Main Theme & Purpose

This episode of "Media Exposed" tackles how major news outlets frame and sometimes distort pivotal cultural flashpoints in America. Adam Wise aims to scrutinize the mainstream media's coverage of current events such as the Olympics, the Guthrie disappearance, the Super Bowl halftime culture war, the fallout from the Epstein files, and significant layoffs at the Washington Post. The episode strives to expose perceived double standards, highlight bias, and feature voices challenging prevalent mainstream narratives.

Key Topics and Highlights

1. Media Sensationalism and Bias

(Start – 05:00)

• Olympics & Guthrie Case:
  Wise criticizes the media for allegedly coercing athletes into politicizing the Olympics and for sensationalizing the Nancy Guthrie disappearance, especially when NBC interrupted Olympic coverage for wall-to-wall Guthrie speculation.

  “Whatever happened to innocent and proven guilty when you have that much media? Look, we're going to cover the media ... but also if it affects a human... This is what I felt happened here.” – Adam Wise (03:27)

• Media Bubble vs. Ordinary Americans:
  Both Wise and guest David Zier note that the media gives extraordinary attention when one of their own is involved, yet would ignore a similar case with an ordinary citizen.

2. Washington Post Layoffs, Blue Origin & Media Activism

(05:00 – 08:14)

• WaPo’s Downfall:
  Wise and Zier discuss the recent layoffs at the Washington Post, arguing that print media is a “dinosaur” and mocking media personalities’ outrage at what’s a normal business practice elsewhere.

  “Only business in America … They're losing millions ... He lays them off and they have, they all have meltdowns.” – Adam Wise (05:34)

• Jeff Bezos, Blue Origin & Corporate Interests:
  Zier argues Bezos is restructuring to solidify business relations with the government through his space company, which fuels WaPo’s supposed drift away from activism.
• Peggy Noonan & Beltway Bubble:
  Wise remarks on Noonan’s critical op-ed and the insularity of Beltway media.

3. Protest Coverage: Minneapolis and Police Narratives

(10:19 – 12:54)

• Selective Coverage:
  Wise and Zier allege only Fox News covered law enforcement’s response to Minneapolis protests; mainstream media ignored the story since local police (not ICE or federal agencies) quelled unrest, contradicting their preferred narrative.
• On-the-Ground Experiences:
  Zier recaps firsthand coverage of the protests, decrying a lack of police intervention earlier and crediting ICE’s Tom Holman for improved conditions.

4. Culture Wars: Super Bowl Halftime & Bad Bunny Controversy

(14:41 – 26:19)

• Halftime Divide:
  Wise finds the Super Bowl “boring” and criticizes Bad Bunny's halftime show for its Spanish-language performance and supposed anti-American sentiment.

  “Instead of questioning why the NFL thought this was appropriate ... imagine any other country allowing its biggest sporting event to speak a different language…” – Adam Wise (14:41)

• Guest – Javier Negro (President, RAV Hispanic):
  • Says Bad Bunny “doesn't represent the Hispanic community,” calling the performance “globalist” and “disrespectful.”
  • Argues many Hispanic-Americans want to work and assimilate, and media spins ICE operations and Trump policies unfairly.

  “Bad Bunny tried to show the world that the Hispanic community are like him. And that's not real. ... We represent ... the new generation of Hispanic power people who... want to live together with American friends.” – Javier Negro (17:34)

• Mainstream vs. Alternative Media:
  Coverage of TPUSA's “All American Halftime Show” as a cultural counter-programming example.

Notable Exchange on Language and Inclusion:

• The Breakfast Club Response Clip:
  Debate over what is “quintessentially American” and whether the backlash is rooted in xenophobia or in genuine cultural concerns.

  “America, I don't know if y' all know or not, but before this year, there have been 13 non American performers. ... Is it the language?” – Hallie Jackson (21:01)

• Negro counters:
  “...nobody understood his songs. And there are songs disrespectful to women. I don't want my American kid ... like following the steps of Bad Bunny.” (22:44)

5. Epstein Files: Media Reluctance and the Role of Independent Journalists

(27:42 – 38:55)

• Legacy vs. Independent Media:
  Wise slams legacy outlets for downplaying the significance of recent Epstein file releases, claiming they only act when forced by outside pressure.

  “The establishment protects its own until it's politically safe to pretend they care. All of a sudden now it's the biggest news. I wonder why.” – Adam Wise (27:42)

• Guest – Blair White:
  • Emphasizes that the scandal spans global elites, not party lines.
  • Critiques both mainstream media and the Trump administration for mishandling disclosure; urges transparency and leadership.

  “Anyone trying to turn the Epstein story ... into something that's partisan is a fool in my mind. ... Epstein was literally a funder of the Democrat Party ... the idea that it's partisan is false.” – Blair White (29:45)

• CNN Scrutiny:
  Wise questions the press’s selective scrutiny of figures close to Trump, in contrast to Bill Clinton and others associated with Epstein.
• Public Appetite for Justice:
  White contends Americans want real accountability and transparency, not partisan spin.

6. Cultural Polarization in Media – Bill Maher & Cancel Culture

(35:50 – 38:55)

• Bill Maher’s Frustration:
  Clip of Maher lamenting the inability to have civil disagreement with the left, noting how former friends (like Jimmy Kimmel) have “cancelled” him over small ideological differences.

  “…our leftist friends are not actually friends. They will abandon you at the drop of a hat over the slightest disagreement… he's feeling what all of us have been feeling for the last decade.” – Blair White (37:34)

• Personal Anecdotes:
  Wise and White share stories of lost friendships over political differences, identifying “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as a cultural driver behind the divides.

7. Politics and Patriotism at the Olympics

(40:44 – 51:56)

• Media Framing of Athletes:
  Wise accuses the media of prompting athletes to “badmouth the USA,” and sees NBC as celebrating defectors to other countries—while ignoring China’s abuses.

