Alistair, thank you so much for your time today. (Alistair Williams) Anytime. Anytime. Good afternoon. Great to have you on. Obviously, people can follow you @awilliamscomedy, which is your Twitter or X handle. And, of course, on Rumble, it's just Alistair Williams. And on it, you talk about, I think, your two phrases, more or less, on your Twitter is, Real comedian. Soldier of God and I want to delve into both of those which are separate, but you do mix them like asking whether God wants to cut down ULEZ cameras or remember on comedy only, so you do mix them up the times, but you're some of the some of the the comments I've seen about you online Alistair Williams is quickly making a name for himself with razor sharp content and high what charm unafraid of tackling rough subject matter. He's a passionate health campaigner combining raw personal antidotes on a jam-packed gag count and slick extroverted style. Another one says he is smart, passionate, impressively quick-witted and bursting with infectious confidence. So there you go. They're just some of the... Things I wrote about myself off the internet. That was off your Twitter page, so I didn't want to say that. Alistair, before we get on to kind of your life in comedy and what that means for you maybe you could just take a moment to introduce yourself especially to our kind of half U.S audience who may not have come across you, so maybe just introduce yourself give us a bit of your background story. Sweet okay, well I'm a stand-up comedian. I would say I'm one of, if not the most censored stand-up comedian in the world. I had a YouTube channel that was pretty popular that got cancelled. Most of the comedy clubs in UK, the major ones sort of stopped booking me at the same time after I had this really viral piece piece of comedy go viral about Brexit at the time and the whole internet started sharing. Just at that time, the exact same time the comedy industry decided I did, or this guy has to never be seen again. You know, I used to have like an agent I used to, I was on the TV, but, I quickly figured out after my first TV experience that it doesn't really matter how funny you are, unless you are willing to be malleable, unless you are willing to change what you're saying to fit in with the narrative of what the television says. Like you're never going to be, a stand-up comedian, basically comedies, pretty much one of, if not the most controlled medium there is. And people were surprised about that. There was, I thought you guys would be the main guys who would be allowed to say whatever they want. It's like, yeah, that's why we're the most policed. Because, yeah, we would be the guys to say, you know, or during the pandemic, for example, if something was ridiculous and, hey, this is crazy and stupid and laughable, like we should be the people pointing it out. But where were those famous comedians during the pandemic? They were out there saying, if you haven't got vaccinated, punch yourself in the face, you know, or the famous musicians, the rock and roll guys, you know, where were they during the pandemic? You know, the stick it to the man. They were like, get vaccinated. You can't come to the show. Like, you know so very quickly sort of opened my eyes. Oh okay. Being famous, I'm such an idiot I'm so naïve I actually thought like being famous was about like being talented or being good at stuff. But very quickly I figured out; oh that has got absolutely nothing to do it's got nothing literally nothing to do with it, you know. So, my one and only T.V recording like most of the comedians on there were bombing like they were getting like no laughs they were dying on their ass out there. And then when I watched the TV recording back, they were just cutting in laughs and images of everyone next to all this awful stuff that died on its ass in the room. When was that Comedy Central piece you did? How far back was that? That was; weesh, maybe I want to say like 2017 or somewhere around there, somewhere around there, but I remember at the time the people that were managing me were trying to get me to change and say this and not say that and and I refused basically. I thought if I'm funny I'm just gonna make it, and that, that is not the case. So, they actually, if you find the clip, they actually put another comedian's name on my clip. That's how much they don't want people to know who I am. They put my piece of comedy out there on the internet. And then another comedian's name comes up after it. Because, I remember thinking this comedy is good. People are going to want to find me after this. And they were like, oh yeah, we thought of that. Don't worry. So yeah, you know, and you never saw me on television again. And at the television recording, like literally I smoked that recording. Like it was it was clear like: whoa this guy's really funny you never saw me on TV again, because it's not it's not about that. It's not about it certainly isn't about being funny, hasn't been for a long time. Well back, it was your, was it the Edinburgh festival 2016 then which is just obviously before that comedy central and you read that was your first debut solo show. I mean, maybe what led what led up to that, because people have really no idea what happens in the comedy circuit behind the scenes, it is quite cutthroat. I assume just like probably music a very cutthroat, but what led you to to getting that gig at the Edinburgh festival and then what followed on from there? Well, it's a good question and this is how they control comedy in this country right. They say: if you want to be a famous comedian. If you want to be good you want to be professional. You have to go to the Edinburgh comedy festival. Okay, because they tell you this is the only place comedy industry ever go; it's like one week a year or sorry one month a year in August. I was like, aren't they going to be in the comedy clubs like watching me do really well? They're: oh no no they're never going to see that. That's ridiculous, I'm like what do they do the rest of the year apart from August? Anyway, they say: you've got to go to Edinburgh, right, and that's where the tv people might see you and you have to get a good review, okay. Then people that write for the newspapers have to like you and this is how they control it, so all the comedians go to Edinburgh and if you're on narrative, if you're like a rabid left wing. You know, the time when I was coming up, it was like, men are toxic. You know, if you did a show about, you know, men being rapists or whatever, it didn't have to have any jokes in it. You know, the, the lady that won one jokes in an hour, all the guardian journalists and stuff were like: Oh, this is incredible. It's a future in the comedy. You know, this is amazing. And your agent or manager at the time would tell you to go to Edinburgh and you had to do an hour and they would tell you, you know, what's the worst thing that ever happened to you. What's the most traumatic thing like, you know, oh your mom died, I said right that's that's your hour, you know, and they turn comedy into like this half drama, half emotion. They just sort of get the spine and rip it out of there and you know mix it with acting and they just decimate the up comedy industry from Edinburgh, because they pull everyone into Edinburgh and they get all the journalists to review the show. And if it's anything, you know, right wing or off narrative they either don't come to review it or if they do they give it two stars, and you know, that so they can control it by this small group of journalists who control who gets to be you know a stand-up comedian in the united kingdom. It certainly doesn't work. I used to think well if everyone's laughing in the crowd, I'm you know, I'm gonna make it. And the more I focused on that the more I realized; hey these people in Edinburgh they literally they hate me. These journalists and stuff they hate me, because I'm not on their narrative and I quickly realized oh they're using comedy to control the way people think. But, before I was even a Christian, I never wanted to compromise on what I thought, because at the time it was all feminism and racism and stuff. And basically what I figured out they were doing, it's like, you're getting men to hate women. You're getting women to hate men. You're getting black people to hate white people. You're getting white people to hate black people. And I never wanted to contribute to that. Instead, I wanted to try and bring both both sides together, always. And that just, you know, made me so unpopular with the comedy industry, essentially. They were always telling me to change the way I think, because the way I think was wrong. You know, and when I wouldn't change, they just sort of kicked me out of the comedy industry. And, you know, they made it very clear that, you know, you're never going to get anywhere going it this way. So then I filmed my own stuff, put it out myself, made it go viral myself. And that's when they were like, okay, now you can't do comedy. But now we're going to stop you just getting anywhere near the microphone. If you're going to record it yourself and put it out now, you're not allowed, you're not allowed to work anymore. So, then I started live streaming and doing YouTube videos for a couple of years. Built myself up a big YouTube channel. Then they're like, right: you're not allowed to do YouTube either. It's like, okay, you guys really, really are a bunch of losers. You know what I mean? Like they can win. When did you get taken off YouTube? What was it for? They never tell you what it's for. Never ever tell you what it's for. But what happened was they gave me two strikes for, you know, nonsense. I think one of them was like cyber bullying or something. I think i'm out there cyber bullying, something ridiculous, so at that point I would just read the Bible on my live stream every Sunday. So, it's kind of like; okay so you've got to give me one more strike here, I'm just going to read the Bible. It's like your move you want to strike me for reading the bible, you know, that'll be why people are like why did you get kicked off YouTube? I'm like well I was reading the bible they kicked me off, because no one believes that. Everyone's like no it can't have been, that it's like that bro that's all I was doing on two strikes. You know and I would just do that every week and that's turned into one of my favourite things that I do now. Church on Sunday live stream every week. And it's and it was sort of born out of that, so yeah. You tube's the same. I mean you're fully aware. Your audience is probably fully aware that you know they used to control everything on television and then we were like; oh we're on YouTube we're free. Now, they just control everything on YouTube, you know. Like everything out there is is controlled pretty much even the alternatives to YouTube, you know, it's very difficult if you want to give people something new to think about to get it out there. I know, it is and I want to delve into that Christian aspect, because I remember having James Delingpole on talking about; I mean he does regularly does a video on the Psalms going through it. You do that Sunday evening just reading through scripture and it's something which stands out as something quite different. I think the only other person I've seen doing it regularly is is dry Sherry Tenpenny and actually fitting that into not a separate thing not this is my Christian persona, but hey, here's my comedy or here's my journalism or here's my activism But actually, putting that all together is intriguing. I think, quite different, but I want to delve into that. But I