And you can't compare YouTube views to cable news ratings.

It's just not the way it works.

But some of these YouTube views are quite staggering.

And it's clear there's an audience there.

And it's resonating with people because it feels like there's no...

censorship happening or, you know, and censorship is a bad word.

There's no self-censorship too.

I think that's often what happens in news organizations as well.

It's easier if we didn't call Trump an autocrat wannabe, right?

It's easier if we just use softer language.

It's easier if we didn't say Tucker Carlson's a right-wing extremist.

Maybe we just call him a former Fox News host.

This stuff happens quite a bit.

And I think audiences recognize it when it does happen.

And they see us, you know, in particular, like, okay, well, these guys are actually saying what these people are like.

Tucker Carlson's not a normal conservative.

He's not just a former Fox News host.

This is someone who's poisoning the public well, the public discourse with really extremist thoughts, right?

And he's pushing very radical conspiracy theories, whether it's about vaccines or about January 6th supposedly being a false flag operation, et cetera, et cetera.

You know, you can go down the list.
