8 mins? ....is that all?
Candace is number one. She understands real freedoms and real law
@@kymike155 it’s the one from 2/3 years ago, I only watched it last month
Money buys policy. Everything else is diluted. American capitalism is just communism for everyone but the mega rich.
WAY DOWN
BELOW THE OCEAN
I don’t agree with Russell but I massively respect him for his desire to respectfully debate with people with whom he doesn’t agree!
I think that's ultimately how progress in society is made. He's brave to do that.
I feel the same way.
He was not at all respectful in this debate ,
@@andrewteece3496 Russell is the last real leftist, essentially.
The rich pay 85% of our taxes only because they make more money. It doesn’t mean they pay a higher percentage than the poor!
“When I was poor and complained about inequality they said I was bitter; now that I'm rich and I complain about inequality they say I'm a hypocrite. I'm beginning to think they just don't want to talk about inequality.” Russell Brand
Obviously there is no inequality if a poor man can become rich 🤷♀️
@@jocelyncams1826 yeah, because all poor people don’t work hard enough…
@@donaldvanvliet9039 uhm I’m poor as fuck. But this country gives many opportunities. Don’t act like it doesn’t.
@@donaldvanvliet9039 maybe I should just delete the last sentence since that’s all you took from it
@@jocelyncams1826 yeah that last sentence was dumb as hell. This country used to have a substantial middle class, but that has been dissappearing over the last 20 years. That there are still people who have the american dream, doesn’t change the bigger picture.
Wow this is gold. Totally love the open, honest and riveting conversation. Zero malice. We need more debates like this.
She is making up numbers
@@rodneypennington1086 like a lonely homosexual like you has a clue.
@@rodneypennington1086 You're making up reality.
I think Russel is ahead of his time and there's people to yet understand his views because of this.
100% agree
I love Candace so much , big fan, I like her more than I like Russell but here i have to say that she is talking about what we are currently as humans , and she is right , whereas Russell is talking about WHAT WE CAN BE as humans , the potential in us to be not just like animals self centered and focused on survival and ego but much more altruistic Chr8st like Buddha like state , I don't think Candace has the spiritual depth to see where he is coming from
I love how fast paced and combative this was, while still remaining friendly and even jovial at times.
The entire podcast is fantastic. They have an incredible chemistry.
My thoughts exactly!
They both have supercharged processors. Few people process AND organize information as quickly as Russell and even fewer are capable of articulating their positions with such certainty and clarity. Even when Russell is unsettled on his position about an idea, he is sure of and comfortable with his uncertainty - rare intellectual courage.
we used to have debates like this during Ronald Reagan's time when Repubs and Dems were still able to be mature and can take wholesome criticisms and friendly banter with each other.
Eventually it became more of a 'game' that adults play , a stupid passive aggressive game in polarized politics.
Yes it's so refreshing
I love how these two speak to each other like close friends who've had a couple beers and are just randomly chatting at like 0300
Because they both know that the other is welcome to their own opinions. Most people who debate these days, they don't think that way. It's their way, or no way.
🙂
Candace's point on the "natural market" was spot on. That basic supply vs demand drive is a cornerstone of human interactions, it's impossible to divorce this from the human condition whether you're bartering chickens for flour or paying cash for a new jacket. Where this comes into play with individualism is the belief that most individuals can develop some level of skill which is valuable enough to the marketplace for that individual to become successful. When enough individuals do this, they create more successful societies.
Freaking fantastic civilized debate. We need more of this!
so two brainless people having a civilised discussion meets your standard of being "freaking fantastic" and "we need more of this"
They respectfully agreed to disagree, without escalating things turning them into hate. We need to see more of this and less of the heated/one sided arguments that MSM shove down our throats.
Facts
Exactly!
Funny how you “forgot” to mention fox….
@@chexmix0101 Fox is no shining example, but I've definitely seen more of the "I'm going to raise my voice and drown you out until you stop talking" from the other examples mentioned. It is a problem all mainstream media shares, but it is more prevalent on the stations that wish to further censor people.
@@brobroski3441 Absolutely! Right on! Exactamundo!
This is literally one of the greatest debates I’ve seen simply because of how civilized it was. I didn’t leave this debate feeling angry at anybody which is amazing.
don't get mad. watch more debates
I felt the same way.
Tuning out. Narcissism abounds from RB
Really…watch Jordan Peterson debates.
@@carypeterson9554 trust me I’ve watched plenty, I actually really love Jordan Peterson. but even for as amazing of a speaker as he is it can become super frustrating to watch simply because the people he’s debating are totally unable to understand or even try to listen to his points many of the times. It’s almost like he’s talking to a wall.
The thing is, being rich and being happy are two different things.
People should be aiming for happiness.
Happiness doesn’t need wealth and wealth doesn’t bring happiness.
The best moments in life are your priceless achievements, you can’t buy them and the memory doesn’t fade.
This was absolutely wonderful debate and this is how we can come together with respect and still disagree.
being respectful when disagreeing, is what Free thinking is about.
EXACTLY
Yes, disagreeing without being disagreeable 🤝
Agreed.
Truly this is such a good argument I agree with both of them yet disagree. I think they are both free minded but are to self centered to actually become truly free thinking in their day to day life’s, but that’s what I see ;).
