00:08:13.000Also, guys, remember, if you can't make it here on Rumble, you can get the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts.
00:08:19.000So if you miss a show, if you're driving, if you're doing something, you have friends that get it that way, don't forget to check that out.
00:08:25.000And also, for all of the top headlines that we spotlight right here, Go over to my news app, MXM News, like minute by minute, MXM News, where you can get the mainstream news without the mainstream bias.
00:08:37.000That's the one that's been debanked and deplatformed and all of these things because we'll actually show you everything.
00:08:42.000We'll even show you stuff from the New York Times.
00:08:43.000And you can formulate your own opinion as to what's going on.
00:08:47.000And with that, folks, let's get right into the news.
00:08:52.000Jury selection began today in Alvin Bragg's baseless sham case in Manhattan.
00:09:09.000Whoever has this job, are they going to convict Donald Trump?
00:09:15.000I'm the candidate in the race who has the experience with Donald Trump.
00:09:19.000I was the chief deputy in the attorney general's office.
00:09:22.000We sued the Trump administration over 100 times for the Muslim travel ban, for family separation at the border, for shenanigans with the census.
00:10:48.000If they are able and willing to go after a guy like Donald Trump with his platform, with his ability to fight, with his base, there is literally no one they won't go after.
00:10:58.000They will go out and take out anyone who stands in the way of their power grab.
00:12:31.000This is not someone who likes Donald Trump.
00:12:34.000If the New York Times, like Bolshevik left New York Times, is calling it a legal embarrassment...
00:12:42.000What do you think that actually means?
00:12:43.000It's probably worse. Guys, even the Washington Post, the Jeff Bezos Amazon-owned Washington Post wrote that the prosecution left some legal experts scratching their heads as they describe it as an unusual case.
00:13:01.000That's a polite way of saying it's a bullshit case, folks.
00:13:05.000If you've lost, again, the New York Times and the Amazon Washington Post, you have a serious trouble.
00:13:11.000But that doesn't matter. Because in New York, you're not going to get a fair trial.
00:13:51.000So the charging of felonies rests on Bragg's word alone.
00:13:57.000Furthermore, you can tell there's no crime here because the DOJ, Joe Biden's DOJ, the FEC, Joe Biden's FEC, And Bragg's Democrat predecessor, Cy Vance, all declined to bring these very same charges because they too understood just how weak it actually is.
00:14:18.000The star witness in this case is none other than Michael Cohen.
00:15:10.000And has a massive, massive conflict of interest.
00:15:13.000His daughter worked for Kamala Harris' campaign and literally profits from the trial.
00:15:19.000She's a political consultant that helps Democrats like Adam Schiff raise money off of all the lawfare.
00:15:26.000That's her job. So if this judge says, you know what, this case is meritless, his daughter loses a lot of money, like millions of dollars.
00:15:36.000Now, when we try to get him to recuse because of these conflicts, no way!
00:15:40.000And an appellate division in New York won't let you do anything about it because, obviously, we're living in the People's Republic of New York, a communist stronghold in America.
00:15:51.000A retired judge, probably not a Republican, literally admitted this on CNN of all places.
00:15:59.000Watch for yourselves. work with many, many high-profile Democratic candidates.
00:16:10.000They put out a post. She, as an owner, gets a percentage of those contributions.
00:16:17.000So there is a statute in New York which says a judge must disqualify himself if a person known by the judge be within the sixth degree of relationship and a daughter is the first degree has an interest that could be substantially affected by the outcome of the proceeding.
00:16:38.000So the question here is Is this daughter likely to profit, to benefit from the outcome of this proceeding?
00:16:47.000And you have to understand, it's not actual conduct that's worrisome.
00:16:51.000It's the appearance, the appearance to a reasonable person that this judge cannot be fair and impartial given that relationship.
00:17:00.000So ordinarily, I would think that a benefit financially would be to a spouse because they share the income.
00:17:06.000This is an independent adult daughter.
00:17:08.000They don't share income. But according to this statute, the judge must recuse if she would substantially benefit from the outcome.
00:17:52.000Today, if you guys want to get really pissed off, this one's a lot.
00:17:58.000Today, he even said that my father will have to miss my younger brother's, Barron's, high school graduation for this trial or risk going to jail.
00:18:25.000Okay? That one I take personal umbrage with as the father of five young kids seems like a big one, and these people couldn't care less.
00:18:34.000But I hope that everyone watching understands just what's going on.
00:18:39.000By the way, Joe Biden is directly implicated in this prosecution.
00:18:44.000The prosecutor leading the case for Bragg is Matthew Colangelo.
00:18:49.000Colangelo is a lifelong Democrat activist who is a senior political appointee for both Obama and the Biden administrations.
00:18:57.000He was the number three at the Biden DOJ. Biden and the Democrats are focused on using the courts to target their political opponent instead of targeting adversaries like, I don't know, Iran, who are watching idiots like Joe Biden, the weakness that we exude as a country, the incompetence The focus on like the 4,672 genders rather than, I don't know, like winning wars and like taking care of Americans.
00:20:04.000And almost exactly one month before Iran's attack on Israel, Biden freed up $10 billion.
00:20:13.000Think about that. $10 billion in frozen funds for Iran.
00:20:18.000Now, the experts, the morons in the mainstream media...
00:20:22.000No, no, no! It's earmarked for humanitarian aid!
00:20:26.000They'll tell you that all day long because they're too incompetent to understand that money is fungible.
00:20:29.000Guess what? The money that was previously earmarked for humanitarian aid can now go make bomb vests for sociopaths to terrorize innocent people, women and children, in the streets.
00:20:42.000Our media won't talk about these things.
00:21:16.000Oh, it's wonderful. Honestly, if you're a predator, if you're a dictator, and you see Joe Biden get lost, you know, fall on his ice cream cone on a daily basis...
00:21:37.000Because none of them are afraid of the weak man who spends all of his time at the beach.
00:21:43.000By the way, a story we covered last week, why are we still funding NPR? You know, National Public Radio, it's supposed to be very unbiased, not at all political.
00:21:53.000Every single year, the federal government spends over $100 million supporting NPR. This is a massive investment of taxpayer dollars in Democrat Party propaganda.
00:22:05.000Just look at the CEO of NPR and who they are.
00:24:52.000If this was Republican propaganda, I can assure you the Democrats would be in line, they would be in sync, and they would actually do something about these things.
00:25:01.000And meanwhile, guys, the New York Times actually ran an honest story this weekend.
00:26:15.000All our aid accomplishes is prolonging the war and causing more senseless death.
00:26:22.000And if you've seen some of the videos that I have, you know that a lot of these guys aren't thrilled about having to fight this thing anymore.
00:26:28.000Finally, folks, the illegals are now landing on American beaches.
00:26:32.000Look at this video out of California showing a boat almost slamming into a surfer and then a massive group of illegal immigrants just running off.
00:26:42.000Just notice there also happens to be like a car waiting for them.
00:27:24.000Just an invasion, and we're allowing it to happen each and every day.
00:27:28.000Under Joe Biden, this country is becoming a punchline, and there's no signs that it's getting any better.
00:27:33.000And we'll get to Chris Pawlowski in just a few moments, but first, a few words from some of our very brave sponsors.