  “NBC trumpets American athletes choosing to represent China instead of America, celebrating what should be seen as betrayal. Completely ignoring China's human rights abuses...” – Adam Wise (40:44)

• Guest – Dr. David Schusterman:
  • Laments erosion of patriotic consensus, arguing the Olympics should be above political divides.
  • Advises athletes to focus on competition, not politics: “Compete for all of America because America is great ... you realize how great America is.”
• Double Standards:
  If a Democrat were president, Wise argues, the press wouldn’t ask such loaded questions about representing America.
• Generational Divide:
  Schusterman surprised that even older athletes express ambivalence about representing USA: “I think you’d learn to appreciate [America] ... after you’ve lived it.”

• On Washington Post layoffs:
  “In print media is a dinosaur, Adam. And when Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren come out and cry foul, you know you’re doing something right here…” – David Zier (06:22)

  “If it was grandma’s ear or grandma's ear, you’re lucky to get a sticker on the number seven ... but this is one of the media's own here.” – David Zier (09:23)

• On Super Bowl halftime "culture war":
  “Instead of questioning why the NFL thought this was appropriate … imagine any other country allowing its biggest sporting event to speak a different language…” – Adam Wise (14:41)

• On the need for independent journalism in exposing Epstein files:
  “Without independent media, citizen journalists and social media pressure, these files would still be buried, buried somewhere in the FBI closets.” – Adam Wise (27:42)

• On cultural polarization and civility:
  “…our leftist friends are not actually friends. They will abandon you at the drop of a hat over the slightest disagreement… he’s feeling what all of us have been feeling for the last decade.” – Blair White (37:34)

• On patriotism at the Olympics:
  “We all live and die together. And we cannot have this two fractured countries where, well, I'm like performing for my family and friends, but not for other people's family and friends, which doesn't make any sense to me.” – Dr. David Schusterman (43:14)

Summary Takeaway

[Adam Wise]

Terms welcome to Media Exposed this We're going to take a look at the Olympics. Big in the news. Media is pushing athletes to badmouth the USA while they're supposed to be representing America. Supposed to be playing sports. Why are they talking politics? The Epstein files. That's big in the news for 20 years. It wasn't that big in the news. I wonder why the media is still so obsessed with it. We're going to take a look at the Super Bowl. I found it extremely boring of a game but halftime. We're turning into the culture war again. Was that important? We're taking a look at the Guthrie families. My mom is still missing and the media is all over. This is it right to do that. Washington Post had some big layoffs, too. All sorts of crying from the media from that, that. More coming up on Media exposed.

[Hallie Jackson]

Do you dare to follow me?

Where it stops, no one knows we're going through.

[Adam Wise]

I've been doing this since I was 18. I've had hit jobs done against me. I've been attacked by media reporters. Am I afraid no truth will prevail. Fake news media, we're here to call you out. Head into the unknown.

[Public Investing Sponsor]

Media Exposed with Adam Wise starts now.

[Adam Wise]

Welcome back to MEDIA exposed. NBC broke from their Olympic coverage and went wall to wall with Guthrie speculation while the network's publicity publicly identified an individual merely brought in for questioning. Whatever happened to innocent and proven guilty when you have that much media? Look, we're going to cover the media, whether it's policy, government, politics, but also if it affects a human, an American that's going to possibly hurt their career, hurt their livelihood, hurt a lot of things. This is what I felt happened here. So take a look at that. There's protests happening still in Minnesota, but they were drawn down. Tom Holman said actually a couple days ago, we're out. We're leaving Minnesota. I think local law enforcement is doing their job better. We'll take a look at that. Also, there's been the peaceful protests all over the country. Is it really peaceful protests? And there's other things we'll look at Washington Post. Jeff Bezos last week laid off 300 people. Peggy Noonan wrote a column. We'll talk about that. I want to welcome my next guest, David Zier, host of Breaking Point right here on Real America's Voice. It's also the Field represent field, you know, spokesperson, correspondent field field correspondent for the Defense Department. I know he's been out there with the secretary of defense. You just made a visit with him. You just flew around with them. So big things are happening over there. And you said you went down to Blue Origin, right? You tell me earlier with Jeff, Jeff Bezos's hold. Jeff Bezos also is Blue Origin. He also owns the Washington Post to let the audience know. Yeah.

[David Zier]

I traveled with Pete Hegseth up to Rhode island where we build our submarines at the electric boat division of General Dynamics. They employ 25,000 people making the new Columbia class submarines which are going to Replace the Ohio class. And then I went up to Maine, to Bath, Maine, where they made over 5,000 ships over the last 400 years. We're building a guided missile destroyers. It was an epic trip. It was incredible. I did not go to Merritt island. But it relates to the WaPo story with blue Origin. And I can get into that because maybe it explains some of moves that WaPo has been making lately.

[Adam Wise]

You know, WaPo was like full activists during the first Trump administration. They seem to moderate a little bit, I notice. I got this subscription, I read it. Yeah, it's a lot. Seems a lot more. Let's say not. Let's say they took their medicine. They don't have Trump Derangement Syndrome as much as they did during the first Trump administration. Boy, with those 300 layoffs, whew. I saw Peggy Noonan wrote her op ed Scorch Earth against why is it only only business? They surround themselves and they attack like a journalist is not allowed to lose their job. Any other business, car business, steel, business, automation, business, any other business, it happens. You have to lay people off. Only business in America, David. They're losing millions of dollars. He lays them off and they have, they all have meltdowns. You notice that.

[David Zier]

Yes. In print media is a dinosaur, Adam. And when Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren come out and cry foul, you know you're doing something right here because Amazon makes a lot of money. I think they do cloud services even for the CIA. They do a lot of government business here. And you know, he laid off Bezos 300 people the other day, including like foreign correspondents and US based journalists and other. But he also did it with 240 people a while back, maybe a year or two ago, I believe. So they are. And now the CEO quit. He was, I think he was the former head of Tumblr or that might be the new guy that's taken his place. But you know, these guys are stepping down here.

