DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin appears on CNN to reject the false premise established by Narrative Engineer Jake Tapper. Unfortunately for the constantly furrowed brow host, the facts of the events do not align with the attempted narrative. The result ends with a conversation about the delicate sensibilities of the illegal alien with a long felony record.
This one is worth watching. Good job by Secretary Mullin:

Has the main stream news always been a non-stop propaganda stream, or was I just clueless when I was younger?
You simply had not yet developed the discernment that comes with life experience!
We all were told they where honest.
Often during my difficult years in French Class my teacher would interrupt: “You were wrong.”
That slap down paled against his more frustrated challenge “Etes vous bete ?”
You were clueless. I’m over 70 YO, and it’s been going on my ENTIRE life.
I suspected as much.
Over 80. To my personal knowledge they have been nothing but propaganda cesspools for close to 100 years. Since they now are owned by big investment groups it has on steroids. If, you removed Big Pharma revenue and election year revenue they couldn’t survive.
And I resent Rs having to raise funds to spend on the eneMEdia.
I’m 80, and folks my age remember the 1960 Presidential race, where Mayor Daley of Chicago told the Kennedy campaign, “You need votes? No problem…”
Margin of victory for JFK: 100,000 plus/minus…
Yes, he won by fraud!
Certainly since Walter Cronkite and definitely since Rather, Brokaw and Jennings.
Crankcase
Even when I was a little kid I remember thinking and saying out loud, “That sounds like a lie, why are they even telling us that – it makes no sense ?!?” and asking my parents if it was really true.
Same thing while reading newspaper articles, which I was reading even before I started grade school.
None of it ever rang true, none of it. Ever.
One of the worst times was listening to Walter Cronkite talk about President Kennedy’s death in that fake-serious voice, the kind of voice where parents talk about Santa Claus watching every move everyone makes . . . and I remember from back then wondering why Santa Claws was watching people poop.

See ‘Operation Mockingbird’ Allen Dulles 1950. As revealed by the Church Committee hearings of 1975. I recommend reading the (publicly available) transcript. It has always been ‘fake’ or some variation of what ‘they’ wish you yo believe.
It was harder to tell then. Today we have SD and hundreds of non-MSM/lying outlets that get the truth out.
Yes. Not as blatant or hateful.
But watch out for the controlled opposition !
FOX is the most popular “conservative Media” and yet they steer more and more left if you pay attention.
They give much more time to lefty interviews than they should…
They ignore stories we all discover through SD and other sources.
With a few exceptions, the big popular time slots present worthless stories.
Just wider audiences today, but pretty much the same. Captured in two books I can think of: Day of the Jackals – Hollywood fiction about gossip columnists can make or break you nd then move on. And non-fiction David Halbertam’s Power that Be – the days of yellow journalism meets the Big Three Media giant before WWII.
Many of us were clueless. I left Fox decades ago. But I did not see the strings until the Treehouse. Once you see them you cannot unsee them.
It was my Dad who gave me a clue about media bias when I was a lad, but it was the great El Rushbo who ‘splained it in a way I could easily grasp.
Ditto
I enjoyed Rush for a decade.
My father , on the other hand, kept reading the New York Times religiously.
And in a “nutshell” that is the entire point: Once you see the fraudulant propaganda you cannot unsee it anymore. And it’s everywhere.
Yet the problem remains (and the propagandists know it) that SO MANY consciously remain BLIND for whatever reason(s). Thus, the old adage continues to ring true: “There are none so blind as those who refuse to see!”
So the filthy lies keep flowing and the false “truth” agendas keep getting sucked up by the ignorant, shaping a false reality. On and on it goes…
“It is easier to fool people than convince them they have been fooled”. Mark Twain
Answers:
Yes, and
Not just you but most of us were naive (some may have been clueless) when younger.
The problem is that far too many of today’s adults never developed good critical thinking skills and the ability to discern BS from truth. Why? Because public schools deliberately removed that goal of teaching from curriculums in the later 20th century as globalist influence & thinking took over the prominent sectors of our culture.
