Trump *THREATENS* BANNING Media, DEMANDS Killing Bill NOW | Press Act & Censorship
FULL TRANSCRIPT
well Donald Trump is back to freaking
out about the mainstream media and now
he's demanding the killing of the press
act in case you don't know what that is
I'll give you a quick primer basically
it is a bill that has already been
passed by the house which is interesting
because the house is Republican
controlled and it's now pending the
Senate's passing which is controlled 51
to 49 by democrats Donald Trump wants
this bill to be killed the Press Act is
known as the protect reporters from
exploitive estate spying act Yeah so
basically when a journalist conducts an
investigation or a whistleblower leaks
them information or somebody working at
a company leaks something to a
journalist journalists are often
provided what's known as a journalistic
protection those are enshrined in law in
about 49 different states and they
protect journalists from a whole host of
their sources being revealed even in
court cases and the idea is that
journalists are supposed to be able to
use that protection to let people trust
the journalist that the journalist will
keep that person's identity secret so
let's say you were working for Bernie
maid off and you're like man I wish I
could get this out that Bernie maid off
is a Ponzi and this is all a scam what
do I do well you could call the New York
Times basically and go yo Sky of Ponzi
CES some evidence please don't tell
anyone about this because Bernie's going
to have me killed well Donald Trump does
not like that protection Donald Trump
wants to make sure that protection is
removed because he does not like that
journalists can leak information and
then have their sources protected
because he calls the mainstream media
fake news disinformation propaganda
agency and frankly that's potentially at
least in his opinion more aligned with
the left and the right but it's also not
just his opinion consider this 70% of
Americans if you go back 50 years 70% of
Americans per Gallop polls on a survey
they did right before the election used
to trust the media great or fair deal
well I guess that survey goes back 50
years that goes back 50 years 70% used
to trust the media a quote great or Fair
Deal that is now down to just
31% of Republicans actually trust the
mainstream media a great or Fair Deal oh
I'm sorry I misread that for all
Americans that is just down to
31% so in other words you've more than
haved the level of trust in the
mainstream media but what I actually
wrote here is amongst Republicans you're
down to
12% trust at a fair or great deal so
even fair do you trust the mainstream
media a fair deal 88% of Republicans say
no and only about half of Democrats 54%
say yes so huge political divide here
and a lot of people think the mainstream
media in part because of what we've seen
with Donald Trump's attack on the
mainstream media since 2016 many cases
rightfully so the media's come after him
like crazy uh because honestly anything
having to do with Trump gets a whole lot
of clicks and attention whether it's
true or not and so Donald Trump is now
uh freaking out over this particular
bill because he actually wants to go
after the people that in his mind did
him wrong listen to this truth social
post I don't know about you but I'm not
going to forgive over eight years of
Russia hoaxes spying by ex-presidents
two fake impeachments a lab created
pandemic forced lockdowns forced
vaccines law fair election fraud police
political prisoners Ashley babbit a
weaponized two-tier justice system open
borders a war on oil continuously
funding proxy wars and censorship not in
a million years your judgment day is
coming this is a pretty big threat and
obviously not all of that has to do with
media Independence but Donald Trump has
made it clear by also posting on Truth
quote Republicans must kill this bill
and so let's analyze for a moment sort
of the pros and cons of this bill uh a
few things to note before that there are
now memes circulating that Elon Musk
might end up buying
MSNBC I I never put anything past these
things from actually happening anymore
because it seems like the most ironic
things just keep happening over and over
again but anyway Elon Musk potentially
buying MSNBC and then kicking out some
of the hosts that they don't like and
replacing them potentially with Joe
Rogan maybe giving Joe Ro Rogan a prime
time slot on MSNBC honestly be kind of
cool Donald Trump has also some
additional background here has also
talked about weaponizing the Federal
Communications Commission and
potentially revoking media licenses from
companies like CBS NBC ABC and even Fox
Pro the financial times so there's a lot
here so let's look at sort of pros and
cons of this this press act for a moment
first of all 49 states already have laws
protecting or shielding journalists for
things like this
the problem is they don't apply
uniformly across all the states and they
don't protect you from federal subpoenas
from like the Department of Justice or
the FBI which some believe would be bad
because it would give the federal
government the power to basically spy on
journalists or subena records or
potentially I mean practically speaking
Donald Trump being like yo find out who
leaked this and then sort of getting to
the bottom of it using the courts as
sort of his tool if you will that would
be possible if you kill the Press act or
if it doesn't pass for whatever reason I
suspect it will pass you would need it
to happen during the lame duck session
here so Democrats need to pass it they
have the votes to do it and then Biden
would need to sign it Republicans
already gave up their opportunity to say
no on it uh that's because the house
already passed it now we'll see it's
possible that if the Senate makes any
changes to it it could get pushed back
to the house for approval for Amendment
approvals and then they could just sit
on it and sandbag because as soon as
Trump tells the house or the Senate to
do a certain thing they kind of seem to
do it because they also want to get
reelected and they realize the power of
supporting Trump and how bad of an idea
it is not to support Trump anyway uh
consider for a moment like out of I
think it was the 10 uh reps who voted to
impeach Donald Trump I think eight or
nine of them at least eight of them have
lost their job since then so there's
huge power in in having Trump on side if
you're a republican uh anyway so uh the
issue again is that the Press act would
basically extend these state laws to all
states but then it would also give you
protection against Federal subpoenas doj
subpoenas FBI subpoenas uh it's
basically considered a shield against
government overreach or the government
from spying on a journalist uh but there
are some critics to this and and this is
where some of Donald Trump's povs come
from as well now I want to touch on that
but I quickly want to apologize uh
yesterday on the roboh Haack website we
still have this problem at the moment we
had a little oopsy doopsy uh where
basically DocuSign locked our account
because too many people signed up or
were trying to sign up for roboh Haack
uh and it broke our account so we're
we're working on fixing that if you want
you could email us at uh invest at roboh
hack. and we will gladly send you the
corrected link just if you can let us
know if you're looking for a link for a
single signer dual signer uh or entity
signer but I just personally wanted to
apologize for that uh I hope to have
these links fixed today you could see
those on screen here you can even toggle
dark mode which I think is kind of cool
but anyway what is Robo Haack you can
see it here it's the Venture Capital
these buttons are broken right now sorry
about that we're getting them fixed with
DocuSign it's just docy sign's customer
service isn't that great I apologize
oliz for that I just anyway I wanted to
acknowledge this so yes email us uh the
emails right there invest roboh hack.
