And Harry and Meghan Markle have used their phony royal tour of Columbia to launch an attack on the
English working classes and Elon Musk's ex by blaming the recent discontent that led to riots after
the Southport massacre on social media fake news.
A concept you know I have already derided as lunacy.
But even more insane is that the two biggest purveyors of fake news in the world have the utter cheek to make claims like this.
Maybe your grandmother used to say it to you also.
If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
But what's happened?
The digital age has almost created a culture where if you don't have anything cruel to say,
don't say anything at all.
In my digest next, I'll say Megan should have thought of that while lashing out at the dying queen, her very ill dad, Harry's very ill dad, Catherine.
You know, you get the drift.
Also coming up today, free speech is in peril in the UK.
Indeed, Lord Frost has said that we can no longer declare Britain
a free country. Well, to react today, I am joined by a businessman and podcast superstar who remains
a bastion of free speech, regularly conducting headline grabbing and controversial interviews
with the likes of Andrew Tate, Katie Hopkins and Nigel Farage. Rob Moore of the brilliant Disruptors podcast with me
for the entire show. Plus, Douglas Murray has dropped more almighty truth bombs today. I'll
show you. Then in the uncancelled after show this Friday, royal author Robert Jobson is here to
reveal the truth about why Catherine, the Princess of Wales, fell out with Meghan Markle and what's
really going on with the Wales' marriage.
You can register to watch on our own website
at www.outspoken.live.
Most importantly, it's a safe space,
free of censorship.
That couldn't be more important at the moment.
And at just £5 a month,
your support not only gives you 30 minutes
of extra exclusive content every single weekday,
it also allows me to
continue making this independent daily news show. But now, let's go.
The absolute despicable cheek of that heartless clown Prince Harry to go on a false tour of Colombia and then try and blame
the recent unrest in the UK on social media disinformation. What the hell does he know
about the very real struggles facing the people of the UK? His subjects, who he ditched for a life of woke misery with that cretinous family destroyer. I'll tell
you what, nothing. Absolutely nothing. So to suggest for his own pathetic political purposes
that was that, you know, it was a few rogue tweets that revealed the very real discontent
the English feel about the deteriorating shape of our country is offensive
and tone deaf. But that's Harry, isn't it? Watch.
Y hace aproximadamente 10 años se podía decir que lo que estaba en el mundo digital
se quedaba ahí, pero hoy en día no es el caso. No es el caso que lo que pasa en el Sorry about the translator, but what he said there was,
what happens online in a matter of minutes hours now transfers
to the streets it worries me to see people acting on information that isn't true so this has now
become a pervasive narrative designed to dismiss the collapse of the social fabric of the UK. And as a result, Elon Musk and X have become the fall guys. But to hear a lecture
about fake news from Prince Harry is like asking Dylan Mulvaney to lecture us on what it means to
be a woman. The MSM, though, are buying into his ridiculous calls, like how he wants the public
to be able to spot fake news. Prince Harry
suggested education could help the public spot fake news. People are scared and
uncertain and I think one of the solutions to that is education and
awareness because it's becoming harder and harder to stem the
flow from the source.
And therefore, really, it comes down to all of us to be able to spot the true from the fake.
The true from the fake.
Is this guy a psychopath?
All you and your wife have done for the past four years is spread fake news.
You've also allowed the biggest gang of internet trolls in history, the Sussex Squad,
to harass and bully completely innocent folk like Catherine, the Princess of Wales,
even when she was suffering from cancer.
But of course, we're meant to believe that it's Megan who is the real victim here. Daniela Buentud y sus padres de familia.
Thank you for the question and thank you all so much for being here tonight and taking so much of your time to listen to these panels.
I hope you feel as inspired as I do and I think that leads right into your question, which is part of our goal when my husband and I founded the R12 Foundation and had our own lived
experience which a lot of you may have witnessed in terms of what online harms
can look like. We knew that in finding a solution and as my husband often refers
to the root cause that has to start with people that have a level of digital
literacy that they are living in and out every day now
whether that's by choice or because it's being pushed to them so constantly they become experts
in this field how about the online harms megan that you caused senior members of the royal family
for falsely accusing them of racism but megan sees herself as some sort of role model, of course.
Maybe your grandmother used to say it to you also.
If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
But what's happened?
The digital age has almost created a culture
where if you don't have anything cruel to say, don't say anything at all.
And that is fundamentally changing how we move through the world,
how we connect with each other.
And I think, you know, as we continue with this work,
we continue learning and investing and grant giving to young adults
who can be changemakers and are being changemakers in this space.
A lot of it also is how we as adults role model that behavior,
how we role model offline, and certainly how we role model online.
As parents, we have that responsibility.
As global citizens, we have that responsibility.
But as digital citizens, we have that responsibility
to model how we want our children to be raised
in the world in which we want them to be raised in,
which now includes the digital world.
It's not going away.
So it's how we can use what we know and continue to push the envelope
to keep all of us safer, specifically our children.
Okay, I'm going to translate that Californian woke mumbo jumbo for you.
Harry and Meghan believe in censorship.
Like to tear Keir Starmer.
Rather than allow us plebs to have an open and honest discussion.
They think that the solution is to shut us up.
To shut down debate. To pretend the issues are not happening.
Well, guess what? It's not going to work because we see through your sick agenda.
And you must be called out for it. As Lord Frost wrote today in the Daily Telegraph, we can no longer say that Britain is a free country.
Laws criminalising certain opinions are now having a chilling effect on freedom of expression in the UK.
