Love your work big Homie🇺🇸

Russell, you are an inspiration and a constant help to me and you habe been since about 10 years ago. I really struggle with trusting people, I've never met you, but I know beyond doubt you are a good person. I suffer with paranoia and its very difficult to trust. But I'm so glad you are here to listen to and you really.do help me xx

Excellent man. I am a Shapiro viewer and also find your show just as valuable. Like you said, I don't want to just talk with people I agree with and that is fantastic. You've come a long way and glad you learned how to battle your inner demons. Keep up the good show. You've earned it.

Good on you man. Total respect for daring to be different and having shapiro on. Takes balls these days to give a platform to people like him. I don't always agree with him but he's got some bloody good points.

Damn it's still premiering, 1031am pacific,.. you fucking nailed it Russell! Wow. Utopia is the only unattainable goal society can do worth suffering for. Struggle will have it's due, know the paths to heaven and hell.

Yes and it's sad that it's a rarity. A wise person takes in knowledge from others rather than believing he knows it all. Proverbs 27:17 - "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens his friend."

RB said he believes in god- So not quite atheist. But he sees where politics and cultures have been twisted into religion to cause suffering and control. Beautiful ❤️

Wow very well said sir....honestly who wants to have the same views as everyone else....isn't watching the superbowl more fun when your with friends who root for the other team? I mean cmon.....the party of peace and tolerance has turned into a discriminating intolerant machine....its so hypocritical...they begged us to except them....we did....now they are trying to shove all their disgusting views down our throats...and if we dont eat it up and say....thank u sir may I have another? We are targeted....Christianity is the new punk rock

Russell has really shown the way forward for everyone.

Are u sure he’s not writing quick responses?

lol yeah if only Shapiro was being honest

😂😂 right!?

@Manuel Mena i'm also curious about what he was dishonest about because i don't usually watch him

@Manuel Mena I watch him all the time. In what was he dishonest??? Your silence is deafening!! I'm not hearing you!!

Gone silent now that people have called ya out 😂

This is the weirdest time line. People we are told are irrational, unreasonable, evil, etc., spend their time engaging in attempts to resolve issues through discussion, logic, philosophy, references to scholarship both recent and ancient, and similar, on "new" media. People we are told are good, kind, and honorable spend their time screeching on legacy network television.

@@DanEvens-tb1tg Perhaps it’s time to reassess who you look to for direction, maybe to place higher value on your own instincts and conclusions, to allow yourself the freedom to disagree with policies of groups with which you have traditionally been aligned. It’s not easy and it certainly takes courage, in less than tolerant circles it can even leave you isolated, but it is likely to lead to a greater feeling of honesty, integrity, enrichment and meaning in your life. Feelings of being at peace with yourself. Just my thoughts.

Why would sin separate you from god & how does it empower demons? Do all sins separate you from god equal 😅 like murder & stealing a cookies? What level of sin causes what level of separation? How can you be separated from god at all as well, how does that work? What are demons ? If Jesus was without sin why in Bible does devil & demons come to him to battle him the same as sinners? 😅 Answer questions like these could lead me to believe

@@skepticalthesensible Those are great questions. Most of which I am not able to offer a definitive answer, but I can definitely give a try! Q1: "Why would sin separate you from god?" in Isaiah 59, it discusses this exact point. Roman 2 as well. Both good reading that can help you understand better. But here is my take: sin has a consequence not only to you, but also to those around you. True Christianism is about love and loving is how you show to others that you are a true christian (a reflexion of god from you), by sinning, your reflection is not one that is Godly (as God has no sin) Q2: "how does it (sin) empower demons?" There are different approaches for this answer, here is one: after you sin, you often think about the consequences and often feel bad. That may sometimes create a cycle of bad/destructive behavior, which will often weaken you and makes demon's actions more effectively. Q3: "Do all sins separate you from god equal like murder & stealing a cookies? What level of sin causes what level of separation?" This is a hard one to understand, but some passages from the Bible seem to suggest that both of your examples create the same level of separation. Read James 2:10. The one exception seems to be the sins that lead to death (though my interpretation is that it is speaking of absence of god, that leads to death in the sense of no eternal life). Repenting and fixing the consequences of murder vs the cooking robbery are often what causes one to probably cause a big separation though. Q4: "What are demons ?" entities working on behalf of the enemy. these entities can be manifested in different way, but are often associated with a change in behavior of one individual or in increasing temptation towards sin for all of us. Q5: "If Jesus was without sin why in Bible does devil & demons come to him to battle him the same as sinners?" The enemy and demons are not tempting and attacking as a consequence of sin. Jesus was 100% God and 100% human (I know the math does not add up) and, just like all other humans, he was attacked. The separation of God makes you more likely to succumb to temptations because you need your own strength to do, and sometimes that is not enough. Although Jesus was tempted and attacked, he was able to sustain and be without sin because his human side, was very close to his Godly side. I have a very limited knowledge, but I still felt inclined to answer you. I'd be glad to continue the discussion in this or other forum if you'd like.

