Which right-leaning shows are on the rise on YouTube?
The Officer Tatum Show, The Quartering, The Colion Noir Podcast, Keeping It Real with Jillian Michaels, The Tim Dillon Show, and Pints with Aquinas are all growing their audience
Written by Kayla Gogarty
Research contributions from Jack Winstanley
Published 10/29/26
Following a July 31 study from The New York Times that showed the audience of right-wing political content creators has declined, Media Matters reviewed its database of popular online shows and their audience sizes and assessed which right-leaning online shows have conversely seen their audiences on YouTube grow.
For this study, we compared YouTube subscriber growth and channel views across two five-month periods, collecting data in late October 2025, late March 2026, and the end of August 2026 to identify right-leaning online shows that had increased subscriber growth and more views on YouTube over this roughly 10-month time frame.
Like The New York Times, we found that the growth of most of the right-wing political creators has declined — both in subscriber growth and views. Chaotic Era's Kyle Tharp had similar findings, writing on October 1 that “the loudest partisan voices have struggled to grow their audiences” on YouTube in the third quarter of 2026.
However, Media Matters found several right-leaning online shows that cover news and politics but self-identify in cultural categories have seen growth on YouTube in recent months — reinforcing our previous findings that right-wing content has seeped into supposedly nonpolitical spaces, including programs focused on society and culture, entertainment, comedy, and more. While these shows can be found on podcast platforms under these cultural categories, they contain extremist rhetoric, such as calling Islam “evil,” alleging a “Muslim takeover” and that someone is “a trans jihadi,” and claiming “MLK was a fraud.”
Key findings:
We found 6 right-leaning online shows that self-identify in cultural categories but cover news and politics have seen subscriber growth on YouTube in recent months: Brandon Tatum's The Officer Tatum Show, Jeremy Hambly's The Quartering, The Colion Noir Podcast, Keeping It Real with Jillian Michaels, The Tim Dillon Show, and Matt Fradd's Pints with Aquinas. These shows often platform right-wing personalities and promote right-wing narratives and misinformation, with some hosts also having documented histories of extremism.
We identified 3 right-leaning news and politics shows that had an increase in viewership by tens of millions, even if their subscriber growth declined: The Glenn Beck Program, The Tucker Carlson Show, and The Matt Walsh Show.
We also identified 5 right-leaning online shows with hundreds of millions of views from March through August — a significant audience even though they saw their YouTube subscriber growth and viewership decline compared to the preceding months. These included the Shawn Ryan Show, Asmongold, and The Iced Coffee Hour, as well as 2 of the right-wing creators assessed in The New York Times’ study — Benny Johnson and Megyn Kelly.
The New York Times: Right-wing political content creators like Benny Johnson “have seen their viewerships decline,” including on YouTube
The New York Times’ Stuart Thompson assessed “the shifting power of the online influencers” and found that only a few of a dozen right-wing political content creators “saw their audiences grow” after President Donald Trump’s second inauguration, “while many more have seen their viewerships decline.”
The shifts add to a growing body of evidence that suggests the audience for pro-Trump content has fallen from its heights and, for some creators, has reached new lows. Views are dropping for many of Mr. Trump’s greatest allies, while some figures on the right who have taken to criticizing Mr. Trump are showing uneven gains.
As explained by Thompson, Benny Johnson “was racking up tens of millions of views on YouTube” during Trump’s 2024 campaign, but “views for Mr. Johnson’s YouTube channel are down by millions from the heights of 2024.” Similarly, Dan Bongino “has seen his livestream views shrink by about half from their peak in 2024” and Kelly “has found moments of explosive growth, yet that attention has been hard to sustain,” while Candace Owens “drew new audiences by posting about a broader range of topics” and Nick Fuentes “saw notable gains in 2025 and early 2026 but is now trending down.”
Following the Times’ report, Chaotic Era's Kyle Tharp reported similar findings. Tharp found that “top political YouTube channels added roughly 67% fewer net new subscribers than they did in the same quarter a year ago (Q3 2025) — and about 20% fewer than just last quarter (Q2 2026).” He specifically noted the declines of Johnson, Owens, Carlson, and Kelly.
Which right-leaning cultural shows garnered more new subscribers and views on YouTube?
Here are 6 right-leaning online shows that self-identify in cultural categories on Apple Podcasts but cover news and politics and have been growing on YouTube, with more new subscribers and views from late March through the end of August compared to the preceding five-month period.

The show's main channel added 120,000 new subscribers from March through August and earned over 209.9 million views — more than double the views for the preceding time period (89.8 million). From October through March, Tatum's channel actually lost 10,000 subscribers.
The show streams on YouTube, with titles including “SCOTUS BETRAYS America in DISASTROUS Birthright Decision”; “Democrat Party IS GONE FOREVER: COMMUNISTS Takeover Party!”; “Spencer Pratt DEFEATS Karen Bass in EPIC FACE-OFF”; and “Democrats FURIOUS After TSA Agents GET PAID BY TRUMP.” Clips and Shorts from the streams are also regularly posted on the show's additional channels. As shown by Social Blade, these other channels had similar gains as Tatum’s main channel.

“My goal ... is to radicalize people as much as possible”: Asmongold's extreme rhetoric about immigration and ideological opponents
The video game streamer, who routinely engages in political punditry, has an enormous online presence, with over 9 million current followers across platforms and 2.4 billion views on just his active YouTube channels in 2025
Written by Gideon Taaffe, Noah VanDowe & Ben Van Bloem
Published 07/10/26
Video game streamer Zack Hoyt, better known online as Asmongold, has emerged in the right-leaning media landscape as an influential political commentator. Now he is urging a future Republican administration to go “Old Testament” on perceived political enemies and take a harsher approach to immigration, including by denaturalizing citizens and rounding up “parasite” immigrants and anti-ICE protestors.
Hoyt has an audience of millions who tune in to watch the streamer scroll through social media, play video games, and react to the latest news. Alongside gaming content, Hoyt pushes right-wing talking points on subjects ranging from “identity politics and progressive values” to immigration, amassing 2.4 billion views on his YouTube channels alone in 2025.
And while his streams often have a stream-of-consciousness feel, Hoyt has a clear agenda, as he explained while talking about migrants in the United Kingdom: “I want to make one thing extremely clear. My goal with talking about this stuff is to radicalize people as much as possible. I show this and I portray this stuff in the most extreme and negative way so I can make people angry and they'll be willing to follow the solutions that I want them to follow. Because I don't want people to get this confused. I have a very clear goal with the way that I express this stuff.”
Hoyt has praised anti-Muslim activist Tommy Robinson and white nationalist Nick Fuentes for their comments on immigration and for being “willing to put it on the table and risk their platforms by saying this stuff, and I respect that as somebody who would not do that.” Hoyt continued, “In a big way, if it wasn't for them doing what they did, I wouldn't be able to do what I do.” He further explained that he sees his “role” in the media ecosystem as acting as a bridge between the far-right white nationalists and more “mainstream” figures: “I try to take a slightly more mainstream position — and there are people that are more mainstream than I am. Like people like Piers Morgan, I would say, is also mainstream to that extent. Now his opinions borderline on being disagreeing with mine, but fundamentally, I think that he has the best interests of Western society in mind even though he says stupid things a lot of times. But it's about trajectory.” The trajectory Hoyt is on is one that calls for political repression and anti-immigrant policies.
Hoyt has used the kind of “extreme and negative” content described above to argue that anti-ICE protesters should be placed in “camps” for “mandatory labor,” that Trump should go “Old Testament” on political opponents, and that immigration enforcement and deportations should be more aggressive. He has also made it clear to potential 2028 presidential candidates that if they pledge to use the National Guard against protesters, denaturalize citizens, and act like a “psycho,” then his vote is up for grabs.

Asmongold is a massively popular right-leaning streamer, with billions of views on YouTube alone
- As of July 8, Hoyt has over 6.4 million subscribers on his two most active YouTube accounts, along with billions of views. His two most active YouTube channels have over 9 billion lifetime views combined, having amassed at least 2.4 billion views in 2025 alone. They currently have over 6.4 million combined subscribers.

