Episode 39: Why the Media Owes Us All an Apology

called will thank you for joining that. While with Giano calls out. Today is a very special day because I want to talk to you directly about what's going on in our country. As you all, I'm sure are aware, we've been living in a scenario whereas freedoms have been you, sir, the ability to make money for many Americans has diminished. The ability to go outside with your normal everyday clothing without the face masks, of course, has been beyond us for over a year. The ability to just live your

life as you have always gone. Why. Because COVID nineteen came around, many doctors didn't know what it was or how to respond to it, and we understand that it was new for all of us. But then there were individuals in which we relied on to tell us the truth. Certainly we know we weren't going to get that from the media person and we were in the midst of an election and an economy that was booming was no longer.

So what do we do. We look for the White House, We look for our infectious disease experts to tell us how we should move in this pandemic, what should we be doing one And for many of us, we didn't begin to take it seriously until they canceled the NBA. Then that's when it was a true panic that ensued. But there was one guy, doctor Anthony Fauci, who was supposed that got us through one of the most horrific

events our country has ever experienced. And unfortunately, I have some bad news to report, and I actually have a word of the day. The word of the day is finessed, doctor Anthony Fauci. Finessed. The majority of the American public and the mainstream media was totally complicit in it. They were complicit by not taking in all sides of information. They were complicit by virtue of listening to one man who in some cases did not follow all the science.

They were complicit because they wanted to ensure that another man by the name of Donald Trump was going to lose the election. To what costs, people lost their livelihoods. But I guess in Trump is in president, so for

them perhaps it was well worth it. And as you know, Dr Anthony Fauci is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and he is the media's golden boy throughout the coronavirus, almost like another governor that we know who was the golden boy throughout the coronavirus,

Andrew Como, the governor of New York. But thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, we now have thousands of private emails did doctor Anthony Fauci has sent or received talking about COVID nineteen And I'm gonna read one of them to you, and I'm sure you will be very upset by the fact that we've lived through all of this and this man had a point of view that he talked about on television and privately through emails he

was saying something else all together. A writer sent him a note asking about face masks while traveling, and he said mask are really for infected people to prevent them from spreading infection to people who are not infected, rather than protecting uninfected people from acquiring infection. The typical mask you're buying a drug store is not really effective in keeping out virus which is small enough to pass through

the material. He also went on to say, this is what really gets me, and we're talking about the country's leading infectious disease expert. He said the writer if they were to where they didn't need to wear a mask during travel, to a very low risk location. All right, now, I don't know what very low risk location really means, but certainly if we listen to this SoundBite as Dr Fauci has described the important to wearing masks and honestly flip flopped on him many times, maybe he'll tell us

what exactly that means, but I doubt it. Take a listen. He spoke about my emails. You look at my emails. I never in the email said anything derogatory about President Trump. Well, the true mark of someone is if they look good

even when their personal emails come out. So you pass the chest that very feel with us with foot fast Now I don't know about you, but just listening to what he had to say and just hearing the various sound bites, I'm a bit confused, and I feel like Dr Fauci was also confused by telling us one thing

and believe in another. Now, interestingly enough, there's been actual elected officials in the Senate and the House of Representatives, even Donald Trump himself who questioned Doctor Fauci's quote unquote science. And I'm a big believer in science. So don't think that I'm providing conspiracies here, because we can all find a media reporting on this. Senator Rand Paul was one of them. He started an argument with Dr Fauci when

he came before one of the Senate committees. It was a congressional hearing on the origins of COVID nineteen and theories have circulated throughout the pandemic about whether the coronavirus sprouted in a lab and was accidentally or purposefully released, And of course the consensus varied in a lot of cases where Dr Fauci said no, it was this. The media just believed that they didn't listen to any opposing viewpoints on the issue, and they just took his word

as gold. And you know it's honestly just that's not journalism. You're supposed to you hear what a person says, you investigate and you source it, and then you come to your own conclusions. You don't just take the word of one individual. And and how do I know this to be true? Because whenever Trump said something was true, they would say, oh, uh no, we need to we don't

believe you, We don't believe you. And they would maybe somebody, possibly in one of those conservative media outlets, would would find something that verifies what he said. Others would say, oh, it's just a conspiracy theory, right wing conspiracy theory, just like the origins of COVID nineteen. We need to pause him for a quie break. We'll be back in a minute.

So during the Senate Committee hearing, Paul and we're talking about Senator Ran Paul focused on the speculation that the virus may come from may have came from a lab in Wuhan, China, and Dr Fauci. Dr Fauci was questioned about this. Paul said, Dr Fauci, we don't know whether the pandemic started in the lab and Wuhan or evolved naturally, but what we what we want to know? Paul began to say, three million people have died from this pandemic

and that should call us to explore all possibilities. Now, Rand Paul has talked about the fact that he believes that the virus did originate in Wuhan, China, in a lab. But in this instance, he was telling Dr Fauci, Listen, we have all these people who have died from COVID nighteen. Shouldn't all cards being on the table as to what we should be exploring to to see if this is true or not? Like, shouldn't we be asking these these questions.

