On today's show, we have a special guest on the show, Ivory Hecker. She's a writer, editor, podcaster, and all-around great human being who has a lot to say about corruption in the media and the way it affects our everyday lives.
00:01:34.000Saying would you is there any way that you could come on the show in person tonight?
00:01:39.000And I know we have like five hours Five hours.
00:01:42.000Yeah, and I was like, oh my gosh, I was like, okay, I'm looking into a helicopter or a plane or something And he was like, please film yourself going onto a helicopter, you know, I was like look that's how awesome your show is Oh, thanks, man.
00:01:56.000We're gonna find ourselves a helicopter and get on right and Yeah, well, you made it and this is going to be awesome.
00:02:00.000So we're going to talk all about corruption in media.
00:02:03.000I mean, right now, Joe Biden has been, he was at the G7 summit.
00:02:06.000He was with Putin and a lot of people, even, you know, many people on the left and the right are pointing out the American journalists are screaming at Putin and not asking any of these questions to Joe Biden.
00:02:16.000We don't have a fair and honest media in this country anymore, so I'm glad you're here, and we're gonna talk about your story.
00:02:20.000Of course, I have a somewhat similar story.
00:02:22.000I didn't blow the whistle and come out and, you know, do some big expose, but I've certainly experienced a lot of what you've talked about, so we'll get into all that.
00:02:46.000I am your humble t-shirt vendor, and if you like the t-shirts I wear, you could get them at thebestpoliticalshirts.com, including the one that I wear now, and I might be live-tweeting on LukeWeAreChanged.
00:03:19.000We're going to learn a lot about the inner workings of the media and why we experience lies and manipulation.
00:03:26.000Of course, I've got personal experience, but we've got a big story right now, so we'll get into that.

00:03:40.000But you may notice there's other posts there.
00:03:44.000Many of these posts are, for some reason, appearing.
00:03:46.000We knew we were going to have a formatting issue, but I wanted to launch the Newsroom ASAP, so we've had Cassandra Fairbanks sign on as our new Editor-in-Chief, and she's been writing articles.
00:03:55.000We're doing phone calls with a bunch of journalists.
00:03:56.000We're going to be moving people into the area, and that's because your memberships allow us to hire real journalists, many people who are excited to have the ability to write real news Without political agenda, I'm not going to tell people what politics they have.
00:04:11.000I'm going to say, just write the facts.
00:04:12.000We're going to get a fact checker, and they're going to fact check, because we're going to double up and make sure real news is coming out.
00:04:17.000And that's because you guys are members.
00:04:18.000So I think in the genre that we're about to enter, media criticism, it's entirely perfect.
00:04:25.000So we have a bunch of amazing articles that just went up, and we will have a bonus members-only segment coming up around 11 or so p.m.
00:04:30.000after the show for members of the website.
00:04:33.000And then the full site should be launching in Well, I can say two or three weeks, but there's gonna be QA, there's gonna be testing and stuff, so we'll see, but hopefully within the next month or so, we will have a fully functioning news site with, hopefully, I'm thinking five people working on the news team to start.
00:04:48.000So, that's because you guys are members.
00:04:50.000Don't forget to smash that like button right now, subscribe to this channel, hit that notification bell, Share the show with your friends.
00:04:58.000If you think the stories that we're gonna hear right now about corruption in the media, if you think this stuff is very important and people need to know about it, maybe they don't believe you when you tell them the media is not telling you the truth.
00:06:35.000I knew that the audience was still buzzing about hydroxychloroquine after all of that crazy news about Stella Emanuel, the mass censorship across social media that we saw after that.
00:06:50.000I think people had lost more trust than ever in media when they saw this strange blackout where every hydroxychloroquine post was being deleted.
00:10:26.000Yahoo News had a story about, you know, HCQ, and they had a story titled, Drug endorsed by Trump, no more effective than placebo at warding off coronavirus, studies suggest.
00:11:09.000And there was other previous studies without zinc.
00:11:12.000And that's why Dr. Chris Martinson of Peak Prosperity was talking about how there was a debunked study that was personally not adding up to the science that he questioned that came out about hydroxychloroquine.
00:11:56.000You go and talk to a doctor before you do anything.
00:11:57.000So looking at the comparison of those two studies almost a year apart.
00:12:02.000It's just it's more of a confirmation that we need to keep the conversation going out
00:12:09.000Stop shutting down conversation about this, because we could have maybe connected more dots on this a lot earlier.
00:12:16.000I will add that that study that's come out is not peer-reviewed, and it's a preliminary research study that is not to be used for guidelines according to its, like the first paragraph in the study says, do not use this for clinical use.
00:13:09.000And I looked into this further and I actually made calls myself and collected raw data and came to find that he has dramatically lower death rates at his hospital
00:13:23.000compared to other hospitals across the county, the nation, and the world.
00:13:28.000This is a major story and I think this is why YouTube has had the hammer on it
00:13:34.000so effectively because you know there's a lot of implications here.
00:13:46.000Some are debunked, but the conversations that are being had are having to be had outside of big social media companies, and that's sad.
00:13:54.000And also outside of corporate news outlets as well.
00:13:59.000I will add, there is a really creepy, like, I don't need to describe it, but there's the left, the establishment left has their creepy Blue Anon worldview where Rachel Maddow screams Russia for years and they all just believe it.
00:14:11.000And then you do have, you know, QAnon people and people who just outright believe certain things.
00:14:40.000You should have a relationship with them.
00:14:42.000You should get some of the scientific studies, send them to your medical professional, and have an honest, real discussion with them, because if you can't trust your doctor, you're at the wrong doctor.
00:14:49.000You should be having real, honest conversations.
00:14:53.000I turn on the TV every day, and you'll see like some woman with blonde pigtails prancing through the field, and it'll be like, she's happy because she takes Flabodan.
00:15:03.000And I'm like, they just promote, they don't even tell me what the drug does.
00:15:07.000I remember seeing a commercial, I'm not gonna name the drug, they'll come after me, these people are litigious.
