Former President Barack Obama has urged the Biden regime to declare a national emergency and use its powers to eradicate all independent media online ahead of the 2024 election.
Speaking to CBS News on Tuesday, Obama warned that the mainstream media has lost its control over the narrative and said the only solution is for the U.S. government to step in and take drastic action.
“The thing that I’m most worried about is the degree to which we now have a divided conversation, in part because we have a divided media, right?” Obama told Nate Burleson.
“I’m much older than you… when I was coming up, you had three TV stations and people were getting a similar sense of what is true and what isn’t, what was real and what was not.”
“Today, what I’m most concerned about is because of the splintering of the media, we almost occupy different realities,” Obama said, adding “If something happens, in the past, everybody could say, all right, we may disagree on how to solve it, but at least we all agree that, yeah, that’s an issue.”
Infowars.com reports: Obama further complained that in this day and age some people refuse to believe media narratives.
“Now people will say, well, that didn’t happen, or I don’t believe that,” he complained, asserting that “one of, I think, the goals of the Obama Foundation, and one of the goals of my post-presidency, is how do we return to that common conversation? How can we have a common set of facts?”
Obama went on to talk about gun control as an example of one issue he wants to see Americans accept a “common set of facts” on.
“We may disagree on gun violence in terms of what the best prescriptions are, but we can’t deny the data that says the United States has levels of gun violence that are 5, 10, 15 times more than other countries,” he stated, adding “So if we say it is just a mental health problem, well, it’s not like there aren’t people with mental health problems in those other countries. What’s the difference? This is probably the difference. Now, we can have a debate. But at least we’ve agreed on some facts.”
Watch:
Is Obama concerned that the ‘reality’ we occupy is no longer forged by what the establishment media and their NFL players/comedians/entertainers turned ‘reporters’ are bought to push as the case by their corporate sponsors?
As the interview went on, Obama cited Australia as a model of gun control, noting that in that country there was “one mass shooting 50 years ago and they said, we’re not doing that anymore,” before outlawing all firearms.
“That is normally how you would expect a society to respond when your children are at risk,” Obama declared.
Many viewers refused to accept that ‘common set of facts’:
