And Theo Vonn, like all these people just came out
of the woodwork to, even Elon Musk before,
like now he's seen as a huge loyalist to Trump,
but beforehand he wasn't an outright conservative guy.
So seeing all these people come out of the woodwork
and really influence culture and say,
hey, it's okay to like Trump.
I think that really shifted a lot of people's minds and they're like well
Maybe it's not as bad as the media saying that like legacy media lost they don't have the power of the people
They don't have influence over us anymore. So
All right Titus Smith is back what's up my brother, that's how you doing man first and fast for me
Oh really? Yeah, you're a vet in this space. Oh, yeah
I've been there a few years
I'm like I still feel like the newbie because there's so many people who got
our friends and like have these long-term connections and like I just I'm like, hey.
Yeah. It's been a great event though dude. That's some solid people. Oh dude, it's awesome. There's
so many great people, so many great speakers. It's just, and after the big win, it's like super
exciting because it's like a party. They're just so excited because it could have been super sad
or it could have been super exciting. Gays off the results in November 5th. So yeah, I think when you came on,
it wasn't decided yet, right? It was like, it was probably a few weeks or before. Yeah. Yeah. And
then a landslide victory. Lanslide. Crazy. Were you shocked? Uh, yes and no. I was, you know,
because of 2020, everyone in this space was super like, uh, what's going to happen. Obviously it
was a different time, the pandemic and everything, but like, I was a little nervous, but then on a lot, I had,
I was so confident because there were so many people that were not outspoken
about Trump in the past that were so like willing to like sacrifice their
careers to promote. Like, yeah, we got Bryce Hall, Aiden Ross, Joe Rogan,
Theo Vaughn, like all these people just came out of the woodwork to even Elon
Musk before, like now he's seen as a huge
loyalist to Trump, but beforehand he wasn't an outright conservative guy
So seeing all these people come out of the woodwork and really influence culture and say hey, it's okay to like Trump
I think that really shift a lot of people's minds and they're like, well Maybe he's not as bad as the media saying that like legacy media lost they don't have the power of the people
They don't have influence over us anymore. So that really shifted it
So I wasn't that surprised and on election night I was sitting there and I was like, he's going to win.
I felt the exact same way I did in 2016. I was just like with my friend Jordan and Xavier, a lot of
influencers in Florida. We were just like, we got this. I just feel like we got this. And then I
stayed up the whole time. I was up till 4 a.m. Oh, I was going to see the win. I was going to see it.
So yeah. Some of those states took forever to count. I know. Two weeks. I know it's still
counting after, but they called it because it was overwhelming.
But yeah, it was awesome.
They need to change that though. That's annoying.
I know. I know.
Next election, like, do you like the mail-ins?
No, no, because I think things can happen within that.
I mean, it is what it is.
Like if you're like serving in a war or something.
Yeah. I don't mean for those people.
Yeah. I think if you're someone who's like in your county, you're in your state, like
you're at home, go in.
You shouldn't be able to just mail it.
A little lazy.
You can drive a couple minutes down the road and do it.
Yeah. We'll see what they do in 28.
Yeah.
We'll see who the Democrats nominate.
Who do you predict?
Gavin Newscombe.
Not AOC?
No, no. It could be her too.
Pretty privileged.
They might think that they might like her. But anyways, she's scum. Not AOC. No, no. It could be her too. Pretty privileged.
They might think that they'll like her.
But anyways, she's hoping not.
She's not getting the same attention she used to get though.
No, people are like, she's unhinged to people.
Unhinged.
And then it's funny.
And then she has people like the view coming to her defense.
So it's not a good look.
It's not a good look.
Yeah.
So like we have Sunny Host in the same, oh, everyone's calling her this unhinged radical
and all she's for all these things that we disagree with.
I'm like, yeah, exactly.
We don't like that.
So yeah.
What'd you think of Don Lemon leaving Twitter?
It's like, okay, bro, you don't gotta announce your departure. Nobody cares.
Nobody cares.
Good riddance.
You're annoying.
Uh, he's just such a disingenuous communicator.
I see him have conversations with people and always moving the goalposts and
arguments and like, he just doesn't seem like a genuine person.
There's people on the left who I, well, who I respect.
Even if I disagree, I respect the fact that they're willing
to have a conversation and have dialogue.
I really want to know how you feel about your positions
and why you are there.
And like, even if we have opposing views, like,
you just care about what you care about, just like we do.
But you like, don't think of me as a villain.
You don't characterize me that way.
