00:01:42.000The military is being deployed or threatening to deport everybody.
00:01:45.000They're coming by water, which is interesting, which lends to the idea that this is about a court precedent that migrants that arrive by sea can't be immediately turned away.
00:01:56.000But many, of course, are saying this is an invasion.
00:01:59.000How else would you describe 50,000 to 60,000 people?
00:02:01.000Now, some 30 are already dead as they just storm into this portion of Spain.
00:02:07.000We'll talk about that and a whole lot more before we do.
00:02:09.000But, my friends, you got to go to castbrew.com and buy coffee.
00:02:53.000David Bozell, president of the Media Research Center, largest media watchdog operation in the country, also president of For America, doing everything we can to get the Save America Act passed.
00:03:04.000Hoping to have a good 2026 midterm cycle.
00:04:11.000Because I worked with Mines, so you probably know you're going to introduce a story, but I was an admin with Mines social media deciding who gets to be promoted on the front page and who doesn't.
00:04:38.000We'll get into that, but we'll start here with the terrifying news from CBS.
00:04:43.000U.S. investigating if Iran was behind cyber attack on water systems in seven states, including Minnesota.
00:04:49.000They report malicious cyber activity affected technology and water systems in at least seven states this week, including Minnesota, forcing some utilities to switch to manual operations as state and federal authorities dig into who is behind this attack.
00:05:02.000Investigators are probing to determine whether the activity is the work of Iranian hackers, according to U.S. officials and sources familiar with the incident.
00:05:09.000Sources caution that since they had not definitively attributed the attack, their assessment could change as additional technical evidence is collected.
00:05:15.000They are also probing whether the actor could have attempted to appear Iran based as a way of stirring the pot amid the ongoing U.S. conflict with Iran.
00:05:24.000The FBI reported incidents in at least seven states but didn't identify them.
00:05:28.000Trump has come out and said no to blaming Iran.
00:05:32.000He is instead blaming the Minnesota cyber attack.
00:05:35.000On Tim Waltz, President Trump dismissed speculation that Iran was behind a cyber attack targeting dozens of water systems in Minnesota, blaming instead the state's quote, corrupt governor Tim Waltz.
00:05:46.000I just want to mention that we heard in Minnesota there was a cyber attack and they blame it on Iran.
00:08:40.000I mean, he must really, either he knows they didn't do it or he is really weird.
00:08:48.000I do kind of feel like people have kind of settled into whether or not they look at Iran as an enemy or not, right?
00:08:54.000Like, there's not a lot of people that have a lot of wiggle room anymore.
00:08:58.000If you're against the Iran war, you're generally like, oh, we could be allies with Iran if it wasn't for our meddling in the Middle East or what have you.
00:09:05.000And then generally, I think more people than not think, yeah, Iran is at the very least hostile, whether they're a direct threat to the United States or not.
00:09:18.000But most Americans are like, yeah, Iran's hostile.
00:09:21.000You look at the Beirut bombing, you look at most people know that Iran is funding terrorism in a bunch of different places in the world.
00:09:29.000You look at all the people that went to the Jiwa in Iraq that were, you know, dealing with roadside bombs that were, you know, that the militias were taught how to build those things by Iran.
00:09:40.000Most people kind of settled in, guys, what they think.
00:10:02.000Yeah, I have to because whenever I'm analyzing media bias, I have to compare and contrast what details were included by the left versus the right.
00:10:10.000And honestly, sometimes you don't get the full picture until you're saying you're trying to find the other states.
00:10:17.000So I'm curious, Phil mentioned Iran is engaging in acts of terror.
00:10:19.000And just putting on your journalism hat from all the stuff you've read, from the neutral journalistic perspective, is that an accurate assessment?
00:10:46.000And so it's like there's not really an easy answer because there are cases, and we've written about this before, like there are cases where your government's lying or the other government's lying.
00:10:55.000And really, what we do is we try to provide context around like what the source of the information is so that you're very clear about who's saying what and what their interests might be.
00:11:36.000If you came to me and said Iran launched cyber attacks against U.S. critical infrastructure in response to the war that's going on in Iran, I'd say, yes, I predicted that.
00:11:45.000Four years ago, we've been talking about on the show that Iran would engage in cyber attacks as their only means of striking at the United States.
00:11:55.000It's also plausible that the U.S. would blame Iran to justify an ongoing war.
00:12:01.000I mean, so how are you supposed to actually figure out what's going on, who's telling the truth, and whether or not they're just trying to trick us into a war or whether we're being attacked?
00:12:09.000If there was a lab leak and the AI got out inadvertently, I don't think that they would tell us that because they don't want to scare us about AI.
00:12:17.000We really have, there's been a Bunch of stories about it happening.
00:12:20.000Like Anthropic just was talking about it yesterday how four different AI models got out of the sandbox of their frontier models.
00:12:28.000The companies, remember, most of the AI that you hear people talking about, they are privately made, and these companies have an interest in making people aware of how capable their AI are.
