Rep. Matt Gaetz Calls The National Pulse the ‘Centerpiece of Intellectual Populist Conservatism’.

Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) recently announced his support and appreciation for The National Pulse, suggesting more conservatives join up to the membership driven website which stands opposed to corporate advertiser cash and billionaire donors who dictate the editorial position of so many news sites.

“The National Pulse is the centerpiece of intellectual populist conservatism,” said Gaetz, a long-term reader and contributor.

The members-only side of the site, known as Pulse+, recently launched, with partnerships with Steve Bannon’s War Room, the Fleccas Talks podcast, the Steak for Breakfast Show, as well as the Wake Up Right morning newsletter for conservatives.

“In Congress, when people talk about the thought leading investigations and analysis, we are very frequently talking about The National Pulse,” Gaetz commented, before concluding:

“I’m a subscriber [to the Pulse+] because I never want to miss a thing.”

– Rep. Matt Gaetz

Membership of Pulse+ comes with a whole flurry of benefits from as little as $7.50 per month – or the price of a Big Mac in Italy. Members also get a private chat channel with National Pulse staff and leadership, as well as exclusive “Editor’s Notes” which help contextualize certain stories or provide crucial “behind the scenes” information.

In the coming weeks, Pulse+ members will receive exclusive content from Stephen K. Bannon, Raheem Kassam, Fleccas, Steak for Breakfast, and more. Joining is extremely quick, simple, and your first month is completely free.

Welcome to Your New ‘The National Pulse’ Experience.

People often say, “I don’t know about you, but…” Well, I do know about you. Mostly because I am you. So I know you’re sick of ugly, artificially elongated articles with their anonymous sources and a thousand Pfizer or Bud Light ads assaulting your eyeballs. That’s why this article itself is short, even though you’ll learn a lot. That’s what we do here. We respect you and your time.

Over the last year we’ve been in the lab designing a new ‘The National Pulse’ experience that can stay true to our “real news” mantra instituted in 2020. We tell the truth no matter how ugly, we provided sources, and we don’t rely on corporate advertisers who dictate our editorial positions. That’s where you come in

We’re partnering with top shows such as Bannon’s War Room, Fleccas Talks, and Steak for Breakfast to bring you bonus content, merch, and unique insights. We’ve operated a successful “Fund Real News” membership that served as the BETA version of what we’re launching today: the Pulse+, which is ridiculously cheap at just $9 a month (with a first month free), and offers a bunch of awesome bonus features. Find out more, here.

When we say we’re RADICALLY INDEPENDENT, we mean it. And its your participation that allows us to do that. By the people, for the people. It lets us provide a news stream “The Pulse” (you’re looking at it), which remains free, while you reap the rewards of all the member benefits (such as my private editor’s notes). You’ll also sleep soundly at night knowing you’re supporting a real news operation dedicated to punching through the legacy, corporate media. Thank you.

The Pulse is your home for radically independent, smart curation. With your help, we can make news great again.