00:15:10.000But it was like, I'll keep it vague, and it was asking if this drug is right for you, and I'm just like, you didn't even tell me what it does!
00:15:17.000So it's like some old man's gonna call and he's gonna be like, I saw a commercial, is it right for me?
00:15:21.000And they're like, sir, this is for pregnant women.
00:15:24.000Oh, the commercial didn't tell me that.
00:15:26.000But these commercials that YouTube is probably taking ad money from, Oh, TV news is definitely taking ad money from that, and any TV news viewer knows that.
00:15:35.000The commercial breaks are full of drug companies, okay?
00:15:38.000TV news is heavily funded by drug companies.
00:15:42.000And does that compromise the newscast when the coverage comes to drugs?
00:16:47.000And it's like, what the hell am I taking?
00:16:49.000That's a majority of the commercial space.
00:16:53.000Going back to the corporate side of this, I guess what they were saying was that, in this video that came out, the video you got for Project Veritas, What is the reason why a corporate executive would say don't tell this story?
00:17:06.000you know, ethnic minorities wouldn't be interested in stories so they don't report it.
00:17:09.000And so I'm wondering in this regard if, what is the reason why a corporate executive would
00:17:16.000It sounds like the answer is they want to make money, right?
00:17:19.000Yeah, I really am not entirely sure what the motive was at the time.
00:17:26.000I think, I think Fox at this time, and I'm talking Fox Corp, they they feel such a target on their back for having the name Fox.
00:17:37.000And they are really you're really watching Fox start to crumble to that pressure is what's happening is they're starting to be so careful And if they see other media censoring something out, they join that team and say, we'll be safer.
00:17:56.000Yeah, so what I found interesting in the video that you did, or that you released, was when one woman says, you know, she passed on a story about Bitcoin because the 5 p.m.
00:18:09.000hour is, like, largely, you know, black people who wouldn't be interested in this story.
00:19:15.000And if you look at one technology that has enriched people, has helped people, has taken people out of poverty and given them some wealth, what technology recently has allowed people to do that?
00:20:01.000And if you step out of line, they all point at you in the same direction, and they fire their figurative lasers at you.
00:20:09.000All of a sudden now you're getting the heat from every single media outlet, every single activist organization, and then everyone gets scared it'll come for them, so they shut off working with you.
00:20:38.000So when I worked for Fusion, which was the ABC News Univision joint venture, I was talking to the president of the company and he told me, you know, our job here is to side with the audience.
00:21:40.000We basically love what you've done with Vice News because I was the I was the founding member.
00:21:44.000I was the first person they hired and really shaped a lot of it.
00:21:46.000They said, we want you to do that exact same thing here with new technology, new methodology, and I was like, that's fantastic.
00:21:54.000Went and talked, they gave me some numbers, I said, this is fantastic, I'm gonna have a budget, I'm gonna have a team, I'm gonna be making great money, and we're gonna launch something really incredible.
00:22:02.000Within about six months or so, the company went from, we want to be edgy and youthful to, we are completely woke in every way and we outright hate white people.
00:23:58.000I had a meeting with them in, I think this was in California because we were based in Miami.
00:24:04.000And I sat down with them after about a year or so into the contract and I said, if this is the way things are going to go, clearly I shouldn't be here.
00:24:12.000So how about we just end it now and you guys sever my contract?
00:24:47.000They're like, we need to have a conversation with you.
00:24:49.000And I was like, finally, it's been a few months.
00:24:51.000Now they're going to end my contract early and I can be rid of this company.
00:24:55.000No, I get a phone call thinking the guy's gonna say we've, you know, considered what you've talked about and we're gonna let you go.
00:25:00.000Instead he said, I just wanted to let you know we have a very serious matter to discuss with you and I think I'd rather just tell you in person.
00:25:10.000And he goes, yes, we're gonna be depositing a very large bonus, should be around $40,000 into your bank account and we don't want you to be alarmed by the number.
00:26:25.000I rag on the Republicans in a different way, and not nearly as much as I do the Democrats.
00:26:28.000But we're going to do something very, very different with our newsroom.
00:26:30.000We're going to get an independent fact-checker, two or three, and they're going to be in a different office, outside of our newsroom, fact-checking the articles we write.
00:26:37.000Because we're going to do it properly.
00:26:40.000So, you know, when I heard your story, I was like, I've experienced a lot of the similar things, right?
00:26:45.000When you had that video of the woman saying the audience wouldn't care about that.
00:26:49.000You know, why should we report on Bitcoin?
00:26:51.000The audience is not going to care about that.
00:26:52.000I'm like, oh, I know exactly what they're saying.
00:26:54.000And then when I thought it was interesting, too, because there's two sides to this.
00:26:57.000You mentioned that they're just interested in the executive's opinion.
00:27:03.000We don't want newsrooms where you have one executive saying, I just want propaganda for my worldview.
00:27:08.000And we also don't want a newsroom that says, just feed the peasants whatever confirmation bias you can give them.
00:27:14.000You want an eclectic group of real reporters with varying worldviews, seeking out the truth, seeking out information, and disseminating it.
00:27:22.000And that means often you'll have something that'll be offensive to Republicans or offensive to Democrats.
00:29:21.000And then I remembered later that day, watching the Jon Stewart show, because this was a few years ago, the same exact questions that allegedly came from the audience was what Jon Stewart was asking Condoleezza Rice in this, you know, prescripted interview that she knew all the right talking points to sell her book.
00:29:37.000She probably sent him the questions and said, this is all you're allowed to ask me.
00:30:38.000It was wild, but what you experienced happening to you, the kind of golden handcuffs, happened to a lot of people.
00:30:45.000Whether it's Philip Donahue, whether it's Jesse Ventura, there's a lot of people reporting how they get bought out by big companies and all they have to do is not do anything.
00:30:55.000Guys, when you said golden handcuffs, I was like, what a concept.
00:30:59.000I almost felt in some ways like that's been something that's been happening to me.
