So how many kids were in cages under obama vs trump? Who really cares when a picture was taken? How about the actual facts that matter to the argument.
“The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses.” ― Malcolm X
They don't control the minds of the masses but they are responsible for filtering what we are able to see and hear and hinder our ability to make informed decisions.
@@mogznwaz They also control the topics and the narrative angle which is really the whole issue as far as power to manipulate. Whatever topic they decide to focus on is what we the people are forced to confront in our interactions with each other. If they decided tomorrow to talk about how wearing high heels is a sign of male oppression and anyone seen in them is basically a slave to the patriarchy we would all be having this conversation. People would be apologizing and scrubbing their videos if they appeared in high heels. Then shoe companies would apologies for ever making high heel shoes as they are now woke and will discontinue production. It's all so sickening how easy it is to get the ball rolling with our media.
@@LivingLegendMe I believe she meant that Brand's commentary here is SOCIALLY neutral. He's obviously a lefty, and he indicates it many times throughout the video. But his political criticisms are merely asides, as he's concentrating on Donald's character, personality, charisma and ability to genuinely connect to people who are willing to listen to him. Brand seems socially neutral here because he's doing something we are unaccustomed to seeing.... as a leftist (or maybe a centrist, as the rules are a bit different from the perspective of a Brit who is more likely to thumb their nose at nationalism for a country which was once a colony to their empire, but I digress) he is actually giving credit where he feels it's due. And he's not even going out of his way to do it... he very plainly frames his objective perspective of Trump's social traits separately from his political policies.... we NEVER see that. Most liberal commentators weren't willing to be that objective or kind to Reagan back during his era in the white house, and it's obvious to all of us that political media had become so much more rabid since then. So yeah.... Brand is being REFRESHINGLY fair while discussing a president and candidate whom he highly disagrees with. And I appreciate that.
I don't mind that Russell Brand is wrong on the kids in cages thing or that his politics are different. The fact that he is willing to give Trump credit & have a discussion without acting like a seething, rabid lunatic..is a breath of fresh air. Also, if he is watching Trump rally videos, that means he is attempting to try to understand Trump himself instead of letting the fake news spoon feed him their opinions.
I totally agree with you it was nice for once in a long time to watch someone else’s political views and ideas without being called a racist and being shame because I’m a Trump supporter it was definitely a breath of fresh air as you say :)
I wouldn't go so far as to say he's giving Trump credit for anything beneficial to Americans. Instead, he's pointing out the apparent lack of realization on the left that they're lost in a fog of their own making such that they cannot properly analyze their political surroundings. Brand is calling to his side to use some common sense, long abandoned by his side of the political spectrum.
This is why I love Russell Brand, disagree with him on all policy but he’s not a maniac like so many people. He’s willing to have a conversation about policy and ideas, not attack people.
And this is what will eventually bring him over to our side - it takes time, but when you start to look at the issues honestly and are willing to talk with the other side, you start to have your mind changed. Just look at Tim Pool - it's a slow process, but every day he gets closer and closer to outright supporting Trump. He's even now saying that were the election held today he'd probably for for him. Russell Brand likely won't be there by election time, but will probably get there eventually.

@@SunnyHippies thats because most people vote for personalities over policies. Theyre mad at trump for kids in cages at the border but it happened under obama. They called trumps stimulus an election bribe but not obamas stimulus. Launched A failed trump impeachment that we all knew was baseless. Thats what russell is saying. The reasoning behind the trump hate is immature petty and personal. No one is discussing any policy. All ppl do is call him orange or cheeto which btw gets one written off as an idiot by everyone else.
@Jessica H I'm a POC and I've met racist people on both sides, but never more than on the left. They have lost their minds, trying to fight supposed systemic racism with systemic racism. People are racist, not the system. If it was I wouldn't have half the things I have. In fact no one believed in me when I was growing up because I was a disadvantaged youth who came from a poor working class family, who lost her mum, had an abusive father, was sexually abused by dirty old predatory men and as a result school was nothing more than a fun escape with friends for me, learning was the last thing on my mind. Life sucked for a long time because I was stuck in this victim mindset. And even though the things I experienced were terrible, dwelling on the trauma made me hateful which clouded my mind and my judgement. But when I let go of the victim mentality my life literally changed, I went back to school, got my degree and now I'm a home owner, the first in my family and also the first with a degree... I encountered racist white people when I was studying. I encountered more non racist white people than racist, but the racists didn't hinder my ability to achieve all that I have... because its the people who are racist, not the system.
I think Mr Brand is far beyond the point of caring if anyone respects him. He’s just being himself and doing what feels right for him without looking for external validation or “respect” from others
Of course bc ur a Republican. This helped u understand he doesn’t bleed a color like u. He doesn’t care what affiliation u have or watch Fox or CNN. This is what he’s always been about, truth and an educated opinion.
And when it was UNDENIABLY known that the Taliban was receiving BOUNTIES for killing US soldiers - by IRAN - Obama SPRUNG into ACTION...and released $150 BILLION to Iran!
That would entail engaging in original thought and/or research - not modern American society's greatest strength, on the whole. (I'm speaking as an American, not a foreigner, to be clear.)
TPP was horrendous, I keep thinking Russell will wake up, does he know who built the cages? Biden is late stage dementia, and not an insult, he is genuinely in a poor state, incapable of being in public. Most people in North africa have no time for Obama. Which part of the world has Trump tore up?
Yes you are correct Trump did indeed get rid of TPP. However, later when mostly no one was paying attention he renegotiated some of the most detrimental parts of it into the new NAFTA agreement. All in all it just goes to show you that it's all a spectator sport. Donald Trump, Joe Biden, nor any politicians in the US truly give two shits about any of us at this point. No matter what side of the political aisle we sit on. We shouldn't expect perfection from our politicians, but we should certainly expect them to fight for us more than just tossing out bread crumbs pretending like they address any of the problems we have. It's beginning to feel and seem more like that we don't have two parties in the US. We have politicians who put a letter at the end of their names and pretend to be different. While when the cameras are turned off are chumming it up with each other and laughing at us for buying the act.
Russell is actually starting to twig something about what Trump's about. Better late than never, I suppose, but some of us have known this for years. Unfortunately, Russell spoils his psychological analysis by trying to address economic issues, an area where he has little credibilty.
Trump got rid of the Trans Pacific Partnership in his first week. Obama brought in those cages. Just a couple of facts Russell chooses to not only ignore, but twists around to attack Trump. Lousy history from Russell. As for policies, which he says he's interested in, he actually largely ignores Trump's policies and achievements.
Too old to be running a country they need to make an age limit for presidents this is rediculous both candidates are senile and completely detached from the current status quo
I admit, I didn't give Russell the time of day before, but now listening to him, he has a lot of wisdom and is a wonderful human being who I can see cares about his fellow humanity 🙂
What I find entertaining and amusing is his quick wit and under the breath analogies with sarcasm. So funny & spot on. He doesn't do it much or at all in this video but some where he's wound up in true adhd fashion of beating their way out of the box
No... he is spouting "Reset", nothing is of his own.. different package... same product... you will own nothing and you... Will be happy. We all know the lefts history and how it deals with real thinkers...!
Thinking for yourself? Does that include NOT having the likes of Trumps insanity thinking for you either? Or are people still falling for that BS too while grabbing there pitchforks?
Here is another quote from T.J. “Honesty is the first chapter of the book wisdom.” - Perhaps Trump should read some of President Jeffersons' works. ― Thomas Jefferson