Word. I can barely get through a conversation with family members these days. I miss the times before the internet, when we walked outside to see and speak to our friends.

POTUS TRUMP WILL WIN AGAIN BECAUSE WE THE PEOPLE OF THE USA ARE WITH HIM 1000% BECAUSE HE IS THE ONLY PERSON WHO IS FIGHT FOR OUR FREEDOM FROM THE CORRUPT DEMOCRATS AND RINOS WHO HAVE PROVEN OVER AND OVER THEY ARE SELLING US OUT TO THE GLOBALIST CARTELS 🙏🇺🇸🙏

Honestly, it's not rare. It's rare that you see it on this scale with this many people watching, but in the real world when 2 people are having a good faith conversation, and I CANNOT stress "Good Faith" enough here, it's how things should be. And frankly, how things used to be before everything was all about scoring political points for the onlookers all the time. When you have 2 people who are chiefly interested in communicating effectively with each other, this is what happens.

Why would sin separate you from god & how does it empower demons? Do all sins separate you from god equal 😅 like murder & stealing a cookies? What level of sin causes what level of separation?

If Jesus was without sin why in Bible does devil & demons come to him to battle him the same as sinners? 😅 Answer questions like these could lead me to believe

​@@skepticalthesensible I am not religious, but I have some possible answers for you. Obviously as flawed mortal beings we can't assume that we could fully and accurately articulate these answers. Sin separates you from god because it takes you off the path of good, by what amount is often differing depending on the severity, but there are certain sins that everyone can easily point to as evil and people moving away from that and towards what is most commonly referred to as good, is in theory moving towards some higher power, both for yourself and the people around you. This has touched on the empowering demons thing but it will make more sense to address that with the what are demons question. Hopefully the above kind of explains the 2nd/3rd questions. Demons are those things in you that are dark and evil. Some people like to think they don't exist in them, but anyone who's lived long enough will tell you that's naive. Everyone loses control sometimes, everyone looks back on some of their more questionable actions and think "who was that?" or "What was I thinking?" Everyone has the capacity to spiral with their personal demons and experiences with evil that can take them away from what could've been a much better path. So when we say someone is "influenced/possessed by demons" it's usually not indicating invisible creatures, but simplifying the complex influences that drive a person to do evil into one entity. I don't know the Bible well enough to understand the last question fully, but I'm sure it is some metaphor, perhaps Jesus was battling both the sinners, and their inner demons, perhaps the inner demons of all people including in himself. What made people think Jesus was divine in nature was that he never heeded his demons and instead had the ability to fight them, and spent his life trying to teach that ability to others. I don't know what belief you hope to have, but I hope this helps give you an additional lens to look at religion through that may open your mind up to it.

Wonder if it has to do anything with his genuine curiosity and interest in his guests’ ideas?

Because he listens.

We need a Russell and Joe Show

i think allowing eachother time to fully unpack and present their points of view is critical - journos always seem so rushed, its almost impossible to get any depth or respect for the exchange of ideas

I believe most of this is Mr. Brand's actual interest in his interview.