Unfortunately respect aint the truth ..and what russel says is the truth
"I hope we remain respectful"
*2 mins later:
"ARE YOU MENTAL!"
One of the most adversarial interviews I've seen Russell in since the Paxo one.
Yeah I almost clicked off after that
That part was funny. I get your point. It feels more like a British euphemism, than an insult.
@@sdalt001 I mean, I'm British and it's disrespectful even if not necessarily a direct insult.
@@sdalt001 Yeah, it is a pretty common thing to say here in Britain; it’s not meant to be taken quite as literally as it might be stateside
hahahaha its true!! "are you mental??""
Candace just handed RB a masterclass in debating intelligently and respectfully.
Yes, I thought she handled it very comfortably. He seemed to unintentionally set her up to make consecutively strong arguments.
Isn't that funny; I saw just the opposite. I guess we all see what we want to see.
@@keithhinchcliffe5629 how? He is emotional
@@Marc-io8qm - You call it emotional, I call it passionate.
I don't think we watched the same video.
Engaging stuff as always from Russell.
So far, I've not heard Russell explain how a societal structure can be organised that would "encourage" people to be more compassionate.
Also, systems of encouragement could easily become coercive powers, and you cannot coerce someone to be compassionate, it must be a voluntary impulse,
Exactly. We cannot. I would argue that Candace’s solution is the one that comes closest to this: when the government stays out of our hair and our money, we are more likely to give.
Candace answered him correctly that such structure is not in the government. That structure that "encourages" compassion is not in the realm of politics or economics but in the church.
@@indepthdiscussion7670
and if you are not a christian, then where does one go?
@@southerngirl300there are motivational speakers, life coaching seminars - people like Tony Robbins. (Church is still the easiest though because its available and free every Sunday.) But wherever you get your motivation though, it has to be freely sought and not imposed, otherwise it's no longer compassion but coercion.
People would have to at their core choose to do right under a few hard core ethical laws. Off the top of my head one would be don’t push your will onto another.
I gained a new respect for Russell recently. He’s a free thinker and doesn’t follow the Hollywood rules.
He also was wrong about his facts
@@Waltonslots yeah, he’s still chained to hollyweird.
I'm a free thinker
I always loved his comedy and then I started binging his videos of the recent months. What an absolut chad. He really does challenge anyone, doesn't kowtow to any existing order and speaks from the people's heart. He even likes Donald Trump for the right reasons and hates him for the right reasons, too. He's so crazy, that in these crazy times he's the only normal person left to speak truth to the people.
The Goerge Soros (funds against Sanatan Dharma) and Jeff Bezos both haven't paid tax 2years..
Russel: "We are going to try to have a civil conversation." Later: "Are you mental?" LOL!
Lmao 🤣
That’s when I stopped listening. It’s same gibberish collectivist spew. Nothing enlightening at all.
Russell show he can't have a civil conversation! Your type of junkie smoking weed!
@Honest Addict Post ban 2 I used the same phrase in dialogue with a Mr Brand supporter. He turned me on for bullying i recieved a 30 ban for it. I can't help wondering why it's okay for Mr Brand to say are you mental, but the platform I was listening to it on Facebook banned me. Is it because I'm just a common nobody?
@Gary Snow that is completely idiotic. Probably the dumbest comment I've seen in awhile. Good job
Kudos to anyone who dares to debate Candace. She's an absolute beast! Loved this!
You do realize Candice is con? She changed her whole perspective some years back to gain fame. Go back over 10 years, and she's saying the complete opposite of what she's saying now. She even sued for racial discrimination got paid, and now claims racism doesn't exist all for likes!
She's a racist that's learned how to enrich herself by weaponizing misinformation. Nothing more.
There are not many people who can match the absolute stream of conscious thought of a Russell Brand. Except Candace Owen. What a treasure this young woman is !!
She's only a treasure to racists that only push half of the story.
@richardlang2445 Ah, I think it's the opposite & if you notice she took pretty much everything he said and as usual speaking rapidly (yeah he does also) using trigger words, "steal" & not sure if Russell finished his idea that they have a different definition of socialism. Oh yeah her using the word punish, punish people to yeah, have everyone pay a FAIR share percentage of their income in taxes. Not the same percentage, because that doesn't even make sense. Using her own example of feeding one's family first, for sure, though a family of 4 = to a family of 7 should not give out the same amount of food. Seems fair, makes common sense financially if not gasp, morally which yeah you don't have to have either one though wouldn't it be great at least to look at the gap and close it so it is FAIR TO ALL. low, middle, & rich folks.
I hugely respect people who can argue different philosophy passionately without personally attacting each other. I'm am liking Russel more and more. I may not agree with everything he says but his open mindedness to engage with people of different world views is so bloody refreshing. Good on you mate.
Yup.
4th most prolific political thinker in the WORLD. I love the guy and I am conservative.
@@kevin2640 same here, I truly admire that.
Excellent yes, I don't agree with him every step of the way but that's ok. We're human beings and that's a human trait, even family don't agree with eachother always.
@@kevin2640 i highly doubt your assessment.
Fourth most prolific political thinker by which metrics?
Who deemed him that?
I like watching debates like this where both people actually like each other regardless if they strongly disagree. Totally different vibe than two people with disdain bludgeoning each other back and forth!
