00:01:52.000We have 10,000 concurrents on Rumble, and depends on when we're broadcasting, but sometimes, Chris, we have the number one stream on Rumble, and tonight we're going to do some big numbers.
00:02:13.000So I started Rumble back in 2013 on the premise of helping the small creators.
00:02:19.000We started to notice that the incumbent platforms like YouTube were starting to really preference their big channels, big influencers, big corporations.
00:02:29.000So we came in and said, hey, we're going to start helping the small creators.
00:02:50.000An elected member of Congress in the United States that's sitting, I think at the time, as the chairman of the House Intel Committee only had 10,000 subscribers on YouTube, but comes to Rumble and picks up 200 to 300,000 in only a few months.
00:03:05.000So once that happened, the floodgates opened up.
00:03:55.000And I mean, again, the stock is up like 75% in the last couple of days, which is just amazing, which is a big deal, everybody, because the way that traditionally, you know, SPACs have, there's a lot, there's a technical thing, D-SPAC, and people sell.
00:04:07.000And, you know, you're going down, going down.
00:04:09.000But the fact that you've been able to really go up is to defy gravity against the short sellers in particular.
00:04:14.000There were a lot of these short sellers and they have to cover right now and they're not very happy.
00:04:18.000So what's the big announcement, Chris?
00:04:19.000What's been going on the last couple of days?
00:04:21.000You guys are wanting more volume being traded on the Rumble stock than Apple and Amazon.
00:04:28.000So yesterday we announced, yesterday morning, we announced that Barstool Sports, all their podcasts, all their content's coming to Rumble, including Dave Portnoy.
00:04:38.000And we also announced it's a wide-ranging partnership that's going to have them help us bring brand advertisers to our platform and also utilize our cloud services.
00:04:48.000So it's very comprehensive and it's very important to us.
00:04:52.000I was just on Fortnite's show earlier this morning.
00:04:54.000But the best part about this deal, in my opinion, and I think the biggest part is Dave didn't come to us asking for a ton of money.
00:05:04.000He came to us wanting more equity than he did cash, like majority equity than he did cash.
00:05:11.000So having Dave have equity into Rumble and really getting behind Rumble and believing in the long-term vision of this platform was one of the most important things for me.
00:05:21.000And I'm just super proud to have Barstool Sports on Rumble now, have Dave and Barstool kind of getting behind Rumble.
00:05:29.000It's the perfect partner and the partner that we need as we're kind of expanding Rumble Sports and getting into different audiences and different demographics.
00:06:41.000So, you know, in fact, short sellers, in a way, kind of drive me and push me forward in a lot of ways because they're taking bets against me.
00:06:50.000If they're going to take bets against our 50 million, 58 million active users I've reported in the last quarter that we reported, that's their prerogative.
00:06:59.000But for me, people, when people do things like that, it only drives me further.
00:07:25.000And just so everyone understands the way that short selling works, for those of you that are uninitiated, you probably live a nicer life than I do because I look at this stuff, unfortunately, is you're betting for the stock to go down.
00:07:34.000But if the stock goes up, you have to do something called cover.
00:07:38.000And so every time the stock goes up, a short becomes less and less valuable.
00:07:42.000So the fact that they were shorting right when it was at like 380 a share, and now that it is at 642 a share, they're not doing so well.
00:08:11.000I will try my best to prove them wrong and I will fight harder than anyone else out there.
00:08:16.000And I just want to broaden this a little bit, everybody.
00:08:18.000We've been bragging on Rumble for quite some time that Rumble is the vessel for free speech.
00:08:25.000And so when I started to see these shorts, I was a little bit nervous, not for the long-term viability of the company, but it could make the liquidity issues and it could make just confidence and all this.
00:08:34.000And they were trying to short the free speech movement.
00:09:28.000And I think that creates the best content and creates the best video platform and streaming platform.
00:09:35.000In addition to that, we're now at a stage where we're starting to innovate.
00:09:39.000We just launched the Rumble Studio today, and I think that's going to change the live streaming game in a massive way.
00:09:45.000So typically, you know, live streams and videos make money from commercials.
00:09:49.000But what we're going to be introducing is the ability for endorsements and sponsorships to be able to bid on live streams in real time for creators.
00:10:00.000So think of you going live and a notification pops up from a huge brand or any brand out there and says, hey, read this for $500.
00:10:08.000You read it as a live streamer and a creator and that money goes straight into your account.
00:10:19.000And it's our first move at really innovating and changing the live stream and video game.
00:10:23.000On the flip side, we also have built our infrastructure.
00:10:27.000And we are going to be, we're anticipating to launch the Rumble Cloud by the end of this quarter, which is going to compete directly with Amazon AWS.
00:10:35.000So I'm like super excited for the prospects of this business, both on the video side and the cloud side.
00:10:41.000And I can't wait to all these products roll out by the end of the quarter.
