I'm over it. It's raining one day. It's raining all this week. I think. Yeah. Speaker 5 (3:18) I'm over it, Speaker 6 (3:18) bro. It's Speaker 5 (3:19) 70 degrees outside. It was 110 for the last three fucking months. Now you're complaining about 70. Yeah. Speaker 6 (3:25) Yep. Yeah. I see how you are. That's the Missouri in me. Huh? Speaker 5 (3:30) Yeah, they do. They fucking always got a problem, don't they? Speaker 6 (3:33) Dude, it's just like, dude, I woke up hot as fuck because we lost power last night with the storms and shit. Yeah. Like, first world problems, bro. Yeah. I can't deal with this shit. Yeah. Speaker 5 (3:42) I'm over it. Speaker 6 (3:43) I'm over Speaker 5 (3:43) it. Speaker 6 (3:43) How you doing? Good. Yeah? Yeah. I think you're coming out of the darkness. Speaker 5 (3:49) I don't think so. I think I'm- You look a little lighter. I'm at peak tan right now. Speaker 6 (3:53) Yeah. Well, thank God. It's not going to be 100 degrees then. Yeah. Shit, man. No, man. It's all good, doc. Yeah. Things are moving. We got a lot of stuff happening. A lot of stuff to cover. I wanted to bring this in, though, because I thought this was pretty cool. You know, Russia had some elections. They did? And yeah, Putin wins. A record number of seats after he banned the other party from competing in the elections. You know, but we talk about securing our elections all the time, right? I think this is, I think we might need to take a playbook out of Russia's, because this is what securing their elections look like. Speaker 5 (4:47) Bro. I mean, we're getting there. We're getting there. Dude, that's crazy. No, we're Speaker 6 (4:52) getting Speaker 5 (4:52) there. Speaker 6 (4:52) That's crazy work. That's what's coming. Fuck, man. Yeah, dude. That's absolutely crazy work. Yeah. I feel like this dude's been in office forever. He has. It's been like 30 years, dude. Yeah, fuck, man. Speaker 5 (5:08) Bro, people like him. People do like him. Yeah. Like our press over here is so full of shit. Yeah. You talk to anybody in Russia, anybody, and they're like, bro, I love Putin. Yeah. He's good for the fucking country. He keeps the bullshit out. Yeah. He keeps our country fucking normal and not full of fucking a bunch of people that want to drink, read stories to little kids dressed up as fucking the opposite sex. Yeah. Like people love Putin and our media hates him. Because our media is full of a bunch of fucking far left disgusting. Speaker 5 (5:40) gross people so of course yeah our media fucking hates them yeah they do well Speaker 6 (5:46) the Speaker 5 (5:46) party apparently Speaker 6 (5:46) going against him to your point he uh back in 2023 he designated the lgbt international movement as extremists yeah uh and so the party i guess party rival he was going against had on their website that they were in support of that and so he banned them from the fucking elections Speaker 6 (6:06) You know what I'm saying? But, I mean, you talk about listening to your people's values and what they want. I mean, it's like, you know, that truly is the. Speaker 5 (6:12) Bro, not everything should be allowed. Speaker 6 (6:14) Yeah. Speaker 5 (6:15) Okay? If you're going to have order, if you're going to have civilization. Speaker 5 (6:19) You can't allow everything. You can't allow people to just do whatever the fuck they want to do. Okay. There is a certain level of dictating that needs to happen from leadership so that the country doesn't turn into a fucking shit show. And I think we can look at our own country as an example of that. The amount of shit that is acceptable now versus when I was 20 years old, just 20 years ago. It's fucking insane. It's insane. It's totally fucking different, bro. Okay? The argument of men and women's sports 20 years ago would have got you literally laughed out of the fucking room like you were mentally retarded. X out. Okay? Like, your brain. You deserve to be in special ed. Yeah. We're going to put you in the little classroom down the hall. The one that used to be a janitor's closet. And that's going to be your classroom from now on. And you're going to ride to school on the fucking shortest bus that we have. So everybody knows that you're fucking retarded. That's right. That's what that fucking conversation would have dictated back in. the year 2000. Yeah. Speaker 6 (7:29) Okay. Speaker 5 (7:29) But now fast forward. Now we got people that are legitimately arguing this, who claim to be highly educated that men and women are the same. How stupid does that sound? Yeah. Like it's absurd that it's even a conversation and what Putin understands that our people don't understand. And what many other populations understand that our population doesn't understand is that the erosion of standards and the erosion of norms and the demoralization of society is how communism takes hold. Russia understands this because they were a communist country for 70 fucking years and millions of people died You talk to people from other communist countries who you know, they came from places that were inflicted with this disease and they will tell you No, do we this is how the shit happens. You guys don't get it. You're not seeing it, right? Okay, so I like Putin. I don't give a fuck what you think. I Speaker 6 (8:35) like him. Speaker 5 (8:36) Yeah. And if we had a fucking leader that was more like that, I think our country would be better off. Yeah. Speaker 6 (8:42) Yeah. I think he's just a cool dude, bro. You see all the clips and shit