want to ask you more about, just being a comedian, doing the live shows, it must be... It looks bloody difficult and nerve-wracking. I mean you're there, you present yourself, you put yourself out there on a live thing in front of the audience. If they don't find your set funny that's going to be a very long set for you that's going to last for eternity. Tell me about that, because you're really you're putting yourself out there to be ridiculed and mocked if not then if not laughed at you're going to be ridiculed. That's the easiest part of the job. Me, I don't ever worry about that. You know, I tell people that's the easy bit. The hard bit is if you make room for people to laugh, it's surviving the attacks that are going to come to knock you out if you're, you know, trying to tell people the truth in today's day and age, which is what comedy is. Good comedy is true. It always is. People, oh, that's so true, especially if you're coming up with some observation that was right in front of them and they didn't see it before. Oh, that's so true. Isn't that true? Everyone's laughing because they're like, oh, what he's saying is true, and we never realized it. That's what comedy is. That's what good comedy is. And if you're actually out there, so much of what people have in front of them now is deception, right? And if you're actually out there trying to, you know, open people's eyes and show people how they're lying to you about this and they're lying to you about that, you know, you're going to have, I have so much trouble off, off the mic, on the mic. And it's actually made me better if anything, because I very quickly realized it doesn't matter how much I make these people laugh, you know. They're never going to let me do this properly. They're never going to give me a Netflix special. They're never going to do it. So, it doesn't matter. So, I go on there just like, hey, you know, I literally don't care. I literally don't care. It's like even like the comedy clubs, I quickly realized it doesn't matter how good I do. You know, some of the comedy clubs where I used to do my best work, they just never had me back one day. You know, they just didn't want me back. And I never upset a single audience member. You know, I never did anything. It was right after the Brexit booking thing. That obviously, there is a single entity somewhere that controls the whole of the entertainment industry. And you could tell that during the COVID pandemic. Where was the one person who was famous, who had a slightly different point of view to what the whole world was told was the case? There wasn't one. And if there was one, Matt Le Tissier is a good example. They're straight out of there, and all of a sudden it's a, this guy's a nutcase and he's now a maniac. And, you know, there's, and that shows you how controlled this whole thing is. Music, film, comedy, anything like anyone who is not saying what they want. You just, you'll never hear of them. You'll never hear of them. Like there's probably a couple of exceptions, but I can't think of any during the pandemic who put their neck on the line and said, I disagree with what's being done here. No, but I think people are quick to rewrite history as well, because now you've got many people who say, I was always against the woke agenda. I was always against the COVID tyranny. And you're kind of thinking, well, you've come at the 11th hour. I'm really happy you've woken up. This is great. But I didn't realize you were there in the trenches with us back in the first couple of months. Have you seen that same thing in comedy? I mean, in comedy, I mean, there was probably a few more people in comedy is with my circle that were like, Hey, wait a minute, something's up with this, you know, Tanya Edwards, Abi Roberts. There's more, you know, there was probably a few more in comedy, which I would expect. Cause it's like, hey, you guys are supposed to be. You're observant for a living. You know what I mean? You're pointing out absurdity for a living. It's like, come on, it must be a few more of you, who are, like wait a second this is nonsense. So, I think there was more there was more in comedy than than anywhere else, but it's still very rare for someone to, because they just take everything away from you, you know, in in any walk of life; whether you're a doctor or a policeman or whether you're in the army or the navy or whatever, you know. Like I heard this chap who's you know a fighter pilot guy on The Delingpod and he started saying. You know, basically, hey, wait a minute. We're not really hiring people on, you know, how good they are at flying planes. We're just trying to get black lesbians in here. It's like, you're out. You know, someone who has a genuine concern for like, wait a second, the security of the country might be at risk here. It's like, right, get him out of there. You know, and it's not just, that's what I'm saying. There's one entity that controls it all because the same thing is happening across every single industry. It can't be possible that the same guy that runs comedy runs the RAF, can it? You know what I mean? Why are the same things happening everywhere? Especially as most people that you meet on the street, they don't agree with any of this crap. It's not like everyone's like, oh, yeah, I totally agree with that. You've struggled to find one maniac that agrees with 90% of the stuff that's being done, but yet it's all still being done. People are too cowardly to say, I disagree with that, because they know what happens if they do disagree with that. Thankfully, being a man of faith, I know that everything I have comes from God's hand and I don't need to worry about what the world wants to scare me we might take away your income or do this. It's like God gives me that, everything I need comes from him. So, you know there's nothing you can do to me that he won't allow, so I'm actually just going to do whatever what he wants me to do and, you know, that's why I think you see a lot of people of faith who don't go along with this stuff, because it's it's actually a bit of a paper tiger if you like you know these people. They're not really as in charge of the world as they pretend hand that they are. Well, how's that fit? I want to keep until later, but let me just touch on that point, because one of the pastors I really like in the UK, one of his favourite verses is from John, where you seek men who seek the praise of other men, seeking the praise of God. And everyone wants that public adoration and seems to, as even many Christians seem to forget, that actually you should be looking to God for that praise or that viewpoint, that value. How does that affect you as, again, someone who is out there, who's putting themselves out? And most comedians, I guess, they live or die on those laughs of an audience or those clicks. But there's a Christian you're enjoying this, but that's not where your value lies. No, but I've everyone's been given certain talents by god and god is expecting a return on these talents. I know the talents that god's given me i know which area they're in. I know what he made me to do and he is expecting a return on this investment. And one day I will stand before him and all the other work I've done will be burned up apart from the stuff that I did for Jesus. So, this is one of the reasons I'm so keen on keeping church on Sunday going. You know what I mean? I'm keen to use whatever talents I have to let people know about him, basically. And that's what keeps me going. Because I've realized it doesn't matter how funny I am or how good I am at this. They're never going to let me have a career. That's quite freeing in a way, more than anything else. It's like, well, then I don't have to worry about it. I've already burned all those bridges there. You know what I mean? Like not that they were ever going to let me over those bridges, but you know really sort of on my Brexit Burger King video; I really, I sort of little put little subtitles on there that was like oh the crowd's actually laughing this guy's never going to work at the BBC. So, I really did sort of just be like, you know, in a slightly sort of childish way I'd give them a bit of a up yours, as you know what I mean? But that's something that I feel quite strongly about, is like that I feel like they're deliberately ruining comedy. They're deliberately ruining film. They're deliberately ruining music. And as someone that believes in God and knows how much God wants joy to be in the world, one of the first things I experienced when I started being a comedian was I was just trying to make people happy. Literally, that was it. I was just trying to bring people joy. And man, they were after me so bad. And I was like, wait a minute, I'm literally just trying to spread joy. And I realized how much the world, hates people that are just out there spreading joy. And that was one of the first things that made me realize, hang on, there's something, something up with this world here. This is before I even believe in God. It was like some weirds going on. Cause I'm just trying to do a nice thing here. And I'm getting, getting so attacked for this, that there's some evil out here that I haven't really wrapped my head around yet. And then it was a sort of snowball effect from there. I want to go back and ask you about that. Burger King skit. And kind of most of public I will think, you know, if you can put forward a good position it's like being part of a debate society. Maybe in journalism, if you can put forward a rational argument then, you win the day. We find that not to be the case, but you think then comedy, if you can put forward a position and make it comical make, it humorous, then you should you should really win, because people will laugh and you can put forward any position, whatever it is, as long as you can get people to laugh and you kind of think: well Brexit that skit. There's no way you can say: oh you're racist for that you're xenophobic for that, you hate this, you hate that. Actually, it's funny and you're making a point, but that wasn't good enough, I mean tell us about that and why simply putting forward a position no matter what people think. Even if it's funny it doesn't necessarily hit the mark and doesn't accept it. Well, the funny thing about that is it's like, people watch that and they go, but you're not even really picking a side here. You're just, you know, people that voted remain laughed and people who voted to leave for it was funny. And that's sort of what I was told in the beginning. I'm always looking for just down. How can I get everyone in this room? How can I get two people that should hate each other based on this? And it's all cooked up, dude. It's all, oh, I'm a remainer. I'm a leaver, dude. They come up with these things to make you hate each other. I'm pro-vaccine, I'm anti-vaccine, we hate each other. It's like, I'm white, I'm black, we hate each other. It's like, they will give you a million things. You know, Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Palestine, just go on and on and on. It's the oldest trick in the book, you know, divide and conquer. So, I was like, let me see if I can come up with something that's going to get the whole room okay. But the reason it wasn't allowed is because it wasn't on the narrative. It wasn't, if you voted to leave, you hate black people. You know that was and that's what every comedian was doing at the time. On the BBC ad nauseum, you know, just terrible comedy like that, and it's like if comedy, and the reason why I got in so much trouble Brexit isn't working is exposed the whole industry as being a fraud. You know, it's