Both pidgin and creole languages are products of colonialism, contact languages that developed when groups speaking different languages needed a shared means of communication. Typically, the lexifier—the dominant language that contributes most of the vocabulary and grammar—has been English, though there are instances of pidgins based on French and Basque as well. While pidgins, such as the Broome Pearling Lugger Pidgin, are simplified languages with limited vocabulary and basic grammatical structures, creoles are more developed pidgins that have stabilized and are now used as a primary or native language, particularly by children. Creoles, such as the Torres Strait and Roper River Kriol in Australia, are fully-fledged languages with complex structures and rich vocabularies.   The Pidgins and Creoles of Melanesia South Sea whalers boiling blubber, watercolor by Sir Oswald Brierly, 1876. Source: Wikimedia Commons   Estimates suggest that between 20 to 30 pidgin and Creole languages are currently spoken across various islands in the Pacific. Melanesia is one of the most linguistically rich and diverse regions in the world, with Papua New Guinea being the most linguistically diverse country globally, featuring at least 840 known languages spoken by its inhabitants.   The so-called Early Melanesian Pidgin emerged in the 19th century when Europeans, along with Australians and Americans, began establishing trading stations for whaling, sandalwood, and bêche-de-mer (trepang) in Melanesia. Locals, who spoke thousands of sometimes very different languages, communicated with the English-speaking newcomers through a mix of simplified English and gestures. Over the following decades, the Early Melanesian Pidgin spread extensively across the various Melanesian islands, evolving under the influence of the local languages. As a result, three different pidgins are now spoken in Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands, and Papua New Guinea.   Solomon Islands, photograph by Gilly Tanabose.

It is one of Papua New Guinea’s three official languages, along with English and Hiri Motu. Hiri Motu itself (initially called Police Motu) is a pidginized form of Motu (or True Motu), the Central Papuan Tip language spoken predominantly in the Port Moresby region. Tok Pisin developed during the latter half of the 19th century on the island’s sugarcane and copra plantations, where most workers came from Malaysia, Melanesia, and China.   The distinction between pidgins and creoles continues to be debated and can change as the status of languages evolves. For instance, Tok Pisin is sometimes classified as a pidgin, an “expanded pidgin,” or even a creole due to its complexity and extensive use as a vernacular rather than merely as a lingua franca.   Vanuatu, photograph by Sebastian Luo. Source: Unsplash   Bislama, known as bichelamar among the French, is the national language of the Republic of Vanuatu, formerly known as the New Hebrides, a volcanic archipelago in the South Pacific Ocean, east of New Guinea and southeast of Solomon Islands. Bislama is an English-based pidgin, with over 95% of its vocabulary derived from English. The rest largely comes from French and the local Austronesian languages of Vanuatu.   The origins and development of Bislama are closely linked to the history of Australia, particularly to the shameful phenomenon now referred to as “blackbirding.” When former “blackbirds”—South Sea Islander men and women who were kidnapped or employed on plantations in Queensland, Samoa, Fiji, and New Caledonia—were finally able to return to their native islands, they brought with them the pidgin they had learned.   South Sea Islander women working on a sugarcane plantation near Cairns, Queensland, 1895. Source: National Museum of Australia   Over the years, Pijin, the English-based pidgin language spoken extensively in the Solomon Islands, has effectively become the unofficial national language of the six major islands and approximately 900 smaller islands that make up the Solomons, or Solomon Aelan, as they are known in Pijin. About 80% of its vocabulary is derived from English, its main lexifier. Pijin is closely related to both Tok Pisin and Bislama in terms of its history and linguistic origins; today, it is spoken as a main language in urban centers and as a secondary language in most rural areas.   Aboriginal English Aboriginal Australians employed in R.A. Cunningham’s touring company in Germany, photograph by Julius Schaar, 1885. Source: National Portrait Gallery   Many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders today speak Standard Australian English (AusE), the language of colonization that was imposed on their ancestors at the expense of their ancestral languages. However, an estimated 80% of Aboriginal Australians regularly speak Aboriginal English (AbE) as a first, and often only, language.   Aboriginal English is a diverse collection of dialects that lie between Standard Australian English (AusE) and the various Aboriginal languages and creoles spoken throughout Australia. As Sharon Davis notes in an article for AIATSIS, the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies, “AbE is not a form of AusE, but rather both are varieties of English.” Like any language, Aboriginal English features “heavy” and “light” varieties, with the latter often being inaccessible to outsiders and those who do not speak AbE.   Survey team working for the Northern Territory Public Works Department, photograph by Anton Faymann, 1957-58. Source: Wikimedia Commons   Some linguists believe that in certain communities Aboriginal English did not evolve from a pidgin-based language but instead emerged from an Aboriginalization of English, with Aboriginal speakers adapting English by incorporating specific accents, rhythms, words, and phrases from their ancestral languages. In this context, English was shaped by the local Aboriginal languages, rather than the reverse. Sharon Davis also points out that Aboriginal English is not formally taught in schools or universities because it is a “community-developed language that belongs to community.”   In AbE, constructions such as uninverted questions (“That’s your car?” instead of “Is that your car?”) and double negatives are rather common. These should not be considered grammatical errors but different grammatical rules consistent with Aboriginal English. Nowadays, given the racist use of pidgin languages by non-Indigenous Australians in the past, using the term “pidgin English” in regards to Aboriginal English is often considered offensive.   In Australia’s central desert regions, in present-day Northern Territory, as well as northern Queensland and parts of Western Australia, European encroachment proceeded much slower than in the rest of the country, photograph by Damien Tait. Source: Unsplash   It is worth remembering that the colonization of Australia did not occur uniformly across the continent. The southern regions, specifically present-day Victoria and New South Wales were the first to be settled. By the 1850s, Aboriginal customs and traditional ways of life had already experienced a significant decline.   In contrast, in the tropical north and the central desert regions—including what is now northern Queensland, the Northern Territory, and part of Western Australia—European encroachment proceeded at a slower pace, allowing Aboriginal lifestyles and languages to remain largely intact for many years. The evolution of Aboriginal English dialects and the survival or extinction of Indigenous languages reflect the different phases of European colonization and the development of Indigenous-settler relations since the onset of colonialism.   Torres Strait Creole Catching sardines in the Torres Strait in a picture that is part of the Williamson Collection assembled by Archdeacon A.N. Williamson, 1900s-1930s. Source: Wikimedia Commons   Torres Strait Creole, also known as Yumplatok and Ailan Tok, is an English-based creole spoken by Aboriginal communities on various Torres Strait Islands, situated between the northern tip of Queensland and Papua New Guinea, as well as in southwestern coastal Papua New Guinea, and Northern Cape York on mainland Australia. In Queensland, particularly in coastal communities such as Brisbane, Townsville, Cairns, Mackay, and Rockhampton, it is the most widely spoken Indigenous language, used as either a first or second language.   Torres Strait Creole originated in the 1870s as a pidgin language that served as a bridge between locals and English-speaking newcomers—traders, missionaries, workers, and settlers. It quickly evolved into a full creole.   Torres Strait Islanders, who were discouraged and actively prevented from speaking their ancestral languages, began to incorporate words and distinctive structures from their languages, particularly Meriam Mir and Kala Lagaw Ya, along with expressions from Standard Australian English.   Double outrigger canoe made of cedar, palm, bamboo, and grass from Saibai Island, in the Torres Strait, 2000. Source: National Museum of Australia   Some Yumplatok words also derive from Japanese, Malay, and various languages spoken in Papua New Guinea, such as Bine, Kiwai, Motu, and Gizrra. Overall, Torres Strait Creole shows more similarities with Pacific creoles and pidgins, such as Tok Pisin, Bislama, and Pijin, rather than other creole languages spoken on mainland Australia.   While the vocabulary mainly comes from English, the sentence structure and verb conjugations are influenced by Torres Strait languages, and its phonology and pronunciation borrow heavily from both groups. Today, Torres Strait Creole continues to be used by thousands of people—7,380 persons, according to the 2021 census—either as a first or second language.   Roper River Kriol Roper River Mission, renamed Ngukurr in 1988. Source: Wikimedia Commons   Unlike Yumplatok, Kriol (also known as Roper River Kriol) descends from the Port Jackson Pidgin English (PJPE), which developed upon contact between Aboriginal people and British colonizers in the area that is now Sydney, New South Wales, during the early days of colonization. Kriol is still spoken in the Top End and the Kimberley region. PJPE gradually died out in most parts of Australia but persisted in the Northern Territory. Linguists call this variant Northern Territory Pidgin English (NTPE).   By the turn of the 20th century, the language had stabilized and creolized, meaning, it developed from a contact language pidgin into a fully functioning creole, with its own unique rules, pronunciation, and grammatical structures, particularly on cattle stations, missions, and reserves. The Roper River Mission (now known by its Aboriginal name Ngukurr) was the first place where it consistently creolized.   Missions and reserves in Australia. Source: Australian Museum   In 1908, around 200 Aboriginal people from different tribes lived among Anglican missionaries in the Roper River region. Their children spoke different languages but were placed into dormitories together, which facilitated the creolization of the contact language they spoke, despite the missionaries’ efforts to teach children Standard English as their first language.   Kriol is now the largest language spoken exclusively in Australia and the second most common language in the Northern Territory. Because it is generally difficult for non-speakers to understand and nearly incomprehensible to those who only speak Standard English, Kriol (and Yumplatok) speakers have often faced discrimination, both physical and psychological. Like Aboriginal English, Kriol is a language deeply rooted in the communities where it is spoken. It is a distinct language from English, fully functional, complex, sophisticated, and expressive enough to be used to translate Shakespeare’s works and the Bible.   