1 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you a story, and it's one 2 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:12,719 Speaker 1: that is becoming all too normal. You may know the 3 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: name that I'm about to say. It's a name of 4 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 1: a reporter, a reporter who spent many years on Fox 5 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,240 Speaker 1: and then went to CBS. This reporter, by the name 6 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: of Catherine Heritage, is a amazing reporter that actually does 7 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: real journalism. 8 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 2: One of the things that she did. 9 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: At CBS News was she reported often on the corruption 10 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 1: of the Biden crime family. All of a sudden, CBS 11 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: Nude News had some layoffs, and the layoffs happened to 12 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: hit their best reporter, their DC reporter, their political reporter, 13 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: their reporter, a true journalist that told you what was 14 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: happening when it came to corruption. Well after she got 15 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: quote laid off, because that's how you make it seem 16 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: like there's nothing faarius going on. She has now testified 17 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: that CBS News not only locked her out of the building, 18 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: but CBS News also seized all of her files and 19 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: said that she was working with sources which they then 20 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: had control of, who they were to expose government corruption. 21 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: I want to play for you what she had to say, 22 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: and again I go back to what I was saying 23 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 1: about Catherine a moment ago. Catherine is a journalist. She's 24 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: a journalist that is not pushing a narrative. She is 25 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: a journalist that pushes the facts. And she was exposing 26 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: the truth on the Biden crime family, Hunter Biden, the 27 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: lies of the Biden crime family, and just how involved 28 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: Joe Biden was with the family's business corruption. This is 29 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: the first time that she's been able to speak publicly 30 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: since she was locked out of the building at CBS News, 31 00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: since all of her files were seized by a at 32 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: CBS stas. I'm sorry. This is what communists do, right, 33 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: this is what Marxists do. This is what socialists do. 34 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: This is what they would do when they're spying on 35 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: you in other countries like Russia or Venezuela or Cuba. 36 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: And CBS News did it to their own journalists in 37 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: the United States of America because apparently she was exposing 38 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: government corruption on the people that you're not supposed to 39 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: expose it on, right, Democrats, hard core liberals, and the 40 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,519 Speaker 1: President of the United States of America. Listen to what 41 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: she had to say today. 42 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 3: As you know, in February, I was held in contempt 43 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 3: of court for refusing to disclose my confidential sources on 44 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 3: a national security story. I think my current situation can 45 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 3: help put the importance of the Press Act into context. 46 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 3: One of our children recently asked me if I would 47 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 3: go to jail, if we would lose our house, and 48 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 3: if we would lose our family savings to protect my 49 00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 3: reporting sources. I wanted to answer that in this United States, 50 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 3: where we say we value democracy and the role of 51 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 3: a vibrant and free press, that it was impossible, but 52 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 3: I could. 53 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 4: Not offer that assurance. 54 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 3: The Bipartisan Press Act, which came out of this House Committee, 55 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 3: would put an end to the sort of legal jeopardy 56 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 3: that I have experienced firsthand in the federal courts, and 57 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 3: without the legislation, more journalists will run to the uncertainty 58 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 3: of the contempt gauntlet in the future. This legislation will 59 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 3: provide protections for every working journalist in the United States 60 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 3: now and for the next generation. The legislation provides strong 61 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 3: protections at the federal level for reporters and their sources. 62 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 3: It would block litigants and federal government from prying into 63 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 3: a reporter's files except when there's an imminent threat of violence, 64 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 3: including terrorism and in defamation cases. At the state level, 65 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 3: similar rules are already in place to protect press freedom. 66 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 3: It is my sincere hope that the passage of the 67 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 3: Press Act will provide similar protection at the federal level. 68 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 3: I hope that I am the last journalist who has 69 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 3: to spend two years in the federal courts fighting to 70 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 3: protect my confidential sources. My current situation arises from a 71 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,119 Speaker 3: Privacy Act lawsuit. 72 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 4: I am only a witness in the case. 73 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 3: It is not common for these cases to reach the 74 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 3: stage of holding a reporter in contempt, but when such 75 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 3: cases happen, they have profound consequences, impacting every journalist in 76 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 3: the United States. Forcing a reporter to disclose confidential sources 77 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 3: would have a crippling effect on investigative journalism because without 78 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 3: reliable assurances of confidentiality, sources will. 79 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 4: Not come forward. 