Chapters

Russell Brand analyzes the legacy media's coverage of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, contrasting it with their potential reaction to a similar attack on Kamala Harris. He questions their narrative and motives, suggesting a deliberate downplaying of the event's significance and a potential bias towards the Democratic Party.
  • The BBC's report started by stating Trump was fine, a stark contrast to how an attack on a Democrat might be portrayed.
  • CNN and MSNBC seemed to have standardized, almost dismissive responses to assassination attempts.
  • MSNBC appeared to blame Trump's rhetoric for the attack.
  • Brand emphasizes the unusual nature of two assassination attempts during an election campaign.

Now please enjoy this episode of Stay Free with Russell Brand. Thanks. Hello, you awakening wonders. Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand. It's so beautiful to be with you, even though it's an extraordinary day because the...

rapidly increasing whirl of extraordinary events shows no sign of abating. Of course, we'll be talking about this latest assassination attempt and trying to understand what it means and how it relates to issues of special services and special forces and the protection of Donald Trump and what the extraordinary connections that Ryan...

Ralph seems to have indicate and we're also going to be speaking to Jimmy Dore in a matter of moments as well. First of all, let's, I suppose, have a look at how the legacy media are handling a story that seems to me pretty astonishing. As you know,

I'm English. I'm used to the BBC. I'm used to the BBC reporting on matters in a somewhat peculiar manner. Here, when they're reporting on an assassination attempt, look at how they very deliberately curate the information.

We'll be with you on YouTube for the first 15 minutes, then as Jimmy Dore comes on, we'll be exclusively available on Rumble. Remember, consider becoming an Awaken Wonder. We have all sorts of additional content for you there. To get started, let's have a look at the legacy media, the BBC, state-funded reporting on this assassination attempt. Donald Trump says he's safe and well after reports of gun...

Firstly, nothing wrong with Donald Trump. Let's just lead with that. Donald Trump's fine. That's the end of the story. Can you imagine if this was an assassination attempt on Kamala Harris? Do you imagine the report would begin, Kamala Harris is fine. She's feeling better than ever. She was seen giggling. Or do you imagine that there might be an attempt to utilize the potential positive feeling and galvanization that could be derived?

from, you know, what looks like another assassination attempt. Shots described to have been fired in his vicinity. Local officials in Palm Beach in Florida say it happened in the grounds of his golf course while he was playing. An AK-47 assault rifle has apparently been recovered and a man is in custody while Tom Bateman is live in Washington with the very latest for us now. Tom, what more have you got?

Well, what is clear so far, Clive, is that this happened three hours ago as Donald Trump was playing golf. He was said to be between holes at his private course on West Palm Beach in Florida. Now, law enforcement officials say that multiple gunshots were heard at that moment.

in a minute we'll be getting to the extraordinary connections that the alleged shooter i suppose no shots were fired but it's obviously being regarded as an assassination attempt has to among other things ukraine potentially deep state ties as we attempt to understand why in the approach to the election why there seems to be a sudden proliferation of assassination attempts remember up to

Up to the point where lawfare was deemed to be potentially successful, there were no assassination attempts. Once the lawfare route appeared to be exhausted, there are assassination attempts. Difficult to make absolute sense of this in the very early stages, but one thing we can say is it appears to have gone from lawfare to, well, assassination attempts. And the Secret Service detail that was protecting him at the time

returned fire, there was a suspect that was seen and then seemed to flee, to run away from the scene. Now, law enforcement officials say they have recovered a weapon and a scope from the scene there and they are at the moment around a wooded area on the edge of that golf course. Now, separately, the local sheriff in

Firegirl2020 in the Awaken Wonder chat asked, what do you mean the lawfare route? The lawfare route, lawfare is a term that is used when the state deploys legal means to smear, attack,

financially cripple or exhaust political opponents. It means that the judiciary has likely to some degree been corrupted and that the law itself, which is regarded as objective, can be weaponised. It's the weaponisation of

of the law. West Palm County says that they closed the interstate highway after this, trying to find what they described as a suspect. They have stopped a car and detained a person that they say is of interest. That person now in the custody of the FBI and the car itself is being searched. Now, what had

been unclear until a few moments ago is whether or not Donald Trump was the intended target of this apparent shooting. Some US media were reporting unnamed law enforcement officials saying that he was the intended target, but that matter seems to have been cleared up in the last few minutes as the FBI have put out a very short statement saying that they are investigating this as an attempted assassination of Donald Trump.

What that means is we have now witnessed what is potentially the second attempt on the former president's life during this election campaign. Remember, it was just over two months ago that a 20-year-old man tried to kill him at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania that led to the resignation of the director of the secret services over failures in that now Donald Trump himself his motorcade has been seen leaving the resort there and heading to Mar-a-Lago which is just a few miles away his resort in um

Florida. Donald Trump himself has given a short statement in a campaign fundraising email. He has said there were gunshots in my vicinity, but before the rumors spiral out of control, I wanted you to hear this. I am safe and well. Nothing will slow me down. He says I will never surrender.

overwhelming isn't it to hear continual reports of assassination attempts particularly when like today we would be playing be quiet bear it's my dog sorry about that bear come here what's wrong what's the matter

But today we were planning to talk about missile strikes in deeper inside of Russia and the likelihood that that could lead to the apocalypse. We're planning to talk about how lobbying and donor interests are able, it seems, to maneuver from behind the scenes. The passing of bills, the declaring and funding of wars.