@@NanNan-vd4hk That was meant to be a joke right? About trump being honest? Because if not, that might actually be the dumbest and most outrageously idiotic thing I have ever heard in my entire life.
Wow! I've been avoiding the news for the past 5 years, being tagged as ignorant, unpatriotic and not having a right of being heard. This is the exact rationale I give, even not knowing this quote up until now!
This is how to control people, dividing into groups with predetermined characteristics, but allowing a very lively debate about nonsense like how someone looks or walks thereby dumbing people down
I don't support Trump but I expect him to win the election in November this year. Why? Because if the main issue is Law & Order, the Democrats can't possibly win. They're weak on that subject, and most ordinary voters absolutely hate chaos and disorder, because it makes running their small businesses impossible.
From Russells own words he's of the libertarian left, an anarchist. Not particularly ideological but equally he can't be boxed with professional politicians - he's far from all of them
I am a Republican to the core but I have so much respect and liking for people like Russell who engage in respectful debates and conversations. I am actually willing to listen to democratic views due to a man like this.
This is what I was just thinking . I'm a Republican who wants to have and hear conversations like this even though we may disagree. But it's hard to have a conversation nowadays.
I believe in people. I believe your average man or woman is pretty relaxed, and whether they’re left wing of right wing, they kind of have moderate opinions, and don’t really care if someone else thinks differently or not. What’s causing so many problems, are the fucking morons that are radically leftist or radically right wing. If only the coronavirus only attacked morons with radical mindsets, I don’t think anyone would be in a rush to find a vaccine if that were the case, lol.
Russell is a remnant of what a discussion in political differences used to be. But always remember, Democrat or Republican, both sides have interests in keeping you silent.
Finally a celebrity that shows he is really thinking through these issues...I don't agree with everything Russell brand says but certainly more of a fan of Russell brand himself now. I'm tired of celebrities out pushing their leftist agenda all the time while they live "superior" lifestyles that make them out of touch with the general public.
I agree with you my friend this was the first time I was able to listen to someone else’s Political views without feeling like a racist Trump supporter it’s been a long time if the left could have more conversations like this where we can actually sit down and have a talk and get to the issues today this world would be a better place instead of name-calling And race baiting
Not only are celebrities "typically" out of touch but so are most rich Americans. They are always thinking someone richer than them needs to be the ones fixing all the problems in the world such as helping the poor via ideas like welfare for all through socialism. Even two teachers living together in the US are still top in 1%er world wealth no matter how poor they feel as they drink their five buck coffees. Most actual millionaires are first generation and worked hard for their money and they DO help people with it and if you look at US businesses they are taxed the highest in the world, that actually needs to change to bring jobs home. Wait till all the people crying poor (due to their chosen debt caused by Target trips) find out they are the "rich" that get taxed. I don't feel poor and we make way less than the average pay of two teachers but as a Christian I feel it's part of my job to help those in need "directly" and make a real impact verse handing that fully over to seven middle man where only a dime of every dollar(hey like March of dimes) even reaches who it's intended for. People like to act like people are standing in their way from getting things done, no one is standing in any ones way and things can get done. Trump proved that. I didn't vote for him the last time and couldn't stand him until only recently but I will vote for Trump and Republicans this time as they are more proven when you dig. The media fully lies about him and others and covers up what men like Trump actually do. Kids in cages? More like 75,000 "unaccompanied" minors given the "RIGHT" (praise God!) to trial after they were wrongly muled to the US. Trump didn't ask them to come but literally watched as Democrats and celebrities literally lied to these people and the whole of the US to use them as political pawns, sick! As often as you can still talk to people and IRL. By the grace of God I have literally helped homeless people break the cycle during this time because what they needed isn't a defunding of the police in favor of another OUT OF TOUCH social worker telling them they are oppressed because of their skin or who the president is. What people need is business savvy Republicans and Christian friends who will respect them as part of the same spiritual family and human race telling how to get away from the system of oppressive dependency Democrats have set up, and history doesn't lie, and hurt them for years. Look up the cities that have followed Democrat policy for decades, high funding, high crime rates, high poverty, high ill-literacy rates OF EVEN HIGH SCHOOL "GRADUATES," and if you missed it before HIGH FUNDING and a whole lot of mispending and weird ideas on equality being lower standards. This is America, I went from losing my job to owning a successful business no one judged me by my race or gender no matter how many times those wanting to "help" me said that I would be. I woke up. People need to wake up. Type your household income into a world wealth calculator and stop believing the news when it acts like Americans with our big houses, eating out, hospitals that are nicer than some 5 star hotels and our entertained to death lifestyle are soooo poor. No the US has wel-fare for the poor and yes it is still a hard life where being poor can become a full time job but no matter how hard the middle class wants to think they are poor, they are not, they will be who gets taxed if they want a socialist country and that means they will have less and not more. Math. I have taken homeless people to appointments it's no joke that once the bread or med is "free" you wait in a long line for it. People need to stop acting like "someone else" should do something to fix issues. Fix issues and stop waiting to vote for someone who will magically make all the problems disappear. Joe was in office for nearly 48 years and he only cared about "talking" about issues. Trump, no matter how much I hate how he sounds, did SOMETHING and is getting better at the job every day. Just look at the business deal stuff he is accomplishing with TIKTOK. Trump is a business man, a show man, and a man that cares about the country and NOT the media now paints.
Kim Anderson plus the opening of the trade doors metaphorically speaking to canadian pharmaceuticals has lowered prices across the board for those with mental illnesses. Trumps changes have been positive enough for the people that there are tangible and noticeable improvements to quality of life, whereas in other presidencies that, especially economic, deviation has been much more minute.
In 2015, my wife and I were always trying to figure out what we could do without or put off to cover our expenses. In 2020, we try to figure out how we ended up with so much extra cash at the end of every month, then to decide if we should save it or put it towards things we’ve always wanted but couldn’t afford. And that’s no bullshit. It’s unreal how incredible he’s been to us workers. I guess if i was perpetually unemployed I’d want a Democrat as president. Thank god I have enough dignity that that’s not the case. Working people keep the country alive.

A lot of people make short statements about how they feel a certain way about something, especially on social media, but when you want to have an actual discussion about your views on these topics, they won't. (not referring to anyone in particular, anyone could do this) It's just refreshing to hear someone talking about their opinions like this, if only I had friends like that 😭
That was also a tragedy, poor handling of detained minors who came unaccompanied. The Trump admin definitely started mass enforcing the atrocious policy of forced family separation and detention. Systemic traumatisation.
You're so wrong.. This disgusting racist act of separating these children from their parents started with Trump and that's where it's going to end.. right now, D. Trump is trying to kill the elderly with this virus and after that, he is going after the children of the US by forcing them back to school. You can't relate, can you? If you have children, you better hope they don't go after yours.
@@SweetThing what u idiots don't get is many times those kids weren't with parents or any family member and couldve been victims of child sex trafficking qhich is why they started separating them until they could establish a real familial relationship thru DNA testing.

That is exactly how I feel! Maybe I'm just naturally rebellious, but the media was crying so loudly that it compelled me to take a second look at Trump's policies and any allegations. Their criticisms have been [sometimes] so outlandish and intense that I just had to see for myself, and low and behold! Much of the time, he's accomplished some great things that have never been acknowledged by any leftist or mainstream media outlet. Much of the time, the allegations against him have been twisted or staged. I don't agree with all that he does or says, but it almost seems like without the media, he wouldn't be as popular as he is!

Matthijs Michielsen the problem is, Trump never said to do that. He said is there a way to do the same thing inside your body? It may seem absurd to think along those lines but chemo is injecting toxic chemicals into your body to kill a disease. Did he say, “go buy a bottle of chlorox and inject it”? No... Now, the photos being from Obama’s era? That’s proven. It’s funny because I ask liberals and I ask them, “what should you do if someone commits a crime and their kid is with them?” I never, ever get an answer.
YES! And the Democrats who want open borders made speeches in favor of SECURE borders before Trump- You can even google them- Obama, Reid, Schumer, even Biden- Wanted SECURE borders and TIGHTER immigration laws! They are hypocritical traitors now just because Clinton lost.
The thing with kids in cages kills me because their parents broke the law and just like an American that breaks the law with kids involved the kids are separated from the parents and held till things are figured out

It goes back to Bill Clinton--the separation policy. The 'cage' pics were due to the serious overflow that resulted starting in 2012 and increasing 2014 due to...damn, I'm blanking on it. Some change in policy led to huge amounts of people attempting the crossing ca. 2014.

Dennis Leavitt The detention centers was an Obama air policy that he later recanted after he took criticism from Democrats because he say it was morally wrong. But if you think back Obama’s main policy was “catch and release” what he also caught a lot of criticism for.
The kids in cages exploded under Trump. Obama had the holding cells for a few days usually within 48 hours they were given to their parents once vetting was done. Trump has kept in cages for years and some of these kids have DIED in those cages. So your statement is disingenuous because Trump took something and made it a thousand times worse.
@@jalicea1650 Evidence? Evidence to show that it's policy and not a reflection of the increase in people seeking illegal entry?

A huge number of women and girls get raped by coyotes and cartelistas; children are trafficked as walking passports, drug meals, and of course for sexual reasons. Perhaps as many as a third. Is it better to leave those children as is? A thousand times worse is strong language.

POLITICO interviewed almost two dozen people, including administration officials, members of Congress and outsiders who contended with the administration’s response, and they described a litany of sadly familiar obstacles: vaccine shortfalls, fights over funding and sometimes contradictory messaging. “It is purely a fortuity that this isn’t one of the great mass casualty events in American history,” Ron Klain, who was Biden’s chief of staff at the time, said of H1N1 in 2019. “It had nothing to do with us doing anything right [if THAT were even possible with The Barry'n'Biden Show!].