[Adam Wise]

They got upset. It was at the super bowl, at a party.

[David Zier]

No, what they're upset about is Blue Origin. Right, because they're going to go back to the moon and they're going to have like moon based colonies and eventually we're going to be in Mars. And that Merritt island facility right next to Cape Canaveral is a giant contributor to the US space program. I just got back from Space Comm in Orlando, sat down with the US Space Command. The Blue Origin was down there. Blue Origin is front and center. So maybe Bezos doesn't want to risk those business relationships with the government to have some left wing thing. And you know, I could get into Peggy Noonan if you want to forget it.

[Adam Wise]

Yeah, Peggy Noonan used to be a pretty solid conservative, but she's. Yeah. You know, when you're inside that beltway for that long, they all start to think alike, act alike. They think their jobs are just all forever. Why should he fund his other, like you said, Amazon, hundreds of millions dollars he makes. Why should he keep funding something that he's losing a fortune? Right. But I want to take a look. I want to show you this cut, David, it was NBC. They broke away from the Olympics to cover this Guthrie story and why I'm covering it, I'll tell you afterwards. It's going to cut one.

[Hallie Jackson]

Good evening. I'm Hallie Jackson and we are coming on the air with a major development in the Nancy Guthrie case. NBC News is learning that a man has been detained by law enforcement for questioning in Nancy's disappearance. This is according to a person familiar with the matter. It comes just hours after the FBI released those images, that video of somebody in a mask, somebody who was armed, at Nancy Guthrie's front door on the night of her disappearance. Here's what we don't know, whether the person detained is the person you are looking at here in that video. I want to bring in our national law enforcement and intelligence correspondent Tom Winter. Tom, what do we know?

[Adam Wise]

Hallie it's the reporting of myself and my colleague Jonathan Deans, according to a person familiar with the matter, that this individual was taken into custody in the greater Tucson area and is being questioned by law enforcement at this time. The video that was released and that we just showed, my point, my point of showing you that is because there's a guy, Carlos, and by everybody knew who he was that night, the next morning, and he had nothing to do it at all. So it's like, doesn't the media have a responsibility not to do that to someone? It's a story this big you're breaking out of the Olympics and you put pinpointing someone who's just coming in for a few questions, there should be some responsibility. What do you think?

[David Zier]

Well, I will give some credit that this case is really bizarre and if there was a kidnapping, I mean, it's just awful. It's really terrible here. But listen, if it was your grandma or my grandma, Grandma, my memoir, they would just put a silver alert on the Long Island Expressway on a digital sign and say missy, grandma in an 83 Toyota Corolla. You know, they're pulling out all the stops here. It is a fascinating story, I gotta say. But look, it's one of the media's own here. So I can't, you know, I can understand why they would be hyperbolic about it.

[Adam Wise]

Right. I want to also show you this because it's Guthrie. She's today's show that, you know, it's part of the bubble of the mainstream media, the elite media. And they want to take care of one of their own. So they're going wall to wall. Like you said, if it was mama's ear or grandma's ear, you're lucky to get a stick. You're lucky get a sticker on the number seven or the lir Ron Conquerman stop. Right?

[David Zier]

Yeah.

[Adam Wise]

So I want to show you. Yeah, if you're lucky to get. Let's go to cut two. It's Fox. Was Fox the only one that covered this? But I home in a few days ago said we're pulling them all out. But the media just ignored this. And I got a reason why I want to. My reason why. Let's go to cut two here. Police arrested dozens of people over the weekend as one demonstration became dangerous. Correspondent Steve Harrigan has our update tonight from Minneapolis.

[Megyn Kelly]

Violent anti ice protests in front of the federal building in Minneapolis. Follow the script this weekend, seen here dozens of times.

[Adam Wise]

I am now issuing a public safety order to disperse.

[David Zier]

An order.

[Megyn Kelly]

Demonstrators are told to disperse but instead hurl bottles and pieces of ice at officers. And one vehicle was destroyed. One Hennepin county deputy was injured when he was hit in the head with an object. There has not been an update to the deputy's condition. But what came next after the chaos was different. You were under arrest.

[Adam Wise]

Be seated where you are, David. You know what I'm thinking there? Raising my all the other bubble. The media wasn't there, only Fox. I think it's because it was local police that took care of business there. And who the local police under Right. They can't demonize who. Give me your thoughts on that.

[David Zier]

Well, I was in the thick of it four weeks ago. We were assaulted. We were spit at. They tried to break the windows on our truck. They tried to block us in. It was really awful. And look what Ben Berkhom went through out there as well. Listen, Brian o', Hara, the police commissioner is a Trump hater, right. And he works along Jacob Fry and Tim Walz. And they didn't want. The police didn't want to do anything. And they were told to stand down, in my opinion because I was in Powderhorn park with 25,000 protesters who were ganging up on us and there were no police on the ground, only drones and a helicopter up above. So finally they're called out on this because I think Tom Holman is doing such an exceptional job with a new message on the ground. Listen, we need your cooperation with these jails. You got to hold them in the county lockup and we're going to come get them if you want this to stop. Now, this is a political game for them. They've always been doing this. But I feel like home is making progress. So it's not in the mainstream media's interest to cover it as things kind of simmer down out there.

[David Schusterman]

Right.

[Adam Wise]

Because if they cover it right now, the mainstream media, it's local police doing their job, then they can't demonize ice, they can't demonize the administration and they can't demonize Trump. And it won't hurt for the midterm. So their goal was their objectives over with. Let's move on, even if the protests are the same. David, thanks for joining us. Good luck with your visits coming up and I'll see you soon. Thank you, David.

[David Zier]

Thank you so much.

