Russell Brand, never one to shy away from the spotlight, eagerly promoted the event on Twitter. He described Carlson as an “anomaly” and an “outlier,” someone who didn’t conform to the usual mainstream rhetoric. Brand even predicted that Carlson would thrive in the independent news space, possibly garnering more influence than ever before.
"What you have to accept is Tucker Carlson was out of step with the cadence of ordinary mainstream rhetoric. That's why I predict he'll find himself in an independent news space now, perhaps with more power than ever…"

Brand’s enthusiasm stems from his belief that our current systems of government, media, and finance are crumbling under the weight of technological advancements and increased communication power. He argues that with the ability to collectively and democratically communicate, there’s no need for the centralized power structures that have dominated for the past century.
Brand also cautioned the mainstream media against rejoicing too soon over Carlson’s departure from Fox News. He suggested that it could be the beginning of the end for the mainstream itself. Intriguing, isn’t it?
Since leaving Fox News, Tucker Carlson has been circumventing the control of corporate media by sharing his thoughts directly on Twitter. During his time at Fox News, Carlson gained notoriety for fearlessly tackling controversial topics that others were too afraid to touch. But his bravery came with consequences, as big tech platforms, often acting at the behest of the government, censored and suppressed his content, flagrantly violating his right to free speech protected by the 1st Amendment.
One example of this censorship occurred when Carlson expressed skepticism about the COVID-19 vaccine. He innocently asked a few questions about its safety and effectiveness, only to have members of Biden’s White House pressure Facebook to censor and demote his content. It’s concerning to think that merely questioning the vaccine led to such swift suppression.
But that’s the world we live in today. Those who dare to challenge the narrative are silenced, while the mainstream media celebrates their departure. It’s a dangerous precedent that threatens free speech and honest discussion. Thankfully, Tucker Carlson remains undeterred, continuing to champion alternative viewpoints and shedding light on important issues. As he takes the stage on Rumble today, we can only hope that his voice will reverberate far and wide, shaking up the status quo and reminding us all of the importance of free expression.
