Russell Brand is a former lefty who took the red pill and over time joined the great awakening. As an outcome of his current perspectives and influence, Brand is currently labeled a dissident threat and targeted by the globalist system.
Tucker Carlson invited Brand to appear on his broadcast for a discussion of the big picture amid the current era of information warfare. Brand is an eloquent voice who frames the arguments very clearly and quickly, thus his growing influence represented a threat to the system and a process of Lawfare attacks was launched against him. The British government then asked all Big Tech platforms to remove Brand from visibility. The only tech platform that refused to acquiesce to the Five-Eyes demand was Rumble.
This is a very good interview, well worth the 40 minutes of time.
.
Enjoy Russell Brand’s outlook which I never thought I’d say. I’m pretty burned out on Tucker’s innocent boy schtick though.
As a journalist, in an interview many times you might know the answer to the question, but you have to ask it for the viewer/reader. That’s his job. Just my opinion as a former journalist.
I was wondering how long it would take for someone to attack Tucker. One post……….I wish I could see what you are seeing with Tucker Carlson.
I’m seeing the same thing SD is seeing – where have y’all been? He’s a fake. He hates trump – literally can’t stand him but he pretends to tolerate him. How much confidence would you put in a duplicitous person like that?
I didn’t hear Tucker mention Trump. Russell did say the “past” and probable future President, meaning Trump and no one’s head exploded.
Just open your eyes and ears, lol. And sprinkle a bit of discernment over it all.
Tucker couldn’t keep up.
Some of Tuckers reactions confuse me.
Watch him…..sometimes his jaw drops as if in disbelief at what Brand is saying. Sometimes he stares at him like a small child in awe of his grandfather.
I’m trying to discern if these are reactions of truth…..because he is finally seeing parts of the issues, but because of his protected former life really does not understand what so many of us here in the Treehouse have come to understand.
Sometimes I am very skeptical of Tucker, because he was a fulsome part of the “the establishment”. Other times I look at him and think, really?, you are just seeing the truth with your own eyes? I like so many of our fellow treepers do not wish to be fooled again.
Having done some live interview work you usually mix the video after the interview.
We use to use one camera and set up to to do reaction shots first; agreement questioning, nonplussed, chuckle, then the scripted questions with appropriate facial expressions; inquizative, got you, confused or bemused disbeleif and always an eyeroll just incase… always without the subject there 60 minutes style.
Your telling a story and you lead the viewer through it. We were expressing truth. BUT you see the same technique used to Bludgen your subject.
If you ever wonder why some one didn’t get up and punch the Journolisto. It’s because they experience a different interview then the viewer.
Bro you don’t know me. Your assumptions of me are naive and founded in emotion not objectivity. If you knew the first thing about Tucker you’d be emvarrassed for having said what you just said. Get informed.
From 2018.
Watch and learn.
The standard is look at the “fruit” of his work, or what he is producing. You will never figure out a public figure.
I find Tucker brings issues and people to his interviews that I want to hear about.
Your reactions to his reactions are off by a mile and a half. Tucker reacts, but he is no fool. Tucker has been on this trajectory for years now.
““You look on in horror, helpless and desperate.
You have nowhere to go.
You’re trapped on a ship of fools.”
—From the Introduction
In Ship of Fools: How a Selfish Ruling Class is Bringing America to the Brink of Revolution, Tucker Carlson tells the truth about the new American elites, a group whose power and wealth has grown beyond imagination even as the rest of the country has withered. The people who run America now barely interact with it. They fly on their own planes, ski on their own mountains, watch sporting events far from the stands in sky boxes. They have total contempt for you.
“They view America the way a private equity firm sizes up an aging conglomerate,” Carlson writes, “as something outdated they can profit from. When it fails, they’re gone.”
In Ship of Fools, Tucker Carlson offers a blistering critique of our new overlords. Traditional liberals are gone, he writes. The patchouli-scented hand-wringers who worried about whales and defended free speech have been replaced by globalists who hide their hard-edged economic agenda behind the smokescreen of identity politics. They’ll outsource your job while lecturing you about transgender bathrooms. Left and right, Carlson says, are no longer meaningful categories in America. “The rift is between those who benefit from the status quo, and those who don’t.”
Our leaders are fools, Carlson concludes, “unaware that they are captains of a sinking ship.” But in the signature and witty style that viewers of Tucker Carlson Tonight have come to enjoy, his book answers the all-important question: How do we put the country back on course?”
I posted a speech from Tucker after he published that book, just above ..

I don’t recall who/where, but 1-2 months ago read how it is almost invariably members OF “the elites” who lead populist movements; after all, the Founders were all Men of property, …And DJT, Ross Perot, Tucker, Dr. Malone, Neil Oliver, Russell Brandt etc. none are men used to coming home with dirt under their fingernails, even though they “speak for the common man”.
Is it that only they can speak, or that only they can SEE what needs to be verbalised?
Dutch, you’ve raised an interesting but also a crucial question.
Instead of saying “elites”, can we substitute “people who are generally better-educated in classic liberal arts” than those who are not?
My reason is that IMHO the common thread running across all the people you listed is – their ability to see and perceive changes in culture and behavior, and then be able to identify causes of the observed changes, and finally an ability to clearly articulate (using generally-used parlance) all of the observed phenomena as well as the thoughts and conclusions reached after those observations.
That requires a level of intellect relatively higher than average, IMHO, and an exposure to studies of culture, human behavior, politics, economics, and literature. Anyone can observe things and say what they think they are seeing using the language and vocabulary they are used to using everyday. But that often fails to be understood accurately by a large number of readers or listeners.
We have seen short selfie videos of people ranting about current issues that also frustrate and anger us. We enjoy the street language sometimes used by those social media users but we also perceive the limits of their verbal self-expression that cause them to use salty language or revert back to less-precise generic words to describe their thoughts.
