Brand has a long history of abuse and addiction. Throughout his life, his addictions and predilections have been varied, ranging from eating disorders to pornography addiction before resulting in excessive drug and alcohol use. He has also been diagnosed with ADHD and bipolar disorder, two factors that likely contributed to the growing cycle of abuse. At the peak of his abuse, there were few drugs Brand wasn’t willing to take. Heroin was a personal favorite, but he also used crack, marijuana, meth, alcohol and hallucinogens.

Right?! Bernie has spent his whole life promoting the proven policies to the public that help the most amount of people, work better than anything else known, and save the most amount of lives, while Russell has spent the last few years doing the opposite of all those things. It's good to see the difference, unfortunately for most people watching this who don't know this, they may both seem reasonable given the limited time to assess the good done vs the bad things they have each done. I myself would love to know exactly how many have of his fans & podcast listeners have died due to Russell's stupid conspiracy theories and misinformation.
Love how Russells genius just makes any program he is on worth watching. At least with Russell we get honesty and real truth in a format that goes right over fools heads. We need a billion more of him.
@bobba fett - Stop being an idiot. The first guy said something about people who have a history of drug use. You say the same thing about people who do not use drugs. Get a life my guy.
As much as I enjoy Maher and RT, when you get past this softball clip, the rest of the show has Brand using his wit and comedic genius to eviscerate the panel. They are sophists among a philosopher.
He's brilliant but needs to learn to play nice, conversationally, with the other children. He makes a point like Cyrano, but there are some micro conversational tools that could help him slowly share his point now and then.
@@adamgcampbell98 Leak is still debatable. Second-level counterintelligence imho. Lots of evidence around that the Rona was in SEA in 2017/2018 with the levels of pre-existing immunity . (and testing old waste water samples even in Italy etc) Solely using PCR cranked to 40 cycles, which can only prove existence of genetic debris and not a current infection, plus the extra months/year of exposure throughout the world, it was easy to crank up "case numbers" right out of the gate
Wait did they cut the most awesome part out completely or is there an extended version? Yes I’m talking about the part when Russell Brand called out both sides of the media, the government and more. He was brilliant!
Russell was absolutely on fire on this appearance and I’m so thankful for people like him getting out on these mainstream shows saying what the majority of American people are sick of not hearing from a lot of these phony politicians
Fucking LOL. Russell Brand's videos are all telling you what to think. Then he comes out and says this crap on mainstream TV and you're all "he's saying what I think!"
I think Russell Brand is a rude motor-mouth. He talks over people. No one can get a word in edgewise. I had to turn off the sound. I'm sick of guys like him.