Shouldn't we be investigating everything? You know what Dr Fauci said, He told him he was wrong, flat out, You're wrong. Basically, you don't know what you're talking about. Now we're talking about Senator Rand Paul isn't just a senator. He's elected clearly, he represents his constituency constituency, but he's also a scientist. He's a fellow scientist. He's a doctor just like Dr Fauci, and he has every right just like we do who lost our freedoms and rights over the course of over

a year. We should be questioning it too, but Dr Filgi said, no, you're wrong, and you know what the media did. He wrote them off as another Trump conspiracy theorist who was against science, even though he's a doctor. This is where we are in a place where you simply put, cannot just trust something that the mainstream media says. If you read it, you better go try to find

five other sources to verify what you just read. I never thought that I would be in a place, especially when it comes to science, which we know the Democratic Party is supposed to be the party of science, where people who are so afraid to be honest. And we're talking about now a number of doctors who have lost everything because they were honest about what their beliefs were with the origins of COVID nineteen, how Ton in new

COVID nineteen, who legitimately were labeled conspiracy theories. Let's not even just talk about that. Let's move on. Let's move on beyond just those who were labeled conspiracy theories. What about those who said that if you believe that the virus occurred in this lab in China, that you were

a racist. What about that? What about if you Donald Trump labeled the virus, which a lot of reporting now backs up, and a lot of journalists, if you if you're looking at the reporting now, a lot of journalists have admitted on the record that they dismissed the the origin of the virus coming from the Wuhan lab because Donald Trump and Republicans mentioned it. Let this again because

of the source of it. Instead of investigating it, they decided, Hey, you know, we're we're gonna label this, uh, this is a racism which we often see on the left. We're gonna label this as racist and we're going to We're going to say that in this case because Donald Trump meant should do. There's some fringe theory that is in the back rooms of the internet, the black hole of the internet where all Trump supporters lie and don't when

they reside and don't believe in science. You understand that, you who may not have believed the mainstream media, you're not crazy. Even though your friends and family maybe have said, listen, you gotta stop listening to that. This is what you need to do. You need to go do this, that and the other because that's what the media said you should do. And he said, no, I want to think for myself. I want to do the research. I want to see the compelling evidence. Of course, we all want

to be safe. And I'm not saying that folks should not have taken precautions. Absolutely they should have, but we we we want the press to hold those accountable for what they what they told us. But they're not gonna They're not gonna do that because they've been complicit. You know, it's interesting. There's an individual who's a reporter. He used to work for Fox News Channel. He recently tweeted about

the origins of it. And as we know, China has not obliged American investigators to go into this particular lab and and and see was there any origins of it theory. They've pretty much locked Americans and any health officials out of the process. It's a guy by the name of Adam hows Ling. He has reported and we're talking about

the origins of it. He is reported that U. S Intelligence now has a Chinese defector with Wuhan Info in Chinese trying to produce variants that suggested came from bats to cover up that the coronavirus originally came from a lab. And we're talking about that that Wuhan Lab in particular. Now I'm interested in knowing now with the press taking a turn, said, oh maybe that was something to this

after all. Sorry they we you know, pretty much ended livelihoods for millions of people across the across the country, and we were complicit and uh not actually getting a fact fact based analysis and getting other points of view and allow them to speak openly about this. Maybe maybe maybe maybe it'll jump in on it now and see, you know, how to how to possibly uh verify what's what's being reported now I kind of doubt it though. You know what, folks, I think what we're looking at

now is medium outpractice. The institution that is supposed to look out for our best interests has failed us. They've been derelicting their duties, and now it's upon us to look for other sources of information or verify three or four times what we read because we just simply put, cannot be trusting to an institution that has failed us

far too many times. You know, you would think when officials like CDC former CDC Director Robert Redfield back the live leak theory, you would think the media would take it more seriously. Some of the scientists that we're working in the Wuhan lab. They're back in November twenty nineteen, were hospitalized with COVID nineteen symptoms. That's back in November twenty nineteen, among other circumstantial evidence. We've seen other instances where there was clearly, in my opinion, a cover up

by way of China. Why don't you allow people to investigate? We know exactly how COVID nineteen would benefit China. They're gonna overtake the US economy sooner than they I'd have And truthfully speaking, when Trump got in and he was ushering in a prosperity that we've never seen before. The lowest black unemployment rate ever recorded, the lowest his spending unemployment rate ever recorded, the lowest for Asians, winning fifty year low. I mean, the list goes on and on.