00:31:04.000The more I push back internally, I mean, I started aggressively pushing back against my bosses on these things.
00:31:11.000Like, I lost all fear of confrontation with my bosses.
00:31:14.000When I saw the depths to which they stooped late last summer, I was like, okay.
00:31:18.000I don't want to be a part of this company anyway.
00:31:20.000So I'm not going to tiptoe around my bosses.
00:31:22.000And I started to, I started to call them out every chance I got.
00:31:26.000Every time they did something sketchy, I would call them out.
00:31:29.000And what started to happen is I, I started to like get any day off that I wanted.
00:31:35.000I got like two weeks off over Christmas and New Year's.
00:31:42.000Uh, it's just, So I don't want to ask you to answer this about you personally, but would you say that these local newsrooms in general, on average, pay well?
00:31:58.000I mean, it's not... Like relative to the... It's not low.
00:32:02.000It's probably more than most people make.
00:32:05.000That's what I'm wondering, you know, for like somebody who lives in the Houston area, maybe they're a trades, they work a trade of some sort, or maybe they have, you know, they drive Uber, or they maybe work at a Walmart or something.
00:32:19.000This is what I find really fascinating about the whole thing is it's almost like the whole system relies on you just recognizing that you are a privileged elite and you don't want to leave the club, right?
00:32:29.000I walk into Vice when I first started there.
00:32:31.000A lot of those people got paid really poorly.
00:32:33.000Let's be honest, like Vice didn't pay all that well.
00:32:34.000They were notorious for it, but there are many news outlets.
00:32:39.000In New York, I shouldn't even call them news outlets, they pay an insane amount of money.
00:32:42.00060 grand to write listicles about, you know, like, different hamsters they saw on the internet.
00:32:46.000It's like, why are they getting paid so much per year when the guy who cleans the toilets gets paid a third of that or half that?
00:32:54.000Why is it that the guy who has to wait around in the sewer is getting paid less than the person who's fresh out of college with no experience writing trash for the internet?
00:33:01.000I think it's because control of information is extremely important.
00:33:05.000So they want people to look around and say, I don't want to be a garbage man.
00:34:12.000the the the oh you're not you're not it's basically you're you're not right wing at all are you yeah that was a slightly right leaning pitch there you pitched a story that uh What are your views?
00:34:27.000And everyone in news is terrified to ever be thought to possibly lean to the right.
00:34:35.000You have to be leaning to the left, which is so sad.
00:35:53.000Do not take this to be financial advice, and I'm just gonna tell you about my opinions.
00:35:58.000If you put money in a savings account, When I put money in a savings account, inflation devalues my currency.
00:36:05.000My ability to buy things diminishes over time because of the way the Federal Reserve prints money.
00:36:10.000When I put my money in Bitcoin, the value of the Bitcoin went up and my purchasing power actually increased.
00:36:17.000Teaching poor people that they could find a way out, I have to imagine a lot of elites and rich people don't like the idea that poor people can escape the system they've created.
00:37:43.000I previously just put out a chart on my Twitter account showing the exact amount of CO2 caused by all these other alternatives.
00:37:49.000And Bitcoin is all the way down there, very low.
00:37:51.000But yet again, Elizabeth Warren, is the one campaigning a huge war against Bitcoin, trying to of course control it, regulate it, and of course make sure that people can't enrich themselves some way or keep their money some way through the larger financial crimes that are happening against the public right now.
00:38:08.000Let's go back to that thing you were mentioning.
00:38:09.000Let's see, I think I have this pull this up somewhere.
00:39:24.000Chrissy Todd Whitman announced that after the EPA got their results, Fudged the data.
00:39:29.000The data went through Condoleezza Rice.
00:39:30.000Condoleezza Rice edited out that it was unsafe, that it was toxic, that it was going to kill people.
00:39:35.000George W. Bush then published the findings, gave it out to the mainstream media according with the EPA guidelines, and the EPA announced that air is safe to breathe, even though they edited out the findings.
00:39:44.000You hear EPA, and that is God to the media.
00:40:17.000The New York Post put out a story, Hunter Biden, his laptop, and social media shut the story
00:40:22.000They said it was misinformation, we can't allow this.
00:40:25.000The spokesperson from Facebook goes on Twitter and says, I'm blocking this information.
00:40:30.000These people, this is a religion, this is cult-like behavior.
00:40:35.000They don't care if it's true, they just, the priests of their new religion have said it, therefore they must act, and they shut the news down.
00:40:48.000Like the media is going to tell you the truth.
00:40:50.000And the Wuhan lab story which they were contradicting and now they're contradicting themselves once again with, you know, the admissions and the data that clearly suggests that.
00:41:00.000Another thing I wanted to bring up, along with the golden handcuffs, A kind of analogy is what happened to Jesse Ventura, because he has an amazing story of working for MSNBC in 2003, where he was rightly anti-war.
00:41:13.000He was against the war in Afghanistan.
00:41:15.000He says, there's no way I will support it.
00:41:17.000MSNBC bought him a full time show that he was supposed to do five days a week.
00:41:22.000And they asked him, you're going to be pro-war.
00:41:34.000He couldn't say anything about it during that year.
00:41:36.000He couldn't do any interviews about it.
00:41:37.000They controlled every aspect of his existence.
00:41:40.000We even, I can't believe we're saying this, but even Cenk Uygur had horrible experiences at MSNBC with them trying to control, I mean, if you're trying to control Cenk Uygur, And what and what his talking points are and he even came out rightfully so against MSNBC I mean wow you got you got a major problem when it comes to controlling the narrative controlling the agenda with closely
00:42:03.000Psychologically approved written talking points that ... are meant to have an effect that effect predominantly is ... horrible for the general public and really good for the ... special interest for the billionaire class and the ... multinational globalist that benefit off of these horrible ... policies that hurt people more than they help them.
00:42:20.000One thing that people need to understand about how these newsrooms work is that when we hear this story about Jesse Ventura, people think that some big boss is coming down to the employees and saying, you will report as I tell you or else.
