In this episode of the Conservative Lens Podcast, I sit down with my good friend and long-time supporter, Scott McInerny. Scott is a conservative commentator, entrepreneur, and father of 5. We talk about his journey to becoming a conservative voice within the conservative movement, his thoughts on the Trump administration, and his plans for the future. We also discuss the current state of conservative media and the future of conservative voices in politics, and how he plans to continue to be a voice for the cause of conservatism in the 21st century. I hope you enjoy this episode and tweet me if you have any thoughts or opinions on any of the topics covered in this episode. Tweet Me!

00:00:38.000Maybe one day we'll get it back if we want it.
00:00:41.000That sort of, you know, the American public becoming sheep is really scary to me.
00:00:45.000And so, you know, if I can be a voice to help slow that spread, I'm going to do it.
00:00:50.000And, you know, I guess for better or worse, I mean, I guess I've been able to build up a decent name for myself within conservatism, mostly not because I'm so good at anything.
00:00:58.000But mostly because our bench is so weak.
00:01:02.000There's just not willing, you know, people willing to actually engage, to take on the fight, to be called names by, you know, the lovely people at CNN. I just don't care.
00:01:12.000And it makes, you know, that sort of freedom, it's sort of nice, because you can just go after and say the things that need to be said.
00:01:18.000You know, we need more people on our side doing that.
00:01:20.000Yeah, well, let me ask, is that a hint?
00:01:22.000Do you think that there is potentially a Donald Trump Jr., maybe actual political office run in the future?
00:01:29.000I don't know. Listen, like I said, I'm sort of a junkie about it.
00:01:44.000You know, I'm like, you gotta want that.
00:01:46.000And by the way, there may be a time, I mean, at this stage of my life, you know, candidly, I think I can probably do a lot more for sort of the movement, not having the restrictions, you know, not having to deal with the nonsense, being able to, you know, actually say what I want without sort of Well, the decorum of being part of, you know, it's a little different.
00:02:05.000So, you know, candidly, I think I'm probably more effective right now outside.
00:02:09.000But again, you know, I've got the bug, so you never know what happens down the road.
00:02:12.000Well, yes, you are. And hopefully, you know, I hope and pray that they don't ban you or even what they've done with us.
00:02:16.000You know, we've been demonetized on YouTube, throttled on Facebook, removed from Shopify.
00:02:21.000Yeah. I know where you're going with this.
00:02:46.000I will create a national campaign, billboards, attack ads on the previous dog catcher, just so that you can use the Florida law to force them.
00:03:29.000I hit almost 30 million people that week.
00:03:32.000But, you know, so they're showing sort of my stuff to the people who want to see it, who may be following me, but basically making sure that no one outside of that bubble ever sees anything.
00:03:42.000And, you know, at least that's what it seems to be with me.
00:03:45.000I think, honestly, actually Facebook has been better with me than, you know, than Instagram.
00:03:48.000I think Twitter has become the worst of all of them.
00:03:50.000I mean, I just look at my analytics, the engagement of what I'm doing now, you know, and you and I both sort of know when I hit send or post, I know what something's going to do before.
00:04:00.000We're sort of good at this at this point.
00:04:02.000It's not like, okay, that one's filler.
00:04:06.000That one's going big. And you can see it.
00:04:07.000It's going, going, going. And then boom!
00:04:09.000It hits that ceiling and it's going nowhere from that moment on because they're shutting it down.
00:04:15.000And again, these things are quite apparent to me and we got to keep combating it.
00:04:19.000I mean, I'm still going to use the platforms because it's hard to walk away from.
00:04:23.000Sure. Nine million people and six million people and five million people, wherever it may be on each of the platforms.
00:04:28.000I mean, it's still important to get it out there.
00:04:30.000We just have to understand that we're not in a fair fight with the other side where, you know, some liberals get, you know, with three followers and two posts, you know, can get 50,000 likes because they're promoting it and pushing it and everyone's going to see it.