[Adam Wise]

Adam day, we're coming up. We're going to talk about bad super bowl, but we'll talk about Bad Bunny. This culture war over a singer, how did it become so big and how to become a part of our lexicon but it become part of the culture war in America? That and more. Coming up on Media Exposed.

[Adam Wise]

Welcome back to Media Exposed. I want to take a look at this cultural moment. Seem like what seemed like just an ordinary super bowl, quite a boring Super Bowl. Let's face it, folks. I mean it was could put anybody to sleep. Thank God I was at a good party. Bad Bunny's halftime performance featured explicit, you know, anti American. Some say imagery is Puerto Rican with other countries involved in it. The messaging was America's biggest sporting event. While TPUSA and other networks such as Rap, we joined in this other halftime show. It did really well. Seemed like this wasn't seemed like Bad Bunnies was an artistic performance. It was sort of a, you know, here I am moment coming out. Mainstream media immediately framed any criticism as is a racism xenophobe. Instead of addressing the legitimate concern about other people of America wanting to be sports, want to be welcome, want to be American. PBS actually praised the performance and smeared the all American halftime show as anti immigrant for some reason. The narrative inversion here is breathtaking. It shows how far PBS has fallen from public service into pure activism. Trump called out the performance WR way before I think it was even done. While watching the performance of the halftime show Trump did at his Trump International Golf Course. They have some kind of buffet there. You got to see the food they have there. As Trump would say, you know, so villain. Instead of questioning why the NFL thought this was appropriate program for middle America, imagine any other country allowing its biggest sporting event to speak a different language. They'd slap him. They might throw him in jail. I want to work on Javier Gray. He's the president of RAV Hispanic. For our in joining us, Javier, thanks for joining us from the White House over there.

[Javier Negro]

Hey, how are you? Thanks for having me.

[Adam Wise]

Adam, how are you? I wanted and we saw each other, that incredible Latin Hispanic prosperity gal. That was something else. I brought all Hispanic leaders together the other day was quite the event we had. But I wanted to talk to you because this became a big cultural moment. And I was sitting in Miami at this and this is a party at Smith and Lewinsky at the top. And I was watching and the thing that just bothered me a little bit was that the whole thing was important in Spanish. Right. But I thought it was a good performance. Yeah, I thought it was entertaining. I thought kind of inclusive. They showed a restauranteer at like the last Puerto Rican restaurant woman they showed her at the end, which is great promotion. Right. They showed these two boxes that were part of De La Hoya promotion. They showed them. That's great promotion for boxing. So I don't know if we should have this big cultural war over Bad Bunny. I don't think there was this craziness. I mean, if it was two, look, if it was three, four years ago, they'd have transgenders dancing, drag queens dancing, people making out. So I don't know if let me get from your standpoint, because I live in Miami part time and everybody speaks Spanish. Right. So give me your thoughts on that. Yeah.

[Javier Negro]

First of all, Bad Bunny doesn't represent the Hispanic community. Bas Bunny is communist. By Bunny, it's globalist. Bad Bunny was put in the halftime of the American final football by I don't know who, but someone played a lot of money. Community.

[Adam Wise]

Jay Z. They overseas their performance. Jay Z. They brought in Jay Z during the BLM meltdown. So we're going to be woke and we're.

[David Zier]

He's.

[Adam Wise]

He's in charge of performers.

[Javier Negro]

The thing is like Bad Bunny tried to show the world that the Hispanic community are like him. And that's not real. He made songs disrespectful for women. We represent in the Hispanic Gala with Tony Delgado and Gabriela Barofi, the new generation of Hispanic power people who worked from Monday to Sunday who wants to make to live together with American friends that they don't want to. They didn't want to have like grants, help from the government. They just to work. And the people that we were at Mar a Lago in the historical Hispanic Gala, we support President Trump, we support ICE operation because it's really important right now the role of real America's voice on Espanol every Sunday at 8pm Miami hour because the Hispanic outlets are telling lies to the Hispanic community using the ICE operation and telling the people that Trump hates Hispanic community. And it's not real. Trump is deporting bad people, most of them criminals, illegal alliance. Because I came from Europe, I got my visa, I work here in the United States without problems. And President Trump lent us Mar a Lago to make the Hispanic Prosperity Gala. So he doesn't hate the Hispanic people. It's very important the role of Rabo Espanol for midterms and for state election and for governor elections. Because right now we lost Miami, we lost New York because of the Hispanic outlets. Because like two years ago they were supporting Trump and now the Hispanic outlets are using this operation to generate fake news to promote misinformation. And that's not good.

[Adam Wise]

Well, it's Important that we have people like you, Javier, because the mainstream media likes to have this war and say all Hispanics be treated that way. But as we saw the other day, it was beautiful to have a thousand people with good Judeo Christian values in that room enjoying themselves, enjoying America and celebrating Melbourne. But I want to go to cut three here it was the Breakfast Club, which is this big show out of New York criticizing conservatives. Watch this about the halftime show. It's gonna cut three a little bit.

[Hallie Jackson]

This is supposed to be a unifying event for the country. Not for the Latinos, not for one small group, but for the country. We don't need a black national anthem. We don't need a Spanish speaking, non English performing performer, and we don't need an ICE or America hater featured as our primetime entertainment. And the halftime show and everything around it needs to stay quintessentially American. Not Spanish, not Muslim, not anything other than good old fashioned apple pie. There should be a meatloaf, maybe some fried chicken, and an English speaking performer. That's what the super bowl should be.

[Megyn Kelly]

Jesus, the black. The black side, which is the fried chicken. Red, you're Puerto Rican. I'm sorry that you got to go through this. Envy, you're Dominican. I'm sorry that you have to go.

[Adam Wise]

I'm black, sir.

