CNN just got caught stealing on live television in Texas,
of all places. This is a bold move,
even for CNN. Texas is the one state where people still read
the fine print and own a lawyer. And
they didn't just steal a quote. They didn't just steal a scoop.
They stole an entire show, font,
colors, and all. And they stole it from the one man
on the internet with an entire legal team
on speed dial and absolutely zero chill.
Steven Crowder, guys. Now, here's a twist, guys. Wednesday
night in Fort Worth. They didn't just copy the man's homework.
They drove to his school, sat at
his desk, and then asked the teacher for extra credit.
Then, of course, the anchors called it
a twist, a hybrid model, if you will. Refreshing, sure.
Refreshing like a stolen car with a brand
new air freshener. Now it escalates.
Crowder fired back with two words, lawyer up. Then he
declared war on all three, CNN, Jubilee, and Talarico.
is a trademark it's registered it's active right now
its first recorded use was December 5th 2017
filed July 1st 2019 registered January 14th 2020 there
is no doubt about this lawsuit is in the
works right now let me just tell you we are suing not just CNN
and Jubilee James Talarico as well
James Talarico needs Republicans to break
for him what better way than for the average voter who's
not paying a ton of attention to tune in to a town hall
and see a very familiar conservative
logo brand format or maybe Jubilee has generated all
of their profit off of a completely unoriginal
idea disguised it and then the mask came off
or maybe CNN suggested well you know what changed
my mind has more brand familiarity
because billions of people have seen the meme in the
video so so we don't know we need to find out
who flagrantly disregarded right the trademark
who flagrantly plagiarized who profited off of it most
and for what degree of time so this what you
just saw is um what you would call legal nomenclature
and i'm a lawyer so i don't want to
miss that right um a slam dunk it just comes down
to hey do you uh owe us for all the revenue of
coverage using change my mind as a brand
and logo somewhere at CNN headquarters right now an intern
is googling what is a trademark yeah with some trembling fingers
and of course the man in the
borrowed chair you know the same James Talarico
who once said god is non-binary he's now saying
that he was just being provocative
or provocative yeah god being binary according to james talarico
is being provocative ah yes of course theology
but make it a prank video right gotcha lord okay
Meanwhile, Ken Paxton is climbing.
Insider Advantage just put him ahead.
And early voting in Texas is now open.
Talk about timing, guys. CNN couldn't have planned
it worse if they hired Jubilee to plan it.
Oh, wait. So today, we're going to go ahead and lay
it all out. The theft, the money,
the trademarked CNN's army of lawyers somehow missed everything
that the media conveniently skipped over.

o'clock eastern the cameras roll
the lights ablaze cnn's aaron burnett takes
the stage jubilee's crew is basically running around
in headsets and looking very them glowing like
a neon sign at a truck stop diner three words
change my mind that's right
so here's the joke guys that famous sign the change my mind sign
that is the one that launched a million memes.
And it was born right here, right in Fort Worth,
Texas, of all places, a college campus across town.
So CNN didn't just steal the idea. They
brought the stolen goods back to the scene of the birth.
Now, this is not a heist, guys. This is
more like a homecoming parade.
CNN, they have this whole building full of producers, and none of them
noticed that, hey, they're copying somebody else's sign.
Probably not a good idea. Hard to trust a
network that can't even spot the most famous meme in America.

Let's rewind just for a second. Outside
Texas Christian University, one guy, one folding table,
one coffee mug, one handmade sign. That
guy is Steven Crowder. No CNN budget, no studio,
no army of producers, just a guy, a sign, and a
whole lot of nerve. Now, before these,
it had been more than a few moons, years, since I was last on
campus, and for obvious reasons.
