." >>> then mandates, conspiracies, what is stacking up at newsmax? what is going on at the far right cable channel? >>> and then a flashback to one year ago today. think about what happened one year ago today and how it foreshadowed today's media divide. >>> first, the difference between a slogan and a story. right now it's in vogue to say the democrats have a messaging problem. maybe they do, probably do, but that's for candidates and strategists to figure out. that's not the media's problem. the media suffers from a different dilemma, the slogan versus the story. slogans are simple, they are seductive. infrastructure week is a slogan, cheerky one. it became a punch line for years and years. but it's just a slogan. the story about what all of the infrastructure money, what all of the funding will do, the story about rebuilding these roads and bridges and of the expansion of broadband, infrastructure week is just a slogan. we need to know about the story. there's a gop slogan out there as well, the bill is a monstrosity. this is a slogan republicans

we launched newsmax to you in half ago. there are probably more people in his room that watched the first episode now were averaging hundreds of thousands a night. people -- we don't do a ton of advertising. it's word-of-mouth people are coming say like the network i like your show. that's because there's alternatives and are losing their grip. that's what, if they don't want you to see anything but what they show you. but i'm a big believer in whether it's newsmax the blade heritage we need to support the big team and get out there share stuff, encourage other people to get involved. it is part of our duty as americans to be in this arena. >> america worth fighting for. push back against this potential radical nation. i've got one last question for you. a picture. a mask. oh, my gosh if there was an image to the last year and a half. talked to me about deciding this picture why you chose of what it means for the cover. >> so we went back and forth on a lot of different designs and it's like anything else when you find the

in the media, they're going after newsmax. in the mainstream press they're going after families and parents now because they're standing up against critical race theory. what's the deal with cancel culture and this cancel agenda. >> it's time to the first two things. liberals are afraid of conservatives because our agenda and our policies make sense . and the second that you expose that, they win. they win and we lose so what do we do? they have to cancel us, they don't want your voice is heard so they call you a misogynist . anytime that you challenge anything you're a bad person. and igot to be honest as someone who's got with my fair share.it doesn't feel great . and it takes a pretty thick skin. i'll give you a sillyexample. i was out with a bunch of guys couple of weeks ago . and they were telling me this story out in last county virginia where a bunch of parents were getting involved in their school . and one of the women works at verizon. so she was arguing against a lot of the changes that they were making saying she d

newsmax continues to grow. they basically sponsored the arizona charade recall. so fox news has real competition on the far right in the way they never did. they will never, ever allow themselves to be outflanked to the far right. they don't care how many people they kill, talking about a covid hoax. they don't care how seriously they injure free and fair elections in this country. they have no qualms. this is beyond conservative media, this is a threat to our democracy and they know it. >> you have people like paul ryan who sit on the board who are looking the other way. what can be done? because they don't have to actually have commercials. what people don't understand, when you have basic cable, your baseball cable is paying for fox. you can't get at them that way. they have no advertisers in some of these shows. they're just promos for mypillow. what can they do -- if the public feels that they're dangerous, what can people do about it? >> it's very problematic if you go back to bill o'reilly and glenn beck. tucker carlson does not have a single blue chip adv

greg kelly from newsmax took time to commiserate with one of these heroic martyrs, and this should tell you just about all you need to know. >> tell us where you are right now, you're on jail, where, how does it work, what's going on where you are right now? >> right now i'm in what i like to refer as d.c. gitmo, the d.c. correctional facility. i can only describe it as psychologically damaging, torturous, and inhumane here. solitary confinement for anywhere between 18 to 26 hours per day. [ laughter ] it used to be upwards of 23 to 30 hours per day. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: wow. this daylight saving time has everyone all screwed up. that's a lot of hours. [ applause ] the trials for those accused of storming the capitol are piling up. one of them just finished. the united states versus jenna ryan. jenna ryan, you may recall, is the woman who flew to d.c. in a private jet, and used her attendance at the insurrection to plug her real estate business. >> we're going to [ bleep ] go in here! we want her dead, it doesn't matter. here we go. jenna ryan, your realtor. > jimmy: yeah, yeah. shoul