- Hoyt has nearly 2.8 million followers across his other platforms, including Twitch, Kick, and Rumble. Hoyt’s Zackrawrr Twitch channel has over 2.4 million followers; his Kick account has over 300,000 followers; and his Rumble account has over 60,000 followers. [Twitch, Zackrawrr, accessed 7/7/26; Kick, Asmongold, accessed 7/7/26; Rumble, Asmongold, accessed 7/7/26]
Asmongold has urged for the government to “brutalize” protesters and punish them with “compelled slave labor” and other extreme sentences
- In October 2025, Hoyt called for arrested anti-ICE protesters to be used for “compelled slave labor.” Hoyt said he was “not a fan” of ICE potentially injuring protestors because then “you can't make them work in the prison,” adding, “I would want to utilize their bodies for compelled slave labor. That's the only reason.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 10/3/25]
- In January, Hoyt called for anti-ICE protesters to be “put in a camp” for “mandatory labor” of five to 10 years. He argued, “I think they should just bring in the military, find every single one of the people that did this, build a, you know, temporary camp like Alligator Alcatraz, and then pack them into that camp like sardines, and then basically send every single one of them through federal charges, put them in federal prisons, and then force them into mandatory labor for five to 10 or more years.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 1/19/26]
- In February, Hoyt said “nothing would galvanize voters more” than if the Trump administration put “domestic terrorists” at Minnesota anti-ICE rallies in Guantanamo Bay. “Nothing would galvanize voters more than to see this guy sent to Guantanamo Bay. Like, I dream of the day that we send these domestic terrorist retards to Guantanamo Bay,” Hoyt explained, continuing, “You got to put these people in jail for like 10, 15, 20 years. And it doesn't matter until everyone who’s doing this shit is in prison.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 2/6/26]
- In reaction to a video of an anti-ICE protester allegedly injuring a journalist, Hoyt argued that the “solution” to dealing with violent protesters is to “violently arrest” people, “brutalize” them, and “put them in camps and … keep them there.” He added, “And if they’re very violent, then you shoot them with a gun. It’s really simple.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 5/3/26]
- Hoyt said Karmelo Anthony, who in June was convicted of stabbing and killing Austin Metcalf, should be publicly executed to show demonstrators “you’re not in control.” Hoyt ranted, “This is the reason why I think we should publicly execute him. This is the exact reason. Is that you got to show these people that the way that you're acting and everything, like, you're not in control. You're not in control, you're never going to be in control, and it's better that way. This is exactly the reason why I think we should do it.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 6/12/26; BBC, 6/10/26]
Asmongold has called for the Trump administration to jail left-leaning political figures, journalists, and teachers
- Hoyt said if he was Trump, he would have gone “Old Testament” on his political enemies, and it “would have been a thousand times worse.” He continued, “Houses raided. I would have gone through all their stuff. I would have done everything. Taken them and charged them with as many possible things as I could. And whatever the worst thing possible is, that's what I would do, because they tried to do it to me.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 10/17/25]
- Responding to political strategist and commentator Ana Navarro’s discussion on CNN about an attempted bombing in New York City, Hoyt said, “The only way that you can deal with these people is to just completely oppress them and then just beat them down.” Hoyt: “All you can do is consolidate power and work in every single best interest that you can to remove any ability for them to have influence over anything. That's the thing that you should be doing. The moment that you try to even talk to them, you're making a mistake.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 3/11/26; NPR, 3/9/26]
- While reacting to a video of students participating in an anti-ICE walkout, Hoyt called to “put the teachers on trial.” Hoyt said, “The teachers let them go out and do this. You've got to go after the teachers for this stuff, you do. And the moment that you go after the teachers, then you’re going to have all these problems go away.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 2/17/26]
- Hoyt complained: “I don’t like the fact that Trump is not more authoritarian.” Hoyt said, “I don’t think he even goes 10% of how far I would want him to go” and called for the government to “black bag” liberal judges. He later added, “Anybody throwing a rock, anybody threatening with a knife a federal officer, just instantly shoot them.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 8/25/25]
- Hoyt after former FBI Director James Comey surrendered to the police: “We should be doing this every day. I love this.” He added, “You have to make this as painful as possible for him. Even if you don’t get him convicted, you have to make it as unpleasant as possible.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 4/29/26; CNN, 4/29/26]
- Hoyt called for the leaders of Democratic-run cities to be “put in prison permanently.” Hoyt argued, “I think they need to be tried for, like, I don't know. Sedition, maybe? Some form of like — as I said, I'm an Old Testament kind of guy. I think try them and put them in jail. Put them in prison.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 10/4/25]
- Hoyt said he may vote for Trump for a third term if he starts “putting these activist journalists in jail.” He explained, “The moment that we actually start putting journalists in jail for like 10 years, then I'll think to myself, OK, all right, maybe now it's time to vote for Trump a third term. Maybe now there's actually something that's going to happen. But until we start putting these activist journalists in jail, whenever they openly break the law, advocate for other people to break the law, and cause all these problems, then maybe I'll do it. But you're right.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 1/19/26]
- Hoyt said the “goal” should be to cut people who argued there was no fraud happening in Minneapolis “out of the democratic process entirely” through deportations, disenfranchisement, and imprisonment. Hoyt: “There's no reason to even argue with them. Like, they're totally captured. The goal really is to just show that it's a lie and then get more people to vote on your side. And eventually, once we get enough of those people, we just fucking just cut those people out of the democratic process entirely. Deport them, fucking put people in jail, take it to where — take away their right to vote. Like, go all the way. That should be the goal. That is the holy grail. That is the promised land. They're all in jail. They can't vote. They're getting deported. They take all their shit back, and that's it. And so never forget that is the best case scenario.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 5/23/26]
- After the Department of Justice announced an investigation into Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Hoyt called on the DOJ to “make up whatever they possibly can to get this guy in jail.” “It doesn't matter how we can get you,” Hoyt argued, “The only thing that matters is that we get you — that we have to make your life and your existence as a public person as unpleasant, uncomfortable, dangerous, and problematic as possible.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 6/15/26]
- While discussing former Trump administration national security adviser John Bolton’s guilty plea for mishandling sensitive documents, Hoyt said that he doesn’t “give a fuck about the rules” or think that Trump should go to jail for the same crime. Hoyt: “But, if he's guilty, so should Trump? No. I like Trump. I don't like John Bolton. I want John Bolton to go to jail. I don’t want Trump to go to jail. Well, I don't give a fuck about the rules. I don't like him. I don't like what he does. I don't like the way he acts. I don't like the way he behaves. I don't like the way he talks about Trump. I don't like the way he talks about the country. I don't like what he represents. I don't like anything about him. I don't give a fuck about what's right or wrong. I want to put that fucker in jail.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 6/27/26; The Associated Press, 6/26/26]
- Reacting to a clip of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Hoyt said he would vote for anyone who will campaign on “putting this woman out of America, revoking her citizenship, and sending her back to Somalia.” Hoyt said he was “so sick of these foreigner immigrants coming into our country, turning it into the Third World shitholes that they came from, and then running for office, and then trying to use our Constitution as a justification for their Third World-ification of our country. We got to get them out.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 1/13/26]
Asmongold has pushed for more aggressive immigration enforcement, including more deportations and “denaturalizing citizens”
- While reacting to a video about fraud in California, Hoyt endorsed voting “for somebody who will just go Old Testament on these people” by deporting the families of those guilty of fraud and revoking people’s citizenship. He continued, “I think people need to be radicalized against this. I think we need to vote for somebody who will just go Old Testament on these people. And not only deport the people that are doing it, but deport the people that were collaborators, deport their whole family, send them back completely. Like just AOE them out. Like, revoke visas, revoke work permits, revoke, you know, citizenship even. Get them out.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 3/17/26]
- Hoyt said that if it were up to him, people like Ilhan Omar “would be on a boat back to Somalia.” While discussing Omar, Hoyt said, “If it was up to me, people like her would be on a boat back to Somalia, on the first day. Right? You literally, like, go in the middle of the night, round them all up, put them on a boat, and send them all back. And that would be the end of it. I don't know why we're not doing that, honestly. I really don't. It's so annoying.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 6/27/26]
- Hoyt also said that he was “not satisfied” with the “level of aggression and force” being used to remove migrants and suggested “denaturalizing citizens.” Hoyt said, “I am not satisfied in the level of aggression and force that they are using to get rid of a lot of these people,” adding, “What we need to be thinking about is denaturalizing citizens. We need to be thinking about removing lawful permanent residents.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 4/13/26]
Asmongold is urging for a candidate in 2028 who will impose harsh punishments on political opponents and immigrants
- Hoyt said that in 2028 he will vote for whoever will be the most “Old Testament” on removing “parasite” immigrants, adding that we should use the National Guard or military to “round them all up.” “I don't know why we let these parasites do this. I really don't,” Hoyt said, adding, “Mass deportations and the revocation of migrant and immigrant status to a lot of these people should just be like — it should be assumed.” He continued, “In 2028, like, Marcus Rubius, JD Vance, whoever the fuck is going to run, I am going to vote for whoever will go the most Old Testament with removing these people out of our country. Every single one. Every single one. I think we use the National Guard and the military to round them all up.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 3/17/26]
- Hoyt said that if Vice President JD Vance runs in 2028 on jailing school teachers who allow students to participate in protests, “Maybe I'll vote for him.” Asmongold: “Maybe JD Vance, if he runs on doing this kind of stuff, then maybe I'll vote for him. But I don't know if they're ready to go in on this. I don't know if they're ready to actually go and push this to the limit that it needs to be at. … I don't think that we have somebody who's ready to be harsh enough on this stuff as it should be. And devouring mothers are a blight to society? Well, exactly. But, like, what do you — like, you need to have somebody, and you need to have somebody who's ready and willing to treat these people like they deserve. Like they deserve. And whenever that person shows up, that's who I'll vote for. And I'm waiting for that. I am.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 2/5/26]
- Hoyt reacted to a video of anti-ICE protesters, saying, “See, I'm going to vote for whoever's going to put every single one of these people in jail.” He continued, “That's who I’ll vote for. Whoever is going to take every single one of these people and lock them up like the animals they are, that's my guy.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 1/29/26]
- Hoyt said he would vote for someone who would treat anti-ICE protesters “10 times worse” than the Trump administration. Asmongold: “It's going to get a lot worse. If it's up to me, I'm going to vote for somebody that's going to make it 10 times worse. I think everybody else should too. These people are parasites. They're retards. They'll destroy everything around them just so they can feel good. This is only the beginning. If you thought it was bad now, it's going to get a lot worse. We're going to institutionalize these people. It's going to be done.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 1/12/26]
- In June, Hoyt said he would vote for former Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Greg Bovino because of Bovino’s anti-immigrant sentiments and praised him for seeming like a “psycho.” Hoyt: “And so holy shit, man. I really like this guy. If this guy ran for office, I'd vote for him. I would. This guy seems like a psycho. He does. He seems like a guy that's really — like whenever I heard that he had a secret plan to deport a hundred million people, I knew that, you know what? I think I could work with that. That's a man's man? It sure is. And he'd do the job, I know. Hope he runs for president? Yeah. I'd vote for a guy like this.” [ABC 4, 6/10/26; YouTube, Asmongold TV, 6/18/26]