00:12:40.000There are people even saying that the AI companies will overstate how capable their frontier models are in hopes that it will attract people to use their AI model because.
00:12:50.000If their frontier model is basically Ultron and the one that's available to the public, well, the one that's available to the public, surely that's going to be able to help my plumbing business organize itself, you know?
00:13:30.000What is, is the water, just looking at the board here, the water, the multiple states, and why Minnesota is getting singled out is kind of weird.
00:13:43.000Well, actually, you make a really interesting point that I want to kind of shift into.
00:13:55.000Development if they were able to successfully launch a cyber attack on major American infrastructure.
00:14:04.000And I'm just kind of surprised that if they had the report, they waited until getting in front of the president at the cabinet meeting to get his comment, which he launched, which he said made the Walls comment, which got Minnesota inserted into the headline.
00:14:19.000Just what is the significance for you guys that work in media, for those that don't know, what is the significance of?
00:14:25.000Having information earlier in the week and waiting till Friday.
00:14:27.000Well, it's usually where you want news to go die.
00:16:39.000Well, unless they're just not going to tell you.
00:16:41.000I mean, it makes, to be honest with you, it makes sense that, and when I say makes sense, I mean it fits Trump's general pattern that he would blame his political opponents because he uses things that are functional constantly.
00:16:53.000Let me ask you guys Did y'all know that like about two weeks ago, I think it was, or it might have been a little bit more, that a guard working at an ICE facility shot a protester in the foot?
00:17:06.000It was a security guy, it was a private contractor, worked at an ICE facility, and these women were, there were protesters obstructing the vehicles coming and going.
00:17:12.000Guy gets out of his car, draws his gun, and shoots her in the foot.
00:18:09.000Oh, yeah, I think that story was completely fake, by the way.
00:18:11.000I think that story was completely fake, and I'll tell you why.
00:18:14.000So when the Flint stuff happened, I was working at Fusion, and I said, I got a great idea.
00:18:20.000Let's go collect water samples from Flint, from businesses, private homes, and from the river itself, run them through a mass spectrometer to see what's actually in it.
00:19:35.000So I go back and we have the report like we're preparing and we go to the bosses and we're like, do we come out with a report and claim we ran multiple samples through a mass spectrometer and it debunked the official narrative that the Flint water was tainted with heavy metals?
00:19:50.000And we decided we're not going to run the story because we don't understand how we're wrong.
00:20:13.000Where were they getting their information from?
00:20:15.000Pictures of bottles that were foggy or dirty and people getting sick, and then experts saying it.
00:20:21.000And our concern was we must have done something wrong, and we're going to look like idiots if we come out and say that we did something wrong, and they're just going to say we did something wrong, so let's just do nothing.
00:20:28.000Now I look back and I'm like, oh, they were probably just lying.
00:20:32.000Well, they wouldn't have picked you up anyway, even if he had run.
00:21:27.000Yeah, and it was really funny when they were like, you have too much uranium in your home water, stop drinking it.
00:21:32.000Like, you're on farmland and they've got heavy fertilizers down there and it's getting into your groundwater.
00:21:35.000And we were like, oh my God, let's not drink that.
00:21:39.000Well, maybe the Iranians did us a favor, clear all that up.
00:21:43.000Well, I got farmland in Minnesota too.
00:21:44.000Anyway, just as an aside, I just think everyone's lying these days.
00:21:48.000I just mean, like, what would have been, like, if you're, like, left wing media outlets really pushing that Flint story, like, are you just trying to tie it to, like, inequality?
00:22:49.000It was like in cities of millions, there were like, you know, five hate crimes, and then it would go, if it went to like 10, they're like 50% or whatever.
00:23:18.000But I mean, what a terrible indictment on our whole ecosystem.
00:23:23.000That you feel like you've got to go to the right wing sources and the left wing sources, and there's just no, no, no, you go to the left wing sources for the lie, you go to the right wing sources for the truth.
00:23:33.000Fair enough, there's a good, I will say that sometimes the left is the left wing media outlets are more well resourced.
00:23:40.000So, something sometimes they are doing more of the like original reporting, and then the right tends to do like the commentary on top of it.
00:23:47.000Um, so you do still have to read the left.
00:23:50.000I mean, no, I agree, I agree, yeah, yeah, right.
00:23:51.000So, we got CBS here, but do we consider CBS left wing anymore since it's been purchased by the OC?
00:24:14.000We found no meaningful indicators that they have become that they're becoming more to the right.
00:24:18.000If you scroll down, I think there's also a blind survey that we did.
00:24:22.000See, look, that's how Americans rated them in December 2025 blindly, they didn't know they were rating CBS, but they sent independent investigators to Minnesota to investigate.
00:24:30.000The fraud claims that Nick Shirley brought up, which I think is indicative of Barry Weiss.
