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 medium.
miasma 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. Remember, wherever you're watching this, the entire show can be seen streamed live on Rumble. That is our exclusive home. And consider becoming an awakened wonder, joining our locals community, which gives you access to live events. We stream live stand-up shows. I appear live. And when I appear with...
Tucker Carlson later this week, we gave away four tickets or three pairs of tickets to members of the Awaken Wonder locals community. There's always benefits and advantages like that, as well as plenty of specials. What we're focusing on mostly today is the
How the election cycle tends to mean that we focus on minutiae rather than the macro issues and their significance. Let's give you a clear example. The Arlington Cemetery incident means that we're focused on a kind of PR spat. Who handled it best? Who handled it worse?
and perhaps not focusing on not only the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, but the fact that the Afghanistan conflict itself cost $14 trillion, that's your $14 trillion, 50% of which, of course, ended up directly in the hands of the military-industrial complex. This...
Election seems like it will be decided and determined, as often elections in your country are, by hot-button topics like immigration and abortion. They're certainly important subjects. Let's look at how they're being handled so far. Elon Musk commented on this story of Kamala Harris saying an undocumented immigrant is not a criminal, but I suppose that's an odd statement.
paradox or contradiction in terms because if you are an illegal immigrant that is illegal it's like listen let me put it into a language that I can understand
As a drug addict, I was a criminal because drugs are illegal. And I noticed a lot of the drugs that I used to take have been made legal now. And believe me, I'm pretty irritated about that. Here's Kamala Harris talking about undocumented labor. Let's know what you think in the comments and chat. Having done the work I've done, it is our undocumented immigrants that are the least likely to commit a crime.
So let's get our emotions together about what we're talking about. Look, Kamala Harris has got some interesting verbal and vocal tics. Would you agree? Let me know in the comments and chat. I'm surprised in the post-Clinton Obama Blair era where politicians are so show-be-slick well-groomed and know precisely how to behave on camera that someone so plainly idiosyncratic has...
succeeded to the point of being the presidential candidate for an incumbent democratic party aren't you because that's some unusual pictures exhibiting there there are some rumours aren't there that there may be out
alcohol-related reasons for that. It's pretty mean to speculate, surely. Is it? Is it? Do you think so? Is that what it is? And maybe even the whole cat lady narrative is a little unkind. And maybe we oughtn't be focusing on trivial personality traits rather than
policy rather how we're all likely to be affected individually as nations and as a planet that's why i'm interested in talking about the arlington cemetery for car because it alludes directly to afghanistan and afghanistan as julian assange always said showed us that the function of government is to extract public money from you and put it into private hands and in the case of afghanistan as i've already said but might say a few more times in the
this show took 14 trillion dollars 50 percent of which went directly to the military industrial complex i'm not suggesting they trazied the lot of it they will of course have made military equipment missiles tanks etc but there's got margins you better believe there's margins on that
one of the unique challenges that I face you lot being a person that was a former member of the Hollywood establishment is a lot of people that are now attacked as shit libs or dem tards are people I know like for example Whoopi Goldberg who I know says a lot of stuff on The View that I wouldn't agree with I still remember her being like amazing in Sister Act and Ghost I still remember her being very kind when I was on The View I
I'm sympathetic towards anyone who's comedically got the kind of skill and beauty she exhibited as a comedian. Plus, Rosie O'Donnell. I know Rosie. She is like a cast iron, decent, lovely, brilliant person. And indeed, we got at some point. Are you willing to consider reconciliation? Are you willing to observe that Trump, who I know massively,
Many of you devoutly admire. He's good at reconciliation, isn't he? Like when he opens his heart up to Tulsi Gabbard or RFK or Vivek, you know, like remember Vivek, he's very sly, very sly, but it's amazing what happens when you win. Like he's good at making alliances. And I've said before on this stream, the right looks for converts, the left looks for traitors. If what you're actually interested in is change,
if what you're actually interested in are values and principles that relate to personal freedom, freedom of speech, personal liberty, the ability to run your community, and then to globalism, corruption, and deep state hypocrisy. At point, there's, I believe, let me know what you think about this in the chat on Rumble, and certainly you awakened wonders. It requires a
I believe, a kind of open-heartedness that's completely in alignment with what I'm going to have to tell you, baby, our Christian values. Let me know what you think about that. Here's Rosie O'Donnell, though. In this instance, this is something I predicted much too quick. I want you to go back and look at my ex-account. Probably within 20 minutes of Trump getting shot, I said, I bet now you'll have people talking about conspiracy theories that
wouldn't have done six months ago and what i specifically meant was there'll be people saying this is a false flag event now when like you know we dare i say we am i allowed to say we about us when we talk about jan 6 having fbi agents and various other deep state actors that are often assumed to facilitate explosive moments in protests in order to tip them over
This is something that happens in the UK as well. Otherwise, peaceful protests pushed over the edge by bad actors that are placed there by the state. Like, you know, this is the kind of, these are the kind of incidents that we would talk about false flag events. But you don't imagine that legacy media journalists or people off of mainstream media panel shows will ever use language like, it's a conspiracy theory. But,
When it comes to Trump, all bets are off. When it comes to Trump, all reason goes out the window. When it comes to Trump, hysteria reaches almost the maximum conceivable level. And here is Rosie O'Donnell, who I've got to tell you, and go crazy in the comments, she's a beautiful, lovely person. And I still thought that it was pretty funny when Trump said that thing in the primaries to Megan Fox, remember that moment?
