This man is pure gold.... Don't judge him until you give his KZclip channel an honest listen. Intelligent and brave, and delivers his hard honesty with humor... One of the very few sensible voices our there at the moment.
@My Garden Zen sounds like you lack the capacity to understand him, which is strange because his target audience is literally everyone. He tries not to ostracise any listeners.
@tony growley claim? You do realise you can see how many subscribers channels have you muppet. He has 5.85 I just went and checked for the last comment. Also as for your "claim" of 100k views, his latest videos all have more than that, any video older than a couple days has 500-1.3m views. And what about any of these numbers "doesn't add up" when the planet has 7b and US 300m, you make absolutely no sense, nothing you are saying is adding up.
Russell is a hero. As a 53 year old ‘traditional’ man I couldn’t stand this guy, because I judged and pigeon-holed him. Now I challenge other figures in the public eye to stand up and start representing the people like Russell Brand is, instead of hiding behind your safe position, raking in money and ego boosting fame from a 100% corrupt system. This man has out everything on the line for US, because he is real. ❤️💪🏻
@vinny He insulted Cameron and Farage and others in this interview so your telling lies or you never heard it or just did not want to hear it to suit your agenda
@russell oliver because he has money and therefore access to decent legal representation. He doesn't present anything without providing sources, he has been flagged and videos have been removed but he isn't cancelled because he doesn't directly breach KZclips standards.
This interview is 8 years old. He was right then and he’s even more right now. He was warning back then against society sleepwalking down the hole those in power have carved out for the masses, and the majority continue to glibly tumble headfirst down it.
Russell is a national treasure. I must admit I used to hate him as a celebrity but since following his KZclip channel he has become such a wealth and resource to me of knowledge. Thank you Russell
I love Russell brand. I never miss an upload. Highly intelligent. Mind broadening context. He teaches us to look outside the box. Wasn't always a fan, then happened upon a video last year and was blown away. Keep it up Russell
Reading the comments here is hilarious. None of you must listen to Russell on KZclip everyday. In fact I will tell you I absolutely hated Russell Brand. Now, I think he is one of the beacons of free and fair information. He is intelligent, informative and cares about the world he lives in. If you don't watch his analysis on global politics, you're missing out. He is brilliant.
Same. I couldn’t stand him years before. Pretty much wrote him off as an oversexed junkie. Now still slightly annoyed at his overly enthusiastic delivery but cannot deny he has some brilliant observations and is far more intelligent than I had suspected.
I think Russell Brand is fantastic! He knows what’s going on and can explain and relay the information like no one else I’ve seen. Thank goodness for you Russell Brand!
What a funny, energetic performance Russell gave and as usual, speaking volumes of wisdom. Thank you Jonathan for giving him space to get this message out there
When I was a young adult, I couldn't stand Russell Brand, but these days I consider him one of the most piercing, intelligent, and hilarious voices speaking to contemporary social and political issues. His podcast is brilliant.
Seeing the transformation of this guy from when he was just famous to how he is now, it's very inspirational. He truely seems free of his demons now, his soul completely healed. May you and I both find similar healing!
I am totally mesmerized by this man!!!!! He says everything that’s really going on, but doesn’t lead you to any particular direction leaves that up to the listener. He does keep me laughing and I need that so much!! That need to laugh is something that I need in my daily diet as much as protein! To you Mr. Brandt you are a shiny morsel to a bling deprived society. I am truly grateful for ur generosity, and ur accent! Lol
Agreed russell brand is very funny and that is very much needed at the present time. But the idea that "he leaves it up to the listener" i really can't stomach. He simply says that when it's convenient but at other times (usually if it's not something he'll get censored over) he goes very much in depth with what he thinks. Also even if he simply repeated information and never gave an opinion, there can be a massive issue with selection bias (choosing to omit some sources and emphasise others to accommodate a pre-existing narrative, which the viewer would never find out about). It'd be much better if he simply said.."in my videos I am putting forward my opinion", so people can then balance it against other people's opinions.
I was indifferent to Russell before watching his channel, I didn't hate or like him. Now I love the heck out of this fellow, he is reporting intelligently on all of the things MSM is afraid to broadcast on TV. Yes there are articles on everything, but none of it gets airtime, none of it get spread to the masses. Brand is spreading this stuff like omicron and it's amazing!