Right-wing media's immigration wish list: Kill the bipartisan Dignity Act, more mass deportations, and fewer paths for legal immigration
Right-wing media are trying to pressure Republicans to move even further right on immigration
Written by Torri Lonergan & Isabella Sherk
Published 04/24/26
Right-wing media figures are rejecting recent messaging from the Trump White House to back away from calls for mass deportations and attacking bipartisan immigration legislation. These personalities have gone so far as to accuse the GOP of “pushing for mass amnesty” and “surrendering our country to foreigners.”
They are advocating for harsher anti-immigration policies — demanding that President Donald Trump enact his most extreme campaign promises for mass deportations, calling for “a 10-year ban on all immigration,” and encouraging Trump to start “denaturalizing citizens” and “removing lawful permanent residents.”
While the Trump administration slashes legal immigration, some congressional Republicans have backed away from mass deportations and cosponsored the Dignity Act}:
- The Trump administration has been slashing legal immigration and targeting non-criminal “immigration violators” while telling the public its efforts were prioritizing deporting “the worst of the worst.” The administration has drastically cut visas for legal permanent residents, international students, H-1B workers, and the foreign partners of U.S. citizens. Meanwhile, CBS reported that “30,986 — or 48% — of the ICE detainees in custody as of Nov. 16 lacked any criminal charges or convictions in the U.S. and were being held solely because of civil violations of U.S. immigration law.” Cato Institute, [4/13/26; CBS News, 11/26/25]
- A recent poll from Politico found that “half of Americans — including one quarter of Trump’s 2024 voters — said his mass deportations campaign is too aggressive.” However, the poll also found that two-thirds of his 2024 voters said, “Trump’s mass deportations campaign is either about right or not aggressive enough.” Politico, [4/18/26]
- In March, the White House reportedly advised congressional Republicans to avoid discussing mass deportations ahead of the midterm elections.According to Axios, White House deputy chief of staff James Blair urged House Republicans “to stop emphasizing ‘mass deportations’ and instead focus their messaging on removing violent criminals.” Axios, [3/10/26]
- A group of Trump allies have formed the Mass Deportation Coalition to encourage the administration not to back away from its deportation push. The coalition — which includes the Oversight Project’s Mike Howell, former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince, former Customs and Border Protection Acting Commissioner Mark Morgan, and conservative groups including The Heritage Foundation — released a playbook urging the White House to continue raiding work sites and deporting migrant workers despite pushback from voters. Politico, [4/1/26]
- The Dignity Act is a bipartisan bill that would allow migrant workers who have been here more than five years to legally work in the U.S. The “Dignity for Immigrants while Guarding our Nation to Ignite and Deliver the American Dream Act of 2025” or the “DIGNIDAD (Dignity) Act” was introduced by Reps. María Elvira Salazar (R-FL) and Veronica Escobar (D-TX) in July 2025. 19 other Republicans and a similar number of Democrats have cosponsored the bill. Salazar described the legislation as “a serious, balanced solution: no amnesty, no path to citizenship, but a legal status for those who have worked, paid taxes, and contributed to our economy.” According to the American Immigration Council, “The Dignity Act would provide a path to permanent legal status — but not citizenship — for nearly all undocumented immigrants who have been in the United States since December 31, 2020.” Congress.gov, [7/15/25; Office of Rep. María Elvira Salazar, 3/25/26, 7/15/25; American Immigration Council, 7/15/25]
- In April, 11 House Republicans voted with Democrats to extend temporary protected status for Haitian immigrants through 2029. CBS News reported that TPS “allows immigrants to temporarily live and work in the U.S. without fear of deportation if DHS decides their home country is unsafe due to armed conflict, environmental disasters or other extraordinary circumstances.” Haitian immigrants have been granted TPS since 2010. The bill’s Republican supporters broke with Trump, who has attempted to end deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of Haitian immigrants and reportedly plans to veto the bill if it passes the Senate. CBS News, [4/16/26; NPR, 4/16/26]
- ## Right-wing media figures railed against the Dignity Act, calling the bill that bars undocumented people from citizenship “amnesty”
- The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh called Dignity Act cosponsor Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-FL) an “anchor baby,” described the bill as “treasonous,” and claimed the legislation would “backdoor a mass amnesty.” The Daily Wire, *The Matt Walsh Show*, [4/9/26, 4/9/26]
- Fox’s Sean Hannity complained, “We have Democrats and some Republicans even that are pushing for this idiotic, imbecilic, insane idea of the Dignity Act.” He framed the proposed legislation as saying, “Oh, never mind that you didn't respect our laws, our borders and sovereignty. Never mind that we didn't vet you. We're just going to let you into the country anyway.” Premiere Radio Networks, *The Sean Hannity Show*, [4/9/26]
- On April 8, Fox host Laura Ingraham asked Dignity Act cosponsor Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY), “How can you possibly look in the face of the American people and say that's dignity?” The next day, Ingraham argued that “American workers, taxpayers, and the rule of law” will lose if this bill gets passed. She also said that Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) “nailed it” when he referred to the bill as a “double middle finger to the middle class.” Fox News, *The Ingraham Angle*, [4/8/26, 4/9/26]
- Discussing the Dignity Act, Fox host Will Cain asked Lawler, “How is this not amnesty?” Cain insisted, “Whatever words you want to use, amnesty, pathway to citizenship — I know you’re not proposing that — legal status, you are creating the continued incentive for illegal immigration.” Fox News, *The Will Cain Show*, [2/4/26]
- Right-wing podcaster Laura Loomer said that Republicans will “lose the midterms” because they are “talking about this Dignity Act to give amnesty to 65 fucking illegal aliens.”In February, she insisted the Dignity Act is “just another word for mass amnesty, it makes me so angry,” and said, “I think that Lawler should be primaried. I think that he should be removed from Congress.” Rumble, *Loomer Unleashed*, [4/7/26, 2/5/26]
- Megyn Kelly questioned why Republicans were cosponsoring the “betrayal bill” and said, “This is no time to be talking about amnesty.” She added, “I don't care about them being in fear of deportation,” and asked, “What is this, just to create a talking point for the Democrats right before the midterms?” Sirius XM, *The Megyn Kelly Show*, [4/9/26, 4/9/26]
- The Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles said Salazar is “pushing for mass amnesty” and declared that the Dignity Act is “as rancid as a bill as ever I have seen.” On The Megyn Kelly Show, Knowles said, “I have my own alternative legislation that I am proposing. The legislation is the All New Denizens Actually Leave En Masse Bill, or the ANDALE Bill.” He argued, “Mass deportations are a mainstream popular political issue. So what are these jokers, these Republicans in Congress say? They come around and they say I know what we'll do after winning the first popular election in 20 years. Let's give illegals mass amnesty. … Leave it to these people to clutch defeat from the jaws of victory.” The Daily Wire, *The Michael Knowles Show*, [7/21/25; The Daily Wire, Friendly Fire, 4/8/26; Sirius XM, The Megyn Kelly Show, 4/9/26]
- Infowars host Harrison Smith said that Congress “named the amnesty bill in the Spanish language just to really emphasize how thoroughly they are surrendering our country to foreigners.” Infowars, *War Room*, [4/7/26]
- On former Trump strategist Steve Bannon’sWar Roompodcast, Immigration Accountability Project co-founder Rosemary Jenks criticized the Dignity Act, claiming, “It's got amnesty for at least 10 million illegal aliens to compete with low-wage American workers.” She said, “I call this bill, instead of the Dignity Act, the SAAW Act for Screw All American Workers, because this bill hits every American worker, whether they're low-wage, medium-wage, or high-wage.” Real America’s Voice, *War Room*, [4/10/26]
- The Charlie Kirk Showexecutive producer Andrew Kolvet said the Dignity Act is “a new grift to try to get more illegals coming in.” He claimed, “There are people around the president right now saying, don't ever use the word mass deportation again — the thing that we all got so excited to vote for in 2024.” Real America’s Voice, *The Charlie Kirk Show*, [4/7/26]
- Podcaster Vince Coglianese ranted, “What the hell did people vote for, by a majority? A majority? They said mass deportations. They said get everybody out of the country who's here illegally. Stop breaking our laws. Stop making it chaotic. Get out. Get out. And you're picking now for amnesty? No. None. No more amnesty.” Coglianese called the Dignity Act a “dumpster fire” and said, “The goal of the bill is to give amnesty to huge categories of illegal aliens.” He criticized Republicans who support the bill, complaining, “They're going to deliver the American dream. To whom? Not to Americans. To illegal aliens. What are you idiots doing?” Rumble, *VINCE*, [2/5/26]
- ## Right-wing media personalities demanded that Trump double down on mass deportations
- Podcaster Tim Pool complained about “the Trump administration telling people to back off of mass deportations,” claiming, “That says to me, yeah, MAGA's dead.” He continued, “If the Republican Party is now saying Joe Biden allowed in 10 million undocumented — undocumented — migrants, illegal immigrants, as we call them, if he really did that, and the Trump admin is saying we're done with this; we're not going to do it — OK. Well, then America's over.” Rumble, *Timcast IRL*, [3/17/26]
- War Roomhost Steve Bannon called for “mass deportation of every illegal alien that’s here. All of them, not just the bad hombres.” Previously, in late March, Bannon had complained that Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and the White House said, “We can't even use the phrase mass deportations again.” Days later, Bannon insisted, “We cannot take our eye off the ball of mass deportations, even if the lobbyists that continue to hammer at the White House want us to stop doing it.” Real America’s Voice, *War Room*, [4/14/26, 3/23/26, 3/31/26]
- In an episode ofThe Charlie Kirk Showtitled “The RINO Plot to Dump 'Mass Deportations,’” Andrew Kolvet said, “We’re going to keep saying mass deportations, because guess what? That’s what the people want.” Kolvet later complained, “If you're going to cuck out on deportations and immigration, you will depress turnout at the midterms. … You will depress our base and we will not get out and vote for you in the midterms." Real America’s Voice, *The Charlie Kirk Show*, [4/9/26, 4/9/26, 4/21/26]
- Fox host Laura Ingraham told Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, “We want mass deportations, Mr. Secretary. That's what the American people voted for.” Fox News, *The Ingraham Angle*, [4/15/26]
- White nationalist streamer Nick Fuentes lamented, “Trump always chickens out,” specifically complaining that the administration backed down on mass deportations.Fuentes said, “Mass deportations — where are they? Not happening.” Rumble, *America First*, [3/31/26, 4/8/26]
- Laura Loomer complained that “we're not getting all of the 65 million mass deportations like we were told,” saying, “At the rate of these deportations, they're not exactly mass deportations.”Rumble, *Loomer Unleashed*, [4/7/26]
- Conservative influencer Nick Sortor said he will continue to use the words “mass deportations” because “if we only go after the worst of the worst, that means amnesty for the rest.” Rumble, *The Charlie Kirk Show*, [4/7/26]
- Megyn Kelly said, “We’ve gone from worst-first to pretty much worst-only, if that.” She said, “We’re going in the wrong direction in terms of the detention of illegals,” complaining that the drop in ICE detentions is “primarily driven by the decline in arrests of illegal immigrants without criminal records. It very much appears like we have moved considerably on from that group.” SiriusXM, *The Megyn Kelly Show*, [4/15/26]
- PBD Podcastpanelist Vincent Oshana said, “This mass deportation has slowed down. OK? And I’m sorry, I voted for the people that do not belong here to leave.” He continued, “The rules are the rules, you have to leave if you're freaking here illegally and that's it.” YouTube, *PBD Podcast*, [3/20/26]
- Mike Howell of the Mass Deportation Coalition said on Julio Rosas’Mostly Peaceful Podcastthat “only focusing on the worst of worst” is “comfort food for RINOS.” He continued, “It's a problem in that there's not that many criminal illegal aliens out of the total illegal alien population. And so, when you're focused on a small subset, you're going to get small numbers.” YouTube, *Mostly Peaceful Podcast*, [4/2/26]
- The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh complained that if Trump “won’t do” mass deportations, then “I don’t think anyone else ever will.” The Daily Wire, *Friendly Fire*, [4/8/26]
- The Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles said he’s sure the “abuelas are really nice, but abuela has to go too.” He said, “I want mass deportations. I don’t just want the face-tattooed criminals gone.” The Daily Wire, *Friendly Fire*, [4/8/26]
- ## Right-wing media figures attacked legal immigration and advocated for denaturalizing US citizens
- Steve Bannon said, “We should have a 10-year ban on all immigration. People say, oh well legal — it's not legal. It's all a scam.” Real America’s Voice, *War Room*, [4/10/26]
- YouTuber Tyler Oliveira posted a video attacking the H-1B visa program that claimed to expose “Texas' Indian Invasion.” Oliveira said “infinite legal immigration” will “alter the fabric of any place” and asked, “If the law has allowed Frisco's Indian population to go from less than 2% to almost 20% Indian in the last 20 years, turning Frisco into a majority-minority city, is the intent of these work visas bringing Indians to America to support our labor force or to replace it altogether?” YouTube, Tyler Oliveira, [4/5/26, 4/5/26]
- Right-wing streamer Zack Hoyt, known online as Asmongold, said that “what needs to happen” is “denaturalizing citizens,” “removing lawful permanent residents,” and “scaling down the H-1B program by like 95%.” He said he would denaturalize and deport Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) “instantly” and added, “I am not satisfied in the level of aggression and force that they are using to get rid of a lot of these people.” Omar immigrated to the United States as a child and has been a U.S. citizen for over 20 years. YouTube, Asmongold TV, [4/13/26; Politico, 2/3/26]
- Hoyt complained about legal immigration from India specifically, saying, “It's way too fast, way too many.” Hoyt insisted, “The problem is the system that allows these companies to undercut American workers and then get cheap foreign labor and then import them here and then bring their entire family.” He went on to accuse Trump of “selling out the American people” by supporting H-1B visas. YouTube, Asmongold TV, [4/14/26, 4/14/26]
- Podcaster Benny Johnson said “Ilhan Omar’s family” is “a walking advertisement for why we should never take anyone from the Third World into our country ever again.”He complained that a “horrific” and “sick” “experiment” has been “run on us for the last 40 years that you need to flood our nation, that anyone can become an American, that paperwork Americans are just as American as you are. No, doesn't work.” YouTube, *The Benny Show*, [3/22/26]
- Podcaster Vince Coglianese said, “We need a full-blown moratorium on all migration into the United States.” He celebrated data from the Cato Institute finding that Trump has cut legal immigration more than illegal immigration, saying, “Yes, I voted for all of this. And, yes, these are all massive wins.” Coglianese also criticized Congress for extending temporary protected status for Haitians, saying that we need to “purge the ranks of people who would sell us out like this” and falsely labeling Haitian immigrants with TPS as illegal aliens. Rumble, *VINCE*, [4/16/26, 4/16/26]
- Fox host Laura Ingraham said it “drives me crazy” that Republicans voted with Democrats to protect Haitian immigrants in the United States with temporary protected status. Fox News, *The Ingraham Angle*, [4/15/26]
- Blaze TV host Auron MacIntyre said onThe Charlie Kirk Showthat Haitians have a “high propensity toward violence” and “don’t belong in the United States.” MacIntyre railed against extending temporary protected status for Haitian immigrants, saying, “The problem with Haiti, the reason it's dangerous, is because Haitians live there.” Rumble, *The Charlie Kirk Show*, [4/16/26]
- Megyn Kelly said Haitians are continuing to “be rewarded for their illegal law breaking” and that Republicans who voted to extend temporary protected status for Haitians “deserve to be named and shamed.” Kelly said, “They pretend at every turn that there are not Americans who want these jobs. I'm here to tell you there are. There are. I've known and loved some of them. So fuck you and your bullshit excuses, Rep. Lawler and Nicole Malliotakis.” SiriusXM, *The Megyn Kelly Show*, [4/17/26]