I love Rosie O'Donnell. But let's see what she's been saying here about Trump and the idea that Trump weren't really shot. This is this conspiracy theory that the left or the establishment would never push a theory like that if it was Biden. Right now, I don't know what happened that day, but I don't think it was a bullet that hit him. I don't. I think it was maybe a fragment of something or something.
But I don't know, without a scar to be seen, yet blood all over it. Look at the photos of him right after with his fist pumping. A normal reaction, right? To almost being assassinated. There's something really hinky about the whole thing. And I don't know what it is, but I am saying this. For people who go on conspiracy theories for endless, endless cycles, you know, deep dives. How come this isn't getting a deep dive?
How come people are just like, look, his ear is normal now? Yeah. He's not an octopus. He doesn't regrow his limbs, his ears, his nose or whatever. You don't regrow. We're humans. You don't regrow your arms or your ears.
Isn't it interesting that depending on your allegiance, the willingness to explore certain ideas, that's the claim that Rosie O'Donnell's making here. But remember, I suppose what she's referring to is people that are in communities like this one, where we would say, let's have a look at that event 201. Let's have a look at the origins of the COVID pandemic. What
all these patents? How come there were no clinical trials? Why were the government so keen to tell us it stopped transmission? Why did they stop the files being accessed from Pfizer for 75 years? Wait a minute. Did they know about myocarditis that early? You know, now, excuse me. I would say the pandemic period.
is legitimately scrutinized as the site of much hypocrisy, corruption and collaboration that amounts to actual conspiracy. Various interests working together to achieve an outcome. What Rosie O'Donnell's suggesting, of course, is that, well, she's plainly said she don't think Trump was hit by a bullet. Let me know what you think about that in the comments. She's saying that people that are well into conspiracy theories, and they would have to include us,
I'm not exploring that possibility. And I suppose she's saying it could be a fragment. Now, Rosie O'Donnell there is not going so far as to say, I believe that the Trump campaign set this up themselves in order to, what's the desired outcome? To solicit support, to claim that the
Biden as it was then, administration are behind it. That would be an audacious claim. You know, it'll be hard to push for even the inversion of that claim. But, you know, I would sort of, in a sense, offer back the same thing to Rosie O'Donnell. I would love and I would love to talk to Rosie O'Donnell about what does she feel about the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story, the way that the pandemic period's been handled, the Clinton emails and or,
In a minute, we'll talk about Arlington Cemetery and how one side of the media will vouch for and go out to bat for Kamala. The other side will condemn the Biden-Kamala Harris administration. What we need is
is a kind of objectivity. What we need is an acceptance that there is room for improvement across both sides. And if you're suddenly willing to talk about conspiracy theories, I've got a lot of raw materials to consider. But that's just what I think. Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
Certainly Joe Rogan has a different perspective on it. If you're watching this on YouTube, we'll be with you for another five minutes before I do the commentary on Joe Rogan's take on whether or not the Trump assassination attempt was a false flag. Here's a word from Airstech, one of our partners and sponsors that ensure that you're in the midst of Wi-Fi and 5G and all sorts of other applications.
ambient pollutants, you have a prophylactic protection in the form of a magnificent amulet. Have a look at this. Airports and planes are heavy EMF exposure zones due to the volume of people with individual devices and Wi-Fi within confined spaces. I think that sometimes all of them phones, everyone's staring at their devices. It's important to protect yourself if you're undertaking such travel from EMF
Imagine sitting on a commercial flight, every single person there smothered in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, earbuds, all that stuff. You might as well be in a fuselage made of electromagnetic energy. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention classifies airline crew members as radiation workers precisely because of this fact.
As you know, probably, are an official partner of the UFC. They're the only scientifically validated EMF protection solution. Hang that little thing around your neck. It saps up those sweet little problems. AirTech uses EMF modulation technology that is trusted and used around the world. Go to airstech.com forward slash pages forward slash Russell dash brand.

give yourself the advantages that these devices represent. Thank you.
If you are an
the establishment, if you're anything other than they did their best during COVID, put a mask on, take a jab, have war throughout the Middle East, have war with China, have endless war and ban free speech. Free speech is dangerous. Unless that's your perspective, you've got to consider making some moves in a different direction. We'll be talking about all of that exclusively on Rumble. Here's Joe Rogan. Happens to us, I guess.
