welcome back to another episode of andrew says this week my guest returning again
00:00:10.040
as i call him chad too bad chad prather how are you good sir i'm good it's good to see you man
00:00:15.780
you as well now i do want to reference your book again it sits on my shelf here in the office it's
00:00:21.240
still to this day one of the most cleverly written books am i crazy it's called um has there been
00:00:26.440
another book did i miss one is there talk about another book yet yeah well i'm actually working
00:00:30.880
on something to help people get their life right that everybody's crazy now i'm gonna try to put
00:00:39.120
one out there and get everybody uh on the right track in this crazy world we're living in when
00:00:44.860
are we looking at that coming out we'll see it could be any time i mean literally within the next
00:00:49.320
few weeks so we'll see we'll see but uh yeah it's probably this book actually we're probably just
00:00:54.620
gonna give it away honestly that's how important i feel like it is well it's really cool the first
00:01:00.020
thing i wanted to talk to you about is something that came up last night and this morning the sports
00:01:05.060
illustrated cover now i don't want to be too mean have you seen this yeah i have the sports illustrated
00:01:10.660
swimsuit edition now i noticed that on instagram if you try to comment anything i told my friends i
00:01:17.580
was like get how much do you guys want to give me if i just comment the word fat
00:01:21.420
and you can and if you try to do that it it stops you it says this is flagged um for comments similar
00:01:30.680
to this and says are you sure you want to post it and we're at this point where just the most simple
00:01:35.480
truth and i know that's mean and i know that nobody deserves that but we're at this point where
00:01:39.600
the simplest blunt truth is now being censored what and this isn't the first time sports illustrated
00:01:45.880
has gone really weird like what where do you think they're getting this idea from and where do you
00:01:49.860
think it's going like are they sustaining business based off this does it matter does their magazine
00:01:54.760
sell what do you think you know i i look at these things and honestly to break it down just it'd be
00:02:01.800
as completely clear and as commonsensical as we can be on this you know in a situation like this
00:02:08.880
you are this is what happens when you complete the pendulum sweep swings completely the other way
00:02:17.560
from the bully culture right so we we have this idea that no one should ever be persecuted be oppressed for
00:02:28.320
anything they should never be bullied you know everybody should uh live in a in a perpetual safe
00:02:35.820
space okay so that we fight against any form of victimization to the point where you can't even
00:02:43.720
tell the truth anymore because that truth may offend somebody and therefore be perceived as bullying or
00:02:50.540
victimizing now this is sports illustrated this is the same magazine that puts out the body issue
00:02:57.780
every year that glorifies the athletic form historically speaking the swimsuit issue is another um variation of
00:03:09.140
that which was started to to sell swimsuits right i mean you know every time you'd open up the swimsuit
00:03:14.780
issue they would talk about who the designer of the swimsuit was where you could get the swimsuit
00:03:20.140
and what so on and so forth uh and obviously you know us young adolescent boys had other intentions
00:03:26.520
but when you look at this you you have to realize obesity is a health issue
00:03:34.140
it's not glorifying the athletic form this is not an homage to sport um this is something that is say
00:03:44.140
we dare you to speak out against this we dare you to call this what it is because now we have a label
00:03:51.900
and we can put you in that box you are a fat shamer but let's face it if you took that girl's blood
00:03:59.000
work on the front of that magazine you took that girl's blood work three weeks ago i went and had
00:04:03.400
blood panels done to find out all the things that are wrong with me uh we should all do these things
00:04:08.780
i promise you it's going to come back with a number of deficiencies it's going to come back with elevated
00:04:14.380
levels this is not an image of health this is not a paragon or an example whereby we should emulate
00:04:22.260
this is something that we should call out for the sheer hypocrisy of it because let's face it if you
00:04:29.160
if you were to put out a magazine that put fat men on the front of it and said you know the farmer's
00:04:35.380
diary or whatever and these guys and you get my point this thing would be the ultimate in parodies but
00:04:42.780
when sports illustrate sports illustrated does this then you're not allowed to speak out i you know as a
00:04:48.780
father of three daughters um you know and five kids i want those kids to be as healthy as possible