We're living in such an extraordinary time that like when I first saw assassination attempt on Donald Trump, I just thought maybe my feed is like firing up old videos. But no, sure enough, it's another assassination attempt. You know, I wonder how CNN are going to report on this. Donald Trump attempts to headbutt bullets. Donald Trump on golf course, potentially provoking another would-be assassin. Before we get into Ryan Ralph and his work,

odd, extraordinary connections. Let's have a look at CNN's reporting on this matter. It appears that around 2 o'clock shots were fired at the golf course, possibly coming from the tree line while former President Trump was playing golf. The Secret Service identified the direction and the shooter returned fire at that gunman who fled

Witnesses were able to provide a description of an individual and a vehicle. We are told that a vehicle that is close to that description has been stopped by Palm Beach County Police, possibly in Martin County, just over the line, and that they are holding that individual for the purposes of identification.

It looks like, in a way, CNN have now got a kind of standardised response to assassination attempts. Let's have a look at how MSNBC are covering it. It seems that they are blaming Trump. Now, as we get closer and closer to this election, I'm starting to run out of potential plot lines that could take place. It comes to something when Alex Jones just seems like a perfectly reasonable candidate

predictor of events. Alex Jones, of course, said that it would be likely there'd be another attempt on Trump's life. You'll be familiar with both of the Weinsteins, Eric and Brett, saying that Trump won't be allowed to stand that something will happen prior to the election. And

events like this, I mean, how do you feel about it? This isn't about whether or not you like Trump. This is about whether or not I suppose you feel that Trump is a disruption to the intended trajectory of globalists, in particular with their intentions towards increasing and expanding war between Ukraine and Russia, across the Middle East, and maybe eventually with China. Let me know what you think about that in the

comments and chat. I'm talking to the likes of you, Sean Keane, and you, Johnny Kickass, and all of you awakened wonders in the locals chat. Let's have a look at how MSNBC declare that this assassination attempt, this latest, most recent assassination attempt, was potentially caused by Trump's own rhetoric. Let's look. Yeah. Do you expect there to be calls from within the Trump campaign to do that?

because he's going to reach out to his supporters and say, let's take this down. We do not know, again, the source of any gunshot or gunshots. We don't know who's responsible for this. The whole thing has yet to be 100% confirmed from start to finish how this all played out. But do you expect to hear anything from the Trump campaign about toning down the rhetoric, toning down the violence, or would that be atypical?

of the form of the font. How you can point the finger at the Trump campaign, who have used various types of extraordinary rhetoric in a variety of ways, I suppose, over time, that seems less relevant than the fact that it's Trump that's being shot at. It's fascinating to hear the media, particularly in the form of MSNBC, that have normalised attacks and demonisation of Donald Trump. Remember,

A little while ago we looked at Donald Trump's appearance on The View and it's just like, "Hey, here's businessman and playboy Donald Trump spending a little time with Joy Reid and Whoopi Goldberg." Like it was no big deal. When you are able to calibrate this election campaign with events across the world, in particular the increase of hostility in various conflicts and various regions,

You begin to think that it's unlikely that the reason that the establishment and the legacy media loathe Donald Trump is because he said some crazy inappropriate stuff or he might be a bit of an old school 80s kind of entrepreneur tycoon character. It's more likely, I think, based on what I learned during the pandemic period, based on what I've learned during personal experiences, that in some way or another, he is a disruption already.

of their intended agenda. I think that's a lot more likely than, "We just hate this Donald Trump guy because, you know, he's racist or whatever." - Or president. - Well, Alex, remember back to the assassination attempt on President Trump's life and how, you know, there was talk of a new tone and then the Republican convention was, by Trumpian standards, muted. And it did seem like he was, you know,

just trying to take it down a few notches, but... I can't even properly as a mental exercise imagine how this would be reported on if it was Kamala Harris. I can't, like, if Kamala Harris had had two assassination attempts on her life in the last couple of months,

I don't know how that would be reported. Yes, I do actually. I'm beginning to see it now. It would be like this. Do you see? This is what we are dealing with when we talk about hate, when we talk about danger, when we talk about the need to stop this hateful movement, when we tell you every day that he's going to make himself dictator on day one and there's going to be a bloodbath, both of which, if you look at them in context, are clearly sort of glib little asides and jokes.

