00:02 - Before Oklahoma was ever even a state,

00:11 there was a Native American Creek citizen

00:14 running a daily newspaper.

00:16 But here I am reporting on news topics

00:18 that maybe don't show my tribe in the best light.

00:23 Our tribal government--

00:24 - Roll call vote, please.

00:25 - Wasn't prepared for hungry journalists.

00:27 - All right, Jared, what you got?

00:28 - I'm creeping around and doing the news.

00:30 - Three top officials were arrested.

00:33 The word embezzlement comes to mind.

00:35 - But it's all the Muscogee Creek people have

00:37 as far as source of news, and someone's gotta deal it.

00:40 - Good morning, everyone.

00:44 Tonight, there will be a bill to repeal

00:47 the historic free press bill in its entirety.

01:09 are they going to arrest us?

01:11 Shit.

01:12 - I have had my stories edited by the executive branch,

01:20 and that's not fair, it's not transparent.

01:26 - The ultimate fate of freedom of the press

01:29 is directly hinged on the outcome of this election.

01:32 This is a giant nebulous of crazy going on.

01:38 - Actually, I knew Jimmy Buffett back in the '80s,

01:41 and I won't get into that.

01:42 - Chips fall where they may,

01:44 and let's hope that they're free press chips, man.