Another aspect is the breadth of experience in the person who opines on such weighty, national issues. That will affect our perceived credibility of the person making these observations.
Can “beer-drinking blue collar worker Joey Bagadonuts” get up on a podium and speak to millions and get all the points across that Russell Brand did? Maybe, but it depends on each person’s abilities of observation, deduction, and articulation. Plus, Joey hasn’t lived among the “elites” and seen them up close and personal so as to learn how and what they think.
By contrast, the somewhat affluent, educated people you listed above have at some point in their lives – maybe far more than a few times – related to working class (or lower classes) people and more than likely have a far better understanding of their perspectives than elites who they (the folks listed above) know but who have self-isolated from those outside of their social circles.
JMO. Your thoughts?
Are you surprised all you could find was a government job?
?? I never worked for the government. You must have me confused with someone else.
I heard this interview earlier this afternoon as soon as I got an email from TCN. Russell Brand has an amazing off-the-cuff vocabulary and ability to articulate abstract thoughts better than almost anyone I’ve heard in recent memory. He really characterizes every situation with deadly accuracy and the words he uses leaves no ambiguity or uncertainty in your interpretation.
It is no small wonder that UK globalist-aligned, corrupt officials and elites are desperate to silence Mr. Brand. He minces no words; and calls a spade a spade. He does not avoid names, and has a really broad arsenal of words and terms that he uses in his impromptu responses to Tucker’s questions. A very impressive man.
Dude…..I mean GB…..
You friggin nailed it ! saved me further typing….right on, right on,right on….
Thanks Clayton! I was really impressed by Brand.. I’ve listened to several of his videos and he’s always on high pitch high speed delivery, but this was better because Tucker drove the direction by his questions. I’m liking Tucker better with every new interview. He’s very respectful of his guests and his relaxed at-home demeanor elicits far more than “talking points” from them.
De Nada! Credit where credit is due!
Tucker unrestrained in his own sandbox is enjoyable and almost ALWAYS enlightening….even when he ventures into crazy town….but his instincts are incredibly accurate AND FOR ONCE I really enjoyed seeing him somewhat SPEECHLESS….no disrespect AT ALL…..I subscribed day one with TCN…..he was as much spellbound by RB as we are.
Brand is just on another level….!
That’s what I saw, Carlson slowing Brand down, bringing out clarity to what Brand wants to convey. Brand is an intellect but his solo Pod cast’s deliveries are too animated and fast to follow. Tucker did a good job. I now fully understand Brand. Brand would be more effective if he would slow down on what he has to deliver.
He packs a lot into every minute he speaks. I’ve had to slow down the playback speed to 0.75x a few times on his regular show when he gets really wound up. 😀
I don’t think he can slow down, literally don’t think he can lol
My ears perked up when he spoke of his son having heart surgery
Great point.
Agreed. He is respectful, unlike Sean Hannity, who is the rudest talk show host I have ever heard!
I would have to agree that Hannity is very rude, but even ruder are the “women” that host “The View”! No, I don’t watch it, but I’ve seen enough clips and quotes to see they have absolutely zero respect for anyone, including each other.
“Let me interrupt you right there!”
If you haven’t watched his Fox Nation long form interviews TCT, you have missed a lot. He has had close to 250 of them. Brand has been on with him before… he was as well spoken then. You may not have to agree with a man on everything in order to see his brilliance.
I did subscribe to Fox Nation to watch Bongino’s Friday Night show and then saw several TCT shows late in ’22 and the first 4 mos on ’23 before he was let go from Fox, but I don’t recall seeing him interview Russell Brand. I can well believe Brand has been fairly consistent over the past few years as he has experienced quite a “red pill” awakening.
Russell Brand was on Tucker Carlson Today two days in a row last year. Season 3, March 8th and 9th. Tucker found Brand so interesting he kept him over. They really hit it off.
I have saved every one of all the long format interviews. So many in depth personalities.
Great! Thanks for the links. Obvious I did not watch those episodes else I’d remember them. I was not a religious viewer of that show (or any show other than Bongino’s daily podcast).
I always watched and recorded the long format in depth interviews. You learned a lot about people.
My other go to is Dan Bongino’s podcast and 3 hours show that follows.

GB is always a good informative read like the Dutchman! JMO
Ah shucks you compliment me. Always enjoy GB.
😊
Bubby is right, you are always a great read, much watched for writer of replys.
😊
He doesn’t pretend.
👍👍
He’s a walking thesaurus – and I think having his own talk show has something to do with it. But damned if anyone can do it better than Brand. Wow
😁👍
That he IS !!
I think in keeping with our bro’s from across the pond, TC should try and get Ricky Gervais to sit and take the piss outta everybody ….Nigel Farage TOO….!
Being English has something to do with it.
GB … couldn’t agree more. Wow! That was the BEST 40min. of my life spent in a long while (except seeing my new granddaughter last weekend 😚) . I have always liked Brand’s frenetic, almost physical comedy because of how animated he is. But wow! I’m a laid-back Californian ma’aaaan … and my nerve synapses don’t fire off at half the pace of Brand’s … he is just rapid fire … and NONE of it vapid fire. There was so damn much packed in there, but let me pull out just a few bits that really resonated with me.
Government and Corporations – I’m 68 years young and for most of my life I’ve been a rock solid conservative … except thru some HS and college ‘hippie’ years … hey who said you don’t have a heart if you haven’t passed through that era in life? But, I grew up respecting our government … esp. our form of government … and … respecting corporations. Or more accurately respecting businesses. It is shocking to see how these entities have changed and have conspired to literally CRUSH the people. It’s not even a question to debate anymore. Governments and Corporations are working hand in glove to create a totalitarian dystopia where they TAKE all the POWER. I’m a hippie as I said … and it’s hard to believe but “Power to the People” sounds like a slogan now relegated to the 60’s. That generation is in POWER now … and they don’t want the people anywhere near it. Now, I loathe our entrenched Deep State government and want ALL corporations who do the bidding of government smashed to pieces. If anyone told me I’d say such a thing in 2024 … 30 years ago … I’d have called them nuts.
