Trump and King Charles… What Really Happened? — SF711

0:01 Hello there, you awakening wonders.

0:02 Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand.

0:05 We're going to be talking about the King's visit to your country, America,

0:09 and Trump's inappropriate prank of dressing up

0:13 the security staff there as revolutionary warriors.

0:15 We're going to be talking about a terrible

0:17 terrorist attack in my country, the United Kingdom.

0:19 We might have a quick look at this.

0:21 Let me see.

0:23 Is that the Bible you took to court?

0:24 Sometimes I feel like you're not listening.

0:26 That's hurtful.

0:27 Sometimes I feel like you're not listening.

0:28 No, no.

0:29 I am listening.

0:30 I think you're cynical about human beings.

0:32 I do.

0:34 I don't like that.

0:35 I do.

0:36 No.

0:36 I think you're [clears throat]

0:37 I do.

0:37 [laughter]

0:39 No.

0:39 I think you're cynical about yourself.

0:41 Not at all.

0:42 I don't think you think you're capable of greatness.

0:44 It's pretty good.

1:39 down among the syrupy goop they serve up on the mainstream.

1:42 So much to talk about,

1:43 but let's ensure that we're anchored first in something spiritual and healthy.

1:48 Here is a nurse with a verse.

1:50 Hello, Nurse Nikki.

1:50 The The new lighting is benefiting you tremendously.

1:54 You look fantastic.

1:56 What is the verse that you're going to share with us today?

1:59 Okay, we are reading from 1 Kings chapter 19 and this is Hurry up and find it.

2:04 Find it quicker.

2:04 It's taking all day.

2:06 Put the mic in your mouth.

2:07 Put the mic close to your mouth.

2:09 it.

2:09 I'll do it.

2:09 Speak yes, right.

2:10 You've got no Get straight to that verse.

2:13 There's not a second to lose.

2:15 Don't you be leafing through that book now.

2:18 right here.

2:19 Okay.

2:19 in advance.

2:20 That's clever.

2:20 That's clever.

2:21 I'm going to make a note of that.

2:22 Find the verse before the show.

2:25 Clever.

2:25 Hold on, let me write that down.

2:27 Yeah.

2:27 __] you, Piers.

2:29 Put little tabs in there.

2:31 [laughter] Go on.

2:33 Sorry, Nikki.

2:33 Sorry for cursing.

2:34 context, Elijah, the prophet, was told by God to go to this kid, Elisha.

2:40 So, he departed from there and found Elisha, the son of Shaphat,

2:45 while he was plowing with 12 pairs of oxen before him, and he with the 12.

2:50 And Elijah passed over him and threw his mantle on him.

2:55 He left the oxen and ran after Elijah and said,

2:59 "Please, let me kiss my father and my mother,

3:01 and then I will follow you." And he said to him, "Go back again,

3:05 for what have I done to you?" That was Elisha, just so you know.

3:10 So, Elisha returned from him, following him,

3:14 and took the pair of oxen and sacrificed them and boiled their flesh

3:18 with the implements of the oxen and gave it to the people and they ate it.

3:23 And then he arose and followed Elijah to minister to him.

3:27 So, real quick, implements is the plow that he was plowing with.

3:30 What's a mantle?

3:31 The mantle is like the cloak that that Elijah was wearing,

3:35 but in in kind of Christian or spiritual context, it's like when they say, "Hey,

3:39 here's He's passing his mantle on." It's

3:41 like the anointing that Elijah carried from God.

3:44 So, he's anointing Elisha with his

3:47 Before he was told by God to anoint Elisha, did he know him?

3:52 I don't know.

3:53 Mhm.

3:53 I don't know.

3:54 But no, you know, cuz here that came

3:55 from that text where he's like, "Oh, woe is me.

3:58 Like I'm the only prophet left." And he's like weeping.

4:01 And so he maybe he didn't.

4:02 Maybe God goes, "There's 7,000." Actually, that would have made it worse for me.

4:07 One of the things I like best is like It's just little us, suffering on my own.

4:11 There's 7,000 of you.

4:12 Oh, what's the point?

4:14 I quit.

4:15 Um so, why do you Why Why do you like that verse?

4:19 Um I Well, we had just been talking about that yesterday

4:21 and I read it with my son and I was just thinking about

4:24 how there times in our spiritual walk because I think this is

4:28 like a situational archetype in a sense that we run through as we

4:31 mature hit different things that the Lord and the Holy Spirit bring

4:35 that question back to us when we're called into something of the Lord

4:38 are we willing to leave behind what served us in the past

4:42 season to go into the new thing that God's asking us to do.