It wasn’t so IN YO FACE then as it is now. There used to be news reporters. Now they are all activists. Sort of like the district court judges and district magistrates. More interested in getting atta boys and atta girls than doing the job that they applied for.
I don’t know why they feel the need to be radically outspoken, even at the expense of common sense and reason.
More like the jobs the cabal BOUGHT or them.
The Media needs fixing for sure.
The Judicial System needs an enema, maybe a dozen in the same hour.
I think it has gotten much worse since Smith – Mundt was repealed and allowed propaganda to American people.
Yes!! Barack’s team effectively rewrote the Smith-Mundt ‘rules’ as part of the defense authorization act in 2012 and we have been awash in propaganda ever since.
The “Modernization” part was the fundamental transformation 😉
“The Smith-Mundt
Modernization Act of 2012 repealed the domestic prohibition allowing government broadcasting to be directed at/created for Americans.”
I’ve read some say that it backfired on Dem’s…I’ve noted it has accelerated the dis-mis-mal information.
And thanks to our SD, I’ve learned how to spot the strings on the Marionettes so now, I can no longer go back to the time when I could NOT see them.
I credit Sundance & Treepers with educating me in the truth. I was clueless too.
Ditto, I’m trying to learn. Sundance goes deep in the swamp, never knew how deep it is.
You were young, trusting, innocent, back then.
Life can only be lived forward. It can only be understood by looking backward. Unfortunately, everyone “understands” long after it would have made a difference. That’s why honest and responsible parents, officers, teachers, clergy, and elected officials are critical to preserving things for you/us so you have time to grow up and learn to make good decisions. It is also why anyone who violates that trust should be held accountable for it.
The media has always been propaganda (look up Operation Mockingbird.)
What changed is our willingness to tolerate it or give media the benefit of the doubt has eroded away to zero after they became so blatant with their bias. Our willingness to call them out for their naked stupidity and lies has grown. We have more and better options now than we ever had before.
HHe tv, good ‘ol Walter Cronkite was a propagandist!
The disgraced, Lying Dan Rather was a more recent propagandist.
Yesterday Sunday I watched, holding back my vomit, a CBS interview of Steve Bannon and Ted Koppel.
So infuriating, except Bannon was cool as you can be.
Koppel was the expected leftish taunt-er.
My first comment about Cronkite got garbled, but saw too late to edit.
I was a child when the television (tell a vision, tel lie vision) was introduced into American homes. I know I have been propagandized my entire life of 73 years.
Why do these propaganda machines still have licenses to broadcast lies?
We were all clueless.
Everything we were taught is a lie.
Trump running awakened the country, then Covid proved the massive lying.
Walter Kronkite, Dan Rather, David Brinkley, Chet Huntley, and Howard K. Smith were masters of deception. Oops I left out the two saints Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. Tim Russert who couldn’t remember details that would have helped Scooter Libby at his trial.
A friend of mine was managing a Car Dealership and as a gag, put an ad in the paper.
“SALESMAN WANTED, MUST LOOK HONEST.”
You had better things to do when a yute.
And Tapper again with the furrowed brow, see how serious I am? Lol
Tears might have helped…and a masculine, monogrammed hanky to dab them with…
(I remember as a child making faces and my mother telling me that if I didn’t stop, my face would freeze like that. Apparently Tapper’s dear mother forgot to tell him. Every time I see him I think of that. So much so that I forget to listen to half of what he’s blathering on about.)
😂😂😂 or he didn’t listen to his mother, something definitely went wrong with him.
He might be dude botoxed too, like his androgynous gal pal Kaityn Collins – locked into permanent dyspeptic sneers.
Throw Rachel Maddow in there and you’ve got a trifecata!
I truly think the Collins thing is a tranny.
Maybe some inspired journalist can get to the bottom of it. Ewwww.