like you're all you're doing is comedy on Brexit all the time and everyone hates it it's dead. And then I come along explode a room with Brexit which every comedian there's just mind to death and everyone hates it. And boom I blow it up. I should have been everywhere. They should have been like, oh get him on the BBC get him here this guy can make Brexit funny. No you never saw me again. They were like bury this guy. He's doing comedy properly, because if you put someone like me out there that's doing it properly it makes it even more obvious that the rest of them are just, you know, there's: oh here's another joke about how people are racist. It's like oh dude everyone hates this is stop, stop, please stop, you know, throw bread rolls at them now they do, stop, you know. So it's really... They can't let me anywhere near being a widely known comedian now, because it just, it really does expose how fake the industry is. Because if you're, if you're really out there looking for funny comedians and you know, you watch that and that's, that's the reason why I lost my career. That, that joke, it's not even someone who's offended. I'm pretty special in that I'm cancelled and you can't even, they can't even get me on: well you said this and that was wrong ,you know what mean? They can't even get me on that, so they just sort of silently cancel you they just remove all your live work slowly and cancel your YouTube channel and when they really want to cancel you you just, bro, you just fade away, and silently. They don't, you're like Andrew Tate where it's like: "I'm cancelled, and he's everywhere. You know what I mean? It's like I'm cancelled I'm going live on Piers Morgan to talk about it. Dude, if the establishment hated you you would not be on Piers Morgan, you're mad. Like the whole; oh Piers Morgan uncensored. Bro who is censoring you? You spend your whole career on like CNN and stuff. If there's anyone who's more of an establishment toady, it's you. You know the whole thing of like, oh we're cancelled but everyone knows our name. It's like that's not the thing. The real cancel people, you never heard of them, that's how it really works. But I know of the two very high profile comedians that always tell us how they're against the system in every way. I look at two Netflix specials. And I wonder how that kind of, just like those who have massive YouTube channels now, I wonder, how is that possible if you're being restricted? Something doesn't add up. You know their name, they're in the game. That's the way it works. But the enemy is very clever. There's always going to be a counter-narrative. There's always going to be people who I don't agree with the official narrative and I want something else. It's like, oh, cool, we got that for you. We got someone, we got that for you as well. You know what I mean? It's like, they're not dumb, and they're not going to give you any real dangerous opposition, but they will give you some people that, 'hey, we're the opposition,' you know. But for people with discernment, you know, it's not hard to figure out who those people might be or what's going on. But also, you know, you look at some incredibly famous comedians, you know, and you think, well, why is this guy allowed? Like Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes or whatever. You remember that? And he was like: hey you guys are all paedophiles you've been having sex with children, and they were all just like. You know there's all these clips of them being like.. We'll bring you back next year. Yeah , yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, do you honestly think that they didn't know he was gonna say that, and you know what I mean? And they're like: you understand how dead you would be if they really didn't want that information getting out there and you just jumped on the mic and just blasted them, you know, but when you look at the, you can always look at like what was the reaction from that? People were like: oh, they got what they deserved. He roasted them. ] It's like, bro if what he was saying is true, these people need to be in jail. It's not like they, got roasted, take that. It's like, they've sort of normalized it with that move you, know what I mean. It's like, they were ridiculed, they've served their time. It's like, hang on a minute. Like, do you really stop and think about that: it's like you can't go to this. This is an industry awards thing right you. Can't say if I'm booked to do the policemen's thing of the year, whatever all the policemen, and I jump on the mic like, hey you guys we're all having sex with children. Do you think like that's gonna be allowed, or like you know, I would get shut down, and be like throwing stuff. But that didn't happen there, did it? Why? Because everyone knows it's true. Everyone knows that like, oh yeah, Weinstein and this and that, you know. Everyone knows it's true, but nothing happens. So, it's just been sort of normalized in a way. So, sometimes the things it looks like, hey, this guy's really sticking it to the man. But on closer inspection, what's the results of this sticking it to the man? In this case, you know, nothing. Yeah. No, it's exactly the same as alternative media. I think we're all seeing that as well. How do you pick, I mean, you've got so toxic masculinity, Brexit, the food industry, which is a bit different, the whole woke agenda, what I mentioned before, what's God's view in smashing up ULEZ cameras or gender study, it's one way to get screwed. All those kind of hot-button topics that are in the middle of this, I guess, this gender war and culture debate that we are seeing. Hardy, do you have a list of go-to topics? Because, I guess some comedians will just, hey, whatever the hell, if it makes people laugh, I don't give a damn, because I actually don't have any beliefs or guide in life. You do, but do you have kind of areas you think, I understand that or how does it work? I just, I just want to tell people the truth. If you go out there and tell the truth, you'll, you'll find that you're, you know, against all different kinds of things, but down to like, you know, if you want to go out there and tell people there's only men and women in the world, like, you know, it's a controversial figure, you know, like, yes. Okay. Sure. You know what I mean? Like it's not, it's not any sort of deliberate. I'm going to go after this. So, I'm going to go after that, but... I really would just like to use; when you when you make people laugh they'll actually they'll listen to what you're saying, you know. That's a that's a good opportunity to, you know, let people know like what's really going on in the world which is where my sort of Christian faith comes into it, and you know, that this is the only thing that I see as being important anymore. Like everything else in the world seems fake and corrupt and controlled. But this is telling people about Jesus is what one area where it's not. And what one area where there is hope and one area where there is, you know, success to be had, if you know what I mean. Whereas, you know, trying to climb up the career pole of the entertainment industry is, is just not, it's not one thing. It's not possible for me anymore, And it's, it's not exciting either, you know. But it must cause you… There are awards in the industry. And I saw you got an award, I think, last year for being the most popular comedian in the UK. It was the Comedy Club. That, obviously, it is good to get recognition. You realise, actually, I am hitting the mark in some areas. That's good. So, I get those things are important. But, I guess there are not many awards like that, that are actually possible for someone like yourself. Well, the British Comedian of the Year is the award that I won in November. And the only reason I even entered that is because it's voted for by the audience. So, there's only one way I'm going to win a competition if it's voted for by the audience. So, because that one's voted for by the audience, I'm like, let me, let me go and get this one, you know? And the finals that these sort of big established comedy clubs where I don't, I don't perform anymore. So, it's quite fun for me to walk in there and be like, Hey, this is what I'm up to. And then walk back out of there with a great big check, you know? So, that was, but that was really God's hand in that. You know, he, I lost my career, you know, they took everything away from me for trying to do the right thing, essentially. And, you know, God likes to, likes to test your faith, wants to see like, okay, let's see, I'm going to take this away from you. And this is going to be taken away from you. And, you know, you like to send you into the wilderness. And, and then at some point, and in my case, God was like, okay, at that point, when I won that award, God was like, okay, you can have, you can have this back now, you know, You know, you can have, you know, the recognition that.... It's quite hard when you're doing something like comedy and your friends and your family. You can tell them, like, oh, I'm cancelled. No one really believes it. It's like, oh, you must be terrible. You know what I mean? It's like, oh, I have my YouTube channel. You got taken away. Oh, yeah, right, I suppose. You know what I'm saying? It was nice for me to have, like, okay, are you actually good at this? Okay, fine. Most people just thought you were crazy or whatever. So, yeah, that was good. But you know that there's no there's only really one award like that that's voted for by the audience and that's it, so you know it's not gonna i'm gonna go any further than that, if you know what I mean. I've mentioned the the beginning of the show you have Soldier of God. Unpack that, it's a it's an interesting phrase people describe themselves themselves, their Christian faith in all different ways or none, depending on how they want to do it. But you put up there, soldier of God. Why do you describe yourself as a soldier of God? I'm in the joy division. Okay. I'm in the soldier of God. I'm in the joy division. God made me with these abilities to make people laugh and cheer people up. And that's literally what I'm out there doing, you know, and there's more people need to be. You know, out there trying to do God's work in this world. And, you know, I think all the problems we have are from a sort of degradation of, of human character. I don't think there's any sort of political thing going on. You know, I don't think it's anything like that. It's just human characters sort of eroding, but becoming more sort of selfish. We're more concerned about the things that we have and now how many followers we have and, you know what I mean, our social how we look to the outside world. And there's so many problems that we have in the world that they're all as a result of this sort of falling away from a sound position of, you know, a Christian faith. The people in this country they used to read the Bible all the time and they used to be concerned with loving your neighbour and you know following the ten commandments and treating other people as you want them to be treated. And we had this great society where you could walk down the street safely and top of the morning, sir. Good morning, sir. Good morning, Mr. Chubb. No, no, no. You know, we had all that going on. Right. But it was based on people talk about all the fall of Western society. There's no such thing as Western. You know, it's not like we have Western values. So, give me, you know, what are you talking about? Western? What do you mean is Christian countries that began following Christ and trying to imitate what Jesus were like, started doing