You have to. Your only choice is to vote for the Democratic Party. You have to allow us to imprison Donald Trump. You have to allow us to ban the MAGA movement. You have to allow us to take Bobby Kennedy, chain him up and ride him around on the top of the

car like he's one of his own hunting trophies if this was reversed i'm beginning to see it would be utilized in order to justify further authority and legislation but that's just what i think why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and chat then

By the end of his convention speech, you know, we were kind of back to where we started. So I don't know how long this could last. You know, this moment of unity for the country where we come together and we say, I don't want any political opposition to be under threat of violence. It's not OK. Any threat of violence, you know, we don't want. I would love for us to have a unity type moment, but I think it's probably going to be pretty fleeting, as we've seen in the past.

This story is only all the more extraordinary when you look into the peculiar history of Ryan Ralph. They have not been able to scrub the internet fast enough and some extraordinary details remain. A lot of people are talking about moles within the Secret Service. A lot of people are talking about his odd affiliations and connection to Ukraine. He's been there. It seems that he's tried to recruit foreign fighters. We'll be getting into that

in our next piece of content. What do I think is happening? I'm at a loss to try to understand the pace and extraordinariness of events. I'm beginning to think that the whole matrix is glitching and that our only possible way out of this madness is some sort of immediate...

spontaneous spiritual enlightenment. But that's not even what I think. That's just what I pray for. Let me know what you think and pray for in the comments and the chat. Wherever you're watching this, remember to like and subscribe. We're going to be on YouTube for a couple more minutes now, but then we'll be streaming exclusively at our home on

rumble and we will be talking to Jimmy Dore about this issue as well as the rally I think you're okay to call it a rally that both of us are participating in Rescue the Republic that's coming later this month before we do that here's a quick word from one of our partners at Airstech let's have a look

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.

Let's start the countdown because we are going to be communicating with Jimmy Dore, ally, friend, comedian, madman, wandering, shaman, and

potential cartilage between what was once regarded as the left and what's now regarded as the right but surely has to become called at this point the anti-establishment movement thank you jimmy door for joining us today if you're watching us on youtube click the link in the description come join me and jimmy on rumble hi jimmy and hello hello jimmy hello jimmy how lovely to see you that's all

Let's get Jimmy on my monitor, guys. Jimmy, I'm so happy to see you. You look lovely. Your logo looks good. Your hair looks good. Thank you for joining me on this extraordinary day in America. It is an extraordinary day in America. You know, it's funny. I still see people who I respect saying things like, you know, if Trump gets assassinated, they're just going to replace him with a carbon copy of Trump. And again, you know, I'm not voting for Trump, but you cannot deny now that

What was Russia? Right. So Russia was the deep state, along with the corporate media and the Democratic and Republican establishment coming together to try to discredit Donald Trump. And it led directly to the Ukraine war. They tried to impeach him. They did impeach him twice.

Then they did January 6th, which I just found out. Of course, we all know that there was FBI assets and FBI agent provocateurs that made that happen. Nancy Pelosi on a video I just saw said that on that day, January 6th, she said, oh, they breached, they're trespassing on federal land. This is exactly what we wanted.

So the idea that that was engineered by the deep state has a lot of evidence to it. Plus, I just found out they did the same thing in Brazil to Bolsonaro. He was the Trump of Brazil. And they did the exact same January 6th style event so they could make it illegal for him to run for president. And then they did 91, 92 lawfare felony indictments to Donald Trump.

So they're not they never did anything like this to any other president or ex-president. And they only did this when he announced he was going to run again. So they're they're deaf. He's definitely at some point a thorn in the side of the establishment and the military industrial complex. And my guess is that Donald Trump had the crazy idea that the president was supposed to be in charge of the military industry.

and the intelligence community well that hasn't been the case with any of our presidents and john f kennedy was assassinated and so this is obviously a pro you cannot deny what's going on and then these two assassination attempts you can pretend they're just randos uh or you can say what if if the deep state was trying to do something like that this is exactly how it would look but uh anyway uh so it's not a normal day this isn't normal times and of course

uh there's something about donald trump that the establishment is deathly afraid of and it's the same thing they're afraid of with imran khan it's the same thing they're afraid of with bolsonaro and elon musk for that matter there uh he's a billionaire who somehow went rogue a little bit he's the only president of my life that didn't start another war uh and and he thinks he should control the military in the intelligence community i think this is the problem

and uh... that's why there's definitely the and look at this look at it this way the c_i_a_ didn't lie on behalf of donald trump they lied on behalf of joe biden and kamala harris uh... so they they also lied about russia gay they didn't do that and at the behest of donald trump did at the end of joe biden and kamala harris so here we are and i can't i can't ignore those things but a lot of people want to pretend that those things didn't happen and that they don't mean anything they certainly mean something

What meaning do you attribute to the fact that Ryan Ralph's social media history looks peculiar? Self-funded trips to the Ukraine, offers to get passports for foreign nationals. There's a lot of contentious conjecture, Jimmy. What do you make of all that?

if you i saw a video he was actually interviewed by newsweek in 2022 this guy because he was trying to get uh people to go fight in the ukraine war on the behalf of ukraine and if you listen to him he has the mind of a child he's been fully propaganda you know if this was a if this was an arab terrorist

or a Muslim terrorist, everybody in the corporate media in the United States anyway would be saying, "Where did this guy get radicalized?" So when you look at a video of this guy talking, he talks about that the Ukraine-Russia war is a fight between good and evil. That's it. That's as far as his analysis goes because that's what he's told on corporate news media here in the United States.

