| Guilty until proven innocent. | |
| Certainly not a world that I would want to live in. | |
| It's unimaginable to think that you are considered guilty if somebody makes an allegation against you. | |
| Oh, you stole from me. Guilty. | |
| Okay, we're going to treat you like you're guilty. | |
| A person that is not welcome anywhere. | |
| And we're talking about this, obviously, because of Russell Brand. | |
| A few days ago we brought you up to speed on the fact that YouTube completely demonetized | |
| him, which is something that I disagree with, of course, because we live in America and | |
| it is innocent until proven guilty. | |
| Well now we can sort of understand why this is, that platforms are engaging in demonetization, | |
| because it turns out that the UK government is getting involved. | |
| Now that is very strange, just because there is a TV special and women come forward and | |
| they make allegations against you. | |
| And by the way, I want to be very clear that I have already said that I think these allegations | |
| should be explored further. | |
| I am not sitting here saying that Russell Brand is necessarily innocent, but I am saying | |
| that he is innocent until proven guilty. | |
| It turns out that the House of Commons, okay, the government in the United Kingdom, is now | |
| writing letters to various platforms regarding whether or not Russell Brand is monetized. | |
| They want him to be demonetized. | |
| They want to make sure that he is no longer able to make money. | |
| This is a letter that was written from the House of Commons. | |
| The member of Parliament named Dame Carolyn Dinanage And it was addressed to TikTok on September 19th, 2023. | |
| They wrote, The culture, media, and sports is raising questions with the broadcasters who previously employed Mr. | |
| Brand or production companies who employed him to examine both the culture of the industry in the past and whether that culture still prevails today. | |
| Although Mr. Brand no longer appears on television, he now has a follower base on social media, including on TikTok, where this weekend he republished his preemptive response to the accusations made against him by the Sunday Times and We're good to go. | |
| We'll be grateful if you could confirm whether Mr. | |
| Brand is able to monetize his TikTok posts, including his videos relating to the serious accusations against him, and what the platform is doing to ensure that creators are not able to use the platform to undermine the welfare of victims of inappropriate and potentially illegal behavior. | |
| So this means that the government has deemed that news channels, the media has the power to decide who are victims and who are aggressors, not the court. | |
| No, they are saying it is the court of public opinion. | |
| And since the media has done this investigative report with accusations, we have now deemed these people victims and we have deemed that Russell Brand is the aggressor. | |
| And he is therefore deemed guilty in our eyes. | |
| And we wanted to know whether or not he is able to monetize content, whether or not he is able to earn a living to feed his family. | |
| Because we don't think that's acceptable. | |
| That's putting pressure directly on TikTok to respond. | |
| And TikTok wasn't the only one who received a letter. | |
| I'll read just pieces of this. | |
| Just a few excerpts. | |
| This is a letter that was addressed to Rumble. | |
| Pretty much the same nature, coming from the same Dame Caroline Dinenage, who is the Member of Parliament. | |
| She says, His preemptive response to the accusations made against him by the Sunday Times and Channel 4 dispatches. | |
| While we recognize that Rumble is not the creator of the content published, we are concerned that he may be able to profit from his content on the platform. | |
| We would be grateful if you could confirm whether or not Mr. | |
| Bren is able to monetize his content. | |
| What the hell is going on? | |
| What the hell is going on? | |
| When has this ever happened in the history of content creators? | |
| As I said before, days ago, there are people that have quite literally been convicted of serious crimes who are allowed to have YouTube channels. | |
| There are people that have definitely been accused of serious crimes. | |
| I mentioned to you before that Cardi B had a video in which she admitted that she used to drug and rob men. | |
| And yes, this went viral in the media. | |
| And she never backed down from it. | |
| She never said, oh, that wasn't true or I misspoke. | |
| Rather, she doubled down and said, this is how you don't understand how I had to live. | |
| This is thug life. Okay, whatever. | |
| Cardi B is a monetized voice on media platforms. | |
| Have you ever heard the government issuing a letter saying that Cardi B, and by the way, she is the one that freely admitted she did this, okay? | |
| Could you imagine if Russell Brand himself made a video and said, I did this to people, I committed this crime? | |
| He didn't do that. | |
| Other people are making allegations, and yes, as I said, these allegations should be explored, not in the court of public opinion, but rather in a real court with a judge and a jury. | |
| What is going on here? This is why people are looking at this and saying this is not a conspiracy. | |
| There is a concerted effort to silence Russell Brand and it now goes so far up that the government is getting involved. | |
| This is not a world that you want to live in, trust me. | |
| You do not want to live in a world that is guilty until proven innocent. | |
| So whether or not you believe that the allegations against Russell Brand are credible, and they | |
| may be, you should be outraged that the government is trying to ensure that he can't make a single | |
| dollar of profit. | |
| And we know the reasons for that. | |
| It's because Russell Brand has converted. | |
| We know that he is now sober. | |
| We know that he is now family-oriented. | |
| We know that he is no longer somebody that Hollywood can control. | |
| And when you are within government control, it typically means that you are parroting leftist talking points. | |
| And this is why they protect people. | |
| They protect people that they know who are rapists. | |
| They protect people who they know are addicted to drugs. | |
| They're in rehab. | |
| They have spokespeople. | |
| They never, this stuff never gets out about any of these people in Hollywood. | |
| As long as they say the right things publicly, they will protect them. | |
| The media will protect them. | |
| But when they step out of those bounds, as Russell Brand has done, the media and now | |
| the government in lockstep will put forth an effort to ruin your life. | |
| Again, do not miss this story. | |
| Use your platforms. | |
| Make sure you express how outraged you are and you should be. | |
| You can imagine that if something like this can happen to Russell Brand, well then the average person stands absolutely no chance. | |
| If you like this video, you are going to like the full episode even better. |