For once in his pathetic life, he is finally going to pay for his indifference. The truth is, Mr. Brand has no idea what he is talking about because he has no clue how the "system" operates. The entire "Mainstream" Media is owned by 3 people. They tell their stations what stories to run and which to hide. This plays into the US Government's system which is an economic farm. The Two-Party system should be renamed to The Growers and the The Reapers. A Democrat is charged with growing the economy. The Republican is charged with reaping the economy for the benefit of the rich. A Democrat always wins when the economy is down/crashing or in recession. A Republican always wins when the economy is up and doing well. Do you honestly think "we the people" flip back and forth from Democrat to Republican on an 8 year average by choice? That some how people magically flip from being overly Liberal to overly Conservative on a cycle? Yeah, no. It's a system. The Democrats take seed money from the rich via taxation. The Republicans reap the economy by shifting the tax burden to the middle class and the poor. The tax credits are laundered through the stock market. Why do you think the only actual legislation, passed by Congress and signed by Trump in 4 years was the Tax law he touts. Why do you think Biden stated that the first thing he will do as president is reverse the Tax law? Look, both Trump and Biden have given the game away. Trump more so than Biden. Trump keeps saying that the election is rigged. IT is. It is ALWAYS rigged. Biden gave it away at the debate when Trump asked him why he didn't do anything for 47 years and Biden let it out, "Because you weren't here screwing things up!" Biden was forced out of retirement to fix the economy. This system has been in place since 1865 and it isn't even well hidden. If you lay out the state of the economy from 1865 to present day, then overlay that with who was elected president, you will find the pattern. Then when you start researching the key legislation that gets passed, it becomes very obvious. The economy is EVERYTHING and EVERYTHING is the economy. They care about nothing else. Not you, not me, not your family. UNLESS, our lives somehow impact the economy. Trump knows the game. The only reason he isn't being re-elected is because the economy crashed. His continued threats of cheating will be met with deaf ears. His cheats will be rigged to fail. The votes as cast will be successful in this election. The election is generally rigged when a Republican is required to reap and they do it the same way every time. Question the votes in certain states, and stop the recount when the Republican is ahead. Now, why don't they do this in every election? After all, Obama won TWICE without scandal, despite being the most hated Democrat in Republican history and despite Mitch McConnell saying that he would be a one-term president. This is also why no 3rd party will ever win. They are used to shift the people where the system needs them to go. That is why you can have Bernie Sanders harshly criticizing Democrats during the nomination period and then suddenly sing their praises after the nominee is selected. Legislation is drama and theater. Just like the Democrat/Liberal vs Republican/Conservative bull shit. It's all theater designed to keep you occupied and to steer you in the direction "they" want you to go in order to satisfy the economy. Racism is fine, because it doesn't impact the economy. Isolated violence is fine, it doesn't impact the economy. Sustained protests are NOT fine because it does impact the economy. The Pandemic is NOT fine because it killed the economy. Therefore, Trump will be replaced with Biden and Biden will perform his charged duty of switching the tax burden back to the rich. People will go out and spend ALL that money. Stocks will rise, etc. He also has to beat the pandemic to do it. He will do it in ways that will piss off Conservatives, but oh well. It is what it is, right? Once you understand how the government really works, you start to stop giving a fuck about politics. You start to realize how you have been used for years. You see the whole Libs vs Cons thing as a total brainwashed mind job. Live your life the way YOU want. Screw everything else. No one's team is going to win in the long run. It's a 16 year cycle with 8 years for your team and 8 years for the other team (on average. It depends on the economy.) IN this election, I am ok with the Dems taking over. They will bring with them all the scientific experts, the Pandemic Response team, and a full White House administration staff. We will let the CDC do its job and we will re-establish our relationship with W.H.O. and we will finally be put on a path for getting over this virus with the least number of deaths than the "Herd immunity" path Turmp has us on.
@@falcon048 okay lol cause democrats putting covid patients in nursing homes had nothing to do with the deaths .. Your TDS is strong .. Lol thinking that Biden will do anything is a joke... He had 47 years and failed.. Have a good day TRUMP2020!
@@Bibleease Good lort! The Propaganda is strong with you. So you aren't interested in the truth. You just spout whatever nonsense you think will trigger libs. Well, it's clear you didn't read my previous post. It doesn't matter what you think Biden will do or won't do. It doesn't matter what you think the Democrats did or will do. Biden wins the election no matter what you or I say. It almost doesn't matter what the votes are. Democrats will win because the economy is down and it doesn't matter how it happened. Good luck with the 4 years of Biden.
I appreciate your fair treatment of Trump. I am a Trump supporter and an extreme conservative. You and I disagree on many points, but it is refreshing to hear a liberal viewpoint from an intellectually honest position. Thank you for being honest with yourself and your viewers. I enjoy your videos. Keep them coming.
That doesn't detract from the fact that Trump is a far right, racist. RB was too soft with this presentation. But as the saying goes: those that are financially comfortable don't understand the REAL misery of others.
@@scottscott232 Hey Steve, I'm curious. What makes being "far-right" wrong? Just because you're not "far-right" doesn't make it wrong. Is everyone who disagrees with you evil or stupid? Why do you say Trump is a racist? Michelle Obama has made far more racist comments but yet you don't call her racist. Why is that Steve? No, seriously, why is securing our borders considered racist when the first thing that the "far-left" did in CHOP was build barriers with armed guards to keep people out. Why was that not racist? Why do you assume I am "financially comfortable?" Is it because I'm white? Why did you assume I'm white? Did you racially profile me because of the spelling of my last name? Why did you even feel it necessary to comment on my post? Do you hold animosity against me because of my political views? How very racist of you. Look in the mirror and hate yourself. Maybe then you can leave the rest of the world alone to have the freedom to think for ourselves and express opposing viewpoints. Intellectuals respect free thinkers and never categorize them. Only racist pigs do that. Please don't oink in my direction anymore.

Hi mark 👋 I’m a college student from Ireland and I’m currently putting together a documentary about segregation caused by the media. I’d like to get some comments from you if possible?
2:42 I normally agree with you, however when you get a chance, Google “CNBC Charlottesville speech”. Build a van diagram. Put four circles in the main circle. The first circle represents the protesters that had a permit to be there lawfully. The second circle represents the protesters that were counter protesting the first set. The third circle represents the rioters from the left, who are there to do damage and harm, like BLM, anTifa etc. The fourth circle represents the rioters from the far right, that were there to do damage and harm, like white supremacists, Atomwaffen, etc. When the president referred to good people on both sides, he was referring to those in the first and second groups. He clearly denounced the third and fourth groups. Globalist media, like big Pharma, twisted his words. Cory Booker is an example of somebody preserving and conserving that lie. There are many others. Read what Black Lives Matter says on their own website of what they believe. I personally think there wanting to tear down the western family is detrimental to our society. If the people in our society had better parents, the prisons would be less full.
To be fair, even if he became a full blown Trump supporter in his head, I doubt we'd know about it publicly. The mob would cancel him faster than Biden would sniff an unattended child.
I think the truth is getting a lot less easy to ignore, and as it slowly dawns on public people (such as Mr. Brand) they may realise they could have a much broader and protective audience than they could ever believe. They simply need to say publicly what they may believe in private.
👍 It takes someone who primarily comes from another country to look into America and give us some insight that beams like a supernova! Thanks Russell 👍
@@Fidgetbear911 Brand, as I took it, hate doesn't win hate and incompetence. The dems are currently incapable being better than. Its hate on hate. Trump is a dishonest charlatan, and the only way to out do him is to be better than him. Dems are copying Republicans, and they will lose to that.
“Kids in cages” was an Obama era pic, wasn’t it? Media dropped it after this was proven. Anyway, neither here nor there, completely compelling breakdown with pragmatism. I find when you breakdown points I feel I may disagree with, they are still very palpable and I can fully understand why you feel these ways. Nowadays it’s very common when you ask for an explanation to get vile words and violent rhetoric.
Alibaster Crenshaw actually. The reason kids get put in cages is because Democrats tried to be clever and made it law that they couldn’t be allowed to be unattended or separated in the system from family. They thought this would force the release of detainees. It had the adverse effect.
Most of his policies are actually Democrat policies. Somewhere there's a montage of the Dems castigating Trump for their own views. If it's still around. Wapo has one actually on here that shows the illegal immigration volley.
Nice scapegoat, kids in cages have occurred under both presidencies. Both parties of capitalism are just as corrupt as one another and ultimately support the interests of capital as that is its design.
Actually not really, there was an ICE official that made a memo saying that the USA should use family separation under the Obama administration, but the administration rejected that idea. Then the Trump administration took that memo, did family separation and spun this narrative that it was some how Obama. When we had that surge of immigrants in 2014, a good portion of them were unaccompanied children, which overwhelmed our boarders. Why did it overwhelm our boarders? Because rather than just let them into our country, we have a bunch of Republican nationalist that don't want immigrants at all, plus they are children and we would need to find them housing. Housing cost money, the house and the Senate control spending, this is part of the balance of power within our branches of government.
Yes and Obama had 8yrs to reform police (a state issue Mr Brand), remove statues (another state issue) reform the racist jail penalty legislation brought by Senator Joe Biden in 1994 and passed during Bill Clinton's Presidency (he didn't stop it) Trump started prison sentence reform day one I won't list Trump's accomplishments because I am not a Trumpster but the problem with the media is that they do not cover his accomplishments. Mr. Brand needs to go find out what he's done since in office.
@@phoenix5054 taxes are not for making people 'pay their fair share' in the first place. They're to pay the bills. We don't have a tax problem we have a spending problem.
@@SethDavidson68 Not accurate. America both has a problem on the tax revenues AND spending. Meanwhile, tax breaks did not necessarily have the benefits sold to the public. Many companies who benefitted from this, and argued that this will drive their investment and hiring, actually used it for stock buybacks and fired people AFTER the bill was passed. It was a sham.
Many of those kids were sent by their parents not with them anyway, they are getting better treatment here with cps rather than being recycled for human traffickers, which use them to distract from the drug mules.
the majority of those kids were found to be rented to people smugglers to give border crossers the appearance of family units, improving their chance of entering successfully.
Dude me too!! Im a trans man thats been left to run from the cult of the left. These people are sick. They don't want equality they want power. They will use the cloak of equality to get it. Our dem leaders have been failing us forever. They don't even have a platform this year (I swear joe is banking on knowing the obamas and not being trump and very little else). How do I know? Because I watched the dumpster fire that was the dnc. Biden is a terrible candidate and we chose a fucking cop (a HORRIBLE one at that). They handed us a plate of shit and said "eat it or will call you racist". Im done. I never thought I'd be saying this but.. Trump 2020 If biden wins will all end up being subject to whatever the far left wants. Also, ANTIFA and BLM are loaded concepts. They don't mean what they claim to mean. They are domestic terrorists.
@@kenosabi I'm so glad someone else has noticed that Biden literally has no platform this election. Like what is the guy running on? TBH Hillary had the same problem, what was her platform? They both ran campaigns that tell people reasons to not vote for Trump, but doesn't provide any reasons to vote for them.
If that's the standard you strive for then you have some low expectations. It's not about having the lowest unemployment. The way I see it is the lower the unemployment the more wage slaves there are in society that depends heavily on their job for their survival. Not the ideal way of thinking for such a society to move forward.
libtards base their actions on their emotions, the liberal news knows this that's why they manipulate them by making up fake stories , edit stories, make everything about race ..because they know people make the worst decisions when they base it on their emotions rather than their brain.

