Thanks for not shying away from Rumble as a "right wing platform". True, it leans conservative for now, but any emerging platform will lean one way or another. Free speech is free speech, and platforms that celebrate that should be rewarded with more and varying speech.

Rumble grew two sizes with this news today, along with Tulsi's announcement.

I am freaking thrilled. Now go get Tiabbi, and on to Scott Horton, Bill Maher, Jimmy Dore, to name a few.

Im a conservative and welcome honest liberal voices who welcome open debate.

This is America. Thumbs way tf up!

Thank you Glenn. I am so grateful for Substack and Rumble. You know, I don't remember voting for Pichai (google & youtube), Dorsey (Twitter), Zuckerberg (fb) or for that matter, Bezos (Wapo, and the man who silenced Parler)....Who are these people to dictate what we can and can't say and/or read? They have betrayed the implicit trust that we placed in them. We should all work hard to support the genuine free speech platforms in every way possible.

This is an amazing and urgently-needed initiative. Thank you Glenn for truly igniting a Promethean fire under the asses of the imperial mouth pieces known as the MSM, and their oligarchical overlords.

Hopefully many more will join you such that you can build a block that causes the MSM to crumble, as if before our eyes.

The modern Gods of Olympus think they are infallible. They believe humanity is just a bunch of blank slates incapable of making any genuine creative leap or axiomatic change. Their misanthropic and Malthusian view prevents them from really seeing it any other way. We are just blank slates; no ideas which they do not sanction will ever be able to take off.

If the population is demoralized, it won't fight back. If the perception is that nothing can be done and the fight is over, then people become willing to think (and do) the unthinkable. But if they believe there is still a chance, that the fight is not over, and that it can be won, then those in power have a serious problem on their hands.

As the poet Shelley once wrote in his poem "The Mask of Anarchy":

"Rise like Lions after slumber

In unvanquishable number—

Shake your chains to earth like dew

Which in sleep had fallen on you—

Ye are many—they are few."

You and some others are the tip of a new and very sharp spear. Hopefully the manipulative and very dishonest corporate media outlets can be exposed and shamed into just going away. Probably not but over time they might be reduced to the statues of supermarket tabloids and be ignored by all but the most gullible among us. Good Luck. Subscription web sites are the future and the future in NOW.

Glenn, you should really start using archive.is links instead of giving WaPo and others clicks. Plus it helps protect against their "stealth edits".

Thanks for strengthening free speech by weakening YouTube! Choosing Rumble will attract viewers to it and those Rumble viewers will attract independent journalists. It's pathetic that Youtubers are forced to self-censor so that they won't be demonetized and banned. I hope the politically correct Canadian government will not censor or shut down Rumble - make your content portable. There will always be a government somewhere that allows free speech.

Best wishes for this endeavor! I look forward to being a part of it!

Thank you Glenn. Your analysis of deceptive slander by Bezos/CIA newspaper WaPo is outstanding.

Poor AI technology WaPo "journalist", Drew Harwell, there got a massive CIA assistance to concoct "his" article.

In the US there is still left unexplored the huge role of UK in concocting the lies and propaganda, e.g., the Russia-gate hoax, including Scripal and Navalny "poisonings" and US+UK fabrications of OPCW reports on Syria -- fully exposed by top experts at OPCW. Corporate media in both US and UK is FULLY integrated in secret services gigantic apparatus of our War party oligarchs.

Note how, in desperation and sensing the danger, DNC/CIA handlers instructed their "progressive" media servants e.g., TYT's despicable Cenk & Ana to go on maximally unhinged attack on the Gray-zone high-integrity team and, especially, on its truly outstanding and high-integrity journalist Aaron Mate.

Free the publisher of a century and leading free speech advocate, Julian Assange, tortured by the UK and US establishment

Congrats. Keep up the good work. Eventually, the Washington Post will become the journalistic equivalent of Sears or Westinghouse some other industry leader that went by the wayside.

Cool, this is so great! I am listening to your first Rumble broadcast right now. Substack plus Rumble is a great combo for those of us who demand free speech.

Thank you. I joined Rumble but will likely never upload anything. I just had my 73d birthday and believe it was my last. I don't have the strength or time to do so. You give me hope.

It leans "conservative"? I no longer know what that means. Conservatives and Liberals are little different in adherence to the principles of Western post-enlightenment liberalism. It's the loud-mouthed fringe on left and right that are illiberal.

Mark Levin lowered the boom on 19 Republican Senators with this warning

On Sean Hannity’s show, Mark Levin ripped the 19 Republicans who voted for Joe Biden’s $1.2 trillion spending bill for supporting tyranny.

The popular talk show host questioned how anyone could read a 2,700 page bill in just a matter of days.

Levin told the audience that “we choose liberty but the 19 Republicans in the Senate chose tyranny. Biden chooses tyranny and every single Democrat lockstep is for tyranny. How many people know what’s in that 2,700 page document that just passed today, with the 19 Republicans?”

Levin referred to these 19 RINOs – led by Mitch McConnell and Mitt Romney – as the “Bernie Madoffs” of the Republican Party because they are con artists trying to fool voters into thinking they are fiscal conservatives while supporting Biden’s big-spending agenda, which is driving skyrocketing inflation.

You're frightening the legacy media - means you're doing something right. I was 30 years a reporter and editor and daily newspapers medium and major metro. They've been promoting mediocrity for decades, and are now seeing the results. Rather than adapt, they deny and attack.

I don't see how Rumble is exactly a free speech platform after reading their Terms of Service (https://rumble.com/s/terms), the usual culprits are there:

"Rumble enables creators of Content to submit Content to the Rumble Service in accordance with the Agency Options set forth below. Under no circumstances shall the following be submitted to the Rumble Service:

7. Content or material that is grossly offensive to the online community, including but not limited to, racism, anti-semitism and hatred;

13. Any other Content or material that Rumble in its sole, unfettered, and arbitrary discretion, determines is undesirable on the Rumble Service.
