After years of doing video interviews with other outlets, but rarely my own, we have decided to re-launch the Unlimited Hangout podcast as a video show. Our first episode is now live and features a discussion between myself and @markgoodw_in focusing on the first installment of our investigation into Polymarket and its origins and future ambitions.
Watch our pilot episode here:

We ultimately decided to publish on YouTube in part to try and fight against all of the channels impersonating me, with and without AI (though most seem to use it). Previously, YouTube would not let us report impersonators without having our own channel.
This channel is the only presence of Unlimited Hangout (and me!) on YouTube and I would really appreciate it if you all could help report these really annoying impostors who have been trying to cheapen and degrade my work and research for years now for their monetized clickbait garbage.
Note: Unlimited Hangout members get early access, not only to this episode and all future episodes, but also to our two demo episodes, which discuss data centers and the upcoming launch of X Money. If you'd like to join to support our journalism, the new show and obtain these perks (and more!) click the link in the tweet below this one.
i have some accounts on X impersonating me including @whitneywebb47 and @__WhitneyyWeb . X requires that I upload a govt ID to report these accounts myself, which I have never done for this site and have no intention of doing. Please either block or report these account for me if you want to help out, thanks!
These videos get tons of views, are churned out constantly and I have absolutely NOTHING to do with them.
Last year, when I declined to back a candidate in the 2024 election, I was labeled a "doomer" for subscribing to the view that Trump would not magically fix all of our problems and for pointing out that the PayPal mafia technocrats behind him are war and mass surveillance profiteers who are not "libertarians," as they often claim to be.
Beginning around the same time, these videos started to appear en masse with clickbait thumbnails (which I detest) that put in quote marks things I have NEVER said, many of which are extreme doom and gloom or doomsday predictions of specific things happening at specific times. The end result of these videos, which are now the top results when you search my name on YouTube, is to falsely create the impression I am spreading "doom" to neatly fit with the "doomer" and "blackpiller" label I was given after criticizing Peter Thiel, JD Vance and actions of the previous Trump administration.
They also discredit me by directly linking me to unsubstantiated predictions I have never made, and these channels are making money off of this. Another result is that it makes it very hard for people to find the actual interviews I give.
Since this began, a lot of my reporting on Thiel, Palantir (the company he co-founded), Palantir-Epstein overlap and several other things have been extremely vindicated over the last 9 months. However, it seems that my credibility is being attacked by a coordinated effort that includes these channels as well as a few journalists/pundits/influencers who are known to have taken money from Thiel-funded entities.
I would urge you to read my work for yourself and determine my credibility based off of my actual work, not on AI slop that is using my credibility without my consent to manipulate YOU and then monetize that manipulation.
Any suggestions about how to stop these videos are welcome. My efforts to report them and have YouTube remove them have been unsuccessful thus far.
@tedcruz Hey Ted, this is my daily reminder to check in with the people of Texas, the people you are supposed to be representing. This thing where you pretend Tucker hates all Jewish people is fake and gay
I ran into Hillary Clinton at the Doha Forum and asked about her recent claim that young people oppose Israel’s genocide in Gaza because they do “not know history” and are duped by “pure propaganda” on social media. She declined to answer.