And Starmer himself was ratioed spectacularly when he posted on X, on the anniversary of VJ Day,
we remember the sacrifices our veterans and their families made
to protect Britain and defend our freedom.
Freedom?
How dare you care?
You're an authoritarian,
locking up English folk for Facebook and X posts.
You have taken away the freedom our veterans fought for within just four weeks.
Shame on you.
Javier Millay, the freedom-fighting Argentinian president, has even called out what's happening to the UK.
I'm going to translate for you here.
Look at England.
Since the socialists came to power,
they are putting people in jail
for posting on social networks. y a calumniar sin costo alguno las redes sociales les pasan facturas y no le gustan dejen de buscar
fantasmas están recibiendo lo mismo que hicieron pero nada más que la gente lo hace orgánicamente
porque se dio cuenta que son unos delincuentes desde que los ojos and they are malay is right. The good thing is, is that I know ordinary folk are with me on this.
There has been an outpouring of outrage and upset after I told you the story yesterday of Julie Sweeney.
The 53-year-old from Kidsgrove, who lived a quiet, sheltered life in Cheshire
and is the primary caregiver to her ill husband,
is now serving 15 months behind bars after she posted an inappropriate message,
which she then tried to delete within a minute, to a community Facebook group with 5,000 members
speaking in general terms about blowing up a mosque, something she quickly apologised for.
Julie had never been in trouble with the
law during a flawless life, but the judge Stephen Everett, the recorder of Chester, chastised her
by saying you should have been looking at the news media with horror, like every right-minded
person. Instead, you chose to take part in stirring up hatred, so-called keyboard warriors, like you must learn. Well,
today, Julie's husband of 29 years, who will now not be looked after, has spoken out. Speaking to
the Daily Telegraph while breaking down in tears, he said three police cars turned up. There were
three officers. What's that about? It's too big a force for what it was.
It's just crazy.
Then speaking of his own life, he said,
It's a big loss.
She's my right arm.
It does anger you.
It's over the top.
Well over the top.
It's difficult.
It's hard to come to terms with.
She just got angry on the night because we watched the news item.
It wound her up because of what had happened to the three girls.
She's not that sort of person.
We've got a neighbor next door who is Asian and he knows Julie is not a racist.
We've got three granddaughters.
It upset her.
It wound her up.
She just literally had an emotional
breakdown. And she's now in jail for 15 months, while career criminals with more than 100
convictions get a slap on the wrist instead of jail time. Something is very wrong in the UK. I know you can see it.
And the idea that Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and two-tier Keir will change anything by cracking
down on what they decry as misinformation is as deluded as it is offensive.
But now, it's time for today's uncancelled interview.
And making his outspoken debut, I am delighted to be joined by the entrepreneur, author,
philanthropist and host of the brilliant Disruptors podcast. I have appeared on it myself and I highly recommend you go and check out that episode at some point. A free speech champion who
regularly platforms everyone from Katie Hopkins, Nigel Farage and Andrew Tate, Rob Moore. Rob,
so great to have you on the show. Dan, thanks for having me on and rob obviously as a free speech champion there's so
much to talk about at the moment but can i get your reaction first to harry and megan and
specifically the duke trying to blame what happened in southport on social media disinformation
meet tim's new oreo mocha ice caps with Oreo in every sip.
Perfect for listening to the A-side or B-side or bull-side.
Order yours on the Tim's app today
at participating restaurants in Canada for a limited time.
Yeah, I was shocked.
I mean, first off, I'm wondering why are they doing this tour?
And aren't we all aren't we
all who's funding the tour and their expensive security detail um so those things came to mind
and yeah it feels like 1984 where um a few people speaking out candidly about what's going on in the world
are being blamed for riots that have nothing to do with, in my opinion, what's being said
on social media. It has everything to do with how angry the public are and have been probably for more than five years.
And no one seems to be talking about all the things that have led to the riots.
And things were going to break in the end.
And I don't have any clue how Harry can blame a few people posting on social media?
I don't get it.
I mean, I even saw Julie Sweeney's post.
And whilst it was not a nice post, it wasn't inciting violence, in my opinion.
And it may have been in a private group, Dan, you know.
And so can we not now message our friend on WhatsApp?
Well, indeed, apparently there were 5,000 members in the group.
One of them went to the police.
The shocking thing is that Julia and her poor husband
were trying to delete the post after one minute.
As the husband said, Rob, she was having an emotional breakdown.
She'd seen what had happened to the three girls in Southport.
She had three grandchildren herself.
But she has been made an example of, let's be honest,
because we're currently seeing rapists and paedophiles walk free.
But posting on Facebook,
when you have never had any trouble with the law in the past,
can get you to go to jail for 15 months.
Why isry not speaking
out against that surely that is the sort of injustice that he should care about but actually
rob if it's a white working class person he doesn't seem to give a damn yeah it feels to me to make an example out of a few relatively innocent yes maybe um white people um to scare us
all into saying nothing and i refuse to do that dan just like you refuse to do that
um are you scared though rob because i have spoken to normal folk this week, but also high profile folk, politicians,
journalists, columnists, commentators who genuinely believe that there's a situation
where the police could come knocking on their door for posts about the news? Well, honestly, Dan, I have some fear of speaking out,
but I'm way more scared of saying nothing
and how much power and control will end up wielding over to them.
That scares me even more.
Yeah, indeed.
