Truth in Media

Date: 07-20-13
Host: John B. Wells
Guests: Ben Swann

Investigative journalist Ben Swann joins John B. Wells to discuss how our culture has become truth deficient. According to Swann, the historical centers of truth have broken down, and the average US citizen has lost their voice to monied power, and voters are disenfranchised from the party system.

WHAT TIME?

[Bastiat's The Law]

Time.

[WhistlinDave]

In the middle of the freakin' night. (I forget what time, but it's late late late night.)

[WhistlinDave]

Oh, this is from the website:

Coast to Coast AM -Live Nightly 1am-5am EST / 10pm-2am PST

I could've sworn it was on later than that here on the West coast... Maybe they changed the time it airs. Oh well. Anyway, there you go.

[green73]

VERY COOL

[samforpaul]

Wow! Quite a busy day for Mr. Swann. He spoke this morning in northern Kentucky, then was to speak at Ohio State later in the day and now I see he's going to be on Coast to Coast.

Probably the most memorable thing said from his presentation was that he interviewed Romney and Ryan just two days before the Republican Convention. They (the Romney team) had someone sitting behind Ben during the interview while Romney and Ryan could look over Ben to see him. Afterwards Ben asked someone who that was and was told it was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Although Ben of course couldn't see the guy he compared it to a catcher in a baseball game who was putting his fingers down to give direction to the pitcher or I should say pitchers.

Pray for Ben's safety.

Ben Swann will be on at 2 am ET according to host, Hastings death will be one of the topics of discussion.

If America doesn't know Ben Swann yet.....they're about to get to know him now.

[Natural Citizen]

Should be able to gauge the level of interest in Ben during the show tonight. Coast audience has a tendency to crash servers for the web sites of guests whom they find to provide value. This is a truly informed audience. Probably much more informed than many self proclaimed liberty movement folk so Ben is perhaps the one with the most to gain in participation with what amounts to usual discussion for this platform.

[Tod]

On


NOW

[WhistlinDave]

He's introducing Ben right now... Starting up!

[WhistlinDave]

Great intro for Ben... And now it's a commercial. LOL

[jct74]

Ben knows a lot about the Mexican drug war.

[WhistlinDave]

Well that just absolutely kicked ass!!! Great show!!!

[green73]

tube?

[Warlord]

I admire NC's stamina at being a fan of c2c and suppose PST isn't too bad for him but seriously hope he gets enough rest :)

[Bastiat's The Law]

What hour of the show is he on?

[Bastiat's The Law]

Shoot you need a membership to listen.

[tod evans]

Tube please.

[Warlord]

woah 2 hours 40! thanks jct

[Bastiat's The Law]

Thanks for the the tubes!

[Warlord]

Wow they're covering a lot of topics. This is a great interview with John B Wells.

[Warlord]

Wells is pretty impressive and called Al Qeada Al-CIADA. Swann agree's.

[Bastiat's The Law]

Wells sounds like a Pauler :)

[Warlord]

Well's was fantastic... they even spoke about the Fed. Can't highly recommend this enough. 2 hours since Ben comes on at 00:41.

He's also set me kind of straight on Snowden (Occam will be pleased) by simply sticking to the whistleblower definition and not to let our imaginations run wild but meh.

[Bastiat's The Law]

Ben was terrific braking down the Snowden discussion.

[Warlord]

Ben was terrific braking down the Snowden discussion.

Yes he's allayed some of my fears. i.e stick to the facts and not get too carried away. Sometimes find this difficult.

[WhistlinDave]

Shoot you need a membership to listen.

Actually you didn't.... If you click on "stations" on the main page, then you get a list of local AM stations. They're clickable links. A lot of them allow you to then go to the station's website and listen for free via iHeartRadio or whatever. That's what I did. (Just for future reference.)

[VIDEODROME]

this host has a very deep voice, it is not George Noory for sure.

John B. Wells is a new addition to the show. He speaks kind of like Art Bell but he could almost pass for Darth Vader.

[WhistlinDave]

Hey if there's one thing I want to call attention to from Ben's interview, it's that Ben says IT'S IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO LET YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES KNOW HOW YOU FEEL about things. He said most people think it doesn't do any good to call or write to their politicians and they're wrong about that. It DOES do some good. The more they know where their constituents stand, the more likely they might do the right thing.

He talks about this just for a minute or two starting around 2:06:00 in the video/interview.

Did you notice your song on benswann.com?

Good point you brought up.

I recommend everyone to listen to the entirety. (start at around 41 minute mark) It was a great interview that touched on many different things.

[Occam's Banana]

Did you notice your song on benswann.com?

Hey, it is! That's great!

@ Dave: You should bump your thread for the video and brag about this!

[Antischism]

I'm going to listen to this tonight while I play Euro Truck Simulator 2.

Yea man!! I was posting it all over Facebook on Liberty related pages, including on Ben's, and I also sent a link to the "contact" e-mail on Ben's website, but honestly didn't think anyone would even see it. And certainly didn't think they were going to put it on the site!! I figure they must get hundreds of e-mails, comments, and messages every day. But a day later, someone who works for Ben actually e-mailed me and asked my permission to put it on their site. I'm so stoked on that!!

Re. the Coast to Coast AM interview, I agree, the whole thing is a really good listen. Learned quite a few new things.

[WhistlinDave]

Hey, it is! That's great!

@ Dave: You should bump your thread for the video and brag about this!

LOL I don't like to brag. And even if I did, that song is about Ben and the great journalism he's doing, and if I happen to get a few new YouTube viewers/listeners out it, that's icing on the cake, but it's really about Ben and I don't want to make it about me.

[Tod]

That was such a great interview and I just went to link to that video only to see that it has been taken down. :mad: :confused: :(

[Bastiat's The Law]

What happened? Does anyone have the audio to that interview?