Or when he said "utterly and completely exonerated" (to which Mueller, himself, made a press conference to say that Drumpf was factually incorrect). "Lured in"...?

@@thehonestdoctor3590 Okay, sure. It would be wrong to disagree. However, when the guy spends his days tweeting silly shit, one out of a hundred is going to actually contain some truth. But that's hardly sufficient output for a President to deliver. After all, sophisticated media consumers have always known about inherent bias. It applies to MSM, no doubt, but Faux News is also not to be believed. And individual media personalities (e.g. Alex Jones) are even less credible. Drumpf needs to get off the golf course, stop twittering, and READ his Intel briefings. His deflections onto various "boogie men" doesn't camouflage his bumbling and incompetence. And that's why he's about to become the BEST impeached, single-term President, EVER.
I literally just gone writing a comment roughly about this. I remember being like a freshman in high school and thinking he was hilarious in the first movie I saw him in in America. Then I looked him up and cringed. Over the years I think the man is one of the few celebrities that you can see his rate of change. I think I would not agree with him on a lot to this day, but I think the man has learned so much and changed so much that I don’t feel like I’d be ‘cancelled’ for doing so

I voted for him the first time out of morbid curiosity! I kinda wanted to see the 3-ring circus play out. After all, none of Obama's policies really affected me, why should Trump's? And besides that, did anyone REALLY think that Hillary was a good choice? NOW, I am voting for Trump with strong conviction! Complete opposite of my Obama mentality.

Russell, your viewpoints are a breath of fresh air. It's a nice change from the typical, juvenile rants we hear from liberals these days. You explain how you are not a fan of President Trump's policies while the rest of the left mocks his hand size, the way he drinks or walks, and his hair.

Brilliant analysis done here. I voted for Mr. Trump, don't much like some of his style, demeanor, but he is a real person, and the other options have never been. I've never met him, but he talks like a man I could talk to easily, like him or not. Thanks for taking the time and effort to state the facts, it's refreshing.
Trump is not a politician, and is courageous enough to take on corrupt politicians. That is why we voted him in office, to work, not to make empty promises!
You are completely mistaken. There is no one more corrupt than tRump and he's destroying our democracy. Once gone, it is difficult, if not impossible, to get it back.
His cabinet is made up entirely of corrupt, career politicians. So "take on corrupt politicians", no. He just traded corrupt Democratic politicians, with corrupt Republican politicians. And that's fine if that all you want, but at least be honest about what it is. He didn't drain the swamp, he merely swapped one swamp for another.
@@royderouin7510 Most examples they can think of in reference to him lieing, are really misrepresentations by the media, or him bragging in a half joking fashion or something. I'm sure he's told some sort of lie directed to the public or his constituents but I can't even think of one directly. Compared to most politicians that lie about literally everything all the time, it is actually an improvement.
Yes, but you can tell he's just worried about being canceled, so he has to keep throwing in he doesn't like trump. Sad that this is the world we live in.
He was spot on in his analysis of the left’s dealing with Trump, and why people like him. He was wrong in his assessment of Trump’s policies. Literally no group is worse off after 4 years of trump than they were when he took over. Even the Middle East is talking about chilling out. I’d be interesting in knowing what those detrimental effects, Russell speaks of, are.
Redistributing wealth by heavy taxation and public welfare is one way. But, those who get on the government dole never make it above the poverty line, plus, they rarely become productive members of society or taxpaying members themselves. Heavily taxed, hard-workers resent this type of policy. Trump, believed the best way to get wealth to people was to get all the jobs that had gone overseas to China and south to Mexico, back in America. This enabled millions more Americans to rise above poverty and become contributing members to the tax base. Take the name Trump out of the picture, and most would agree that, on its face, this second policy is much better in every way.
Thank you for saying this! We call it “Trump derangement syndrome”. I happen to be a Bernie Sanders fan and I am certainly not a Trump supporter. But if you live here in the United States in a liberal state and say any slight thing that is positive towards Donald Trump, people jump all over your case and call you all kinds of names. We’ve stopped any real discourse and conversation in this country. It’s horrific!
@@missyhudson7872 You should educate yourself on the subject. There is a huge difference between socialist policies (taxation and social services) and switching to a socialist economy (government controls production). Now before you claim that you are against either form of socialism remember you support plenty of socialist policies such as using taxes to pay for unemployment, schools, emergency sevices and your military.
Lara you are awesome to be able to admit that you can consider Trump and the things he has done well. Please be careful supporting Sanders. He is a socialist which really means communist at the end of the day and he is actually the TDS types guy. The Democrat party has become a socialist/communist party. Bernie is as well but while the Dems pretend to be there old selves and make him out to be the bad guy they themselves are actually plotting turmoil in our country in the name of socialism/communism.

I’d like to hear your solid explanation about how his policies are detrimental to Americans. Unemployment has been at its lowest its ever been, so please explain how the hell his polices are “detrimental.”
Whats a better argument would be how bidens policy decisions would be better. Its easy to point to anything and pick out the bad, but we get two choices here so youve got to prove to me why one sides policy decisions will be better than the other. Not just calling someone a racist and a bigot and avoiding any actual policy.
His approach to the virus has been...anti-pragmatic, I would say. Which probably has a lot to do with where we are at. I think his deficit spending is a long-term harm. And his quantitative easing anti-free markets. The oil industry kind of fucked itself. But he had a hand in that, as did Putin. He's generally divisive, but then again so is the extreme left. So he's no better than the extreme left in that regard. He's more political than pragmatic generally, so there are a lot of decisions he's made that are unprincipled and harmful, but his supporters tend to play the blame game...say it was somebody else's fault or somebody else is worse, or no guarantee things would be worse if he didn't do what he did. His China policy is extremely costly, and also, at least short term, devastating to many of our markets. But he just feeds the farmers money. Talk about big government handouts. Sheesh. Again...anti-free market. His Nafta re-write, while it helped auto workers, seems to be helping those in Mexico mostly, keeping factories there and improving their wages not so much ours. Which is I suppose just moving chips around. I also, on the level of principles and morality, find him extremely lacking. I should say...just about totally. I think that's a big cost for conservative causes going forward. Generally speaking, I peg him as a short-term planner, unprincipled opportunist. It's hard to argue about the economy, but let's not be hypocrites. It was doing well before he borrowed money for his tax cuts. I don't agree that that was a good move. I think he's just buying votes. Corporate tax rates pay for things, and eliminating them mostly went to stock buybacks, only to have those same corporations put out their hand over the last 6 months and get paid with borrowed money! through this quantitative easing, anti-free market scam.
Doesn't Trump claim to be a fiscal conservative while adding trillions to the national debt? And while I'd say it's great he hasn't added any new wars, he's still authorizing drone strikes that statistically kill 9 civilians for every terrorist. Before the Stans come out, no, I don't think Biden would be any better on either point, but let's not pretend Trump is some perfect president with impeccable policy positions.
Brand seems like a reasonably smart person except for the fact he still thinks socialism can work. Apparently 100 years of failure is not enough for him.
I think he pretends to for votes but at the end of the day he’s another neoliberal establishment democrat only distinguishable from a republican from what he says in speeches imo
@LegoGuy87 God is the only one can create a true utopia man however cannot freedom is the only way to allow people to live happy lives on earth. ie. free market
I think Mr Brand is spot on with his analysis on Trump’s political gamesmanship, but I think he misses the policy part. There are some very good policies and I think the news mainly omits it so that might be the reason Russel seems off on that.
He mentions protectionism and favouring trans-global corporations in the same sentence. Isn't protectionism there in order to favour the working class? Not the corporations.
So in your world that just came out of nowhere? Obama was handed shit and everything was turned around under him with an unprecedented level of obstruction. Trump is probably going to get yet another $1trillion stimulus and the economy will still be in the toilet. SMH.
@@curtisjackson3010 the only reason the economy is in the toilet is everything is shut down and continues to be shut down. As soon as this virus is over the economy will take off and it will be a big one. We are just waiting for this virus to disappear like all the others.

Love ya, Russell!! Actually, across the pond here, a lot of us lifetime lefties are WALKING AWAY from the dems because of the destruction & censorship of "woke" culture. I invite you to reconsider your statements about Trump's policies as well. As my fellow cancel culture, pc Americans bemoan racism, under Trump, black unemployment is at an all time low, we've seen positive reform in the criminal justice system here & black communities are supporting him in unprecedented numbers. He's actually quite centrist. I like him, but I was told to hate him by zealous, marxist, "woke", obnoxious & spoiled white leftists. As a former Democrat & a proud American, I fear the integrity of our Constitution is in peril. I'm voting for Trump.
Hot take: it’s not right vs. left or Republican vs. Democrats. It’s establishment vs. antiestablishment. Trump turned the GOP on its head, smacked its ass, put them in their place, and turned his attention on the country. The Democrats did him the favor of imploding on their own. I don’t know if you noticed it, but the Democratic party is firmly held by the establishment; the swamp. Bernie got sidelined despite bringing more energy (I wouldn’t have voted for him), than Hillary. Now this time around, Harris was the Democratic candidate until Ms. Gabbard sank her on Day 1. But wait!!! Establishment swoops in with a doped up puppet with JUST enough brain cells to tap Harris for VP. The establishment really just wanted Harris. They really wanted a woman that would play ball. Ms. Gabbard has too much honor to play ball, but Harris doesn’t. Why? For the same reason they wanted a no name little experienced black candidate. Anybody that disagrees with Obama over ideological differences is a “racist.” Anybody that disagrees with Harris over ideological differences is a “sexist.” The establishment doesn’t care who is in office. The laws they want will get passed regardless of who is in office. But if they can paint the opposition as prejudiced assholes...well, the more distracted the country will be. A society to outraged to pay attention is a society that won’t notice their rights and freedoms getting whittled away. The more it fights with itself over which overlord is in power, the more power the elite will grab. So, pay attention to who the establishment nominees are, not whether they have a D or R in front of their name.
Lawrence Jones this is why a conservative will never join the left. Your side is literally the MOST divisive group in America!

