That does not include the various clips and shorts that people made and posted themselves. It is incredible how the reach and influence of the independent media has grown over the past decade or so.

As I have often said, while there are many evil things out there on the Internet, at the same time we have the tools to communicate the unfiltered message of freedom like never before.

Even though Tucker Carlson's show on Fox News was enormously popular – number one in the nation – the network still yanked the show from underneath him because they didn't like some of the things he was saying.

Now, Tucker and other independent media figures answer not to studio executives with their own agendas, but rather they answer directly to the American people in the marketplace of ideas. Carlson's reach as an independent is arguably greater than when he was on Fox.
