During the summer of 2016, the network started several shows with Wayne Dupree and pastor Mark Burns. During the third presidential debate, Donald Trump live streamed their coverage of the debates on his Facebook page. In October 2016, the network received $40,000 in donations. On October 24, in collaboration with the network, Trump launched a nightly newscast on his Facebook page. Several commentators wondered whether the network may collaborate with Trump to form "Trump TV". Seales, in response, told Business Insider that the speculation was unfounded. Meanwhile, Trump told WLW that he wasn't interested in setting up the network after the end of the election. According to Seales, Trump "watches the network a lot" on his private jet during his campaign and that Trump appreciated the network for showing his crowds. Seales also stated that he was in regular communication with Dan Scavino, Trump's director of Social Media. On December 7, 2016, it was announced Right Side Broadcasting Network will have access to the White House Press Room. During Donald 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.
Controversies and issues
In April 2017, RSBN host Nick Fuentes said "Who runs the media? Globalists. Time to kill the globalists" and "I want the people that run CNN to be arrested and deported or hanged because this is deliberate. This is not an accident It is malicious intent. There is a design, there is an agenda here." Fuentes also said that "The First Amendment was not written for Muslims" in the two-paragraph transcript. RSBN issued an apology, calling them "unacceptable" and "inappropriate". In August 2017, after attending the controversial Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Fuentes left Boston University. He has stated he intended to enroll at Auburn University after receiving death threats, though he never did enroll. In July 2017, Callum Borchers of Washington Post reported that Right Side Broadcasting faces problems with ad money after YouTube adopted rules regarding "advertiser-friendly content."
Music
All music played on RSBN is original and recorded exclusively for RSBN by Jacob Seales. The most notable song "The American Dreamer", is the RSBN version of Trump's rally entrance song.