Compassionate Totalitarianism – Indeed, all the Fascist controls and stripping of basic human rights … were to “keep us safe”. But Brand missed one other nuance of that safety … we were told it wasn’t even about OUR individual safety … but OBEY or you put your neighbors safety at risk. Yes, we all were told to subjugate our individual rights … for the good of the collective. How utterly communist of our overlords. What a dastardly tactic.
Sexual promiscuity – Brand is being so very vulnerable and honest when he freely admits his hedonistic lifestyle. But he so accurately described it as empty and unfulfilling. I used to be heavily involved with a HS Christian Youth group. And always found it difficult to convincingly convey the message that sex outside a loving, committed relationship is just another ejaculation. That sex is best when it’s meaningful. There can be no better teacher of this human and Godly value than Brand. And to some degree … although the Lawyers may disagree … I believe Brand’s honesty about his lifestyle may ultimately disarm the OBVIOUSLY fabricated charges against him.
The urban elites HATE you hicks – To some degree, I live the same experience that Andrew Breitbart lived. No, I’m not in the Hollywooden belly of the beast … but in the Silicon Valley (Bay Area) belly of the beast. I’m surrounded by these high tech elites … and they HATE your guts. They mock and deride you. Say anything about Florida, Texas or the Deep South and they’ll roll their eyes as they make snide comments about the stupidity, poverty, and mal-educated hicks from flyover country. The people here honestly don’t believe you’re smart-enough to flush a toilet … iff’n youze even gotz one of dem.
God – How nice to hear Brand speak of God and his own spiritual awakening. He even referenced Tucker’s rather persistent contrast between those who dare to wield Totalitarian Power as believing themselves to be God -vs- humble people of the earth who fully understand there is One Living God … and we aren’t Him.
The globalist elites believe they hold all the Power and will continue to force their will upon us … but as Brand mentioned about his OWN persecution at the hands of the elites and their handmaidens (or Dame’s or whatever their Titles) … he acknowledged that The People he meets aren’t buying it whatsoever. That the MORE the cabal of Totalitarians conspire against him … the stronger he gets. The more popular he gets. Same with PDJT. For the first time in my life … I’m really seeing how David slew Goliath. That we little people have far MORE power than we know … because that Power comes from the Living God … thru our Living neighbors. Yes, I look forward to a mass Unification across Party lines. I believe it is HERE and NOW and the re-re-election of PDJT in a landslide event may be the first sign.
Oh my! So well said! 100% agree!
“Yes, I look forward to a mass Unification across Party lines”
Sadly, I think that we are way past that. My reality doesn’t see it. The personality of this country has been formed in the 1970’s by the anti-American/free love crowd for over 50 years. Remember “live and let live” gave us new sexual diseases, transgender teaching (drag shows for children), open borders where the Border Patrol are nothing more than intake personnel and a government career in corruption for the most powerful.
Just give up Jim. You’ve already thrown in the towel. or Instead trust God that He will bring us together! He’s the One in charge not the 1 %. Things can turn around very fast!
Now THAT’s a great ‘highlights’ review…
Well said, Kenji. Thanks!
Kenji, my list if favorites to watch for is growing. Thank you
This former Army Intel Analyst salutes you Kenji.
I had watched the TC-RB interview before reading your fascinating and spot on Sit Rep.
When it was over I thought to myself, “Doggone it… Trump is right again…we are uniting and coming together.”
I don’t really like this hackneyed expression … but … THANK YOU for your service. I almost feel like a freeloader … living the good life as a result of warriors like you … even if that’s being a cyber warrior. But I have paid my fair share of taxes as my “service” 😜
He thinks three paragraphs ahead.
yes, but I think he has the sentence fully formulated before he starts it. My mind doesnt work that fast and I am impressed by those whose minds do,
I am too Susan! I watch & listen somewhat in awe..
YES !!
Hahaha….listening to Brand was like watching somebody running an obstacle course or something……you’re on the edge of your seat not knowing how he’s gonna navigate each thought…..and he keeps GOING, and GOING….without any missteps….like it was almost too easy…..or maybe since it’s THE SEASON…..running flea flicker after double reverse, after screen pass, after flea flicker… Qback sneak……..🤪and TOUCHDOWN !!
🤣🤣👍
IMHO, I believe that’s what we are all here for — I always feel better reading the comments on these posts and gain much hope for the future.
Thank you, Treepers, for your insights, especially yours, GB.
🙂
I constantly bemoan the fact that I’m pretty damn good on paper/typing … but lacking in real-world dialogue.
Right!? The coherence, order, and information delivered in each rapid fire sentence is a marvel to behold.
Watching the video, I kept thinking of John the Baptist for some reason. Calling people to wake up and await something far greater that is coming.
Brand publicly professes no special attachment to religion, but I did note the cross on his neck, and his statement that IF there is a God, He would be setting up events and influencing people towards a catastrophe that is in fact an opportunity to return to properly centered individuality, community, and nationhood. But not without a fight.
Plus it’s refreshing to hear someone speak extemporaneously and eloquently employing a huge and varied vocabulary while showing and explaining connections among people, events and trends in a way that is both complex and easy to understand.
I was also amused by the contrasts in style and speech between Brand and Carlson. Brand is thoroughly English while Tucker is completely American thru and thru. Russel is a string quartet playing Elgar, Carlson is a brass band playing a Sousa march.
Great comment! I agree with all of your points. TY!
