And so I'm not going to say this morning that Donald Trump is a whiny little bitch. But yeah, Donald Trump is a whiny little bitch. It's the truth. And I'm going to explain to you why he is a whiny little bitch. And I'm going to explain to you why he is a liar. And I'm going to tell you why MAGA and Donald Trump and the administration and all of the people, the grifters who are there just for the power, why they're such hypocrites. Okay, so I'll start off with the jobs because that's the latest breaking news, but there's something else, the latest news.
By the way, make sure you hit the like, make sure you hit the thumbs up, make sure you become a subscriber, hit the subscribe button and also become a member. Our membership link is at the top of the chat. So if you hit that thumbs up button or that like button, It affects the algorithm and more people become aware of our channel and our conversation this morning because I really want them to hear it. So thank you. The engagement is great, especially for Friday. Usually a lower engagement day for everyone all around. Not just me, but everybody, especially in traditional linear television. Fridays are like, you know, and then the summer gets woof. But I guess producers, if you recall. you're there last summer our engagement did not go down right i think it was the election is that what yeah yeah it was such a prominent time politically that our engagement held pretty steady even over the summer i know and then when all of like the other you know folks on here i don't know if you want to call them creators or journalists or whatever hosts when they were losing subscribers we were doing what yeah we were growing
Let's see, after the election.
Right after the election, yeah.
Phenomenal growth. We had so much growth that is, is it YouTube or Spotify? YouTube, right, is inviting us to talk about the growth of our channel.
That's YouTube, yeah.
Isn't that crazy? How to grow your channel so fast. In the meantime, you have all the haters going, they're sucking, they're not doing well. And then we have people inviting us and asking us, how on earth did you do this? We just kind of did what we wanted. We just didn't try to be like a traditional newscast where we go, hello, everybody. Welcome. Arcand. It's just like I come on and I say, how are you guys doing this morning? Where are you streaming from? Because it's a community. And then people feel comfortable and they feel welcome. And we built a fantastic community. By the way, that is Louisiana. Out there in the background, I'm here visiting my family. And then that is where all of the mishegas and chaos is going on and all of the hypocrisy and the normalizing and the false equivalence and the gaslighting of the American people in the world and the bullying of our allies around the world and then sucking up to Russia.
All of that is going on right here. And this is what's going on here is love and family. And what's going on right here with all of you is a community that does not stand for bullshit. So welcome, everybody. Hello, Lafayette, Louisiana, Shauna. Good morning.
