1. 0:00And we cannot conduct covert operations
2. 0:02if a committee puts out a report which
3. 0:04refers to an activity which leaves out
4. 0:06the name of a country or individual
5. 0:07concerned but gives enough evidence for
6. 0:10any amateur sleuth to identify it beyond
7. 0:13a shadow of a doubt in times for its
8. 0:15identification to be carried with the
9. 0:17news stories of the report itself.
10. 0:19>> That is the but you believe you're
11. 0:21consistent with the statutes but there
12. 0:22isn't any statute that prohibits your
13. 0:25interception of domestic communications.
14. 0:26>> I believe that's correct.
15. 0:30What's up, guys? Spenny. One of the
16. 0:31things that make my skin crawl every
17. 0:33couple of months is a new compilation of
18. 0:36news anchors using the exact same
19. 0:38terminology, saying the exact same
20. 0:40script about the exact same thing. You
21. 0:43can put compilations together like this
22. 0:44and it really creeps you out.
23. 0:46>> Russian collusion.
24. 0:47>> Trump Russian sort of collusion.
25. 0:48>> Trump Russian possible collusion. Trump

42. 1:20Russia. Possible collusion. Prove
43. 1:22collusion.
44. 1:23>> Prove collusion.
45. 1:25>> Look at them clapping. It's like they've
46. 1:27been trained.
47. 1:28>> Absolutely.
48. 1:29>> Ladies and gentlemen, uh the reason why
49. 1:31it's so creepy to me is because now
50. 1:35we're learning that Operation
51. 1:38Mockingbird, which is of course the old
52. 1:42CIA plot to control all of American
53. 1:45media is actually alive and well based
54. 1:48on an interview that we just wrapped
55. 1:49with Tulsi Gabbard. Now, we've had
56. 1:51little sprinklings of this here and
57. 1:53there. For instance, James O'Keefe
58. 1:54caught in a CIA officer undercover
59. 1:57talking about how they're going to put
60. 1:59Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones out of
61. 2:01jail because they refuse to repeat the
62. 2:04established talking points. And we have
63. 2:06Tucker Carlson many times over
64. 2:09explaining that he's been pressured to
65. 2:11repeat the established talking points.
66. 2:13What is this? Well, it's part of
67. 2:15Operation Mockingbird. This is a
68. 2:17operation that's well documented here.
69. 2:19You hear the CIA, for instance, reading
70. 2:22room,
71. 2:23hundreds of pages of the CIA pressuring
72. 2:28or forcing reporters to write specific
73. 2:32narratives. In some instances, according
74. 2:35to these documents that are publicly
75. 2:36available, imagine what's not publicly
76. 2:38available. The CIA placed their own
77. 2:41agents as reporters
78. 2:44inside of newsrooms
79. 2:46in order to literally be CIA vehicles
80. 2:49and assets
81. 2:52for what Americans are thinking. CIA's
82. 2:53Operation Mockingbird was a supposed
83. 2:55clandestine operation meant to
84. 2:56manipulate the American media. Some
85. 2:58believe it's still active today.
86. 3:01Let's read.
87. 3:03Uh, in 1977, journalist Carl Bernstein
88. 3:05published an article in the Rolling
89. 3:06Stone serious allegation that hundreds
90. 3:08of American journalists worked for the
91. 3:11intelligence agency, the CIA.
92. 3:14The operation uh for decades involved
93. 3:17some of the most prominent news
94. 3:18organizations in the world, including
95. 3:19the New York Times, CBS, Time,
96. 3:23and so on. Bernstein's reporting mostly
97. 3:25focused on journalists who worked
98. 3:27abroad, but ominous rumors soon emerged
99. 3:29that the CIA was a using reporters to
100. 3:31spread propaganda across America, which
101. 3:32is of course against the CIA's founding
102. 3:34charter. They're not allowed to run
103. 3:37operations domestically. They have to be
104. 3:38clandestine.
105. 3:40Of course, that's not true. They are you
106. 3:44using these reporters to manipulate
107. 3:46public opinion at home. The program had
108. 3:49a name, Operation Mockingbird.
109. 3:52And what we found out is that Operation
110. 3:54Mockingbird was absolutely real
111. 3:58and that they had reporters in the
112. 4:00biggest newsrooms in all of America.