Isn’t Joke Crapper the one who said he threw his dear old mother in a nursing home so he wouldn’t have to take care of her?
Even though he knocks down a gazillion bucks a year being a hokey teevee star and can clearly afford home care?
And he let foreigners see after her instead of hiring Americans?
That Joke Crapper?
What a weasel that guy.
0.o
I have no idea.
I hope that is not true. But his vomitous pretense that he cares anything about the child in the car came off as insincere and forced. Nothing, and I mean nothing, would surprise me.
He and the rest of his Enemedia associates are walking, talking emetics.
Tapper is absolutely pathetic. If he was honest, Tapper would have applauded ICE saving the US taxpayers money by offing the piece of garbage
Can’t stand to see even a still shot of him, dear sir.
His hairdo. Yes, I got the same thing about my face freezing too. Especially when I crossed my eyes.
Tapper’s make-up guy is tuning him into slight shade of ghoul these days. Not orange, but more yellow putty?
That’s jaundice setting in – it’s his liver is going out maybe because he drinks like a fish?
0.o
He is just painful to look at.
does anybody actually watch him?
Tapper wrote a book where he claims that Biden’s inner circle hid his mental decline from Tapper and other journalists. The fact that every Tom Dick and Harry in the country could clearly see that Bidens mind was gone eludes Tapper.
He looks as if he suffers from chronic constipation, complicated by acid reflux.
Joke Tapper phrases his questions in a confusing way that insinuates guilt, and then furrows his brow because the question was misunderstood or answered in a way he didn’t get what he wanted. The furrow is also a tactic that paints the guest as a problem.
“Oh my, look at my frown due to this guest and his answers.”
Tactics , not character he says, feigning concern allegedly for the thugs 5 yo son! Uh huh.
Noticed Joke Tapper also skipped over the illegal ballot scams already underway
Just think how much time someone spent handing Tapper those snotty questions, one after another. Muilln was fantastic. Not a single apology from Tapper, that he got the facts in his “questions ” totally wrong. Just kept moving on to the next sneer-smears. Total crap, Tapper.
It is hard to believe that their viewers don’t see how biased and ridiculous it is. The fake concern over tactics without context of the situation, trying to say that the officer created the danger for the child. It is embarrassing that anyone would believe any of it.
Most famous <sic> urinolists <sic sic> are failed actors.
They continue to act, but not in movies of commercials.
It’s ALL an act.
Thanks Sundance, that was a good interview by Mullins.
Poor Jake, none of what he imagined would be gotcha questions succeeded.
When will the American people start getting the truth from our media. They are always on the side of the criminal. Enough.
Never.
Communists # one tactic is to control the communication, media. Soros bought multitudes of radio stations prior to election…as one example.
When you say the lies enough, people that aren’t rooted in God are blowing here and there they grab onto whatever lies they’re told and they believe as the truth.
So as long communists, etc., are here, so are they.
Soros and his whole family shouldn’t be allowed to own any method of communication!
They just got the truth from the Trump administration. Props to the Trump team for taking on these union-member media talking heads. Unions gonna union, even in the media: SAG, AFTRA ….
Jakob Tapper: POS Deluxe
Jake Crapper. God – some things never change. Playing Devil’s Advocate or just plain stupid?
Mr. Tapper just had his ass kicked. It couldn’t have happened to a worse personality (journalist just didn’t feel right).
neither does “personality”.
heh
The liberal enemedia always brings knives to these interviews. They should begin to realize that this administration comes with guns loaded.
It was Walter Cronkite with his raised eyebrows when doing a story he disagreed with that first led me to understand the bias of the news media.
The TV got thrown out the back door many years ago because of the same bias that was taking over the non-news programming.
I always liked David Brinkley performance better.
Dan Rather was always providing a comical distraction with his dentures clacking around . . . kind of like Nancy Pelosi.