00:42:32.000But often what they do is they just recruit people they know to be either docile or who already believe in a certain ideology or agenda they're pushing.
00:42:41.000So they will go to, they'll see someone tweeting a bunch, like tweeting non-stop about Palestine, saying Israel is bad.
00:42:47.000Then they'll come to them and say, you're a really great reporter, would you like to be our Middle East reporter?
00:42:51.000Knowing this person will frame every story as anti-Israel or pro-Palestine.
00:42:55.000The inverse is true in many regards, depends on what the corporate entity wants, what kind of idea they want to push.
00:43:00.000Why bother hiring someone and then trying to bribe them to say lies when you could find someone who's already willing to lie or is just really dumb anyway?
00:43:09.000And they'll just say what you want to be said.
00:43:11.000Well, at Fox 26, every word that I would say on air was pre-approved by my boss, Lee, first.
00:43:19.000So, there was no... Tightly written scripts?
00:43:26.000I would write a script of what I was going to say on TV.
00:43:30.000And then I would send it to her, and she would make changes if she wanted to, and send the script back to me, and that's what I would say on TV.
00:44:15.000You'd think that the media would be cheering for you, calling out Vox, right?
00:44:19.000Like these leftists at, say, the Daily Beast would be saying, wow, you've exposed the Murdochs for who they really are, trying to force you to lie or withhold information.
00:46:37.000I'm like, you could feel and sense energy when you're in tune with it, and you just smell the scumbaggery through a lot of these low-life, psychopathic individuals that have sick, twisted personalities that try to befriend you in this fake, sick way in order to try to destroy you, and it's convincing.
00:46:57.000A lot of people who aren't I'll reveal a little bit about this one situation I think Luke may be referring to.
00:47:13.000There was a point where this journalist who had agreed to do an interview left a wireless microphone on and active.
00:47:22.000at a table and saying bye I'll see y'all later and people were still sitting around and it seemed like it was meant to catch audio off the record when we when he left so he could record all of our conversation I'm like there's a hot microphone a wireless hot microphone I forgot who found it but I was absolutely furious about it because who goes into your home and leaves a hot microphone inside of your home essentially wiretapping us when when we were having private conversations But, but, the response was, oh, it was just an accident, we
00:47:54.000forgot it was there, it's no big deal.
00:48:58.000Why would they make themselves look so bad?
00:49:00.000But so, you know, they try to make that claim that when you actually hear people saying these words that they're deceptively editing or whatever, what these journalists do is they mishmash quotes from you so they can claim you literally said them.
00:49:16.000And then they can publish whatever they want.
00:49:18.000They can use various tricks so that I can take a quote from you and then I can edit dot dot dot and take a different quote and mash them together so it makes it sound like you believe insane things.
00:49:34.000There was a famous comedian caught doing this in Australia with the reporter, Avi, I forgot his exact full name, but he secretly recorded the interview.
00:49:45.000And I had many media publications come to me and be like, we want to do an interview.
00:49:48.000I'm like, okay, I'm going to record it too.
00:50:52.000So what New Yorker did was they removed it, but instead of admitting fault, They said a quote from Tim Poole has been removed because it contained errors.
00:51:03.000But then what happened was many people in media started saying Tim lied and provided false quotes to the New Yorker because the New Yorker should have come out and said Andrew Marantz.
00:51:12.000Andrew Marantz is a lying, two-faced, duplicitous, fake reporter who makes things up and then doesn't correct himself.
00:51:53.000And I said, yeah, your errors, so put that it was your error.
00:51:56.000And he goes, we're not going to do that.
00:51:58.000Yeah, welcome to the media and then he's writing this like trivial meaningless drama that has absolutely no merit on
00:52:04.000any real life or Anybody's else existence and I'm like, how do you call
00:52:08.000yourself a journalist? Like how do you look yourself in the mirror?
00:52:11.000I know I know but but it's just hard to fathom how someone could be so duplicitous
00:52:16.000I had the Southern Poverty Law Center do the same thing about me.
00:52:20.000Take two different statements, pull them together as if I was calling for a violent revolution, when I was specifically calling for a non-violent evolution of people waking up, informing themselves, and helping out their fellow brothers and sisters in starting communities.
00:52:34.000They took two separate quotes, put them together as if I called for a violent revolution, and they put that on their website, and they put me a part of their patriot hit list.
00:52:48.000There's a video, there's a YouTube video that they took it from, and the two exact quotes are in two different positions, and you just conflated it to try to make me look like somebody I'm not.
00:53:20.000They are corporations that seek to make money off of infotainment.
00:53:23.000So Project Veritas, a non-profit, doesn't make money off of infotainment.
00:53:29.000It makes money off of exposing corruption.
00:53:31.000You can argue that, like Southern Poverty Law Center, oh, they make money when they get these stories accusing people of being racist.
00:53:38.000Oh, Project Veritas makes money when they can accuse someone of malfeasance.
00:53:42.000I suppose the difference is that Project Veritas puts out videos where people's mouths are moving, whereas Southern Poverty Law Center just writes whatever they want, kind of makes things up.
00:53:49.000Actually, I will say outright makes things up.
00:53:51.000They had to retract an article about me and a bunch of other leftists, which is really funny.
00:53:56.000They claimed, I love it, I love it, Southern Poverty Law Center, you guys deserve this one.
00:54:21.000Well, it turns out their source for this was a conspiracy theory website for Holocaust deniers that had been deleted and someone archived.
00:54:31.000And the Southern Poverty Law Center thought that was a credible source to publish on their hate watch or whatever and accuse me of actually going there.
00:54:39.000And I remember talking to a lawyer on the phone.
00:54:42.000You know, if there's going to be a defamation case here, you need to tell me if you've ever, if you've actually gone to something like this, or is there any way that this could be construed as just his opinion on the matter?
00:54:51.000And I was like, I've never been to Iran.
00:54:59.000And then the Southern Poverty Law Center had to retract that.
