Police Officers and Physical Altercations 00:05:24
Hey, everybody, Jason Burmes here.
I am with my man John Fitch after a long two-week layoff.
It seems like forever.
As I was on the road in Virginia and then in New York, and I'll be going back to Scranton, Pennsylvania to speak at the Reawaken America Tour.
Once again, I want to thank Clay Clark and everybody involved there because without them, I wouldn't be able to speak to a bunch of mainline Christian conservatives about the very real transhumanist agenda and how Elon Musk is far from their friend.
That being said, we've missed some good fights.
A lot's been going on in the world.
We're going to really good fights.
We're going to focus in on Brian Stelter in the beginning of this broadcast and how he is no longer on CNN.
We're going to actually watch his farewell speech, which is cartoonish, man.
It's like his whole career was cartoonish.
He's a character of a human being.
He's just the worst.
Yes.
And, you know, I'm getting some comments on the glasses.
These aren't prescription by any means.
Everybody knows I've had problems with my right eye and I continue to.
Really, they're blue blockers and they help me read a lot because there's a weird glare that comes off otherwise.
And I never thought I'd be wearing these on air.
You can see the reflection.
I hate it, but I want to be able to read some articles.
And I was having a bit of a struggle earlier in my transhuman WEF brain chip agenda.
If you haven't seen that one, it's pure gold, folks.
All right.
Fitch, before we get going, we're actually live on Podbean.
So if you want to call in via the app, you can do that.
Tell people, yeah, there we go.
Let's double it down.
You've got the rock star look.
I look like a roadie, right?
I look like I'd be lucky to be the bass player.
You're the front man.
I don't know if Mixed Marshall Mindset will be our band name, but Fitch is definitely the front guy here.
Fuck and roll.
What have you been up to the last two weeks?
I know you've been doing the podcast, the learn to fight videos.
What else?
I got to sit in on a C4C PJJ.
The PJJ stands for Police Jiu-Jitsu workshop.
It was a four-day long event, eight-hour days.
You guys were cranking out a lot of time.
There are police officers and a few security guys from casino.
But it was really cool to see condensed teaching because these guys are like learning to go back to teach the rest of their guys from where they're from.
And it's really impressive to see the guys teaching because there are cops that are teaching.
This is some police officers who put this together and a lot of cops who teach it.
I'm going to be working with these guys in the future because I am a subject matter expert, subject matter expert, and I'm a pretty good teacher.
So I'll be working with them.
And it's kind of exciting because you don't understand how much a lot of these cops don't know about fighting and grappling.
Just basic combat.
How little exposure they get to it.
I mean, let's be honest.
A lot of these guys can go years, if not decades, in their career without any kind of a physical altercation, depending on what beat or department they're on.
I mean, that's just real.
They're only required.
They train like once every six months or once a year, a lot of times.
Everything else is like they have to do it on their own.
If they're not out looking for jiu-jitsu or some kind of training, like there's not that many opportunities for them to train.
You know, Pat Militich does this with security officers, law enforcement, all over the place because there is a high demand for it.
And obviously, Pat being both a fighter and a coach has gone through that.
Being part of one of the biggest and best camps of all time.
In fact, we got to ask, what did you think of watching that Luke Rockhold fight?
Because I know you and Luke.
Man, that's a fight.
Just you can feel the, I don't know, the frustration.
I think the altitude got to him a little bit.
But yeah, when you start seeing how far you are away from your goals, like the obstacles, you know, when you start getting older and it starts looking like it's a little bit harder to get to where you want to be, a little bit harder to get to that spot.
And on top of that, you have a pretty corrupt system in martial arts and how things run.
So even if you were the best guy and you did everything right, like you still may not ever get another title shot.
You may not ever get, you know, pushed the way you were when you were a champ just because you already had your turn and they're they're ready to put on the next show.
You know, well, they also put him in there.
He hadn't fought in three years.
They put him in there arguably not only with a top five guy, but on any given day, could be the champion in that division.
He looked in the best shape of his life, the least puffy I've ever seen him, Apollo Costa.
And, I mean, that fight, it looks like, you know, both of them obviously gas a lot after the first round.
The second round, you know, is a brutal fight.
You can tell Rockhold is very frustrated because, you know, he wanted to be able to command.
He could barely keep his hands up at points.
Third round, again, you know, digging for grit, turning his back, cursing at Costa.
It was kind of a wild fight, you know.
I mean, it really was.
Remember The Gulf War 00:15:44
Yeah.
I mean, for a minute, I thought maybe he got hit in the body and that was bothering him.
Maybe his rib was bothering him.
But no, I just think he had a lot on his shoulders, a lot on his mind going into the fight.
Like, I think you could see it in his interviews, the things he's saying.
And, you know, he was fighting more than Paul Acosta in there that night.
So let's do it.
Let's send off Brian Stelter.
Now, before we get here, John, let's just talk a little bit.
Let's opine on Stelter leaving.
Number one, I think that there is an effort.
It goes far beyond this new management and ownership, if you will, of CNN to the fact that they want to bring more people back into mainstream narratives.
And CNN's credibility has been completely shattered over the last five to ten years.
Let's be honest.
And really, anybody that's been paying attention to weapons of mass.
Have they ever had any credibility?
Come on.
Do you remember when what's her name?
The old, what's her name?
The blonde chick with the huge boobs died.
Remember that crap?
Oh, you're talking about Anna Nicole Smith?
Anna Nicole Smith.
Do you remember any of the CNN coverage and the obsession and stuff around that?
When has ever been credible?
They've never been a credible news source.
They are the inquirer.
They always have been.
But many people thought they were down the middle, John.
