Latest / Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show! / British MP Tries To Demonitize RUSSELL BRAND On Rumble
Transcript
- 0:00So Russell Brand has been accused of serious charges, not in a court of
- 0:04law, but in the court of public opinion, not by a prosecutor,
- 0:09but by three media organizations. Now, obviously a story like this is going
- 0:14to get a lot of clicks. I can't speculate on any other reasons they
- 0:18might have to do. This brought to you by Fizer, but I think
- 0:22it's fairly safe to say that Russell Brand has gotten on the wrong side of
- 0:25the establishment. So right now, Russell Brand is in the midst of a
- 0:30full on cancelation campaign. YouTube has demonetized him. Every TV show he's ever
- 0:35appeared on has been pulled. An apparent collusion between media and big tech.
- 0:41It's a shoot first, ask questions later tactic, and we've all seen it
- 0:45before. Here's what a spokesperson for YouTube said. We have suspended monetization on
- 0:51Russell Brand's channel for violating our creator responsibility policy. If a creator's off platform
- 0:58behavior harms our user, employees, or ecosystem, we take action to protect
- 1:03the community. Except you don't know that he's actually done anything. These are
- 1:08unproven allegations, but in any case, Sam, we've already established well the
- 1:14media is involved in this big tech is on the case. What's the missing
- 1:17piece, Well, there's actually two missing pieces. And as for legacy media
- 1:23and big tech attack campaigns, three is never a crowd. And now you've
- 1:26got the British government itself making the trifecta. But what's the second missing piece,
- 1:33Well that's Rumble. That's the rapidly growing video platform that has gained a
- 1:38lot of prominence by giving a platform and fair treatment to the distance run off
- 1:44by YouTube, usually at legacy media's urging. And now the UK government has
- 1:49apparently gotten in on the game. Two. And I'll just read you this
- 1:52letter that was received by Chris Pavlovsky, who was the chief executive officer for
- 1:57Rumbull and Russell Brand has one point four one million followers on Rumble. Now
- 2:02I'm also on Rumble and feel free to follow me there. In fact,
- 2:06please do. But anyway, that's a sizable audience there and it is monetized.
- 2:12But anyway, the CEO of Rumble received this letter from Culture, Media
- 2:16and Sport Committee, House of Commons, London. It says, Dear Chris,
- 2:22I am writing concerning the serious allegations regarding Russell Brand in the context of
- 2:28his being a content provider on rumbull with more than one point four million followers.
- 2:34The Culture, Media and Sport Committee is raising questions with the broadcasters and
- 2:38production companies who previously employed mister Brand to examine both the culture of the industry
- 2:45in the past and whether that culture still prevails today. And obviously, what
- 2:51she's at referring to there is Russell Brand being basically completely canceled off of British
- 2:57television because of the culture of the industry in the past and whether that culture
- 3:04still prevails today. What does that mean exactly? I think it's just sufficiently
- 3:07vague that you could justify canceling anything. Maybe that's the point, but anyway,
- 3:13let's continue. However, we are looking at his use of social media,
- 3:17including on Rumble, where he issued his preemptive response to the accusations made
- 3:23against him by The Sunday Times and Channel four's dispatches. While we recognize that
- 3:29Rumble is not the creator of the content published by mister Brand, we are
- 3:32concerned that he may be able to profit from his content on the platform.
- 3:38They are concerned that he may be able to profit from his content on the
- 3:45platform. The man who has not been charged with anything. He has not
- 3:50been charged with a crime. This letter is seems to be implying that it
- 3:54doesn't matter. In fact, it's not implying it, it's saying it doesn't
- 3:59matter. He's accused. That's good enough as guilty for us. But anyway,
- 4:03let's continue. We would be grateful if you could confirm whether mister Brand
- 4:08is able to monetize his content, including his videos, relating to these serious
- 4:14accusations against him. If so, we would like to know whether Rumball intends
- 4:18to join YouTube and suspending mister Brand's ability to earn money on the platform.