And you just want to like see America become better. I have no issue with
you being a leftist or a liberal with those opposing views. But when you're just hateful,
yeah, like disingenuous, it's just annoying. And then like I said, no one cares. Go, go,
go leave, leave Twitter. No one cares. He's someone I questioned their intentions. Yeah.
You know, one of those people you can't really figure out. You're like, is someone funding this or something? Exactly. You know, we just don't, you, you have fire from CNN
and all you do is propagating and they're same talking points. I got you fired. I'm going to get
you fired, but there's no propagating that nonsense. But you have fired because people
don't trust you. You're not, you lost your viewership because you were just inauthentic.
Yeah. So yeah. Would you debate Harry Sisson?
I would have a conversation with Harry Sisson, yes.
I don't like the, the premise of a debate is so like convoluted with negative connotations
now that's just like, you're just trying to win.
It's trying to get a gotcha moment.
Yeah.
It's like, can we just talk about why you actually think this way?
I don't want to debate.
I saw that you had a conversation with him.
I don't do debates either. Yeah. I don't like that because it's just, it's too, I don't want to debate. I saw that you had a conversation with him. I don't do debates either.
Yeah, yeah. I don't like that because it's just, it's too, I don't want to argue with
you. I want to like really...
Shout out.

it's okay for five-year-olds to begin a transition why do you think it's okay to
like force us to pay for those transitions like explain to me how
that's ethical it's enemy how that's moral health right like these are issues
fundamental like psychological issues that people have and you're trying to
say it's fun why are you saying that yeah so but that people have. And you're trying to say, it's fine. Why are you saying that?
Yeah.
But I wouldn't be like, you're this, and this, and this, and like, you know,
trying to get them in a got you.
I just would want to understand how they come, how they come to that conclusion.
Yeah, it's OK.
When I had David Pacman on, I was just trying to have a conversation,
but he wanted to debate me.
They always want to debate.
They want to make you look stupid, which is like shows you're not
coming from a genuine place. You want to come in and make to make you look stupid, which is like shows you're not coming from a genuine place.
You want to come in and make like make your side look like the intelligent side. Like we're the smart ones.
And it's like who wins the debate does not mean who is right.
Right.
It's all about who has is more well-researched or at least can articulate what they've learned in a better way that you know translates to people.
100%.
It doesn't mean that you are, your points are right.
It just means you argued them better.
Yeah.
And so like, that's why debates stupid to me.
Cause we're not actually getting anywhere.
We're just getting gotcha moments in unnecessary anger.
You could have a losing take, but if you're good at debating, like if you did
debate team growing up, you can win with that thing.
Exactly.
So I agree with you.
You can just move the goalposts and like people don't ever realize that you like
switched up what they were even trying to say and cause you're like, they're thinking they're in good faith and it's like wait, hold on
No, no, and they kind of get like stuck and so it's just you're not it's not helpful. Yeah
Are you excited to finally get rid of your shadow band now? Dude, man
It's it's crazy how they happen, you know, like they just take videos down
They'll hide you and it's like I know they I don they just take videos down, they'll hide you,
and it's like, I know, I don't just go viral,
insane amount, and then just stop.
People don't just stop watching.
You have so many people, I was following you,
and now I'm not, I subscribed to you, and now I'm not.
Man, why are my, your videos aren't showing up
in my For You page, your videos aren't showing up.
And I'm like, yeah, I'm so excited for that.
I'm so excited to see Trump like,
make sure that everyone's equally represented.
That's what people love about X.
It's like Elon Musk is like, you can say what you want if you're an extreme crazy leftist.
You can say what you want if you're an extreme crazy rightist.
And I mean, unfortunately, he does allow porn on there.
But it's still great.
He allows them to do that.
It's all about do what you want to do.
Unless you're breaking the law.
You got a lot of engagement on that.
That PO.
I saw some porn stars in your comment section.
Well, if you have a problem, just say that.
I'm like, it's not about having a problem.
A lot of people have problems and a lot of people struggle
and that doesn't need to be there.
That's an intimate thing that people,
there's between two individuals that doesn't need to be
promoted for financial gain. And there's a lot of psychological issues that. That's an intimate thing to people. There's between two individuals that doesn't need to be promoted for financial
gain.
And there's a lot of psychological issues that come with people that are addicted
to that.
They don't mean, hey, that you get from that is on parallel with like cocaine
and like drugs.
It's a legit problem.
And they just kind of dismiss it.
So, oh, if you ever like, it's trying to like, like I said, trying to make people
look bad and shame them.
They're like things that it's like, no, this is fundamentally wrong and it shouldn't be done.
You shouldn't be profiting off something so intimate between two individuals.
So I still stand by that.
They centralize women in media too. They do it on TV shows, movies.