What an apt analogy between Brand and Tucker. But in all fairness … Tucker KNEW exactly who he was interviewing … a highly intelligent … self-winding watch. Tucker did a superb job in sitting back … waiting for an opening (which he chose with perfection) asking a simple direct question that fit the flow of Brand’s topics … and let his guest GO!
RB brings in a younger audience (Under 40) that desperately need to hear sense.
Very True!
Upvote x 1000
He’s also a comedian and actor. He starred in a very funny movie… Get Him to the Greek.
Yes. Also in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” (2008) he portrayed his hedonist character…
That film made me into a Brand fan … either he is a BRILLIANT ACTOR (he is) … or he was simply portraying his REAL life (maybe?). Loved him. That film wouldn’t exist without Brand
I really liked him in the title role of a wealthy alcoholic in Arthur (2011); he cleverly managed to avoid insulting Dudley Moore by not stinking it up.
I loved Dudley Moore (Arthur Bach) & Sir John Gielgud (as Hobson) so much that I refused to watch the RB remake for many years… I just didn’t think it possible for anyone else to do justice to the original I like so much. I have to give it to the casting people on this one… he’s a good match.
Not to say I like Russell Brand’s & Helen Mirren’s version better, I just think they did it differently enough and so well that I was very pleasantly astonished at liking it as much as I like the original. I also heard him talk about making that movie in an interview… he expressed affection & respect for Moore & Gielgud and for the original film, and I liked him for that too. { https://www.imdb.com/video/vi3369245977/ }
(it’s obvious he’s come a very long way since then)
Just a btw for that movie…
I also thought it was great to see Ralph Lauren’s real-life daughter in her real-life candy store (Arthur gets a job there, though doesn’t interact with her; she’s only on screen for about 5 seconds coming down the stairs, I think she’s uncredited)… Russell Brand really makes the most of that adventure – *so funny*.
Russell Brand is a major force and influencer.
I’m glad he’s decided to join us.
I’ll second that!
“… an amazing off-the-cuff vocabulary….” And how, coupled with a stream-of-consciousness delivery, o-60 in 2 seconds from a standing start, and going for several of miles at top speed.
🙂
You almost have to stop the interview, back it up a few seconds and re-listen to make sure you heard what you thought you heard….!
If there was any Lefty left in Brand up until his State media execution, all that remains now is his hippy dippy shaggy appearance. I guess the get-up is Brand’s “brand”.
If the purpose was to break him, they failed. Miserably.
👍👍
George Carlin comes to mind – Its a Big Club and we ain’t in it!
Rapid fire plain truth
I feel the same way
👍
Thank you, G I, from my perspective, you are spot on with your response. We need ALL voices to be loud and clear about the Good VS Evil we are up against! Brand and Carlson are clear on this.
😊
A standing ovation for you, Mr. GB Bari!!! Spot on! Spot on!
😊
Agree Nats1Mom! Glad I continued in these comments after reading the reprehensible Reprehensor vitriol.
Exactly this, and very well said GB.
Thank you, Sundance.
Tucker is still stumping away isn’t he? What a “table” “desk” you have there grandma.
Gives news desk a whole new meaning.
Actually, I think that’s a big ribeye steak.
Actually, judging by the shape of it, it looks like a piece of Bald Cypress.
Whatever material it is, the desk’s curvy shape brings a casual, down-home feel to the surroundings for these interviews, making. interviewees feel more comfortable.
RUMBLE and Truth Social!
I think Russell is still a lefty because of what he thinks some of the solutions are, but he is clear eyed now. He sees the machine and as you all know, once you see it, you can’t un-see it.
He does a great service to people to show them how to parse the bullshit they’re being fed on a daily basis. That alone is reason enough to watch and listen to him.
It’s probably natural for Brits to be left of conservative Americans simply because of the history of the two cultures. We prize rugged individualism and minimalist government whereas the Brits are more socialist in political solutions due to their history of monarchies. Yet they created the Magna Carta in the 13th century which was definitely used as a basis for our Constitution.
Yeah … I was waiting for his “spiritual awakening” on the topic of Global Warming and Gaia … but he didn’t quite deliver. Yes, we should all be connected to the land … respect the land and our environment … and appreciate the beauty in it. However! When he said that man shouldn’t “exploit” or “use” the earth he totally lost me. Of course we should … and MUST exploit the earth. But strip mines can be restored after they’ve played out … and we don’t need to foul our water or air. Which wealthy nations can afford to do. But what? Close all our mines? Don’t drill for oil or Nat. gas? Don’t be silly.
Unless you worship the Creator, you will worship creation.
I guess he should specify what “exploit” and “use” mean to him. He doesn’t seem like a stupid person and he demonstrates and extensive vocabulary so I would like him to take those two words and tell us what lines should not be crossed when discussing humans and their relationship with earth.
He knows that he “uses” the earth right now by traveling on roads, using fossil fuels, using an electric vehicle, building cities, and traveling over waterways.
Fair enough … but this was the only topic he spoke … around. He never got quite as specific and analytic as he did with ALL the other topics.
Oil and natural gas are NOT “fossil fuels” — they are renewable. The “fossil fuels” tag was intentional to further the lie that us uneducated heathens are “using them up” and they cannot be replaced. Such BS!! We’ve been deceived for DECADES, and the lies will continue until we stand up, call a halt to the BS and state the TRUTH.
Brand is a force of nature.
Russell is quite the Brand. Outstanding 46 minutes. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Sundance.
What a treat! Brand is simply brilliant – I’ve never heard someone express so eloquently all of the issues of our day. Half the interview was spent marveling at his abilities and vocabulary, his reasoning, his forethought that has gone into these things. He’s no doubt a genius, but astonishingly enough that he can still communicate to the rest of us. I’m reeling from all that I just heard and I’m trying to take it all in, but suffice it it to say, I’m tuning into Brand more often.
Amen! Same here.
