Summary

In today's show, I look at three pressure points converging at once: a renewed push to revive pandemic-era controls as masks, mandates, and unanswered conflicts of interest re-enter the public conversation; a growing confrontation between Elon Musk and European authorities over censorship, fines, and who gets to decide what speech is permissible online; and mounting questions around Ukraine, as corruption allegations, financial accountability, and Western political narratives collide around Zelensky's leadership. Taken together, these stories reveal a wider pattern of institutional power being reasserted — through public health, digital regulation, and foreign war — and raise uncomfortable questions about trust, transparency, and who ultimately pays the price.

ENTER THE REBORN GIVEAWAY — I've partnered with Reborn for a massive giveaway where you can win a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 plus $10,000 cash. I actually use several of their products myself — the Methylene Blue Tincture, Methylene Blue Capsules, Bovine Colostrum, and Creatine Powder — and all of those count as bonus-entry items if you grab them through the giveaway page.

0:00.0	Ladies and gentlemen, Russell Brand, actually,
0:11.5	Rutherstall.
0:12.9	RANCHORAN TRANN.
0:14.3	Trying to bring real journalism to the American people.
0:18.9	Hello there, you're awakening wonders.
0:20.3	Thanks for joining me for Stay Free with Russell Brown. If you ain't got Rumbled Premium yet, get Rumbled Premium. Now you get additional content from me and it's a great show today. We're talking about the new pandemic in the UK, the flu one. They're forgetting, though, that they've already used this lie really recently of COVID and masks and in their reporting state-funded media like the BBC are tripping over their
0:39.2	own feet in error. And we remind you, too, what happened in 2020 when they actually canceled
0:45.0	Christmas. Looking back, just with a half a decade of hindsight, the whole thing looks absurd.
0:50.4	It's a real joy. We're talking, too, about the Ukraine and Zelensky and the way that people are beginning to recognize now that Ukraine was always a pretty corrupt country. That's not a unique attack on Ukraine, certainly not on Ukrainian people, but it's just the government of a country is not the same as the people of a country. Whether you're talking about Israel or the United Kingdom or the United States of America. Generally speaking, governments are aligned with
1:12.7	an amesh in sets of globalist interests and maybe things that are even darker than that.
1:17.4	And the people are human beings and children of God and one world family and Lord, I pray
1:21.7	that one day we're able to return this. We've got Zelenskyy, we've got COVID and also the EU versus X. What a battle that's shaping up to be. All of these are deep dive episodes. Let's know what you think in the comment and chat. Sorry, I keep spitting. I'm so excited about this thing. I think it's to do with this shirt also. What do you think? Let me know in the comments and chat. This stuff's pretty delicious. Give it a go, baby. Ah!

2:01.2	Every dollar you spend gets you entered into a priest draw to win this beautiful but dangerous Jeep and so here without any
2:06.6	further ado here's the first of today's stories stay with us when is the flu not the
2:13.6	flu when we need to control you super flu flu is back. Get in your house.
2:20.5	Here's the mainstream media telling you to stop the spread.
2:23.4	It's a bit of a throwback, isn't it? We were used to wearing these a few years ago. Now,
2:26.2	this is the precaution being taken. Also, people are being told to make sure their hands are
