Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Conservative Media Infighting & The Iran Ceasefire

[03:14 - 15:08]

• Splintering in “Conservative Inc.”

  • Adam opens by highlighting rifts between major conservative commentators who once propelled Trump:
    • “Tucker Carlson got upset all week. Megyn Kelly, Dave Smith, Alex Jones… that coalition... became big alternative media is now going full blast anti-Trump along with the Democrats.” (Adam Weiss, 05:14)
  • Weiss frames these divides as existential threats to the movement, especially with midterms on the horizon.

• Trump’s Controversial Easter Tweet

  • Trump’s inflammatory Truth Social post (“Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day all wrapped up in one... Open the effing strait, you crazy bastards... Praise be Allah.”) sparks strong reactions.
  • Tucker Carlson condemns Trump's religious mockery:
    • “No decent person mocks other people's religions... To mock other people's faith is to mock the idea of faith itself...” (Tucker Carlson, 07:11)
  • Weiss speculates that Trump’s incendiary tone is a negotiation tactic, citing his history:
    • “Maybe he just did that as, man, I’m going to send a firebomb on Easter Day. Was it appropriate? Look, that's between him, God, the American people.” (Adam Weiss, 08:22)

• Alex Jones on Trump’s State of Mind

  • Jones and a guest discuss constitutional crisis scenarios, the 25th amendment, and fear of “extinction level event” threats to Iran:
    • “That’s how dangerous this is. That’s how risky it is for the whole...” (Unknown, 10:01)
    • “If he follows through on that, the whole world is screwed.” (Unknown, 10:14)
  • Jones asserts Democrats only embolden Trump with their antagonism.

• Jacqueline Toboroff’s Take

  • Blames legacy media and “Islamists” (not Jews or Israel) for America’s woes.
  • “We are amidst the Islamist takeover. We are not amidst the Jewish takeover. Our media... is owned by Arab oil nations as well as the CCP.” (Jacqueline Toboroff, 11:16)
  • Argues leftist policies use racial politics to “tank American institutions,” accusing figures like Zoran Mandani (NY state legislator) of leveraging identity politics for revolutionary purposes.

Memorable Quotes

• “At its core is the acknowledgement that we are not in charge of the universe... only if you think you are, do you talk this way.” (Tucker Carlson, 07:45)
• “It seems like big chunks of MAGA Conservative Inc.... is really full-blown anti-Trump.” (Adam Weiss, 10:52)

2. Media Coverage of the Iran Ceasefire: “Victory” or “Cave”?

[17:03 - 28:03]

• Split Narratives: Mainstream Media Coverage

  • Weiss observes the same event (Trump’s agreement to a ceasefire if Iran reopens Strait of Hormuz) was covered with wildly different headlines:
    • “Fox News said Iran blinked. CNN went ‘backing down.’ On Ms. Now [MSNBC], Simone Sanders Townsend said Trump caved.” (Adam Weiss, 17:03)

• Guest Matt Stull’s Military Analysis

  • Stull defends Trump’s hardline negotiation style:
    • “He’s got a real plan... he talks a big rhetoric, has a big stick...” (Matt Stull, 19:46)
    • “He is the master negotiator... the best thing that could have happened for our country.” (Matt Stull, 21:39)
  • Stull insists U.S. military operations under Trump are more effective, and that criticisms of language (“leave no man behind”) are mere ‘semantics’ dividing the public.

• Media’s Priorities Critiqued

  • Weiss and Stull are incredulous that coverage focused on gendered language during a rescue operation rather than military accomplishment:
    • “In the middle of a war, they’re worried about that. This is what he’s worried about?” (Adam Weiss, 23:35)
    • “Their points are always to divide, to destroy... it was an amazing military operation to rescue our downed aviator.” (Matt Stull, 24:00)

• Partisan Hollywood Comparison

  • Weiss sarcastically notes: “If Obama was president and he pulled off that mission... three days of Hollywood coverage... But I don’t see the coverage... If Obama was the president, I think we would see that coverage.” (Adam Weiss, 25:10)

Memorable Quotes

• “It was all preloaded like a bullet in a chambered gun.” (Matt Stull, 19:46)
• “He’s unstoppable... the guy did unbelievable bombing on targets... he didn’t chicken out.” (Matt Stull, 27:15)

---

3. California Politics: Newsom’s PR Blunders, Family Scandals, and Trump’s Endorsement

[31:14 - 41:52]

• $19 Million PR Contract for California

  • Weiss rails against Gavin Newsom for awarding a major PR contract to a New York firm, calling it an ‘outrageous’ use of taxpayer funds.
  • “Where have you been for seven, eight years that you need to hire a PR firm to brighten up the image of California? Absolutely ridiculous.” (Adam Weiss, 31:14)
  • Guest Corinne Clifford blasts the out-of-state hire:
    • “His PR firm is based out of New York... that shows you that no one in California wants to do business with him.” (Corinne Clifford, 33:00)

• First Lady Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s Controversies

  • Clips surface of Siebel Newsom’s progressive parenting tactics:
    • “I've given our boys dolls... care and caregiving is not just reserved for women...” (Jennifer Siebel Newsom, 34:47)
  • Clifford and Weiss criticize her for “deconstructing gender roles” and question her psychological fitness, referencing her public comments about accidentally killing her sister as a child.

• Reaction to Andrew Tate/Charlie Kirk Claims

  • Siebel Newsom alarmed her son admired Andrew Tate and Charlie Kirk, leading the family to limit his exposure to “dangerous and limiting narratives.”
    • “We’re working on legislation to hold tech companies accountable...” (Jennifer Siebel Newsom, 38:45)

• Trump Endorses Steve Hilton for Governor

  • Debate whether Trump should get involved in CA primaries or let the contest play out.
  • Clifford supports Hilton’s endorsement, expresses skepticism regarding election integrity in California.