00:04:56.000
i don't want them getting their body image or their self-image or their sense of self-worth from sports
00:05:00.940
illustrated swimsuit issues but come on culturally we know that that this becomes a problem when we
00:05:08.080
can't even talk about health issues without being uh called persecutors yeah and i'm seeing this a lot
00:05:14.700
you mentioned the health stuff i'm seeing this a lot across the board with many fitness related
00:05:19.240
things i'm seeing commercials from i think it's apple watches or fitbits where they're showing not
00:05:24.360
just i mean i'll call myself fat myself but we're seeing morbidly obese people as an example of health
00:05:31.400
in the media there's that one woman they had i think it's a british model and they say she's
00:05:36.820
struggling with anorexia and she's like 500 pounds and it's it's this weird uh this weird nexus of
00:05:42.840
the universe we've come to where you're right where you can't even speak even on instagram without
00:05:48.300
it being like flagged as a warning and you'll see all the comments are limited to oh this is amazing
00:05:52.940
oh white men are gonna have a problem with with it of course they are problem with everything but i i
00:05:58.820
wonder if you're a child growing up in this and you're gonna see no problem with 400 pounds 500 pounds
00:06:05.540
and you're like this is celebrated nobody can tell you that i'm unhealthy nobody can tell me that i'm
00:06:10.120
that i'm gonna be unattractive or die at 40 it's it's really troubling stuff and i'm not going to
00:06:15.680
be the one who's going to go out and and say you know let's put anorexic models in there let's put
00:06:21.020
ultra unrealistic people in there but there is a line and i always thought that some part of it was
00:06:26.800
to try to strive to be your best and especially in a sports magazine it's like are you going to have
00:06:31.540
like a 250 pound cyclist on the cover of cycling magazine or something like you're not going to do the
00:06:37.340
sport that you want to do if you're taking this as an example and that's just my mean take of the
00:06:42.220
day i guess i guess it's mean now to point out the obvious because again people say you're
00:06:47.540
criticizing somebody or shaming somebody for their appearance that that's not the case that's not the
00:06:52.340
situation this the hypocrisy that we are calling out i would i would say the exact same thing to your
00:06:58.320
point if there was if they had a you know an 80 pound model who was suffering from anorexia i would
00:07:04.180
say this person needs to get some help we all are you know we all have physical flaws and we all need
00:07:11.980
to work on those things i'm not going to parade my bad habits or parade my you know the things that
00:07:19.480
i need to work on in my life whether they're mental psychological physical emotional spiritual whatever
00:07:24.560
they be i'm not parading those out there and say this is the example that people need to emulate
00:07:29.300
yeah it's really interesting especially if you look at something like smoking which has pretty much
00:07:33.640
been eliminated from you know hollywood and there's some things where they have period pieces where
00:07:38.980
they allow it but that has looked at something that's extremely unhealthy and was meant to be
00:07:44.440
taken out of everything you can't advertise cigarettes in canada um i don't know if you knew that but
00:07:49.560
what what you can certainly advertise cheeseburgers and everything else and i'm saying it should all be
00:07:54.940
allowed because you know are we gonna start where's the smoking magazine on the cover where's the sports
00:08:00.540
illustrated with a guy just with a big cigar or somebody smoking 10 pages of them smoking each
00:08:05.720
cigarette i don't know it all comes down to censorship with me and um i think they want to
00:08:10.940
control it it doesn't even matter what it is it could be fat people it could be smoking as long as
00:08:17.060
they're controlling what you can say i think that's the point here and i want to kind of parlay that
00:08:21.980
into asking you about this new twitter leak have you had a chance to see that yet with this twitter
00:08:26.440
engineer in project veritas i have yeah yeah and this is and for those who don't know um we'll put
00:08:33.840
it in after but this is a senior engineer at twitter and we've seen this stuff before from project
00:08:39.300
veritas but it always gets it's out of context but this guy's literally saying we're all communists
00:08:45.400
there i came there became communist we don't treat it like a capitalist uh company we do whatever
00:08:51.560
we want and he even says he's worked four hours a week the last quarter now i don't know any job
00:08:57.800
where you can work four hours a week and and still be hired people could come in and out as if they feel