Another voice of truth and reason on our side – and God knows we need it!
Those of us who receive Russell’s updates on Rumble have been impressed with his forthright, articulate commentary for some time, now. I’m glad Tucker had him on; more people need to hear what he has to say.
TC interview with Jordan Peterson excellent, also
Brand is a unique, generational human being and his charisma and wit brought him Hollywood fame at a young age. He was immature and ungrounded at that time, and he has been very open about hedonism and where success led him, and failed him. He never lost the mind and the charisma, and made it through rehabilitation from not just drugs and alcohol, but all that goes along with the Hollywood hedonistic lifestyle.
Hollywood and the media loved him when he was a hedonist and spat in the face of all things considered normal, clean, moral and good. Isn’t that interesting? Once he matured in thought and ideology, went back to a life with a wife not named Katy Perry, and had children, and began to speak truth, they hate him again.
The Lord works in mysterious ways. 20 years ago I would never have thought I’d give a hoot what Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson or Russell Brand would say, think or do.
Amazing interview. Russell Brand speaks of things here that few people in the media are deep enough to recognize, things that Tucker Carlson has spoken about in other segments, speeches, and interviews. I, too, have the sense of something dark on the horizon, the danger of individuality and freedom being further crushed as people are made afraid and become willing to give up freedom and individuality for security, safety, and comfort.
I am visually and tactically oriented and auditorily deficient. Russell Brand thoroughly exhausts me to listen to, but this was well worth the effort to take it in small bits with breaks between.
I’m not sure if this would have made any sense at all to me had I not been reading TCTH for the last decade. Brand does articulate issues so vividly it makes you hope that he is reaching the many who have not been privy to what Sundance has offered.
As a previous poster mentioned, once you see it you can’t unsee it; Russell Brand has seen it.
So are we to conclude that all of the accusations against Brand are merely tools of the State?
Given the source of the accusations, which aligns exactly with given the WHO he has pissed off by what he has spoken out about, I am prepared to dismiss the accusations as deep state bullshyte, yes.
TPTB didn’t care about the behavior when it happened, only when he began Wrongthink — and he began communicating effectively.
On the flipside, we don’t gloss over his past mistakes because we like what he says now.
What the lizard people do not understand, however, is that Russell Brand is more than a uniquely talented person. He shows repentance, conversion and humility about his life. One senses an authentic interest in the well-being of others. He gives humanity a unifying voice. And for this we truly like him, forgive him and hope for the best for him.
Per the left leanining Wikipedia:
“On 16 September 2023, allegations were published from five women, four anonymously, accusing Brand of rape, sexual assaults, and emotional abuse between 2006 and 2013, following the joint investigation.[129][130][131] At the time concerned, the youngest of the women alleging abuse was aged 16 (the age of consent throughout the UK), while Brand was 31. Most of the women, who The Times said do not know each other, have chosen to remain anonymous in fear of public harassment.”
Those allegations did not happen until he started speaking out against the approved narrative.
It appears so.
Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty. Thomas Jefferson
Wow! What a fantastic interview. Russel Brand spells it all right out. Excellent thesis of what is going on right now.
Red blue who cares he is selling something and I don’t think he is honest.
Russell Brand has a tremendous grasp of the English language and finds and delivers the right words quickly. He may be better at that than anyone on the scene. I especially enjoyed his answer when asked by Tucker if the all-out battle against him by the evil globalists of government and industry made him want to just withdraw and live quietly with his family.
His answer was from the heart. “I have no choice.” Russell Brand is called to battle and he accepts the challenge. I have watched many of his broadcasts and he knows he is needed and sincerely cares about so many of us looking for leadership to fight the tyrants.
As Tucker points out, there ARE some who detirmine they DO have a choice, and they withdraw from combat….
And yet the warriors, and there are MANY, like Russel, Tucker, Neil Oliver, KL, PDJT, and many others by word and action mirror what RB says, they do not percieve they have any choice.
That statement struck me as well. “There is no choice.” President Trump has made the same conclusion and they are indeed trying to destroy him as well.
Contrast that with Matt Drudge who took the money and ran.
ALSO MICHELLE MALKIN.
Ive always wondered if the disappearance of Malkins cousin Marizela Perez, in 2011, was the event that caused her to sell out. Perez still missing.
imagine actually wearing a shirt like the one Brand has on.
That’s his “interview with Tucker out in the Maine woods” shirt.
😆😆
May I suggest a V-neck t-shirt that isn’t quite so stretched out? A little smaller “V”
The clothes make the man . . . or something like that.
yeah, too much “cleavage” for my taste. but not alot of men have the courage to wear it.
Getting close to needing a manziere or bro
😆
George Costanza’s father was the inventor of that, right? 🙂
Is chest hair sexy? Maybe a perceived holdout from the old days.
He dresses like a rock star on stage, which is another reason why what he says is so powerful. You don’t expect all that insight and command of the facts and common sense and honesty from his appearance.
That’s very true
LOL
Started watching him oh around 3 years ago which is when he started his great awakening with the Kovid Kabuki.
I was quite shocked of course, as we all think lefties are generally retards. But he was well spoken and was a great aggregator of facts.
That’s about the time I started watching him and I have loved being able to watch his awakening.
Tucker has stumbled onto a secret. Have guests with something to say and then let them say it.
Then make millions.
All Tucker has to do is nudge his guests back to the points he knows there is a perspective, but for zeal of his guests may get missed. Tucker is a great interviewer and you barely notice he’s present. A winning formula that no one seems to copy.
Catastrophe is an opportunity because people only truly change when they have no choice.
Anyone, like RB (and frankly quite possibly TC) who has gone thru ‘recovery’ knows that it is only ‘hitting bottom’ i.e. catastrophe, that drives them “into the rooms” where recovery is possible.
Just as this applies to individuals, it can apply to groups or even humanity as a whole.