Memorable Quotes

• “She’s admitting now that she actually murdered her own sister in a golf cart situation... she’s saying that she feels for people in prisons and jails because she actually lives with the guilt...” (Corinne Clifford, 36:24)
• “Imagine living with her as your mother.” (Adam Weiss, 39:44)
• “The elections are corrupted in California... we are already finding election corruption in Los Angeles.” (Corinne Clifford, 41:25)

4. The White House Press Corps: Access, Bias, and Behind the Scenes

[45:25 - 56:16]

• Inside the Press Briefing Room

  • Weiss and Clifford detail how “legacy media” hold prime seats, with independent/new media (like Real America’s Voice) forced to stand for hours or relegated to the back:
    • “There’s 55 seats for mainstream media. New media like myself... we don't get seats... the White House Press Correspondents association controls that room.” (Corinne Clifford, 47:29)
  • President Trump is described as unusually accessible to friendly outlets, even if major networks don’t broadcast non-mainstream questions.

• Easter Monday with the Easter Bunny at the White House

  • Surreal highlights of Trump holding an Iran press conference beside a costumed Easter Bunny, “yucking it up.”
  • “It was Trump 101... only Trump can pull that off.” (Adam Weiss, 45:25, 52:52)
  • Clifford speculates the Bunny was Dan Scavino, and praises Trump’s unpredictability and military acumen.

• General Kane’s Leadership and Levity

  • General Dan Kane is lauded for his humor and resolve:
    • “We consume more than 6 million meals and... 2 million energy drinks and a lot of nicotine. But I am not saying we have a problem... Our objectives: create the conditions for peace.” (Gen. Dan Kaine, 54:34)
  • Clifford urges prayer for the military and says Trump’s goal is peace, not war.

Memorable Quotes

• “President Trump is very fair with his questions, and he lets all of us ask him questions. So it is an incredible experience.” (Corinne Clifford, 49:13)
• “I'm just so grateful and thankful that President Trump is in charge of our military because you cannot figure out what he's going to do next.” (Corinne Clifford, 53:13)
• “President Trump has shown that he's not trying to create war, he's trying to create peace at a jump.” (Corinne Clifford, 55:52)

Final Takeaways

• Deep Conservative Divides: There’s clear disunity among right-wing personalities over Trump’s tactics and rhetoric, especially regarding the Iran crisis.
• Media Mistrust/Hostility: Both mainstream and alternative coverage is painted as deeply partisan and agenda-driven; Weiss and guests double down on the notion that “real” news is only available outside ‘legacy’ channels.
• California as Target: Newsom, his wife, and progressive CA politics are ridiculed and held as cautionary tales of liberal excess and perceived moral confusion.
• Pulled-Back Curtain on Access: The episode gives a rare, if subjective, look at the hierarchy and gatekeeping inside the White House press room, with complaints about legacy media’s dominance.
• Through it all, the episode is a testimony to the “us vs. them” narrative prevalent in MAGA circles: embattled, beleaguered, and always fighting on both cultural and political fronts.

Media Exposed with Adam Wise starts now.

[Adam Wise]

Welcome back to Media Exposed. Seems like the truce is holding up a little bit between the Iran United States and what what happened over this is Conservative Inc. The conservative media which helped propel Trump to the White House is really splintered now and politics flies by. Next thing you know, in a blink of an eye, we'll be at the Midterms. God forbid we lose those midterms. We'll be stuck in this perpetual ever hearings, impeachment. Who knows what the Democrats will do? But that's what we're at. Tucker Carlson got upset all week. Megyn Kelly, Dave Smith, Alex Jones, all these people that came together last time to repel Trump to the White House, that became alternative media, became big alternative media is now going full blast anti Trump along with the Democrats. So that's what we're going to take a look at that. Also, we had SNL was terrible over the weekend. I'll play something that they said that was absolutely, you know, way below the belt. And I want to discuss Mayor Mondani. He's always making big news. But I want to make a. I want to welcome my next guest is Jacqueline Toboroff. Jacqueline is the author of Super Moms is actually substack Super Moms. Right. Jacqueline, author of Super Moms, activated independent journalist. And you got to check out her substack also. Jacqueline, I want to bring you on because you're very in the weeds of the conservative movement, Conservative politics all day long. I want to show how it all started. On Easter morning, I'll show the audience the first tweet that Trump put out. It was a Sunday. Trump said Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day all wrapped up in one. There'll be nothing like it. Open the effing straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell. Just watch Praise be Allah. President Trump after that happened. I want to show you the video real quick and get your reaction. Let's go to cut one. Tucker really went off. Let's go to cut one.

[Tucker Carlson]

Who do you think you are? You're tweeting out the F word on Easter morning. You'll be living in hell. Just watch Praise be to Allah. So obviously you're mocking the religion of Iran. Okay, if you seek a religious war, that's a good idea. But by the way, no decent person mocks other people's religions. You may have a problem with the theology. Presumably you do if it's not your religion and you can explain what that is. But to mock other people's faith is to mock the idea of faith itself. And we should never mock that because at its core is the acknowledgement that we are not in charge of the universe. We did not build it. We won't be here at the end of it. We can destroy life. We cannot create it because we are not God. The message of all faith at the biggest picture level is the message in our Bible, which is you are not God and only if you think you are, do you talk this way. But it's not just mockery of Islam.

