Summary

Anthony Davis is a British broadcaster, journalist, and voiceover artist. He was born in London and has been based in Los Angeles since 2017, where he works remotely from his home studio with networks worldwide. Since November 2021, his collaborations with the MeidasTouch media network, including the Five-Minute News, The Weekend Show, and America Uncovered, have exploded his reach across the US as a trusted voice in news commentary. Anthony argues that inviting religious far-right speakers into the very heart of American democracy shows the shift to unionize the right-wing church and state. Anthony feels America fell to a dictator when Trump’s misinformation about the election campaign was spread, and peaceful protestors in Portland were militarized. This erosion of democratic values poses a grave threat to the foundation of American governance, necessitating concerted efforts to safeguard the integrity of democratic institutions and uphold the principles of justice and equality upon which the Constitution was founded.

0:10.0	And I am honored to have a colleague and friend, a major figure in my mind in the world of communication,
0:20.0	Anthony Davis, is with me today. I've been grateful to be

0:34.4	that my podcast is on as well, but he's got a video channel that's millions of people
0:41.3	are listening to him and his analyses. I want to say Anthony is a British broadcaster, journalist,
0:49.5	voiceover artists, born in London, and came to the U.S. in 2017, based in L.A. now. And I enjoyed visiting
1:00.4	you in real life and actually having dinner together. And we just really hit it off. And I said,
1:07.3	Anthony, you have to come on the influence continuum. I want my network to know more about your good work.

1:23.3	Thank you, Stephen.
1:24.3	It's great to be here.
1:25.8	Yeah, it's so interesting.
1:27.2	You know, when I moved to the U.S. with my family, it wasn't really with the intention of continuing my work in journalism. I wanted just to be a dad. And I realized, weirdly, there was a gap in the market for the kind of journalism we do in the UK, which has to be fact-based.
1:44.8	It's not opinion.
1:46.1	It's just based in truth because you lose your license in England if you just have an opinion.
1:51.8	It's not kind of how it works.
1:53.3	And so it's very interesting to kind of come here and do British-style journalism for an American audience.
2:00.4	Yeah, and I'll just say, we used to have better rules and regulations, and they got dismantled
2:08.0	by the GOP over decades of whittling away at the standards of evidence to the absurd point