4:45 And so, I think that's that's a question to ask

4:48 ourselves again and again and again cuz we have found new

4:51 dependencies or new foundations and the Lord wants us to always

4:54 let him be alone the firm foundation that we stand on.

4:58 Thank you, nurse Nikki.

4:59 Let us know in the comments and chat what you think about

5:00 that and what you reckon you got to let go of in your own life.

5:04 If you're watching us anywhere other than Rumble Premium,

5:06 get over to Rumble and get Rumble Premium.

5:08 You get additional content, don't you?

5:10 Let's have another quick look at this if it still hurts my feelings.

5:13 What a great nurse.

5:14 Well, I've already achieved greatness.

5:15 I won Celebrity Apprentice with Donald Trump.

5:17 Oh, bless you, darling.

5:21 [laughter] Nope, hurtful.

5:22 Don't like that.

5:22 No sense of humor about it.

5:23 Let us know what you think in the comments and the chat.

5:26 If you want to be wounded as an Englishman,

5:29 why not observe the visit of King Charles to the United States of America.

5:35 Our head of state, King Charles the III,

5:39 visited your head of state, Donald Trump the one, the only.

5:44 Some will be saying, "Thank God." Some will be saying,

5:46 "Manifestation of God." But, let me know what you think in the comments

5:49 and chat comments and chat about Trump's abominable behavior on this visit.

5:55 Firstly, dressing up people in the Rose Garden as revolutionary guards.

5:59 That's sarcastic and very, very hurtful.

6:02 Indeed, it was King Charles the literal last

6:05 King Charles where the What was his name?

6:08 George.

6:08 No, it was George It was George

6:10 of the Hanoverian dynasty that syphilitically and madly had

6:14 to let go of the great colonies cuz he I think gone insane in the old membrane.

6:20 But, nevertheless, were it not for Cornwallis' foolish decisions,

6:24 we could have kept hold of America.

6:26 But, it looks like it might be too late now because Well,

6:30 actually, I shook hands with King Charles one time.

6:33 Did you know that?

6:34 Have I told you that?

6:35 No, I haven't heard that one.

6:36 Don't say it like you've heard all my stories.

6:38 Did you hear the story about when I went on Piers Morgan?

6:41 Yes.

6:42 [laughter] That's pretty good.

6:43 Have you ever I told you the story about when I I shook hands with King Charles?

6:47 You told me about the Queen, but I don't remember the mistake.

6:50 That was a joke.

6:51 I could not get it.

6:52 I mean, I'll do it again now, right?

6:54 Oh, yeah.

6:55 You better believe it.

6:55 Of course I met the Queen, Joe.

6:56 What do you think you're Who do you think is walking you through recovery?

6:59 [laughter] Some Some dope off the street?

7:02 No, no, no.

7:04 These legs have been under the same table as kings and queens, mate.

7:08 It's only a matter of time before I'm knighted.

7:10 Only a matter of time.

7:11 I'm a noble by the holy hand.

8:23 Right, so one time I done something called

8:24 the Royal Variety Performance in the United Kingdom.

8:28 So, you know, acrobats, all that kind of stuff, clap trap.

8:30 Anyway, this was in the old ascendancy era of old Russ in the mainstream.

8:35 And like, I done a performance in front of the Queen.

8:38 It was in Liverpool, so I can't remember the name of the theater,

8:41 but it was like, I don't know, a couple of thousand people or whatever.

8:43 And her Majesty the Queen and Prince Philip were there.

8:47 And like, I could tell, see, the Queen,

8:50 she didn't get where she was today, well, she, you know, just born into it.

8:53 Actually, let's face it, that's the way monarchy works,

8:55 but she [laughter] could tell she could tell a nutter a hundred yards.

9:00 So, I could see how she was like,

9:01 when you the show ends, you stand in a semicircle, the performers do, you know,

9:04 so I'm with these some glittery acrobats in like leotards and all that.

9:08 And Prince Philip, God rest his soul, he was right up for that.

9:11 I could see him going, "Woo!" And they were next to me.

9:14 And I was near James Blunt.

9:15 Yeah.

9:15 Yeah, beautiful.

9:16 Remember him?

9:17 It's true.

9:18 Yeah, James Blunt, he was right next to me.