[Megyn Kelly]

Jess, your in laws are Mexican. I'm sorry that y' all have to go through this, okay? Megyn Kelly said that we should keep it quintessential American when it comes to the super bowl halftime performance. Jesse Water said he doesn't like when the super bowl is an international event. America, I don't know if y' all know or not, but before this year, there have been 13 non American performers. Okay? So I'm trying to figure out is the issue that he wasn't performing in English because Puerto Rico is part of U.S. territory. Residents of Puerto Rico are U.S. citizens. So is it the language? Because you can't, you know, tell me that you want to keep it an international event. It should be quintessential American when 13 non American performers have already performed.

[Adam Wise]

Okay, but Javier, what he's not telling us in the Breakfast Hub, yeah, we had all these people now from America, but when they got up there for the super bowl, they spoke English, they sang in English. You know, it's like almost a middle finger to America and the audience. Let me do a performance which was entertaining at parts, but who the hell. Who the hell understood it? And before I go to you, let's. Before I go to you, hold that Thoughts. But I want to show you this cut four because it's really. It plays up to nobody. Watch this.

[Blair White]

Send help.

[Adam Wise]

Javi. If you go back to the great performance of the past Super Bowls, it was even Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Ricky Martin, they'd be dancing, singing. Do you see a. Did you see a person in that audience singing along or dancing?

[Javier Negro]

Of course not. But Univision, Telemundo said to everybody that American crowd was dancing by the reggaeton songs of Bad Bunny, which is not true. And we said in real America's voice en true. We show the videos, we make it viral and it's like President Trump, this guy, this Puerto Rican guy, nobody understood his songs. And there are songs disrespectful to women. I don't want my American K if I have it one day. Like following the steps of Bad Bunny. We defend the Christian and Catholic values, we defend the families, we defend the women. And these songs are not good for America and they make harmful to the American civilization. So we have to help the Hispanic community to have a new voice. And this new voice is real America's voice en Espanol and the Hispanic Rosario Gala with Tony, Gala Delgado and Gabriela Berowski. It was very important because it's going to be a new generation of sp Hispanic people involved in politics. And we are going to launch a H pack, a Hispanic PAC to fundraise money, to fundraise money to support Trump with money to support the campaigns, to support Byron Donald in Florida and all the candidates that support Trump.

[Adam Wise]

I don't know what they're trying to do, Javier. Try to get all these Spanish speaking Latin American countries because you're probably not gonna get them for football. They love soccer too much, let's face it. So I don't know what's the point of Roger Goodell and Jay Z doing this? But let's go to quickly. I don't know, just cut because let's. What you PBS is blaming here.

[Hallie Jackson]

You also reported Turning Point usa, the conservative political group that was founded by Charlie Kirk, held a counter programming halftime show. They billed it as the All American Halftime Show. They saw upwards of some 6 million viewers. What do you make of that sort of broader backlash both to his selection to perform in the first place and the performance? I mean, from the moment Bad Bunny was announced, there was a media backlash. And the reality is that that has everything to do not just with the current political moment, but with the entire history of the US constrained in a mainstream narrative, construing Latinos as perpetual foreigners. Who do not belong, who are a threat to the US and so this language of criticizing his performance and calling him un American is just the perpetuation of these stereotypes, despite the fact that he is an American citizen. And I think that the fact that the halftime show that Turning Point USA created was called the All American halftime show just goes to show you that this isn't about citizenship. This is actually about racism against Latinos. And that that's just blatant to see because it insinuates that Bad bunnies.

[Adam Wise]

Javier, there's so much to unpack there. First of all, they only got 6 million on YouTube alone. RAV and other networks call, they probably got over 25 million. So she lied there. And the other person called racist. Give me a break. You know it's not racist. Give me your final thought. Give me your final thoughts in 20 seconds here on the that clip.

[Javier Negro]

Yeah, I turned off the TV and I changed to Turning Point and Real America's Boy Kid Rock show. It was amazing because the American people, they don't understand why in a halftime you put a guy like Bad Bunny never understood that. It's like in the Real Madrid stadium in the middle you put like, I don't know, country shows. It's a bad respect to the American civilization, to the American football, soccer. And if you have to put Hispanics, you have better choices like holy, you know, gotta jump.

[Adam Wise]

Javier, thanks for joining us. I'll see you soon. Thank you. Up next, where would the Epstein story be if it wasn't for independent media? That and more. Coming up on Media Exposed.

[Adam Wise]

Welcome back to Media Exposed. This week it's more Epstein files that have dropped. Once again, it's independent journalists and social media doing their heavy lifting while legacy media either ignores it or carefully curates which names they want to emphasize. Obviously we know that was happening for a decade or more based on political convenience. The New York Times admits this Justice Department failed Epstein's victims over the years. But there was where was this outrage when it could have actually protected decade or two ago these women. The establishment protects its own until it's politically safe to pretend they care. All of a sudden now it's the biggest news. I wonder why. Who's in charge now? CNN and political cherry picking names to focus on while conveniently downplaying others. This selection disclosure proves legacy media is more interested in weaponizing information than revealing the truth. Without independent media, citizen journalists and social media pressure, these files would still be buried, buried somewhere in the FBI closets. I believe the establishment only moves when it's forced to and that force now comes from the outside. The big pressure of independent journalists. And I want to also talk about a show clip about Bill Maher. He's frustrated with the left. I want to welcome our guest then again, Blair White of the Blair White Project. Our own show, political commentator Blair, thanks for joining us. Again. Like I said, Blair, in my intro it was independent journalist and social media like yourself. I think it was last week you mentioned something about the Epstein files and it was quickly like you were like oh wow. In that quick moment independent journalists are learning so much the pressure from people. That's why. But I think that and as well as they want to blame it on Trump obviously and this administration when if the same action was happening under Obama, it'd probably be not a, you know, Bailey in the news. You think it's because it's the Trump administration right now, now that's that's putting the price because the media is so into the Epstein files or just openly they're really interested in the victims or is it politics with the mainstream media?