really well. Started having really nice countries. It's almost like treating other people as you would have them treat you as a basic principle results in a really nice place with everyone, you know, enjoying their life isn't it? And you know this is what's built this country up and made it great, and now no one believes in it anymore, no one reads the bible. They watch Netflix and Love Island, right? And we wonder why everything's going to S.H.I.T, you know what I mean? We wonder why? It's like, you still read, we used to read the Bible all the time and try to be like Jesus. And now we've thrown the name of Jesus Christ in the bin, and you want to wonder why the place is falling apart, and you want to try and fix it by voting for someone with a blue tie or a red tie. like, it's insane. It's no one with a special coloured tie is going to save you, you know. It's God is the only person can save this country and this world. That's what the Bible teaches you, and that's what the truth of it is. And I've got no interest anymore in, you know, really telling anyone about anything else other than that, because it's the only solution. And because it's the only solution, you know, I can't really get excited about anything else, you know? You're 100%. I was trying to explain to someone today where we are in Europe and the UK in regards to the church and Christian belief compared to the States. And the States are in a mess, but we are much further gone. And it's quite difficult to explain the situation we find ourselves right on a precipice of chaos and probably oblivion. Tell me about your faith story. Was that was a light bulb moment? Was your background connected to church? Not at all. How did you come to Christ? Not at all. l was walking down the street and somebody sent me a message. It's actually, I think it was a Muslim guy sent me a message: salaam Alaikum, or something, and I was like I wonder what that means. And I googled what it meant, and it meant he was greeting me with the peace of God. And I asked myself for the first time, I was like I wonder what what the peace of god feel like, and it just hit me washed over my soul my first encounter with the holy spirit. And I was like, whoa! It was crazy. I was like; whoa God is real. And that was when god first sort of revealed himself to me, and then I just started reading the Bible. I'd just been cancelled at the time, I just sort of lost everything so I came to the bible like thinking; wait a minute When was this like 2018, 2019, when was this? Yeah, about then. I think so, about then. So, I came to the bible trying to understand why the world hated me, because if you've been cancelled you lost everything, you're like: hey, and I know my own heart. I know I'm trying to do the right thing and I'm trying to bring people together and I've lost everything. That doesn't seem correct to me so, I started reading the Bible looking for answers for that. And Jesus said: if the world hates you, remember it hated me first. And I was like: hey, wait a second, that's that's true, because most people they don't even investigate Jesus. They don't think that he's a significant person. And someone like me who's always looking for the truth, I'm like, let me read every word that Jesus said, and let me see if I can find where he's wrong or where he's lying or what I don't agree with. I'm like, wait a second. Everything this guy says is true. Everything this guy says is incredible. You know, I came to the Bible feeling that the world hated me. I read one line, the world hates you. Remember, it hated me first. I'm like, whoa, I'm just on the right path as Jesus. And immediately I cheered up. I was like, the world hates me. This is horrible. I'm like, wait a minute. The world hated Jesus first. And you think that you've got some sub story like, oh, I'm just trying to be a good person and this bad thing happened to you. There's no better example of that than Jesus who just walked around healing sick people and performing miracles and just helping everyone. And then they nailed him to a cross and tortured him to death for three days. It's like Jesus didn't deserve any of that. And he's showing you the way the world really works. Like if you really go out there and show love and the world will hate you. And that's the exact time we're living in today, dude. If you really want to go out there and tell people the truth and make a difference, and take a stand, and do the right thing, and live a righteous life; the world will hate you. But if you want to go out there and have pride and celebrate pride, the world will love you. You know, everything is inverted from how it used to be. We used to think that pride is the sin that God hates the most, the Bible says. And what a coincidence. We spent a whole month celebrating it. You know, they didn't pick pride, you know, by accident. They didn't pick the rainbow as a symbol by accident. There's a biblical symbol, you know, everything. The more you read the Bible, the more you'll realize all of this stuff in the world is from the Bible. You know, like all of the things that they're pushing are the exact opposite of what God says to do. Like the exact opposite. It you, know having pride being a great example of that you know. That god made them male and female, you know, that's under attack. Like anything god says in the bible our modern culture hates, you know, and it's as simple as that. No, 100 percent. And the rainbow is a perfect example of God making a promise and man taking that and twisting it and making it as perverse as possible. And that shows the state we are in. Whenever you want to take something which is good and godly and twist it and make it as disgusting and perverse as possible. I mean, I really feel sympathy for the people that are involved in this movement, because they're being deceived in a very... They're being encouraged to antagonize God. The rainbow is the symbol that God sent that said, I will never destroy the world again, no matter how much you disobey me. So, they've got them out there holding that symbol of, God says you won't destroy the world, and at the same time saying, and I'm disobeying you, God. They're provoking God, whether they know it or not. But that's the point of that movement, if you ask me. It's leading people to rebel against God, and not only that, to spike the football, if you like, right in the face of the Almighty, you know. And I don't think the rainbow symbol, I don't think it's an accident that they picked that one. You know, most people are being misled in these days, but Jesus did say that's what we'll categorize the final days, which is believe where they are, take care that no man deceives you, you know. I think we're living in the age of deception, but the more people read the Bible, the more you'll understand that this is all in there. Everything that's happening now is in there, you know, down to cashless society and, you know, all the stuff the Bible says will happen towards the end is happening. Especially, what I'm talking about a lot, which is the degradation of human character, the falling away from a standing position of Christianity. You know, so much of what we're told to expect towards the end of this age is happening out there right now. And it's one of the reasons why God tells you the future in the Bible thousands of years ago is so that you'll read it and go, oh, wow, this really is God chatting here. Because, everything he said that would happen 2,000 years ago, I can see happening outside of the window if people want to go and examine the Bible. But, you know, they got people pretty much convinced that they don't want to do that, so people don't. But if you did, you'd find out what was going on. Yeah, you can read as many books, watch as many podcasts, but you can short circuit the path to truth and just pick up a Bible. Yes. It's a lot quicker and you'll get there much sooner. Alistair, what was your background? Was it against God? Was it against Christianity or was it just indifference? Just complete, no idea about that at all, you know. Interestingly when I did my food show, when I started telling people to eat real food, is the first time when I sort of really noticed: hang on a minute. Because, I was just I was just telling people to eat like normal. I noticed that all the food that's just on the earth is so good for you, right? And it just falls off the trees and grows out of the ground and, you know, just replicates itself through seeds and animals giving birth to other animals. I'm like, and all that's really good for you, right? And all the food that men touch that we create kills you, like processed food. And I very quickly sort of figured out, like, oh, it's almost as if the stuff that's here on the earth has been created and is incredible and everything that we tamper with turns to, you know, death. And you know, it's interestingly, it's I first saw God in an apple, you know, which is like where original sin comes from. But that's where I first realized: oh people. And I was trying to tell people the truth about food. And they were trying to wipe me out for that, you know. And that was again: I was just telling people like, eat celery, and they're like get rid of this guy, you know, because most people are dumbed down into, you know, drinking sugar and sweetness and just they're being poisoned to death, most people, with the food. And I was trying to just let people know, hey, there's an easy way to be healthy. You just eat the food that's lying around. And it was like, right, make sure he's never seen from again. And that's when you sort of realize how evil the world actually is. You're like: well there must be an opposite to this, right? So, that was, yeah, so lots of my life you can look at and go: oh this is this has led, me to God this has led me to God, but I was never... My family were never, you know, really religious, or whatever I was never brought up on it or anything like that. It's just, you know, God chose to reveal himself to me. It's like nothing that I did or you know. Well, that's the I think the frustrating part; that those of us who are Christians feel that and we've seen actually through the Covid tyranny that people just don't ask. People don't think. People are sheep and all they all the Bob Moran cartoons are so true that people are sheep and they just follow that pathway and you have a conversation and they look at you blankly, but you're right mention Love Island or something and suddenly they're alive. And you think there's a disconnect that you've actually been dulled into a place of not questioning anything and just believing what you're told and that's difficult. That gap is a massive gap to bridge. Yeah, I mean most people, they watch the television right? They figure out what's going on from the television, you know, that's what they do. And you know, you figure out the way my life's gone, I quickly figured out, oh, the television is just one giant deception. When you just have a little peek behind the curtain at the television, it's like, oh, this is awful. Even like adverts these days on the television, they're so awful, man. Everything's so zany. You know, it's always just like, oh, it's got a real sort of satanic vibe to it. Even like adverts, it's all sort of close zoomed in on the face and quick cuts everywhere. Like they don't even, new music's the same. It's so jarring and it's just, ugh, like everything that is of the world just really stinks to me now. You know, so entertainment especially, I mean they're not even really trying to hide it in entertainment anymore; like and young people are sort of picking up on this. You