9:20 Now, he's been in the Royal Guard,

9:22 so you could see that the Queen, they were all over him.

9:24 He ex-military.

9:26 And he's a nice guy, actually, James Blunt, he's all right.

9:28 But he sung that song, he sung that, and everyone liked it.

9:31 So, like, that's a safer one, but right next to him is old Russ,

9:34 all the lacquered it hair and all that kind of stuff,

9:37 lasciviousness, crazy concupiscence at the tips of me crazy fingers.

9:41 And I like I just like shook the hands

9:43 and like the Queen actually she wears gloves.

9:44 She She bolts by me like I was on fire.

9:47 But like afterwards I used to do this sort of stand up because

9:51 it's [snorts] a like you're watching them come down the line and it's

9:54 a sort of a very sort of nerve-racking feeling because also they tell you

9:57 in advance how you have to deal with a member of the royal family.

10:01 Like someone comes to your dressing room Let me Let me Let me line that up.

10:08 Like when you meet her majesty the Queen they say you have to bow from the head,

10:12 not from the waist, and you call her ma'am as in jam, not mom as in arm, right?

10:17 They give you instructions so you so you don't mess it up.

10:20 So I'm like I'll bow from the head, not from the waist.

10:21 Ma'am as in jam, not mom as in arm.

10:23 And that's what I'm thinking as she's coming around

10:25 the semicircle approaching Prince Philip flirting with a trapeze artist,

10:29 all that kind of stuff, James Bond.

10:31 As they're getting sort of closer and closer I'm thinking bow from the head,

10:35 not from bow from the head, not from the waist.

10:37 Ma'am as in jam, not mom as in arm.

10:39 But in the back [laughter] This is the bit of stand up.

10:42 THE BIT OF STAND UP The bit of stand up that I used to do

10:46 was But in the back of my mind I'm thinking grab her[ __] TITS.

10:53 [laughter]

10:52 I USED TO DO.

10:54 I used to do that stand up publicly.

10:57 Oh man.

10:58 Oh man.

10:59 Because not But it was a like a vertigo joke.

11:01 It was a kind The point of the joke is you know how you think mad stuff.

11:05 Don't you Don't you think mad stuff?

11:07 You know, like you sort of like I could jump off

11:08 that balcony or what if I just tip over this tray of drinks,

11:12 everything will go all crazy.

11:13 Like [laughter] stuff that goes through your And most of us

11:16 are like I'll throw this hot tea at this person like that.

11:19 You know, like it was that kind of thought.

11:20 It was like this is such a potentially mad

11:23 situation that the Queen's going to be standing just there.

11:25 It's too much pressure like I could just say crazy.

11:27 And obviously I didn't do anything crazy.

11:29 But now even making that joke Yeah.

11:32 Oh my god in the crazy old world of today.

11:35 Anyway, I didn't do those things and when I subsequently meant King

11:38 when I subsequently meant met King Charles or Prince Charles he was then,

11:42 I remember he had a bit of a clicky wrist.

11:45 You know, like his wrist was clicking during the handshake

11:48 and that was just from an old Russ handshake,

11:50 not from the famous Donald Trump handshake.

11:52 Let's see how that goes down.

12:06 Pretty good job I think King Charles did there of withstanding that handshake.

12:11 Joe, when you're doing things like say touching gloves, you know,

12:16 in a fight, a boxing match, do you think those things are important?

12:20 Do you think a lot of people have lost a fight before they even get in the ring?

12:24 Yeah, it's traditional that you got to do it,

12:25 but I think it's a little bit of mind games as well.

12:28 Depends about how you carry yourself, stamp a little bit of authority on them.

12:33 Good eye contact.

12:36 Yeah, you've got to He done well I think Charles there.

12:38 I think he's putting a like a good like now the may

12:42 the day may come where us are in particular meet Trump, right?

12:47 Now the handshake's going to happen.

12:49 Is he going to do that to us and are you Do you want to practice it?

12:54 I think Charles probably went somewhere and hid and he was just like ah.

12:58 Ooh.

12:58 Like I mean I don't like People used to say he didn't have very big hands.

13:01 I mean what do you think it's Like what do you think he's actually doing?

13:04 Like Do you think in a jujitsu way just go with it?

13:07 Do you want to try one on Let's try see what you

13:09 you do to me and I'm going to do my normal handshake.

13:13 You do to me what you think Trump does.

13:15 He does.

13:16 Ah, oh that's all right.

