So have you heard of this woman, Kristian Aminpore? She's been with CNN for 42 years. Wow, 42 years. She's based in London, probably the most successful female correspondent, not only at CNN, but maybe in the United States.
Starting point is 00:00:50 She's on the downside of her career now, no question about it. In fact, the Associated Press was questioning why CNN has iced her. I think I know why they have, because Ms. Amun-Poor has become increasingly radical left, hates Trump, hates them. Oh, my God. So recently, I traveled to China, and I wrote about it on Bill O'Reilly.com. It's a police state. It is the most fierce police state in the history of mankind. And I have been to police states all over the world.
Starting point is 00:01:25 Nothing compares to this to China. So it caught my eye when Ms. Amunpur on June 3rd gave a commencement speech, okay, and here's what she said. Go. I have to tell you, when I went to Harvard to give this speech, and it was just a few days ago last week, I must say I was afraid. I'm a foreigner. I don't have a green card. I'm not an American citizen. I'm fairly prominent.
Starting point is 00:01:57 And I literally prepared to go to America as if I was going to North Korea. I took a burner phone, Jamie. Imagine that. I didn't take a single, not my mobile phone, not my iPad, nothing. And I had nothing on the burner phone except a few numbers. And I could text with my assistant. I had your number. I had our son's number.
Starting point is 00:02:18 I had our lawyer's number, you know, the CNN lawyer. And I was really afraid. Indeed. Absurd, ridiculous, and I hesitate to use the word dishonest, but misguided. So let me break it down. When I was in China, I used a burner from. Because if I brought my own personal phone, it would be hacked. The Chinese do.
Starting point is 00:02:45 They do that in North Korea to a lesser extent, because the North Koreans are so incompetent. They don't know what they're doing, but China, they have that surveillance. all the way down. You go to China, you're surveilled. You are a foreign national there, even if you're a Chinese citizen. You've got to carry an ID at all times. You better produce the ID. If you don't, you're in trouble. There's no freedom at all in China or North Korea. None. No due process. You can't criticize the government. You can't do anything. The government has total 100% power over you. Ms. Amanpur is telling her crew, it's the same thing in America, which is just, you know, I'm not going to use the word a lie
Starting point is 00:03:25 because she believes it. I'm going to use a word delusional. So if you go to Cambridge, Massachusetts to deliver a speech at Harvard, you don't need to bring a burner phone, Christyong. Okay, because nobody's going to hack your phone unless you've got criminals following you wanting your bank accounts, all right?
Starting point is 00:03:48 There's no government surveillance in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Massachusetts. None. And you have no proof that there is because there's never been anybody even charged with that. Justice Department, NSA, CIA, do they surveil? Yeah, they do. But not you. They're surveilling Al-Qaeda or ISIS or those people. Now, if you say I'm wrong, back it up. Back it up. Where's the case? Where's the civil lawsuit? Where is it?
Starting point is 00:04:29 You can't cite it. So, you're going on there, you're saying stuff that's flat out false. And you're diminishing this country. I know you're not a citizen. I don't care what you are, by the way. Doesn't matter to me. You live in London, have fun. But you are not telling the truth.
Starting point is 00:04:51 about the United States, which has been very good to you. It has allowed you to spout nonsense for 42 years. Nonsense. Let me back that up. November 2020, all right? Ms. Aminpore compares Kristallat, the Nazi atrocity in 1936, to the Trump administration. Okay?
Starting point is 00:05:18 Totally irresponsible. Totally offensive to end. Jewish person? Ridiculous, absurd. At a Columbia commencement, May 17, 2003, okay, she criticizes her own network, CNN, for giving Donald Trump a forum in a town hall. I think that makes smack of totalitarianism a little bit there, Christia. Am I wrong about that? I think that's what they do in North Korea and China, but you can't have a public forum if you don't agree with the government. You can't. But you want CNN to impose those standards on Trump.
Starting point is 00:06:03 But you don't give him a town hall. What's the matter with you? What is the matter with you? This is just crazy stuff. I don't care that you're radical left. It doesn't bother me you don't like Donald Trump. Millions of people don't like President Trump. But this kind of distortion?
Starting point is 00:06:28 So I was there in Beijing, gay in late May. I saw it. Now I'm here in New York. I still have eyes, ears, and a mind. There is no comparison. There's no surveillance. I don't need a burner phone. It's so, you know, I hear this stuff.
Starting point is 00:06:54 Now, you're the audience. Okay, I know you don't care most of you about what Christian Amunpore or CNN says. I know. But this is out of control. This media craziness, and Trump has caused it, it's Trump derangement censorship. it's almost like those zombie movies where you get bitten on the thumb by a zombie and then
Starting point is 00:07:20 20 minutes later you're a zombie okay as soon as trump got into the political arena the people who hated it they just lost all perspective okay all common-sense analysis just flew out the window he's a nazi i mean i'm laughing about it but it's so prevalent Thank God for YouTube and social media that allow people like me to put forth, you know, a dissenting opinion from the corporate media, which is absolutely out of its mind. And the Genesis is a writer for the New York Times. I'll never forget it because he lives close to me out on East and Long Island. And when Trump got elected, he said, he wrote, he wrote in a calm. His name is Ruttenberg.
Starting point is 00:08:17 All the journalism rules are gone because this guy is such a threat. He's such a threat to democracy and to this and to that that we don't have to do the journalism anymore. We don't have to be fact-based or give both sides of the story. All our responsibility is to attack and destroy him and anybody who supports him. This was Jim Ruttenberg. You know, when I read it, I went, ah, he's a crank, nobody's going to believe that. Boom, Mel.
Starting point is 00:08:48 That is what the marching orders have been since 2015. That's 10 years. And they're taking deep, deep root. It's not only about Trump now, but look what happened to Elon Musk. Okay? Because he tried to do something in the Trump administration and blowing up his cars. Now there, Christian. you go that's your crew okay that's your far left progressive crew now there we got a story right
Starting point is 00:09:21 so anyway i'm going to end this with a piece of detain for miss amun poor if anyone madam surveils you threatens you does anything to you while you are standing in the united states of america your first call is me not james me, not CNN lawyers, O'Reilly. And I will take care of it for you. I promise. But I'm not going to get a call. I'll guarantee it.