Russell...you are the best source of factual information for the last year or more. Thanks for spreading the word. Here's hoping more and more people are waking up to what's really going on in the world 🤞. Some days...I just feel like crying...it's all gone crazy...but I'm keeping the faith. Stay Free xx
The sooner people realise that what Russell saying is not a conspiracy, no matter how much our media say it is...the sooner we can start to change things..
I haven't seen British TV in some years now. And I really love what Russell Brand has become. I am a loyal follower of his YT channel since I discovered it.
Well done Johnathan for bringing Russell on. He is one of the few artists in this world that is brave enough to stand up and speak. Once upon a time it was the artists that challenged the mainstream rhetoric. Agree or not, not many artists are questioning or challenging the status quo.
Who ISN'T fed up with the current state of "democracy"?? Also, the man is wonderful, intelligent, transparent about his sources, and states his personal opinions while leaving the conversation open for FREEDOM OF THOUGHT/CRITICAL THINKING. In other words? The world could use a lot more people like him.
I love how this video has resurfaced because Russel brand is producing absolute gold. He’s becoming a true philosopher of the modern world. He’s trending and people know it.
Russell is a breath of fresh air in this world. He speaks truths. That’s probably why he was gaslighted by the not so independent “Independent” recently.
Brandy Snap Yep? You just said an anti vaxxer was someone with no medical knowledge. My doctor has 40 years of being a GP. How much medical knowledge do you have? Maybe you're the one who's the conspiracy theorist here eh! 😊 Anyway take care, be happy, and, as Russell himselg says "stay free" (if you want).
Russell is such a breath of fresh air. This guy is one of the most good hearted intelligent people I gave listened to and he is helping us all wake up.
Russell Brand is absolutely brilliant, he is a genuine soul, trying his best for people to learn the truth through his You Tube Channel, his book etc... I thoroughly recommend it to the legions of individuals totally gaslit by the media and the people in power...
I love Russell, brilliant and spot on! I happen to adore his character and energy..but I'm weird and happen to think weird people make the world far more interesting. He really understands the situation for exactly what it is..in complete need of a total remake.
I'm so glad to see RB channel his energies into exposing the hypocrisy & betrayal from our so called leaders. He is a great example of a someone who's lived the high life but didn't compromise themselves. Good on you Russel.
Who thought a comedian would be the one to speak more truth and reality than all the news media in the country? Sounds ridiculous, but it's very true, in Russell's case.
Russell is putting that brilliant brain to work since he learned how to love himself!! He’s so much useful to society this way! I’m happy to see it. Not that he has any obligation of serve it, but it’s appreciated. Plenty of what he says is outright true. Specially the part of not having leaders worth to believe in.
I don't know why but the part about choice, alternative options and that the big man doesn't allow us to think that there is an alternative almost made me cry. Thank you Russell for spreading awareness!
You know what’s really sad ? Is that I feel like saying to Russell “ Be careful Mate. “ So sad that Russell speaking the truth makes Me feel that He needs to be careful Because they do not like people with as much of a following or with as much support as Brand has to be out there speaking The Truth and helping to wake up more & more people and to give those/Us people the belief in themselves that We can make The Change this world desperately needs, still . But The Truth is that We can do it and it literally starts with You . 🙏
ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY CORRECT!! I watch his channel every day. He is super smart & insightful, & he does his research to make sure accurate info gets out. He sounds like a nut but everything he is saying is 100% accurate. It's only been in the past few years that more people are starting to wake up to reality & it's in large part bc of people like Russell who make sure good info gets out. But then of course they are labeled a conspiracy theorist by the powers that be 🙄
When you look at all the greatest comedians of all time, they evolved into free thinking orators who deliver nuggets of gold that get you questioning, discussing and consuming knowledge. If it were delivered by your teacher in school, you'd most likely gloss over it, forget about it and go on with your day dreading the next class. But add in humor, intellect and a spice of charisma and you have someone whose not only impactful, but also very right and has you wanting more. Case in point Dave Chappelle, the GOAT.
Love Russell!! What a great thing he’s using his platform to try and share what’s going on. His channel offers open minded conversation, fact based discussions and professional opinions weighing in on delicate matters. He is very articulate and funny on top of it. It’s a relief to see somebody like him speaking out!
I listen to Russell every day on KZclip. He is a voice for truth and reason in the midst of the current woke insanity. I thought this wokeness was confined to the US, but this morning I heard that the works of Jane Austin have been excluded in some schools in Europe.
@David Cottle I will always hate Brand with a vengeance and to be honest there is absolutely nothing you or anyone else could say that will change my mind. Bottom line Brand only changed tack from woke lefty to his new persona of truth teller lol to get the attention he so desperately craves. Ps if you have thirty minutes to spare i recommend you watch Drrandomercam's excellent piece called when rustle met brand.
