Whether it's ineptitude or something more insidious that led to that assassination attempt is something for us, I suppose, to all consider. I found it fascinating that Trump himself recently said,

Well, they don't seem to like me very much. The Kamala Harris Biden campaign. You know, they don't seem to have a lot of time for me. They don't seem to wish me well. And even that was reported by a legacy media as Trump supporting conspiracy theories that the deep state tried to have him killed. The fact is, we now know in part because of stories we've already looked at today that

Deep state agencies do indeed, it appears, although it is difficult to corroborate for reasons that are obvious, i.e. they control information, they control media, they control the judiciary, they have incredible control, participate in the assassination of their enemies. In fact, part of Trump's ascent was fueled by his ability to call out

and say in public things that many of us have long suspected, but you just don't see politicians say publicly. I was struck, of course, as I've said before, by Chappelle's SNL monologue, where he said the reason that Trump has such popular appeal is because he's like someone who's showing you inside these institutions. The legacy media are obsessed with the failings and shortcomings of Donald Trump.

They're obsessed in fact with the maintenance of the kind of power upon which their model is built. A model that cannot withstand challenges from independent media, that cannot withstand the challenges of new alliances that come out of independent political space. I know a lot of you watching this will say, "It's not independent enough." Tulsi Gabbard, she's an institutional figure.

Bobby Kennedy's an institutional figure, but man, if you read the real Anthony Fauci by Bobby Kennedy, you will have to recognize this is a man who's not only vigorous when it comes to research, but pretty outspoken on some complex issues. And even though you might perhaps not agree with him on everything, maybe there are

military and geopolitical issues about which you have doubts. If what you're interested in is progress, you would have to consider that perspective. Let me know whether or not you have a strong counter argument to that. And particularly if you're someone who

support the Kamala Harris campaign, what the point of difference and distinction is now, now that we've all learned as much as we have. So whilst this is a fascinating hearing, it looks like undertaken in some part by the Heritage Foundation. Many will point out the connections between the Heritage Foundation and that great bugbear of the Democratic Party project.

2025 which appears to be radioactive to their way of life. I'm pretty grateful to see Dan Bongino assessing a subject about which he knows a great deal and a subject about which he's proselytized with great, he's been very articulate.

on this subject. He's helped me to understand that something unusual happened and he's really understood, I think, the necessary nuance when it comes to criticizing members of the Secret Service. Some of you may have seen he's reporting at the RNC where he said, "Hey listen, I don't want to condemn the individuals because those are men and women that are willing to give their lives and that are dedicated professionals and devoted." And I thought that was pretty admirable that he took that position. But to hear him say that Trump's life may yet be threatened again,

Prior to November the 5th, well, could it happen? In this insane world, driven by insane people with insane motives, you'd have to say it is a possibility. But that's just what I think. Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.

Now, listen, if you're not on Awake and Wonder yet, you should consider becoming one because we are going to be doing a live streamed stand up show exclusively for our Locals members in just over 30 minutes. Go over to Locals. There's a holding page up right now.

And you'll see me just live having fun. Another of the advantages, if you consider it that, of being a Locals member is you get to see my stand-up breakdowns where I look at some of my favourite comics, comedians and comedy heroes doing their best work and having a look at why I think it functions so well.

So if you have more time in your day for yet more media consider becoming an Awaken Wonder and if you fancy coming to one of my live shows one of the advantages is that you can claim a ticket for free and come see me anywhere in the world as long as it's my shows although I bet I could get a handful for that Tucker gig I bet I could get that for Locus members let me look into that so yeah consider becoming an Awaken Wonder if you're watching on Rumble we'll post it in the chat we'll be back

tomorrow, which is Friday, I'm going to chat to Tony Robbins about a new film that he's involved with that could be the new Sound of Freedom. So you're going to want to join us for that. I think you might like it. I'm talking to you, Sayyihub and Carl Reiner. There he is, every other comment. And Canadian Mom 1997. All you guys.

Come join us tomorrow. Underdog82, come to Florida. Yeah, surely only a matter of time before I'm performing there. Get your membership. Sign up now. All right, guys. We've got some great stuff coming up for the remainder of the week. Just one more day this week, right? This is Thursday. We'll be back tomorrow, not with more of the same, but with more of the different. Until then, if you can, stay free.