I’d go so far as to conjecture, that without catastrophe, no real change can take hold.
You have said a mouthful! I encouraged a family member to listen. He is in middle of ‘catastrophy’ and this may well aid further in recovery. My wishes
What a pleasure to listen to Russell Brand’s spoken English!
Spot on. Fantastic interview.
Russell Brand eruditely pontificates and Tucker, mouth agape, blurts a pertinent question and keeps RB from going full Irwin Corey – like four or five times.
Very good interview.
Best interview I’ve seen in a while. Thanks Sundance.
God bless Russell Brand, Tucker Carlson, President Trump, and all Americans everywhere.
God bless this Treehouse, SUndance and crew..
On Pretending:
I have so enjoyed Russell Brand’s transformation into truth.
I am enjoying Tucker’s journey into truth also – regardless of his past FOX involvement. Remember that everything coming out of the FOX network is censored and walks a careful line of keeping the narrative while pretending not to. I dumped FOX during the stolen election and J6 sealed the deal. FOX disgusts me. Total sellouts.
I can’t remember how far back I quit watching Fox. When 99% of TV, radio media are Socialist Propaganda, you cannot escape listening to some of it. In an airport CNN bombards you continuously. Fox would give you Fair and Balanced? So you had to spend 1/2 your time listening to the other side. Egad. You wound up listening to Professor Marc Lamont Hill and his ilk. It was torture. Then Sundance appeared and I realized that the 50/50 was the old 10/90.
Russell Brand knows his main audience, younger people under 40. Though not a “rock-ribbed” conservative he in my opinion is red-pilling the right group “the telephone gazers” who can’t function without those wicked gadgets telling them what to do.
Like a former smoker they become one of the best anti-smoker advocates. Same goes for liberals mugged by reality, like Russell Brand, Joe Rogan, Jimmy Dore, etc. they are speaking to the participation trophy people, I say right on.
Tucker Carlson offering up another piece de resistance. He and Russel Brand are feared by the globalist masters for their efforts at awakening the people.
I think the common thread with Tucker Carlson, Jordan Peterson. Joe Rogan, and Russel Brand is telling the truth about things you care about. Explicitly stated at 10:30 in the interview by Russel. It is a very powerful thing and a threat to those who lie for a living.
Thanks for this interview, it is a good addition to the Treehouse archives….
Must listen Capitol police chief SUND Carlson really good 1/3/24 Must must…
Repost this people
They just banned the video MFers at UTUBE Sundance?
We can’t have the truth now, can we?
1/30/24
“I’ll give it a go Tucker, I’ll tell you that!!”🤣 The guy’s brilliant!
He “doesn’t fear his own tongue”. And though the Bible does warn us to be careful with the powerful weapon of the tongue, I think he did a great job laying out the truth. I certainly can’t pick apart any tiny details that would detract from the simple fact of how he is unafraid to speak the truth that needs to be spoken – over and over, louder and louder, until this world wakes up.
I’m praying for him to prevail over the attacks against him from the demons that have set their sights on him. I also pray that he soon drops the “if” in front of the words “there is a God”. Not a criticism, just a hope for him as I hope for every human being on this planet.
Excellent watch, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Brand demonstrates where critical thinking can lead even hedonistic leftists.
We may not identify with these people but not being open to joining forces with them to address our overlords is folly.
It matters not one bit how he is dressed.
He is a brother in arms in our battle against those who seek to enslave us.
But will he vote for Trump? Does he vocally support Trump? Because IMO that’s the only criterion at this point.
Is he a citizen? I don’t know.
I find it unlikely he would vote for Biden.
Did you listen to the interview?
He mentions something like understanding the nationalist populist movements.
Yes he’s a citizen. Did he mention Trump at all?
And they have no clue why so many Hollywood hedonistic leftists commit suicide!

Joe Rogan is correct
Russell is one of us.
I don’t think so.
For sure he is. I know QUITE A FEW out-and-out leftists who were Bernie voters prior to all this but are now full fledged Trump MAGA. At its heart the MAGA movement is bi-partisan and we should welcome ANYONE who wants to join us. I’d rather have ex leftists who saw the light than RINOs.
Check out my other comment below with links to videos showing Brand openly criticizing and insulting Trump.
A lot of that is just programming. Russell has been steadily evolving for about 5 years.
I couldn’t care less what anyone SAYS about Trump, all i care about is how they VOTE. And Russell Brand if he had a vote would vote for Trump. 100 percent. He might now advertise it, but he would definitely at this point in time he’s a solid Trump vote.
I voted for Al Gore!!!!
I couldn’t care less what anyone SAYS about Trump, all i care about is how they VOTE. And Russell Brand if he had a vote would vote for Trump. 100 percent.
I’ll bet he voted for Biden in 2020, I’ll see if it’s documented anywhere.
Dummy Joe Rogan voted for a Libertarian who had no chance, so it was effectively a vote for Biden. https://www.newsweek.com/joe-rogan-joe-biden-vote-election-podcast-1681712
I can’t watch this entire video but I did find in it that Brand said he didn’t have a strong opinion about the outcome. Seriously? No pro-Trump person would ever say that.
https://www.facebook.com/RussellBrand/videos/biden-vs-trump-what-result-will-heal-america-russell-brand/367218707727144/
And here he is 3 years ago reviewing the nasty hit piece by his nasty niece Mary Trump and using the info to psychoanalyze DJT. A decent person would not do this.
sounds good there
Did you watch the video? Brand is complimenting the various things Biden pledged to do, including but not limited to cancelling student debt, eliminating carbon pollution by 2025 (which Brand says is “absolutely necessary”), ending mass deportation, passing the “John Lewis Voting Rights Act” (you should read about that doozy), banning and buying back “assault rifles”, and codifying Roe v. Wade. THESE ARE THINGS BRAND LIKES.