One guy got shot. Yeah, some guy. And the guy who shot him, just his body vanished. Yeah. No police. Now, did he get shot? Because I've seen a lot of people talk about this, like, no, he didn't get shot. That's hilarious. Oh, my God. Do you think that he cut his ear like a pro wrestler? Yeah. Like, it's all fake. The guy behind him got murdered. That wasn't real? I saw it. Again, you would think that would be a clue. But I've seen things where they say, no, he didn't have any blood on him, and then he ducked
down behind the podium just long enough. And I'm thinking, are you fucking psycho? They are psycho. But, you know, but then, you know, to be fair, then...
Well, no, that can't be fair. How can you be fair about this? There's no fair. There's no fair. We heard gunshots. We saw a guy get shot who was shooting at him. The guy behind him got murdered. Yeah. A couple other people got injured. Life-changing injuries. Yes. Yeah, serious injuries. Yes, serious injuries. I mean, it 100% happened. To say it didn't happen is insane. And then you had Joy Reid on TV saying, well, Biden got over COVID, which is basically the same thing. People are losing their fucking minds.
You know, it makes me realize the function of Joe Rogan is to provide an earth and grounded counterpoint to the endless hysteria that we increasingly encounter in a saturated media space. He continues to do incredible work by just saying, no, come on, that can't be a false flag event. What about those people that died? There are family members. Just seems absurd, doesn't it? And it makes you realize that people in their
kind of evangelism for another, by the way, another term of the Biden-Harris administration are willing to sort of buy into almost anything. I am not even American. I'm far less a card-carrying supporter of any political movement in your country. I'm
I believe in a higher reality and in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. And I believe in the principles suggested by that kindness, surrender, service that we are saved as a result of his sacrifice, not any merit that we may deploy.
And having Joe Rogan occupy in the media space, able to say, oh, come on, that's ridiculous. It's very valuable, actually, because even though Joe Rogan is cited in a sense as the apex predator of the conspiracy theory, dark web or right world, in fact, he's quite a straightforward health oriented person. But that's just why I think, let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
Hey, if you're watching us on YouTube, click the link in the description. We're going to be looking at how now Trump is explicitly talking about making America healthy again since RFKs joined the campaign. What will the decriers and opponents of anti-establishment politics do now? How
will they continue to pretend that they're advocating for a movement when they are advocating for the government, the establishment, globalism, oppression, and technological feudalism? I don't know how. Click the link in the description, and if you're not an awakened wonder yet, consider becoming an awakened wonder now. You may enjoy the meditations, you may enjoy the Bible studies, but I know you will enjoy Russell Brand's stand-up breakdown. This week,
Because we're still reeling from Rowan Atkinson's advocacy for free speech, we looked at Blackadder and the verbally brilliant comedy deployed there.
scene, Blackadder goes to see his doctor and it's a little bit like a kind of take on the pharmaceutical industry as it was then. In those days, they weren't all about pitching vaccines. They were all about pitching leeches. Have a look at that. And those of you that are awakened wonders that already belong to this community, let me know how much you're enjoying this content and what you want to see more of. Did I go too Christian for you? Well, we better
do something radical do you want more stand-up breakdowns do you want more meditation do you want more bible studies and those of you that came to the live event thank you so much it was so fantastic to see you there like Primal Colin great to see you Mr Galway great to see you and if you're not
an awake and wonder yet but come on because i've got lots of live stand-up events and you can come and see them whenever you want just by responding to the email that we're posting in the chat right now or that we posted at the beginning of the show that's what our social media team do they always ensure that the appropriate addresses are in that chat whenever we need them let's have a look at the rest of this russell brand stand-up breakdown on black add-on exactly this kind of sordid problem
I like this because it's that kind of satire now on medicine as it was then, quackery and leeches and stuff. It wouldn't have anything to do with leeches, would it? I had no idea you were a medical man. I've never had anything you doctors didn't try to cure with leeches. A leech on my ear for earache, a leech on my bottom for constipation. They're marvellous, aren't they? Well, the bottom one wasn't. I just sat down and squashed it. LAUGHTER
Consider becoming an awakened wonder for more content like that. Make America healthy again is the new cry that since our
RFK join the campaign can be legitimately made. Here is Donald Trump explicitly saying that he will make America healthy again. And indeed, this is one of the reasons where me personally would be like tentative about Trump. I can't support him. I've got enough trouble in my life now. It's like, hmm, Tulsi Gabbard's on the crew. Bobby Kennedy's on the crew. Who you got?
in the Democrat movement like Bernie Sanders who for half an hour in 2016 said he was going to do something about the banks AOC who's quietly supporting Kamala putting aside whatever principles she may have about Palestine you know I don't know man let me know in the chat if you are still a supporter of the Democrat party movement what
Is it exactly that you believe in or is it, you know, let's face it, just anti-Trump stuff? Let's have a look at Trump saying he's going to make America healthy again. Remember to give us a like and subscribe wherever you're watching this. This past week, I was honored to receive two endorsements of former Democrats for President Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,
And they're both great people. They were Democrats, as you probably know, and they felt very strongly about the endorsement, and I feel very happy to get it. Every day we are welcoming more Republicans, Independents, traditional Democrats, and old-fashioned liberals, you know? They don't use that term anymore.
