You have to wonder how Jennifer Tarlov manages to play one on four on "The Five", except when you consider the cognitive limitations of the other four, ESPECIALLY WATTERS.

I remember Tammy Bruce on late night AM radio (whatever syndicate carried the RWNJ screamers) 20+ years ago.

Back then she was conservative but not yet a jihadist.

Bruce cracks me up because she’s basically on the brink of an emotional meltdown every time she speaks. Watters is as dumb as bricks. I don’t know how he functions. He’s just charisma and eyebrows.

Could you get wider support if you put this on YouTube? Maybe a way to build your base.

This is audio. Producing a video with clips like this would be more than I could handle by myself. The audio version takes a couple of hours to go through it, clean it up, etc. It's not live with one take. I sometimes redo sections several times Doing this as a video would be a huge undertaking especially since I use media clips. I'd have to stop, somehow get the video on the screen, play the video, go back to being on screen myself. I'm following a script at least part of the time so that's a teleprompter, then a screen for the video, and I have honestly no idea how I would fit all of that in. I can barely finish these on time. I usually end in the middle of the night or have to finish it Tuesday morning as I did today.

That is what I thought. It is definitely a lot more work, and you are not ready to hire staff. I wish you well in building the base. I am contributing what I can.

I don't make enough to survive yet so I definitely can't hire staff or any help. The fastest growing sector in media is audio podcasts, not Youtube shows, and the beauty of podcasts is they are much easier and cheaper to produce. There's a lot of low quality garbage on YouTube too where it's just people talking with no depth and no research. Someone like Brian Tyler Cohen has a staff. I contacted him once over a video he used of mine and he was great, he got right back to me but I could tell he had people who worked for him. He does quality work but it took him years to get to the level he's at now.
