In July 2015, Joe Seales began live streaming rallies for candidate
Donald Trump during the
2016 presidential election. After his videos began to accumulate over a million views, Seales tapped into the demand for unedited Trump footage. Thus, Seales created Right Side Broadcasting to "show the full context" of Trump's speeches. Since RSBN began gaining in popularity the company has accumulated hundreds of millions of views on its
YouTube channel. In October 2016, the company received $40,000 (~$ in ) in donations. On October 24, in collaboration with the RSBN, Trump launched a nightly newscast on his Facebook page. Several commentators wondered whether the company may collaborate with Trump to form "Trump TV". Seales, in response, told
Business Insider that the speculation was "unfounded." Trump told
WLW that he was not interested in setting up the company after the election. According to Seales, Trump "watched the network a lot" on his private jet during his 2016 presidential campaign and that Trump appreciated the company for showing his crowds. On December 7, 2016, Right Side Broadcasting Network was given access to the
White House Press Room during Trump's presidency. After Trump's press conference on January 11, 2017,
Drudge Report featured the network's feed on their front page. On January 19, 2017, the network live-streamed the
DeploraBall. In August of 2017, RSBN parted ways with far-right political commentator
Nick Fuentes, whose show
America First had previously aired on their network. The split was announced shortly after Fuentes announced that he had attended the
Unite the Right rally in
Charlottesville, Virginia.
2020 presidential election coverage Right Side Broadcasting Network continued covering all of the campaign rallies for President Trump from the beginning of 2020. The first 2020 campaign rally took place in
Toledo, Ohio, on January 9, 2020. RSBN covered campaign rallies for Trump until he took a hiatus from campaigning due to the
COVID-19 pandemic. RSBN began covering campaign rallies once more after Trump began campaigning again with his
June 2020 rally in
Tulsa, Oklahoma. RSBN also covered
Trump's speech and fireworks celebration at
Mount Rushmore on July 3, 2020. Over the span of the
2020 presidential election, RSBN's coverage of Trump's campaign rallies received over 127 million views on YouTube. == See also ==
