Media Exposed with Adam Wise. Starts now.
Adam Weiss
Welcome back to Media Exposed. Washington Post announced major layoffs. The legacy media seemed to continue to crumble after years of financial management. They're losing tons of money, declining readership and disconnected newsroom leadership. The Post is shrinking its staff. They got rid of basically the whole sports section, a lot of the metro section. They're tempted to survive in this declining era of print journalism. Basically, Americans are walking away from traditional media and the business model is collapsing. 300 layoffs this past week. So I want to bring in my first guest here, Jade Warwick from the Warwick Report. Jade, you're in Washington, correct? Jade, thanks. Thanks for joining us again. You're in Washington, correct?
Jade Warwick
Yes, sir.
Adam Weiss
D.C. this is like the Bible. This is the premier institution, the Washington Post. Jeff Bezos put it many years ago, he allowed them to run amok. I mean, basically, they were like petulant children during the first Trump administration. It was like savage to get Trump. They've been a little bit decent, better this time. But out of Nowhere this week, 300 layoffs and the whole media establishment is. Is full force against Jeff Bezos, against executives for. But no other business when you lose a fortune. Only the media business. They're crybabies. And they say you're not allowed to do that. Give me your thoughts on that. Those big cuts. And isn't it about time? Because people get their news even from big podcast, big commentators like yourself, big, you know, big following people probably all day long, message you about news you might put out there. So crybabies, the rest of the business, people have to find new jobs, right?
Jade Warwick
No, that's absolutely correct. I love watching a good demolition. And that's what we're seeing. The legacy media is it's over. It was a dinosaur for a while. And now people are turning to podcasts and independent journalists who state their biases. We know where they stand and we can trust them over these big media outlets.
Adam Weiss
Right? So so many independent voices like yourself and tell. I just want you so people understand. When did you get your footing and when did you become an independent voice? And what, like everybody has a story, a little history. And when did you get the punch and say, you know what? I have to become a voice because there's such sanity out there? Was there one certain moment in time and say, you know what? Enough's enough?
Jade Warwick
Somewhat.
Blair White
Yeah.
Jade Warwick
I started a year ago and I became very vocal online after attempting to during COVID But my YouTube channel was completely nuked by the CEO there where I was exposing certain lockdown policies in Los Angeles. I was in hiding for a few years. I thought that it was a battle I couldn't fight. But last year I realized that Europe was crumbling, the west is falling apart and I want to be a voice of reason, common sense for the people and not lie to them, just deliver facts.
Adam Weiss
You're from originally from the uk. You're from Liverpool. No.
Jade Warwick
You're from Wales.
Adam Weiss
Well, so the people are there many independent voices over in the uk like yourself more and more popular because I. Who did I see yesterday was a big support? Actually it was a boxer, it was Derek Chisora and he said, I saw an interview, he's going to fight. Derek Chisora is going to fight Deontay Wilder, former heavyweight champ and in the middle of the interview says he's a big supporter of the Reform Party. So I know the Reform Party is kind of the party just basically help save Europe. Correct.
Jade Warwick
Reform is the UK's last hope. I really hope they win. I hope everyone votes for them moving forward. We may not like all their policies but at the end of the day you've got to pick the lesser of two evils and that's what we're looking at right now.
Adam Weiss
So the Reform Party is a little bit more, you know, populist, a little bit more conservative than what we used to consider the Conservative Party of, of the uk. Correct?
Jade Warwick
Yes. They're considered ultra right leaning if not far right extremists. I think that they just care about the people of the country, Britain, our values. Wales is not the same now as when I was growing up. I've gone back there several times in the last 10 years and it's a shock each time I go back. I can't believe how many mosques are replacing other businesses and churches. It's wild. So yeah, I think that reform is being labeled as extremism but it truly is not. It's just getting Britain back on the right tracks.
Adam Weiss
So as we talk about the legacy media, one of the biggest legacy me is CNN obviously and Caitlin Collins been around and Trump said some funny things. He's in the moment. There's nobody can pull a moment together like Trump. And let's go to this cut one here. He's called the CNN reporter funny names actually Watch this. Let's go to cut one other people. But I think it's time now for the country to maybe get ont. But what would you say to people.
Jade Warwick
Who feel like they have gotten justice, Mr. President?
Andrew Edwards
Something that people care about.
Adam Weiss
Yeah. What do you say?
Joy Behar
What would you say to the survivors.
Jade Warwick
Who feel like they haven't got.
Adam Weiss
You have a worst reporter. No one to see. CNN has no ratings because of people like you. You know, she's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. I've known you for 10 years. I don't think I've ever seen a smile.
Jade Warwick
Well, I'm asking you about survivors.
Adam Weiss
You know, why you're not smiling? Because you know, you're not telling the truth and you're. You're a very dishonest organization and they.
Andrew Edwards
Should be ashamed of you.