They got to fill the time with nonsense.
Here's the thing.
When you looked at the war on terror, for instance, and you looked at the post-Bush gore scenario, because CNN kind of played that down the middle.
Let's be honest.
I know that's a long time ago for people.
It's over 20 years ago, but they played the Bush gore Chads and, you know, they played it kind of down the middle.
Then you have the war on terror.
Fox goes so over the top, everybody's a terrorist, that you're looking for some kind of middle ground.
And at the time, the opposition party would still allow a Dennis Kucinich on the air, somebody anti-war, somebody asking questions.
And Fox News, the only time you would see that is when they were just going after the throat.
People like Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity calling people like Ron Paul Paltards.
So a lot of people in my age group and our age, they're in their mid-20s to early 30s.
They're maybe now starting to pay attention a little bit.
We don't like what's going on to the point where I want to remind everybody: CNN does the first YouTube debate for 2008.
It's in 2007 on the Democratic side.
And everybody up there, we've played the watch-alongs: Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Bill Richardson's up there.
Mike Gravelle and Dennis Kucinich, to their credit, are actually sincere about what they're saying.
Everybody else is full of shit.
We're going to close Guantanamo Bay.
We're going to get out of Iraq.
And then they brought people in.
They brought the YouTube generation in.
Now, I think it started to go sour when the facade of Barack Obama went away because they got to do their victory a lot during the Obama years and kind of turned partisan.
But when people were still upset and they went full board against Trump, that's where the real division went.
You know what I mean?
Because, you know, they really became a mouthpiece for the government and their narratives and their positions, just like the New York Times, the LA Times have.
They've always been narrative control.
But I feel like they want to push them back into that pre-Trump era where, come on in.
Now we're okay.
We'll let somebody else talk a little bit.
And finally, they're getting rid of Sanderson.
Remember the crazy X, remember that?
She's gone.
Exactly.
Things are different now.
Things are different.
You know, you could find a new relationship two, three years.
You know, we got somebody, we got rid of Cuomo.
They're gone.
You know, we might clean house a little more.
So John and I, we were also talking about where this guy goes.
He probably gets a government insider job.
That's what I would assume.
Like he maybe gets a podcast.
But let's just start playing it.
Let's watch Brian the clown stelter sit here and just, I can't even believe he says these things, but sure, why not?
Maybe, maybe he'll be turned into Glenn Beck.
Glenn Beck kind of broke out of the system and has actually been doing a lot more positive than negative.
And I will always give him credit for that.
You got to remember, Glenn Beck was on CNN and then was going too far for CNN.
That was, again, that was around the 2010 mark, and then Fox picked him up.
See, even Glenn Beck was kind of their conservative and they realized, well, he was getting too big and he was kind of on a leash, but he was their attack dog for 9-11 Truth.
And by the way, everybody, if you hear all these Sandy Hook pundits, what are they bringing up now?
9-11 Truth.
You're not allowed to have an opinion on that.
They're coming for you.
They're coming for the real deal truth.
For people to equate Sandy Hook skepticism or people that are talking about no children dying with 9-11 is repugnant and repulsive, and they know exactly what they're doing.
And they're coming after one of the largest events in history that has been misrepresented by reliable sources like this one.
Hey, I am Brian Stelter.
I am live in New York.
And this is still reliable sources.
Looks like he wants to cry.
All right.
Here we go.
One of the big.
All right.
Here we go.
Biggest media stories of the week is right here.
It's the end of this show.
CNN has canceled reliable sources.
Yes, the longest running program on the network.
NPR's David Folkenflick broke the news on Thursday.
Can you imagine being the guy that runs the longest standing program on the network into the ground?
They don't just replace you, they cancel the whole show because you've tainted it that much.
You must be proud, Brian.
I have a lot of thoughts about it, but I'm going to save those.
They can never use reliable sources again.
It's just You have to scrub that whole phrase from the network.
Yeah, it's done.
There's no more Bernesian talking point.
They can't use reliable sources anymore.
Stelter has killed it.
To this hour.
As most of you know, CNN has a new owner.
Warner Brothers Discovery is making big changes across the company.
And there's going to be more change all across the company, including here at CNN.
And I'm sad that I won't be here to cover it.
We're not.
But since this is our final episode, we're going to do something a little bit differently today.
This entire hour, it's a special hour.
And it's about change.
It's about change all across the media world.
Listen, that change across the media world, the real change, Brian, that happened almost two decades ago now, okay?
It happened about 2005, 2006, when guys like me came on the scene, guys like Rudowski came on the scene.
People said, you know what?
We didn't even have the phone cameras then.
Okay, Brian?
What we had was these handy cams.
And we actually went and asked real questions of politicians and people in the media like yourself, snakes like yourself.
And we built this whole thing called independent media.
And pioneers like Alex Jones, who started on shortwave radio and public access, built up their own media organizations.
And then these little devices, Brian, they got so good that we were able to stream in high death live and use social media.
And by that point, well, you guys were in the grave.
And that's like 2010, 11.
And people.
We got to the point where an average person can film the thing as it's happening and upload it.
And people everywhere can see directly from the source the thing happening in real time or almost immediately after.
We don't need somebody to tell us about it and break it down and explain to us how we're supposed to feel about it.
We get to see it live.
Yeah, we don't need your edits.
We don't need your commentary, right?
We don't need you telling us that some kid who shows up for a field trip in a red MAGA hat is a Nazi and a bigot and a racist and a white supremacist.
We don't need that, buddy.
You know what I'm saying?
We don't need that.
So your job was basically to be a mouthpiece for the people that were buying into the scenario.