113. 4:01Reporters, they had CIA intelligence
114. 4:03officers, assets, CIA agents just
115. 4:06working hand and glove inside of
116. 4:08newsrooms writing articles, producing
117. 4:10the news.
118. 4:13Operation Mockingbird
119. 4:17uh uh in the New York Times first
120. 4:19published the article closer than
121. 4:21expected relationship between the CIA
122. 4:23and the press. CIA director shared some
123. 4:26details of the practice with reporters
124. 4:28uh and finally had to fess up to
125. 4:30congressional investigators
126. 4:33for decades. For decades since World War
127. 4:37II, when journalists came in close
128. 4:39contact with CIA officers, obviously in
129. 4:41uh the war zones, members of the Office
130. 4:44of Strategic Services, which is the
131. 4:46predecessor of the CIA,
132. 4:48would often bump the reporters and get
133. 4:50them to write what they wanted. In the
134. 4:531950s and60s, early part of the Cold
135. 4:55War, the program uh was ramped up
136. 4:57heavily. We had journalists all over
137. 4:59Berlin and Vienna uh to help us keep
138. 5:02track of what was coming and what was
139. 5:04happening.
140. 5:05we were just running journalists. The
141. 5:07program expanded and expanded and
142. 5:09expanded and as it goes, ladies and
143. 5:11gentlemen, eventually you just ended up
144. 5:12having journalists inside of the biggest
145. 5:14news organizations in America being
146. 5:16bankrolled by the CIA. They have it all
147. 5:20dead to rights. This was all exposed in
148. 5:22the late '7s.
149. 5:24Bernstein wrote that the program
150. 5:25composed of accredited staff members of
151. 5:26news organizations, freelancers,
152. 5:28editors, publishers, columnists,
153. 5:29commentators who work for organizations
154. 5:30like the New York Times, CBS, Time
155. 5:32magazine, and Newsweek, CIA bankrolled
156. 5:36foreign press services to provide cover
157. 5:37for operatives. Oo, baby.
158. 5:42This is this is wild. After the
159. 5:44publication, CIA officials told the New
160. 5:45York Times that the number of
161. 5:46journalists on the CIA's payroll was
162. 5:49around 100.
163. 5:51Okay, so a hundred different journalists
164. 5:54are being paid directly by the CIA. Look
165. 5:57at this. This is crazy, man. This is
166. 6:01wild.
167. 6:02Nobody's ever asked the CIA about this
168. 6:05in modern times. Is it still going on?
169. 6:08Apparently, they stopped it. We asked We
170. 6:11asked Tulsi Gabbard yesterday. It went
171. 6:12uh thermonuclear virals been seen by
172. 6:15millions of people, shared by tens of
173. 6:18thousands. Pulsey Gabbard confirming
174. 6:19that Operation Mockingbird is still
175. 6:21ongoing. What she told me was that yes,
176. 6:24this is still happening and that we are
177. 6:29fighting to this day intel operatives
178. 6:32that are running
179. 6:34disinformation campaigns through the
180. 6:35corporate press.
181. 6:37Ladies and gentlemen, here's my question
182. 6:38to Tulsi. The media being used as a
183. 6:41propaganda mechanism. We saw it flatly.