Yep. And Brands face clearly shows that he is disappointed in Maher spouting that nonsense. Also scary is Bernie Sanders outright endorsing the one world govt. finally, that msnbc guy was a complete idiot. He’s just a lying puppet head and too dumb to even realize it.
Couldn't believe the one guy was still talking about the wet market. Was he the one that just scrolls and thinks he is intelligent?! Russell Brand ❤️ 💙 💜
One thing I do respect about Bernie is that he doesn’t like to mess around, you can tell he was getting annoyed with the silly questions that ultimately aren’t important in the world
He tried baiting them several times into contrived responses but all they did was poke fun at how trivial the topics were that Bill was trying to discuss
I love this panel. Also love how Russell & Bernie were not having it with the meaningless questions & only going for the important stuff. “Quality” is correct.
I'm 2 minutes in and immediately noticed the complete lack of substance. Why does Bill have Bernie and Russell on and use the limited time we get to waste it on stupid non important topics.
@@JymVer Ricky Gervais did too good of a job being hate-able, whereas Steve Carrel was more of a lovable baboon. It’s tough to like a show where the main character isn’t likeable.
I love it that Bernie was genuinely enjoying Russel's slating of the Brit awards as 'meaningless'. I think they both agree that there are more important issues to discuss.
I think that Sander's certainly enjoys a show where somebody is laughing and having a good time (the way a 3 year old enjoys cocomelon), but I don't think Bernie is capable of having a logical discussion about anything outside of advocating for a world government, preferably one that pays him money to talk about such things; like the WHO... or China.
The way Russell was looking, glaring at Bill when Bill was talking about "farmers and animals and pandemics".....he was just glaring at him like "really......" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Spiritof_76 Do you have a farming background? Have you been to an actual CAFO site or are you just talking about something you saw on the internet? Just curious because the photos you see on the internet are the extreme cases and not the norm.
@@jacksparrow3025 To answer your 1st question, yes. To answer the second, yes. Raising animals in small stalls on urine and feces soaked concrete is not how we farmed. Small and medium sized family farms are on severe decline. Have you seen factory chicken or egg facilities? They're atrocious. Our chickens roamed around outdoors, as did our cattle and hogs.
Bernie Sanders isn't going to do anything for you, it's the act of a sociopath. The $14trillion to the Pentagon that Russell is talking about, Bernie voted for nearly all of it. "International cooperation" as he votes to arm/back/fund literal zeehile Notsees, expand Nato whilst saber-rattling with a nuclear power that is trying to SAVE its people from those Notsees that Bernie Sanders fully supports. Then also voted for the largest upward wealth transfer in human history at $5trillion in the C.A.R.E.S. Act that he _did not_ have to vote for, while Americans were starving and being evicted. Then shouted down his _own former campaign manager_ in a crowd who demanded accountability for pushing us closer to nuclear war. He just helped crush rail unions, which is committing actual fascism. He won't push for Medicare4All in the middle of a pandemic that the NIH and government started. Bernie is also 4th highest recipient in Congress of pharma lobbying. Biden is the first highest.
I like Russell and think he makes great points, but I think he tends to filibuster a little too long and that makes it hard to have a great conversation sometimes. It can make for some very funny and entertaining conversation though and I think people do expect that from him, but if you had just him and Bernie for instance I would hope he would get a little more serious.
Not Bernie, Russell is naive and wrong about Bernie Sanders loving American, Bernie is a socialist lover of Russia who want America to be like Russia where nobody owns anything and everyone makes same low wages while Bernie and others have all the money with no recourse against them cuz freedom doesn't exist in a socialist society!!! Facts!!
Ohhh America, you missed a great opportunity to improve lives for all Americans - by not voting Bernie Sanders for President.. It's frightening how the USA (and more Western countries, like some of us also here in Europe) are becoming more like so called '3rd world' countries, where the 1% are getting richer and richer. And the remaining 99% are finding it harder to manage.. ???? 🤔🤔
@@MartinaMcDonaghI'm not saying it wouldn't have been great, but Bernie would've had a hard time getting anything through, and any Executive Order he signed would've been challenged before the ink dried. Look at the fight over student loan debt forgiveness. It was only 10K, which is nowhere near what Bernie wanted to do,, but there are two lawsuits are sitting with the SCOTUS right now.
@@MartinaMcDonagh If you think that 99% of Americans are finding it harder to manage things now than they did in the past, you haven't lived long enough to know what things were like in the past. There is no point in the past in which even the average low income American was as well off as they are now. When I was a kid in the 1970s, thousands of Americans were dying in an overseas war, inflation was far higher than it has been recently, along with a recession where many were out of work, and you had to wait in line for an hour to put gas in your car. There was no Obamacare to help people get health insurance, and there was tons of crime in the cities, far worse than now. The only reason anything has gotten worse in the very last few years is because of Covid's effects on the economy (and some of the mistaken attempts to fix it). But things are still better than they were then, and even very poor Americans have many more consumer products and conveniences than at any time in the past.
Bill did a final New Rule about factory farming and the threat of pandemics, epidemics, and antibiotic resistance. Here is the link- czcams.com/video/-OoT2OZWCOI/video.html
Yes, we all know Covid came from a LAB in China. The whole animals statement is part of the propagansda machine. Climate change is just an excuse to tax you and control you. It's an evil.
Russell is way too quick for them. They can’t keep up. Maybe Russell himself can’t keep up with his own mind, and that says a lot coming from such an eloquent and articulate man
At least Bill invites guests with different views and opinions. Showing that people who disagree with you are not enemies and you don’t have to hate them. It is nice to see Russell .
Really? Where is Jimmy Dore? Lee Camp? Briahana Joy grey? Sabby Sabs? Ron Placone? Aaron Mate? Max Blumenthal? Richard Medhurst? Hell, ebven Krystal Ball won't be asked back. Bill can't stand being attacked FROM THE LEFT. Neither can Bernie, which is why you will NEVER see him on independent media any more.
He is an idiots idea of a smart person. He kind of sounds eloquent, by using a few big words (usually incorrectly). He also peddles ridiculous conspiracy theories and is not informed about anything.
@@brooksb519 i don't agree with everything he says or all the content he pushes (especially the titles) but you cannot say he's a idiot. It's good to have other voices and whether you like it or not, journalists and media are actually supposed to question the narrative that the establishment (government, corporations, etc) give us.
He has a point about antibiotic resistance (if that's what he's referring too) However, covid is more than likely from a lab. (Intentional or accidental)
@@bryanjk Let's be real here.. it was 100% intentional. Look at the response to it... there have been plenty of much more deadly viruses around, NONE of them got even close to the reaction covid got. None of them got trillions of dollars in funding, none of them got mandatory anything, none of them basically shut the whole country down for almost a year... It was a huge wealth redistribution, and as a added bonus, they got to take down trump with it.
The reason Russell is so great is because he is a terrific comedian and he is able to speak about human nature in a way that speaks with us as opposed to speaking “at” us. The problem with MSM is that there is a clear distinction between agenda and truth. I say think about this…who is on the right side of history Socrates and Pluto or the ones who screamed heresy when they challenged the ‘establishment”?