They use progressive, we don't use that term. We like liberal better. Progressive sounds so good. It sounds progressive. They're not progressive, they're the opposite. Together we're fighting to secure our borders, end the endless foreign wars, and defend the working people of America. And coming in, I heard some of the most beautiful speeches. I heard just beautiful, beautiful speeches. I want to thank all of the speakers that preceded me. Beautiful speeches.
We're joining forces to defeat government corruption, restore free speech, and make America healthy again. We're going to make America healthy again, you know? We're a nation that...
is not doing well in a lot of ways, and we're not doing so well with health, but we're going to solve a lot of those problems, I think, over the next short period of time. A lot of it's common, a lot of that's common sense, too. It's all common sense when you get right down to it, but we're going to get toxic chemicals out of our environment, and we're going to get them out of our food supply. We're going to get them out of our bodies. We'll get them out of our body, right? Right?
With victory this fall, we will enact this pro-family agenda and we will bring back the American... Get him out of our bodies. Get him out of our bodies, right?
I tell you, like, look, anyone can say anything in a campaign. During the campaign last time around for 2020, Biden said, you know, we're going to take Big Pharma to task and it amounted to one or two drugs being not really meaningfully controlled. He said that he's going to make Saudi Arabia a pariah. He said that he wasn't going to build a wall. A lot of things get said on the campaign trial. But if someone, if a president, if the president understands
of the United States is willing to take on big food and big pharma, what you could be talking about is a seismic shift because I believe that, and tell me if you agree, that many of the problems that come out of American politics is because the American government is not controlled by the electorate, a mandate derived from the people, but is controlled by the
financial influence that the donor and lobbying class are able to assert maintained by deep state influence and power over everything from the media to the population in the broadest sense. So if you have public and explicit declarations of opposition towards big food and big pharma, then, well, excuse me, that would change the world.
It'll change the world if it becomes, I don't know, illegal to use seed oils, for example, or if it became illegal
illegal to not declare the impact of sugar on diabetes or the diabetes and heart and cancer foundations to not accept donations from foods that potentially it looks like contribute to those conditions. And it would be amazing if those, uh, industries were mandated to fund clinical trials about the impact of their product on those, uh,
diseases in particular. And also what I'd like to see, and I know you'd like to see, is a COVID reckoning. And it seems like a COVID reckoning could be on the agenda. In a minute, we're going to look at the Arlington Cemetery story. Remember to like and describe wherever you are watching this and to support our channel, if you can, by becoming a member of
of the locals community. When it comes to this story about dear Donald Trump, which is what I call him now, it's good at least to hear rhetoric. But do you believe that rhetoric will be put into legislation and policy? I hope so. Certainly with Tulsi Gabbard and RFK on the crew, it's much more likely than it would have been prior to those additions. But that's just what I think. Why don't you let me know what you think?
in the comments and the chat. Like and subscribe. Remember to support our content in any way you can. Thank you. Now...
We'll be doing the Arlington Cemetery issue in a matter of moments. But the Bobby Kennedy addition to the MAGA movement turning into the MAHA movement, which sort of sounds softer, which sounds like the kind of acronym that will draw a broader base than the hard fricative. Is that fricative? I don't know. I'm not sure what.
noise that is. But in any event, Maha meets Marga means big trouble for the Democratic Party movement. I would agree. Would you agree? Let me know in the comments and the chat. Because...
A COVID reckoning, which is what Bobby Kennedy is promising, would mean that the pharmaceutical industry would be taken to task. The FDA would be taken to task. The CDC would be taken to task. The NIH would be taken to task. There might be one more H in that. That Andy Fauci would likely face trial. That we would see and gain access to the data around clinical trials, adverse events, etc.,
Excess deaths, vaccine company profits, lies that were told in the media, censorship that took place on Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms. Prominent anti-vaccine voices, as they were called at the time, that may have been censored or subject to other attacks. An area that I am personally investigating very seriously, you better believe, as a result of events last year. So a
COVID reckoning is a great opportunity indeed and Bobby Kennedy is promising one. Let me know in the comments and chat if you think this could provide, tell me seriously, do you think this could change the narrative wherever you're watching this on YouTube or wherever you're watching this on Rumble? Now remember, be careful if you're watching this on YouTube because they likely use AI to surveil those comments. So be careful down there. Be careful what spelling you're using down there. But while you're watching our channel, still give us a like, still give us a subscribe.
It really helps. And remember, we stream every single day on Rumble, which is where this is taking place right now. Remember, we're going to be in America later on this year, performing some extremely special events, making some pretty fantastic content. And if you are an awakened wonder, you get access to all of our live shows and so much more. Let's have a look now at Bobby Kennedy inviting a COVID reckoning. Could it ever really happen?
