WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.160 So for the last three and a half years, this 00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:06.259 network has lost millions of dollars, millions 00:00:06.259 --> 00:00:09.919 of households, thanks to censorship from big 00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:13.419 tech, but also, and this is key guys, two members 00:00:13.419 --> 00:00:16.260 of the house and four sitting United States senators 00:00:16.260 --> 00:00:19.679 sent letters to all the satellite and cable carriers, 00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:22.559 even our advertisers, saying we were purveyors 00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:25.140 of missing disinformation and these companies 00:00:25.140 --> 00:00:39.939 should reconsider doing business with us. We've 00:00:39.939 --> 00:00:43.399 got a great guest today, Dan Ball, host of Real 00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:47.500 America with Dan Ball and the Anchorman with 00:00:47.500 --> 00:00:50.039 Dan Ball podcast. He's got a lot of opinions 00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:53.020 on our topic, our favorite topic, which is cancellation 00:00:53.020 --> 00:00:55.439 and censorship, and he's got his own journey 00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:59.000 of cancellation. We'd love to dig in. Dan, welcome 00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:01.859 to our show. It's great to meet you. Hey, guys. 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:03.939 How are you doing? Doing great. Thank you for 00:01:03.939 --> 00:01:06.390 joining us today. Hey, thanks for the invite. 00:01:06.609 --> 00:01:08.310 And anybody that wants to talk about getting 00:01:08.310 --> 00:01:11.069 canceled and censorship, I'm down with that. 00:01:11.150 --> 00:01:13.290 Because let me tell you what, the network I work 00:01:13.290 --> 00:01:16.430 for, OAN, One America News, we know all too well 00:01:16.430 --> 00:01:19.390 about being canceled or erased or censored. They've 00:01:19.390 --> 00:01:21.890 been trying to do it for the last four or five 00:01:21.890 --> 00:01:23.769 years. The reason why I'm so happy that you're 00:01:23.769 --> 00:01:25.709 on your show is because you've got your cancellation 00:01:25.709 --> 00:01:28.329 journey of your own and you've got a lot of thoughts 00:01:28.329 --> 00:01:29.969 and opinions on the topic. Sort of like Alan 00:01:29.969 --> 00:01:31.730 Dershowitz. We had Alan Dershowitz on our very 00:01:31.730 --> 00:01:35.150 first episode. So he went through hell personally 00:01:35.150 --> 00:01:37.469 in Martha's Vineyard and being accused falsely 00:01:37.469 --> 00:01:39.430 by Jeffrey Epstein's, you know, accuser. Oh yeah, 00:01:39.489 --> 00:01:42.250 I've had Alan on a few times to talk about how, 00:01:42.390 --> 00:01:44.590 and you know, he's a liberal, he's a Democrat, 00:01:44.829 --> 00:01:47.349 and they hate him. They have canceled him from 00:01:47.349 --> 00:01:49.950 everywhere. I just saw him talking yesterday 00:01:49.950 --> 00:01:52.769 or the day before about Harvard. never invites 00:01:52.769 --> 00:01:55.870 him to anything anymore. And he's Harvard alum 00:01:55.870 --> 00:01:59.829 and Professor Emeritus, I thought. And they have 00:01:59.829 --> 00:02:02.230 nothing to do with him anymore because he spoke 00:02:02.230 --> 00:02:05.890 truth about Donald Trump and other things. Oh, 00:02:06.090 --> 00:02:09.710 no. Got to cancel people like that. And our Constitution. 00:02:09.849 --> 00:02:13.750 He believes in our Constitution. Everybody has 00:02:13.750 --> 00:02:16.090 a right to fair representation regardless. It's 00:02:16.090 --> 00:02:19.009 funny how liberals these days don't, unless it 00:02:19.009 --> 00:02:21.280 suits them. Right. Then they'll find a piece 00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:23.879 of the Constitution or an article or a paragraph 00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:25.780 or sentence in a certain article or amendment 00:02:25.780 --> 00:02:28.460 and go, yeah, this we want to adhere to. But 00:02:28.460 --> 00:02:30.919 most days I think they feel like they just throw 00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:32.780 that beautiful piece of paper out the window. 00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:35.199 A lot of hypocrisy in the air, that's for sure. 00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:38.680 Yeah. Yeah. So take us back a little bit. You've 00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:42.000 served our country as a as a as a in the army, 00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:46.240 I believe. Air Force. Air Force. So, yeah. Take 00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.370 us back to your beginnings. Yeah, I was in the 00:02:49.370 --> 00:02:51.770 Air Force as a journalist. I went in back in 00:02:51.770 --> 00:02:56.169 93. I did my just under four years because I'd 00:02:56.169 --> 00:02:57.509 signed a four -year deal, but they were offering 00:02:57.509 --> 00:03:01.050 early outs under the Clinton regime because we 00:03:01.050 --> 00:03:04.289 were downsizing and closing bases and, in essence, 00:03:04.389 --> 00:03:07.689 laying off troops. And so I did about three and 00:03:07.689 --> 00:03:09.430 a half, actually, because they let me go early. 00:03:09.830 --> 00:03:12.409 And I got into television right away as a photographer, 00:03:12.590 --> 00:03:15.509 then a reporter, then a news anchor, then a news 00:03:15.509 --> 00:03:18.569 director, ran a station for a bit. And I ran 00:03:18.569 --> 00:03:21.810 for Congress in 2018 in Sonny and Mary Bono's 00:03:21.810 --> 00:03:23.550 old seat in the Palm Springs, California area, 00:03:23.689 --> 00:03:26.870 lost that bid for Congress and tried to get back 00:03:26.870 --> 00:03:30.050 into local news because I had worked in Philadelphia, 00:03:30.490 --> 00:03:33.110 Fresno, Palm Springs, Grand Rapids, a whole bunch 00:03:33.110 --> 00:03:35.110 of different markets over a 30 year period after 00:03:35.110 --> 00:03:36.889 I was a journalist in the Air Force. That's where 00:03:36.889 --> 00:03:39.830 I got my journalism training, working for the 00:03:39.830 --> 00:03:42.210 Armed Forces Radio Television Service. And while 00:03:42.210 --> 00:03:43.949 I was trying to get a gig for about two and a 00:03:43.949 --> 00:03:46.580 half years, nobody. would take me back because 00:03:46.580 --> 00:03:50.460 they'd see the resume tape and the piece of paper 00:03:50.460 --> 00:03:52.460 resume and go, oh, it looks good. You know, you 00:03:52.460 --> 00:03:54.180 got all this experience. Your live reporting 00:03:54.180 --> 00:03:56.300 looks great. Your anchoring's good. We're going 00:03:56.300 --> 00:03:58.520 to do our background check or our due diligence 00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.060 or do you have some references and we'll call 00:04:01.060 --> 00:04:04.159 you back. No callbacks because all you had to 00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:07.419 do in 2018, 19, 2020 for three years while I 00:04:07.419 --> 00:04:09.719 was job hunting is look at my social media and 00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:11.780 they're going to go, this guy ran as a Republican 00:04:11.780 --> 00:04:13.680 and he's a Trump supporter. Yeah, we don't want 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:17.610 him on our news staff. I guarantee you, if I 00:04:17.610 --> 00:04:21.829 was a registered Democrat and had voted for Biden 00:04:21.829 --> 00:04:24.569 and other Democrats, I'm sure I would have got 00:04:24.569 --> 00:04:40.949 a job back in local mainstream media news.