Russell Brand is a shockingly unexpected breath of fresh air. Bill saying 'it comes from Animals' was a reminded of that the old Bill is still in there deep down.
He is a younger, more centric version of Bernie. Bernie is THE OG honest government representative who doesn’t take shit from billion dollar corporate shitheads.
the very first emails/calls to fauchi they literally said the mutation in commie virus 19 weren’t possible to come from nature but could be made in a lab

@@albertcantu2572 he screwed his brain with drug abuse. He doesn't know what he is talking about and believes in literally every conspiracy theory out there. Even Alex Jones is more sane than this guy.
Russell Brand has always been funny, and insightful on some points, but I’ve found his discourse so much more valuable in recent years. He has done a lot of work on himself. It’s an inspiring character arc.
I only watched this clip because of Russel Brand. Russel speaks the truth and he has a great podcast on Rumble and on other platforms as well. Bernie and Bill Mahr are sellouts while Russel through out the years got sober and stayed true to his values and beliefs and I'm proud of Russel Brands growth too. Keep on speaking truth Russel and keep educating people in the process.
... and, FWIW, he drives me nuts. He is clearly hyper-intelligent. But - and it didn't really happen on this show - he SO often works his way down into an admittedly inventive rabbit hole - relishing its inventiveness and thoroughly enjoying ridiculing anyone who dare think otherwise. The anachronistic thing? He grotesquely overplays it, to my taste - beyond any notion of productive paradigm-breaking and well into the realm of pure self-promotion. Here, he demonstrated the quality of respectful disagreement that I relish - on his own blogs? Nahh.
UPDATE: There was a section of this episode in which the economic effects of Brexit on the UK's recovery from covid was discussed, showing that the UK's recovery, due to Brexit, was the worst in the G7. It turns out that the forecasts were way off. John Burn-Murdoch of the Financial Times (which has been highly critical of Brexit) tweeted a few days ago: “Vibe shift, economic data edition: After the latest GDP revisions, turns out the UK economy had recovered to its pre-pandemic size by the end of 2021, has recovered more strongly than Germany, and roughly as strongly as France.' Heilemann and Maher were WRONG!!!
9 departments came out with reports, 3 said they came from a lab, 5 said wet market, 2 inconclusive. All were made with low confidence. So to imply that the lab leak idea is 100% correct is just as ignorant as people that say it's 100% wet market
People who love logic, rational thinking, and keeping all options on the table until proper proof and evidence has arisen will also love keeping all theories alive. Those who gullibly commit themselves to the most sensational sounding theory right from the get-go will continue to be pretentiously condescending.

By the way the really rich can MOVE anywhere in the world and take their businesses the jobs they create etc. with them / Bernie Sanders et al have a hard time understanding those FACTS there is a thing called the "inter web" which allows you to work from anywhere in the world ... there is also something new called a "plane" that travels pretty quickly and allows rich people to go to face to face meetings if they must ...SHOCKING TO SOME I KNOW!!!
The founders of the labor movement viewed unions as a vehicle to get workers more of the profits they help create. Government workers, however, don’t generate profits. They merely negotiate for more tax money. When government unions strike, they strike against taxpayers. F.D.R. considered this “unthinkable and intolerable.” Government collective bargaining means voters do not have the final say on public policy. Instead their elected representatives must negotiate spending and policy decisions with unions. That is not exactly democratic - a fact that unions once recognized.
Russell is like one of those rare people that talks with everyone and doesn’t get banned for doing so. You have to be a special kind of person for that and he nailed it.
@@eazyratThe irony is that, regardless of his alleged unethical behavior, the only reason he's being hounded like this is precisely because of how many people he talks to and what he says.
Russel Brand is truly a national treasure. I dare say it doesnt matter what side of the political aisle you are on, it seems impossible to hate this guy because he is so authentic & kind.
What I don't get is the juxtaposition of Russell on shows like this....totally entertaining, covering a wide range of topics, etc.....compared to his CZcams channel, which is literally just COVID outrage porn/clickbait.
He is!!!! he’s absolutely hilarious and I love his CZcams Joe, and we talk about how main stream media socks and their bought out because their corporate. I will admit that I watch Tucker, Carlson and Greg Gutfeld, because they are funny.. Greg Gutfeld on Fox News, which is conservative, but he thinks drugs should be legal! You would’ve never ever heard that come out of somebody on Fox News is now 15 years or so ago and that’s only been maybe in the past seven years they’ve come out to be more moderate in the past 7 to 10 years and I’m thankful for that. I’m conservative about a few things, but I am moderate conservative about others and a moderate about other things, and open till about 10 years ago I didn’t think that any media sat with my personality style.. I woke up in the middle of the night around 2007 and it was two in the morning and I was watching Red Eye on Fox News of all channels and that was the first time I saw Greg Gutfeld and I understood why he was on late night and now he’s got an 11 PM show and he’s hilarious
I am trying to figure out how Russell Brand has suddenly become the only voice of reason in this swamp of social media we have. I hardly knew who he was five years ago and now his channel is a "MUST SEE" on a daily basis.
Bill's shallow attempt to compromise Russel Brand in 5 seconds or less over the origins of SARS-COV-2 was a cheap shot and really offended his guest. There's a reason Russel Brand has three times the viewership that Bill Maher has. People like to have two sided conversations, not just one guy's opinion on a fast moving format.
California, known as the Golden State, once gave us Ronald Reagan and was the envy of the states. Today, California has the highest concentration of homelessness and welfare of any state in the country with Democrats in full control of every major political office as well as every major city including Los Angeles and San Francisco. Republicans are ignored as Democrats force policies that create more poverty and homelessness including: Rent Control: In theory it sounds good to prevent rent from increasing on poor; but multiple studies show it causes housing shortages that reduce the number of low-income people who can live in a city while raising the demand for housing. Further, it deters new housing construction and worsens the homelessness problem creating more homelessness than homes avaliable. And the highest drug use and crime and so on.
Russell absolutely cutting through the smoke and mirrors and dominating the headlines around the show. He's not the journalist we deserve, but he's the journalist we need. He's dead on and he's saying what a lot of smarter Americans, and people around the world, have been pulling their hair out about for years.
Brand has a long history of abuse and addiction. Throughout his life, his addictions and predilections have been varied, ranging from eating disorders to pornography addiction before resulting in excessive drug and alcohol use. He has also been diagnosed with ADHD and bipolar disorder, two factors that likely contributed to the growing cycle of abuse. At the peak of his abuse, there were few drugs Brand wasn’t willing to take. Heroin was a personal favorite, but he also used crack, marijuana, meth, alcohol and hallucinogens.
Brand is a conspiracy theorist who doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about. He thinks the world economic forum is some shadow Illuminati organization and thinks Bill Gates is trying to kill people to reduce the population. Please, for the love of god, do not take anything he says seriously.

