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 covering what peoplwith people | scandal. As marshall pointed out, more americans turn to Breitbart News or Rush Limbaugh or in alternative media source. It is creating an atmosphere in which a book like the one i wrote can do so does a detriment to the country. People feel like they cant trust the organizations that report to be a bias host for those joining on sirius radio, our guest is Jerome Hudson. The book is 50 things they dont want you to know and he writes the following establishment media and advertisers conditioned us to touch emotion over logic and sensationalism ignites more shares has morphed into a virtual shortcut and critical thought. It serves the belief that profit from it. Caller he made it sound like he was going after it generally. He was pressuring him to make the announcement but to go to his hitman, giuliani, okay so at the title of the book, maybe 50 things the media doesnt want you to know where trump doesnt want you to know. The most opaque president they had in the last three decades everybody else is releasing their tax returns. Guest i didnt really hear a question. I would like to know the opinion about the Vice President joe biden strongarming and promising to withhold aid o if a federal prosecutor in ukraine was not fired it seems to be the sort of gamesmanship thats part of the course and washington, d. C. And joe biden was doing this at a time thatth his son ws being paid millions of dollars to sit on th the board of an eny company. I think the president has acquitted himself well on this issue. The president of the United States has broad powers when it comes to aid, particularly foreign aid and this is for the reasons i outlined. Its not just the good its not a secret that government has mismanaged funds us and so a president that has governed as he campaigned saying that he would be a steward of taxpayer dollars, 400 million of aid to ukraine any statesman was being skeptical and would want to actually find out more information about where the moneymo would be going and how t would be spent in the country as corrupt as to ukraine. Host 90 of the media owned by thene corporations say that is not free press. Guest as i eluded to earlier, i think it has over time made the media lazier. When theres so much money and power and influence in one industry, as you see they have allowed themselves to become lazy and its actually opened the door for new Media Outlets like Breitbart News. The media wont cover the true horror of a lot of policies that have been implemented in the country for decades. Its a great point and again i think its a testament to the success of a lot of other Media Outlets where you have such a concentration of the Mainstream Media in this country. Its like Breitbart News they provide a product for people that they know they can trust and we are asking a lot of the questions other outlets are not asking. S host but we ask about the tone and rhetoric many people say comes from both sides. The president was critical of john mccain even in death. The white house was critical bringing up the name of barron trump but then the times person of the year because of her activism on global Climate Change and Global Warming ended in this past week referring to the late congressman john dingell somebody that may be in hell. Does the president bearas responsibility for the rhetoric and the tone of the country . To make sure there is more civil discourse and acceptance on social media but yet you get that from her husband. She is a public figure but only 16 years old and mocked by the president for what she believed in. Yes. 63million people who voted for donald trump knew what they were getting. He was bombastic on twitter years before he was sworn in. I just dont think those people that voted for him for what he would say on the campaign trail or now what he is tweeting for for those people voted for him and continue to support him. His job Approval Rating on the economy and overall has actually risen as democrats in congress try to impeach him. That speaks to the fact that people are blocking out and disrespectful of lawmakers so thes people that support this president are paying attention to whats going on in washington dc instead of walking out what feels like white noise to them but not focusing on the execution or how he makes their lives betterst. Ca springfield illinois. Caller hello. Goodod morning. I have a couple comments in the question. You had to reporters on last week with greta one from the New York Times and one from the washington post. They both stated they were not biased at all. Thats what they stated they are on live tv then the night trump was impeached then they were celebrating the Impeachment Vote but they sat there on my television and looked in the camera said hes not biased and then caught with a photograph celebrating impeachment with other reporters so what is america supposed to think about that . How can we ever trust the media again cracks how can we . The trust has been broken you have to go through so many different avenues even then i dont know if you even get all. He truth after that my question steve, if cspan viewers would do their research go online and get on their smart phone i know you guys are nonbiased as best you can be, but my goodness you and everybody that if you do a background check they are all democrats. Thats a fact pedro and john and especially john youre on video over the years everyone who does their research they are all democrats. Video cracks im not sure what you are referring to. You are on video given your views of your past and history. Its all democrats. So the questions that you give to people it is so onesided sometimes. Most mornings i cant even watch it i have to turn it off and walk away because its so soaking with obvious bias with a questioning and every day is trump bashing. Cant we talk about anything positive . In three years can we have one segment of trump doing something positive with anything. I dont care what it is with anything. I dont care what it is take out donald trump and insert barack obama we had the same conversation with those who called in during the obama year. I knew you would say that. Anyone with half a brain and go on youtube and see the past videos of you or even on your website every day its the v same thing. Here is the funny thing you are called out on it every day. Its not just me every day by dozens of people but you will not listen. The good news everything we have done on t this Network Every question is available on the website we are very Transparent Organization we areit critical of the incumbent president whether republican or pet or a democrat i respectfully disagree thank you for callingre in. Speakingwh to what he is saying, i am a conservative i enjoy the labels but if you