00:09:03.800
too stressed out they can take a few days off here and there that sort of uh paint the picture as to
00:09:07.920
why twitter is the way it is do you think well i think they're saying the quiet things out loud we
00:09:14.860
we know that this is the reality um you know i i work for blaze tv right i i'm with a conservative
00:09:22.880
leaning pardon me independent broadcaster there's no doubt that we have conversations
00:09:30.980
behind closed doors you know amongst our friends about the way we want our individual programming to
00:09:37.760
go and the way we want to handle our content our shows and and we're we're no question we we will
00:09:43.260
we will talk about being you know conservative in the way that we lean in our opinions in in our
00:09:49.740
you know so i have no question that these folks have the same thing they're going to talk about
00:09:55.740
their ideologies they're going to talk about their leanings both politically and culturally uh and so
00:10:00.820
when it comes out we we tend to be shocked like oh my god i can't believe they're saying these things
00:10:05.820
well of course they're saying these things that's who they are it's it's how they are uh they they fight
00:10:11.120
for you know social socialistic um you know values they fight for censorship uh you know they're scared
00:10:20.860
to death of an elon musk that might come in there and and you know turn things in a different direction
00:10:26.240
i mean i you know look i i saw 40 000 new followers in two days once the announcement was made it was
00:10:33.420
almost like people were shredding paper because the new boss was coming in uh and and so now we're seeing
00:10:40.520
it we know it's happening i love that uh you know james o'keefe and the folks over veritas continued
00:10:47.020
to reveal these things will anything happen because of it no there's no consequences because we know
00:10:53.580
that leftists don't suffer consequences they really don't so we'll see what happens with this but i hope
00:10:59.420
it's spread far and wide and people begin to understand the reality of it well what i've heard and i don't
00:11:03.880
know how much of this is true is that there is an agreement when elon agreed to purchase it
00:11:08.020
um that there was only around five to ten percent bots and now they're saying that it's upwards i've
00:11:14.880
heard everything from 15 to 20 upwards of 40 and they're really worried that they're gonna have to
00:11:20.540
pay this huge penalty i think for a breach of contract or something like that i do do you still
00:11:24.680
hope that he takes it over or does it do you think it matters i hope he does i hope he does for the
00:11:32.180
sheer entertainment value of it you know when when the announcement was made those those particular
00:11:37.460
two days that weekend uh that was the most fun i'd had on social media in three years so uh you know
00:11:44.000
my good friend sarah gonzalez just just trolled it i mean it was amazing the things that she posted
00:11:49.940
just staccato machine gun fire tweets of things that historically would have gotten you banned it was a
00:11:55.260
lot of fun to watch the reaction right that was her yeah you know what listen if it was if it was
00:12:01.500
only five percent bots then all five percent are on my page i can tell you that because i get trolled
00:12:08.760
all day every day you know i'm at a point now where it's like you know i don't have time to waste
00:12:12.800
with this incessant nonsense so i just block it and move on they tend to show back up but uh you know
00:12:18.760
yeah i hope he takes it over um again i have said this for years i've said that if you build something
00:12:26.440
philosophically ideologically you build this house of cards it the the slightest wind of common sense
00:12:32.540
will eventually blow it down because it's on a faulty fault line uh the structure and foundation of
00:12:37.280
it's built wrong and it's a weak structure to begin with so i think that a lot of things are being
00:12:42.440
exposed you know look i sued facebook back in late february and one i i am the first
00:12:48.520
and only person to sue facebook and win in the state of texas um and so we've had numerous court
00:12:55.740
battles with facebook over over various issues of things that they try to do and and you basically
00:13:02.000
sign your life away whenever you agree to their terms uh and conditions uh you you're you're agreeing
00:13:09.420
to let them dictate to your life on how you're going to operate on that platform it's very difficult
00:13:15.060
slippery slope this is big tech tyranny we know it's there we've seen it in an action it's only
00:13:20.600
going to get worse as we move forward and continue to rely on social media platforms uh but it's it's
00:13:26.540
it's going to be interesting to see how it all plays out but hopefully these exposures are going to