Broome Pearling Lugger Pidgin Japanese pearl divers in Broome, 1914. Source: National Museum of Australia   By the turn of the 20th century, Broome (or Rubibi, as called by the Yawuru people) became the center of the pearling industry, catering to the increasing European and American demand for large pearl shell buttons and mother-of-pearl shells used for buckles, cufflinks, musical instruments, and cutlery handles. By 1900, Western Australia experienced a boom in the pearling industry. Infrastructure such as hospitals, roads, stores, and jails were built to support the pearling fleets along the coast, from Shark Bay in the south to King Sound in the north.   Broome, a coastal town in the Kimberley region of present-day Western Australia, attracted workers from Japan, China, and Korea, who often integrated with local Aboriginal tribes and Torres Strait Islanders, despite the rising white Australia movement and anti-Asia discrimination. For decades, pearling represented not only a significant source of income but also a point of pride for Aboriginal, Islander, and Asian communities in Australia.   Broome, Western Australia, photograph by Paul-Alain Hunt. Source: Unsplash   Pearlers, both men and women, came from various cultural, linguistic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Some were Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, while others were Asian or European. In this rich, multicultural, and multilingual environment, the Broome Pearling Lugger Pidgin emerged. This language served as a bridge for communication between Aboriginal people, Malays, Japanese, Torres Strait Islanders, Koreans, and Chinese workers on pearling boats around Broome and the north coast of Western Australia.   The primary lexifier of the Broome Pearling Lugger Pidgin was not English, but Kupang Malay. Its vocabulary and grammar were influenced by Malay, Japanese, Chinese, and local Aboriginal languages, as well as English—though some linguists note that the English terms used were more similar to Aboriginal Australian than Standard Australian English. The Broome Pearling Lugger Pidgin ceased to be used in the 1960s.   South Sea Islander wooden figure, 1914. Source: British Museum   Its history reflects the changing demographics of the pearling workforce. As the workforce became more ethnically uniform—particularly following the 1901 Immigration Restriction Act and after World War I and World War II—the need for the language diminished, leading to its gradual decline in use.   The origins and development of pidgins, from Tok Pisin to Bislama and the Broome Pearling Lugger Pidgin, as well as creole languages such as the Torres Strait and Roper River Kriol, are revealing of the colonial history of most countries in the Pacific. From Australia to Papua New Guinea, from Vanuatu to the Solomon Islands, pidgins emerged when the local population came into contact with newcomers—typically Anglophone settlers, traders, and whalers—who required a common language for communication.   Over time, some pidgins evolved into more complex forms and eventually became the first languages of some communities. In the Pacific, as in North America, languages continue to reflect historical events and socio-economic developments.

  Throughout the 19th century, the Victorians grew utterly obsessed with Christmas. New Christmas traditions and treats were made popular by the royal family and soon caught on in ordinary Victorian homes. Many of these are still favored today. But which of our favorite Christmas traditions can we credit to the Victorians? Read on to find out…   Christmas in the Victorian Period Christmas tree, photo by Elliott B. Source: Unsplash   One of the major cultural shifts within the Victorian Period was introduced as a result of the Industrial Revolution. With more employment than ever before in factories across the country, workers’ rights were considered in Parliament. The 1833 Factory Act established Christmas Day (Dec 25) and Boxing Day (Dec 26) as official holidays for working people, which marked a major shift in celebration conventions—though this did still vary depending on employer policies. December 26 became colloquially known as “Boxing Day” because servants and working people would open Christmas boxes from their employers, which included gifts—often of food and drink.   Gifts, too, became more accessible for the middle classes as industrialization transformed how goods were made. Factories replaced the small workshops that made hand-made toys, allowing for toys to be produced quickly and in far greater quantities than before. Items like skipping ropes and wooden trains were more readily available for giving as Christmas presents.   This shift also changed how families approached Christmas. With an expanding market of affordable items on offer, gifting became a more central part of the season, especially for children. Stores and markets began to display arrays of dolls, puzzles, games, and novelty items, encouraging a culture of browsing and buying in the weeks before Christmas.   As these new consumer habits took hold, Christmas began to feel more structured and celebratory than it had in earlier generations. Households paid greater attention to decorating their homes, sharing special meals, and observing rituals that marked the holiday as distinct from the rest of the winter calendar. This atmosphere of anticipation and celebration created fertile ground for new customs to flourish.   1. The Christmas Tree The royal family decorate a Christmas tree, from Illustrated London News, 1848. Source: Ashmolean Museum   The monarch, Queen Victoria—namesake of the era—delighted in Christmas. In large part, this was thanks to her husband, Prince Albert. Having moved to England to marry the queen, Albert brought many of the traditions of his Germanic heritage along with him.   One of these traditions was the humble Christmas tree, which originated in 16th-century Germany, evolving out of early German customs such as the “paradise tree” (a fir tree adorned with apples for ‘Adam & Eve’ day).   Queen Charlotte, the wife of King George III, was from Germany and first introduced a Christmas tree to Windsor Castle in 1800. The tradition caught on among the upper classes, but didn’t reach much wider until Prince Albert married Queen Victoria, and an image of the family around a decorated tree was published in the December 1848 Christmas Supplement to the Illustrated London News. The image depicted Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, and their family members admiring the Windsor Castle Christmas tree, decorated with ornaments and lit candles. The tradition caught on! The image was hugely popular and influenced many to bring evergreens inside their homes to be decorated.   Since lit candles posed obvious fire risks, less hazardous decorations included gingerbread, stars, ribbons, cakes, and candied fruits as well as hand-made decorations made from paper and card.   Together, these developments reshaped the season into a shared cultural event, with an emphasis on a domestic togetherness that was rich with ritual.   2. Christmas Crackers Christmas Crackers, by Nick Fewings. Source: Unsplash   London confectioner Tom Smith invented Christmas crackers in 1847. Smith ran a popular sweet shop and visited Paris on a sourcing trip. While there, he learnt of the French custom of giving children bonbons. These sweets of sugared almonds wrapped in twisted colored paper often contained a loving message inside.   Smith spotted the marketing potential of a sweet with a hidden message and brought the idea back to England for his own business. He experimented with the contents, and replaced the bonbon with toys or trinkets.   The experimentation led him to design a “snap” mechanism which triggered when the wrapping was pulled open. The mechanism was made of two layered strips of paper, with silver fulminate on one side and an abrasive surface on the other. When pulled, the friction caused an explosion. Smith called it the “Bangs of Expectation,” but thanks to the onomatopoeic cracking noise, it soon became known as a “cracker.”   3. Gift-Giving Christmas Presents, photo by Mel Poole. Source: Unsplash   Queen Victoria adored presents, both the giving and the receiving. She insisted that unwrapped presents should be spread out across tables, so they could be seen and enjoyed. Although gift-giving in winter is a very ancient practice, it was popularized by the Victorians.   The royal household gave gifts to all their staff on Christmas Eve; this could be anything from small trinkets to books or clothing. The most lavish gifts were from Victoria and Albert to one another—jewelry, art, even puppies, were regularly exchanged.   Ordinary Victorians would not have experienced the same luxuries, though small tokens were often exchanged on Christmas Eve.   4. Christmas Dinner The Cratchits’ Christmas dinner in Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, as illustrated by E. A. Abbey, 1872. Source: Library of Congress   Christmas Dinner was a growing tradition in the Victorian Era, again popularized by the royals.   The Christmas Luncheon of the royal household was a multi-course extravaganza. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert dined on courses of pies, soups, turkey, goose, sausages, plum puddings, and mince pies.   Many Victorian families re-created the Christmas Dinner in their own ways. Some joined a “goose club” created by local butchers, which incentivized the purchase of birds for roasting by introducing payment plans, so that buyers could pay for their goose in installments throughout the year.   Christmas dinner, photo by Krackenimages. Source: Unsplash   In Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, the impoverished Cratchit family finds joy in the smallness of their feast:   “There never was such a goose. Bob said he didn’t believe there ever was such a goose cooked. Its tenderness and flavour, size and cheapness, were the themes of universal admiration. Eked out by apple-sauce and mashed potatoes, it was a sufficient dinner for the whole family; indeed, as Mrs Cratchit said with great delight (surveying one small atom of a bone upon the dish), they hadn’t ate it all at last! Yet everyone had had enough, and the youngest Cratchits in particular, were steeped in sage and onion to the eyebrows!” “In half a minute Mrs Cratchit entered: flushed, but smiling proudly: with the pudding, like a speckled cannon-ball, so hard and firm, blazing. In half of half-a-quartern of ignited brandy, and bedight with Christmas holly stuck into the top, Oh, a wonderful pudding – Bob Cratchit said, and calmly too, that he regarded it as the greatest success achieved by Mrs Cratchit since their marriage. Mrs Cratchit said that now the weight was off her mind, she would confess she had had her doubts about the quantity of flour. Everybody had something to say about it, but nobody said or thought it was at all a small pudding for a large family. It would have been flat heresy to do so. Any Cratchit would have blushed to hint at such a thing.”   5. Mistletoe Paper collage by Mary Delany, 1789. Source: Wikimedia Commons   Kissing under the mistletoe had become popular in the centuries before the Victorian Era. However, Victorian tradition introduced superstition to the custom. It was said that any maiden who refused the offer of a kiss under a hanging bough of mistletoe would not be married in the following year.   This was made all the more menacing as the mistletoe plant was symbolic of romance, love, and fertility. Victorians created “kissing balls” out of sprigs of mistletoe and evergreens, arranging them in elaborate spheres for hanging in a doorway or a stairwell.

