I love TikTok.
I'm on Tiktok watching a video.
>> My God, are you a TikToker?
>> That's strong language.
>> Strong.
>> Yeah, because I believe- >> I wanna be a Tiktoker.
>> I believe wearing the badge of TikToking,
you need to actually post content.
Like I've said before, I only have one video up there that I posted while I was
high and it was- >> But that's on your account.
On the Young Turks account, there's tons of video.
>> That's true.
The team TikTok's on my behalf.
>> That's definitely true.
And then the- >> And
I appreciate that cuz the world loves me on TikTok, specifically.
Other platforms, it's before the conservative invasion, basically.
>> Yeah, that's what we're talking about that last night.
>> Yeah. >> So look real quick.
So the reason Anna says that is because we didn't post it.
But somebody else posted the now legendary rant of Anna saying,
I don't have to believe in your Bible.
>> Yeah. >> So you should look at-
>> I don't care what the Bible says.
And so it's a TBS estimate of ours were eyeballing it based
on the number of videos we've seen in their view counts, but
it looks like that might have gotten about 50 million views on TikTok.
>> The people love me.
>> So I don't know anyone who's more of a Tiktoker than you.
>> Thank you.
>> Given the number of views that you've gotten there.
And that actually goes to another reason why I love TikTok,
one that I already told you was cuz you guys are the only ones taking action.
Remember how they embarrassed Donald Trump in the Oklahoma-
>> Yes.
>> Rally that he had while pretending that they were all coming and
then he's like, he's so excited that nobody showed up.
>> It's empty.
>> It was great, I love you guys, okay?
And I want you to be the change in the world that we all want, okay?
And so I wanna encourage that.
But the second reason is it's like a place of sanity and
I know that sounds funny, right?
It's just- >> But the rest of the media is so
corrupted by corporate rule but they haven't gotten to TikTok.
>> Not yet, not yet.
>> I know.
>> And it's also really funny.
I know a lot of people who use TikTok do the same thing and
it's so easy to get lost in just watching videos
in the discover page, just watching fun.
People are really funny and creative.
But I realized, I'm gonna fight this, I'm gonna try to get better.
But I realized how I'm starting to get a little out of touch with
the technology because I don't know how they put the videos together.
I did one video, but, man, I was stoned.
So maybe that's why it was so tough.
>> No, are you kidding?
>> But it's tough, it's too complicated.
There's too many features I don't know what to use, I don't know how to use it.
How do you guys do so many different cuts?
>> So there's a Aaron on our team who's the head of our publishers general,
the commander of the armies of the east.
Okay, as we call them cuz we got a Pittsburgh office that Aaron has.
Aaron always tells me how to put up stuff.
>> Yeah.
>> So I wanted to put up my own TikTok videos and he's like, are you sure, Doug?
>> No, you dont.
>> [LAUGH] Okay, I know I do, I do, on the Young Turks account, okay?
>> No, no, no, no, no.
>> I'm gonna figure it out.
I'm gonna figure it out. >> Don't ruin it.
>> [LAUGH] >> Look at her.
>> No, don't let him, Aaron, don't let him do it.
>> [LAUGH] Okay, I'm threatening to use our TikTok account myself.
I want you all, all of you TikTokers have been warned I'm coming and
I'm bringing hell with me.
At least technology hell [LAUGH] cuz I'm gonna butcher it.
>> No, don't do it.
I know exactly what those videos are gonna be.
It's gonna be you in your backyard with the flowery bush behind you.
>> Totally. >> The camera's gonna be right in
your face.
>> Yes, that's what the people want.
>> Cuz you'll be screaming at the Democrats, which is fine, and
you're gonna be all scruffy and stuff because you have to shave for the show.
>> You know why?
Cuz I'm a man.
>> And you'll be like that because the media wants to
kiss the ass like [LAUGH] >> You go, hey, I look good there, man.
I don't know what you're doing.
>> That's actually a pretty good one.
>> That is a really good one.
>> [LAUGH] >> There you go, okay.
>> So good, don't do it though.
>> But you know what? I think we got TikTokers excited now and
they're like, I think Jake's coming here comes Jake, okay?
[LAUGH] >> I don't know [LAUGH]
>> In fact, TikTok, TikTok.
>> Just use the other platforms, why TikTok?
>> No. >> TikTok's different.
>> No, you know why I wanna use TikTok, in all seriousness because of what I
just said, because TikTok is actually trying to lead on change and
they're doing it organically.
It's uncorrupted.
So I love that community.
>> Yeah. >> That community is pure.
And so- >> It's pure.
[LAUGH] Listen to this guy, [INAUDIBLE] they're pure.
>> Yeah, they're not like the corporate videos kissing the ass of Democrats and
all, right.
And then we did warn you Conservatives are coming.
So TikTok, be careful.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay.
>> You know when they're gonna come?
When you start posting videos on there.
>> Okay, but I gotta get there before they do.
By the way, they already post tons of Young Turks videos.
You're gonna love it on TikTok but
I wanna do some that are immediate with my face right up here, okay?
You need the face that close to the camera.
You know you need a TikTok.
>> [LAUGH] >> And when the Conservatives come,
they're just gonna invade the place and they come with money, right?
>> Yeah. >> So sir to form hat comes with a bag of
money, right?
Like a monopoly figure.
And then goes, here, corrupt this platform.
So I wanna arrive with my close face before they get there.
>> Yeah.
>> Because if we're established, then they can eat our dirty socks.
