#425 – Andrew Callaghan: Channel 5, Gonzo, QAnon, O-Block, Politics & Alex Jones

It said, giving a platform to problematic ideologies will in turn expand their reach. And so even extending your platform to someone who's problematic is helping them. AKA destroying humanity, whatever it was. So that was the whole thing. And when I did this media training that was mandated by HBO, it was all training and how to defend from that exact question.

They said, when we put you on NPR and we put you on CNN, They're gonna ask you about platforming problematic ideologies. And you're gonna have to say stuff like, sunlight is the best disinfectant. I believe that extremism only goes away when you shine a light on it because leaving it in the dark will only allow it to grow. They gave me like 15 pointers.

I didn't use any of those pointers because I'm not the kind of person who wants to be media trained. I like to speak freely. But in the promotional run for the film, when I went on CNN, this was a crazy experience. So I went on CNN and thankfully my friend was with me. And so I'm on CNN and- By the way, your friend is chilling in sunglasses laying in the couch right now.

Yeah. So HBO had a press tour set up for me. And the main ones were CNN and NPR. And so they said, you're going to go on CNN on the Don Lemon morning show. And he's going to ask you about your life, what led up to the movie, what we can expect. So I get in the studio. It's about 7 o'clock in the morning in New York at a show the night before at Times Square. So I'm like groggy-eyed, whatever.

They put the lav on me. Boom, I'm live on CNN Sunday morning. And he goes, how would you describe Enrique Tarrio's mental state in the lead up to the Capitol insurrection? And I'm looking around, I'm like, is this guy serious? Like, am I sandwiched in the January 6th hit piece right now? I thought it was about me. And so I told him, it's not about Enrique Tarrio.