Some new age health experts hide from the sun because they are worried about aging in appearance and getting skin cancer. However, aging starts from the inside and sunlight actually plays a major role in preserving cellular lifespan. A groundbreaking study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reveals that vitamin D, the “sunshine vitamin,” may hold the key to slowing biological aging by preserving telomeres—the protective caps on our chromosomes that dictate cellular lifespan. This discovery isn’t just another footnote in nutritional science; it’s a direct challenge to the medical-industrial complex that profits from keeping people sick. With chronic disease rates skyrocketing and mainstream medicine failing to address root causes, vitamin D emerges as a powerful, underutilized tool for longevity, immune resilience, and disease prevention. Article by Lance D. Johnson, republished with permission from Naturalnews.com Key points: Vitamin D supplementation slows telomere shortening, effectively delaying cellular aging by nearly three years. Higher vitamin D levels correlate with longer telomeres, equivalent to cells being five years “younger.” Sunlight exposure and dietary sources (like fatty fish and mushrooms) naturally boost vitamin D, reducing reliance on synthetic drugs. Chronic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and even cancer risk may be mitigated by optimal vitamin D levels. Sunlight also boosts nitric oxide production, preventing cardiovascular disease. Despite its benefits, mainstream medicine continues to downplay vitamin D’s role, leaving millions deficient and vulnerable. The telomere connection: How vitamin D defies aging Telomeres, often compared to the plastic tips of shoelaces, protect our chromosomes from fraying with each cell division. As they shorten, cells deteriorate, leading to aging and disease. The latest research confirms what natural health advocates have long argued: vitamin D doesn’t just support bones—it actively repairs telomeres by enhancing telomerase, the enzyme responsible for their maintenance. Dr. JoAnn Manson, lead researcher of the VITAL trial, states, “In terms of telomere shortening, the effect was similar to saving about three years of aging.” This isn’t speculative science. A separate study in the International Journal of Obesity found that overweight participants taking 2,000 IU of vitamin D daily saw a staggering 20% increase in telomere length. Women with higher vitamin D levels had telomeres resembling those of someone five years younger. Yet, despite this evidence, public health guidelines still recommend dangerously low daily allowances—600 IU for most adults—while ignoring the therapeutic potential of higher doses. Sunlight vs. supplements: The corporate war on natural health Big Pharma can’t patent sunlight, and that’s precisely why its benefits are systematically suppressed. The National Institutes of Health admits that just 5–30 minutes of sun exposure twice weekly can synthesize sufficient vitamin D—yet fearmongering about skin cancer has driven people indoors, creating a deficiency epidemic. Meanwhile, drug companies push statins, immunosuppressants, and chemotherapy while ignoring a nutrient that could prevent the very conditions they profit from. Dr. Manson cautions against mega-dosing, warning of potential toxicity, but the real toxicity the the medical establishment’s refusal to prioritize prevention. Sue-Ellen Anderson-Haynes, a nutrition expert, notes, “The study really shines a light on how vitamin D can help the body… in so many facets of health including the gut microbiome, mood, and sleep.” Yet, those most at risk—older adults, people with malabsorption issues like Crohn’s disease, and those on osteoporosis drugs—are rarely tested for deficiency. The chronic disease revolution: What mainstream medicine won’t tell you Vitamin D’s impact extends far beyond aging. Research links deficiency to: Autoimmune diseases: Higher levels reduce the risk of MS, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus. Cancer: Vitamin D suppresses tumor growth and metastasis. Heart disease: It lowers inflammation, a key driver of cardiovascular damage. It also boosts nitric oxide production, preserving cardiovascular health long term. Depression: Low levels correlate with mood disorders and seasonal affective disorder. Despite this, doctors routinely prescribe immunosuppressants instead of sunlight, antidepressants instead of D3, and chemotherapy instead of addressing nutrient deficiencies. The VITAL trial’s findings expose this negligence, proving that a simple, low-cost intervention could save millions from needless suffering and pharmaceutical exploitation.

We learned that in 2020, didn't we? But it's so much worse than you even realized. We reported very early on in the "planned-demic" that everyone should get as much sun exposure as they can and supplement with additional Vitamin D supplements. But what did the Legacy Media tell you to do? Stay inside! And if you do leave your house, cover up your face so almost no skin is available to soak in any Vitamin D! They told you the EXACT OPPOSITE of what would have made a huge difference. God programmed our bodies and set up this world so that it's fairly idiot-proof. He made our skin a giant sun receptor and then gave our bodies the ability to soak in the sun and process that sunlight into Vitamin D and other vitamins and minerals that will naturally heal us and keep us healthy. How genius! So we told you to simply follow God's blueprint from early on in the pandemic....and now we're being vindicated!

Looking at data from 16 different studies and 1.26 million individuals, the meta-analysis revealed: • Vitamin D showed about a 60% effectiveness against the incidence of COVID-19 in randomized control trials. • Vitamin D showed about 40-50% effectiveness in reducing the incidence of COVID-19 in observational studies. • For preventing severe COVID-19 cases requiring ICU care, vitamin D supplementation was about 70% effective. So, we didn’t need to lock ourselves inside for years, be afraid, and vilify our neighbors for not wearing a mask. All we needed to do was to go outside, get sunshine, and increase our vitamin D levels, and everything would have been fine.

COVID #Truth pic.twitter.com/qdBn22fhsI — Noah Christopher (@DailyNoahNews) February 3, 2023 But I'm just getting started... Keep reading EXPOSED: Vitamin D Treatment for C-19 Completely Vindicated By New Scientific Study! Imagine that...Vitamin D works. In fact, it works really well! Just. Like. We. Told. You! Here is my friend Kyle Becker with more on his Substack: Public health authorities around the world suppressed scientific evidence that Vitamin D deficiency was associated with severe Covid outcomes, and furthermore, some officials misled the public about alleged studies showing the vitamin did nothing for treating the viral infection. A 'Nature' report published in mid-November called the "Association between vitamin D supplementation and COVID-19 infection and mortality" is cause for concern for lockdown proponents. Vitamin D deficiency has long been associated with reduced immune function that can lead to viral infection. Several studies have shown that Vitamin D deficiency is associated with increases the risk of infection with COVID-19. However, it is unknown if treatment with Vitamin D can reduce the associated risk of COVID-19 infection, which is the focus of this study. In the population of US veterans, we show that Vitamin D2 and D3 fills were associated with reductions in COVID-19 infection of 28% and 20%, respectively [(D3 Hazard Ratio (HR) = 0.80, [95% CI 0.77, 0.83]), D2 HR = 0.72, [95% CI 0.65, 0.79]]. Mortality within 30-days of COVID-19 infection was similarly 33% lower with Vitamin D3 and 25% lower with D2 (D3 HR = 0.67, [95% CI 0.59, 0.75]; D2 HR = 0.75, [95% CI 0.55, 1.04]). We also find that after controlling for vitamin D blood levels, veterans receiving higher dosages of Vitamin D obtained greater benefits from supplementation than veterans receiving lower dosages. Veterans with Vitamin D blood levels between 0 and 19 ng/ml exhibited the largest decrease in COVID-19 infection following supplementation. Black veterans received greater associated COVID-19 risk reductions with supplementation than White veterans. As a safe, widely available, and affordable treatment, Vitamin D may help to reduce the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. The statistical analysis showed that "Vitamin D3 supplementation was associated with a 33% lower risk of COVID-19 infection ending in mortality within 30 days," the study noted. "However, results for vitamin D2 were statistically insignificant." Vitamin D insufficiency affects almost 50% of the population worldwide. Vitamin D supplements may have been helpful not only for treatment and prevention of Covid-19 treatment, but a host of other chronic illnesses. It was a win/win for the patients to get more sunshine and Vitamin D supplements, but arguably, a loss for public health professionals and the pharmaceutical industry that had gone into overdrive pushing a 'vaccines or nothing' Covid response. The 'Nature' study further throws into serious question the decision to enforce lockdowns during the Covid pandemic, which compelled millions of civilians to stay indoors, and deprived them of the Vitamin-D-promoting powers of sunlight. Furthermore, there is scarce if any evidence that Covid-19 is spread outdoors. Adding to the public's confusion on the matter, British Health Secretary Matt Hancock misled the Parliament in 2020 by stating that a Vitamin D study was conducted that showed it was not effective for treating Covid. "Health Secretary Matt Hancock was told to 'get his facts straight' today after shooting down vitamin D as a potential coronavirus treatment despite a growing body of evidence from around the world suggesting it works," the Daily Mail reported at the time. "Experts have for months been calling for officials to look into the immune system-boosting nutrient's effect on Covid-19 patients after a mountain of research showed a link to vitamin D deficiency," the report added. "Mr Hancock told the House of Commons last week he had green-lit a Government-funded 'trial' investigating vitamin D and that it did not 'appear to have any impact'." In 2020, however, there were data that showed strong correlations between Vitamin D and Covid outcomes. A University of East Anglia study showed that case rates tended to decrease with higher Vitamin D levels among the population. A University of Chicago study found 60 per cent higher rates of Covid-19 with low levels of the 'sunshine vitamin' among a sample population of 500 Americans. A study by Tehran University, in Iran, and Boston University analysed data from 235 hospitalised patients with Covid-19. Patients who had sufficient vitamin D - of at least 30 ng/mL— were 51.5 per cent less likely to die from the disease. Vitamin D isn't the only alleged 'fake news' treatment to have been vindicated in recent weeks. Without going into arguments about the efficacy of the medication, doctors have won a concession from government lawyers thatprescribing 'Ivermectin' for Covid infections in an off-label capacity is within the discretion of physicians. Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine and Vitamin D have one thing in common: They were all low-cost alternatives to Covid vaccination and expensive treatments that Big Pharma dismissed out-of-hand during the pandemic. Was their rush to dismiss these treatments based on the Science or based on their profits? Further research is leading many to believe that it was much less of the former than the latter. We shouted this from the rooftops from Day 1! In fact, I think I may be one of the largest Vitamin D sellers in the world after I kept imploring everyone to get some and take it regularly! Who else would have known? All the doctors that got banned from social media and their medical licenses taken away for promoting things like Vitamin D, Ivermectin and other simple remedies! Who should have known? The MSM. Big Tech. Big Pharma. Oh, I believe they certainly did know, but you know what the problem is? Vitamin D is CHEAP! And not patented! And they needed us locked up in our houses for so many reasons... To complete the 2020 Steal... To demoralize the people... To weaken America... And so they could NOT allow the truth about Vitamin D to actually be admitted. Yet here we are 2 years later and the truth has now came out. It works. It works really well. WE TOLD YOU! Check this out: New research confirms vitamin D is associated with a significant reduction in Covid infection/mortality. Lies were told, freedoms were taken, lives were lost.