Ha. Nice. I'm getting so sick of everyone on KZfaq being DESTROYED and HUMILIATED and EVISCERATED...

@@jeffreytucker905 I know right?! This SHOCKED me…after this interview I was left SPEECHLESS!

New title.. Conversation goes nowhere and Mr Shapiro has learned what people say when he call people unfounded names.

Shapiro’s belief system and modus operandi are functionally disrespectful and demeaning to his own species. He is a charismatic and conniving bigot.

@@riobrasilsambashowssambist1453 Or any of the other pigeon-holes.

And as you watch the interview, when Ben is talking Russell is taking notes. When you talk about Russell asking pertinent questions it comes down to his process where he notes things down so he can refer to the notes when formulating questions. It's a highly professional and respectful way of interviewing because it means that he's paying attention.

This discussion was a very pleasant surprise.

If Jesus was without sin why in Bible does devil & demons come to him to battle him the same as sinners? 😅 Answer questions like these could lead me to believe

​​@@skepticalthesensible not religious but from my perspective, I've learned that Sin is just temptation. The freedom of choice was given so that you can be tempted, tried, and walk thru the fire or succumb to it. The 7 Sins work thru people, your best friend could be possessed by a sin and they may tempt you to follow them. Jesus was special because no matter what temptations were given, he stayed true to himself. I don't think you should follow anyone else's particular beliefs. You should create your own beliefs and let the experience of life edit and revise your beliefs. Don't let a mortal person or an invisible diety define you. Just a perspective, not advice

Romans 8 says that nothing separates us from God. That includes sin. The saying of sin separating is from God is a buss statement that was null in void after the death of Jesus who covered all sin for those who believe on him. These are totally questions that Christian’s who have believed for years still ask. I think they are great questions.

I think that both men suffer from a media that endlessly parades small parts of their thoughts and utterances, seemingly in pursuit of forwarding one political aim or another. I think these two should make this a regular happening. We could all gain something from it.

It is a great tool for people with ADHD!

Oh I watched him fiddling around with his pain I don't think he was writing anything down he was struggling to keep up with what Ben Shapiro was saying

@@deathmetalrob5563 I believe he was taking notes of the philosophers Ben mentioned at that moment. Perhaps to give their philosophies a read to better educate himself in something he realizes he lacks knowledge on. Later he might just be crossing out points he wanted to bring up in their discussion.

The way they are completely silent and clearly listening to each other so they can both make their points and counterpoints at times is wonderfully refreshing.

I agree 👍and I never much cared for Mr Brand as an actor. Listening to him now has been extremely helpful for me to understand some of the complex issues.

Russell is also highly diplomatic around the centrist comment by Ben at the top of the interview when he reveals that BBC is not a news source for him. Wow. That was revealing in a sad way.

@@morningglorify I can’t really see why you’d think it’s revealing in a sad way that Ben, an American, doesn’t listen to the BBC, the *British* broadcasting corporation. It’s a UK national broadcasting corporation, why would Ben listen to it for news specific to America and American politics? It’s good for getting the gist of other peoples opinions, but the stories they’re covering are almost certainly things Ben has already heard of/read up on, so I’m not sure why he would rely on a different countries national broadcasting corporation 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@timeforchange3786 Project Veritas is fake news. Like I said, Russel merely comments on news he obtained from the "mainstream media". Never heard of Andy Ngo. So Andy Ngo has reporters placed around the country and the globe? He has connections at the WH, wall street etc to report news?

Amazing that two people with differing points of view can openly chat and have a discussion. It's so refreshing. Love Russell brand

He wasn`t always a gem . He and Johnathen Ross had a radio show and they called (on air) Andrew Sachs (from Faulty Towers) and took the piss about Andrew`s granddaughter who had a bad drug problem and had turned to prostitution . How heartless was that ! Nothing funny about that at all but went for cheap dirty humor . How hurt Andrew a the grandfather would have been . Now Russel seems a changed man and I do like him as he is today but that story always sticks in my mind .

Wow

but he sure didn't treat Candice Owens the same way.. this just proves that Russell is a liberal, sexist, misogynist, beta male.. he treated Candice with such disrespect but in Candice's defense, she kicked the crap out of Russell in their debate, it was the best bitch slapping I've ever seen in a debate..