Because in August of 2020, I got 00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:12.639 a job here at OAN. I'm sitting in one of our 00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.079 awesome studios in San Diego, California, where 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:19.160 One America News is based. And Mr. Robert Herring, 00:05:19.220 --> 00:05:22.240 our boss, and his two boys, Charles and Bobby, 00:05:22.339 --> 00:05:26.060 who started the network about 12 years ago, they're 00:05:26.060 --> 00:05:28.040 here every day. I see the Herrings. I chat with 00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:31.439 them. They're a great mom and pop, privately 00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:34.639 held and owned news network. And so I got this 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:37.540 job in August. We went on the air September 14th, 00:05:37.540 --> 00:05:40.399 2020, with my show, Real America. Within about 00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:42.779 six, seven weeks, we were the highest rated show 00:05:42.779 --> 00:05:46.180 on the network. Within about two months, President 00:05:46.180 --> 00:05:48.199 Trump, while he was still in office, was tweeting 00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:50.639 me and saying, you know, great show, people are 00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:52.819 watching. Good job, Dan, DJT. And I was like, 00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:59.579 holy, can I say shit? Holy shit. A sitting president 00:05:59.579 --> 00:06:01.199 of the United States, and not just any sitting 00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:04.720 president, DJT, just tweeted me. So that was 00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:10.680 very cool in 2020. myself, Chanel Rion, Pearson 00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:13.920 Sharp, other reporters and anchors and talk show 00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:17.680 hosts. In 2020 and 2021, we covered the real 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:20.019 stories that matter. We covered the laptop and 00:06:20.019 --> 00:06:22.379 told you it was real. In the summer of 2020, 00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.639 we told you the election was rigged. We told 00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:27.980 you that the COVID lockdown mandates from the 00:06:27.980 --> 00:06:30.939 masks to the six feet of distancing were wrong 00:06:30.939 --> 00:06:33.360 and made no damn sense. And then when the vaccine 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:35.899 came out in 21 under Biden, we told you the mRNA. 00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:41.459 uh was bad for you when it came to um fruition 00:06:41.459 --> 00:06:44.639 that it was causing myocarditis it was causing 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:47.899 problems with women's uh health we reported on 00:06:47.899 --> 00:06:50.480 all that stuff and that's when the censoring 00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:55.620 began in 2021 we got demonetized on youtube direct 00:06:55.620 --> 00:06:59.399 tv took us down frontier verizon took us down 00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:03.060 facebook instagram started uh shadow banning 00:07:03.060 --> 00:07:07.170 us all this happened between 21 and 22. so for 00:07:07.170 --> 00:07:10.430 the last three and a half years this network 00:07:10.430 --> 00:07:13.709 has lost millions of dollars millions of households 00:07:13.709 --> 00:07:18.410 thanks to censorship from big tech but also and 00:07:18.410 --> 00:07:21.170 this is key guys and and david you can go look 00:07:21.170 --> 00:07:24.829 this up two members of the house both democrats 00:07:24.829 --> 00:07:27.329 issue and mccurney i think were their last names 00:07:27.329 --> 00:07:29.769 and four sitting united states senators also 00:07:29.769 --> 00:07:32.649 democrats and i forget all their names, but these 00:07:32.649 --> 00:07:35.329 letters are on our website. Go to OANN .com. 00:07:35.689 --> 00:07:41.310 These law -breaking, censoring, unconstitutional 00:07:41.310 --> 00:07:44.569 lawmakers, I'll use that loosely, I'll call them 00:07:44.569 --> 00:07:47.910 leftist activists. These six idiots sent letters 00:07:47.910 --> 00:07:50.769 to all the satellite and cable carriers, even 00:07:50.769 --> 00:07:53.449 our advertisers, saying we were purveyors of 00:07:53.449 --> 00:07:56.550 misinformation and these companies should reconsider 00:07:56.550 --> 00:08:00.189 doing business with us. That was the same timeframe. 00:08:00.860 --> 00:08:03.019 When all of them then canceled us over a year 00:08:03.019 --> 00:08:06.740 period, guys. Think about that. It's illegal. 00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:10.579 Could they sue? Could you guys, could the network 00:08:10.579 --> 00:08:13.519 sue for that? Because that's obvious. That's 00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:17.660 obviously completely wrong. We've been sued so 00:08:17.660 --> 00:08:20.560 much that I can't even. No, she's saying, can 00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:23.279 you sue? No, I'm sure. I know that. I'm saying 00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:26.040 we've been sued so much that I feel like our 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:29.480 owners have like a lawsuit hangover, lawsuit 00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:32.340 fatigue. You know, we're hoping that members 00:08:32.340 --> 00:08:35.539 of Congress now with GOP members in charge, and 00:08:35.539 --> 00:08:37.799 we obviously are pushing this, launch an investigation 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:41.559 into what happened to OAN and go after the six 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:44.639 House and Senate members who sent those letters. 00:08:44.740 --> 00:08:47.080 You know, I was on Tucker's show last May, and 00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:48.659 I told this story to Tucker, and he just looked 00:08:48.659 --> 00:08:51.259 at me and was baffled and was like, oh, I can't 00:08:51.259 --> 00:08:53.539 believe this. This is illegal. Like, these people 00:08:53.539 --> 00:08:54.960 should be in handcuffs. They should be in jail. 00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:58.100 I'm like, I know. Sitting United States members 00:08:58.100 --> 00:09:01.039 of our Congress. literally tell private entities, 00:09:01.220 --> 00:09:04.840 get rid of a private media organization. Is this 00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:08.120 China? Is this Russia? When you just said China, 00:09:08.220 --> 00:09:11.299 I remember having a conversation with my husband 00:09:11.299 --> 00:09:14.679 10 years ago, and I didn't understand even the 00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:16.700 censorship in China. And he was teaching me, 00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:18.539 yeah, this is what they do in China, blah, blah, 00:09:18.580 --> 00:09:22.740 blah. It's like on TV. When a member of Congress 00:09:22.740 --> 00:09:26.059 can get a cable carrier or an advertiser. to 00:09:26.059 --> 00:09:28.740 stop doing business communism when they were 00:09:28.740 --> 00:09:30.700 making money by the way they were making money 00:09:30.700 --> 00:09:33.299 off of us our ratings in 2020 and 21 before they 00:09:33.299 --> 00:09:36.220 canceled us we were beating in my show and other 00:09:36.220 --> 00:09:38.139 primetime shows we were beating some of the fox 00:09:38.139 --> 00:09:41.019 business shows we were beating newsmax we were 00:09:41.019 --> 00:09:44.360 doing very very well And then they canceled us. 00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:46.639 Now. So I want to go back with what I was saying 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:48.980 about China. So David was teaching me because, 00:09:49.019 --> 00:09:52.100 again, you know, his oldest son was living in 00:09:52.100 --> 00:09:54.159 China. And I was like, wow, that's so horrible. 