80 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 3: The First Amendment provides protections for the press because an 81 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 3: informed electorate is at the foundation of our democracy. If 82 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 3: con forces are not protected, I fear investigative journalism is dead. 83 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 3: Each day I feel the weight of that responsibility. As 84 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 3: you know, I was held in contempt of court for 85 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 3: upholding the basic journalistic principle of maintaining the pledge of 86 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 3: confidentiality to my sources. I have complete respect for the 87 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 3: federal court and the judicial process, and I'm not here 88 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 3: to litigate the case. It will play out before the 89 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 3: appellate court in Washington, d c. But the fact that 90 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 3: I have been fighting in the courts for two years 91 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 3: and that I am now facing potentially crippling fines of 92 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 3: eight hundred dollars a day to protect my reporting sources 93 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 3: underscores the vital importance of the Press Act. 94 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: I want to just pause there, and I want you 95 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: to think about what this reporter who's now again trying 96 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: to protect her sources, exposing government corruption, being locked out 97 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 1: of her own office by CBS News and having her 98 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: reporting file sees, and now having the threat of financial 99 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: ruin at eight hundred dollars a day day, being held 100 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: in contempt for refusing to give up her sources, which 101 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,359 Speaker 1: is her right to do in a free press in America. 102 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: There is something that is happening now. We saw this 103 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: with an undercover CIA FBI guy a few days ago 104 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: talking about how, yeah, they find people, they put them 105 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: on their hit lists, and they basically try to put 106 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: them into financial ruin. We've seen this in real time 107 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: against Donald Trump. You look at President Donald Trump, and 108 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: what did the Democrats say? Okay, we're afraid we can't 109 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: beat him, so we could bankrupt him. Maybe we can 110 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: just lock him up and put him in jail. Putting 111 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: and locking up your political opponents is what Vladimir Putin does. 112 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: And then, by the way, he'll kill you if that 113 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: doesn't work. He just did it. He just killed his 114 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: opposition leader. Dictators and tyrants kill people. They lock people up, 115 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: They put them in jail to silence them, and then 116 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: they take their longings from them. Now are We're supposed 117 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: to be a free country, But based on what we're 118 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: witnessing right now, we are no longer a free country. 119 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: We are no longer a country where you have the 120 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: right to protect your witnesses. And as a as a journalist, 121 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: by the way, and I'm not let me rephrase that, 122 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: I'm not a journalist. I'm a I'm a commentator. But 123 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: I have people that come to me as a whistleblower 124 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: that I will protect and I shouldn't have to worry 125 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: that I'm going to go to jail. I shouldn't and 126 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: they shouldn't have to worry. And I want you to 127 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: also think about what messages sends two whistleblowers. You look 128 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: at the irs whistleblowers that came out against the Biden families, 129 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: and many of them were actually liberal saying what we 130 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: just witnessed with the Biden family is is total corruption 131 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: and cover up at the highest levels. Look at the 132 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: people that came forward and have exposed a sweetheart deal 133 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: of the Biden crime family which not only was going 134 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: to let Joe Biden off the hook, but it was 135 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: going to let Hunter Biden off the hook. And then 136 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: it was going to give him immunity for any future 137 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: prosecutions for any crimes that were committed by him in 138 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: the past. That deal fell apart because it was exposed 139 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: and there was a judge that was at least honest 140 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: enough to say, this is insane and no, this is 141 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: not ideal that I will accept from the federal government. 142 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: But what we are now witnessing in real time is 143 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: that if there is someone that they don't like that 144 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: they want a silence, the government can spy on you. 145 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: They can set you up or as it was described 146 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: by that undercovered person the other day, and give you 147 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: a nudge, right, They can then tie you up in litigation, 148 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: they can financially bankrupt you. And that's no different than 149 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: what this reporter, catherin Heritage is testifying. She's saying, I 150 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: was protecting my confidential sources, and now they're holding me 151 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: in contempt. And now they're saying because I was exposing 152 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 1: and had multiple sources that said they were concerned that 153 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: by working with me to expose corruption and misconct they 154 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: would be identified and exposed. They're also sending a message, well, hey, 155 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: don't take the risk, sources, because eventually we'll get to 156 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: you too, because we're going to get to the reporter. 157 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 2: There's a lot of reporters out there. 158 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: That would not stand by this hardcore like Catherine has 159 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 1: done to protect their witnesses. There's a lot of reporters 160 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: that wouldn't have the cojones and to stand up to 161 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: a corrupt government system. But the message now is clear, 162 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: and why I wanted you to hear what Catherine just 163 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 1: had to say is that in America today, the message 164 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: that's being sent now by federal prosecutors who are holding 165 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: her in contempt, who are going to be charging her 166 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: eight hundred dollars a day, is that if you are 167 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: another reporter out there, you better pay attention, right if 168 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: you're a conservative out there, so dif what they're doing 169 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: with Donald Trump, you better pay attention. How many people 170 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: can can withstand what Donald Trump has gone through? I mean, 171 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: luckily Donald Trump is a man that has money. Could 172 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: I withstand what he's gone through financially?

