And Theo Vaughn, like all these people just came out of the woodwork to even Elon Musk before, like you're now he's seen as a huge loyalist to Trump.
But beforehand, he wasn't as alt-right conservative a 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 he's not as bad as the media is saying.
And 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?
What's up?
How you doing, man?
First AmFest for me.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Your event in this space.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I've been there a few years and I'm like, I still feel like the newbie because there's so many people here that are 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.
Yeah, 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 this could have been super sad or it could have been super exciting.
Gays update was also November 5th.
So yeah, I think when you came on, it wasn't decided yet, right?
It was like,
was probably a few weeks or before yeah yeah and then a landslide victory lands 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 gonna 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, you got Bryce Hall, Aiden Ross, Joe Rogan, Theo Vaughn, like all these people just came out of the woodwork.
So even Elon Musk before, like, now he's seen as a huge loyalist to Trump.
But beforehand, he wasn't as alt-right conservative a 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 are like, well, maybe he's not as bad as the media is saying.
And then like legacy media lost.
They don't have the power of the people.
They don't have influence over us anymore.
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 my friend Jordan and Xavier a lot of influencers in Florida.
And 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, do you like the mailings?
No, no, because I think anything things can happen within that.
I mean, it is what it is.
Like, if you're like
serving in or a war or something yeah you i don't mean for those people yeah yeah i don't i think if you're someone who's like in you're in your county you're in your state like you're at home go go in yeah you shouldn't be able to just mail it live 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 who do you predict gavin newscomb not aoc
oh it could be her too pretty privileged like might think though they might not like her yeah anyways she's hoping not she's not getting the same like attention she used to get though.
No, people are like, she's like unhinged to people.
Unhinged.
And then it's funny.
And then she has people like the view coming to her defense, but it's not a good look.
It's not a good look.
Yeah.
So like we have Sonny Host and the same, oh, everyone's calling her this unhinged radical.
And oh, 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 got to announce your departure.
Nobody cares.
Nobody cares.
Good riddance.
You're annoying.
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 and 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, 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,
like disingenuous, it's just annoying.
And then, like I said, no one cares.
Go, go, go, go, leave, leave Twitter.
No one cares.
He's someone I question 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 were just on, you, bro, you got fired from CNN and all you're doing is propagating their same talking points that got you fired.
I mean, they get you fired, but because they're still propagating that nonsense.
But you get fired because people don't trust you.
You're not, you lost your viewership because you were just
on inauthentic yeah so yeah would you debate harry sisson
i would have a conversation with harry system yes i 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 the you debate or had a conversation with it.
I don't do debates either.
Yeah, yeah, it's me.
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 to today's sponsor, Prolon.
If starting a year with a fast feels a little daunting, you're not alone.
There's an entire community of individuals wanting to make a meaningful decision in their health, just like you.
This is what makes group fasting so powerful and why I'm joining in on Prolon's January Longevity Challenge, which is a coach-led program to set you up for fasting success.
Prolon's Fasting Mimicking Diet is a revolutionary plant-based nutrition program that nourishes the body while making cells believe they're fasting.
I got all five boxes here, and I'm starting day one tomorrow.
It's researched and developed for decades at USC's Longevity Institute and backed by leading U.S.
medical centers.
It helps promote healthy blood sugar, enhanced skin appearance, fat loss, and improved energy and focus.
It all starts with their five-day program, which contains snacks, soups, and beverages designed to keep the body in a fasting state, no guesswork or planning required, which is a relief after a busy holiday.
If you guys are ready to make 2025 your healthiest year yet, order your Prolon 5-day kit at prolonlife.com/slash DSH.
And they're offering digital social hour listeners 15% off their five-day nutrition program.

Understand why you think that way in a good faith conversation.
Well, why do you think that 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.
Explain to me how that's moral.
Like these are issues, fundamental like psychological issues that people have.
And you're trying to say it's fine.
Why are you saying that?
Yeah.
So, but I wouldn't be like, you're this and this and this.
And like, you know, try and get them in a goximum.
I just would want to understand how they come, how they come to that conclusion.
Yeah, that's okay.
When I had David Pac-Man 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, 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
is more well researched or at least can articulate what they've learned.
uh in a better way that it you know translates to people that 100 it doesn't mean that you are, your points are right.
It just means you argue to them better.
Yeah.
And so, like, that's why debate's stupid to me because 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 take.
Exactly.
So I agree with you.
You can just move the goalposts and like, people don't even realize that you like switched up what they were even trying to say.
And because you're like, what they're thinking 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.
It's not helpful.
Yeah.
Are you excited to finally get rid of your shadow ban now?
Dude, man,
it's, it's crazy how that happened, you know?
Like they just take videos down.
They'll hide you.
And it's like, I know, like, I don't just go viral an insane amount and then just stop.
The people don't just stop watching.
And you have so many people, I was following you and now I'm not.
I was subscribed to you and now I'm not.
Yeah.
Man, why are my videos weren'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 extreme crazy right alt-rightist.
And he, I mean, unfortunately, he does allow porn on there,
but it's still,
it's great.
He allows them to
do that.
So 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 that.
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.
It's about a lot of people have problems and a lot of people struggle.
And that doesn't need to be there.
It'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 come with people that are addicted to that.
The dope
that you get from that is on parallel with like cocaine and like drugs.
It's like this is a legit problem.
And they just kind of dismiss it.
So, oh, if you have a problem, like 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.
Like on TV shows, movies.
Oh, yeah.
And under 18, by the way.
Yeah, really.
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 Holly.
And 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 gun 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.
You understand?
I'm like, I just wanted to watch a good story.
Yeah.
Why are you filming me this?
You can't go like when I fly, I watch movies.
You can't even pull up a movie without a porn scene.
Yeah, if it's kind kind of off.
If it came out in 2018
or 2014 to now, it's just porn.
Yeah, it's no soft porn.
I'm like, fast forward, but
it's affecting the psychology of a lot of men and women probably too.
But you think about the way that men like look at women.
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.
Like, if you're addressed super provocatively and you're a beautiful girl, yeah, they're gonna bet you're gonna get attention that you want, you're gonna get a guy that's gonna want to talk to you, but he he would never want to marry you, he would never want to take you home to his mom.
Like, they just want, they just don't want to do that.
But if you, 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 like 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.
I was like, 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, 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 asleep with Lily Phillips.
Yeah.
That's just sad.
Like, why are you subjecting yourself to that?
She looked broken.
See 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 what I heard.
Is that the redhead girl?
Yeah.
I heard that her dad was like a pastor and he was like, he said, taking money from her and didn't mind her doing it because he was getting a good paid cut out of it.
It just shows like the love of I'm not opposed to money.
I think having money is fine.
Being a millionaire is fine.
But the love of money is the root of 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 sophie rain got what 40 million 43 43 million dollars for like soft porn or like whatever she's doing i don't know if she's actually a reveal or not yeah 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 about the love of it, not having money, but the love of it is the root of all kinds of evil because you're willing to do evil, immoral, corrupt things just for a bag.
Absolutely, yeah, it's messed up, man.
Where can people find you, and what do you got coming up next?
Uh, 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 uh, yeah, you can find me there.
Boom, check them out, guys.
Peace.
Thanks, peace.