00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.059 I was completely blind and oblivious to that's 00:09:58.059 --> 00:10:01.279 even possible in this country. So fast forward, 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.940 when they started doing this in 2021, I looked 00:10:03.940 --> 00:10:06.379 at my husband and I go, how is this any different 00:10:06.379 --> 00:10:08.870 than what they're doing in China? This is exactly 00:10:08.870 --> 00:10:11.850 the same. My son, to his credit, was living in 00:10:11.850 --> 00:10:14.889 Taiwan during COVID, which coincidentally was 00:10:14.889 --> 00:10:16.309 maybe one of the best places in the world to 00:10:16.309 --> 00:10:18.450 be because Taiwan shut their borders with China 00:10:18.450 --> 00:10:20.590 almost like from day one. So it was super safe. 00:10:20.710 --> 00:10:22.730 So he decided to stay there for a while and do 00:10:22.730 --> 00:10:24.970 his schooling. He was at Tufts University while 00:10:24.970 --> 00:10:28.110 he was there. And then as soon as he wasn't able 00:10:28.110 --> 00:10:30.029 to do his remote schooling any longer, he came 00:10:30.029 --> 00:10:31.610 back to the States and he's like, what is going 00:10:31.610 --> 00:10:33.690 on here? It's like China here. Because he was 00:10:33.690 --> 00:10:35.950 in a bubble over there. And he came back and 00:10:35.950 --> 00:10:39.399 he saw it. He woke up is super cool because my 00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:42.200 wife and I were awakened individuals, especially 00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:44.559 what happened over the over. Yes, you're awake, 00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:48.379 not woke. Big difference. And we didn't have 00:10:48.379 --> 00:10:50.659 to teach him how to wake up. He came here and 00:10:50.659 --> 00:10:52.320 he woke up like that because of where he had 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:54.980 been. He saw it was like America. He saw he had 00:10:54.980 --> 00:10:57.139 more freedom in Taiwan than he did here in the 00:10:57.139 --> 00:10:59.539 U .S. Well, I mean, yeah, Taiwan is pretty cool. 00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:02.679 David, this is I mean, I'll be 51 this year. 00:11:02.779 --> 00:11:05.320 I started being a journalist when I was 18 years 00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:08.399 old when the military trained me. to be a journalist 00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:11.740 so i've been doing this now 30 some years 33 00:11:11.740 --> 00:11:15.120 my goodness this year um i've never seen this 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:18.379 in my lifetime this is so un -american it goes 00:11:18.379 --> 00:11:21.960 against i mean there's a reason the guys in wigs 00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:25.399 250 years ago put that little pesky amendment 00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:28.019 right the first one first one that says speech 00:11:28.019 --> 00:11:32.649 and press speak and press because they knew We 00:11:32.649 --> 00:11:35.230 came from a tyrannical government. We came from 00:11:35.230 --> 00:11:37.929 a monarchy. We were now giving power to the people 00:11:37.929 --> 00:11:42.169 so that 99 % could not rule over one. Every voice 00:11:42.169 --> 00:11:43.629 gets their own voice. And they thought it was 00:11:43.629 --> 00:11:46.590 so important that every person have that free 00:11:46.590 --> 00:11:49.850 speech and be able to air their grievances, right, 00:11:49.929 --> 00:11:53.049 in the public square against their government. 00:11:53.110 --> 00:11:55.309 That's why we have the right of speech, the press, 00:11:55.529 --> 00:11:57.470 because the press needs to be free of the state, 00:11:57.610 --> 00:11:59.970 and then the right to assemble in a public square 00:11:59.970 --> 00:12:03.350 so we can... use that speech and have the press 00:12:03.350 --> 00:12:06.230 report on our speech, airing that grievance with 00:12:06.230 --> 00:12:07.990 our government. Those guys were pretty damn smart. 00:12:08.149 --> 00:12:10.629 The founding fathers, I mean, I'm not a historian, 00:12:10.750 --> 00:12:13.389 but I have such great appreciation for the people 00:12:13.389 --> 00:12:16.230 who created our country. They thought of practically 00:12:16.230 --> 00:12:18.929 everything. These guys were young. Go look up 00:12:18.929 --> 00:12:21.070 their ages, by the way. Only, I think, was it 00:12:21.070 --> 00:12:23.730 Adams was older in his 30s? I forget who it was. 00:12:23.750 --> 00:12:25.370 I could be wrong. But most of these guys were 00:12:25.370 --> 00:12:27.669 in their 20s and 30s. They were not old. We always 00:12:27.669 --> 00:12:29.289 say our old founding fathers. They weren't old. 00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:33.000 they were smart young rebels who were like screw 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:35.919 the crown great vision we love god this country 00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:38.100 and we're going to make a constitutional republic 00:12:38.100 --> 00:12:41.759 not a democracy a constitutional republic that 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:45.799 gives every damn american the right to say and 00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:48.759 do whatever they want and the government shouldn't 00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:51.720 get in our way and so let me fast forward this 00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:54.879 happens in 21 22 we lose millions of households 00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:56.440 because the contracts with all these carriers 00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:59.250 then the advertisers start running And this place 00:12:59.250 --> 00:13:02.929 was in trouble. And thanks to Mr. Herring and 00:13:02.929 --> 00:13:05.809 the Herring family, they kept it together. Unfortunately, 00:13:05.809 --> 00:13:08.049 we had to downsize a bit. But right now, here's 00:13:08.049 --> 00:13:10.549 what's amazing. Since January this year, guys, 00:13:10.750 --> 00:13:13.909 we got on Dish for the first time. We were never 00:13:13.909 --> 00:13:16.110 on Dish before we were on Direct. We got on Dish. 00:13:16.250 --> 00:13:19.350 We got on Sling TV just last week or week before. 00:13:19.409 --> 00:13:23.610 We signed with Charter Spectrum. And I can't 00:13:23.610 --> 00:13:25.870 say the other big carrier. but it's another big 00:13:25.870 --> 00:13:28.070 one like Spectrum. That one might be coming in 00:13:28.070 --> 00:13:31.590 the few weeks and probably 80, 90 % of new advertisers 00:13:31.590 --> 00:13:36.250 returned. So they canceled us for three years. 