“No Kings” rallies highlight how right-wing provocateurs generate content for right-wing media
Right-wing criticism of No Kings protests are being fueled by videos from TPUSA Frontlines, FreedomNews, Nate Friedman, Julio Rosas, and others
Written by Gideon Taaffe & Jack Winstanley
:{Published 04/08/26
Right-wing media have been using video content from right-wing content creators, many of whom describe themselves as “independent journalists,” to attack the March 28 “No Kings” rallies, claiming protesters had “idiotic things to say,” calling protesters “quite terrible” people, and accusing them of engaging in “terrorism.”
This is just the latest example of the feedback loop between right-wing media and a variety of online influencers and content creators who have emerged to create and distribute content that spreads right-wing narratives on social media. These creators, some of whom have affiliations with right-wing outlets and organizations like FreedomNews and Turning Point USA’s Frontlines, have become part of the right-wing media ecosystem, as right-wing media figures have come to rely on them for on-the-ground footage and evidence in support of longstanding right-wing talking points.
These content creators and so-called “independent journalists” descended on the March 28 No Kings rallies in several U.S. cities — including New York City, Nashville, Las Vegas, Dallas, and Los Angeles — for content, using their videos to push the longstanding right-wing narrative that anti-Trump protesters are violent or paid.
While 74 arrests were reported in relation to protests in Los Angeles, the No Kings rallies drew out an estimated 8 million people across the United States. Despite the overwhelming number of protesters engaging peacefully, right-wing content creators highlighted confrontations between protesters and police.