Jade Warwick
These are survivors of a sexual abuser.
Adam Weiss
But she's so obnoxious. He's holding a press conference about something else, totally different, and she jumps in about survivors. And, you know, I was. Jade, I was at the Republican convention and I saw Caitlin from a distance, and I was going to go up to meet her, and she wasn't smiling at all, just like you said. So, you know, give me your thoughts on that clip over there. Like disrespect, kind of.
Jade Warwick
Yeah. I mean, she's a liberal woman, and my hot take is that liberal women don't smile because no man will F them. But truly, I don't think that she's a fantastic reporter. She's biased and I believe low iq. She was asking questions about the Epstein redactions, which I know wasn't supposed to be on topic for that briefing. But, you know, it is a hot topic right now and the general public do want to know about it. I feel that, you know, as much as Trump is correct and his insults are funny, we really do need to address the elephant in the room instead of avoiding it. It felt more of a deflection than just him going after her career, which he's fine to do. But I also, as someone who's going through the Epstein files, I'm feeling drained from them and disgusted by what I'm seeing. So I understand why she asked that. Time and place not right.
Adam Weiss
I mean, to use some AI tool. There's so many files there. It's like, how does one person. How did one person have so many files? And he's only like, it's incredible. That's. That this man had so many people entangled in a web and so many people. I'm going to jump on that. I'm going to show you his cut to the view. Are defending Clintons over this. And let me show you this clip. Yeah.
Joy Behar
As I understand it, he's been given, you know, who's been given such a wide breadth. Does this mean that President Clinton technically doesn't have to testify? If he didn't have to testify, he has to, right? Well, they've agreed to, certainly. And I think, you know, the Clintons are playing chess while everybody else is playing checkers. Yeah. And there's just because they've already actually submitted sworn affidavits to this House committee. I've read them. They are in, in depth and astute. But I will say this. I think you're right, Joy. I think the fact that a former president is testifying in front of the House committee pursuant to a subpoena sets a high precedent, sets a bar for any president to be called before, you.
Adam Weiss
Know, Trump was in the society scene, so was Epstein. And of course they were at parties together. It happens in New York every night. But he never went to the island. He threw him out of the club. And Clinton was, Clinton was at the island, correct me with some 19 times or so. And they had these women defending him. Give me your thoughts on that clip.
Jade Warwick
Well, I'm surprised that the View still has viewers. Everyone named in the files should be questioned and held accountable. It's as simple as that. The bias that Whoopi fails to disclose is that she has had a long running relationship with Hillary Clinton. Hillary's been on the show multiple times. Whoopi always treats her very warmly and they align politically. So they're all part of the same club and you and me are not in it.
Adam Weiss
I want to, Jade, I want to show you this photo, one on the screen because it hit me really hard. And you're a content creator. Apple News is from moose buses. Top stories from left leaning outlets. This is from Apple News. That shows 620 from right outlet zero. Unbelievable. Even though we have podcasts and right leaning people, it's so biased online from Apple News. Right. Give me final thoughts quickly on that. Yeah, of course.
Jade Warwick
What, what do you expect from mainstream media outlets as large as Apple, especially with the editor in chief being Lauren Kern, who went to Rice University, which leans left. So that's what we're going to get from companies that are run by people like her.
Adam Weiss
Jade, thank you so much for joining us. I'll see you soon. Thanks again. Coming up next, we're going to take a look at Gavin Newsom. He's got a book coming up and man, are the media doing major makeover touch ups making them look like like a handsome GQ model. Let me just say that that and more Coming up on Media Exposed.

Adam Weiss
Welcome back to Media Expo. Gavin Newsom just recently announced his new memoir as what a Media Rebrand. This campaign is going into overdrive. Young man in a hurry, it's called A Memoir of Discovery, is set for release on February 24th. His goal? He wants to reintroduce himself to the American people. Reintroduce himself to California presidents. Reintroduce himself, I guess probably in a Republican, I mean in the Democratic primary coming up. His book focused on his personal story, not his policy failures. Won't touch that. Rather than addressing California crisis, the fires, you know, homelessness, migration out of the state, taxes, he dwells on his parents, divorce, his mother's struggles and growing up between two worlds in San Francisco. Framing his license story, resilience and self discovery. The media played right along with full scale image makeover, glossy profiles in the New York evoke, New York Times, on and on. These are some of the biggest publications giving them a big profile like people would die for. I want to welcome my next guest, Allison Wynn. She's from San Francisco, from California Life. Allison's a former Obama fundraiser. She's the managing partner at ALO Ventures and a Silicon Valley entrepreneur, political commentator too. Allison, thanks for joining us again.
Allison Wynn
Thanks for having me on my good Friend Adam Weiss.