Bernie has spent his whole life promoting the proven policies to the public that help the most amount of people, work better than anything else known, and save the most amount of lives, while Russell has spent the last few years doing the opposite of all those things. It's good to see the difference, unfortunately for most people watching this who don't know this, they may both seem reasonable given the limited time to assess the good done vs the bad things they have each done. I myself would love to know exactly how many have of his fans & podcast listeners have died due to Russell's stupid conspiracy theories and misinformation.
I'd like to see a special with just the two!
I'm amazed Russell was invited on the show. He's basically a gateway to the Qanon stuff lol. If you ever want a good laugh check out his channel.
@@Brett_S_420 Sorry to break it to you bud but he's a grifter. should never bowed TWICE in running.
please don't equate Bernie and that rambling idiot in the same breath..
Love how Russells genius just makes any program he is on worth watching. At least with Russell we get honesty and real truth in a format that goes right over fools heads. We need a billion more of him.
I love that Bill loses control of the conversation and gets flustered, and Bernie and Russell just being themselves. 😂
This was a dope head vs. a cokehead episode.
@@rambleon2838 lol that sounds like a discussion between Don Jr and Ben Shapiro
I noticed that, but watch the last episode Russell was in. He didn't let anybody else talk. He was jacked up on Mt. Dew. Spider monkey.

@@bobbafett1849 😂😂😂
As much as I enjoy Maher and RT, when you get past this softball clip, the rest of the show has Brand using his wit and comedic genius to eviscerate the panel. They are sophists among a philosopher.

Thank you for summarizing

Bernie's been putting in the work. We love to see it.

Expected him to chime in a bit there though.