13:17 I don't mind that.

13:18 Just moving it.

13:19 It's like you see he's still talking it's like he's Yours is clicking.

13:21 You got [clears throat] I think Is yours clicking?

13:24 You got a clicky wrist.

13:25 That was actually That was my skin

13:28 That was just my penis emerging from my foreskin.

13:30 Now, I think that he's doing this.

13:32 I'm now you just be normal you, and I'll do what I think Trump does.

13:36 I think he does this.

13:37 I think he tries to I think he tries to take you off your balance.

13:40 Go do it to me what you think he does.

13:42 I think he pulls it

13:43 down I don't like that.

13:44 It's a downward pull.

13:45 Oh, a downward pull.

13:48 pull.

13:47 IT'S A DOWNWARD PULL.

13:49 That[ __] you up a bit, eh?

13:50 You need a tight core.

13:51 All right, I'm locking my core.

13:52 Go and do a downward pull.

13:53 That's it.

13:54 Oh, that's Oh, what happens if you fight against it?

13:57 All right, go on.

13:58 Does he like

14:00 Oh,

14:01 [laughter]

14:01 THEN HE CAN DO THE PUSH.

14:02 LIKE IF YOU RESIST, HE MIGHT do the push.

14:04 Only one way to find out.

14:06 Yeah.

14:07 Yeah.

14:07 How many times in your life have you had men actually grab your crotch?

14:12 Like men.

14:12 I've got twice it's happened to me.

14:14 I won't name them cuz it's actually a form of sexual assault,

14:17 but I have had two different men grab my crotch.

14:22 Grab it?

14:23 Yeah.

14:23 Grab it.

14:23 Grab your butt yesterday.

14:24 That was okay.

14:25 I didn't mind it.

14:26 You never had a nut tap?

14:28 Nut Just a nut.

14:29 It's happened to me.

14:29 I had a nut tap.

14:32 [laughter] Smack you.

14:33 But

14:33 You've not had a full grab?

14:35 Like in a weird way?

14:36 Like a flick?

14:39 [laughter] Well, it weren't very nice.

14:40 Like like how did that kind of like hey Hi, like that.

14:43 I think it was at that time I had a certain type of reputation,

14:46 and I think they wanted to see if they could get any of its magic off it.

14:51 [laughter] Like um like Excalibur.

14:52 And he felt his power leave his body.

14:56 That's the hem of the lord's coat.

14:58 That's the hem OF THE LORD'S COAT.

15:01 [laughter] THAT'S the hem of the lord's coat.

15:02 Right, let's get back to this now cuz right,

15:05 so Trump when meeting the great King Charles III

15:07 of the United Kingdom and all of her empires,

15:10 he I think he done a good job on that handshake.

15:13 But how would he have dealt with this little insult?

15:24 Americans are really laughing.

15:25 Like Dave's laughing, Jake's laughing.

15:28 I just think he's trolling.

15:29 I mean, he it's just

15:31 Is that out of order?

15:33 Yeah.

15:32 You're out of order.

15:33 Like, all right, what would that be?

15:35 What's the equivalent there?

15:37 What's the equivalent if like what if you guys like went to Vietnam and they

15:42 had like loads of heroin there and threw you down a tunnel like I don't know.

15:46 What's the equivalent?

15:47 There is no equivalent.

15:48 There is equivalent because America's misdeeds since

15:51 the Second World War have been really bad.

15:52 Let's keep thinking about it over the course of the show.

15:55 I don't want to offend Americans.

15:56 Knock the building down point.

15:58 Oh.

15:59 Oh.

16:00 Oh, no.

16:00 No, messy.

16:03 [laughter]

16:02 You This make you feel at home, guys?

16:04 Knock the building

16:04 want to distance myself.

16:06 I want to distance Oh.

16:07 Oh, too soon.

16:09 Too far.

16:09 Too soon.

16:11 Too soon.

16:12 It's in 20 years.

16:12 Get a No, I'm not over it.

16:14 Not over it yet.

16:15 I was dressed as Osama bin Laden the next day.

16:17 If anyone had dealt with it quickly, [laughter] it was Al Murray.

16:21 Back in the MTV era, I was a silly boy back then.

16:24 The old drugs they'll do that to a fellow.

16:36 Awesome.

16:36 And they're doing them patriot drums and everything.

16:38 They're taking the actual piss.

16:39 Uh but that's nothing compared to Alex Jones uh response to the video.

