The State of Media and Truth 0:22 Welcome to Grace Grace with Naina Michelle. I'm Michelle Humphreys.0:25 And I am Naina Keegan. We are broadcasting live at NRV, the largest gathering of Christian communicators in the world, and we have some awesome wonderful guests that we are privileged to have on our0:37 program today.0:38 I will do the0:39 awesome introduction.0:39 I will do the awesome introduction. Second to none, amazing. He was the moderator of CNN's Inside Politics after covering the White House for0:51 CNN since March 2006. Henry became CNN's senior White House correspondent in December 2008. And starting in 20 22, Henry is cohost with Karen1:03 Turk on The Real America's Voice TV's weekday morning show. And, personally, this guest, I I learned so much when I listened to him. He is the1:15 inside voice on the news, mister Ed Henry.1:19 So nice to see both of you. Very friendly faces and positive as I saw you in the hallways here at NRB, so it's nice to be on with you.1:27 We are grateful. So Yes. Henry, we wanna know stuff. What do you got? We do that1:32 Well, Grace. Can I call you Grace? Yes. So I see the show is called Grace Grace. I thought I had 2 people named Grace. But, Nina, go ahead.1:39 We already had the joke that we were gonna1:41 do that.1:41 Oh. So so I wanna know we wanna know what is happening with the news Yeah. And why are things getting shut down and and censored.1:52 You know, look. Donald Trump called it out. Right? He called it fake news, and people on the left, people in the mainstream media freaked out. I will admit, as someone who is in the mainstream media for many years, even2:02 though I know Donald Trump well and covered him closely and, you know, and had good private relations with him as as somebody I know, and now I'm based in West Palm Beach, Florida. So I see him a lot. I cringed a little2:13 bit as a long time mainstream media person back in 20 16 saying, is this really what you wanna do? But over time, I've come to see the wisdom of what Donald Trump was saying. People in the media lie. I think Roger2:25 Ailes, when I was at Fox News, he called that out way before many other people. They push narratives. Think about COVID. Think about the vaccines. Think about the Russia collusion lies targeting2:37 Donald Trump that we now know. And the border, how they've told us for so long there's not a crisis. How the Democrats I covered many of their news conferences when I was covering the White House or the Congress. Before2:48 that, Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton as senators, used to say we need a wall. Imagine that. Then Donald Trump was for it, and it's racist. When they were for it, it was a smart idea. And so, the Russia3:00 collusion thing real quick, I covered a lot of that. I was covering the Trump White House some when he was there. And his administration was, you know, being hindered, and their efforts, their power was3:12 curtailed by all these investigations that we now know were lies based on lies.3:16 Right. Right.3:16 And so my point is what's happening with the news, it's finally catching up to them, I think. And so my point about myself is when I was inside the mainstream media, I kinda cringed it first. Oh, do we really wanna call3:27 it fake news? And I don't believe everyone is fake news, to be clear. But I think there is a lot of fake news. And now with Real America's Voice that, like, a lot of your streaming outlets as well, whether we're on Roku3:38 and Apple TV, our own app, you can download it, Real America's Voice. We don't have those kinds of restrictions. I'm not saying we're perfect. I'm not saying all we say is the truth. Nobody's perfect. That's part of the3:48 problem is people in the mainstream media act like they're perfect, act like what they have to say is the gospel. It's far from it. And many times they twist the facts, they push a narrative, and they lie. So you know3:59 what? Fake news probably does apply. Donald Trump was right.4:02 Exactly. What what I personally wanna know, and I'm always asking, like, you are a true investigative journalist.4:09 Thank you.4:10 You dig and drill down, and you get the story. Yeah. Where are the other investigative journalists?4:16 There are not4:17 a lot left. Seriously?4:18 Yeah. I've always tried to not be opinion first, pundit first. I think we have too many people already giving their opinions. I wanna try to bring some facts to the table. Look. Doctor Naomi Wolf is on our show every4:29 Thursday on Real America's Voice. She's a journalist in part and part a commentator. But she's damn smart and was and I think courage is what she brings to it as well. Too many people in Washington, too4:41 many people in journalism in New York, all these big cities, wanna be liked, wanna be part of the crowd. And if you step out and challenge the official government narrative on things like the vaccine, you might get4:53 canceled. You get laughed at. You get mocked. And doctor Wolfe is somebody who I'd highlight who has spoken truth to power in raising questions. You don't always have all the answers. Like I said, we're not perfect,5:04 but at least have the guts to raise some tough questions. Right. When trouble was in office, they're pounding the man every day with some lies, some facts, and a whole lot of questions because they wanted to hound him.5:15 Now Biden's there. The man doesn't have a news conference for months on end. Everybody looks the other way because we know he can't answer the questions. He's not even all there.5:24 Ice creams. You know? That's, like,5:25 the big picture. 