00:55:01.000Their goal is just to make money off of shot content.
00:55:04.000And here's the really sad thing is that the media puts a lot of weight on what the Southern Poverty Law Center says.
00:55:10.000When I was with the NBC affiliate in Minneapolis, there was a story that I was, there was actually anti-jihad protest happening that I was assigned to, and the group who was protesting jihad, the Southern Poverty Law Center had listed as a terrorist group, I guess, or a hate group.
00:55:31.000And so my TV station actually told me, don't go interview them.
00:55:37.000We don't want to give a hate group time of day on camera.
00:55:42.000So because this little law center said that this group is a hate group, they were about to get zero airtime.
00:55:51.000They couldn't even explain themselves why they were protesting jihad.
00:56:46.000But anyway, I went and interviewed the Islamic group that stands firmly with jihad, too.
00:56:53.000It was a very interesting story, but I had to put my foot down on that story.
00:56:57.000But a lot of reporters and news people are pushovers.
00:57:00.000They don't want to interject and say that I want to interview this person because, God forbid, oh, she likes to give hate groups the time of day.
00:57:09.000No, we're trying to get to the bottom of the truth on this.
00:57:11.000Now, when I worked for Fusion, there was a pitch from one of our producers.
00:57:15.000They wanted to go and film a Klan training, like actual Klan members, of which there's very few.
00:57:20.000There's a few thousand in the country remaining, I think.
00:57:23.000And people at Fusion said, we don't want to give a hate group coverage.
00:57:29.000Well, Vice ended up doing something similar.
00:57:31.000They embedded with a bunch of alt-right and white nationalists in Charlottesville and won a bunch of awards for it.
00:57:37.000They actually had a reporter go into the hotel room of white nationalists, allow these white nationalists to say any and everything, and they won an award for it.
00:57:47.000So long as you are part of their cult, and for whatever reason they accept it, then you get to do it.
00:57:54.000But if you challenge them in any way, if you're not bending the knee to their indoctrination, then they'll remove you and say you can't.
00:58:01.000I feel like the media is so easily manipulated.
00:58:04.000I think there's a lot of innocent, naive media members who don't realize they're being manipulated by groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center, who is peer-pressuring them into not talking to people who were actually standing up for individuals' rights.
00:58:21.000After there were some lawsuits, the SPLC took down their slander of me because they were getting sued left and right.
00:58:27.000But Chris Matthews of MSNBC on his primetime program said that there's a rise of racist right-wing teabaggers with groups like We Are Change.
00:58:38.000So I made sure to doorstep and to confront Chris Matthews face-to-face, and I was like, hey, Chris, you called my independent news organization that strives to do independent reporting, a right-wing racist tea-bagging group.
01:01:01.000So I'm climbing the mountain with my cameraman, and I was telling him about this insanity that I'm dealing with at Fox, and how I'm having to record them to protect myself.
01:01:14.000And he was like, yeah, he's like, you should just get out of there as soon as possible and be just like Tim Pool.
01:01:34.000And I was like, wow, he does great YouTube shows.
01:01:38.000This is way more informative than our newscasts.
01:01:41.000Well, now I'm trying to get more and more journalists to do original reporting.
01:01:44.000And so we just had a conversation with one guy who's going to do a lot of original policy and culture stuff, and it's going to be fantastic.
01:01:52.000Because I can't count on these other outlets to do it.
01:01:55.000You know, it's funny how we read a lot of these outlets and we assume the news is true if it makes sense, right?
01:03:37.000Alright, we're getting a yes from the other camera guy.
01:03:39.000So, uh, he was promoting this guy, and so he came up with a really good idea.
01:03:42.000They bought a billboard, and I could be ruining- I could be getting the story wrong, it's been a little while, but the story is basically this.
01:03:47.000They put up a billboard, and then they personally vandalized the billboard.
01:03:53.000Then, the next day, he calls the radio station and he goes, I'm driving down the street and I see this billboard, it's all vandalized, apparently this Tucker Max guy's like a bigot and a misogynist.
01:04:02.000So then the local media was like, ooh, what happened?
01:04:06.000So the media got on it, reported this story, giving free press to Tucker Max, and then I guess they organized the protest against themselves so that they could generate press for his book or movie or whatever, and it worked.
01:04:20.000It is so incredibly easy to manipulate the press, and I think that's one of the big problems.
01:04:23.000When the media is decaying, struggling to make money as the landscape changes, and they're easily manipulated by activist groups, it just becomes an activist apparatus.
01:04:34.000Either it's gonna sell more waffles or whatever from the Eggo Corporation or whatever, whatever company's trying to sell, so they gotta make the most punchy confirmation, biased news, or the activists have taken over, like at the New York Times.
01:04:48.000We saw Barry Weiss quit because she's like, people in New York Times are nervous and it's being taken over by these indoctrinated, this cult mentality and stuff.
01:04:59.000Well, when you read the news, you're probably just reading ideological garbage.
01:05:03.000Especially when it comes to domestic stuff.
01:05:04.000It's what it's been like for millennia.
01:05:06.000Like I think about Julius Caesar, he'd go to battle and then he'd write the history report about what the battle was about.
01:05:10.000He'd write about who the enemies were, if he even wrote about them at all.
01:05:13.000And I mean, we didn't even have what's called a press until they invented the printing press, which is like 500 year old technology, the idea of a press.
01:05:20.000And then even in the last 80 or a hundred years that we had it be, you'd be allowed to speak out against your government, like vocally with the American democracy before you just get killed or put in prison.
01:05:32.000You know, history being written by the victors is not the same as a massive media apparatus writing things that serve a political goal in the end, right?
01:05:43.000If Caesar was going out telling everybody that he had already won the war before it started, or that, you know, making up lies to guarantee and manipulate the public, that's more akin—and I'm sure many of you— Yeah, they would do that stuff.
01:05:56.000The difference is subtle, I suppose, but you make a good point.
