No, it's a counter-revolution. It's not a revolution. It's trying to bring things back to normality and common sense where they were 10 or 15 years ago. That's all they're trying to do. And the left is screaming because they know what they've done and they're afraid of being exposed.
I got a lot about Donald Trump saying that Ukraine started the war, but I don't think he meant that and he's corrected that.
Constructive criticism. It says we want you to live up to your Western obligations to ensure free speech. And it's going to make it much worse because if you took the AFD's vote and Merz's vote, it's about 50, 51 percent of the people and they should have a conservative government. But he's going to reach out to the Green Party and the Social Democrats.
And there's not going to be a conservative voice in Germany. And that's going to make people even angrier after they feel they voted for a conservative majority.
Thank you for having me, Megan.
Oh, I don't know if it's Matt Drudge. I don't think it's Matt Drudge.
No, I don't. I don't know. I don't know what happened to him. Something happened.
Yeah. I mean, if you had just substituted the word black for white and any other person had said what she did and just said black instead of white, they would have been fired in 24 hours. She knew that, too. So she I remember, though, you remember, Megan, when she first got on, she had this whole paper trail of being a homophobe. You remember that? And then she said that.
And then she said, I'm going to get the FBI to investigate because I was hacked. And then she completely lied on the air. She was never hacked. And then she said she may not have been hacked, but she couldn't. Then she said she was almost as if she was in a suspended state of animation. I may have written this, but I don't remember ever saying this. And it was so pathetic. Doesn't sound like me.
Yeah, she should have been fired for that. And then she had a big rant once, I remember, where she was mad that... So-called white women had cornrows and this was cultural appropriation and she was going to wear authentic black hairstyles. And then all of a sudden she started wearing blonde. She dyed her hair blonde and straight. She looked like Trump. Yeah. I thought, wow, you're culturally.
Why do you want to look like an Anglo-Saxon after you gave a lecture that nobody.
So all I'm saying is that she was a sad person. She had a horrible – I'm not trying to psychoanalyze her, but she was terribly insecure. And it came out – it just exuded from her insecurity, insecurity, insecurity, insecurity. And she was thrashing around. And it was really the problem of the management to put her out there. They should have yanked her from the very beginning.
And that Ellie Mustel, he was an outright racist. I remember he said right after COVID, I got used to not seeing white people anymore. And it was a good feeling. And he just said things that were, I mean... They were horribly racist, and they kept spouting that filth, and it was horrible, and nobody ever said anything. And then finally, her ratings had stayed.
I don't think they were ever great, but the only reason they took them off is that people got sick of her after the election, or they would have kept her on. They were never bothered by what she said. They were just trying to adjudicate whether it was good enough to justify the advertisers. I don't know.
65.
Yeah, and one of the reasons they lost the election, there were many, but one of the reasons is that they were so anachronistic. They looked at these legacy media, NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, NPR, LA Times, Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, New York. And they thought that because 60 Minutes, they thought that these were back, they were back in the 1960s or 70s with these huge ratings.
And then they didn't realize that Joe Wogan, your show, all these podcasters, Fox is doing well, Newsmax had bigger than some of these people. And then there were online influencers. There was a whole new media. And you think that these hip people from Silicon Valley who... were left wing would have told them or somebody, but they were very out of date, old fuddy duddies.
And they kept, they kept sending, they, they didn't put, they had an opportunity with Joe Biden at the Superbowl. They had an opportunity with Kamala Harris to go on Joe Rogan. They had, and they just were so, uh, Either out of it and they didn't understand that the whole media world had changed or they were afraid because they were not these sympathetic, obsequious, left-wing legacy interviewers.
Or they had to pay them like Hopra or Cardi B or somebody. But whatever it was, they didn't understand the new media at all.
If you have someone like that, that is so egregious and just flat-out lies, and then you keep her there, then that tells her, I can do anything on the air. I can say anything outrageous because I have said the most, done the most outrageous thing in the world, and they kept me here. And they knew that.