And what did he say about Trump? NOTHING.
That sounds good to you? Does that sound like a guy who voted for Trump? Or someone who is pro-MAGA or “on our side” as other people are hoping?
EXCELLENT INTERVIEW!!
“Or, there’s men like Joseph whose brothers conspired to throw him in a pit in the wilderness to be left for dead, only to decide instead to sell him into slavery to make a profit, resulting in him relocating to Egypt, leading to his advancing in favor in Pharoah’s kingdom, earning a high rank, and saving the entire region, including his own brothers, from starvation during a famine. Later reflecting on his whole experience, Jospeh would say, speaking to his brothers, “What you meant for evil against me, God has meant for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.”
There’s the story of Esther, the story of Ruth, the story of David, and on and on—all modeling God’s work through apparent misfortunate to bring about abundant blessing for his people.”
And, don’t forget Paul’s conversion experience, and what he went on to do!
So true
I’ve been listening to his podcast for a while now. He’s so articulate & funny at the same time.
Tucker’s expression during this whole thing was hilarious.
I think Tucker may get a little buzz going before his show starts .
Tucker doesn’t drink.
That was excellent, thank you. I’m going to listen to his podcast when I can
“More voices, not less” Andrew Breitbart
IMO both Carlson and Brand are hangers on, riding Trump’s coattails but never defending him, using Trump’s popularity and the rising MAGA movement for their own profit. Just like DeSantis did. I won’t spend 40 minutes (or 20 if I increase the speed to 2x) to listen to Carlson and Brand discussing themselves so I’m hoping someone can tell me: do they mention Trump at all? Do they mention any of the hundreds of ways Trump has been harassed and persecuted? Because Trump has by far received the worst treatment of anyone in the US, but few people with access to a wide audience have the guts to defend him.
Actually they do mention President Trump and acknowledge that he is attacked and that the more he is attacked the more popular he becomes.
Iff the establishment and death to the Deep State
You are so narrow in your view that it is entertaining at this point.
I think some of you have short memories. It wasn’t that long ago when Brand was criticizing/insulting Trump. Here is is in an appearance on Colbert’s TDS show. He’s saying here that Trump attacks “everyone in Mexico” and “women”, and more. I suggest you all do some internet searches on things that Brand has said or done between June 2015 and November 2020.
And here he is slamming Trump for various lib-meme reasons:
1 Corinthians 13:11
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
So, are you still a child, or….
If that was intended to be an insult it was not effective.
I’ve noticed so many conservatives are really quick to accept the latest fad people who sound like they might possibly be MAGA types. And they forget or never knew that those same people were harshly critical of Trump and MAGA people.
It’s not just Brand, I’ve noticed Matt Taibbi, the guy who write “Insane Clown President” about Trump’s 2016 election and first term as President, has also developed a following for some bizarre reason. It’s like these people back off of harassing Trump and suddenly their the darlings of the MAGA movement? Noooooo. Recall Trump’s Snake poem. Recall DeSantis fake-embracing Trump and MAGA only to turn on all of us when he no longer needed us.
You’re overreacting. Go take a couple of Midol and retreat to your safe space.
OK.
Have you changed since 2015?
I was always conservative, a huge fan of Thomas Jefferson and understood we were in trouble since at least 2000.
I knew Congress was no longer working properly and the press was “liberal”.
Certainly I didn’t have the Uniparty concept clear in 2000 nor did lend total credence to the harm of the “Bilderbergers” (Devos crowd) and the threat of globalism.
Now?
The press is a tool of CIA/NGO/British SIS and they are a tool of the huge banks and corporations. The big banks and corporations want total control and want soft slavery for all but the elite. “Gently imposed” totalitarianism if you will.
That picture was not clearing up for me until 2016. Are you unhappy that Brand and Carlson are just now speaking of these things?
See my comment directly above to Wiley Coyote.
I went that direction when Waco occurred. It was a clear attack on the 1st, 2nd and 4th amendment rights of us all.
I get what you’re saying…particularly in THESE INSANE times…..but I also KNOW we ARE ALL on a LONG (hopefully) journey and come to numerous forks in the Road of Life…..
I can be EXTREMELY cynical but I hold on to the idea that ANY ONE FORK can take one 90° from where one was headed….and some drive faster than others…..
You are seeing this as an absolutist.
I am seeing it as a realist.
I don’t believe anyone here believes he is hardcore MAGA.That simply is not point.
If even a fraction of his audience wakes up to the dangers we all face, they are more likely to take action via critical thinking decisons with their votes. They will talk to others.
As Sundance’s excellent meme says, “WE SEE YOUR GREAT RESET… AND RAISE YOU A GREAT AWAKENING”.
I’m actually commenting on the growing number of MAGA conservatives fawning all over Carlson and Brand. I just want to remind them that Brand was openly critical of Trump not long ago. I haven’t even searched yet to see when was the last time he made insulting comments about Trump, I stopped my search at Nov 2016.
I’m a realist too, and I will not forget the very real example DeSantis who even went as far as to openly embrace Trump and the MAGA movement … and then we found out it was all fakery for his own personal gain. People need to be more cautious of the snakes and the users.
In all fairness any help getting info out is great. No one is voting for Carlson or Brand for office. Yes they may later disappoint but…..
For someone who wrote this: “I won’t spend 40 minutes (or 20 if I increase the speed to 2x) to listen to Carlson and Brand discussing themselves …<snip>
you’ve certainly spent a deal of time on this thread…..
Fair observation?
There are people here and elsewhere who actually want Carlson to be the VP.
As for your “great deal of time on this thread” comment, you conveniently blotted out the most important part of the statement you selected. So let me repost it here:
I won’t spend 40 minutes (or 20 if I increase the speed to 2x) to listen to Carlson and Brand discussing themselves.