01:06:01.000It's always about these powerful groups that want to manipulate poor people, keep knowledge away from them so they can't rise up, so they can't protect themselves, and so they're working basically as serfs, or I guess back in Rome, slaves, for the Empire.
01:06:14.000Think it goes back to I mean conspiracy alert the Bible Lucifer the light bringer who gave the technology of light to the people I don't know that he did that.
01:06:24.000Well, they call him the light bringer.
01:06:26.000So I'm trying to think why would they call him the light bringer?
01:06:28.000Well, well if you give electricity to people like Zeus had electricity at that light and you didn't read it You probably shouldn't make assumptions about what the story I'm all over the place, Tim!
01:06:36.000Well, if you look even at the history of the printing press, this was something that was pushed back by the establishment, by the powers that be, that didn't want the printing press because they didn't want people reading certain scriptures, certain documents, because it empowered them.
01:06:51.000And whenever we have new technology come, it gives us a small window, a small opportunity to actually talk to one another, to find out what the world is really like, and One of the most important powers you could have in this world is controlling the free flow of information.
01:07:05.000And then you could usually correlate in a society how free the press is to how free the people are.
01:07:11.000And if people are under a press that is tightly controlled by special interests, by intelligence agencies, by people like Udo Ufkert, who was a prominent German Journalists who openly talked about how the CIA was right in writing press releases that the mainstream media was just regurgitating whenever you have a tightly controlled Mainstream media that just regurgitates the talking points of the special interest of the powers-that-be you have a people that aren't free and You expect me to do to do what research the press release and actually write a news story about it Okay, listen listen
01:08:11.000And that's why I'm putting out these recordings, especially the one that I just put out tonight, because I want to show why reporters self-censor themselves to protect themselves.
01:08:20.000They want to avoid going through exactly what I went through.
01:08:23.000A lot of reporters live in fear, fear of losing their job or being hurt some way by their bosses.
01:11:14.000So being if Brzezinski that was Jimmy Carter's presidential advisor, a part of the Trilateral
01:11:18.000Commission Bilderberg Council Council on Foreign Relations and really pulled a lot of strings
01:11:23.000When you look at organizations like the Council on Foreign Relations, there's a reason why they allow so many journalists a part of their secretive club.
01:11:30.000There's a reason they have so many off-the-record meetings between people in high positions of power and the mainstream media, and they work kind of in tandem here.
01:11:37.000And that's why, you know, we have to understand here, There's so much power, there's so much cause and effect by information, and when you could tightly control it, you could do so many amazing things, but you could also do so many awful things.
01:11:49.000And when you look at the history of the mainstream media, I mean, if there's an honest, good-working YouTube moderator out there, which I doubt, but if there is, Just please please look at the record of the mainstream ... media and look how many times they were wrong and look ... how many times independent media has been right calling ... things out small mom-and-pop operations have been calling ... things out correctly for so long we finally have the ... opportunity to be heard and that opportunity is closing ... down every single day with.
01:12:19.000Algorithms, de-platforming, de-monetizations, there's so many things standing in the way.
01:12:22.000And that's why, you know, what you're doing with TimCast.com, what other people are doing, starting their own platforms, starting their own services, and your guys' participation in it is absolutely crucial because you need to not only vote with your dollar, but vote with your attention, with your clicks, with your shares, and it means everything.
01:12:42.000And I really think we're seeing that happen.
01:12:44.000I think that the ratings and the readers and everything is moving away from the establishment media to the alternative media.
01:12:53.000This is the era of the independent journalist.
01:12:55.000I don't think we're the alternative media anymore.
01:12:56.000I think collectively we're getting more traffic, aren't we?
01:13:03.000I think they would consider you an alternative, but here's the thing.
01:13:06.000Yeah, but that's like an old man saying, get off my lawn.
01:13:08.000Exactly, but who cares what the establishment, anyone thinks, because the viewers, the actual citizens, are gravitating to the truth seekers.
01:13:19.000Yeah, you know, I think one of the biggest problems that we have in society, people getting scared of what the establishment thinks.
01:13:29.000Or having a hit piece on them, which now is a badge of honor.
01:13:32.000Now I see the mainstream media trashing someone, I'm going to be like, okay, well, let me do a little bit of research and not believe them point blank, because there's usually an agenda to try to trash or bring someone down, or even just an egotistical push to bring someone down for the algorithm.
01:13:46.000So there's a lot of manipulation happening behind the scenes, being aware of it, being conscious, being able to take a few moments to breathe and take a step back and look at the larger picture.
01:13:55.000It's something that more and more people need to do.
01:13:57.000And sadly, the mainstream media doesn't like that.
01:14:02.000They don't want you in a state that you're not in a constant fear state, that you're not in a constant stress state, that you're not in a constant consumer state.
01:14:10.000Because bad consumers is bad for business, bad for advertisers, bad for the overall agenda.
01:14:15.000It's so interesting, the harder they push for that, they're getting the opposite of what they're trying for.
01:14:20.000It's freaking people out and causing them to think for themselves and seek out answers for themselves.
01:14:26.000But there is a weird divide where some people, I think, know something's wrong, but they refuse to speak out because they're cowards.
01:14:48.000And let me tell you, we've already heard from several insiders in newsrooms who are saying they're ready to kind of follow in my footsteps.
01:15:26.000It's really hard to be a true journalist in the corporations.
01:15:29.000In some beats, in some news beats, you can do great journalism.
01:15:32.000Like the crime beat, they would let me cover crime, no problem.
01:15:36.000I don't know about that so much anymore.
01:15:39.000I mean, there's this really funny story where they said that there's a lot of memes going around about stop Asian hate and the perpetrators being black men.
01:15:50.000And this report, I think it was from NBC News, said, but when we actually looked at all known suspects in the media, we found 75% were white.
01:15:58.000Many outlets have straight-up said they will not reveal the race of an individual if it would, you know, produce a harmful stereotype or contribute to one.