00:13:36.750 --> 00:13:39.970 Guess what? Liberals and Democrats and lefty 00:13:39.970 --> 00:13:43.570 and big tech, all you censorers out there, we're 00:13:43.570 --> 00:13:46.190 coming back and we're coming back in big and 00:13:46.190 --> 00:13:49.889 better way at OAM. You know, we have a lot to 00:13:49.889 --> 00:13:51.990 say. Okay, I want to say something first. I don't 00:13:51.990 --> 00:13:55.590 know if you know our story, but... We were super, 00:13:55.669 --> 00:13:58.950 super censored. We came out, mainly me, because 00:13:58.950 --> 00:14:03.429 I have a big mouth, and spoke out against the 00:14:03.429 --> 00:14:06.830 COVID shot. We own a school. I didn't want our 00:14:06.830 --> 00:14:09.350 teachers to get the COVID shot. I didn't want 00:14:09.350 --> 00:14:11.830 our kids to get the COVID shot. And boom, the 00:14:11.830 --> 00:14:15.590 entire world tried to cancel us, including... 00:14:16.869 --> 00:14:20.070 the Democrats in the state of Florida, including 00:14:20.070 --> 00:14:23.190 the White House, Jen Psaki. What was her name? 00:14:23.250 --> 00:14:25.350 Yeah, but Senator Academy. Do you recall this? 00:14:25.389 --> 00:14:27.429 Yeah, we're going to have a stepchild, Jen Psaki. 00:14:27.629 --> 00:14:31.370 I call her Chucky. So did I. I want to say this 00:14:31.370 --> 00:14:34.870 part because it connects with them. It connects 00:14:34.870 --> 00:14:39.289 with them. So when they tried to cancel us, this 00:14:39.289 --> 00:14:42.289 was in about April, the end of April 2021. Now, 00:14:42.309 --> 00:14:46.649 half of my teachers quit. They had already signed 00:14:46.649 --> 00:14:50.070 contracts. Okay. They were like, basically because 00:14:50.070 --> 00:14:52.529 of the media frenzy, my principals quit. I mean, 00:14:52.529 --> 00:14:55.309 I was basically like in this, you know, building 00:14:55.309 --> 00:14:59.490 alone and I had to figure out how to quickly 00:14:59.490 --> 00:15:04.090 have interviews to find people who wanted to 00:15:04.090 --> 00:15:05.830 come and work for a school that were aligned. 00:15:06.169 --> 00:15:08.610 And your network was one of the networks that 00:15:08.610 --> 00:15:13.129 interviewed me. Ah, yes. Your network was that, 00:15:13.169 --> 00:15:15.639 was that, uh, Stefan? Because we had a Florida 00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:17.960 bureau. I don't remember who it was, but it was 00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:21.759 a Zoom. I was doing interviews nonstop. And in 00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:24.720 fact, I did some interviews that were on Fox 00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:27.179 that were supposed to be friendly, but they attacked 00:15:27.179 --> 00:15:31.200 me as well. Yeah, because Fox is not the conservative 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:35.139 network that it used to be. When Rupert Murdoch 00:15:35.139 --> 00:15:38.860 owned it years ago and ran it, it was conservative. 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:41.840 And Roger Ailes was there. Forget the sexual 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:43.559 harassment and the bad stuff Roger did, which 00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:46.309 he did do. They were good news men and they were 00:15:46.309 --> 00:15:48.629 conservative. Now that the boys have taken over 00:15:48.629 --> 00:15:51.289 and Rupert is in charge emeritus, so he's in 00:15:51.289 --> 00:15:54.129 the back, and the boys are in charge, the boys 00:15:54.129 --> 00:15:56.629 are liberals. Their wives are Democrats. So everybody 00:15:56.629 --> 00:15:59.370 thinks Fox News, they're patriotic and they're 00:15:59.370 --> 00:16:02.429 conservative. No, no, they're not. Their boys 00:16:02.429 --> 00:16:05.389 are Democrats. They held a fundraiser, James 00:16:05.389 --> 00:16:08.029 did, at his mansion in New York for Biden before 00:16:08.029 --> 00:16:10.820 he dropped out. Go look it up. What was the name 00:16:10.820 --> 00:16:13.240 of the... Stuart Varney. I called him Varney 00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:15.639 on the show. She was interviewed by Stuart Varney, 00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:17.779 and you know how he's a fast guy. Oh, yeah. The 00:16:17.779 --> 00:16:19.539 British guy on Fox Business. She does this great 00:16:19.539 --> 00:16:22.860 interview with him, and she's like, I thought 00:16:22.860 --> 00:16:24.779 that went pretty well. I'm like, you know, you 00:16:24.779 --> 00:16:26.919 called him Varney like five times. His name is 00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:32.379 Stuart. Well, I mean, Varney, I like last names. 00:16:32.419 --> 00:16:34.799 If somebody says, hey, Ball, or Ballie, or Ballsy, 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:38.629 I like that better than Pan. Hey, Ballsy. Anyways, 00:16:38.690 --> 00:16:40.929 my point in bringing this up is that your network 00:16:40.929 --> 00:16:45.669 was amazing with me. And I even spoke at the 00:16:45.669 --> 00:16:50.909 big show in OANN. What's his name? Clark? Clark 00:16:50.909 --> 00:16:54.029 Show? I can't even remember right now. Anyways, 00:16:54.230 --> 00:16:56.070 they were there. They even interviewed me in 00:16:56.070 --> 00:17:00.110 person. So it was very friendly. Turning Point, 00:17:00.289 --> 00:17:02.289 I've spoken a few times at Turning Point, and 00:17:02.289 --> 00:17:04.150 they're always there. We have Charlie's Turning 00:17:04.150 --> 00:17:06.900 Point people on all the time. I mean, it's really 00:17:06.900 --> 00:17:08.960 been amazing. You know, my wife and I, my wife 00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:10.940 works with me. She's my executive producer, my 00:17:10.940 --> 00:17:15.039 booker. And getting into this movement, the America 00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:19.220 First movement back in August of 2020 was probably 00:17:19.220 --> 00:17:21.339 the best move of my life. And I'll tell you what, 00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:24.980 I don't have any regrets. I stand by everything 00:17:24.980 --> 00:17:27.200 I've said on this program and my convictions 00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:30.240 and my beliefs. And so does the network. We didn't 00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:34.539 apologize like other networks did. Wink, wink. 00:17:35.220 --> 00:17:37.619 Let's see. It rhymes with Fox at the end, but 00:17:37.619 --> 00:17:42.680 it's not Fox. It has an AX. Anyway, there's other 00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:45.400 networks out there that apologized for their 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:47.920 election coverage, for their COVID coverage, 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:50.460 or for their laptop coverage. Guess what? We 00:17:50.460 --> 00:17:53.420 didn't. And who was right? They told us the laptop 00:17:53.420 --> 00:17:56.200 was not real for how many years? And the FBI 00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:58.299 confirmed about a year or two ago. We told you 00:17:58.299 --> 00:18:00.480 it was real in 2020. We said the election was 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:03.809 rigged. We said J6 was a setup. We never. Never 00:18:03.809 --> 00:18:05.890 backed down on that one either. All this stuff 00:18:05.890 --> 00:18:08.609 we didn't back down. And guess what? We've settled 00:18:08.609 --> 00:18:13.190 most of the lawsuits that came at us. And we're 00:18:13.190 --> 00:18:14.690 getting back on carriers. We're going to have 00:18:14.690 --> 00:18:16.430 millions more households, I hope and think, than 00:18:16.430 --> 00:18:20.089 we had before the censoring, the erasing. And 00:18:20.089 --> 00:18:24.890 OAN is and will be a force to be reckoned with 00:18:24.890 --> 00:18:27.009 when it comes to the mainstream media outlets 00:18:27.009 --> 00:18:31.680 because we don't censor. We don't shy away. We 00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:34.880 don't allow big pharma to dictate what we do 00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:38.140 and say. Because if you watch my show, unlike 00:18:38.140 --> 00:18:40.880 Good Morning America, every other segment in 00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:43.880 the commercial break, you don't hear this portion 00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:47.519 of Good Morning America sponsored by Pfizer. 