Indeed, like those we pay to act like children on the worlds largest playground. People seem to forget that we can agree to disagree and still make progress.
@@cornfusedatbest6693 a lot of his guests act like children when they aren’t speaking to him, it’s incredibly frustrating actually
@@charliedawn27 I would enjoy seeing mature children debating adults acting like immature children. 😂
They like each other because they’re in business together. There’s no substance to this debate, and there’s not meant to be. This exists so UA-cam “centrists” and right-wingers can pretend their politics are valid, meanwhile they both build their audiences and rake in the money.
@@JoeGamer81 didn’t Russel say this was an excerpt to a longer conversation? And yes I don’t consider it a proper debate, more of a conversation with elements of debating.
More of you two debating! I am more on Candice’s side of this but I like hearing reasonable debate! Maybe if there was more of this people wouldn’t be so far apart!
Candance has class and brains .
She’s pretty basic. Her arguments are shallow and scripted
Even while passionately disagreeing, Russel and Candace aren't attacking each other. There's a foundation of well-meaning, and a dash of playfulness in the heat of the debate, it's very encouraging.
Which translates as “passive aggressive”
@@twobobruss There is no such thing as passive-aggressive in a debate. Because there is no aggression to be seen here. You strongly disagree with someone, you're hashing it out with words. It's not an argument, it's not personal. That's the biggest thing young people are not taught these days or understand. We can disagree for hours, speak loudly, talk over each other ect. But if it doesn't break down into a real confrontation, in the end, you show respect, smile, and shake hands then go grab a drink together.
@@mikethewise2000 K
Candace just waits to attack people on Twitter
@@kellifranklin4432 At least she doesn't shriek and low key try to intimidate the smaller bodied people in the room like Russell does.
This is what I envy. People who can debate, I can’t argue my points without stuttering or drawing a blank. But they are ready and fired up. I love it!
YESSSSS like there’s so much I know and want to say and learn about but formulating my words as elegantly as they do and not rambling or “drawing a blank” is so hard for me!
Yes.
Passion.
You can do it too! It just takes time to work on soothing our nervous system so it doesn’t get overwhelmed in the face of conflict or argument. It takes healing our traumatized systems (within our own body), then we can face different opinions and have healthy arguments safely. It’s hard! I still struggle and am working on it!
You can do it! Once you know your argument style & your side of an argument inside and out!
I love her I think she is what we need leading this country
I love seeing a well thought out debate from intelligent and passionate people. What a breath of fresh air 🥹
Also I wonder if you guys have thought about Maslows Hierarchy of needs? Perhaps you did in the full interview. Anyway it suggests that in order for us to fulfil things like spiritual needs, first we must have our basic needs met - such as food, shelter, stability. So I think Candace is noticing that people whose basic needs and more are being met are then able to fulfil their desire to give to others - as this is a more complex need and sits further up the hierarchy.
Russels got an amazing way of nearly losing his shit but then cracks a joke and immediately cools the situation down before he does it again. Cracks me up
Hahaha, yeah he got a little aggressive on that one, that pen being thrown down represented the gauntlet...after which he giggled realising in his mind that candice would probably stove his head in! (Joking 😉)
Passion!
He was looking to get Candace riled up but she’s too good for him and can out express herself with a calm demeanour, much better than Russell. He just babbles bs.
@@mynameistwohawks I just read some babbled bs. Yours.
There are videos on Yt that analyze the way he does this.
Russell:
"Hopefully, we remain respectful and light and kind with one another".
Russell (to Candice):
"Are you mental?!"
Me:
😂🤣
Candice is absolutely maddening. 🤣 It didn’t surprise me that he lost it in that moment. But I did laugh. 😂
Lmao yeah he did go over the top here. I like both of them, but I think Russ lost his cool.
@@Pari_Pixie why is she maddening?
@@biggstang6732 she doesn’t even believe in climate change
@@Whitey73192 yes she does. The climate is always changing, what she doesn’t believe in is the politicized climate change. Like when Alexandria ocasio Cortez claimed the world is going to end in 12 years.
Candace is sharp. More importantly, she's right.
You spelled "dangerous " incorrectly. She also conveniently leaves out any part of the story that doesn't fit her narrative.
No she wrong.
I love listening to both of you honestly - much respects and thanks to you both for what you are doing to highlight the real issues!
Love listening to people that disagree respectfully.
THIS is an Adult conversation. They both Let each other speak ,and speak their points without interruption
I guess we watched diffrent videos
Are you kidding? Russel kept trying to bully her and even asked if she was mental. Candace schooled him anyway. She is on a different intellectual plane to Russel.
insert spiderman james gif *you serious?*
@@richardshultz6834 my thoughts exactly
Russell: “hopefully we can be respectful”
Also Russell: “Are you mental”
🤣🤣🤣
Hahah that's just his personality.
Well... she is... and an absolute grifter.
@@phiksit Seethe and Cope
@@phiksit I agree
🤣🤣🤣
Open and honest and respectful debate between people who disagree. Who knew it was possible.
Candace is a national treasure. And she kicked Russell's butt. She tells facts. He talks "feelings".
She's a racist that's pushing a narrative based on misinformation. It's also hilarious hearing her rail against privilege, while living in privilege afforded by her right wing puppeteers.