0.o
Wasn’t Walter Cronkite the first to start putting voice inflections into his speech and raised eyebrows and moustache swishing during certain Vietnam War narrations? That was the era too that MSM relished broadcasting todays video news clips of extremely gritty battle scenes onto our TV’s exactly in time so we could watch during supper time.. Was incredible demonic cruelty for those families that had sons and husbands in Vietnam! Then come along Jane Fonda, the darling of stage and screen; bitch!
You remember correctly, and every evening the count of Americans killed would scroll across the bottom of the screen.
Poor Jane. Going to have to have to be interned in a secret location when she leaves.
Cronkite went along with the govt’s lie about the Gulf of Tonkin “breaking news”. He read their official “narrative” on his newscast with a straight face, but unseen/unheard to us viewers were his laughing comments during the commercial break that “we really got ’em there, didn’t we?” I forget who leaked that out years later, but that was my first exposure to the real Walter. Then later on we learned he was all for many off-the-wall beliefs which further sealed the deal.
If you can count on one thing, it’s that Democrats will lie–especially corrupt and horrible NY Democrats.
Leftist lie liberally.
Sadly Sec Mullin is good at interviewing yet falling way short on actually deporting
One city in our State is flying illegals out 24:7, every day. Remember, we have millions of them!
And also Jake affordability is a big fat hoax. When I start seeing college and NFL stadiums half full I might change my mind.
This guy was truly one of the worst of the worst and despite that Mamdani insisted he be released lol. I’m convinced that unless these leftists themselves or one of their family members is the victim of a violent assault they’re likely to never change their tune.
Leftist only care about power; everything else including family members is expendable for the cause.
Dana Bash has a dead eyed, stone face look that conveys disbelief that her guest would even think of answering the question with the truth. These people disgust me.
President Trump is going to take these people down after the midterms.
He’s using them, knowing their motivations… every person in America knows who the “fake news” are.
They will never have credibility again, ever.
Our President, unlike Democrats, believes Americans are smart and understand media is the enemy.
He uses their hate to “fan” certain issues, bringing them to our attention…like communism.
Mullin has improved – I’ve been one of his harshest critics, and even I will admit he’s getting better.
It’s harder to think and speak in front of a camera than most people consider. It’s a skill, and the skilled people make it look easy but I’m aware of how flustered I’d be. I cut most people some slack
Since the left is no longer hiding their desire to destroy our Republic and remake it into their version of a communist utopia that has never existed. How much longer must we wait before their treasons reprobates are arrested and given the treatment they deserve? My patience is wearing thin.
For that to happen, the Democrats will have to disassociate themselves from the Communists, the Islamists, the Globalists and every billionaire like George Soros that provides them money for their subversive games and plots. Won’t happen without massive bloodshed!
Wow, pow! Tapper’s string of smug gotcha accusation got knocked out of the ball park. Another great Trump team member. Mullin was prepared for the constant stream of total garbage than MSM keeps spewing out of their rear ends.
There is only 1 reason to continue this “kinship’ and support of the most violent segments of American society, whether they be immigrant criminals or homegrown “gangbanger” type criminals in America; to defeat the productive side of American culture so that the criminal and unproductive side of American culture can thrive and expand in the absence of the productive side.
THEY WANT THE BAD GUYS TO WIN AND FOR US TO LOSE! That mindset, however it was formed, must, MUST be extracted from the culture and dealt with on the outside. A nation cannot maintain its sovereignty with such vile and putrid hatreds continuing to fester like a cancer! Liberalism must be made to yield!
Our lawyers, judges and justice system make a lot of money off of those criminals you mentioned
Tapper channels his own Charlie Kirk – Spews out a bunk of lies and then demands …prove me wrong.
And Mullin just did. But Tapper kept coming back for more beatings.
The right thing to do Tapper, is apologize for the accusations and thank the nice man for shedding light on the current media lies. You are welcome, Tapper.
