The problem isn't was he's saying -- we all say a lot of what he says. The problem is how big he has gotten. They ignored Alex Jones until he got to a certain size. Brand has many millions of followers and they are feeling threatened by him.

As Jimmy Dore says, the minute they see him as a serious threat (which is the minute they decide he really is one based on his viewership) they will cut him off and cancel him as well.

Very true, good points about his popularity. I had forgotten that since I don't watch him.

I think your theory is the correct one.

He talks very fast and uses 20 words where five would do. But, I appreciate that he is at least trying to reach people that others can't.

And maybe that was his sin. The size of his reach and (maybe more importantly) the breadth. He has 6.6 M followers on the 'tube, but Rogan has 11M on Spotify. It might be less what he did then that they found a vulnerability and are exploiting it as a warning to others.

wow, I did not know he had that big of a reach. I can see why they’d consider him a threat if he was connecting to that many people. Now they’re going to attempt to completely destroy him and separate him from his audience. It will be interesting to see if the audience stands by him throughout the whole ordeal.

He's a white male. What other reasons do liberals and commies need?

Is he white? He looked sort of puerto rican to me.

He veered into Covid controversy and also did shows with Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson and we all know they are Hitler just like Trump.

But hasn't he been doing that for a while? This seems like something more recent than the stuff you listed.

You are right. He has been doing it for a while. I, like you, got kind of tired of him and had too many others to follow so I haven’t listened in months. Sounds like he’s going to get MeTooed. Feel sorry for that if false. As you said though, entertainment industry full of pervs.
