1:16:12 It's risky. What we do is a little bit different, but here's honestly what I was always looking to do is fundamentally change the landscape. of the internet and a part of it is motivated by seething rage, which I know isn't Christian of me, but I have been around YouTube right since 2009 and I have been suspended and we had the Vox apocalypse and we've been threatened to be removed and we've had to meet with the brass and you hear Susan Wojcicki up there talking about how they've created new guidelines for us, the borderline guidelines and you see Senator Hirono and Nancy Pelosi saying that we need to be removed and I've watched this happen and I've watched people on our side not fight back because it's sort of a tripopoly with big tech. Here's the beauty of rumble, okay? Mug Club is under that umbrella where people can pay and they can get, that's 89 a year, they get a full hour of show and the rest of all of this content. But it also allows Rumble to compete on the free portion with YouTube, right? The free portion is a platform like YouTube. Now that's the thing, we gotta operate in all zones, on the enemy zones, our own zones. This is an information war. Steven Crowder, final segment straight ahead. I'll be up there, what is it, next Wednesday. All right.
1:17:08 This is an information war and Stephen Crowder in his entertaining way with his band of married Liberty Pirates certainly has been challenging the system. And you gotta say, for political shows, it's as big as it gets on YouTube. And he's absolutely right. They have Fox News audiences every day, but it's not all celebrated and, you know, like it's Hollywood. Well, we're not Hollywood. And this show has giant audiences as well. We're trying to save the country. That's really my mission. And you know, Steven's having a fun time while he does it. I'd say joking half the time, very serious the other half. I'm serious about 95% of the time. That's probably why I've gone so crazy. But here's one of the skits that's hilarious that got him suspended on YouTube a few years ago. Here it is.
1:17:55 Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which will be to all people, for there is born to you a baby in this cell. And this shall be a sign unto you all. A virgin birth? A miracle? No. Your cellmate, that guy dressed as a woman, he's going to rape you. I'm a girl. Repeatedly. So that's going on in prisons all over the West. It's all admitted. You've got transgender athletes winning the Massachusetts Track and Field Championship, and it's a male steaming crowd. This is why we've absolutely not just got to survive. We've got to thrive. So tell us more about your big show relaunch that's got conservative, making a lot of other people looking over their shoulder.
1:18:47 You know what's funny is that girl actually, she's adorable, right? Lily, she went to work for one of the big boys because sometimes you end up with this where sometimes people kind of get poached and I'll write them a letter of recommendation because I can't afford to necessarily keep them. And came back because realized that there was, it was a little bit different than she had anticipated. And this happens a lot with our studio where people will leave, you know, I'm sure you've had this struggle, right Alex, where your talent and your creators, people will come and they go, oh, they're really good. They pay them more, but then they say, you know what, we're gonna have to lay you off or then lower the salary. But I will tell you this, This is the most important issue of our time. I mean, taxes are important. Yes, government corruption is important. This ties into government corruption. But the idea that there are no men and women, that they are fundamentally interchangeable, that's when society collapses. And this isn't even the first story, by the way. I was suspended, throttled on Facebook. Gosh, I want to say 2000.
1:19:32 2014, 2013 for talking about Fallon Fox, the person who lived as a man for 32 years of his life, I believe fathered children and then fractured women's skulls in the cage and lied by the way, about her biological, his biological sex. And I don't even know if he's still living as a woman. So this is something that we've been facing for a very long time. And the most important thing with Mug Club and people can sign up, lotofcredit.com slash mug club. We'll be coming back March 20th along with three, four, five other shows, $10 cheaper than it was before. It's about decoupling from big tech. Look, when you were removed, Alex, I think we had you on the next day within 48 hours and we had you on YouTube. And I don't know how we got away with that because there was a policy, persona non grata, Alex Jones on YouTube. I was disappointed that a lot of other people didn't. Even though you and I have some fundamental disagreements, I feel compelled to poke my finger in the chest of people who tell you what you can and can't do. And by the way, let me talk about some inside baseball. When you did that,
1:20:27 I think it was like a day and a half later, that was the only reason a bunch of other people had me on. And then YouTube had to clarify, no, other shows can have him. He just can't have his own show. So you helped break that electronic Berlin Wall for him, which is why I appreciate you. I didn't know. I appreciate that because when I did it, they in no uncertain terms said, no, no, you can't have them on. I said, well, go screw yourself with a wire brush. I'm going to have them on anyway. So I'm glad that it worked. And that's one thing, too, right? We have a big enough platform and I don't say this to brag about it, but I need to take ownership and responsibility for when I say I have a big platform. I don't. You do. Meaning the people viewing right now do.
1:21:02 They voted with their dollars. Let's be one trillion percent clear. There aren't many of us at this level, and this is a fight for our whole future. If we don't have the speech to challenge this takeover, we're going to lose. So this is essential. It's a war. And for people that don't know, it costs tens of millions of dollars a year to run Infowars with our bandwidth, our crew, our expenses, the legal, all of it. So when people saw that contract you turned down, and now you've taken a lower contract for freedom, they thought, oh, this greedy bastard. That's you paying for all your expenses, your studios, your bandwidth, all of it. People don't know what it takes. I saw the other day like BuzzFeed's $110 million in the hole and going under and all they do is write articles. I mean, you know, so we operate on a fraction of the money the left has. That's why listeners have to understand it is a war. It takes money to win wars. If you want good culture and good ideas out there, folks, you've got to patronize it. You've got to support it.