00:13:30.240
continue to bring these things down what was this lawsuit with facebook what was that over
00:13:35.220
so they they banned me uh for an old comment in response to someone from a long time ago of course
00:13:44.680
i was running in the primary election here in the state of texas they gave me a seven day suspension
00:13:49.740
just eight days before election day so we were able to take them to court on the basis of a bill that
00:13:56.020
was signed by governor greg abbott in february of 2021 uh in terms of censorship for conservatives in the
00:14:04.320
state of texas uh and and we were actually able to get a ruling in our favor get the restrictions and
00:14:10.560
the ban lifted sounds like a minor deal but it was really pretty major and facebook took a loss that
00:14:15.960
they did not like so uh they've consistently been back in court with us trying to get that loss
00:14:21.680
overturned so uh you know the the thing is and nobody wants to talk about that in the media because
00:14:28.280
again big media big tech they walk hand in hand with one another they don't want people knowing that
00:14:32.740
you can fight people in for things like common carriage laws and and so on and so forth and
00:14:38.420
you know on the basis of of information and economic trade be able to shut somebody's voice down
00:14:44.700
uh is is a bad policy to be in uh in action here in america yeah i think that is a big deal and the
00:14:52.120
reason they're probably trying to overturn it in my opinion um is so that the precedent can't be set
00:14:57.240
that says hey you can't all say probably purposely shut somebody down before an election happens to
00:15:05.100
try to stifle their influence online we've seen it with other people and it's very interesting with
00:15:09.700
the bots i think because you have especially on twitter you have complicated bots and you have
00:15:14.240
very non-complicated ones i think i'm pretty good at sniffing them out as i think a lot of people who
00:15:18.400
are on it a lot are but you have you know bob three three five six seven eight nine with no photo
00:15:23.360
that's a pretty obvious one but then it goes as far as ones that have had accounts i don't know
00:15:28.660
if they buy them or they just farm these bots for years but you can kind of tell that you know it's
00:15:33.780
suspicious but one of the first things you look at is how long they've been on the platform but then
00:15:38.300
you get like message requests hey how are you nobody says hey how are you that's what they need to learn
00:15:43.840
about the bots when you guys are making them nobody says hey how are you i want to get to know you
00:15:48.660
um that's probably what happened to eric swalwell i think um a little bit more complicated there
00:15:54.660
um something i saw you tweeting about which i've been thinking about a lot lately is the new press
00:15:59.480
secretary and uh you know we're all we're all gonna miss jen saki we're gonna all watch her on
00:16:04.600
msnbc that's gonna be a great show um for no one to watch because only people watch rachel maddow on
00:16:11.100
msnbc but now the first thing chad that they talk about with this new press secretary she comes in is
00:16:16.540
she's the first i don't know what the announcement she made i'm the first black immigrant lesbian woman
00:16:22.060
the first of all three and this is so important not my accomplishments the first thing that we talk
00:16:27.800
about is this person's you know ethnic or diversity based accomplishment why is that
00:16:35.480
i don't care if you're a jawa from tatooine i want to know art you know i i are you are you
00:16:43.580
able to put together a sentence are you able to think with complexity of thought are you able to
00:16:49.400
articulate policy are you able to talk about the things that the white house represents and is doing
00:16:55.460
she has so far in the last 36 hours proven incapable of doing that we now know why jen saki was least
00:17:03.780
smart enough to corner the phrase i'll circle back that was her way of saying i don't know i'm not sure
00:17:10.080
this lady has the wherewithal to know when she doesn't know something based on some of the stuff
00:17:15.500
based based on some things that i've seen there we go there we go look at that yep i love technology
00:17:23.420
but yeah we'll see you know this girl i don't think she's overly um intelligent look we've seen
00:17:31.240
already with the biden administration to continually put people up because of their physical characteristics
00:17:38.060
whether it's uh you know the levine person you know that uh you know all i mean these these folks
00:17:48.580
that are just it's just crazy like it's it's a clown card you don't know who else is going to step out
00:17:54.400
in regards to this you don't realize any of their qualifications uh because that's not what they're
00:18:01.220