2 scoops today. I mean Big news.5:28 But, you know, at a certain point, you know, the media is helping create the world that they're gonna live in. Their kids, their grandkids are going to live in5:40 this this evil that they're creating.5:42 It's evil they've created, and they live in a bubble where they don't feel necessarily because they're inflated salaries and other things. The Bidenflation that I was talking to some of my colleagues here, and they were5:52 like, I can't believe I paid 5 dollars for a bottle of water in Orlando. And, again, we're based in West Palm Beach, so, there are parts to that that are more middle class, and parts to that on the Palm Beach Island side6:03 that are quite rich. And so 5 dollars for a bottle of water in Palm Beach, you might well, that's just standard. There's all these rich people there. Right? In Orlando, where where families are going to Disney World, my6:13 colleague was pointing out, I thought it would be it wouldn't be 5 dollars. And I said, you know what? I think, honestly, we get out in the country like you both do, and we see what real Americans are paying. This is6:24 Biden inflation. Imagine I'm sure you've seen in the hotel. There's a lot of people here, at the Marriott for the religious broadcasters convention that we're at, and then a lot of 4, 5 people in a6:36 family going to Disney World. Right? Oh, yeah. How how do they afford the tickets, the food, the airline? I remember my parents taking me. It was a big adventure when I was a kid. Yeah. Whether you're going to Orlando or6:47 Anaheim, Disney's gone woke. So I I don't know that we wanna spend our money there anymore.6:52 Right.6:52 But there's a lot of families who I don't begrudge them if if freedom, you know, of choice and and and speech in terms of if you wanna bring your family somewhere, I'm not gonna tell you. I'm very libertarian, but I7:03 think they have a woke agenda that we should expose. They do. But how does that family of 4, how does that family of 5 a poor a vacation, whether it's Disney World or the Grand Canyon? It's crazy right now. Well, it is.7:14 Those reporters don't pay they don't realize that 5 dollar bottle. They look the other way that Biden's inflation Biden was, the inflation was down here when Trump was in office. Exactly. Now it's up here. Families7:24 didn't work. Kept saying it's transitory. Yeah. He lied. He kept saying that I inherited this from Trump. That was a lie too.7:31 Right. Except orders closed and all the you know, every every single thing. And, you know, if you wanna know what the truth is, see who's getting shut down Yeah. And see what's happening. And I know even our own ministry7:43 gets shut down a lot. They say that, you know, it's hate speech. It's it's blasphemous. It goes against7:47 And it's straight out of the bible. Right.7:49 He quotes from the Bible, and it's hate speech. Interesting.7:52 And it's about love.Economic Concerns and Political Accountability 7:53 And you've seen Target? What's going on there? It's not just the the tucked bathing suit thing that there's a crisis. They've got this satanic clothing.8:01 Yes.8:02 You saw this? Yes. That they're gonna put in pride month. Yes. Why is it inspired by Satan? I think we know.8:07 Well, and here and why is that easy to believe in? Yeah. It's a it's a supernatural being just like Jesus. Why are you why is that okay? Yep. And it's just you you have to wonder about all of this, but it is8:19 not you know, right now we're in such a divide that it is really good versus evil. It isn't right left. It isn't, you know, democratic justice.8:27 It is a battle between good and evil. You're right.8:29 You're seeing that evil just try to swoop in, and and it is terrifying. And so how, like, you know, we all know kind of the issues that have happened at Washington. So how8:42 are we going to find like, people need to we need to talk about how they're gonna find you and where all the things that you're on. But how are we going to make sure that we have platforms that are not gonna get canceled8:54 and shut down and and aren't gonna get forced on the air and all of these?8:58 There's no easy answer, but I think streaming gives us a shot because it's sort of small d democratizing it and flattening the media power. You go back to before I was in there, before you guys were involved in media, it9:10 was 3 big networks, ABC, CBS, NBC. And then CNN flattened it a little bit, was a little down the middle at the beginning, moved left further and further over the years. And in the Trump years, you couldn't recognize the9:21 old CNN. They're now trying to move a little bit back towards the middle Right. A