There's day September twenty fifth, twenty twenty five, at nine thirty eight am Eastern time, and that day it is important because the year is important because I got banned from YouTube on August twenty seventh, twenty twenty one.

I am now unbanned from YouTube.

I'm psyched because it's a much bigger user base and it does you know, my EEO feels like victory.

But just like on a lot of shows in twenty twenty one, I felt like I called things to come.

I just want to put my thoughts out there with a timestamp.

I don't think YouTube's changed.

There's no legal precedent saying what they did was illegal, and there was no le, there was no The Biden administration didn't do anything that gave them the ability to do that.

They were able to do that because of the repeal of the smith Mond Act.

In World War One, we had domestic propaganda, and after it we signed a build that said you can't do it domestically.

I don't think that that one had a different name world War two, they I believe it was called the smith Mond Act meeting you can do domestic propaganda.

The Nazis to the Japs, and then when the war ended, you can't do it.

That was repealed in twenty twelve by President Obama under the National Defense Authorization Act.

And I remember writing about that in college, which is part of the DoD, which is obviously a sacred cow.

So although YouTube letting people back in, there was no legal pressure to do this, and there was also no legal allowance or permission to ban everyone.

No legal going in, no legal going out.

The president was in twenty twelve, and it's part of the DoD.

So though it's awesome and it feels like a victory and maybe it will be, maybe I'm just so black built from this podcast, I can't even accept God's love.

So let's stay positive.

But my first thoughts are this, they're not changing as a group.

They are.

They're headhunters.

They're going out and getting money, the C suite, the CFCEOC, they're getting money.

They're part of a trillion dollar corporation.

Rumble is their primary competitor.

As of yesterday, Rumble's monthly active users are seventy eight million.

Monthly active users are two point seven billion.

So YouTube has I believe ninety nine point one two or zero point twenty one percent of the platform the market.

The only reason people go to Rumble isn't the same reason why people fled, you know, Europe to come to the United States.

The boat ride might kill you and when you get here you're probably gonna die from Indians or the elements.

Well then why would you come over?

Well, you can leave the royalty.

Oh and that's the That was the bargaining chip.

Rumble has been great to me.

Their bargaining chip is we won't censor you, which makes up for the objectively less intuitive user interface, less smooth and glossy app, smaller user base, almost non existent payments.

Whatever.

The flip side is is hey, we won't ban you, which is huge.

If I'm YouTube, I would do this because the culture pendulum swinging.

I would do this to save face.

I would also do this to rob Rumble of their only attractive asset, which, although there's only one, it was a big one.

By doing that, you will slowly gut Rumble and destroy your competitor.

You will bring the people you banned back over, which is a cultural pr win.

Pay them out for a couple of years.

If and when things slide back the other way, they will ban everybody again because there's no legal president from Jim Jordan saying that they can't do it, and there's no legal president going in that said now you can do it.

It all started in twenty twelve.

Nothing has actually changed.

It's there are no locks on the doors.

We've just agreed not to go in each other's houses.

Real power is a padlock and a gun.

That's not what this is.

This is an agreement because things are changing, no different than JP Morgan flying rainbow flags.

They don't care if you're gay.

They want your money.

YouTube's going to gut Rumble.

They're gonna bring over all the creators big pr win pay amount.

And then even when things change, because there's been no legal cement to stop this, they will all get banned again, including yours truly, and there will be sorry, there's a popper going by, and there will be nowhere to flee, or if there's a place to flee, it won't be because Rumble, despite its drawbacks, is the best of the alternatives.

It's better than bit Shoot, it's better than cloud Hub.

It's it's it's just it's it's better.

But it's the best of a group of not great things.

If they gut Rumble, there will be nowhere to go go back to.

It'll be a more permanent censoring than we saw in twenty twenty.

I hope that doesn't come to past.

I frankly, I don't care if they have a change of heart.

I don't care if they have a change of heart, or if it's just money, I don't care.

I'm trying to grow most my show, but I just want to pin that Thursday, September twenty fifth, twenty twenty five, nine forty three am Eastern.

That's what I feel this is.

And who knows.

It might be that there's no legal yes or no, and it kind of just stays in a homeostasis for thirty years.

I'll take that, but I'm not feeling warm than cuddly.

And I also have no guarantee that Rumble or Spotify or bit shoot or cloud Hub or Brady, I have no guarantee that any of them will never turn just my thoughts.

So that being said, please go subscribe to the YouTube.

It will be the only link in the description.

Thank you, guys.
