So for the last three and a half years, this
network has lost millions of dollars, millions
of households, thanks to censorship from big
tech, but also, and this is key guys, two members
of the house and four sitting United States senators
sent letters to all the satellite and cable carriers,
even our advertisers, saying we were purveyors
of missing disinformation and these companies
should reconsider doing business with us. We've
got a great guest today, Dan Ball, host of Real
America with Dan Ball and the Anchorman with
Dan Ball podcast. He's got a lot of opinions
on our topic, our favorite topic, which is cancellation
and censorship, and he's got his own journey
of cancellation. We'd love to dig in. Dan, welcome
to our show. It's great to meet you. Hey, guys.
How are you doing? Doing great. Thank you for
joining us today. Hey, thanks for the invite.
And anybody that wants to talk about getting
canceled and censorship, I'm down with that.
Because let me tell you what, the network I work
for, OAN, One America News, we know all too well
about being canceled or erased or censored. They've
been trying to do it for the last four or five
years. The reason why I'm so happy that you're
on your show is because you've got your cancellation
journey of your own and you've got a lot of thoughts
and opinions on the topic. Sort of like Alan
Dershowitz. We had Alan Dershowitz on our very
first episode. So he went through hell personally
in Martha's Vineyard and being accused falsely
by Jeffrey Epstein's, you know, accuser. Oh yeah,
I've had Alan on a few times to talk about how,
and you know, he's a liberal, he's a Democrat,
and they hate him. They have canceled him from
everywhere. I just saw him talking yesterday
or the day before about Harvard. never invites
him to anything anymore. And he's Harvard alum
and Professor Emeritus, I thought. And they have
nothing to do with him anymore because he spoke
truth about Donald Trump and other things. Oh,
no. Got to cancel people like that. And our Constitution.
He believes in our Constitution. Everybody has
a right to fair representation regardless. It's
funny how liberals these days don't, unless it
suits them. Right. Then they'll find a piece
of the Constitution or an article or a paragraph
or sentence in a certain article or amendment
and go, yeah, this we want to adhere to. But
most days I think they feel like they just throw
that beautiful piece of paper out the window.
A lot of hypocrisy in the air, that's for sure.
Yeah. Yeah. So take us back a little bit. You've
served our country as a as a as a in the army,
I believe. Air Force. Air Force. So, yeah. Take
us back to your beginnings. Yeah, I was in the
Air Force as a journalist. I went in back in
93. I did my just under four years because I'd
signed a four -year deal, but they were offering
early outs under the Clinton regime because we
were downsizing and closing bases and, in essence,
laying off troops. And so I did about three and
a half, actually, because they let me go early.
And I got into television right away as a photographer,
then a reporter, then a news anchor, then a news
director, ran a station for a bit. And I ran
for Congress in 2018 in Sonny and Mary Bono's
old seat in the Palm Springs, California area,
lost that bid for Congress and tried to get back
into local news because I had worked in Philadelphia,
Fresno, Palm Springs, Grand Rapids, a whole bunch
of different markets over a 30 year period after
I was a journalist in the Air Force. That's where
I got my journalism training, working for the
Armed Forces Radio Television Service. And while
I was trying to get a gig for about two and a
half years, nobody. would take me back because
they'd see the resume tape and the piece of paper
resume and go, oh, it looks good. You know, you
got all this experience. Your live reporting
looks great. Your anchoring's good. We're going
to do our background check or our due diligence
or do you have some references and we'll call
you back. No callbacks because all you had to
do in 2018, 19, 2020 for three years while I
was job hunting is look at my social media and
they're going to go, this guy ran as a Republican
and he's a Trump supporter. Yeah, we don't want
him on our news staff. I guarantee you, if I
was a registered Democrat and had voted for Biden
and other Democrats, I'm sure I would have got
a job back in local mainstream media news. Erased

God it didn't. Because in August of 2020, I got
a job here at OAN. I'm sitting in one of our
awesome studios in San Diego, California, where
One America News is based. And Mr. Robert Herring,
our boss, and his two boys, Charles and Bobby,
who started the network about 12 years ago, they're
here every day. I see the Herrings. I chat with
them. They're a great mom and pop, privately
held and owned news network. And so I got this
job in August. We went on the air September 14th,
2020, with my show, Real America. Within about
six, seven weeks, we were the highest rated show
on the network. Within about two months, President
Trump, while he was still in office, was tweeting
me and saying, you know, great show, people are
watching. Good job, Dan, DJT. And I was like,
holy, can I say shit? Holy shit. A sitting president
of the United States, and not just any sitting
president, DJT, just tweeted me. So that was
very cool in 2020. myself, Chanel Rion, Pearson
Sharp, other reporters and anchors and talk show
hosts. In 2020 and 2021, we covered the real
stories that matter. We covered the laptop and
told you it was real. In the summer of 2020,
we told you the election was rigged. We told
you that the COVID lockdown mandates from the
masks to the six feet of distancing were wrong
and made no damn sense. And then when the vaccine
came out in 21 under Biden, we told you the mRNA.
