Truth Social CEO Devin Nunes appears on QAnon show and praises the host for “getting the truth out”

DEVIN NUNES (TRUTH SOCIAL CEO): People want freedom and they will find it. And I think the best example is you and your listeners and viewers. And I say that because — I kind of told you at the beginning of this, at the beginning of this show here about, you know, how I found you. I just happened to see what — you know, I remember at night watching this, what the hell is this X22 Report? I just had never heard of it before. No offense, Dave. I just hadn’t heard of it. 

“DAVE” (HOST): No offense taken.

NUNES: And, I was like — and I was talking to Chris [Pavlovski], the CEO of Rumble, and I said, “What the hell is this?” He’s like, “Oh yeah. The guy is huge. He’s got this massive following.” And so then I just started kind of paying attention. Every once in a while, I’d watch your — watch your show. But what did it for me was — I was in a — I just got a car picked up from the airport. And this was, this was probably a couple of months ago. And, anyway, a guy recognized me, started chitchatting with me about Truth Social and about Rumble and I was like, “Oh yeah, what do you, you know, what are you” — you know, I always like to hear what people have to say, you know, who they, who they watch, who they follow. He’s like, “Oh yeah, man. It’s the only place” — the guy just — out of, he goes, “X22, that’s the — that’s where I get my information. He’s the only guy that tells the truth.” 

“DAVE”: Wow.

NUNES: And I was like, “Wow.” I mean, that’s, you know, that’s some serious — you know, so you have, like, you’ve got hundreds of thousands of people that are out there following you and you’re getting the truth out and they’re coming to you because you know, because look, you’re just a guy who is evaluating the news and information and clearly people want to hear what you have to say.

…

I mean, the other thing they’re doing to the few — and sorry, I know you’re — we’re ending. But something that maybe you could cover in the future and that is one of the real risks here is that a lot of the brand advertisers, you know, they won’t advertise with X22 Report or Breitbart or Truth Social or Rumble. And that’s a big problem because — and it’s a big problem in the future because it shows — back to the SEC. The SEC is truly not out there protecting the American people because if they were, they’d be out there saying, well, wait a second. Why are you spending so much money advertising on, say, Twitter or Facebook or CNN? Because if you compared the numbers, you know, the returns have to be a lot better, in terms of click-through rates and people that would buy if they advertised on a whole host of conservative podcasters to videocasters to simulcast to a Truth Social, etc.