We've already devastated your media landscape and continue to to the point where now we're censored all over the place.
We're not on certain platforms.
The algorithm openly works against us.
So, Brian, what the truck are you talking about, bro?
What's changing?
What might change?
And what must never change about the accountability function of journalism?
You have no accountability, or you'd be in prison for what you've promoted.
Yeah, if it was illegal to like lie on news.
It's over.
Yeah, he's done.
Yeah.
You know, I love this show.
This small but mighty show punched above its weight for so many years.
Never.
Never did.
Even a former president commented on the cancellation.
Reliable Sources has been a one-of-a-kind show and a popular show.
This is one of CNN's highest-rated weekend shows.
Overall, for 30 years, yeah, because it's one of the first around.
But when you took over it, let me show you what the ratings went down to.
Whoa!
Oh, Brian.
They were piss poor, brother.
Stop your lies.
Reliable sources.
He killed the most popular show.
He did.
He literally killed it.
So I want to say thank you to all of you watching watching around the world.
I was lucky to be a part of it for nine years, but it began 30 years ago, right after the Gulf War.
So here's what the iconic former CNN CEO Tom Johnson said on Facebook.
Let me just stop that there.
You notice what he just said, everybody.
Oh, after the Gulf War.
Well, I want to put that in front of John.
We're going to bring it on over here so John can see it too.
But let's just type in CNN in our little future strategic warfare document.
Redefine risk, minimal casualties, salutes CNN syndrome.
What's CNN syndrome?
Okay?
Sensitivity to casualties greatly enhanced by the CNN syndrome.
Hmm, CNN syndrome.
Coming up in this warfare document, Brian.
Post-Gulf War, Brian.
Let's exploit it.
So this is a whole thing.
Certainly, certainly isn't anything related.
No, of course not.
So anybody can look this up.
Basically, we had the Gulf War and it was the first televised war.
And the network that was covering it 24-7-365 was the 24-7-365 network, CNN.
We weren't accustomed to that.
Me and John's generation.
Embedded reporters.
It was like channel 15 for me, John.
It was above that 10 mark, right?
So it was above local cable and your major networks.
This was rare.
This is when you still had buttons on the television, guys, that you would go down to.
All right.
So they realized, wow, this box is like magic for psychological warfare.
In fact, we could capture and torture Americans in living color on prime time.
We could cause terror attacks within the continental United States, binary biological critical infrastructure takedown, EMP, RF against brains.
Like they literally talk about brain warfare in this document from 2001.
I want to put that out there.
But on the bottom, it says serious psychological warfare, collateral damage exploitation.
I don't know, maybe if a terrorist attack, I mean, this is pre-9-11, but if planes went into buildings and we watched thousands of people die in real time, we would be able to exploit that collateral damage to, I don't know, a war on terror and a surveillance state.
So at the same time, he talks about this show, reliable sources, being erected after the Gulf War to exploit CNN syndrome.
Continue, Clown Man.
When he heard the show was canceled, he said about the show's origins.
It was founded by Ted Turner and leaders of CNN who felt very deeply that media organizations have a responsibility to report and to evaluate the journalism profession itself.
That was the idea.
It was a great idea.
It is a great idea.
And I know many of you are just like Johnson.
You're going to miss this show.
I want to say thank you to the thousands and thousands and thousands of emails and tweets that I've been receiving this week.
I would say the vast majority of them either highly delusional, mentally ill people on a slew of pharmaceutical medications and bots.
That would be the combo pack that was sending Brian Stelter or anybody else emails.
I'm going to share them with the staff because they are the ones that have made this possible.
You know, the thing about TV is that it's ephemeral, right?
It's fleeting.
It evaporates up into the air and a lot of it is not even meant to be, a lot of it's not even meant to be remembered.
What?
A lot of it's not even meant to be remembered.
Well, let me tell you, there's a little bit of truth in that because they want you to believe that there was an agenda to push weapons of mass destruction.
They want you to believe there wasn't an agenda to make you believe in Russian collusion.
It's just an accident.
It's just a thing.
Forget about the COVID-19 narrative that they fed you.
Or that this guy.
They don't want you to remember that.
They don't want you to have any kind of memory.
Just the talking point and what is the new thing.
So he's actually being truthful as he stutters and he's red faced.
He looks like he's going to cry.
I mean, how much crying do you think he's done this week?
A lot of crying, John?
He looks like a crier.
This program transcended that.
It's a part of journalism school curriculum.
Teachers across the country and in other countries outside the U.S., teachers use segments from this show all the time in classrooms, in lessons.
You see what they're promoting?
Well, they're like, this is how delusional.
This is his send-off, guys.
We're in la-la land.
This is what they're playing.
Guiding and teaching the next generation.
You know, founding host Bernard Kalbin, founding executive producer Rick Davis, said this program was meant to be a critical lens on the media.
It was a critical lens on the media.
Reliable source.
First of all, reliable sources, when you do go back, at least give them credit to like the Gulf War and beyond.
What they used to do is interview real people all the time.
They'd be on the scene, like it or not, a lot of it was military propaganda where we were, you know, a lot of General Schwartzkopf, especially post-Gulf War, when they were preparing you for new threats, that type of thing.
But for the most part, you have the CNN contributors and you have Brian Stelter.
And then they play clips of Tucker Carlson or Donald Trump or whoever the right-wing darling is.
And that's about it.
That's all they do.
They don't do any actual reporting.
And this thing wasn't started to be some kind of lens on the media.
It used to be a media operation that promoted mostly propaganda.
But now it was basically a talking head that promoted nothing but propaganda and the narrative and really counter reality.