00:27:39.000It takes guts to support programming like this, because I say whatever the hell I want and what I'm thinking, which is also really important and a key tenet of our democracy and our republic.
00:27:48.000And I'm also going to play you guys a video statement my father just released, talking about the madness, talking about the lawfare.
00:28:22.000This kit provides you with a carefully selected assortment of effective medications for COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses.
00:28:29.000I think I need to get on that myself because whatever the hell I have from last week, I still got and I'm coughing my lungs out.
00:28:35.000Ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, the Z-Pak, and more.
00:28:39.000So you can rest easy knowing that you have the emergency meds on hand that you need along with a guidebook for safe and easy use.
00:28:46.000Make sure you guys go to TWC, like the wellness company, twc.health.triggered, like the name of the show, for a 15% discount on all of their medical kits.
00:30:09.000That's a big one so you don't pay a penny out of pocket.
00:30:13.000To learn more, text Don Jr, D-O-N-J-R to the number 98 98 98
00:30:20.000and get your free info kit, educate yourself, talk to them, let them take you through the whole process
00:30:26.000so you can learn and make an informed decision.
00:30:28.000That's what this is about. Teaching you how to take care of yourselves in these ways.
00:30:32.000Again, text DONJR to the number 989898 to learn more.
00:30:39.000That's real easy. And so guys, right before I get to Chris, although I see a lot of stuff going on in the questions, but we'll probably, maybe with Chris on here, we'll just take some of the questions throughout.
00:30:49.000So we can get to work and talk about that.
00:30:51.000If you guys have stuff on the lawfare, hit me up here in the chat.
00:30:55.000I think we can have some fun with that.
00:30:56.000But I wanted to make sure I showed you a video, a video statement that my father's campaign just released, talking about all of the lawfare, talking about the insanity of what's going on.
00:31:08.000Obviously, I went into the details above, but it's so much worse.
00:31:12.000What's even worse... Perhaps is that no one in the media, like they literally, the media is just taking the Democrat talking points on all, and it shouldn't surprise you, right?
00:31:22.000But they're just taking, they're not even like listening to the logical responses.
00:31:26.000They're not even talking about like the New York Times and the Washington Post themselves calling it out.
00:31:58.000So the people who are out there watching the mainstream news, and even they are saying, man, this is a little bit crazy, they don't even get to see the other half of the story.
00:32:07.000So check out this clip, and we'll be back with Chris Pawlowski in a few moments.
00:32:15.000In the middle of a presidential election, right smack in the middle, crooked Joe Biden and his entire corrupt party are staging a show trial of their leading political opponent, me.
00:32:31.000It's totally corrupt. It's never been done before.
00:32:34.000In a completely illegitimate act of election interference, they're trying to jail their opposition as if they were Stalinist Russian or Communist Chinese or Castro's Cuba or Socialist Venezuela.
00:32:48.000As you witness this Biden trial, I ask all Americans to remember that this is not just about me.
00:32:55.000This is about our country, and this is about you.
00:32:58.000Whether you're a Republican, Democrat, or Independent, we should all be horrified by the corruption of the system of justice.
00:33:06.000What's taking place in our country has never happened before.
00:33:09.000They go after Biden's political opponent because he can't do it.
00:34:20.000But, you know, that's... What we should unfortunately expect from these people at this point.
00:34:24.000That's why we're fighting back. That's why free speech and that ability to do is so important, which is why I'm so psyched to have Chris Pawlowski in here.
00:34:32.000We've known each other for quite a while.
00:34:34.000I think I was probably the second sort of bigger account kind of verified user after Dan Bongino on Rumble?
00:34:51.000I got a phone call in the middle of summer from Congressman Devin Nunes at the time.
00:34:55.000He was a ranking member of the House Intel Committee.
00:34:57.000And then a month and a half later, we had Dan Bongino come on.
00:35:03.000And that kind of opened the floodgates.
00:35:06.000I don't think a lot of people knew that Devin was the first person to come on in the summer, but then when Dan came on, a lot of people found out, and you were the guy right after him to come on.
00:35:18.000Yeah, basically, it was like when they threw my father off Twitter, sort of end of the presidency thing, I basically was like, wow, at the time, it was like five million people.
00:35:28.000I was like, I could just disappear like that, and Dan reached out and was like, hey, you should meet with Chris.
00:35:32.000We literally got together the next day, and I was like, yep, I'm on, let's go.
00:35:35.000Yeah, I think it happened really fast.
00:35:36.000Like, you came on, what was it, maybe February?
00:35:42.000Yeah, right after. Right after we connected, and then you were on Rumble, and now I think you're one of the largest accounts on Rumble that there are.
00:35:50.000And again, it's always, for me, a big part of it is actually just sort of staying in tune with, you know, our people.
00:35:55.000You've got to cater to independence and stuff like that, but like, you know, If I read the feed, you know, once you get through some of the trolls, you know, there's some pretty good stuff.
00:36:02.000You actually have a pretty good understanding of where that base really is.
00:36:04.000So, you know, for me, it's a lot of fun.
00:36:26.000Power slap. You guys started that, and man, even the platforms that, let's say, censor the crap out of us, man, they can't get away from that one.
00:36:36.000It just shows up in there. It's done incredibly.
00:36:37.000Yeah. Yeah, so I just got back from Vegas.
00:38:10.000It's the perfect medium for 2024, right?
00:38:14.000It's a... You know, here's a 30-second clip that just is wild, and it's like, that's about all the attention span we have at this point, I think, in many cases.
00:38:24.000But, I mean, it's so perfect for the time, right?
00:38:27.000Obviously, you can build up a storyline around it, you can create the rivalries, you can...
00:38:31.000But, I mean, in its infancy, you already have that kind of mega attention, which is pretty amazing.
00:38:35.000Yeah, it really caters to that TikTok, to Instagram, that short, like, 30-second clip that everybody wants to see.
00:38:43.000This happens within seconds, really, at the end of the day.
00:38:46.000And it's a shock factor in a lot of ways, right?
00:38:49.000Like, when you're watching the UFC, there's some good fights, but that shock factor could take a couple rounds to actually happen.
00:39:48.000Honestly, maybe other than yourself, like sort of one of the few sort of unapologetic CEOs out there.
00:39:54.000And I think, but I actually think it's working.
00:39:56.000Like when you see the insanity of what's going on in corporate America today, like it's, at least for me, like really refreshing to see some, I don't care.
00:40:14.000I don't understand how, like, Roger Goodell still has a job.
00:40:16.000It's like he has photos of, like, you know, I don't know, some of these owners doing some unbecoming things because it's like it's hard to believe that he still remains that.
00:40:26.000They keep giving him a raise as he's making more money than the teams.
00:40:29.000It's lunacy to me, but hey, what do I know?
00:42:19.000I think Eduardo Bolsonaro, who's the son of the former president, sort of like me, but he's also one of the most popular congressmen in that country.
00:42:27.000I think he was on the second Triggered podcast.
00:42:30.000He's a good friend of mine, a personal friend.
00:42:31.000We hang out. And what's going on there is almost like what's going on here almost advanced.
00:42:47.000They can arrest people. It's almost like a dictatorship in disguise under the guise of the court system.
00:42:54.000Like, they have more power than the actual president of the country.
