18
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:47.959
about it. Ladies and gentlemen, The mainstream media, the free
19
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:53.120
press as we know it is gone. They're dead. Close
20
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:57.560
the casket, toss the dirt on them, and just stop
21
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:01.799
the taxpayer funded checks that are going to like Politico
22
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:04.879
and Associated Press in the New York Times and the
23
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:10.360
Washington Post and CNN and NPR and PBS and BBC
24
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:15.240
and all the rest of them. Now what remains of
25
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:19.759
what used to be the news is this fully transformed
26
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:26.159
into a propaganda mouthpiece of the leftist wing, of course,
27
00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:32.120
spewing ideology and lying boldly, writing your face in an
28
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:37.719
allegiance to their masters. The hunter Biden laptop was Russian
29
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:45.479
disinformation fly, Russia collusion fly blackout. No coverage of the
30
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:51.120
Biden's cognitive deterioration. The more than three hundred and twenty
31
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:55.360
five thousand miners who were sent illegally across the border
32
00:02:55.639 --> 00:03:00.800
and went missing, presumed to be trafficked with r taxpayer
33
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:07.479
money ignored and come home man. Even the open border
34
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:12.080
and all the one point seven million national security risks
35
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.800
that just pop skipped and jumped across the border, Yeah,
36
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:18.280
turn a blind eye to that. Don't look at it,
37
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:22.319
don't even see it, don't acknowledge it. They repeat, like
38
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:27.479
mocking birds, the same lines over and over again, like
39
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:32.319
they were paid to do it. Does anybody remember this clip?
40
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:39.280
Country plugging our country.
41
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:42.639
Sharing of bias and false news has become all too
42
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:46.800
common on social media were alarming. Some media outlets publishing
43
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:49.759
same fake stories without checking facts first.
44
00:03:49.960 --> 00:04:00.000
The sharing of biased and false news are.
45
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:13.759
First, unfortunately, and this is extremely dangerous to our democracy.
46
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:17.279
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy. This is extremely
47
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:21.120
dangerous to our democracy. This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.
48
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:24.600
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy. This is extremely
49
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:28.639
dangerous to our democracy. This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.
50
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:31.759
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.
51
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:34.399
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.
52
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:38.560
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy. This is extremely
53
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:43.120
dangerous to our democracy. This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.
54
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:47.040
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy. This is extremely
55
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:48.560
dangerous to our democracy.
56
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:50.759
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.
57
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:55.720
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy. Yeah. Well, entering
58
00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:01.680
seventy seven plus million Americans who said this is a sham,
59
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:07.319
it's a scam, and it smells like rotten fish. Now
60
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.600
we see that Carrie Lake has been chosen to head
61
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:14.879
the Voice of America, which she envisions as providing a
62
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:20.680
fair and accurate interpretation of America across the globe, and
63
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:28.040
in an unprecedented act of profound necessity media transparency, the
64
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:33.319
Trump administration has opened up the press briefings to what
65
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:38.759
is being called the real media. Citizens and independent journalists
66
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:43.560
and podcasters. So today we are very fortunate to have
67
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:48.199
with us Amber made to discuss the rise of citizen journalism.
68
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:52.920
Amber is trained as a journalist at the Arizona State
69
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:57.680
University and she became a radio broadcaster. Now she is
70
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:01.519
well known as the host of The Amber Show, and
71
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:05.839
she has developed an online course that's called podcast Like
72
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:10.399
a Pro to teach any aspiring hosts and journalists on
73
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:14.519
how to build a successful and self sustaining business as
74
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:19.439
a podcaster. So welcome with me, Amber May. Hello, Amber,
75
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:21.279
thank you for being with me today.
76
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:24.800
How are you exciting? And thank you for having me today.
77
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:27.279
Yeah, I'm going to do the Trump dance because it
78
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:28.120
is exciting.
79
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.120
And by the way, I wanted to let you know
80
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:32.959

Oh excellent, Oh, thank you so much. That is wonderful.
84
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:48.560
That is great news. Okay, everybody jump on after the show,
85
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:54.560
after this and go do it. In fact, I was
86
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:57.519
looking at it myself, Amber, and we're going to kind
87
00:06:57.560 --> 00:06:59.639
of talk about that because I want to get some
88
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:04.600
in site into you know, the podcasting like a pro.
89
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:08.480
This is kind of like a second career for me,
90
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.560
if you will. But I wanted to really kind of
91
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:14.439
say thank you for coming on, because this topic is
92
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:18.360
really important, the rise of citizen journalists. I mean we
93
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:21.560
see it all over social media, right, I mean, I
94
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:26.399
think people are awake now. They kind of see these falsehoods,
95
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:30.040
They see all the inaccuracies of the mainstream media. And
96
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:34.639
even Leslie Stall from Sixty Minutes she was admitting it,
97
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:38.560
like during the campaign, she said, if you watch the
98
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:43.360
opinion of us, how many people trust the press anymore?