can see some interesting TikTok videos where people are sort of mimicking, like you go to a rap concert and it's just a satanic ritual and the people are looking around; it's like, hey wait a minute what did he say? It's like, you know, the demons in me, is like what? Young people are starting to figure out like, hang on a minute, this is a bit sinister like what we're being what we're being fed here. And don't get me started on children's entertainment and how you know the occult has repackaged itself. Like you pick up any children's movie and stuff, I bet you it's about magic and spells and and unicorns and you know, and people don't realize like how much you know, the the occult has repackaged itself to children and it's really disgusting when you really sort of look into that. I mean, the Disney and how that all works. You know, there's endless rabbit holes that people can go down that I've been down, and they're very eye-opening when you realize the sweet stuff that you thought was so innocent, and you realize how much of it is of the enemy. And you can find God through this, which sounds crazy, but the Antichrist points the way to Christ because he's the opposite. So, whenever you see him work and you're like, oh, okay, well, I go to the opposite of that. I'll find Jesus, which is pretty much what happened to me. Tell me, just finishing off on the on the comedy side, for you, are there like red lines, because you think where does a comedian go; every comedian is different, because we are who we are and we reflect what we what we see around us, but for you are there red lines, are there areas you don't go, how does it work? I mean I try not to swear very much anymore. So, you're not Not like I'll be then? No, no, no, no, no. And I try, I get convicted of that sort of stuff. I still do swell. I try not to, you know what I mean? I try not to, just because, you know, I'm very big on this sort of, you know, I'm going to be called to account for everything that I've done or not done. So, you know, I have a responsibility to try and do things the right way. And I, you know, that's my red lines. Basically, I try to not talk about anything that I don't think Jesus would talk about or want me to talk about. And that is very much like swearing loads or another one that's possibly I'm out being sort of unforgiving of people. It's very sort of easy these days. But these people have done this and they've done that. And they're the evilest people in the world. We need to get them all and blah, blah, blah. This is not a Christian doctrine, is it? It's supposed to be the opposite of that. So, that's somewhere else where I really have to rein myself in. Like a lot of the times, these people we talked about earlier, these sort of fake content creators that are the opposition, but they're not really the opposition. You know, I find it quite easy to show the content that they're putting out and sort of ridiculing it or sort of, you know, exposing like, well, hang on a minute. Is this really the opposition? And just trying to do that in a sort of Christian way, you know, Without being mean, without being, you know, insulting, but still trying to make it amusing. Things so they're it's pretty boring red lines. I'm sure it's not, you know, really what that sort of question was implying but that's that's pretty much where they are, yeah. Can I just ask you about, actually, how you actually fund yourself. I mean how do viewers listeners, they're always looking for I guess no only subscribing or supporting on the social media side, but actually just how they financially support. How does that work for you and how do the public kind of support what you do to make sure you keep going? Well, that's it, I just put my content out there for free. I put my live streams out there for free, and I put little links where people can support me on subscribe star or locals and stuff like that and there's a really sort of core group of people that do that. And they give me the ability, you know, to keep going essentially, you know, I do, I do a lot more live comedy now and, you know, that, that helps. But that's pretty much it. I got no one, you know, supporting me apart from. You have no sugar daddy. No. So, if people don't want me to keep going, you know, people don't want me to keep going. And it's hard, because most people are broke these days. You know, people are being, people are being attacked in, in a lot of ways economically these days, you know. It's very difficult for people to have excess money to throw at someone like me, you know, but I'm in a sort of really good position where I can literally say whatever I want, because the people that support me; I don't have a I don't have any sponsors or anything like that. So, I can literally just, be a voice out there that's just coming at it from a place that, you know, I will say, you know, exactly what I think. And that's, that's pretty rare these days, you know? So, I mean, yeah, that's, that's pretty much it. I'm just supported by, by the regular people. Do you do many live shows? Cause I know you've done some comedy on leash, but I, I don't fall over closely necessarily, but do you do live shows that people can come along to or other clubs? I do. There's clubs, but the the television controls most of the comedy circuit in the UK right, because you can't get past a certain level before it's like: well, we need someone for with T.V credits for this, you know what I mean. Must have been on the TV, you know, otherwise you're just in this sort of layer below, you know, it doesn't matter how funny you are. If you haven't been on the TV, or you've not been on TV, so you know, what I'm saying, so that's the the way that the TV companies sort of control even, even who gets to do sort of live comedy, but there is, there's a lot of work out there for someone like me who can do the job well, and you know, I can, scratch a living, you know, from the sort of the gigs in the sort of mid tier. But you know what you're saying before, like, isn't it difficult to make people laugh? Like, I shouldn't be at the mid tier anymore, but they've got me in the mid tier. So, it's like, you know, it's so, I don't want to say it's easy for me, but it is it's. Like they got me instead of on the mid-tier and it's like: okay, I'll sit here, I'll sit here on the mid-tier. You know, I'll go on before the last guy who's going to be so incredible, okay. You know what I mean? So, it's fine, but it takes you know it takes all the pressure off to be honest, it takes all the pressure off ,you know. But, it's fine, you know, I'm just, I'm not happy to be happy to be doing the job, bear in mind I'm not doing this for fame or money anymore, I'm doing this for the opportunity to tell people about Jesus so, you know, it's fine just to be able to do it it's fun, you know. Well, you're doing that, and as your teacher says, God wins in the end, so that's the end of the story. Alistair, really appreciate you coming on. I've loved your skits, love following you on Twitter, so thanks so much for coming on and sharing your story, not only of comedy, but of faith with our audience. Thank you. Hey, any time. Thanks for having me on. Really appreciate it.

Show notes and Transcript James Delingpole is a well known podcaster and social commentator who never minces his words, but he is also a man of deep faith and he returns to Hearts of Oak to tell us the story of how he rediscovered his Christian beliefs.  In the UK, faith is a private matter that seems taboo and must never be discussed with others yet James is determined to go against this protocol as he knows the importance of faith and belief.  He had a very traditional English childhood where the Church of England was a constant through his education, but once free from those schooling constraints he went his own way.  But he has now gone full circle and re-embraced Christianity and found a whole new purpose in life.  He shares with us how he now feels called to encourage others to find a meaning for their lives, James' boldness, clarity and certainty is an inspiration in an age of confusion and chaos.

Transcript (Hearts of Oak) It is wonderful to have Mr Delingpod back with us again, James Delingpole. James, thank you so much for your time today.  (James Delingpole) It's a pleasure, Peter.  Great to have you, and obviously you can follow James there is his Twitter handle, and Delingpod will bring up, everywhere and anywhere where the Delingpod is, whether it's audio you listen on the go, or whether you watch. I certainly enjoy it on Rumble, but I'll let the viewers and listeners choose their preferred platform to watch your many interviews. Now, James, I wanted to have you on. Actually, as I mentioned to you before we went on, it was chatting to Dick at the Comcast event at the beginning of the year. And the issue of faith came up in one after one of the sessions over a few drinks. So I was curious and wanted you to come on. I know there's something you've talked about, but maybe if I can step back a little bit and ask you what was your background kind of growing up in terms of faith and church? I have probably the classic background for a certain kind of Englishman, let's say. So I went to a prep school where we had chapel seven days a week, twice on Sundays, and then I went to a public school where there was a fairly similar arrangement. And I went to church at Christmas and possibly Easter. I think at the time I didn't really know it, but I was what I would probably call now a cultural Christian. I believed in the Church of England as a kind of institution, as part of the fabric of our heritage, you know, you had all the beautiful churches run about the country. You had the vicar judging the marrows in the village fete and more tea vicar. And the church was there for when you got married and when you got buried, when you got christened. And this was part of the sort of the ritual formality that binds our country. I still respect that element, although I think it's greatly diminished in our culture. But in what you might call my normie days, I would have made a very good case, for the cultural importance of Christianity and of the Church of England, and just sort of giving a degree of shape and meaning to our lives. But what I didn't really, I didn't, I wouldn't say I was an atheist. I know I wasn't an atheist, because when I was at my prep school, I remember arriving at my prep school, I would have been about eight. And you get dropped off by your parents. And then the headmaster and headmistress pretend to be all friendly, like they do in front of your parents. And then your parents go. And then suddenly, you are. It's like being in prison. It really is like being in prison. You are shown to your dormitory. And your bed is not the comfy bed you had at home, where mommy kind of tucked you in and read you a story. It's this grim prison bed with this lumpy mattress and these scratchy blankets. And you're in a dormitory with these boys who, some of them, are crying in their pillows and stuff. And I remember that first night. And what do you do? I remember saying my prayers. Because I'd seen my dad, when I was very, very young, one of my earliest memories is going into my parents' bedroom and seeing my father kneeling down by his bed every night. He said his prayers. And so for me, it was something that you did. So I said my prayers. And I wonder now, looking back, whether a bit like, I think that I did myself a lot of good later on in life by being a cross-country runner at school. When you develop your lung capacity and your stamina at that age, it stands you in good stead for later