uh was bad for you when it came to um fruition
that it was causing myocarditis it was causing
problems with women's uh health we reported on
all that stuff and that's when the censoring
began in 2021 we got demonetized on youtube direct
tv took us down frontier verizon took us down
facebook instagram started uh shadow banning
us all this happened between 21 and 22. so for
the last three and a half years this network
has lost millions of dollars millions of households
thanks to censorship from big tech but also and
this is key guys and and david you can go look
this up two members of the house both democrats
issue and mccurney i think were their last names
and four sitting united states senators also
democrats and i forget all their names, but these
letters are on our website. Go to OANN .com.
These law -breaking, censoring, unconstitutional
lawmakers, I'll use that loosely, I'll call them
leftist activists. These six idiots sent letters
to all the satellite and cable carriers, even
our advertisers, saying we were purveyors of
misinformation and these companies should reconsider
doing business with us. That was the same timeframe.
When all of them then canceled us over a year
period, guys. Think about that. It's illegal.
Could they sue? Could you guys, could the network
sue for that? Because that's obvious. That's
obviously completely wrong. We've been sued so
much that I can't even. No, she's saying, can
you sue? No, I'm sure. I know that. I'm saying
we've been sued so much that I feel like our
owners have like a lawsuit hangover, lawsuit
fatigue. You know, we're hoping that members
of Congress now with GOP members in charge, and
we obviously are pushing this, launch an investigation
into what happened to OAN and go after the six
House and Senate members who sent those letters.
You know, I was on Tucker's show last May, and
I told this story to Tucker, and he just looked
at me and was baffled and was like, oh, I can't
believe this. This is illegal. Like, these people
should be in handcuffs. They should be in jail.
I'm like, I know. Sitting United States members
of our Congress. literally tell private entities,
get rid of a private media organization. Is this
China? Is this Russia? When you just said China,
I remember having a conversation with my husband
10 years ago, and I didn't understand even the
censorship in China. And he was teaching me,
yeah, this is what they do in China, blah, blah,
blah. It's like on TV. When a member of Congress
can get a cable carrier or an advertiser. to
stop doing business communism when they were
making money by the way they were making money
off of us our ratings in 2020 and 21 before they
canceled us we were beating in my show and other
primetime shows we were beating some of the fox
business shows we were beating newsmax we were
doing very very well And then they canceled us.
Now. So I want to go back with what I was saying
about China. So David was teaching me because,
again, you know, his oldest son was living in
China. And I was like, wow, that's so horrible.
I was completely blind and oblivious to that's
even possible in this country. So fast forward,
when they started doing this in 2021, I looked
at my husband and I go, how is this any different
than what they're doing in China? This is exactly
the same. My son, to his credit, was living in
Taiwan during COVID, which coincidentally was
maybe one of the best places in the world to
be because Taiwan shut their borders with China
almost like from day one. So it was super safe.
So he decided to stay there for a while and do
his schooling. He was at Tufts University while
he was there. And then as soon as he wasn't able
to do his remote schooling any longer, he came
back to the States and he's like, what is going
on here? It's like China here. Because he was
in a bubble over there. And he came back and
he saw it. He woke up is super cool because my
wife and I were awakened individuals, especially
what happened over the over. Yes, you're awake,
not woke. Big difference. And we didn't have
to teach him how to wake up. He came here and
he woke up like that because of where he had
been. He saw it was like America. He saw he had
more freedom in Taiwan than he did here in the
U .S. Well, I mean, yeah, Taiwan is pretty cool.