00:42:56.000When you look at a court system, someone's supposed to bring something to the courts, and the courts are supposed to decide on that, and then ultimately goes through levels of courts until you get to a Supreme Court, and they're supposed to decide on it.
00:43:09.000But what we're seeing in Brazil is someone just unilaterally just saying, hey, I don't like this.
00:43:13.000We're going to have to shut this down.
00:43:14.000Without someone actually bringing an order or bringing something to the court, it's happening unilaterally by the Supreme Court in Brazil.
00:43:50.000We're not beholden to what China is going to tell us to do or what France is going to tell us to do or what Brazil is going to tell us to do.
00:43:57.000We're going to operate by U.S. law and we're going to operate here in the United States.
00:44:00.000And if someone else in some other country has a request or demand that doesn't have anything to do with our terms of service, then we're going to leave and protest.
00:44:10.000And that's... I think that's actually the best thing to do.
00:44:12.000So what is X and Twitter doing as it relates to all of this right now?
00:44:15.000I don't know how they have any jurisdiction over there.
00:44:20.000They've been complying for the last year, whereas when we got our first request in 2023, we were like, we're done.
00:44:27.000No more. We're not going to comply with your orders and stay in Brazil and shut off creators because you ask us to do so for no good reason.
00:44:39.000What they've done is they've been complying for a year, and I think last week Elon kind of just got to a certain point where he got fed up, and he said he's going to Not comply.
00:45:06.000It might happen. Maybe it's just taking some time.
00:45:08.000I know you probably have employee issues there and things that you have to work through, but it hasn't happened yet.
00:45:13.000I think the best thing to do is to have all the platforms, whether it's Meta, whether it's X, whether it's YouTube, whether it's Truth, we all have to, in unison, Turn off the lights in Brazil.
00:46:04.000You know, I don't even bother doing, like, you know, Facebook videos all that much anymore because it was like, it wasn't, you know, even the monetization side of that, it was like, it's not worth the time and headache.
00:46:14.000It's getting so few views, you know, and I don't know, maybe that's a political year, maybe it is whatever, but it doesn't seem like they have any interest in my...
00:46:22.000Side of the story. And so how does that happen?
00:46:25.000Because I don't see them ever actually putting that front together.
00:46:29.000Yeah, so when it comes to, like, there's two paths that can happen here, really.
00:46:35.000One is that he's going to not comply, or Rumble's not going to comply, and he's going to turn off our IPs, and we're never going to have access until we pay all the fines or whatnot.
00:46:43.000And that's going to happen pretty fast, because we saw with Telegram, it happened overnight.
00:46:47.000The other thing that could happen, the other path, which I think is the better path, Everyone did this.
00:46:53.000They were willing to do it for net neutrality.
00:46:55.000If you remember back, they were going to have a lights-out day where they're going to shut down services for a whole 24 hours for net neutrality.
00:47:02.000Why not for these crazy orders that we don't even know what they're for.
00:47:08.000We don't even know what violations they are.
00:47:10.000This is completely inappropriate on all levels.
00:47:16.000If freedom of expression is a human right, why not defend freedom of expression, the human right that everyone deserves, according to the United Nations, and shut off for a week or a day or two days or permanently, just shut off in protest in that country.
00:47:31.000If that happens, if they lose all their services in Brazil, the people will not stand for that in Brazil.
00:47:37.000But won't Facebook just be like, great, we've got more for us.
00:48:43.000I don't know. There's a chance, but it feels like maybe there's a moment where it's like, okay, this has gone too far.
00:48:49.000The insanity is, I'd love to give him the benefit of the doubt, but man, I can't do that based on what I see with my own eyes.
00:48:54.000I did have an interaction with him on Saturday night when I saw him at the UFC. You're kind of seeing that across the board though, not just with Mark Zuckerberg, but everybody.
00:49:06.000Everybody in my life in general is kind of waking up to all this type of censorship that's happening.
00:49:13.000It's crossing a line for so many people.
00:49:15.000The Brazil thing is just one example, but it's happening in Canada.
00:49:50.000Talk people through the bill, just so you understand.
00:49:53.000Because remember, we're like, ah, it's only going on in third world countries.
00:49:56.000No, it's not. This is a very consistent, it's a unified front.
00:50:02.000What's happening in Brazil is the same as what's happening in Ireland, is the same as what's happening in Europe, is the same as what's happening here.
00:50:07.000And, like, Canada's leading, you know, the crazy train faster than anyone.
00:50:13.000Talk about the specifics of this bill, what it's called, so people can understand just how real these threats actually are.
00:50:18.000Yeah, so this bill, like, in its first form is just...
00:51:30.000So, you know, if you can be a trans-revolutionary shooting up, you know, a Christian school, then that's probably fine because, you know, you're entitled to do that as the most protected class in society these days.
00:51:42.000But I imagine that would include even basic conservative thought, like there's two genders, or that would be hate speech.
00:51:48.000Possibly. It could be whatever someone wants it to be.
00:51:51.000That's why the word hate speech as a generality is just wrong to use on any term because you can't really define it.
00:51:59.000It can mean dislike. It can mean so many different things to so many different people.
00:52:09.000But apparently it's getting abused so much by all sides of the aisle that they can't handle it.
00:52:14.000And the police are saying, we can't even deal with it.
00:52:16.000Well, the whole thing's... But yeah, Ireland, they wanted to...
00:52:20.000I think they wanted to threaten, like, Conor McGregor because he was like...
00:52:24.000They wanted to make it a jailable offense to say Irish lives matter because I guess they've dealt with their own sort of invasion of, like, you know, migrants and stuff like that.
00:52:32.000And so if you say Irish lives matter, like, you know, I don't know.
00:52:36.000People who live in Ireland, those are Irish lives.
00:53:22.000Yeah, it is. And, you know, this is where I've gotten, like, a deep appreciation for America.
00:53:27.000It's, like, the last place that has, like, somewhat of, this is now arguable, a judicial system that will defend freedom of speech.
00:53:36.000Like, eh. If you're going to be a political refugee, Chris, do not come through the conventional channels because they'll just throw you in the gulags.
00:53:47.000What you have to do, fly to Tijuana, get a backpack, come across the border, they'll give you a credit card, they'll give you an Obama phone, you can have everything.
00:53:56.000You're just perfect. That's the way to do it.
00:54:00.000Don't do it because you started a great business and you employ thousands of people and you're good for the economy.
00:54:06.000That's not enough. We need people who are incompetent, people who will add nothing.
00:54:10.000They can get in so that we have your plan.
00:54:13.000We'll get you there. That's how you're going to have to do it.
00:54:18.000It's crazier in Canada, that's for sure, with the way things are going.
00:54:22.000But there's even penalties for you, corporate-wise, to be there.
00:54:25.000I mean, haven't you gotten all sorts of, just because of what you're doing and the nature of what you're doing?
00:54:29.000I mean, they're sort of coming after you in ways, and if you...
00:54:31.000Not yet. These bills that are coming down the pipe are definitely going to put us in that lane.
00:54:37.000And hopefully they're not going to be approved and get to that certain...
00:54:43.000Usually the first iteration of the bill changes a lot before it gets the other one, but still, lots of stuff has been passed in Canada that's of concern in the last five years, and this one is just the tipping point.
