00:00:00.000 So in the next few minutes, I want to make a case to why you ought to go on a media detox
00:00:25.640 and cleanse your mind, your soul, your spirit with all the garbage media has fed us the last three, four months.
00:00:32.240 But before doing so, I want to share with you a tweet.
00:00:34.740 I tweeted this out a couple of days ago and I said,
00:00:37.300 First, the media used COVID-19 to scare the hell out of us so we would stay home,
00:00:41.860 cost 45 million people their jobs, many businesses out of business.
00:00:46.760 Stats are saying 50% of restaurants are not going to open up again.
00:00:50.620 Trillions of dollars of stimulus costing taxpayers money.
00:00:53.880 So we got scared. They used COVID-19.
00:00:56.280 Then as COVID-19 started slowing down cases, the next thing they did is they used a tragic event to divide America.
00:01:03.980 And everybody were like debating, Oh, you can't say this.
00:01:06.620 So you can't say, Oh, black love.
00:01:07.920 You can't all lives.
00:01:08.580 You can't say something like that.
00:01:09.980 Boom! Everybody clashes and they're happy because they're getting more eyeballs.
00:01:13.900 So phase number one was use COVID-19 for us to stay home.
00:01:16.540 Phase number two is use a tragic event to divide America.
00:01:20.560 What's phase number three?
00:01:21.360 Use this tragic event and go support your cause and protest, protest.
00:01:27.340 You ought to go do it.
00:01:28.520 And people went out to protesting.
00:01:29.880 What happened to social distancing?
00:01:31.840 And then when everything calmed down, right after they told everybody to protest,
00:01:36.880 then they said, Oh, Oh, Oh, there's a spike coming up.
00:01:39.900 And people got to be very careful because walk, watch, watch, watch, stay home.
00:01:44.660 You should stay home.
00:01:45.800 No, you shouldn't go out.
00:01:46.620 Wait a minute.
00:01:47.080 You just told me to protest.
00:01:48.320 Now you want me to stay home.
00:01:49.260 Matter of fact, here's a tweet by NBC News shows you the hypocrisy, the hypocrisy of media.
00:01:56.200 This is two hours apart of a tweet that went out.
00:01:58.820 So first, NBC News sends out a tweet saying rally for black trans lives, draw a packed crowd to Brooklyn Museum Plaza.
00:02:06.960 And you see tens of thousands of people lined up and they're protesting.
00:02:11.280 And NBC News is fully endorsing it, right?
00:02:14.060 Two hours later, President Trump plans to rally his supporters next Saturday for the first time since most of the country was shuttered by coronavirus.
00:02:21.560 But health experts are questioning that decision.
00:02:25.260 Are you kidding me?
00:02:26.020 Two hours, the level of hypocrisy, two hours apart.
00:02:29.420 First, you're supporting a protesting.
00:02:31.540 Then you're saying no because it doesn't match your narrative.
00:02:34.540 So are you really journalists?
00:02:35.780 Because when I look at the definition of journalism, there's three things journalists have to do.
00:02:39.900 One is a verification, meaning data, correct data that you give, that there is some credence behind the data.
00:02:46.280 You're not just making the stuff up.
00:02:47.500 Number two is independence, meaning you're not imposing your opinions.
00:02:51.780 You're an independent opinion.
00:02:53.180 Here's, we're stating the facts.
00:02:54.480 This is what's going on.
00:02:55.580 And then last, if you're wrong, you're held accountable.
00:02:57.960 That's what they call themselves as journalists.
00:02:59.980 Those three things.
00:03:00.880 Number one, it's not about data today.
00:03:02.840 Number two, there is no independent today.
00:03:05.140 It's, I'm giving you my opinion.
00:03:06.540 Now last but not least, where is the accountability?
00:03:09.120 Who's gotten fired lately?
00:03:10.680 You tell me the last journalist that got fired.
00:03:12.880 These so-called journalists today are at best activists.
00:03:16.920 Some of them are clowns.
00:03:18.140 Some of them are puppets.
00:03:19.360 And some of them are purely entertainers.
00:03:21.040 Now, let me not make everybody be in that side because there's a lot of them that are good.
00:03:25.120 But most of them today are not journalists anymore.
00:03:27.600 So why am I sharing this with you?