And of course, your podcast,
which we're going to be talking about later in the show, has always platformed some of the most controversial people in the UK. And my view
is that daylight is the best disinfectant. We've got to hear from these voices, whether you agree
with them or not. And I also mean that, by the way, when we're talking about folk from the hard
left, this is not a political thing for me. You don't see me trying to shut down Owen Jones or Navarra Media.
And when it comes to Harry and Meghan, what I really feel this is about, Rob,
is that actually what they want to do is stop criticism.
And what they do is they try and put criticism in the same category as misinformation
by calling it trolling or harm, online harms.
Whereas actually, they just don't want people sometimes spitting facts about their poor behaviour,
which we all have a right to do.
Yeah, well, didn't I watch something on Oprah with Harry and Meghan criticizing Harry openly and publicly criticizing his father, the future king, through his own father and the queen under the bus publicly in front of the world? Why is there this double standard where they seem to feel that it's because of their position they can criticise an institution, a family, a nation, but as soon as anyone says anything against them, it's, I don't know, is it racism?
Well, they often say it is.
And look, if you look at the footage that we're showing on screen now, I actually want to be really honest about this, Rob.
This is propaganda footage.
And I'm showing it to you, but I'm giving you that disclaimer.
And if you look at the mainstream media, Rob, over the past 24 hours,
from GB News to the British Bashing Corporation,
none of them have admitted that this is propaganda.
And the reason that I describe it as propaganda
is because that is footage filmed and released by their own Archwell Foundation so let's just
be honest about it Harry and Meghan don't believe in a free press they do not want people to cover
them critically they're absolutely happy if you're from Harper's Bazaar
and you're going to fawn over them and say that everything that they do is brilliant. But if
you're someone like me who's going to call them out for their hypocrisy and treatment of the royal
family and also just point out when they're telling downright lies, which happens a lot,
then you're far right and you're part of the disinformation crew and you should be banned they actually want
to silence their critics and they do not see rob that that makes them as bad as communist regimes
or dictatorships well i mean this is what the far left do that is what what they do under the guise of kindness and, you know, speaking.
What was it she said about if you haven't got anything nice to say, then don't say it.
This is what they do. You know, it's a bomb wrapped up in a bow. Yeah, I don't like it.
I think it's hypocrisy.
I will fight to the death for free speech,
even with people I disagree with.
Yes.
I disagree with much of the things that Harry and Meghan have said and done,
but I will always uphold their right to say it.
But I don't know. always uphold their right to say it.
But I don't know.
I also wonder, and this is an opinion, Dan, it's not a fact,
but I just wonder if their relevance is dying a bit.
You know, what is it?
Fear screams loudest when it's dying. And I think some of these things are very clutchy at straws
for, you know, a bit of fame and maybe a bit of money.
I think you're right.
And Rob, look, we're not body language experts, right?
But I've obviously covered this couple for a very long time and speak to very good contacts who are close to the couple.
They're not happy, actually. And if you look at Harry's face during so much of this tour, he's like a broken man.
Look at that.
At one point, Rob, he actually tried to sort of say something and Meghan cut him off and he just looks broken.
So they can go on with the farce as long as they want.
He's obviously trapped.
It's not a bad life
to be trapped in is it with two lovely kids and 16 toilets in montecito but i do think that he
feels very unfulfilled and quite a unhappy guy these days which was obviously never what he used
to be so it's very sad actually actually. Yeah, I'm no expert.
I don't know behind the scenes of their life, but he seems lost.
He seems very lost.
I don't know what the direction of his life is, what the vision of his life is.
You know, what good does he want to do in the world?
None of it.
There doesn't seem to be any direction or vision from him.
No, absolutely not.
What do you make, Rob, though, of them being paid for by a government like Colombia, which is a poor country, in order for them to be used as political pawns by a government which is actually really corrupt?
That feels concerning to me too.
Yeah, well, I've never enjoyed their hypocrisy of, you know,
their let's be inclusive, you know, let's speak about kindness
and then being paid tens or I don't know what Netflix paid them.
I don't know what Spotify paid them.
I didn't really put out any content.
So it feels disingenuous how they're not,
if they just said,
look,
we're a power couple and we're here to do business.
And this is our message.
And we want to earn loads of money.
I'd kind of respect them a bit more.
Yeah,
exactly.
Be honest about what your mission is
and what your goal is
because it's not altruistic
the only cause they seem to care about at all
is actually shutting down freedom of speech online
and shutting down a free press
which is very bizarre isn't it
that's a very bizarre cause for royals to take on
when you look at Charles, I may not
agree with him, but he clearly has environmental causes. Diana had landmines and bulimia and
homelessness and HIV AIDS. William has taken on most of those causes from his mother and gone
one step further. And of course, Catherine, we know is deeply passionate
about early childhood and the plight of young children. They're all really important causes.
This feels like a cause for the elites. It's like, let's shut down the plebs on social media.
Let's shut down the media that doesn't agree with us. It's just a very bizarre thing to decide that is going to
be your mission in life. Aligning with Steve Coogan and Hugh Grant, you know, two millionaires
who aren't happy about the fact that when they're naughty in their private life, some newspapers
wrote about it. It just feels like a pathetic waste of what was a platform, Rob, that you couldn't pay for.