16:43 Land of our king.

16:45 Trump and the king and how they do it.

16:46 Land of Islamic pedophiles.

16:49 Land of satanic evil.

16:52 Let's listen in here.

16:53 Destroying Ireland and Scotland, too.

16:57 Those are not the actual lyrics, [laughter] Alex.

17:00 The lyrics are send her victorious, happy and glorious.

17:09 Land of Peter Philin.

17:12 And now yeah, but no, those are not the lyrics.

17:15 Pretty funny.

17:16 Pretty funny from Alex Jones.

17:17 It's interesting, isn't it?

17:18 Because what is the special relationship between

17:20 the United Kingdom and the United States now?

17:23 What is the City of London?

17:24 Why is the City of London protected from jurisdiction?

17:27 Why they got weird different tax laws there?

17:29 What on earth's going on?

17:30 Where is real power?

17:32 Certainly many people now don't believe that real

17:34 power is held within the executive branch

17:36 of the presidential office itself even if when

17:39 it comes to significant stuff like you know,

17:42 I don't know, advancing holy wars in the Middle East.

17:45 But let me know what you think in the comments and chat.

17:47 What is this ceremony truly about?

17:49 Certainly not chivalry because here is Camilla being cut

17:54 down in her prime by an advancing handshaking Donald Trump.

17:58 Although as a true Brit, you know,

18:01 Camilla is a difficult pill to swallow cuz many of the Brits IS STILL DIANA.

18:06 DIANA!

18:08 [screaming] [music] [music] [music] STRONG BIDEN VIBES FROM CHARLES THERE.

18:26 HE LOOKS like he's about to reverse through that hedge right out there.

18:32 [music] [music] I suppose that's what Trump is about.

18:41 Power in such an overt and readable and obvious ways.

18:44 Whether it's power plays like handshakes, glib announcements on Truth Social.

18:50 Power, vivid lurid power.

18:52 And I suppose isn't that what was appealing in the first instance?

18:56 Oh, this guy is playing about it.

18:57 It's obvious.

18:58 Not like them insidious caring, sharing peculiar figures.

19:02 Your Bidens, even your Obamas.

19:04 I like that kind of a newly emergent and evolved form of power.

19:09 Sleek and charismatic but still leads to the financial crash,

19:13 still leads to droning in Syria, still leads to the same kind of interest.

19:16 I mean, if all this concern that seems

19:19 to be defining the American political space right now,

19:21 if we say for example,

19:22 it's either is it the total lack of trust in the post-Epstein files era?

19:25 Is it the sense that Israel has undue influence?

19:28 What what is it?

19:29 What is the issue that's defining American politics right now?

19:32 Well, whatever it actually is,

19:35 it seems to span the Trump, Biden, Clinton, Obama, Bush.

19:41 It goes beyond that.

19:42 So, you know, what are we going to do with all this paraphernalia,

19:46 all this mad pageantry,

19:47 whether it's the lunacy of our country, the United Kingdom,

19:50 and all all of our what do I want [clears throat] to say?

19:53 Like our cenotaphs and our emblems and our livery, or yours?

19:58 Where is real power?

19:59 Where is real power?

20:02 Uh here, um Trump uh Charles also addressed Congress, I feel.

20:07 Yeah, that's what this one is,

20:08 and uh they have a And Trump does a nice

20:10 little joke because of the no kings protest, I guess.

20:15 [applause] Members of Congress, I have the high privilege and distinct honor

20:18 of presenting to you His Majesty Charles III.

20:23 [applause] [applause] [applause]

20:39 Since they visit about this, I wonder how long in advance they plan it.

20:42 I wonder how explicit they are of the intentions.

20:45 Do you wonder that it might be motivated

20:47 by an awareness that the British government is deeply unpopular?

20:51 And that in all likelihood Nigel Farage will

20:53 be the next Prime Minister of our country,

20:55 a coalition between the Conservative Party and Reform Party,

20:58 and that the monarchy have to position

21:00 themselves favorably for those forthcoming events.

21:05 Furthermore, what do you Americans think?

21:07 It seems like the Americans there were

21:08 right turned on and into our British power.

21:12 They were They were foaming at the gack

21:14 to get there to get their fingers all over Charles.

21:18 What do you think?

21:18 Do you believe you're still a bit turned on by British monarchy?

21:21 I don't know, not by Charles.

21:24 [laughter] I think it had its moment.

21:25 Everybody loves the Queen.