Where are the civil lawsuits against these mayors and governors for negligence in not following/enforcing the immigration laws. Every American life lost should have a wrongful death lawsuit right behind it. Swamp the courts, it is necessary and just. These sanctuary states should be sued into oblivion.
Media hacks all the same. Magaret Brennan on Face The Nation said armed robbery and murder of police officers by illegals is not a problem.
Yes. I was going to write something about Mark appearing on her show today too. It is probably below their mindset to go and cast a ballot for an election anywhere at any time for the simple reason they aren’t paid to. Hawk Pooey on them both.
Liberals who live in nice neighborhoods and protected enclaves have no idea what the street is like, what dealing with extreme violence is like. “Why don’t you change your tactics?” (…so you can be more ‘kind and humane’…)
These people also practice gentle parenting and are raising the next generation of entitled ne’er-do-wells.
Jake Crapper is all about protecting the illegal alien criminals. Would he invite this guy and his 5 year old son to come and stay at his house?
Mullin told it like it is to CNN’s toadie extrodinaire, Jake Tapper, who appeared so distraught that his narrative of poor illegal criminals being victimized by ICE had been shifted to the hundreds of American citizens murdered by illegals in New York, that he looked like the sky was about to fall the entire time Mullins was speaking!
And the sky just might be falling on old Jake, when Paramount Skydance takes the helm at CNN!
I had to adjust my phone lighting so I could see Secretary Mullin. Certainly wouldn’t be subliminally casting darkness on the interviewee, would it? Maybe CNN is having trouble with the power bill.
To give Tapper a bit of credit (not a way I normally start a sentence), he did not interrupt Mr. Mullin.
You can’t say that for many of the network ‘interviewers,’ especially the female ones.
I think Mullins shocked him into silence. That or Jake doesn’t believe the bs he’s selling anymore!
Mullin is probably looking for a pathway to citizenship for the invader.
Her party BANNED healthy people from going to church or going to school during the C19 “lockdowns.”
They want you to be afraid.
Fear not.
How can CNN have any credibility with these kind of unfounded attacks and insinuations?
Every Republican politician should bring the receipts to every interview, a pile of receipts
and be able to rattle off the facts without having to use a sheet of talking points.
when Jake asked about tactics, I wish I could ask him what tactics he would suggest.
He’s stepping up!
Good job!!!
🎯🇺🇸💥💯
Once again we see Jake lapper ,playing that part of asshole he plays that part so well ifs all natural ,typical liberal. He also a turd.
It’s so hard to believe anyone would be sympathetic towards this violent illegal alien or any illegal alien. It really shows how deranged these people are.
They do not care about you, any more than their beloved criminals care about you.
The media trying very hard to manufacture another George Floyd event
I wish Republicans in general, and the Trump administration in particular, would stop going on CNN. It gives them an aura of legitimacy which they very much do not deserve. Instead we should see more interviews being done with RSBN or even with popular bloggers on the right. That would result in very different questions being asked. It would also result in more people following conservative media, something which we badly need.
In general this is an area where the Trump administration has dropped the ball. Breaking the back of the MSM should have been a top priority. Instead Trump threw his weight behind the Ellison takeover of CBS …. resulting in zero change in the political biases on that network.
I avoid air travel nowadays so I don’t know if CNN permeates airports like it used.
I would like to see some new articles declaring that they have been kicked out of airports.
CNN went off the tv in the airports years ago. I have to fly sometimes. CNN was better than the contstantly blating TSA blaring be scared stuff.