With GDP growth rocketing, you know, we can talk about spending it. I'm all about us containing our spending as a country. I think we all should always should do that. But the Trump was spending money, but we had a GDP growth that would have allowed us to spend and be able to pay whatever debt we head back, especially if things were to continue. Also we know China trade. Trump was very hard on China when it came to trade, and there was a lot of words fired back and forth.

When it came to trade. We're talking about a trade deficited over five hundred billion dollars a year. You're talking with the B five million, five hund a billion dollar trade deficit with China. And Trump said, hey, we need we need to get this this deficit under control. They need to be doing better trade with us. We we shouldn't be at a deficit. Of course, mainstream media, oh no, no, no, no, no,

we can't have that. We absolutely cannot have that. We you know, we don't want to get into the fight with China. We don't want to get into a fight with China. I mean, you're the president of the United States. You represent your country. You should be getting the best deal for your country. And the economy continued to do well. So I can't factually say that China released it, but I can say it, in my opinion looks like it

to me. It in my opinion, looks like that it would have benefited them, especially with all the fights that were going on when it came to trade. And if you can weaken the US economy and thereby other economies around the world. You're in a position to really dominate. We know that China has been doing work in Africa, we know they've been doing work all all across the globe because they want to be the world's superpower. We

understand that. So we we understand exactly what, why, why it would make sense for China to release something like that from their point of view. I mean, all of us obviously suffered because of it. How many people have lost loved ones because of this, millions of people across the world, And then you look in the US and you look state by state. This was a very serious thing. And we continue to see evidence that points to China. And maybe now the media is beginning to think, oh,

maybe we should hold them, account of them. But what will happen? What would Joe Biden do? We know about his son and his business dealings with China, And we've heard the reporting from the New York Post and Joe Biden's sons business partner who talked about tem percent for the big Guy, which he alleged was ten percent of whatever Joe Biden's son earned would go to Joe Biden himself.

We understand that. So can we have faith and a president, a commander in chief to take action if we were to discover, and it were to be fully verified that China unleashed this virus in the world, can we expect him to do anything about it? I don't have much hope, my friends. I'm gonna be honest with you about that. I really don't. Before we move on, let's take a quick brand back in a second. I mean, the question is that political correctness play a part in all of this?

Did it? I mean it was? Was that a part of it? You can't call people out now because it's deemed racist. I don't know, but perhaps it did. I know for some folks that truly did. If you read the New York Times and the Washington Post, it clearly clearly shows that if you if you mentioned China in a particular light, especially if it was coming from Trump, it was deemed to be racist. We saw what Nancy Pelosi did. She went down to Chinatown in San Francisco

and said, hey, we're open for business. And I'm not sure if that tweet is still up because she called Trump essentially a racist for saying, hey, we need to close the border um allowing certain people into into the country coming from particular regions of the world, it was considered racist. Do we see group thinking media? Absolutely? Absolutely. Whatever the New York Times says, it's gold for so many people in the media, it's the gold standard, especially

especially that idea. Is disappointing when you see them operate with so much liberal bias on these issues on a weekly basis, and sometimes they don't even admit it. And this is this is what I don't understand. Where are the standards in journalism. They've gotta be more, more, more honest journalists out there, and I know that there are. We had hair is foking on a couple of maybe two or three weeks ago. I had hair Is foking

on talking about integrity and the press. I see some of my colleagues in in the in the media, Fox News in other places they do. But you see a report comes out by them, and people on New York Times and other places try to debunk it and ends up being true. And you know what, I gotta tell you, I am honestly tired of Donald Trump being so right on these issues. He'll say something that media will say, oh,

that's completely outlandish, can't be true. It sounds crazy. And to be honest with you, he said some things where I'm like, no, that can't be true. It does sound crazy, and then he comes out he was right the whole time. I'm honestly, I'm tired of it because I expect much more from our institutions. I expect much more from our press.

I expect them to operate with integrity. I expect them to be unbiased, which is almost not even a word you can apply to the mainstream media because some of them are operating like democrats with press passes all day. And now we're in a scenario where our lives, our livelihood for many of us have been usurped. Folks have lost their families and couldn't even go to the funerals,

they couldn't travel on planes. And we find out that one man, Dr Anthony Fauci, and there's thousands of emails out there, and I encourage people to go we as much of it as you can wasn't completely in totally honest with us. And that, my friends, is why I needed to speak to you very directly, just one on one, because I'm very, very disappointed well where we are as a country, and my only hope is that we'll see more people who are willing to come out and be honest.

I'm hoping that there the factor that Adam Howsley is reporting on, who has Wuhan info. I'm hoping that that person comes to light, and I'm hoping that our government, our government takes very serious action if it is proven, if it is proven without question and without doubt, that China unleashed its virus in the world, that there will be legit action taken and no other country will be able to do this to us.