00:25:31.000For some reason, and I would love to dig into why this is, it seems like people with liberal views are drawn toward the profession in the first place.
00:25:43.000The presumption is that these liberals are journalists, but they're not.
00:25:46.000What's happening is, and what happened 10 years ago when I was working for ABC and Univision, activists are coming into these positions that are liberals for the power.
00:26:10.000Uh, over Occupy stuff, the journalist comes in and he was a freelance writer, worked for a bunch of big outlets, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Wired.
00:26:19.000And this guy that I was with offered him a shot of whiskey, of this high end whiskey.
00:27:17.000Between what's happened with Fauci and the media coverage of Fauci.
00:27:23.000Having grown up in Washington, I've been in Washington since I was two years old, the Washingtonian bureaucrat believes in their soul that they and only they can be and should be the one to determine public policy
00:27:44.000determinations for the United States, for the American people.
00:28:23.000As it's generally used, whether intentionally or not, just means closer to reality, and the left means further from reality.
00:28:31.000And I will explain this because I know immediately the liberals are going to be like, how dare you say that?
00:28:36.000When we're describing the tribes in bias, the examples I like to use is that Jimmy Dore is called right wing despite being a socialist.
00:28:43.000I'm called right wing despite having left libertarian views.
00:28:46.000The Lincoln Project is called left wing despite being clearly old school conservatives who hate Trump.
00:28:51.000So it's not the policy positions the person holds that defines whether they're going to be left leaning or right leaning, it's who do they side with.
00:29:00.000And when you side with someone, you side with them largely based on their interpretation of facts.
00:29:06.000What we know is that let's just go with the very fine people hoax.
00:29:10.000Let's go with the Shinzo Abe hoax with the fish.
00:29:13.000Let's go with everything said during COVID.
00:29:16.000The corporate press, legacy media, the left, left aligned media has consistently misled people, either intentionally or otherwise, subject to determine why they were misleading.
00:29:25.000But whether it was an accident or on purpose, people were being misled.
00:29:28.000And the right has, while sometimes they get things wrong, tended to break through that noise to get out the correct narratives.
00:29:37.000So, if you look at like the Burisma scandal with Joe Biden and Hunter Biden, for instance, liberals largely believed that Joe Biden never engaged in a quid pro quo to get a prosecutor fired.
00:29:48.000Everyone else, you would be, I'll put it this way.
00:29:51.000If you say publicly, Joe Biden told the president of Ukraine, if you don't fire the prosecutor, you're not getting the billion dollars, they would call you a conservative for stating a fact.
00:30:01.000So, I think for me, especially after 10 years, I mean, working in this industry longer, but over 10 years of independently just reading nothing but news all day, every day, we see that.
00:30:11.000The left tends to mislead with incorrect information, and the right doesn't.
00:30:58.000The Lincoln Project are those people from back then, but they're anti Trump and they're aligned with Democrats these days.
00:31:06.000What is now left and right is fundamentally different from what it was 20 years ago.
00:31:10.000There's like a left and a right within this far left ecosystem that we exist within, this liberal economic bubble.
00:31:16.000That is, I guess you would call it far left, democratic, socialist.
00:31:20.000Well, that's immaterial to what we're talking about.
00:31:23.000So the point is this you are accurately describing that under the Bush administration during Iraq, the media was marching in lockstep with what the conservatives wanted.
00:31:54.000I'm talking about what's happened since then.
00:31:57.000Don't get me wrong, back then, all of the media was in this bubble.
00:32:00.000The Democrats and Republicans were marching in lockstep, and Bill Maher got fired from his job for talking, for criticizing the US government and the military operations in the Middle East.
00:32:11.000So, how do you guys define left and right when you're working in the media sphere?
00:32:16.000Well, I was explaining this to Tim earlier.
00:32:18.000It's like we do have on our website, like if you click on any of our ratings, we have some general descriptions of, Left, center, and right.
00:32:27.000But our process is actually to capture the average view of Americans and a panel of experts like today, right?
00:32:35.000So, like, you're talking about the history of it changing and things like that, right?
00:32:38.000But what we're actually trying to do is capture what are largely subjective views.
00:33:15.000It says shattering liberal media influence.
00:33:17.000And I said, I don't think you should put liberal because if there's a news story that says politician tries to kick dog, that's not left or right.
00:36:37.000The right is already kind of engaged in this war on expertise anyway.
00:36:40.000And these guys very much feel like flyover country is beneath them.
00:36:46.000And their presentation, you see this in the Fauci coverage, is just this elitist mentality.
00:36:51.000But to your point, and I can actually, when you're talking about this video, I can feel like the soul of Scott Adams, like saying everybody sees a video differently, sees different things.
00:36:59.000But to your point earlier, what the right invests in when it comes to journalism, this all kind of started back in 1992.
00:37:08.000Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch figured out that, okay, CNN can go invest in the basic blocking and tackling.
00:37:14.000If you want to see what happened, go turn on CNN.