Adam Weiss
This clear attempt to soften his image on a big estate, it seems like with anecdotes about his family, his wife, his in laws. But I want to show you this first one here. I want to go to his photo. Photo 1 Alison, look at the, I mean, I'm sorry, photo 2 and it's from Vogue. Look at this. And, and that's a glaring thing. And what they say in Vogue. Let's get out of, get this out of the way. He is embarrassingly hand his hair season with silver, at ease with his own eminence as he delivers his final State of the State address in Washington. The president believes that might makes right pronounces California Newsome secret police business rating windows man, citizens detained, citizen shot. His tone is temperament, but the words echo through state assembly chamber. The august backdrop of his speech lining the pockets of the rich crony capitalist. He goes on rolling back rights rewriting. Newsome shakes his head, seeming more moaning mournful than angry. Seeming, yes, seeming, yes, Presidential. And he says none of this is normal. That's Vogue. It was a big profile. Look at that photo. It's so like him in such a manner of thinking that, you know, it's a big makeover here. I think this might be the launch of what we see in 2028. Give me your thoughts on Gavin, his book launch. And well, you have a lot of experience with Gavin, right? The reality of what the media is portraying and what, what you know about Gavin gives a little backdrop on Gavin. You might have seen him once or twice. You might have seen him once or twice.
Allison Wynn
I have, I've been on a jet with him. I've been on vacation to weddings and I was actually in his old house, a bachelor pad with a swimming pool in the living room, many years ago. This is a beautiful makeover. The problem is that when we look closely at this, it's a facelift and unfortunately there are a lot of scarring. So before the facelift, as we know, there are the facts. $50 billion for the homeless and yet only a few homes are built. Those are facts. Billions of dollars for a rail system to connect Northern and Southern California. Billions and billions of dollars. Nothing has been built so far. Fires going out of control in Northern California and burning down about 60 square miles in Southern California and no accountability in terms of the water system. Where is all the water to put out the fires? What about the pumps, the aquifers, the, the reservoirs? There are day to day management of the state. We have big tech. It's the World's fourth largest economy. There are bad policies, as we know. You can steal up to $1,000, not per day, but per trip. And this is why many grocery stores, many drugstores in San Francisco and LA have closed, because they cannot do business in these socialist policies. So we need to sit down and really talk about the issues that we're having in the big cities in California. And I live in one of them, San Francisco and la, where my daughter lives. And she was hit by crime. She was attacked by a homeless person. The immigrant. The migrant situation. The illegal immigrant. The sanctuary, the drug dealing, the homeless problem, the fire. So many issues are out of control. We're not even talking about them being in cahoots with Big Tech robbing citizens of its privacy for many years. So many different problems, Adam. And yet we have a very superficial facelift with the spread, the spread in vogue.
Adam Weiss
Alison, look at. I want to show you another photo. New York Times. Look at this. Beautiful. I mean, these are. Wouldn't. Would a Republican die to have these kind of photos? And the New York Times says with new memoir, Newsom wants Americans to know he struggled growing up. Mr. Newsom, the California gun potential president, writes that the privileged character of his background is mistaken. I thought he grew up in a nice neighborhood. That's in the New York Times. Another beautiful. Another beautiful profile. What is going on with the media? There's one reality that you see, one photo that you. One photo, one reality you see. And this is another, you know, rewriting of history that the media is doing right now at this moment. This book from. This book, PR is worth millions. They give it for free. But did he grow up struggling? Tell us what you know.
Allison Wynn
So what I know, in San Francisco, he grew up, yes. His father was a judge. Very middle class, upper middle class, yes. They were divorced. But since he was a very young man, young boy, he was best friends with Billy Getty. And they decided to be behind the scenes and anoint him because of his energy, his good looks, his charisma, as potentially the next President of the United States. So backed by Gettys and many of the elites in San Francisco. And at the end of the day, he's in a cabal. They have failed policies and they're trying to really do this political Botox, as we would call it, to then remake Gavin Newsom as relatable to young white men and young white women. Thus Vog, thus Billy Eilish at the Grammys, thus the podcast with Charlie Kirk. And he gives the image of the perfect husband, the Perfect dad. Tall, white, good looking. This is a dream that is accessible for young men, especially young white men who feel like they've been left out of the dream. Many who have been big fans of Charlie Kirk. So he took the Charlie Kirk strategy. Beautiful wife, young kids. This dream is now accessible to me with a very socialist bent to it. But he doesn't focus on that. He focuses on the image. Tall, good looking, tan, successful, as you're saying.
Adam Weiss
As you're saying tall, good looking. I want to show you this photo from the New Yorker. It's unbelievable how good looking they make them. Wait, that's circa 2000 GQ model, isn't that. Look at him. That's from the New York, another major prestigious publication out of the New York. They show them tall, handsome, staring from above. Somehow when they make Republicans, they make them look terrible. Somehow they do that. But let's go to this photo here. It's showed a photo five and it shows California is number one homeless, number one in poverty, number one in addiction, number one in income tax, highest number one in gas tax, budget deficit, retail theft, citizen exodus, Covid mandates. Covid school closures, business closures, illegal immigration, number one in funding illegal migration, number one illiteracy, number one in wage stagnation, number one in frivolous lawsuits, and number one in worker restrictions. But you like to tell the story. You couldn't even go to Chinatown. You couldn't go to a lot of neighborhoods right in San Francisco over the years. This is not the place that was when you grew up. Am I right, Angela? Allison, you've told me this story was not safe.