(@DrJohnB2) November 26, 2022 And this: HUGE NEWS A new study found that taking vitamin D reduces covid deaths by 33% Wonder why this isnt being promoted... Could it be because it's very cheaphttps://t.co/v9Jalo5u07 — PeterSweden (@PeterSweden7) November 22, 2022 From PeterSweden's Substack: Do you remember when years ago at the beginning of the pandemic, some people said it would be a good idea to take vitamin D and that it could possibly help against covid? Of course, they were called conspiracy theorists and vilified. Especially those who talked about a certain "horse paste" were very much attacked by the media. No, only crazy people would take something like that. The science had spoken! We would have to wait for some official new medicine from Pfizer to safely treat covid they said, a treatment that also happened to be very expensive and would make a lot of money... As as you probably know, more or less the only treatment we have been offered for covid is the mRNA vaccines, a technology that hasn't been widely used before. Take the vaccine and you would not get covid they said. In unrelated news... A cruise ship in Australia just had 800 people onboard get infected with covid. What the media isn't telling you is that everyone onboard had to be fully vaccinated AND tested. Very effective! It turns out there is in fact a very cheap, safe and effective thing that protects against covid - That thing is called vitamin D! By the way, this article is so important that I will not be putting any kind of paywall on it even though it took me a long time to write, as the information here can help save lives. So please take a few seconds to make sure you follow me (it's free) here on Substack, and share this article everywhere you can! Or if you want to support my work and help me write more important articles like this, please consider becoming a paid subscriber A new study published in the prestigious nature magazine has indeed found that vitamin D not only reduced your risk of getting infected with covid, but also lowers the risk of death. This study is no small study either. Over 600 000 U.S veterans took part in the study, so we are getting good reliable data here. And they used different versions of vitamin D, one called vitamin D2 and the other vitamin D3 and they both produced different results. So what does the study show? For the participants who got vitamin D3, there was a nice 20% reduction in getting infected with covid. For those who got vitamin D2, there was large 28% reduction in covid infections. Meaning that if you took vitamin D2, you would be almost 30% less likely to even be infected by covid to begin with. That is huge. But for those who took a very high level dose of vitamin D, the reduction in covid infections was even higher. At an average daily dosage of 50 000 IU of vitamin D in people who had low levels to begin with, there was a 49% reduction in covid infections. It turns out that the higher the vitamin D dosage, the lower the risk for infection. Interesting. What about covid deaths? Here is where things get very interesting indeed. Let's begin by saying that among the untreated group, only 0.35% died from covid. So the death rate is pretty low to begin with. But there is a way to lower this death rate significantly...with vitamin D For those who took vitamin D3, there was a massive 33% REDUCTION in deaths within 30 days after a covid infection. Not only that, but there was actually another study done in Andalusia which saw the exact same 33% reduction in deaths. Two different studies done in different places giving the same result? I think that is what we call real science! So you reduce the risk of getting covid. You reduce the risk of dying after covid by taking vitamin D, a safe, effective and very cheap treatment.

Who will be held accountible? How many people were unnecessarily killed by Covid because of the massive censorship campaign that memory-holed the benefits of Vitamin D, ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine? Will anyone ever be held accountable for this? — Paul Mitchell (@PaulMitchell_AB) November 21, 2022 https://twitter.com/BernieSpofforth/status/1594819033559404545 Here's what we told you all along.... Before we go any further, let me give you my standard disclaimer: I am not a doctor.  I'm not giving medical advice.  I'm not claiming I can treat or cure any medical disease.   There, we good? We on the same page? I am a reporter and an investigator and I love interviewing smart people.  Interesting people.  People who have something that can help the world! Ok, let's continue.... Because I'm very excited to share this with you and I think it might help a lot of people. I want to talk about the poison vaxx and it's damaging effects.... I know many people were forced into taking it. Threatened with the loss of their jobs.... Shamed into taking it... Bribed into taking it.... Conned into thinking you had to take it to "help Grandma". Whatever the case, millions of people now regret it and they want it OUT of their body! I can't guarantee results, but after talking with Chris Burres at C60 Evo I am so encouraged about what this might do for you. We talked about how similar it is to Glutathione and how it removes free radicals and bad actors from your body. Want to remove graphine? Want to remove poison nano-particles? Give your body a fighting chance! I'll let Burres explain in his own words... Watch here on Rumble: ESS60: The Secret To Overcoming The Poison Vaxx?

I love C60 and I personally take it every day. Here's more about why: EXCLUSIVE REPORT: Is C60 Your "Secret Weapon" To Staying Healthy? Hi friends, Noah here with a Special Report! I want to take a moment to break from the news and talk about something that is vitally important:  your "vitals"! Your health is something that is more important now than ever before, so I had Chris Burres from C60 Evo back on my show to talk about what I'm calling the "secret weapon" to staying healthy. Why secret? Because most people have never heard about C60, but it's the real deal....that is, if you consider winning a "Nobel Prize" the real deal. Not a bad thing to have on your resume! I had Burres on my show a few months ago and I received so many questions for him about C60 that I had to get him back on and go through all of them. Now is NOT the time to take chances with your health....I think we can all agree on that, right? So if some of these questions sound familiar, it might be because they came from you! Before we go to the interview, let me give you a little more background.... First, let me give you my disclaimer: I'm not a doctor and I'm not giving you medical advice.  I'm not telling you this is going to treat or cure any condition you have.  I'm just telling you what I have personally experienced. Consult your own doctor before taking any vitamin, mineral, supplement or medicine. Because I have been taking C60 for over a year now and I love it! In fact, the only reason I ever connected with Burres in the first place is because I was such a fan of their product that I contacted them and asked if there was any way I could get them on the show! And they were gracious enough to give their time (twice now) to come on and chat with me. So let me talk to you for a bit about my personal experience with C60 over the past year and why I think it's so vital to keeping my immune system at FULL STRENGTH.... C60 is a powerful antioxidant often described as the "perfect carbon molecule". It's an antioxidant that has been measured to be 172x more powerful than Vitamin C!  How about that? No, it's not actually "Vitamin C" itself, it just has 172 times the antioxidant power of Vitamin C, and that's a big deal! That's like, 172 oranges! You can't eat 172 oranges, but you can protect and strengthen your body! Not only is it an antioxidant, but it's an anti-viral and an anti-bacterial and an anti-inflammatory. I'll tell you one thing....ever since I saw the Deep State going after Carbon and trying to tax carbon emissions with their Al-Gore Carbon Tax, I immediately knew one thing:  I bet Carbon is actually pretty good for you! Turns out I was right. Especially the Carbon-60 "perfect carbon molecule." So once I learned more about it, I then set out to find where to buy it from the most reputable company. I found there are a lot of companies selling C60 that might actually be bad for you and toxic (not fit for human consumption!), so I found the one that has the highest standards and safest, most continually-tested product out there....and that was C60 Evo. I've been personally taking C60 for over a year and feel amazing so in light of all the health issues plaguing our nation right now, I decided I'd have one of its founders, Chris Burres, back on my show. We kept this interview a little shorter so listen closely as we move FAST through a ton of details. If you're ready to: Get better, deep and restful sleep.... Have more energy during the day... Experience less negative effects after drinking alcohol... Keep your immune system in prime condition... ....then you need to hear this interview.