😂 candance is a sheep who hates herself 🤷♂️

Also Russell: “ARE YOU MENTAL”
❤️❤️love it
Hypocrisy
@@bobs9242 agreed.. Russell douchecanoe Brand has a 20 million networth, why wont he practice what he is preaching???? Oh wait I know why. Because the disenfranchised look up to him and see a humble Englishman that isnt a complete charlatan, they are viewing these podcasts thus increasing his networth further.
@@bobs9242 " I hope ... "
NOT respectful, but leftists rarely are.
@@jarrodhill9149 a rich "arse."
Desperately yearning for anyone in my life to be intellectual and open enough to have this level of conversation. 90% of people I know would shut down these arguments in a heartbeat out of sheer discomfort of complexity. Great discussion, very respectful and well done both Russell and Candace.
You need new friends
I’m really glad I found your channel. I really love your views and content
Russell = Spiritual point of view
Candice = Worldly point of view
Great debate guys, I’m with Russell on this one ✨
Really
“Don’t look at me with that’s a fact face” lmao. Great line. Both of you are great
Which is especially funny when what she is saying is not fact, which is Cadence in a nutshell. What makes it worse is she's aware of of the FACT that it isn't fact when saying it. Maybe if you include the top 10% of earners will you get close to 70ish percent of all federal taxes but this includes people in the $150,000 range which is not opulent wealth.
@@Ausare911 how is that not still rich people paying all the tax? 150,000 a year is well above the average salary. If her figures include these individuals, that’s still the rich paying the majority of the tax
@@eddieyoung6845 if youd sincerely like to learn more on the topic then search "Leaked IRS documents reveal the rich pay pay less taxes"
If you cant find it then I will find specific articles and post their titles.
@@Ausare911
$150,000 is not "opulent wealth"? So, you are saying she is not being factual while applying your own definition to the word "rich"? I see that 25% of the country pays about 85% of the taxes...and that 25% at the lowest income level starts at about $80k. Maybe that's not "rich" in your world but that's a LOT of money in mine.
@@MP-db9sw
Well if it's a recently leaked document then you can hardly blame Candace for using data that has been a lot more commonplace and consistent in terms of the argument she is making.
"Don't look at me with your fact face" had me crying! They enjoyed this debate, it was clear to see! And I enjoyed watching! Well done to both!
and the fact was wrong. the 1% pays ≈ 40% of all taxes. :)
@@gocy she said top 10% pay 85%. I don’t know what she’s going off of but I know in 2017 the top 10 paid 71.4% of all taxes
@@bobkiaie That is completely wrong...
You guys still don't understand that statistical data is made to fit your particular narrative? How stupid can you be?
@@benc2972 are you not aware that the more people make the more they pay in taxes? ?
I loved y’all’s vibe!!!! Beautiful!! I loved how u guys could debate in a serious and respectful but lighthearted way!!! (Did I see some chemistry there too…lol)!!!! 🖤🖤🔥🔥🤍🤍🕊️🪬☮️😉✌🏼
Great stuff- exactly how conversations/ debates should work. I do think Candace got you today RB. 😉
"Don't look at me with that fact face" haha I don't agree with Russell but I'm very happy he's willing to have these conversations.
same here
Lol she really got him with that. I’m glad he acknowledged it.
He changed the topic real fast with that one
Do you have a time stamp for that?
The ability to have an open dialogue is what I call progress
I love this kind of debate because it helps me see both sides and make a more informed decision
Well actually, it’s what we used to do all the time back in the day….debate, agree to disagree, shake hands and have a beer together.
It sure gives much more to listen to a convo with disagrements. Loved it! This is how we expand our minds. Not stay in a lazy, boring bubble that shrinks our brains down. Good thing u tough enough to challenge yourself n others. More of this! Cus.. its educating us all out of the narratives n helps us to ask new questions. All info needs to be chewed, alternative n left to right.
I enjoyed the conversation and feel it's all about learning and growing from one another. Agreeing and disagreeing is alright, as long as you continue to keep an open mind, not all this censorship that's happening, as we all well know about. Bless you for a beautiful conversation, & please keep those coming sir.
Russell Brand: “Hopefully we’ll be kind and civil.”
Also Russell Brand: “ARE YOU MENTAL?!”
Correct first one to throw an insult. Of course
@@pokapokadot9859 I mean, it's a British thing, are you mental is a very civilized and watered down version of saying are you crazy. If you want to keep it civil you say mental, if you want to insult you'd say crazy or insane, or at least that's my take on it.
This Fk head is rich, was he born rich?
@@dicklindell948 u are not rich and will never be lol

@@clopez6768 where is j lo?
He was an ass. He was angry and disrespectful
I enjoyed this debate. I like them both and watch both Russell and Candace regularly.
I sure liked this one. Love listening to every minute. Watched the long discussion.Candace has a one up on you Russ. Love your utopian views but most humans (especially these days) can't achieve it. Please have another discussion soon
I never would have guessed Russell Brand would grow up to be a well-rounded, informed man, working to spread awareness on government corruption and other important, controversial issues. Just pet the fuzzy wall, right?
Why not, this is the problem, we live in a world of prejudice where a man can’t have a view point because he looks or does certain things that people feel don’t relate to his view point.