00:54:52.000This is the one where you really just hope it doesn't happen, because that's going to change the fabric of society entirely.
00:55:00.000But, you know, there is an election coming up in Canada.
00:55:03.000It's supposed to happen by the end of 2025.
00:55:05.000It could happen earlier. Yeah, I've heard they wanted...
00:55:10.000They can sort of pick a time when to do it so they can sort of take...
00:55:13.000The power party can have sort of the advantage.
00:55:15.000I guess there's ideas that they want to maybe do it sooner so they can sort of piggyback off the American election because they can use the outrage cycle to further their...
00:55:24.000No, I mean, but that's basically the theory, right?
00:55:35.000At this point, I don't think there's an advantage of doing it next year or this year.
00:55:40.000I just think they're going to get dunked on and lose hard.
00:55:43.000I hope so. I spent a lot of time in Canada.
00:55:45.000I mean, I own part of a business in Canada.
00:55:47.000Now, I'm up in the Yukon, so it's a little different.
00:55:51.000The problem is there's no people. They're all conservative.
00:55:53.000But... But where's it coming from, right?
00:55:55.000I mean, when you even think of the big cities, I mean, like, I've spent a lot of time more on the west coast of Canada, though I dated a girl for four years who was from Ottawa, so I spent plenty of time there back, you know, that was 25 years ago, but even on the west coast, it's like Vancouver, more liberal city, but, you know, half of Vancouver is like Chinese immigrants.
00:56:13.000What they escaped, right? I mean, no, it's just a fact of life.
00:56:15.000I mean, my friends there, they talk about sort of gentrification.
00:56:18.000They're getting displaced from their childhood homes because, you know, it's a very heavy Asian population that's been, you know, very welcomed and, you know, they're wealthy and creating businesses or whatever it may be.
00:56:27.000But I don't see them necessarily voting like a liberal.
00:56:31.000So you're sort of left with, you know, Toronto...
00:56:35.000Yeah, well, there's a real strong conservative population in Canada.
00:56:39.000It's actually the largest. On the popular vote, they win.
00:57:00.000They're passionate. Oh, by the way, the truckers across the board.
00:57:01.000I mean, obviously it started in Canada, but then they were going to do it here.
00:57:04.000I mean, that's like the most patriotic group of people feels like in the world right now.
00:57:08.000I mean, they're doing, you know, same thing with sort of, you know, I guess it's the truckers and the farmers in France with all the, you know, protests there.
00:57:13.000Like, those guys are the leading edge of, like, saying enough is enough.
00:57:19.000And it's a lot bigger than the truckers, too.
00:57:21.000You can kind of see it blossomed into something so much larger.
00:57:25.000People are dancing in the streets, people coming out of their homes.
00:57:28.000You got to see how there is that 40%, 45% conservative population in Canada.
00:57:33.000And I really think that's going to tip a lot more in this next election because of what...
00:57:38.000I don't know anyone right now that is...
00:57:41.000I hope so. I was watching, you know, two things that were sort of notable because it was both sort of, you know, statements on the media.
00:57:48.000One, you know, they arrested some conservative journalists for asking one of the ministers, like, you know, basic questions.
00:57:53.000It wasn't like even just, but like, they showed up, they asked uncomfortable questions because it's an uncomfortable situation that they should be held into account.
00:58:00.000And like the rest of the media was just like...
00:58:03.000They're not even interested in the questions anymore.
00:58:37.000Where'd you get it? It was so funny because it took...
00:58:43.000Less than no effort for this guy just to totally beclown this reporter who just clearly wasn't accustomed to doing anything other than narrating the narrative.
00:59:34.000They read what someone sticks on a teleprompter, and that's fine.
00:59:37.000It's all well and good, but they're not qualified to do that, and the people that are putting it in there are probably no more qualified than them.
00:59:44.000It's sort of a sad example, and yet it is something that we have to contend with because it is very real, and they still have a lot of power, and they're able to manipulate a lot, even if it's based on garbage.
01:00:07.000What do you guys think? One's if you think we should engage the media more, and two, if you think we should ignore the corporate media.
01:00:13.000I can go both ways, because, you know, so much of it's about, like, and honestly, I do it even, like, with Fox.
01:00:18.000Like, it's almost unwatchable for me at this point, you know what I mean?
01:00:21.000Now, I've been banned for, like, 18 months on Fox, because, you know, I call Paul Ryan a, you know, a pussy and a cuck, which is 100% accurate, but, you know, he's on their board, and therefore, you know, I can't speak.
01:00:32.000It was, they dropped me, like, five minutes before one show, because I was going to speak on, like, the day my father was first indicted.
01:00:42.000See, and this is the part that is interesting because, like, sometimes I think it's time for me to go and fight, like, to go into corporate media and go in their ground and show people what we actually believe in because I think most people would agree with it.
01:00:55.000A lot more twos. Well, one person said, fight but with class.
01:00:57.000The problem is this. You're not shown that same respect back, right?
01:01:01.000They lie about it. I was guilty of Russian treason, a crime punishable by death.
01:01:05.000That was a fact, according to them, for three years.
01:01:07.000When I was part of three of the big, you know, the walls are closing in, it's a bombshell, we finally got them.
01:01:14.000They didn't even retract it when it was totally disproven as a lie, like, just fact.
01:01:20.000So, you know, this whole notion of, like, You know, honestly, the fight back but with class, which means, like, fight back with your hands tied behind your back.
01:02:19.000I mean, it is about views. It is about clicks.
01:02:21.000People just stop watching. Like, I don't even watch most of the, you know, I certainly don't watch Fox News anymore because it's like, it's all part of the same regime.
01:02:27.000You know, like, now they're kind of back a little bit Trumpy because it's worthy for clicks.
01:02:31.000But, you know, they spent two years giving Ron DeSantis a lap dance.
01:02:34.000And I was like, you know, they just, they want to control Of who that person is.
01:02:38.000They want to be able to pick up the phone and have that person answer to them, even if it's the President of the United States.
01:02:42.000I didn't appreciate that prior to building Rumble and now owning Rumble.
01:02:46.000I didn't really appreciate how much the corporate media puts the finger on the scale for what they want.
01:03:06.000I mean, I used the DeSantis thing, not because it's whatever, like, you know, but it was so clear, you know, Fox, they wanted him to be president, and everything was like, you know, they took the memes, and they did this.
01:03:17.000I knew it was sort of nonsense. I had spent so much time with him, you know, in, like, 18, helping him get elected the first time, and then, you know, so I knew who the guy was, and I was seeing, like, man, you get, like, a five-second clip.
01:03:28.000You make someone look like a hero. People are like, aren't you worried, Don?
01:03:30.000Aren't you worried about DeSantis? I go...
01:03:34.000Well, like, eventually, like, when you're running for president, like, you gotta go long form, right?
01:03:38.000It can't be a clip put together by, you know, a great team of social media experts who'll take you dunking on some local reporter five seconds and they'll throw the, you know, the Dr.
01:03:46.000Gray music on in the background, put the sunglasses on and make you smoke a blunt.
01:03:49.000Like, you actually gotta do it for a while.
01:03:51.000And that's when people were like, oh, shit.
01:04:42.000By the way, Rumble Cloud, you guys go check that out.