And under 18 by the way. That's the creepy part. I mean,
looking at all this Disney stuff, it's almost like these women are being groomed.
Really? And it's, it's, man, it's so frustrating to see like the way holl... And then people are calling it out now.
Yeah, it's like, what are you, why are you doing? Why was it so normalized? Because in social, like
in the real world, it wasn't like crazy or it wasn't like done like that. Like people weren't accepting insane like lifestyles and insane things,
but because they are now that they're seeing the TV, you can notice it even more. It's like, Oh, you're really propagating this terrible, disgusting, like sexualization.
You can't turn on the TV show without seeing a porn scene. Yeah. You can't. It's like soft porn. I just wanted to watch a good story. Yeah. Why are you filming me? You can't go like when I fly, I watch movies. You can't even pull up a movie without a porn scene. Yeah. It's kind of awkward. If it came out in 2018 or 2014 to now, it's just porn.
Yeah.
It's soft porn. I'm like, fast forward.
It's affecting the psychology of a lot of men.
And women probably too.
But just think about the way that men like look at women.
Like women get some men are trash. Men only see us as objects.
It's like you present yourself as an object.
Like there's a reason why guys are more attracted to in the long because they don't they don't
understand the difference between i'm attracted to you for tonight and i'm attracted to you for
life yeah like if you're dressed super provocatively and you're a beautiful girl yeah they're gonna be
you're gonna get the attention that you want you're gonna get a guy that's gonna want to talk to you
but he would never want to marry you he would you want. You're going to get a guy that's going to want to talk to you, but he would never want
to marry you.
He would never want to take you home to his mom.
Like they just don't want to do that.
But if you get a girl who's like, covers herself up, is modest, you can look, be fancy or you
can be fashionable and modest and look beautiful and show your shape even in a nice, you know,
covering or covered up fit.
Guys are going to be attracted and drawn to that, because they know,
okay, this woman is mine.
She's not for the streets, as people say.
She's not for the world.
She doesn't care to probably show her body off to look.
And I don't do it for you, I do it for me.
Then take your picture at home, on your camera roll,
and look at it whenever you want a confidence boost.
You don't need to post it on the world.
You don't need to go around the world
and let everyone see how big you are,
or how fit you are, or whatever.
So you know what you're doing, and that's just, the guys are going to treat it the way
that they are. Like you can say, yeah.
And you got a thousand guys about to sleep with Lily Phillips.
Yeah. That's just sad. Like why are you subjecting yourself to that?
She looked broken. She was crying.
That video. Yeah.
Yeah. And then she's like, trying to play it off like, oh no, I'm fine. And I'm going
to do a thousand now. And it's like, she's like a clearly very disturbed woman.
She's obviously had a lot of trauma in her life.
The fact that her mom is like her manager or something
is just so disheartening.
Imagine raising a child, seeing them from infancy,
seeing them in their toddler stage,
seeing them so innocent and pure,
and you're managing their porn like business.
That is insane to me.
You are not a good mother.
That is demonic.
Where's the father?
Yeah, where is the dad?
Man, dad would not allow that.
No, absolutely not.
And if you, except for apparently that one Nala girl,
her dad, her dad like got money from her.
Like he was a pastor.
I'm like, that's what?
That's like her.
Is that the redhead girl?
Yeah.
I heard that her dad was like a pastor.
And he was like, he's not taking money from her
and didn't mind her doing it because he was going to take
a good pay cut out of it. Which just shows like the love of, I'm not exposed to money.
I think having money is fine. Being a millionaire is fine. But the love of money is rooted in
all kinds of evil. And that's so true because you see with all these things, whether it
be pedophilia, trafficking, anything, people are willing to do immoral, evil things for
profit. Only fans on a smaller scale, immoral, wrong,
but you can make millions of dollars from it.
So if you're running out, what, 40 million?
43.
43 million dollars for like soft porn
or whatever she's doing.
I don't know if she's actually really or not.
Yeah, I don't know.
She says she doesn't, but it's so disgusting.
And it's like, really people will do anything for money.
And that's why it says in the book, the love of it,
not having money, but the love of it
is the root of all kinds of evil. Cause you're willing to do evil, immoral, corrupt things just for a bag.
Absolutely. It's messed up, man. Where can people find you and what do you got coming up next?
You can find me on all platforms, Titus L Smith. It's literally the whole name.
I don't know why I did the three name thing, but I just did and I am sticking with it.
So Titus L Smith on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and yeah, you can find me there.
Boom. Check them out guys. Smith on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and yeah, you can find me there. Boom, check him out guys, peace.
Peace.