00:37:17.000If you want to go see what it means, turn on Fox.
00:37:21.000And so they invested it in analysts, where CNN invested in big, gigantic computer boards of electoral college maps and all these fancy toys and gizmos that nobody watched because they didn't believe them.
00:37:37.000And he can't argue with Fox's approach.
00:37:39.000They're the number one network, 24 hours of every single day for 30 years, every single hour of every day.
00:37:45.000I mean, who are we to judge any of that?
00:37:48.000But that is, now that's not to say that the Fox has not, that the right wing ecosystem has not invested properly in the basic blocking of tackling and tackling of reporting.
00:37:58.000Breitbart is a terrific example of this.
00:38:01.000In January, the Minnesota Star Tribune, Shot up the news website rankings to be the top 40 news website in America in January, all with anti ice coverage all day long.
00:38:41.000So, this website that nobody asked for, one of the most liberal operations outlets in the country, the Minnesota Star Tribune, was showcased and vaulted up to the top 50 rankings in the United States based purely on the app love that they got.
00:39:23.000And it's funny because that story is considered fake news and right wing and whatever, even though it's the Star Tribune that published it.
00:40:36.000If you're on a desktop computer, if you're at the nurse with the graveyard shift, if you're, you know, whatever, whatever white collar job you've got, you've got MSN preloaded.
00:42:00.000In recent history, great grandparents have fallen out of
00:42:06.000the immediate nuclear family, the immediate family, because we're not having kids until way later.
00:42:11.000But if at 22 years old they have a kid, that kid at 22 years old has a kid.
00:42:17.000That means the newborn kid's grandparent is in their mid 40s.
00:42:20.000That means when that grandkid has a kid, their grandparent is in their 60s while they're in their 20s.
00:42:27.000And that means your great grandparent is going to be in their 80s when you're having your kid, and your great grandparent is going to meet their great grandchild.
00:42:34.000So, I'm going to go ahead and say second cousin is too close and very weird.
00:43:16.000It is very strange to go to the family reunion with your wife and kids, remembering your great grandparent and how they came to this country.
00:43:24.000And you're like, yeah, you know, and you're like, hey, kids, when we look back in our family history to how we came here, remember, your mom and I have the same parent who emigrated here to have you.
00:45:07.000Second cousin is going to be like 3.5% to around 3.5% for both.
00:45:14.000So it is like two times greater, but we're talking about a single percentage point.
00:45:19.000So I'll put it this way if you want to win an election, here's what you say Did you know that this Democrat who's running had kids with his cousin?
00:45:29.000You don't say second cousin or first, right?
00:45:31.000Now, if you want to make it seem like you're more honest, you can say he had kids with a second cousin, which has two times the rate of birth defects.
00:45:40.000And they'll go, whoa, this sounds like a lot, but we're talking about like a 2% chance.
00:45:44.000This is what they were doing with the hate crime data.
00:46:02.000It's going to be, it'll be, it'll be regular, you know, I guess, the down in the mud House members that are going to make a stink about it.
00:50:21.000But like, okay, if you ask this guy this in a debate, like, and you're trying to get at his sense of family value, Like, what does it imply about him politically?
00:50:50.000Like, they're trying to set him up as engaging in taboos.
00:50:52.000Simply put, I think if you are trying to be a proper journalist interviewing a candidate, And there is a story of general interest that people find to be of value, you should ask them about it.
00:51:02.000That being said, I also understand it's salacious and it's not apocalyptic, but it's bad for him politically.
00:52:36.000I would say if the twists and turns of every relationship Donald Trump Jr. has been in in the last.
00:52:46.000Eight years of the Trump era, and that's been widely reported from girlfriends and ex wives and new wives, then certainly the candidate for in the most important Senate race in the country,
00:53:01.000his family relationship is newsworthy.
00:53:10.000We say, what's the biggest story of the day?
00:53:13.000According to this framing, like the things you've seen, I say, what's the big news, everybody, and ask everybody what the biggest story is.
00:53:18.000I have a specific algorithm in Twitter that I pick.
00:53:20.000From that, I'm I have it's like an echo chamber, it's a big echo chamber.
00:53:23.000But like, how can you deliver news and not be biased because you're deciding what you're going to cover?
00:53:28.000But this is the point, bias that's why we are perfectly unbiased in every way.
00:53:35.000But to say that like story choice bias isn't relevant is just not accurate because exactly what you're saying, like, these even if you go look at all the media outlets of the day and what are they all covering, like, I mean, some I mean, sometimes they're not all covering the same thing,
00:53:50.000sometimes they are all covering the same thing because everyone agrees that.
00:53:53.000The biggest story every day when we come in at pre production and I ask what's the big news, I'm not suggesting the most viewed, I'm saying which is generating the most interest, attention, and is requesting of opinion and commentary.
00:54:06.000Well, do you ever choose based on what you think is really important, even if it's not being widely covered?