It was an ever-increasing risk that required more security,
and a lot of students were carrying
this on and doing it themselves on campus. But as a lot of
that stopped as a semi reluctant participant felt compelled
to bring this
back luckily this go-around the team around me
was top-notch I can't thank
them enough was basically a small army we
were able to do it in this climate
with minimal risk that means no prior announcement that means really no
interaction with the crowd that can get riled up
and in a lot of ways that's
what changed my mind was originally meant
to be it's two people sitting at a
table having a genuine conversation where hopefully
no one feels pressured to
be performative the true goal by the end
of this is that someone maybe actually
changes their mind maybe me usually not but maybe
and the good news is the pop
up crowd was respectful and the conversation was highly productive what
part of progressivism do you think I mean like racial division
racial division gender division classist
division. I mean, you don't see the right saying,
hey, these people are fascists and they want to
genocide you. No. So the deal was pretty simple.
Sit down, disagree with me, try to change my mind.
And people sat down, students, professors,
activists, people who were very, very sure
that they were right. Some of them,
they walked away a little less sure. So back in February 2018,
Crowder posted one photo from that campus
and the internet went bananas. That actual picture there
became one of the most copied meme templates on the planet.
You had to have seen it, guys. Your
kids have seen it. Your mailman's seen it.
Your mailman has probably made one. And Crowder paid
for it. He was mocked. He was attacked.
He was banned. He kept going anyway, though. When CNN
calls this format refreshing, remember,
it was refreshing eight years ago as well. So let's go
ahead and play a game, shall we?
Not Monopoly, not like Trouble or Connect Four. It's called
Let's Spot the Difference.
Now, on the left side, Steven Crowder's sign. Now, on the right,
you got CNN's shiny stage change and my in white
and mine in red interesting two chairs one table
one debate wow this is a tough game take
your time guys i'll wait for you so CNN didn't borrow this
they essentially photocopied it and then they laminated it
and then they put it on national
TV and called it news this is a billion dollar network guys
with a building full of lawyers and
lawyers who read every word before it airs
and not one of them seemed to have raised a hand and said
hey uh isn't this Crowder's thing not one
of them bold strategy let's just go ahead and see how it
plays out do you have a friend who still trusts CNN go ahead
and send them this video guys don't
even say a word just send the video let them change their own mind
and if they can't then
you know whose table to sit at so check
this out it gets even worse than that right well worse if
you work at CNN of course
because they didn't just copy it they bragged about it a twist a hybrid
model refreshing one anchor actually even said
that it might actually change town halls going
forward oh it'll change them all right mostly
in court according to Crowder CNN said change my mind
at least 10 times 10 this is not a coincidence
this is like a commercial it's like a kid copying
your homework turning it in and asking for extra credit
then meanwhile your name is still sitting
on page number two so then Stephen Crowder he
answered two words lawyer up we should officially
announce that we're suing maybe jubilee has generated all
of their profit off of a completely
unoriginal idea disguised it and then the mask came off
or maybe cnn suggested well you know
what change my mind has more brand familiarity
because billions of people have seen the meme
in the video so so we don't know we need to find out
who flagrantly disregarded right the trademark
who flagrantly plagiarized who profited off of it most
and for what degree of time so this what you
just saw is um what you would call legal nomenclature
and i'm a lawyer so i don't want to
misspeak um a slam dunk uh a sports reference on time
and it just comes down to hey do you uh owe
us for all the revenue of coverage using change my mind as a brand
and logo uh or does it go back
further than that because this is a sort
of tacit acknowledgement that it was always a ripoff and
and this isn't just because like it's
because this place this firm this outfit was rejected
this is where let's just be honest we're all
a bunch of rejects we're all a bunch of rejects
and i was rejected from cable news
and this exact concept and like no no it'll never work
and just like YouTube, just like online streaming
just like video podcast space which no one wanted
where we were the first to step in we incurred
that risk we were the ones who paid the cost
and these other people swoop
in they get some investors sometimes non-profit donors they steal
it and profit that's why
and so we just got to figure out hey CNN if it's not you just you know
you guys can just finger Jubilee.
Let us know that it was them. And Jubilee, if it's not you,
you can let us know Tallarico.