talking about even jen saki upon introducing her said you know these things matter these characteristics
00:18:06.100
matter they don't they really i know it's really weird i was listening to a podcast this morning
00:18:13.020
on the way in um of a ufc fighter and i won't name him because i think he's a good guy but he was
00:18:19.240
talking about how you know diversity has a huge role to play in all of his decisions um in the school he
00:18:27.120
chose for his family and his social gatherings he's talking about you know how great it is there's so
00:18:31.840
many um inter i don't even know what the word he used mixed families and i'm just like why does this
00:18:37.100
matter to you shouldn't it be shouldn't it matter if the people are good if the schools are good
00:18:41.480
if if the town is good and to town i think you'd be familiar with too i don't want to out this guy
00:18:47.180
though he's nice but it's just just really weird to me when people focus on these things and when you
00:18:51.640
trot somebody out and the first thing is look at her race and her gender everybody i think that's a
00:18:56.680
sign that this person probably isn't qualified or else you'd be saying look at their degree in this
00:19:01.620
and look at their experience doing this if you put a person on the moon you're not going to want to
00:19:05.460
know about whether or not they're from texas or louisiana you're going to know if there's an
00:19:09.420
astrophysicist or a scientist or an air force pilot i don't think that's going to be coming in
00:19:13.920
handy if it's something other than that i want to ask you what do you think about uh peter doocy
00:19:19.620
from fox news i think he was getting some heat i'm not sure how much legitimacy it had to it
00:19:24.800
but i saw some people saying like he's hugging jen sake after she leaves and they're and they're
00:19:29.400
good they got along i guess uh they didn't actually hate each other do you think that's a
00:19:33.220
good idea do you to to still be able to talk to somebody who's they're probably so far opposite of
00:19:38.920
in their belief system do you think it's a good idea for them to still show that they can get along
00:19:42.960
or do you think it sort of means that they don't actually agree uh disagree with one another
00:19:47.460
uh look i've been saying for the last year they're probably hooking up behind the scenes
00:19:52.500
who knows i again i say that tongue in cheek with all due respect to you know a guy like
00:19:58.080
doocy and i say respect because at least he is a guy who asks questions that are serious
00:20:01.960
um and not softball stuff to this administration uh look i they should get along of course they
00:20:08.320
should get along uh they don't have to agree with each other you know look two weeks ago i had my
00:20:14.280
friend riaz patel on my show on the blaze look riaz is an executive producer two-time emmy award nominee
00:20:21.920
um he was born in a muslim family he is an immigrant he's in hollywood he's gay uh he's a
00:20:31.360
liberal i mean he checks all those boxes of everything that a white heterosexual christian
00:20:35.540
conservative cowboy with you know they should disagree with right but whenever we're together
00:20:40.300
we have the best conversation we don't agree on many many things but we still have the best
00:20:45.020
conversations of course you should be able to get along that's what america's about you know
00:20:49.240
you know john adams and thomas jefferson go back and read the things they said to and about each
00:20:54.340
other uh you know our our our history is made with the disagreements and the debacles of discouragement
00:21:01.000
that were created out of the these these disagreements that happened but yet our founding fathers were able
00:21:06.940
to come back together uh you know and and do i put peter ducey and shinsaki on level with our
00:21:14.500
founding fathers no but american civility does need to still exist not even american cultural
00:21:20.560
civility amongst free people definitely needs to exist i think anybody can look back and say wow
00:21:26.900
kaylee mckinney was really good at her job even if you disagreed with her so i'll have to agree with
00:21:31.980
you on that point your point i was thinking that exact same thing you know i don't think jen saki is
00:21:37.480
dumb i think she's woke to an ideology that's dumb uh which which leads her down a wrong path
00:21:43.380
i think this girl is going to prove like she might she might beat scaramucci's record she might be out
00:21:49.020
of there okay um but it makes you realize just how sharp a sarah sanders or a kaylee mckinney really
00:21:58.200
truly were and are in terms of their preparedness and their ability to communicate policy when she put
00:22:04.600
her hand on the binder on the tab that she was better that was the warning sign and again even if you
00:22:10.700