Hey Jake! You still fly fishing with Newsom in suit pants and a button-down shirt? What a fool! Keep up your fake journalism destroying our country! Nobody watches you because you’re so full of crap! What an unbelievable jerk! 💁🏻♀️
As it goes in Molenbeek, so it goes in Montreal: When the Police Switch Sides :: SteynOnline:
“… In the slogan of the most famous of His Majesty’s Constabularies, the Mounties always get their man. But, in the new Canada, they’ll get you instead – because, frankly, that’s a lot easier, and demographically prudent:
As Mme Lavoie yells at the coppers, “C’est une femme” – that’s a woman. But apparently that’s how the butch boys of the Service de Police de la Ville de Montréal take down an unarmed female. The femme in question is Natasha Montreal, a Tweeter I have read for a few years now, because day after day she is out on the streets recording the reality of the ongoing degeneration of her city into an Islamic squat. Alas, for “the authorities” the problem is not the mob baying for mass murder but the few brave citizens willing to record it:
I am going to plough through the available footage, because there are occasional glimpses of the policemen’s name-tags, and those names should be known. At least one of those officers, having already assaulted another woman, is too dangerous to be permitted to continue in his job: later, he attempted to choke Natasha, and wrenched her arm and neck sufficiently seriously to require, after her release from the police station, a visit to hospital. He assaulted her, but she has been charged with assaulting him. The cops were obstructing her and Mme Lavoie, but it is Natasha who has additionally been charged with obstructing the police:
The pertinent words there are “at all costs”. …
But look at the Hamas groupies cheering the SPVM goons as they get their woman, and re-read Francis Pilon’s coverage of the event: that’s the real governing coalition. Natasha, who has suffered physical injuries and mental trauma, will never feel the same about her country. Certainly, I have never felt the same about my country since the human-rights commissions came after me. But at least they didn’t beat me up. As in Britain and Europe, the police and media have made common cause with the surging Muslim demographic – and you can’t make an omelette without breaking a few chicks.” …….
“I’m not defending him.” Liar. Yes, Jake, you are defending him.
Did anyone else notice the horrible lighting on Secretary Mullin? This is CNN. I don’t care if it was a small town affiliate’s studio or on location somewhere, those people do lighting FOR A LIVING. They play in the big leagues. That amateur level, unflattering lighting seems intentional. Even if he refused makeup, the lighting should still be better. It’s possible that Mullin has a make-shift studio set up in his home or office and that might explain the low production value,s but the State of the Union background seems like this was CNN’s production. If so, you can’t hate the MSM enough for the way they play their psy-op games.
Where are the lawsuits against sanctuary cities? Why are they legal!
They aren’t legal – the law simply isn’t being enforced…
I don’t think there are any lawsuits. Sure aren’t legal by any stretch.
great interview
BUT BUT BUT, THE POOR ILLEGAL CRIMINAL WITH A RAP SHEET A MILE LONG! LETS NOT HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE, THE POOR BABIES!
No once upon a time there were somewhat more objective. Comes to my 1987 when Gary Hart was chased down by actual Democrat media to confront him about Donna Rice, he dropped out of the Democrat presidential race after that.
Tapper actually suggested that since the majority of the time these people are behind the wheel of a car, wouldn’t it be better to “wait until they were outside the car.”
That tells me all I need to know about Tapper.
It’s been said by many of us thousands of times : You can’t hate the Mainstream Media enough.
shooting the perp dead and then getting news coverage is a far better outcome for the Ametican public than seeing him clogging the courts for years. prove me wrong.
Come on Jake!, ICE did a fantastic job! 👏
Only 1 person was killed and that was the dirt bag thug. The 5yr old was returned safe and sound… you people in MEDIA make me sick, I can’t wait till you are replaced, because your narrative sucks!
Yes, Walter Cronkite used his nightly news show to influence politics and the Viet Nam War!
ICE Agents use same Tactics every Dept uses, but when ICE Agents stop vehicles, tazz someone or use a nightstick the media and PAID PROTESTERS come armed with bats. Media holds ICE to a different standard because Trump is President.
One of the reasons why so many remain willfully blind to the propaganda news is that they know there is nothing that can be done about it and it creates a sense of hopelessness. I know the truth and I still sometimes fall into the hopelessness because it’s hard to watch where the world is heading and we are more or less just along for the ride. Thank God for Jesus Christ who will walk with us till we leave this planet. Jesus Christ is our only REAL HOPE.