00:10:44.000I just, I have to do this because of all the laws.
00:11:12.000If you're looking for a reliable and clear way to have voice and text communication to any number from anywhere in the world, you need a satellite phone.
00:11:20.000And no one does it better than the satellite phone store.
00:11:30.000No one can listen in on your phone calls.
00:11:32.000And the most secure way to communicate is from satellite phone to satellite phone.
00:11:36.000Even the US military uses satellite phones and you'll never get an advertisement from any other company because everything you do with the satellite phone will be 100% private.
00:11:44.000In America this year, only 5% of the island in Maui burned, but 95% of the island lost its power and sell service.
00:11:50.000Even the 911 emergency service was down because they had no access to satellite communication backup.
00:14:36.000President Trump, President Trump, what's your message?
00:14:38.000What's your message to the American people on the injustice that you're experiencing and the big concern that the election they try to steal it again in 2024?
00:17:13.000I think we have the worst border anywhere in the world.
00:17:15.000I don't think any country, a third world country, never had a border like this.
00:17:19.000For people that might not have their mind made up tonight or today going to those polls, they might be deciding between you and Nikki Healy.
00:17:24.000So what would you want to tell those voters?
00:17:26.000Look, if they want a great country, if they want a country where we say, make America great again, there's nothing like make America great again.
00:18:36.000Look, if you are Gen Z or millennial, you have a little bit of money put aside, it might be the best opportunity to go to andrewandodd.com and buy a home.
00:19:17.000Walk us through the invasion clause and how we have reached a point where the U.S. Supreme Court is siding with the American government that says we shall have no border.
00:19:28.000Yeah, so the invasion clause or self-defense clause is in the very last paragraph of Article 1.
00:19:36.000And I'd urge the people watching and listening to you and I to pull up the Constitution, read it yourself.
00:19:42.000Article 1, Section 10, there are three paragraphs.
00:20:15.000But it's not quite that simple, Charlie, because Texas to this day is reluctant to fully embrace the self-defense rights that it retained as a state under Article 1, Section 10.
00:20:30.000Now, I get that people are uncomfortable with the notion of using war powers.
00:20:35.000That doesn't mean rolling tanks and planes into Mexico and bombing bridges.
00:20:40.000It simply means using those powers, in this case, at a very low level of force.
00:20:46.000You just stop people and physically bring them back and put them into Mexico.
00:20:51.000Texas has so far refused to put people back into Mexico.
00:20:55.000They're trying to block people from getting in.
00:20:57.000But until they do that and illegal invaders know they can't get into Texas, then they will keep coming to Texas, especially with a federal government that's doing everything that can to break them in.
00:21:11.000So I was disappointed to see the Supreme Court ruling.
00:21:14.000I will tell you, as you know, I'm a senior fellow at the Center for Renewing America.
00:21:20.000We filed an amicus brief today in the underlying Fifth Circuit case that is still addressing this question.
00:21:30.000There was no opinion issued by the Supreme Court yesterday.
00:21:35.000They simply, so effectively, they just said, no, we're lifting the ban on the federal government taking action, in this case, cutting razor wire, until the case is heard.
00:21:51.000To say we're not dead yet, it would be an understatement.
00:21:56.000But now is the time for Texas to really step up and embrace its constitutional authority to defend itself.
00:22:15.000Well, so yesterday just allows the Border Patrol to cut razor wire.
00:22:20.000It doesn't say anything about Texas authorities under the authority of the governor.
00:22:24.000He's the commander in chief of that state's forces returning people who are invading that country back to Mexico.
00:22:32.000The only exception to what I'm saying is that the 12 land ports of entry, these are the 12 places on the Texas-Mexico border that you can legally cross into the United States from Mexico.
00:22:48.000Other than those 12 spots, Texas ought to block people from entering anywhere else.
00:22:56.000And if they do, Texas, without asking permission of Congress or the federal government, should take them back into Mexico.
00:23:04.000Texas owns boats, take them back across, drop them off.
00:23:08.000Once this happens reliably, even Mexico will get into the game of stopping people from coming because they're not going to end up in the United States.
00:23:30.000Has there ever been a point in American history where the federal government actively undermines what is obviously in the immediate interest of the country and then goes to court to defend it?
00:23:42.000I'm failing to find any example in the last century where it's something this grotesque.
00:24:29.000Now, Border Patrol agents believe they should execute their mission.
00:24:34.000ICE agents believe they should deport people who are here illegally.
00:24:39.000And their own administration is stopping them from doing their job and performing their mission.
00:24:45.000Charlie, one of the things that hasn't been reported on very much, and I encountered it on Christmas Day of all things, is the higher suicide rates in the Border Patrol because of how low their morale is.
00:25:00.000I had two CBP employees come up to me in church on Christmas to tell me about this and to lament it.
00:25:08.000And I told them that I and others are praying for them and for their colleagues.