00:54:11.000Sometimes, yes, yeah, story choice bias, indeed.
00:54:14.000Typically, though, for this show, is like you're which is fine, it's not like it's bad, it's just I would actually say, technically, the inverse.
00:54:20.000Sometimes we cover stories we know people aren't going to click on, but is the most important story like.
00:54:24.000There was an earthquake and hurricane hits.
00:54:26.000And we're like, this is going to be the most valuable in terms of what people know.
00:54:30.000Arguing about the color of Trump's tie, it's the biggest story, but who cares?
00:54:50.000So we're just like, so you're just editors or commentators, they're always having to choose what they think is the most important for people.
00:54:58.000Just look at the New York Post homepage today.
00:55:05.000But it is, there's a storytellers' bias, but there are editorial decisions being made every single day by these big media companies to not cover Fauci.
00:55:19.000Those diaries should have been one of the biggest stories of the year.
00:55:22.000Oh, yeah, because it proved that he was lying about everything.
00:55:55.000He committed atrocities, in my opinion.
00:55:57.000And I'm going to clarify he secretly, he surreptitiously provided funding for gain of function research, lied about it.
00:56:02.000Defied mandate from the U.S. government to do so and doing it in a foreign country.
00:56:06.000And when he found out that it was likely his work that resulted in this, he lied to the American people and advocated for things that were detrimental and that caused harm and death.
00:56:14.000That isn't, he committed atrocities in that capacity.
00:56:17.000I'm not acting like he's Hitler or anything, but when he went out and he lied to people, what did he say?
00:56:41.000And then started, even though he admitted you don't need to wear two masks, once the media told him you should.
00:56:45.000He went along with it and told people to wear two masks.
00:56:47.000When we knew for a fact that the vaccines were causing myocarditis and pericarditis, and I'm saying new as in behind the scenes, not media speculation, he came out and lied over and over and over again.
00:56:59.000And now we have Stanford and Nature.com proving that not only could the vaccine increase your likelihood of getting COVID, but that it was causing myocarditis and pericarditis, which contribute to a five year shortened lifespan, and that the rate, according to Stanford, is for males 30 and under,
00:57:20.000And we had millions of people locked down, millions of people forced to get mass medication.
00:57:27.000And the media didn't want to cover the story.
00:57:28.000That Fauci was privately acknowledging he was lying to everybody the whole time.
00:57:33.000That when COVID patients were being put in nursing homes and the elderly were dying because of what Fauci was recommending and because of what these governors and blue sets were doing, they won't cover it.
00:57:45.000By all means, we can point out that there is a correlation between.
00:57:50.000The Democratic Party, liberal policies, and what the media's reporting.
00:57:53.000But I don't think it's helpful to your run of the mill default lib who doesn't pay attention to when they think they're a liberal because they don't know better to say the liberals are doing something bad.
00:59:00.000So here's the issue if he came out and said, yes, we did these things, it would implicate other people.
00:59:06.000So he can either choose to lie and then get perjured, perjure himself, or he can just plead the fifth when he's not legally allowed to do that and get held in contempt.
01:00:00.000Like, it was very unclear what the source was, which is relevant.
01:00:04.000Well, so here's one of the issues, again, I have with the left right distinction in media is that when I say Fauci lied about the origins of the virus in his public writings in 2020,
01:00:15.000he acknowledged that the market was not the likely location for the generation of the virus.
01:00:21.000And that he also had emails from, I think it was someone from EcoHealth Alliance, that they believed it came from the lab.
01:00:28.000So this was the best evidence they have that he ordered it suppressed.
01:00:32.000And he was also behind the funding illicitly because the US government had banned this.
01:00:37.000I will be called right wing for saying that.
01:00:42.000And they'll say, if anything, well, story selection.
01:00:46.000I kind of think that the biggest government lockdown authoritarian action, unconstitutional actions, and mass death we've seen in generations is not partisan to choose to report on it.
01:00:58.000But we are in an interesting place now in our culture where if you accurately point out what Fauci did, you are called biased.
01:01:06.000And the media just won't even cover it.
01:01:07.000Well, this happened on Monday night on Abby Phillips' show on CNN.
01:01:13.000And whoever was the right wing commentator said, Do we want to talk about Fauci's diaries?
01:01:21.000Because that seems to be like the whole story.
01:01:23.000And Phillips said, Nope, we're not going to discuss that.
01:02:47.000We need to have transparency around what's going on.
01:02:50.000I think one situation that, frankly, where we saw the government was certainly obfuscating, didn't have any transparency, was Anthony Fauci, who we're getting his diaries today, where he was purposely obfuscating about.
01:03:04.000And now everyone's just yelling, so she can't say anything.
01:03:06.000No, that's actually something where we know he was purposely obfuscating.
01:03:10.000We're sitting here talking about Americans who were killed in theater, okay, as a result of a war.
01:03:22.000I wonder if the diary was put forward by liberal actors to discredit them.