- FreedomNews, a “video content supplier” that purports to be composed of “independent journalists” and “committed to independent reporting,” filmed No Kings rallies from around the country, including New York City, Nashville, Palm Beach, Dallas, and Los Angeles. Many of FreedomNews’ videos featured clashes between No Kings attendees and counter protesters, as well as footage of protesters engaging with police and demonstrating outside federal buildings. The outlet additionally highlighted activist groups attending the protests, including pro-choice activists, trans activists, and communists.

- :{TPUSA’s Frontlines, which Axios described as the “guerrilla-style reporting” arm of Turning Point and which self-describes itself as “a team of passionate and dedicated video journalists,” posted footage of protests in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, with self-described “independent journalist” Jonathan Choe capturing footage from Las Vegas.Videos alleged that rally attendees were “agitators … trying to break down the fence at the federal building” and “appear[ed] to throw cement at federal officers.”
Another video claimed that Turning Point Action volunteers had been heckled and that “cops just stepped in to scold a leftist protester after she used her pom pom to hit a woman singing Christian praise music.” On Instagram, TPUSA and one of its creators, Bronson Alford, posted a video from New York City that claimed a No Kings attendee “can’t define ‘conservative.’” Instagram, [3/28/26, 3/28/26, 3/28/26, 3/28/26, 3/30/26, accessed 4/6/26; Axios, 10/30/25; TPUSA Frontlines, accessed 4/6/26]}:

Right-wing media blamed Iran for bombing of Minab elementary school, but reporting suggests it was a US strike
Reporting indicates that a US Tomahawk missile likely hit the school, yet right-wing media blamed the attack on Iran and downplayed the killing of children because “things happen in war”
Written by Torri Lonergan, Ben Van Bloem & Isabella Sherk
Published 03/11/26
Right-wing media blamed Iran for the likely U.S. bombing of an elementary school during initial U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28. As evidence mounted that the U.S. was likely at fault, right-wing media called it “disinformation from the enemy.” The strike killed about 175 civilians, largely young children.
Multiple mainstream news organizations have now verified a video that appears to show a U.S. Tomahawk missile hitting a building near the school as part of an attack on an Iranian naval facility next door. Additionally, Defense Department investigators have reportedly determined that the U.S. was likely responsible for the strike. However, right-wing media figures claimed to have “photographic evidence” that Iran was behind the bombing, downplayed the killing of school children, and cast doubt on reporting about the strike, calling the entire story “a lie that has been completely retracted.”
- ## Reporting and video suggest that the US is likely responsible for the bombing of an Iranian elementary school
- Shajareh Tayyebeh elementary school in southern Iran was struck by a missile on February 28, killing about 175 people. Neither the U.S. nor Israel initially admitted responsibility for the attack that killed so many civilians, including many children. NPR, [3/8/26; BBC, 3/9/26]
- Evidence suggests that the missile was launched by the United States.The New York Times linked the strike on the school to a simultaneous U.S. military attack on a neighboring Iranian naval base and debunked the claim that the school was hit by a “misfired Iranian missile.” The New York Times, NPR, and the Washington Post also verified a video that confirmed it was a Tomahawk missile that hit the school. All three outlets reported that the U.S. is the only actor in the war that is known to possess Tomahawks. The New York Times, [3/5/26, 3/8/26; NPR, 3/8/26; The Washington Post, 3/8/26]
- Even Fox News reported that the school was likely hit with U.S. munitions.Correspondent Jennifer Griffin said, “Satellite imagery and verified video shows the girls elementary school hit in Minab, Iran, on Saturday was likely hit by U.S. precision munitions.” Even Fox host Laura Ingraham mentioned the possibility that “some horrific U.S. or Israeli mistake” caused the strike and said that if the reports are true, then “we will need to own up to it, full transparency.” Fox News, *America Reports*, [3/6/26; Fox News, The Ingraham Angle, 3/4/26]
- Both a U.S. official and open-source investigative journalism collective Bellingcat said the strike was “likely American.” A Bellingcat researcher identified the munition as a Tomahawk cruise missile made by American weapons manufacturer Raytheon. Reuters reported that “U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school that killed scores of children.” The New York Times reported that “an ongoing military investigation has determined that the United States is responsible” for the strike, noting that it was “the result of a targeting mistake by the U.S. military,” which “created the target coordinates for the strike using outdated data” that “had not been double checked.” Bellingcat, [3/8/26; The Associated Press, 3/9/26; Reuters, 3/5/26; The New York Times, 3/11/26]
- Despite this reporting, President Donald Trump denied U.S. responsibility for the strike and blamed Iran.“In my opinion and based on what I’ve seen, that was done by Iran,” Trump told The New York Times. “They’re very inaccurate, as you know, with their munitions.” Fox’s Jennifer Griffin accused Trump of trying to “muddy the waters,” saying, “It seems highly unlikely it would be anyone's Tomahawk other than a U.S. Tomahawk that hit that school, and I think the president knows that.” The New York Times, [3/5/26, 3/8/26; Fox News, Special Report with Bret Baier, 3/9/26]
- ## Many right-wing media figures blamed Iran for the school bombing
- Right-wing podcaster Laura Loomer dismissed U.S. and Israeli responsibility for the bombing as “Islamic propaganda” and claimed to have “photographic evidence” that the missile that hit the school was “fired by the Iranians.”Loomer argued, “The school that was struck in Iran was struck by an Iranian missile that misfired because it was fired by the Iranians, and then they blamed Israel and they blamed the United States. And I posted photographic evidence of this the other day, and you can clearly see the missile shooting up and then shooting back down in Iran. So no, the United States and Israel did not just murder 175 Iranian school girls. The Iranians murdered 175 Iranian school girls.” Rumble, *Loomer Unleashed*, [3/3/26]
- Fox News contributor Brett Velicovich implied that Iranian “tyrants” were “bombing girls schools in the midst of their own chaos.” Velicovich said, “This is not a country defending itself anymore, it’s a regime exporting chaos in every direction. It’s a regime full of psychopaths that should not exist in modern society. And while our military conducts precision strikes on the tyrants in Iran, they are busy bombing girls schools in the midst of their own chaos and killing more innocents.” Fox News, *The Faulkner Focus*, [3/5/26]
- Charlie Kirk Showproducer Blake Neff raised the possibility that “Iran might have launched one of their missiles and it didn’t go well.” Former Tucker Carlson writer Neff said of the strike, “I highly doubt our government would intentionally strike an elementary school. So there's a possibility it didn't happen at all. Accidental strike. Iran might have launched one of their missiles and it didn't go well and it landed inside their own country.” Rumble, *The Charlie Kirk Show*, [2/28/26; The New York Times, 9/16/20]
- Podcast host Stephen Crowder amplified an “unverified” Telegram post claiming “Iran knew they struck their own school by accident, used it — or on purpose — used it for propaganda.”Crowder said that he “would be willing to bet if it did happen that it obviously wasn't targeted” and suggested that it could have been an Iranian missile that struck the school. Rumble, *Louder with Crowder*, [3/3/26]
- PBD Podcasthost Patrick Bet-David said reports about the school bombing were “disinformation,” and panelist Adam Sosnick claimed it had been tracked back to a “fallen military missile from Iran.” Bet-David responded, “Let me tell you, that’s the disinformation camp.” Later in the episode, Sosnick reiterated that it “was the IRGC,” or the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and said that people complaining about the school attack were being hypocritical for ignoring violence by the Iranian government during recent protests: “You didn’t care that 30, 40, 50,000 Iranians were killed?" YouTube, *PBD Podcast*, [3/2/26, 3/2/26]
- ## Right-wing media downplayed the school bombing or denied US involvement
- Fox host Jimmy Failla claimed that Democrats planted “a lie that has been completely retracted of these allied forces wiping out a girls school.” He blamed Democrats for planting the story in the media, saying, “If you see the entirety of the world celebrating Donald Trump, your first thought as a Democrat is oh shit. So they get out there and they plant a story.” Failla continued by claiming that Democrats want people to think, “I don't want to live in an America where Trump just blows up girls schools.” Fox News Radio, *Fox Across America with Jimmy Failla*, [3/3/26]
- Newsmax host Greg Kelly said he thought there was a “major chance” that reports of the U.S. striking a school were “disinformation from the enemy.” Kelly said, “This is an authoritarian move. They do it all the time, right? Once the bullets start flying, they claim war crime, war crime.” The host later suggested the building may not have even been a school, admitting that “it’s possible, but none of the reports mention that it was located right next to the Iranian Islamic Republican Guard headquarters for that area.” Newsmax, *Greg Kelly Reports*, [3/2/26]
- Fox host Jesse Watters: “If someone made a mistake when they hit a school, that's bad, but that's war.” He accused co-host Jessica Tarlov of “lying about the war” and said Iran’s former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei “murdered 35,000 people” as a defense when Tarlov brought up the school bombing. Fox News, *The Five*, [3/6/26]
- War Roomhost Steve Bannon downplayed the deadly school bombing, saying, “Those things happen in war.” He insisted, “They don't make mistakes. You may have something go offline, there's this issue about this striking the girls school that’s on a military base. Yes, those things happen in war. But the process is bulletproof.” Real America’s Voice, *War Room*, [3/9/26]
- Streamer Zack Hoyt, known online as Asmongold, dismissed concerns about the bombing of the school as “emotional manipulation” and “Karen ideology” while praising a video of Secretary of State Marco Rubio talking about the conflict. YouTube, Asmongold TV, [3/2/26]
- The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro criticized “people putting extraordinary focus on the Iranian school” who didn’t talk about “protesters mowed down by the Iranian regime.” Shapiro said, “Every life lost is a tragedy. I've noticed that many of the people, nay, virtually all of the people who are placing extraordinary focus on the Iranian school that was horrifically struck today didn't give two bleeps about the 32,000 protesters mowed down by the Iranian regime. So they're perfectly happy to let 88 million people live under the tyranny of the ayatollahs, mowing down tens of thousands of people at a time. That, they have no problem with. No protest. Nothing. But, if in taking out the ayatollahs, a mistake is made and an Iranian school gets hit, I guess it's all game over, we have to stop. That’s nonsense.” The Daily Wire, *The Ben Shapiro Show*, [2/28/26]