needed to put one on me, go ahead but i wrote the book for people like jim but also for people who disagree with him i really want to speak to those who come to Breitbart News every day and agree on many of these issues for that 20 yearold me, that College Student who voted democrat since we brought up greta, the United States with the epa Global Energy output they release status saying the United States is a record low of carbon emission in 2017. In researching this book i have to tell you i really just dont remember hearing the Mainstream Media report that. In fact the United States leads the world in carbon emission decreases and andrew yang set it that the United States with just 15 percent of Carbon Emissions that is part of the angst and the uneasiness and the rage that u you hear is probably not specifically directed at you or your colleagues, steve but the fact that the media at large is not telling the whole truth and is going along to get along against people like greta and isnt exactly reporting it is the European Union and its north korea and iran and russia who are leading the world in Carbon Emissions and quite frankly have no plan or no intention to lead the global admission standards. So that rage and frustration that you hear in callers like jim is why i wrote the book. St i just want to be on record talking about immigration thats over 100,000 women and girls making the dangerous track from Central America to the United Statess border that over half of federal arrests are immigration related people dont feel they hear the truth so i wrote about these issues so at least they would know and be informed. We understand if you dont like the question you may feel there is a bias regardless of the guest we appreciate your point because we do strive every single day to be completely nonpartisan and fair and its on the website. Is go to norm in tampa florida. Caller the reason i make this call thank god for obama care because three years ago i went in for an eye exam and it was discovered i have colon cancer. So im ready to make the call because of obama care because i had a preexisting condition. The other point i want to make is think god thank god the book called white Party Government one of the things he says not just studying capitalism is that western capitalism began with the violent duty and resources in the enslavement of numerous populations and this is from capitalism and slavery on the column the colonist to say the discovery of gold and silver in america with the enslavement the beginning of the conquest and turning africa in the era of capitalism production. Thank you for the call. There is a lot there. I didnt say that obama care was perfect or imperfect or that it didnt have its flaws. It did cover preexisting conditions and i am glad that you are able to spot that medical problem that you had. But what i write about in the book is the Obama Administration knew millions of people would lose their Health Insurance and therefore their doctor. They knew this while the president was promising over 100 times that that would not happen. Rto your point i said that i study doctor thomas anywhere fromho broad terms to specifically with the market of capitalism thank god it is the best Economic System this world has ever known and its not perfect but it has allowed for people who have inventions and good ideas and want to take risks of those ideas and create products. It has created an amount of wealth the world has never known and that is a goodod thing we should be proud of the Free Enterprise system we have in this country and we should defend it whenever we can. Its not perfect but it is far better than the alternatives we see destroying many countries around the world. We always welcome feedback this is from the twitter page washington journal bias they interview Jerome Hudson are day crack. So with regard to the africanamerican vote things will happen in 2020. For decades the democrats have taken africanAmerican Voters for granted they have run inner cities for 60 or 70 years when detroit had a republican mayor and had a strong beautiful economy per capita incomes are among the highest after 60 years of cricket democrat rule its one icof the poorest cities in america it was one of the most successful. Mephiladelphia have the poverty rate more than double the National Average they have had a democrat there every year since 1952. The 20 most dangerous cities in america last year were run by democrats. Nationwide 50 percent of murder victims under the age of 22 aree africanamerican. America is waking up to the suffering and neglect they want your vote and then they forget about you for four years or two orr six years. [applause] then they come and hit you hard for three months and then they get your vote and then they say byebye. The president in atlanta to big cities and liberals under donald trump. I feel like he was actually reading from my book. I am a black man so i think the president understands what a lot of peopleta understand that americans want the best opportunity for themselves whether thats education for their children to go to the best schools and have the best chance to be the best version of themselves. So that for a long time democrats have failed to protect their people in particular the black citizens in cities across the country. So what the president is doing in his initiative i dont vethink the importance can be overstated because throughout his presidency, rarely he would have to be chiding his own partys failures but he didnt speak in terms of crime or bloodshed or the shoddy schools these are cities that the people voted for democrats for a long time. But i do think now the president is providing an alternative and he is showing and improving not just black unemployment but female and young blacks as it is with any other category for all americans but supporting and funding and then carson is headed up initiatives to realize their dreams but President Trump will end up getting a larger share of the black vote i truly believe it will be between 15 and 20 percent because black bters again just want the opportunity for themselves and for the families that they see this president is advocating for that they are blocking out the right noise that he is a racist. They are looking around and realizing supporting democrats is not made their lives better and supporting this president to see them govern their lives are better. 50 things they dont want you to know from Breitbart News joins us from Jacksonville Florida thank you for being with us we wish you the best during the holiday week. Thank you Merry Christmas good evening i have the 113 president of the National Press club they had what an honor it is to have this as the First Program on my watch this year as the former general manager of cbs Radio Network news and managing editor for
