This video argues that media outlets like Axios have been criticized for publishing government-exclusive information without adequate verification, potentially misleading audiences about threats like Cuba's alleged drone capabilities. The speaker contends that journalists have an ethical obligation to maintain healthy skepticism when receiving government information, especially when such information may be politically motivated or used as a pretext for military action. The video emphasizes that audiences deserve context to distinguish between real threats and manufactured justifications for foreign policy interventions.

Here's the TRUTH About Why Cuba Isn't About to Attack AmericaAdded:
We need to tell you about a story that's not getting enough attention today. And that is America's possible military action against Cuba. Yes, just when you were getting tired of hearing about Iran enter Cuba to possibly take center stage in our foreign excursions. We told you about it in AM update this morning, but for those who did not get a chance to listen or would like a more full discussion, uh a story by Axios over the weekend really caught our eye. The headline reads, "Exclusive US eyes attack drone threat from Cuba. A threat from Cuba, which is basically completely imploding and not in a position to threaten anybody." But this is what they're going with. The story says the reporter got exclusive access to US intelligence indicating Cuba has obtained more than 300 military drones.
300 military drones. It goes on to say that leaders of the island nation have had discussions about attacking the US military base at Guantanamo Bay, US military vessels, and maybe even Key West, Florida. Yes. while they night after night cannot even keep the lights on or the in ICU units in their hospitals powered literally losing power on their ventilators of babies. They're thinking about bombing us. That's that's what Axios wants you to believe. And I'm not blaming just Axios. It's our government clearly leaking to Axios.
Axios time and time again has come out with exclusives from the US government letting us know that the Iran war is about to settle.
It's over. They've basically reached a deal. It's being papered now. We're about to get great news.
Did it happen? I I was I was at a tennis tournament all weekend. Did Did we settle the Iran war? I don't I feel like we didn't. Um, so that's unfortunate, but it's also unfortunate for Axios that it continues to allow itself to be used in this manner because typically as a reporter, you have an obligation to your audience to maintain a healthy sense of skepticism, especially when you are obviously being fed a bunch of Cuba is not about to attack us. These are lies. Okay, there we can make we can have a good faith debate about whether we want to swoop in and rescue Cuba from the conditions we've helped impose on Cuba. Um, and be really cleareyed about why we've done what we've done and why we think they need us. But let's please do it honestly. Let's not pretend that Cuba is about to attack us, okay? Like this is this is an insult to our intelligence, okay? They they literally cannot keep the lights on down there as they're dealing with extreme fuel shortages because America has cut off the oil shipments that Cuba relies upon from Venezuela. All right, the fall of Venezuela or its leadership was the death nail to Cuba. When we swooped down and we got Nicholas Maduro in a daring military operation back in January, that was kind of the end of Cuba, which had been hanging by a thread. And um now they have no oil and so they have no power. They have no way of turning on their lights for some 23 out of the 24 hours of the day. So there there is Cuba's not contemplating an attack on America. Stop. Stop. Don't insult our intelligence. Be honest. Tell us what we're doing. That's just whatever. Okay. So are but are we are we planning an attack on them? We don't know. We don't we're not sure. Even Axios had the thank God like the sense of self-preservation enough to describe its own reporting as a possible quote pretext to US military action. Thank you. Thank you for that access. It's like here's a bunch of spoonfed we've been given. I'm going to put in one line about what we actually think is going on here. They're using this as a pretext to U US US military action so that they can then turn around and be like, "We said it was pretextual, right?
You gave your audience absolutely no context for all the you just heaped upon them. You just wanted the exclusive. You want to be patted on the head by whatever administration official is giving you these exclusives. You want clicks and therefore you refuse to actually offer context for your audience so they are to know what's real and what's not. Shame on you." Okay? It's not just Trump's government. All the governments try to mislead the press.
This is not a new invention. It's the press's obligation to be skeptical, sniff through it, and protect their audience. To protect their audience from You don't have to make an affirmative determination. It's But you do have to include the facts around the information you've been given so that your audience can make up its own mind.
Um, there is a fair amount of evidence that we are about to engage in some sort of military action against Cuba. CIA Director John Ratcliffe made a visit there last Thursday and warned that the Trump administration would quote seriously engage with the country's government, but quote only if it makes fundamental changes. What does that mean? Leadership. We want regime change before we'll swoop in to rescue them.
The New York Times also reporting that Ratcliffe demanded Cuba shut down China's and Russia's alleged intelligence posts on the island. Okay, that that may very well be the case. I mean, certainly wouldn't be surprised at all to see these two, you know, socialist and communist nations having some sort of a foothold on the island of Cuba, which is communist. uh that we don't like some sort of intel post.
Though I do think it's curious. This is we weren't hearing about that. Didn't hear about that from Trump or others who are sort of slowly making the case for some sort of interference in Cuba at all. This seems to be an 11th hour possible justification because it's the first we're really hearing them mention.
Oh, the the intelligence posts from our two main adversaries, China and Russia.
You know, US has got to do something.
Can't be a bunch of stooges. There are more signs of US action against Cuba, too, in in addition to the ones that we just went through, including reports that the DOJ is now contemplating indicting former Cuba leader Raul Castro. Does this sound familiar? Does this sound like a playbook you're familiar with?
Obviously, they could use this as another justification for a Maduroike raid to take Castro into custody, even though he's no longer in power there.
But what the hell? Aren't the Castros always in power in Cuba? Uh, if you think I'm exaggerating things like maybe we don't have designs on Cuba, don't trust me. Listen to President Trump and what he said himself.
>> Cuba is ready to fall. You know, >> yes, >> it's a failed nation. You know, all my life I've been hearing about the United States and Cuba. When will the United States do it? I do believe I'll be the honor of having the honor of taking Cuba. I think I could do anything I want with it. You want to know the truth?
>> Cuba's finished. They have a bad regime.
They have very bad and corrupt leadership >> and it may be a friendly takeover. It may not be a friendly takeover. It wouldn't matter.
>> Cuba is a failed nation. Cuba also wants to make a deal and I think we will pretty soon or either make a deal or do whatever we have to do. And so we're talking to Cuba, but we're going to do Iran before Cuba.
>> We're going to do Iran before Cuba. And here's one of the president's favorite foreign policy surrogates these days, Iran war cheerleader, Senator Lindsey Graham, speaking about Cuba. Watch.
>> Cuba's next. They're going to fall. This communist dictatorship in Cuba, their days are numbered. Cuba is on death watch. It's just a matter of time, and I mean a short time. To the people of Cuba, help is on the way. You just wait for Cuba. Their days are numbered. You see this hat? Free Cuba. Stay tuned. The liberation of Cuba is upon us. It's just a matter of time now. You see this at Make Iran great. We're marching through the world. We're cleaning out the bad guys. This is Ronald Reagan. Plus, Iran is going down and Cuba is next.
>> Marching through the world and cleaning out the bad guys. I mean, we're we're going to be really busy. Be super busy.