@@enosger because his whole thing used to be right wing = evil. He has changed a lot in the last decade and now it's awesome to watch his opinion even if I don't agree with his perspective.
Russel was always well informed and highly touched by the struggles of humanity which is probably what kept him blurring it out with his chosen aids, hard living in this world as an empath when all around you see the nastiness of human behaviour.
@@enosger I think you missed the point. Entirely. The whole point of my comment was that I'm happy to see Russell has found the proper outlet to reveal to the world a magnificent side of himself that he did well to keep separate from his earlier career as a comedian. And that i am thankful for him doing so, as i appreciate his frame of reference and the lighter perspective he brings to the very serious topics discussed on this channel. However, i do appreciate you judging me and dismissing my viewpoint because you didn't understand it. Maybe you're the problem?
@@dynomantar9733 RB is a self-promoting opportunist. He saw that the wind was turning so he changed his tack.
We need more Russell brands in the world who can talk to people they disagree with and have respectable civil debate without labeling them or dismissing them before hearing them
Although I believe he let himself get baited by Candice's rehearsed controversial talking points. This interview seemed to go off the rails bc Russell believed Candice was being truthful, instead of continuing a conservative character she plays in the media.
@@fadenmac8092 I think Candace is being truthful. Not sure what you mean by her playing a character? She believes what she says wholeheartedly and is true to herself.
Absolutely. I totally agree with Candices point and I appreciate both of their passions. Russell’s ability to have a debate with someone that thinks totally opposite is what the world needs to be able to do. Being able to have respectful debates is what is missing, particularly in politics. Everyone is so quick to call everyone else names or argue when their views don’t match their own.
Again with people saying respectfully he debated. Saying "Are you mental?" is not respectfully debating.. I don't understand.
@@cfish0031 I think overall conservatives are just happy to be given a platform to share ideas instead of being cxl, blocked, or dismissed before they’re heard. It’s refreshing to see him sit down and discuss things with people he may disagree with because he wants to understand. Anymore it’s like the other side is afraid of even hearing ideas and opinions they disagree with
I like you both, enjoy listening to each of you, and agree and disagree with both of you on stuff. Happy to see you both sitting opposite each other while being civil. In fact, I really hope you guys are friends becasue this is what the world needs now more than ever .... R and D, left and right, being able to be more than just civil, but to be friends again. There was a time, a saner time not so long ago when I lived in this world. I want it is back desperately.
I really enjoyed this interview. More please. Valid questions! There is more greed at the top then the bottom, hands down! When you have powerful institutions, they control your reality, and your fate.
Just the fact that dialogue is open and honest makes this very legitimate. I dont agree w Russels brand of politics most of the time as i am a conservative, but dialogue and openess makes us stronger. Rallies us. Makes us think. Respect one another. Makes our world stronger.
Not sure you could call it "honest". That is a strange word to use about a debate. Each side has a history of developing their ideals and here they are just trying to win. That is a far cry from "honest". Debates are not honest, but they can be fair or unfair.
Republicans in general aren’t honest lol
@@memes3751 That's quite the strong statement, as you insinuate that democrats aren't as dishonest themselves. And, if you believe that, you are a fool.
@@berno8535 ik someone in here was going to give me a both are bad argument and my answer is yes BOTH parties are terrible but the republicans are on another level of awful
U can unsubcribe now. Go back to your hole
"Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he'll eat for a lifetime." Empowerment rather than dependence.
Give a man a fish and he'll ask you "where are the chips"?
And how does a person without arms fish?
give a man a fish everyday and he will eat for a lifetime it's more of what i want. easy money.
But the rich own the fishing rod, the bait, the fish and the ocean.
Candice owned the debate lol
Wow, I wondered what would happen if two of my favorite commentators went head to head. And there it is, intelligent and respectful debate. It's possible.
Both made solid arguments
But to Russ I would offer the quote.
“When you expect people to live by the rules and regulations that you have placed upon yourself.. you may find yourself frustrated with everyone.”
-T. Robbins
I dig the T. Robbins quote you shared; however Russell is way off from a solid point by wanting to take money/wealth/profits, call it what you will, from any company/person and have it in the hands of government (any government) which will use those funds to further suppress the citizenry.
It would read better ‘ rules that you had not placed on yourself” I never see those espousing socialism, giving away all that they have. AOC, Bernie, et al
@@chestrockwell8328 goes both way but by default, private entity are more dangerous and i include fascist government who function like a private corporation.
@@whatsup9260 never has a private entity been as suppressive as a government unless in cahoots with a government. Prior to the massive power held by big tech, the biggest corporations never truly were, on their own, able suppress a citizenry.
I didn't know that contradicting himself in 2 sentences back to back and straight up lying is a good point... Hilarious.
Russell is crazy.
But goddamn it I love him. He’s the respectful adversary we all deserve. Class act.
@@thetruth9210 Tbf who is respectful to him...
I'm not a Republican but I'm curious...Does Russell Brand plan to give up his considerable wealth? I wonder how many trusts and tax shelters he has.
I like this comment.
I don’t know your definition of crazy but he’s more sane than the majority of people on this planet. Note: I don’t agree with everything he says but he makes a lot of sense than most.
@@thetruth9210 So does the rest of the human race. One person does not need to be the example we all base the truth off of. That is the problem with the United States.