David, this is I mean, I'll be 51 this year.
I started being a journalist when I was 18 years
old when the military trained me. to be a journalist
so i've been doing this now 30 some years 33
my goodness this year um i've never seen this
in my lifetime this is so un -american it goes
against i mean there's a reason the guys in wigs
250 years ago put that little pesky amendment
right the first one first one that says speech
and press speak and press because they knew We
came from a tyrannical government. We came from
a monarchy. We were now giving power to the people
so that 99 % could not rule over one. Every voice
gets their own voice. And they thought it was
so important that every person have that free
speech and be able to air their grievances, right,
in the public square against their government.
That's why we have the right of speech, the press,
because the press needs to be free of the state,
and then the right to assemble in a public square
so we can... use that speech and have the press
report on our speech, airing that grievance with
our government. Those guys were pretty damn smart.
The founding fathers, I mean, I'm not a historian,
but I have such great appreciation for the people
who created our country. They thought of practically
everything. These guys were young. Go look up
their ages, by the way. Only, I think, was it
Adams was older in his 30s? I forget who it was.
I could be wrong. But most of these guys were
in their 20s and 30s. They were not old. We always
say our old founding fathers. They weren't old.
they were smart young rebels who were like screw
the crown great vision we love god this country
and we're going to make a constitutional republic
not a democracy a constitutional republic that
gives every damn american the right to say and
do whatever they want and the government shouldn't
get in our way and so let me fast forward this
happens in 21 22 we lose millions of households
because the contracts with all these carriers
then the advertisers start running And this place
was in trouble. And thanks to Mr. Herring and
the Herring family, they kept it together. Unfortunately,
we had to downsize a bit. But right now, here's
what's amazing. Since January this year, guys,
we got on Dish for the first time. We were never
on Dish before we were on Direct. We got on Dish.
We got on Sling TV just last week or week before.
We signed with Charter Spectrum. And I can't
say the other big carrier. but it's another big
one like Spectrum. That one might be coming in
the few weeks and probably 80, 90 % of new advertisers
returned. So they canceled us for three years.
Guess what? Liberals and Democrats and lefty
and big tech, all you censorers out there, we're
coming back and we're coming back in big and
better way at OAM. You know, we have a lot to
say. Okay, I want to say something first. I don't
know if you know our story, but... We were super,
super censored. We came out, mainly me, because
I have a big mouth, and spoke out against the
COVID shot. We own a school. I didn't want our
teachers to get the COVID shot. I didn't want
our kids to get the COVID shot. And boom, the
entire world tried to cancel us, including...
the Democrats in the state of Florida, including
the White House, Jen Psaki. What was her name?
Yeah, but Senator Academy. Do you recall this?
Yeah, we're going to have a stepchild, Jen Psaki.
I call her Chucky. So did I. I want to say this
part because it connects with them. It connects
with them. So when they tried to cancel us, this
was in about April, the end of April 2021. Now,
half of my teachers quit. They had already signed
contracts. Okay. They were like, basically because
of the media frenzy, my principals quit. I mean,
I was basically like in this, you know, building
alone and I had to figure out how to quickly
have interviews to find people who wanted to
come and work for a school that were aligned.
And your network was one of the networks that
interviewed me. Ah, yes. Your network was that,
was that, uh, Stefan? Because we had a Florida
bureau. I don't remember who it was, but it was
a Zoom. I was doing interviews nonstop. And in
fact, I did some interviews that were on Fox
that were supposed to be friendly, but they attacked
me as well. Yeah, because Fox is not the conservative
network that it used to be. When Rupert Murdoch
owned it years ago and ran it, it was conservative.