He’s awesome

It's awesome to see. I'm never against any celebrity's expressing their opinions they just have to be open to discussion. Or have logic behind their opinions.

Few people are willing to do this often

Facts. I just want to hear and be heard with respect governing the whole conversation. This really is great to watch. I agree and disagree with both of them on different issues. They both make me use my critical thinking skills and I love listening to both their shows. Civil, respectful dialog is what will move us forward in the political realm.

@@olivarionline yes... oh my God. Such good race that would be.

And now they are almost illegal

Ohh the good old nostalgia

Exactly! I'm in my 60s and I can still remember when people spoke rationally and respectfully while still being in complete disagreement with each other.

maybe coercion and domination were more subtle. Nowadays every body screams at everybody on all platforms, back then it was comply or we wont let you on the TV anymore.

this is not a debate, this is dialogue and discussion

John 15: 13 (no peace💘)

Totally agree.

Same first time I've heard someone debate Ben who managed to raise good points that i think should be delved into more.

Hear hear! 👍

Shapiro is not an intellectual. Thats honestly laughable

@@gunslingerSlade I agree.

@@gunslingerSlade strange username though

@Defenestrate and? He constantly gets destroyed by actual intellectuals and he only does well with unprepared college leftist....look how he handled the BBC interview

Agreed! He is one of the best interviewers in my opinion. I started listening to him after watching Rogan and Rogan drives me nuts with his interrupting its so dang rude!

Ikr - what a concept!

I found Russel because he interviewed Jordan Peterson. And I could tell that, at the beginning of the interview, he was prepared to deal with a truly awful person. And then, as he talked to Jordan, he came to the realization "He's a psychologist who wants to heal people." and his demeanor changed completely. The fact he was able to see that when everybody else just wanted to "gotcha" Jordan Peterson really struck me, and I've been interested in him ever since.

Isn't it refreshing to find a media company that has good ethics? Every other crap channel tells you what to think , OR ELSE!

Well intelligence is special and novel... megareetardism is all too common

It’s sad but very true!

@@Wildboy789789 come on, be civil now...

You’ll notice this if you ever argue politics in KZfaq comment threads. Everyone always tries to prove some malevolent intent in you even though you just have an opinion. Although, jokes on me for ever bothering engaging in politics in KZfaq comments lol.

My only advice for anyone fighting the culture war on the internet, no matter where you lie, be kind and assume good intent in those who disagree with you. Also understand that the intelligent people can always disagree and nobody’s stupid for not being just like me or anybody. If someone is unjust and malevolent they’ll expose themselves through dialogue eventually.

Thanks for viewing and contributing 🙏. I’ll share some beneficial knowledge 🧠 let’s converse right away with the above 📞…

Fully agree, amazing person helping people see the bigger picture

Gosh! Fantastic! I have never used fb, twitter etc thank goodness! And for the last 3 weeks, I have barley used my mobile phone nor looked on the internet and yes, it very liberating. Much love, light and respect to you ❤

I really go back and fourth with Ben Shapiro and honestly, my first reaction before watching this was “why have this guy on”, but you know what, thank you, that was really enlightening. I really enjoyed that. Thank you Russell, Thank you Ben, you both never fail to get me thinking.

?

Se la ve, my friend

everyone is the center of the/their universe never doubt that you don't exist

@zero viscouslove I couldn't even read that word vomit. Grammar is non existent

@@andycopland3179 At least some punctuation would be nice, sheesh😂

He’s bloody brilliant.

@Texas Tom yeah I didn’t agree with him on Brexit and a few years ago he acted like an arrogant idiot but he’s obviously rethought the way he wants to conduct himself and now actually tries to understand other peoples point of view which is good. I also try to do the same but it’s rare on both sides tbh

Brand is a true scholar. Shapiro is also, tho slightly more biased, imo

I think this is just right at the beginning of Russel growing out of the teenage rebellion communist phase he - like so many 90's teenagers - fell into. He is great now. He was always smart, good hearted funny guy. He just used to be blinded by leftism and all the sanctimonious righteousness and idiocy that goes with it.