Such a special phrase, a critical lens on the media.
And this week, thanks to CNN management, we've been given the gift of signing off on our own terms and actually talking about the media industry.
You know, this is a really, really unusual day.
TV networks rarely have a show like this, a show all about the media.
And networks, even more rarely, cancel a show but still let it have one more live episode.
CNN's Media Self-Reflection 00:11:09
I don't know if I've ever seen this happen before, okay?
Look how look at that face.
I don't know if I've ever seen this happen.
Yeah, I'm canceled, but they gave me one more go.
They let me have one more.
Okay.
Well, I saw a bunch of smoke up her ass about how reliable of a source she was.
So here we are.
Yeah, I was good.
Wasn't I so good?
I was really good.
No.
No, you weren't.
Thank you.
In a super strange situation.
So let's talk about it, okay?
The phenomenal reliable sources producing team has been working around the clock on this special hour ever since Thursday.
No one from CNN management has reviewed my script ahead of time.
They have no idea what I want to say.
And as the control room very well knows, I typically go off script anyway.
So I want to thank a few people and then tell you what's going on.
First, I want to thank my wife.
This is a selfie that she snapped on the very first day.
The very first day I had the honor of posting this show.
All I'm saying, guys, is I would assume this is a show marriage.
I highly doubt that Brian Stelter is not with, let's just say, other people.
That one will eventually come out.
Just a guess.
That's a guess for me.
I don't know if that's true or not.
That's Jason Burmese speculation.
I just want to put that out there.
Right before we're about to get married.
Before all the kids, for all the craziness.
But every Sunday I was here with you, my home team was working too.
So thank you, Jamie.
And my kids, my amazing kids.
You know, sometimes I see, it feels like the only time they ever really want to play with me at home is when I'm running out the door to work.
They're going to be in a surprise this week, right?
May God have mercy on that man's poor children.
That's all I'm going to say.
I mean, listen, obviously, he's a fake and a facade and probably doesn't believe half of what he puts out there.
But may God have mercy on those poor, poor children that are being raised by this clown show.
It almost looks like they're photoshopped.
Thank you to Jeff Zucker for believing in me.
It's just me.
It looks like those aren't his hands, maybe.
His head's just photoshopped in the back.
Yeah, like that's somebody else taking care of his kids and having a good time with them.
And they're like, all right, get him out of here.
Yeah, he just put his head in there.
For having the back of this organization for so many years, for having my back through everything, even through the death threats.
He brought up the death.
Listen, Brian, you're not that big of a threat.
I'm sure you infuriate people, and there may be some mentally ill loser, but boy, the death threats.
I mean, you're Johnny on the spot with any type of mainstream media narrative.
You are Jimmy Bootlicker.
They love you.
Death threats?
That's what you are.
This cartoon.
Cartoon.
Thank you to Amy and Tellis for calling me that day and asking me to try out for reliable sources.
Thank you to Andrew Morse for letting me expand the Sunday show into a newsletter and a podcast and more.
And this might sound weird, but thank you to CNN's current boss, Chris Licht, for letting us say goodbye.
Thank you to everyone at CNN Business for digital leadership.
Thank you to my hero of an executive producer, Jonathan Auerbach, and the producing team that makes this possible.
Jamie, Diane, Eden, April, I will do whatever I can to help you all in the future.
No, you won't.
Thank you to the technical staff, the control room geniuses, the editors, the floor directors, the PR people, the camera operators, the guest greeters.
The PR people.
Wow.
Yeah.
The guest greeters.
Those are important.
This guy is, again, I mean, like, he's really fishing here for, oh boy, I really love the little guy.
We couldn't do this without the little guy.
Makeup artists, you are CNN's sources for you.
I do.
We need you.
Little guy.
Some of you know I've been a media junkie for a long time.
I was the kid who spent his days building the school website and producing the school TV show.
And deep down inside, I think I'm still that kid.
I never thought it'd actually be on TV.
I might have dreamed about it.
I never thought it would happen.
I just liked writing about TV.
I can't believe they put you on television, to be quite honest.
I mean, my God.
My God.
You know, I once did write.
That's the best they could find.
I saw Stelter covering the 2008 election when I was at the Republican debates.
You know, he was on the phone, very little, frumpy man.
And I don't think he had his own.
I think it was like State of the Union, one of the guys that's still there.
He was like the guy they were trying to push and it didn't work out.
But Stelter didn't have his own show at the time.
I knew who he was.
And I just like, man, that life has got to suck.
You're in that suit all the time.
You're playing pretend.
You're on the phone.
You're not, you can't even be yourself.
It's so ugh.
I know this is going to sound like BS, but I actually thought I didn't have enough hair to be on TV.
I am just that kid who loves television and loves the internet and thinks that these are incredibly powerful forces in our society and believes that we need to interrogate that power and face it head on and figure out how to make these tools work for us and not against us.
Bullshit.
For who?
For your masters?
Exactly what they're doing.
So yeah, yeah, the internet and television.
Yeah, they've been used pretty badly to propagate against regular people there, Brian.
The idea, again, look, this is what reliable sources used to be.
People sitting around going over real news stories.
They would cut to that.
This is what it ended up.
It was so bad, they couldn't even return.
Yes.
Dictating you how to feel and think about everything.
Yes.
And humpty-dumpty.
About, right?
That's what reliable sources have been about.
It's documented and dissected the changing media world for 30 years.
I mean, we're living through an era of dizzying change.
We have supercomputers in our pocket.
We are all members of the media now.
That's probably the biggest change that's happened while this show was on the air.
And by the way, that's why it's loony to say the media is the enemy of the people.
The media is the people.