[Adam Wise]

So that was Tucker that brought that together, which was unusual because usually he's on the side of Trump, but he had to say that because he felt it was a really bad thing to say. But Trump's always putting out the art of the deal, which maybe he needed to do that to get a reaction because his true social. During the first term, we lived on a 24, 7 hour news cycle. It was Trump's tweets that we lived on. And every time Trump would tweet, some would make news. Now he has Truth Social, but maybe he's not getting the reaction he once would on every truth social. So maybe he just did that as man, I'm going to send a firebomb on Easter Day. Was it appropriate? Look, that's between him, God, the American people. They can all judge. I don't know on that one. Maybe he should have been calmer on Easter. But look, at the end of the day, midweek, we had a ceasefire, right? So he had this deadline. He put the deadline out. And the Iranians are not normal negotiators. People are evil. They kill their people. So, I mean, you might have to put a gun to their head like that. And even another friend who's been always on Trump's side, watch what he said. I'm going to show you. Cut to the audience here. Let's go to Alice Jones. What he said.

[Alex Jones]

How do we 25th amendment is that

[Unknown Male (Conversation with Alex Jones)]

the problem is to get the 25th amendment harder than impeachment. You have to get 2/3 of the House and 2/3 of the.

[Alex Jones]

So what do we do?

[Unknown Male (Conversation with Alex Jones)]

Tackle Trump and pretend. Let him pretend he's president and publicly report that he's going through a health issue issue and Vance take over. It literally needs to be something like that. It's that bad. The I've known you in a long time.

[Alex Jones]

You've never called for a internal coup

[Unknown Male (Conversation with Alex Jones)]

before, ever, ever, ever. But that's how dangerous this is. That's how risky it is for the whole.

[Alex Jones]

Yeah, if I was the Democrats, I'd stop poking Trump and messing with that only makes it worse. Like, you guys need to watch out. This isn't a guy acting like he's crazy. This is real.

[Unknown Male (Conversation with Alex Jones)]

The well, what's there going to be to take over in 2026 or 2028 if this hits the fan? If, if we get it, he's threatening an extinction level event for the people of Iran tomorrow. Do nobody think there'll be any blowback from that? If he follows through on that, the whole world is screwed.

[Alex Jones]

You were saying during the break, there's other ways to do this. People need to just not just tell him the truth. Like Suzy Walsh said, it's time to just not, I mean, say what you said, what you just said.

[Unknown Male (Conversation with Alex Jones)]

Yeah. Well, legally and constitutionally, the vice president is an independent elected official, the same as the legally and constitutionally, the only oath any member of the military takes, any member of the State Department takes, any member of the intelligence community.

[Adam Wise]

Jackie, I was just playing the clip of Alex Jones before that was Tucker, and they became, like I said, this coalition that he won last time. But it seems like big chunks of MAGA Conservative Inc. Which became like the podcast world, the online world, the TV world, somewhat is really full blown anti Trump. What do you think of Tucker and Alex and Megan lately?

[Jacqueline Toboroff]

Well, I mean, look, I don't really religiously follow any of them. I see snippets of them on X. I try not to take it too seriously. I'm Team America. I see what is happening in America. We are amidst the Islamist takeover. We are not amidst the Jewish takeover. Our media, legacy media is owned by Arab oil nations as well as the ccp. Our American, American educational complex is owned by Arab oil nation and the ccp. Not Israel, not the Jews. So the issues that we have in America, whether it is Zoran Mandani or in Dearborn or in Minnesota or in Texas, Florida, Georgia, it is with Islamists. It is not with Jews or Israel.

[Adam Wise]

You know the funny thing with all these people, they're so obsessed with Jewish and Israel lately. And then they say, well, if you, if we complain about Israel, we get attacked.

[Alex Jones]

What do you.

[Adam Wise]

All day long they complain about Israel and the Jews and nobody takes them off the air, Nobody attacks them. And yet their following is getting bigger. So I, when they spout out that nonsense, it's bs, you know, So I did. We did want to talk about Zoram and Donni because I've caught your substack, I've caught your Instagram lately, and you make some great points here. And early in the week, you know, he put out a. He gave a plan to the Justice Department. I'm not sure if you saw this Zora Mandani, which he's supposed to have. No, no more diversity, equity, inclusion. But instead they called it. He addressed it by calling it longstanding inequities and harmony. Dillon tweeted, she did harmony, Dylan. She tweeted. Let me just show you what she tweeted. She tweeted. Sound fishy and illegal. So I think he's trying to be cute, but I don't know what his diverse equity, inclusion he's talking about or inequities. Because when I go in that subway, Jacqueline, every employee is that minority. Seems like. Seems like half the employees for city government are minorities. I'm looking for people of my color, but they don't work. So give me your thoughts on all this nonsense and equity nonsense that they're spouting out lately. Zoran and his team.

[Jacqueline Toboroff]

Yeah. So this is like the Jizya tax and that is when Islamists tax non Muslims basically just for existing. They are putting this under the umbrella of progressive politics. It is not. Zoran is an Islamist. The whole point is bringing forward the revolution that is tanking every American institution. They are using this blacks to tank the financial institutions. We heard exactly what his wife thinks about blacks. She uses the N word casually. They have zero respect or regard for black. There is still slavery in the Middle East. So what Zoran Mandani is doing is under the umbrella of Democratic Socialists of America. He is using blacks to punish whites. And whites make up 30% of the population in New York City, yet they generate half of the total income and they represent the 70% of income of income taxpayers.

[Adam Wise]

I want to bring you back next week, Jack, to finish up on all this. Okay, thanks for joining us. We're going to. We'll continue next week on this stand up. Coming up, the ceasefire is in. But who won depends on what media outlet, what channel you trust. That and more coming up on Media Exposed.

Foreign.