That's what the New York Times tells them. That's what the Washington Post tell them. They'll never tell them the truth about the origins of the Ukraine war that the United States and the West provoked this war. You know, half the world, everybody outside the West is siding with Russia, India, China. Everybody else knows that the United States and NATO provoked this war. They know that we overthrew the democratically elected government in Ukraine. So anyway, that's where this guy comes from. That's where that assassin comes from, uh,

He's been totally radicalized by corporate news. And as you were talking about earlier, they're constantly saying that Donald Trump is Hitler. Donald Trump is a threat to our democracy. And if you really believe that, then it would almost be the moral thing to do to try to get rid of Donald Trump. And so this is how they've radicalized people here in the United States and people have

the country at least is brainwashed into believing this stuff. You know, I show every day on my show that the establishment loved Donald Trump up until the time he became president, right up until Stephen Colbert was thanking him for running for president when he was in the Republican

primary his whole his whole crowd cheered on Donald Trump in fact Stephen Colbert said everybody loves Donald Trump the view loved him every late-night talk show loved him Oprah Winfrey said they should both run for office together everybody loved Donald Trump until in fact NBC gave him his own network television show for ten years

and Hollywood gave him Emmy nominations. So this idea that somehow he became Hitler and Stalin overnight, and all of a sudden the biggest racist we've ever seen is a concoction of the media that's controlled by the billionaire class that also controls the military-industrial complex, and that's what this is all about. As Julian Assange taught us, these wars are not meant to be won. They're meant to be ongoing.

As you've just beautifully unpacked for us, Jimmy, Donald Trump was an establishment figure for a long time within media, within business, even within Hollywood. And the fact that there's been such a brilliant repositioning of him in the culture is an indication that somehow he is an obstacle to the interests of the powerful. And I can't help but think that those interests in particular include war. It seems like

war in particular is the issue where they want absolute control of the narrative. I was very surprised after Bobby Kennedy joined the Donald Trump campaign that we didn't see more media that focused on the fact that truly now if someone from the left of the Democrat Party, albeit an imperfect person, but you'd have to say from the to the left of the Democrat Party could join the MAGA movement, we do indeed have the big

beginnings of some sort of anti-establishment bulwark. Now I know Jimmy you're very good at diagnosing the problems and flaws but isn't that alliance sufficient indeed to warrant some new support, some new interest and isn't it and what do you think is the significance of war when it comes to the continuing condemnation of Trump no matter what allies he accrues?

Well, what I've been saying since Bobby Kennedy made that speech at a Trump rally in Arizona was that whether you think Trump is sincere,

about working and doing the agenda that Bobby laid out. What is what because what Bobby laid out is traditional Democratic Party values that they don't ever talk about anymore. He talked about ending a war, investing that money back here. The people cheered. He talked about cleaning up our food supply, our water supply, taking on big agribusiness and cleaning up the corruption inside our corporate captured regulatory agencies like the FDA and the CDC. And

He talked about fighting the explosion of childhood obesity. And there was a stadium full of Republican voters that cheered those things. Those are traditional Democratic policy values. And so what I say is like, I can cheer for those things. And a stadium full of Republican voters can cheer. It doesn't matter if Trump is sincere about doing that. They also talked about draining the swamp. So it doesn't matter if you think Trump is sincere or not.

Those voters are sincere. They like the same things that I've been saying on my show for at least the last four or five years is that the biggest threat to the establishment and the oligarchy, because that's what we live in, it's not a democracy, is that if the people on the left

and the right realize that we actually have more in common and we share a common enemy and that common enemy is the oligarchy that's been screwing it. So now they get us to hate immigrants. They get us to hate each other. They get us to hate Donald Trump. They create boogeymen. They have to keep doing this to keep us voting for tools of the military industrial complex, which is exactly what Joe Biden is.

which is exactly what Kamala Harris is, which is exactly what anybody else that would be allowed to be nominated for president would be. So that's exactly what's going on. And so I'm very excited about that. So what Bobby Kennedy revealed is that there's a whole half of the country that actually agrees with us. And so you see the media and their minions trying to scramble to try to discredit that message.

Right now, they're using lawfare against Bobby Kennedy. Now he's being investigated by some federal agency. And people aren't ever going to—I hope people wake up to this, but the only hope of people waking up to it is shows like yours and shows like mine, because the corporate media is never going to tell them that. Right now, the corporate media is busy blaming Donald Trump for his own two assassination attempts.