Should be.
People are flawed and opinionated and curious and hopeful and believing in accountability.
Guy's never been accountable in his life.
That's the watchword here.
Accountable.
He may be losing his job now.
So this show's going away, but there's going to be so many more.
We need to have room for media criticism and debating discussion, and we will.
So much of the media ecosystem in 2022 is garbage, but so much of it is spectacular.
The hard parting out the treasure from the trash.
Not that hard.
There's like three decent, and they're not even that great people in the media right now that's mainstream.
Everybody else is not allowed on television.
You go to like Australia, you'll find like one or two of those people there, too.
You know, they're talking on Sky News.
Unfortunately, it seems to be Murdoch operations right now.
But Keith Olberman, back in the day when you didn't have a show, but you were still on CNN, Brian, he was the most, I would say, reliable source on MSNBC.
Now, MSNBC, nobody can watch that.
You're lumped in with the Scarboroughs of the world, okay?
You're lumped in with Rachel Maddow forever.
Like dishonest, angry, ugly people that don't care about lying.
These are thorny, complicated things.
I know I never had all the answers.
I didn't even always have all the questions.
But it was the gift of a lifetime to get to confront these issues on international television with the backing of CNN.
Here's what I do know.
I know it's not partisan to stand up for decency and democracy and dialogue.
It's not democracy.
Again, these guys are the ones that went around dialogue, even.
Yeah.
You're an election denier.
And open dialogue.
Really?
That's what you're promoting?
Okay.
The big lie.
Like, whenever I hear about the quote-unquote big lie in relation to the 2020 election, all I can think of is what are you the big lie is associated with, again, Nazism and the Holocaust that they were denying was happening.
You know, they were, oh, it's the big lie.
We're not doing this.
We're not killing gypsies and Jews and we're not rounding up our political enemies and we're not conducting eugenics against lesser people who are physically disabled.
No, no, that's a big lie.
It's like, what are you talking about?
The big lie.
How dare you?
How dare you indeed?
Partisan to stand up to demagogues.
It's required.
It's patriotic.
We must make sure we don't give platforms to those who are lying to our faces.
Oh, see, there it is right there.
We don't give platforms to people that are lying to your faces.
And yet there he sits.
And he sat for nine years with an ultimate platform where he's an authoritative source.
He's reliable sources.
He doesn't want us to have it.
Okay?
But we also must make sure we are representing the full spectrum of debate and representing what's going on in this country and in this world.
That's why CNN needs to be strong.
That's why I believe CNN will always be strong.
You, you viewers at home, it's on you.
CNN must remain strong.
I know the 4,500 staffers are going to do their part to make it stronger than ever.
But it's going to be on you to hold CNN accountable and not just CNN.
You got to hold your local paper accountable.
You got to hold your local paper.
Those things aren't even really around.
Local paper can be.
Kill off.
I mean, you're lucky if you have a seven-day a week or really six because most of them have the weekend edition paper.
That's it.
Most of them are down to the weekend edition or they're subsidized by some other group like the Sinclair group.
What do you, this guy's a joke?
Local digital outlet accountable.
It's on all of us.
We are all members of the media, all helping to make it better.
That's what I believe.
I can't wait to be watching CNN, seeing what happens in the future.
I'm going to be rooting for it.
I want CNN to be strong.
I believe America needs CNN to be strong.
I believe the free world needs CNN to be strong.
And it will continue to be because all of us are going to help make that happen.
I mean, come on.
I can't help myself.
It's out of control.
Stelter.
Fitch, I got all sorts of fun videos for today.
We'll see what we get to.
This very good because that one made me feel icky.
This one's kind of fun.
Watching like a tub of goo, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, it's kind of a guilty pleasure.
Like, I can see him like already watching CNN with a big tub of popcorn, but not like popcorn that he's going to share with people and not like buttered like you'd expect.
It's got just caramel all over it, and he's got a big jar of peanut butter that he's just gripping out with his hand and pawing it as he cries into his popcorn and just eats as much of it as he can, maybe in a diaper of some sort.
Like he's just naked in the bed, peanut butter, caramel popcorn, 80-inch screen, just crying his eyes out watching his replacement.
ATF Agent in Black Outfits 00:07:59
I know that's vivid and probably not real, folks, but that's how I'm picturing it.
So, this is from June 15th, 1995.
And I saw that Jones played a clip of this, and there's something about the New World Order, weather warfare, starving out the populace that I thought was interesting.
And I wanted to get the entire clip.
This is like almost a three-hour hearing.
We're probably going to play, I don't know, five to ten minutes of it.
I think it is extremely relevant.
Number one, because you're never going to see this again.
Okay, this is you're never going to see the Senate talking to people that they're accusing of being a threat.
Like they're saying the militia movement is a threat.
These are the building blocks to what we are now at of white supremacy, domestic terrorists, bigots.
We need to stop them.
The talks of a civil war that they're trying to red flag stuff.
All of it.
Any excuse to go into somebody's house and search for whatever they want.
Exactly.
And Fred Thompson told me.
What is that?
Fourth Amendment.
Well, yeah, to be Fourth Amendment is to be secure in your persons and properties.
Essentially, no search without a warrant, probable cause, all those things.
Yeah, they want to destroy that.
Yes.
And look, not everybody's in a military uniform.
There's a lot of guys in this, and the two guys that we're going to feature here are not in military uniforms.
And they're actually really intelligent as they're responding to these questions.
The IRS agents are going to come for you.
Well, there's a talk of the IRS agents in this.
It's kind of funny.
Later on, I'm not sure if we're going to get that far in the clip.