[Blair White]

I think it's all of the above. I think that anyone trying to turn the Epstein story and certainly the Epstein files into something that's partisan is a fool in my mind. It's clearly people from both sides of the political aisle and also people from all over the world. You know people in the UK, the royal family, people from Saudi Arabia, Mossad, MI6. So this is clearly a global thing. And so it's really not about Republican versus Democrat. And so as it pertains to the left, who are only interested in getting Trump over it and still haven't gotten the sort of, you know, the final blow that they want, because it's only unverified tips in the Epstein files currently that we have about Trump that's obviously incredibly ignorant and just like them to do that, because Epstein was literally a funder of the Democrat Party and donated to the Democrat Party. So the idea that it's partisan is false. But that's not to say that the Trump administration, and I say this as a Trump voter three times, it's not to say that they've handled it well at all. I think this is, as of now, a huge blight on the administration. I think Pam Bondi, Cash Patel, Dan Bongino, and Trump's own words have sowed a lot of distrust in the administration about the files. We went from hearing that they existed to didn't exist to it being a hoax. And now three and a half million files are out, but apparently there's still millions more, which is kind of insane. You know, you wonder how many documents could really exist. So, you know, I've been on this story for almost a decade since Jeffrey Epstein, you know, allegedly killed himself. I know that's up for debate, but, you know, I've been calling for the files for so long, I definitely wish Trump and the administration would have handled it differently. And I hope that they change, you know, course here in the future because it's, it's really a losing battle the way they're fighting it currently.

[Adam Wise]

I had, I had this client once, there's no Limit Air. It was a private aviation. They sold Privation jets and they sold, you know, charters on it. And they came in and said, we have this really great pilot, Jet Stream girl. Like something might have been the exact thing or something. And she came in, she was like 23 or something. I said, how'd you learn how to fly a jet so young? She said, I was about 16. And this guy taught me. This is like 13, 14 years ago. This guy taught me, Jeffrey Epstein, to go to the island. We went to his island, and I learned how to be a pilot. I thought nothing of it because it was so long ago. I'm like, wow, how does all make sense? How did someone live such a life that the guy has 4 million files? What was he? Did he have 15 twins or something. It's insane. But let's go to cut six. I want to show you how Kaitlan Collins was examining Howard Lutnick's testimony.

[Hallie Jackson]

So the White House is standing by President Trump's Commerce Secretary, who has become one of the highest ranking officials here at the White House, to face scrutiny over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Not because Howard Ludnick has been accused of any criminal wrongdoing in regards to Jeffrey Epstein, but because he claimed in multiple interviews that he had cut ties with Jeffrey Epstein years before. He actually had, according to emails that were released by this Justice Department. Caroline Levitt, the press secretary at the briefing on Tuesday, was asked about the President's confidence level in Howard Lutnick. She said that he remains a very important member of President Trump's team and went on to criticize the media for asking questions about the same subject repeatedly and not, for example, asking about The Dow hitting 50,000 last week. Week. Now, this comes as the President himself has said he believes the country is ready to move on from the Epstein questions. But it shows just how far reaching this really is. Howard Ludnick was testifying in a broadband hearing.

[Adam Wise]

You know, Blair, it's people misspeak and he's forgetting dates. But CNN is examining every little thing for obviously Trump, his cabinet secretary. But I'd like to, I'd like to just Google Clinton. Howard Lutnick, Clinton, Trump, Trump. I believe Clinton went to the. Well, you tell me you've been discovering that you've been on this for a decade. How many times did Clinton go to the island?

[Blair White]

Oh, it's countless. I mean, we can't even really be sure. And I don't think anyone, you know, Democrats might deny it, but I don't think anyone denies it. On the name of, on the list of names of people involved with and close with and operating with Epstein, Bill Clinton is gotta be number one, maybe number two behind Prince Andrew. And, and yeah, unfortunately, I don't think that the line about the country is ready to move on is really going to work. Suffice. I actually don't think people want to move on. I'm noticing people from every political, you know, position inside and old, young, every generation is actually really freaked out about this. And I, I almost wonder why there hasn't really been some sort of effort to hold a large press conference and actually walk people through exactly what is in these files. Because the information that has come out in this last dump of about three and a half million, some of it is so dark, horrific that I Feel like we need somebody to sort of be a little bit of a North Star in this for the public and say this is what this means, this is credible, this is not credible. And instead it's just a bunch of information left for everyone to decipher. And so as long as everybody is, you know, up and up for judgment in the court of public opinion, that's how it's going to go from here on out.

[Adam Wise]

You know, real quick on that I said, I was sitting with a couple of friends, British friends of mine down in Miami and they said, boy, we're swift. We got rid of the Prime Minister, got rid of his right hand man. They got rid of this other guy. Why? Because communications would have for you. I say, wow, we have hundreds of people communication I've seen. He said they don't mess around in Great Britain and uk they're done. They see any communication. So it's, it's not yet, you know, hurting people as much as should over here, but overseas, boom. Look at Prince Andrew. He's probably sleeping in a cottage at this point. Right. So I want to.

[Blair White]

Right, as he should.

[Adam Wise]

So I want to show you this clip here. I want to, I don't want to spend all the time on Epstein be. I saw this. Very interesting. I know you live in California, so I want to show you this cut. It's Bill Maher. He's upset that Jimmy Kimmel doesn't talk to him anymore. I wonder why, obviously. But let's go to cut eight here.

[Megyn Kelly]

But these are the people who just can't talk to you unless you're exactly there. Whereas the Republicans, they always come to my show. John Kennedy from Louisiana was on last week, took his beating like a man, like they all do. And we came across lovingly and smilingly and happily. And we can disagree. I agree you and I aren't always completely on the same page, although we're very close because we're both smart guys. But like, I just don't get that from, from. And Jimmy, I'm sorry, like I think this is one of the nicest guys. I did a mea culpa when we exchanged emails. Not about what he was complaining about but just saying like, you know, sometimes I am a little brash about me when they compare me with the other late night guys and I'm like, I'm not like you guys, I'm not. You could all exchange your monologues, all of you, and no one would know the difference in tone.