And they're busy pretending and memory-holing the fact that the media used to love Donald Trump, and he's a billionaire. And by the way, the Clintons were best friends. Donald Trump's kids and Clinton's kids are best friends. They all golfed together. They all went to each other's third and fourth weddings together. In fact, it was the Clintons who encouraged Donald Trump to run for president. Do you know that? Yes. So this idea that all of a sudden he became this...

uh pariah overnight uh needs further investigation and my guess is that donald trump thinks the president should control the military and the intelligence community and they cannot let that happen you know chuck schumer who was the leading democrat when donald trump became president he was the leading democrat in the country he was on the rachel maddow show and and donald trump was going after the deep state the cia the nsa the fbi

saying they're corrupt and they want more war. And so Chuck Schumer, the leading Democrat, said on television that Donald Trump is being really dumb to go after the intelligence community because they have six ways to Sunday to get back at Donald Trump. And so what he revealed unwittingly was that the CIA and the FBI and the NSA, they don't work for the president.

And the president should be afraid of the intelligence community. Well, if they don't work for the president, the obvious follow-up question is, well, who do they work for? Of course, Rachel Maddow didn't ask that question because she works for the same people that the CIA worked for, which is a handful of billionaires and corporations and the military-industrial complex that actually run the government in the United States.

I love the way that you describe that this is a truly global phenomenon, whether it's Imran Khan in Pakistan or Bolsonaro in Brazil. Any opponent of what appears to be an insidious and increasingly powerful global regime can be discredited and even jailed in order to prevent meaningful opposition to their agenda emerging.

Jimmy, do you suppose that the fact that if Trump were president, it's less likely that NATO would be greenlighting the use of missiles deeper inside Russian territory, which Putin himself has said would mean that NATO and Russia are at war? Do you imagine that that's part of this sort of heightening amplification of hostilities against Trump as we approach the election?

Well, Russell, during the debate, Donald Trump, Donald Trump was the one who had to raise the blow the whistle and the warning flag about, hey, he says Russia has nuclear weapons.

You don't want a war with these people. Russia has, he's the one bringing up the possible calamity of nuclear war and going to war with a nuclear power. You know who's not bringing that up? Anybody else. Everybody else is, oh, we have to have the most lethal fighting force in the world. That's a direct quote from

from Kamala Harris and that she tried to shame him by saying that he would end the Ukraine war. In fact, they promised to end the Ukraine war. And then right now MSNBC is report and CNN is reporting that that's a threat. We can't allow that. Of course, that's exactly what we need. And what the NATO and the West is doing is using the people. Everybody's upset about Palestine and Israel, rightly so.

more people have been slaughtered in the ukraine war uh some estimates of 500 000 ukrainians there that have been slaughtered in this war and nobody talks about that genocide that's happening and that's been instigated by the united states and nato and the west in our media and if

And so, yeah, that is a big problem for them because Donald Trump and Bobby Kennedy have vowed to end that war and they don't want that war to end. That was the only reason Joe Biden was allowed to end the Afghanistan war, which went on for 20 years. And when they were when people were patting Joe Biden on the back for ending the Ukraine war,

I mean, the Afghanistan war. I said, well, let's wait and see what he plans to do with the money that they've been spending in Afghanistan. Is he going to invest it back here or are they going to do another war? And of course they let him do that because they had another war on at the ready, which was the Ukraine war, which we've now spent hundreds of billions of dollars. I mean, imagine if we invested that money back in the United States, we could have ended homelessness. Everybody could go to college for free. We could have infrastructure. But

But this is how all empires end, Russell, as you know, by overextending militarily. And this is all about imperialism, which is exactly what the immigration problem is about in the West also. It's about our imperialism. We go and we turn Libya into a failed state. We go and create millions of refugees in Iraq. We do the same thing in Yemen, Somalia, Sudan. And we're trying to do it. And we did it in Syria.

And so we now we do it in the South here. We do it in the South America. We do it in Haiti. We do it in Venezuela. We do economic sanctions on those people. We try to overthrow their governments. That's just the way the United States Western economic hitmen work. And so.

People need to wake up to that and they're trying to create chaos all over the West. And why is chaos always favor the establishment? Remember that. Because when you have chaos, people are then begging for authoritarian solutions to their problems. And that's exactly what they want.

Chaos benefits authoritarian solutions. Jimmy, you and I, in our own rather gentle and sweet way, are participating in a rally to oppose these interests, the Rescue the Republic event, which is taking place on the 29th of September in Washington, D.C. Now, I've pulled up the image of Washington crossing the Delaware, in which you'd predict Donald Trump would be granted the role of George Washington. Who are you?

on that boat Jimmy are you like the man in the tri-cornered hat at the back of the boat do you have you managed to spot yourself in the poster for this event

I'm just somebody who is interested in waking people up to what's actually going on. And the biggest thing, I think, is the attack on freedom of speech. And, you know, that's the hallmark of democracy. And censorship is also the hallmark of authoritarian dictators. And somehow, because of the fear of Donald Trump and this pretend inflated propaganda about Russia,

The United States has gotten half there, at least half the people to be okay with censorship. And they think we need to say, I mean, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are out there bragging about they want to censor people. And so I'm there to fight for censorship against censorship. I'm there to fight for freedom of speech.

Because if you don't have freedom of speech, you don't have freedom, you don't have democracy. We haven't had democracy in the United States for at least 40 years. We've had an oligarchy, which has been proven by a Princeton study. And so I'm here to fight back and find a way to wake people up so we can take back our government and take back our democracy. Hopefully, I think that's the most important thing. The most important thing is freedom of speech.

