12:29 pm
but you know people conduct themselves to new realities if it turns out though this just the first step in the this is going to go on indefinitely. and very existence of keeping the state and we're kind of in a different. because a report i'm max kaiser in the words of the great philosopher zone's jacques was
12:30 pm
who was of course an inspiration for the french revolution in truth the laws are always useful to those with possessions and harmful to those who have nothing from which it follows that the social state is advantageous to men only when all possess something and none has too much and quote today we're going to look at some of the headlines from a very unsocial state can revolution be far behind and we mentioned revolution stacey i think you've got include russell brand russell brand is the revolutionary he's a man of the revolution russell welcome because a report very grateful that you have me here on the kaiser put your program thank you very much for slowly say see what is actually happening well we will respond accordingly so after five years of a financial crisis and there rising wealth and income gap as a result we're going to look at some of the headlines that we see happening around the world regarding austerity britain pushed one hundred twenty nine billion pounds deeper into the red this is now eighty three percent of g.d.p.
12:31 pm
so despite all of the austerity or more in debt. sensibly all this austerity was going to reduce debt i don't know it's gone up so the question is really what's the stereo about the can recall austerity because the debt is increasing and seem to be more of a wealth transfer the national debt has increased because they now the government has to include all the r.b.s. and lloyd's debt the deficit has gone up surprisingly because we have declined so income tax has gone down by one point four percent we're seeing the fact that the. top elite the corporations the corporation tax is only one point five billion pounds a year there they just don't contribute as much as i do and it is fostering revolution and fostering also brands revolution well you see i had a thing every day i'm trying to do you know like if you go into
12:32 pm
a financial program like i'm currently on a much on say seven financial to join me and said i fit in here is that thing now i've heard the g.d.p. they study clued in drugs ios and sex try to make the g.d.p. bad is that true you might have heard it on the kaiser where if they thought it was the same right as it well it's about ten billion pounds worth of activity so they include it they include there when the addiction and when and if this is often supposed to be when i was one i was operating at a loss really it was my i go in so much. that when i was in the hair and i think business it was shoddy well it was terrible already should organize a heroin trade and the prostitution is going to include the g.d.p. so she does i'm glad the guy and the guy still passed did exactly right your timing on this could have been worse much my concern is this all these things like when i was a kid i look at a t.v. says things like nasdaq g d p. c it out and i looked if my innocent child like
12:33 pm
minded said this is meaningless this is a meaningless solution then i grew up you would know this is going to love meaning you just understand it don't understand it and then now go a little bit older still it was just meaningless trickery and skullduggery and if by their own terminology oval still a t. in g.d.p. they still call make the situation any better then what value does it have what mary does it have is used as you just said about the transference of wealth to. all the terminology all the language use is meant to obfuscate it's meant to confuse the underlying cause me any self is quite confusing but that's the irony because it's meant to be in the usenet so if you think i wish being so confuse and drove across. bastardy george osborne and david cameron could not be more egregious but that's very controversial but i think that's real is the austerity the impact on people the money they're taking from the very
12:34 pm
poorest that display bold the pensioners you're seeing money taken from them and now the mayor has ordered three water cannons because the police chief asked them in the event of an austerity riots is that what is full i don't stand a royal so they're anticipating that we have a royal and they think the free will commons is going to be enough that's right they get any small can and they're going to need a big accounting for it so that's what we're doing over there over there buying cannons to. make us really really pull the issue is that we've. already practicing in towns across the u.k. they set up dummy towns of they've got the water cannons and they're preparing for the riot they're preparing for us to riot right mccloy's or chiefs to find cold was the chase and i tried to write a riot that's right yes that's true you're predicting a riot they ought they're anticipating when they're causing one there i'm missing it exactly exactly so i think this. is their prediction will be other percent accurate because they're causing the riot and there we are crowdfunding
12:35 pm
