Chapter 1: What prompted Donald Trump to shut down CBS over a critical story?
It's again the time of the year that everyone has been waiting for. People are in a hurry and in a hurry. First a gift, then to the grocery store, sometimes to clean up and even to pack. To the kitchen, boxes in the kitchen, it's about to start. Food on the table, cookies in the fridge and to eat. Then we share the gifts, we repeat the same thing the next day, but without gifts.
Dreaming of a birthday, finally and finally trying the best time of the year when the ice cream falls to the ice. Ice cream youth's MM competitions. Starting on the 26th of December on TV5 and HBO Max. Bye. Bye. Tulosyy, terveystalon määräaikaistarkastus. Välillä kipua hartioissa, sormissa puutumisoireita.

I think this will be one of the most important videos I've ever done at the Midas Touch Network because it speaks to how corporate news has utterly capitulated to this gangster Trump regime and why we need independent media, independent news, and why I am so humbled for your support with Midas Touch Network leading the way. for all independent news.
And in fact, our independent news is beating Fox and all other corporate news right now. And so I want to talk about CBS capitulating to the gangster regime that doesn't just tarnish its reputation. It has destroyed CBS. CBS is done. CBS is dead. CBS is gone. It has utterly been taken over by the gangster Trump regime.
And we saw what they did yesterday, which is what I want to highlight right now. So just hours before 60 Minutes was set to air a story on deportees who were sent by the Trump administration to the I call it a concentration camp. They call it a terrorist detention center in El Salvador. describing the brutal and torturous conditions.
60 Minutes announces that it pulled the segment and it will air it in the future, maybe. So after promoting this segment, CBS posts this editor's note, December 21st, 2025. The broadcast lineup for tonight's edition of 60 Minutes has been updated. Our report, Inside Seacott, That's the terrorist detention center. I call it a concentration camp. You can call it what you want to.
Will air in a future broadcast. Now, they previously had been showing this promo. You can see the promo right here. Then they took the promo down. And here's what the promo said. A group of Venezuelan men thought they were being deported from the U.S. back to Venezuela.
Instead, they were delivered to Secot, the notorious maximum security prison in El Salvador, where they were shackled and paraded before cameras. This Sunday, two of those men tell 60 Minutes their story. Now, the atrocities that were committed at Secot that are being committed at Seacott, but that the United States government has aided and abetted.

All right, so with that as background, I would normally want to play you the trailer from this 60 minutes piece.

Okay, so now I want to share with you what Sharon Alfonsi, a correspondent for 60 Minutes, sent in an internal email to colleagues stating that the CBS News editor-in-chief, Barry Weiss, spiked our story about the Trump administration and the transfer of deportees to a prison in El Salvador.
In the email, which was first reported on by the Wall Street Journal, Alfonsi compares the decision to spike the story to another massive scandal. And it goes on to talk about how Weiss declined to speak with her about this decision. She also says the move was political rather than editorial.
Our story was screened five times and cleared by both the CBS attorneys and standards and practices, Alfonsi wrote. It is factually correct. But Barry Weiss intervened, and Barry Weiss was saying, we need to get Stephen Miller on the program, and we need to get more of Trump's voices on this program.
Well, when 60 Minutes had asked for comment, the Trump regime's Department of Homeland Security and others did not provide any comment. And so this is what Barry Weiss was trying to push for, that she wanted to see Stephen Miller featured and other things. People are like, we've got a good story here. Let's just tell what's actually happening. You know, it's wild.
We talk all the time about heart health, gut health, brain health, but almost never about the most underrated organ in your body, your liver.

So, what if we actually supported it BEFORE problems started?

Chapter 3: What were the conditions faced by deportees in the El Salvador detention center?
It is a political one. We requested responses to questions and or interviews with DHS, the White House and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a veto. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story.
If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a kill switch for any reporting they find inconvenient. If the standard for airing a story becomes, quote, the government must agree to be interviewed, then the government effectively gains control over the 60 minutes broadcast.
We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state. These men risk their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism. Give voice to the voiceless.
And then it goes on to say, we have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading in 50 years of gold standard reputation for a single week of political quiet.
I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight. signed by Sharon right there. Now, I want to remind you what the FCC chair recently said at a hearing. This is Brendan Carr. Brendan Carr said that the FCC is no longer independent.
and that the FCC will work with the Trump regime to attack any network that makes fun of Trump or that reports negatively about the Trump regime. Listen to Brendan Carr in his own words. Here, play this clip.
Is the FCC an independent agency? Senator, thanks for that question. Yes or no is all we need, sir. Yes or no, is it independent? Well, there's a test for this in the law, in the key portion of that test. Yes or no, Brendan? The key portion of that test is... Okay, I'm going to go to Commissioner Trustee.
So just so you know, Brendan, on your website, it just simply says, man, the FCC is independent. This isn't a trick question.
Okay, the FCC is not.