00:25:13.000These are folks who want to protect you and me and America, and they're being stopped from doing that by Joe Biden and Alejandro Mayorkas.
00:25:22.000And so let's get together a battle plan.
00:25:25.000One of the ways that I read the Amy Coney Barrett disappointment decision is the presidency matters more than ever before.
00:25:32.000And honestly, I don't want it that way.
00:25:35.000I don't want it where the entire civilization is dependent on the outcome of a presidential election because the will of the people is actually telling us, hey, we want red state AGs and red state legislature.
00:25:45.000So it's just, you shouldn't have just an executive one election that determines something so broadly.
00:25:52.000So I think that's really upsetting, honestly.
00:25:55.000And just like, can you comment on that?
00:25:57.000The civilization shouldn't survive or die based on who wins the Electoral College.
00:26:02.000So, Charlie, that's a very deep observation.
00:26:07.000Years ago, when I was Attorney General of Virginia, my communications director, Brian Gottstein, who's now at the Heritage Foundation, he made a really good point to me.
00:26:19.000He said, look, you know, we talk about how people fight over these government races like it's life and death because it is.
00:26:31.000Well, so there's a solution, and that is to strip government.
00:26:34.000Of course, this will have to happen by elected officials, of much of its power.
00:26:38.000A balanced budget requirement would do a lot of this because it would reduce the power of the government.
00:26:44.000There wouldn't be as much to fight over.
00:26:47.000We would be left to ourselves as Americans, and we do better than anybody else in the world when we're unleashed and on our own to succeed, not just for ourselves, but to better the world around us.
00:26:59.000So you're absolutely right about that.
00:27:01.000What we're seeing here is a symptom of that.
00:27:04.000But until we are required to balance the budget and until we're committed to a smaller government, it's going to be hard to get there.
00:27:13.000I want to play this piece of tape here.
00:27:15.000Apparently, it was going viral yesterday, but I'm guessing our audience hasn't fully saturated our audience yet.
00:27:21.000This is a Middle Eastern man bragging into a camera on the southern border, saying, and I want to make sure I get the wording, something to the effect of, you will know my name.
00:28:34.000It's 17 years since Gaza has, the Gazans have been running Gaza.
00:28:42.000The entire 17 years, they didn't perform virtually any government services.
00:28:47.000Every dollar they got, every bit of humanitarian aid they got went into preparing for the terrorist attack on Israel that we saw on October 7th.
00:29:00.000We are going to be paying the price for people like that coming across our border for decades to come.
00:29:07.000And the worst ones of all, undoubtedly, are the ones that aren't in the numbers and aren't even spotted as gotaways because they're, you know, you don't worry as much about the stupid ones as you do about the smart ones.
00:30:02.000But when I see Middle Eastern men saying, you're going to know me, everyone's going to know me, you better have an AR-15 at your disposal in your home because this is not playtime.

00:31:48.000And if I could, because I am Catholic and the Catholic charity, there is a paragraph.
00:31:56.000You hear, I had this thrown at me religiously when I was helping try to tighten up on illegal immigration in the Trump administration.
00:32:06.000Oh, you know, you're not a good Catholic, blah.
00:32:08.000There is a paragraph in the Catholic Catechism that addresses immigration.
00:32:13.000There is one paragraph, and it says two things.
00:32:16.000One, and I'm crushing this down for time.
00:32:20.000Rich nations should be generous in their immigration policies, and immigrants should respect the laws and customs of the nations they wish to enter.
00:32:32.000Well, America is the most generous country on the planet when it comes to legal immigration.
00:32:45.000But none of the people we're talking about when we're talking about the invasion of Texas, which is just one part of the invasion of our southern border, they're not respecting the laws or customs of this country.
00:32:58.000So people who want to take a religious view of it, I know everybody watching isn't Catholic.
00:33:05.000I'm happy to chat with you about that.
00:33:07.000But we're not crazy, and the faith applied in the world correctly isn't crazy.
00:33:16.000And America, frankly, fits with it, even while these NGOs are being attacked and you have the, I'm sorry, are facilitating the attack on our country.
00:33:27.000And they're facilitating people violating our laws and our customs.
00:33:31.000And they're being paid by the Biden administration to do it.
00:33:34.000And they're being paid handsomely, frankly.
00:33:38.000One of the counters to this you're starting to see, and they're doing this in Florida, Texas.
00:33:46.000They're looking at licensing these entities insofar as they're trafficking in children, for example.
00:34:16.000And there is a big difference between being the most generous nation in the world, which America is and continues to be, and being moronically accepting of people violating our laws by the millions and staying outside of our legal system.
00:34:34.000And we have a party, the Democrat Party, that believes they get political advantage of this.
00:35:34.000You'll remember the Mariel boat lift in Cuba where because Jimmy Carter, one of the worst presidents we've ever had, was willing to accept anybody hitting Florida, Castro emptied his jails into Florida.