They had the opportunity. They had a genuine opportunity to change the world. And instead,
they have focused on a very narrow idea of victimhood. I think it's a tragedy, actually,
but it's all their own fault. we saw it happen didn't we with the
duke of windsor and wallace simpson sometimes a royal can be corrupted by a bad woman
definitely i smell insecurity um you know i've had my fair share of online criticism. And generally, what keeps you
focused in the right direction is having a meaningful mission and a cause bigger than
yourself. And if you're just trying to shut everyone down who says something about you,
that feels like an insecure void that they're trying to fill um which they'll never be able to fill because
they'll never be able to silence everyone they could have produced the best podcast on spotify
they produced a few you know lukewarm episodes and got paid tens of millions to do it was an
outrage at you know any other company if they'd have got paid tens of millions to produce a few
episodes would have been sued um you know the netflix again they could have had an amazing netflix series you know if you look at
what um the furies you know they did a brilliant netflix series and everyone wanted more and they
had this chance um to produce amazing content and become very rich and it seems like the public's
opinion is really important to them.
And they could have shown themselves,
you know, like the Beckhams showed themselves quite well
in by being a bit more honest and a bit more real
and sharing some of your flaws.
Like, you know, when Posh Spice was pretending
not to be posh, but David called her out.
They had such the chance to be the talk of everything,
which is, it seems like what they wanted.
And just because they didn't want anyone to say anything not very nice about them, they seem to have gone so far to the left that they're quite happy for anyone to go to prison for saying something you don't agree
with you are implicit and this is a i know you said earlier dan am i scared i'm i'm more scared
of not speaking out but it's a close second scared of speaking out because you can, you know,
you can lose your whole livelihood. You can lose your whole ability to earn and not just these
famous people, you know, like Russell Brandon, people, people like that, who no one had sympathy
for, but he lost a lot of his earning capacity, but normal, ordinary people, um, normal content
creators can lose their ability to earn just like that, just for speaking an opinion.
And that is wrong.
It is. I mean, we've just shown actually on screen some of the ordinary folk, good, honest English people who have been caught up in this madness.
And because of Slippery Starmer wanting to make a political point, they have lost everything, just like you described, Rob. So David Spring, who was a retired
61-year-old former train driver from Sutton, never been in trouble with the law. He yelled out at
this protest, got a bit carried away and said to the police, who the F is Allah? And he's casted
off, arrested, locked up, jailed. Then there's Lee Joseph Dunn, the worker from Sellafield, who made some
apparently inappropriate posts. I read them. They seem to me to be political posts. A little bit
edgy, but I'm a little bit edgy sometimes. And then Lucy Connolly. She's the wife of the
conservative politician, Rob, and she remains behind bars on remand
because of her social media posts, which is an indignity usually reserved for violent criminals.
So the way that this government has cracked down so quickly on dissent, I think is truly terrifying.
I mean, it's only been five weeks.
And the thing that makes me sick rob is where are the
human rights lawyers where are the people speaking up for free speech they are nowhere
so i had a little look into try to look into the law and um it's complicated, of course, because it always is. Yes.
The police can also arrest protesters if they suspect that they have intentionally
or recklessly caused a public nuisance.
So basically, they can arrest you for anything.
That sounds to me like,
if I want to stand here and be a nuisance, then they can arrest me.
And I don't know that that to me.
Here's the irony is probably going to create more riots.
I mean, it makes me angry. I don't think it's I don't think they're going to achieve what they want, which is clearly Orwellian control.
And I think people get more and more angry. Don't think it'll stop the riots.
I think they'll get worse. I think this country is as bad as it's been since I've been alive.
I don't like it.
Yeah, I think a lot of people will agree with you.
I mean, look, I would say it stopped the riots in the short term.
And by the way, Rob, I'm really consistent on this.
I deplore all violence, especially against the police.
I always have.
But remember, I was doing it during the Black Lives Matter riots.
I was doing it during the pro-Hamas demonstrations.
I was doing it for Just Stop Oil, Insulate Britain, Extinction Rebellion.
So I am consistent in my position. My fury is that people like Starmer are not consistent at all. He was
taking the knee, wasn't he? Just days after we saw those Black Lives Matter riots. So there is
total inconsistency from folk on the left when it comes to what is apparently acceptable and it depends on what your public position is.
Yeah, and can you peacefully protest anymore, Dan?
That's my big worry.
Yeah.
Because public nuisance...
And I've been infiltrated...
Well, exactly.
And also the thing that the mainstream media never talks about,
but Andy Ngo, who I've had on the show,
really brilliant guy who exposed antifa in the us knows that actually lots of these quote unquote
because i don't even believe in the term far right riots are infiltrated by the far left and by antifa
because they want them to become violent so it it's really difficult now. It is really
difficult now. And actually later on in the show, I'm going to show you and get you to react to what
Douglas Murray thinks ordinary Brits should be doing about this. But I acknowledge that it is
hard. What's interesting to me though, Rob, from a political point of view, and obviously
you're close with Nigel Farage. You've had him on your podcast for a long time including at periods when he was
spawned by the mainstream media but he has been the political beneficiary of all of this Rob
the Labour Party have slumped six points six points in five weeks that is extraordinary
but now Reform UK, Robert,
the official opposition effectively surging five points. And of course, that comes at a time
when the mainstream media and the political elite have actually been trying to blame
Nigel Farage for the riots. So what do you make of the surge of Reform UK? Well, the irony first, Dan, is whenever anyone tried, whenever anyone, let's say
on the far left, tries to cancel someone they perceive to be on the far right, all they end up
doing is making them more popular. So, you know, I spoke to Nigel a few days ago on the phone and
he said, oh, Rob, I'm public enemy number one at the moment because they're blaming me for the riots, which is, of course, outrageous.
You can't blame Nigel Farage for the riots. You blame an angry populace, an angry Britain.