He's brilliant but needs to learn to play nice, conversationally, with the other children. He makes a point like Cyrano, but there are some micro conversational tools that could help him slowly share his point now and then.
The CNN dude talking about the “wet markets” when Russel knows damn well covid leaked from a lab
agreed
@@adamgcampbell98 Leak is still debatable. Second-level counterintelligence imho. Lots of evidence around that the Rona was in SEA in 2017/2018 with the levels of pre-existing immunity . (and testing old waste water samples even in Italy etc) Solely using PCR cranked to 40 cycles, which can only prove existence of genetic debris and not a current infection, plus the extra months/year of exposure throughout the world, it was easy to crank up "case numbers" right out of the gate
Wait did they cut the most awesome part out completely or is there an extended version? Yes I’m talking about the part when Russell Brand called out both sides of the media, the government and more. He was brilliant!
Bernie & Russell on the same stage is GOLDEN. I love them both, their minds are among the greatest of our lifetime
Russell yes, Bernie no. Bernie, admittedly, doesn’t even know what equity means.
Bernie? Bwahahahahaha
Both were brought to you by the rothschilds.
Bernie is a bum.
Are you serious? If these two are among the greatest we are fucked.
Russell was absolutely on fire on this appearance and I’m so thankful for people like him getting out on these mainstream shows saying what the majority of American people are sick of not hearing from a lot of these phony politicians
Lol people like you aren't the majority
lol
Disagree, Brand gave several Master Class's in this appearance: Gish Galloping, Whataboutism, & False Equivalence, he was phony and disingenuous.
Fucking LOL. Russell Brand's videos are all telling you what to think. Then he comes out and says this crap on mainstream TV and you're all "he's saying what I think!"
I think Russell Brand is a rude motor-mouth. He talks over people. No one can get a word in edgewise. I had to turn off the sound. I'm sick of guys like him.
I can't believe they let this episode air with Brand saying raw provocative topics lol I love it.
It's HBO.
Cut to death , where's the vaccine funding talk from Russell
The way Bernie looked at Russell 😂 pure love
and vice versa.
Bernie Sanders seems so refreshed and happy being around Russell Brand I love it!
Russell Brand talks like a well written script. Would love to be able to possess those kinds of verbal skills.
Me too!
He is a wordsmith. He is a superb orator as most established comedians are. He wasn't always as controlled, that comes with experience.
So good, black belt in conversation
His CZcams show is amazing. He goes off like that often.
Brand has a long history of abuse and addiction. Throughout his life, his addictions and predilections have been varied, ranging from eating disorders to pornography addiction before resulting in excessive drug and alcohol use. He has also been diagnosed with ADHD and bipolar disorder, two factors that likely contributed to the growing cycle of abuse.
At the peak of his abuse, there were few drugs Brand wasn’t willing to take. Heroin was a personal favorite, but he also used crack, marijuana, meth, alcohol and hallucinogens.
Gotta love Russell's face when Bill is relating farming practices to virus transfer between animal and human
It’s a lie, viruses don’t transfer from animals to people on farms. It’s infuriating watching him spew these lies. Flat out lies
Was waiting for him to interrupt
Yep. And Brands face clearly shows that he is disappointed in Maher spouting that nonsense.
Also scary is Bernie Sanders outright endorsing the one world govt.
finally, that msnbc guy was a complete idiot. He’s just a lying puppet head and too dumb to even realize it.
Yeah, and then him and bald guy repeat wet market lie FFS!
Couldn't believe the one guy was still talking about the wet market. Was he the one that just scrolls and thinks he is intelligent?! Russell Brand ❤️ 💙 💜
John Heilemann felt that zero applause for himself and I can't enjoy it enough.
One thing I do respect about Bernie is that he doesn’t like to mess around, you can tell he was getting annoyed with the silly questions that ultimately aren’t important in the world
EXACTLY. A Virgo!
Russell is so on point, Bill looks shocked at his responses.
the smartest guy in the room. He runs circles around the lefties.
That is stupid funny to me, by your context you think Russel Brand is conservative. 😂
@@daddyrabbit835 Brand is based AF, but he is HELLA left.
@Lucas Tinius I'll take a based lefty over a lunatic lefty any day of the week.
He tried baiting them several times into contrived responses but all they did was poke fun at how trivial the topics were that Bill was trying to discuss
"A perfect metaphor, for it is naught but hot air..." 😂 I love Russell Brand.
He's a genius. I love him too.
Russell looks at bill as if he was talking to a child lol this is epic
And how completely
appropriate, too! 😐
When Bernie said "no" on that daylight savings time 🤣💀
I love this panel. Also love how Russell & Bernie were not having it with the meaningless questions & only going for the important stuff. “Quality” is correct.
Bernie was basically destroyed with facts and logic here.
I'm 2 minutes in and immediately noticed the complete lack of substance. Why does Bill have Bernie and Russell on and use the limited time we get to waste it on stupid non important topics.
@@Tespri There's zero chance you've ever had sex before. "destroyed by facts and logic" is a phrase only dumb virgins with no life experience say.