ask you know hey I need the correct link
for entity individual or couple and
we'll get that uh we'll get that over to
you anyway thank you for your faith but
also sorry so now let's keep going back
to what Donald Trump's talking about so
why is Donald Trump freaking out about
wanting this dead uh well mostly because
a lot of people think he's going to use
this is an opportunity to to go after
his journalists or the journalist
enemies that he has and people who say
bad things about the Trump organization
or otherwise however if you to go to
more of a sort of Centrist approach on
this as to why it could be bad to have
these protections uh the protections
would potentially allow journalists who
have an agenda to conceal the identity
of people who are lying or defaming
companies or providing false information
misinformation or disinformation see
theoretically if somebody works for
let's say the Trump organization and
then they fabricate on a letterhead you
know an invoice that's like you know um
Donald Trump's hookers you know 69
hookers for Donald Trump and it's on the
Trump letterhead the person works for uh
Trump or whatever and then they send
that to the New York Times the New York
Times is like oh well that person
actually works there and we're talking
to them face to face okay this seems
credible this seems legitimate they're a
bookkeeper for Trump or whatever oh man
and then when they write the story it
turns into you know uh per documents
reviewed by the New York Times uh
provided by uh you know someone within
the organization who spoke to us on a
condition of anonymity for fear of
Retribution against Donald Trump uh
provided these statements which which we
verified as credible given that the
person works there you know something
like that right so so then they write
the whole story about it now obviously
there's I mean you would hope there's
there's some more due diligence than
that because again it could just be all
be fabricated you know what if the
person has a vendetta against Trump but
then again if a paper has a vendetta
against Trump they might run with it
anyway because they have a personal
Vendetta so so now the person with the
disinfo is shielded and the paper is
shielded from liability so you
potentially have this collusion between
a disinfo Insider and a media Outlet who
both have an agenda of being anti- a
particular candidate and then they could
shape narratives the way they want and
then they're legally protected from
defamation lawsuits in such a case now
that's an example of the abuse which
definitely calls into you know question
the Integrity of of you know our media
system now on the flip side you would
hope that an honest media I know I'm
saying those words an honest media would
not do that and wouldn't air stories
like that or wouldn't have bias uh you
would hope and then if let's say Trump
sued them for disinfo that they would
still be able operate because they're
not getting sued for a billion dollars
because they're just trying to do their
best and provide you know information
and perspective for people to review and
then you know thanks to journalistic
protections they would then be able to
limit their time in court and spend more
time in journalism the problem is really
over the last 10 years and I experienced
this myself as well every single media
outlet has massive biases uh some
substantially less uh some substantially
more like for example I consider uh The
Economist pretty freaking left leaning
but I also consider their facts to be
very high uh then I look at something
like uh the Associated Press and I
consider them mostly neutral and also
highly factual although I know that
there could be oopsy dupsies and then I
look at like the LA Times especially
their editorial board and I think of you
know what they did to me during the
campaign uh and I think of them as the
biggest scum Li lying scumbags ever you
know the same could be said about uh the
New York Times that wrote about me or
certain Sacramento papers the Ventura
County a lot of these were very aligned
with Gavin nusum uh and I'm like wow you
you don't want to air critical
commentary of your Governor because
you're worried about getting kicked out
of the governor Circle which is also an
interesting bias because then it goes in
the opposite direction right somebody
who wants to compete against an existing
power like gome can't because if
somebody fa covers a competitor then
what happens is that Governor goes
you're not invited to my press
conference anymore VC star whereas oh
you bagged on my competitor here you
come front row you know like that's the
kind of rigging that goes on all of the
time uh and I've also seen straight up
lying from companies like CNN where
they're like you know there are no
competitors against gome and I'm like
bro I was you know up in the polls got
like a million votes one San Francisco
what is this so there's also blatant
lying that happens in media so you know
my faith in media has has collapsed
though I I think it's uh um you know I
still try my best to review to find fact
and then corroborate as much as I can
but I tell you it's gotten harder and
and frankly it's gotten exhausting so
anyway uh this gives you a little bit of
an idea of what's going on with Donald
Trump again apologies on the roboh hack.
a website we're going to hopefully get
that fixed within you know today I am
out on vacation with the so so good luck
with um uh you know
markets I'm kidding but it's it's
beautiful right now it's it's uh we're
uh in a in a snowy biome and uh follow
me on Instagram I'll share some videos
that'll be at uh real meet Kevin on in