It's ridiculous that you can blame anyone for these riots. But so you know, he was a bit perturbed. But now look at his
ratings got Andrew Tate, how many times have they tried to
cancel him? You know, he's bigger than some religious
figures now. So the irony is they just make them even bigger.
Now, what's what's my take on Nigel and his rise in
popularity? Well, he's pretty much, in my opinion, the only major politician with a personality who can speak very well. And that helps. everyone being so over conservative and everyone knowing that labor were going to come in and
promise to not raise any taxes and of course all taxes were going to go up so i personally like
the fact that it's not just two parties um and no one else really getting a chance. And he's quite disruptive. And I like disruptors on my show, Dan.
I can tell.
Yeah.
Can he be prime minister?
Do you think he could be prime minister in 2029?
After all these years of brewing Coors Original,
we've learned one undeniable truth.
Any legacy is possible.
You just have to start.
Coors Original. How will you start your legacy? Celebrate is possible. You just have to start. CORE is original.
How will you start your legacy?
Celebrate responsibly.
Must be legal drinking age.
There's a lot of things that have to happen,
but, you know,
knowing him reasonably well,
I said about a year ago,
I think that,
I said before he went on in the jungle,
I said,
I think Nigel Farage will be prime minister one day
and um you know there's a major palpable unrest um you know i've said since lockdown there's a
revolution coming um and you know in in revolutions you get major change and major overhaul.
So, you know, you look at it now and you think, oh, it's possibly not likely.
A lot of things have got to move and change.
But I don't know how much more angry the public need to get before we've just had enough. And then he'll be the in some ways he could be the beneficiary because he's just the only one that's not Labour or Conservative.
I completely agree. I completely agree.
People will say I'm crazy, but I believe that by 2029,
Marine Le Pen will be the president of France
and that Nigel Farage will be the prime minister of the UK
because the way that society is going in both countries
proves that revolution now needs to be the option. I think
you're completely right to use that word. Now, thank God, Rob, our friends in America
are actually realizing what's happening with our terrible free speech issues. I find it in some ways
embarrassing that we're having to turn to American politicians and American broadcasters to speak up
for us. But that's how I feel because none of the British establishment or the British mainstream
media is. So here's Ted Cruz, the US Senator, talking about the fact that he now feels like the Magna Carta is on fire. And the question is, is this coming to America?
The United Kingdom is threatening to go after Americans, including Elon Musk, who they're targeting directly and try to prosecute them for free speech.
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz embrace the same radical views.
He's got a point doesn't he oh look um i just think thank goodness for elon musk that's all i'm gonna say yeah me too if it weren't for x then many of these very left social media channels
would have us under complete control dan i don't know if you know this,
but if I use the word labor in my Facebook lives or posts,
I can't give them any boosts or commercialize them in any way.
If you Google Donald, it comes up duck.
President Donald, it comes up President Donald duck.
And Kamala Harris comes up when you search Donald Trump on Google.
Of course, it's Elon Musk who's saying, oh, who's the main donor?
Oh, it's Alphabet who owns Alphabet. Google.
And if it wasn't for Elon Musk really resisting, you know, that it was a very bold move to, I don't know if we're watershed
here, Dan, so I'll be respectful. But what he said about Disney pulling the advertising,
you know, he was very rage against the machine. Don't bribe me. If you're going to pull your
billions, then leave. Then bye bye. Yeah. He said a few other words in more colorful terms yeah it was it was very
rock and roll and but we needed that because we need the overton window to shift because you're
right facebook because they felt like they were blamed for the election of trump in 2016 they went
so hard the other way they actually deplore people posting about news now
and if you dare to talk about anything even slightly controversial like Richard Dawkins
ridiculously banned or had his post removed uh for talking about the biology of the boxer who
won gold the male boxer who won gold in the female category at the Olympics. So Facebook, sadly,
is the home of censorship now. What I hope is that Elon Musk's bystanding firm can make YouTube
be brave, can make Google be brave, but it is worrying. And certainly there looks to be
massive interference when it comes to those search results and also the way that ai is manipulated to
make political points too rob it's well i've had many of my posts um deleted and i've actually had
my tick tock channel banned and that's just ai picking up phrases yeah you can never get top
is insane it is the home of censorship and don't you find it so ironic rob this is the chinese own app
yet they're the home of woke liberal censorship in the western world it's nuts utterly nuts i've
sort of given up on tiktok i tried a little bit but actually i posted about donald trump and the assassination and they removed it and i just thought nah i don't
know if this is the place for me yeah um dan there's a little saying which is follow the money There's some seriously big donors and advertisers and funders, funds of some of these massive media channels.
I loved social media initially because it disrupted mainstream media and it was decentralized, personalized.
You could have your own opinion.
You could build your own opinion you could build your own
little sort of media mini empire it connected people but now all that's happened is social
media has just become the new mainstream media because it's just controlled by money i mean
if you go back and look at you know know, the big funds, you know, BlackRock, for example, they own a lot of these big media platforms.
So follow the money.
Very, very good point.
Standby, Rob, because we've got two incredible things coming up. I'm going to show you Douglas Murray's advice
as to what angry British people should do in order to make change without ending up in prison.
And also, you had an incredible interview with Andrew Tate where he predicted what was going
to happen to Donald Trump. So I'm going to show you that and get your reaction, Rob.
First, though, what's so important about being independent
is that I'm only ever going to tell you about products that I use and truly believe in
because I want things that will improve your life.
So I'm delighted to talk to you about Verso.