Jackson: And I say your three cent titanium tax doesn't go too far enough!"
I will name it for you. He put more illegal sanctions on Iran, including ones during a global pandemic meant to prevent life saving medical supplies from entering the country in order to kill their citizens, and murdered one of their generals in an act of open war. And he didn't create any peace in the middle east, he sold military technology to a government committing genocide to 28 million people in Yemen and to another government that murders its own people for speaking up about their crimes. These governments had already agreed to some attempts to normalize relations with Israel before Trump's announcement. He had nothing to do with it. And these governments had not been hostile in any way with Israel to begin with. People should shut their mouths and get an education.
@@christopherbradley7149 tensions bubbled up ww3 was in motion before trump. Trump then played a game of chicken and won. Successfully stopping a war.

I wish I were smart enough to hold a conversation with Russell Brand... there's so much he knows, feels, thinks, sees, believes that would be mesmerizing to watch flow from him....
The pictures of kids in cages was from 2014. Does anyone remember who was President in 2014???
Yes, finally people who know thetruth....

So how many kids were in cages under obama vs trump? Who really cares when a picture was taken? How about the actual facts that matter to the argument.

Whatever topic they decide to focus on is what we the people are forced to confront in our interactions with each other. If they decided tomorrow to talk about how wearing high heels is a sign of male oppression and anyone seen in them is basically a slave to the patriarchy we would all be having this conversation. People would be apologizing and scrubbing their videos if they appeared in high heels. Then shoe companies would apologies for ever making high heel shoes as they are now woke and will discontinue production. It's all so sickening how easy it is to get the ball rolling with our media.

By which you mean, you don’t believe the Center exists, which makes you VERY dangerous.
@@eldermillennial8330 Really? How so? Enlighten me.
@@LivingLegendMe I believe she meant that Brand's commentary here is SOCIALLY neutral. He's obviously a lefty, and he indicates it many times throughout the video. But his political criticisms are merely asides, as he's concentrating on Donald's character, personality, charisma and ability to genuinely connect to people who are willing to listen to him.
Brand seems socially neutral here because he's doing something we are unaccustomed to seeing.... as a leftist (or maybe a centrist, as the rules are a bit different from the perspective of a Brit who is more likely to thumb their nose at nationalism for a country which was once a colony to their empire, but I digress) he is actually giving credit where he feels it's due. And he's not even going out of his way to do it... he very plainly frames his objective perspective of Trump's social traits separately from his political policies.... we NEVER see that. Most liberal commentators weren't willing to be that objective or kind to Reagan back during his era in the white house, and it's obvious to all of us that political media had become so much more rabid since then.
So yeah.... Brand is being REFRESHINGLY fair while discussing a president and candidate whom he highly disagrees with.
And I appreciate that.
I don't mind that Russell Brand is wrong on the kids in cages thing or that his politics are different. The fact that he is willing to give Trump credit & have a discussion without acting like a seething, rabid lunatic..is a breath of fresh air. Also, if he is watching Trump rally videos, that means he is attempting to try to understand Trump himself instead of letting the fake news spoon feed him their opinions.
I totally agree with you it was nice for once in a long time to watch someone else’s political views and ideas without being called a racist and being shame because I’m a Trump supporter it was definitely a breath of fresh air as you say :)
I wouldn't go so far as to say he's giving Trump credit for anything beneficial to Americans. Instead, he's pointing out the apparent lack of realization on the left that they're lost in a fog of their own making such that they cannot properly analyze their political surroundings. Brand is calling to his side to use some common sense, long abandoned by his side of the political spectrum.

This is why I love Russell Brand, disagree with him on all policy but he’s not a maniac like so many people. He’s willing to have a conversation about policy and ideas, not attack people.
And this is what will eventually bring him over to our side - it takes time, but when you start to look at the issues honestly and are willing to talk with the other side, you start to have your mind changed. Just look at Tim Pool - it's a slow process, but every day he gets closer and closer to outright supporting Trump. He's even now saying that were the election held today he'd probably for for him.

@Jessica H I'm a POC and I've met racist people on both sides, but never more than on the left. They have lost their minds, trying to fight supposed systemic racism with systemic racism. People are racist, not the system. If it was I wouldn't have half the things I have. In fact no one believed in me when I was growing up because I was a disadvantaged youth who came from a poor working class family, who lost her mum, had an abusive father, was sexually abused by dirty old predatory men and as a result school was nothing more than a fun escape with friends for me, learning was the last thing on my mind. Life sucked for a long time because I was stuck in this victim mindset. And even though the things I experienced were terrible, dwelling on the trauma made me hateful which clouded my mind and my judgement. But when I let go of the victim mentality my life literally changed, I went back to school, got my degree and now I'm a home owner, the first in my family and also the first with a degree... I encountered racist white people when I was studying. I encountered more non racist white people than racist, but the racists didn't hinder my ability to achieve all that I have... because its the people who are racist, not the system.

TPP was horrendous, I keep thinking Russell will wake up, does he know who built the cages? Biden is late stage dementia, and not an insult, he is genuinely in a poor state, incapable of being in public. Most people in North africa have no time for Obama.
Which part of the world has Trump tore up?
Yes you are correct Trump did indeed get rid of TPP. However, later when mostly no one was paying attention he renegotiated some of the most detrimental parts of it into the new NAFTA agreement. All in all it just goes to show you that it's all a spectator sport. Donald Trump, Joe Biden, nor any politicians in the US truly give two shits about any of us at this point. No matter what side of the political aisle we sit on. We shouldn't expect perfection from our politicians, but we should certainly expect them to fight for us more than just tossing out bread crumbs pretending like they address any of the problems we have. It's beginning to feel and seem more like that we don't have two parties in the US. We have politicians who put a letter at the end of their names and pretend to be different. While when the cameras are turned off are chumming it up with each other and laughing at us for buying the act.
Russell is actually starting to twig something about what Trump's about. Better late than never, I suppose, but some of us have known this for years. Unfortunately, Russell spoils his psychological analysis by trying to address economic issues, an area where he has little credibilty.
Trump got rid of the Trans Pacific Partnership in his first week. Obama brought in those cages. Just a couple of facts Russell chooses to not only ignore, but twists around to attack Trump. Lousy history from Russell. As for policies, which he says he's interested in, he actually largely ignores Trump's policies and achievements.
"Kids in cages" should take into account its origins. Otherwise, one's being disingenuous.

I'm tired of celebrities out pushing their leftist agenda all the time while they live "superior" lifestyles that make them out of touch with the general public.
I agree with you my friend this was the first time I was able to listen to someone else’s Political views without feeling like a racist Trump supporter it’s been a long time if the left could have more conversations like this where we can actually sit down and have a talk and get to the issues today this world would be a better place instead of name-calling And race baiting
Not only are celebrities "typically" out of touch but so are most rich Americans. They are always thinking someone richer than them needs to be the ones fixing all the problems in the world such as helping the poor via ideas like welfare for all through socialism. Even two teachers living together in the US are still top in 1%er world wealth no matter how poor they feel as they drink their five buck coffees. Most actual millionaires are first generation and worked hard for their money and they DO help people with it and if you look at US businesses they are taxed the highest in the world, that actually needs to change to bring jobs home. Wait till all the people crying poor (due to their chosen debt caused by Target trips) find out they are the "rich" that get taxed. I don't feel poor and we make way less than the average pay of two teachers but as a Christian I feel it's part of my job to help those in need "directly" and make a real impact verse handing that fully over to seven middle man where only a dime of every dollar(hey like March of dimes) even reaches who it's intended for. People like to act like people are standing in their way from getting things done, no one is standing in any ones way and things can get done. Trump proved that. I didn't vote for him the last time and couldn't stand him until only recently but I will vote for Trump and Republicans this time as they are more proven when you dig. The media fully lies about him and others and covers up what men like Trump actually do. Kids in cages? More like 75,000 "unaccompanied" minors given the "RIGHT" (praise God!) to trial after they were wrongly muled to the US. Trump didn't ask them to come but literally watched as Democrats and celebrities literally lied to these people and the whole of the US to use them as political pawns, sick! As often as you can still talk to people and IRL. By the grace of God I have literally helped homeless people break the cycle during this time because what they needed isn't a defunding of the police in favor of another OUT OF TOUCH social worker telling them they are oppressed because of their skin or who the president is. What people need is business savvy Republicans and Christian friends who will respect them as part of the same spiritual family and human race telling how to get away from the system of oppressive dependency Democrats have set up, and history doesn't lie, and hurt them for years. Look up the cities that have followed Democrat policy for decades, high funding, high crime rates, high poverty, high ill-literacy rates OF EVEN HIGH SCHOOL "GRADUATES," and if you missed it before HIGH FUNDING and a whole lot of mispending and weird ideas on equality being lower standards. This is America, I went from losing my job to owning a successful business no one judged me by my race or gender no matter how many times those wanting to "help" me said that I would be. I woke up. People need to wake up. Type your household income into a world wealth calculator and stop believing the news when it acts like Americans with our big houses, eating out, hospitals that are nicer than some 5 star hotels and our entertained to death lifestyle are soooo poor. No the US has wel-fare for the poor and yes it is still a hard life where being poor can become a full time job but no matter how hard the middle class wants to think they are poor, they are not, they will be who gets taxed if they want a socialist country and that means they will have less and not more. Math. I have taken homeless people to appointments it's no joke that once the bread or med is "free" you wait in a long line for it. People need to stop acting like "someone else" should do something to fix issues. Fix issues and stop waiting to vote for someone who will magically make all the problems disappear. Joe was in office for nearly 48 years and he only cared about "talking" about issues. Trump, no matter how much I hate how he sounds, did SOMETHING and is getting better at the job every day. Just look at the business deal stuff he is accomplishing with TIKTOK. Trump is a business man, a show man, and a man that cares about the country and NOT the media now paints.

