2:18:37 Yes yes and you know the so called five eyes and you know you saw it all last week right I think you were on break. But when they were going to hear about renewing the FISA 702 bulk surveillance and then they weren't going to you know they were talking about the importance of the five I for the integrity. Of our national security et cetera right- all of the lingo that they pull out and it turns out that the interest that they're protecting. Are there are own interest. own interests in retaining power over all of us. Absolutely, and just to be clear, just to be clear, because I love the audience, I was not off last week for three days. I had to deal with the bankruptcy and them trying to shut us down and the direct deep state that's running all this. So I try to put myself in the same wheelhouse of Assange. I don't want to be in his wheelhouse. But literally, they have the Justice Department on our ass. It's insane what's going on. I have to go deal with this.
2:19:35 Almost on a daily basis and again, where's the press's instincts even if they don't like me or like Assange Why not stand up for each other? Look how far the needles move as I said when you first came on From Daniel Ellsberg with a secret documents that the Vietnam War was lost They knew it was lost, but they wanted to make money so they kept it going. That was a great service Well, Assange released a lot of similar info so for the press to not support him been bought off and are captured. I mean, look at Bezos behind the Washington Post, it's disgusting. Yes, yes, and I think they've been captured increasingly more and more over the years. Some of it potentially because Big Pharma has stepped into this cabal that is controlling the media as well. And there's a whole lot of funding that comes from Big Pharma. And of course, where does Big Pharma get the funding again through the government? So there's a lot of
2:20:28 corruption behind this. And again, for me, my eyes are being more opened all the time to this. I lived through some of this personally through Parler's deplatforming, which I am convinced now was due to similar sorts of interests at play. So I think all of us right now need to take the most principled stand that we can against these authoritarian statist interests, which right now are coming after Assange. Again, this case should have been dropped long ago. Why haven't the people who are running Biden dropped this case against Assange? Why didn't Trump? Why didn't
2:21:06 Why didn't the Trump administration drop this case against Assange? Why didn't Obama drop this case against Assange? At the same time that he can use Chelsea Manning. Trump admitted he was basically threatened over it. And again, this all started in the Netherlands or wherever it was with a broken condom. I mean, let's remember that that's how they claim this whole thing started. It's absolutely insane. Let me ask you this. What do you think happens if they get him here in the United States? I mean, he's already reportedly having serious mental issues. Year after year in solitary confinement would break the strongest person. I don't know. I mean, what you would hope is that if there were any court proceeding and he were allowed to appear and actually speak for himself, that he could explain to people the truth.
2:22:00 about what is going on, that again, this is a case of journalism versus authoritarian power. And we need to preserve the cause of the First Amendment and free speech of journalism against the powers that be. And that's an important point because Charlie Manson got interviewed in prison. It's got to be hundreds of times. I mean, I've personally seen hundreds of interviews over the last 30 years. How is Charlie Manson getting to do interviews but Tucker Carlson goes to the UK, spends a week there, is able to meet with him briefly but cannot get an interview. That right there, what changed? I think they are afraid that if Assange is allowed to speak for himself and people can actually see the principle at stake
2:22:48 that they would support him. And there are many of us who do see it anyway, even though he has not been allowed to speak for himself on camera. We need to speak on his behalf. And I think that's the best that we can do right now. Again, mainstream media, anyone out there who believes in the cause of journalism to hold a check against government power, You need to speak out for Assad. They gave up their power. They became a lapdog for corporate money and then they made themselves obsolete They could really reprove themselves. There's any any sections other than our control, but I really I'm not gonna hold my breath The new media is already bigger. We're already dominant. We have to understand the old dinosaur media isn't media anymore It's just a PR firm for the deep state, but I look at Julian Assange
2:23:42 who again is a hero. I think you can't deny that, exposing all these war crimes and what he's gone through. And I just, I've never talked to Assange. But I know this, I've been approached off record and it was an off record meeting, I don't say it. One time Henry Kissinger had the Rothkop group, had the Kissinger group, try to get me to go work for him. He said in front of my producers, I can tell a story. But I know what I've been through. They come and say, will you join us? Will you back off? Will you meet with us? In fact, we'll take care of you. And I've said no. So I know Assange, I don't know this, but I can know it. He's been approached to sell out and
2:24:21 I don't know why he hasn't talked about that or maybe he hasn't, I missed it because he's so isolated. But think about the courage, you know they've come to him and said just come out and say we're wrong, we'll let you out, but he hasn't. No, and if he did, I mean this is sounding so Orwellian to me, right? If you do that, then you have given up on principle and the consequences You just can't imagine what they're going to be. So no, I could understand if he hasn't. But I understand right now that his health is at stake and that if he was transported here to United States, his health might take a turn for the worse. He might not even make the trip. In fact, his spokesperson said that he said, if I'm taking the United States, I will die.