disagree with her she was like the girl in school who always had her project done like three weeks
00:22:15.300
before it was due it was amazing stuff um something i read about yesterday that i wrote down to ask you
00:22:20.840
about um was the ultra mega thing and my friend and i were talking about this and he was reading me this
00:22:26.940
article i think it was from daily mail uk and they were saying that the ultra mega slogan uh that
00:22:33.660
biden trotted out was six months in planning did you read about this i did yeah six months in planning
00:22:39.520
america i wrote it down center for american uh center for american progress which of course
00:22:44.440
is one of those you know we're one step away from media matters there and six months um to come up
00:22:50.100
with ultra mega and now he's calling him the mega king and all these things it's like do you really
00:22:55.500
believe that this is what they came up with in six months to you know we're gonna get him we're gonna
00:23:00.200
stick him with this that's unbelievable isn't it you would think that they would learn from
00:23:06.260
hillary clinton calling conservatives a basket of deplorables how far that will backfire on you
00:23:12.500
because people with common sense people like you and me we take that terminology and we run with it i
00:23:19.500
mean do you know how many t-shirts i've sold in the last week at watch chad.com or pray 30s.com
00:23:26.340
uh it should say ultra mega we even have a shirt that looks like the micheload can that says
00:23:32.920
mega ultra with the little label on it we've got we've got mega king shirts we've got mega king hats
00:23:39.780
coming out these people are dumb i mean you have to know better than to give us a moniker that we're
00:23:45.720
gonna run with i mean look what we did with let's go brandon i mean that one little slip of the lip got
00:23:52.240
her hung by the tongue culturally we we're not gonna let go of any of this stuff and so people
00:23:57.460
want to call us a cult you know my friend cj uh and i we we do this we do these little songs together
00:24:04.340
from time to time post on social media we just did uh bow down to your mega king people lose their
00:24:10.180
mind like they're like are you know we do these songs and we sing them and people like you guys are
00:24:14.260
such a cult i'm like we're trolling you i mean how do you not understand the self-defacing self
00:24:20.700
efficating you know humor that we use just demonstrates that we're not dictated to by
00:24:28.300
your labels it's not going to change anything so i love that they came out with it yeah and there's
00:24:33.480
even more mega king songs who are ultra mega songs and i think you're right i think it's so
00:24:38.180
things are so polarized it's so easy to troll these days um last week i did a thing where i said if i
00:24:42.960
if uh elon comes back on twitter elon takes over twitter i'm moving to canada
00:24:48.180
in my bio it says where i am and who i work for we don't want you here stay we don't want you woke
00:24:54.600
leftist coming and ruining our country any more than it already is it's it's gotten easier to troll
00:24:59.520
people because nobody does anything but react right away and um i'm glad you're making sales with with
00:25:05.260
that shirt i'd uh i'd be interested in getting one and i think that's what you have to do it's something
00:25:09.640
i take from um like barstool sports that once something's out there pick it up run with it because
00:25:15.680
the football is only going to be on the field for a little while in that sense and you got to
00:25:20.000
capitalize on it and i'm glad you're doing that olivia he probably hasn't seen this can we bring
00:25:24.120
up this article it's from us from us our state broadcaster cbc has hired a trauma therapist for
00:25:31.160
their journalists or they're trying to hire it for journalists out in the field and i want to read
00:25:35.260
a couple sentences from this country it's so funny they think that being this field journalist is so hard
00:25:41.920
and we have tons of them here and i'm sure you know plenty down at the blaze but they think that
00:25:46.640
like people saying mean things to them and and not wanting to talk to them this is equivalent as i'm
00:25:52.800
sure you've heard uh this is violence words are now violence so i just want to read some of this
00:25:57.820
olivia put it on screen and um cbc hiring trauma therapists for journalists and now if you scroll down
00:26:03.820
it shows the job posting yeah you can see the criteria right there one and two now this comes
00:26:10.520
after one of the cbc journalists said that they were getting texts from somebody at the trucker
00:26:15.180
convoy and then had to admit that it came from a different phone number than the thing they put
00:26:19.700
their number into and they didn't actually know who was chad is being a journalist in 2022 actually