[Adam Wise]

I mean, I find it interesting that he's saying this now, but I've known it for years. Since it's Trump, it's. I think it all started during Trump. For some reason, he's the cool kid. Actually, you know, he was the cool kid, right? And he's. Oh, we had the cool kid in high school, right? Trump's like the cool kid. He got the girls. He's a really successful billionaire. He came in with swagger, and he triggered the media so much that they wanted to cancel culture. They went after corporations, they went after him. And the left couldn't handle Hollywood for some reason. So for some reason, what used to be easy, civil debate. Whether you're a left winger or right winger, the end of the day, we're still friends. And Bill Maher wants to still be. Seems like he still wants to be Jimmy's friend, but Jimmy. Jimmy's so left, he can't. Give me your thoughts on that clip. Yeah.

[Blair White]

Bill Maher is discovering what, you know, pretty much all of us here on the right have known since the beginning of Trumpism in 2015, 2016, where, you know, our leftist friends are not actually friends. They will abandon you at the drop of a hat over the slightest disagreement. It doesn't have to be something large. It can be something petty. You know, he's getting. He's feeling what all of us have been feeling for the last decade from the left, and I think he's finally understanding there's some real battle lines drawn here, and he is maybe on the side that his peers, you know, do not want him to be on. So all of us have experienced that. I lost all my friends when I started speaking up about politics in 2016. So it's just par for the course. It's just finally affecting people at the top, I guess.

[Adam Wise]

I had a friend, probably friend, for 20 years. He's a backup guitarist for Aerosmith. We used to hang out in his loft, my parties, beginning at Trump's first term. He knew I was a Trump supporter. Facebook. He said, you effing this. You this. You discussed. I was like, whoa, dude, you're like a. I thought you were an alpha male. Why are you getting triggered so much? Never talked again. Something happened to people during Trump. You know, we didn't have the medication to save him then. Maybe we do now. So hopefully I thought they'd get a little better. But things. Things seem to be heating up bad with the media lately. So, Blair, I want to thank you for joining us, as always. I'll see you soon.

[Blair White]

Thanks for having me.

[Adam Wise]

Coming up next, we're going to talk talking about the US Olympics. Why are they why are Olympians bashing Americans and Trump on European soil to be that movie? More Coming up on Media Exposed.

[Adam Wise]

We're going to take a look at the media how they're covering the Olympics. Why are the media egging athletes to bad mouth? The USA actually should be ashamed themselves. The media should be ashamed themselves. These strong adults are sometimes just teenagers. NBC trumpets American athletes choosing to represent China instead of America celebrating what should be seen as betrayal. Completely ignoring China's human rights abuses against the Uyghurs and the imprisonment of Jimmy Lay. That's another story. We want to look at the same media that lectures American about patriotism being dangerous. Nationalism actively celebrates American trajectory. Their own country oversees the Olympics to compete with an authoritarian authoritarian regime like China. They're rather cheerlead that the double standard is staggering. AP reports on Trump's backlash against the athletes speaking out framing as Trump's the bully, he's authoritarianism. But here's the reality. Americans are tired of being represented by people openly hate them and their country. Embassy's Olympic coverage consistently promotes USA is bad narrative. So while sanitizing brutal communist regimes, this is a journalist propaganda that undermines American confidence and UN unity. The media's game is clear. Encourage America's self loathing celebrate those who reject America. Have them bad mouth trump the administration then accuse Anyone who pushes back of being intolerant. It's psychological warfare disguised as the progressive coverage. I want to welcome my next guest, David zier. I'm David. Dr. David Schusterman, political commentator, Dr. In New York City and by urologist too out there, if anybody needs a great urologist. But Dave, we took a look at this coverage together and it was just terrible the way they're pushing these people on. Why don't we take a look at the first clip for. Let's go to cut nine here. This is Guy Hess, one of the Olympic skiers, I believe. Cut nine. It brings up mixed emotions to represent the US Right now. I think it's a little hard. There's obviously a lot going on that I'm not the biggest fan of, and I think a lot of people aren't. If it aligns with my moral values, I feel like I'm representing it. Just because I'm wearing the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the U.S. so, yeah, I just kind of want to do it for my friends and my family and the people that support me getting here. Yeah. David, you're born. You were born in. Not in America. And the pride that Americans used to have when they won the ladies Olympics and all the Olympics, it was such a prideful thing to be an American. What do you think of that little clip we just watched?

[David Schusterman]

I just think it's so shocking nowadays that the Olympic athletes aren't as proud to be Americans. I mean, I think there's no red America or blue America. I think we're all Americans and we could have political differences, but in the end of the day, we're all Americans. We all live and die together. And we cannot have this two fractured countries where, well, I'm like performing for my family and friends, but not for other people's family and friends, which doesn't make any sense to me. I mean, my advice to any athlete out there is, is make yourself famous by actually performing well on the field. Once you get that Olympic gold, you could tour around the country, you could give your political advice, whatever you want to do. But when you're out there competing, compete for America. Don't compete for half of America or the other half of America. Compete for all of America because America is great. And no matter what people say, if you've been to other countries, you realize how great America is, is. And that, you know, you could see why there's a big wait list to get in.

[Adam Wise]

Hypothetically speaking, this was Sleepy Joe Biden that was president and the Olympics were happening and they were throwing people out of the Air Force, the Navy For Covid arresting J6ers and the Olympics were going. Do you think the press would ask any of them, how do you feel about America right now under this presidency? Would they ask if it was a Democratic president, you think?