One of you guys is going to be the one to plead out first and
we'll allow it. But you better do it quickly.
Now, somewhere in a CNN office, a phone started
ringing and it hasn't stopped ringing.
So Crowder said he was flattered, actually. He was flattered.
He was flattered that CNN found his idea so innovative.
Such a shame that they forgot who
invented it. Then he drew a line in the Texas dirt.
He doesn't want James Tallarico to ruin
Texas. And Texas heard that one loud and clear.
So let's be honest, guys. CNN, they had a trust
problem long before this.
Millions of Americans stopped believing them years ago. So why risk it?
Like, why steal? Well, follow the money.
Jubilee has 11 million subscribers on YouTube. Young
viewers, phone-scrolling viewers,
the kind of viewers that CNN hasn't seen since flip phones.
Yeah, it's been a while. And so CNN said the quiet part out loud.
They told reporters that
this partnership would help launch big live events
that feed their new subscription product.
Translation, they took Steven Crowder's brand
and used it to sell their own stuff. This is
kind of like borrowing your neighbor's lawnmower,
mowing the whole street for cash, and then never
giving it back, and then calling yourself a landscaping genius.
So what could CNN lose here?
Well, nobody knows yet, but in trademark fights,
a court can order you to stop using the mark,
pay some damages, sometimes even hand over the profits.
Now imagine that. CNN's money in Steven
Crowder's pocket. Copycat News Network?
Eh, that's a new way to say CNN. It's got a nice ring to it.
What do you guys think about that?
Now, Thursday, Crowder walks onto his own set. No dramatic music.
He really doesn't even need it. And he says it plainly.
We're suing. Not just CNN. Not just
Jubilee. James Tallarico as well. Three targets.
Let's go ahead and break it down slowly so that
Even CNN's legal department can follow along.
CNN put it on TV. Jubilee helped build it. And
Tallarico sat in the chair and smiled for the cameras.
Everybody gets a turn.
So Crowder says that he wants to find out
who flagrantly ignored the trademark and who made
the most money off of it. Now, this is not a lawsuit.
This is more like an audit with a grudge.
And right now, it's not clear that the paperwork has
been officially filed. So let's call it what
it is. Ward declared paperwork coming soon.
But everybody wants to know one thing. Will he settle?
Two words, Stephen, don't settle.
Because if Crowder lets this slide, the next little guy
doesn't even stand a chance.
So, some folks are asking, come on, it's three words, why go to war?
It's a fair question, right? But here's the answer.
Stephen Crowder took the risk himself.
He sat at that table while people screamed in his face.
He's even been a target of violence.
He paid for it himself. He owns 100% of his company.
There's no network checks. There's
no corporate parent. There's no safety net.
And he built this platform. He built this format for
one reason. Cable news wouldn't touch anything like it.
So cable news ignored it for years.
They grabbed it the second that it got popular.
This is not flattery, folks. This is like a
pickpocket with good manners.
And Crowder says Jubilee has burned him before. That's a story
for another day, guys. But his line is pretty simple.
Copy it, profit off of it, and use it
for propaganda. Now you got a problem.
You guys remember Vanilla Ice, right? Ice, ice, baby.
Yeah. He swore up and down it wasn't under pressure.
Everybody heard it, Rob. Everybody.
So zoom out, guys, because this is bigger than one sign.
Picture a giant vacuum cleaner,
big as a building, CNN logo attached to the slap
to the side of it. And it's just kind of like
sucking up every good idea that the little guy's ever had.
The guy who started a podcast in his
garage, the mom who started a channel at her kitchen table,
the college kid with a camera
and some crazy idea. They take the risk.
They pay the bills. They get banned and mocked and
demonetized. And then the big old networks roll in,
scoop it up, slaps on a new logo,
and calls it innovation. They didn't make anything anymore.
They just kind of reheat it like a gas
station burrito that's been there for 17 days.