[Adam Wise]

Welcome back to Media Exposed. There was a, you know, a ceasefire midweek and it depends what station you watched that. It all came down to who won. Did he cave Trump? Was it a victory? You know, it depends what outlet you watch. Just like everything in our society. A c fire was announced, a deal and the coverage split immediately. One screen on Fox, one screaming Ms. Now Simone Sanders Townsend open her broadcast. One word caved. Not. Not what a deal. Not looking it over before she even blinked, even read it. He said it caved. Critics argued Trump caved. That was the lead. CNN went backing down. Fox News said Iran blinked. Same press conference, same deal. Three networks, three opposite conclusions. What do we expect from the media when three notes watch the same press conference come up with the three different verdicts? None of them are covered in the news. It's all opinion these days. So I want to welcome my next guest. It's Matt Stull. Matt Stoll is a former fighter pilot, U.S. navy officer, lieutenant commander in the Navy, through a lot of missions. Matt, thanks for joining us. First time on Media Exposed.

[Matt Stull]

Good to be here, Adam.

[Adam Wise]

Matt, like everything, we like to look at the lens for media, but there's a ceasefire midweek and it depends what outlet you watched. It depends how the news was, you know. And Trump might have been a little harsh over the weekend, but boy, they came to the table. It seems like they made the point, opened the straight of Hormuz. I want to show you a clip here. It's cut 5 here, but this is the way Ms. Now described it right off the bat.

[Simone Sanders Townsend]

Evening everyone and welcome to the Weeknight. I'm Simone Sanders Townsend with Eugene Daniels and Jackie Alemani in for Alicia and Michael. Let's get right to tonight's Breaking news. Donald Trump just caved, backing down from his fake deadline, averting for now what the President described this morning as an attack on Iran that would lead to the death of a, quote, whole civilization. Moments ago, the President posted, quote, I agreed to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. The suspension is contingent on Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Now, Trump says he backed down based on talks with Pakistan, which is serving as an intermediary. He added, quote, we received a 10 point proposal from Iran and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate.

[Adam Wise]

You know, Matt, it's amazing. These same networks, they're calling a dictate or authoritarian. If he was actually a dictator in a country and someone in the press spoke to a president like that, if he was a dictate, you know how fast she'd be thrown in jail. Give me your thoughts on that analysis. And it was like the paint wasn't even dry yet. And that's her analysis. Give me thoughts on that.

[Matt Stull]

Well, of course, it's all preloaded like a bullet in a chambered gun, right? That's how this Democratic Party runs. They're all social communists. They're all unified. They're all funded by the liberal communists that have an agenda to overthrow the United States and it's never going to end. They have no plan. The President is awesome. He has a plan. He has tactics. He has plans in motion. He has so many plans in motion, no one can keep up with the guy. He's truly amazing. I believe he's a gift from on high and he's 10 steps ahead at every juncture. He took Nicolas Maduro in the middle of the night. Amazing. He squeezed Iran and he told them straight away, here's what we're going to do. If you don't come to the table, then we're going to have a problem. And then we hit him with force. These folks don't understand the force that the United States just unleashed with our awesome Department of War without the handcuffs on, with somebody like Secretary Warheadseth, United States military is unmatched. And our combat power is just incredible. And so I believe, however, Trump, Trump has a, he's, you know, he's got a real plan to hopefully free the Iranian people with that regime change. And he understands too, the implications of taking out infrastructure. So he's gonna, he's gonna talk a big rhetoric, he's gonna have a big stick that he bashes every now and again. But I think at the end of the day, he has every human's good intentions inside of his heart.

[Adam Wise]

Yeah, everybody went hyperbolic. The world's gonna end because of that tweet he did on Easter Sunday. But at the end of the day, he got what they wanted, right? You know, it's the art of the deal. You walk in a flea market and the guy's asking 40. You say, I'll give it to you for 10. And all of a sudden you start walking away and the guy says, come here, come here, I'll take it. But it's the art of the deal. He's really great at negotiating because he built buildings and he negotiated with all his contractors, did it on tv. He's a fabulous negotiator. And this is high stakes negotiating. And these personalities, these evil personalities, sometimes you might have to do that, right?

[Matt Stull]

But absolutely. And you nailed it. I mean, he is the master negotiator and he never stops negotiating. He's working plans day and night, unrelenting 24 7. The guy is a machine and he's just amazing. He's the best thing that could have happened from our country. And let's not mistake the unified plan of these crazy liberals. That's all they have, the bashing, the nonstop, the Trump's this, Trump's that. They don't understand what he's doing, they never will, and they'll never have a plan other than being anti Trump. And the best thing about this is after the President's gone, they're still going to be haunted because he's going to be that effective with his amazing legacy.

[Adam Wise]

It's breath of fresh air that we have. Our handcuffs are off. These military, they can beat fighters. They don't have to walk around with their head between the deck. We don't have someone, a general pretending there's a woman or man or fighting in the same way. Under the Biden administration, it was so woke the language. People didn't know what to expect. And the media is still at it because. I want to show you this clip. People are dying. We're trying to free a country. We're trying to help civilization. And look what Lawrence o' Donnell from Ms. Now, which was MSNBC is worried about. Let's go to cut six.

[Lawrence O'Donnell]

That brilliant rescue was described by the Secretary of Defense and by General Dan Kaine, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as a long standing American military rule of never leaving anyone behind.

[Matt Stull]

We leave no man behind.

[Lawrence O'Donnell]

That is of course the old school version of the idea back when only men flew American military planes. General Dan Kane the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff put it this way.

[General Dan Kaine]

We leave no one behind.

[Lawrence O'Donnell]

The general knows, unlike Pete Hegseth, that that could have been a woman they were trying to rescue and it might be a woman the next time.