99
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.720
We're way down there with the lawyers, like down there
100
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:50.720
with the Congress, And she said, I despair. But you know, Amber,
101
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:54.160
I I kind of say, why despair, Just turn them
102
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:57.439
off and start watching the citizen journalists. I mean that's
103
00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:01.160
just my thought. But you know, you have a unique perspective.
104
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:06.759
You trained, you worked in that environment, and I would
105
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:08.759
love it if you just kind of like shed some
106
00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:11.639
light kind of tell us what that was like. Maybe
107
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:15.040
did you see there was like a shifting coverage that
108
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:19.040
was occurring And you're a conservative journalist, so I'm kind
109
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:20.720
of wondering how you were treated.
110
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:26.720
Well, I had a great experience because after graduating school,
111
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:29.720
usually you have to start in a podunk town somewhere
112
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:31.480
to get your feet. We had to get, you know,
113
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:35.279
some experience on your belt before you could get any
114
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:40.919
to a bigger broadcast, like maybe a bigger television station,
115
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:43.600
a bigger radio station. I was very fortunate that I
116
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:46.759
started right here in Phoenix, which is a fairly large market,
117
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:49.720
and I worked at an AM station. Actually we had,
118
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:53.679
we ran two stations out of our office, and so
119
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:56.120
I did talk radio. That's what I did primarily. So
120
00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.840
I did have to intern, and I got to intern
121
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:01.399
with Carrie Lake Fox ten, and I got to do
122
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:04.919
that for two semesters. The staff there at Fox ten
123
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:08.360
was great. I had a good experience there. But however,
124
00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:10.200
you know, in journalism school they always tell you to
125
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:13.200
fact check, fact check, fact check, But when I was
126
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.000
there interning, I didn't see like fact checking per saying.
127
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:19.759
I had a man come on my show and he
128
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:24.559
was in journalism for decades, like in television broadcast for decades,
129
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:27.200
including I believe he was on sixty Minutes. I believe
130
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:30.480
he was working there, and I had to ask him
131
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:32.679
because that was my experience. Where was the fact checking?
132
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:34.159
He's like, what fact checking?
133
00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:36.320
And I was like, well, I wouldn't have to come out.
134
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:36.799
Of your mouth.
135
00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:40.399
And She've been in television news for decades, right, So
136
00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:46.240
he's running another broadcast. It's like a Catholic type program,
137
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:49.320
but it's news, but it's with a Catholic influence on it.
138
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:50.120
So he's doing that.
139
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:52.000
So it was interesting to have him come on and
140
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:55.120
talk about his experience because mine's been radio and then
141
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:57.320
I had a little bit with television, and he it
142
00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:00.519
was mostly him, So that was fascinating. And I love
143
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:05.639
that clip that you posted because it's exactly how across
144
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:07.919
the nation they're all getting the same script. You have
145
00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:11.120
the same wires and found out Reuters was getting money
146
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:16.919
from USA USAID and so whoever's up top funnels all
147
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:18.840
the information and this is the news of the day,
148
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:20.279
and this is what we're going to talk about, and
149
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:23.000
everyone follows suit because you they all all the news
150
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:26.919
stations get their information from the same news wires. So
151
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:30.120
you have ap Reuters or think of at the top
152
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:34.039
of my head. And so basically when you're there, what
153
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:36.799
I what I notice is that you'll have a writer.
154
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:40.759
They'll kind of like they'll see what the wire says,
155
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:43.639
and then they'll make a story regarding what the wire says.
156
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.399
And then sometimes we'll send out reporters to the local news,
157
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:49.120
but they'll like kind of rewrite what the wire says.
158
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:51.879
So basically everyone's saying the same thing. And the latest
159
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:57.519
one is a constitutional crisis. Constitutional crisis. That was the
160
00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:00.200
word of the day. You know, everyone had to say
161
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:03.360
that constitutional crisis. And you find out there was a
162
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:05.559
clip Hillary Clinton had and I tried to find it.
163
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:08.919
They deleted it, but she was freaking out about how
164
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:11.879
they're losing control over the narrative. And if you're looking
165
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:14.000
at what's going on in Germany and in the UK,
166
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:17.120
the freedom of speech is completely gone. They will arrest
167
00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:20.200
you for things that you post your opinion on social media.
168
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:24.480
And so during the Biden administration, I was feeling that too.
