All right. A little over a month ago, I had a call. It was like the one billionth call from a woman who asked me about FEMA prison camps. And I said to my producer, I said, "Can we just please debunk this or prove it to be accurate?" I kind of snapped on the lady because, honestly, I'm sick of seeing the emails about the FEMA camps. I got something from friends that was about Nancy Pelosi, and it was completely bogus.
Look, let's just stick to the facts. There is enough truth out there that pisses people off. We don't need all the lies.
The basic idea is that FEMA is setting up evil concentration camps to be used against U.S. citizens. Now, along with the 9-11 truthers, this is one of the most pervasive conspiracy theories on the Internet, because it comes with supposed video -- there's the video proof, right there. That video now has had over -- well over a million views on YouTube.
So we set out to get the truth. And quite honestly, I don't believe that there are FEMA concentration camps. I think that sounds kind of nuts. But if there are, I'll show them to you. If there aren't, I'll show that to you.
We set out to get the truth on it. And after our initial research, I came in and I said, "Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. We can't debunk this?" Well, no, I thought we had done enough research to get the video. I wanted to line up video side by side.
Apparently, there hadn't been any debunking done at all. And there was no video side by side. Well, predictably, the media started claiming that somehow or another I believed in these conspiracy theories, even though I said on the air a million times I don't, and I've said that for years.
Not to mention the entire time they were running their mouths, we were working with an independent group to debunk them or to prove them. I also said that on the air over and over and over again. But who listens to context?
