These will begin to undo decades of damage from the misinformation and liberalof mythmaking. Lets begin on that point. Can you elaborate . Guest i realize that for decades thereve been policies that have just not worked it be areas of information, contemporary political debate about Climate Change policies have been put in placplace but have not actually helped in researching this book i felt scores of data and theyve asked American Voters for decades now. The answers have been overwhelming. Se American People simply dont trust the media by a margin of 70 to tell them the truth about some of the ills the political policies have created and another 60 of American People dont trust politicians to tell the truth about those issues as well. So researching and detailing the problems ive also beat out some solutions but having the solutions for people to see in many areas there are some glaring issues ha as the nature testament to the research in this book. Host is it just the media or are there others . Guest i explain a lot of this in the introduction. Being a young black man on the College Campus, my College Campus unfortunately looked likl to me College Campuses today where young people are not encouraged to think critically, but instead are encouraged to be skeptical of those who do. So, in many ways they are College Professors who berate freethinkers from just actually questioning the status quo. They are also the elite, but very powerful titans in silicon valley. I mean, we know that for a long time twitter and face it doubled their algorithms to control what you see in your newsfeed. They are certainly the media as i alluded to earlier and the politicians. Many of them as i write about, particularly on an issue like immigration has sort of been bordered a decade ago and now they are fighting this administration t on funding a border enforcement. And again, they could be the local paper, anyone with power and can be in position to toll the truth and the whole truth about the issues facing the country. Host a native of savanna georgia with comfort you in the past for the conference for those who want to check it out its available on the website, cspan. Org. Typing youtype in your name in h engine. If the audience a sense of your background, where you went to college and what shaped your views today. Guest i was blessed to be raised by a loving mother and father. My mother didnt graduate high school. My dad didnt finish college, but he served his country proudly in the army. Seeing my parents be dedicated to work actually helps me when i graduated high school in 2004 and spent 12 years, i went to Florida State university, and it was my timesi in college that i sort of had a political awakening in 2008. Ironically, i met a man and professor of became a mentor but he gave me books by a great authors like thomas told and shelby steele, and in those books there are just Simple Truths and facts about the history of the country, about our Economic System and Free Enterprise and capitalism. Honestly that i havent been introducedn to in the years of being educated and growing up. I researched more and i was blessed to work for nearly five years for the National Bestselling Author of Peter Sweitzer of the Government Accountability institute, and as a researcher i spent ten to 12 hours a day researching corruption and the federal government. The tools and skills i learned as a researcher with Peter Sweitzer helped tremendously in researching and writing this book. Host in the boo the the boou even get the book and you even get to thi this a moment ago the following, many of the hotly debated topics are shaped by the power brokers, College Professors, tv talking head, media activists and washington swampsh monsters that want you to only follow theirmp narrative. So who are are the swamp monst . Guest again, i think in one of the most ancillary amounts of attention to the current political debate a few months ago i guess before impeachment t took over the narrative, you had sitting congresswoman cortez and Vice President joe biden railing against the policies. Joe biden is particularly interesting because it was just a decade ago that he was actually voting for borders padding and border enforcement. Its obviously an incredibly serious issue, but in the case of alexandria cortez, she ran as an outsider, so my expectation was she would be someone that would tell the truth, but as i write about in the book as alexandria cortez was basically preparing border enforcement agents, she alluded to death camps earlier this year. Its hard for any american paying attention to this issue if they realize as i write about in the book at the Border Patrol agentsts are hispanic and so tht doesnt jive well if you are trying to insinuate as the congresswoman did but they are running death camps on the border into the people risking their lives every day to protect are themselves. Is it broadcast news, who specifically . If the Mainstream Media generally, abc, nbc, cable news. Also it is the legacy newspapers, the New York Times, the washington post. Many of those outlets ironically are used almost 15 of the book. I have source to these outlets and they do sort of make the mistake o of of getting good at journalism every now and then but thee overwhelming majority f their coverage doesnt go to the root causes of the issues i talk about whether it be Climate Change or immigration or crime. It goes back to the distrust thathat you see in survey after survey to get Breitbart News if you build another site of the stories that make them feel like they are not getting anywhere else from the Mainstream Media. Host are they providing a more accurate picture of what is happening. I can only speak for breitbart. Com and