And Roger Ailes was there. Forget the sexual
harassment and the bad stuff Roger did, which
he did do. They were good news men and they were
conservative. Now that the boys have taken over
and Rupert is in charge emeritus, so he's in
the back, and the boys are in charge, the boys
are liberals. Their wives are Democrats. So everybody
thinks Fox News, they're patriotic and they're
conservative. No, no, they're not. Their boys
are Democrats. They held a fundraiser, James
did, at his mansion in New York for Biden before
he dropped out. Go look it up. What was the name
of the... Stuart Varney. I called him Varney
on the show. She was interviewed by Stuart Varney,
and you know how he's a fast guy. Oh, yeah. The
British guy on Fox Business. She does this great
interview with him, and she's like, I thought
that went pretty well. I'm like, you know, you
called him Varney like five times. His name is
Stuart. Well, I mean, Varney, I like last names.
If somebody says, hey, Ball, or Ballie, or Ballsy,
I like that better than Pan. Hey, Ballsy. Anyways,
my point in bringing this up is that your network
was amazing with me. And I even spoke at the
big show in OANN. What's his name? Clark? Clark
Show? I can't even remember right now. Anyways,
they were there. They even interviewed me in
person. So it was very friendly. Turning Point,
I've spoken a few times at Turning Point, and
they're always there. We have Charlie's Turning
Point people on all the time. I mean, it's really
been amazing. You know, my wife and I, my wife
works with me. She's my executive producer, my
booker. And getting into this movement, the America
First movement back in August of 2020 was probably
the best move of my life. And I'll tell you what,
I don't have any regrets. I stand by everything
I've said on this program and my convictions
and my beliefs. And so does the network. We didn't
apologize like other networks did. Wink, wink.
Let's see. It rhymes with Fox at the end, but
it's not Fox. It has an AX. Anyway, there's other
networks out there that apologized for their
election coverage, for their COVID coverage,
or for their laptop coverage. Guess what? We
didn't. And who was right? They told us the laptop
was not real for how many years? And the FBI
confirmed about a year or two ago. We told you
it was real in 2020. We said the election was
rigged. We said J6 was a setup. We never. Never
backed down on that one either. All this stuff
we didn't back down. And guess what? We've settled
most of the lawsuits that came at us. And we're
getting back on carriers. We're going to have
millions more households, I hope and think, than
we had before the censoring, the erasing. And
OAN is and will be a force to be reckoned with
when it comes to the mainstream media outlets
because we don't censor. We don't shy away. We
don't allow big pharma to dictate what we do
and say. Because if you watch my show, unlike
Good Morning America, every other segment in
the commercial break, you don't hear this portion
of Good Morning America sponsored by Pfizer.
I know. Yeah, you don't hear that on my show.
So I can tell you that mRNA is killing people,
is making women sterile, is making healthy 20
-year -olds have myocarditis. I can say that.
I can say. The laptop was real and Hunter is
a piece of shit. And they used, his daddy used
him to make the family rich. I can say, I believe
the election was rigged in so many different
ways from social media and media coverage to
the machines to mail -in ballots. I can say that.
I can say without a doubt by seeing the video
of Antifa and BLM people changing outfits and
radio and hand signals that J6 was a setup. I
can say all this stuff. And I will never, ever
back down because we see the proof. You know,
Dan, I think we all can agree we're very fortunate
with the new administration. But if it didn't
turn out this way, things would still be perpetuating
some of the really bad stuff that we've seen
over the past few years. And I'd still be speaking
truth to power, but we'd probably be arrested.
Like, seriously, we here had a big sigh of relief
in November because we were like, if she wins,
Are they going to come cuff us? I mean, I was
one of those parents going to the school board
meetings and raising holy hell during COVID.
And then when the tranny stuff started hitting,
I started going and talking about the transgender
crap because I have a 17 -year -old daughter.
And then what I do on my talk show here. And
now we launched this podcast a few months back
in January when Matt Gates came on board. And
we say even more on the podcast than the talk
shows because obviously podcasts are a little
different formatting and they go different places
than an over -the -air broadcast talk show. Yeah,
we thought we were in deep trouble. But it didn't
change how we broadcast. We weren't going to
change what we were telling you because we were
worried about a regime getting in power and censoring
us more or fining us or arresting us. They tried
all that. You know, that's what they're doing
in London. Yeah, they arrest people for a Facebook
post. Yes, they are going to their doors, arresting
them for a Facebook. And that's the UK. We're
not going to talk about China. Which provinces
up in Canada now made it where if you misgender
somebody in public, they can... Throw you in
jail for up to a year and a thousand dollar fine.