these people need to quit weighing in on things and stop lying -- the trial was shown on newsmax and fox. there was all kinds of video. if you want to know the truth, you need to go find that video. host: let's go to omar, calling from brooklyn, new york on the independent line. good morning. caller: good morning, jesse, good morning, america, good morning, black america. the people on the line calling about the rittenhouse case are trying to -- their way out of what happened. i would like all the black americans to pay attention and listen closely to how they speak. first of all, if anyone here is 17 years old, and you walk out at 17 years old at 10:00 at night, why are your parents not around? when i was going around after school when i was 17, i was arrested and my parents got me out. that was a light offense. this 17-year-old was walking around with a gun with no supervision. this was a black lives matter protest because a black man. shot seven times in his back walking away from police. these three white men were expressing themselves by saying, this is not right. this is to sho

most people, since ken raised it, they are watching fox, newsmax, when america. the are you reading -- they are reading conservative newspapers, and they had this notion the are being surrounded by mainstream social preaching media. yes, there is socialist media out there, media that preaches socialism. but mainstream i do not see it. host: where do democrats need to be careful about this rhetoric of socialism appealing to the swing voters? guest: no. republicans, again, i have to tip my hat to them. they do a very good job of labeling something and using it to kick people in the gut. republicans' message based on the amygdala and emotion, and democrats tend to message on rational and empirical. republicans message in socialism or high taxes. so what democrats need to do is find a way of resonating responsibly with anxieties people have. i am not preaching to democrats, i am no longer there. and there are democrats who have figured this out and do exceptional jobs of framing issues so they are resonating with their voters, which leads to the final element of your

today sean is very busy hosting a new show on newsmax tv and somehow in between his daily press advising talking with the president and working with activists across the country he found time for the new fantastic book which we will discuss today the book is called radical nation joe biden kamala harris dangerous plane for america. please join me in welcoming shaun johnda stanford. >> of course. >> this is heritage. >> it looks people. >> it's a beautiful day and were really glad to have this conversation, this is a fantastic and timely book. i had the pleasure ofha being ae to read it and i have a sneak copy of one today and all of our got can take him a copy as well. i want to start their with your thinking going into the book. obviously you've written a few books before. this is your third period and this is well-timed everything that we are seeing in washington, the biden regime, the very dangerous legislative agenda. what led you to write this book what was your thinking the make you take pen to paper. >> right after it was clear that joe biden was going to become president in janua

house christmas festivities inadvertently set off a rare moment of truth on the right wing fox wannabe newsmax today, where the veil of anti-biden b.s. lifted ever so slightly. >> it is the season of giving, and the white house wants texas to give $139,000 to cover the cost of joe biden's first national christmas tree lighting. while inflation still on the rise, many americans may not be able to get their own christmas tree or other holiday necessities. yet the white house, they'll still have theirs. and more. >> it is the white house. i mean, you do want them to have it. is this out of the ordinary? >> no, it's not. they spent $160,000 before. so we're trying to create something out of nothing? never happens on tv. >> we don't do that. >> jimmy: wow. a moment of clarity. that was like watching a dog walk into a mirror. christmas is now less than a month away. thanksgiving is behind us, and now every company is rolling out their holiday-themed products. and none more so than starbucks who are adding a new flavored coffee to their seasonal collection. >> the holidays are here. and there's no be

are you watching newsmax? that was said with love. anyway. i don't know. my question is, why does everyone have to apologize for what is considered basic daily behavior on my part? >> i think a lot of it is michigan. you have the governor of michigan who says you think gas prices are high now, let's shut down the pipeline. it will go through the roof. then you have the former governor of michigan -- when she was asked how are you going to bring back gasoline prices she just leaned back ten cackled. >> they need a desperately needed darty. >> greg: do you think she is being honest question mike speak out know. unless she had a bloody merry transfusion, yes. by the way, this bunch tailgating with bloody marys, you are supposed to be drinking beer. not sitting well during -- i think it is done because what she should have said was i was about to throw up at a football game so instead of getting carded out, she said i was looking for an ohio state fan to vomit on. and then everyone would've loved her in michigan. >> greg: that would be clever. but bloody mary