As you know, I'm in my 40s now, really focused on staying healthy,
prioritizing my health, trying to stay fit, doing the 16-8 fast, you know, all of the things that you're meant to do.
But it will only get you so far.
Scientists like David Sinclair have proven that we can now reverse aging with interventions that go beyond healthy habits.
So I wanted a product I knew would enhance everything I was doing, but one backed up with solid evidence. Introducing CellBean by Verso. It has scientifically proven ingredients that fight the effects of aging by increasing NAD plus levels, which is the stuff
that powers every cell in your body. I've been taking this product now for a long time, right
at the start of my day. It's been transformative for me.
Fasting is way easier. My fat is down and I'm no longer as hungry. And apparently that is due to the blood sugar regulating effects in the product, which lead to fewer cravings. I'm sleeping better
too, wake up with more energy and feeling happier. This product has taken years off me. And Verso
publishes third-party testing from each batch produced to guarantee you are getting what you pay for. Now, if you head today to buy.ver.so forward
slash outspoken, you will save 15% on your first order. All you need to do is use the coupon code
outspoken. I put the link in the YouTube and Rumble description. But to repeat, that is by.ver.so forward slash outspoken.
Use the coupon code outspoken.
But now back to the show and back with Rob Moore of the Disruptors podcast.
And Rob, there has been a fascinating battle going on all week between Douglas Murray and the British establishment who want to get them locked up for actually talking the truth
about why there is such discontent in the UK. Alistair Campbell, George Galloway,
they want the police to intervene. They think Douglas Murray should be arrested.
Now, in reality, all Douglas Murray is doing is saying, I warned you of this.
I told you that there was social unrest that was going to come if you kept throwing
open the borders and allowing a different type of person, largely an Islamic type of person,
into the country in astonishing rates. So to hit back, Douglas Murray has sat down with Jordan
Peterson for a feisty interview today, and I want to show you some of it.
Rob, you can react off the bat.
The idea that people's response to any problems in their society should be to go out and commit
acts of violence is obviously insane and wrong. What we're seeing on the streets of the British
cities though raises this question, as I say, of if the public keep saying something to the politicians
and the politicians keep not just ignoring them but insulting them what are they allowed to do
these people these are populations that have have every single election like the rest of the british
people for 20 years they have voted for less
immigration and been told that they'd get it. And instead it's just gone up. They've lived
through an economy since 2008 where of the jobs created by the British, since 2008, so in the last, what we're talking, 16 years,
of the jobs created since 2008, 74% have gone to people who were not born in Britain.
So just people think about this for a second. The government refuses to do what the public keep on asking for and what the government keeps on saying it'll do.
It is seen to be, I think accurately, extremely lax on policing certain social cohesion issues.
It's extremely eager to crack down on anyone of a Tommy Robinson type.
And he's right right isn't he rob
well i think that anybody who speaks about immigration or wanting um to have
less non-british people is immediately branded a racist that's just it um and
yeah so what can you say you can't say anything because you're branded a racist
you know i come on your show we talk about it oh rob's far right he's a racist because he just
thinks that maybe it it should be at least 50 50 english people or at least or 70 30 english people
so i don't normally talk about these
matters because I'll just be branded a racist like everybody else who talks about um what we
want which is just you know more control and maybe you know people here who can bring value
but you're a racist or you're a Nazi so i don't know what to say well what's
interesting actually is jordan peterson asks douglas murray about what folk can do now given
that there has been this crackdown and as you say given that now even discussing it even having this
conversation will see you be branded far right
so watch what he had to say what is permissible in this situation to do and i would say peaceful
protesting would be one thing or speaking up or you know whatever you like to do except that every
time even there is a peaceful protest the peaceful protesters are defamed as far-right neo-Nazis. I mean,
there definitely will have been and have been in recent days some extremely ugly
people who've come out of the woodshed, who I'm sure do include. There's like one guy everyone's
obsessed with who has a swastika tattoo on his back. Is that guy representative of all the people who are angry in the wake of the
slaughter in Southport? I would have thought not. And in any other situation, every public official,
political official, opinion writer, and policeman would be very wary of trying to tar everyone with
that brush. I mean, for instance, the police and authorities, even when you have discovery of an imam in a mosque preaching violence, everyone is incredibly careful, lawyers and all the newspapers and everyone else, to make sure that it isn't implied that everyone who attends that mosque is somehow in favor of this.
In fact, woe betide you if you did do that. You have to say it's this one person
and no one else is responsible.
It's totally true, isn't it?
It's totally true.
I think he just said what I just said before.
Like, what can you do?
Yeah, far-right Nazi.
Yeah, and if you speak out,
you're far-right neo-Nazi. If you peacefully protest, you could get arrested under public nuisance. So what can you do? Well, you can't not say anything and you can't not protest because in the end it gets even more extreme and there's even less than you can say and then they'll bring in a cashless society and then they'll bring in a social credit system and then everything then
they'll obviously with you know ai and surveillance make sure that you can't go anywhere if they don't
want you to go anywhere can't cross a border can't leave your house they'll take your money off you
oh and then they'll they'll tax you 70% and 75%
and even more of what you earn and what you spend.
And it's Orwellian control from every angle,
your freedom to speak, your freedom to travel,
your freedom to spend.
I mean, I don't want to talk too much
about the C word and the L word.
I can't say those on YouTube, so I won't.
But back in 2020 in March, you basically were led to believe that you couldn't travel outside of the UK unless you stuck a needle in your arm three times and put things in your blood that you had.