1:21:52 Yes, they have to support it and you know what, we have to offer a product that's worth it. That's always what I always say, I need to earn your dollar, meaning people who are watching right now, I need to earn your dollar every single day. I act as though every single audience is new and you've never seen what we've done before so we don't rest on the laurels because when you do that, you end up with a median demo that's 72 years old. And by the way, Alex, there's nothing wrong with a lot of traditional conservative media having a very, very old demographic. My problem is with exclusively marketing to that demographic. When you exclude people saying, no, no, no, this is how conservatives make money. I talked about this the other day. Alex, you travel the country. I know you do. You have a lot of people you interact with. OK, some of them are probably a lot of them libertarians, some of them Republicans, conservatives. Have you ever once met a Lindsey Graham fan? No. A Mitch McConnell fan? No. A Mitt Romney fan? No. No. OK. And these people are constantly in positions of power?
1:22:39 Right, think about it. We don't know one, not one. Even when you're talking about McCarthy, you have a lot of people who have issues with him. He wouldn't be the first choice. These are unelected people when they get elected to these positions of authority. For example, someone like Fauci is completely unelected. Sure, people are elected to the House or elected to the Senate, but then effectively they pick who leads them. But even when you're talking about a Republican primary, I didn't know a single person who was enthusiastic about Romney. I don't know a single person who was enthusiastic about McCain. I know a lot of people who were enthusiastic about Donald Trump, by the way, not saying that he's faultless, not saying that he's blameless, of course not. But when people say, you know what, we need to be a unified front, I agree. But they need to come our way. We don't need to go their way. Exactly. We've taken over the Republican Party. We're the populace. And let me ask this, because when I tell the story all the time, it's a gauge, like a bellwether. It's not like, oh, I'm famous.
1:23:25 you know, 10 years ago, I'd walk at the mall, maybe shake one hand, every hundred people knew who I was or came over. And then under Trump, the show blew up so big, it was like, I would shake 30, 40 hands, every other person, and somebody would say, F you Russian agent, I'm gonna, you know, kill you, blah, blah, blah. Dump coffee on me. It's been caught on video many times. Apparently go out to a restaurant without being attacked. Now, in the last year or two, I go all over the place, all over the world, into liberal areas. All I get is love now. You are just as well known. You're a gauge as well. You travel a lot. Are you experiencing the same thing? Because I see that as a gauge of the public mind. It looks like people are really awake right now.
1:24:04 I have a little bit of a reputation as a bordering on Howard Hughes hermits just because I'm very guarded with my private life. But yeah, no, I get recognized. We had to put a gym here in the office. It's not a big gym. It's a box with two squat racks because every time I would go to the gym, what should be 45 minutes would be two hours because you know, you always want to, you always want to talk with people. You always want to sign stuff. But at a certain point I'm like, Hey, I got to get out of here and I got to go to work. So we had to install a gym here because it was taking up so much time in my day. And I'm grateful. I'm incredibly grateful. Absolutely does change your life and yeah, even my dad who's been on the show, you know, just every now and then people hear Gerald for crying out loud gets recognized everywhere and people like him now. I don't know how that happened, but people love Gerald now, so I'm grateful for it and that's why I feel like we have to use our platform and our voice. And again, the listeners, I'm not saying, oh, we're famous, we're Hollywood. No, it's the opposite. We're letting listeners that feel alone and don't think we're winning know.
1:24:53 I was getting coffee and tea dumped on me every couple of weeks when Trump first got elected. That doesn't happen. All I get is love now. I mean, listen, I have to wear sunglasses and a hat, not that I don't want to talk to people, and like pull a collar up if I go to the grocery store and my wife won't go. I'm becoming more- Oh, that won't work, Alex. What, you think you're Inspector Gadget outfit? Then the second you open your mouth, like, oh yeah, I just want to get some corn puffs. And people are like, ah, that's Alex Jones. Come on. Exactly. I'm saying all I'm getting is love now, so it means something's changed. What's changed? I think what's changed is our ability to reach people directly. And I think a big part of it's the loyalty from people because we talk about people being othered, right? That's what the left says. Look, if you're a black Afro lesbian gender major, you know, studies major, you can pick from hundreds of representatives in mainstream media. If you are someone who is going to an Ivy League school or you are someone who's on the East Coast or somewhere in Los Angeles and you're conservative or you're working in the entertainment industry, guess what? Are you working in the liberal arts?
1:25:47 You are completely alone. You are completely other. That's whether you're black, yellow, red, white, guess what? You don't have anyone speaking for you. And so when I have people come up, they'll often say, hey, you know what? I've always been more conservative, but I was never going to watch Fox News. I was never going to tune into a lot of that. I would grow up watching Letterman. I would grow up watching Conan or Howard Stern. And they said, you know what? I thought there weren't people out there like me who thought like me, but also didn't just want red meat talking lines. And they say that they really feel less alone. That's a big thing when we do the stand up shows talking about many, many thousands of people at each show. And that to me is not something that I exalt myself. It humbles me because I genuinely feel like I have to serve these people. There's a responsibility with that. We don't have shows like yours that we can easily make number one. We don't have the culture. We are number one. Freedom is number one. And people fighting from the front lines are our champions. And that's why I totally support you. How do people get on board the
1:26:40 bold new relaunch of your already hit show with all the new shows and make sure it's even bigger because I do want it to become bigger than Conservative Inc. Not to, it's not a pissing contest, but so I can be free. So just because we can't sit there while they cower the next globalist operation for two years with their thumbs in their butt. We need to be leading from the front with you and others. How do people support the great work you're doing? And by the way, in a perfect world, we all get on the same page and we all say, you know what? Okay, we understand the enemy that we're facing in the left and the complete deconstruction of Western civilization. It's loudearthcracker.com slash mugclub. March 20th. Here's the beauty. If you watch there, you sign up, you just keep on watching and you get to watch the additional hour free and the rest of the network. There's no going to.