@john lewis have you even watched his KZclip channel? and his been talking about the same stuff for over twenty years trust me watch his channel I used to hate the bloke with a vengeance now I think his one of the most important people on the internet to listen to trust me
5 million maybe but very few if any among we the traditional working class. Indeed Russell as always been a joke to us mainly because we know a attention seeking narcissist when we see one
I love how he doesn't censor himself on TV to satisfy the cult. I never used to like him years ago but since he has devoted his time to his KZclip channel he is fully awake and proud and trying to help us all. people don't realise what this gem of a man is trying to do..
One of the most brilliant minds today! He is shaping a new world and doing so with humor, sarcasm and a light hearted way about him. If you watch his youtube channel you know he is an amazing human! Wishing all the best of success to him as he raises awareness and the collective vibration!
He's woken up. Period. The fact that his voice is heard more due to celebrity status and he's using it for the good of the collective is just amazing. Love his youtube and podcasts and would absolutely vote for him.....If i voted.
I start to get pretty choked up whenever they start to talk about the dog...😢 But then he usually brings me out of it with the "...better overthrow the government" punchline. Thanks for that. I found out a couple months later that he lost his cat right around the same time my doggie got run over in the fall of 2020. 😥
It's funny how different he is than in the videos in his own channel. He really plays a character but still speaks the truth. Talking so fast I'm glad for subtitles as a non native. 😄
Used to hate Russell, then my girlfriend made me watch a stand up show and I quickly realised how intelligent he was and now his podcast has took the world by storm good on him spitting some truths!
I love Russel Brand! Too bad this world doesnt have more people like him!!!!!!!! His language skills are crazy! When intelligence meets a heart full of love and goodness in one person! I stil hope to see him back in Hollywood
@Aaron Carter "Presenting cited facts" does not mean they are absolved from being wrong/ right. Choosing which cited facts to present while ignoring others, or emphasising certain cited facts over others is called selection bias and is what the mainstream media have been doing for decades, as a way of having plausible deniability about being biased. Unfortunately a youtuber/ podcaster is just as susceptible to doing this as the mainstream media.
Never a dull moment when Russell is on. Love him, his sense of humour and he makes more sense than anyone in Parliament in any country. I'm Canadian and listen to Russell to hear his perspective of what's going on in the world. Thank you Russell!
I didn’t even understand the tape I listened to today. But it was still hilarious. I have been listening to Russell Brand for a few months now. I love him💕
Well done BBC for putting this to the masses. Might think about getting a license even tho I only watch it on my phone Russel you’re just getting more genius each year ❤️
Love Russell’s ability to talk about complex issues on his channel but then to go on a show like this and still bring the laughs and get people interested in what he’s saying.
It's a difficult and contradictory path, (although I can understand his pragmatic reasons for doing it, and do not begrudge him) but he's got to be careful he doesn't end up, one of the numerous people 'Whole of the Moon' could have been written about.
He really has to take all that energy, passion, ideas, charisma and intelligence and form a political movement. Time for real change, we need to overhaul so much the societal malaise, gross mass consumerism, abusive technology and oppressive political and corporate power. Time for a revolution.
Right years ago. Russel was ahead of the times and didn't realize how big of a role he would play in our future. I appreciate this older video to be honest.
Been binging on Russell Brand's videos recently, and it's like my thoughts and opinion became its own person and it's this guy... most of the time. What makes his messaging really effective, especially when tackling sensitive topics, is his mix of humor and facts and rapid delivery. It's like getting you fired up and just before you reach boiling point you're doused with water to cool you off a bit, and it goes on and on for 10... 15 minutes. I don't necessarily agree with all his statements, but most of it are factual and on point. It's good to have someone this visible talk about real issues, who's unapologetic and frank. Although, I say this, not voting won't affect the change you want. If you're not presented with any good alternatives, pick the ones that closely aligns with the values and issues that concerns you. Because the consequences are real and can be severe and have lasting effects. Just look at what's happening in the States. Consequences of 2016 still impacting the country now. Exercise your right to vote, because sometimes, aside from running for office yourself to affect change, that's your only option.
True, and he hasn't been on a chat show since! You do know this is not a new interview but many years ago. The proof is in the non grey beard you know. This was the time he was still very much in the limelight and world of media and films.