a people's water cannon so we want to buy our own water cannon that's a good idea and start doing which is a crowd funding client the most idea was good coming soon when we were operating. raising thirty thousand pounds to buy the people's water cannon whatever boris uses this can and we're going to drench boris i would it be collective voice and we each have a. phone. it's actually five hundred pounds she has it on offer whoever gets five hundred pounds first gets to do the first yeah now we've protected by the same rules if we shoot people who are kind of moving ok in trouble well this is a revelation i can you know. yes i did obviously round if you're going to. you know why aren't you rewriting new lines is that part of revolution is going to sit and it was he who threw quark to me to make her feel like a little bit for security guard under a door. that you. are speaking of water
12:36 pm
this is where all heading towards detroit now in this is a shocking story in detroit did you know that three thousand people per week are being cut off from the water supply because of inability to pay their water bills water bills went up by nine percent last year you know there's mass unemployment there so they're shutting off the water the un response and detroit disconnected water from people who cannot pay an affront to human rights as u.n. experts so they're saying that disconnection for nonpayment is only illegitimate if the person can truly pay it but these people are unemployed poor and the rates have gone up and they're just disconnect on them from the water supply which is a human right seem to be unreasonable and the names from their female. i mean it's just i mean there are periods of the united nations other words the detroit people have no water cut off so here again is an example of austerity and detroit leading to this humanitarian crisis and i would imagine this is going to be seen in other
12:37 pm
places around the world but in the u.s. you don't associate this and here in the u.k. people also of the u.s. as being not always but they have a certain idea about it as being full of flour you know children whatever they have the democracy you know very well the tourists are cutting off the water i mean as a european as a bird person how does i think you. spend some time in america and i understand that there are many different americas i think all of the country that used the word you know eight in a precisely the opposite and i was why would you need to join such attention to it and why i have noticed is that there is that economic a pod of sand you speak about overall across america and i don't think we have i thought it was a shame is america to create these one. flood deals these beautiful cultural operate as by seems overstay now to be at the forefront of a dead idea do you feel more optimistic max and stacey that we can bring about change makes every time i hear one of those stories kind of pull off a bit of a detour. surely in people we've already learned all comers give the wool over we
12:38 pm
sure people would love to look at it. is going to solution that despondency in despair or do you feel a vibrant sense that this is a time for incredible change we're joining a revolution so that's why i thought about it one of the things i think is that i have to even though i am quite driven and self-involved as a product of my time i recognize that this is a collectivized and lateral process of empowerment for all people would lead to this revolution even though i would like to some point to be on a post. i'm quite optimistic i think cryptocurrency is and the fact that we put society basically on a block chain and do it ourselves this is something that has erupted by the people without any sort of permission from authorities they've just created alternative economic systems banking systems beyond the scope of he said let the states use an alternative source of information is low i would become disenchanted with the mainstream schools information create our own information like your program in my little program the troops i mean because then similarly we create different
12:39 pm
economic systems dish different social structures so if thing on our travels around the world crypto currency is i really all over the world and it gives people access to a fair system their own mining the mining of crypto currencies they're creating their own economy around these crypto currencies and this is now challenging the old world order cryptocurrency excesses beautiful well traditional and it's basically time they started to cryptographers i mean it's kind of decisively that is mean occasion cryptically don't need trust to you it was originally designed by basically the n.s.a. and cia and stuff to communicate with somebody in agent in the field way across the world and they didn't know for sure if it was they really agent so it's. it's a mistrust in the cia and n.s.a. well yeah yeah yeah what this is but this if you are our attorney you're probably not impossible but i'm going to trust anyone. cryptography jews and credit card transactions for example so some very bright fellow named soto should not come oto
12:40 pm
