And they're like all sick of being lied to.

And they all hate their media.

And they all feel controlled.

Nobody knew, right?

Well, there used to be 50 giant media companies, so there used to be more truth that could get out.

But now, because of Bill Clinton and the Telecommunications Act of 1996, we went from 50 giant media companies down to six, meaning that every TV show, every newspaper, every magazine, every radio show, it all comes from one of the six companies.

Right.

And that's why journalism sucks so much right now, because journalists used to come from blue collar backgrounds like me.

But now they they know they all have to work for one of the six billionaire owned companies.

And so the billionaires handpick those people from Ivy League schools now and they're all going to be class loyal.

And so that's why the whole thing is, you know.

It's a great time, but also we're pitted against each other now by the media like never before, right?

Like no matter what the story is, they have their minions in the press reported in a way that makes you hate your neighbor and blame your neighbor and not the guys doing it, right?

Yeah.

So the oligarchy keeps us fighting amongst each other, and that's real.

That's not made up.

I mean, look at how they lied about –

The biggest story, like, so the Kyle Rittenhouse story, right?

Now, I hated that kid because the corporate media told me he was a white supremacist who didn't live in that community.

He traveled across state lines with guns to shoot three black people at a Black Lives Matter rally, and I hated him.