Oh, there's crazy stuff happening around this
globe with speech, just speech. Like, sticks
and stones, kids. What happened to sticks and
stones? They break my bones, but words will never
hurt me. How bad did it get? How low did it get?
So you're OAN and Lost Distribution, Verizon,
Fios, and DirecTV. Yep, YouTube. Herring stepped
up to the plate. God bless them. It was super
cool. But for you, how bad did it get? Did it
affect your family? Did it affect your relationships?
Did you lose friends and family along the way?
We like to go, Deep on this stuff. I lost hair.
I lost some hair. Seriously. Like, it was falling
out there for a while in the shower. I was freaking
out. I told the wife, I'm like, my hair, look
in the shower, look at my hair. She's like, why
are you so stressed? I'm like, all this crap.
Were you stressed? You were pretty stressed?
You know, when we first went on, I asked her,
I said, should I be myself? Because I'm a bit
much, as you can tell. I'm a little hyper. And
I just say, whatever the hell comes out, I have
no filter. And I think I have ADHD, but who gives
a shit? And so I'm like, should I be myself or
should I keep it more straight -laced? Because
I was a local news guy. I read the prompter.
Yes, I ad -libbed, but not with my own opinion.
Never. I just covered the news, and that's it,
like a journalist is supposed to. But when they
gave me an opinionated political talk show on
a conservative network, now I'm sitting there
the night before we went on, which was September
14, 2020, and I asked the wife, I go, should
I be myself? What do you think I should do? Because
I might be too much. And she's like, yes. Just
tell the truth. Just be yourself. And so, to
be honest, I didn't worry that much. I did stress
a bit with the lawsuits and, you know, because
we got sued by Dominion and Smartmatic for billions
of dollars and other lawsuits from people during
the election coverage and whatever. And my name
was mentioned. So I stressed a bit, but I knew
what we were doing was, one, important. Two,
it was the right thing to do. And it was the
facts. I'm sitting here going, how can I worry
or be wrong or stress too much when I'm standing
by my beliefs, my convictions, by the facts I
have found, and I'm speaking truth to power?
That's my job. So why would I stress about that?
And now, coming full circle, now that we went
through the hell and we're making a comeback,
I now see on the other side, we were right to
stay steadfast, to not waver. and to keep speaking
truth to power and to hell with the consequences.
And now an example for your kids too, you know,
to see that you stood for something. My daughter
was more liberal four or five years ago because
my ex is a school teacher. And she would get
tired of hearing me come home and bitch about
stuff. And then she found Charlie Kirk in TPSA
on TikTok. And about a year ago, she went, Dad,
I get what you're saying and doing. I'm like,
what do you mean? She goes, I've been watching
these Charlie Kirk videos. And these liberal
people are crazy and stupid at college campuses.
They're nuts. I go, yeah, kid. Now what? Now
what about dad? She goes, you were right. I'm
like, oh, thank God. My kid has been converted.
And dad didn't even do it. Charlie Kirk did it.
You know, we experienced the same thing. Of course,
we went, dropped from 280 kids down to 70. Now
we're at 340 kids. We voided millions of dollars
in contracts. And we came back stronger than
ever. So I'm a big believer in if you hold your
ground and you stay in integrity, it might hurt
for the moment. But in the long run, you're going
to come out stronger than ever. Listen, you can
take an old military, and depending on which
force, they say it different ways. But, you know,
like in the Corps and... and the Army and the
Air Force and Navy, lots of different ones. It's
God, honor, country. I'd throw in family in there.
As long as you're putting God and your family
and this country and you have honor, you'll get
through it all. It might be hard. There's going
to be some road bumps in life. It's hell. I get
it. But in the end, if you are true to yourself
and you put those things, and I would say almost
in that order, you got to put God first, your
family's up there, this country, and then just
have some damn integrity and honor, you'll be
just fine. What would you say got you through
it the most? Were you praying every day? Were
you meditating? Were you talking to, like for
us, I have a rabbi that I was talking to. I had
a monk that I was talking to. We have an amazing
church out here called Awaken Church. We go to
church a lot. We love our lead pastors, Juergen
and Leanne, who came to San Diego 25, 30 years
ago from Australia, of all places, with a dream
to bring God's word here. We just got married
in October down in Palm Beach at Mar -a -Lago.