of him fishing with his shirt off and shit. He's playing with bears. Speaker 5 (8:49) The guy loves Russia. Speaker 6 (8:51) Yeah. He's Speaker 5 (8:52) through and through. That's a Russian man. Russian first. He's proud of Russia, and he should be proud of Russia. That's what a fucking leader of a country is supposed to be. Our leader is supposed to be so American that they do not allow people to degrade and devalue and demoralize and destabilize the culture that we have. That's what our leader is supposed to do. But instead, our leaders just take money and make whatever decisions based upon the money. Speaker 6 (9:22) Oh, yeah. Congratulations, dog. Yeah. Speaker 6 (9:28) He's in for another round. I Speaker 5 (9:29) would bet that headline's highly misleading. I would bet there's another side of that headline that's not even being told. What Speaker 6 (9:35) source is that? This is the Daily Mail. Speaker 5 (9:39) Dude, listen. Speaker 6 (9:41) They're pissed because he's about to cut off their oil. Speaker 5 (9:44) They're out of England, aren't they? Yeah, they're about to fucking go into war. Speaker 6 (9:48) I mean, of course they're going Speaker 5 (9:48) to say this shit. That's right. Speaker 6 (9:52) It's all propaganda, man. All of it. Speaker 5 (9:54) All of it. It's all propaganda. Speaker 6 (9:57) It's all Speaker 5 (9:58) lies. It's all bullshit. It's all theater. And it's all at the expense of every single normal human on this planet. 100%, man. Guys, Speaker 6 (10:07) remember, if you want to see any of these pictures, articles, links, videos, go to andyfrasella.com. You guys can check them there. Let's get into a little bit of American propaganda, I guess. Headline number one, this is making a lot of talks right now. You got CNN, MS. Now Politico notified Trump that they're suing over vetoed White House access. So this is this is a hot topic right now. Apparently CNN, MSN Now and Politico announced Monday that they will launch legal action against President Donald Trump and unnamed senior administration officials after they were denied access to the White House as punishment for reporting, quote unquote, fake news. As Breitbart News reported, reporters from these three news organizations were blocked from access to the presidential mansion on Saturday, a day after Trump made clear his displeasure with their reporting. Trump did not say what directly prompted the move, but added, quote, media outlets shouldn't be able to constantly write or report fiction and lies when they're covering the president of the United States. What Speaker 5 (11:17) about when they're covering anything else? Yeah. Speaker 6 (11:19) Not just you. No, no, that's a great fucking point. Yeah. On Truth Social, this is his full statement. He said, he says, quote, I am proud to announce that effective immediately. I am banning fake news. CNN, MS Now, who recently changed their name from MSNBC due to lack of viewership, credibility and Politico, quote, in parentheses, the recipients of an illegal and ridiculous eight million dollar subscription. An all time record directly from the United States government under crooked Joe Biden in order to keep them alive. Seems like corruption to me from the White House as a result of their constant reporting fake news. Now, AP, they have confirmed the White House reporters from the two cable networks. They have been turned away. Their press badges were deactivated when they tried to gain entry. As of literally just a couple hours ago, you now have all major TV networks are ending Trump on camera coverage as this bitter battle over media ban explodes. So now it's extended. Basically, the entire TV news pool. They're all, I guess, you know, legacy media media banning together. Fox News, CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC, collectively known as the TV pool. They're protesting the White House have decided not to dispatch cameramen or reporters to cover the president that began today, which means that this trip got the United Nations General Assembly also meeting today. Apparently, that's just going to go unaired. Well, Speaker 5 (12:50) anything goes unaired on major networks. I mean, how much shit goes on air? No. anything that doesn't go along with their story. That's right. So this probably wouldn't have got much airtime anyway. Speaker 6 (12:58) I mean, to your point, dude, I mean, I think people also... What's your thoughts on this? Well, I mean, I think people forget, dude, like, at this point, I think any legacy media, any of them, they're all full of shit at this point. And I think people forget, like, how bad this shit was not too long ago, bro. The amount of propaganda that those same little, you know, alphabet names there. We're spewing to us. Spewing it. From the COVID nonsense. I mean, you name it, right? I don't think anybody really watches them anymore anyway. So it doesn't really matter. That's Speaker 5 (13:35) not true. A Speaker 6 (13:36) lot Speaker 5 (13:36) of people watch them. You just don't watch them. Speaker 6 (13:38) The boomers. Okay? Speaker 5 (13:39) Yeah. Here's my take. All right? Let's just zoom the fuck out for a second. Okay? Trump didn't do... hardly any of the things that he campaigned on doing. Okay. And we talked about this on the show. The migrants are still here. The economy is, people are still paying more forever. Now they're justifying it with this war in Iran. We weren't supposed to be in a war in Iran. I mean, dude, we could go on. He was supposed to drain the swamp. We were going to see arrests and accountability. No, we didn't see any of that. Right. Okay. So now we're in a position where. We're at midterms. And there is a strong possibility that the midterms are going to be a smokeout of the Republican Party. All right. So now you, because you, Donald Trump, haven't fulfilled your promises the way that the people wanted you to fulfill the promises, now you have a situation where you're going to lose some power. And you're going to lose enough power to where it's going to be really hard for you to do anything. Probably we'll get impeached. Okay. Oh, 100%. 