00:18:47.940 --> 00:18:49.720 I know. Yeah, you don't hear that on my show. 00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:53.259 So I can tell you that mRNA is killing people, 00:18:53.380 --> 00:18:56.319 is making women sterile, is making healthy 20 00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:58.299 -year -olds have myocarditis. I can say that. 00:18:58.319 --> 00:19:01.279 I can say. The laptop was real and Hunter is 00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:05.140 a piece of shit. And they used, his daddy used 00:19:05.140 --> 00:19:08.500 him to make the family rich. I can say, I believe 00:19:08.500 --> 00:19:10.019 the election was rigged in so many different 00:19:10.019 --> 00:19:12.180 ways from social media and media coverage to 00:19:12.180 --> 00:19:15.299 the machines to mail -in ballots. I can say that. 00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:18.539 I can say without a doubt by seeing the video 00:19:18.539 --> 00:19:21.880 of Antifa and BLM people changing outfits and 00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:25.339 radio and hand signals that J6 was a setup. I 00:19:25.339 --> 00:19:28.279 can say all this stuff. And I will never, ever 00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:32.619 back down because we see the proof. You know, 00:19:32.619 --> 00:19:35.900 Dan, I think we all can agree we're very fortunate 00:19:35.900 --> 00:19:40.519 with the new administration. But if it didn't 00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:44.640 turn out this way, things would still be perpetuating 00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:47.240 some of the really bad stuff that we've seen 00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:48.799 over the past few years. And I'd still be speaking 00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:50.519 truth to power, but we'd probably be arrested. 00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:53.779 Like, seriously, we here had a big sigh of relief 00:19:53.779 --> 00:19:56.160 in November because we were like, if she wins, 00:19:56.779 --> 00:19:59.400 Are they going to come cuff us? I mean, I was 00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:00.759 one of those parents going to the school board 00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:02.240 meetings and raising holy hell during COVID. 00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:04.319 And then when the tranny stuff started hitting, 00:20:04.380 --> 00:20:06.079 I started going and talking about the transgender 00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:07.680 crap because I have a 17 -year -old daughter. 00:20:08.140 --> 00:20:10.519 And then what I do on my talk show here. And 00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:12.339 now we launched this podcast a few months back 00:20:12.339 --> 00:20:14.079 in January when Matt Gates came on board. And 00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:16.500 we say even more on the podcast than the talk 00:20:16.500 --> 00:20:18.539 shows because obviously podcasts are a little 00:20:18.539 --> 00:20:20.920 different formatting and they go different places 00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:24.680 than an over -the -air broadcast talk show. Yeah, 00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:26.720 we thought we were in deep trouble. But it didn't 00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:28.900 change how we broadcast. We weren't going to 00:20:28.900 --> 00:20:31.119 change what we were telling you because we were 00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:34.299 worried about a regime getting in power and censoring 00:20:34.299 --> 00:20:37.019 us more or fining us or arresting us. They tried 00:20:37.019 --> 00:20:39.000 all that. You know, that's what they're doing 00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:42.319 in London. Yeah, they arrest people for a Facebook 00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:46.099 post. Yes, they are going to their doors, arresting 00:20:46.099 --> 00:20:49.700 them for a Facebook. And that's the UK. We're 00:20:49.700 --> 00:20:51.240 not going to talk about China. Which provinces 00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:53.940 up in Canada now made it where if you misgender 00:20:53.940 --> 00:20:55.809 somebody in public, they can... Throw you in 00:20:55.809 --> 00:20:57.690 jail for up to a year and a thousand dollar fine. 00:20:58.309 --> 00:21:00.349 Oh, there's crazy stuff happening around this 00:21:00.349 --> 00:21:04.640 globe with speech, just speech. Like, sticks 00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:06.799 and stones, kids. What happened to sticks and 00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:09.019 stones? They break my bones, but words will never 00:21:09.019 --> 00:21:12.200 hurt me. How bad did it get? How low did it get? 00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:17.720 So you're OAN and Lost Distribution, Verizon, 00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:22.619 Fios, and DirecTV. Yep, YouTube. Herring stepped 00:21:22.619 --> 00:21:24.319 up to the plate. God bless them. It was super 00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:26.859 cool. But for you, how bad did it get? Did it 00:21:26.859 --> 00:21:29.980 affect your family? Did it affect your relationships? 00:21:30.299 --> 00:21:32.019 Did you lose friends and family along the way? 00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:34.589 We like to go, Deep on this stuff. I lost hair. 00:21:35.269 --> 00:21:38.809 I lost some hair. Seriously. Like, it was falling 00:21:38.809 --> 00:21:40.369 out there for a while in the shower. I was freaking 00:21:40.369 --> 00:21:42.410 out. I told the wife, I'm like, my hair, look 00:21:42.410 --> 00:21:43.930 in the shower, look at my hair. She's like, why 00:21:43.930 --> 00:21:45.450 are you so stressed? I'm like, all this crap. 00:21:45.750 --> 00:21:47.890 Were you stressed? You were pretty stressed? 00:21:48.769 --> 00:21:51.569 You know, when we first went on, I asked her, 00:21:51.670 --> 00:21:54.990 I said, should I be myself? Because I'm a bit 00:21:54.990 --> 00:21:57.250 much, as you can tell. I'm a little hyper. And 00:21:57.250 --> 00:21:58.650 I just say, whatever the hell comes out, I have 00:21:58.650 --> 00:22:01.549 no filter. And I think I have ADHD, but who gives 00:22:01.549 --> 00:22:05.759 a shit? And so I'm like, should I be myself or 00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:08.220 should I keep it more straight -laced? Because 00:22:08.220 --> 00:22:10.240 I was a local news guy. I read the prompter. 00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:12.259 Yes, I ad -libbed, but not with my own opinion. 