01:16:05.000So you want to cover crime, don't be surprised if, you know, there was this moment in Sweden where a guy committed a crime and so the media outlet pixelated his face and then changed the tone behind the pixels because, you know, we want to avoid racist stereotypes.
01:16:18.000It's like, uh, or recently it was the Austin... There was a shooting in in texas in the newspaper didn't want to describe the
01:16:25.000suspect that was a large shows that large that people are looking for that shot up a
01:16:30.000nightclub and and then and then newspaper refused to even did to talk about
01:16:34.000how he was i had a school because i had a star work i had a co-worker who did
01:16:38.000that in minneapolis when i was at the nbc
01:16:41.000she covered a crime story This guy is on the loose after committing a vicious crime.
01:16:48.000Typically, when we're doing that, at the end of the story, we say, hey guys, please look out for this guy.
01:16:54.000She refused to do that part of the story, helping catch this criminal because he was black and she didn't want to say a description like that.
01:18:34.000I believe that's what got their official account banned.
01:18:37.000Then eventually, Twitter does ban James O'Keefe.
01:18:40.000You know, I think it's fairly obvious.
01:18:42.000James O'Keefe, Project Veritas, all of the great reporters, they do great journalism, empowered by people like you who blow the whistle and call out the malfeasance.
01:18:50.000And that's really scary to the establishment.
01:19:25.000That's how I feel now don't get me wrong like the narrative of you have nothing to hide
01:19:28.000You have nothing nothing to worry about is very bad when it comes to an authoritarian police state
01:19:32.000But you look at these companies and how worried they are about how someone could be Veritas and the security
01:19:36.000protocols they got to do and it's kind of like Be honest
01:19:41.000Like, if somebody from Veritas secretly recorded somebody who worked here and said something dumb, I'd be like, well, I guess I said something dumb.
01:20:41.000You don't need to occupy the street at all if you occupy the minds of the people.
01:20:44.000If the only information they can get access to tells them whatever you want them to think, well, there you go.
01:20:50.000You know, and I'll mention this, because I used to watch Star Trek The Next Generation all the time.
01:20:54.000I've seen every episode a million times, but before the show, and people commented I should watch Stargate SG-1.
01:21:00.000So I started watching Stargate SG-1, and in this show, advanced aliens pretend to be gods to control and manipulate human populations to use them as slaves.
01:21:40.000When you have Barack Obama and Neil deGrasse Tyson talking about how there's UFOs out there and how we need more money for the military, you should start asking yourself some questions about what's really going on here, because it's not usually what they say.
01:21:54.000Oh, they're using the UFOs as an excuse to get more military.
01:21:57.000Barack Obama made a specific statement saying, you know, we're gonna find out that aliens are real, and this is going to mean we're gonna have to increase the military budget.
01:22:05.000That's his own words from... But what if aliens are real?
01:23:14.000We should have gardens with vegetables that you can grow, and you can be responsible for some of the food you eat.
01:23:18.000You should exercise, you should read books, get away from the cities, pollute less, be, you know, more in tune with what it's like to actually survive and be responsible for yourself.
01:23:27.000And you know what, this criticism is mostly towards people in cities because the people in the rural areas basically know all this already.
01:23:33.000The people in cities live in cubicles stacked on top of each other in cities that smell like sour milk and then complain about the problems they've created.
01:23:40.000These people need to get with the program and learn how to be human again.
01:24:38.000Because we don't eat eggs every day so we had like six today and I was like wow so I'd like I got to eat these eggs and then but we've got six other we've got five other chickens turns out one of them's a rooster so we're gonna have tons of eggs all the time we're gonna have like six eggs per day and that's that's just from the chickens eating the bugs the bugs eat the grass and they give us eggs yeah being responsible more for ourselves that's what I'm saying you know We are getting solar panels installed.
01:25:03.000We're trying to be more energy efficient.
01:25:39.000They do very little work in exchange for tons of money while thinking they're poor.
01:25:43.000And I'm not trying to be mean to people who live in cities who think they're poor, but man, If you live in a big city and you can walk outside and go for a buck, get a cheeseburger, you're doing better than 99.9% of the entire planet.
01:25:55.000And now they've lived in such a way that they've lost touch with what it actually means to be responsible for your own health and safety and security.
01:26:02.000They've deferred everything to the mainstream media to tell them what to do and what to think, and then they complain about it.
01:26:07.000They complain about the system instead of realizing they're being lied to, and it's time to roll up your sleeves and actually do some hard work.
01:26:22.000You know, I'm fairly pessimistic in terms of talking about war and conflict and especially with, you know, Joe Biden saying the Fed, you know, people should snitch on their family members and the Feds wanting to go after extremists.
01:26:41.000There's a lot of difficult challenges ahead, but I'm 100% confident we're going to succeed.
01:26:46.000And operating under that assumption, what does the next 5-10 years look like?
01:26:52.000A large independent news outlet challenging the lies in the mainstream media and helping clear away the noise, helping people understand what's actually happening and choose for themselves how they should live and how they should vote.
01:27:39.000Yeah, that's gonna be the future of independent media because up until internet video, independent media, I don't know what it was, Alex Jones screaming on the radio, then it was YouTube, but then we realized that it's not independent if it's on corporate Google.
01:27:55.000Alex Jones got his start by literally going down to the local public access station that filmed on some cable news channels, and that was where he got his start.
01:28:04.000So this will be the next public access.
01:28:06.000But we're going to have to get off ISPs.
01:28:08.000That'll be the big next step after we get off the social networks.
01:28:54.000It's your website with your open source code operating this, and then people who like your content can become members, sign up to pay so that you can do your own work.
01:29:03.000The goal of this is, let's say you start a Substack, which is where a lot of these journals have gone.
01:29:12.000Oh, they will ban you because they've already done that to a lot of people.
01:29:16.000So we want to make something that's harder to ban.
01:29:18.000Not impossible to ban, I mean, your domain registrar or your server company, they could still terminate services to you, but it eliminates, it makes it harder to do.