169
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:27.519
I was censored from YouTube, they kicked me off, Facebook
170
00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:30.039
shadow banned me, Twitter shadow banned me. I wasn't able
171
00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:32.480
to grow on any of these major platforms. So it
172
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:34.559
was like everyone was in Cahusta. We find out with
173
00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:38.360
USA AID that big tech was in it, media was
174
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:40.559
in it, the government was in it and they were
175
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:43.960
controlling the narrative, so anyone who spoke out contrary to
176
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:47.279
that was forbidden from being in the marketplace, which goes
177
00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:53.399
against the constitution. That is a constitutional crisis, absolutely. You know,
178
00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:57.080
that's the shocking thing about it, Amber is that you've
179
00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:00.759
got you know, in Germany. You know, I'm glad that
180
00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:04.240
jd Vance, you know, went over there and started speaking out.
181
00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:08.039
And President Trump is so strong about it, because that
182
00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:11.919
is crazy. I mean, I remember in California, it wasn't
183
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:12.799
that long ago.
184
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:15.840
The Gavin Newsom was like, yeah, if you've got any
185
00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:19.240
kind of you know, political satire, and you know he
186
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:21.759
didn't like it, then then you were in trouble. And
187
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:26.440
it's like, whoa, waitit a minute here, that is crazy,
188
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:27.639
crazy stuff.
189
00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:30.120
That's big next to me. And they were going to
190
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:34.240
ban free speech. It's those AI videos that were hilarious
191
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:36.360
that had to do with like hooking fund at the government,
192
00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:37.120
and they.
193
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:37.879
Wanted to ban that.
194
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:40.519
So that's a constitutional crisis. When you find that you
195
00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:43.519
don't have a free press, that's a constitutional crisis because
196
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.200
our Constitution says that you have a free press. Well,
197
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:48.639
when the media is controlled in state run and journalisms
198
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:50.679
while were taught. See I was so young, I went
199
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:53.039
into this field. I wanted to be a journalist because
200
00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:55.039
I wanted to hold the people account of the government
201
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:57.200
accountable to the people. That's all they've ever wanted to do.
202
00:12:57.559 --> 00:13:00.480
I've just had a love and for media. That's that's
203
00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:02.399
the only thing I've ever thought of doing in my life.
204
00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:03.960
That's the only thing I ever want to do. That's
205
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:05.720
the only thing that like, not the only thing that
206
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:08.440
brings joy, but work wise, Like if you're thinking about work,
207
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:11.360
that's the thing that makes me happy, like to go
208
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:13.759
and do and to find information and bring it to people.
209
00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:18.360
And so when you find out that our prepress isn't
210
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:21.480
really pre pressed, it's it's really it was heartbreaking for me.
211
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:24.080
And I didn't see it for a long time. It
212
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:26.960
was only recently when I started seeing how they were
213
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:29.919
shutting down my voice, how I couldn't have an opinion,
214
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:32.360
how I wasn't able to speak out in the public square.
215
00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:36.600
And then realizing that the media tells everybody how to
216
00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:38.679
feel and how to think. And when you look at
217
00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:41.799
let's the Gavin newsothing for instance, in the fires, you
218
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:44.519
would see the guy from seeing in what is his name?
219
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:50.440
Why Anderson Cooper, oh, you know, pushed back against Gavin Newsome.
220
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:55.120
But the second someone was going against the narrative of saying, hey,
221
00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:58.279
it's the California government's fault that there is a there's
222
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:00.600
a fire going on because they didn't take care. They're
223
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:03.480
there for us, they didn't provide water. There was no
224
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:06.759
water for the firefighters. They're dumping all their water into
225
00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:10.159
the ocean. And then they're telling people for environmental sake, hey,
226
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:13.919
you got to mitigate your water, while for environmental sake
227
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:16.399
they're dumping water. So it didn't make sense. So anyone
228
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:20.240
who was pushing back the media was hardcore angry against them.
229
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:23.799
But then when Kevin Newsom was speaking, it was softball questions.
230
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:26.919
They were going along with it. And so you notice
231
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:30.720
if people with the media when they interview Jade Vance
232
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:34.600
or Donald Trump, they're very angry and mean when they
233
00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:37.039
talk to him, but then someone on the other side
234
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:40.480
of the aisle softball questions, very nice. They get along
235
00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:42.440
with each other. You can see if you would just
236
00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:45.159
if you just for a minute, take a step back
237
00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:48.639
and just just look and listen with your eyes and
238
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:52.879
ears without any of these lenses that we put ourselves
239
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:55.720
on and just watch what they say, who they say
240
00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:58.200
it to. You're gonna see it. But it's hard because
241
00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:00.440
we've been so programmed for so long long to say
242
00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:03.639
things one way that it's hard to see the reality.
243
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:06.240
But if you just just listen and watch, you could