00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:15.319 Never. I just covered the news, and that's it, 00:22:15.339 --> 00:22:17.559 like a journalist is supposed to. But when they 00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:19.420 gave me an opinionated political talk show on 00:22:19.420 --> 00:22:21.400 a conservative network, now I'm sitting there 00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:23.799 the night before we went on, which was September 00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:26.099 14, 2020, and I asked the wife, I go, should 00:22:26.099 --> 00:22:28.440 I be myself? What do you think I should do? Because 00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:31.630 I might be too much. And she's like, yes. Just 00:22:31.630 --> 00:22:34.809 tell the truth. Just be yourself. And so, to 00:22:34.809 --> 00:22:36.910 be honest, I didn't worry that much. I did stress 00:22:36.910 --> 00:22:39.470 a bit with the lawsuits and, you know, because 00:22:39.470 --> 00:22:41.789 we got sued by Dominion and Smartmatic for billions 00:22:41.789 --> 00:22:44.069 of dollars and other lawsuits from people during 00:22:44.069 --> 00:22:46.509 the election coverage and whatever. And my name 00:22:46.509 --> 00:22:49.529 was mentioned. So I stressed a bit, but I knew 00:22:49.529 --> 00:22:51.990 what we were doing was, one, important. Two, 00:22:52.109 --> 00:22:54.750 it was the right thing to do. And it was the 00:22:54.750 --> 00:22:59.039 facts. I'm sitting here going, how can I worry 00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:02.619 or be wrong or stress too much when I'm standing 00:23:02.619 --> 00:23:05.440 by my beliefs, my convictions, by the facts I 00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:08.140 have found, and I'm speaking truth to power? 00:23:08.299 --> 00:23:11.240 That's my job. So why would I stress about that? 00:23:11.339 --> 00:23:13.740 And now, coming full circle, now that we went 00:23:13.740 --> 00:23:15.140 through the hell and we're making a comeback, 00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:19.859 I now see on the other side, we were right to 00:23:19.859 --> 00:23:23.660 stay steadfast, to not waver. and to keep speaking 00:23:23.660 --> 00:23:25.980 truth to power and to hell with the consequences. 00:23:26.299 --> 00:23:28.759 And now an example for your kids too, you know, 00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:30.440 to see that you stood for something. My daughter 00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:32.920 was more liberal four or five years ago because 00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:35.819 my ex is a school teacher. And she would get 00:23:35.819 --> 00:23:37.500 tired of hearing me come home and bitch about 00:23:37.500 --> 00:23:41.119 stuff. And then she found Charlie Kirk in TPSA 00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:43.980 on TikTok. And about a year ago, she went, Dad, 00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:46.339 I get what you're saying and doing. I'm like, 00:23:46.380 --> 00:23:47.779 what do you mean? She goes, I've been watching 00:23:47.779 --> 00:23:49.980 these Charlie Kirk videos. And these liberal 00:23:49.980 --> 00:23:52.720 people are crazy and stupid at college campuses. 00:23:53.119 --> 00:23:56.460 They're nuts. I go, yeah, kid. Now what? Now 00:23:56.460 --> 00:23:59.339 what about dad? She goes, you were right. I'm 00:23:59.339 --> 00:24:01.960 like, oh, thank God. My kid has been converted. 00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:04.799 And dad didn't even do it. Charlie Kirk did it. 00:24:05.160 --> 00:24:08.880 You know, we experienced the same thing. Of course, 00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:13.099 we went, dropped from 280 kids down to 70. Now 00:24:13.099 --> 00:24:16.599 we're at 340 kids. We voided millions of dollars 00:24:16.599 --> 00:24:20.140 in contracts. And we came back stronger than 00:24:20.140 --> 00:24:24.500 ever. So I'm a big believer in if you hold your 00:24:24.500 --> 00:24:28.000 ground and you stay in integrity, it might hurt 00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:31.059 for the moment. But in the long run, you're going 00:24:31.059 --> 00:24:34.440 to come out stronger than ever. Listen, you can 00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:36.539 take an old military, and depending on which 00:24:36.539 --> 00:24:38.599 force, they say it different ways. But, you know, 00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:41.200 like in the Corps and... and the Army and the 00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:42.720 Air Force and Navy, lots of different ones. It's 00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:44.779 God, honor, country. I'd throw in family in there. 00:24:44.940 --> 00:24:47.720 As long as you're putting God and your family 00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:51.619 and this country and you have honor, you'll get 00:24:51.619 --> 00:24:54.099 through it all. It might be hard. There's going 00:24:54.099 --> 00:24:56.079 to be some road bumps in life. It's hell. I get 00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:59.480 it. But in the end, if you are true to yourself 00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:01.500 and you put those things, and I would say almost 00:25:01.500 --> 00:25:03.240 in that order, you got to put God first, your 00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:05.200 family's up there, this country, and then just 00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:09.019 have some damn integrity and honor, you'll be 00:25:09.019 --> 00:25:11.869 just fine. What would you say got you through 00:25:11.869 --> 00:25:14.589 it the most? Were you praying every day? Were 00:25:14.589 --> 00:25:18.869 you meditating? Were you talking to, like for 00:25:18.869 --> 00:25:21.450 us, I have a rabbi that I was talking to. I had 00:25:21.450 --> 00:25:23.650 a monk that I was talking to. We have an amazing 00:25:23.650 --> 00:25:27.430 church out here called Awaken Church. We go to 00:25:27.430 --> 00:25:30.369 church a lot. We love our lead pastors, Juergen 00:25:30.369 --> 00:25:33.130 and Leanne, who came to San Diego 25, 30 years 00:25:33.130 --> 00:25:34.990 ago from Australia, of all places, with a dream 00:25:34.990 --> 00:25:39.359 to bring God's word here. We just got married 00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:41.339 in October down in Palm Beach at Mar -a -Lago. 00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:44.180 And they flew down from San Diego to marry us, 00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:46.319 which was amazing. So I would say going to church 00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:48.079 a lot, just talking with my wife about it because 00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:49.660 she works with me. So every day we could vent 00:25:49.660 --> 00:25:54.059 to each other and complain about stuff. But yeah, 00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:55.940 when I would get nervous and worry like, oh, 00:25:56.059 --> 00:25:57.920 should I say this? Should I say that? Should 00:25:57.920 --> 00:26:00.859 I do this? And then I'd just be like, screw it. 00:26:01.200 --> 00:26:04.279 Do I know this to be true from what I've gathered? 