Allison Wynn
And now it's starting to get better. Under Mayor Daniel Lurie. But under Gavin Newsom, London breed, his bff, it was very unsafe. I raised three young children, three teenagers during his reign, his reign of terror, his socialist policies that really set and robbed California. And like you said, the facts speaks for themselves. But they're really doing a cosmetic makeover. And from far away with the angles and the tailored suits, it does really look good to perhaps people who don't look at the details. Maybe you know, young men who are hearing this or seeing the picture of him and his beautiful family and his wife and his kids. And so it really is a glossy makeover. But we need to remind Californians and Americans here are the facts. The facts don't lie. Here are the numbers. The numbers don't lie. It's a beautiful book. It's a beautiful magazine, glossy. But when you actually open up the book and the magazine, the story doesn't make sense. Nothing adds up. And those are basically the policies of California. Nothing really makes sense. The people who are paying the taxes are hard working families like myself. But then we are using our hard earned taxpayer money to basically subsidize this homeless cartel, the drug cartel, things that really hurt normal everyday families. And that's the picture that he wants to paint. He's a normal, regular family man and very relatable. But is he really?
Adam Weiss
But I know what's going to be actually what's going to be good this week for San Francisco, for the world, for the nation. And you're going to be involved in a little bit. I know you have fun out there. Enjoy some events out there. The super bowl going to come up in San Francisco so that hopefully will boost the economy over there. Allison, thanks for joining us and good luck with the Super Bowl. Hopefully the city will be booming after that. I'll see you soon. Thank you.
Jade Warwick
Thank you Adam.
Adam Weiss
Up next, we're going to take a look at Blair white. Very interesting YouTuber commentator, been in the movement for a while and she's got a really nice profile I noticed. Unique for a conservative. But the why that and more coming up on Media Exposed.

Welcome back to Media Exposed. Boy, the View was defending Don Lemon. He got himself in trouble by being an activist but they couldn't help themselves. I want to take A look at also big conservative out there, Blair White, who I notice got some beautiful profile. A nice, I'm saying it's beautiful. But it was for the, for a conservative, getting a great, good profile in the post is unique. I want to welcome Blair into our for the first time immediate post. Blair, thanks for joining us.
Blair White
Hey, Adam, thanks for having me, Blair.
Adam Weiss
When I saw that profile, I was like, wow, actually giving a conservative a fair shot, which is unique. But before we jump and I read a little bit further, I want to go to cut three because Donny Lamond was getting. They all seem to be protecting Don, the media, and they're lying about. He's protected as a journalist. But let's go to the View and Joy Behar.
Joy Behar
So, I mean, all I can say is it's in the Constitution, the right to protest. And he wasn't even there protesting. He was there as a journalist. Correct. And I think they want to use him as some kind of a, you know, an example to intimidate other journalists. But you know, I was reading something the other day about World War II when the Americans deliberately liberated Dachau after World War II during the Holocaust. After the Holocaust, Dwight D. Eisenhower said, take pictures of these concentration camps because years will go by and people will not believe this happened. So this administration does not really like somebody like Don Lemon who has a camera, who has a position like we do in a way to speak to the people and tell them what really is going on. So God bless Dwight D. Eisenhower and Don Lemon. And I would just like to add that I think they've made. Made him more popular than ever. Yes. He now will triple his. His viewership on his podcast. Good for you.
Adam Weiss
I don't know, where do we start with that? There's so much to unpack there. Give me your thoughts on that. Those bunch of falsehoods, I guess we could say it. Give me your thoughts on that. Don Lemon, his arrest and.
Joy Behar
Right.
Adam Weiss
That's happened for the media.