2:25:13 And I don't know if he thinks he's gonna be killed, Navalny style. Reportedly, the CIA had considered actually just killing him. you know, maybe they're just counting on breaking him down. But, you know, I would hope that if he were transported to the United States that he would be given a trial and the opportunity to speak and that people would wake up. But there were so many times in the past, Alex, that I thought, oh, this time people will wake up. Oh, this time people will wake up. I'm hoping next hour when you share some of the information that you've got about COVID and the vaccines and etc., that people will wake up and You know, time and again, I've been disappointed in that regard. But here, you know, a heroic man's life is at stake.
2:25:57 He's more than paid his price. He needs to be freed now and just as he would be freed now. And anybody who's been in office in the last while, the two main candidates running for election are complicit in siding with the authoritarian status over that principle of free expression. No, I totally agree, and they've convicted themselves, not him doing this. But gut level, I'm gonna tell the CIA and MI6 something right now. You guys have lost all your power, all your soft power, the world's awake to you. If you just did the right thing and let Assange out, gut level, it would then become a non-story. And I've got a sneaking suspicion he'd do a few speeches, but he'd be so happy to be out, he would fade away. But instead, they're gonna kill him. It's a very Christ-like or Martin Luther King-like deal. They're gonna bring him here, they're gonna kill him, and it'll just make him bigger. So they're turning him into Obi-Wan Kenobi.
2:26:54 I don't know if he would fade away if he were let out. I would hope that he would not, but I think that they realize that if they do let him go, then it is the triumph of this same principle over these authoritarian forces, these forces of corruption. Tucker said to Putin, And Putin is an autocrat and people lionize him too much. I'm not saying he's not being aggressed against or the West isn't a greater, greater evil. But I mean, I'm not going to sit there and lionize Putin. But Tucker said, hey, give me that Wall Street Journal reporter, show your decency, let me bring him back. And Putin said, well,
2:27:34 You know, it doesn't matter. We've already tried to be decent. It doesn't work. Putin should have released that reporter and maybe he will. But I just the system's got to start peace. They've got to start de-escalating. It's destroying the establishment and everybody else. They just they don't get soft power, which Which I've seen really study history and experience to really powerful groups know how to have soft power and back off. It's weakness that the establishment acts like this. It definitely is because basically there's two alternatives. You can deal with people through persuasion or you can deal with people through force.
2:28:14 And what they are revealing is that they do not have arguments on their side, that all they have is force. And they are applying it mercilessly in the face of true principles, principles on which our country was founded uniquely. They are relinquishing it to the extent that they do not let this man free. Well, I've learned one thing in life, the world's a two-way street. and I would not want to be the establishment right now. I don't say this to be overconfident. People have been on there 30 years for like 25 people said, man, you're so negative. I want people to know the truth. I see very positive populist signals everywhere. And I see really positive things happening. And I read some of the CFR documents and stuff comes out. Even the establishment knows they're in deep trouble.
2:29:01 And they have to know that it's like a man that is a pretty nice guy, under stress, he's got a problem, he's been married 20 years. For whatever reason, he backhands his wife and breaks her nose. Now, if he apologizes and goes to counseling, maybe she doesn't leave him, she probably still will. But when she tries to leave and get in the car, if he breaks the car window out and breaks her jaw, he's going to jail and he's losing her. And the globalists are at that point, they blacked the woman's eyes, they broke her nose, and she's trying to crawl out the front door to the car, and he's literally kicking her while she's down. That's the analogy I use. That's really where we are. We're leaving. No matter what they do, no matter how this goes, it's done. You can see it's over.
2:29:46 Yes, yes. And all you're getting if they keep using force to try to keep us down is they're giving us reinforcement. They're giving us intellectual reinforcement, moral reinforcement, even physical reinforcement, because it's making us feel right in our convictions that we need to fight this. There's nothing like convictions. All right. Well, we appreciate Amy Peskov for coming on with us. She is the chief policy officer at bitshoot.com. Great folks. People are like, oh, we don't need manned out video. We don't need bit shoot. We don't need all those other things. We've got X now. Great X is there. Don't think it'll be there forever. It's got a lot of stuff behind the scenes. We need to back bit shoot and back gab and everybody else. Amy, thank you so much and God bless you.