00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:07.380 Do I know this to be true? And do the people 00:26:07.380 --> 00:26:09.240 need to hear it? well then why should i fear 00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:13.279 it just say it yeah and so yeah i don't know 00:26:13.279 --> 00:26:15.920 uh i like to shoot guns a lot that's actually 00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:19.299 peaceful for me believe it or not um because 00:26:19.299 --> 00:26:23.140 when you nail that target or that critter you 00:26:23.140 --> 00:26:25.400 feel some pride and success in what you're doing 00:26:25.400 --> 00:26:30.000 in your marksmanship so i love shooting um riding 00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:32.539 my motorcycle that's my therapy too my wife and 00:26:32.539 --> 00:26:34.019 i love writing if she doesn't go i'll just hop 00:26:34.019 --> 00:26:37.619 on and go ride out through the mountainside of 00:26:37.619 --> 00:26:40.200 San Diego. These examples are sort of forms of 00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:42.779 meditation in a way because it requires you to 00:26:42.779 --> 00:26:45.720 be completely present shooting or riding a motorcycle 00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:48.460 if you're not fully present in the moment. And 00:26:48.460 --> 00:26:49.599 we just bought a three -acre ranch a few months 00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:51.539 ago and I just go home and I turn the phone off 00:26:51.539 --> 00:26:56.700 and I go rake and cut trees and throw mulch and 00:26:56.700 --> 00:26:59.599 rewire lighting and gates and fencing and I've 00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:00.759 been doing that for the last three, four months 00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:03.980 and I barely touch the phone because I'm just 00:27:03.980 --> 00:27:06.789 doing... Simple work. And that keeps your mind 00:27:06.789 --> 00:27:09.490 focused on that and nothing else. And so, yeah, 00:27:09.589 --> 00:27:12.769 I'm not a big therapy guy. I'm an old school 00:27:12.769 --> 00:27:14.250 dude. So I don't really talk to people about 00:27:14.250 --> 00:27:17.470 my problems. So I just go, I do those things 00:27:17.470 --> 00:27:21.150 and the hair stopped falling out. And matter 00:27:21.150 --> 00:27:23.069 of fact, I got to go prep and get my show ready 00:27:23.069 --> 00:27:26.529 or I'm going to be late. Okay. Maybe you could 00:27:26.529 --> 00:27:28.089 educate me a little bit. You're a journalist 00:27:28.089 --> 00:27:32.019 by training education. As I understand, a few 00:27:32.019 --> 00:27:34.279 decades ago, there was a change that was made 00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:38.599 that allowed publications to not just... Propaganda. 00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:42.319 What was it? Propaganda. Obama signed it. It 00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:45.740 used to be who, what, where, when, and why. And 00:27:45.740 --> 00:27:48.059 then all of a sudden, a paper could have a position. 00:27:48.740 --> 00:27:52.339 Yep. He removed a little phrasing that we had 00:27:52.339 --> 00:27:55.259 in, I want to say, since the 40s that now allows 00:27:55.259 --> 00:27:58.420 a media outlet to, and I believe the word in 00:27:58.420 --> 00:28:00.910 the phrasing, And the verbiage is propaganda. 00:28:01.230 --> 00:28:04.049 So propagandize. They can now have stuff that 00:28:04.049 --> 00:28:06.609 is not factual based. Again, I remind my viewers 00:28:06.609 --> 00:28:10.329 all the time, my show is an opinionated political 00:28:10.329 --> 00:28:13.890 talk show on a conservative network. Does Jake 00:28:13.890 --> 00:28:15.630 Tapper do that every night? Does Jen Psaki and 00:28:15.630 --> 00:28:18.410 MSNBC do that? Hell no. They act like they're 00:28:18.410 --> 00:28:20.809 journalists and everything out of their mouths 00:28:20.809 --> 00:28:23.730 is the truth and a fact because they said it. 00:28:23.809 --> 00:28:26.529 No, I tell people all the time, I read some of 00:28:26.529 --> 00:28:28.670 the news first and I go, and that's a fact. And 00:28:28.670 --> 00:28:31.549 then I'll go, just my humble opinion. I let the 00:28:31.549 --> 00:28:34.349 viewers know where I'm coming from. Nobody does 00:28:34.349 --> 00:28:37.329 that. Nobody does that. And if you're on it three 00:28:37.329 --> 00:28:40.089 or four in the afternoon or noon, that's supposed 00:28:40.089 --> 00:28:42.990 to be a newscast. Prime time after 7 p .m. on 00:28:42.990 --> 00:28:44.990 the networks, those are opinionated talk shows. 00:28:45.190 --> 00:28:47.910 So all those prime time people, those are opinionated 00:28:47.910 --> 00:28:50.390 talk shows disguising themselves as journalists. 00:28:50.650 --> 00:28:53.940 It's a bunch of bullshit. why can't uh you know 00:28:53.940 --> 00:28:56.279 just like the government just like obama changed 00:28:56.279 --> 00:28:59.339 it and made it worse why can't they fix it with 00:28:59.339 --> 00:29:04.000 some laws that's a good question yeah it wasn't 00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:05.740 an executive order i have to go back and look 00:29:05.740 --> 00:29:07.559 i think congress might have changed it and then 00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:09.220 he signed it so you'd have to get congress to 00:29:09.220 --> 00:29:11.519 act for trump to sign it i don't think an ego 00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:15.400 will do it yeah i feel like uh it's been a slippery 00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:18.160 slope since that legislation was passed which 00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:20.000 led to everybody taking a position in the interest 00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:22.740 of getting eyeballs and then and then the internet 00:29:22.740 --> 00:29:26.160 happened so all these titillating clickbait headlines 00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:28.720 and it just sort of polarizes more and more and 00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:30.940 then throw in social media on top of that to 00:29:30.940 --> 00:29:35.339 make things even more polarized 98 of the media 00:29:35.339 --> 00:29:37.740 outlets and the journalists working there and 00:29:37.740 --> 00:29:39.779 the news directors running it and the editors 00:29:39.779 --> 00:29:42.339 picking the content the producers are all liberal 00:29:42.339 --> 00:29:44.759 -mindsetted people. Most people that go to college, 00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:47.339 get that liberal arts or journalism, broadcast 00:29:47.339 --> 00:29:50.539 journalism degree, are liberals. So then they 00:29:50.539 --> 00:29:53.400 go work at the CNNs, the ABCs, NBC, CBS, all 00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:56.019 that. So they're all liberal. And then your tech 00:29:56.019 --> 00:29:57.880 people in Silicon Valley that created the social 00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:01.019 media are liberal. So, you know, when you've 00:30:01.019 --> 00:30:02.799 only got, and again, I'm not going to say Fox 00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:04.960 and Newsmax, well, whatever. When you've only 00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:07.740 got OAN and Right Side Broadcasting and Real 00:30:07.740 --> 00:30:10.890 America's Voice. and Bannon out there and Charlie 00:30:10.890 --> 00:30:13.410 out there and Benny out there, a handful of us 00:30:13.410 --> 00:30:17.730 doing this, when 98 % of the legacy and mainstream 00:30:17.730 --> 00:30:21.009 is all liberal, what do you expect? The country's 00:30:21.009 --> 00:30:22.309 gonna be divided, the country's gonna be lied 00:30:22.309 --> 00:30:25.930 to, and the news is gonna be skewed because even 00:30:25.930 --> 00:30:28.450 good old Wolf Blitzer and the most trusted name 00:30:28.450 --> 00:30:31.470 in news, CNN, they lie to people every damn night 00:30:31.470 --> 00:30:35.029 or they skew or they omit or they just, you know, 00:30:35.069 --> 00:30:37.230 they tweak the narrative the way they want it. 00:30:37.660 --> 00:30:40.460 And they never tell you, oh, by the way, we're 00:30:40.460 --> 00:30:42.240 tweaking this, we're turning this, we're omitting 00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:45.559 this fact. No, they give it to you how they want 00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:47.720 to give it to you. And then, especially older 00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:50.339 folks who've been watching CNN for 35 years are 00:30:50.339 --> 00:30:52.160 going to go, well, that has to be the truth. 