How Russell Brand Became the New Alex Jones ft. Matt Browne of Decoding Gurus
Channel: The Rewired Soul
Date: 2022-08-24

Russell Brand is an actor and comedian who is also in recovery from addiction. He became an author and the host of the Under the Skin podcast where he discussed social issues and personal well-being, but he's made a major shift. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, he's gained a right-wing viewership by peddling conspiracy theories about vaccines and The Great Reset while pandering and discussing politics. He does this while making pro-Trump and anti-Dr. Fauci and anti-Pfizer videos because he knows it'll get the views.

Most recently, he started whitewashing Alex Jones, and it's time to discuss how Russell Brand became addicted to status.