21:27 Yeah, she was good.

21:27 Everybody loved Diana.

21:29 Beautiful.

21:31 Uh, it's falling apart.

21:33 The boys are I mean, they're still kind of interesting.

21:35 The boys.

21:36 Harry and Harry and Willie.

21:38 Yeah.

21:38 Those lads.

21:39 they've even lost a little something.

21:40 Lost a little luster when they went bald.

21:43 Needs to be a woman.

21:44 You want a woman one.

21:45 What?

21:45 It's better with a woman.

21:46 What?

21:46 Victoria, Elizabeth I, Elizabeth II.

21:48 You think women queens Yeah, queens should have been.

21:51 Yeah, cuz it's someone to fight for for queen and country.

21:53 You feel like you're doing it for like this chick, this sublime chick.

21:56 Whereas with Charles, who gives a[ __] Who would have done get out of there?

22:00 up for years to be like a weak like kind of squirrely.

22:06 Like everything that we even saw on TV.

22:08 What, the crown?

22:09 You talking about the crown?

22:10 Or even before that.

22:11 you know.

22:11 Anytime you ever saw him, even with cuz I guess from Diana,

22:14 I mean, that's ultimately where he went wrong.

22:18 It's weird.

22:18 Hey, do you know what I heard the other day?

22:19 I heard that the social network, brilliant film.

22:21 Is it Fincher that made that?

22:23 Um, and like I really love it, but like I just saw someone,

22:27 I think maybe on Shawn Ryan, saying that whole film is a total blag.

22:31 Zuckerberg's an asset.

22:32 He's owned.

22:33 The The whole idea of some entrepreneurial figure, like, "Oh, he's a genius.

22:37 He came up with Facebook." And he explained it.

22:39 This lad, this not this lad, this man said,

22:41 "Look, the CIA already had this thing.

22:43 It was called Life Fun or something.

22:45 And it was all of the tech that was required for Facebook." He goes,

22:48 "Look, they just Look, you can see it exists.

22:49 It's registered before Facebook.

22:51 The technology exists.

22:53 And look, you can almost I think he said

22:54 you can see that it's been given to Zuckerberg." So,

22:57 like all those sort of figures, um,

22:59 even something like I can't imagine that Fincher's doing this, but we

23:02 know when you hear that Hollywood is the propaganda arm of power,

23:06 do you think it kind of works in that way?

23:09 Like let's make a film that makes Zuckerberg look like a weird genius,

23:14 when really he's just a a fed, just an asset.

23:17 Do you think that's how it works?

23:19 Matty, you got something, mate?

23:21 Look at asset 35 on the show,

23:23 that's Buzz Aldrin telling Conan O'Brien that the he

23:26 actually saw an animation of the moon landing,

23:27 which reminds me of people saying did

23:29 Stanley Kubrick do the fake moon landing thing?

23:32 Yeah, so little trust.

23:33 I mean, before the show started, we were talking about how even events

23:38 like the assassination attempt at the press conference.

23:40 We know like we don't care really anymore.

23:42 It's like there's so much going on.

23:44 And even them things that are real serious, like the Iran war,

23:47 it's like I ain't got time to care about this.

23:49 There's so much bewilderment, so much comments.

23:51 I mean, you know, with the thing with me on Piers Morgan the other day,

23:54 if something sort of somewhat innocuous like me leafing through

23:58 the Bible trying to find a quote can glean that much attention,

24:02 it it starts to make you wonder about

24:04 what the hierarchy of interest is really built around.

24:07 What appetites are being fulfilled?

24:10 And, you know, do we care about the monarchy?

24:12 I'm talking about Brits.

24:13 Or do we care about the crown?

24:15 Do we think that Elon Musk and Zuckerberg,

24:17 etc., etc., they're these weird entrepreneurial geniuses?

24:20 Or are we starting to suspect that actually in the same

24:24 way that the electromagnetic light range is limited by our sensory capacities,

24:29 our understanding of real global global politics is similarly limited.

24:33 And all of the real power and all

24:36 of the real decisions are taking place beyond our control,

24:40 whether that's who's going to be president

24:42 and whether or not that president's going

24:43 to go for go to a war or not commit a country to war.

24:48 It it the the real power is moving invisibly and insidiously beyond our reach.

24:53 Let me know what you think about that in the comments and chat.