"this charity shop is not going to solve the mental health problems that I can see in this room, just my own personal ones, selling a few porcelain figures and a couple of dish cloths. It's going to take a lot more than that to deal with my bloody mental illness". Brilliant
People need to watch his videos of more recent for sure, this guy is brilliant, this was in 2014 and since then has taken a different and much more effective approach to his endeavours
@Rob ok, go onto his channel and click on the videos tab, then scroll down about 2 years and look at ANY of his videos after that point, cause I'd say about 85% of them since then have either been disproven conspiracy theories or him actually saying something correct but using outrage and clickbait that conforms with right-wing propaganda to get the sheeple to watch it. Not that you care about my answer, you just want to annoy me, I know the tactics.
@haggler holy crap dude. I don't watch any right wing stations. Why don't you get into specifics? You said he lies? Post links to his videos where he "lies" and specify the lies so we don't miss them. It should be easy since you proclaim he lies all the time. Right wing conspiracies? Like Hunter Biden's laptop? Lol. Good luck with your self-awareness issue.
@haggler You seem to have very selective hearing, considering he is blatantly advocating breaking up big business, high taxes on elites, and a generally socialist/left wing view of governance. But ok, just because he'll discuss issues you have pegged as "right wing" instead of ignoring them, even when they're valid and have a massive effect on the working class, who the Left is supposed to advocate for, you're writing him off. This is absurd. Russell is an old school leftist, but the new left is so preoccupied with dominating what topics can or cannot be discussed that they do not recognize this, and as such they are becoming more of an advocate for elite driven politics than for anything resembling a dissonant voice for the people. Russell understands this paradigm shift and has put his reputation at risk in a culture where reputation and being deemed 'correct' by the mainstream is your primary tech access currency. That is brave. He is also too new age/lefty for the right and too open to dialogue for the left - his audience are people who do not fit easily into the current partisan paradigm. The fact that your critique of him is that he's a sellout for the right tells me you're currently incapable of recognizing that a worldview apart from your own mainstream one might not be conveniently categorized as from the opposite side of the aisle to you. You're thinking in binaries while there are some like Russell who are thinking more broadly than that and deserve to be weighed as such.
Russel brand is very informed and on point with his sources and reporting. A million times better than main stream news. I listen to him all the time. He is very passionate about making the world a better place for everyone.
This man is pure gold.... Don't judge him until you give his KZclip channel an honest listen. Intelligent and brave, and delivers his hard honesty with humor... One of the very few sensible voices our there at the moment.
@My Garden Zen sounds like you lack the capacity to understand him, which is strange because his target audience is literally everyone. He tries not to ostracise any listeners.
@tony growley claim? You do realise you can see how many subscribers channels have you muppet.
He has 5.85 I just went and checked for the last comment.
Also as for your "claim" of 100k views, his latest videos all have more than that, any video older than a couple days has 500-1.3m views.
And what about any of these numbers "doesn't add up" when the planet has 7b and US 300m, you make absolutely no sense, nothing you are saying is adding up.
@Just Prospecting Like I said that is his claim, but there is no proof.
Never in a million years did i think I'd listen to Russell Brand everyday on KZclip. Today, Russell talks more sense and truth than the legacy media.
@Sapphire shells Of course, anyone who thinks a bit differently than you, it must mean his thinking is a bit off, not yours :P
Russell is a hero. As a 53 year old ‘traditional’ man I couldn’t stand this guy, because I judged and pigeon-holed him. Now I challenge other figures in the public eye to stand up and start representing the people like Russell Brand is, instead of hiding behind your safe position, raking in money and ego boosting fame from a 100% corrupt system.

@russell oliver because he has money and therefore access to decent legal representation. He doesn't present anything without providing sources, he has been flagged and videos have been removed but he isn't cancelled because he doesn't directly breach KZclips standards.
Lets make him the New P.M. and support the Brand New System Party he will create ??
Regardless of Russell himself, the fact that you admit that you were able to change your opinion should be applauded and I really appreciate it!
This interview is 8 years old. He was right then and he’s even more right now. He was warning back then against society sleepwalking down the hole those in power have carved out for the masses, and the majority continue to glibly tumble headfirst down it.
@Thomas Davies it is.

Patting Russell on the back for talking is a waste of time. YOU have to DO something. Something to help YOUR own situation.

He is amazing. Been a fan 20 years. Met him twice and had a cuddle.
