You have these 60 minute producers who are living in comfort and security in their West End condos, trying to make us feel sympathetic for these monsters. Have you seen the tattoos, the face tattoos, the body tattoos on these killers? With one 60 minutes? [00:00:15] Producer or writer agree to spend 30 minutes? I'll make a deal. We will pick someone at random that we sent to Scott. Just a random lottery drawing and they will spend one day overnight in your apartment. [00:00:30] Who was taking that deal at 60 minutes? Nobody. Because they know that these are monsters who got exactly what they deserved. I don't know why he's yelling like that, but earlier this week, Stephen Miller had some very harsh words for the producers of 60 minutes. [00:00:47] Jake, I got to get your $0.02 on that tirade that we just heard. So the more important part of this story is Barry Weiss take over CBS. In which direction she's taking it. But wait till you see the quotes about the Ellisons. So that's Larry Ellison, the founder of Oracle, and his son David Ellison, [00:01:06] who is now has bought CBS. So there will be changes. And we're going to tell you about those changes. They've also bought TikTok. There'll be massive changes there as well. And they're trying to buy CNN. And why are they doing that? [00:01:21] Well, some of you might already know why they're doing that, but amazing, revelations in this article, things I did not know about Ellison's. You're definitely going to want to know. Yeah, absolutely. So we have a lot in jam packed into this one story. So CBS news has been engulfed in controversy ever since the editor [00:01:41] in chief, Barry Weiss, decided to pull a 60 minute segment on Scott at the very last minute. So Weiss explained her decision to the staff of CBS news in a memo. And we have some excerpts from that memo here. So she said, right now, the majority of Americans say they do not trust the press. [00:01:59] It isn't because they're crazy to win back their trust. We have to work hard. Sometimes that means doing more legwork. Sometimes it means holding a piece about a controversial subject to make sure it is comprehensive and fair. Okay, so that's the reason that she's giving [00:02:15] for why they pulled the secret piece. So there are conflicting accounts of what actually happened to that pulled segment. According to a source who spoke to Axios. CBS news reached out to the Trump administration for comment. The white House, Department of Homeland Security and the State Department [00:02:34] all issued written responses, but none of those responses were included in the final segment. However, according to 60 minutes to a correspondent, Sharyn Alfonsi, she said we requested responses to questions and or interviews with DHS, [00:02:49] the white House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a veto. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story. So, yeah, this was a huge story when it blew up that there was this piece that was [00:03:05] detailing, you know, and there were clips of it that were floating around. I think you could also if you had a VPN, you could still access it. I didn't watch it myself personally, but I did see some clips and it was like very graphically detailing what is actually going on at these immigrant detention centers, like secret. [00:03:22] It didn't look good. It didn't make the Trump administration look good. It felt unnecessarily cruel. And, you know, you have to assume that that is the real reason why it was pulled, because it didn't make Trump look good. Jake, I know you've got more. What do you say? Yeah. No, look, they're not hiding it anymore. [00:03:40] As you know, one of the quotes from the New York Times piece says, Mr. Trump has privately said Larry Ellison assured him that he would turn CBS news, which Ellison took over when they bought Paramount into a more conservative outlet. Two people with knowledge of the president's comments said. [00:03:55] So look, as you're going to see later, Larry Ellison doesn't really care about conservative or liberal. He only cares about Israel. But in this case, in order to help Israel, he's saying to Trump, yeah, yeah, we'll bury any news that's bad about you, and we'll highlight news that or pretend [00:04:11] that there's news that's, good for you. And so, look, a lot of these, traditional media outlets have always been for propaganda purposes. But now this is a new layer of it where they're just being brazen and they're saying, yes, this is not really news. [00:04:27] This is propaganda for the moment being it's propaganda to help Donald Trump. But really, of course, there's a second reason, as we'll get into a little bit later. Yeah. And one of the things also that is, that stands out about this piece is that this is all happening kind of in the middle of everything [00:04:47] that is happening with CBS and with, you know, people like Stephen Colbert There and you know, all the, you know, they're pulling funding from all these different, outlets that we're used to having. They're compromising what is actually being reported to the people, and they're saying that they're doing it for whatever purpose. [00:05:04] But we know that it's really all about censorship. But, you know, something of note is that Barry Weiss, she was put in charge of CBS news after Skydance acquired Paramount. So there's also all of these acquisitions and mergers that are happening in the midst of all of this. Right. And Barry Weiss is very much a part of all of of the transformation of the media [00:05:23] that this administration is trying to do. So David Ellison is the CEO of Skydance, and his father, Larry Ellison, is the CEO of Oracle and David's business partner. So Barry Weiss is an outspoken critic of American liberals. [00:05:38] She is now accused of pushing the Trump administration's interests. But according to the New York Times, there's another big issue that is even more important to the heads of