Brilliant, passionate, respectful and interesting debate. Love it.
I agree with your point. Not many people are on a level playing field.
I respect Russell Brand for being willing to talk with people he disagrees with.
or at least listen to them.
Russel: "Don't look at me with that "That's fact Face" " Lol 😂
ua-cam.com/video/t8hz9oj1dzc/v-deo.html.m
He said “tax face”
@@LiveAtEs No. He said “don’t look at me with that’s facts face”
@@Strawn149 i heard tax but maybe you’re right…. Tax is much funnier
@@LiveAtEs Turn on the Captions. He said "That's Fact Face". She was telling him that's fact and he was saying don't look at me with that that's fact face. Tax face makes no sense. She was looking at him with a face saying "That's fact"
Brilliant! Both make solid points...love them both
Beautiful, meaningful debate.
This is how adults have conversations. You guys are the spitting image of how a conversation although not always agreeing, are able to stay mindful of the other. Well done
What do you mean? He's yelling, screaming, hostile, calling her "Mental", cutting her off each time she forms a thought, demeaning and condescending.
That's NO WAY to have a conversation.
Not adults, Russell is a child in a man's body who wants to literally steal most of successful people's money.
He says it clear as a bell here. He's a fascist
Have you seen the other side of this spectrum? A trump supporter vs a member of BLM? This my friend ,although very different, is a rational conversation. Or, as rational as two individuals on complete opposite sides of the spectrum can get.
@@williamjamison2513 There's nothing rational at all about what Russell is spewing. The more factual Candace gets, the more sentimental and emotional Russell gets. People on different sides of an issue can be very rational. But in this case, I only see one person being rational and it's not Russell.
I appreciate that he had Candace on his show, but all I see him doing is having a major tantrum. I was really hoping for so much more. When he was with Ben Shapiro, he appeared to be more civil and contemplative and the dialogue was stimulating and conversational. This, however, was not a conversation.
Let me say to all of you, I feel as though you think I’m trying to protect Russell or I’m on his side. Trust me when I tell you no one has more right, or republican views then myself. However, Russell is a brilliant person and I appreciate His ability to have a conversation. Now, I absolutely adore Candace. I truly believe Ben Schapiro for president and Candace Owens a as Vice But what I can’t understand is how y’all do not see the progress just in the fact that they are speaking and believe it or not they get along very well. So y’all relax
I'm just imagining sitting across their table at a restaurant and being like:
😳👂🏻😳👂🏻😳👂🏻😳👂🏻😳👂🏻😳👂🏻😳
Such a breath of fresh air to see a civilized debate. Russel states the value of compassion but it is not the role of government to dictate compassion. Compassion falls within the realm of the individual, parents, religion, culture and society in general. Compassion is a inherent w/i individuals and is a choice. Government can dictate all day long but if a person doesn't comprehend the inherent humanity of compassion, they will not show compassion.
I thought Candace won that debate hands down. She was absolutely correct. I grew up poor by the way, raised by a single mom. I have lived long enough to know how the world works. I put myself through college at age 34 sacrificed a lot by doing it too. I paid for my own education too. If people have worked hard to be successful, they have earned it by hard work. It's not fair to those that have worked their asses off for it just to be taxed more to help everyone. If you want to be successful financially, you can do it all by yourself. I did. I also help a lot of people as well. Taxing the rich more will not make a difference. They provide jobs, and without jobs everyone will be poor. Candace explained it well. Socialism has been tried in history, go study what a failure it has always been. Some of us that are older than the both of you, know it. Every young person has no idea how that feels trying to survive it, and that is where we are headed off of a cliff if you elect a socialist or Biden. Just being honest. Talk to someone who has been through it, before you push for it.
We must have watched different debates as Russell won hands down. She had nothing to say except expousing the same old greed and bs, that's what the matrix you're born into (but you don't even know it) does, it makes you a cog in a machine. Find out how currency creation works in a fiat fractional reserve banking system, the dice are loaded and the rich stay rich and generally the poor stay poor. If you truly believe that this current nightmare is taking you anywhere but to abject poverty you're uninformed. Wait till programmed cbdc is introduced and cash is withdrawn. The fact some of us older than you know is that it's the fundamental system which is flawed and corrupt it doesn't matter which ideology you apply, the WEF are correct we need to build back better just not how they believe.
I genuinely pity you if that is your world view. What a weak-minded, naive outlook on society, I suggest you lay off the conservative rabbithole and whatever bullshit narrative they try and push down your throat. Here's a thought experiment, a fairly simple one to highlight the absurdity of your understanding about the world: compare a child that is born in Africa to one that is born in Scandinavia. Predict me their future, and once you've done so, explain the reasons one is statistically more likely going to live a successful life compared to the other (i.e. better health, better education, better work opportunities). Once you've done that, explain what the fundamental causes of those differences are.
I worked hard too, starting at 14, but I also know others did not come from a stable, if single-parent household, but have been abused, and beaten down by parents, and by life. I am happy to help them. I have enough. I worked hard. My husband works hard, We are happy to share too.
Keep your hard earned money. I think russel is targeting billionaires only.
But I think both are missing the point that human society needs to create a new economic/fiat system. We can't GO BACK to something that hasn't worked before. But there is always a way forward. And this system does have ingrained issues that are not going anywhere. It actually REQUIRES inequity to function and assign value to the dollar. It's a built in flaw. It needs to change.