Don't expose what you're saying that's 194 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 1: being done that is wrong, because if. 195 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 2: You do, we will find you. 196 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: We will come after the person you're telling, and they're 197 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: gonna roll on you and give us the files that 198 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,559 Speaker 1: we need.

Basically, journalists I know are saying, I can't 201 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: get people in the government to talk to me anymore 202 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: when it comes to government corruption. Now they'll leak to 203 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: me right things that won't get them in trouble, But 204 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,079 Speaker 1: outside of that, they're not gonna expose government corruption. The 205 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: reason why they're not going to do it is because 206 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: it can put them in financial ruin. 207 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 2: And if they do right, if they do. 208 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: We're gonna know who you are anyway.

All because 229 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: she was an actual journalist. 230 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 2: It's not a hack. 231 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: All because they wanted to make it clear that you 232 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: can't really expose the Biden crime family or any other 233 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: liberals that are corrupt in our government, because if you do, 234 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 1: we will fire the reporter and then we will let 235 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: the Feds know who it was you were talking to. 236 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: Imagine being one of those confidential sources that is risking 237 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,079 Speaker 1: it all to expose government corruption. And then you find 238 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 1: out the reporter you're talking to has been fired or 239 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,959 Speaker 1: let go, and all of the documents that she said 240 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: trust me now are in the hands of that corrupt organization, 241 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: CBS News, and more than likely are now in the 242 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: hands of the federal government. Well, there's a clear message now, 243 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 1: not only if you're a confidential source and we want 244 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: to find out who you are, we'll just go after 245 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 1: the reporter and force them in a submission. Now she 246 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: is facing fines of eight hundred dollars a day for 247 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: contempt of court charges against her for not giving up 248 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 1: her sources. But now we found out what happened with 249 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: CBS News, We now know the meanists broadcasting network. CBS 250 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: News locked her out of the building, seized all of 251 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: her files, and said that she was working with sources 252 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: to expose government corruption. Much of that corruption was the 253 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: Biden crime family. CBS News' decision to seize my reporting 254 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: records crossed a red line, she said that she believed 255 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: should never be crossed by any media organization. But guess 256 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: what now, if you're a confidential source, are you going 257 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: to take the risk and listen to the last thing. 258 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 2: She says. 259 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 3: The litigation and being held in contempt have taken a 260 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 3: tool on me and my career. 261 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 4: This is not a battle you can fight alone. 262 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 3: I am grateful for the support of fellow journalists and 263 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 3: multiple First Amendment organizations, including the Reporter's Committee for Press Freedom, 264 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 3: the Freedom of the Press Foundation, the Coalition for Women 265 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 3: in Journalism, the Night First Amendment Institute, the Society of 266 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 3: Professional Journalists, as well as the Columbia Journalism School, of 267 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 3: which I am a graduate. I have also been fortunate 268 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 3: to have the support from my former employer as I 269 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 3: continue to fight this case. 270 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 4: Not many journalists could count on a former. 271 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 3: Employer, in this case, Fox News, to support a costly 272 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 3: and vigorous defense of the First Amendment. That is why 273 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 3: the Press Act comes at the right time, when independent 274 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 3: journalism and news platforms are expanding opportunities for reporting diverse 275 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 3: voices that strengthen our democracy. I know I joined many 276 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 3: journalists who are encouraged by the recent comments of the 277 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 3: Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who said he hopes to 278 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 3: have the legislation through the Senate and on the President's desk. 279 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 4: This year. 280 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 3: I deeply appreciate the committee's commitment to this legislation and 281 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 3: holding this public hearing. 