newsmax announced they will be requiring their employees to get the vaccine. which is surprising. this would be like arby's making their staff go vegan. today is the deadline for federal workers to be fully vaccinated, and thousands of them are claiming religious exemptions to try to get out of it. a religious exemption is basically asking god to write you a note to get you out of p.e. it is a fanciful idea considering the fact that even the pope supports the vaccine. if you can prove you're more religious than the pope, then i'm okay with it. the pope of green bay quarterback aaron rodgers has been playing some very spotty defense. as i'm sure you know, rodgers, who is unvaccinated, tested positive for covid last week. even though he told reporters he was immunized months ago. rodgers missed the game yesterday. he took a beating on social media, and some of his sponsors are dropping him or slowing down on running his ads. a-rodg defended himself by saying he tested negative over 300 times before testing positive. which is the same kind of logic your 95-year-old grandmother uses t

far-right newsmax tv host steve cortes saying it was evil and minimizing the risks of the virus for children. gop state senator wendy rogers going further, accusing big bird of being a communist. these people, i mean come on. facts first. 897 children have died of covid in this country. thousands more have been hospitalized. now that children can get the vaccine, it's one more way that families can protect each other and eventually get back to normal life. here's the real thing that people need to know about and just in case you just met big bird recently, for those of us who are old enough to remember, sesame street has always had important conversations with children about their health. i want to go back to 1972 when big bird got the measles vaccine. 1972. now, why wasn't that communism and politicized? you can bet that kids will continue to learn about the importance of getting vaccinated even if it takes an 8 foot tall fine feathered friend to do it, if certain adults won't do it. ignorance. >>> next, the whole country was obsessed with gabby petito when she went missing. but what about

fox news the most and those who trust other maga media outlets more like one america news network or newsmax. take a look at this. 97% of far right news fans such as oan believe the election was stolen. for fox, it's 82% of fox news fans believe the election was stolen. both the numbers are obviously very alarming. neither one is acceptable since the election was not stolen, but what does that tell you? >> it tells you not only for a long time we've been thinking about fox news and measuring that. what we found during the trump era is we started having to measure one more click to the right. and that was organizations that get built up like one america news. that became trump's mouth piece during his administration. and we're seeing that real effect show up particularly among republicans. it just escalates. so among -- you see it among the people who believe the election was stolen. you also see that escalation among people who think that violence is going to be justified. 4 in 10 among those who -- among those republicans who most trust. >> i think december 2016 i first heard this pizzagate

this is michael flynn on newsmax. let me hit play here. >> he could order the -- within the swing states, if he wanted to, he could take military capabilities and he could place them in those states and basically re-run an election in each of those states. i mean, it's not unprecedented. these people out there talking about martial law, like it's something that we've never done. martial law has been instituted 64 times. >> yeah. so, that might be why they want to talk to michael flynn, the invoking of martial law. john eastman earlier. this is a lawyer who honestly most people didn't know much about during the campaign but he is the one who drafted the six-point memo to donald trump outlining what mike pence could do to overturn the election. so, he's the memo author. obviously, huge interest in him. same kind of thing, documents by november 22nd. jason miller. he was a coms guy, communications guy, he had stayed on with trump afterwards. you heard ryan mention the will l lard hotel. january 5th, there was a meeting t

and yet for those viewers of like one america news and newsmax nearly unanimous believing that the election was stolen. but again, it's notable that there's kind of two big lies here. one is about the election. but the bigger lie right behind all that is that the country has been stolen from them. so once you've spent four years and five if you count the campaign of the trump years telling people that their country has been stolen from them, it's only a small step to say that the election was stolen if something much bigger than that has been stolen from them. and i think that really did seed the ground for these views. >> it's really frightening. i mean, do you think that this all came out of the trump presidency or was it here already? would we be seeing people believing in all of these lies, in all of this craziness if it were not for him? >> you know, it really did get ramped up. i should say there's a longer rhetoric. the republicans' southern strategy began really in the civil rights era and post civil rights was all about telling disgruntled white americans that their country was bei

