It is a great man who uses his fame to help humanity!! Many celebs would be afraid for their careers. We need more brave men like Russell.

Thanks to Russell for being an able, normal, vulnerable, feeling being, and communicating about it. He is doing something about what he cares about, not just being a talking head. I'm a mum, and I'm proud of him.

The metaphor about noticing and pointing out a house on fire was perfect. Russell never fails to impress me. I feel sorry for him sometimes as he is portrayed in the media as tilting at windmills when I feel he is doing an admirable job at what he is trying to accomplish. It is simple and straightforward to me. Just get involved in your own life and in the world around you in any way you can. It gives me inspiration and hope. And that is good. Thanks Russell. Peace.

i was so moved when russell said that he wants his mother to be proud of him when he tries to make the world a better place. that he wants to do something with his life that his nan would be proud of.

Russell is such a beautiful human

"Think globally, act locally." The idea has been around a long time. The cool thing about Russel Brand is he's animating that idea.

I'm obsessed with interviews, I've watched thousands... This is top 5 right here.

When Russell Brand did the interview with this dude Paxman on BBC it was fire, especially at the end when you brought up his emotional reaction to his ancestors and talked about emotional porn. This guy is the voice of a generation, Im grateful he is speaking for us!

Change is in the air. Supporting you Russ.

A truly down to earth and caring guy. Thanks Russell Brand.

The best thing Russell is advocating is changing your own life, and taking charge if it, rather than playing the victim and just drifting through life based on what you've been TRAINED to do.

I think Russell Brand is a caring, passionate and introspective soul who sees the problems in the world and is trying to do his part to help mankind and its problems. When God asks him at the end of his life , "what have you done with your life my son .....", Im certain that he will have lots to say about how he tried to help. It is better to be part of the solution, than part of the problem. Don't judge a man by the mistakes he might have made, but by how he tried to fix them and even those that even he himself might not even be responsible for.

Gotta respect Russell for beating drugs and alcohol

I hate how this guy interrupts Russell at the end of ever answer. I mean let him finish what he's saying.

Best thing I've heard is that Prayer is when you ask for advice ...... meditation is when the answers come through.

love the comparison to John Lennon he would have been great friends with Russell they both are / were ahead of their times very forward thinking souls .

wishing the interviewer would let Russell answer a question.

Good for you, Russell. Hero of the everyday bloke.

OK, I've been a fan of Russell for 6+ years and always believed in him, so it's no revelation that I loved him in this interview, but Geoff! I now have a bit of a crush on you as well. That bit at the end where you asked to cuddle him - that was precious! What a nice, intelligent guy. (Both of you.)

He's such a beautiful person

As always russell, a well articulated discussion.

Russel got my full respect watching interveiws from him. He's a game changer.. thank you Russel💜

Unconditional compassion and equanimity is being introduced to a new generation thank you Mr. Brand for being who you are. I am so proud Amy Goodman interviewed you finally. Now I want you to meet Dr. Cornell West my favorite professor..

I've been attempting to consume everything I can find on Russell Brand over the last few days, and I have to say that it's been so extremely relieving to finally hear someone speaking the truth about the trajectory of our society. He educates in a way that is not intimidating or exclusionary. I've ordered his book and am very much looking forward to reading it. This was a great interview, and the host was insightful and obviously does have great empathy for the the difficult war Russell is attempting to wage on our archaic political system and the transnational corporations which control it. It must be tiring, but I hope for nothing more than Russell to continue this quest. The only thing I found myself questioning when Russell spoke, is whether we really do need a a single heroic figure to rally behind, as well as a unified global movement. With the ecological destruction we're raining down, and the complete reliance of our minds on media for formulating opinions, I think a global movement initiated by someone with a feverish intellect and compassion for all people is exactly what we need. If it was dually grounded in the principals of separating money from politics and curbing the mass extinction engulfing the planet, our species just may find a path to an enjoyable sustainable existence.

I love Russell Brand! He is such a nice bloke, and right on with his views on equality issues!

I’m so glad Russel exists in this troubled time

We need more people like you Russell telling it like it is instead of the dross that comes from mainstream media. Good on ya!

I appreciate Russell for this. We need more great men to come forth and stand up for the voiceless.

Way to go Russell, interview great and looking good. I need to get his book and read it.

This seems even better than the first time I saw it . Something's going on (in me ) : Maybe as I'm reading Russell's brilliant book and checking-out more and more of his vids I'm becoming more aware . Open to understanding the implications of what's being said and the possibilities that exist from moment to moment in my own life . This past year has been extremely positive for me , and that , I am sure , is very much to do with deciding to take Russell seriously , and listen to him . Thank you Russell - you've helped to revolutionize my life , and you've definitely made me happier . ♥

This was actually a very good interview. Thank you.

your the Man ! Russell! when you talk i hear myself! and how i truly feel!!! love ya bro!!

Beautiful, inspiring interview.

You aired your views and you are a gentlemen with a heart of gold, doing a wonderful thing for ordinary people the Aristocratic people will never understand. Keep up the good work Russ!

Russell using his celebrity and fame for a greater good whatever the impact is a noble act.He is following a spiritual path and negative forces will try to get him off that path and these negative forces will work through negative people.Keep the faith Russell.Good will always triumph over evil.

Great talk Russell and Geoff - thanks!