282 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: You look at what she's done, and I want to 283 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: be clear, this woman is amazing. But how many other 284 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: journalists don't have what she has a former employer and 285 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: Fox News channel that will stand by you in this 286 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: case that she's involved in now that could bankrupt her. 287 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: And how many journalists don't have all those organizations, including 288 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: journalism schools that will stand behind you because you've been 289 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: such a rock star reporter for decades. And then what 290 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 1: reporter out there now is going to ever trust trust 291 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: CBS News ever again? I think what we now know 292 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: and I think it's pretty clear, is it. Catherine Herriage 293 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: is an individual that was brave enough to do her 294 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: job the right way. But if you're at CBS News now, 295 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: are you going to be as brave as her? 296 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 5: No? 297 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: Because CBS News sent a very clear message, we don't 298 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: do journalism here. We do propaganda here. We are a 299 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: machine of the state. CBS News is state media who's 300 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: ever in charge on the left and the government. That's 301 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: what we report on, That's who we report two. CBS 302 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: News doesn't do journalism journalism is and I've been saying 303 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: this for a long time, and people say to me, oh, 304 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: show me proof that there is bias media, right, that 305 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: there's a bias media out there, and we want to 306 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 1: see the. 307 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 2: Proof of that. Show me the proof. Here's the proof, folks. 308 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: Another example example nine five hundred and fifty three in 309 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: the last year of bias in the media. This is 310 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: the bias in the media. This is what happens when 311 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: it comes to bias in the media. And what CBS 312 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: News has said is, Hey, we work for the Democratic Party. 313 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: We are state media of the Biden and if you 314 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: call us and you tell us that we've got a 315 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: reporter that we need to get rid of, we'll get 316 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 1: rid of them. 317 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 2: And if you need their. 318 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: Files to find out who's leaking and who's talking inside 319 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: the government, we'll get those for you too. That is 320 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 1: CBS News seizing er files. This is something that would 321 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:00,120 Speaker 1: have been on a mass. 322 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 2: Five years ago. 323 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: But when Donald Trump broke Washington and when he broke 324 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: the media in twenty sixteen, these are the repercussions for that. Okay, 325 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 1: these are the repercussions for exactly that. This is the 326 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: fallout of Joe Biden or I should say if Donald Trump, 327 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 1: excuse me, winning in sixteen, Donald Trump broke the media, 328 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,199 Speaker 1: Donald Trump broke the deep state, and now they're fighting 329 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: back like never before. And this is how they're doing it. 330 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: She had her stuff locked up and they said you're 331 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 1: out of here, and she wasn't allowed to take her 332 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 1: stuff with her, and then they rummaged through her stuff. 333 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: I mean, if I do my show in a studio 334 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: and I have my locker and my stuff's locked up 335 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: and then they have access to it, doesn't matter. I mean, 336 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: this goes back to ethics and journalism like CBS News, 337 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: and what they just did is corruption at the highest level, 338 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 1: seizing her files and then and then rummaging through her 339 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: reporting and finding out who she was talking to, and 340 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: god knows who else they gave all. 341 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 2: That information to. This is not her fault. 342 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 1: There's also a lot of information that's on a laptop, right, 343 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 1: I mean, are on your computer that is locked. But 344 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 1: if they own that computer, they see they can seize 345 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 1: that as well. And again this is about intimidation, saying 346 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: to every journalists out there, hey, don't do a really 347 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 1: good job, just do an average job. Don't don't push 348 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: too many buttons. Okay, just just just push one or 349 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,959 Speaker 1: two buttons, just kind of tell the stories. And if 350 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: there's something that's smaller, little, then you can do that, Okay, 351 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: But but don't really go all in. 352 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 2: And whatever you. 353 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:03,479 Speaker 1: Do, don't challenge the most powerful areas or leaders in 354 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: our government if they are Democrats. That is the message 355 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: that CBS News just sent. And they sent not just 356 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,479 Speaker 1: that message, but a message to every other journalist. Imagine 357 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: if you're an independent journalist. Imagine if you're like a 358 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 1: small journalist. Imagine if you're an up and coming journalist 359 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: at an organization. Now, can you imagine how many stories 360 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: are going to be silenced because of what just happened 361 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: at CBS News. Because what they're gonna say is if 362 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: I if I'm risking my livelihood to basically be a whistleblower, 363 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 1: or I'm risking my career by helping you expose what 364 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: I'm witnessing. Okay, and CBS News will do this to 365 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 1: their top political reporter. What are the chances tomorrow I'm 366 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: gonna give this story to someone that's that's a lot smaller, 367 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 1: slim to none. Yes, Well, and that was the betfort 368 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: of us not having computers back then because everything was 369 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: on paper. Look, I think you can certainly go back 370 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: to that if that, but I don't think that fixes 371 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 1: the problem. And there's also the other thing is right now, 372 