[David Schusterman]

Well, we already know because we had an Olympic Games when Biden was president four years ago and they didn't ask any of these questions. I never remember hearing, well, are you for blue America or red America? And I think that's the question they're actually asking. My advice to athletes are don't fall into this trap. The best way to handle it is not to fall into the trap of answering them. You just say no comment. And guess what? A lot of these questions dry up once there's no comment comments. They can't blame an athlete one way or another because, you know, like with anyone, like Michael Jordan famously said, Republicans buy sneakers too and Democrats buy sneakers. So the point is, is that when you're competing and you want a broad audience, you don't want to, you know, fight for one America or the other.

[Adam Wise]

This other clip I want to show you, it's cut 10. I want to give you a second. Let's play this cut and then I'll explain who this guy guy is. And what's happening in Minnesota is wrong.

[Megyn Kelly]

There's no shades of gray. It's clear. And.

[Adam Wise]

I really love what's been happening.

[Megyn Kelly]

There now with people coming out showing.

[Adam Wise]

The love, the compassion, integrity and respect.

[Megyn Kelly]

For others that they don't know and helping them out.

[Adam Wise]

And we love Minnesota for that.

[Megyn Kelly]

And I want to, I want to.

[Adam Wise]

Make it clear that we are out here, we love our country.

[Megyn Kelly]

We're playing for the U.S. we're playing for Team USA and we're playing for.

[Adam Wise]

Each other and we're playing for our family and our friends that sacrifice so much to get here to today.

[David Schusterman]

And that doesn't change anything because what.

[Adam Wise]

The Olympics, what the Olympics means is excellence, respect, friendship. Dave, that was a 54 year old guy by the. He's a lawyer, a trial lawyer because they're always kind of noxious and seem to be more Democrat, these lawyers. But he's just champion, Carla. And he was trying to get into the games again. So he was an alternative 54 year old rich Rua Wano in. He's competing for, he's an alternate for the U.S. i didn't even know Kroll was a sport, actually. But it is when they sweep around, right? So he was out there complaining about America. You think at that age he grew up in a time at 54, he'd appreciate America?

[David Schusterman]

Yeah, I mean I, I, you think that young people coming out of school when they've been indoctrinated have more of a viewpoint about how bad America is. But when you start living in America and you see the differences between America and other countries, you would learn to appreciate it. I mean, I don't, I, I do because I was born in Belarus and in Belarus there's very little freedom, there's very little opportunity and even Belarusians are very proud of their country. I, I would, I don't think we'd ever hear a Belarusian athlete ever say that. They only, they're, they're only competing for their political, know, kind of ideology.

[Adam Wise]

It's a sad place we are in America. It's a 54 year old guy who still competed in the Olympics is complaining about America. What a joke. He should be ashamed of himself. They should put them on a first class, first class, put them in the back of the plane back to America. If you want to complain about America while, you know, while being part of the America Olympic team, you shouldn't be part of the American Olympic team, basically. Right?

[David Schusterman]

Well, I feel like they should, they should have like a briefing set up where they sign a non, you know, some kind of agreement that they're not going to disparage America, that they're going to go there, play their games and then after they win or whatever they want to do when the Olympics are done, then they can go out and kind of badmouth whoever they want.

[Adam Wise]

But Russia, China, you know, at Ukraine, Japan, line them up right. Middle east country. Do you think any of these athletes are bad mouthing their own country when they do press conferences? They're bad mouthing America on other soil, in Europe and then they're complaining about America. So you're allowed to badmouth America at the Olympics. That shows what a, you know, open society America is. Right?

[David Schusterman]

Well that's the interesting thing. They call Trump Hitler dictator, you know, a fascist. And he's not really doing anything to stop this. All he wants to do is he just says it's just disgusting that people are doing it when they're supposed to be representing the U.S. and they should be proud of representing the U.S. i mean if I was Olympic athlete I would be very proud of it and not to represent half of the country again. You know, I get back to the whole thing that America is one country, there are different sides that people like want to follow and that. And that's their right. And that's the beauty of America here.

[Adam Wise]

Because they're asking these questions. Most of them are young athletes. It shouldn't be asked about political questions. Questions. When they're playing sports, the sports media sometimes is worse than the political media, worse than the regular general news media. Their woke is can beat too, but they still should stick to sports. Stop asking political questions. They're too young, and they're not even in politics. Why are they being asked these questions? There's another thing.

[David Schusterman]

Well, my thought on that is that whoever does the next Olympic Games and whoever is responsible for these athletes, next time, they should have them sign agreements that they will not badmouth America that they're.

[Adam Wise]

They're gonna.

[Megyn Kelly]

If.

[David Schusterman]

If there are any questions. And I mean, they don't have to say anything. I mean, why do they have to give their viewpoint when they're representing America? And I think it. It's for both administrations, whether you're Republican or Democrat, it shouldn't really matter. The whole point is, is you're representing America, and if you want to make it a political stage, then don't do it.

[Adam Wise]

At the Olympics, there was this, after the Super Bowl, Bad Bunny. You want to take a look at that, right? But I was in my Miami at a big party on the roof of Smith and Lewinsky. I said, you know, it was entertaining, was out there, but when I live in Miami, everybody basically speaks Spanish. So I didn't think it was that big of a deal. But I. One thing that bothered me a little bit, the whole thing was in not one word of English. But was this culture moment where the conservatives went and they had their alternative conference concert. Was it a little too much? Because you were in New York City, and both places we're sitting, we're watching the game. Those are the moderate voters we gotta win over. So how did the people where you were at Zero Bond, the private club, how did they react to this?

[David Schusterman]

Well, interestingly, I don't think a lot of people knew who Bad Bunny was there. And they were anticipating that the show was going to be in English. So, you know, there was a lot of anticipation. Everyone's ready to go. There's a huge screen TV set up in the middle. And then the interesting thing was when he started singing Spanish, everyone. It was just deflating. People were expecting to dance. They wanted to. You know, they were getting up to try to dance, and no one was dancing. It was kind of like depressing music a little bit. And no one really then people just started talking to each other without actually looking at the game or the show, which I thought was very surprising.

[Adam Wise]