[Adam Wise]

Matt, think about this. He has producers. This is, this is Ms. Now, NBC, the Peacock Network. He has producers and they go over it with the fine Couthoon over and over to say this is what we're going to discuss on national TV and that's what they come up with in the middle of a war. They're worried about that. This is what he's, this is what he's worried about, that the secretary defense. We're going to leave no man behind. Give me your thoughts on that.

[Matt Stull]

They will never stop. And that's semantics, right? I mean their points are always to divide, to destroy. But let's be clear, let's stay on point on this one. It was an amazing military operation to rescue our downed aviator. Absolutely incredible. The story and the truth of it we're not going to know for many months. I can't wait to hear about it in detail when we get the real facts afterwards and the after action reports that are actually what happened. But he, they did what was done in the most professional manner. It's a miracle that no one was lost. I mean personally, who cares about any gear that's, that's immaterial. We can replace that. But human life and our well trained aviators, both men and women, were involved and I'm sure it was just an incredible operation to be a part of. So his point is dead on. The Secretary of war cut offs and said go under the President's direction and you can't stop somebody when they delegate authority like that with US combat power. It's just telling. So all these liberals, they can just get lost with their nonsense.

[Adam Wise]

Matt, you served as a fighter pilot under Obama, right? Correct.

[Matt Stull]

I was under Bush and Obama and Trump won, right? Correct.

[Adam Wise]

Bush to son. So you notice the difference? I mean if this mission, let's reverse the scenario here and Obama was president and he pulled off that mission, finding those things, I mean we'd have three days of movie coverage, Hollywood coverage. This is out of a Hollywood movie. And I got to say this, and I saw a few people say it, but where's the glowing coverage of what we pulled off? This is out of a Rambo movie, something you only see in the movies. You didn't even know what happened in real life. But I don't see the courage that it deserves that the Media should be portraying for our military and what they did to capture these young men. You see it different. How do you see? I don't see the coverage. And I swear, if Obama was the president, I think we would see that coverage. What do you think?

[Matt Stull]

I totally agree, Adam. The coverage would have been, you know, spectacularly huge if it was a different president at the helm. But for the men and women who were part of the operation, you know, they volunteered, they wanted to be in the action. They were. They got to live it. And we will get to see what happened down the road. I guarantee it. It's going to be too great of a story. It's going to be amazing. Miraculous. You know, just unbelievable power, coordination and just resolve to get this done. And a testament again to the president who's given the directives, just get it done. And the Secretary of War who's empowered his regional commanders to make sure that they do what they need to do with the instruments that they need to get this accomplished and rescue our people.

[Adam Wise]

Maybe, Matt, you could, we can create a movie of this rescue and you could be one of the top commanders there. Let me show you this. Quick cut seven here. And Aaron Burnett, the way she, the way she said and covered the ceasefire.

[T]

And then, of course, Max, then you get to the practicality of people that will live in the moment. That's what the markets do. So the markets, of course, right now in futures trading, they have gone up because guess what? Trump has backed off. And there will be some who will call it, you know, Taco Trump always chickens out, which is making way too light of it. But it is also a truth, which is that he makes giant.

[Adam Wise]

The markets were doing great after that. She called it chickened out. Give me your final thoughts on that. Quick, final thoughts.

[Matt Stull]

It's crazy. It's crazy. Their unification is out there and they perpetuate it through some kind of media and they are unified. They're nuts. Trump is. He's unstoppable. I mean, that's really what it is. Chickens out. The guy did unbelievable bombing on targets, strategically, tactically, that he didn't chicken out. He's unbelievably ahead of them. So I read that article this morning in the Journal. It's preposterous. Of course markets are going to correct back down, which is a wonderful thing. We needed a 15, 20% correction in oil and we want it to go down. We want the straight open. We don't want taxes, we want information and energy to flow. And Trump's work in that angle all the way and he won't stop till he gets what he wants. And to that end, in closing, got it. Absolutely.

[Adam Wise]

Got to got to jump. Matt, thanks for joining us and I'm going to see you soon. Thank you Matt.

[Matt Stull]

Thanks.

[Adam Wise]

Thank you Matt. We're going to take a look at California Newsom, his wife. There's a lot happening there. We're going to break it down with one of the ways White House press corps who's in California.

[Adam Wise]

Welcome back to Media Exposed. Believe it or not, Gavin Newsom's Office awarded a $19 million contract to a New York PR firm. Wasn't me. To improve California's image. Like he's the governor for seven years. God bless this man. Taxpayer money to a New York firm to make the state look good because fixing the actual problems apparently wasn't on his table. Now we're going to talk about his wife, too. His wife. All of a sudden these clips have been surfacing about Jennifer Siebel Newsom. This week she went on camera complaining that her own son found Andrew Tate online and almost she had a breakdown because she found some masculinity. If the Newsom household can't imagine can't manage what their kid watches, why should California parents take advice from Gavin and his wife? Then there's a Trump endorsement of Steve Hilton. We're going to look at also, was that the right thing to do? I want to. And also I want to look. My next guest, Corrine Clifford. She's a White House press corps member, independent journalist. Corinne, thanks for joining us from the, I believe from the great state of California. She's in right now, LA neighborhood. But, you know, so much happening in California and you were out there. I wanted to bring in and we could discuss this, but he spent $19 million on a PR firm. Like I said earlier, it wasn't me, otherwise I'd be on vacation. So actually, you need to hire. Where have you been for seven, eight years that you need to hire a PR firm to brighten up the image of Californ California. Absolutely ridiculous. And I always found it in the Post there should be an outcry from all the media about this outrageous spending. Give me your thoughts on that thought.