There was just no time to research all that and so in in your health in
your money in your travel in your freedom in your speech you are being more and more and more and
more and more and more controlled and the only thing left are your thoughts that's the only
freedom you're ever going to have left but they they're now policing them as well, or at least the thoughts that we express.
And I think based on everything that you just said, Rob, which I totally agree with, I do think that is the agenda.
I find it terrifying. I find it chilling. But I do think that's the agenda. that is why Donald Trump was right after his assassination attempt to immediately stand up
and say fight fight fight because we're gonna have to fight aren't we Rob and unfortunately
there are going to be a lot of folk probably along the way who go to jail for expressing
views but if we don't fight if we just sit back and we accept that we're now in an authoritarian
world and a well-eaten world where we cannot express political debate on social media because
of the risk of being locked up then all of the policy prescriptions that you just outlined
including a social credit system, will be coming.
I don't have words, Dan, but I have been scared of this since lockdown and feeling like this was coming to me. There is only one of the reasons, you know, I love your work and, you know, we got
on so well. I love, as you know, I love the title O outspoken and you have the courage to talk about the things
that you know you think are important you risk getting yourself cancelled the only thing we can
do well we can all not pay our taxes because i'm not saying we should or shouldn't but if just
imagine if we all didn't pay our taxes just imagine if we all didn't put money in BlackRock or Vanguard.
Just imagine if we all didn't buy coffee at Starbucks.
Just imagine if we all, the most powerful thing we can do is stop giving money to those who are trying to silence us.
If we all stopped paying the TV licence fee, that would be a really simple thing, wouldn't it?
There's no way they can police at all.
Because actually, the mainstream media is one of the most dishonest forces in all of that.
And if we can do our bit to at least shut down the terrible government-run mainstream media in the UK, that will be a start.
But it's difficult.
It is difficult to know what to do.
But I think we do have to fight and certainly from my perspective and you know rob we speak about it in detail in the episode
of disruptors that i appeared on which was really one of my first time talking about this but because
i have been cancelled because they did everything possible to shut me down, Rob, and you know what they did, and it was so dishonest. Actually,
I feel really free now because what more do I have to lose? When they've taken everything away
from someone, actually, you realize that it's more important to speak up because they've done
their worst. And actually, that leads on very nicely to two of your most popular and controversial
and regular guests who appear frequently on Disruptors.
The first being Katie Hopkins, who now is very open about the fact
that she feels like she is a non-citizen.
She doesn't own anything.
She doesn't have a bank account.
You've developed a close relationship with her over the years.
And this is part of what she had to say to you.
Migrants crossing the Med likened them to cockroaches.
I said that and I stand by it.
They're going to come for your home with lawfare.
They're going to come for your head.
Couple of jihadis are going to come for you.
They're going to come for you because I don't think I've got anything to hide.
Just unapologetically me.
Now, you've got to know her really well.
Rob, what's the real Katie Hopkins like?
Well, like Andrew, a lot of the things she says are with a comedic tone.
Yes.
And they get taken very literally. I mean, Katie now
does stand up. She's hilarious. Yeah, she she's very, she's got
a great following. And surely comedy was always the place
where you could be a bit political and that would be
okay. Surely there has to be somewhere where we can be a bit political
and not get judged and it'd be OK.
And comedy seemed to be the safe space.
And of course, now it's not at all,
unless you're huge like Ricky Gervais, for example.
So a lot of it is humour.
I mean, I think she did say some quite extreme things
and she has lost everything and paid the price.
But I believe that she speaks with integrity to what she believes and she's made a great personal sacrifice to do that.
And I admire someone with that integrity to speak what you believe to be true, even if you're going to lose your home, which she lost,
even if you're going to put your children in danger, which she did.
And in a way, Dan, Katie was a little bit early
in the sense that she'd probably be,
she probably would have maybe lost less
or probably would have taken less personal sacrifice if she was,
you know, a few years later, although you could say Andrew Tate,
you know, he went for everything with him.
They did. And Andrew Tate, again, he's someone I've interviewed. I got a lot of criticism for
having him on my former GB News show. You have interviewed him many times. You've travelled to speak with him.
Firstly, why did you decide to have Andrew Tate on your show? What is it about him that interests
you? Well, I just want to say one thing, Dan, because we need to make this clear. Anyone who,
you know, has a platform who strongly, strongly disagrees with Andrew Tate or Katie
Hopkins, I'd happily have on my show. Yeah. The thing is that they just distance themselves
from you. I would give them the platform. So people say to me, oh, I'm platforming
Andrew Tate, Katie Hopkins, as if they need me anyway, they can platform themselves.
I mean,
that's a bit ironic.
I'm not platforming them.
I'm having open debate and I do challenge them.
If you watch my shows down,
I don't give them an easy ride.
I challenge them,
but I would quite happily do someone who's got something, you know,
important to say,
you know,
on let's say the far left,
but they don't want to go near it because they,
they kind of, I don't think they want to be exposed.
So you'd interview Owen Jones,
you'd interview Jeremy Corbyn, for example?
Yeah, yeah, absolutely I would.
Yeah, I'd love, yeah.
Now Andrew Tate predicted, didn't he,
or came very close to predicting
the Trump assassination attempt in a recent interview
with you. I'll show you what he had to say and get you to react off the bat.
I'd rather be insane. And the degree of...
I'm thinking because this is the stuff that's going to get me assassinated. So let me there's no way Donald Trump can't win unless something happens and
if something happens we're going to see not only a breakdown in faith of the systems but you're
also going to see a whole huge degree of cope from the people who you'd think would be up in arms about it. And over the weeks and months post his loss,
they're just going to talk big and do nothing.