It's great to be joining you there on that day and it doesn't seem to me like you have any trouble with freedom of speech, Jimmy. I've never known anyone produce so much language under so many different conditions with so much dexterity. I'm excited to be there with you on the 29th of September.

in Washington. It's free to anyone who wants to attend it and I will be doing a special event for those of you that are members of my Awaken Wonder community on Locals. You can email us at tickets at Russell Brand if you are an Awaken Wonder and we'll sort out a special meet and greet for you there on that day. Jimmy, thank you so much for joining me, particularly on such an unusual day in your country, but it seems that every day is unusual in your country at the moment. It's great to talk with you, Russell. I can't wait to see you in Washington, D.C., September 29th.

Okay, guys, now we've discussed the media's coverage of the astonishing events of the last 24 hours. Another assassination attempt on the life of Donald Trump, this time while he was, as BBC said, between holes on a golf course, which is...

sort of an odd detail for them to report. Would it be what, at a hole, in a hole? In any event, no shots were fired, but it's the identity of the perpetrator or would-be perpetrator that is raising most questions. Ryan Ralph seems to have a pretty extraordinary social media history.

Let's have a look at that now together. This is a very enjoyable little video that I've been watching. What number is that? Yeah, there it is. Yeah, let's have a look at this. This is a brilliant little figure Instagram video that makes some interesting observations about the social media history of Ryan Ralph grabbed prior to it being scrubbed. This goes beyond the usual territory of socials.

speculative conspiracy theory pundits you know a moniker that i'm often given edward snowden himself considers this to be an unusual event in fact two assassination attempts on the life of a presidential candidate in a matter of months has got to be considered peculiar by anybody's standards let's have a look at this video before having a a more intrinsic and integrated look into the

peculiar identity of the man that has made the most recent and hopefully last assassination attempt on Donald Trump. This time, the internet was wise and archived all of his socials as much as possible before the FBI took it all down. So here's some basics on what we know about him and one really interesting rabbit hole about who he might be. Right off the bat though, it's super early. This is all speculative. Take your time, pump the brakes,

We're just digging through dirty laundry. We don't know what sticks yet. But this guy is a private American citizen who traveled to Ukraine on his own dime, question mark, to help recruit civilian soldiers to fight for Ukraine and Afghan special forces he was like recruiting on his Facebook page. Here's an archive of all of his tweets that look pretty damn automated to me. They pretty much all look like this. But I grabbed everyone that he followed on Twitter before they deleted it. He only followed 60.

And right down at the bottom of that list, which I think indicates his first follow, is this girl named Sue Kim, who is ex-CIA along with some other very interesting things. But her account is private, meaning why does he follow her? I've been digging around and one of my followers said that they found her in the people that follow him back. He says that she was at the bottom of his followed list, meaning that she followed him right when he made the account.

that would make sense seeing as she's at the bottom of his following list of who he follows too i mean every asset needs a handler and when you go through some of these other affiliations here you get what is essentially the cia training grounds at john hopkins university

It explores the relationship between politics and the many kinds of military power, from the use of terror by small non-state groups to the threatened use of nuclear weapons. Its director is John McLaughlin, who is literally an ex-acting director of the CIA and ex-deputy director of the CIA, three decade career at the CIA. David is third on the list of people at the top of this institution at the university.

30-year career in Army Special Forces, various special operations invading various countries, as well as Operation Enduring Freedom. You get the idea. Anyways, RAND Corporation. That's a military industrial complex think tank, kind of like the Atlantic Council. And LMI Org. Yeah, that's like a military industrial complex education and training program as well. Preliminary.

No wonder the legacy media has to toe the line so assiduously when it comes to matters of this nature because the change in independent media is so epochal and extraordinary that they have to work incredibly hard to ensure that people don't

gain access to if not accurate reporting then at least open reporting it's still early in this process and no one can make any definitive claims about ryan ralph but it does seem a little unusual that he has some of the connections that have already been listed before we get into met's attempt to scrub the online space of any data that could be unfavorable let's look at alex jones's

earlier prediction that there would likely be another attempt on the life of Donald Trump. Then we will have a look at further evidence that he could be a CIA asset, as well as an interview about the Ukraine war in 2022 that Jimmy Dore, our guest on the show today, alluded to. First of all, though, let's look at Alex Jones's prediction that there will be more assassination attempts. Remember, let me know in the comments and the

chat what you think about this story. I know Bongino's saying that there's like a mole at the Secret Service. Let me know, guys, where you stand on this. The deep state already tried to kill him and failed on July 13th of this year, just 40-something days ago. And two days after it happened, I came out and said, the deep state is going to try again and they're going to try to frame Iran.

Ladies and gentlemen, I told you that we're not in normal times. World War III, nuclear war is this close. They just fired five shots at Trump and hit him in the side of the head. And the media's like, oh, big deal. He survived an assassination attempt. And now they've tried to kill him with a gun?