And they flew down from San Diego to marry us,
which was amazing. So I would say going to church
a lot, just talking with my wife about it because
she works with me. So every day we could vent
to each other and complain about stuff. But yeah,
when I would get nervous and worry like, oh,
should I say this? Should I say that? Should
I do this? And then I'd just be like, screw it.
Do I know this to be true from what I've gathered?
Do I know this to be true? And do the people
need to hear it? well then why should i fear
it just say it yeah and so yeah i don't know
uh i like to shoot guns a lot that's actually
peaceful for me believe it or not um because
when you nail that target or that critter you
feel some pride and success in what you're doing
in your marksmanship so i love shooting um riding
my motorcycle that's my therapy too my wife and
i love writing if she doesn't go i'll just hop
on and go ride out through the mountainside of
San Diego. These examples are sort of forms of
meditation in a way because it requires you to
be completely present shooting or riding a motorcycle
if you're not fully present in the moment. And
we just bought a three -acre ranch a few months
ago and I just go home and I turn the phone off
and I go rake and cut trees and throw mulch and
rewire lighting and gates and fencing and I've
been doing that for the last three, four months
and I barely touch the phone because I'm just
doing... Simple work. And that keeps your mind
focused on that and nothing else. And so, yeah,
I'm not a big therapy guy. I'm an old school
dude. So I don't really talk to people about
my problems. So I just go, I do those things
and the hair stopped falling out. And matter
of fact, I got to go prep and get my show ready
or I'm going to be late. Okay. Maybe you could
educate me a little bit. You're a journalist
by training education. As I understand, a few
decades ago, there was a change that was made
that allowed publications to not just... Propaganda.
What was it? Propaganda. Obama signed it. It
used to be who, what, where, when, and why. And
then all of a sudden, a paper could have a position.
Yep. He removed a little phrasing that we had
in, I want to say, since the 40s that now allows
a media outlet to, and I believe the word in
the phrasing, And the verbiage is propaganda.
So propagandize. They can now have stuff that
is not factual based. Again, I remind my viewers
all the time, my show is an opinionated political
talk show on a conservative network. Does Jake
Tapper do that every night? Does Jen Psaki and
MSNBC do that? Hell no. They act like they're
journalists and everything out of their mouths
is the truth and a fact because they said it.
No, I tell people all the time, I read some of
the news first and I go, and that's a fact. And
then I'll go, just my humble opinion. I let the
viewers know where I'm coming from. Nobody does
that. Nobody does that. And if you're on it three
or four in the afternoon or noon, that's supposed
to be a newscast. Prime time after 7 p .m. on
the networks, those are opinionated talk shows.
So all those prime time people, those are opinionated
talk shows disguising themselves as journalists.
It's a bunch of bullshit. why can't uh you know
just like the government just like obama changed
it and made it worse why can't they fix it with
some laws that's a good question yeah it wasn't
an executive order i have to go back and look
i think congress might have changed it and then
he signed it so you'd have to get congress to
act for trump to sign it i don't think an ego
will do it yeah i feel like uh it's been a slippery
slope since that legislation was passed which
led to everybody taking a position in the interest
of getting eyeballs and then and then the internet
happened so all these titillating clickbait headlines
and it just sort of polarizes more and more and
then throw in social media on top of that to
make things even more polarized 98 of the media
outlets and the journalists working there and
the news directors running it and the editors
picking the content the producers are all liberal
-mindsetted people. Most people that go to college,
get that liberal arts or journalism, broadcast
journalism degree, are liberals. So then they
go work at the CNNs, the ABCs, NBC, CBS, all
that. So they're all liberal. And then your tech
people in Silicon Valley that created the social
media are liberal. So, you know, when you've
only got, and again, I'm not going to say Fox
and Newsmax, well, whatever. When you've only
got OAN and Right Side Broadcasting and Real
America's Voice. and Bannon out there and Charlie
out there and Benny out there, a handful of us
doing this, when 98 % of the legacy and mainstream
is all liberal, what do you expect? The country's
gonna be divided, the country's gonna be lied
to, and the news is gonna be skewed because even
good old Wolf Blitzer and the most trusted name
in news, CNN, they lie to people every damn night
or they skew or they omit or they just, you know,
they tweak the narrative the way they want it.