I'm probably going to review the whole thing and maybe play some other clips.
But let's start with this right here, where essentially this gentleman, it's kind of wild, guys.
Let's just get into it because there's a joke actually made about the IRS right in the very beginning.
All right.
Mr. Fletcher, as I mentioned in my statement, the Militia of Montana claims that there are, quote, lesbians, sex perverts, child molester advocates, Christian haters, and the most doctrinaire of communists heading the FBI and the IRS.
Now, Mr. Fletcher, with respect to the IRS, I have no quarrel with you.
Ha ha, he's got jokes.
Think about what was just said there.
I mean, that became kind of popular in pop culture that the pedophiles and the child molesters and those guys are in charge of the FBI much later, didn't it?
But again, 1995, a little ahead of the curve.
So be it, sir.
But my friend Lewis Free is a different matter.
So I would like to ask you: are you suggesting that he is a lesbian or a sex pervert, a child molester advocate, or a Christian hater or a communist?
Well, first off, that's not my quote.
So for the record, we clear that.
And I think that comes out of a singular book that we carry, the same as the library carries, and that's the extent of that.
Now, those people that live inside the beltway have to select their own friends and figure out what their sexual status is.
And there's a huge variety at the highest levels of this government in that direction.
What I would like to point out, though, that you bring up Mr. Free.
And an interesting thing has taken place actually almost a year ago, July the 2nd.
Mr. Free was in Poland and he made a Nazi-related speech and it was a memorial to the Jewish camps and the Holocaustic action that took place there.
And he said an interesting statement.
He said that what happened 50 years ago is not just a history as much as it is a warning.
And Mr. Free said that in fact, at any time that any nation of the world starts to utilize local police with their federal enforcement and starts to federally arm the police at a local level, as Adolf Hitler did as he slowly came in and did his outrageous acts back in 1940 and 38.
He said that anytime we see this, it's an immediate red flag that that nation is probably moving into a dictatorship.
Now, I want you to think about that, folks.
Now, when you talk about local police, these IRS agents that they're hiring right now, you're seeing like the clown show, right?
Everybody's looking at those clips of elderly people, out-of-shape people, high school dropouts, it looks like in some cases.
Your idea what they're doing.
They've probably never shot a gun before in their life, but they're carrying fake guns.
So those are some kind of weird psyop.
I think they're also gearing them up because they're showing them, listen, we're going after small business owners.
They're letting you know with the acts of $600.
They're letting you know you're paying for it.
You know, subtly, it's just like inflation was transitory and it's not.
And so we've already seen the militarization of police on a large scale 20 plus years later, okay?
But what he's talking about is really now going to come home to roost where these federal agents are going to have state departments and we're seeing more and more of, for instance, in Missouri, you had the governor say, we're not helping federal agents go through our gun registry.
That's not part of the, they've requested it, and they said we're not doing it.
But let's just continue here because this guy is pretty spot on.
Well, within a single year, we start supplying local police agencies with armored personnel carriers.
This, by the way, is just the Sheriff's Department.
Those are not military.
This is the Sheriff's Department in Everett, Washington.
These armored personnel vehicles are being supplied by federal enforcing agents to a whole variety of local police agencies.
This is exactly part of what Mr. Free was telling the folks in Poland and the rest of the world to be aware of as a sign of moving in a dictatorship.
This is only one small part of that, sir.
This is what I would refer to as a terrorist.
These are FBI enforcing agents dressed in their black outfits.
This, sir, is an ATF agent in its black outfits.
This used to be a terrorist.
If an American saw this character going down the street, any American, 10, 15 years ago, they would have shot this sucker because this is a picture of a terrorist.
This is now the ATF agents.
We have questions relative to Mr. Going beyond Mr. Free's point of hundreds of flat cars of United Nations Russian equipment all over the United States.
We have questions as to why the United States Army, with this document I have here, has put together the regulations to create civilian inmate labor prison camps inside military bases.
Those are the questions.
We have questions why under executive orders, the President of the United States sends $200 million to build Russian homes for Russian soldiers overseas.
Thank you.
I'd like to just get on to Mr. Fletcher.
Another question on the interview with the Los Angeles Times on April 21st, you said that you told the Associated Press that the American government has created weather tampering techniques so that the new world order will be able to starve millions of Americans and to control the rest.
Would you explain what you were trying to say?
So I want to just stop it here because this is 1995.
Heavy Metals in Sprayed Seeds 00:09:00
This is well before we're talking about genetically modified organisms and Bill Gates being a big, big end of the farmland, right?
This is well before any of that stuff.
And when we're talking about weather manipulation, whether it's geoengineering, solar radiation management, et cetera, we've done shade the motion picture.
A lot of these things that are being sprayed do have heavy metals in them.
Barium, aluminum oxide, etc.
They are going to have a large effect on what we eat.
And what we eat now, we know that the Monsatan seeds have infected almost everything to the point where heirloom seeds are very hard to find and in some cases contaminated, right?
Even the ones they talk about being heirloom, it's very hard to get real heirloom seeds.
They're talking about food shortages now.
I just want to put that out, whether it be globally or even here at home.
The shelves are no longer as stocked as they used to be.
Shit's out all the time, John.
I know you're in California.
You probably see it more than I do.
But I saw it heavy in Virginia.
I'm starting to see it now in Iowa where I never thought I would see it, right?
But on varying things, there's not as much of a selection.
There's not as much in stock.
Well, we, you know, the places I go usually have everything, but the shrinkflation is epic right now.
So I used to get like a pretty big bag of scallops for like 47 bucks.
You know, it wasn't cheap.