24:55 I think increasingly that's what people generally think and hasn't

24:58 it induced the sort of fatigue where you can't

25:00 even really care about massive wars that will in various

25:05 economic and maybe even mortal ways affect your life.

25:08 Here on Conan is Buzz Aldrin saying he saw an animation of the moon landing.

25:13 Is he saying that I mean this well it's I've not watched

25:15 this yet but it's Massie thinks it's an appropriate asset to help

25:18 us understand our kind of fatigue and weariness and the abundance

25:22 of information and the lack of trust really in any of it.

25:24 Well, let's talk about this cuz this is fascinating.

25:26 I remember very clearly, I think anybody who was alive at the time does.

25:29 I remember my parents waking me up and we went down

25:32 and we watched you guys land on the moon which was No, you didn't.

25:36 What?

25:36 Because uh uh there wasn't any television.

25:38 They weren't weren't they taking a picture?

25:40 You watched animation.

25:41 So, you associated what you saw with I have very hazy memories.

25:45 I know.

25:46 Well, what we No, what we what we saw was we

25:48 all we all were gathered around the old tabletop radio and listened.

25:52 about uh you know, how many feet we're going

25:54 to the left and right and then I said, "Contact light.

25:56 Engine stop." That's exciting.

25:59 and then Neil said, "Houston, Tranquility Base, the Eagle has landed."

26:04 That's exciting.

26:05 Man, how about that?

26:05 That That was very exciting.

26:07 Not a bad line.

26:08 Yeah.

26:08 Yeah.

26:08 This was

26:10 Buzz Aldrin does there appear to be inadvertently revealing that whatever

26:14 the footage was that America watched on that famous night,

26:17 it was not direct footage and many people who sort

26:20 of question the veracity of the moon landings similarly say,

26:23 "Well, the tech weren't available then.

26:24 You can't get a phone signal." All that kind

26:26 of stuff and that's an interesting and unusual moment that's difficult

26:30 to find and we'll tell What what what on earth

26:32 was Buzz Aldrin saying if not it was an animation?

26:36 Pretty clear further evidence to the mistrust and distrust of that situation.

26:41 immediate aftermath of 9/11 when NATO invoked Article 5 for the first time.

26:48 It's weird to consider what Charles is going to say?

26:53 Who writes this?

26:54 What is the intention?

26:56 Where does it get approved?

26:58 Because in a sense, our king don't have any constitutional power.

27:03 A monarch is a symbol.

27:04 So, what we're watching is PR.

27:07 We're watching PR.

27:08 And it says here that what he's going to talk about is Ukraine, Russia.

27:13 It's interesting.

27:14 He's going to advocate for war and war spending.

27:17 First time and the United Nations Security

27:19 Council was united in the face of terror,

27:24 we answered the call together as our people

27:27 have done so for more than a century,

27:29 shoulder to shoulder through two world wars, the Cold War,

27:34 Afghanistan, and moments that have defined our shared security.

27:39 Today, Mr.

27:40 Speaker, that same unyielding resolve is needed

27:45 for the defense of Ukraine and her most courageous people.

27:51 [applause] [applause] Pelosi's well into it.

28:00 You know, I sometimes think we're

28:02 like ducklings imprinting our affections on what

28:05 we see while we're vulnerable before our eyes are barely yet open.

28:10 A monarch, a king, I reckon even if you're

28:12 someone that's important and powerful and you meet a king,

28:15 part of you can't help but feel, "Oh, wow, like when I was a kid and I

28:19 like saw this royal wedding or the death of this person.

28:22 I'm part of the continuum now.

28:24 Look, here I am meeting Leonardo DiCaprio or here I am meeting

28:29 Grace Kelly or whoever you have

28:31 personally anointed and appointed to be powerful.

28:34 Of course, though, a king is literally supposed

28:36 to be God's chosen one and the the crowning ceremony,

28:39 the coronation ceremony of a British monarch includes a very mysterious [clears

28:44 throat] moment that is veiled and an oil anoints them out of sight.

28:47 I don't know if the crucifix is applied actually because you're not allowed

28:50 to see it because it is literally meant to be a cult, set apart, sacred.

28:55 Now, if you watch a lot of peripheral,

28:57 less peripheral these days, online content,

29:01 you'll be aware that many people believe that these powerful families,

29:06 including the British monarchy, are connected to real peculiar cultish power.

29:10 That's difficult for me because uh you know,

29:13 I had those meetings with them, of course, real fleeting.

29:16 That won't be enough to tell if someone was a reptile.