little bit of sanity. I'm not saying they're perfect either. I'm not saying I'm buying that they're normal now.9:30 Trump's town hall is9:30 a great example. The best ratings they've had in9:34 years. Exactly.9:34 Why is that? Well, they actually listened to the man, and they actually listened to the people who were there. And then, of course, they got criticism from the left, so they ran. Of course. Yeah. They had to run out of9:42 there. So, where's it going? What do we do? Well, Real America's Voice is 1 of those streaming platforms where we try to be fearless about this. And, with the Internet, you know, you can stream it out there. The9:53 government still is gonna find a way eventually to block what they wanna block. We've seen it on YouTube and other platform. But I think Real America's Voice, I think Rumble, I think Frank's speech. I I respect10:01 everything that Mike Lindell has been doing. Yes. He's he's pouring his own hard earned money into this. He puts his money where his mouth is. Right? And so when you wanna talk about frank speech, free speech, it's 110:12 thing to talk about. It's another thing to actually back it up, fight, like I said, not just us, like doctor Wolf and others. She's been threatened. She's had to find ways to publish books around the normal someone like10:23 Simon and Schuster. Right. Normally, would give someone who's got the sensational Pfizer documents exposing corruption that Simon and Schuster would give you a 5000000 dollar book advance if you were on 60 minutes or10:34 something. Right. But if you're doctor Wolfe and you're challenging the pharmaceutical industries that fund a lot of these TV news networks, you're persona non grata. Exactly. So we gotta fight back. How do we do it? It10:45 it's not easy. There's no there's no obvious plan. You just fight every day and try to tell the truth.10:50 Right. Well, Americans are so worried10:53 about the economy right now.10:53 What are your thoughts on the economy right now. What are your thoughts on the debt ceiling crisis?10:58 I think a lot of it has been manufactured by the White House. The Democrats wanna say, oh, these mean Republicans wanna cut spending, and wanna delay us borrowing more money, lifting the ceiling to borrow more money. And11:10 it's that's why I think Republicans call it a manufactured crisis, and they're right. Because we're not gonna default. It's just a threat to kind of make the Republicans cower and not demand more spending cuts.11:21 And frankly, over the years, too many Republicans have cowered, whether they be rhinos or others, and have not demanded spending cuts. In the Trump years as well, I'll be honest. There was a lot of spending under Trump11:32 as well. Not as bad as Biden, but I think Republicans over the years I remember covering George w Bush's White House, prescription drug plans and other things, billions and billions of dollars of our tax money that11:44 there's no plan to actually cover. You know, how do you how do you pay for it except raise taxes raise taxes? And and we're on a prescription for disaster when you've got over 33000000000000 dollars in debt.11:56 And and so I think Kevin McCarthy came to power as speaker, like, kinda limping in with, whatever, 15 ballots or whatever to come speaker, And he wins by a razor's edge,12:08 and he's being led around by Matt Gaetz and others. But he's delivered on something, not everything. Yes. Yes.12:14 They did. They did.12:15 They did. And that worked.12:16 Yes. Yeah.12:17 And the investigations that he said he would do, like with James Comer, we could talk about the Biden family corruption. They're developing a lot of information there that we should talk about. Number 2, on the debt12:26 ceiling, Biden would negotiate with him for a long time. Biden kept saying he wouldn't put spending cuts on the table. McCarthy said, I've got you'll never pass this in the house. The White House said, they12:38 gosh darn it. They brought in the house Republicans. They passed a plan to lift the debt ceiling as the Democrats in the White House want, but with spending cuts in there. And what what's the reaction from the White12:49 House? The Democrats? Oh, they're a bunch of terrorists trying to hold things up. It's all name calling. Yeah. And you do that kind of name calling when you can't win on the facts. Right?12:58 It's never about calling. So they don't have it's all about against Trump, against Republicans. It's never about what they're going to do for America. Yeah. And and it's and but do you think, you know, that a lot of this13:10 is deliberate? And, you know, for this this, you know, 1 word order agenda, let's just go there. Let's just talk about all of this because what is really happening with all of this? Why would they why and and I13:21 wanna know some things about why what is your thoughts on these hundreds of food processing plants that that are just randomly blowing up. And no one's talking about this.Show more In this video 0:22 The State of Media and Truth7:53 Economic Concerns and Political Accountability13:28 Media's Role in Shaping Society25:16 Faith, Courage, and the Future