I wrote a book about Fauci. There's 2,200 footnotes in the book, and I invited people at the beginning of the book. All my sources in the books are... I did something that had never been done before, which is I put them on a barcode next to them so you can actually, as you read, you can look up the sourcing.
And I invited people to find problems with the book. I said, tell me what they are and we will correct them. We had 27 editions. We had the capacity to correct anything. And nobody ever told us any actual error in that book. And if you read that book, it's hard to...
I don't look into Anthony Fauci's head. I don't look into Bill Gates' head. I don't say he did this because he was greedy or because he was manipulative. I just lay out what they did, and the story speaks for itself. And it's a story of people involved in really terrible, terrible, immoral things
homicidal criminal behavior and using a position in government that he had for 50 years without any election to clamp down these totalitarian controls that were not science-based and that everybody now admits there was no science. In fact, yesterday, the chief attorney for FDA admitted that there was no reason
He admitted because he lost the case in court against the doctor. But there was no reason to discourage people from taking ivermectin. Ivermectin was a very, very devastating cure for COVID. It literally obliterated COVID. And, you know, by depriving people of ivermectin, many, many people, millions of people around the globe died.
And they didn't need to. There were cures for COVID from day one and very effective cures. And but they didn't want that. They wanted the vaccine only. And there was a rule. There's a rule, you know, a little known federal rule that they were they were all aware of, which said that you cannot issue an emergency use authorization for a vaccine.
if there is an existing remedy that has already been approved for any use. So if they admitted that hydroxychloroquine or famtidavine or ivermectin or any of the 25 existing therapeutic drugs that were very effective against COVID, if they admitted that any of them were effective, the whole vaccine project would have fallen apart. They couldn't have done it. And so they decided that they were going to pretend that
that there was no cure except for the vaccine. And they gave people a product that was not properly tested and then now we have a whole generation of kids that has now got myocarditis, these terrible heart problems in young athletic boys. You're seeing so many kids now drop dead on playing fields and that we never saw anything like this before. On average, it was I think 29 a month globally, athletes who died on the field.
And we were getting down to hundreds a month now. And it's, you know, and there still has to be a reckoning. The mainstream media hasn't caught up with the science. But the science is out there now and it's devastating.
The mainstream media have not only not caught up with the science, but they're ignoring the science because they're vested interest in ensuring that the truth doesn't get out because the reckoning required around COVID is a type of reckoning that unravels entire systems.
It's pretty fascinating to have a figure like Bobby Kennedy so adjacent to the mainstream, because otherwise you can't publicly talk about something that many of us have seen with our own eyes. Like, I've been watching sport in one way or another most of my life, not to an obsessive degree, but enough to notice that it appears that more people are suddenly collapsing than used to. I'm not a statistician or expert in demographics or data analysis, but I've been watching
But I know that during the pandemic period, mortality overall did not increase. It increased in the post-pandemic period. What conclusions could be drawn from that? I'm not an expert in media, but I know the stories around vaccine injury were repressed and controlled. And I personally recall how vehemently the various media organizations just in my country say the radio would listen to, the TV that I would watch, absolutely
for taking the vaccine, that they created the idea that by taking a vaccine, you're not only protecting yourself, but it was necessary in order to protect other more vulnerable people. Do you know that in the last year or so, that kind of argument slipped away? You might remember hospitals that were built that we were told would be filled and never were. You might remember the endless TikTok videos of apparently overwhelmed medical staff that had time to work on choreography
choreography and stuff. But what we have at the bulwark, the forefront of this, are the sets of interests that we've always known are able to subvert what are called republics or democracies, essentially countries run according to the will of the people. What we can see is how the pharmaceutical industry, the organisations that regulate them, the media and the government are able to work together to ensure that facts are
are ignored, overwhelmed, that deception is elevated to the level of truth. Already, we've been invited, like we were with 9-11 or the assassination of JFK, to kind of just put it to the back of your mind. Don't think about it, really. Don't think about the fact that
Did you see that New York Times cover? Was it New York Times? Was it New Yorker cover of a school child dressed head to toe in PPE? We were under the headline back to school, schools back in. It was completely normalized. We were told we were in the middle of an event that would likely kill hundreds of millions of people. Come on.
Marla Harris herself on stage on numerous occasions claimed that 220 million people had died. I'm sure it's just a slip of a tongue. It seems like a pretty slippery tongue, doesn't it? Some of the words that come ambling and spilling out of that portal. But the fact is this, that an impression was created of the nature of the crisis that was deliberately hysterical in order to legitimize authoritarian regulation. And as your great
comedian George Carlin always says, when interests converge, no conspiracy is required. If the government benefits, and big pharma benefits, and big tech benefits, and the media benefit, then, and indeed if there's the biggest wealth transfer in history, then there's no requirement for a shadowy room or a ceremony to mollock the evil owl god. Although, increasingly, I'm beginning to think that such things are impossible.
a possibility. Bobby Kennedy's movement into the mainstream, albeit an alliance with Trump, is a seismic shift in this election. Let me know if you agree in the comments and chat. Remember to like and subscribe.