Blair White
Yeah, I mean the View is first and foremost a ridiculous program. Sometimes I catch glimpses of it like this and it's kind of a reminder of like how bad mainstream media is. But you know, what Don Lemon did was not a protest. What Don Lemon did was lead a pack of angry anti Christian, you know, protesters calling so called protesters. But an old woman broke her arm and I heard likely will never even be able to use it again. Was a victim of this when it went down. There was also children who were kept away from their parents. I heard there were adults screaming in Their faces. Do you know that your parents are Nazis? You know, and Joy Behar said that it was to let people know what's going on. What was there to let people know about this private church service? There was nothing going on there at all. So, you know, it's just a bunch of uselessness that he was trying to spread. And I am happy that he was arrested because you can't just commit a felony and not be arrested. And I think a lot of conservatives have some frustrations right now with people like Pam Bondi for not really following through with some of the arrests she really needs to make. So that's good. But I also knew it would come at the risk of them trying to turn him into some sort of martyr. I don't really know if that's as effective as they think it is. I think most people are kind of already forgetting about it with the release of the Epstein files and everything else going on. But ultimately I'm glad he was arrested. I mean, especially he did this in Minnesota where there was not too long ago the anti Christian shooting of the young children in the Christian school. So churches and Christians have been terrorized in this state for the past few years. So to do it to them was really not cool. And if it was a synagogue, if it was a mosque, these same people defending him, these liberals on television, would not be coming to his defense. They'd be calling him a terrorist. So am I going to call him a terrorist? Not necessarily. But what he did was absolutely wrong and there are victims of this. In fact, afterwards he said that trauma was part of the point of why he did it. That change comes from people being traumatized. And in this case it was children. So it's disgusting.
Adam Weiss
If there's a criminal statue on the books of being smug, then he should be just arrested being smug and condescending towards conservatives for decades upon decades. I think he's getting his due here because I want to show photo six here. Blair, this is your Washington Post profile. That's how I came across it. Couldn't believe the Post gave you a nice article here. She isn't the only visible pro Trump trans person on the right. Caitlyn Jenner, the Olympian and mega celebrity, was on record supporting the president in 2016 and 24. But with 1.5 million YouTube subscribers on her personal page and another 688,000 on the page of for our podcast, the Blair White project. Plus 540,000 follows on Instagram and more than 700,000 may be the most visible right wing trans Personnels built a following exclusively online. That is a nice photo of you with some. A pink gun. Obviously, I don't know if that's your own personal collection, but it's a cute gun.
Blair White
It is.
Adam Weiss
I came across Player, I think in 2017 was fascinating content she's putting up on Instagram. Because when I messenger, I look back, I had a message from 2017. I said, wow, you must be doing this a long time. So the fact that the Washington Post gave you a fair shake is pretty. They actually. And that now one of the seconds we did, they just laid off 300 people, which is kind of like, yeah, I saw that do. So give me your thoughts on your profile. Did people like it, enjoy it? And you got a fair shake here. What's your thoughts on the Washington Post?
Blair White
Yeah, it was surprising, like you said, you know, conservatives getting. I even heard in the previous segment, I was listening in how they'll get like, glowing, you know, pieces for Gavin Newsom or for people on the left and then people on the right. Oftentimes they'll be as disgusting as to take purposefully ugly pictures. So it was definitely surprising. It was definitely, you know, leading up to it, I knew it was coming out, and I was just kind of bracing myself for impact. Like. Like, it's probably going to rip me to shreds. I don't know why I said yes to this, but ultimately it was, I would say, neutral to positive, which is really great. You know, I have been doing this for a long time, and, you know, I often wonder why, like, it's taking so long to sort of get people to understand that I am a part of this movement, but I am, and it was really positive. So the actual writer, I'm not sure if he was laid off or not, but hopefully it didn't have anything to do with saying good things about me. But, I mean, it was. It was great, and I am thankful to them for that.
Adam Weiss
Yeah, it's great that they did a profile. I was coming back from Europe or somewhere. I was with a Washington Post reporter two or three years ago, and I said to Kerry Lake, they want to speak to you, to Washington Post and do something sort of like a profile. So I don't want to talk to them. I don't want to talk to him. I says, should I, Adam? I said, trust me, it'll be. It'll be okay. All press could press it. Then she said, you know what? It was fair to me. I got a lot of press, a lot of people. So sometimes all press in our Business and communication, all press is good press. Let's go here. I want to show you this club. Let's go to cut six here. It's the Grammys because you're in California and they were up to no good. They're celebrities again. So let's go, let's start a cut six here. Grammy host Noah and it was really. And Trump threatened to sue him. But let's go to cut six.

Song of the Year.
Jade Warwick
Congratulations, Billie Eilish.
Andrew Edwards
Wow.
Public Podcast Sponsor
That is a Grammy that every artist.
Blair White
Wants almost as much as Trump wants.
Adam Weiss
Greenland, which makes sense, I mean, because.
Blair White
Epstein's island is gone.
Adam Weiss
He needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton. So. Oh, I told you, it's my last year. What are you going to do about it? But, you know, I wish they would just be funny. First of all, I said in another segment, Clinton went like 19 or so times. Trump never went to the island. So if you're going to make a joke, joke should. Joke should be about something that's actually a little bit real or give me your thoughts on that comment.