01:04:44.000Like if you guys are on Amazon, if you guys have like Amazon Cloud Services or Microsoft or one of these, like that's where all of those companies get their revenue.
01:04:54.000It's not about buying your toothbrush there.
01:04:56.000You can go to Public Square for that, so you don't have to give them anything.
01:04:59.000But so much of these companies, their cloud services are how they're making their money, which they're then literally taking your money for your business, probably your data, giving it, and then donating back to lunatic causes on the left.
01:05:12.000Talk a little bit about the Rumble Cloud, and then I want to get into what you're doing actually combating the media stuff, but I just sort of went on a tangent there.
01:05:18.000Yeah. No, like, first off, like, we're finally having that asset class, that parallel economy with companies in the early stages of these companies that have, that can actually, are creating a whole new asset class.
01:05:31.000You got Public Square, you got DJT, which is Truth Social, and you got Rumble.
01:05:36.000And, you know, a lot of them are in the early stages.
01:05:38.000We're all kind of in the early stages, but we're all building great products, and now DJT has the ability to do amazing things with...
01:05:44.000The amount of capital that you guys raised and the valuations that you guys have, you can really push forward.
01:05:51.000But one of the things that we've done is, it's one thing to build the video platform to go and fight against corporate media, and it's very needed, but you can't do it if you're running on top of Big tech.
01:06:05.000Correct. They'll figure out a way to...
01:06:07.000Like, I'm not willing to, like, give up a battlefield.
01:06:10.000You know, I'm still... I'll still be on Instagram, even if they're screwing with me.
01:07:14.000I don't even need to say conservative business.
01:07:16.000I mean, if you're like a, you know, independent or right of that, like, you almost don't have a choice because, like, they've shown that they're willing to do this.
01:07:24.000Your business takes off. We don't like it.
01:07:26.000You don't like a post. You know, what you saw with, what, PayPal?
01:07:29.000You know, if you're spreading misinformation, we're just going to fine you, what was it, $2,500?
01:07:33.000Like, they're the arbiters of misinformation on, like, it's not a social platform, so you say something somewhere else they don't like, they're just going to ding your account?
01:07:41.000I mean, they'll really try to do this.
01:07:42.000That was actual policy for a minute until the world went insane.
01:07:47.000But the fact that it even got there shows...
01:07:50.000I mean, there's no grounding in reality anymore.
01:07:53.000There isn't. Parler got shut down even though Facebook, Meta, whatever you want to call it, had far more violations of the nature that Amazon was citing for Parler.
01:08:04.000Yeah. So... Why did they get shut down first if they were not the leading platform for the problems that they were considering to be problems at the time?
01:08:41.000There's finally a highway and a company that is going after that profit center that believes in freedom of expression and believes in having that highway open for everyone.
01:08:51.000Whereas, their highway's not open for everyone.
01:08:52.000Their highway's only open for the people they want.
01:08:58.000In the cloud world, if you're on AWS or one of these other, you know, Google, you know, cloud, how easy is that for people to transfer over?
01:09:07.000I mean, obviously you're starting off now, so how does that look for people?
01:09:10.000Because again, you know, I always say, hey, we sometimes got to make the extra effort, but I don't know that it's even an extra effort necessarily at this point.
01:09:17.000You got to just make the switch. Yeah, so we've launched the premium product first, so it's not the shared resources product, it's the dedicated resources product.
01:09:26.000When you compare our premium product to Amazon's reserved or premium product, we're very price competitive, we're significantly cheaper than they are.
01:09:37.000I think we can disrupt them on the pricing side.
01:09:48.000Much of which you're not even using. Whereas with Rumble, the price that you're going to get, you're going to get all those bells and whistles for one inclusive price.
01:09:55.000You're not going to get a bill that's twice as much as you thought it was going to be based on what you ordered.
01:10:00.000We think that we can disrupt them on the pricing in a pretty large way.
01:10:04.000That's what we've entered into the market with right now.
01:10:06.000So anyone can go to rumble.cloud and purchase their VMs straight from rumble.cloud automatically, put their credit card in and go.
01:10:14.000And again, this is not, just so we're clear, like it's not one of these where it's like, hey, you do this in Rumble, but you're really just on Amazon servers.
01:10:21.000Like dedicated hardware, dedicated servers, just you guys.
01:10:26.000Yeah, it's like when all those platforms went down like a month ago, when Instagram went down, even X went down, Truth and Rumble were up.
01:10:35.000We were the only highways that were open at that time.
01:10:37.000We still don't know why they all went down.
01:10:39.000That's another question I've been wondering.
01:10:42.000How did they all go down for a few hours and we don't know why they went down yet?
01:11:49.000It's like, hey, can you come on as an influencer?
01:11:51.000I was like, you can't afford me as an influencer, but if we grow this into something big, let's just do that.
01:11:57.000It's different. Because I believe in it, and it's important.
01:12:00.000So just being able to utilize sort of my connections and the linking and what you've done working with Devin and Truth to get that and to be the back of house that, because they're going to attack the hell out of that.
01:12:10.000Yeah. You know, God forbid, you know, the former president of the United States can actually have a place where he can speak freely without fear of being thrown off.
01:12:18.000It's a big deal. So it's an important fight.
01:12:20.000But, you know, the other thing you got to know, guys, about Rumble, I want you, Chris, take us through.
01:12:27.000Yep. You're suing Media Matters and some of the other media guys out there.
01:12:33.000You're actually sort of... I mean, I guess Elon's doing some of that.
01:12:36.000I think you've probably even gone further than that.
01:12:39.000I mean, can you talk about the details of what you guys are actually doing?
01:12:42.000Because I think it's important if you guys are looking at these companies, if you're on Rumble, you'll probably like it.
01:12:46.000But like, so you understand, like, it's not just, again...
01:12:51.000You know, a pretty veneer over, like, these guys are actually taking that fight back to the lunatics.
01:12:57.000Talk about that a little bit, because that's one of the more impressive things.
01:13:00.000It's not easy. But you guys are leading the charge, fighting back against the fake news, against those lies, against sort of the monopoly powers.
01:13:08.000Can you get into the details of some of those cases?
01:13:10.000Yeah, so one thing before I do that, someone said they should put their Truth Social handles in the chat.
01:13:18.000If you have a Truth Social handle, put it in the chat and let people know.
01:13:29.000Great idea. I think that's a great idea, guys.
01:13:31.000Because, again, all of this is so organic.
01:13:35.000You know, I built a pretty good following on Rumble really early when it was just sort of upstarting, and I think it was the first guy to hit over a million followers on Telegram, you know, and I think a lot of that's dropped off only because I think people perceive, whether it's Rumble or whether it's Truth Social, like, they had a place.
01:13:49.000Like, Telegram for a little while was almost the only place that you're like, okay, I probably won't get thrown off of that.
01:13:54.000So it's like, I hit like a million followers.
01:13:55.000I'm probably like half a million now because I just, I don't see as much use there because, you For a brief moment in time, that was the only place.
01:14:04.000Now between Truth, Rumble, you feel like there's at least a couple havens for you.
01:14:10.000Exactly. So to the lawsuit stuff, I think we're at the tip of the spear on that, fighting back.
01:14:17.000We're fighting back against corporate media in particular.
