Discussion on Trump TV and Media Control

Uh, this is just joyful. I mean, when I first saw it, it popped up as I

was just scrolling through very, very quickly last week to see what's

happened.

Uh, and when I saw Trump TV, I thought, "Of course, why not?

This is the way you do it. You take control of the airwaves."

But Trump being the

typical businessman, he didn't bother fighting the bad guys.

He just built a better burger, and now people are going to his corner

store-

That's true

... to eat his burger because it's juicier,

it's fatter, it's got more in it.

Uh, it's got no poison. It's great beef, and it's got great lettuce and tomato and

onions, and the sauce is unbelievable. It's the best sauce.

Believe me-

Mm-hmm

... when I tell you it's the best

you get, you get my drift. And the beauty of it is this,

'cause it falls into,

and I'm sure you're gonna mention this shortly, but booting out the, the legacy

media out of the, uh, the media room where they think they have

some sort of

right to be there, um, and, and, uh,

and presenting on Trump TV real time, the full

undigested, unedited, uh, messages

that are coming out of the White House.

Now, how did, how did the, the legacy media see this?

"Oh my God, you can't throw us out. Quick, let's get a judge to put an injunction

on, on Trump's not letting people in the, in the White House." Now, we all know

this is a show, so let's just understand

that for starters.

This is worldwide wrestling right?

Now, but for the audience who enjoys my troop

sergeant, I think I told you, my

troop sergeant used to watch the wrestling and I said, "Artie, why do you watch

that? It's just all fake." He went, "Yeah, we know that, but it's just fun to see

what happens next." So that's the way we've gotta watch this particular show.

We wanna see what happens next.

And so he- he's thrown out the legacy media people,

and they go to a judge, and the

judge throws out an injunction, and I'm sitting there gobsmacked.

I mean, who are you to think you can tell the pr-

the president who's allowed in,

in that room? It's not like they don't have access to

information.

They don't have to be in the room. It's all about their egos.

It's all about getting that front two rows.

It's all about getting the question asked so they can impress the world with their,

with their asinine opinions.

And at the same time, what's Trump doing?

He's, uh, he's un- unexpurgated

information for you to make your own mind up,

and that is anathema to legacy media.

If you remember that famous clip where one of the journalists said, "It's up to us

to tell the people what to think. How dare somebody else do it."

And that's the way they've, they've believed it.

But they've had to play this out, and then there's the court case.

There's an injunction. He's gotta let the, the, the legacy media

goons back in because the p- the, the, the, the,

the audience, the great unwashed, all of us out here have to watch this play

out where the concept of, excuse me, free speech

is being broken because he won't let crooks into the, um,

dishonest, uh, actors, bad actors into the, the press room.

They have access to all the data. They just wanna be in the press room.

But it's interesting. F- First Amendment? Really?

How is it possible that the First Amendment is being, uh,

breached by

throwing out

certifiably guilty bad actors? Now, let's just step back

a fraction into the elements of national power.

If you have-- And one of them is informational capacities.

Informational capacities is not intelligence, but it's actually the

capacity to monitor the information that's being flowed into,

into and out of, uh, the minds of the people.

Informational capabilities. Part of this is media.

Now, most of it is monitoring, uh, who's saying what to whom, but

that doesn't

mean the world owes anybody's craziest ideas,

damaging ideas, wrong ideas a free run.

There's no obligation to provide them a platform.

But because media has been owned by corrupted, uh, individuals and

organizations for the longest time, we expect a balanced argument to be,

uh, "Don't kill babies," and, "Killing babies is healthcare," as opposed

to,

"If you think killing babies is healthcare, you're a fucking idiot,

and we're not

gonna give you an ounce of time to argue your case." Everyone likes a balanced

argument, but they've always balanced it with the

most insane.

Now, people are accustomed to this nonsense

instead of a rational view that says,

"I do not have to consider whether raping a three-year-old is good or bad.

I don't need a counter view. I am intelligent enough,

I am moral enough to make my

own mind up without some overpriced airhead on news

telling me, 'Oh no, it's good for, uh, uh, women's health,

women's psychological health to, to kill their baby at the point of birth.

And it's somebody's religion to rape a three-year-old. It's okay.

We have to be accommodating.'"

No. No more. We don't need to hear the extreme

positions which have

been forced down our throats without any resistance.

Any. And so it, it, it's, it's elevated simply by its

presence on the screen as having some merit, which it doesn't.

None of those two issues I mentioned have merit.

We know that we're a Christian

Western civilization. We know that those

issues don't have merit. We don't need to hear the arguments in

favor of, 'cause we

know it's flat wrong. But over the years, because we've been given these, th- this,

this impression that every possible concept has to be argued

in detail

on our dime, on our time,

is just nonsense. And so, but it has to be played out in the court.

