Exciting announcement from Brian Tyler Cohen
So, this is going to be a quick video, but one that I hope that you'll watch. Uh I just want to offer a huge thank you. to everybody who purchased my book, The. Day After. Because of your support, my. book hit number two on the New York. Times bestseller list. It was the second. best-selling book in the United States. for that week, only behind Regime. Change, which is in the midst of a. monster run as the biggest-selling. political nonfiction book of 2026. And look, I obviously don't do the work. for the list, but at heart, I'm still an. English major. I went to a great.
business and engineering college and for. some reason decided to get an English. degree there. I love writing. I wrote. about politics when I wasn't getting. paid for it. I would continue writing. about politics if I wasn't getting paid. for it. So, to be able to do what I love. and to have people willing to read what. I have to say, that fortune is not lost on me. So, thank you. Um I'm going to be immodest here. My. first book, Shameless, two years ago, spoke about the importance of embracing. independent media. I was beating that. drum for years. Now, independent media.
has exploded on the left. Maybe I helped. get that message into the zeitgeist. Maybe it would have happened exactly as. I'd advocated regardless of my work. We'll never know. But now, this book, The Day After, demanded that Democrats. learn to fight and not allow blind. deference to institutions to get in the. way of progress. I really hope that my. book is the beginning of a movement on. the left to fight back, to beat. Republicans at their own game, and to. prioritize outcomes over process. If my. books are in any way prescient, then I. have a lot of optimism about what the.
future of the Democratic Party can look. like. By the way, for those who haven't yet. purchased a copy, if you'd like to. support my work, um it is still. available and I'd love your support. You. can find The Day After anywhere the. books are sold, or you can go to. briantylercohen.com/book. To that end, we're not bystanders here. We get to have a say in what the. Democratic Party looks like moving. forward, what it sounds like moving. forward, what it acts like moving. forward. If you want a Democratic Party. that fights, then supporting some. literature that quite literally demands.
that fight is a good way to send a. message. Remember, our politics is what. we demand of it. If you subscribe to this channel, you know that I quite literally never. try to make myself the story, to a. fault. There are probably fewer than. five personal details that I've ever. shared about myself in my videos because. I don't want any of this to be about me. Um my political coverage and commentary. has always always been about making. politics more accessible to people, period. So, while it is pretty. uncomfortable for me to not just market.
a book that I wrote, but talk about the. success of that book, I do have to make. an exception here and offer my sincere. thanks. Look, I'm not entitled to. anything. I'm not entitled to your time, your views, your clicks, your book. purchases, your money, nothing. I didn't. take it for granted when I had a. thousand subscribers, and I don't take. it for granted now when I have millions. So again, I just want to extend a very. sincere thank you. And more importantly, a promise that I will continue to do. whatever I can to earn your time and.
trust. And finally, I also promise that. I will wait at least two years before. there's another book that I start. hawking. If for nothing else than the. fact that I'm really looking forward to. sleeping for the first time in quite a. few months. Thanks, everybody. Before you go, one quick request. It's. become clear to me that this White House. is dead set on preventing me from. reaching any audience. Trump's decision. to put me as the first name on his. enemies list is a testament to that. But. it didn't quiet down then, and I won't.
do it now. So please do me a favor and. subscribe to this channel, hit the. notification bell to be alerted when I. post new content, and tune in when I. publish videos so that they get picked. up in the algorithm. The link to. subscribe is right here on the screen. And together, let's make sure that we. send a message to this administration. that all they're doing by attacking me. and independent media is making our. platforms all the more powerful. Thanks.