01:03:27.000Because it sounds like Ashley Biden's diary is what I thought.
01:03:30.000If you say Fauci's private correspondence during COVID or Fauci's public writings as an actor from the government, these are things the public should have access to.
01:03:52.000He also, I think it's abhorrent how he wrote in a.
01:03:55.000He violated confidentiality by writing about Barbra Streisand's ass sores.
01:04:00.000I mean, it's embarrassingly funny to a certain degree, but I'm serious.
01:04:04.000Like, he's the guy who, how dare he write in a public record available for the public to see about Barbra Streisand having ass sores from shingles?
01:05:13.000Someone actually did send a bust of me to the studio, and I was like, I appreciate it, but I do not want that.
01:05:19.000I have one of my old headshots, but Raymond set it up right outside my office.
01:05:23.000Considering, however, so when this story came out, Mike made a great point saying, if his daughter painted this picture and he hung it up, are you going to rag on him for it?
01:06:35.000But now that we've learned about every single interview, Zoom call, phone call, email correspondence that he had with a major, minor celebrity, he basically transcribed it all.
01:06:47.000And meanwhile, well, I'm just tasked with managing the government's response to a pandemic.
01:06:55.000And he was more interested in writing about how Kim Kardashian loved his Zoom call.
01:07:01.000I mean, it's almost redundant when he said, I am the science.
01:07:40.000Someone edited the image so that they made it a recursive loop where on Fauci's screen, it's the image of Fauci sitting at his own desk.
01:07:50.000They took the image, put it on the screen, and made a recursive loop as a joke.
01:07:55.000That is not the fact being challenged.
01:07:58.000And they put mostly true to add doubt.
01:08:02.000And they added to the end of the story.
01:08:04.000What Snopes does all the time is they will write, so Donald Trump will walk out into the Rose Garden and do a perfect round off back layout.
01:08:48.000Then it will write this big long thing about what a round off back layout is, what Trump was doing.
01:08:52.000Then at the very bottom, it'll say While Trump did perform a perfect round off back layout in front of a crowd of onlookers on Sunday, On Monday, it was not on Saturday.
01:09:01.000The thing is, manipulating people to your will isn't always evil.
01:09:05.000It's just, if you're evil and you think you're doing good, it's evil.
01:09:08.000But if you are good and you think you're doing good, it's good.
01:09:40.000So he goes to his buddies and says, I'm going to build a small dam so that we can have it, it will create a pool of water which will persist into this dry period at the end of summer.
01:09:52.000And so he goes and he builds it, thinking, This is going to save my people.
01:09:54.000And then the village floods and he kills everybody.
01:12:58.000So it was a large WWE waste of time, in my opinion.
01:13:01.000Now, what I would have done, and the reason why no one with any level of intelligence or comprehension, the reason why they would never let me anywhere near Congress, the Senate, or otherwise, is because I would have said,
01:13:15.000Dr. Fauci, when you killed those three people, did you solicit help from the government to cover up the murders you committed?
01:13:24.000Or are you going to plead the fifth right now to avoid implicating yourself in that crime?
01:13:28.000I can't answer that on behalf of my counsel.
01:13:31.000Because the point is, it's a Kafka trap.
01:13:33.000When he then says, under the advice of counsel, I'm pleading the fifth, he's now walked into a rhetorical trick, which admittedly is only, it's going to just embolden people on the right.
01:13:43.000But that's kind of the point to antagonize.
01:13:45.000Or it's going to force him to say, how dare you, I never killed anybody.
01:13:49.000You ask a loaded question to accuse him, forcing him to break from the traditional, under advice of counsel, I'm respectfully invoking my fifth amendment, right?
01:13:57.000Ask him something that he has to reject.
01:14:14.000But for him, I think the whole time he's sitting there is like, if I deviate, they will kill me in my sleep tonight.
01:14:19.000So all he's doing is just saying, I plead the fifth, I plead the fifth, I plead the fifth, get me out of here, waiting for the fifth.
01:14:24.000Well, listen, you're not going to win a conflict against someone as evil as Fauci and the people behind him by sitting there being like, oh, rats, he's not going to answer my question.
01:14:32.000I mean, people, the argument that he would make, though, is like, I didn't answer any questions because I'd been there.
01:14:37.000I pled the fifth because I was not going to answer questions.
01:15:01.000If that's all you really wanted and he's not playing fair and they're liars and they're evil and they're manipulators, Guys, take a PR class.
01:15:08.000Fauci, when you personally murdered that child, did you solicit anyone in the government to help you cover it up, or are you going to invoke the Fifth Amendment to prevent you from being implicated in the murder of the child that you committed?
01:15:19.000So his only choice is to break from the Fifth Amendment line or play into your Kafka trap.
01:17:39.000Fauci, when you told Governor Cuomo to murder those elderly people, were you concerned about your request that he murder those people being exposed?
01:17:48.000Or are you going to invoke the fifth right now to avoid implicating yourself in that crime?
