Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the No Spin News, Tuesday, June 4th, 2019, take your country back. This was my message of the day, and I hope you read it. Gerald Nadler, who is the committee chairman of a judiciary in the House who hates Trump, is calling John Dean on June 10th to testify about the Mueller report. John Dean, the Watergate guy. If you don't remember John Dean, he was Nixon's counselor. He turned against Nixon and Nixon's henchman, testified, and that kept Dean out of jail. Dean committed a myriad of crimes.
Starting point is 00:00:37 All right, he's on CNN now. Every night he bashes Trump. Why on earth would I pay for John Dean to go and testify in front of the House Judiciary Committee? That's my money putting his butt in a limo or whatever else he needs to show up. Why? He knows nothing about the Mueller report. This just reconfirms my belief that Nadler is dishonest and incompetent. It's a joke.
Starting point is 00:01:08 It is a joke. But it's not a funny joke. This is wasting taxpayer money and it's not getting this country where it needs to be. And that's in a problem-solving zone. Really teed off about this. All right, now this is on the Trump administration. the Trump administration. Only 11 employers in the United States of America from April 18 to March 2019 were prosecuted for hiring illegal aliens. Eleven, which means the government doesn't
Starting point is 00:01:41 care if businesses hire illegal aliens. That's what it means. There's no excuse. Yeah, we need the border wall. Yeah, we need enforcement, yeah. But we got to stop it, the illegal immigration, where the source is, where the money is. 11. No excuse, Mr. President. That's on your administration. One of the guys who really knows what's going on with journalism is Dr. Jeffrey McCall.
Starting point is 00:02:12 He teaches at the paw. First, a quick break. If you are over the age of 50, I have an important message for you. There's a true alternative to AARP, the liberal retirement group, that lobbies in favor of progressive policies. For less than $20 a year, an AMAC membership gives you members-only pricing on car insurance, roadside assistance, discounts on hotels and travel, cell phone plans, discount dental plans, and on and on and on and on.
Starting point is 00:02:44 So please join more than one million fellow Americans right now at amac.us. That's amac.us. And yes, I have. a member visit amac.us amac.us amat dot us and he wrote an article news industry struggles to meet his challenges and find new talent so i asked my staff to run him down and he comes to us from indiana thanks uh doctor for helping us out nice to see you again thank you do you believe that president trump's branding of fake news has anything to do with uh the decline of journalism in USA? Well, I think journalism was in decline for many years before President Trump even came down the escalator to start his presidential campaign. I think Trump bashing the media hasn't necessarily changed anything either. I think that the news media is in decline. I think that's because of
Starting point is 00:03:44 the crisis in journalism more broadly. Credibility ratings in the media had been dropping for many years, 15, 20 years before Trump began his presidential campaign. Now, Trump bashing the media probably hasn't helped anything. And there are some people who think that Trump bashing the media might actually spark a renewed interest in young people going into journalism as they want a crusade to kind of help save the world or whatever. But, you know, Trump is a factor in all this, but I don't think he's the cause. And I don't think his bashing of the media will necessarily help the industry. But I don't think it's going to change its course in a positive direction either. All right. Now, I came up the standard way. I was a high school teacher.
Starting point is 00:04:26 teacher, then I went to Boston University, got a master's degree in broadcast journalism, and embarked on my career. And I started in Scranton, Pennsylvania, went to Dallas, went to Denver, worked my way back to New York City, where I'm from, network news, syndicated, and then Fox News. Standard. And along the way, I made a good living. I was paid pretty well once I about four or five years in, I started to make some money. Now you can't make any money in journalism. Even the big shots are getting their salaries cut like crazy. I was the last guy who was really making big money. And now, because of the shrinking audiences on television, and they are everywhere, there's nobody growing in TV news, and the newspapers are going out of business, you can't make any
Starting point is 00:05:14 money. I think that's what's driving the best and the brightest away from the industry. Well, I think there are two factors. One is it is hard to make money. It's hard to make a good living in journalism these days. Entry level salaries are not very good. And even salaries for mid-career people are not that good if you really want to have a successful life and raise a family and have a nice car and stuff like that. But I think part of the problem in attracting the best and brightest into the news industry is just the low prestige of the industry. Most people don't have a lot of faith in the news industry. They think that the news industry is pushing an agenda. They think the news industry blends factual reporting with commentary and analysis. And for people
Starting point is 00:05:53 who just want news and they tune in and see a network correspondent or they see the front page of the New York Times and they see a lot of analysis or bashing or agenda pushing, they're going to tune out from the news. And I think that's a real danger for our democracy is when you have people who don't trust the news organizations. I don't know about a 22-year-old kid putting that all together, but certainly the American people's opinion of journalism has plummeted. Did you happen to see a professor from Maris College, which is my undergrad. I got a history degree from there, right in the Washington Post that he believes journalists shouldn't be objective anymore. Did you happen to see that op-ed? I did see that, and that's not an uncommon approach anymore in many journalism schools.
Starting point is 00:06:40 But isn't it, that's the death knell. It is a problem. This pinhead up at Maris says in writing, hey, journalists, are smarter than everybody else. This is what he says. They're smarter than everybody else because they go to college and they hang around with other smart people. So they shouldn't have to be objective. They should be able to just spin it anywhere they want to spin it because it's smarter than the guy driving the truck and the guy going to work and trying to make a living in a blue collar play. I mean, I'm looking at this and going, you just killed it. That's the final
Starting point is 00:07:16 stake rate through the heart. People go, I don't want to deal with these people anymore. And That's a journal as a professor, rightness. Hey, doctor, thanks very much. We appreciate it. Always pleasure talking with you. Dodgeball. Did you play dodgeball as a kid? I did.
Starting point is 00:07:29 First, a quick break. If you are over the age of 50, I have an important message for you. There's a true alternative to AARP, the liberal retirement group, that lobbies in favor of progressive policies. For less than $20 a year, an AMAC membership gives you members-only pricing,
Starting point is 00:07:50 on car insurance, roadside assistance, discounts on hotels and travel, cell phone plans, discount dental plans, and on and on and on and on. So please join more than one million fellow Americans right now at amac.us. That's amac.com.us. And yes, I am a member. Visit amac.com.us.amac.org.us.amac.us. All right, now in Canada, three researchers say that Dodgeball is a tool of oppression. The researchers say in the newspaper, The National Post, that Dodgeball reinforces the five forces of oppression.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Okay? Those five forces of oppression are violence, exploitation, marginalization, powerlessness. and cultural imperialism. Who do? Dodgeball reinforces cultural imperialism. I thought I'm just throwing a ball at some dopey kid. Now the theory behind it is if the kid is slow and weak, he gets hit with the ball first and he's out. And that's oppressive. So anyway, these people in Canada are running around telling the schools, no more dodge ball. And you know what? There's going to be no more dodge ball.
Starting point is 00:09:26 You're not going to see it. It's done. It's a T-Rex because it's oppressive. We don't understand. It's oppressive. It marginalizes kids who get hit with the ball first. It's violent. You're throwing a ball?
Starting point is 00:09:42 Somebody. You want violence? I played high school ice hockey and college football. That was violent. See you again tomorrow.
