2:21:43 your time and the few minutes we have left here. What else do you want to impart to people, Mr. Torba about gab? Because I I've seen this on info wars dot com and I've seen this in the comments. Listeners are like, why don't you promote gab more? Why don't you on your show and your articles say go to gab? And I totally agree. I've told my writers do it. I've told my crew do it. We do post, you know, embedded Things from gab more but I I really should that's why we're having you on the show Make gab a bigger deal because parter sold out all the others rolled over Trump can't even get a side What you're doing is so important and and you're their big target of hey Let's shut down somebody that tried to build their own thing. We should all rally behind gab. We should empower you. We should support you We should pray for you. How do we do that? Because a lot of folks are watching. I
2:22:34 Yeah, Alex. I mean, the first thing you could do is prayer is definitely number one. It's really difficult on my family and on myself and on my team. What we do is not easy. We have a lot of long, grueling days. It's been a long five years. But that's the cross we carry to defend free speech online. What people should know about Gab.com is that we're the home of free speech. If it's protected by the First Amendment, it's protected on Gab. We don't allow any illegal activity. We don't allow threats of violence. And it's the internet as it always has been since the inception of the internet. It's the free flow of information. It's speak your mind. If you don't like what someone's saying, you don't have to associate with them. You can block or mute them. You don't have to follow them. So it's free association with free speech, and soon we're going to have a free market. We are the leading
2:23:19 alternative to Silicon Valley oligarchies. And, you know, that's not going to change. There's been a lot of people who've tried to intimidate or imitate what we're doing and intimidate me and try to buy me out and try to make threats on my family and threats on my business and threats on, you know, me personally in order to get us to stop building. But, you know, again, I cling to that cross and I cling to my faith and we're not going to stop building. We're going to keep going. And Andrew, I'm going to interrupt, but let's talk about because We're not victims, we're overcomers, we have Christ. But listeners should know that it's a sign of you're doing the right thing, you're under attack. I know a lot of this is stuff off record, because they have you sign a non-disclosure, meet with a corporate group, they want to give you an offer. I've been through this probably 20 times. I haven't had these conversations with you, I'm just guessing. What is it like, though, when they're offering you that $20 million, that $50 million, that $100 million, which I've been offered to sell out? Because for me, it's so easy, even
2:24:16 entertaining the offer, I feel God pulling away from me. And that is so scary that fear of God is not fear that God's gonna hurt you, it's fear of separation. So I'm sitting there any time, I'm not gonna sell out, but I'll look at their deal, and I literally feel like God going, so I'm not putting words in your mouth, that's my experience, what's your experience? Absolutely, yeah. I've had hedge fund managers and venture capitalists and big corporations approach us with all sorts of deals and offers and they always come with strings. But I'm not doing this for money, Alex. I'm doing this so that my children have a place where they can speak freely on the internet so that they can have the same internet that I grew up with and so that the millions of people that depend on Gab to get their access to information... Because if you don't have speech you have nothing. And I know you don't want to give the enemy attention,
2:25:08 People need to know how real this is that they come to you and they say, oh yeah, we want to fund you, do whatever you want. Oh, here's the contract, just agree to these things. Right? Like they lie up front, right? They say, oh, there's no restriction until the contract comes out. Right, or even after a lot of cases they'll do that too. They'll get you the money, they'll get you in the door and then they'll try to subvert you after that. But the moment you give them an inch, it's over. It's over. The moment that you sell your soul out for capital or for power or for status, they offer all sorts of things. And when that didn't work, they tried that very early on with me in 2016, 2017 when we first launched Gab. When that didn't work, that's when the attacks begin. That's when they started coming after me personally, coming after my family.
2:25:49 family coming after the business, you know, we started getting banned from app stores and, and payment processors, and you name it. And each and every time we just got more and more resilient and more and more bold. You know, if you tell me I can't do something, that means that I'm going to work twice as hard to make it a reality. And that's what I've been doing for five years. We have plans on selling out. We're fully funded just like you are, you know, from the people, the people that are watching the show, the people that are using the platform or the people that are funding Gab and making Gab possible. And what is it like spiritually and psychically to feel all these brown people and white people and black people?
2:26:26 red-blooded people, you can feel their love and their will and they support you. Not just financially, their prayers. Sometimes I'm so exhausted, and all of a sudden it's like just, they just give me all that power. I'm so thankful. It's that communal power, this is spiritual. You know, we get letters to our PO Box every day, handwritten letters. And, you know, we get emails and I get comments on, you know, hundreds of thousands of comments a week on my post with people from all around the world, from all different backgrounds, all different races, religions, beliefs, and creeds saying, keep going. And some days, you know, that are tough,
2:27:01 I just needed that letter. I needed to read that letter. And I feel like that's the Holy Spirit, you know, working through these folks to get to me, to give me that little boost that I need. Because this is hard, Alex, you know, I don't have to tell you this is hard on the soul. It's hard on a man, especially when you have a young family and you know what these people are capable of. But you know there's something in me that the Holy Spirit just whispers in the back of my mind and says keep going, keep building, you can do this. And that's what gets me going every day is the people around us, my family have a really solid support system, and the great people, the many millions of people on GAB that support us.
2:27:41 And it's that long arc of humanity and all our ancestors behind us that is so powerful and so amazing. So tell us, everybody watching, all these great activists, they need to go to Gab, they need to, how do they promote what you're doing? They get there, they post, they promote it, they tell folks about it. I mean, I can't wait for your success, which is already amazing, but I want to just get behind everything you're doing, Andrew. Yeah, just go to gab.com, sign up, create an account, tell your friends and family. I mean, the way that we grow 100% of our growth is through word of mouth. So, you know, we're growing, you know, just through people telling their friends and family. So that's the best way is get on the site, stop making money for these enemy platforms, allowing them to track you all across the web and siphon your data off to, you know, the big corporations who hate you. You know, that's the best way you can do it is tell people about us and get on there yourself and stop using these enemy platforms.