DISCLAIMER: I'm not a doctor and I don't practice medicine. And neither is Clif! Neither of us is giving you medical advice.  NOTHING in this article is medical advice. Ok? Ok. I'm just reporting on what others have said. But let's be honest....I think I can probably do better than the "doctors" like Dr. Fraudci, Dr. Birxx who lie to you and serve you up a big heaping pile of propaganda! You can probably take whatever they tell you to do and just do the opposite and you'd probably be pretty close to an ideal course of action! So no, I'm not a doctor, but if being a doctor puts you in the same class as Dr. FRAUDci, then I take not being a doctor as a badge of honor. I'm a reporter. I simply report what I hear and see from others. To paraphrase a once great network: I report, you decide! But what I can report is that it sure looks like some very basic stuff can drastically help you recover and protect your body going forward! Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Chaga Mushroom Tea, C60, and of course hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin may be highly effective! If you scroll down, I have links for you. And let's consider the worst case scenario.....taking more vitamins is almost never a bad thing, right? Your body needs them regardless of what virus is floating around out there. As long as you don't take too much of the fat-soluble vitamins, it's almost NEVER a bad thing to give your body more vitamins. Now let me give you a little more background on Clif and why he's making these recommendations.... Watch this video where Clif High explains what the spike protein is actually doing to your body, why it is definitely a bio-weapon, and how each of the items listed above can help: [iframe src="https://www.bitchute.com/embed/sbls9aO7kys6/" width="100%" height="360"] Here is one more where he goes into even more detail and in this one he talks about the power of C60 and why you need to get some! Ever since you were a kid, you were told to get your vitamins! It's basic advice that was good then and is still good now! You need large doses of the right kind of Vitamin C, 10-15,000 IU's of Vitamin D to maintain certain blood levels, and then Clif recommends C60 too. Watch the interview here from Rumble (they discuss it in the first 10 minutes) and then scroll down for links to where you can get the best of each item: If you want to follow Clif's advice, here are some links to the products I like to use. Unfortunately, I can't give you a link to NAC on Amazon because Amazon banned it. One of the oldest and most trusted supplements in the bodybuilding industry and Amazon suddenly banned it right now. Interesting. So we go with the rest of the list.... First is Glutathione: You want to get "Liposomal" Vitamin C, very important. And in case that sells out, which tends to happen, this is another good Liposomal Vitamin C: Now on to Vitamin D. Here is my current favorite and the one I personally take: And a backup Vitamin D3: And Chaga Mushroom Tea: And here is the Zinc Balance: And we end with C60. As I mentioned above, I've been personally taking C60 for over a year and I have not came down with COVID.  Not saying it treats or prevents COVID, I'm just saying my experience. Regardless of COVID, I love taking it and have noticed multiple benefits. Here's what many people have reported: C60 is a powerful antioxidant (172x the power of Vitamin C), antiviral, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory.  I liked it so much I actually contacted the company and got everyone who is reading this a deal. The company is called C60Evo. Go to their website here and then be sure to use promo code EVNOAH and you'll get 10% off your order! I love this stuff and I think you will too. Cheers to good health and a big thank you to Clif High for putting out this information! No, I'm not promising you won't get COVID, but I am saying that TAKING YOUR VITAMINS and powerful ANTIOXIDANTS is a good idea! Be smart. Be safe. Be healthy! SHARE!

I don’t mean to criticize all Pastors out there because many are doing a great job. Like my local Pastor… Like our good friend Pastor Robb… And like many others across the country, I’m sure. But the fact remains that many Pastors out there have lost any passion for their message. They deliver a lukewarm, boring message each week, devoid of inspiration, excitement or divine revelation. But do you know who is receiving the divine revelation? It’s people like born-again actor/comedian Russell Brand. What I’m about to show you is everything lacking in our mainline churches today. Excitement for Jesus. Excitement revelation and the “otherness” of Jesus Christ. Rejection of human authority that only serves to enslave us and make us good little subjects. Realizing that we were created by God, special and unique, and that we are the crowning achievement of God’s creation, not the US Federal Government. The whole thing is so good and as God has done throughout history, he didn’t give this message to religious leaders and “spiritual authorities”….he gave this message to a born-again British comedian. How perfect! Please enjoy: TRANSCRIPT: Russell Brand We are at AmFest. Merry Christmas to you. Praise the Lord. I’ve got to tell you, I did not anticipate being between Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson at a moment where that don’t seem like a good position to be. Oh man, I’m so lucky that I’ve got Jesus. I’m so blessed that I’ve got Jesus. I’m so glad that I’m not responsible for this myself. I’m here to love you. I’m here to, as best as I can, in my crazy little accent, tell you that my life has been irrevocably changed, revolutionarily changed, inconceivably altered by the power of Christ Jesus. I want to share that with you. Do you know why I’m here? I better pray first in case I mess up. You know me, I’m done. Heavenly Father, would you guide my mouth? Would you guard my lips? Oh Lord, I bend my knee and my tongue will serve you, Heavenly Father, and no other. Thank you Lord for your son Jesus Christ who died that we may know eternal life, but may we know eternity here in this moment, Lord. There is no statute of limitations on “love thy neighbor.” The whole world is our neighbor. We were intended to be one family. Heavenly Father, you gave your life. You gave your blood. And may the covenant of your blood cover us all. I pray, Father, for the eternal soul of Charlie Kirk. I thank you for his sacrifice. And I thank you, Lord, that we have this opportunity to be here in unity, the opportunity for true unity, the opportunity for community, the opportunity to be different. Lord, I thank you, Heavenly Father, for Erica Kirk’s boldness and her bravery and for her example of forgiveness. And surely if she can forgive the people of the man responsible, Lord, for the murder of her husband… surely this principle of forgiveness is something that we can all extend. Lord, may we know your grace. May we live in your grace, and particularly when it’s expensive to us, when it costs us something. May we enter into your kingdom, a kingdom of love. May we put aside petty squabbles and disputes, Lord, and may we move into a new era of grace in your glory. I pray for the kingdoms to merge. I pray for your return. I pray that we participate in making straight the paths. In the holy name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen. Hey, I want to talk to you about change and I want to talk to you about authority. I’ve had an unusual life. I used to be a Hollywood… I don’t say Hollywood movie star… I was starred in some movies. You know, if I’d have been between Tucker Carlson and Ben Shapiro like 10 years ago, man, I can’t imagine what those circumstances would have been. Maybe a Diddy party. Oh Lord, we are all compromised. We are all broken. I’m here to share with you from my position of brokenness. I’m here to share with you that I am inspired by Charlie Kirk’s legacy and his example. I’m here because Charlie Kirk asked me to come here. Charlie Kirk’s not with us anymore. So unless Erica Kirk asked me to do some stuff with Turning Point in the future, I’ll never be at a Turning Point again because for me, Turning Point—if it means anything—it means turning away and it means turning in the right direction. Repentance. Repent. Turn away from the illusion of worldliness, from its fixations and fascinations, its hypnosis. I know about carnality. I’ve got to tell you, I lived a dumb, hedonic Hollywood life. To go from a Hollywood hedonist to a Bible-believing Christian is a big journey. But we’ve got a lot of big journeys ahead of us. A lot of radical change. I didn’t think it was possible to be changed in the way that I’ve been changed. I thought it was inconceivable, unimaginable. Before turning to Christ, I suppose the biggest change that I’d ever known was the change from… well, I suppose before being a parent to becoming a parent. That’s pretty radical change. Certainly, it’s a radical change in terms of the person that you say you’ll be as a parent before you have kids, and then the person you are when your kids show up. ’Cause before I had kids, this is me: “When I have children, I’m telling you now, I will not be letting them look at screens or eat sugar or any of that stuff.” And actually, parents that do do that, I’d like to judge them. I’d like to judge them and maybe even condemn them. Now I’ve got three children. I’m like, “Oh my God, give it an iPad and a Dr Pepper. Will you silence these children?” I’ve changed a lot. I used to be vegan. Now I eat meat. I eat everything. Don’t tell me you’re more into carnivorism than the Incarnation. Don’t tell me you’re more into eating flesh than God became flesh. Don’t tell me you’re more enamored of the barbecue sauce than the holy covenant of blood. It is delicious. Man, I missed it. I was vegan for so long. I was so hungry. It was a desperate, desperate time. I can’t get enough steaks now. I’ve tried. I’m doing nothing but devouring them continually. I want to talk to you lot about the possibility of change and the possibility of transformation. And I was listening to Ben Shapiro, and I admire Ben Shapiro a great deal for many things. I think he’s an excellent man, an excellent communicator, and I think he’s done phenomenal work in a lot of areas. I believe in peace. