Watch Russell Brand Say Voting Is Pointless To Seth Meyers, Takes Shots At Bill O'Reilly And Why He Was Kicked Out Of Fox News [WATCH]

Continuing his charm offensive in the USA, Russell Brand last night followed his spot on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon with an appearance on The Late Show with Seth Meyers, and unsurprisingly from the noted activist and wannabe-revolutionary, things got a little political. The actor, comedian and former Mr Katy Perry, whose new book is called Revolution, took on the concept of democratic elections and voting, the idea of writing books for kids, and saved some shots for Fox News and Bill O'Reilly.

After explaining his concept of The Trews '(True News' - as Brand says, "a true interpretation of the news from a man who's barely read it") Brand tackles Fox News, just days after he was was kicked out the Fox building in Manhattan. 

"They don't want me in there at Fox News, they asked me to go outside... they said I could stay, but I would be arrested," explains Brand of his recent attempt to head into Fox headquarters.  

The actor goes on to point out hat Bill O'Reilly "seems like he's in constant negotiation with hemorrhoids".

Brand would later tell the Huffington Post in a HuffLive interview: "Fox is a contemporary myth, peddling an contemporary story that's their version of reality. It's incredibly reductive and simplistic and predicates on the worst aspects of our nature. It's easy to make us frightened, it's easy to stimulate desire in us. That's why I think I connect so strongly with that material. I'm a person that, I get frightened. I'm full of desire. Please, don't make it worse, Fox News ... please give me the nuance."

Getting more political, Brand tackles the notion of American democracy and voting, after coming under fire from Bill Maher for his comments in Revolution, saying "every election in American history has been won by the party with the most money to campaign with". 

"That means," he goes on, "don't bother to have the election, just ask 'which one of you two has got the most money', the person that puts their hand up, go 'you can be in charge then'. That's what happens anyway." 

As for his children's book, Brand says, "I thought it would be good to communicate  simultaneously with adults and children."

The point being, he says, "folklores contain within them codes so that people can connect to one another in different ways. so we can identify with ourselves and one another differently. Not just in individualistic, materialistic, self-seeking, self-serving narcissistic - which is my favored method - but as spiritual beings, here, on a divine quest in infinite space. I thought 'put it in a children's book, the kids'll love it'."

The chat with Meyers about writing a kid's book actually proves an interesting addendum to Brand's points on student debt and education made in the Trews

What do you think; has Russell Brand got a point about money and politics? Does his general demeanor help or hurt his arguments? Should more celebrities use their fame as a political platform?
