Boss mr potato head didn’t know what was coming take a look you’re unneeded hey jeff zucker are you there hey this is james o’keefe we’ve been listening to your cnn calls for basically two months recording everything just wanted to ask you some questions if you have a minute
Um do you still feel you’re the most trusted name and news because i have to say from what i’ve been hearing on these phone calls i don’t know about that we’ve got a lot of recordings that indicate you’re not really that independent of a journalist okay um thank you for uh
Thank you for uh your comments um so everybody in light of that i think what we’ll do is we’ll we’ll set up a new system project veritas tonight released the first installment of these recordings first up we have a cnn field producer in zucker talking about covering the president’s decision to not
Yet concede the race suggesting cnn should frame the story by invoking the 9 11 terror attacks uh we always let you decide here’s the video the 9 11 report talks about one of the problems was that this the trouble that was brewing got lost during the transition so if you want a good
Concrete example of what happens when you don’t have a good transition but look at the twin towers yeah so i think that’s an important point i think it was just a little bit yesterday in terms of national security i think it’s really important to raise again
Now do you ever remember fake news cnn talking about the national security implications of the obama administration you know the deep state using hillary’s dirty russian misinformation dossier to spy on candidate trump president trump his administration the biggest abuse of power corruption scandal in history no they’re the ones that peddled the
Conspiracy theories the russian disinformation dossier perpetuating years and years of a russia hoax uh what about those national security concerns they are glaring in their bias and their utter disgusting hypocrisy couldn’t be more obvious and it gets worse because next up october president trump recovering from the coronavirus zucker’s
Now telling his staff they need to resist normalizing the president and to not normalize what sucker calls desperate behavior does this sound like objective news to you i think we we cannot normalize what has happened here in the last week with trump and his behavior head this is
A president who knows he’s losing he knows he’s in trouble uh is sick maybe he is uh on on the after effects of steroids or not i don’t know but he is acting erratically and desperately and we we need to uh uh we need to we need to not normalize that
And joe hiding that was normal lastly weeks ago zucker instructing his staff to target senator lindsey graham saying the network needed a quote go well after lindsey graham target the guys we don’t like take a look frankly if we’ve made any mistakes that our banners have been too
Uh polite and and we need to go well after lindsey graham there is a lot of news out there and lindsey graham really deserves it cnn responded claiming that o’keefe may have committed a felony but didn’t offer any specifics or cite any laws allegedly violated here now he’s the ceo
He is the founder project veritas james o’keefe is with us all right every time you’ve been sued has anyone done so successfully no sean we’ve won every single lawsuit at project veritas and i know they said quote this is cnn communications legal experts say this may be a felony
Uh we have legal experts at project veritas and we think jeff zucker is just very mad and embarrassed here uh for what we have exposed now you’re gonna be on this program all week and we’re gonna release more tapes every week so we can focus in on what you’re
Going to release every day now they peddled this russia live for three years over there they never apologized they never corrected the record and they reported fake phony news and advanced conspiracy theories they have stalkers of the fox news channel uh and we’re getting lectured by them is this a news organization you
No sean this is this is uh something that doesn’t shock people but confirms a lot of suspicions to see the president of a media conglomerate barking orders at his reporters and journalists telling them what to cover what not to cover that’s not anything resembling journalism i know i run an organization
With a few dozen reporters they come to me with facts uh they’re not i’m not they’re not yesing me in fact they’re challenging me and what what jeff zucker is doing on these phone calls is telling people what the story is telling them what not to cover
This is this is propaganda and i think in a country where citizens have to exercise their rights and duties the consent needs to be informed this is manufacturing consent and we’ve never actually seen it fly in the wall you can actually hear the president of the company instruct his vice presidents instruct
His reporters what the narrative ought to be this is the farthest thing from journalism that i know and i think that cnn owes an apology to the people i mean this is this is disgraceful and this is the first time we’ve gotten any kind of donations actually everything
Biden it looks like they they had picked a side they picked joe biden’s side uh all right you the way you do things you have a lot more coming how long did you record these morning calls i told zucker this morning when i when i uh live streamed the call i said i’ve
Been doing this for two months and he was kind of shell-shocked by that we’ve been recording for weeks and weeks sean it’s christmas december 1st it’s going to be like i guess an advent calendar we’re going to be releasing tapes every day and we have more tapes tonight tomorrow
And it’s going to be you know this is the brave whistleblower insider who came to us with this information sean we encourage more people inside media enterprises to blow the whistle on the corruption inside big media all right we look forward to installment two tomorrow thank you james o’keefe well
