| Alright, as you may have heard, we are making massive changes here at The Rubin Report. | ||
| Starting right now, as I say these very words, we are officially creating, producing, and funding the show ourselves. | ||
| And when I say ourselves, I don't only mean my team, but you too. | ||
| My crew and I are leaving our comfy home at Aura TV and going completely independent. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| For now on, this show about critical thinking, open debate and free speech will be for you and fueled by you, the fans. | ||
| It took us about two years to get our first 100,000 YouTube subscribers and we've gotten another 110 in the last five months. | ||
| We know that something special is going on here. | ||
| You guys email me, tweet me, and tell me this on the street every single day. | ||
| And now is our chance to really blow this thing out of the water. | ||
| We're going to be building a badass new studio to create more content than ever before. | ||
| And when I say we, I'm talking not only about myself, but my all-star team. | ||
| My incredible producer David, who's also a master chef. | ||
| Oh, and happens to be my husband. | ||
| As well as our head of production, Amira, who is a television and digital video mastermind, as well as an editing machine and a craft beer enthusiast. | ||
| We are a lean, mean, well-oiled machine and have been working together for over two years. | ||
| This is just the beginning, though, and we can't wait for what comes next. | ||
| With our new independent production company, we plan to bring multiple episodes of The Rubin Report per week, and so much more. | ||
| Not only will we do more interviews, but we hope to take the show on the road, to be able to fly in bigger guests, launch new segments, and be totally free to make any and all executive decisions on our own. | ||
| Here's where you come in. | ||
| We can't do this without you, literally. | ||
| We realize the best way to share these ideas is to be beholden to nobody but our fans. | ||
| You guys have helped us grow and share our message across the world. | ||
| David, Amira, and I all voluntarily gave up our salaries, health insurance, and stability to make this dream a reality, but we genuinely can't do it without you. | ||
| We found an incredible studio here in LA and have an amazing opportunity to build it out as we like. | ||
| Now we need funding for equipment like lights, cameras, microphones, mixers, and a video switcher to streamline our production process. | ||
| And of course, I need you guys to help pay my team. | ||
| Forget about me, these two are incredible professionals who could make a lot more working for Network TV. | ||
| They believe in me, I believe in them, and I hope you guys believe in all of us. | ||
| So how do you get in on the action? | ||
| Well, we don't want to put our videos behind a paywall, but there is an option for you to donate monthly so we can continue bringing you great content. | ||
| Patreon is the perfect way of picking a monthly amount you're cool with and helping us expand the Rubin Report. | ||
| We've totally revamped our Patreon page so you can get plenty of great perks depending on your level of patronage. | ||
| I know some of you will be able to give a lot, some of you a little, and some of you right in between. | ||
| For real, every dollar counts for us not only to grow, but to keep the Rubin Report on the air. | ||
| We've come so far and really helped change the debate, but we're just at the beginning. | ||
| I know what we need just to stay afloat, what we need to grow, what we need to really expand, and what we need to take this thing to a whole new level altogether. | ||
| You guys are now directly involved in making any level of these dreams become realities by becoming a patron. | ||
| The messages that you all send me from across the globe are beyond inspiring and absolute proof that ideas are the most powerful force out there. |