[Corinne Clifford]

I think that it's outrageous, number one, that his PR firm is based out of New York. I mean, he's the California governor. It should be based out of California. That shows you that no one in California wants to do business with him. So that does concern me. You know, I've spent 20 years of my life in California. I raised my only daughter in California and Colorado. So I know a lot about Gavin Newsom. And as a matter of fact, he was in Malibu, California, just this last weekend. And he spent Sunday Easter in church and in Malibu. And my friends confronted him. My friends lost their house in Malibu and they told him to leave the church and he just smirked. And his wife said this is not the appropriate place to talk about this, but people in California hate Gavin Newsom. So how dare he even hire a publicist? He needs to just walk away from being a public servant because he's not a public servant. We're finding out that a lot of his funding comes from Chinese Communist Party.

[Adam Wise]

The idiocy. You're right. Great point you brought up. If you're going to spend this outrageous amount of taxpayers money, why don't you hire a communications PR firm in California, support the people of your own state. What do you hire an Edelman from. From New York for? God bless them. They had a great house in the Hamptons. They threw a nice party. I remember. But shouldn't you support your own State? Right.

[Corinne Clifford]

100%.

[Adam Wise]

So I wanted to show you this clip too, because his wife is. All these videos are starting appearing about his wife lately. She's some kind of kooky thing she's saying. Sounds like some of the women I used to live in the West Village woke as can be Adam High endorse. But someone you don't want to. Someone you don't want to date for more than three days. So let me show you this cut, cut 8 here, Jennifer discussing agenda roles. What's this cut 8 here?

[Mint Mobile Sponsor]

I've given our boys dolls, even if they tear the head off. I've given them dolls to learn that care and caregiving is not just an activity that's reserved for women, but that it's also an activity that is a responsibility of men. What I've done with both my daughters and my sons is if I'm reading a book and the protagonist is a male, I just change the he to a she and it just normalizes. For my sons in particular, it's not even. I don't even just do it for my girls. I do it for my sons because I want them to see that women can be the center of a story, that women matter, that women are interesting. At the end of the day, we're all kind of like in this place in history maybe where we're recognizing what it is to ultimately deconstruct all these gender roles and ultimately be human. And that's exciting to me. So, you know, I'll just continue to kind of do my work and try and deconstruct all of these like, limiting narratives about ultimately what it means to be human.

[Adam Wise]

This seems very weird coming from her first lady of California pushing boys to play with dolls, pushing roles and stories that don't exist because she needs to empower women. Women have been empowered for a decade or more. 20 years I've hear, I've lived in New York City and I've heard women empowerment, women power, women, this forever. So she seems way behind, but what's up with her? Give me your thoughts on what's up with the governor's wife with these comments.

[Corinne Clifford]

It's worse than that. And I never interrupt anyone, but I just want to tell you, she's admitting now she calls herself the first wife, the first woman of California. Well, guess what? She's admitting now that she actually murdered her own sister in a golf cart situation that happened when her, when they were seven years old, when they were young children. And she's got a lot of pain from that, but she's finally admitting it and she's saying that she feels for people who are in prisons and jails because she actually lives with the guilt of murdering her own sister. So we have a big mess brewing in California and I don't know why there's not more media attention on this. So this is the perfect topic for your show because you talk about everything that the media doesn't cover. I'm very concerned that Gavin Newsom's wife is admitting to us that she actually murdered her own sister.

[Adam Wise]

In between that whole video that you're talking about, which came out as well this week. There's actually no coverage about that. And I didn't know about that. And nobody picked up on that coverage, which was probably, look, it's a, that's heartbreaking that just to live with that, that's a lot of pain, right? But then she went about saying to the inmates, you, you're in here, you have to live with that too. And you probably. And she said somewhat in the words of, you're all not guilty as well. So she's, she's analyzing and making the, the sense of that. Her tragedy, which was probably accident, is the same as these murderers and killers and people that are in for felonies. She's missing a link. There's a big difference between your tragedy, which is probably an accident, obviously when she was 7, and people that are incarcerated for terrible crimes. I don't know how she's missing that link. There's something missing there, Correct? What do you think?

[Corinne Clifford]

Yes. And she's talking to cold blooded killers and trying to say that they shouldn't feel bad about what they did. Where we have a gentleman named Robert Young in prison in San Diego, California right now. Gavin Newsom's not giving him the pardon. All he did was found the alkaline diet. So we have political prisoners in California who've never done anything violent, and they're sitting in prisons and jails and Gavin Newsom won't pardon them. So how dare his wife Jennifer actually talk.

[Adam Wise]

What did he find? What did he find?

[Corinne Clifford]

That they deserve to be. To be founded.

[Adam Wise]

Let's go to Cut Nine. Watch this. He's complaining about her son. Found some alpha males online. Let's go to Cut nine quick here.

[Mint Mobile Sponsor]

My husband and I were alarmed when our. Our kids were watching sports online and my son knew about Andrew Tate and thought he was pretty cool and thought that his Republican grandfather, who's not a Trumper but a fiscal conservative, thought that my father would like Andrew Tate. So that's scary. We're like one of the most progressive households and our son is confused and asking all these questions. We're working on legislation to hold tech companies accountable and help them be a force for good in our kids and families lives, to really provide all the best in class resources and support for youth so that they don't go down this rabbit hole of very, very dangerous and limiting narratives around ultimately what it means to be a girl and what it means to be a boy. We owe it to them and ourselves to kind of heal this, this, this gift of modern technology. But curbing.

[Adam Wise]

No, Jennifer, you're probably not letting boys be boys. It's a simple phrase. We all grow it and girls be girls. And she's like, having a little breakdown because why he found a masculine robot online and she can't handle it. Oh, my God. Imagine living with her as your mother. Give me your thoughts on that one clip.