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: how much is the government just flat out spying on 373 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:17,719 Speaker 1: people when they want to know what they're doing. There 374 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be any repercussions for spying. Are listening 375 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: in or wire tapping or doing anything to any person 376 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: now that you want to get intel out of the 377 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: government is no longer of the people for the people, 378 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: by the people. It is a government that is now 379 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: taking over. I've said this on the show before and 380 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: I'll say it again. Listen to me when I tell 381 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 1: you this. The Democratic Party is dead. They are no 382 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 1: longer a democratic party. They are Marxists, they are socialists, 383 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: and they are communists, and they are masquer rating Okay, 384 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: they are masquerating around as Democrats. They are no longer democrats. 385 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: They are Marxist, they are socialists, they are communists, and 386 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: they are not here to help you. They are Marxist, 387 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: they are socialists, they are communists, and they want a 388 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: government that controls the press the same way it does 389 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 1: in Russia or Cuba. 390 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 2: Or Venezuela or. 391 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 1: China, and they want a KGB force in America, which 392 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: is what they've created with a deep state that is 393 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: constantly reminding the public and the workers of the government, 394 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 1: you better be quiet and do what we tell you 395 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 1: to do, and if you don't, we'll come after you. 396 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: And hell, we're so powerful now, we'll even lock up 397 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: a former president of the United States of America and 398 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. And if you think you can withstand financially 399 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: what it's going to cost to defend yourself, well, hey, 400 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,919 Speaker 1: look at Donald Trump. We've almost taken everything from him. 401 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,959 Speaker 1: That's the message, do you I mean, I'll say one 402 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: last thing about this, Donald Trump. Do you understand he 403 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: was hours away from and being in financial ruin because 404 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: of a corrupt system in New York. He was literally 405 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: hours away from having his property seized from him in 406 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: the most incredible display of government corruption that I've seen 407 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: in my entire lifetime, where they were like, we are 408 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: just going to take everything from you all because you're 409 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 1: running for president and we're afraid we can't beat you 410 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: on election day, so we're going to destroy your life. 411 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: We are going to destroy everything that you've done, and 412 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: we're going to take it all from you. That is 413 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: what our federal government and that is what our state 414 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: governments are now saying to anyone that is powerful or 415 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: strong and standing up for democracy, standing up for freedom 416 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: of speech, standing up for freedom expression, standing up for 417 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: First and Second Amendment rights. 418 00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 2: And if you're a journalist and you get. 419 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: A phone call and it's from somebody high up in 420 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: our government that says, I need to tell you about corruption, 421 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: and I need to know that you're gonna protect me 422 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 1: no matter what. The days of Woodward and Bernstein are over. 423 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 1: They will seize your files, and the government will come 424 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: in and they will find out who you are, and 425 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,919 Speaker 1: then they will come after you and they may even 426 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: lock you up. And oh, by the way, journalists, we'll 427 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: cost you eight. 428 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,640 Speaker 2: Hundred dollars a day in contempt. 429 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: If you don't give us what we tell you, which 430 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 1: is give us your source, and then we'll maybe get 431 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: you fired or quote laid off. Now I go back 432 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: to what I said about Donald Trump and what Donald 433 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: Trump went through and what he's going through. Now, this 434 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: is a game plan, and it's one of it full 435 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,120 Speaker 1: blown intimidation. 436 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 2: This is what, by the way, they did with a 437 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 2: lot of. 438 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: People that were in and around January the sixth who 439 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: were not insurrectionists. Okay, there was people I could watch 440 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: them and see them on video that cross the line. 441 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 1: There are people that attack lawn Horsement on January the sixth, 442 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: and they should be held accountable for what they did. 443 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 1: They should be held accountable. But there was a lot 444 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: of peaceful protesters that were there. And you have the 445 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: right to protest in a free country. But we're not 446 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: a free country anymore. And that's also the signal that 447 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: our deep state and our government is sending to us. 448 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 1: If we don't like you, if you get out of line, 449 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 1: if you say too much, if you do too much, 450 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: we are then going to come after you.