184. 6:44I mean it I think it's the smoking gun
185. 6:46quite frankly of the Obamagate narrative
186. 6:49and the Russia gate narrative that it
187. 6:50was so baked in that the New York Times
188. 6:51and Washington Post went and ran with
189. 6:53it. Some would say that that's part of
190. 6:54Operation Mockingbird. Some would say
191. 6:56that that's part of what we learned in
192. 6:58the Church Committee that the intel
193. 7:00agencies were using media outlets as
194. 7:03their mouthpieces and that those
195. 7:05mouthpieces uh would parrot the official
196. 7:07narrative. And I wanted to ask you uh is
197. 7:10this operation still going on? Are you
198. 7:13aware of the intel agencies working
199. 7:16directly with media outlets in order to
200. 7:18push uh prescribed narratives that may
201. 7:22or may not be true? It's it's something
202. 7:24that we've already had to deal with,
203. 7:26Benny, within this administration where
204. 7:28there are people within the intelligence
205. 7:30community who believe that their will is
206. 7:33more important than the will of the
207. 7:35American people uh and will weaponize
208. 7:38intelligence by leaking it to their
209. 7:41friends within the mainstream media with
210. 7:43the intent of undermining President
211. 7:45Trump's agenda. It is not one that uh uh
212. 7:49he hasn't already talked about in every
213. 7:52rally and town hall that he did
214. 7:54throughout the campaign. I don't even
215. 7:56know how many there were. But President
216. 7:59Trump is enacting the very thing he
217. 8:01promised the American people he would do
218. 8:03in this election. So people in the
219. 8:05intelligence community, they may agree,
220. 8:07they may disagree. That's not uh that's
221. 8:11not the point here. as intelligence
222. 8:13professionals uh as people who work in
223. 8:16the national security space uh in the
224. 8:18intelligence community, they are
225. 8:20required to fulfill their mandate to
226. 8:23their oath to the Constitution of the
227. 8:25United States uh and to the president of
228. 8:28the United States who is duly elected by
229. 8:30the American people. uh those who leak
230. 8:33intelligence to their friends in the
231. 8:35mainstream media with the intent of
232. 8:37undermining the president who was
233. 8:38elected by the American people. None of
234. 8:41these intelligence professionals were
235. 8:43they are subverting the will of the
236. 8:45people and therefore undermining the
237. 8:47constitution.
238. 8:49>> It's wild that you're still having to
239. 8:51deal with that. Call it what you will,
240. 8:53but Operation Mockingbird, just
241. 8:55incredible that they they were just out
242. 8:56with it that they were using the media
243. 8:59as government organs to push propaganda
244. 9:01and it's still still happening today.
245. 9:04This is why what we're doing is so
246. 9:06important, Benny, and this is why
247. 9:07President Trump's uh mandate in this is
248. 9:10is really critical is uh by exposing the
249. 9:14truth, by exposing the bad actors uh
250. 9:18within the intelligence community and in
251. 9:20the political space who are weaponizing
252. 9:22intelligence to advance their own
253. 9:24political interests is so important. uh
254. 9:27to be able to turn the light on in
255. 9:28places that have been dark for far too
256. 9:30long, expose the truth and drive
257. 9:33accountability. That's the only way that
258. 9:35we can actually shift this uh and begin
259. 9:37the work to try to restore trust uh in
260. 9:40the intelligence community.
261. 9:42>> This made some uh major news. We're
262. 9:45proud to have asked. If you look at some
263. 9:47of the things that John Brennan had been
264. 9:49saying, he was going on talking about
265. 9:51how he needs to we need to reestablish
266. 9:54the control of the media because the
267. 9:56narrative is getting out of control here
268. 9:57with Russia gate. Probably the best
269. 9:59person to comment on this uh in my
270. 10:02lifetime has been Tucker Carlson who
271. 10:04when he was speaking with Adam Corolla
272. 10:06just directly called out operation
273. 10:08mockingb bird payroll ease on the CNN
274. 10:12payroll. I know that he's talking about
275. 10:14Natasha Bertrand here. She's the one who
276. 10:17uh writes the Hunter Biden laptop
277. 10:18stories and leaks, the intel about the
278. 10:21bombing in Iran and so on and so forth.
279. 10:24Uh this is what's going on. It's still
280. 10:26actively going on at CNN. Tucker Carlson
281. 10:29blowing it wide open. And he's been
282. 10:31doing just the absolute best work on
283. 10:33this. The rewriting of Watergate scandal
284. 10:35for instance, understanding that the
285. 10:37people who broke the Watergate story,
286. 10:39they're not they're not journalists at
287. 10:40all. They were operatives from inside of
288. 10:43the int like the Woodward and Bernstein.
289. 10:46Like Bob Woodward was a Navy intel
290. 10:50officer. He was recruited by the CIA. He
291. 10:52wasn't a reporter. He was he was there
292. 10:55to take down an administration. Sound
293. 10:56familiar? Here's Tucker Carlson wrapping
294. 10:59it all up better than I could. But we're
295. 11:01proud to contribute to all of this. Um
296. 11:03and thank you Tulsi for being so honest
297. 11:05with us.
298. 11:06>> What's your take on a a Wolf Blitzer
299. 11:08type? Because
300. 11:12Whenever I
301. 11:13>> just,
302. 11:15you know, take a close look at his
303. 11:17history.