01:14:23.000Group, and you know, because we're in the middle of it, I can't say too much.
01:14:27.000But there was, I think it was called, they're called Check My Ads, and they said, they did defamatory statements against Rumble, saying things that were not true to try to hurt us.
01:14:39.000So it's designed to basically, what, like, they're commenting on things to make it seem like, it's a bunch of racists on Rumble, so they scare away the advertiser.
01:14:47.000But it's literally just created by these leftist, like, bots.
01:14:51.000They're There's a whole, I guess, community on the internet that just says all types of stuff.
01:15:01.000It's really weird because it's not just the big tech companies, but there's communities coming after us trying to hurt our advertisers.
01:15:12.000Where they literally refresh the page 17 times so they can get an advertisement that showed up against the video that they perceived to be bad and then write an article about it.
01:15:23.000And we could see that by seeing how many times they refresh the page because they did it while they were logged into Rumble.
01:15:29.000So it made it easy for us to figure it out.
01:15:33.000They're vicious. They're not too smart, folks, but they're vicious.
01:15:36.000And they make up for it in volume and then they, you know...
01:15:39.000It's interesting though, like you're sitting there trying to create something that's bad, a video that no one else watched in the prior year except them.
01:15:47.000They found some crazy video, or they perceive it to be a crazy video, and they write an ad about it, and they write a whole article about it.
01:16:13.000But we're also suing Google for antitrust, which I think is probably one of the...
01:16:21.000To the rumble business, a very important case, and I think a very important case for the entire world.
01:16:27.000Well, I think, just so we're clear, I personally think, I'm not putting words in your mouth, but I think Google is by far the worst offender in the world in terms of being a threat to truth, to free speech, to the basic tenets of our...
01:16:42.000The amount of weight that they've put on the scale...
01:16:46.000To shift things towards lunacy and liberal policy to me is like literally unfathomable.
01:17:07.000Yeah, I would say, I would reiterate what you say.
01:17:10.000I think Google's probably one of the most dangerous companies out there in many different respects.
01:17:16.000And the monopoly they have in the online video platform market where we went after them both for search preferencing and for pre-installs on the Android app.
01:17:28.000I think that's just one component of the evil that is happening by Google.
01:17:36.000There is more. And I think what we're doing by fighting on the antitrust thing is probably one of the most important cases that's out there on the antitrust front.
01:17:55.000If you know, you kind of know how important it is.
01:17:57.000You can kind of see our case laid out.
01:17:59.000You can read the complaint. You can see how solid it is.
01:18:02.000We're in discovery. We're in full discovery right now.
01:18:05.000Depositions. Everything's going on right now.
01:18:08.000It's pretty unique because everyone thought that it would have been...
01:18:13.000You have to get to the discovery portion.
01:18:16.000Google went and they did a motion to dismiss all our claims and the judge denied all of them.
01:18:22.000I'm actually shocked because, I mean, the amount of money that Google spends on lobbying probably makes the military-industrial complex look like a bunch of low spenders.
01:18:33.000Well, no, I mean, listen, it's a trillion-dollar industry for a reason.
01:18:36.000It's a trillion-dollar business for a reason.
01:18:37.000It's a monopoly. The amount of money they skim off every online transaction for the real estate, I mean, it's...
01:19:15.000What do you think the timing of all of that is?
01:19:17.000So I think there's a trial date set for, you know, there's already dates set.
01:19:22.000I don't know them off the top of my head, but, you know, we're far down the path now in Discovery.
01:19:28.000So, you know, it should hopefully be, well, I think trial set for 2025, so.
01:19:34.000And some of these things, I guess more the media cases, you're sort of in there with Elon, because I guess they tried doing the same, similar to X. So, yeah.
01:20:00.000Maybe it does. But at this point, we took a little bit of a different approach, and you know what?
01:20:06.000Maybe they're connected. By the way, I don't think anyone watching would be surprised if all of these things are well-coordinated, well-orchestrated with an intention.
01:20:30.000I mean, honestly, as it comes to tech, I mean, you can tell me, but like, The amount of Republicans I see that tell me what I want to hear on tech, but they accept their $3,500 donation from Google, and they talk a big game every once in a while on TV, and then they vote for it.
01:20:46.000I mean, it was sort of like the FISA insanity last week, right?
01:21:02.000I can't figure it all out, but it's crazy right now.
01:21:08.000When it comes to these organizations, I think they're all working in unison.
01:21:15.000My working theory is that there is like...
01:21:19.000A lot of money from a couple of organizations that are being dispersed down to hundreds of different non-profits and these non-profits are all kind of, they all kind of know each other and they all kind of have the same agenda and they're all kind of trying to do the same thing.
01:21:36.000When you look at Media Matters and you look at Check My Ads and you look at what they're chasing every day, it's like, did they get a playbook?
01:22:11.000On the media side, from Media Matters to check my ads to all these groups and what they're doing, it's scary.
01:22:20.000Yeah, I mean, I mean, obviously, you know, China is funding so much of the stuff, right?
01:22:25.000I mean, but they're funding a lot of the political sort of discord stuff, you know, they're funding the, you know, let's make trains cool, you know, stuff, because I guess it just, they understand what that will ultimately do to society.
01:22:36.000So they'll push it and, you know, jam it down our throats.
01:22:38.000I'd be curious, you know, what are your thoughts on sort of what's going on with with TikTok?
01:22:43.000You know, you talk about the ban, and you know, obviously it's a conflict, right?
01:22:46.000Like, I don't want to ban anything in America, and yet if it's something that's being used as a, you know, a clear psyop.
01:22:58.000They'd never allow that because they understand what it may be doing, even if it's not as, you know, as flagrant as some of what you see on a TikTok.
01:23:06.000But like, you know, they know, hey, they're never going to let that voice in China because it's not good for what they want.
01:23:11.000But at the same time, you want to be against a ban.
01:23:14.000What are your thoughts going, you know?
01:23:16.000TikTok's a great question because like, you just hit it.
01:23:41.000All these countries, you can add France and Brazil to the same group as China now, in terms of trying to censor their population from seeing what they want to see or hearing what they want to hear.
01:23:54.000It's like... Why are we not allowed to go into the Chinese market, but we're totally allowing Chinese companies to come into our market with no tariff or no nothing?
01:24:19.000We gotta practice what we preach, but I also understand that China takes that and weaponizes it against us.
01:24:24.000You know what I mean? Correct. If America, you know, someone was hit by, oh, it's a humanitarian abuse.
01:24:28.000Meanwhile, China has millions of people in the Uyghur slave camps in, you know, western China, and it's like, you know, but they'll go to the UN Security Council and they'll take, like, one incident and be like, see, look at what you're doing.
01:24:40.000Like, it's so ridiculous how hypocritical they are, and yet they can get away with it, right?
01:24:45.000So, It's a hard one because you understand.
01:24:52.000The big TikTok stars in China are genius kids doing physics projects.
01:24:57.000They're trying to encourage that kind of behavior.
01:24:59.000In America, it's like, let's find the biggest dumbass in the world and make him a hero so that an entire generation of people wants to emulate a dumbass.
01:25:10.000I don't know, man. I guess if you go for it, you deserve it, but it's clearly a PSYOP and a component of it.