QUITE A LOT OF TALK, MOSTLY DEFEND FROM TERM RWER, BC PRO UBI?
Talk:Asmongold - Wikipedia 1 26
Zachariah "Zack" Hoyt (born 1990),[1] also known as Asmongold, is an American YouTuber, content creator, online streamer, and political commentator. His content was primarily focused on World of Warcraft,[2][3] but he now covers politics as well as video games and topics related to gaming culture. He was a co-founder and co-owner of the streaming, gaming, and content creation organization One True King (OTK), based in Austin, Texas.[4] He was also a co-owner of Starforge Systems, a computer company specializing in selling prebuilt gaming PCs.[5] He stepped down from leadership positions at both OTK and Starforge after facing backlash over anti-Palestinian comments he made on a Twitch stream.[6][7]
Early life
Zack Hoyt was born in 1990 in Florida and raised in Austin, Texas.[8][9] He grew up with an interest in video games, particularly role-playing games (RPGs), and was introduced to World of Warcraft by a friend in 2006.[10] He quickly became captivated by the game and began playing it extensively.[11] Hoyt later attended college, but dropped out to focus on his streaming career.[12]
Career
With the release of World of Warcraft Classic in 2019, Hoyt's popularity surged, and he became one of the platform's most prominent streamers in that year.[13][14] He remained one of Twitch's most popular World of Warcraft streamers during the Shadowlands launch in 2020.[15] On July 3, 2021, he played Final Fantasy XIV for the first time before hundreds of thousands of viewers.[16]
After Elon Musk was accused in January 2025 of paying third parties to boost his Path of Exile 2 account, Hoyt challenged Musk to prove that he himself had leveled a character to 97 in hardcore mode, after which Musk unfollowed Hoyt on X, removed his verification check, and posted a screenshot of their private messages. A community note under the post stated that leaking private messages without permission generally violated X's guidelines.[17][18] Musk later deleted his tweets and the two have subsequently interacted with each other on X about other topics.[19]
In November 2025, Hoyt was named in a lawsuit filed by the streamer Mizkif as a defendant alongside fellow streamer Emiru, OTK Media Inc., Mythic Talent Management Inc., and King Gaming Labs Inc. for reputational harm, lost earnings, and emotional distress.[1] The lawsuit came after Emiru accused Mizkif of "psychological and domestic abuse, stalking, harassment, sexual assault, and threats of blackmail", which was then amplified by Hoyt during his livestreams.[20]
Business ventures
See also: One True King
In October 2020, Hoyt co-founded One True King (OTK), a streaming and content creation organization, with other content creators, including Mizkif and Sodapoppin. In August 2022, he announced OTK's new PC building company, Starforge Systems, in collaboration with fellow content creator Cr1TiKaL.[21] The company received backlash over the high prices of their products, to which they responded by reducing their prices by $100.[22] In February 2023, Hoyt cofounded the talent agency Mythic Talent alongside fellow OTK member TipsOut, serving in an advisory capacity.[23][24] On February 21, 2025, Hoyt announced that he had stepped away from his leadership roles within the organization.[25]
Political and social commentary
In 2022, he contacted Republican senator Ted Cruz to discuss regulating loot boxes in video games. Cruz was non-committal.[26]
In early 2024, Hoyt, alongside other prominent YouTubers, aided in spreading "anti-woke" conspiracism around Sweet Baby Inc.'s work in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.[27]
:{:{In a Twitch stream on October 14, 2024, Hoyt called Palestinians "terrible people" from "an inferior culture" that "kills people for their identity" and "is directly antithetical to everything Western values stand for."[28][7][29] He also said that they "have genocide built into Sharia law right now, so, no, I'm not going to cry a fucking river when people who have genocide that's baked into their laws are getting genocided". This statement was later called a "racist tirade".[30] }:
His ZackRawrr account on Twitch was banned for 14 days due to violating the platform's hateful conduct policy.[6] Hoyt initially made a brief apology on Twitter which was criticized by PC Gamer, stating "that quite a few people don't consider "my bad" a sufficient expression of contrition and reconsideration for espousing grossly racist attitudes".[30] Hoyt later released a more extensive apology stating he had "slowly devolving into the most mean-spirited, rude, nasty, callous, psychopathic version of [him]self" and he would take a break from streaming. He would also step down from his leadership positions in OTK and Starforge Systems.[29][31]}:
:{By 2025, political commentary had become a major component of Hoyt's streams. On one occasion, he mocked Democratic Congressman Al Green's disruption of President Donald Trump's 2025 Congressional Address, stating that Green's actions make "people think [he's] a fucking retard."
Hoyt has also expressed support for universal basic income and a constitutional right to abortion. He has said that he places no weight on "principles or morality", describing such views as "top-down ideas that are given to you by the elites."[32] As part of his political commentary, Hoyt claimed that "every trans kid is a victim of a parent with mental illness".[33] Despite Hoyt's claims that trans children have been "groomed" into being trans, he has said he would respect the pronoun choices of his own children.[34]}:
Scholar Adam Ruch cited Hoyt as an example of a video game critic who believed that left-leaning, "woke" perspectives were forced into video games. According to Ruch, Hoyt attributed this perceived influence of "woke" perspectives in games to ESG, arguing that left-leaning games were more likely to attract investment from large fund managers.[35]

:{:{NO LNX VID MANY SEE BAK}:
Asmongold, one of the largest US streamers on YouTube, has leveled up from gaming to politics
The video game streamer — who has 2.4 billion views on YouTube just this year — also seems to be courting Nick Fuentes
Written by Gideon Taaffe
:{:{Published 12/11/25}:
Zack Hoyt, better known as Asmongold or Zackrawrr on Twitch, has become one of the most popular right-leaning online personalities in the U.S. after building on his success as a grungy video game streamer. His popular stream-of-consciousness political punditry often includes right-wing messaging, presented under the guise of gaming industry criticism.
Recently, Hoyt appears to be trying to court white nationalist influencer and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes, who set off a wave of right-wing media infighting around his October 27 interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Hoyt says he doesn’t agree with all of Fuentes’ politics, but he has argued that the podcaster is speaking for “disaffected young men” and suggested it’s unwise to ignore his views. In November, Hoyt commented that Fuentes should have been nominated for a streamer award and hinted at doing a stream with Fuentes in the future, saying it’s “not a matter of if, but when.”
Hoyt’s own online presence is massive.
He amassed 2.4 billion views across his two active YouTube channels in 2025, according to Media Matters’ analysis based on data collected from Social Blade. In fact, his YouTube views this year are the highest among the hundreds of right-leaning podcasts and streamers Media Matters tracks.
His active YouTube channels, Asmongold TV and Asmongold Clips, have nearly 5.8 million subscribers combined.
He has 2.2 million followers on his Zackrawrr Twitch account, where he regularly streams.
Hoyt got his start by making videos of himself playing World of Warcraft, an online role-playing game that he estimated in 2022 he had played for over 36,000 hours. Over the years, he has cultivated a massive fan base of “roaches,” named for a viral clip of a cockroach climbing on him while he streamed from a trash-strewn room. These fans have dubbed him the “roach king” and they seem undeterred by his claims about not showering for months, changing his pillowcase only twice in his life, buying thrift-store clothes rather than doing laundry for years, and falling through his roof in search of a dead animal.