Blair White
Yeah, I mean, I haven't watched any award shows in a long time. I feel like people who are still watching rich and people, rich and famous people get, you know, awards just for being rich and famous. And I know some of them put out music and movies and all that, but ultimately all of it is rigged. And we know that, just like Hollywood in general. I also find it interesting how he's pretending like there aren't people in the room who were in the files, you know, as if Hollywood is some innocent, you know, if you're tapped in at all, you know that Hollywood is one of the most evil places. Epstein island is just one location. We can talk about the several locations in la, you know, And I also find it interesting, they mocked Nicki Minaj for obviously being on the right in a Trump supporter and at the same time she was posting about satanic rituals and how people in Hollywood worship Satan, all these things. And they never said she was wrong about that. They just said she was wrong for supporting Trump. So I pay attention to what they say and they don't say. And yeah, Hollywood is a despicable, despicable place. And all the, you know, posturing about ice. I've seen clips from this Grammys. I don't know if you have that clip or anything, but like, it was just really ridiculous to see.
Joy Behar
So.
Adam Weiss
Okay, let's jump to clip five. Cut five. Billie Eilish, watch this one. I don't. Is Billie Hydra androgynous I don't know, but let's go to cut five here.
Allison Wynn
No one is illegal on stolen land.
Jade Warwick
And yeah, it's just really hard to.
Adam Weiss
Know what to say and what to do right now.
Jade Warwick
And I just, I feel really hopeful in this room and I feel like we just need to keep fighting and speaking up and protesting and our, our voices really do matter and the people matter and I say, sorry, can you.
Adam Weiss
Make sense of that one? I don't, I can't make sense. If it's all stolen land, can we go live in your mansion? Right.
Blair White
That clip just kills me. Just the soulless people clapping for just like a Twitter tagline, you know, they exist in these, just like buzzwords, in these buzz phrases and it's like I saw a lot of people actually found her home on Google Maps and she has not one, not two, but three walls around her home, which, you know, normal rich people only have maybe one if they're lucky. So the fact that she's so guarded and yet she thinks that her house deserves more security and should be more private than our country. And of course, any problems arising from immigration or illegal immigration, she's never going to feel the effects of. It. Reminds me of in 2020 when all the celebrities were, you know, saying to keep protesting. Creep for George Floyd, but keep it in downtown la. Don't come up to the hills where they all live. They were just outwardly saying where to protest. Keep it away from the rich people. So, you know, needless to say, it's very removed from reality. It's very removed from the average person. Billie Eilish will never have to worry about being a victim of any, you.
Adam Weiss

Welcome back to Media Exposed. We got the super bowl coming up. It seems Trump is even dominating those headlines. Even without taking the field. He's not going to go to this one. Whether his name is floating around or on the ad spots, he's just always the center of attention. Just a shadow of himself over the game is making big news. There was some story where inside the administration they were debating whether he should go or not. Probably the logistics were too much for him to get out there, but he lives friend free seems in America's biggest sports coming out. Meanwhile, we had the Melania premiere last week. It was shaping up as Hollywood new documentary. Melania did well, pulled in around 8 million over the weekend. They cost them 40 million but the media is losing their minds. NPR calls it enigma monologue. The New York Times questions a brand. The New York called it a journey into the void translates she's winning and they were triggered. It's Melania's version of a mic drop and she did it without a word about politics. The film focused on her life. Her image was 20 days before the second inauguration. The left can't stand it when a Trump take control when a Trump is independent. They wanted Melania silent, invisible, erase forever. Instead she sent a stage writing her own story and America's just showing up to watch it. Press event with Melania at the White House turned into something else. I want to welcome my next guest Andrew Edwards, McDonald's CEO Land and Sea Energy Company. Andrew, thanks for joining us. I know you would. Thanks for joining us Andrew. I know you were there at the premiere and the reception. That was quite the reception, right?
Andrew Edwards
Indeed. It was absolutely tops.
Adam Weiss
I know if I told somebody if if we had the super bowl of politics, that was it some like, of a Golden Globes or Oscars. That whole reception red carpet was just something else. Just witness all those secretaries coming in and the stars of the MAGA movement coming out from Alanya, because it was a coming out party. What'd you think of the reception? What'd you think of the premiere? What'd you think of the movie?
Andrew Edwards
It was exceptional. I mean, the, the event itself was full of great energy. Of course, all the liberty loving who's who of our country were there and you know, to be able to say hi to Doug Burgum and Howard Lutnick and RFK Jr. And, and have a nice talk with Ben Carson and his wife standing next to Kash Patel and Carrie Lake. And to see Donald Trump talking to Melania's father as she got this moment in the limelight was really long overdue. For a long time, I felt that Melania hasn't got the credit that she deserves to be the wife of the most powerful man on earth, a mother to such exceptional children, and as an advocate for so many noteworthy causes. And even the importance as they showed in the movie, her professional and elegant disposition, you know, her graceful demeanor throughout her entire public life, that's really important. And it reflects incredibly well in our country and the young ladies all over the world.