Ricky Gervais did too good of a job being hate-able, whereas Steve Carrel was more of a lovable baboon. It’s tough to like a show where the main character isn’t likeable.
@@JymVer
P.S. Although I will admit that his interpretive dance for the charity is one of the funniest scenes in any show ever.
Maher is so right about the industrial abuse of animals. I'm so glad he speaks out about that.
Russell had his game face on right from the start, you knew this was gonna be entertaining :D
I love it that Bernie was genuinely enjoying Russel's slating of the Brit awards as 'meaningless'. I think they both agree that there are more important issues to discuss.
Sanders is a globalist and is pro Great reset.
Bernie is an establishment ghoul, a paid actor, part of the "controlled opposition"
I think that Sander's certainly enjoys a show where somebody is laughing and having a good time (the way a 3 year old enjoys cocomelon), but I don't think Bernie is capable of having a logical discussion about anything outside of advocating for a world government, preferably one that pays him money to talk about such things; like the WHO... or China.
@@chubbyjubjub3593 Source?
@@ZedNebuloid When someone starts a conversation with "I think" - you already have the source.
The way Russell was looking, glaring at Bill when Bill was talking about "farmers and animals and pandemics".....he was just glaring at him like "really......" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
CAFO farming is a problem, and is cruel.
@@Spiritof_76 Do you have a farming background? Have you been to an actual CAFO site or are you just talking about something you saw on the internet? Just curious because the photos you see on the internet are the extreme cases and not the norm.
Isn't Russell and family vegan?
You're reading too much into this. Bill Maher supports the lab leak theory in the full episode
@@jacksparrow3025 To answer your 1st question, yes. To answer the second, yes. Raising animals in small stalls on urine and feces soaked concrete is not how we farmed. Small and medium sized family farms are on severe decline. Have you seen factory chicken or egg facilities? They're atrocious. Our chickens roamed around outdoors, as did our cattle and hogs.
If Russell was a game character his charisma would be game breaking.
6:04 omg what a line never thought of it that way. Hilarious
The apex of the show. Seriously. 🎉🎉🎉
Russell's face during the "wet market" talk is priceless.
So was!! Thanks for pointing it out 😂😂😂😂😂
He knows that cultural values are not as much of a threat as pharmaceutical research labs
Lol I was thinking the same
Lol. Legit. The silence speaks volumes.
Lol I had the same face in solidarity 😮
Bernie and Russell together on the same show... that was awesome.
Bernie is a clown
Bernie Sanders isn't going to do anything for you, it's the act of a sociopath. The $14trillion to the Pentagon that Russell is talking about, Bernie voted for nearly all of it.
"International cooperation" as he votes to arm/back/fund literal zeehile Notsees, expand Nato whilst saber-rattling with a nuclear power that is trying to SAVE its people from those Notsees that Bernie Sanders fully supports.
Then also voted for the largest upward wealth transfer in human history at $5trillion in the C.A.R.E.S. Act that he _did not_ have to vote for, while Americans were starving and being evicted.
Then shouted down his _own former campaign manager_ in a crowd who demanded accountability for pushing us closer to nuclear war.
He just helped crush rail unions, which is committing actual fascism.
He won't push for Medicare4All in the middle of a pandemic that the NIH and government started.
Bernie is also 4th highest recipient in Congress of pharma lobbying. Biden is the first highest.
I love Russel ❤❤❤ nails it every time
I wish we choose Bernie for President. They know he's a real change maker for regular people.
Instead Bernie sold out for a vacation home.
I would love to watch Bernie and Russell have a three hour conversation about things that matter!!
This is the next best thing:

It's Bernie and an even better UK comic (who is much lesser known).
Absolutely! Genius idea!
Ole Bernie the war monger.
What is Bernie going to do?
Say something and do the opposite while taking money
I like Russell and think he makes great points, but I think he tends to filibuster a little too long and that makes it hard to have a great conversation sometimes. It can make for some very funny and entertaining conversation though and I think people do expect that from him, but if you had just him and Bernie for instance I would hope he would get a little more serious.
Russel and Bernie need to show up together more often!
Not Bernie, Russell is naive and wrong about Bernie Sanders loving American, Bernie is a socialist lover of Russia who want America to be like Russia where nobody owns anything and everyone makes same low wages while Bernie and others have all the money with no recourse against them cuz freedom doesn't exist in a socialist society!!! Facts!!
Russel will steer you right in the ditch. NO ONE with sense listens to this crackpot
Bernie is a total waste of hot bloated air. Typical do-nothing politician
That was awesome!!!! Please have This panel 🙏 on more. 😊
I love Russell's face when he started talking about COVID and the animals ha ha. It was a "Meeeehhhhh, should I jump in here"
“They didn’t. I did” love that response from Bernie
Ohhh America, you missed a great opportunity to improve lives for all Americans - by not voting Bernie Sanders for President.. It's frightening how the USA (and more Western countries, like some of us also here in Europe) are becoming more like so called '3rd world' countries, where the 1% are getting richer and richer. And the remaining 99% are finding it harder to manage.. ???? 🤔🤔
@@MartinaMcDonagh he would have done nothing.
@@MartinaMcDonaghI'm not saying it wouldn't have been great, but Bernie would've had a hard time getting anything through, and any Executive Order he signed would've been challenged before the ink dried. Look at the fight over student loan debt forgiveness. It was only 10K, which is nowhere near what Bernie wanted to do,, but there are two lawsuits are sitting with the SCOTUS right now.
@@MartinaMcDonagh If you think that 99% of Americans are finding it harder to manage things now than they did in the past, you haven't lived long enough to know what things were like in the past. There is no point in the past in which even the average low income American was as well off as they are now. When I was a kid in the 1970s, thousands of Americans were dying in an overseas war, inflation was far higher than it has been recently, along with a recession where many were out of work, and you had to wait in line for an hour to put gas in your car. There was no Obamacare to help people get health insurance, and there was tons of crime in the cities, far worse than now. The only reason anything has gotten worse in the very last few years is because of Covid's effects on the economy (and some of the mistaken attempts to fix it). But things are still better than they were then, and even very poor Americans have many more consumer products and conveniences than at any time in the past.
@@MartinaMcDonagh They did vote for Bernie. Did you miss the Wikileaks revelations? Clinton cheated Bernie, that is why Trump won.
Russell's face when Bill brings up the wet market...worth the entire episode.
Bill did a final New Rule about factory farming and the threat of pandemics, epidemics, and antibiotic resistance.