The Afghanistan war cost you $14 trillion. Julian Assange, thank God, who is now free, a free man, said the function of the Afghanistan war is not to end it, but to prolong it because it provides the opportunity to drain public resources and put them via tax into private hands. That $14 trillion was 50% enjoyed by...
Military industrial complex companies like Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, etc. Now, we have a squabble and a spat over this cemetery visit at Arlington. Some saying that Trump was exploitive and there was a bit of hustle and bustle at the cemetery gates. Hey, I'm getting perilously close to quoting Morrissey here. And others
Yet the relatives of the fallen say they invited representatives of both sides of the aisle to attend and only the Trump campaign responded. So is this the perfect story to help us to understand that the media will use polemicism and polarization to report on a story that could
be used to show us that war is senseless. And while we're still worrying about the consequences of the very, very, very expensive and I would say pointless Afghanistan war, we are, and I say we because it involves our money. I'm a taxpayer in this country. I'm a taxpayer in a few places. And our revenue is shooting towards various fronts right now in order to prolong wars that might be similarly unwinnable. Aren't
all wars ultimately unwinnable is that one of the lessons at least that we can learn from afghanistan so let's have a look at harris kamala harris presidential candidate voted for so far by no one condemning donald trump for the arlington national cemetery incident
Vice President Kamala Harris is slamming former President Donald Trump for his controversial visit to Arlington National Cemetery earlier this week. Harris releasing a story that is being described as a controversial visit, that it's been given that adjective. Why was it controversial? Because why? Let's get into it. Statement earlier today saying in part, Trump, quote, disrespected sacred ground all for the sake of a political stunt.
And that quote, sacralized. Indeed, do you think that there's a degree of hypocrisy if, you know, and I'm saying this fresh off the back of our live watch along of the Democratic Party National Convention, where
I mean, look, abortion is a pretty serious issue, isn't it? And it's a pretty painful and awful issue, full of import. And at various times during the DNC, it was sort of treated like a jamboree of righteousness. If a cemetery where fallen service personnel are buried is sacred, then what is life itself?
It is my belief that someone who cannot meet this simple, sacred duty should never again stand behind the seal of the presidents of the United States of America.
Let me know in the comments and chat what you think about that. And remember, we stream every day at this time. Be sure and join us and be sure to like and subscribe as well. So that's a very particular stance. This is a very evident and plain attempt to score political points in the run up to the election. Who knows what other macabre events may happen yet on the 60 odd days between now and November the 5th and yesterday.
Here is Senator Tom Cotton responding to, I suppose, that narrative. Bottom line, though, I guess, Senator, is it ever appropriate to make campaign content at military graves? He didn't take campaign photos there. These families, Gold Star families...
whose children died because of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's incompetence invited him to the cemetery. And they asked him to take those photos because as they told me yesterday when I spoke to Kelly Barnett and Darren Hoover, the parents of Taylor Hoover, who has Arkansas ties, they don't get to go to the beach on Labor Day. They don't get to have barbecues. This is their one chance to have a memory of their children to commemorate their service
and honour their sacrifice. That's a pretty different perspective from the one we're being offered by the Kamala campaign. Let me know what you think if you believe that then I've heard it called a movement Kamala Harris movement somehow being presented as anti-establishment while she's been in office for four years and is campaigning to remain in office and while she clearly sits at the heart of an excess of corporate financial and deep state interests that aren't meaningfully going to change from the Biden administration because of course they use the same basic
portfolio and brochure to campaign. You know, of course, don't you, that Biden told Wall Street financiers nothing will fundamentally campaign change when campaigning against Trump in 2020. You remember his Saudi Arabia pariah. And of course, you remember the botched departure from Afghanistan. And now we are being told that the photo opportunity was not something augmented or good planned and proposed by the Trump campaign. No, but was asked for by
by the families of the fallen. And we can obviously hear directly from those family members so we don't just get caught in an endless cacophony of political point scoring. But so far, let me know in the comments, let me know in the chat where you stand. How's this story shaking down right now? It
They wanted President Trump there. They wanted to take those photos. You know who the family's also invited? Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Where were they? Joe Biden was sitting at a beach. Kamala Harris was sitting at her mansion in Washington, D.C. She was four miles away, 10 minutes. She could have gone to the cemetery and
honored the sacrifice of those young men and women, but she hasn't. She never has spoken to them or taken a meeting with them. It's because of her. They did meet with them during the dignified transfer. It's because of her. They were with them at the dignified transfer. Her and Joe Biden's incompetence, those 13 Americans were killed in Afghanistan.
