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

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.

It's about how companies like Fox, MSNBC, and even your station, CNN, use the 24-hour news cycle to enrage people to generate ad revenue and pit Americans against each other during times like that. And he said, there's nothing fake about CNN. And I said, I didn't say you were fake news.

I'm not saying you're lying, but you're directly antagonizing and stirring people up against half the country because you need money during, to support a dying platform.

Pretty much. Nice. And, you know, I was so, my mom was watching it. She was texting me. She's like, what are you doing? And I was like, I don't know. And so he goes, why'd you extend the platform to Alex Jones? And I go, I don't know. I just wanted to drink some Jameson and lift some weights with him. You know, I'm just, at this point, I don't support that kind of media. I don't support CNN.

So, you know, I just, I didn't give them much information about Alex, but it was very awkward. They never posted the segment online. When I got off of that interview, I had a handler that A24 assigned to me. So I had someone with me and she, you could tell she was flustered. Like she was furious about what I just did. And so she goes, I just got an email from Time Warner C-Suite.

And I go, what's Time Warner C-Suite? She says, I don't know if you know this, but the same people who own CNN own HBO. And it's Time Warner. And so they canceled my press tour. So my press tour was finished. All the late night shows that I was supposed to go on, I was supposed to go on like the late night shows.

And that was off the table because they were worried that I was like a loose cannon, I think. And then the only remaining appearance I had left was NPR in Boston. And that was supposed to be a premiere. So it wasn't supposed to be an interrogation. It wasn't supposed to be anything like that.

It's supposed to be a premiere in front of a live audience where they watch the film and I show up after for a Q&A. So I'm like, all right, whatever. It's kind of weird. They only have this one press opportunity left. I kind of felt bad that I ruined the entire press tour by confronting Don Lemon. But at this point, I wanted to just do this final one, especially because it was a viewing.