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah. I believe that he came to atone for our sins, pay the debt that we could never pay. And indeed, if we’re going to be at a Turning Point event, we have to pay homage to the spirit of Charlie Kirk in truth and the principles of Turning Point: unapologetically telling the truth. Unapologetic, absolute attempts to understand one another, to communicate openly. And there’s clearly a conversation that needs to be had in this country right now. Clearly, there is. Doubtlessly, many people are cynical and skeptical. Turning Point has performed an incredible function in ensuring that young people have access to conservative values and conservative principles. But if you’ve read that book—if you’ve read the Bible—you will know that human institutions are fallible, beyond fallible, captured. Now, I’ve got the Bible with me, so you should know that you’re not making the terrible mistake your nation once made of listening to people with this accent, trying to tax you without representation. But there’s very little point in you having that magnificent revolution and then falling once more into the traps that had been laid a thousand times. For surely those traps are multitudinous, nefarious, deceptive, and difficult to avoid. There are imprints. The counterfeit systems of centralized control are asserted again and again and again. It is the function of the world to distract you. It is the function of the world to enchant you. It is the measure and means of the evil one to create facsimiles of systems of omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence. And I tell you this as a proud Englishman from a country where they’re introducing facial recognition technology, digital ID, ending trial by jury, incarcerating people for free speech. The United Kingdom is in trouble, and we look to you for an example, and that example must be transcendent of the political. In short, I can’t collapse my love and devotion to Christ Jesus into support of one—or any—political party. I know that Turning Point’s here to advocate primarily for Republicanism. I’m not suggesting they change what they’re doing. They’re a brilliant organization. I’m telling you that I love Jesus. Jesus. That unless people are following Christ, they will fail you and they will let you down. Now, I happen to think that Trump’s performed near miracles in office, as a matter of fact, near miracles because I think he happens to be a pretty obstinate, anomalous, and unique individual. That’s what I happen to believe about Donald Trump. Authentic and open, a stumbling block for global imperialism that was on the precipice of total domination. But when Donald Trump makes a post like he made about Rob Reiner—God bless and God rest Rob Reiner’s eternal soul—I would say that’s further evidence of Trump’s lack of filter. Trump makes mistakes. He says things that are regrettable. There’s no chance of that with your former president because I don’t suppose that an Autopen could handle making ex-posts. Frankly, I’m surprised that Biden could keep hold of that Autopen with Hunter Biden in the household. Surprised he didn’t sell it for crack or just directly use it to smoke crack. I see things differently from Ben Shapiro. I’ve got to tell you, whilst I respect him, I respect his faith and I respect that we worship and praise the same God. I recognize that. But I believe it’s important and vital to have conversations with people that oppose difficult opinions and opposing opinions. I’ve spoken to Nick Fuentes. I’ve spoken to Candace Owens. They’re Christians like you and like me. And were they not? They’re broken human beings like you, like me, like Ben Shapiro, like Tucker Carlson. No one’s better than anyone else. We’re all on our knees, shoulder to shoulder, under the blood of Christ. And what I would advocate for is supreme compassion for Erica Kirk as a human being, as a woman, as a mother that’s lost her husband, as a woman who has to have… like I left my kids to come here today, man. Like my little boy who’s two. My little boy whose carved heart led me by the hand to Christ. That little boy that I handed over to… Atheists. Hold on a minute. I can do this. Atheists. Someone here with your accent. Atheists. And people that… oh, let’s just cut this bit. It’s not being streamed live, is it? No one cares about this. Everyone’s just like, “Did you see what Ben Shapiro said about Tucker?” And then Tucker’s going to… oh my God, man. Oh, man. Well, honestly, I can’t believe that Tucker Carlson would have an interview with somebody and not grab them by the throat. Frankly, we’re children of God. No one knows anything. You’re broken. I’m broken. Ben Shapiro’s broken. We’re all wrecked and ruined. The reason I love that man, Charlie Kirk… I learned to love him more posthumously. When I met him a couple of times, I didn’t understand what he was. Frankly, he was so bloody tall. I just thought he was a kind of right-wing Rain Man. But when I told him I was reading Romans, he told me it’s the Christian Constitution. And I’ve returned to that book many times since his sad death with those words in mind. What does he want from us, our Lord? Can Jesus Christ help us to manage the complexity of a domestic culture that sometimes feels like it’s on the precipice of ruin, fragmentation, incessant conflagration? Of course he can. Can Christ resolve the complexity of the issues in the Middle East? Is it possible to love Jesus Christ, to believe that Israel has a right to a homeland, but to be deeply concerned about events in Gaza and the deaths and the power and the mismatch? I believe under Christ it is possible. Is it possible to be cynical and have doubts about the deep state? Is it possible to have questions about permanent government, global bureaucracies that seek to emulate God while telling you God’s not real? Of course, it’s possible. The old model will not work. We are waiting for a new kingdom. The systems will fail you because they are human systems. Even advanced technology will only emulate the counterfeit systems of the fallen one. Indeed, what is Lucifer but an attempt to set up your own kingdom, your own circuit, to not accept the supreme sovereignty of our Lord God? What is it? Now, I didn’t just bring this Bible for show. I’ve actually marked out passages to read you. And I’m going to do that now. Look, I’ve put little bookmarks in there. Aren’t I adorable? Now, just listen to this because I thought a lot about what I wanted to say to you today and why indeed you would listen to me because I’m a person that doesn’t like authority. I’m a person that maybe like you woke up to the depth, breadth, and insidiousness of corruption during the COVID pandemic period. I believe many of us recognized that was an attempt to subdue us, to subjugate us, to make us dependent on the state. You can have dependency only on one entity, one deity, one God. I thank the Lord, man, that even before I was saved, my rejection of worldliness as a natural rebel meant I never took that vaccine. Not once. They played it wrong for me. If they’d really wanted me to take that vaccine, a little bit of reverse psychology probably would have been the best way. The main reason I didn’t take it is ’cause they told me to. The main reason is, I already know: don’t trust the government. Don’t trust big pharma. I know that already from life. I don’t trust the people that induce an opioid crisis when they tell me that it’s necessary to take injections. I don’t trust systems that require us to be mentally sick, malnourished, dependent on bad food, and bad ideas. I don’t trust those systems. If they’d really wanted me to take those vaccines, all they had to do was hide a couple of syringes somewhere in my house and say, “Listen, there’s some syringes in here. Under no circumstances are you to touch them or take them.” I’ll be like nine booster shots in within a week. Pericarditis, myocarditis. Just hit me, baby. Hit me. Natural immunity. The divine power of the body. No. The divine power of Pfizer, the divine power of Merck, the divine power of Moderna. And I’m telling you now, I speak to you as a visitor and a guest in your magnificent country with the reminder that it was none other than Charlie Kirk that said, “Your Constitution was written,” he believes, “to be practiced by a Christian nation.” That if you don’t have Christianity as an accompaniment to the Constitution, you’ll get corruption. But don’t take my word for it. Here we go. First up, Luke 4:6. The world is run by dark, nefarious forces. You know, I’ve not been Christian very long, but what’s been so exciting about it—this is my first Christian Christmas… as I had one last year, but this year I feel it, man. I feel the Advent. I feel him. I feel the coming of the light. I know that in the dark, low places of your life, in the manger of your life, that is where the King will come. If you’re suffering now, if you’re suffering today, if you feel at a loss, if you feel broken, if you feel that all around you is Babylon—Babel—brokenness and fallen, fragmented communication, I’m here to tell you that he is coming. He is coming in your life. He is here now. We worship the living God. The gift of the Holy Spirit, the down payment is in us now. I feel it in this room. I’m not pretending. Christ is real. The Holy Spirit is real. Yield to no human power. Yield to no human power. Don’t trust them. Get used to disobeying authority. Man, even before I found the Lord or the Lord found me. Or is such subjectivity even possible in the transcendent, ahistoric, manifest world of our Holy One? Who knows? Not me. But I’ll tell you, I never like being told what to do. I’ve never trusted authority. It makes me a bad driver. I’ll tell you that. ’Cause I think, you know, like, all right, for example: stop signs or traffic lights—these are perfectly reasonable systems. In the event of an evident contra-flow of traffic, if there’s a red traffic light and there’s a car coming, he wins. I get the game. I get red, the color of blood, the color of fire. I get it. But in the event that it’s the middle of the night and there’s a red traffic light, I’m taking my freedom as an American. Because the world has been captured by evil and they’re training you to be obedient. Anarchist calisthenics. I call it anarchist calisthenics. Break rules every day just to remind yourself you can bow down to the only true authority, not to made-up phony authorities turn up here telling us what to do. Because here—this is Luke 4. Luke 4:6. The temptations of our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. This is the devil talking right now. I mean, when I read it, not me. I am saved. Although, this shirt’s pretty diabolical, baby. Hey, my wife got me this shirt. I love my wife. Oh, man. My ex-wife’s parents are here. They’re Christians and I love them. I love Mary Perry. God bless you. Thank you for bringing the message to me. I’ve got to say though, look, Katy Perry. I was married to her. I love her still, and I’m glad that her mom’s in the room hearing me say this. But look, I was okay with Orlando Bloom. But Justin Trudeau? Come on, man. Don’t put me in a category with that guy. That globalist stooge. All right. Praise Jesus. Come on, kids. God’s real, right? So listen. This is the second temptation as Luke renders it. And what does Satan, the tempter, say to our Lord? Check this stuff. “I will give you…” Oh, man. Oh, no. This is really good, actually. Check this out for a moment. Like, the Christ I love is the psychedelic Christ. The transcendent yet imminent Christ. The Christ that’s beyond reason. The Christ beyond what’s able to be known or understood. When they say you will know a peace that passeth all understanding, it doesn’t mean a really complex or a really big bit of peace. It means it’s beyond the rational mind. It’s beyond Enlightenment values. It takes humankind and puts us in our rightful place. We are subjects. We are agents. We are not the principle. We are not gods. We are not kings. As soon as people start using reason to determine morality, guess what they reason? They reason their right. That’s what they reason. A peace that passes all understanding means you will know great peace when you transcend the realm of that which can be measured. He is beyond that. And note in Luke: the devil led him up to a high place, an absolute pinnacle. And showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. In an instant, it was outside of time. It was atemporal. Of course, a battle between good and evil personified will take place outside of time. And he said to him, “I will give you authority over all the kingdoms of the