But now, because of the inflation, because the pricing going up so much, now it's a bag that's about a third, maybe less than a third, maybe a quarter the size of the original bag, but it's another $20.
So it's like $67 for something that's a third, maybe a quarter of the size of the original bag.
The meat's getting more expensive.
Like I'm looking into ways to buy bigger pieces of meat for cheaper per pound.
That way, maybe cut it up and freeze some of it.
That's what I've been doing.
I went on a cow.
I've got a freezer in the side.
It was one of the best things I did six months ago because now when I want a steak, I just unfreeze it.
And not only does it taste better generally than what you get at a grocery store, but you get it between, well, who knows what you're going to get it for now, but between $2 and $3 a pound, you know, all the way around.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like there's a big ass piece of like brisket, whatever cut.
And I'm going to think I'm going to get that instead of normal meat packets or whatever where I try that out.
But yeah, like some get a little bit creative with certain things, but you know, bags of shrimp, a lot of things, you know, even some of like the tortilla chips we bought.
We got, we made nachos on Friday night, and the tortilla chips we bought look like, you know, a much smaller bag for a higher price.
It's here.
All right, so let's continue here.
Again, he's talking about the new world order.
He's talking about weather warfare and starving out the populace.
Well, what I was trying to say is exactly what I said.
There is weather control techniques.
We have a complete package on that, which I did not bring, but I certainly will see to it that it is brought in for the record.
Number one, the entire patents on the equipment.
Number two, Senator Claiborne Pell's complete statement and story of his own that not only does it exist, but that we even utilize it as far back as the Vietnam War.
You might want to touch base with Senator.
I just want to repeat before I turn to Corporation.
So, yes, but we do have all that information.
You're saying the government has created weather tampering techniques so that the quote new world order will be able to starve millions of Americans worldwide.
Millions of Americans and to control the rest.
Yes, sir, and that's my belief.
As bizarre as that sounds, when if somebody had told me that that equipment even existed 10 years ago, I would have thought they were nuts, sir.
And at this point in time, we have all the documents to prove it.
And if you think that 85 tornadoes take place in the middle of our growing area by simultaneous accident, I'm sorry, with the equipment that's already set up internationally, and as bizarre as that is, it is proven and documented.
We will supply you with those documents.
As bizarre as that is, I would say that weather wars, and this is quoting actually Senator Claiborne Pell himself, that they are the greatest weapon ever created in the world, and that's the senator's own statement.
So, yes, I do stand on that.
Thank you.
Let's not forget that Gates himself also, over a decade ago, started talking about his hurricane machines.
We're going to knock out hurricanes.
Forget about blocking the sun.
I know that made a big comeback this year because they started talking about again.
But he was talking about those type of devices.
These are real technologies.
This is 95.
So I think Fred Thompson is next.
And Fred Thompson acts very sympathetic.
He was around during the war on terror.
He was trying to be a voice of reason bullshit.
You've seen him.
Fred Thompson also, he was on a lot of shows.
He was like a TV guy, like almost like Jimmy Carville.
You might recognize him.
Now, he says some reasonable things, and now he's really concerned.
But we still got signature reduction.
We still got Homeland Security.
We still got a security state aimed at, you know, the American people right now and massive censorship.
So when he goes to this other guy, this other guy is just spot-on about everything.
Thank you, Mr. Fletcher.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you very much, Senator Cole.
Senator Feinstein?
He's not here.
Pardon me.
mr johnson uh whether or not one agrees with your statement i think you gave a very thoughtful statement uh thought-provoking as to what you perceive to be going on in the country and the concerns You mentioned the problems, as you said, with our government.
You talk about the tax rates being too high.
You talk about the government being too big, too intrusive, and all those things.
Many of us have gotten bigger.
Many of us.
Many of us are also concerned about it and are trying to do something about it.
Oh, you did a lot, Fred.
You talked about the British, our revolution, other places around the world.
Not a lot about talk about that.
We couldn't vote King George out of office.
The difference between us and other countries is that we do have a democratic society and one in which huge numbers of people don't even bother to vote.
But we have an opportunity to change just about all the things that you listed.
That's a problem.
And we did.
I take it that you think that our system is broken down.
Our electoral process in some way is broken down.
Either it's really not free and open or maybe we shouldn't go by democratic processes.
What's your problem with working through the process to solve these problems?
You know, there was an organization, I believe, came out back in September and said that the militia's aim was clearly the democratic process itself.
And my response to that was that our aim was, our target was right on target right around November the 8th when a whole new Congress came in here.
Fine, granted.
Now, we advocate that more than everything, voting.
But we seem to have a problem here during these campaigns when all of these wonderful politicians, God love them, say whatever they're going to say and they get inside the beltway and everything is, how do we say, politics as usual?
Now, what's going on as this trend continues?
And you guys got to listen to this.
You're pushing people's backs against the wall out there.
We got people out there hungry like I'm talking about, people out there starving, and people tired of getting terrorized by law enforcement.
Well, I shouldn't say law enforcement.
I will support law enforcement whenever they support the law.
I'll just call them enforcement.
They're getting outright economically terrorized, socially terrorized.
I mean, the political correctness is getting out of hand.
Yeah, the political correctness went over the moon, by the way.
Think about everything he's saying and how relevant it is to right now.
That is why these people are what they're doing, what this militia is.
Now, it's a mindset.
It's the civil rights movement of the 90s.
It's people sitting there with don't tread on me stamped across their forehead.
There's people drawing a line in their sand.
That's what it is.
Nobody's going to go out there and shoot things.
Nobody's going to go out there and blow up things.
We're not baby killers.
We're baby boomers.
We're not terrorists.
We're taxpayers.