Exactly, mine and my husband’s paychecks are bigger because less taxes are taken out.
Kim Anderson plus the opening of the trade doors metaphorically speaking to canadian pharmaceuticals has lowered prices across the board for those with mental illnesses. Trumps changes have been positive enough for the people that there are tangible and noticeable improvements to quality of life, whereas in other presidencies that, especially economic, deviation has been much more minute.
In 2015, my wife and I were always trying to figure out what we could do without or put off to cover our expenses.

- ignoring gun violence and even reducing background checks

Russell will not acknowledge that. he is a prat.
Yep
Have you injected yourself with disenfectants?
Matthijs Michielsen the problem is, Trump never said to do that. He said is there a way to do the same thing inside your body? It may seem absurd to think along those lines but chemo is injecting toxic chemicals into your body to kill a disease. Did he say, “go buy a bottle of chlorox and inject it”? No...
Now, the photos being from Obama’s era? That’s proven. It’s funny because I ask liberals and I ask them, “what should you do if someone commits a crime and their kid is with them?” I never, ever get an answer.
YES! And the Democrats who want open borders made speeches in favor of SECURE borders before Trump- You can even google them- Obama, Reid, Schumer, even Biden- Wanted SECURE borders and TIGHTER immigration laws! They are hypocritical traitors now just because Clinton lost.
The thing with kids in cages kills me because their parents broke the law and just like an American that breaks the law with kids involved the kids are separated from the parents and held till things are figured out

The “kids in cages,” thing was an Obama era policy.
It goes back to Bill Clinton--the separation policy. The 'cage' pics were due to the serious overflow that resulted starting in 2012 and increasing 2014 due to...damn, I'm blanking on it. Some change in policy led to huge amounts of people attempting the crossing ca. 2014.
Yeah, that's why I don't take this man that serious when it comes to politics. I mainly subbed to him 'cuz of his spiritual views. Still can't believed that a brilliant mind such as his, had pretty low grasp of politics and easily falling for fake news.
Dennis Leavitt The detention centers was an Obama air policy that he later recanted after he took criticism from Democrats because he say it was morally wrong. But if you think back Obama’s main policy was “catch and release” what he also caught a lot of criticism for.
The kids in cages exploded under Trump. Obama had the holding cells for a few days usually within 48 hours they were given to their parents once vetting was done. Trump has kept in cages for years and some of these kids have DIED in those cages. So your statement is disingenuous because Trump took something and made it a thousand times worse.
@@jalicea1650 Evidence? Evidence to show that it's policy and not a reflection of the increase in people seeking illegal entry? Or evidence to show it's not commensurate with what you'd get if you actually enforced the law as written...?
Perhaps compare current facilities for holding children to the pictures; interesting that the media did put out a bunch from 2012 to 2014, and not current ones.
Also, what's the alternative? A huge number of women and girls get raped by coyotes and cartelistas; children are trafficked as walking passports, drug meals, and of course for sexual reasons. Perhaps as many as a third. Is it better to leave those children as is?
A thousand times worse is strong language.
This is so true. The level of discourse really needs to be raised because people are acting like petty school children on a recess playground.

I seem to recall The Barry'n'Biden Show's perfect handling of the Swine Flu (H1N1) in 2009: From the 5/4/2020 Politico: "The snafu was the first of many scrambles and setbacks by the Obama administration in its initial response to the swine flu. POLITICO interviewed almost two dozen people, including administration officials, members of Congress and outsiders who contended with the administration’s response, and they described a litany of sadly familiar obstacles: vaccine shortfalls, fights over funding and sometimes contradictory messaging.
“It is purely a fortuity that this isn’t one of the great mass casualty events in American history,” Ron Klain, who was Biden’s chief of staff at the time, said of H1N1 in 2019. “It had nothing to do with us doing anything right [if THAT were even possible with The Barry'n'Biden Show!].
"It just had to do with luck. If anyone thinks that this can’t happen again, they don’t have to go back to 1918, they just have to go back to 2009, 2010 and imagine a virus with a different lethality, and you can just do the math on that.”

Great to see people supporting president Trump in these comments
Trump isnt playing the game ... Thats the problem. He is just straight up calling them out lol
You mean the game of human decency? Sure, he's calling out human decency by taking a big, fat, stinking dump on it.
@@falcon048 what about the media and democrats is decent? Please enlighten me....
@@Bibleease First of all, this has nothing to do with Democrats or Media. This is about Trump. Trump is one person. His actions are not decent. He is not a decent person. He is responsible for 210,000 deaths and climbing due to his negligence and lack of human compassion for anyone or anything. For once in his pathetic life, he is finally going to pay for his indifference.
The truth is, Mr. Brand has no idea what he is talking about because he has no clue how the "system" operates. The entire "Mainstream" Media is owned by 3 people. They tell their stations what stories to run and which to hide. This plays into the US Government's system which is an economic farm. The Two-Party system should be renamed to The Growers and the The Reapers. A Democrat is charged with growing the economy. The Republican is charged with reaping the economy for the benefit of the rich. A Democrat always wins when the economy is down/crashing or in recession. A Republican always wins when the economy is up and doing well. Do you honestly think "we the people" flip back and forth from Democrat to Republican on an 8 year average by choice? That some how people magically flip from being overly Liberal to overly Conservative on a cycle? Yeah, no. It's a system. The Democrats take seed money from the rich via taxation. The Republicans reap the economy by shifting the tax burden to the middle class and the poor. The tax credits are laundered through the stock market. Why do you think the only actual legislation, passed by Congress and signed by Trump in 4 years was the Tax law he touts. Why do you think Biden stated that the first thing he will do as president is reverse the Tax law?
Look, both Trump and Biden have given the game away. Trump more so than Biden. Trump keeps saying that the election is rigged. IT is. It is ALWAYS rigged. Biden gave it away at the debate when Trump asked him why he didn't do anything for 47 years and Biden let it out, "Because you weren't here screwing things up!" Biden was forced out of retirement to fix the economy.
This system has been in place since 1865 and it isn't even well hidden. If you lay out the state of the economy from 1865 to present day, then overlay that with who was elected president, you will find the pattern. Then when you start researching the key legislation that gets passed, it becomes very obvious. The economy is EVERYTHING and EVERYTHING is the economy. They care about nothing else. Not you, not me, not your family. UNLESS, our lives somehow impact the economy. Trump knows the game. The only reason he isn't being re-elected is because the economy crashed. His continued threats of cheating will be met with deaf ears. His cheats will be rigged to fail. The votes as cast will be successful in this election. The election is generally rigged when a Republican is required to reap and they do it the same way every time. Question the votes in certain states, and stop the recount when the Republican is ahead. Now, why don't they do this in every election? After all, Obama won TWICE without scandal, despite being the most hated Democrat in Republican history and despite Mitch McConnell saying that he would be a one-term president.
This is also why no 3rd party will ever win. They are used to shift the people where the system needs them to go. That is why you can have Bernie Sanders harshly criticizing Democrats during the nomination period and then suddenly sing their praises after the nominee is selected.
Legislation is drama and theater. Just like the Democrat/Liberal vs Republican/Conservative bull shit. It's all theater designed to keep you occupied and to steer you in the direction "they" want you to go in order to satisfy the economy. Racism is fine, because it doesn't impact the economy. Isolated violence is fine, it doesn't impact the economy. Sustained protests are NOT fine because it does impact the economy. The Pandemic is NOT fine because it killed the economy. Therefore, Trump will be replaced with Biden and Biden will perform his charged duty of switching the tax burden back to the rich. People will go out and spend ALL that money. Stocks will rise, etc. He also has to beat the pandemic to do it. He will do it in ways that will piss off Conservatives, but oh well. It is what it is, right?
Once you understand how the government really works, you start to stop giving a fuck about politics. You start to realize how you have been used for years. You see the whole Libs vs Cons thing as a total brainwashed mind job.
Live your life the way YOU want. Screw everything else. No one's team is going to win in the long run. It's a 16 year cycle with 8 years for your team and 8 years for the other team (on average. It depends on the economy.)
IN this election, I am ok with the Dems taking over. They will bring with them all the scientific experts, the Pandemic Response team, and a full White House administration staff. We will let the CDC do its job and we will re-establish our relationship with W.H.O. and we will finally be put on a path for getting over this virus with the least number of deaths than the "Herd immunity" path Turmp has us on.