He's amazing in a very squirmy excited way. I love Russell brand I do 😁😁❤️❤️
@nico Nine Ridiculous proposition. Why is being happy the opposite of being right? I suggest most people are happy when they are right
I think Russell Brand is fantastic! He knows what’s going on and can explain and relay the information like no one else I’ve seen. Thank goodness for you Russell Brand!
Patting Russell on the back for talking is a waste of time.

It’s interesting to watch him “put on his “persona” for the audience… he’s really quite brilliant. One of the great voices of our time.

The sooner people realise that what Russell saying is not a conspiracy, no matter how much our media say it is...the sooner we can start to change things..
For me being a South American these is just common sense...
All conspiracy theorists need to be treated with the scented wood bark treatment along with fish bone implants in their eyes
Russell brand is to wake many into another inception.... shout out to the woke woke not just the woke 🤯
I haven't seen British TV in some years now. And I really love what Russell Brand has become. I am a loyal follower of his YT channel since I discovered it.
Well done Johnathan for bringing Russell on. He is one of the few artists in this world that is brave enough to stand up and speak.

@Angie Metcalfe yeah I'm not sure what's going on... I'm willing to bet a lot of the traffic in comment sections here is from bots though.
It's eight years old

Also, the man is wonderful, intelligent, transparent about his sources, and states his personal opinions while leaving the conversation open for FREEDOM OF THOUGHT/CRITICAL THINKING. In other words?

@tony growley he's just another person, and we need as many people talking about this bullshit as possible so, very much not a waste :)
Patting Russell on the back for talking is a waste of time.
I love how this video has resurfaced because Russel brand is producing absolute gold. He’s becoming a true philosopher of the modern world. He’s trending and people know it.
Russell is a real good man who cares for all. I wish there were many humans like him 😘
Russell is a breath of fresh air in this world. He speaks truths. That’s probably why he was gaslighted by the not so independent “Independent” recently.
Brandy Snap Yep? You just said an anti vaxxer was someone with no medical knowledge. My doctor has 40 years of being a GP. How much medical knowledge do you have? Maybe you're the one who's the conspiracy theorist here eh! 😊 Anyway take care, be happy, and, as Russell himselg says "stay free" (if you want).
Does that make him "anti -vax"?
Russell is such a breath of fresh air. This guy is one of the most good hearted intelligent people I gave listened to and he is helping us all wake up.
Amazing as always !
Russel is incredibly intelligent and funny at the same time 😂
Wasn't a fan of Russel, but in The last year I definitely am, he's speaking the truth where others fear to tread
Never stop just being you. You’re part of what this world needs ♥️♥️
A revolution is not a scary thing, it is a beautiful thing. Russell Brand
Russell Brand is absolutely brilliant, he is a genuine soul, trying his best for people to learn the truth through his You Tube Channel, his book etc... I thoroughly recommend it to the legions of individuals totally gaslit by the media and the people in power...
@Chris Bingham Give him another chance Chris. He’s the real deal, and that’s rare these days.
@Chris Bingham you have to grow up someday man. Kids aint going to change if adults dont.
@Deity He is. When people get their aha moments, I wish I would be there and say, I told you so.
RB is a good man...a good brotha
@Robert Brown He reads them for us so we dont have to find them. We can simply find them through him.
I'm happy to see Jonathan Ross having Russel Brand on his show.
Russell has one of the best KZclip channels around. It is surprisingly one of the most honest sources of information around.
I love Russell, brilliant and spot on! I happen to adore his character and energy..but I'm weird and happen to think weird people make the world far more interesting. He really understands the situation for exactly what it is..in complete need of a total remake.
I'm so glad to see RB channel his energies into exposing the hypocrisy & betrayal from our so called leaders. He is a great example of a someone who's lived the high life but didn't compromise themselves. Good on you Russel.
I go order his book in the bookstore here in Belgium, truth and humor, what do you need more. Thank you Brand to make my day (s).
Who thought a comedian would be the one to speak more truth and reality than all the news media in the country?
Sounds ridiculous, but it's very true, in Russell's case.
Shakespeare used the fool to portray deep wisdom ignored by kings. I'm thinking of King Lear.
@Questionable Absanity he really isnt , if you look into who sponsored him into power.
The best comedians speak the most truth.
Russell is putting that brilliant brain to work since he learned how to love himself!! He’s so much useful to society this way! I’m happy to see it. Not that he has any obligation of serve it, but it’s appreciated.
Plenty of what he says is outright true. Specially the part of not having leaders worth to believe in.
I love Russell Brand, he is brilliant. He is the only news I listen to!