00:26:25.100
this devastating do you think uh listen i i still no it's not i mean here here's the issue here's the
00:26:36.340
issue you know back in the 60s whenever suddenly you know they were sending journalists into vietnam
00:26:44.380
to document the war that was difficult you know people who go into war-torn countries that's difficult
00:26:50.900
people who stick a microphone in someone's face in main street america that's not that's not hard to do
00:26:57.260
you know a lot of people make a career off of that the issue is journalists today want to be
00:27:03.700
celebrities they don't want to be journalists they don't care about journalistic objectivity
00:27:07.700
they want to be celebrities and today that bar is set pretty low when you can have a brian stelter
00:27:13.340
who brings literally nothing or a don lemon or you know numerous people that i could list uh out there
00:27:21.840
you know you you alluded to rachel maddow earlier in the program brings nothing to the table these people
00:27:27.940
want to be celebrities not journalists and so when the job of journalism actually happens they're
00:27:34.800
stressed because they're not prepared they don't they never knew what that job was all about uh you
00:27:41.180
know you go back in history to you know the edward murrows the walter concrites and even the jennings
00:27:46.900
and the in the rathers it doesn't matter what you think of them politically but when they were doing
00:27:50.800
the job of news you you look at uh woodward and bernstein you know watergate watergate is the
00:27:56.160
worst thing that ever happened to journalism uh it's it's the best and the worst because it made
00:28:01.360
celebrities out of woodward and bernstein the difference is it they did the work and they
00:28:07.420
deserved the celebrity these days folks are wanting the celebrity before they ever do the work
00:28:12.700
and so when things like this happen they need a safe space and a therapist what do you think the
00:28:18.140
average brian stelter fan looks like i try to imagine sometimes who's sitting there watching
00:28:23.160
you know brian's great i tune into uh reliable sources every week he's just he's just really on
00:28:28.840
it you know that's what i wonder sometimes don lemon i think some like uh some older ladies and
00:28:35.140
and some older fellas will sit there and be like you know i like the cut of his jib he's he's witty
00:28:39.280
but brian stelter is literally just sitting there wheezing uh complaining about things i don't know what
00:28:45.240
do you have an image in your head of what brian stelter's fans are like i think they look like
00:28:49.860
people walking through an airport because i think that's the only body's what even knows that brian
00:28:54.820
stelter's on they're not paying attention to brian stelter the only time brian stelter gets any
00:28:59.340
attention is one of his guests raises a little bit of a stink with something that they say and the clips
00:29:04.640
are shared uh otherwise no one's watching brian stelter he looks like a bum uh you know i mean and the guy's
00:29:11.400
only 36 years old he looks like he i mean this guy is aging terribly he looks like something out of a
00:29:17.080
batman movie he's a villain uh but you look you know cnn plus after spending 300 million dollars
00:29:23.480
couldn't get more than five six seven thousand viewers uh you know they less than a month they
00:29:30.760
crashed and burned because people don't want to watch cnn for free because of the brian stelters that
00:29:35.980
are on there they're certainly not going to pay six dollars a month for it as well i i'd say
00:29:40.540
your money's better spent with rebel news great promo i'm going to clip that and uh we're definitely
00:29:46.700
going to use that before you go chad any thoughts on the ufo stuff that's happening do you care
00:29:51.220
i you know look it's fun right i i get to make i get to tell jokes for a living i get to point out
00:29:58.120
you know observational comedy and make a living doing it out on the road uh which i do encourage
00:30:03.400
people to come see us um but uh you know you know again the government's going to control the
00:30:09.560
information they're going to give you exactly what they want you to see i think again it's
00:30:14.080
another distraction it's always a distraction to to get your eyes off of certain things that
00:30:18.880
are going on there's real things going on on this planet on terra firma and so i'm not too
00:30:24.840
extremely worried about the aliens at this point in time but you know keep talking about it they'll
00:30:29.380
want to storm area 51 again with their you know cups of cement or whatever they protest with these days
00:30:35.300
that was a good time the storming of area 51 chad prather watch chad.com was it
00:30:41.220
yep yep watch chad.com buy one of these new shirts i'm interested in one of the beer shirts