They're going to try to poison him. So Trump... Very, very odd time, isn't it? To try and make any kind of sense of this takes incredible mental discipline. It's certainly beyond my ability to remain calm and compassionate and open. It seems that Ryan Ralph made 19 contributions to Democrats since 2019. There's a little record of that. That's posted by Benny Johnson, of course. And...

Let's have a look at this, that Meta have already attempted to scrub his Facebook page of any information that might be new.

That's already happening now as we just said there was apparently a video Ryan Roof was interviewed about Ukraine in 2022. I've not seen this yet. Let's have a look 56 from the US US from North Carolina originally still live in Hawaii now so flew all the way from Hawaii here so the question as far as why I'm here is

To me, a lot of the other conflicts are gray, but this conflict is definitely black and white. This is about good versus evil. This is a storybook. Any movie we ever watch, this is definitely evil against good.

Now that is pretty a reductive analysis from the sort of moon-eyed man-child as Jimmy Dore said. It's someone that doesn't appear to be particularly politically sophisticated saying that's not a claim that I'm making. What interests me most of all is the fact that there are any connections to the deep state at all that there seems to be particular connotations when it

comes to the subject of war and once again the media whether that's the BBC, CNN or MSNBC are reporting on this matter in a way that's certainly favourable one might regard to the interests of the Democratic Party. I want you to imagine for a moment that this situation was reversed. Can you envisage

how it might be reported on if this was an attempt on a candidate from, on the life, excuse me, of a candidate from another party. I think we're so sort of bewildered by the pace of news, the rate of news, the deluge of new information that it's sort of, it's obviously impossible to remain objective at the best of times. But now I feel like it's a sort of...

kind of like almost diabetic sugar rush pace of constant new information I can't keep up with. How are you supposed to make sense of this now? How are you meant to offer a proper prognosis on what's going to happen between now and the election when there's been two assassination attempts

What are you doing here in Ukraine?

My initial goal was to come and fight. I think everybody around the globe should be motivated to come here and support the Ukrainians and support the army, no matter what gender, age, anything. Everybody should be here supporting the army. But I'm 56, so initially they were like, well, I have no military experience. So they were like, you're not an ideal candidate.

So they said, not right this minute. So plan B was to come here to Kyiv and promote getting more people here. We need thousands and thousands and thousands of people here fighting with the Ukrainians. We've got 190 countries around the world and we need thousands from all of them. If the governments will not send their official military, then we civilians have to pick up the torch and make this thing happen.

That's extraordinary. I suppose if that were another issue, another subject, another conflict, it would be difficult not to see that kind of rhetoric as the result of radicalisation. Do you remember how popular that term was when young British men and women were joining ISIS? What's radicalised them increasingly?

I'm beginning to believe that what we regard as the mainstream dominant culture is in itself extreme. Extreme in that it extracts real compassion. Extreme in that it extracts real reason. Extreme in that it encourages a kind of institutional solipsism. What I mean by that is that all of us live so sort of entrenched within our own thoughts, within our own wants, within our own fears.

that we've lost touch not only with our divine selves but even our animal selves that every

concept that would have once been regarded as ordinary and normal within our culture whether that's gender identity or family has become chaotic and mercurial and challenged and i'll just let you know that personally i believe that people should be free to express themselves however they wanna as long as it's consensual and

age appropriate and as long as it's in harmony with the actions and wants and requirements and in respect towards other people. But I tell you, we're entering into an oddly nihilistic period of ubiquitous despair.

constant crises and a cycle of news stories that's very very difficult to keep track of like the Weinsteins, Brett and Eric it's difficult to imagine that early in November there's going to be an election and

Trump or Kamala will be elected and the other party will bow respectfully and we'll get on with the business of running your country, America, and using diplomacy to bring about peace in the Middle East and de-escalate tensions there and end this senseless and unwinnable war against Russia. Doesn't seem at all likely, does it? Seems what's likely is yet.

more hysteria and yet more madness his friend of the show and a guest that we just had now jimmy door on the subject quick x post of his he's talking about that newsweek interview and how sort of simplistic his approach was and indeed reiterating the point they made during our interview about radicalization perhaps the problem is is that we truly live in a radicalized society now

"Radicalized nihilism, radicalized indifference, radicalized delusion, radicalized disconnection from meaning and from spirit and from family and from love, a globalized and corporatized carousel redundant of meaning, redolent only of the kind of luminosity that emerges from the darkest forces imaginable." By that I mean the kind of light that comes from

evil but that's just why i think why don't you let me know what you guys think in the comments and chat remember if you're watching this anywhere other than rumble like and subscribe and if you're watching it on rumble like and subscribe and continue and consider becoming a member of rumble premium and if you're not an awakened wonder yet why ain't

Thank you.

the the truculence and conflagration across the United Kingdom recently the riots that took place in the UK after the murder of three little girls and sort of attacks and I think and hospitalization about eight other people which led via some pretty irresponsible online posting to the increased vilification of the

migrant community. Seems though that people want to have a serious conversation and maybe even a referenda on what migration ought look like in 2024.