world, all of their splendor. It has been given to me and I can give it to anyone I want to. If you worship me, it will be yours.” Now, our Lord Jesus doesn’t say, “You’re not in charge of the world.” That’s ridiculous. He says, “Yeah, I get it, man. We don’t…” I’m not going to paraphrase Jesus. I’m not there yet. But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.’” He recognized that the prince of this world is the fallen one. Next time you’re asking yourself, why is the world like this? Why is there so much confusion and miscommunication and doubt and war and hatred and pain and suffering? It’s because the evil one is in charge. Luke 10:18. Now, I love this because when you found the Lord and when the Lord finds you, you might get a little bit lit up. You can see it in me, can you? I’m all excited. But in the past, I had a tendency to make it about myself. You know, I used to think I was quite important. I’m not important. It’s irrelevant. It’s irrelevant. There’s nothing to attain but him, his glory, his grace. Now after our Lord has given them the commission to go out and heal, this happens. Luke 10:17. The 72 disciples—you know, ’cause it was the whole crew—returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.” Jesus replies, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you. However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” Why does our Lord mention seeing the fall of Satan in a moment of hubristic glee of the returning disciples? I’d be pretty excited if I just cast out demons. I’d be pretty excited if I conducted miraculous healing. And precisely this excitement—this personalized, egoic, to use a contemporaneous word—individualized sense of pride is what our Lord strongly counsels against. Because as an atemporal being that was there when the spirit passed over the water, the Word, the Logos, the Word made flesh was there when Satan fell. And what is Satan’s sin? He wants his own kingdom. He wants his own principality. I bid you Turning Point AmericanFest this Christmas to consider the neurological corollary, the circuitry in the synapses when you’re trapped in self. Only he can break you out of the false garden. Only he may return us to the new merged kingdom. He saw the inception of the tendency to individuate your will, to replace God’s will with your own will. And in, with a beautiful, synchronous, glorious, symphonic, and educating moment for me, it says here: please transition to questions with Joe Bob. Now, in the absence of actual Jesus Christ in the incarnate form, if you get a message saying bring Joe Bob on the stage, and you’ve just said you believe in Jesus, then you better bloody well bring Joe Bob on the stage ’cause otherwise you’re caught in self-will. Now, allow me just to say this one more thing. There are two quotes I want to give you. One is from the British writer G.K. Chesterton, who is credited with bringing C.S. Lewis—that other great British writer—to the Lord. He said, “Christianity has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried.” We have not yet tried to create the Christian nation that America may yet become. As an Englishman, as a visitor, I pray that you’re able to do it. I pray that you can build a Christian America to be a shining city on a hill, an exemplar for the rest of the world. I pray that in the name of the Son, the Father, and the Holy Spirit. And if Chesterton is too highfalutin for you, let me quote that great American, Rocky Balboa, played by the immeasurably beautiful and brilliant Sylvester Stallone, who in Rocky—no, not Ricky, for I nearly cursed it in the first time—who at the end of Rocky 4 says, “If I can change and you can change, maybe the whole world can change.” Somewhere between Chesterton and Rocky are our solutions. Thank you for having me, AmFest. And please welcome to the stage, Joe. Joe Bob Oh, no. You’re good. All right. What is going on, AmFest? Guys, Russell Brand is right here. We can do better than that. What is going on, AmFest? So, if you don’t know who I am, my name is Joe Bob. I’m a comedian. I also host the show Turning Point Tonight on Real America’s Voice. Uh, I actually got to do—I’m not sure if you know this—I got to tour the better part of the last three years with Charlie as an opening act. And a lot of people didn’t quite understand why Charlie was bringing a comedian on the road with him. But I think it’s because Charlie understood the power of humor in changing the minds, the hearts and minds of especially young people. Um, and so with that they… this is either a good or bad idea… they let me curate some questions from our students as a comedian. Russell Brand My first response to your point about humor is: C.S. Lewis says that the connection between the holy and humility is humor. We must be able to laugh. Otherwise, how—I’m English—how am I going to cope with the embarrassment of knowing… you know, I know Candace Owens. I believe her to be a good person. Erica Kirk deserves love and respect and reverence as a grieving widow and endless compassion. I know Tucker Carlson. He’s my friend. I love him. Ben Shapiro, I respect him a great deal. I don’t know him like super well. But I’m English. I could explode with embarrassment without a sense of humor just from the stuff that’s happened in this room already tonight. And what we have to find is a kind of unity not only among conservative pundits, but between Americans everywhere—Republicans and Democrats. These phony false labels, these fake taxonomies have to be put aside if you are going to save your country and the world. And one way to do that might be by laughing about it. I hope so. Otherwise, I’m out of a job. Joe Bob Well, this question is for me ’cause you had brought it up. Uh, your ex-wife is now dating a guy who should be deported, Justin Trudeau. Do you think the way that you’ve turned out, she actually might be the catalyst for people becoming super-based? You think that Katy Perry—well, she’s a— Russell Brand Firstly, I would say this. Her mother is in the room, and I’ve remained good friends with her father and Katy Perry. Yes, Mary Perry. Praise Jesus. Uh, I got nothing but good things to say about Katy Perry or indeed anybody. Justin Trudeau, on the other hand… oh man. Like, look, the biggest threat to our society are political leaders that have no authentic power, that seem to be operating on behalf of global bureaucracies, that seem to get kind of auditioned into political power. We have it in my country. We have it in France. We have it everywhere. We know these are not real political leaders and real political figures. You can see it by looking at them. They are working. They are… it’s the operatives of deeper interest, shall we say—whether that’s the WEF or the WHO or something more occult that I don’t understand. All I’ve noticed about what I will say—look, I’d like to be positive and forgiving and loving. It is a message of forgiveness and loving that I’m here to share. And I will say: he’s got a nice haircut. Black upless. Black upless. Hairdressers more. Joe Bob So, our first student-curated question, and I’m kind of hoping this doesn’t take the whole time because I do think it’s interesting. Got to talk quick. Russell Brand No, no, no. I can speak quicker than this. I’m slowing myself down. Because I do think it’s fun and interesting. Uh, Mark had asked, “Do you think Jesus had a sense of humor?” Yeah, he does. Look how he treats them idiots, like, you know, the disciples. “Oh my God, have you not understood yet? Wake up. Why are you going to sleep for? I only told you to keep watch for an hour.” “No, you can’t be foreign secretary and home secretary of heaven. It doesn’t work like that.” John and James—he’s double patient with them idiots, you know. And every single one of them become saints. That’s why I love him. He’s here now. But they were like, like— Now listen, I used to want to… like, the reason I couldn’t worship Jesus before is ’cause I wanted to be him. Now I accept the ridiculousness of that. I can’t even cope with looking after my own pets and children. But no, no, I’m still going to go for John the Baptist or St. Paul or one of the lesser disciples. Not Judas. That guy, he was out of control. Joe Bob So, obviously, you’re an artist and you’ve been in the creative world for your entire working career. Uh, conservatives have unfortunately lost a lot of ground in the creative space. Uh, this question came from Lee at Florida Gulf Coast. How do conservatives reclaim the arts—movie, TV? Uh, realistically, the question I think says: how does realism reclaim the arts? Russell Brand Well, you know, I mean, I should answer: this is Jordan Peterson. It isn’t obvious to me at all that there’s such a thing as conservative art, bucko. I would say… um… what I would say is: the values of conservatism—preservation, traditionalism, individual freedom, family—these are beautiful values. I would not myself claim to be a conservative person. I believe in freedom. I believe in your freedom. I believe in my freedom. And I believe that art rightly undertaken is a way of worshiping, revering and demonstrating God’s glory. As Eric Liddell, the Scottish runner, said: “When I run, I feel God’s joy.” Now, we should be in all of our endeavors, whatever we do, doing it with love. Not just creativity—painting pictures, singing songs, all of that. I know people that are working in sort of industries of engineering and mechanics. I’m thinking of my neighbor Chance. When he mends things, when he repairs things, there’s such reverence and love for God in the way that he works. Do everything for God. Like Brother Lawrence, the 16th-century French monk. And bearing in mind this guy’s French, so come on. I’m English so I’m allowed to dislike… and indeed do—no, I love the French. How can you dislike anyone? He says, “I flip my little omelette in the pan for you, Lord.” And he says, “I live as if only you and I were the only things in the world.” As if God and you are the only things in the world. That means every encounter you have, every conversation you have is an encounter with God. Me and Joe Bob, the Lord talking to the Lord. So conservative values are secondary to me to Christian values. And I cannot collapse my Christianity into anything other than devotion to Christ Jesus. Joe Bob This one comes from Bod at Montana State. You look lovely, by the way, and you’re doing a good job. I like your earrings. I love your haircut. And I see why Charlie liked you. You’re a good man. Lovely gnashers. Good set of teeth. Lovely railings, we’d say in the UK. Lovely set of railings. You’re gorgeous. You’re a married man. Are you? Yes, sir. Yeah. Me, too. I wasn’t coming on here. I—steady. I was going to say, I’d like to think the fact that Charlie liked me, not for my looks necessarily… may not have been the looks. Yeah, I don’t think he was tuned into that sort of thing, was he? Like what I mostly—he liked loggers. That’s what I remember when I last spoke to Charlie Kirk. A time that I now cherish. Of course, he seemed so—in his brilliant intellect—so brilliant in the Word, so compassionate in his conversations with people that were different. It is astonishing that anyone could muster up hatred for him. But this is the world that we live in now. Um, to move on. Bod from Montana State says, “Over the last year, have you seen any positive changes in Hollywood and in your profession with actors who are more open as you’ve become?” Russell Brand Mate, I’ve got to