- 4:25We would also like to know what Rumball is doing to ensure that creators are
- 4:28not able to use the platform to undermine the welfare of victims of inappropriate and
- 4:33potentially illegal behavior. Yours sincerely, Dame Dame Caroline Denonaj or Dinaj. I
- 4:44don't know. All I know is that she's an MP. But you know
- 4:47what's a bit surprising about this person. But this MP, this is a
- 4:51British Conservative Party politician. A judging from this letter, this may as well
- 4:57be a gender studies professor. This is it's just shocking, it's absolutely shocking.
- 5:01This person should be drummed out of the party. If the Conservatives are
- 5:06this woke, what hope is there? I mean, another ten years,
- 5:10you can just call England airstrip one and just be done with it now.
- 5:15Chris Pavlovsky, the CEO of Rumble, has responded. He said the attacks
- 5:18on Rumble are relentless from all angles and accelerating. Having the support of the
- 5:25people to defend what's right constitutional values is all I need to keep taking the
- 5:30punches and moving forward. This makes me think that Russell Brand isn't the only
- 5:34target in this. Obviously Rumble as well. There's too much free speech,
- 5:39too much for the British Conservative Party, it looks like so anyway, here's
- 5:43Rumble's response to that letter. Today, we received an extremely disturbing letter from
- 5:48a committee chair in the UK Parliament. While Rumble obviously deplores sexual assault,
- 5:56rape and all serious crimes and believes that both alleged victims and the accused are
- 6:01entitled to a full and serious investigation, it is vital to note that recent
- 6:06allegations against Russell Brand have nothing to do with content on Rumbo's platform. Just
- 6:13yesterday, YouTube announced that based solely on these media accusations, it was barring
- 6:18mister brand from monetizing his video content. Rumbo stands for very different values.
- 6:25We have devoted ourselves to the vital cause of defending a free Internet, meaning
- 6:30an Internet where no one arbitrarily dictates which ideas can or cannot be heard,
- 6:36or which citizens may or may not be entitled to a platform, and arbitrary
- 6:43is the key word there. We regard it as deeply inappropriate and dangerous that
- 6:47the UK Parliament would attempt to control who is allowed to speak on our platform,
- 6:54or to earn a living from doing so. Singling out an individual and
- 6:58demanding his ban is even more disturbing given the absence of any connection between the
- 7:03allegations and his content on Rumble. We don't agree with the behavior of many
- 7:09Rumble creators, but we refuse to penalize them for actions that have nothing to
- 7:14do with our platform. Although it may be politically and socially easier for Rumble
- 7:19to join a cancel culture mob, doing so would be a violation of our
- 7:25company's values and mission. We emphatically reject the UK Parliament's demands. This is
- 7:30probably just the first step in an attempt to attack and d platform Rumble itself
- 7:39from the UK. And you know, there's a reason why all of these
- 7:42attacks on dissidents always seem coordinated, and it's because they always look really coordinated.
- 7:48Brought to you by Fiser and we'll just finish this off with them.
- 7:54A tweet from Carl Benjamin from Low Deceaters. This is unbelievable. A British
- 7:59MP is actively trying to get Russell brand demonetized on Rumble. How could she
- 8:05think that this is in any way appropriate. MPs should not be attempting to
- 8:09get private citizens demonetized or debanked, even if they are convicted of crimes.
- 8:16Again, in this case, there's not even any charges. And again this
- 8:20is legacy media, this is big tech, and this is the British government
- 8:26itself. All. Some might say colluding towards a goal, and you can
- 8:31go ahead and call me a conspiracy theorist, but tam, I don't think
- 8:35the goal they're pursuing is though on they're telling us they're pursuing. Anyway,
- 8:39Please subscribe, like and share sharing really helps me out. I thank you
- 8:43for that. I will see you next time.