Yes, because he knows it is a lie. Russell is very involved in Covid 19 and studies it thoroughly, Unlike Bill Maher.
Yes, we all know Covid came from a LAB in China. The whole animals statement is part of the propagansda machine. Climate change is just an excuse to tax you and control you. It's an evil.
@@Carol-wo3jo The origins of Covid might be disputed but the ‘torturing of animals before we eat them’ IS THE POINT

One of the best shows and overtime in a long time. Please have more people like Russell and Bernie Sanders
Russell Brand, my god. Crushed every moment and held his ground. Masterful dance of calling out BS disguised as the lesser evil.
At least Bill invites guests with different views and opinions. Showing that people who disagree with you are not enemies and you don’t have to hate them. It is nice to see Russell .
Really? Where is Jimmy Dore? Lee Camp? Briahana Joy grey? Sabby Sabs? Ron Placone? Aaron Mate? Max Blumenthal? Richard Medhurst? Hell, ebven Krystal Ball won't be asked back.

Russel had so much restraint when they were talking about the wet market. I would have immediately started arguing with their bs
He has a point about antibiotic resistance (if that's what he's referring too)
However, covid is more than likely from a lab. (Intentional or accidental)
@@bryanjk Let's be real here.. it was 100% intentional. Look at the response to it... there have been plenty of much more deadly viruses around, NONE of them got even close to the reaction covid got. None of them got trillions of dollars in funding, none of them got mandatory anything, none of them basically shut the whole country down for almost a year...
It was a huge wealth redistribution, and as a added bonus, they got to take down trump with it.
Russell is very intelligent , he has a way of bringing forth the truth, in a funny comedic way. 😊🤣😆🤣😆
The reason Russell is so great is because he is a terrific comedian and he is able to speak about human nature in a way that speaks with us as opposed to speaking “at” us. The problem with MSM is that there is a clear distinction between agenda and truth. I say think about this…who is on the right side of history Socrates and Pluto or the ones who screamed heresy when they challenged the ‘establishment”?

Russell Brand is a shockingly unexpected breath of fresh air. Bill saying 'it comes from Animals' was a reminded of that the old Bill is still in there deep down.
Yeah, totally ignored all the evidence that says it came from a lab.
He is a younger, more centric version of Bernie. Bernie is THE OG honest government representative who doesn’t take shit from billion dollar corporate shitheads.
Someone needs to let him know that Moderna patented DNA was found in COVID.
Maybe he'll mention it in two more years.
the very first emails/calls to fauchi they literally said the mutation in commie virus 19 weren’t possible to come from nature but could be made in a lab
Yet still uninformed and narrow-minded. Many experts believe it's lab leak but haven't said anything because there'd be huge backlash against Asians. Look what happened when trump called it China flu!
I would not expect a Joy Division t-shirt on a show like this, great!

... and, FWIW, he drives me nuts. He is clearly hyper-intelligent. But - and it didn't really happen on this show - he SO often works his way down into an admittedly inventive rabbit hole - relishing its inventiveness and thoroughly enjoying ridiculing anyone who dare think otherwise. The anachronistic thing? He grotesquely overplays it, to my taste - beyond any notion of productive paradigm-breaking and well into the realm of pure self-promotion. Here, he demonstrated the quality of respectful disagreement that I relish - on his own blogs? Nahh.
UPDATE: There was a section of this episode in which the economic effects of Brexit on the UK's recovery from covid was discussed, showing that the UK's recovery, due to Brexit, was the worst in the G7. It turns out that the forecasts were way off. John Burn-Murdoch of the Financial Times (which has been highly critical of Brexit) tweeted a few days ago: “Vibe shift, economic data edition: After the latest GDP revisions, turns out the UK economy had recovered to its pre-pandemic size by the end of 2021, has recovered more strongly than Germany, and roughly as strongly as France.' Heilemann and Maher were WRONG!!!
My go to for real material. Thank you Russel
Gotta love keeping the “wet market” theory alive😂
For Real 😂
It's perfect irony cause it plays on xenophobic ideas that Chinese eat bat soup to try to stop people from the xenophobic "china virus" rhetoric
9 departments came out with reports, 3 said they came from a lab, 5 said wet market, 2 inconclusive. All were made with low confidence. So to imply that the lab leak idea is 100% correct is just as ignorant as people that say it's 100% wet market
Jeez. I don't know how Russell kept his mouth shut.
People who love logic, rational thinking, and keeping all options on the table until proper proof and evidence has arisen will also love keeping all theories alive. Those who gullibly commit themselves to the most sensational sounding theory right from the get-go will continue to be pretentiously condescending.

The founders of the labor movement viewed unions as a vehicle to get workers more of the profits they help create. Government workers, however, don’t generate profits. They merely negotiate for more tax money. When government unions strike, they strike against taxpayers. F.D.R. considered this “unthinkable and intolerable.”
Government collective bargaining means voters do not have the final say on public policy. Instead their elected representatives must negotiate spending and policy decisions with unions. That is not exactly democratic - a fact that unions once recognized.
Russell Brand is one of the most articulate, complex thinkers of our time. I love this human being.
Russell is like one of those rare people that talks with everyone and doesn’t get banned for doing so. You have to be a special kind of person for that and he nailed it.