01:17:53.000And then he's going to be like, okay, well, hold on.
01:18:16.000Now, is Fauci going to want to have on the record that there is a loaded implication that he's the one who told Cuomo to murder those elderly people?
01:18:24.000So, you force him to break from the line, I plead the fifth.
01:18:27.000Because when he pleads the fifth, you then come out and said, as we all know, Chris, not Chris, I'm sorry, Governor Cuomo, not Chris, his brother, put COVID patients in nursing homes, which resulted in the death of an estimated 15,000 people.
01:21:48.000Because they say, like, one of the things that I just Googled it, and they say, once you clearly invoke your rights, you must stop talking immediately.
01:21:56.000When you're in front of Congress, you're not allowed to stop talking.
01:21:58.000So you have to continuously invoke your right.
01:22:04.000I'm fairly certain any legal context, a judge is going to be like, we understand that Fauci has said he would plead the fifth on all questions from this point forward.
01:22:10.000Well, Congress wasn't going to, the Senate wasn't going to stop asking questions.
01:22:19.000You could literally just be like, at the first question, for this question you are asking and for all other questions asked, just presume my response is, I invoke my Fifth Amendment right.
01:24:31.000A handful of boats, even thousands of boats, all across the Mediterranean, ferrying dozens to hundreds of people into various countries, mass migration.
01:26:22.000I don't think we actually got to play any videos.
01:26:23.000When you see the video of them pouring through the gates and this could happen in my town and being physically violent, this is crazy.
01:26:30.000Like if this happened in your city, you realize they just keep coming.
01:26:34.000It's not water, it's not a tsunami, it's human beings who have opposable thumbs.
01:26:39.000The police are putting up walls around grocery stores because the migrants have begun breaking into grocery stores because they don't have anything.
01:26:47.000They came in with nothing in their garage.
01:27:01.000You have to call in the National Guard to protect the homeland.
01:27:03.000Other than that, you ask them opening fire, but these are unarmed migrants looking for a better life.
01:27:07.000If there's an invasion on your territory and you're asking me as a military, as a commander, what I would order, that would be something like defend the homeland with weapons.
01:27:16.000I would say this in any historical context, the immediate response from any government seeing this would be.
01:28:06.000It is crazy to think that governments have become so emotionally neutered that they can't order violence on invaders.
01:28:16.000I understand that that's a contextual argument that some people would not consider these people invaders.
01:28:23.000But I mean, I imagine it's going to get to a point where there's going to be something like this, and a government will order the guys to open fire, and it'll be a snap.
01:30:32.000What I'm saying is the actions Trump would take would not involve anything pertaining to violence against 70,000 people.
01:30:41.000It would be more so like, this is ridiculous.
01:30:44.000Congress needs to pass a law immediately to build construction on a new barrier, and it would.
01:30:48.000Keep happening because that's what literally happened.
01:30:50.000In January, whenever ICE deportations were happening in Minneapolis and two people got shot, that essentially led to pulling back on those operations, right?
01:31:19.000If a government were to use force to stop this, like all the media coverage would just focus on that and then it would be wildly unpopular.
01:31:26.000But maybe the media wouldn't even be covering it.
01:32:19.000Your society has to desire policy change enough to get the government to actually do something.
01:32:26.000And the policy changes that we need to see, you need to make sure that illegals don't get any kind of social services.
01:32:32.000Make sure that illegal people cannot get jobs, that they cannot rent a place to live.
01:32:39.000You need to make sure that they can't use the banking system, right?
01:32:43.000These are all things that are possible.
01:32:44.000Whether or not they're palatable to the American people right now, I don't know.
01:32:49.000But at some point, there are enough people that come over, and we might have already passed that, but there are enough people that come over that will say, oh, well, that was me, or that was my family, or those are my friends.
01:32:59.000So, no, we're not going to allow the government to enforce.
01:34:26.000If you were negligent in your duties in the hiring practice, and I'm not talking about the owner because the owners don't always handle hiring.
01:34:34.000So let's say you're the owner of an IHOP, you don't handle hiring, you have a manager who handles onboarding for staff.
01:34:41.000If that manager onboards an illegal immigrant negligently, meaning they knew something was off, their ID might be fake, or they weren't provided accurate information, but they hired them anyway, jail.
01:34:54.000If you are deceived by the illegal immigrant, then nobody's in trouble.
01:34:58.000You were tricked, you were defrauded, you're the victim.
01:35:00.000If the hiring person, be it the boss or a manager, knowingly, right to jail.
01:35:09.000Look, in our society, and actually in modern society, It is really hard to prevent this unless you're willing to do things that look unpalatable when the media is against you.
01:35:21.000To your point, like you saw the video, the first thing they did was that within the first, what, 45 seconds of that clip, they had a picture of a woman with two children running away from tear gas because, oh my goodness, who's going to think about the chilling, right?