tell you: I’m not in Hollywood. I couldn’t be further from Hollywood. I’ll never be in Hollywood again. I’m not interested in the arts of deception and false illusion and false idols and celebrity. I’m not in Hollywood. I’m not judging people that are like, you know, someone like Chris Pratt who’s all magnificent and able to share the Word so beautifully. I’m just saying that for me, the experiences I’ve had… I can’t do it. I can’t be around all that because not because I think that I’m a good person, but because I know how fallen and how broken I am. I’m not good with too much stimulation, too much temptation, too much invitation into objectifying people or worshiping money. I’m too weak. I’m too vulnerable. Unless the Lord is in me, I’m in serious trouble. Hey, but I will tell you that… um… this week I’m 23 years clean and sober from drugs and alcohol, one day at a time. And when you unplug from addiction, whatever that addiction is, you have the opportunity to plug into the true source of all power. It took me 20 years. I’m a slow learner. But like, once you unplug from addiction or self-obsession—although you know I still have that a bit, of course—you are able to receive the true grace, the living water, the holy flow like golden honey pouring forth from your belly. Living springs of wonder and glory in all of us. In all of us. In you. Especially you, Joe Bob. I reckon that’s what old Charlie Kirk likes about you: the flowing golden honey from the midriff. Joe Bob I can promise you that is not the case. Russell Brand I’m speaking metaphorically, Joe Bob. Joe Bob Well, I guess to kind of follow up on that personally, what are some practical advice that you might have to somebody who is struggling—not necessarily in the realm of Hollywood—but with, you know, addiction and all of this sort of stuff that you’ve been able to overcome? Russell Brand So glad you asked me that. I know the answer to this. If you are suffering from addiction, it means that it’s some things. It is a form of false idolatry. You are blessed. If you are addicted to drugs or alcohol, you are blessed because it initiates abstinence. And once you understand abstinence—cutting off from drugs and alcohol, which is difficult and you won’t be able to do it without support: the support of other human beings and the support of initially a god of your understanding. But my prayer would be that that would ultimately become Jesus Christ. Once you begin to realize that what you’ve been doing is worshiping. It is worship. You worship yourself—like the verse I cited when Satan falls from heaven, he wants to establish his own circuit. Drugs and alcohol are an attempt to sort of foreclose against reality. It is a kind of a peculiar form of self-worship. Now, when you stop drinking and taking drugs, it is anguish. It is agony and it is despair. But in that despair and anguish, you can—as I said with the Christmas story—when you are down among the animals, when you are broken, when you are lost, that is when you will find him. That is when he will come to you. You are blessed if you have an addiction issue. You need to get the support of 12-step fellowships that are remarkable and incredible. And it’s the one thing actually, Joe Bob—even though I’ve spoken for quite a long time now—that I actually can help people with. So, if you do have addiction issues, tell me. Find me on the way out. I’ll baptize you right now on the way out of here, and I’ll help you one day at a time to find the support that you need. I can do that for you. I’ll sit somewhere. Will I? Or will I be like trying to stop Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson having a nerd fight. Now listen, I will give you such a duff. Oh my God. Honestly. Like, uh—Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua, pay-per-view. Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson. Oh man. Yeah. If you’re a drug addict or an alcoholic, I can, uh—by his grace—I can help you the way I was helped. The way I was helped. Joe Bob You know, as a guy that makes his living being able to say what he wants to say, in your opinion, what is the biggest threat to free speech right now in the talking space, but also in the entertainment and arts space? Russell Brand Well, I suppose the reason I’m grateful for Ben Shapiro this evening is because one of the great threats is that people don’t have the courage and confidence to disagree with one another openly and plainly. That is a great threat. But the single greatest threat to all of our freedom is that there is indeed a global agenda to centralize authority and control. Now, whether or not there are occultist dimensions to that is difficult to corroborate, but you can observe the trend, and the trend is to induce successive crisis to legitimize government overreach. That’s the trend. It began with the Patriot Act in your country, I think. Or at least it was exaggerated. The 2008 crash didn’t help us none. And the sad demise of the Occupy movement that could have been a kind of cross-party alliance. What I would say is the biggest threat to free speech is people using compassion to legitimize control. This is what happens when you extract Christ’s kindness from the public conversation. You somehow have to embolden some phony state to practice compassion. The government cannot be at the heart of our culture. The government are merely administrators. The church is the heart of our culture. The church is the heart of our community. So the biggest threat is globalism and a globally centralized media, which is collapsing, but there will be attempts to manage and manipulate independent media. We’re already in that phase. Joe Bob Out of curiosity, when you look at the Bible, what are you reading right now? Russell Brand Right now I’m looking at Romans, because of that time—because this is to honor Charlie Kirk this whole thing, isn’t it? That’s why we’re here. And I really want to honor him by being funny and by being silly. Um, like, ’cause when I met that time at the RNC Milwaukee—which is the time when he said Romans is the Christian Constitution—I was there with Dan Bongino. Whatever happened to that guy? I was there with Dan Bongino and Charlie Kirk and I was sort of teasing Charlie Kirk. And I couldn’t tell whether or not he knew that when I torment people, it’s my way of sort of showing love. And I was fascinated by his intelligence. And I’ve become subsequently, obviously, more fascinated by his vast abilities: his ability to render complex information, to align Christian principles with American political… I mean, what a skill set. What an unbelievable man he was. God rest his eternal soul. The reason what I’m looking at at the moment right now is this from Romans. ’Cause I was thinking, you know, you’re coming here, you’re coming to AmFest, you’re going to be talking a bunch. You’ll be putting out fires between Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens and Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson. You’ll be advocating for love everywhere you go. What have you got in Romans—what Charlie Kirk told you to look at—that’s going to be of any use? And it says this. This is Romans 13:11. Now, earlier in Romans 13, there does seem to be advocacy for human governmental authority, right? But I will remind you that Paul wrote that while in prison. So, if he was super into human governmental authority, what was he doing in jail? Just a quick, you know—just something to consider, ’cause I’ll tell you why I say that. ’Cause I don’t like the idea that we’re meant to submit to human authority unless it’s backed by the Lord. ’Cause I don’t trust human authority. I don’t trust them. I’ll never trust them. That’s part of my little message. Anyway, it says here: “And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over. The day is almost here. So, let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. Rather, clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.” I like that we must awaken now. That’s what I like. Joe Bob In kind of the brief remaining time, where do you see the culture going forward from here? Russell Brand Well, the truth is I don’t see anything because I’m very, very limited. But what I would suggest is that if we do not embrace the principles of decentralization and subsidiarity, we’re going to encounter extraordinary trouble. The trend due to technology—as Breitbart said, who’s, let’s face it, a person who understands culture, that—and as Ben Shapiro has said many times, politics is downstream of culture. But all of this phenomena are downstream of technology now. The only thing that’s upstream of any of that is our divine and holy omnipotent creator. The technology empowers and facilitates mass decentralization. A few years ago—five years ago, ten years ago—you wouldn’t have, whether you like them or not, a Nick Fuentes or a Candace Owens or a Russell Brand or a Charlie Kirk because the technology facilitated mass communication. It’s my strong belief that centralized authority—who were attempting to use this very technology for surveillance and control—didn’t anticipate the degree to which it will be used to create mass free speech and fragmenting and fracturing political movements. There was a legitimate reason when your country was established to have strong centralized government that was representative. That need becomes less and less with every passing day. The principle should be maximum individual sovereignty, maximum family sovereignty, maximum community democracy. Wherever possible, people should be in control of their own resources, their own lives under God. We should eat food that we have grown, reared, or hunted that’s near to where we live. And we should at once oppose ourselves against these centralized and centralizing industries: big food, big pharma, big agriculture. Before the advent of AI—that dark beast slouching towards Bethlehem—is used to facilitate centralization to a terrifying degree. The very technology that may enslave us could liberate us. If only, as it says in Romans, we are willing to awaken. If you, in particular, the United States of America, are willing to do the hard work of having the difficult conversations that are necessary, of affording a place at the table for your enemies, of breaking bread with people you disagree with—whether I’ve been glib and flippant about Justin Trudeau… he’s a child of God. He deserves love and he deserves respect and he deserves happiness. And I pray for that for him. I pray for it for all of you. As long as we’re picking favorites, we’re not acting like our Lord, for he has no favorites. He loves us all. We are fearfully and wonderfully made from the womb, from the moment of inception. God loves us. God loves us. We must love him as he has loved us. If that means to the point of death, then it must be to the point of death. And my admiration for Charlie Kirk—in spite of the myriad ways that I could pick out of the air to disagree with the man, God rest his eternal soul—is that I strongly believe that Charlie Kirk, had he known that doing what he did for a living and for a vocation would cost him his life and leave his beautiful wife Erica a widow, I believe he would have done it anyway. And it is that that I admire above all else. And it is that that I would seek to emulate. And all of us are capable of learning from his example and emulating him. Ladies and gentlemen, Russell Brand. Let’s hear for him. Joe Bob Oh, sweet. Thank you. Thank you. Appreciate it.