again, entertainment editor. I think that the spirit into the mission of Breitbart News is to be skeptical of both parties if they will actually scrutinize everything, no matter who is in the oval office or what the party of the representative is. I do think that its true to the base with two breitbart who play by the rules and work hard but increasinglyth have seen their petitions particularly in washington, d. C. And feel the disconnect on the series of important issues that affect their lives. Many of the people are small and mediumsized business into the last several years there have been policies i write about in the book but have shifted their livelihoods and ability to take care of a family they are responsible for. When it comes to reporting on these issues and telling the truth about the lawmakers to vote on these issues, sure its not surprising that there are so many millions of americans that are just seeking out more information wherever they can get it. And thankfully theyve come to Breitbart News every day for that. Host our guest is Jerome Hudson joining from Jacksonville Florida. Florida. He and hisjo new book quote co. 0 things they dont want you to know. As we begin a weeklong series of conversations with authors. Authors. Lineauthors. Wines are often divided betweenn democrats, republican and independent and also taking text messages. The number is 202 7488003. You can also send a message on cspan wj. Mr. Can before we get going because i want your reaction to a story breaking on axioms. Com. The ukraine aid was frozen and n soon after the call with president zelensky based on the emails obtained from the freedom of information act. I want to share part of what they are reporting this morning. The White House Budget Office ordered the pentagon to withhold military aid to ukraine 91 minutes after th the president s uncle july 25 with the ukrainian president. That was in emails released to the center for public integrity. 146 pages of redacted emails between the office o the officet and budget into the pentagon and asked it of withholding aid to ukraine before the phone call to zelensky and based on guidance received and in light of the administrations claim to review assistance to ukraine including the Security Assistance initiative any additional obligations to the funds and pending direction from that process than the sensitive nature of the request i ecpreciate you keeping that information closely held for those that need to know the executive protection. Thats an excerpt of an email between the omb and the pentagon. More details on axiom taxi was axios. Com. Guest the president made it very clear in this campaign he would scrutinize the money and he made the point about the war and american intervention. There was a quagmire in ukraine and in the region before the president announced his candidacy. So i think as he has said, he wanted to be skeptical, he wanted more information. I think that when americans are looking at this, theyy do ask their questions like why in fact our american tax dollars into theamerican taxpayers on hook for so many hundreds of millions of dollars going to a country that has been corrupt for many years and so i would like to see more of the information, but again i think this is consistent with what the president has said in terms of being responsible and accountable to his base and supporters about where the money and tax dollars are going in this case in ukraine that have been corruptpt for so long. Host from new york on the republican line. Thank you for waiting you are on the air. Caller im glad you mentioned obamacare because i remember at the time when he said keep your doctor, keep your plan. Mr. Gruber was the one that was the architect of it in the said it passed because the American People were stupid. With this new impeachment thing when pelosi said past that therell and read it later its the same thing happening with the impeachment. In the articles of the past them and read them later. Its going to end up where they said they were in the morning they were out laughing and partying and it is a great thing. I think somebody is going to be overheard saying this because thanks for the call from new york. I didnt hear a question of wha dabout what i did here is ae of the same angst and rage and thats why ive dedicated a chapter to obamacare. The administration knew for quite some time while they were gathering the votes to pass the Affordable Care act which did pass on very partisan lines that millions of americans would actually lose their health coverage, that they would have fewer options for plans that in many cases the premiums would increase. The Obama Administration knew full well of this while the president was out of promising people that they would be able to keep their doctor and that they would be able to keep their insurance plans. I dont think that anybody at the time was arguing that there were no Serious Solutions that needed to be debated and ultimately voted on if americans supported them, but what obamacare did was put a product and mandated that americans purchased it and in many ways economists have argued now for a long time that i but it was a bt to Insurance Companies and the american citizen got a raw deal in the intervening years they could have done away with, and i speak personally at the time for personal reasons i didnt have Health Insurance for six months anded then i purchased Health Insurance the last three months of the year to write a fat check to the federal government just because of a choice that i did not need to purchase a product and so again i wanted to dedicate a chapter to this rscause again it highlights how our lawmakers have an increasing amount of power and influence over the last of american