By now, most Assyrians have likely heard of Patrick Bet-David, an author, entrepreneur and founder of the extremely successful PBD Podcast. His podcast and channel on Youtube currently has 2.3 million subscribers, with millions of weekly downloads and listenership across all his social media channels.
On U.S election night, his media company hosted "Election Night In America", with hundreds in attendance, and panel of political and social media expert, which went on for about 7 hours, until a winner was declared. That stream alone has been viewed close to 5.5 million times since Tuesday Nov 5th.
But today, I noticed something that really made my day! You see, I rarely watch his podcasts on Youtube and usually just listen to them on my app. But today, I watched his interview with Lara Trump, on Youtube, and was delighted to see that he has the Assyrian flag in his new studio. He is becoming increasingly more and more proud of his Assyrian heritage, something that wasn't known about him when he first started to emerge in media and the business world a few years ago. Can you imagine all the millions watching weekly and seeing that, then deciding to look up who Assyrians are, and getting to learn more about us? I can't ask for a better person to promote us than him, given his current media reach and influence.