We're not extremists.
We're just extremely ticked off at the way the government is deviating away from what's going on around here.
And when I say we as this militia, as this little covert group out there, no, it's everybody.
And just because you call you, just because you say we're going to form ourselves a militia, it doesn't make you the militia.
What we stand here, what we stand for here is a constitution.
That's it.
The Kick Heard Around the World 00:05:55
I'm going to stop it there.
I might do even a bigger video on this.
But he keeps nailing it.
And that's just about as relevant today as it could possibly be.
Only now, instead of just a Senate hearing in the 90s, you have a bunch of actual government and pseudo-government institutions aimed at we the people, aimed at we the people.
So I had some other clips, but we only got like 10 minutes to go.
I had some other stories I wanted to put out there.
Maybe I'll just do a news blitz later on.
Fitch, let's talk the fights.
Let's talk the kick heard around the world.
I think that a lot of people were counting Leon Edwards out, even though he had a really good first round because it looked like business as usual three through four.
Yep.
I just, I'm sorry, man.
Like, he had how many years to prepare for this working on his wrestling.
My ass.
Like, he spent a lot of time with his back on the fence, spent a lot of time not moving, not hustling, not doing anything from his back on the ground.
Like, how do you not put in the time?
How do you not just get put in mount?
How do you not get just smashed in the fence?
And that's all you do.
What are we doing today?
Same thing we did yesterday.
Until you can do it every single time and get up every single time.
I don't get it.
I don't know why these guys are like, I did enough.
I think I did enough.
No, you didn't.
If that's going through your head, I think I did enough.
That's enough.
Nope, you didn't do enough.
But I mean, he gets the belt.
I mean, he did.
I guess it's not.
Yeah, I know.
He kept in the fight.
He didn't give up.
But I mean, I feel like he needs to do a lot of work.
Like, he doesn't need to do anything else but that.
Get up over and over and over again, flurry on the pads, get back down, have to get up again.
That's it.
Just work on that for the rematch.
Because he made that fight way harder than it needed to be.
You know, I think Usman has tons of holes in his game, and a good striker, I think, can easily take advantage of him.
I think if Colby would have actually wrestled him, it might have been a much different fight, a much different outcome, but it was a sloppy boxing match.
And I don't think, you know, he's fought great strikers necessarily.
I don't think a lot of the 170 guys are that great.
Well, I'll tell you what, man.
Right now, I felt like the first round, you know, Edwards looked pretty good.
I thought, again, rounds two through five.
Like, he got to position and pull the trigger.
Like, he fought hard, got that position.
I was kind of like hanging out a lot, you know, the rest of the fight.
The way the first fight went, it was only three rounds, and it was way earlier in their careers.
It was basically lay and prey, ground and pound, enough to win via Usman.
It seemed like he was happy with that same scenario after the first round.
Like, he tried to strike with him.
He was coming up kind of short.
You wonder if Leon Edwards even gets that opportunity if Herb Dean doesn't take them off the fence.
A lot of people aren't talking about that, but with 90 seconds or so to go in the fight, maybe it was two minutes.
And that's when he pulled him off the fence, and Leon Edwards got to square up with him again, throw that kind of lazy left hand.
It wasn't that lazy.
It just wasn't.
No, you throw him to get the guy to slip his head outside.
I mean, the technique was there.
You know what I mean?
You know, it just wasn't an all-out either.
You're supposed to slip your hands up.
Yeah, didn't do it.
But like guys always do this.
They look cool.
All I'm saying is, you know what?
The guy walks away with his paycheck.
Kick in the face.
I don't know if he fights Usman right away, but I would assume they give him a rematch.
Yeah, I would think, I would like to see them throw somebody else in there, mix it up, bring some more energy to the weight class.
I think so.
But, you know what?
Then do you ever have, if Leon Edwards loses that rematch, who knows if that happens?
But I think that's the better play.
We'll see.
You know, maybe Usman, it's time to take six months off.
A kick to the head is never great.
He might want to get in there in three months.
Who knows?
Let's talk Michael Venom Page and Michael Perry, BKFC.
It was fun.
It was a fun fight.
Michael Perry made that fight fun, though.
Yeah, Michael, because I don't think Venom is cut out.
He has a taekwondo stance.
So he's very linear.
He's used to using his kicks.
And then his strikes are all just one, two, one.
The thing is.
He's short shots and whatever things.
And then he's used to creating space and getting away.
But the ring's so much smaller in the bare knuckle.
He can't strike and then get out.
So he strikes and then clinches.
So it's kind of.
And there's no threat of his knees.
You know, forget about a clinch where he can give knees to the body, but then his head, you know, this is a guy that has many jumping knee victories.
And that threat is there to keep that distance.
Michael Perry, you know, I thought it was a close fight.
I kind of like to see the last round because it already looked like Venom Page had given up.
Michael Perry catches him in the first round, I think, with like a left hook as Venom Page was coming in.
That's the sole knockdown.
But yeah, I don't think his style is any good for BKFC.
I think he should take the payday, get out of here.
Hands down, too.
It's just, it's not, you know, it's not good for that setup.
And if he's going to be, I mean, he could take advantage.
If he'd learn how to clinch and hand fight a little bit, he could damage guys bad because then he could punch his way in, grab the clinch, and then manipulate the guy because you can hold and hit.
Oh man, my uh camera power.
That's all right, we're towards the end.
John Fitch, Net 00:01:11
We could just do uh audio, all right?
But I think that uh it got it got hot, it might have overheated.
It looks like you got an overheated camera.
That's what happens here when we're top of the line.
It's good to be back on mixed martial mindset.