And they never tell you, oh, by the way, we're
tweaking this, we're turning this, we're omitting
this fact. No, they give it to you how they want
to give it to you. And then, especially older
folks who've been watching CNN for 35 years are
going to go, well, that has to be the truth.
Donald Trump must be a racist, homophobic, misogynistic,
xenophobic, blah, blah, blah, all the ists and
obias that they say every damn night because
they repeat it, repeat it, repeat it, and burn
it into the American conscious head, right? It
has to be true. The media is saying it, guys.
I think he needs to do an EO, even if it's temporary.
Just something needs to change. Ridiculous. I
agree. Well, turn it off. Stop watching that
crap. Watch independent news. Watch independent
podcasters like you guys. Stop watching legacy
media from a guy who's been doing it for 33 years
this summer. I'm telling you. I know most of
these people. They're freaking lying to you or
they're too scared to lose their paycheck to
tell you the truth. And I know this because I've
worked ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox. Yeah, I've worked
for all of those affiliates. OK, and tons of
different companies that own them over the years.
Next Star, Tribune, Comcast, O &O's owned and
operated. I'm telling you. And I know a lot of
the players behind the scenes that write the
copy that are producers and writers. I know a
bunch of the talent that are on air. And they're
either scared to say it or they believe it because
they're liberal or they just are clueless and
read the damn prompter. I call them prompter
jockeys. And they don't care that they're telling
you lies. So I know you don't have a lot of time
because you've got to go to your show. Yeah,
I've got to run. Sorry, guys. Last question for
you. For anybody watching this, and of course
the first thing is just stop watching that crap,
but is there anything they can do reaching out
to their politicians to help create change to
stop? the censorship because it's still happening
youtube is still censoring like crazy yeah oh
we know we just got back on youtube after like
three four years of being demonetized and every
time we upload one You know, our team sits there
and waits while it spins, waiting the seven,
eight, nine minutes to see if the video gets
accepted and uploaded. Because it might have
a word in there you can't say. You guys know,
right? You upload your podcast. It's already
in our new show. Yeah. See? There you go. They
use AI. They're using AI to screen it. It's a
computer, a robot. I said a word you can't say,
and I'm sorry if this one gets dinged. I said
the T word you can't say. Unless it's in positive
reinforcement. So, like, if I say... I fully
encourage that we should help people transition
in the transgender world. Then they'll let your
video stay. If I say the other way, I don't believe
in, and say that word, you're going to get dinged.
We posted a video with Dr. Robert McCullough,
who testified last week in front of the Senate
on the mRNA vaccine. causing issues with women
fertility and with myocarditis. I had the doc
on. We played the clip of his testimony. We reconfirmed
what the report says about the shot. Put it on
TikTok. Second strike. You do it again, we're
taking you guys off. It's a fact. He testified.
It's a report. It's government issued. And TikTok
warned us about putting facts up, guys. I'm sorry.
So, my advice, you blow up. your assemblymen
in your state houses, your congressmen and women
at the federal level, and the senators, and you
tell them to get Republicans and Speaker Johnson
to bring it to a vote where we can stop this
censorship of all voices. I don't even want liberal
voices censored. Nobody should be censored in
America, number one. Number two, I think, yeah,
there needs to be some sort of labeling on the
propaganda. and stop calling yourself media news
outlets. And if your show is an opinionated show,
make sure you label it as an opinionated show.
So people don't think, oh, I was watching a 5
p .m. newscast and then at 7 I watched this show
and I think on CNN both are newscasts. No. And
you can't do that anymore because the newscasts
are biased on those damn networks too. Great,
great points. Thank you, Dan. Thank you for your
time. Great guest. Really enjoyed your time.
