Rumble has become a very important platform not just for like the maga right but anyone who kind of wants to succeed on the right. Parlor and gab have kind of descended so why did they not really work or take off? I would argue that you know that's twitter now or x as we now have to call it, i think even for the right wingers they still want to at least see some people unlike them.
Paris Marx is joined by Jacob Silverman to discuss how the right-wing of the tech industry are funding media platforms like Rumble to reshape the political discourse and why they’re helping Robert F. Kennedy Jr. challenge Joe Biden.