life. And in a way, I wonder whether my prayers put me on the right footing, with God. And I suppose, did I say my prayers when I was at my public school at Morven? Probably I did. But as you know, there is a massive, there is a sort of cultural cringe towards Christianity, which I now understand is the work of the devil. You know, if you are the devil and the devil does exist. If you are the devil and you've got this institution, Christianity. How are you going to undermine it? Well, I think if you attack it head-on, what you're probably going to find is that people are going to resist and they're going to defend it. It's a bit like when big government pushes too hard. I just done a podcast with somebody who's, sorry, excuse my digressions here, but I quite like a digression. I just done a podcast with Monica Smit and Monica Smit, got, did 23 days in solitary confinement in an Australian prison cell because this punishment for resisting all the kind of vaccine mandates. And she was describing what it was like in the the state of Victoria, which, of all the places in the West, had about the most draconian COVID regulations anywhere in the world. And she said that there was a protest outside the state parliament in Victoria, in Melbourne. Which attracted 600,000 people, 600,000 people. The population, I think, of Victoria is 6 million. So when you discount all the people who were too young to attend or too old to attend, she reckoned it was probably about half of the state was up in arms against it. Because Dan Andrews, their wicked premier, pushed too hard. And I think it's the same where the devil knows this. The devil's a clever fellow. So he knows that if you want to undermine Christianity, you don't attack it head on. What you do is you make it this slightly embarrassing, uncool thing. And you infiltrate the church by making sure that you get priests, clerics, who don't really, they think that Christianity needs updating. You know, that Bible stuff, it's so old-fashioned. It's just like, they're not really. They're not very progressive on issues like homosexuality. And really, you need kind of gay marriage to, because the Bible was, happened a long time ago, and we've moved on since then. And also, you need, instead of psalms and robust hymns written by Charles Wesley with Jolly Tunes, what you need is people strumming guitars. And you need to rewrite the service book. So instead of having the old liturgy with its robust, sonorous, and beautiful language. You replace it with this touchy-feely, limp, toe rag, limp dishcloth stuff that's designed to make you feel awkward and embarrassed and to take you away from the numinous, from the spiritual side of things, which is the only side that really eats. In fact, what you do is you keep the religion, but you remove God. You remove the key element. And one of the things that's really excited me about my sort of discovery or rediscovery of Christianity is to realize that the supernatural element, the element which has largely been written out of Christianity in our secular culture, is the stuff that really matters. Because God is real. God created the Earth. I mean, despite what we're taught at schools, we're taught evolutionary theory is evolutionary fact. And it just doesn't stand up when you look into it. So my journey of faith has been rediscovering that God is real, that angels are real. Two of my followers, whatever we want to call them, have seen angels. I know demons are real. There's a friend of mine who can actually see the demons feeding off people. They harvest our emotional energy. Once you understand that this earthly world, the materium, is merely a kind of Earth-bound reflection of what is happening above in the spiritual realm, Only then do you really understand the nature of reality. Can I, I agree on that? When I talk to atheists, I say, I wish I had your faith to believe in nothing. When you see the complexity of the world.  Yeah, that's a good one. But can you, I'm assuming that when you left school, you kind of left that behind. I'm hearing kind of your faith as in prayer, that ritual was part of the education, but when you finish education, you left that behind, or did you keep some of that? More or less, more or less. I had an interesting period where, when I had children. And every parent goes through this, how do you get your child into a school that is not totally shit, that is not going to break the bank. So in the early days, most of us, can't afford private education for our children. I mean, I did go private later on, but by various means, you know, sort of bursaries and helpful relatives and things like that. But you think, okay, well, got to get them into it, ideally a church. I can't do a Catholic school, because I'm not a Catholic, but Church of England Primary. And quite a lot of Church of England Primary schools know they've got you by the balls. They know that this is a way of enforcing church attendance among parents. So then it came down to what? Most churches are really grim places. And I mean, talking back then, the modern equivalent of talking about Zelensky and climate change, that they've got all these values which have nothing to do with Christianity. So you think, well, and some of them have really long services as well, really, really boring services. Luckily, we had family connections, traditions with a fantastic church called Chelsea Old Church on the embankment. It was Thomas Moore's church, I think. So lots of people have worshipped there. And it had a really good vicar called Peter Elvey. And Peter Elvey and his marvellous assistant, Susan Gaskell, who was this, she liked to sort of have a glass of champagne at 11 in the morning and with a few cigarettes. She was proper old school. And the congregation was really quite pucker. And this appealed to my snobbery apart from anything else. And I like the fact this is an old church. And I think it used the Book of Common Prayer, I think. But they had this great children's service. And in the middle of the service, they had a really good dressing up box. And if you were lucky, your children would be selected to act out whatever the day's scripture, what the day's reading was. And I started taking part in organizing this. And sometimes I would do some of the quizzes where you'd quiz the children on what been said in the story, and testing them, and throwing mini Mars bars to the child who got it. So I quite liked this. I didn't become a God-botherer.  So this was your first, what, this may be 15 years ago, whatever. This is your first step back into the church, is it?  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly, exactly. But it reminded me of some of the things that are good about the church. But more, Do you know what, at the time I justified this to myself more on, I remember going back to my school, back to Malvern, and talking to one of the few staff that remained from my period there. He was a history teacher, and he was describing to me how children would come up, would start at, 13 year olds would arrive at the school, and none of them would know basic things like the biblical stories, which I think are one of the bedrocks of our culture. And this really matters to me. I mean, regardless of what you think about the spiritual element, we are a Christian country. Our literature, for example, which is possibly our greatest artistic speciality, if you like. Our literature is steeped in religious learning. I mean, I studied The Dream of the Rude. Anglo-Saxon poetry is all about Christ and the cross and stuff. And then you go through to Chaucer and Shakespeare and so on. Milton, obviously. They all have an understanding, they all write on the assumption that their audience knows things like the water into wine and all the stories. And I found it shocking that I was living in a world where this stuff had been written out of our history. Probably the generation after mine is the first generation in a thousand or more years that doesn't understand the basics of the Bible. And that was shocking. So I saw it as a cultural thing. I thought it was part of my children's education, number one. And probably also at the time, I believed something which I do not believe now. I thought that the great clash of, the great war, if you like, was between Christianity and fundamentalist Islam. I didn't realize that almost all alleged Muslim attacks are actually false flag operations masterminded by the dark side. So I thought, it's Lord of the Rings time. There is evil out there, and we can see what the evil looks like. And we've got to know what side we're on. We're on the side of Judeo-Christian culture, as I would have called it at the time. So I saw it as a cultural thing rather than as a spiritual thing. So there came a point, I want to pick up on that, cultural Christianity near the end, because it's something I've been pondering about a lot, listening to a lot of commentators. But for you, you talked about going back to church. Then was there a wake-up point, or is it gradually, when you begun to realize, actually the Bible is true, God is real, and that then requires a response from me.  That came later. So, about just before the fake pandemic craziness, I got very invested in Donald Trump. I thought that Donald Trump was was going to save us. I don't think that anymore. I don't believe there are any white hats. I think they're all compromised. But at the time, I sensed that something was very, very, very wrong with the world. And I think a lot of people who go down the rabbit hole have this traumatic experience in some way, whether it's somebody who's had all their money taken away by the banks, that they thought banks were respectable, or whatever. My own trauma was seeing the leadership of the free world, as I believed it was then, stolen in real time by skulduggery of such breath-taking overtness. It was so blatant. And I saw the entirety of the media, which I'd thought of as a journalist of 30 years, I thought, well, the media's job is to speak truth to power and all the things that Toby Young still believes in. I thought, well, the media will never allow this to happen. They're going to point out all this blatant stuff, ballot papers being discovered by the lorry load, filled in and stuff, and footage from the various counting stations and so on. Anyway, it didn't happen. I saw that the mainstream media, which I trusted to tell the truth, was gaslighting everyone, into believing that actually this was normal and that this senile, incontinent crook in the pay of communist China and stuff, who'd never even gone on the road because his handlers couldn't bear to let such a liability anywhere near the electorate, that somehow this guy Joe Biden had won and worst of all was all the people I'd thought of as my comrades in arms, the people who I thought of as the band of brothers who were going to fight with me in the foxholes alongside me, and I could trust them to guard my flanks because we were all in this one together, that great battle for freedom, for truth, they were participating in this lie. And it was a real, real, OK. I mean, I was desperately naïve. I think most of us are, though. I think because we're subject to this brainwashing process from the earliest stage. Our parents, who know no better, tell us. And then our schools brainwash us. And then the media brainwashes. And the entertainment industry brainwashes us. So it was really, and I went through this period of about three months where, I mean, I almost had a breakdown, actually. And then you start looking into various other things, trying to make sense of the world. And you realize that the whole world