it's dominated by fox news and it's got copy cats like newsmax. murdoch recently told his shareholders, conservatives will be held back if trump stayed focused on the past and that the past is the past and it's time for conservatives to think about the fup. i wonder if the company murdoch runs or the republican party he controls will even listen to that. i kind of doubt it. look at how the gop responded to one of its own, paul gosar, being censured for sharing a violent animae depicting him attacking prominent democrats with swords. >> today we're critiquing paul gosar's anime. next week, we might be indicting the wylie coyote for an explosive ordnance against the road runner. >> or really anything marjorie taylor greene has to say. >> we need a good plan that restores america back to the republic that it was originally founded to be because our freedoms are so precious, steve, that we do not want to lose them and the only way you get freedom back after you've lost it is with the price of blood. >> the price of blood. ted cruz talks about trump de

in the meantime at newsmax, dr. reiner, there's an anchor leaving the network. the daily beast says steve cortez is on the way out. he said the company would not comply with the vaccine mandate. in the real world scientists are trying to figure out what's going on in the future of covid. in this kind of fantasy right wing battleground, you still have people so -- i don't know, how do you describe what's going on with these right wing figures who do not comply, do not comply with vaccine mandates? what is this battle about? >> well, it's the battle of science versus anti-science. >> anti-science, okay. >> anti-science. and i think, again, if this alarm and concern about this emerging variant shows us everything it's we haven't vaccinated nearly enough people around the world and not nearly enough people in this country. and the only way for us to get back to normalcy in this country is to get everyone vaccinated. and if it requires mandates to do that, so be it. the other thing is if you look at the travel ban, the travel ban shows really a big disconnect. we are

meanwhile, of all places -- newsmax announced they will be requiring their employees to get vaccinated. that's like arby's making their staff go vegan, it makes no sense whatsoever. [ laughter ] today is the deadline for federal workers to be fully vaccinated, and thousands of them are claiming religious exemptions to try to get out of it. a religious exemption is basically asking god to write you a note to get you out of p.e. class. [ laughter ] it's a fanciful idea considering the fact that even the pope supports the vaccine. if you can prove you're more religious than the pope, then i'm okay with it. [ laughter ] the pope of green bay, quarterback aaron rodgers, has been playing some very spotty defense. you probably heard, aaron rodgers, who's unvaccinated, tested positive for covid last week even though he told reporters he was immunized months ago. he missed the game yesterday. he took a beating on social media, and some of his sponsors are dropping him or slowing down on running his ads. a-rodg defended himself by saying he tested negative over 300 times before testing positive.

you might recall, his home and office were raided by the feds earlier this year last night he was on newsmax and claimed that only trump cronies are targeted by the feds >> i have to get your reaction to the breaking news, these five new subpoenas from the quote unquote, january 6th committee of nancy pelosi. the idea that we've had roger stone subpoenaed, alex jones, three other individuals, add to that mark meadows and steve bannon. are we seeing the collapse of the rule of law at the highest levels in the united states, mr. mayor? >> yes, sebastian. we watched that all through the trump presidency i mean, the democrats handled themselves like fascists there were no constitutional rules. why is it that the only lawyers whose law offices get broken into are donald trump's lawyers? remember, they went and got my icloud account i'm a lawyer >> seth: all right, but not really [ laughter ] i mean, your law license was suspended, and you lost every case you brought after the election the only thing you succeeded at doing was drumming up publicity for a landscaping company.

florida congressman matt gaetz said on newsmax that rittenhouse would probably make a good intern. >> you know what? kyle rittenhouse would probably make a pretty good congressional intern. we may reach out to him and see if he's be interested in helping the country in additional ways. >> and then on twitter, arizona congressman paul gosar asked his followers if rittenhouse should get a congressional medal of honor for, quote, selflessly protecting lives and property. by the way, the guy that was censured. this was after tweeting that he would arm-wrestle matt gaetz so have kyle as his intern. rounding out those internship offers was madison caw thorn, who also this very unsettling message. >> kyle rittenhouse is not guilty, my friends. you have a right to defend yourselves. be armed. be dangerous. and be moral. >> okay. donna edwards, former democratic congresswoman from maryland, contributing columnist to "the washington post" and nbc analyst and david jolly, former member of congress, national chair of the serve america movement and an msnbc political contributor. guys, can we just