Always a delight listening to Russel Brand. Brilliant as always.
I don't know why but the part about choice, alternative options and that the big man doesn't allow us to think that there is an alternative almost made me cry. Thank you Russell for spreading awareness!
Russell is awesome, he's saying what we're all thinking.
Russel speaks more truth in a minute than a politician or media does in a lifetime!
cats have any Arguments, 🐑?
I have ADHD and I think in Russell Brand. But I couldn’t ever SPEAK in Russell Brand.
You know what’s really sad ?
Is that I feel like saying to Russell
“ Be careful Mate. “
So sad that Russell speaking the truth makes Me feel that He needs to be careful
Because they do not like people with as much of a following or with as much support as Brand has to be out there speaking The Truth and helping to wake up more & more people
and to give those/Us people the belief in themselves that We can make The Change this world desperately needs, still .
But The Truth is that We can do it and it literally starts with You . 🙏
in a lifetime... or if ever.
Phenomenal. Shame I didn’t take notice of Russell Brand before. He’s righteous in his own way.
To be this brilliant, talented, gorgeous, and with a huge heart who cares deeply for humanity. We are so lucky to have him.
Thanks so much Russel you’re a real breath of fresh air in a stale situation Congratulations on the 12 years you got the easy ones out of the way.
ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY CORRECT!! I watch his channel every day. He is super smart & insightful, & he does his research to make sure accurate info gets out. He sounds like a nut but everything he is saying is 100% accurate. It's only been in the past few years that more people are starting to wake up to reality & it's in large part bc of people like Russell who make sure good info gets out. But then of course they are labeled a conspiracy theorist by the powers that be 🙄
When you look at all the greatest comedians of all time, they evolved into free thinking orators who deliver nuggets of gold that get you questioning, discussing and consuming knowledge. If it were delivered by your teacher in school, you'd most likely gloss over it, forget about it and go on with your day dreading the next class. But add in humor, intellect and a spice of charisma and you have someone whose not only impactful, but also very right and has you wanting more. Case in point Dave Chappelle, the GOAT.
Russell is brilliant. His brain fires so fast his mouth sometimes struggles to keep up, but his voice is worth hearing. His message is truth.
Legend. Brave and intelligent talk from Russel.
So fun watching this in 2022. Russel is such a legend and on the best journey!!!
Pretty much everything Russel is saying makes perfect sense. Kudos to him.
Love Russell!! What a great thing he’s using his platform to try and share what’s going on. His channel offers open minded conversation, fact based discussions and professional opinions weighing in on delicate matters. He is very articulate and funny on top of it. It’s a relief to see somebody like him speaking out!
I listen to Russell every day on KZclip. He is a voice for truth and reason in the midst of the current woke insanity. I thought this wokeness was confined to the US, but this morning I heard that the works of Jane Austin have been excluded in some schools in Europe.
Love Russel. So glad he has truly found his voice and that 5 million viewers are enjoying his journey with him.

@David Cottle I will always hate Brand with a vengeance and to be honest there is absolutely nothing you or anyone else could say that will change my mind. Bottom line Brand only changed tack from woke lefty to his new persona of truth teller lol to get the attention he so desperately craves. Ps if you have thirty minutes to spare i recommend you watch Drrandomercam's excellent piece called when rustle met brand.
@john lewis have you even watched his KZclip channel? and his been talking about the same stuff for over twenty years trust me watch his channel I used to hate the bloke with a vengeance now I think his one of the most important people on the internet to listen to trust me
💗 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗Russell no bath 🛁 needed. 👌💃💃
5 million maybe but very few if any among we the traditional working class. Indeed Russell as always been a joke to us mainly because we know a attention seeking narcissist when we see one
I could watch this all day. So much truth to get out.
Thank you Russell.
BRAVO !!!!!!
I love how he doesn't censor himself on TV to satisfy the cult. I never used to like him years ago but since he has devoted his time to his KZclip channel he is fully awake and proud and trying to help us all. people don't realise what this gem of a man is trying to do..
this man is the perfect example of the phrase: "there is a fine line between genius and insanity" He is crazy in the best way.
Dudes brilliant and runs a great podcast. People like him and Joe Rogan are very much needed in this world.
One of the most brilliant minds today! He is shaping a new world and doing so with humor, sarcasm and a light hearted way about him. If you watch his youtube channel you know he is an amazing human!
Wishing all the best of success to him as he raises awareness and the collective vibration!
He's woken up. Period. The fact that his voice is heard more due to celebrity status and he's using it for the good of the collective is just amazing. Love his youtube and podcasts and would absolutely vote for him.....If i voted.
@Art M *☝️Thanks for watching”ensure you like and share! Get me contacted with the above digits for more enlightenment🎉..*
I start to get pretty choked up whenever they start to talk about the dog...😢 But then he usually brings me out of it with the "...better overthrow the government" punchline. Thanks for that. I found out a couple months later that he lost his cat right around the same time my doggie got run over in the fall of 2020. 😥
It's funny how different he is than in the videos in his own channel. He really plays a character but still speaks the truth. Talking so fast I'm glad for subtitles as a non native. 😄
Used to hate Russell, then my girlfriend made me watch a stand up show and I quickly realised how intelligent he was and now his podcast has took the world by storm good on him spitting some truths!
Expressions on Jon's face are priceless as Russell completely took over with common sense and truth. Osvabadi Ykrainy 🇺🇦
I love Russel Brand! Too bad this world doesnt have more people like him!!!!!!!! His language skills are crazy! When intelligence meets a heart full of love and goodness in one person! I stil hope to see him back in Hollywood
Five and a half million people can't be wrong watching Russell's podcast.
@TheBfair21 that’s because you ain’t a Pommie Rory ,if that’s your real name😂👍
@gotalifeanditsmine and in English!!!!!?
@Aaron Carter "Presenting cited facts" does not mean they are absolved from being wrong/ right. Choosing which cited facts to present while ignoring others, or emphasising certain cited facts over others is called selection bias and is what the mainstream media have been doing for decades, as a way of having plausible deniability about being biased. Unfortunately a youtuber/ podcaster is just as susceptible to doing this as the mainstream media.
The worst logic i've ever heard.
I've re subscribed 3 times. Imagine his numbers without YT tampering
Russell is an absolute treasure!!
We love Russell..Funny and intelligent man..I hope they don’t kill him..
I could listen to Russell all day he makes so much sense!!! :-)
He is just amazing!! Intelligent, honest and very funny! He is a very important voice nowadays🙏🏻🙏🏻
My respect to the comedic debate Russell. Took the W🐐
Never a dull moment when Russell is on. Love him, his sense of humour and he makes more sense than anyone in Parliament in any country. I'm Canadian and listen to Russell to hear his perspective of what's going on in the world. Thank you Russell!
I didn’t even understand the tape I listened to today. But it was still hilarious. I have been listening to Russell Brand for a few months now. I love him💕
More canadians get their news and world events from Russell Brand...Jimmy Dore...Dr John Campbell.....Joe Rogan...its a sad sad world
I agree, he is absolutely fantastic. I watch him on KZclip everyday
Well done BBC for putting this to the masses. Might think about getting a license even tho I only watch it on my phone
Russel you’re just getting more genius each year ❤️
Known both Jonathon and Russel for a long time. Good job both of you.
Russell is just brilliant watching his KZclip channel makes me understand lots of things about what is happening today
Hollywood broke him enough to wake up, love his KZclip episodes! Hilarious but true
Love Russell’s ability to talk about complex issues on his channel but then to go on a show like this and still bring the laughs and get people interested in what he’s saying.
It's a difficult and contradictory path, (although I can understand his pragmatic reasons for doing it, and do not begrudge him) but he's got to be careful he doesn't end up, one of the numerous people 'Whole of the Moon' could have been written about.
I mean, do you not realise that this was years and years ago? So no, he doesn't have that ability. Or at least, this video doesn't prove it.
This is a 100% on spot comment. Very well stated.
I think he’s soooooo funny. So even when I’m not clear on the subject matter, the tapes are still fun for me.
He also can shame his detractors and get us all to laugh at them. Very unique gift. Stays humble while doing it.
He really has to take all that energy, passion, ideas, charisma and intelligence and form a political movement. Time for real change, we need to overhaul so much the societal malaise, gross mass consumerism, abusive technology and oppressive political and corporate power. Time for a revolution.
Some of the most honest moments on television.
I love him,I didn't know he was a star or wrote a book,he is a generous lovely human,a genius
Right years ago. Russel was ahead of the times and didn't realize how big of a role he would play in our future. I appreciate this older video to be honest.
I watch him on KZclip, he is actually very balanced when he talks about any issue. Respect!
Lately, he has some questions.
Russel is one of the last honest content creators and entertainers.
He's changed imo. Like he needed a direction to grow into. And he's been phenomenal at that.
