He pulled a Jimmy Dore style classic

[@TheTexasLeftist]

He sure did. I still haven’t forgotten Jimmy’s “if you’re anti war you would vote Trump” comment.

[@mykotron]

Glad Kyle admits this... that people saw it coming and he didn't. I applaud him for that. It's a bit similar to how Kyle and Krystal both apologized for Tulsi for so long... or downplayed what Trump would do and then the attempted insurrection at first... oh and somehow Kyle didn't see who Jordan Peterson was all along. I just can't understand it. It was so obvious that Peterson was just saying what he could to see what he could get away with. He was NEVER just a self help guy. He always had this agenda and it was clear as day. Kyle could really stand to take a couple notes from David Pakman... although I do prefer Secular Talk.

Didn’t he turn MAGA like 2 years ago?

[@gordonstrong5232]

Yeah russell has been low key throating maga for a couple of years now, but this is his most explicit advocacy.

[@thehellyousay]

went antivax a few years back, then all his sexual predations began to get exposed, now he's full-on red hat.

[@StinkCabbage]

Longer than that...started with COVID....he followed the Jimmy Dore arc

[@oddfellow8366]

He kept pretending he was middle of the road, slightly left leaning for a while until he realized that telling his audience what they want to hear is more profitable than speaking truths. As usual, the MAGA crowd blindly sends money to whoever tells them what they want to hear, and he is cashing in while he can.

[@StormySnyder-ue4kr]

I added this comment to the Vanguard segment but should put it as well: I must say, I'm very glad that Krystal and Kyle stayed the course after Bernie and continued their principaled journey regardless of viewership.... I was a faitherful watcher of BP and Secular Talk all through the Bernie era... but was devastated and took time away from politics. As soon as Biden dropped out, I started getting interested again. *I can't tell you how glad I was to see Kyle and Krystal still actively talking and with the same shows!! So I have my podcast addiction back. 😆 Thank you to Krystal, Kyle, and also David Doel for staying the course!! Side note: I was SO VERY happy to see Krystal and Kyle get married! 🎉❤

[@mombo967]

It's funny how accusations of sexual assault turn you republican.

[@dennisbohner6876]

Russell wasn't very funny as a comedian. He isn't better as a political pundit. I always thought he was a jerk.

[@matt94alexander32]

I hate Brand’s speaking style. He uses big words for no reason and it is impossible to follow what he is babbling on about at times.

[@redmed10]

He's Jordan Peterson on speed.

classic sign of a manipulator, demagogue. Also, see Jordan Peterson

[@markcarey67]

Kyle called it

[@Chronix-]

The sexual assault allegations caused all of his leftists to leave, which left him with nothing but fascists in the audience. So naturally... Talk hosts rarely change opinions because they want to.

[@BrianYochem]

Cuz dems don't even realize that someone is innocent until proven guilty. I could accuse you of something

[@JBtakes]

Love you Kyle but “Heat Protection Laws” are ridiculous and not very pro-freedom IMO

Well we all knew it was coming for a while. Like anyone coming out, we should be respectf- lol sorry no. F*** Russell Brand xD

And you will still tell people to vote for Biden at election time Kyle. So you're no better.

when is kyle going to dedicate a 10+ minute video on his hero joe rogan worshiping trump?

[@nathanjones5457]

When Russell Brand commits to supporting Trump, he's basically conceding his career as a popular TV entertainer or stand up comedian is over.

[@commodoor6549]

In Russell Brand's defense he is a loon.