And it's going to be a bunch of coke.
And they're going to end up adhering
to the matrix and the money.
And when they get the phone calls,
they're going to get scared and it's all going to fall apart.
And I think that Western civilization as a whole
will genuinely collapse if Donald Trump.
So when was that interview, Rob?
Oh, it was this year.
So it was...
And you travelled to Dubai?
Did you? Is that where it was done?
No, this one was in Romania.
So I went to where he lives.
Yeah. And do you feel like he was predicting the Trump assassination attempt there?
Well, he he said it without saying it, didn't he?
I mean, on my first episode with him, which was in Dubai, you know, he says when you become too powerful, there are three stages.
They cancel you, silence you become too powerful, there are three stages.
They cancel you, silence you. That doesn't work. They imprison you.
That doesn't work. They assassinate you. And he went, he talked through those three stages and he had just been cancelled.
And what? Four weeks after my interview with him he got imprisoned and yeah so um i i it looks like he predicted the assassination attempt but like i said with these um attempts at cancelling or even
assassinating people it just makes them even bigger um so you think he genuinely fears for his own safety though he believes
that i'm speaking about andrew tate here not donald trump andrew believes that he's
a target for assassination now um this is quite nuanced dan because um and Andrew seems to not stop speaking out and putting himself at risk.
So I know personally that he does fear for being assassinated, but he won't stop speaking out and speaking up so does he really fear it because he
keeps speaking out and tell me what he's like you've spent time with him is what you see on
camera the same thing off camera is there a more vulnerable side to him so the reason i chose
to interview him once twice and um you know pursue other interests is because um i i think he speaks
with conviction and i think he says things that a lot of people are scared to say and he says it because if you speak to nearly
anyone even people who don't like him or feel he's a misogynist for example they still everyone says
but he does say some things that i really agree with even if he says it in a way i don't agree
with so that was the reason i chose to interview him um what's he like? He's very polite and respectful. I think he thinks that, you know,
life is war and meant to be hard for men and it's meant to be easier for women. And, you know,
he's got the more traditional values of a relationship with a man and a woman. I'm not a woman, so I don't have the potential issue with his misogyny,
but he's only ever been polite, respectful and generous with me in my dealings with him.
And off camera, he has less bravado. As soon as the camera comes on,
he comes to life and the chest comes out.
But I would say what he says,
his words, his values,
I would say they're the same
or seem to be the same off camera as on camera.
So it doesn't seem to be the,
a different person on camera to off just maybe more characterized
yeah i've only interviewed him once and met him in person once but that was my experience too
but i have always found him to be incredibly polite incredibly respectful very engaged and
i do feel like he's been set up rob do you
you're asking me the tough ones uh
yes um the re there's lots of things he said about the Matrix, which may sound quite extreme, and I'm not sure it's as organized.
However, because he was canceled by pretty much every bank and pretty much every social media channel just before midnight on New Year's Eve, that to me confirmed,
when you take all the other evidence,
that that was a concerted attack across banks and media.
And there were some very powerful forces
that combined to shut him down.
If it had just been YouTube or just been TikTok,
you might have looked at some
of the things he said in isolation and say, well, that's against their terms. And, you know, he has
said some edgy things, Dan, and maybe some of his posts should have been taken down or maybe he
should have even been shut down from some channels. But all the banks, all the media, 11 55 on new year's eve i mean that that's to me too suspicious when they come for you they
come for you and i've only had a tiny experience of it compared to andrew tate but i definitely
think the establishment know how to shut down voices that they disagree with. But Rob, that is why I love your podcast, Disruptors.
The link is in our podcast,
sorry, is in our YouTube description.
So I really recommend everyone follows it.
I've got my episode pinned on my YouTube homepage as well.
And it was such a brilliant, fascinating conversation.
And I'm so delighted to have you on Outspoken. Please come was such a brilliant, fascinating conversation. And I'm so
delighted to have you on Outspoken. Please come back soon. Thank you, Dan. Rob Moore, have an
amazing weekend. And you know, given everything that we've been talking about, very important to
me that we have a safe space not patrolled by big tech. And I think Rob explained perfectly why that
is so important in this current day and age. Censorship and control
does run deep on big tech. So that's why I've launched www.outspoken.live. It's our membership
section where you get half an hour of extra content completely uncensored every single day.
So what we do at this stage is we come off YouTube, we come off Rumble, we move to our
own platform to continue with the uncancelled after show. All you have to do is sign up at www.outspoken.live.
A fascinating conversation ahead today with Robert Jobson. He is the acclaimed royal author,
currently the number one best-selling author in the country, according to the Sunday
Times, with his biography of Catherine, the Princess of Wales. He's going to reveal today
why Catherine and Meghan really fell out. And also, what's the truth about the rumours to do
with Catherine and William's relationship too? It's a really fascinating conversation. Please do sign
up at www.outspoken.live to watch it. You just have to register. And as I say, then it's £5 a
month. And that allows me to keep doing this, which I think right now is incredibly important.
So I so appreciate your support. Please do hit subscribe too. If you're watching on YouTube or Rumble,
turn on the notifications as well
because that means you'll be alerted
every time we are back with a live episode.
So I will be with you 5 p.m. Monday.
That's UK time, midday Eastern time, 9 a.m. Pacific.
Most importantly, I promise to keep fighting for you.
But I hope to see you on the after show
with Robert Jobson.
Have a great weekend.