Majid Nawaz, excellent guest on the show, has himself been maligned and marginalized, removed even from legacy media spaces, the places that used to employ him. Here he is talking about censorship and being shut down by the mainstream. This is already up on Locals. Have a little look at that if you're a member. I'm talking to all you guys over there, like my mate Sensi of Hearts.

Like all of my little mates over there. Who can I see over there? USA Now, At Affection, South Ascending, all of you guys. Check it out. Let me know what you think about it. We've already posted it there. Here he is. Do I want to integrate into a culture that says I can be jabbed against my will, that says I can be masked or gagged? I never complied with any of those mandates. Why LBC sack me?

I see. LBC is a British radio station on which Majid was a popular presenter up until COVID and you lost your job. Exactly why? Just because we're at that point. I boycotted the booster shots and all other shots after that point, saying that this was ridiculous when they implemented the no jab, no job thing for the NHS staff. And I came out against that and they basically sat me on Twitter. Oh.

Have a look at that. If you use the code in the wise, that's N A W A Z. You can get a month of locals free on locals. We do a lot of stuff. I did my Russell brand standup breakdown where I look at my favorite standup comedians. I also do Bible studies there. If that's your thing and I answer your questions, you can send them guys, uh,

would you would you put would you put a link in both the rumble chat and the awakened or wonder chat for uh questions and stuff and well actually in the rumble chat you should tell people how to join because you won't be able to ask questions if you haven't joined us okay um hey listen

One of the stories that we would have been talking about, had it not been for the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, second assassination attempt on Donald Trump, was Putin's assertion that if we continue and by we I mean NATO powers to arm Ukraine to the degree where it threatens Russian sovereignty, it would lead to an

all-out war with nato new missiles that are likely to be granted to ukrainian fighting forces offer exactly that threat let me know in the comments and chat how you feel about this ongoing escalating conflict and whether or not you consider the prevention of nuclear war to be

in a sense the most supreme priority that we could be addressing here is vladimir putin presumably in russian saying that if there are attacks within russia it's all out war we want to turn out of the war in ukraine and fears of a wider conflict president biden and uk's prime minister met on friday to discuss allowing the ukrainian military to use long

range missiles to strike deep inside Russia. But Russian President Vladimir Putin is now warning of severe consequences if that happens. The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been pleading with allies for months to let his country fire long range Western made missiles deep into Russian territory. We're talking specifically

We'll quickly hear about the US attackings and the British storm shadows. Until it's given the green light by Western countries, the Ukrainian military cannot hit those Russian targets. But the US and the UK appear increasingly open to lifting the restrictions, which prompted a warning from Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, saying that if Ukraine fired those weapons into Russian territory, he would consider the US and other NATO countries directly involved and therefore

at war with Russia. His remarks signal he may be willing to escalate against the West in response, and some Western officials are concerned this could mean acts of sabotage against their infrastructure or possibly, Peter, NATO bases.

In recent days we have heard...

It doesn't seem like it. It says that the assets are still here. Let's have a look at Justin Trudeau, who you might imagine would be the kind of voice of reason and liberalism that's required when you find yourself in a tricky situation. Here's Justin Trudeau saying it's perfectly OK.

for Ukraine to use long-range weaponry against Russia and he personally will absorb any nuclear attacks into his haircut. Vladimir Putin says Russia will be at war with NATO if Ukraine uses long-range missiles deep into Russia. How far into Russia do you think Ukraine should be able to strike? Vladimir Putin is striking regularly in the heart of Ukraine.

he's sending missiles and bombs at hospitals uh at and if he's doing it then why shouldn't we do it he who smell it's not far he who smell it dealt it who denied it supplied it this is a nuclear attack justin daycare centers at families and communities across ukraine and it was his choice his

He started it and I actually quite like talking in this cadence. This is the reason I actually got into politics because I never really felt good enough about myself but when I'm talking like this I feel a lot better even if the consequences of the rhetoric I'm deploying is actually well everybody in the world dies but I'll still have my haircut. His choice to invade a neighboring sovereign nation

his choice to start this conflict and it could be his choice to end it tomorrow all he has to do is pull back his troops into Russian territory but he won't do that he is not just trying to remove any choice that Ukrainians have around where they want their future to go remove their independence remove their sovereignty he's trying to deeply destabilize the International rules-based order

The international rules-based order. Does that sound a lot like the New World Order? Does that sound a lot like globalism? Does that sound like the kind of lawfare where any political leaders that oppose globalism find themselves either dead or in jail? Does that sound like the kind of globalism that's opposed to agriculture precisely because decentralized farming of agriculture

any kind means there will be food supplies available in the event of further centralized or for a being taken is in the same global rules-based order this seems hell-bent on censoring every single word we say unless those words are words of praise towards this very same global rules-based order what an extraordinary man Justin Trudeau is how clever they are to dress up their new authoritarians like faded boy band members macron

Trudeau, Starmer, great hair, shame about the Armageddon. But that's just what I think. Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