Adam Weiss
Right. And it was, it showed her journey for 20 days. It showed her independence, and it showed a tiny bit of trauma. But I love the way they showed the aerial views and her, her strength as a First Lady. Wanting to make a difference this time around was really important. But if you look at Google, if you type in the word Melania, the media is just non stop, brutally trying to take this down. You know what's interesting, Andrew? Eight day. A week before this movie even premiered, the Daily Beast and other publications were writing how bad ticket sales were happening. Going as ticket sales were bad before the movie came out. They were just vanishing fake stories just to hurt Trump, I think, hurt the administration. I think it comes down to anything to hurt the administration. Anything to hurt Trump. What do you think about that?
Andrew Edwards
Yeah, it's actually really unfortunate because in a world where we are appreciating women and elevating them more than ever before, you would think that, you know, First Lady's off limits and the office of the President demands respect, respect, and that she's earned it. You know, there's nothing she hasn't done that hasn't earned that respect. And so, you know, it really just is very telling about the strategic goals versus the humanity of the left in regards to how well she's been received by, of course, those folks who believe in this administration and all it's doing for our country versus those that would do anything they could to just take power back regardless of any of that.
Adam Weiss
He held a press. She held the press event early towards the latter part, midweek. And she was with a Keith Siegel who was a hostage and with his wife, Aviva Siegel, talking about their journey. They were in the, you know, the guy, one of the hostages from Israel and she wanted to bring him in and talk about their journey and their suffering. And, you know, so she held it in the White House and she's, she separates the movie from the White House. But I want to show you how devious the media is. Let's go to cut 7.
Joy Behar
As President agreed to release any more Ukrainians.
Allison Wynn
I'm working on it.
Jade Warwick
I'm working on it.
Adam Weiss
And we are in the process.
Jade Warwick
So I hope we have success very soon.
Adam Weiss
I will keep you posted.
Blair White
Why do you feel it's appropriate to.
Allison Wynn
Use an official White House event to promote your documentary? This is not promotion. We are here celebrating the release of.
Adam Weiss
The hostages of Aviva and Keith.
Jade Warwick
They were in Washington D.C. they called.
Allison Wynn
Me, they said they would like to come over to thank me and to give hugs.
Jade Warwick
And that's why we are here. Has nothing to do with promotion.
Allison Wynn
Thank you.
Adam Weiss
We are here celebrating the release and.
Jade Warwick
The life of those two incredible people. So let's honor that.
Adam Weiss
I wish it was. If we reverse the situation, Andrew and Michelle Obama was sitting there and had a documentary about her life and the same files. Where would they treat her that way? She's holding a sermon at the life of the hostages and they way they ask her why is she promoting a movie and she wasn't at the time. And the second one's about the Epstein files. It's so disrespectful. The media. Give me your thoughts. And she held herself in grace again, just like the movie. Right?
Andrew Edwards
Of course. Just like you said. It's the battle that we continue to face with the media clearly being lopsided. It's why America's voice is so important. And again, she knows how to handle this and stay on task. I mean, she's a genuine pioneer and champion for things that really matter, like children's well being, foster care support, online safety, emerging technologies and her Be Best campaign. She's got the Take it Down act where she's really making sure that we require online platforms to remove inappropriate images Protect victims and especially children from digital exploitation. So, you know, I think that. I think the audience knows it and I don't think that the media gets as far as it thinks it does with this type of interference.
Adam Weiss
Yeah. And then even though she did really well, the movie for a documentary. Right. Did really well, then the next part they write about, well, there's a separation between blue and red and a disconnect. I know a lot of people in blue that want to see Melania and respect. But I had to. I did a radio show and the woman said it was in the theater in Oregon. And then when she went and actually went to see it, it was out of the theater. So I don't know, who knows what kind of games in the blue cities they're playing. I wouldn't put. I wouldn't let, you know, put. We couldn't put them up to, you know, anything. Their behavior. The left does. Well, I want to show you this photo 7 here. It's photo Melania. Let's watch this Melania on stage. If you didn't remember that she was elegant, she came out for the speech. That's from the premiere. That's at the Trump Kennedy Center. And photo eight, there's two handsome guys here. In photo eight, it's me and Howard Lutnick, the Commerce Secretary. We had a nice chat, too. It was a nice long talk. About. Isn't actually about when he met Elon. He says, you know, when he met Elon, they were trying to recruit Elon. They flew. He says, I flew down to Texas, Austin, Texas, to meet Elon, and Elon's nowhere to be found. So Elon sent him to Taco Tuesday at some bar. And he's sitting there having margaritas all day and. And tacos. And then finally got a call. All right. Come to Elon's apartment. He comes. It's a thousand square foot loft with a Kia furniture. And he's sitting there just waiting for Elon. And that was before Elon was on board. But I found that really funny about his Elon story. Here he is. Here I am. Photo nine of me and the red carpet. Melania, carpet it. Let's go to photo 11. Here, Judge Janine and Leanna, another guest, Leanna Warner gray. That's photo 10, Judge Janine. It's good to see her. And photo 11 is me and Steve Witkoff. 13, Bobby Kenny and I, the Secretary of Health and Human services. And photo 14, last photos, you and Ben Carson, Ed. Yes, sir. There you are. You and Ben Carson on the screen. There what a pleasant guy he is. But this was like the super bowl was like the entertainment Hollywood of the MAGA movement. Right. It was enjoyable to see everybody in one swoop. I wish the reception part would let sometimes you in a moment in time. You wish those receptions would last longer. But overall it was a great, great event. Right. And overall, hopefully Melania's movie keeps going up. Tell everybody quickly a little bit about your company in 30 seconds so people can know what you do out there besides being a big Trump supporter, MAGA supporter.