She lied. How did she win? Candace owens needs to be held accountable for lying, she said over %85 and then follows by saying that's a fact arrogantly when here is the actual facts. " According to a 2021 White House study, the wealthiest 400 billionaire families in the US paid an average federal individual tax rate of just 8.2 percent. For comparison, the average American taxpayer in the same year paid 13 percent." Please study before you speak inadequately and act as if you know more when you clearly don't..... I'm surprised more people haven't pointed this out, shear ignorance. Please stop pretending you know things you don't. Poor people pay more taxes than rich. Rich people are known for avoiding taxes that's why russel said "that's a fact? " Cause he knew that was off.. he should have digged his heals in more cause he easily could out smart her.
This is the BEAUTIFUL! We need more civil discussion with people on opposite sides, not to cancel them or to outright dismiss them! Bravo Russel!
It's cool that he actually debates conservatives. That alone makes him better than 90% of the worlds leftist.
So according to Owen's, the rich pays 85% of American taxes, and there still billionaires. and the rest of us pay only 15% of Americas taxes and still most of us live under the poverty line. What does that tell you? It tells you that the rich is making so much money that they could pay 85% of America's taxes and still be filthy stinking rich and there paying there employees so low that there struggle with paying 15% of the taxes. That horrible! That doesn't sound fair. Isn't it fair that the people could get together and vote on how much it cost to conduct business in America? Do you think the corporation should decide how much it cost to conduct business in America, or is it up to the people?. If you don't like it , you are free to do business somewhere else. And I say they owe more in taxes or make them pay there employees what there worth , either way stop being a puppet for the rich. Stop feeling sorry for them, there fine. The republican only hates socialism for the poor, they love it for the rich. Remember when the poor got together to fight the rich by saving game stop and ruining there stocks? All Republicans wanted to bail out the rich. Remember Trump trade war with China, he had to bail out failing farming companies with billions of dollars because of it. The rich still owe us from the last bail due to the economy collapsing under a republican president, Bush. Im not saying the democrats are all good, but you really need to stop voting republican.
he's reaching across.
I like him but in deep in Candices camp
@@johnrambo6314 America is about equal opportunity not equal outcomes which would be socialism or communism. Maybe you should stop berating those who are doing better than you? Voting only encourages those who wish to rule you. Government is organized crime and taxation is theft more specifically, extortion.
2:32 "Are you mental?"
very civil...
You both won by having a civil respectful conversation .
At the end of the day though...only one can be right
Not really. Productive achievement and moving forward comes from choosing a specific and effective path of action and taking that path. Candace discusses the path that altho not perfect, is completely proven to be the very best option.
He was angry and disrespectful. She destroyed him with facts while keeping her composure
Good chemistry between you and Candace. What an entertaining clash of temperaments while at the same pointing to your large commonalities.
This was fun to watch.
"don't look at me with that, that's a fact face!" ha ha. The comedian in Russell is always accessible which disarms the rancor in the conversation. Good on Candace as well.
she don't disappoint I would love to see her in an office
Yes I mean Oval
He was flirting lol and I think he was flirting because she won that point so he was obfuscating
6:00 Russ: "where is there a role then for compassion and kindness?"
Candace: "not in politics"
Me: well that's why we shouldn't allow politicians (of all parties) to get so wealthy as they "serve" us. They can't relate to the majority of the people they vow to "serve"
Well said 🤘
You’re right it’s called public service for a reason
Amazing when 2 brilliant and interesting people have a great conversation
The MOST IMPORTANT THING: FREEDOM OF SPEECH! I love listening to intelligent, courageous, Brave, controversy PEOPLE ! Life is so rich and full of details. Thank God for your lives!!! ❤️💕💐💕❤️
We really should talk to people who we disagree with more often. The key is for both involved to come away with a little bit of learning
I agree
Testing our boundaries so we can extend them
If you don't argue with me I don't know what I think.
So If we argue, I say thank you.
Because by your taking of a different point of view, I understand what I mean, so I can't get rid of you. -Alan Watts
I think Russel learned more than Candace in this debate. I think Russel actually agrees with her more than he lets on.
@@ericgrabowski_pro-video-editor most likely...Alan watts, great thinker.
Today’s schools dont teach this because they only believe in one (leftist) right. In medicine its pharma’s right. They no longer honour truth, and that’s catastrophic
Russell "I hope we can stay kind." Also Russell "Have you gone mental??"
lmao...that was funny
He hoped 😆 but is he wrong?
@@bobbyrawsknz Yes. Lol
This the most aggressive, even disrespectful interaction I've seen him have with a guest. Interrupting, shouting, the mental comment. A turn off.
thought the same. Posted this: Are you using again? You seem to have changed a bit man. Im worried about you. You seem to be losing control. And PS, you have been incredible rude to Candace. Shes forgotten more than you ever knew, and you have to realize that, and learn. Try not to speak over your teacher
Really good points on both sides actually. This was by far one of the most rewarding conversations to hear.
Love you Russell. Dont always agree but I do admire your ability to communicate. Candace is awesome :)
There needs to be more of this kind of dialogue in the world, to just hear each others side of the story without yelling at the person! Well done to the both of you!