Paramount. So Larry Ellison was once a stalwart Clinton era Democrat, [00:05:54] but he has gravitated toward Trump in large part because of the president's support for Israel. Several people who have spoken to him said both Ellison are close. Both Ellison's are close to Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, whom one associate described as like an uncle figure to David Ellison. [00:06:12] So, Jake, this sounds super boring, but like, it's just Israel all over again, like Israel is not only, you know, paying off all of our politicians and our Congress people, but they're also very, very much affecting our media and the news that is transmitted [00:06:29] to Americans and the ways in which that news is transmitted to Americans. Yeah, there's no question about it. It's in the New York Times. They're openly talking about it. So, look, David Ellison looks to be a son who really didn't do much, growing up. [00:06:45] He went to USC, and. Nothing wrong with that. Our own J.R. Jackson went there. My wife went there. But it is known as the University of Spoiled Children. And, And David Ellison's a perfect example of it. He eventually dropped out for an acting career that didn't really exist. [00:07:01] His dad financed a movie that flopped, that he was an actor in, etc. So now he goes to daddy and he says, hey, daddy, daddy, daddy, can we use your tens of billions of dollars to buy almost half the media in America on behalf of Israel? And and his dad, Larry Ellison, says, I thought you'd never ask. [00:07:18] Right. So they go on this shopping spree. They bought Paramount pretty cheap. That has CBS in it. They go and buy a free press, which is Barry Weiss's, publication. And they announced that they're buying it and that they're paying a higher price [00:07:34] because she's pro-Israel. So they're we're at the point where they're not hiding anything anymore. Right? So they put Barry Weiss, whose main thing that she's known for is being pro-Israel. That's the only thing she really seems to care about at all. And they put her as head of CBS news. So her job is to be a hatchet man to keep Trump happy. [00:07:52] So that's why she kills the second story. Anyone taking her excuse as real is a joke, right? Everybody knows she killed it for Trump. And the right wing knows it, the left wing knows it, etc. But it's not that she loves or cares about Trump. If Trump does not listen to Israel, I guarantee you CBS and every other thing [00:08:11] that they buy in media will turn around and say that Trump is terrible. He did the Epstein thing and it's all his fault and etc. And they'll attack him voraciously because as you see here in that, killer quote that he has just read to you from The New York Times. [00:08:27] I mean, David Ellison grew up with Benjamin, world's biggest terrorist, Netanyahu, as a de facto uncle. So these are not normal. Like, oh, we like Israel, we love Israel, we have a connection to Israel, etc.. [00:08:44] No, there is zealots there. Maniacal pro-Israel radicals. Larry Ellison donated $16 million to the IDF in the middle of the genocide. He's like, you guys are doing such great work and slaughtering [00:09:00] Palestinians indiscriminately. And I wanted to give you my money so that you could do more. Right. So total radicals and and and now they're saying, yeah, we love Netanyahu. We love Israel. And if you don't know, drop site news revealed these emails as well. [00:09:19] Larry Ellison talks to the Israeli ambassador back in, the 20 during the 2016 election cycle. And he says, I'm going to go talk to Marco Rubio and see if he's pro-Israel. He comes back and reports back to the Israeli ambassador. Larry Ellison is supposed to be an American citizen. [00:09:36] Okay. And says, oh, I talked to Rubio. He's approved. He he will definitely serve Israel. So I gave him $5 million to a superPAC to run against Donald Trump. And so the Israelis and Larry Ellison were convinced that Rubio [00:09:54] was 100% in the tank for Israel. So that was the American politician they were going to support the most. And Ellison immediately gave him a $5 million check. So all of their efforts have been completely in favor of a foreign government. They've now captured CBS in favor of that government. [00:10:11] They've captured TikTok in favor of that government. And again, these are all now on the record. Netanyahu on tape said, well, TikTok is causing a lot of problems, but we fixed it because we now got it. And now it's going to be basically says something to the effect of it's going to now not be pro-Israel. [00:10:28] So now if you say, hey, it looks like the Israelis are are doing a land grab in media to do propaganda on behalf of Israel, they'll say, how dare you, you anti-Semite! But Netanyahu said it. Larry Ellison said it, right. [00:10:43] I'm giving you quotes from them. Right? And they're like, yeah, they're allowed to say, but you're not allowed to repeat it. Okay. And now they're also trying to buy CNN. So look, I have massive problems with mainstream media to begin with. I think that they were doing an enormous amount of propaganda [00:11:00] for the establishment to begin with. I think they were doing a massive amount of and have been my entire life, a massive amount of propaganda for Israel to begin with. But this is the is basically the Israel supporting radicals saying not enough. [00:11:15] It's never enough. You're not allowed to have a scintilla of criticism of Israel, and you are to crush anyone who dares to criticize them. And we're going to use the media for not hidden propaganda anymore, [00:11:30] but overt, brazen propaganda. So that's as they spike the story. That's CBS is done. Put a spike in him. Put a fork in him. If they're done, they're not doing news anymore. So the old CBS you had in your mind, and they did some some great work. [00:11:48] A lot of BS, but the Walter Cronkite and the Dan Rather and all those legendary news guys from back in the day, 