So how the hell,

how the hell is it a f- is it a First Amendment issue? It's not.

We know that. But the people have to be disabused of

this concept that

every lunatic needs the same space as everybody else.

We as a moral people, we make our own minds up.

We just switch it off and go, "No, you don't." Now, if the media

was genuinely

based on a providing a service that the people wanted at a profit,

those stories wouldn't get any airplay 'cause people would be switching off the

program. And all of a sudden you have media

entertainment

industries, uh, doing what they were intended to do initially, which

was to

entertain the people, inform the people. And if the people liked it, they paid.

If they don't like it, they didn't pay.

So that's, that, that, that moral rectitude that, that

permeated the Western nations around the world, that directed where it

went. But then the model changed. They didn't care if they made money.

They just controlled it. They forced it down your throat.

You know, the, the news services don't need advertising

to make money.

The money comes in regardless, and I'll give you one last example of it.

It's like the- ... the Hollywood model for business, uh,

used to be, and I've said

this before, so forgive me if I'm repeating it, but this is the key.

This model, this idea of this model has to be

understood and broken, both at the

news level and, and entertainment.

In the old days, movie pr- movie studio owner wants to make money

by making films. What's the object? Make money. How? Making films.

End state, lots of money. Great.

So he gets a top flight writer, a top flight producer, a, a

leading man, a leading woman, and he gets them together and, and spends

millions

to make a movie hoping that the audience likes the film

and will pay

their $10 to get into the cinema.

And so they were compelled to meet the needs of the people.

Now, when the people already have a

well-established culture, like a, a Western,

Christian Western Anglophone culture in which we all grew up,

it's easy to know what they want. Excuse me.

Got those massive

mosquitoes. It's easy to know what they want.

Everybody wants,

uh, an entertaining time, which, which reinforces their beliefs

one way or the other. We don't mind being challenged,

but it better be pretty

rational. Now, that was the model, and so movies, uh, studios would produce

movies that people wanted. But then the big money turned up,

and profit was not the

issue. So what happened was this. China or any other nation on

the planet with, uh, ill intent towards the US, which

is just about everybody in

the old days,

they turn up with tens of millions of dollars.

They find the, the studio owner and go, "Here you go.

Here's, uh, $150 million. Go make this film."

And so the, uh, studio owner gets paid, the writer gets paid, the

director gets paid, the stars get paid 20, $30 million. Oh my God.

But this is before the film's made.

So nobody, but nobody, but nobody cares if the film makes a cent.

It's part of brainwashing the people.

That's the problem. That's the same with the news.

They don't care if they make, um, money on the ads between the segments.

All it is about brainwashing, and it's not a profit-driven, uh, issue

anymore. Meet the needs of a West- a Christian Western Anglophone nation.

It is a brainwashing system. And so what DJT is doing here, he's

watching, he's allowing the people to watch

that system be exposed,

challenged, and dismantled. And at the same time, while he's saying

the old burger shop ain't that great, right across the road, he's built this

wonderful big, you know, the world's best burger.

And people will just wander across to his shop, and watch the other one

cease to have any customers. But the people have to see it in,

in action.

They have to be denied the, the, uh, the truth about the, um, shown the truth

about the original burger shop, but at the same time being given a better,

bigger

burger than they've ever had before.

And so it's, it's, it's, it's not just fun, which it is,

but it's also

extremely important to disassemble this psychological model that people have in

their head about information, about entertainment, and get the new one,

which is

you're smart enough to make up your own mind.

You can sit around the dinner table like, like I did when I was a little boy at

home. You know, there's mom and dad and, and seven kids, good Italian Catholics.

You know, they couldn't stop breeding.

Uh, and the dinner around the ta- the talk around the table

was what you're not

supposed to talk about, religion and politics.

And that way we grew sharp and steel, sh- sharpen, steel sharp and

steel intellectually, which allowed us as young children to grow

up in this highly

intellectual environment in which reason mattered, in which

evidence mattered, in which histrionic opinion was irrelevant.

I mean, you can yell and scream if you get angry.

There's nothing wrong with that, but don't think you're gonna win an

argument with

it. And so this is what it's all reintroducing

into this Christian Western

Anglophone tradition that we all grew up in.

Not in the last 30 years,

but men, men and women of our age, John, without giving too much away, we

grew up in a very different world. And, and to sound like a, a cranky old man,

I'll

tell you what, kids, it was a whole lot nicer.

Sure, it had some problems, but it was a lot nicer than today