01:25:17.000It can be considered a weapon the same way we're considered as a weapon over there.
01:25:21.000At the end of the day, what is their purpose and why are they doing it?
01:25:25.000We don't know what their algorithm is doing and what it's pushing and what agenda it has.
01:25:32.000We've seen bias. You see what Google did when they launched their AI? Talk about bias there, right?
01:25:36.000So, like, how is it that China's not going to have a bias in their algorithm?
01:25:39.000Are we going to assume they don't? Of course they're going to have a bias.
01:25:41.000Do you think this notion that's been proposed of, like, sort of, hey, you know, make it, like, an American subsidiary, so at least the data...
01:25:47.000You know, because, I mean, there's sort of the worry about sort of the data, right?
01:25:50.000They're spying on your 16-year-old kid, and then as someone who has a 16-year-old kid and a 15-year-old kid and a 12-year-old kid, like...
01:25:56.000Kids are dumb. They make stupid mistakes.
01:25:59.000If someone's listening in on everything like that, and that can be used against them in 30 years, it does feel like a point of leverage to ultimately manipulate the political levers.
01:26:08.000That sounds crazy, but when you think about millions of kids on there, they're like, hey, some of those kids are going to become congressmen.
01:26:13.000They're going to become senators. Some of them may become presidents.
01:26:19.000Like, I always say, for me, contrary to popular belief, I was not always the upstanding citizen that I am today.
01:26:26.000I probably had a couple wild years in me.
01:26:28.000And, like, you know, I literally thank God every day that, like, when I was in college and maybe, you know, weekends in high school, that, like, I didn't have a video camera in my pocket.
01:26:37.000You know, or a camera, you know, or Snapchat and instant messaging.
01:27:10.000Yeah, and you have a foreign nation that holds all that data.
01:27:12.000Correct. That would clearly weaponize it, because they've shown that.
01:27:18.000I'm very torn about the whole TikTok situation, because my ultimate mission is freedom of expression, and really pushing that human right.
01:27:29.000And then when you now have countries and different borders and different places in the world and you have a foreign nation that could want to do something that's really negative, what do you do in that situation?
01:27:42.000If Rumble can't... Just look at Rumble.
01:27:47.000Something is wrong, fundamentally wrong with that.
01:27:50.000It's like, you know, I think your dad always used to say, like, if you're going to put taxes on us this way, we're going to put taxes on it the same way.
01:27:56.000Seems fair. I think that's just, like, the perfect way to look at it.
01:27:59.000And I think, like, if we have to pay a tax to go to China, let us know what it is.
01:28:05.000And if they have to pay a tax coming over here, we'll let them know what it is.
01:28:08.000I think that's fair. And when it comes to something like TikTok and Rumble, it's...
01:28:13.000It's just weird because they probably perceive us as a weapon, but yet we're totally comfortable of not perceiving them as a weapon and allowing them to operate here and potentially be manipulating a lot of minds.
01:28:26.000Speaking of sort of manipulating minds, what are your thoughts on sort of AI? It's dangerous.
01:28:49.000I think, you know, this is something I've like really deeply tried to understand over the last year.
01:28:54.000And I've gotten to a point where I think I really understand where I could go and The impacts it could have, the positive impacts it could have, the negative impacts it could have.
01:29:04.000I think when Google released Gemini and we got to see how manipulative things are going to be, I'm at a point where if you use it for recommendations and use it for things that are like...
01:29:33.000Everyone's going to have a different motive.
01:29:36.000Google's going to have a different motive than Rumble's going to have, and Rumble's going to have a different motive than Meta's going to have.
01:29:43.000Oh, it's a little scary, though, but you think of, like, sort of Meta and Google.
01:29:45.000I mean, obviously leading the charge there, you know...
01:31:19.000I agree with Elon in terms of it spiraling out of control, but I think...
01:31:23.000If you're not doing what your enemies are doing, and you're limiting yourself, I sort of feel like that's almost an assured way to lose.
01:31:30.000And again, Elon's probably forgotten more about AI than I will ever actually know in my life, but it just felt like He doesn't strike me as a naive guy, but it felt like a naive comment.
01:31:39.000Does that make sense? Because it's like, I just don't believe any of our adversaries, and there's plenty of them, would ever sort of put themselves in check, right?
01:31:51.000They're going to do whatever they want to do.
01:31:52.000Yeah, they're going to do whatever they want to do.
01:31:56.000I don't know how much further we are in America than they are in different countries.
01:31:59.000We might be behind. It feels like we're behind on a lot of things these days.
01:32:03.000Well, because we're focused on the wrong things, right?
01:32:06.000Correct. Our military, which is sort of the place where so many of these technologies throughout, whether it's...
01:32:12.000Everything from planes to, you know, GPS to, like, all sort of started there.
01:32:17.000But we're not concerned about these things, you know what I mean?
01:32:21.000China was testing hypersonic nuclear-capable missiles, and we're worried about, you know, gender theory.
01:32:26.000My friends in the SEAL teams literally have complained to me that they're doing more time in diversity training than they are shooting in And you know, hey, like, I don't know.
01:32:36.000Maybe I'm old-fashioned. I want my, like, Navy SEALs to be able to shoot, not recite the genders and gender theory and, like, check some box.
01:32:46.000And, like, I got shit on by the media for saying it.
01:32:48.000And then, like, you know, Rob O'Neill, Carl Hinkby, like, a bunch of my SEALs that are friends that are, like, out there.
01:33:06.000And that's the problem with a lot of things in the world right now is like, you know, as a video company, we should only be focused on video.
01:33:13.000I shouldn't be concentrated on, you know, This diversity stuff.
01:33:51.000I mean, like I said, I didn't know Russell.
01:33:54.000I actually followed him because it was sort of interesting to see someone sort of get red-pilled in real time.
01:33:57.000And I don't... I don't believe he believes a lot of the stuff that I believe about certain things in politics, but he was sort of a free speech absolutist and was fine with that.
01:34:07.000At the Rumble opening, when you guys opened up in Sarasota, the corporate offices, I spent some time with them.
01:34:14.000It was interesting because I was like, wow, couldn't imagine two more opposite people in a certain way?
01:34:24.000We started off with, I actually led it with a totally inappropriate joke that he found really funny.
01:34:30.000And that was, he's like, oh, you and I are going to get along great.
01:34:32.000And it was like, I didn't have that in my bingo card, but it worked out.
01:34:36.000But then, you know, when that nonsense happened, you know, it was so shocking to me because I've gotten so used to it now, the attacks on my father.
01:34:43.000It's like, 45 years ago, Donald Trump did something like that.
01:34:46.000So for 45 years, you didn't say anything?
01:34:48.000Like, you know, Donald Trump had a leading show.
01:34:51.000You were a big fan of that show. It didn't matter.
01:34:52.000But once he became a Republican, that's when it became a problem, right?
01:34:56.000It felt like Russell Brand, once he was married to Katy Perry, he was probably one of the world's super couples or whatever the hell, at least in pop culture terms, which is a big deal.
01:35:41.000It doesn't show up in the things I'd be interested in, even if he's talking about a subject matter that...
01:35:46.000I'm clearly talking about. You know, I could talk about a pair of sneakers right here, and the next 50 ads that pop up in Meta or on Instagram are going to be about sneakers.