[Corinne Clifford]

And their son loved Charlie Kirk and Gavin Newsom admitted that. And they're not letting their son have access to anything Charlie Kirk's ever done, especially since Charlie Kirk was assassinated. They didn't allow their son to meet Charlie Kirk, who they admitted that their son said that he was their idol. So the bottom line is that when Gavin Newsom and Charlie Kirk did their very famous interview, they kept their own children away from Charlie Kirk. That's shocking to me. And now he's dead.

[Adam Wise]

It's terrible. And I want to jump on this other topic here because Donald Trump jumped in the gubernatorial primary early in the week and he said, I've known respected Steve Hilton, who's running for governor, watched his once great. He's truly a fine man. Once has watched his once great state gone to hell. Gavin Newscomb and Denmark have done absolutely horrendous job. People fleeing crime is increasing. I will help him. I will help him do so. As Governor and a great governor like Steve Hilton. Steve Hilton as my total endorsement. He'll be a great governor. It seems like Trump loves Fox News. I mean, if Steve wasn't a Fox News host and he's running against Chad Bianco, who's the second. They're really close in the polls. Give me your thoughts. And then endorsement. Should the endorsement happen or just let the Republican look at. I'm from, I'm from an old school. I like the primary being played out. I wish Trump wouldn't get involved so much in this. Give me your thoughts on that.

[Corinne Clifford]

I think that Steve Hilton is the right person to endorse. This happened just after Bianco and Hilton had a very serious debate that was actually monitored by Ambassador Rick Renell. And I think that Steve Hilton is the key for California. He's the sweetest, kindest man. And so I hope that California votes him in. I'm very concerned. The elections are corrupted in California. So stay tuned. I will keep you updated on that because we are already finding election corruption in Los Angeles and in California.

[Adam Wise]

Corinne, stay with me. Next block, we're going to talk about the White House press corps, how that works. That and more. Coming up on Media Exposed.

[Adam Wise]

Welcome back to Media Exposed. Early in the week on Monday, it was Easter Monday. Trump was there with the Easter Bunny. It was a sight to be seen. He was yucking it up, but at the same time was threatening Iran with the Easter Bunny. Next film. The world must have been like, what's happening here? This is straight out of Trump, or a bunny movie or a comedy or something. But it was Trump 101. And then he had a press conference. So what happened at the press conference was filled with journalists, tons of them. Same press corps that usually hits him hard. Trump is a threat to democracy, cannot get there fast enough to gobble up every statement, every word, every question. And then there's the Easter Sunday when Trump was on the ballot. I want to welcome back again, Corrine, for joining us again. Corinne, thanks for stepping in here. Corinne clifford, White House Press corps Usually you're at those press briefings, Corrine so that's why I want to dig deep into it here. What's it like on a Monday? There is that every outlet. It was open to the press. I wanted to give the audience kind of like what it's like being actually at the press room when the president said he's coming in, because you see the Room, you see features of it. I want to show you this first before you get into it. I want to show the audience. Cut 10, a clip of the briefing room and show them what it looks like. Let's go to cut 10 here.

[Jacqueline Toboroff]

Thank you very much.

[Matt Stull]

Thank you, sir.

[Adam Wise]

We'll come back to you.

[Jacqueline Toboroff]

Okay.

[Matt Stull]

Given that you are now dealing, you say, with a more reasonable, less extreme leadership in Iran, what does that mean for the protesters, for the human rights movement in that country after this conflict?

[Adam Wise]

So that gives a look. But that's like when the President comes, everybody wants to go in there, right? So what's it like in that briefing room once the President, who gets the front row, who gets the middle row? Do the people in the back ever get a question? Give a. Give our audience a little bit what it's like. And where is that when it's the White House? Where is that press room compared to the East Wing or the West Wing?

[Corinne Clifford]

And it's in the West Wing. It's the James S. Brady Press briefing room. And it's really small. There's 55 seats for the mainstream media. Now, new media like myself, of course, and of course, Real America's Voice, we don't get seats. And that's because the White House Press Correspondents association controls that room. And that's a 501C3. So that's a whole nother story for another day. But the bottom line is that if I had been at that press briefing, it would have been the most exhilarating experience of my life. Of course, being able to ask President Trump questions direct, being able to film him, being able to be around President Trump and his whole team is exhilarating, and it's something that I'm grateful for. However. However, the big issue is that mainstream media, especially cnn, is putting their equipment on each side of the press briefing room. So it's a tiny room. And it makes it very hard for people like me, new media, to be able to stand there. Because we're standing over. It's actually a fire hazard to have everyone's equipment from mainstream, mainstream media on either side of the room. So people like me and new media, we have to go five hours early and wait. And so I would have missed the whole Easter festivities, which is completely fine. I'm an adult. I can handle that. But the mainstream media is ruthlessly going cruel to new media.

[Adam Wise]

So the White House Press Corps association, they control the seats and they'll give the first row to ABC, NBC, CNN, Ms. Now. So the first three rows will go to the legacy media or all the rows. All 55 seats. They get to choose legacy media. Is that how it works? And then you get. And you have to stand in the bleach. You have to stand in the bleachers in the back. Is that how. Or you can slide up in the front or how does it work?

