Russell Brand has stirred up controversy with his latest comments that he is "open-minded" to 9/11 conspiracy theories.
During a heated debate on BBC NewsNight, the comedian went on a political rant which touched on the attacks that took down New York City's World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.
"I think it is interesting at this time when we have so little trust in our political figures, where ordinary people have so little trust in their media, that we have to remain open-minded to any kind of possibility," Brand, who is promoting his new book Revolution, said. "What I do think is very interesting is the relationship that the Bush family have had for a long time with the bin Laden family."