01:36:00.000Yeah, no, when we received a letter from the MP and the UK government, it didn't take us more than 30 minutes to put a response out and say, uh-uh.
01:36:14.000We're going to focus on video if he violates terms of service of our video platform.
01:36:19.000We'll deal with it. But what's happening in his life, if you're going to go after every single character with something that happened in their life, an allegation that we don't even know who it's from, like an anonymous allegation, well, I got news for you because there's a lot of people on YouTube that are going to have a lot of problems if that's the case.
01:36:36.000But it didn't stop them from doing it, right?
01:36:39.000Like I said, he was a phenomenon in all of my feeds, whether it was X or Whether it was Instagram, obviously Rumble, and like I said, right now, there are acquaintances, but other than Rumble, it doesn't show up anymore.
01:36:55.000And I think he's doing great on Rumble still, but...
01:36:59.000So even if it's bullshit, it's having some sort of effect.
01:37:03.000Because I imagine others who may not be paying as much attention, who may not have been like, okay, I like what he's saying because I'm willing to listen to someone who doesn't necessarily agree with me if we're sort of unified by certain basic tenets.
01:37:36.000It's crazy. It's so crazy to watch these companies that are supposed to be focused on one thing.
01:37:41.000Actually, when we hire people from these big tech companies that come over to us, they actually tell us that one of the reasons why they're leaving is we're not working on product anymore.
01:37:50.000anymore, we're working on some specific thing that has nothing to do with the product whatsoever
01:37:59.000and has something to do with some political social issue.
01:38:02.000And they're not working on the code of the product anymore.
01:38:05.000And they're like, I just want to work on a cool product.
01:39:53.000That's one thing that Rumble enables everyone to do.
01:39:57.000You can actually sit there and have a conversation and make a joke and have fun.
01:40:01.000Fleet Lord Atvar, woodchippers for pedos.
01:40:05.000I think this is, if I run for president one day, maybe that will be my slogan, because I think we should all agree on that.
01:40:11.000But they don't. The Democrats these days don't seem to care.
01:40:14.000That was an interesting thing. I was the one that introduced Tim Ballard, who did The Sound of Freedom and everything like that, to my five.
01:40:20.000I met him in Utah, some event, and he talked about this human trafficking thing.
01:40:24.000And everyone understood it was a problem, but you're like...
01:41:51.000You don't have to be on your computer.
01:41:52.000Yeah, you can watch it on your LG TV, Samsung TV, Roku TV, Apple TV, Android TV, Fire TV. I'm sure there's more, but you can watch it on your TV, which is, I think, A lot of this live streaming and these shows are going to slowly start replacing cable television.
01:42:10.000I think it has to because I feel like the cable model, it's like...
01:42:13.000It's not authentic. It's the same show.
01:42:15.000I mean, there's shows and some of these guys are my friends.
01:42:18.000I can watch the show tonight and go to the show 18 months ago and it's probably the same thing.
01:42:23.000It's all agenda-driven like we discussed earlier.
01:42:29.000When you're watching someone on Rumble...
01:42:31.000You're going to get, like, their true views.
01:42:32.000You're going to get to really understand Donald Trump Jr.
01:42:35.000Like, you're really going to get to understand the creator that you're watching on Rumble.
01:42:39.000And there's no agenda. I don't call you and tell you what to say.
01:42:42.000Yeah, there's plenty of libtards on Rumble, too.
01:42:44.000You can go follow them. I wouldn't recommend it.
01:42:46.000I'd say you watch this show over and over again, but...
01:42:50.000So the second component is the Rumble Studio, which is our live streaming product.
01:42:55.000So we're going to try to make it a lot easier for everyone to monetize and stream to all platforms agnostically and make live streaming very simple.
01:43:03.000Because I do think without that product, that product will enable an economy and monetization for creators, but it'll also produce a lot of content for Rumble itself and all platforms.
01:43:14.000The third product is the Rumble Advertising Center, which we're going to compete directly against Google AdSense and Google Ad Exchange.
01:43:20.000Google has a monopoly on the advertising industry, and we want to disrupt that.
01:43:26.000Truth Social is one of our largest partners on the Rumble Advertising Center, so we monetize We started monetizing even TMZ recently.
01:43:36.000They're using Rumble Advertising Center to test some of their video inventory.
01:43:41.000Drudge Reports testing some of our inventory.
01:43:45.000Gateway Pundit, Breitbart, a lot of different publishers can now use Rumble Advertising Center to monetize, which is great because a lot of these places were canceled by Google.
01:43:54.000So now Rumble is providing a solution for a large part of the market that wasn't able to monetize.
01:44:00.000So Rumble Advertising Center is going to go heads up against Google's advertising ecosystem, which is a monopoly.
01:44:08.000And the fourth component is the cloud.
01:44:12.000None of these first three things are...
01:44:14.000You're never going to provide authenticity in any of these three things and be able to do any of these three things without having a highway that is going to treat everybody fairly and treat everybody under...
01:44:27.000Treat everybody unlike the way AWS and Google and Microsoft would treat you on the same principles that Rumble has, which is freedom of expression, authenticity, etc.
01:44:40.000So the Rumble Cloud is the core component and it's going after the profit center of Silicon Valley.
01:44:47.000And five years from now, I see all these four products much bigger than what they are today.
01:44:52.000And I think that a lot of new businesses will start emerging because of these products.
01:44:58.000Because now there's an advertising ecosystem, you can build a conservative product and monetize it unlike you could do probably a couple years ago.
01:45:07.000You can now build on a cloud platform that you don't have to worry about.
01:45:13.000Think about churches and think about religions that have beliefs.
01:45:20.000There could be a day where Amazon says, you know, we don't like this belief in this...
01:45:24.000They kind of already are. Amazon, they're left of even our radicalized DOJ, and our DOJ and our FBI have called practicing Catholics domestic terrorists.
01:45:35.000So if you don't think it's going to happen, like...
01:45:38.000Your own DOJ are, you know, federal law enforcement.
01:45:44.000Banks turned over data to them of people who bought Bibles or shopped at Bass Pro Shops because that labeled you a conservative.
01:45:50.000If you were a concerned parent or mother, you go to a PTA meeting and question, you know, the DEI, BLM indoctrination going on in our public schools.
01:46:00.000Like, that made you a domestic terrorist.
01:46:24.000This is why we've built all these products to be able to really address this need in the market.
01:46:31.000And essentially the most important thing is create a highway based on free expression in the First Amendment, which is something that doesn't exist anymore until RumbleCloud came along in the last month for the rest of the public.
01:46:42.000That's where I see this platform going.
01:46:46.000I think ultimately five to ten years from now, I hope that we replace cable television to a large degree and we really change the market in terms of independent, freeing creators and creating independence for yourself so that you can broadcast to your fans and to your subscribers in a way that there's no impediment or agenda or anybody telling you what to do.
01:47:10.000It means there's going to be a lot of opinions on Rumble, and a lot of things you don't like on Rumble, but a lot of things you will like.
01:47:16.000That's okay. I think that choice is ultimately, you know, the best ideas win in that marketplace, and that's what we want to foster.
01:47:24.000Okay, so last question. What's your favorite show on Rumble, and why is it triggered?