From the August 2, 2025, edition of Asmongold TV, streamed on YouTube
Hoyt has accepted the label of “roach defender” and claimed, “I stick up for people that I think are being mistreated and people that are being misrepresented. I think that's what I do more than anything. Obviously, whether it’s Zoomer incels or anything else, I don’t really care. The only thing that I care about is making sure that, you know, people get a fair shake more than anything.”
Asmongold hypes drama between streamers and attacks supposed left-wing bias in the video game industry
In a profile of Hoyt in The Atlantic last spring, Spencer Kornhaber described him as someone “playing the role of a buddy on the couch” — but “a buddy with a lot of opinions” — saying he watched Hoyt’s channel to “understand what it means for politics to be processed through the lens of video games.”
Hoyt’s right-wing shift follows a legacy of outrage against inclusivity in gaming, specifically as it pertains to women. Kornhaber wrote:
Indeed, Asmongold’s foray into political commentary often seems to have been undertaken half-heartedly. The gaming world’s rightward drift can be traced back to the “Gamergate” controversy of a decade ago, when a vocal slice of gamers organized an angry backlash to game designers and journalists who had been trying to make the art form more diverse and inclusive. “All we wanted to do was play video games,” Asmongold said in a recent stream. “And then they had to put girls in video games. And so now we have to elect Donald Trump to stop that.”
Hoyt typically ends his streams by playing a video game, but the first few hours are often filled with his commentary on streaming drama, the gaming industry, and politics.
Industry drama is a never-ending source of content for Hoyt as he comments on popular streamers, criticizes streaming services, and feuds with other creators. Left-leaning streamer Hasan Piker is a frequent target (see Hoyt’s YouTube videos with clickbait titles like “Hasan crossed the last line,” “Hasan is getting cancelled,” or “Hasan was FORCED to address this”). Last year, Hoyt appeared on Piker’s stream for a debate after Hoyt described Palestinians as “terrible people” from “an inferior culture.”
Hoyt is also a major critic of the gaming industry, and he’s even drawn recognition for that commentary from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).
In 2022, Hoyt announced on a stream that he had contacted the senator’s office about “loot boxes,” mechanisms that allow gamers to buy in-game cosmetics or advantages with real dollars that Hoyt had described as “predatory.” On his own podcast days later, Cruz expressed agreement with Hoyt, describing the issue as a problem of “gambling and kids,” and extended an invitation to talk to Hoyt.
However, many of Hoyt’s critiques revolve around perceived wokeness and diversity in games.
In November, he criticized a remake of the game Gothic that desexualized some female characters, bemoaning the “army of swamp hags that are in these video game companies that are ruining your video games to make themselves feel better about being fat.”
In another video, he attacked a video game review site as “totally captured by identity politics and progressive values.”
In October, Hoyt claimed developers of the popular Assassin’s Creed series had made a “political messaging device,” adding, “I could have sat in my room and played video games my whole life and I would have never been involved. But then they had to go and add a girl into my fucking game. And you think that I'm not going to burn the whole motherfucking place down? Metaphorically.”
Asmongold pivots from video game criticism to right-wing talking points
While Hoyt became known for gaming, these days he spends much of his streams discussing politics with his chat.
In August, Hoyt came across a post on his Reddit page that noted, “At Gamescon, they’re currently showcasing a game about illegally crossing into the US and processing the trauma of being a minority with real audio clips from real illegals.” (The game, Take Us North, is described by its creators as an “interactive narrative that follows the journeys of migrants and asylum seekers on their way to cross the US-Mexico border.”)
Hoyt exclaimed, “I have to see this. I have to see this. This is content.”
As he watched a presentation on the game, Hoyt started attacking migrants, saying, “They’re stealing the jobs. They’re creating more traffic. They overload social systems. They steal people’s identities to get government benefits.”
Content is king to Hoyt — and for him, the king of content is President Donald Trump.
The streamer has repeatedly referred to Trump as the “content president” while discussing his press conferences and tweets. He reacted to Trump’s Thanksgiving post that called Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz “retarded” and advocated for “reverse migration,” saying, “If you were to take, like, an AI and generate a president that would do things based off of my stream, it would generate a statement like this.”
But Hoyt has some reservations about Trump, arguing that he should be “more authoritarian”:
He complained that Trump is “not more authoritarian,” saying “I don’t think he goes even 10% of how far I would want him to go,” and called for the government to “black bag” liberal judges. He continued, “Anybody throwing a rock, anybody threatening with a knife, a federal officer, just instantly shoot them.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 8/25/25]
Hoyt also argued for Trump to go “Old Testament” on his political enemies. He continued, “Houses raided, I’d have gone through all their stuff, I would have done everything. I would take and charge them with as many possible things as I could. And the — whatever the worst thing possible is, that's what I would do, because they tried to do it to me.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 10/17/25]
In November, he lamented getting “scammed” by Trump’s second presidency, saying, “We were promised a dictator and we didn't get one. I thought we were going to get a real one, and we didn’t.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 11/22/25]
Often Hoyt’s political commentary comes in response to videos from right-wing media, and he frequently turns to Fox News. He also uses footage of anti-ICE and anti-immigrant protests from Turning Point USA through its Frontlines initiative and reacts to videos from right-wing personalities like Dave Rubin or Carl Benjamin (known online as Sargon of Akkad).
His outlandish reactions, honed on video game and streaming content, are frequently directed at immigrants, left-wing politicians, and the LGBTQ community, among others:
In April, Hoyt claimed, “Every trans kid is a victim of a parent with mental illness.” [The Express Tribune, 4/6/25]
In July, he said that if he was a politician he would “put in prison or to institutionalize 2% of the population at a minimum.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 7/17/25]
In August, he argued, “We should do as many things as possible to stop people from voting.” He added, “If I could figure out a way to stop 80% of the population from voting, I would do it,” telling his audience, “How do you win to make sure that Democrats don't get elected? Remove the systems that get Democrats elected. No more mail-in ballots, don't count illegals on the census, redraw all the districts and get rid of the Democrat districts.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 8/19/25]
In October, Hoyt called for anti-ICE protesters to be used for “compelled slave labor.” He called for mass arrests and felony convictions to “effectively disenfranchise them out of the voting system” but argued ICE shouldn’t injure protesters, saying, “I'm not a fan of that, only because I would want to utilize their bodies for compelled slave labor. That's the only reason.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 10/8/25]
In October, Hoyt also advocated for ICE to detain people in front of their children, saying, “I think they should do it more.” He said, “I guess I don't have a heart. I'm totally OK with it. I think they should do it more. Just because you have your kids with you doesn't mean that you're immune to consequences.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 10/11/25]
In November, he said that “as a white person, I would never vote for” Mamdani “in a million years.” He said, “As a white person, I would never vote for this guy. Never. Not in a million years. Even though I agree with him on a lot of these topics.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 11/5/25]
He called for the deportation of residents who are in the U.S. legally if they are “causing trouble.” He then bartered, “I see Trump deport their ass, then maybe — maybe I'll vote for him for the third term.” [YouTube, Asmongold TV, 11/28/25]
Hoyt’s political commentary has led to some consequences. In October 2024, he was suspended from Twitch after claiming he didn’t “give a fuck” about civilians killed by Israel and declared that Palestinians had an “inferior culture.” In May, Hoyt was edited out of a rapper’s video that featured several streamers. The rapper, bbno$, claimed he censored people “whose values I do not support” and “emphasized that the funds generated by the music video will be donated to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund.”
Asmongold shifts his focus from streamers to pundits as he cozies up to Nick Fuentes and attacks critics
Hoyt has been vocal about the recent right-wing media infighting over former Tucker Carlson’s interview with white nationalist Nick Fuentes, calling it “one of the best interviews.”
Following right-wing pushback to the interview, Hoyt praised Carlson for dismissing condemnation from other conservative voices, saying, “Absolutely based fucking response. I am not accountable to you, I am accountable to my audience, and that’s it. I love this. Thank God — thank God we’re moving away from this weird virtue-signaling garbage.”
After Fuentes said on his show that he wants to “collaborate” with Asmongold, Hoyt responded that it’s “not a matter of if, but when.” He also acknowledged that “Nick brings in views” and said of Fuentes’ politics, “Some I agree with, some I don't. ... It's not like I agree with everything he says, but I agree with a lot of it.”
Hoyt also argued against some of those who criticized Carlson for interviewing Fuentes, saying, “Let's say theoretically, somebody you think is a Nazi, right, gains a tremendous amount of prominence inside of a political space. Do you think that it’s a good idea to not like — how long do you think you should pretend like they don’t exist until you acknowledge that?”
He has even gone as far as to say fascists and neo-Nazis “have a solution” to political problems, adding, “You might not like it.”