[Corinne Clifford]

So me and five of five of the girls on our side, including your journalists at Real America's Voice, we stand and we wait hours and hours and hours for a seat. Or we can send our cameraman. Oh, yes. On either side of the 55 seats. So we try to get as close to the front as we can because, you know, it's hard to see the very back. But President Trump does know who to ask questions from. And he does ask. He lets people ask questions. I could have asked a question. He's totally accessible. The problem is that many times, especially when he is going on to. When he is going on to Marine One, the mainstream media won't film new media like myself asking him questions. And therefore, you don't get to see many times when I ask him questions because I don't have a cameraman. And so, honestly, that's a big issue that the mainstream media, cnn, including even Fox News, they're not filming the new media asking President Trump questions. But President Trump is very fair with his questions, and he lets all of us ask him questions. So it is an incredible experience. I would never want to give up. It's worthy. And he's very honest about his answers.

[Adam Wise]

Quick question and an answer. Is there air conditioning in that small room?

[Corinne Clifford]

There is. There's no heat because it looks like

[Adam Wise]

this looks like can get hot. Oh, okay. At least is that condition.

[Corinne Clifford]

People get in fights

[Adam Wise]

when Trump is going over to the Marine One, the helicopter, and he has to take off somewhere and everybody's called over. Does everybody get to come over? Was it just quick gaggle with everybody or only certain reporters or everybody can come over?

[Corinne Clifford]

Everyone can come over but the pool reporters, which is the mainstream media, they get the primary view. However many times President Trump will walk over to me and other people that he knows, and he will let us ask him questions. So the bottom line is that President Trump is his own man and he chooses who he wants to talk to. You've seen him walk over to Brian Glenn. If you came, you've gotta come. It's an incredible experience. Your hair gets ruined. But the bottom line is that the helicopter is so strong. But President Trump is very fair with who he allows the questions to come from. And he's very accessible.

So when the President calls people into the Oval Office because he's got a few cabinet secretaries and other people from the outside gaggle in there, is that only the pool can come in there or how does that work?

[Corinne Clifford]

Yes, yes. And Real America's Voice is part of the pool. So you guys get to go in. Now I work for myself, so I don't get to go in unless I'm personally invited in by someone by the Trump administration. So that's a whole nother topic.

[Adam Wise]

Is Real America's Voice and other outlets always the pool or it's just certain weeks everybody gets to be the pool.

[Corinne Clifford]

Right. So the mainstream media is always the pool. And then Real America's Voice gets to be the pool like once every other week. And so that is really not fair because you guys have the best camera crew there is at the White House. You've got incredible cameramen and your cameramen always watch over me and protect me. And they should be allowed into the pool pretty much every week, but they're not. It's like every other week.

Let's go to cut 11. Because it was Easter Monday and this was a sight to be seen. Nobody could pull this off. And he doesn't laugh, he just continues. Watch this, cut 11.

[Unknown Voice (Easter Bunny Clip)]

I don't think it gets much more hostile than Iran. They're capable fighters, they're very tough people. And there are others like that. You don't mind when the enemy is weak, but that enemy is strong. Not so strong like they were about a month ago, I can tell you. In fact right now, now they're not too strong at all, in my opinion. But we're soon going to find out, aren't we?

[Adam Wise]

I think the Easter Bunny was like, what did I just get myself into? I'm not a policy, a war foreign policy expert, but somehow the Easter Bunny got in the panel there, right? I'm not sure if he jumped in Easter Bunny or he went back down and gave out his treats, but what a sight to be seen. Only Trump can pull that off. What? Give me your thoughts on the Easter Bunny being there.

[Corinne Clifford]

I love the Easter Bunny being here. All the children were there. They loved it. I think it's amazing. And of course the Easter Bunny. We don't really know who the real Easter Bunny was. It was probably Dan Scavino dressed as the Easter Bunny because President Trump loves him. But the bottom line is that President Trump is handling this situation in Iran. I'm not going to call it a full on war yet until Congress does That. But Operation Epic Fury is being handled so well. And I'm just so grateful and thankful that President Trump is in charge of our military because you cannot figure out what he's going to do next. And I'm allowed in the Pentagon press pass. I'm allowed a lot of these press conferences now. And so it's really incredible to hear in real life, in real time, what they're really doing, because mainstream media is not telling you the truth. This is a very calculated military action and President Trump is winning. And I think the Easter Bunny is happy to be there with President Trump during this time.

What we pulled off over the weekend, Corrine, was out of a Hollywood movie, a script capturing those pilots. And I thought if Obama was the president, there would be stories and already probably be a Hollywood movie in one week from his pals in Hollywood after what he pulled up. But Trump barely written about that amazing feat. But I want to show you General Kane with a moment of levity that he pulled off. Watch what he says on cut 12.

[General Dan Kaine]

We consume more than 6 million meals and by my estimate, more than 950,000 gallons of coffee, 2 million energy drinks and a lot of nicotine. But I am not saying that we have a problem. I've laid out the statistics, but it does not truly capture the nature of combat. This is gritty and unforgiving business. It's chaotic, it's hot, it's dark, it's unpredictable. And there's always unknowns. And our people proudly walked into those unknowns and continue forward. And through it all, the Joint force has demonstrated the unwavering resolve that the nation demands of us. We are a mission focused force and our objectives always is to create the conditions for peace. And today we have while be ready should that peace break, which we hope it is not.

[Adam Wise]

You know, President Trump would talk about this General Kaine when he was out of office and preparing to run for his third time. And he'd always these great stories about him and then now he pointed him. Give me your final thoughts on General Kaine and proud to be the armed forces again. Proud to let the military do what they do. Give me a quick, give me a quick final thoughts.

[Corinne Clifford]

We should all be praying every single day for General Kaine and everyone in our beloved US Military. They're doing an incredible job and we are going to win everything that's happening in every encounter with General Kaine in charge. And I'm just so grateful and thankful and I want people to pray for everything that's happening because President Trump has shown that he's not trying to create war, he's trying to create peace at a jump.