is a lie and an illusion, and that there are really, really bad people in charge. And that is the stage where you go from red-pilled to black-pilled. You think, we are totally stuffed. But then, parallel to this, there were various awakening moments. So I started noticing in my podcast that I was starting to talk about that I was, I started mentioning God more, and I was starting to talk about being on a mission from God. And I said it half flippantly. But I began to realize that actually, no, I wasn't saying this flippantly at all. I remember doing a podcast with Jamie Franklin from a Irreverend Pod. Yeah. And Jamie said to me, you know, I've noticed that some of the language you've started using is really quite, you know, religious, Christian in its overtones. And I thought, yeah, you're right, Jamie. What's going on here? There were a few other things, because it didn't... there wasn't a... A saw line moment of sort of blinding realization. It wasn't as simple as that. I remember I did a podcast with Jerry Marzynski, the psychiatrist from Arizona who'd worked a lot with paranoid schizophrenic in high security hospitals and prisons. And it's worth listening to the two podcasts I did with him, but Jerry, unlike most psychiatrists or prison shrinks, who'd prefer to dose their patients with chemical cosh's and just like, you know, turn them into zombies. He actually took the trouble to listen to what they were saying about the voices in their heads. And he discovered there was remarkable consistency in what the voices in the heads were saying was the sort of thing that demons would say, because these things are demons. And he found that the most effective treatment of these demons was the 23rd Psalm. So I thought that's interesting. I get kind of voices in my head, not demonic voices. Well, I mean, I think they are demonic voices. But I think when you say to yourself things like, God, you're such an idiot. I bloody hate you, you bastard, you stupid. I hate you. You really you'd be better off dead. You should die. I hate you. I used to get that all the time, especially after nights drinking, whatever, and stuff. So I started learning the 23rd Psalm, and then I learned Psalm 91. And then I thought, I quite like these Psalms. And what I found was that the Psalms made me based, for want of a better word, the Psalms are a great solace. And it's not without reason, I think, that novice monks, the first job when they joined the monastery was to learn the Psalter. They learned the whole lot, all 150 of the Psalms. The enemy, the forces of darkness, the Russell Brands of this world, they use words. They use words like spells, and the dark side uses spells. Christians too have spells, but we don't call them spells, because that's what they are. They are a form of magic, but they're holy magic. And when you say the Psalms, it gives you... you put on the whole armour of God. They protect you. They protect you from the dark forces. And I mean, There were other moments too. I found that I would have moments where... I didn't have a voice saying, I am God, and thou art my chosen one to go. But I do very much feel, really, really feel, that I've been given a mission, a purpose.  And my purpose is twofold. It's one to red pill people, and one to white pill people. And I feel really, really comfortable about that. I don't feel at all embarrassed about talking about Christianity. When I go out into the world, when I'm hunting, for example, and the fact that I go hunting pisses some people off. And I say to them, OK, I wrote a piece about this on Substack once. I say, the world is controlled by Satanists who sacrifice children to the devil, and you're worried about fox hunting. Get real. I think anyone who's against fox hunting is not actually fit to be properly awake, so they don't get it. They don't get that the war on hunting is part of the forces of darkness's war on humanity generally, on us ordinary people. If you saw how communities are bound by rural communities, economically they're bound, socially they're bound, the qualities that they instil in the people who do it, you know, courage, camaraderie, a love of the countryside, you know, we even love the fox for goodness sake, I mean, because the fox is a key part of the deal and we respect the fox, we like the fox, the fox is our quarry, okay, he's our enemy in the sense that he trashes chickens and stuff, and if you've seen the hen house after a fox has been in there, it's carnage. Everything that's going on in the world right now is a war on humanity, and we are created in God's image. And that is why they do it. That is why they divide us in all sorts of ways, whether it's through religious schisms, whether it's through things like animal rights, a division between artificial entirely, I think, created by propaganda, between meat-eaters and non-meat-eaters. Almost every division in society is created by the forces of darkness to divide. I think, left to our own devices, we'd all get on really quite well. We wouldn't have wars. We definitely would not have wars. Wars are all engineered by a tiny, tiny, tiny satanic, class. Where am I going with this? I can't remember what the question was. Actually, on the Psalms, you talk about the Psalms, reading the 23rd Plasms, 91st and others. You've just started a series on the Psalms. Gavin Ashenden, I think, was the second one I watched that. That's intriguing because the only other person, I think I've seen Alistair Williams do, kind of looking at different parts of the Bible. It's something that's frowned upon, as you said, frowned upon in the UK. It's not the American right that where people are fairly open about faith, whether it's real or not. So what led you to actually going through the Psalms and talking about it? Because that's quite a step change. It puts you out there, makes you vulnerable. It's outside your lane, all of that stuff.  Yeah. They came about me like bees, which are extinct, even as the fire among the thorns. How could you not respond to language like that? I mean, the language of the liturgy is up there with Shakespeare. It was written about the same period. I mean, I just quoted, I hope accurately, the psalm I'm just learning, which is Psalm 118. The one I've been using is, I started out using the King James versions of the version of Psalm 23, and then just KJV. But then a lot of the psalm translations in KJV borrow quite heavily from Myles Coverdale, who was translating them about 50 or 60 years earlier. And I think there's a greater charm in his translations. And so those are the ones used in the Book of Common Prayer, which were were the psalms I learned at prep school, or the psalms we sang at prep school. And I remember at school. And I was thinking, why? Why are we singing these dirgy, I mean, OK, some of the hymns are bad enough. But the psalms, you didn't really know what the point of them was. They were just, but looking back, I'm glad that I've got these phrases lodged in my head, which I was, it was like having a kind of Proust-Madeleine moment where I came back to learning these psalms and recognizing these familiar phrases which I'd resented singing at school or sort of croaking at school, you know, the fowls of the air and the fishes of the sea, and whatsoever walketh through the paths of the sea, so Lord our governor, Herakles, which is my name, in all the world. There was a point, and I doubt even the head of music, who was also one of the school's benders, who used to molest us, I'm sure was the case in most prep schools. Everyone had a kind of molesty master. I doubt he was much of a Christian, not least because he introduced with relish the alternative service book of the 1970s, that horrible yellow band thing with the horrible modern liturgy. So he was probably part of Satan's mission. But anyway, unwittingly, he inculcated us with the language of Miles Coverdale, which has stayed with me since. The Psalms are as, I mean, I'd love to be able to speak Hebrew and read them in the original Hebrew. But certainly in their translation by Coverdale and the team that put together the King James version. They work as literature. They also work as a form of solace, because what they do is tell you that however bad things may get, God is there for you. They're kind of like an instruction manual. It is better to trust in the Lord than put any confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord than put any confidence in princes. I mean, if you learn those two lines, in fact, one of them would do, it'd be a very good manual for living out your life, because you wouldn't be putting your trust in Russell Brand. You wouldn't be putting your trust in Donald Trump. you wouldn't be trusting, you just remind yourself that the most important thing is God. And the better your relationship with God, the better life you have. Because God works his holy magic. I mean, all Christians can testify this. All real Christians know that this stuff is not imaginary, that there are ways that God helps you, that the supernatural, the crazy stuff works. And the Psalms were a daily reminder of this. And so if you can ideally learn them, because you inhabit them more thoroughly than you do when you're reading them. I mean, I have a treasury of poetry in my head as well. I learned a representative poem by pretty much all our great poets. I mean, I don't practice them as much now because I'm too busy reciting the psalms in my head. But when you learn poetry, with your stumbling process by which you memorize these poems and you get it wrong, you actually go through the process the poet went through when he was writing this poem. And in the same way, I think when you learn the psalms, you, well, you inhabit them, and they inhabit you, and that is a lovely thing to have running through you every day. Yeah, because there are numerous times in the Psalms where it says, tell my soul, speak to my soul, and it is a framework. It changes your focus, not only the Psalms, but Proverbs, a guide for living, and whatever you're going through personally, that is what gives you hope, and you're right. If you soak in that, you're infused with that, then that affects what you do. They have direct practical uses as well. For example, Psalm 91, which is a warrior's psalm. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flyeth by day, nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come nigh thee.". This, I understand, is the prayer recited by the US Marine Corps when they go into action, and probably many other soldiers as well. And it protects you. It protects you. So that's a good psalm to have up your sleeve.  You talk about confidence in what the Bible teaches about taking that on and that becomes who you are. I'm curious because when I look at the Church of England and doubt and how that fits, I mean I grew up a pastor's kid, Baptist church, it was certainty, it was absolute, you knew what you believed. Then you look at the Church of England and kind of there's a lot of fear of offending, and I guess doubt becomes a virtue. I'm intrigued with that, where I like the absolute uncertainty that parts of the church bring to the Bible, it is the Word of God, it is true, where The Church of England  seems to struggle with that sense of truth. Well, I don't think it's just the Church of England. I think that all the, well certainly, the Roman Catholic Church, certainly the Church of England, probably most churches, have been infiltrated by the forces of darkness. Obviously, as you would. I mean, if you were devil, it would be your key target. The Pope is the anti-Pope. The Pope is definitely batting for the wrong team. So is Welby. And yet, I quite like, I'm quite enjoying the fact at the moment that I am a sort of floating voter in that notionally I'm C of E. But I find much that is good in the Calvinists I speak to and in the Catholics, particularly the Latin mass. And it enables me, I think, to speak to all Christians rather than... I mean, I love the Orthodox Church. You're like, wow, I'd quite like to be an Orthodox monk on Mount Athos. But-  We could do that together. That'd be good fun.  