00:03:29.060 Here's why I'm sharing this with you.
00:03:30.700 Why have a media detox?
00:03:32.460 Listen, I've been on a media detox for a good four weeks.
00:03:36.260 I don't watch the news when I go home anymore.
00:03:38.180 I don't turn on CNN.
00:03:39.300 I don't turn on Fox.
00:03:40.200 I don't, every single time I read stuff, I no longer watch this stuff because they're
00:03:45.380 going to sell me their emotions on what I need to be doing.
00:03:47.620 I don't do it.
00:03:48.320 I get stuff that I get on social media because I'm on it on a daily basis.
00:03:51.640 I'm not doing nothing related with TV and this is why.
00:03:54.980 Here's why.
00:03:55.440 You ought to make this consideration for yourself.
00:03:58.200 Look, in my business, I have a lot of issues that I face.
00:04:03.200 Meaning people come up with a lot of different problems.
00:04:05.180 I run a company, we have attorneys, lawyers, challenges, cases, clients, many different
00:04:11.080 things in the financial industry.
00:04:12.680 And typically anybody that has a conflict with another person, when this person comes
00:04:16.320 to me, here's what they always say.
00:04:18.860 They always say what this person did wrong.
00:04:21.780 They don't say what they did wrong.
00:04:23.460 They always start off with, you know what he did?
00:04:25.140 Here's what he did.
00:04:25.840 He said this.
00:04:26.520 He said that.
00:04:27.040 And you're like, oh my gosh, no way.
00:04:28.580 Yes, that's what he said.
00:04:29.840 That's what he said.
00:04:30.420 That's crazy.
00:04:31.240 And I used to at first get rattled because to read about what this person said, okay.
00:04:35.500 Then this person comes.
00:04:36.620 What do you think they say?
00:04:37.420 Do you know what they did?
00:04:38.200 This person said this.
00:04:39.120 And then they said this.
00:04:39.940 And then they said this.
00:04:40.920 Now you're getting rattled.
00:04:42.400 Couples come up to you.
00:04:43.380 You know, let me tell you what my husband did.
00:04:45.220 Here's what my husband did.
00:04:46.300 Here's what my husband did.
00:04:47.580 Then the wife comes.
00:04:49.040 Let me tell you what my wife did.
00:04:50.380 Here's what my wife did.
00:04:51.400 There's always only the argument that validates their argument.
00:04:55.180 What the other person did wrong to validate your argument.
00:04:57.580 That's exactly what media is doing.
00:04:59.600 Our kids do this to their parents all the time.
00:05:02.600 You will not believe what my brother did.
00:05:04.440 What did you do?
00:05:05.060 Yesterday I'm talking to my son.
00:05:06.720 And I get a letter from school from one of his teachers.
00:05:09.100 And this, you know, he was kicking people all day at school.
00:05:11.200 So I said, so tell me what happened yesterday.
00:05:13.180 Nothing.
00:05:14.280 I thought you kicked the kid in school.
00:05:16.320 Did you kick somebody in school?
00:05:17.600 No, I don't remember.
00:05:18.500 You don't remember?
00:05:19.300 No, I don't remember.
00:05:20.380 I said, you know what I don't remember?
00:05:21.520 What don't you remember?
00:05:22.600 I said, I don't remember that I bought you a Lego to give you.
00:05:24.700 You know you remembered you bought the Lego yesterday.
00:05:27.020 I said, you went to school yesterday.
00:05:29.300 What do you mean you don't remember why you kicked this kid?
00:05:32.620 I said, if you forgot why you kicked the kid, I forgot why I bought the Lego for you.
00:05:37.600 Then he says, I just remembered.
00:05:38.920 I said, what did you just remember?
00:05:40.500 And then he tells me the story.
00:05:42.040 The media has turned into my six-year-old son.
00:05:45.100 That's what they're doing.
00:05:46.180 They're only giving you the story that makes their argument stronger.
00:05:50.980 Not the whole thing.
00:05:51.620 They will literally, if the video plays for a minute, 20 seconds, tells the whole story.
00:05:56.240 They will only play 37 seconds, but it's the 37 seconds that validates that argument.
00:06:01.460 It's not journalism.
00:06:02.500 That's called entertainment.