00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:55.799 Donald Trump must be a racist, homophobic, misogynistic, 00:30:56.019 --> 00:30:57.720 xenophobic, blah, blah, blah, all the ists and 00:30:57.720 --> 00:30:59.660 obias that they say every damn night because 00:30:59.660 --> 00:31:02.279 they repeat it, repeat it, repeat it, and burn 00:31:02.279 --> 00:31:04.559 it into the American conscious head, right? It 00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:08.039 has to be true. The media is saying it, guys. 00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:11.440 I think he needs to do an EO, even if it's temporary. 00:31:11.819 --> 00:31:16.480 Just something needs to change. Ridiculous. I 00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:19.380 agree. Well, turn it off. Stop watching that 00:31:19.380 --> 00:31:22.259 crap. Watch independent news. Watch independent 00:31:22.259 --> 00:31:26.359 podcasters like you guys. Stop watching legacy 00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:29.839 media from a guy who's been doing it for 33 years 00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:33.319 this summer. I'm telling you. I know most of 00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:36.130 these people. They're freaking lying to you or 00:31:36.130 --> 00:31:38.210 they're too scared to lose their paycheck to 00:31:38.210 --> 00:31:41.230 tell you the truth. And I know this because I've 00:31:41.230 --> 00:31:46.710 worked ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox. Yeah, I've worked 00:31:46.710 --> 00:31:49.950 for all of those affiliates. OK, and tons of 00:31:49.950 --> 00:31:51.829 different companies that own them over the years. 00:31:51.950 --> 00:31:56.210 Next Star, Tribune, Comcast, O &O's owned and 00:31:56.210 --> 00:31:58.650 operated. I'm telling you. And I know a lot of 00:31:58.650 --> 00:32:00.230 the players behind the scenes that write the 00:32:00.230 --> 00:32:02.210 copy that are producers and writers. I know a 00:32:02.210 --> 00:32:04.740 bunch of the talent that are on air. And they're 00:32:04.740 --> 00:32:07.539 either scared to say it or they believe it because 00:32:07.539 --> 00:32:10.400 they're liberal or they just are clueless and 00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:11.859 read the damn prompter. I call them prompter 00:32:11.859 --> 00:32:14.059 jockeys. And they don't care that they're telling 00:32:14.059 --> 00:32:16.299 you lies. So I know you don't have a lot of time 00:32:16.299 --> 00:32:17.240 because you've got to go to your show. Yeah, 00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:19.039 I've got to run. Sorry, guys. Last question for 00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:22.940 you. For anybody watching this, and of course 00:32:22.940 --> 00:32:24.759 the first thing is just stop watching that crap, 00:32:24.980 --> 00:32:27.579 but is there anything they can do reaching out 00:32:27.579 --> 00:32:29.859 to their politicians to help create change to 00:32:29.859 --> 00:32:32.390 stop? the censorship because it's still happening 00:32:32.390 --> 00:32:35.490 youtube is still censoring like crazy yeah oh 00:32:35.490 --> 00:32:38.210 we know we just got back on youtube after like 00:32:38.210 --> 00:32:40.710 three four years of being demonetized and every 00:32:40.710 --> 00:32:43.089 time we upload one You know, our team sits there 00:32:43.089 --> 00:32:45.569 and waits while it spins, waiting the seven, 00:32:45.710 --> 00:32:47.089 eight, nine minutes to see if the video gets 00:32:47.089 --> 00:32:48.869 accepted and uploaded. Because it might have 00:32:48.869 --> 00:32:50.910 a word in there you can't say. You guys know, 00:32:50.950 --> 00:32:52.750 right? You upload your podcast. It's already 00:32:52.750 --> 00:32:55.750 in our new show. Yeah. See? There you go. They 00:32:55.750 --> 00:32:58.369 use AI. They're using AI to screen it. It's a 00:32:58.369 --> 00:33:01.089 computer, a robot. I said a word you can't say, 00:33:01.150 --> 00:33:03.049 and I'm sorry if this one gets dinged. I said 00:33:03.049 --> 00:33:05.970 the T word you can't say. Unless it's in positive 00:33:05.970 --> 00:33:09.670 reinforcement. So, like, if I say... I fully 00:33:09.670 --> 00:33:11.950 encourage that we should help people transition 00:33:11.950 --> 00:33:14.529 in the transgender world. Then they'll let your 00:33:14.529 --> 00:33:18.049 video stay. If I say the other way, I don't believe 00:33:18.049 --> 00:33:21.549 in, and say that word, you're going to get dinged. 00:33:22.170 --> 00:33:25.569 We posted a video with Dr. Robert McCullough, 00:33:25.609 --> 00:33:29.250 who testified last week in front of the Senate 00:33:29.250 --> 00:33:32.380 on the mRNA vaccine. causing issues with women 00:33:32.380 --> 00:33:34.819 fertility and with myocarditis. I had the doc 00:33:34.819 --> 00:33:37.740 on. We played the clip of his testimony. We reconfirmed 00:33:37.740 --> 00:33:40.660 what the report says about the shot. Put it on 00:33:40.660 --> 00:33:43.940 TikTok. Second strike. You do it again, we're 00:33:43.940 --> 00:33:47.079 taking you guys off. It's a fact. He testified. 00:33:47.220 --> 00:33:50.079 It's a report. It's government issued. And TikTok 00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:54.220 warned us about putting facts up, guys. I'm sorry. 00:33:54.380 --> 00:33:58.869 So, my advice, you blow up. your assemblymen 00:33:58.869 --> 00:34:00.549 in your state houses, your congressmen and women 00:34:00.549 --> 00:34:02.750 at the federal level, and the senators, and you 00:34:02.750 --> 00:34:05.849 tell them to get Republicans and Speaker Johnson 00:34:05.849 --> 00:34:09.449 to bring it to a vote where we can stop this 00:34:09.449 --> 00:34:12.070 censorship of all voices. I don't even want liberal 00:34:12.070 --> 00:34:14.610 voices censored. Nobody should be censored in 00:34:14.610 --> 00:34:18.210 America, number one. Number two, I think, yeah, 00:34:18.230 --> 00:34:19.590 there needs to be some sort of labeling on the 00:34:19.590 --> 00:34:22.239 propaganda. and stop calling yourself media news 00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:25.179 outlets. And if your show is an opinionated show, 00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:27.500 make sure you label it as an opinionated show. 00:34:27.619 --> 00:34:30.460 So people don't think, oh, I was watching a 5 00:34:30.460 --> 00:34:33.340 p .m. newscast and then at 7 I watched this show 00:34:33.340 --> 00:34:37.579 and I think on CNN both are newscasts. No. And 00:34:37.579 --> 00:34:39.980 you can't do that anymore because the newscasts 00:34:39.980 --> 00:34:43.010 are biased on those damn networks too. Great, 00:34:43.010 --> 00:34:44.949 great points. Thank you, Dan. Thank you for your 00:34:44.949 --> 00:34:47.070 time. Great guest.