Absolutely 💯 and both Candace and Russell did a wonderful job 👏 except for Russell being a bit more impatient and thus interrupting the lady more than necessary 😀 to put it mildly.
He was way to over the top.
As Russell shouts “are you mental?” Lol
This looks like a civil division (old school)
Nowandays its more MINCED than just devided
Socialism now that sounds good.
I miss when people could honestly disagree and debate on good faith.
There was never a time like that.
This literally just happened.
Bruh same.
Candace is a grifter, she's simply learned talking points and is propped up by right wing donors, nothing good faith going on here lol
@@Laurence1987uk hate hate hate, that’s all I hear from your comment
Russell is evolving. He is moving in the right direction. Towards Candaces understanding.
Love how they know where they stand in the conversation at any point
Russel: "Lets hope we can stay respectful in this conversation"
Also Russel: "are you mental???"
Lol... I laughed at that too. To be fair.. a comedian can insult you and still be funny about it.
this is about as much respect as the moronic rhetoric she spouts deserves
@@hrvsmart explain?
@@LED7ZEPPELIN7NEMEC taxation isn't theft, it's an accepted part of the social contract
@@hrvsmart what are you talking about? Who said taxation is theft?
Russell I don’t agree with all you say but the fact you’re having an open dialogue is such a beautiful thing. Thank you so much!!!

@@johnrambo6314 taxes are benefic to big enterprises because while it make them pay more , it kills at the same times the smaller buisness and give them more and more monopoly.
Maybe thats why all the big enterprises / banks vote socialist .
Russell Brand, I am absolutely love your conversations with Candace Owens. I agree mostly with Candace but I enjoy the bantering and exchange of ideas. Do more please.
Russell, you've hit the nail on the head. Your mentality of not just the self but also also looking out for others. Plus a plethora of other ideas you introduced. Good stuff.
This man said “don’t look at me with ‘that’s facts’ face” lmaoooo
Exactly.. "facts"
@@paulh2343 what is one thing Candace said that is not factual?
I'm starting to like brand, or respect him at least, but this was a facts vs feelings argument. Idealism vs reality. And Candace is the realist.
@@scottmartin7717 1 thing?.. ok, that billionaires want socialism. If you believe they're itching to give their workers the means of production, then i have some Enron shares to sell to you
@@paulh2343 A handful of billionaires want to control the country/world. They dislike competition, so they wish to kill small businesses, and use the government to insure the continuity of their power. That's literally what happened during 2020. Hold the Enron shares and stop voting for the damn Democrats already.
@@paulh2343 Candace said they push socialism (read: for thee, not for me) so that they can keep power. It is true that Bezos and Soros back far-left policies, but they aren't exactly clamoring for proliteriat control of their facilities and wealth.
I disagree with Russell on these issues but he's respectful to Candace unlike other debaters have been with her.
he literally asked her if she was mental
@@Lily-hy1vi haha..yeah, but that was tame compared to what she's been called before.
@@copperstillco Take everything from Bezos except for a reasonable stipend and tax Amazon into the ground is pretty mental if you understand economics at all.
@@dw1002 Not only that, but tax them to the ground and more of their entry positions become exactly minimum wage, jobs get cut, there's less growth that the earned money from taxes would stagnate. You can either play the short quick money game or the long big money game and as long as Amazon keeps growing as a business, the US economy actually grows from that. You're mental to think that taxing businesses that have helped create jobs around the world that benefits the mainland economy just to feed some homeless guy is going to be of help to the overarching picture. Going over the edge might cause an avalanche of problems that it starts cascading on the middle class and then on the lower class.
@@jcrofficial4309 the US economy is built on lies, it's funny how people don't get that.
Great debate! thanks
Love Candace she’s amazing
Tell us you're a racist without saying it...
This was gorgeous. People attacking arguments instead of each other~✨
EDIT: Yes, I heard him _ask_ if she was “mental”. He did not _call_ her mental. It’s not ad hominem. It was a rhetorical question to express his *surprise* . C’mon guys, you know this.
…also thanks for all the likes!🙃
Yup, that's a skill that a lot of people don't have
I think that's the best description yet I'm going to steal that from you I hope you don't mind.
It's beautiful because underneath the arguments they have a real chemistry that shines through. It's easy to imagine them having a good laugh and shooting the shit when it's all said and done. That's how it should be. Don't let your arguments and politics define you
What? He asked, "Are you mental?" Is that not an attack?
@@briankeitht he was joking and being playful. Watch the whole podcast and it's obvious they are having a good time. They even share some laughs at times. Good conversation honestly.
This is seriously one of the most beautiful, passionate debates I've seen, that attacks only ideas, but seeks understanding. The looks, the giggles, the general demeanor... These two respect each other, AND disagree greatly on this issue. Because of this, I've been exposed to multiple ideas and views and now I can form my own values and beliefs with the plethora of dense information I've just digested. So gorgeous.
This is what politics is missing. As soon as it would get heated, they would smile at each other, because they obviously respect that they have different views... but don't have to get personal about it. Such a breath a fresh air to watch this kind of debate!
Candice looks absolutely beautiful during this interview. She is one smart cookie and it felt like you guys were arguing on the same side about something very ambiguous. I love watching your interviews Russel even when you sometimes are a little passionate beyond sense.xx