Biden wins the election no matter what you or I say. It almost doesn't matter what the votes are. Democrats will win because the economy is down and it doesn't matter how it happened.

The "kids in cages " was Obama's days of service
Nice scapegoat, kids in cages have occurred under both presidencies. Both parties of capitalism are just as corrupt as one another and ultimately support the interests of capital as that is its design.
Actually not really, there was an ICE official that made a memo saying that the USA should use family separation under the Obama administration, but the administration rejected that idea. Then the Trump administration took that memo, did family separation and spun this narrative that it was some how Obama.
When we had that surge of immigrants in 2014, a good portion of them were unaccompanied children, which overwhelmed our boarders. Why did it overwhelm our boarders? Because rather than just let them into our country, we have a bunch of Republican nationalist that don't want immigrants at all, plus they are children and we would need to find them housing. Housing cost money, the house and the Senate control spending, this is part of the balance of power within our branches of government.
Trump separated kids from families with travel bans also FEMA camps for people being deported Wich were cages smh
Yes and Obama had 8yrs to reform police (a state issue Mr Brand), remove statues (another state issue) reform the racist jail penalty legislation brought by Senator Joe Biden in 1994 and passed during Bill Clinton's Presidency (he didn't stop it) Trump started prison sentence reform day one I won't list Trump's accomplishments because I am not a Trumpster but the problem with the media is that they do not cover his accomplishments.

If biden wins will all end up being subject to whatever the far left wants. Also, ANTIFA and BLM are loaded concepts. They don't mean what they claim to mean. They are domestic terrorists.

Exactly! Ditto. Both parties are severely dysfunctional. Both are infiltrated with sociopaths. Much more difficult truth will come out soon.
@@kenosabi I'm so glad someone else has noticed that Biden literally has no platform this election.
Like what is the guy running on?
TBH Hillary had the same problem, what was her platform?
They both ran campaigns that tell people reasons to not vote for Trump, but doesn't provide any reasons to vote for them.
Not sure how his policies are bad, before the pandemic we had the lowest unemployment.
You mean the PLANdemic?
If that's the standard you strive for then you have some low expectations. It's not about having the lowest unemployment. The way I see it is the lower the unemployment the more wage slaves there are in society that depends heavily on their job for their survival. Not the ideal way of thinking for such a society to move forward.
@@kvm1992 everyone depends on their income for survival, dude.
libtards base their actions on their emotions, the liberal news knows this that's why they manipulate them by making up fake stories , edit stories, make everything about race ..because they know people make the worst decisions when they base it on their emotions rather than their brain.
@Corbin Atlas right on!
Love him or hate him - No one has ever played the media at their own games on this level
If he's such a master of the media, how do you feel about his attempts to suggest he's treated "unfairly" by the media..?
How could be a master, and yet be treated so unfairly...?
@@sheltr9735 cause there have been a few big stories mainstream media was caught in flat out lies, he called them out and now they are fully discredited. Trump's great at luring you in
@@thehonestdoctor3590 Riiiiight. Like when he said that 99% of the time, Covid is "harmless" (utterly contrary to straightforward facts). Or when he supported states that resisted wearing face masks (and then was forced, by reality, to wear a face mask himself). Or when he said "utterly and completely exonerated" (to which Mueller, himself, made a press conference to say that Drumpf was factually incorrect).
"Lured in"...? No, only facile followers get lured in. The rest of see his incompetence.
The emperor has no clothes. We all see it. That's why Drumpf is losing so badly.
Make 2020, 2018 again!

@@sheltr9735 I don't care about drumpf, but you can't deny the mainstream media is complete garbage and propaganda, i will give Trump some credit in helping expose them cause now most people have been red pilled
@@thehonestdoctor3590 Okay, sure. It would be wrong to disagree.
However, when the guy spends his days tweeting silly shit, one out of a hundred is going to actually contain some truth.
But that's hardly sufficient output for a President to deliver. After all, sophisticated media consumers have always known about inherent bias. It applies to MSM, no doubt, but Faux News is also not to be believed. And individual media personalities (e.g. Alex Jones) are even less credible.
Drumpf needs to get off the golf course, stop twittering, and READ his Intel briefings. His deflections onto various "boogie men" doesn't camouflage his bumbling and incompetence. And that's why he's about to become the BEST impeached, single-term President, EVER.
I am amazed how far you have come Russell. Glad too. I learn so much from you. Not only about issues but your compassion. Thank you for all you do.
Keep digging Russell. Hint: those that scream the loudest have the most to hide
He has a 33 tattooed on his left wrist not to be valued.
Trump's such a quiet guy. He must be very clean and honest if we are to believe your rule actually works
The more I hear from Russell Brand the more I like him, especially when he roasts the press!
Yes he's always roasting the press in the pages of the press isn't he! I guess you don't do Irony?
I literally just gone writing a comment roughly about this. I remember being like a freshman in high school and thinking he was hilarious in the first movie I saw him in in America. Then I looked him up and cringed. Over the years I think the man is one of the few celebrities that you can see his rate of change. I think I would not agree with him on a lot to this day, but I think the man has learned so much and changed so much that I don’t feel like I’d be ‘cancelled’ for doing so
@@AGripOBabys So... You bought the B.S sold through eloquent speech with massive words designed to impress...
Least we forget who else won peaple over with the same and that one was also a leftwing reformer..
I voted for Obama twice. The first time was on purpose because he talked the talk and looked the part. The second time was out of apathy. I mean nothing really changed in my life during his first term and I didn't even care who the other candidates were (Mitt Romney & Paul Ryan).
Now Trump... I voted for him the first time out of morbid curiosity! I kinda wanted to see the 3-ring circus play out. After all, none of Obama's policies really affected me, why should Trump's? And besides that, did anyone REALLY think that Hillary was a good choice?
NOW, I am voting for Trump with strong conviction! Complete opposite of my Obama mentality. He made good on promises, he's holding fast under immense pressure, and he's calling out the hypocrisy and lies of the left-wing media. - Trump 2020 -

Same exact boat here. Will never forget the hype I felt thinking that Obama would make so much good happen - to ultimately be let down at the fullest.
How’s that wall coming along?
Russell, your viewpoints are a breath of fresh air. It's a nice change from the typical, juvenile rants we hear from liberals these days. You explain how you are not a fan of President Trump's policies while the rest of the left mocks his hand size, the way he drinks or walks, and his hair.
That last 2mins of you talking is why we love DT! Hes not a politician, he had a great life before he ran he didn't need to, he wanted to bc he loves America!

That's what i thought when I read the title of this vid
He is still pretty invested in the left wing propaganda. "redistribution" and all. I would much rather they break up the monopolies than redistribute.
@@ClintBaxley the irony with what the rioting Marxists want. They want to abolish capitalism; but should they actually succeed they'll just bring the technocracies and oligarchs who backed them into total power.
You didn't watch the video
@@ClintBaxley You want to redistribute market access. Expand your thinking.
Brilliant analysis done here. I voted for Mr. Trump, don't much like some of his style, demeanor, but he is a real person, and the other options have never been. I've never met him, but he talks like a man I could talk to easily, like him or not. Thanks for taking the time and effort to state the facts, it's refreshing.
Trump is not a politician, and is courageous enough to take on corrupt politicians. That is why we voted him in office, to work, not to make empty promises!
What has Trump specifically done to end corruption.
You are completely mistaken. There is no one more corrupt than tRump and he's destroying our democracy. Once gone, it is difficult, if not impossible, to get it back.
His cabinet is made up entirely of corrupt, career politicians. So "take on corrupt politicians", no. He just traded corrupt Democratic politicians, with corrupt Republican politicians. And that's fine if that all you want, but at least be honest about what it is. He didn't drain the swamp, he merely swapped one swamp for another.
Lawrence Jones you really believe the media lmao don’t be dumb
@Lawrence Jones You're a brainwashed bum! You're either naive or outright stupid! Poor chap!
Why fight him? He's good for our economy, he's authentic, honest, and gets things done.
These liberal morons would rather go back to the globalist policy of Clinton / bush / Obama
Honest you must be joking.
People that don't like Trump don't like themselves ive noticed, ...he hasn't lied to me ...not one fucking time
@@royderouin7510 I agree ...mostly angry, unhappy creatures...even before trumps presidency
@@royderouin7510 Most examples they can think of in reference to him lieing, are really misrepresentations by the media, or him bragging in a half joking fashion or something. I'm sure he's told some sort of lie directed to the public or his constituents but I can't even think of one directly. Compared to most politicians that lie about literally everything all the time, it is actually an improvement.
Not a huge fan of Russell, or the left. However he managed to make some decent points without loosing his shit or insulting anyone..Well done..
Good to hear that you're neutral about this .. not many do! but funny and ironic you've watched this. Good stuff.
Yes, but you can tell he's just worried about being canceled, so he has to keep throwing in he doesn't like trump. Sad that this is the world we live in.
@@mack8154 he’s gotta stay “current”
He was spot on in his analysis of the left’s dealing with Trump, and why people like him. He was wrong in his assessment of Trump’s policies. Literally no group is worse off after 4 years of trump than they were when he took over. Even the Middle East is talking about chilling out. I’d be interesting in knowing what those detrimental effects, Russell speaks of, are.
My thoughts exactly.
Redistributing wealth by heavy taxation and public welfare is one way. But, those who get on the government dole never make it above the poverty line, plus, they rarely become productive members of society or taxpaying members themselves. Heavily taxed, hard-workers resent this type of policy.
Trump, believed the best way to get wealth to people was to get all the jobs that had gone overseas to China and south to Mexico, back in America. This enabled millions more Americans to rise above poverty and become contributing members to the tax base. Take the name Trump out of the picture, and most would agree that, on its face, this second policy is much better in every way.
Thank you for saying this! We call it “Trump derangement syndrome”. I happen to be a Bernie Sanders fan and I am certainly not a Trump supporter. But if you live here in the United States in a liberal state and say any slight thing that is positive towards Donald Trump, people jump all over your case and call you all kinds of names. We’ve stopped any real discourse and conversation in this country. It’s horrific!
Then that makes you a socialist. This is a free nation . Socialism doesn’t belong in America.
@@missyhudson7872 You should educate yourself on the subject. There is a huge difference between socialist policies (taxation and social services) and switching to a socialist economy (government controls production). Now before you claim that you are against either form of socialism remember you support plenty of socialist policies such as using taxes to pay for unemployment, schools, emergency sevices and your military.
Lara you are awesome to be able to admit that you can consider Trump and the things he has done well. Please be careful supporting Sanders. He is a socialist which really means communist at the end of the day and he is actually the TDS types guy. The Democrat party has become a socialist/communist party. Bernie is as well but while the Dems pretend to be there old selves and make him out to be the bad guy they themselves are actually plotting turmoil in our country in the name of socialism/communism.
we need more people like you to speak out. But I know the price you’ll pay. There are several bloggers Anthony Brian Logan, ABL and the Officer Tatum on RUclips where mostly conservatives are happy to have a real conversation without rancor, with you. I hope you find a friendly group with them.
i don't think most of the dems running for president would last long as president with some difficulty in their old age.