citizens and if you have a president with president obama Whose Administration experts were no doubt telling him the premiums would be decreased and if he could keep their Health Care Plans and their doctors if they wanted to say boldfaced why it for him to continue to go out and told to the American People i wanted to document what was true. Host im going to turn to chapter 49 and one of the points that you make in the 150 milliondollar loss for the company that the approval is worth it a and then in Columbus Ohio there was a shooter that killed nine people and injured 27 within 30 seconds so my question is how or do you balance the Second Amendment and the use of the assault rifles that can kill so many so quick quickly. I own an assault rifle, and i am a member of the nra. I think it is important to mention i am a lawaw abiding citizen and i am the son and a brother. The people who get these weapons there is no bal wall that you cn pass for procuring these weapons. I think in many cases particularly in recent shootings in california they are often purchased legally. So any wall that is now implemented whenever some evil person picks up a gun and does the unspeakable, they only hurt people like myself, my neighbors, people who actually follow thew rules and the law. I think that if anything as i speak about in the chapter, those were the people that decided to take their business elsewhere. People who follow the law and would never think of taking someone elses life the majority of gun deaths in this country dont come from the assault weapons. Particularly with guns, they are taken with handguns and three times more people that are stabbed to death and scores more people are killed with hammers. I dont think that this issue needs to be about guns. It needs to be finding ways to stop these crimes if and when it is possible with the aid of law enforcement. Host one question who funds breitbart . Guest they dont have a painful. You can download our app from anyy store. Weve run advertisements on the site which obviously a forprofit institution does but im sorry, i do not know and cannot speak to the funding of breitbart. Host this is what the website looks like. We will go to lisa in the shreveport. Good morning. Caller i want to know if you can eventually come out and tell everybody because the great awakening is coming. Within the media they will come out on the lawlessness and all of this coming out please help us keep your voice loud andd clear because the media is going down. Thank you. We will get a response. We follow closely the breaking news about the abuse of Harvey Weinstein and not only in los angeles but in new york and washington, d. C. In that story it dovetails to alleged sexual abuse and washington, d. C. And from there, we learn ther learned there is o secret fund in which taxpayer dollars are being used. And they claim would be made against a lawmaker. I think again this goes to the fact congressional approval is 17 when people find out the lawmakers that they have entrusted to be the best of us and represent us are actually not all these people are guilty but when we find out there is a fund in which the taxpayer dollars are being to settle sexual allegation cases i think it does speak to a lot of the anger and distrust into the average american americans havr political beliefs. Host let me go back to the gun issue our guest just lost me. St i wish the shooter of the countrat thecountry music festig of hammers and bought an eight hour with a bone stock. It killed 58 people and injured more than 400 others. Your response to that . Guest we still dont know the full details of the event. But in many cases, what we do know is that there is. I am not going to sit here and say that mass shooting dont occur. They absolutely do and they are tragic. Mass shootings in this country do not occur in the sense that you are far more likely to die by falling or the flu then you are detailed in a mass shooting and i dedicated a chapter to the fact that nearly 99 of all have been in a gun free zone and that is the place which it is advertised you are not supposed to carry a gun and i think anyone in the picks up a gun and is willing, they target these places tha are advertised and they cannot get there quick enough but again whenever someone commit a a heinous crime it receives as mucthat receivesa attention as itia a should beg n the conversation is often concentrated on the gun. They are being sold in the mostt dangerous cities around the country and they are not using assault rifles. Banning assault rifles will not stop the bloodshed that we see that i write about this in the book. Host marshall is joining in clearwater florida on the republican line. Caller i want to make a slight comment on the last segment. I believe this is why fox news came around and why Rush Limbaugh was born. It is because for so long that the news media. To talk for a moment or two if you could come up a comment andt the other segment i would like to say kind of upsets me a call in and make a broad swatch of all republicans and supporters. Host Jerome Hudson . The newsroom is more racially diverse than nearly every newsroom inn the country. Speaking at the rallies and conferences and in writing this book, no more have i ever received emails, feedback and looked in peoples eyes who swear that they follow the issues i write about in this book and they do not know so many of the stuff i pointed out by a research. I think that that is a telling testament to the media in the country. These organizations in the and e thinkream media, but i that particularly when you look at the president , hes done a lot of good things in terms of the economy and being awol and enforcement agent is so much soe and energy is spent c