00:06:04.240 90% of all journalists must step down and become pundits.
00:06:08.960 You know what's the difference between a journalist and a pundit?
00:06:11.020 Here's the difference.
00:06:12.660 A journalist reports.
00:06:14.420 They verify.
00:06:15.420 Okay.
00:06:15.960 They're independent.
00:06:17.000 Here's the date on both sides.
00:06:18.960 You make the decision for yourself.
00:06:20.280 And they're held accountable if they screwed up.
00:06:22.460 Yesterday, reporting we did was wrong.
00:06:24.160 And if somebody screws up too much, they get fired.
00:06:26.160 When's the last time somebody got fired?
00:06:27.860 The only reason journalists are getting fired is because of sexual harassment.
00:06:31.200 Not because of what they did wrong.
00:06:32.320 You don't see a lot of journalists getting fired at MSNBC, CNN, or Fox.
00:06:35.520 When's the last time somebody got fired?
00:06:37.460 I don't see it.
00:06:38.320 Why?
00:06:38.780 There is zero accountability.
00:06:40.340 Now, I also don't have a problem with a lot of these journalists saying, you know,
00:06:43.180 honestly, I am not a journalist.
00:06:44.720 I'm a pundit.
00:06:45.900 I will come on the other end and work for CNN, Fox, and MSNBC.
00:06:49.240 And I just want to give you my opinion on what's going on with the current situation.
00:06:52.540 But I'm no longer a journalist because, quite frankly, I can't do it anymore.
00:06:55.480 Now, I'll respect the media.
00:06:57.260 But as of today, journalists are not journalists.
00:07:00.060 They're entertainers, activists, puppets, and clowns at its best.
00:07:05.900 Ninety percent of them.
00:07:07.080 There's some of them that are doing a good job.
00:07:09.020 And they are dividing America in ways that words cannot describe.
00:07:12.120 My suggestion to you, go on a media detox.
00:07:15.420 Maybe don't do it for a month.
00:07:16.840 Try for a week.
00:07:17.860 For one week, tell yourself, I'm not watching any news.
00:07:21.980 I will read only.
00:07:23.480 But for one month, I'm not watching any news.
00:07:27.080 And if you're in for this challenge to go on a media detox, go on Twitter, tweet at me.
00:07:32.160 Use the hashtag media detox.
00:07:33.360 Or go on Instagram and don't even use my handle.
00:07:36.400 Just put, I'm going on a media detox.
00:07:39.000 And challenge your friends and peers to go on it with you.
00:07:42.520 And watch what happens to your spirit.
00:07:44.800 How it cleanses all the agitation, the frustration that you're experiencing.
00:07:49.700 Because, quite frankly, somebody called me in Hollywood who's a good name.
00:07:54.480 He doesn't have all the money yet in Hollywood.
00:07:56.140 But he told me, he says, I am afraid to share my real opinions because I'm going to get crushed.
00:08:00.280 I said, go make your money first.
00:08:03.340 Make your money.
00:08:04.160 Many of you are watching this right now getting caught up in all these issues that are going on in the marketplace.
00:08:09.280 And your bank account's only $73,000.
00:08:11.820 Your bank account's only $22,000.
00:08:14.260 Go make your money so that you can say whatever you want to say.
00:08:17.600 And don't let these media people distract the hell out of you where your dreams don't become a reality.
00:08:21.980 And all their dreams are becoming a reality.
00:08:23.860 They go to fancy restaurants.
00:08:25.360 They go to fancy parties.
00:08:26.800 They go all these other places.
00:08:27.860 They go take their one-month vacation around the world.
00:08:30.280 How about you?
00:08:31.340 How about it happening to you?
00:08:33.060 You are their customer.
00:08:34.380 They're not your customer.
00:08:35.280 Make them your customer.
00:08:36.380 That's what you ought to be doing.
00:08:37.200 That's how I think about this myself.
00:08:38.900 So again, my challenge to you.
00:08:40.200 If you have the courage.
00:08:41.840 If you have the courage.
00:08:43.200 And I made my case to you.
00:08:44.880 Where you said, Pat, make some sense.
00:08:47.380 Go on a media detox.
00:08:49.240 And watch what happens one week later.
00:08:51.040 Thanks, everybody, for listening.