It'd be fun. It saddens me that there are these- you see it on my telegram channels, that the Baptists and so on, and the Calvinists and whatever, they think that Catholicism isn't really Christianity because they accuse them of worshipping Mary and saying prayers to saints and stuff. And it's a throwback to the emperor Constantine. He never really converted to Christianity. That was just fake. And what he did was he borrowed all the kind of pagan goddesses and you know all this and I'm thinking... God. I don't want to speak for God. But I have a feeling that God is looking at these schisms and going, guys, lighten up, will you? You're all doing pretty much the right thing. I don't believe that he is so picky, that he is saying, well, the Catholics, they are pagans. Look at at the Asherah pole they've got standing in the middle of St. Peter's Square. How can they not? The other thing I've noticed about becoming a Christian, is that the upside is the church, the broad church, the joy you get talking to Christians about Christianity. So the other day I went riding and you're going to be on a horse talking to people for the next couple of hours if you're out on the hack. And some of them are boring, some of them are not. So met these people and two women up from London and I said to one of them. And what's your name and she said I'm called Mariam I said Mariam oh that's an interesting name. It sounds a bit... Ethiopian.  She said, I'm not Ethiopian. I'm originally from a Muslim background. I said, all right. Yeah, well, Mariam, yeah, I've heard it a lot. It's sort of the Copts. I kind of like the Coptic church. It's really old. And I didn't mention that they've got the Ark of the Covenant somewhere hidden in Ethiopia. But I said, yeah, I'm really interested in Christianity. It's just, I think, endlessly fascinating. She said, are you? I said, yeah, yeah, yeah. Can't get enough of it. And she said, I was baptized three months ago. And I said, oh, wow. So the whole of the rest of the ride, we had this great talk about God. So that's what I love about Christianity, the fellowship. [The downside is that you get lots of really annoying Christians who do things like telling you, hinting that you're not really Christian enough, or correcting you on sort of doctrinal inaccuracies. I've got views that I know are heretical. I'm not going to talk about them here, because I don't want to get stick from... But look, I think that you listen to the the words of Jesus. You follow the Psalms. You've got the creed to keep you on the straight and narrow. Go to church if you can. Take communion if you can. We're all on the same team, I think. Can I pick up, just to finish on that cultural Christianity, which has been in my head for a couple of years watching different commentators, politicians, probably more stateside, they kind of, they yearn for those days whenever Christianity gave a moral framework, I guess, and they seem to want the idea that Christianity brings without having the person of Christ. And I enjoy watching conservative commentators struggle with that, that they want this but they don't. And it's like something is so attractive, it looks good, but yet that relationship with Jesus, that actually calls them back. Yeah, I mean, didn't Tony Blair claim to be a Catholic once? I have my suspicions about other conservative MPs who go big on their Catholicism. In fact, I have my severe doubts about any of the MPs who play the Christian card, because I think they're all basically working for the other side. I think what we saw during... I hate to use the word COVID like it was real. But what we saw was the puppets of Satan just doing the devil's work to the people, trusting people who thought these were their elected representatives. I don't think that I, it's not for me to judge, but I don't think there are many MPs, any politicians anywhere in the world who are not going to burn in hell. But what does that, because I know, I think Thierry Baudet was with you a while ago, and he talked about the Natcon conference. And he was fairly dismissive of that actually being conservative and not only the big issues, but actually what I took away looking at some of those was that Christianity no longer plays a part in those circles, apart from lip service. Is that a fair enough assessment or disagree with that?  Totally. Yeah, I mean, Natcon is definitely another example of the devil at work. Yeah, yeah. I mean, name me an MP, a politician of any hue, who talks about real Christianity, as opposed to Erzat's Christianity. Yeah, they might like the values. None of those values involve actually believing in God. I mean, can you imagine if you asked any of them about how the world was made? All they'd be doing is thinking of the headline that X believes that, lol, the world was made by God. Come on, everyone knows that evolution is how. was Big Bang and then there was this apparently Charles Darwin tells us, you know, one of the greatest Britons as named by the BBC, so it must be true, They wouldn't go there, they just couldn't cope with it. Oh a hundred percent. I had Eric Metaxas on once talking about the death of atheism and it's a phenomenal book going into the none of this can be luck and chance, none of it, the complexity of, the world. Just a quick question, what about push back on you because you're not supposed to have a series on the Psalms on your channel, that's just not done here. Kind of what pushback, have people say, James, get back to discussing COVID the last three years. Oh, it's no, no, do you know what? I don't get much of that. I get more, I get the occasional commentator, who has clearly been following me for a very long time in my, in my normie phase where I believed in things like the war on terror stuff. And they're looking at me now and thinking this guy has lost the plot. He thinks it's a conspiracy and what's more, he thinks the devil's kind of running the show. He needs to, you know, hasn't he read any history books? Surely he knows that it was the North Vietnamese that started the Vietnam War, you know, with their... Torpedo boat attack on the U.S. fleet. So their reference points are reference points of those trapped in the beast system. All the history books are written for the devil's party. All the politicians work for the devil's party. It's everywhere. Look, it says in 2 Corinthians, doesn't it? That Satan is the god of this world. And unless and until you understand that. You are missing the biggest piece in the jigsaw. You're never going to get it. You can be right about vaccines, that they're bad for you, and you can be right about the importance of bodily autonomy and stuff. You stand up all these principal things, but until you understand that this is a war between good and evil, which has taken place since the beginning of our time on this earth, you really don't get it at all, frankly.  100 percent. That is the piece of the jigsaw people have to get to understand everything else. James, I appreciate you coming on. As I said at the beginning, I've been wanting to have this conversation with you and unpacking, so thanks so much for coming along and sharing your story with us.  Well thank you very much, I really enjoyed talking about it, part of my holy mission from God.  Thank you, I think the last guest you had on the Delingpod, just for the viewers and listeners that haven't seen, I think was Abi Roberts. And we had her on after she got arrested for swearing, and Abi is a force of nature, so if people want to catch the latest one, it is Abi Roberts on the Delingpod, everywhere and anywhere. So, James, thanks so much for your time today.  Thanks, Peter.

Alistair is an outstanding comedian who used to be a commercially successful comedian.  He is still an outstanding comedian and also a deeply successful human being and a committed Christian.He was canceled by the comedy establishment for using comedy to unite people; a dangerous pastime that saw him turned into an outsider in an industry that had previously lauded him.In this fun, serious and fun again interview Ben and Alistair talk about cultural trojan horses, living a great life in a fallen world, and taking the elevator just before the Anti-Christ really turns up the thumbscrews. They poke fun at radical feminism, and the trans movement, and get into why dinosaurs are sold so heavily to children.You can find and support Alistair at https://rumble.com/user/alistairwilliams and check out his clothing and merchandise at https://www.godsavethestream17.com/.  If you like what you hear or see join The Wake Up Mailing List at www.thewakeupmovement.co.uk

I invited Alistair Williams on my podcast because I had seen some clips of him, most famous was his video about Brexit and Burger King. His self anointed title as the most censored comedian on the internet was also intriguing to me, as anyone who watches this show will know, I do like to address things that nobody wants to talk about.  Instead of a light hearted chat with a comedian I got something rather different. A full hour of rants about God and conspiracy theories - right up my street :D https://mobile.twitter.com/awilliamscomedy  You can listen to the show on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5AYWZh12d92D4PDASG4McB?si=5835f2cf172d47cd&nd=1  Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chatter/id1273192590  Google Podcasts - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5wb2RpYW50LmNvL2NoYXR0ZXIvcnNzLnhtbA  And all major podcast platforms.  Watch Us On Odysee.com - https://odysee.com/$/invite/@TheJist:4   Sign up and watch videos to earn crypto-currency!  Buy Brexit: The Establishment Civil War - https://amzn.to/39XXVjq  Mailing List - https://www.getrevue.co/profile/thejist  Twitter - https://twitter.com/Give_Me_TheJist  Website - https://thejist.co.uk/  Music from Just Jim – https://soundcloud.com/justjim 

The comedy scene has long been subject to the same controlling factors as the music business. Both have been defanged and neutered, and only those artists deemed “safe” who tow the official line on everything are allowed to break through to mainstream prominence. Anyone not playing ball with Organised Society "woke" agendas, is censored, banned, de-platformed and banished into obscurity.Here to shed some further light on this dynamic is ‘awake' - and cancelled - stand-up comedian Alistair Williams.

This episode we talk to comedy lone wolf Alistair Williams. Al has a fascinating story to tell about his brush with comedy's thought police. He took it right to the limit, sharing a stage with a certain Nigel Farage. Luckily he's lived to tell a fascinating tale. We also look at Trump, Extinction Rebellion and gender fluidity. And of course there's the crucial question of who'd win in a fight between Jo Swinson and Priti Patel.

Eating healthy and the benefits of salt on chocolate ice cream were among the topics of conversation when Sam met comedian and presenter Alistair Williams on this week's show. There was also a question of whether or not Mother Theresa was a vegetarian. The headlines brought us the idea of dwelling in London’s latest phallus shaped skyscraper and a dodgy Halloween outfit.