“We need to get these people out”: Right-wing pundits cheer Trump’s calls for “remigration”
Written by Payton Armstrong
Published 12/08/25 mma
Right-wing media figures are applauding President Donald Trump and his administration for their apparent support of “remigration,” a far-right immigration policy associated with forced migration, mass deportations, and ethnic cleansing. These figures said remigration and “reverse migration” are “critical,” “necessary,” and “what we need.”
The administration’s support for remigration was also celebrated by prominent white nationalist media figures, who declared that “Trump promises us the best immigration policy possible: NO NON-WHITES.”
The Trump administration is seemingly embracing “remigration,” a policy associated with ethnic cleansing and mass deportations that has been pushed by the far right
- Following the November 26 shooting of two National Guard members near the White House by an Afghan national who entered the U.S. under a resettlement program, Trump said “only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation” and vowed to “permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries.”Reuters reported that “the comments mark a further escalation of migration measures Trump has ordered since the shooting on Wednesday that investigators say was carried out by an Afghan national who entered the U.S. in 2021 under a resettlement program.” The following day, the Department of Homeland Security echoed Trump’s post, writing “Remigration now.” Reuters, [11/28/25; NBC News, 11/28/25; Twitter/X, 11/28/25]
- “Remigration” is a far-right policy associated with forced migration and ethnic cleansing “with the goal of creating white ethnostates in Western countries.”It has become a signature issue among far-right activists and political parties in Europe and the term was popularized by far-right Austrian anti-immigration activist Martin Sellner, who, according to a profile in The Washington Post, “argues that each race would be happier in its own geographic corner.” Anti-migrant extremists spread the term alongside their attempts to mainstream the racist “great replacement” conspiracy theory, which holds that political elites are secretly plotting to bring millions of people from poor, nonwhite countries to the United States and Western Europe. Wired, [5/29/25; The Guardian, 10/3/24; The Washington Post, 9/28/24]
- Mainstream media outlets have largely failed in the last year to put Trump’s planned “remigration” policies into appropriate context.When Trump called for “remigration” on the 2024 campaign trail, Media Matters found that major outlets failed to contextualize the proposal as a form of ethnic cleansing, and earlier this year, mainstream media almost entirely ignored news that the Trump administration is reportedly reorganizing the State Department to include a new “Office of Remigration.” Media Matters, [6/13/25, 10/1/24]
- Prominent white nationalist media figures praised Trump’s support for “reverse migration,” celebrating that “Trump promises us the best immigration policy possible: NO NON-WHITES” and saying his Truth Social post “had everything that we'd been wanting to hear for a long time.” White nationalist streamer Nick Fuentes, who has advocated against immigrants for years, said of Trump’s post: “This is a great post. Remigration, pausing Third World migration permanently. … It had everything that we'd been wanting to hear for a long time.” Jared Taylor, publisher of the white nationalist online magazine American Renaissance, wrote: “Donald Trump promises us the best immigration policy possible: NO NON-WHITES. He says he will also boot all foreigners who are incompatible with Wesern Civilization, and that ‘REVERSE MIGRATION’ is the only cure. Bravo! I didn't think he had it in him. Now, action, please.” Media Matters, [12/4/25; Rumble, America First, 12/1/25; The New Yorker, 11/18/25; Twitter/X, 11/28/25; Southern Poverty Law Center, accessed 12/2/25]
- ### Right-wing media praised Trump and backed “remigration” and “reverse migration” as “necessary” and “based”
- Trump ally and podcaster Benny Johnson praised the president’s “tour-de-force post” and called for “net-zero immigration, negative immigration, and then remigration, which is critical.” Johnson, who has repeatedly been on ICE ride-alongs in recent months, said that he is “calling for a 1924 Immigration Act” because the “official United States foreign population stands at 53 million people,” adding, “We need a time of zero immigration, net-zero immigration, negative immigration, and then remigration, which is critical.” As noted by Smithsonian Magazine, the 1924 Johnson-Reed Act “marked the start of a dark chapter in the nation’s immigration history” and “drastically cut the total number of immigrants allowed in each year and effectively cut off all immigration from Asia.” YouTube, *The Benny Show,* [12/1/25; Smithsonian Magazine, 5/19/20; Media Matters, 11/20/25]
- Podcaster and Fox News contributor Brett Cooper argued that “remigration” is “necessary.”Cooper added that “through their toxic empathy, both the left and the right … have helped overrun our country with refugees and migrants that do not assimilate and, quite frankly, hate it here.” YouTube, *The Brett Cooper Show,* [11/29/25]
- Infowars host Alex Jones read Trump’s “reverse migration” post and said, “Bravo, absolutely, that is what we need.”Jones said that “reverse migration” is “the opposite of replacement migration,” seemingly in reference to the racist “great replacement” conspiracy theory. Infowars, *Alex Jones Show,* [11/28/25]
- Trump ally and Pentagon press corps member Laura Loomer shared DHS’ remigration post and wrote, “Just make it happen already. Let’s start with the Muslims too.” Twitter/X, [11/28/25; The New York Times, 12/2/25]
- Right-wing streamer Zack Hoyt, known online as Asmongold, read Trump’s “reverse migration” comments and declared that “this might be the most based post he's ever made. I am so happy about this, I really am.”After reading Trump’s demand for “reverse migration,” he added, “This is the kind of shit — like, if he actually does this, I'm going to be so happy.” The Atlantic profiled Hoyt and reported that he had “an average of more than 2.2 million people tuning in to Twitch at any given moment,” and quoted journalist Nathan Grayson’s new book Stream Big, arguing Hoyt is “comparable in reach to ‘mainstream television networks like CNN and Fox during prime-time slots and major events.’” YouTube, [11/28/25; The Atlantic, 4/25/25]
- OnThe Charlie Kirk Show, producer Andrew Kolvet said that “we do need remigration” and “an immigration moratorium.” Kolvet continued: “We need to get these people out. We need to make sure that their 15 children are not indoctrinated in the same ideologies and filling up our classrooms with this garbage.” Rumble, *The Charlie Kirk Show*, [12/1/25]
- Newsmax host Lidia Curanaj said that Trump is “concluding that reverse migration is now the only course of action” adding, “It’s about time.” Curanaj told the audience, “To all of you who say this is too extreme, how dare you, I say this to President Trump: Thank you. And it's about time.” Newsmax, *Carl Higbie Frontline*, [11/28/25]

[CLIP BEGINS]
DECOY VOICE (YOUTUBE PERSONALITY): I just wonder if even the military can save a place like deep blue Portland. As over in Japan—
[CLIP ENDS]
ZACK HOYT (HOST): They absolutely can. The way that you do it is you take all of these people, you arrest all of them, you charge them with felonies, you change the federal law so people with felonies can't vote in elections, and then you effectively disenfranchise them out of the voting system. That way, nobody has to deal with them anymore. And if they have a problem with that and they cause issues, then you put them in prison and you force them to work. There you go. Problem solved.
...
HOYT: Just put spikes on the vehicles? As much as I would want them to run over the protesters, I think that would cause issues. And, also, if you run over the protesters, I don't really care if they do it or not, but I wouldn't really -- I don't think it's necessary.
Like, if a citizen gets their car surrounded, I think they have the right to drive through the protesters. I do, because it's endangering their life, and every person has a right to self defense and self preservation.
That being said, if let's say, you run over their leg, well, then we're going to have to fix their leg, and it costs a lot of money. And then you can't make them work in the prison because their leg could be broken or their arm could be broken. So it causes you to lose money in the long term. So I'm not a fan of that, only because I would want to utilize their bodies for compelled slave labor. That's the only reason. It's not like I have a moral obligation against it. Absolutely not.

Right-wing streamer says “we should do as many things as possible to stop people from voting”
Zach Hoyt, also known as “Asmongold”: “I think that if we could do more things and put up more hurdles and speed bumps for people to vote, that would be good. ... If I could figure out a way to stop 80% of the population from voting, I would do it.”

From the August 18, 2025, edition of Asmongold TV, streamed on YouTube
ZACK HOYT (HOST): Basically, my outlook on it is, I don't know whether mail-in ballots - Like, I am of the mindset that I think we should do as many things as possible to stop people from voting. I think most people that vote are retarded. And I think that if we could do more things and put up more hurdles and speed bumps for people to vote, that would be good. Because most people that vote are retards, and so I don't wanna have that happen. Straight up. If I could figure out a way to stop 80% of the population from voting, I would do it. “Crazy take, but based." See, everybody thinks that -- everybody thinks this is crazy. But anybody that like -- I mean, I've played classic WOW before. I know what the average person thinks like. Trust me. I'm right. Trust me. Trust me. Trust me. I know it doesn't sound good to say, but it's true.
...
See that's what they're trying to do, is that -- how do you win to make sure that Democrats don't get elected? Remove the systems that get Democrats elected. No more mail-in ballots, don't count illegals on the census, redraw all the districts and get rid of the Democrat districts. And then whenever the vote happens, for them to vote on losing indefinitely, as soon as they don't vote, then you arrest them and now you kick them out of Congress. Like, I mean yeah. I mean, it's -- they're really -- they're going all the way with this shit.