60 minutes when it was at its best, that stuff is all gone. Erased from history by Larry and David Ellison and Barry Weiss. [00:12:03] Yeah. And it's so sad because these are legacy institutions. And even though, you know, we have our criticisms of it, a show like 60 minutes going down or being targeted the way it is, that one is, I think, particularly hurtful because that is a show that seems that it's at least being run by journalists who [00:12:19] are trying to do good journalism and are trying to do the work that they studied and practiced doing, and that, you know, they got into this line of work because that is the work they wanted to do. But, you know, in this case, during this administration, the media across the board has really complied in advance of a lot of things, right? [00:12:37] They thought that if we give a little bit to Donald Trump, then you know he'll back off and leave us alone. But we know that that's not how it works. We know that he's a narcissist. We know that he's power hungry. We know that he has a very, very fragile ego. So if you give a little, all you do is tell him [00:12:52] that he can take even more from you. And that's exactly what we're seeing. And, you know, there's always been this narrative from the right that the mainstream media is too left leaning and too liberal. But, you know, that's always been kind of a funny thing to hear as a progressive, because the mainstream media has never been as left leaning as maybe it could be. [00:13:09] It has always been beholden in some way, shape or form to corporate leaders, even to the government at times. So there have always been things that could not and would not be said on the news, on mainstream channels like MSNBC or whatever it's called now, [00:13:25] and CNN and all that. The reason, however, that I believe these media critics have always said that the media is left leaning, is that regardless of how it's being run, the media always has to report the facts. We saw what happened to Fox News when they when they did not report the facts, [00:13:42] they got sued for a bajillion dollars. Right. And the facts that are being reported on outlets like, you know, PBS, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, they were often not very flattering to people on the right or particularly to this administration. [00:13:57] And so that has become a problem. There's two sides to doing the news, right. You have to give people the facts as they are, and then you can commentate on them and put it into context and help people to understand what all of this actually means, what it means for the country, what it means to the planet, [00:14:14] what it means to people's everyday lives. And you know, they can do as much of that as they want on right leaning media to try and spin things, but there's only so far you can you can get with that whenever the facts are just not in your favor. Even on Fox News, what we've seen lately is the facts are so bad [00:14:31] that they have to report on it anyway, And then they try to like, you know, like, let's not blame Trump for this because, you know, it's just his first year, you know, like that's kind of been their go to line lately as they're reporting about how unpopular he is and how bad the economy is and how dissatisfied the American people are, [00:14:48] especially, you know, this year leading into the holiday season, people were wildly unhappy with the state of things in this country. So that's you know, what? What I'm afraid of is that this news about what's happening over at CBS is not going [00:15:03] to reach the people who are regularly getting their news from places like CBS. And so they won't necessarily notice that there's been a shift and they'll just, you know, go off of reputation and think, you know, this is CBS. So I should be able to trust to a degree what they're telling me. [00:15:18] Yeah. My last two quick things are I don't want anybody to get, what I'm saying wrong. I think 60 minutes was one of the best things on television, and I think that they were a rare place where they actually did journalism quite often. You know, we could have we've I'm sure had issues [00:15:35] with some of their reporting in the past. But within the context of the rest of traditional media, they were terrific. And now it looks like they're dead. So any remnant of news is being spiked everywhere we go. And then finally, if you notice in that quote that he has read you about Ellison, [00:15:53] not only are they super tight with Netanyahu, etc., but, Larry Ellison mainly used to give the Democrats before, and now he's mainly given to Republicans. And so he doesn't really have an ideology outside of Israel, Israel, Israel, Israel, Israel. Right. [00:16:08] So if it turns out Democrats are doing Israel more favors, he'll then turn all of those media outlets back to supporting the left, theoretically, right, as opposed to the right. Whoever is kissing Israel's ass is who those media companies will work for. [00:16:24] And by the way, if you don't know, there's already like IDF soldiers that do hate speech policing at TikTok, at meta, their former IDF. People former in brackets and they're [00:16:41] looking for hate speech, which of course means anything that's against Israel. But if you want to do hate speech against Muslims, they'll probably promote it in the algorithm because they love bigotry towards Muslims that helps Israel attack Muslims and take their land. So that's the state of play in in American media. [00:17:00] The only upside to it is now because of online media. So many of us know it and the walls have been breached. So their propaganda, once the curtain is lifted, everybody can see the Wizard of Oz. So go ahead, keep doing your Aussie stuff. [00:17:18] Right? But nobody's buying that crap from the Wizard of Oz real. Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets his wings. Totally not true, but it does keep you updated on our live shows.