And you can see, again, that the apparently neutral interlocute are from MSNBC. Whatever channel that is, that's the Peacock one, isn't it? I can't remember all the names of the different propaganda outlets. He's clearly in the earpiece. She was at the...
that event, saying that she was at that event. But remember, as Tom Cotton points out, that the botched Afghanistan departure caused these deaths in the first place, and then back out another level to the Julian Assange perspective, that that war cost $14 trillion and the function of that war was never to win it. What was achieved? You'd think with all the amount of propaganda available, with all of the media available, that you and I, conversant individuals that operate in this space, would say, well, thank God,
That $14 trillion was spent in Afghanistan. Thank God those American service members died. Thank God those innocent Afghani people died because now we've all got those, you know, what is it, snow globes? What did we get out of that?
Foam fingers? What was gleaned from that conflict? If it requires Jeffrey Sachs to unpack what was, or John Mearsheimer, or some sort of academic expert on geopolitics and military history to tell you what the positive results of the Afghanistan conflict were, guess what I'm going to rely on? My old friend intuition. And I'm going to say there was some connection between that $14 trillion being spent
50% of which ended up in the hands of the very military industrial complex interests that pay so significantly for the campaigning and donations and lobbying of the DNC that were somehow the its chief beneficiaries and I'm going to take Julian Assange at
his word, a word that cost him his freedom, five years in Belmarsh prison UK without trial, that the function of Afghanistan was not to end the conflict but to perpetuate the conflict and then do you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to take a little leap of faith and I'm going to say well I wonder what's going on right now with Ukraine and Russia because it's the same people that are telling me right now that these wars are necessary and I'm going to apply it to Middle Eastern conflicts as well even though there is let's face it a lot of hysteric complexity there and I'm
I'm going to assume that there are similar beneficiaries there. And then I'm going to look at what's going on in the South China Seas. And I'm going to see if that paradigm can be applied elsewhere. And I advise you to do the same. Let me know in the comments and chats what you think. And remember to like and subscribe. But let's...
take advantage of the fact that when it comes to the Arlington Cemetery story, we have the privilege and advantage of being able to hear directly from people affected, family members. Here's a mother-in-law of a killed service member. She says, we didn't hear back from the White House. Why would that be?
We invited both President Trump and the Biden-Harris administration, and we didn't hear back from the White House. We were happy to welcome President Trump to lay wreaths with all three of our families and our wounded, some of our wounded from that day. And when he came to Section 60,
It was at our request to spend time with our loved ones. There was not a press presence there. We privately took pictures among ourselves. And it was, you know, a more celebratory feeling for that day because, you know, we want to celebrate our loved ones and it's very hard to find ways to do that.
you know, at a cemetery. But they were very respectful. We didn't see any altercation. And really, we just want our loved ones to be honored and remembered in a positive way. Very difficult to go up against a grieving mother-in-law of a dead service member whose life was lost, potentially because of Kamala Harris's botched departure, a departure in which she played a role as the vice president of the United States during the time when it was enacted, although the problems in Afghanistan are, of course, insurmountable.
historic. And that CNN anchor's face said it all. Baffled, staring and confused. Clearly, this is a propaganda war. Seems to me, let me know what you think in the comments and chat, that Trump was doing the right thing. And if pictures were taken by family members, what's he going to do? Say no to them. What we are being trained to do by the media in this election cycle is to focus on the minutiae and hot
button topics this happens in every election cycle doesn't it you're the experts you understand what happens in your country and i would say that this story in particular is the perfect example for us to zoom right out and look at the macro what was the point of the afghanistan war how much money did it cost and what did it achieve what's going on in ukraine and russia across the middle east south china seas what is being achieved who is benefiting is there a way that ceasefires
Peace deals and diplomacy could be deployed rather than spend your taxpayer money and innocent lives of Americans and all of God's children across the world simply to line the pockets of powerful interests, simply to centralize further authority in the hands of the people.
that it seems to me increasingly do not deserve it. But that's just what I think. Let me know right now in the comments what you think. And remember, give us a thumbs up, subscribe to our channel, support us, and remember we stream every single day on Rumble. And if you are an Awaken Wonder, you can attend live events either today
streamed or actually in person. And there's a comment in the chat right now telling you how to do just exactly that. More important than any of that, though, if you can, please, please, in the holy name of the Lord, stay free. We've got a few more stories coming up for you right now. For example, well, hmm, hmm,
Hmm. Oh, the COVID reckoning. We've done that. What would you like to hear? Do you want to see about Trump confirming that he's looking to put both Elon Musk and RFK in the cabinet? Seems pretty interesting to me. Tulsi Gabbard saying the cabal of Democratic elite who are running the White House will not be leaving if Kamala Harris wins. That's interesting, isn't it? That's deep state stuff.
Or do you want to see Joe Rogan going off on Time magazine defending the ultra-processed food magazine? Not, excuse me, food industry magazine.
