Russell Brand launched a verbal attack on former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who’s been pop star Katy Perry since the summer
Russell Brand took aim at his ex-wife Katy Perry’s new romance with Justin Trudeau during a US political event.
Brand launched a verbal attack on the former Canadian Prime Minister, who’s been with the pop star since the summer, over his policies. He also detailed his hatred of authority raged against the current Labour government. The former stand-up comic also praised Donald Trump’s actions and ‘performed near miracles” in The White House in 2025. He took swipes at Trump’s predecessor Joe Biden and made a joke about his son Hunter’s drug addictions.
The Brit added that he is ‘done with Hollywood”, but didn’t discuss being charged in the UK over a series of alleged sexual assaults. However, he declared that he will never “trust human authority.” The 50-year-old was given a mixed reception as he spoke onstage at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest event in Phoenix, run by the wife of assassinated activist Charlie Kirk.
Out of nowhere during his speech about politics and his faith, Brand started discussing Perry, 41, dating the politician. In the audience was his former mother-in-law, Mary Hudson.
After first reflecting on his love for his current wife, he then turned to his ex, saying: “I love my wife. Oh man, my ex-wife’s parents are here. They’re Christians, and I love them. I love Mary Perry. God bless you. Thank you for bringing the message to me.
‘I’ve got to say, though, look, Katie Perry, I was married to her. I love her still. And I’m glad that her mom’s in the room to see me say this. But look, I was okay with Orlando Bloom, but Justin Trudeau?
“Come on man. Don’t put me in a category with that guy. That globalist stooge.” He then changed the subject: “Alright, praise Jesus. Come on kids. God’s real,” But later he circled back to attack Trudeau. “I’ve got nothing but good things to say about Katy Perry or indeed anybody. Justin Trudeau on the other end. Oh man.
“Look, the biggest threat to our society is political leaders that have no authentic power, that seem to be operating on behalf of global bureaucracies that seem to get kind of auditioned into political power. We have it in my country, in France, we have it everywhere. We know these are not real political leaders or real political figures. You can see it by looking at them. They are the operatives of deeper interest, shall we say. Whether that’s the when or the who or something more occult that I don’t understand.
He went on: “I’d like to be positive and forgiving and loving is a message of forgiveness and loving that I need to share.” He then poked fun at Trudeau for being caught in a black face scandal: “And I will say he’s got a nice haircut, so black up less – hairdressers more.”
At the end of his speech, he raised the Canadian again: “I’ve been glib and flippant about Justin Trudeau; he’s a child of God. He deserves love, and he deserves respect, and he deserves happiness. And I pray for that for him. I pray for it for all of you. As long as we are picking favourites, we are not acting like our Lord, for he has no favourites.”
Earlier this year, Brand was charged with five counts of assault and rape stemming from allegations from four women.
He has denied the accusations, saying he “absolutely refutes” the claims. Brand never addressed his court cases, but expressed his loathing of authority.
He stated: “I don’t like the idea that we are meant to submit to human authority unless it’s backed by the Lord because I don’t trust human authority and I’ll never trust them.” He later yelled: “Yield to no human power. Don’t trust them.
“Get used to disobeying authority, man….I never like being told what to do. I’ve never trusted authority. It makes me a bad driver. I’ll tell you that because I think, alright, for example, stop signs or traffic lights, these are perfectly reasonable systems in the event of an evident contraflow of traffic.
“If there’s a red traffic light and there’s a car coming, he wins. I get the game, I get red.
“The colour of blood, the colour of fire, I get it. But in the event that it’s the middle of the night and there’s a red traffic light, I’m taking my freedom as an American because the world has been captured by evil and they’re training you to be obedient….break rules every day just to remind yourself, you can bow down to the only true authority, not a made up phony authorities (who) turn up here telling us what to do.”