Andrew Edwards
Look, I'm a 30 year multi sector entrepreneur. I've been focused on what they call triple bottom line solutions for our country in the world. We're making a major impact in the energy space with a proven environmentally optimal technology for energy production. So, you know, there's drill, baby, drill. That's the big mandate to understand that this is a requirement and it's not going away anytime soon. We want to do that in the best way we possibly can. And so we like to think that we fit beautifully within that mandate. And you could, you could call us pump, baby, pump.
Adam Weiss
Great. Andrew, thanks for joining us for time at Media Exposed. We'll see you soon. Thanks again.
Andrew Edwards

Episode Date: February 8, 2026
Podcast: Real America’s Voice
Host: Adam Weiss | Guests: Jade Warwick, Allison Wynn, Blair White, Andrew Edwards
In this episode, Adam Weiss takes aim at the mainstream media’s collapse, culture wars in politics and entertainment, and the media’s treatment of public figures from Trump to Gavin Newsom to Melania Trump. He is joined by prominent guests including commentator Jade Warwick, Silicon Valley entrepreneur Allison Wynn, conservative YouTuber Blair White, and business executive Andrew Edwards.
The discussion covers:
[03:01-04:44]
"I love watching a good demolition. And that's what we're seeing. The legacy media... over. A dinosaur for a while. Now people are turning to podcasts and independent journalists..." [04:44]
"Basically, Americans are walking away from traditional media and the business model is collapsing."
— Adam Weiss [03:06]
[06:04-07:45]
"They just care about the people of the country, Britain, our values... reform is being labeled as extremism but it truly is not. It's just getting Britain back on the right tracks."
— Jade Warwick [07:08]
[07:45-12:34]
"We really do need to address the elephant in the room instead of avoiding it."
"I'm surprised that the View still has viewers. Everyone named in the files should be questioned and held accountable." [11:29]
"You know why you're not smiling? Because you know, you're not telling the truth… CNN has no ratings because of people like you."
— Donald Trump (via clip), discussed by Adam Weiss [08:19]
"[Whoopi Goldberg and Hillary Clinton]... they're all part of the same club and you and me are not in it." — Jade Warwick [11:29]
[14:14 - 25:13]
"This is a beautiful makeover. The problem is... it's a facelift and unfortunately there are a lot of scarring." [17:18]
"They have failed policies and they're trying to really do this political Botox, as we would call it, to then remake Gavin Newsom as relatable..."
"What is going on with the media? There's one reality... and this is another rewriting of history that the media is doing right now at this moment."
— Adam Weiss [19:43]
"It's a beautiful book. It's a beautiful magazine, glossy. But when you actually open up the book and the magazine, the story doesn't make sense. Nothing adds up."
— Allison Wynn [25:13]
[27:14-33:55]
"Leading up to it, I knew it was coming out, and I was... bracing myself for impact... But ultimately it was, I would say, neutral to positive, which is really great." [32:55]
“What Don Lemon did was lead a pack of angry anti-Christian so-called protesters... old woman broke her arm, likely will never be able to use it again.... If it was a synagogue, if it was a mosque, these same people defending him... would be calling him a terrorist.” [29:20]
"It [the profile] was definitely surprising... oftentimes they’ll be as disgusting as to take purposefully ugly pictures [of conservatives]... It was, I would say, neutral to positive, which is really great."
— Blair White [32:55]
"The View is first and foremost a ridiculous program... Sometimes I catch glimpses of it like this and it's... a reminder of how bad mainstream media is."
— Blair White [29:20]
[34:41 - 38:23]
"She has not one, not two, but three walls around her home... yet she thinks her house deserves more security and should be more private than our country." "Billie Eilish will never have to worry about being a victim of any, you know, illegal immigration crime." [37:20-38:23]
[40:16-51:41]
"NPR calls it enigma monologue. The New York Times questions a brand.... translates she's winning and they were triggered." [40:16]
"You would think that, you know, First Lady's off-limits and the office of the President demands respect... and that's really important." [44:09]
"If we reverse the situation, Andrew, and Michelle Obama was sitting there... where would they treat her that way?"
— Adam Weiss [46:32]
[50:16-51:41]