or people posing us to knock them out to figure out that you could use that technology to create a currency in effect and reward people to put up their their computers to solve these cryptology problems and that this could in fact be a currency on it in its own right and the way it's finally announced this was in response specifically to the u.k. bailing out the banks so here we have a system whereby the elites don't get to reengineer the laws and so when is it based on a result of space scripts or is there light in there because i think the resources the is the computer power users thousands of computers harnessed simultaneously solving these these very difficult math equations so and how does that generate and i mean what is biased on boolean or is a promise to pay the i understood it back in and days and the abstract money becomes the more after these resources become the more confused i am right well it is similar to gold in that there is a limited number that will ever be created twenty one million in the case of bitcoin which is the primary crypto currency and they use these vast arrays of
12:41 pm
computers to solve these what i call precious numbers so there is these very difficult numbers and need to be discovered using the the software essentially and then it's held on the ledger or the public ledger of everyone who's involved in this as a copy of every single transaction so it's completely transparent no one can rip anybody off because everything is on that what's called the public ledger is completely transparent unlike the bank of england which will print a trillion pounds and really put into the what's called the shadow banking system and nobody really knows where it should be allowed to shadow banking system so i wouldn't say it is they suggest. why did you guys that were doing this don't have. a exact cash color scheme that sounds evil already dark pulls a shadow banking system for us but i think a lot of these peer to peer in the crypto currencies in the peer to peer online stuff and the independent media this is a response to the social contract has been broken bringing and all that you see
12:42 pm
what i'm doing bringing it back to the top of the show is on track we so said when the social contract is broken the people must revolt these are forms of revolt and we're more peaceful manner max has a more you know beheading sort of. reminds mantra that i do what's right in the past and i go the tried and true but we've got to. cut now to the commercial and then come back in the second half so stay right there don't go away really you know bad move ok you know what. i marinate join me on. that in part and financial support commentary
12:43 pm
contributes and much much. only on the bus and on the. right. first street. and i think. on our reporters were very. instrumental. in the. as a new physician i swear to abide by the hippocratic oath. to the best of my ability and judgment. i will prescribe for the good of my patients. i will not give deadly doses to anybody.
12:44 pm
or advise others to do so. i will never do harm to the. doctors of the doc's on on to. this immediately law so we leave that maybe. i will see motions to cure. all your party is a poll. question is that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from. politicking only on r t. all right guys are welcome back to the kaiser poor i'm here with comedian writer actor activist russell brand russell nice to see you again mate. russell you
12:45 pm
were recently speaking to a group of fifty thousand right here in central london and it didn't seem to really get the big media attention that one would think an event like that would get a lot of people were complaining about on twitter like b.b.c. you're not covering this not covering this do you agree that they weren't covering it are they not covering it where you think it could be that people don't want to popularize i movement that is really anti establishment and subversive and representative of the majority of people who are currently maligned in the collective it could be that or it could be in a way that hat perhaps mark she's now an outmoded piece of protest activist grama that's a good question billie joe because you're saying because i've been saying this was a marches and holding placards and things like that seem to be not really effective as they as they once were and there are other ways that now that people are organizing themselves obviously was social media social networking these types of things so is that there's
12:46 pm
a huge push back from the organizers of those of those systems you know in the copyright industry for example is trying to push back and it is that where the battleground is going to be going forward we always want to see people streets where we because it's exciting and it's about making a social space who streets and street people to race exciting but i think to actually make a difference to actually make an impact we have to look at the kind of narratives that are and he see if in the contemporary media and use those narratives well the kind of things that are effective for the stories that i like telling is difficult really because in a way they set the lexicon and they decide what language works they decide which symbols and ideas to promote and i suppose if we're going to be truly riffel lucian re if we're truly trying to create a different system. we should perhaps reject even the most basic language but i think perhaps sometimes at least that the left feels like it is an entrenched idea . to opposition and actually isn't riddy to become powerful to.
