Introducing an Elephant in the Room

A few months ago I was about to brag that my YouTube channel had passed 1 million views. Six weeks later, it’s now passed 12 million.

I’m happy to report that over the past two months, the video channel – Elephants in Rooms – has exploded in popularity. We've now jumped to 200,000 subscribers, on top of the 30,000 of you here.

As many of you know, I used to write more directly about the politics of the day. But over the past year, I’ve shifted toward what you might call politics-adjacent questions—issues that help people think, not just react. Less tribal heat, more human curiosity.

What I've found more compelling and more useful is digging into these questions that get people to question how and why the world works the way it does. I'm not trying to “win” a fight. I want us all to learn why the fight exists in the first place.

The feedback tells me it’s working. People are engaging—not just watching, but thinking, pushing back, forwarding links to friends, and starting conversations I actually want to have.

If you’ve ignored the video links so far, fair enough. But it might be time to give one a try. And if you’re already watching—thanks for being part of it.

Moving forward, these newsletters will sync up to the twice-weekly videos. Each one will come with a quick note here—topic overview, what surprised me, full script link, and anything else that didn’t make it on camera.

More soon!

PS: Here’s an easy one for you. Do Jews control the media?

I go way past the simplistic memes and headlines. Give it a watch! Or a read.