I really like this interview. Russell is sharing his views, no drama. I think interviewer really did not need to go for the kiss in the end, it is as if he wanted to create that excess drama whose lack is what makes this interview great and special

Bit late but what a great interview. Quick and straight to the point. Honest with great advice and questions.

one of my biggest pet peeves is when people say things like" are you okay, you look upset, ect....your eyes look tired??? Really? I mean really?????? why do people like to to be so awkward if something where wrong do you think saying that helps? no it makes it worse, you r insulting someone while trying to mask it with superficial concern for them, like he really gives a crap about whether Russell is okay or not, he just wants to put him on the spot to create some kind of drama from Russel because anyone with half a brain knows how patronizing that crap is!!

What a lovely interview!

I love you Russell!!! Thank you for your voice and ability to articulate the concerns of ordinary citizens.... Challenging the norms... WOOHOO!!! Inspires me to continue challenging the norms.. :)

aww i love this interview so much :)

Great interview. Jeff interrupts the ends of Russell’s answers initially but this helped Russel stay on topic.

‘ One day at a time ‘ is a good approach for a whole range of things....addiction, getting over grief, depression. Tapping in to our power / rising above the desire for a Hero to do it for us. Not easy / but Best.

15:24 That is the key message that people in our society need to wake up and understand! Well done Russell.

funny that everyone who disagrees with russell just calls him and idiot or says he talks out his ass. i have yet to see anyone truly break down and disprove what he has to say

Russell is A kind gentle soul.

Not all heroes wear capes... Mad Respect

this was a refreshing interview. thanks you

he looks so chill. wow.

and the ending is soo sweet!

He's absolutely right: we _don't_ hear about positive revolutions. "Revolution" should not be an incendiary word; it is, and shall always be, a call to hold systems to a higher standard.

How can anyone not like this man? Such a decent, down to earth human being who genuinely cares about his cause. He preaches equality and that everyone should get along. Not a bad message is it?

This interviewer was a tad hard to tolerate for whatever reason but kudo's to Russell for not re-acting to his interruptions and over-zealous ways. Always a pleasure to listen to a genuine and generous human being. Keep speaking Russell Brand.

Decentralisation of power is the key. help people get off the electric grid, help people grow local foods, help people innovate new technological paradims.

Russell, you truly are a Genius.

''Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.'' George Orwell

He has such a soothing voice

"Well, if no one out there understands, start your own revolution and cut out the middle man,waiting for the great leap forward." to quote Billy Bragg, so sayeth Russell also, and I say aye!

Who is really the better broadcaster? The guy who seems curious and eager to learn or the guy who screams the same thing over and over. This conversation grew organically and was quite enjoyable.

great points russel !

The "Revolution" Russel talks about is NOT one of violence. It's a Revolution of OUR MINDS ! 💖

Thank you 🙏 so much Russell for your words and your truth ➰💫🎆

Truly awesome person. Great ideas.❤

The more I listen to you you more I like you you love you Russell Brand watching you and for What It's Worth I'm in recovery too

Russel, you beautiful soul

I love this guy.

He is one spectacular guy. Proud of him as a fellow human. We need less sheep and robots and more peace and true equality loving gent like him. He inspires me greatly. Much respect. x

I hope one day I can marry a man like this, he really and truly cares for humanity. May god bless him 💗

Russell was amazing how well he treated that interviewer. The interviewer was one of the most rude I've ever seen treat anyone.

I Love You Russell and Believe what You are Standing for. Xo's

thank you Russell Brand

Brand was very calm and patient with this interviewer, all he did was interrupt Brand constantly. Maybe he loves the sound of his own voice and forgot Brand was there to speak.

Love You Russ.

Awesome ending.

he is so so gorgeous! id do (almost) anything to meet Russell Brand

Finally a real HUMAN !!! Good job Russell. You are working for the right Brand......

Hero! Keep it up man!

Russell was amazing in this interview despite all Geoff's interruptions! Guess Geoff is used to holding the floor! And that kiss at the end was disrespectuful of Russell. Russell was gracious in his handling of it too.

i wish i could be like russel :( how anyone hates this truth telling, honest courageous person, must only hate themself

Russelll is much calmer in the morning. lol :)

You very good and intelligent keep up the good work

I hear no lies. The business model idea is great.

Great guy

Russell Brand is a very intelligent man.

How someone can focus on what Russel's wearing, rather than listening to this mans valid points is beyond me.

Brilliant Mind!

Legend

Russell Brand for the fucking win. Such a great interview. Well played!

yes i am changing things may the universise bless you

EMPATHY, God love Ya Russell

vote Russell Brand

the 33 aside this was an amazing interview

That’s a great point, it feels like he’s one of the only one now a days promoting change. Kinda weird at the end where the interviewer tries to kiss him lol back up

Just read some books where the protagonist reminds me a little of russell brand - a political sci fi series here in the UK called 'The chronicles of hope'. It's about a visionary, humanitarian, working-class genius politician, based on another planet habitable for human life in the 2080's. It's funny, original, and the protagonist is incredible #franknoon

this cameraman needs to chill the heck out, geesh i don't need to see his shoes and tattoos every other second. it's so distracting.

Russell Your Amazingly Intelligent and Your Right On!!!!!!!

It bothers me to no end when people tell you that if you do not propose a completely formed alternative explanation/course of action/whatever then your observation that the current one does not work is not to be heeded.

whoa the end game of that interview was an uncomfortable surprise. Im proud of you Russell you don't need to be a politician in order to change the communities. That will only take away your rights. God bless.

Go Russell.