12:47 pm
talk about symbols here your recent show messiah complex it's a show you've been traveling the world with you in the promo of the show and in the posters etc you have all the major symbols from all these various major real legends and i guess the idea there is to try to put them all the same poster and just say you know it's time to kind of move on from all of these symbols move on from all of this old way of thinking is that a fair statement it's really good that you said that because it enables me to say these things i want to say believe that all of those symbols after choose to a different dimension of perception really the however you worship gold or however you choose to acknowledge your unique view of a people the symbolism what's important is important is the concept and i don't think that we at this point in history should be focusing on our own on our differences but on our similarities and i think the way that we're distracted from our calm and unity by zero immigrants or matters of a sexual nature is very divisive and it's unnecessary i talked to
12:48 pm
a cab driver yesterday that's politician's eyes and bustle into a pump there's today because i'm a normal man with normal things and doing normal stuff in my home a wife and he goes to meet his cab driver he said you know i don't even allow these local immigrants it's just the ones that come over use our resources and don't give nothing back to our country and those who would describe an inmate is how every corporation in the world behaves they come over here to our country they use our resources our systems that we have built through our common work then they don't pay no tax will give nothing back they use out of the education of our people they use our roads so i say for a while if for a few years this focus our energy owner so on some relevant opponent opponents they of the top of the pyramid and alike. those of us that are on the ball on this will stay to give a people an actor but you know paul the one percent are so funny because i managed to get some money from tricking you know i need it for africa as you said the first african is now being awarded g.d.p. status if you are into sex and drugs are actually adding to the economy you're not
12:49 pm
surprised me economically useful if you're a heroin addicted prostitute we have discovered it's really amazing though they may pay some nic if they want to fix that because sex work i think is difficult for people psychologically and heroin addiction does have a negative side if i want to actually stick on this perception or the doors of perception or moving through a portal of perception first second because this is actually with a common theme in literature like huxley or even the doors you know from the sixty's the group the doors of perception it was really where that name of that group came from and through or through spiritual ecstasy there's always this idea of entering into you know going beyond a portal into a. kind of a state of of ecstasy and we've as a society we've been through different periods i mean going back to the sixty's people took drugs obviously there was the rock n roll the social movement the use of that time was getting to a place of a higher consciousness here we are in the twenty first century and it seems as we lost all ritual we've lost all ability to come together and seek spiritual
12:50 pm
commonality. your show in what you do seems to attempt to bring that back into into our lives is that message resonating is it growing is the message growing the spiritual message which is an historically a message that has been talked about since the beginning of the dawn of man is it is a growing or do you find it very difficult to bring that across in this day of artificial the and and people on their own you know the phones all day long with being conveniently atomized by technology and social structures i feel like it isn't my message by message as you said a preference message that is being perennially. present wafa you made is that even the idea of evolution itself is a secular people trying to achieve the idea of transcendence was revolution i flashed a blinding why i pay for any of togetherness really i feel that there is as much as
12:51 pm
we have an activist pang for fairness like you know they do tests on primates don't i see unfair behavior the primates in the lab they kick off a pretty fun life being in that lap i must realize that's not fair well we have this instinct we all have an instinct for the togetherness and tribalism and when we are prevented from fulfilling that when we skate at the moment it's not even that we live in a zoo we live in a farm our consciousness is formed we have been turned into little consumer units but somewhere in our memory we remember what we're supposed to be and we recognize in this system doesn't work for us as the brilliant russo quote outlined earlier and i think we're not actually returning to that that is going to require a form of revolution from a revolution doesn't infer violence it just sort of just means neglect of the current system don't use the system here is designed to maintain itself to try to create revolution that is impossible that's like trying to use a shoe to make
12:52 pm
a pancake when people are on the spiritual journey there's a saying the path grows narrower and this is another words as you get deeper into your spiritual journey you find yourself really more with yourself more alone if you go with it with your spiritual goal or spiritual ideals is this for you russell brand obviously someone who can at the drop of a step on a stage and be incredibly entertaining gifted performer you're now on a path that is extra very different in many ways personally is do you feel are you comfortable in this at the moment or are use a little bit unnerved by the spiritual genie that you've opened up the bottle bit well i think max is that we're going to die. so i've now seen what happened if you make money in nollywood scene what happens if you take loads of drugs see what happens if you indulge nocturnal activities in nine just in i've tried all of them all that remains is to piss you truth and really that much like regardless of what