Same mystery inside. Shinier wrapper.
Now, here's where the road ends.
Kill off the creators, and one day there's nothing left to
copy. Reruns, reruns, a dead internet, and here's the political jolt.
When your own messages isn't
selling. Borrow a conservative format and hope nobody notices.
We noticed. Now, quick lesson,
guys. No textbook required. No pop quiz. I promise.
You can't own a word. Nobody owns change.
Nobody owns mine. But you can own a brand that you built.
This is called Trademark. And Change
My Mind is a registered trademark
with Steven Crowder's company behind it. One registration
even covers merch and hats and hoodies and t-shirts.
Think of Michael Buffer, the boxing
announcer, let's get ready to rumble.
Yeah, he trademarked that line decades ago. But you got to
keep in mind, use it to make money without asking.
Get ready to rumble with his lawyers. And it's the
same idea here, guys. Now, here's the funny part.
CNN knows all of this. They have a logo. They have
show names. Try slapping CNN on your own news show
and watch how fast the letters show up in your
mailbox. Rules for thee, samples for me.
So, either CNN's lawyers didn't check, or they
checked and just didn't care.
Neither answer looks very good in front of a judge.
So now, let's go ahead and talk about the man
in the borrowed chair, James Tallarico,
Senate candidate, seminary student, part-time comedian, apparently.
Yeah, because on CNN's
stage, he said this old comment about God
and gender was just him being provocative.
So, it was a bit. Theology, but make it a TikTok.
Problem is, he didn't say it once. He called God
masculine feminine and everything in between he said sex
is a spectrum sex is a spectrum like a
rainbow then he admitted some past comments missed
the mark missed the mark buddy this is not a
missed shot this is like a different gym
then came abortion a catholic voter a theology professor
sat across from him and James Talarico told
her that as fellow christians the bible is silent on
abortion she didn't buy it my to his voting record
in austin including votes against funding texas's
alternatives to abortion program? Yeah, just kidding.
Works for one joke, not for a whole
record. Now, picture a kid in middle school.
He thinks guns are scary. Only cops and soldiers
should have them. Case closed. Then one night, he clicks a video.
Steven Crowder, a folding table,
a college student arguing about the second amendment.
The kid watches one, then another
one, then ten more, and he's up way past his bedtime.
And then something clicks. The argument's
on the other side. They just don't hold up.
Mind changed. That story is not rare. In fact,
millions of Americans have one just like it.
A video, a table, a moment when the light bulb
finally came on. Exactly.
So this is what CNN really tried to grab. Not three words,
credibility. You know, the kind that you just can't buy.
You earn it one tough conversation
at a time. Now, Charlie Kirk understood that.
He carried that same fearless spirit into campuses
all across America with turning points. Prove me wrong.
Respect. That's right, guys. So don't be
shocked if CNN rolls out prove me wrong next week with new fonts,
maybe some new colors,
change the hex codes on them. Yeah, your turn.
What changed your mind? Tell us down below.
So Texas, look at the calendar.
Early voting opens Monday, October 19th. It runs through
Friday, October 30th. Election day is November 3rd.
And this race, folks, it's a dead heat.
insider advantage just put Ken Paxton ahead,
another poll has him up half a point after
trailing. It's funny how that works.
The closer we get to election day, the more pollsters suddenly
remember how to count. Now, think about the stakes here.
A Senate term is six years, not two, six.
This is longer than some marriages and way more expensive.
This one seat could help decide who
controls the Senate and whether President Donald
J. Trump's agenda moves forward or gets parked in
a ditch somewhere. So Texans, grab your ID,
grab your neighbor, go vote. Not in Texas.
Well, if you're not in Texas,
send this video to somebody who is in Texas. Because CNN tried
to borrow Crowder's credibility to sell James Tallarico
to conservatives, and it blew right
up in their face. Now, folks, this is the bottom line.
CNN took a format, Crowder's taking it back,
and Texas gets the final word.