Great to see Russell on such good form as always. Great guy.🤍🌷🙋
Brand is on the ball and I hope more can follow and understand him
Been binging on Russell Brand's videos recently, and it's like my thoughts and opinion became its own person and it's this guy... most of the time.
What makes his messaging really effective, especially when tackling sensitive topics, is his mix of humor and facts and rapid delivery.
It's like getting you fired up and just before you reach boiling point you're doused with water to cool you off a bit, and it goes on and on for 10... 15 minutes.
I don't necessarily agree with all his statements, but most of it are factual and on point.
It's good to have someone this visible talk about real issues, who's unapologetic and frank.
Although, I say this, not voting won't affect the change you want. If you're not presented with any good alternatives, pick the ones that closely aligns with the values and issues that concerns you. Because the consequences are real and can be severe and have lasting effects. Just look at what's happening in the States. Consequences of 2016 still impacting the country now.
Exercise your right to vote, because sometimes, aside from running for office yourself to affect change, that's your only option.
Exactly his point were not really given any Option. Just take yourself out it
So happy he got this out on national television 👏👏👏 well done mate, slowly becoming a national treasure imo.
@Marks out of Zen its from 2015
True, and he hasn't been on a chat show since! You do know this is not a new interview but many years ago. The proof is in the non grey beard you know. This was the time he was still very much in the limelight and world of media and films.
And thanks to Johnathan Ross for the interview. Really enjoyed it 👍
Perhaps even an international treasure. I'm in the US and I try to catch everything he puts out on his YT channel.
"this charity shop is not going to solve the mental health problems that I can see in this room, just my own personal ones, selling a few porcelain figures and a couple of dish cloths. It's going to take a lot more than that to deal with my bloody mental illness".
Brilliant
People need to watch his videos of more recent for sure, this guy is brilliant, this was in 2014 and since then has taken a different and much more effective approach to his endeavours
This is brilliant 👏 Well done Russell 👍
Imagine if it were possible to have russel brand and George Carlin on staage simultaneously... 2 comedic geniuses speaking truth WITHOUT censorship...
Love Russell! He does so much research on the topics he speaks about :)
Fun to watch. I’m a fan of Russell’s current KZclip channel and this insight into his development is very interesting. He’s a gift.
@Rob ok, go onto his channel and click on the videos tab, then scroll down about 2 years and look at ANY of his videos after that point, cause I'd say about 85% of them since then have either been disproven conspiracy theories or him actually saying something correct but using outrage and clickbait that conforms with right-wing propaganda to get the sheeple to watch it.
Not that you care about my answer, you just want to annoy me, I know the tactics.
@haggler show me one report he has shared to his audience that is not truth
@haggler Thats not true. My family arent political and we love what he is saying, you arent paying attention.
@haggler holy crap dude. I don't watch any right wing stations. Why don't you get into specifics? You said he lies? Post links to his videos where he "lies" and specify the lies so we don't miss them. It should be easy since you proclaim he lies all the time. Right wing conspiracies? Like Hunter Biden's laptop? Lol. Good luck with your self-awareness issue.
@haggler You seem to have very selective hearing, considering he is blatantly advocating breaking up big business, high taxes on elites, and a generally socialist/left wing view of governance. But ok, just because he'll discuss issues you have pegged as "right wing" instead of ignoring them, even when they're valid and have a massive effect on the working class, who the Left is supposed to advocate for, you're writing him off. This is absurd.
Russell is an old school leftist, but the new left is so preoccupied with dominating what topics can or cannot be discussed that they do not recognize this, and as such they are becoming more of an advocate for elite driven politics than for anything resembling a dissonant voice for the people. Russell understands this paradigm shift and has put his reputation at risk in a culture where reputation and being deemed 'correct' by the mainstream is your primary tech access currency. That is brave. He is also too new age/lefty for the right and too open to dialogue for the left - his audience are people who do not fit easily into the current partisan paradigm. The fact that your critique of him is that he's a sellout for the right tells me you're currently incapable of recognizing that a worldview apart from your own mainstream one might not be conveniently categorized as from the opposite side of the aisle to you. You're thinking in binaries while there are some like Russell who are thinking more broadly than that and deserve to be weighed as such.
Russell examines the evidence & supports transparency and TRUTH. Authentic, intelligent and refreshing.
Russel brand is very informed and on point with his sources and reporting. A million times better than main stream news. I listen to him all the time. He is very passionate about making the world a better place for everyone.
Never thought I'd consider Brand a source of truth - but I do.