It's Time Magazine. Let's have a look first of all at Joe Rogan and then we'll see how much time we've got. So again, Joe Rogan is not hysterical. Joe Rogan seems to me incredibly practical and the problem that he provided the legacy media with, in particular during the COVID era, is that he was a counterpoint to their propaganda. In his e-
crazy inquisitive way he invited questions and often provided answers for his willingness to have difficult conversations with a variety of people that a legacy media simply wouldn't have now that bobby kennedy has joined the trump campaign health is on the agenda you may notice that the dnc only the usual hot button topics make it to the top culture war issues abortion etc but with rfk joining trump
suddenly people are talking about free speech, an end to censorship, an end to war, and perhaps most significantly of all, because don't you love your children more than you love free speech? I don't know, maybe, I guess so. Health, and in particular, the health of children. So Joe
Rogan here talks about the ultra processed food industry that you'll be familiar with because of man at the moment. Callie means guest on the show, friend of ours and longtime collaborator has popularized a lot of discourse around the type of foods that we're eating. They're essentially making us sick and ill.
We're sick and tired of being sick and tired. And thankfully, Joe Rogan is taking on this issue and the way that Time magazine, a once respected instrument or organ of the establishment, handle this matter. Let's have a look at that right now.
We have a massive health crisis in this country. The obesity crisis is really legitimate and it's terrifying that it's so prevalent and that no one's doing anything about it. And this is one of the things that RFK wants to do when he gets into office. And he's talking about seed oils and he's talking about a lot of different things that are terrible for health or ubiquitous in our diet and to put some regulations on that stuff and to recognize that these are real issues and to inform people that these are real issues and not just let these
Big food companies Just keep I saw a fucking article today In Time Magazine It is Wait a minute Is this Time Magazine Is still Time Magazine Is still out there Wow See if you can find The This cover This article It was Are super processed foods Really bad for you Oh fuck Seriously
This is the question. Instead of saying, wouldn't it be better to eat healthy, which everybody would agree, are super processed foods really that bad for you? Well, I can help you out there real quick. Yes. Here it is. From yesterday. Aren't as bad as you think. Oh, what if ultra processed food aren't as bad as you think? That's it. Well, they're not.
They're a lot worse! They're fucking terrible for you. What kind of bullshit argument is this? This is real. They are really bad for you. Jessica is passionate about the pupusas from Costco. Oh god, Jessica. How about, have a banana? And get on the treadmill, you fucking idiot. Like, what are we talking about? I got a bag of pupusas. It's fucking, we're eating shit that's terrible bad, that's really bad for you. That's sort of what the next thing says, I guess. Um.
Okay. It all started in the summer of 2023 when author and infectious disease physician, Dr. Chris Von Tuleken was promoting his book, Ultra Processed People. While writing it, Von Tuleken spent a month eating mostly foods like chips, soda, bag bread, frozen food, and cereal. What happened to me is exactly what the research says would happen to everyone. Von Tuleken says he felt worse, he gained weight, his hormone levels went crazy, and before and after MRI scans showed signs of changes in his brain.
As von Tuleken saw it, the experiment highlighted the terrible emergency of society's love affair with ultra-processed foods. Okay, but you have to, this next part is really, it's also really, Wilson, who specialized in working with clients from marginalized groups, oh, marginalized groups, was irked. She felt that von Tuleken's experiment was irked.
over sensationalized that news coverage of it shamed people who regularly eat processed food. Shamed them. That's what you get. That kind of fucking language drives me goddamn crazy. In other words, the vast majority of Americans, particularly the millions who are food insecure or have limited access to fresh food. They also tend to be lower income and people of color. Yeah, they fucking covered the whole spectrum.
Wilson felt the buzz ignored this food apartheid. Food apartheid. Fucking crazy. As well as the massive diversity of foods that can be considered ultra-processed, a category that includes everything from vegan meat replacements, which, by the way, are really fucking bad for you, and non-dairy milks, which, by the way, are really fucking bad for you, to potato chips and candy, which, by the way, are really fucking bad for you. How can this entire category of foods be something we're supposed to avoid? Because it's not!
fucking food it's not nutritious food absolutely astonishing to see that level of rhetoric you know if you're like my age you obviously remember media before this there really wasn't an equivalent there
There really wasn't an equivalent. I suppose we've started to take Joe Rogan for granted. He's been around a while. He's been derided. There's probably people in the chat right now saying he's controlled opposition. But to have someone who's so unguarded and authentic and so willing to speak out for what you'd have to regard as common sense, in particular, someone who probably doesn't care whether you agree with him or not.
or not is a very very powerful resource indeed to have in media spaces such as these ones in a way he is the battering ram that blasted open the doors of the mainstream allowing many many people to follow in his wake and I'm very glad to be one of them now we've got an incredible week for you this week more

Because me own nan had it, see. What's that, darling? You're right. You're right. You got any money? Oh, shame. What do you want? You hungry? What do you want? Omelette? Do you want a salad? It's a fucking nan salad, though. It's like...
Nans salad, cucumber, tomato, lettuce. That's it. What the fuck kind of salad is this bullshit, you lunatic? Have you never heard of a caper? Goat's cheese, you'll be fucking lucky. Croutons, piss off.