12:53 pm
happens in between for in fifty years ago would be dead so i'm just going to use that to do the most interesting thing i can to try to participate in the construction of a new ideology not a new ideal just the realisation these things are already here each religion talks of a divine realm that needs to be manifest on the material realm everyone is trying to do it and people there are addicted to individual ism and materialism trying to prevent carrie so you just now pick a side pick a side on the get it's coming and we've talked about the mainstream media maybe not covering what you're doing as closely as they should so you're becoming your own media outlet with truce which is another theme song. which is very snappy lyttleton yes and so i the rubber band is an irish pop rap hip hop. break if it's very infectious and it works i mean it's getting
12:54 pm
a lot of huge play i mean it's just more views if you can look at that as the guidelines to popular something as it gets more than the other media alate i see out there i think is this house or how the how is the truth going and what it just decided to do it one day and it started out of the side of the story see my friend there garrett he stays behind the camera he's filming me now for the troops care of state but it's through the news every day you like doing that i said all right then but don't make it be hard for me because if something's hard you know i'll give up so we made it very effortless just a spontaneous response the news and what in a way max is like hey you know because you know i was about money markets and that your education plus your intuition is going to be more valuable than the main flow of. information so the same with me. because i've looked at him papers all my life because now if spend some time waking up different bits of the old brain books every time i look at the news or listen to it i see is that said see i see a subset is t. sorry for me hair and funny the whole concept i'm
12:55 pm
a visitor in this country like it to observe a little bit the culture it's an english person could be doing that where a nice comeback would be an english person being similar to slowly i have developed a taste for marmite it means a rise in it means a luxury to twiddle its. presses very really hope. is there all the borderlines of becoming and then trench and burst of anger file so i've been you know observing the english character as it seems that it's tough for people maybe this is a gross mischaracterization but when somebody has a big success it seems the public the english are kind of like reach out and try to pull them back in a bit and i know that this is been company with a pleased is this an unfair characterization but it seems like people that ask the english media people rule right they won't let you get too mouthy he would mock that that's all right by everyone in england english people even if people are cool this is a cool country these people who. you know like but we have people that like you can
12:56 pm
see flash and maybe go a bit too flash people bring you down again if you stay in touch or a normal nice also about success that i think people are very suspicious about kind of materialistic flashy affluence quality why since a few months that's the defining english sense of humor who would want to take the pace and law for each of us if you stop taking it so seriously you're in trouble in this country when you have met it's going to break through to a global audience which is got to be keith hauser she is is the show still playing messiah complex is a stone stopped in that now i'm writing a book i'm writing a book about revolution is called real life you should switch some of the words around like a bit of graffiti to a store and it's about how can you change yourself personally and will that change be reflected. in social change spiritual principles relevant to social change is there a way we can stop feeling so based in some ca can we just have a loft can we collective eyes can we put power back to where it should be without us the people i don't suppose prostitution says yes all right we have about thirty
12:57 pm
seconds left in the closing seconds. you know i recent you recently saw on the jeremy paxman show on newsnight the word revolution is kind of a hot button but yours is sticking really to the spiritual lust of love pretty much is that up from there but better ones by will cummins went up by water cannons we're not the ones being aggressive we're not the ones by rubber bullets died like they revolution is coming is coming all right russell brand thanks so much man the cars report i'd like to hear from any time that americans want to buy that british montevideo you can say we have purchased mine builds to me about both rebuilding the garden we take that going yes we do i think. our residue of this on the cars are part of the life either as a server or they get russell brand if you want to contact us tweet us on twitter so i stand by i want to.
12:58 pm
12:59 pm
live. but almost. all but i will only react to situations i haven't read the reports so i'm likely to put it to the no i will leave them to state department to comment on your latter point of the month to say that it is secure yet a car is on the dock in melbourne. you know no more weasel words. when you have a direct question are you prepared for a change when you throw a punch be ready for a bad. freedom of speech and little down the freedom to crush.