@@griffinpeters38 Obama started it and media only blamed trump. Did you miss the part of the video when he said they should both be held by the same standed
They both are Soros slaves. As Clintons are
I’d like to hear your solid explanation about how his policies are detrimental to Americans. Unemployment has been at its lowest its ever been, so please explain how the hell his polices are “detrimental.”
Whats a better argument would be how bidens policy decisions would be better. Its easy to point to anything and pick out the bad, but we get two choices here so youve got to prove to me why one sides policy decisions will be better than the other. Not just calling someone a racist and a bigot and avoiding any actual policy.
His approach to the virus has been...anti-pragmatic, I would say. Which probably has a lot to do with where we are at.
I think his deficit spending is a long-term harm. And his quantitative easing anti-free markets.
The oil industry kind of fucked itself. But he had a hand in that, as did Putin.
He's generally divisive, but then again so is the extreme left. So he's no better than the extreme left in that regard.
He's more political than pragmatic generally, so there are a lot of decisions he's made that are unprincipled and harmful, but his supporters tend to play the blame game...say it was somebody else's fault or somebody else is worse, or no guarantee things would be worse if he didn't do what he did.
His China policy is extremely costly, and also, at least short term, devastating to many of our markets. But he just feeds the farmers money. Talk about big government handouts. Sheesh. Again...anti-free market.
His Nafta re-write, while it helped auto workers, seems to be helping those in Mexico mostly, keeping factories there and improving their wages not so much ours. Which is I suppose just moving chips around.
I also, on the level of principles and morality, find him extremely lacking. I should say...just about totally. I think that's a big cost for conservative causes going forward.
Generally speaking, I peg him as a short-term planner, unprincipled opportunist. It's hard to argue about the economy, but let's not be hypocrites. It was doing well before he borrowed money for his tax cuts. I don't agree that that was a good move. I think he's just buying votes. Corporate tax rates pay for things, and eliminating them mostly went to stock buybacks, only to have those same corporations put out their hand over the last 6 months and get paid with borrowed money! through this quantitative easing, anti-free market scam.
@@iridescentsquids Turn off CNN? The Clinton News Network.
Doesn't Trump claim to be a fiscal conservative while adding trillions to the national debt?
And while I'd say it's great he hasn't added any new wars, he's still authorizing drone strikes that statistically kill 9 civilians for every terrorist.
Before the Stans come out, no, I don't think Biden would be any better on either point, but let's not pretend Trump is some perfect president with impeccable policy positions.
If you really believe Trump is the reason for lower unemployment, you need to read more.
Two wings of the same bird, left right paradigm.
Brand seems like a reasonably smart person except for the fact he still thinks socialism can work. Apparently 100 years of failure is not enough for him.
Not that smart then, huh.
Socialism/communism is for the masses only. The very rich stay that way and get more powerful. Its neo-feudalism rebranded.
I think he pretends to for votes but at the end of the day he’s another neoliberal establishment democrat only distinguishable from a republican from what he says in speeches imo
@LegoGuy87 God is the only one can create a true utopia man however cannot freedom is the only way to allow people to live happy lives on earth. ie. free market
I think Mr Brand is spot on with his analysis on Trump’s political gamesmanship, but I think he misses the policy part. There are some very good policies and I think the news mainly omits it so that might be the reason Russel seems off on that.
more than likely the smack put him off
He mentions protectionism and favouring trans-global corporations in the same sentence. Isn't protectionism there in order to favour the working class? Not the corporations.
Record GDP, highest employment of blacks and hispanics.
His policies have benefited everybody. Brand has no clue because he has done no research.
So in your world that just came out of nowhere? Obama was handed shit and everything was turned around under him with an unprecedented level of obstruction. Trump is probably going to get yet another $1trillion stimulus and the economy will still be in the toilet. SMH.
@@curtisjackson3010 the only reason the economy is in the toilet is everything is shut down and continues to be shut down. As soon as this virus is over the economy will take off and it will be a big one. We are just waiting for this virus to disappear like all the others.
For someone that is paying attention, Russel completely misses the point of Trumps political policy success.
How so?
Quite the contrary Carlos Torres. A lot of what he has to say about Trump is spot on.
What do you mean by policy success? I'll grant you that the tax cuts were an impressive feat of political engineering. They are also disastrous to the country.
I agree Carlos x
Deregulation and a Record Economy, Border Wall / illegal immigration action and support of Border Patrol / ICE, Strong stance on China, Record federal judge appointments, Recognizing Jerusalem, First president to openly recognize Gay rights, real criminal justice reform, openly holding media accountable. Protecting Second and First amendment. Leaving horrible foreign policy deals, funding of HSBC. Exec. Orders to protect police, go after drug cartels, protect religious freedom, Key travel bans,
I just want to say, I respect that you seem to be relatively unbiased, I still have to take issue with your statement that Donald Trump refused to denounce racist tropes. I mean he denounced racist groups and racism itself many dozens of times over the years. What does he have to do?

@Scary Uncle Martain not yet 🤡
Hes amazing president. The dems are such crooks who didnt win this election.
@James Michaels no thats Bidens son.
Love ya, Russell!! Actually, across the pond here, a lot of us lifetime lefties are WALKING AWAY from the dems because of the destruction & censorship of "woke" culture. I invite you to reconsider your statements about Trump's policies as well. As my fellow cancel culture, pc Americans bemoan racism, under Trump, black unemployment is at an all time low, we've seen positive reform in the criminal justice system here & black communities are supporting him in unprecedented numbers. He's actually quite centrist. I like him, but I was told to hate him by zealous, marxist, "woke", obnoxious & spoiled white leftists. As a former Democrat & a proud American, I fear the integrity of our Constitution is in peril. I'm voting for Trump.
Hot take: it’s not right vs. left or Republican vs. Democrats.
It’s establishment vs. antiestablishment.
Trump turned the GOP on its head, smacked its ass, put them in their place, and turned his attention on the country. The Democrats did him the favor of imploding on their own. I don’t know if you noticed it, but the Democratic party is firmly held by the establishment; the swamp.
Bernie got sidelined despite bringing more energy (I wouldn’t have voted for him), than Hillary. Now this time around, Harris was the Democratic candidate until Ms. Gabbard sank her on Day 1. But wait!!! Establishment swoops in with a doped up puppet with JUST enough brain cells to tap Harris for VP. The establishment really just wanted Harris. They really wanted a woman that would play ball. Ms. Gabbard has too much honor to play ball, but Harris doesn’t.
Why? For the same reason they wanted a no name little experienced black candidate.
Anybody that disagrees with Obama over ideological differences is a “racist.”
Anybody that disagrees with Harris over ideological differences is a “sexist.”
The establishment doesn’t care who is in office. The laws they want will get passed regardless of who is in office. But if they can paint the opposition as prejudiced assholes...well, the more distracted the country will be.
A society to outraged to pay attention is a society that won’t notice their rights and freedoms getting whittled away. The more it fights with itself over which overlord is in power, the more power the elite will grab.
So, pay attention to who the establishment nominees are, not whether they have a D or R in front of their name.
President Trump is a catalyst that showed what the dems and the media really is. That has been his greatest weapon, I think.
Good for you! 👍
Yes, Democrats have pushed me to vote for Trump ... again. I had hope for better things to come. I cannot trust democrats.

I will name it for you. He put more illegal sanctions on Iran, including ones during a global pandemic meant to prevent life saving medical supplies from entering the country in order to kill their citizens, and murdered one of their generals in an act of open war.
And he didn't create any peace in the middle east, he sold military technology to a government committing genocide to 28 million people in Yemen and to another government that murders its own people for speaking up about their crimes. These governments had already agreed to some attempts to normalize relations with Israel before Trump's announcement. He had nothing to do with it. And these governments had not been hostile in any way with Israel to begin with.