You would’ve never ever heard that come out of somebody on Fox News is now 15 years or so ago and that’s only been maybe in the past seven years they’ve come out to be more moderate in the past 7 to 10 years and I’m thankful for that. I’m conservative about a few things, but I am moderate conservative about others and a moderate about other things, and open till about 10 years ago I didn’t think that any media sat with my personality style.. I woke up in the middle of the night around 2007 and it was two in the morning and I was watching Red Eye on Fox News of all channels and that was the first time I saw Greg Gutfeld and I understood why he was on late night and now he’s got an 11 PM show and he’s hilarious

That filthy piece of garbage, Russell Brand left disgusting messages on Andrew Sachs' answerphone about his granddaughter.
Bill's shallow attempt to compromise Russel Brand in 5 seconds or less over the origins of SARS-COV-2 was a cheap shot and really offended his guest. There's a reason Russel Brand has three times the viewership that Bill Maher has. People like to have two sided conversations, not just one guy's opinion on a fast moving format.
California, known as the Golden State, once gave us Ronald Reagan and was the envy of the states. Today, California has the highest concentration of homelessness and welfare of any state in the country with Democrats in full control of every major political office as well as every major city including Los Angeles and San Francisco. Republicans are ignored as Democrats force policies that create more poverty and homelessness including:
Rent Control: In theory it sounds good to prevent rent from increasing on poor; but multiple studies show it causes housing shortages that reduce the number of low-income people who can live in a city while raising the demand for housing. Further, it deters new housing construction and worsens the homelessness problem creating more homelessness than homes avaliable. And the highest drug use and crime and so on.

Russell absolutely cutting through the smoke and mirrors and dominating the headlines around the show. He's not the journalist we deserve, but he's the journalist we need.
He's dead on and he's saying what a lot of smarter Americans, and people around the world, have been pulling their hair out about for years.
Brand has a long history of abuse and addiction. Throughout his life, his addictions and predilections have been varied, ranging from eating disorders to pornography addiction before resulting in excessive drug and alcohol use. He has also been diagnosed with ADHD and bipolar disorder, two factors that likely contributed to the growing cycle of abuse.
At the peak of his abuse, there were few drugs Brand wasn’t willing to take. Heroin was a personal favorite, but he also used crack, marijuana, meth, alcohol and hallucinogens.
@@mrit409proofnotfeelings7 Don't we all have problems? I don't think that makes him any less right just because he's had some struggles.
Brand is a conspiracy theorist who doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about. He thinks the world economic forum is some shadow Illuminati organization and thinks Bill Gates is trying to kill people to reduce the population. Please, for the love of god, do not take anything he says seriously.
@@mrit409proofnotfeelings7 and then, he got clean. Seems like a role model of perseverance. You don't need to emulate his early career to find positive traits of his current self.
hes red pilled and out of touch sure....lol
I can't remember the last time I heard a politician say, "I don't know." Sometimes "I don't know" is the best answer.
I am convinced Russel is the god of conversations. This man analyzes the whole room while setting tone. I have never seen some one this skilled this is a prodigy...
Russel Brand and Bernie Sanders together is AMAZING!!!
They should run as Independents in 2024...could you see Russell Brand as vice president and he is intelligent and would" flabbergast the stupid Republicans and McCarthy wouldn't stand a chance in a debate against Russell Brand!!
id be there for it
@@lindadeal3344 😂 mate, brand is BRITISH, not everyone can be president. Plus they have completely opposing views.
When did Bernie become a neo-con?
@@lindadeal3344 Except Bernie is a slave to the DNC. His job is to sheep-herd uninformed leftists into voting against their own interests by perpetuating the lie that there's a difference between the two parties. Bernie doesn't have 1/100th the honesty, integrity and truthfulness that Russel speaks with. Bernie like all the other 70+ year olds in Congress need to retire, they've done enough damage to this country.
Russell Brant made this episode the best Bill Maher episode is years!!!!
What a refreshing perspective with a comedic delivery.
I thought it was one of the worst of all time. Brand had to hijack every conversation and scream over everyone because he knows he's full of crap. Anyone crying, "MSNBC is just as bad as Faux" is a complete idiot.
Ball cancer is funnier than Russell Brand.
@@gutenbird He's a flat-out moron.
@@timweaver7826 Excuse me anyone that thinks MSNBC is much better is the idiot.
MSNBC, FOX, CNN are ALL evil, which one is the worst is a futile rabbit hole.
Dylan Ratigan exposed the corruption at MSNBC & got fired.
Phil Donahue spoke against the war & got fired.
Cenk from TyT just released revealed how MSNBC would not let him speak against corporations.
Even an Obama appointed judge declared Rachel Maddow not a real news show & not to be considered serious, same as that idiot Tucker Carlson.
All these media giants are all bought!!!
@@SubnetMaskedMan Is CNN and MSNBC perfect? Of course not. But only complete in-bred idiots think they flat-out lie non-stop like Faux does. Your hero Russell was asked for just one example and couldn't do it.
Russels face when they're talking about wet markets is priceless
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Brand is a legend. For an actor, he gets what’s happening.