304. 11:18>> Actually,
305. 11:18>> I'm always like, why would he do this?
306. 11:21Why would he say a bunch of stuff he
307. 11:22doesn't believe or he must know is
308. 11:24untrue? Like, what? He sat there as this
309. 11:28sort of elder statesman of news and just
310. 11:32sort of lied right through through COVID
311. 11:34and and many other subjects. Why would
312. 11:36he do that? Why would he do it to his
313. 11:38legacy?
314. 11:40Um, you know, I worked with Wolf for
315. 11:42years. Never had a problem with him. Um,
316. 11:45it was always nice. Uh,
317. 11:49you know, that no one wants to hear it.
318. 11:51I'm sure most people won't believe it,
319. 11:52but I can tell you, having lived it for
320. 11:54many years, it's true. Uh, the intel
321. 11:56agencies have a big effect on what is
322. 11:58broadcast on television and what you see
323. 12:00on Facebook and Google as well. I mean,
324. 12:02they're all up and down Facebook and
325. 12:04Google, as I'm sure you know. And um you
326. 12:08know there are a lot of anchors who
327. 12:10including
328. 12:12people I know well and have worked with
329. 12:14at different networks. I'm thinking of
330. 12:16one in particular national security
331. 12:18reporter who was just a mouthpiece for
332. 12:20the Pentagon and the CIA and is
333. 12:23knowingly telling lies on their behalf.
334. 12:25That's very very common. Very common.
335. 12:27And I can think of a number of people at
336. 12:28CNN who I know for a fact are doing that
337. 12:30exact thing. And so I mean they're
338. 12:34reading government propaganda from the
339. 12:36intel agencies knowingly and I'm sure
340. 12:38they've got some internal rationale that
341. 12:40allows them to get up in the morning and
342. 12:42face themselves despite having done
343. 12:43something that dishonest. But I'm just
344. 12:45telling you bottom line I know that is a
345. 12:47that is true. I'm not speculating at
346. 12:49all. Um, and in particular on the
347. 12:52national security stuff, there are very
348. 12:55well-known national security reporters,
349. 12:57and I'm thinking of one female national
350. 12:59security reporter in particular, who
351. 13:02just reads lies from the national
352. 13:06security state. And it's wildly
353. 13:09frustrating and it would just make me
354. 13:11mad. I mean, even if I don't agree with
355. 13:12the lies, okay, but even if I did agree
356. 13:14with the lies, I would be offended
357. 13:16because they're lies. They're lies. Like
358. 13:19when the you know when CIA and the
359. 13:21Pentagon were claiming that Bashar
360. 13:23al-Assad used poison gas against his own
361. 13:26people. Okay, there was there was no
362. 13:28evidence that was true. I mean maybe it
363. 13:30was true. There was no evidence it was
364. 13:32true. None. Zero. And I called them out
365. 13:35and they could not provide any evidence.
366. 13:37And yet every national security and it
367. 13:39was a big deal. I mean we killed a lot
368. 13:40of people in response. We sent in
369. 13:42missiles and killed a lot of people. We
370. 13:44took human life in response to that
371. 13:46claim. And it was, as far as I can tell,
372. 13:49a lie. And every national security
373. 13:52reporter, every channel repeated it
374. 13:54uncritically. The B administration blew
375. 13:56up Nordstream and, you know, created the
376. 13:59largest act of industrial sabotage in
377. 14:01history, the largest man-made CO2
378. 14:03emission in history in environmental
379. 14:05crime. This is a huge deal this
380. 14:06happened. And every national security
381. 14:08reporter just looked right into the
382. 14:09camera and said, "Well, we think Russia
383. 14:10did it." Well, they knew Russia didn't
384. 14:11do it. That's a lie. And they knew it
385. 14:12was a lie. So, I I just think, and
386. 14:15again, I'm not speculating. I spent my
387. 14:17life in this business, so I've seen it.
388. 14:19People underestimate the degree to which
389. 14:21the people sitting on the news, possibly
390. 14:23even Wolf Blitzer, are are repeating
391. 14:28talking points from the intel agencies
392. 14:30and doing it on purpose. It's scary,
393. 14:32man. Really scary.
394. 14:36[Music]
