Show viewership is down about 53% month over month. The 19 full Get MACED shows uploaded in August 2026 have drawn 1,319,463 views. The 14 full shows uploaded in September have drawn 620,647.

Context, in plain terms: totals are each show's current lifetime views grouped by upload month. September has 14 shows against August's 19, and newer shows have had less time to accumulate views. Per show, the median fell about 23% (56,940 to 44,068) and the mean fell about 36%, because August had five shows over 100,000 views.

This dispatch catalogs public YouTube view counts for the Get MACED channel, @NancyRMace. Every figure is a public number from a snapshot re-pulled October 1, 2026, after September closed. September is now complete and includes the September 30 evening show. It is a record of the numbers, not a verdict on them. Readers can judge.

Total views on Get MACED full shows, August 2026 versus September 2026

Total views on full shows by upload month: 1,319,463 (19 shows) in August against 620,647 (14 shows) in September, down 53.0%. Full-length shows only.

The ceiling: five shows over 100,000 in August, none in September

In August, five full shows cleared 100,000 views: 204,694 (August 10), 201,017 (August 26), 168,428 (August 7), 119,078 (August 12) and 103,835 (August 19). In September, none did. The best September show drew 99,536 views ("The Note Police Do NOT Want YOU to See," September 17).

Views per full Get MACED show in upload order, colored by month, with each month's average

Every full show in upload order, August 2 to September 30, with each month's average views per show as a dashed line: 69,445 in August, 44,332 in September.

Per show: both the median and the mean fell

The typical September show drew about 23% fewer views than the typical August show. The larger drop in the total comes from two things in the public numbers: five fewer shows were uploaded, and the top of the range shrank, with no show reaching six figures. At the low end, the September 11 anniversary show drew 6,352 and the "$5,000 Checks" show drew 8,792.

The 14th September show is last night's episode on the last U.S. troops leaving Iraq, uploaded September 30. It has 7,892 views and 105 comments so far and is still climbing. Only the 9/11 show is lower among September's 14 shows, so it sits 13th of 14 for now.

Views per day covered is simple arithmetic on the totals: August 3 to August 31 is 29 days and September 1 to September 30 is 30 days. It is not a daily measurement.

What this does not show

These numbers do not say why viewership moved, and this dispatch does not claim a cause. These are lifetime views by upload month: September has 14 shows against August's 19, older shows have had more days to accumulate views than newer ones, and a month-to-month total is not an age-matched comparison. Shows uploaded in the last few days, including the September 30 episode, are still climbing.

Sources and related coverage

Methodology: All counts are public YouTube view counts for full-length Get MACED shows, re-pulled with yt-dlp on October 1, 2026, after September closed. The 14 September shows include the September 30 evening Iraq episode. Each show's current lifetime views are grouped by its upload month in Eastern time. A "full show" is a member of the channel's own FULL EPISODES playlist, plus any channel-only solo episode the playlist missed. Shorts and other clips are excluded. View counts are point-in-time, older videos have had more days to accumulate views, and recent uploads are still climbing.