01:35:36.000The chilling, the chilling, the chilling, it's so bad, the chilling, my poor chilling.
01:35:40.000Well, the chilling are coming here and they're going to be taking all the social services for, or they're going to be taking up social services.
01:35:48.000They've driven the cost of renting up 30%.
01:35:52.000Between 20 and 30 percent is the cost of housing now, the rise that we've seen because of illegal immigration.
01:36:00.000They are taking jobs that Americans will do.
01:36:14.000They take up space at the emergency room.
01:36:16.000And so that means that there are longer waits for health care.
01:36:19.000And these same people Increase in costs in health care, increase in costs as well.
01:36:22.000And these same people that say they don't actually affect or they're a net positive, they're also saying we should have free health care for everybody.
01:36:32.000Well, when you have free health care for everybody, that just extends the wait lines.
01:36:36.000And you can look at any countries that have socialized medicine and you see there's a massive increase in how long you have to wait to get basic care.
01:38:04.000I'm thinking about all the labor they could be doing in our country cheaply if we just allowed these child slavers to bring them to their pot farms.
01:38:14.000Trump had the Marines go out to aid in these migrant enforcement operations, and they found a bunch of children doing slave labor on pot farms.
01:39:26.000He was, I think he lived in North Texas.
01:39:30.000He sees his house on national television being overrun by illegals.
01:39:35.000And as the story that was told to me by the National Guard, our Border Patrol guys, this guy comes back to his house and finds.
01:39:45.000Texas Department of Public Safety just on his deck with rifles pointed across at Mexico and orders Texas Department of Public Safety off of his deck and orders the Border Patrol away.
01:40:00.000And there's this sort of ethos down there like, we will take care of this ourselves.
01:40:05.000We don't want the Border Patrol to take care of this.
01:40:25.000When children enter this country illegally, is the presumption that they came here of their own volition or were they brought here by somebody else?
01:42:14.000Donald Trump runs into a burning building, rescues two small children in a sack full of puppies, and he runs out coughing and gagging, falls down to his knees, and says, It may have taken years off my life.
01:42:25.000And I am horribly burned, but I saved these children.
01:42:28.000And the media is going to write Trump grotesquely coughs and gags at meeting with the public.
01:42:34.000And you're going to be like, well, yeah, he was coughing and gagging because he was choking on fire and smoke after he rescued those children.
01:44:11.000If the media reported like Ian Crossland kicks dog, it'll be like, it would say Tim Poole co host Ian Crossland caught on camera kicking dog.
01:44:19.000And then at the very bottom, it's a pit bull just ripping Ian's legs to shred.
01:44:23.000There's blood everywhere and he's screaming for help and kicking it.
01:44:25.000It was a baby pit bull, so its jaws were just forming, but it had clenched around my ankle and I couldn't get it off.
01:44:31.000And I was just waving my leg like a crazy missile.
01:44:35.000You saw a lot of that in the kid in Minnesota?
01:44:37.000This reminds me of Married with Children when Al Bundy, Punches a guy in the face, and then the show resolves with him saying, like, they got a bunch of him and Pegasus, and they were fanning money.
01:46:00.000Listen, when a firefighter runs into a burning building and carries out a child, and then hold on, and that child is then placed on a gurney and told not to go anywhere because they need oxygen, they are not detaining that child.
01:50:55.000And that one, that BBC story also, did you catch the quote in the sec?
01:50:59.000Like, so the lead was all biased, but then the quote right after it was like some United Farm Workers quote that was like, This chaotic raid, we can confirm that farm workers were hurt, right?
01:51:11.000So, like, they're also like choosing whose voice to elevate and whose perspective to elevate.
01:51:18.000Like, right off the bat, you're like concerned that people were hurt because they were being detained, even though they weren't supposed to be that, right?
01:51:47.000Well, I mean, that's why I want to see more center outlets, more right wing outlets get up to the top of the rankings because AI is going to spit back out what's popular.
01:51:55.000And what's popular, we got a good one, is being what's driven by the Connecticut firefighters on vacation in Maine, credited with saving two people from house fire.
01:55:26.000But that was kind of an idea that, like, all right, if you want to keep your ABC, if you want to keep your broadcast license, you've got to bring on a fact checker to correct you at the end of each show.
02:01:09.000That's basically the argument we're getting from Left Aligned Press.
02:01:12.000When it's like the actual story is a violent horde of migrants stormed the borders of Ceuta, defecating in the streets, destroying a local town.
02:01:23.000And then by their metric, it's in search of a better life.
02:04:39.000The only reason I'm not going to say what it is is because it does have a minor reference to the film, but it's an animation that gives you nothing.
02:04:46.000It may as well have been Howard the Duck saying, thanks for watching.
02:04:48.000That's personally my only criticism of the film.
02:06:09.000There was a great opportunity for the Punisher's character that doesn't occur in the movie that I won't describe, but is related to the Punisher, who he is, his mentality, and a psychic entity.