I forwarded this interview (both parts) to my mother and father, both of whom are in their 70's. It was nice to see a couple of gentlemen who don't quite see eye-to-eye discuss things politely and with respect to each other. I imagine these guys get along quite well outside of the scope of a debate.

It's where the mainstream media has gone wrong. They tell you what to think and agree with.

40:31 Russells mind had started to wander just for a moment though haha XD "Sexualisation" :)

Yes. I’m a fan of both. Conversation goes further than the yelling I hear on Shawn Hannity. And I’m conservative.

@@tomquagliata9381 their model is emotional investment. It's a demon's tactic. Divest in all of it.

BINGO ! No one agrees on everything. Thank God. How boring.

1. u have low standards 2. gentle is female 3, one eye symbolism

Thank you friend 😊 Let’s talk on my number above ⬆️

and people like Shapiro are part of that problem. He is after all one of the pioneers of the “destroyed” style of political engagement. It’s also in his best interest money-wise to divide the left and right along culture war garbage.

It's something we can all strive to teach through our actions. It's easy to forget now a days.

@@Hylean_Way To be fair, the pioneering of the "destroyed" style you're pointing to is evidently a product of the soundbite content created by his following rather than his actual style. I don't think anyone would characterize his demeanor here to be adversarial or an attempt to shut down and 'destroy' his opposition.

@@partytilyoupuke321 Anyway, Hitchens kicked all their asses!

@@Hylean_Way Ben tends to be respectful with people like Sam Harris and Russell Brand because they approach the conversation with respect. When people are adversarial with him, he tends to be adversarial back. I have a tough time blaming Ben for being reactionary when the conflict is normally created by the other party. If I punch you in the face and you react by punching me...who is responsible for the violence problem, you or me?

And who is going to empty the bins and put food on the shelves I bet they have never ever did a days work in their life like most Treehuggers

There are millions of people like this. The problem is most of them already agree with each other, so they don't debate.

Good to see! He's a good lad is Russell.

Agreed 100%. I thought Russell was a narcissistic SOB, just a year ago. I was so wrong. One of my favorite public figures to listen to now. He’s very soothing for the soul when he’s speaking. His ability to show interest and ask pertinent questions, is just delightful. Even greater, is that it doesn’t feel like it’s fake.

Oh and I’m also very conservative. So this crossover has me almost giddy with excitement.

Did anybody see Ben Shapiro eyes change from 6:35 - 6:46. Put it in slow motion 0.25. They seem to change shape and color. I never thought reptile humans were real until I saw this into the video. Tell me what you guys think

@@thefreshjc1286 Reptilians hate TV. Must make them nervous 😁

I dont buy Shapiros admission though. Hes playing a role here.

@@hutchison3379 what role

@@michaeldehoyos6185 The agreeable conservative. Despite what hes said here, he's made it clear in his career that he's not actually interested in genuine discussions with those he opposes. He's playing here for ratings.

@@hutchison3379 hmm 🤔

@@hutchison3379 Why? Ben has gotten people on the opposing side on his podcast and he's a very quiet interviewer. He has also changed his mind in regards to the war on drugs. Just because he doesn't fit into an echo chamber doesn't mean he's incapable of changing. Maybe you should change?

⬆️⬆️ Thanks for watching message me , for more insight .,.

“Mickey Mouse on laughing gas” is Michael Savage’s description lol

Its funny because if they were having a convo in person they would both be talking fast

They both talk fast… I still listen at 1.5x barley have the time for 50 min convos

@@Mattb81 Russel is stoned goofy

@@thenlnlkn hes talking about ben simpleton

viewed as such by immature kidults?

@@boliusabol822 Especially those

He has grown beautifully, indeed.

Wise? Yikes. He's open minded, and not as naive as he used to be, but I think that's as far as I'd go. I loved seeing him take notes though. And I love that he doesn't pretend to know everything. Very rare these days.

I agree .. this was a fascinating discussion