100%. So they're going to try. And it probably will work this time, maybe. We'll have to see. But we're in this situation and this fucking guy just set the table for the way that the communists run state run media because he doesn't like the way that they're reporting him. Okay. I have since Donald Trump got elected. I have tried. I've done a very purposeful. Speaker 5 (15:28) Job at watching CNN along with Fox. Oh, that's important and I'm gonna be real with you CNN is A thousand times more palatable than Fox is right now. Yeah. Okay. I agree. All you hear on Fox from that Laura lady and fucking Hannity and what's the guy's name? Jesse Waters and Burt Bear or whatever the fuck his name is. Yeah. All you hear is Trump dick sucking. That's right. Everything Trump does is fucking amazing. It's the same thing with these fucking influencers, bro. The, so all they do is support. If you watch CNN, they'll actually report like, Hey, this is happening in the world. This is happening in the world. The, the 2020, 2022 era of CNN, where it was just fucking constantly bashing Trump. Speaker 5 (16:25) It's not the same as it was they've tried to correct it now. I'm not saying that they're like With Trump, you know, you're not Speaker 6 (16:31) dying. You're getting a Speaker 5 (16:32) much you're getting you're getting a more variety And a more honest take of the news that they've offered in a decade at least I Don't watch the MS now. I don't yeah, Speaker 6 (16:43) they're Speaker 5 (16:43) ready. I Speaker 6 (16:44) don't know. Speaker 5 (16:44) I know so I can't speak for that. But um But here's the thing dude, okay so Speaker 5 (16:55) Why would you want to ban the media if the media is doing a great job at destroying themselves by the way that they have been reporting everything? Speaker 6 (17:08) The Speaker 5 (17:08) viewership of MSM from 2019 till now is like drastically different. I mean, it's a fraction of what it used to be. Just let them go on their own. Okay. So why now? Yeah. Why now? That's a weird thing to do now. Speaker 6 (17:27) It is. Okay. Speaker 5 (17:28) And when I look at what's happening, I can't. And then there's this other aspect of it. Like, you're a capitalist. You're a guy who says, let the market decide. Okay. Well, if you were doing a fucking tremendous job and you were kicking ass and you were doing all the shit that you said you were going to do, then why would you need to ban the media? Because the people would know it. And they would do exactly what they did to the media the first fucking four years that you were in office from 2016 to 2020, which was the media's a bunch of liars. Okay? So why now, 10 years after the first time that you were elected, when you started dealing with this, why now set this precedent? Yeah. It's very fucking weird to me. And it gives me this feeling like... Bro, is this guy really coming in to set these communists up to fuck? Like, is he fucking part of the play? Yeah. Like, what is he doing? Speaker 6 (18:21) What makes it really weird, too, bro, it's like I think most people have a have a feeling that, you know, this administration is not transparent at all. And so you're taking an already not so transparent administration and making it even less transparent. The Speaker 5 (18:38) solution is real simple. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's not the solution is real simple. Do. what you said you were going to do. If you would have came in, Donald Trump, and done the shit that you said you were going to do, the midterms would be 80 to 20 right now. But now you're going to fucking lose because you came in and you said you were going to do this. You said you were going to do that. You said you were going to do this. And then when people said, hey, what about the Epstein? Oh, that's a hoax. What about the deportations? Oh, we're deporting people. Come to find out they're actually not. at any scale. Oh, you know, you should be happy to pay $7 a gallon for fucking gas because Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon. They've been saying Iran was going to have a nuclear weapon my entire life. That's been their fucking threat. Speaker 6 (19:32) Okay? Speaker 5 (19:34) So why now? There's another reason. I don't know the reason. Speaker 6 (19:39) There's Speaker 5 (19:39) another reason. Okay, but it makes me think really, really, really nefarious things as to why you would want to ban the media at this point in time and set a precedent for potentially these other people getting in power Speaker 6 (19:54) and then doing the same thing. Right? Yeah, 100. That's actually one piece that a lot of people have kind of pushed back on. Well, Biden did it too, right? And I looked and listened. I don't think you can find anybody that talks more shit on that dude than us. I'll talk some shit on Biden, all right? But a lot of people kept