but there's kayleigh mcenany, the fox host, jason miller, newsmax commentator, all of these folks who have media platforms who are being called to tell what they know about the attack january 6th. and what they do, whether they follow bannon, is an interesting story line here. there's also breaking news from abc's jonathan carl, his book "betrayal" comes out tuesday. it's loaded with scoops. one of the scoop is about yet another coup menu. ellis drafted a memo that mark meadows sent to the vp of staff send an argument why mike pence should overturn the election results and basically handed it off to trump and allowed the coup to go forward. so month after month, new books come out, new memos revealed, new proof of the coup plot comes out. does any of it break through anymore? >> great question, yeah. it does and it doesn't. right wing media, for the majority part of it, is really confused right now on messaging. after the win, of course, they're claiming false flags and there's messaging issues. that goes back to january 6th and the way they're packaging that as something that wasn't

they were on newsmax the other night and they hit every topic they had. host: did you read their book when it came out? caller: i haven't read their book but they are on the ball. host: they had a book that came out last year and we interviewed them live and took calls. karen in north carolina, democrat. caller: thank you for taking my call. i did have a question on the information from our last representative you are speaking with. how are we looking at the cost for electric vehicles to be charged and how are we looking at the volume of charging citizens and who is responsible to depend for it? host: what do you think the answer should be? caller: i feel the government will get involved. this will take some serious considerations. the u.k. had what we see around the world, the last player on the field or we will take responsibility for being actively involved in making this a more favorable country. i feel that we should be. there should be some underwriting for those who are hesitant in making the change. host: craig in idaho, independent line. caller:

people in kenosha, you know, i can't understand how all of these conservative reporters on fox news and newsmax are supporting this kid. this kid killed two people, came down there with an illegal gun, and talk about white supremacy, this kid along to the proud boys in illinois. and the judge in this case is unbelievable. host: ron, that case now to the jury and they are in deliberations. i expect when the verdict does come down we will be talking about. perhaps tomorrow or the next day on "washington journal." greg in findlay, ohio. you are next. caller: good morning and thank you, sir, for taking the call. -- my call. i was a little disturbed to hear that comment from the man that came to america in 1959 in regards to democrats being like nazis. you know, i find that really disturbing, because a lot of my family fought in world war ii. and to complain about immigrants coming across to this country, you know, if they had $20,000 in their pocket to get a good lawyer they could become citizens a lot quicker with two pennies in their pocket. it makes no sense. you know, i hear all of these commen

these people need to quit weighing in on things and stop lying -- the trial was shown on newsmax and fox. there was all kinds of video. if you want to know the truth, you need to go find that video. host: let's go to omar, calling from brooklyn, new york on the independent line. good morning. caller: good morning, jesse, good morning, america, good morning, black america. the people on the line calling about the rittenhouse case are trying to -- their way out of what happened. i would like all the black americans to pay attention and listen closely to how they speak. first of all, if anyone here is 17 years old, and you walk out at 17 years old at 10:00 at night, why are your parents not around? when i was going around after school when i was 17, i was arrested and my parents got me out. that was a light offense. this 17-year-old was walking around with a gun with no supervision. this was a black lives matter protest because a black man. shot seven times in his back walking away from police. these three white men were expressing themselves by saying, this is not right. this is to sho

and then fox news arrived, and the other cousin to them, newsmax, all of them, and they are just feeding everybody every day all this mccarthyism that will become socialists, communists, carrying on, and you beat this and heads long enough, you get people stirred up with a toxic elixir of enthusiasm and rage and give them the targets. it must be those liberal people everyday out there, and all of a sudden people of targets on their back. host: this is dug out of florida. republican -- this is doug out of florida. republican. go ahead. caller: yes. i think it is bad on both sides. like the other day i was watching c-span, and obama was telling that cop-26 to fight and stay angry -- telling at cop-26 to fight and stay angry. i get is that on both sides. host: robert, lynchburg, virginia. independent. caller: good morning. good morning, america. i am an independent. i voted republican. i voted democrat. i voted for reagan, nixon. what we have to do, john, i think is add civility by toning down the rhetoric on both sides. but the republicans, you know what happens, i am looking at trump, and
