Russell brand and Alex Baldwin were on the Max Keiser program discussing inequality and how the political system is broken. These two great leftists declared the pressing problem in the West and specifically the Anglo-Englishing speaking economic world is how there are illusions of laws but they are not carried out against those with the tremendous resources of wealth. Max and Alec called out the medias role in ignoring these issues and how this is one of the main problems they could fix overnight if given a way. Russell then went on to say how he very much enjoyed giving a kiss to Baldwin on screen in one of their movies but that really had nothing to do with this great discussion on economics and the problems facing everyone in society.
Baldwin and Brand seemed to be like a couple of ex having a spat and going to one another in this debate that could of lasted longer but in the usual Max Keiser format was a disappointing twenty minutes. Max needs to demand to RT that when he has guests of the caliber of these two well know actors that it would make more sense to go full length programming. A struggling cable outlet like RT could of made some more news with a controversial comments from this group much like the national news that Bill Maher-Ben Affleck debate from a few weeks back. I was very disappointed in this debate has more intelligent things could of been stated without the flirtatious and grammar debates that were mainly part of this discussion on important topics that need to get out in the public sphere.