They were both cancelled. Carlson lost his job at Fox and Brand probably lost a lot of work after being accused of sexual assault. They’re trying to revive their careers, and while I think they both have a better understanding of political corruption than the average person, I would not consider either of them to be our allies. They are too afraid to say “Trump was a great President in his first term” or “Trump is far better than Biden”. It doesn’t fit with their goal of preserving their careers. See the videos I’ve posted of Brand to see who he really is. These two guys remind me so much of DeSantis.
Welp, attempting to be clinically cold and factual while at the same time constructive. ….
If you had watched the video then you would know that the time spent discussing Tucker was almost nil and Brand was speaking to how the government attacked him after he spoke facts on COVID and other issues. An illustration of how “they” work.
This is not an attempt to sell you into liking these guys, (I don’t like either one myself). What I’m hearing though is emotional reaction not citing of facts aside from paraphrased, “yes as everyone knows Brand used to be a hedonist liberal little twerp”. That’s not the content of the interview.
You choose MAGA as your moniker and MAGA the movement is about much more than “pure” conservatives if there even is such a thing. In effect you throw out the good comparing it to the perfect instead of rejecting the bad.
In August 2022 there were a bunch of people here who were upset with Sundance for posting unflattering things about DeSantis. Who ended up being right about DeSantis?
Just sayin ….
There are many people I watch on 1.5X… Russell Brand is not one of them. Doing that in 20 minutes would melt your brain.
It was absolutely worth the full 40 minutes. It seems that someone doth protest too much.
Again, I’m responding to people who are assuming that Tucker Carlson and Russell Brand are supportive of MAGA. Sorry but their past history and even their current comments don’t support that theory. Can you tell me anything that either one of them has said that is truly supportive of Trump or his political movement? Has either one of them said a Trump second term will be great for the country?
I had never listened to Brand before, point of fact, I had intentionally avoided anything associated with him, believing he was just another celeb who thought his views needed to be publicly disseminated and followed. I was grossly wrong. His reasoning was, IMO, right on and I’m now a fan of his reason and willingness to project truth.
Can we please not call it “Breaks Silence?” Sounds so woke. He has a regular podcast and speaks almost daily about politics.
I think he doesn’t have much other work now.
This site honesty wears me out sometimes. Nobody can pass the purity test. Except Trump
You have to admit Trump is the only presidential candidate who gives a crap about average citizens, demonstrable by his first term actions. We thought DeSantis was good until he proved himself to be a lout. The rest are worse than scum.
Great Tucker episode! Tucker fan because he is intellectually willing to explore and put it out there!
Not interested in clones or parrots.
Anyone wanting another reason to why Tucker is so important as a voice today… watch this podcast. And read the comments under the interview. He reaches people and makes them think deeper. Tucker is a very philosophical thinker… more so than political. In this podcast he takes questions from a few different perspectives and his answers are genuine. Agree with him or not.
ALL -IN….!
GREAT PODCAST! I RARELY MISS ONE!
in a similar vein for those dismissing Tucker OR Brand….or ANY JOURNALIST that hasn’t kissed the DJT ring…..Megyn had on Glenn Greenwald recently to disparage other phonies in The Biz and she highlighted this really great statement/DEFINITION of a JOURNALIST from Sebastian Younger, pulled from a National Review article….
“A Journalist is a person willing to destroy his own opinion with FACTS,
A Journalist is a person willing to report the TRUTH REGARDLESS of the consequences to themselves or others
A Journalist is a person willing to focus on reality rather than outcome”.
WORD.
But Carlson and Brand have been critical of Trump. I’m not saying they’re worthless but nobody should be thinking they are MAGA.
Why can’t they just admit that Trump was a phenomenal President in his first term and will likely be even better in his second term? Are they afraid? I have a difficult time embracing anyone who is too afraid to compliment the guy who started the most amazing political movement of the 20th and 21st centuries and who had the most astounding election win perhaps of all time.
You can be MAGA and still criticize Trump. Unless you are a sycophant and you think he walks on water. Personally I don’t fall in love with politicians… I fall in love with outcomes of policies.
I believe MAGA was there before Trump. He stepped into a void that was much needed.
Some may know I like to follow the comments in RBs videos. I think you can get a general understanding of where most people are from his commenters bc there are all kinds of people in the comments. But the thing that really fascinates me regarding the comments, is how they differ and/or filtered depending on YouTube or Rumble.
As an example, Chris Hedges was a guest about a month ago talking Israel Palestine. The YouTube comments were mostly praise, until you scroll down, way way down, and see people challenging Hedges’ assertions. But in rumble, there’s criticism right out of the gate. Draw your own conclusions as to what is happening in the comments.
I’m just saying, RBs comments section is a good tool for getting an honest assessment of where we all are and it’s encouraging to see live comments immediately challenging the bs.

Tucker screamed “YES!!!” at about the 40:10 mark and I about had a heart attack. Man, I like Tucker, but could someone please put a bug in his ear to watch his intonations, so he doesn’t blast his viewers. Wow!!!
Russel Brand is too creepy to even listen to. Put him in the Lena Dunham file. Please.
Bless your heart.
Amen Russell, amen! Talk hard!
Brand talked about political targeting. Lawfare is Mary McCord’s career specialty.
There’s a group… what they do is observe dissenting voices… around election campaigning. It seems that this group received money to control online spaces.
–RB
So if you’re worried about the security of electronic voting machines or absentee ballots you’re denounced by these people and censored by them.
–TC
The 65 project, is a Lawfare group that targeted 2020 election lawyers.
“It’s devastating… that we even have a podcast called, Prosecuting Donald Trump. Who would have ever thought that that would be necessary.”
–Mary McCord, 92NY, Sep. 21, 2023
“These are political operatives. It’s political warfare or political Lawfare.”
–Donald J. Trump Nov, 6 2023