01:29:29.000So, you know, hopefully we get to that point, where people can just buy server space, buy a domain, drop a program into their server and execute it, and then boom, they've got a functioning website, add some graphics, done.
01:29:42.000Probably what will happen is we'll have mesh networks and our phones will be our servers.
01:29:53.000So I went on a cruise several years ago.
01:29:56.000There's no phone service, so what they did was everyone had to turn on Bluetooth and you downloaded this app where it connects every phone to each other.
01:30:04.000So if you send a message to your friend who's on the other side of the cruise, your phones Well, your phone will hit this guy's phone with that guy's phone and then bounce around all the way until it makes it to the end.
01:30:39.000I really am craving some solitude right now, like just being Alone for a while.
01:30:46.000I am working on this really important story that I mentioned to you guys of finishing Bringing this full circle that what started with dr. Verone last August and and Fox clamping down so hard on that story I'm digging back in and saying let's get to the bottom.
01:32:45.000That'll be for members only, but your membership helps support the fierce independent journalism, which we will be expanding upon.
01:32:52.000Right now, Cassandra Fairbanks is leading the charge, but we've been going through resumes, we've been having phone calls, and we're probably gonna be adding people very, very soon.
01:33:00.000And the new website will be up within the next month or so.
01:33:02.000So it's going to be beautiful and amazing.
01:33:49.000And we've got, I'm not gonna name anybody, but we've got a really big week coming up with a bunch of people that's like... We're gonna be... You ever see those videos of like the Russian dudes who climb on cranes and like dangle with one arm?
01:34:02.000That's basically what we're doing next week in terms of YouTube banning us.
01:34:07.000So we got some big names and we're basically gonna be dangling off the edge of that crane.
01:34:12.000Confident we can pull ourselves up and not get banned, but uh...
01:35:01.000Yeah, they definitely they assigned me to that story when it goes going through the legislature there because, you know, I'm a Texas reporter and it was all about racial groups.
01:36:29.000Jacob Richardson says, I can verify that the anti-extremism and wokeness CRT and diversity trainings are causing people to leave the military.
01:38:56.000Yeah, the ATF released a guidelines that's very complex, very big about their proposals for, you know, firearms and receivers and all these different things.
01:39:07.000And they're actually taking comments from the general public about it.
01:39:11.000So people are asking people to get involved, which your choice, but I think it's going to be interesting to see what the ATF does.
01:39:20.000There's a lot of comments just saying to hire Ivory.
01:40:26.000Send, be brave, go to Project Veritas and expose.
01:40:30.000There is a huge demand for legit, bold truth seekers.
01:40:36.000So if you get out of the corporate media, you know, people are going to want to tune into you.
01:40:41.000This is so important, because people are so scared about speaking up.
01:40:44.000So I'm really glad that you're sharing your story, because we really need to motivate people to come out and be like, yeah, this is actually happening.
01:40:50.000And when you do, you email, as far as I know, VeritasTips at ProtonMail.
01:41:29.000But man, I look at a lot of the anti-establishment, woke, or whatever.
01:41:34.000There's very few people who are fighting as hard as James is, and doing a good job of it especially.
01:41:38.000So, I'm eternally grateful that Veritas exists.
01:41:42.000Alright, Benjamin Dine says the establishment wants to make sure the public panics at the right time, so they can provide the appropriate insight into the situation.
01:41:49.000So the public will just believe whatever they say without question, potentially.
01:41:53.000I think they want people to panic at the right time so they can game the market.
01:41:56.000So they can force all the people to lose their resources, they can buy them up, and then crank the prices up and sell them high, and that's the game they play.
01:42:23.000And they loved the death count and they were hoping it was gonna go up and they had it on the screen.
01:42:28.000Guys, let me tell you, when COVID first came in March last year, My news team was reporting the case count and the death numbers and I was getting those numbers as well as the recovery rates from all the local counties and I was actually shocked looking at the sensationalism in the media at that time and then looking at the recovery rate
01:42:49.000I was like, oh, people are recovering really quick because initially it was like, wait, do you ever get over this?
01:42:55.000And in our morning editorial meeting in our boardroom, I said, Susan, to my boss, we need to put the recovery rate on the TV, too, to give the full picture.
01:43:17.000You ever see that meme where it was like, type in three random numbers and like a city and or type in three random numbers and COVID and you'll find stories.
01:43:27.000And so like, I did. It works, yeah. Like, like, or it was, it was three
01:43:31.000random numbers and cases or something.
01:43:34.000And the stories, there's just, they're just always something. It's, it's really weird.
01:43:38.000Any three random numbers. Nine, obviously not starting with zero, but you know. Wow.
01:45:28.0007 1 3 now change it to 7 1 2 put 7 1 2 what is going on?
01:45:33.000This is the most propagandized. No, I think it's being No, I think it's because the media was tracking every single number, every single day.
01:45:40.000Maryland reports 712 new coronavirus cases.
01:45:42.000Because it was the shock content they wanted.
01:46:26.000Well, we got a lot of work to do, but you can always send your email to pitches at timcast.com, where we have somebody who goes through them and then tries to figure out what we're capable of doing.
01:46:34.000There's a lot of things we want to do.
01:49:05.000I'm very taken by Ben Franklin lately, and he was noted, I think when he went to the first Constitutional Convention, he said nothing the entire time.
01:49:45.000Well, with the new studio, we're getting someone to come out and change some things.
01:49:51.000We have a very strict in-studio policy for a lot of reasons, but we may actually do, like, maybe once per month we'll open up for virtual, because there are people like Hasan Piker, who was willing to come on if we did a virtual thing, and potentially people like Steven Crowder if we do virtual, because these are both people who host their own shows.
01:53:00.000There's a YouTuber friend of mine who asked me a question about this, because we are both noting that when you go to the RNC, the men are all tall and thin.
01:53:08.000Not all, every single man, but they're tend to be chiseled and tall, and the women tend
01:59:03.000Natural eggs out of the chicken butt have a coating on it that usually the ones at the store are rubbed off and they could last for a long, long time.
