Podcast Summary
Deep State and Media: A Mutualistic Relationship: The deep state and media work together, each feeding off the other, as seen in the Hunter Biden story and Neil Gorsuch case. Stay informed and support causes like Folds of Honor.
The deep state and media work together as a symbiotic organism, with each feeding off the other. This was evident during the Hunter Biden story and the recent religious freedom case involving Neil Gorsuch. Meanwhile, Dan Vongino encourages listeners to vote in important races, shop for Omaha Steaks for the holiday season, and purchase merchandise from his website to support the charity Folds of Honor. The deep state media pipeline relies on mutual support and pushing narratives, rather than facts. It's crucial to stay informed and support causes that make a difference.
Deep state's influence on media and tech industries: The deep state's influence on media and tech industries can lead to the suppression of explosive stories, potentially impacting election outcomes.
The relationship between deep state actors, media organizations, and tech companies can lead to the suppression of explosive stories, potentially influencing election outcomes. The Pointer Institute, a group funded in part by the National Endowment for Democracy, which has ties to the intelligence community, reportedly downplayed the significance of the Hunter Biden story before the 2020 election. This narrative was then amplified by media outlets, dismissing it as a "nothing burger." However, the Hunter Biden story involved allegations of international corruption involving the Biden family. The deep state's involvement in pressuring tech companies to censor the story, as exposed by Elon Musk after buying Twitter, further highlights the complex interplay between these entities. The dismissive response to the Hunter Biden story is a concerning example of the deep state's influence on the media and tech industries.
Twitter Censors Hunter Biden Stories for Alleged Inappropriate Content, But They Were About Influence Operations and Kickbacks: Twitter suppressed New York Post articles revealing Hunter Biden's business dealings with foreign governments, sparking debates on election interference and freedom of speech. The articles, which received massive views on Facebook, were not about naked pictures or drug use but rather alleged influence operations and kickbacks.
The New York Post stories about Hunter Biden's business dealings with foreign governments, which were censored by Twitter before the US election, were not about naked pictures or drug use, but rather about alleged influence operations and kickbacks. The attempts to reduce these stories to salacious content were criticized as an effort to downplay their significance. The censorship raised concerns about election interference and freedom of speech. The stories gained significant attention on social media, with one article on Facebook receiving 54 million views, and dominated the political discourse in the early voting window. The timing and impact of the stories, which came out over a month before the election and were back online within days, are still subjects of debate.
Censorship of Hunter Biden's laptop story: Liberals went to extremes to censor Hunter Biden's laptop story, potentially impacting the election outcome, raising concerns over First Amendment rights.
The debate around censorship of Hunter Biden's laptop story before the 2020 US Presidential election raises serious concerns about the potential suppression of the First Amendment. According to the speaker, the Matt Taibbi files revealed that Joe Biden's team wanted certain links taken down, including those related to Hunter Biden's personal photos. The speaker argues that this is an example of liberals going to extreme lengths to defend censorship. The speaker also points out that it's impossible to prove a counterfactual, and the data suggests that the suppression of this story could have potentially changed the election outcome. Furthermore, the speaker questions the honesty of those who claim that the censorship was not a First Amendment issue, as they seem to ignore the evidence of collusion between the FBI and social media platforms to suppress the story. The speaker concludes by expressing disappointment in the media's handling of the situation and the potential implications for freedom of speech.
Deep state involvement in censorship during 2020 election: Deep state efforts to suppress Hunter Biden laptop story through third-party organizations and big tech companies raises constitutional concerns about freedom of press and election interference.
There are concerns about deep state involvement in the censorship of news stories, specifically the Hunter Biden laptop story, during the 2020 election. The media's credibility is not the focus of this discussion, but rather the efforts by intelligence officials and law enforcement to suppress this story through third-party organizations and big tech companies. This issue raises constitutional concerns as it relates to freedom of the press and interference in elections. It's important to note that this is not an isolated incident, but rather a pattern of behavior that undermines the democratic process. The media may be corrupt, but the government should not be involved in censoring their content. Instead, we should focus on ensuring a free and fair media landscape where all voices can be heard.
Deep state threats to US constitutional republic: Deep state actions, such as Schumer's warning and Schiff's false narratives, erode trust in institutions and could lead to a constitutional crisis, threatening public order and faith in democratic processes.
The deep state, media, and intelligence community's perceived attacks on the United States constitutional republic are a significant threat to the country. Trust in these institutions has eroded, and their actions have the potential to undermine the foundation of the constitution. Instances of this include Chuck Schumer's warning about the intelligence community's power and Adam Schiff's repeated spreading of false narratives. These actions, if left unchecked, could lead to a constitutional crisis and an erosion of public order and faith in democratic processes. It's essential to recognize and address this issue to preserve the integrity of the United States government.
Political figures use 'old news' label to distract from important issues: Some politicians and organizations deliberately label important issues as 'old news' or insignificant to distract attention and delay accountability.
The strategy of distracting from important issues by labeling them as old news or insignificant is not new, and it's being used deliberately by some political figures and organizations. This was evident in a recent discussion about the alleged suppression of the Hunter Biden story on Twitter and the subsequent response from the White House Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre. The strategy was also used during the Bill Clinton impeachment hearings in the late 1990s. The goal is to drag out the issue over time and then move on when the truth comes out, deflecting attention from the underlying issue. It's important to recognize this tactic and not be swayed by labels of "old news" or "distractions." The Hunter Biden story is a significant issue that deserves attention and scrutiny.
FBI's Handling of Hunter Biden Laptop Story: The FBI's handling of the Hunter Biden laptop story raises serious concerns about their impartiality and adherence to FEC rules, potentially compromising public trust in these institutions.
The FBI's handling of the Hunter Biden laptop story raises serious questions about their impartiality and adherence to Federal Elections Commission rules. YOL Roth, under oath, gave technical assistance to suppress the story, which is against FEC rules. The FBI had the laptop and could have verified its authenticity for Twitter but chose not to. Additionally, FBI agents had meetings discussing potential involvement of Hunter Biden in a hack and leak operation. The media's role in developing trust and putting out facts for the public to form opinions has been severely compromised, as evidenced by the mishandling of this story. The lack of transparency and accountability from both the FBI and the media has contributed to the all-time lows in trust in these institutions.
Trust in Media at an All-Time Low: 61% of Americans mistrust media, with 85% of Republicans sharing the sentiment. Opinions are sometimes presented as facts, and religious freedom cases are a contentious issue.
Trust in traditional media is at an all-time low, with 61% of Americans expressing no trust and 85% of Republicans feeling the same. This issue is compounded by the fact that media outlets, such as The New York Times and The Washington Post, often present opinion as fact. A current example is the ongoing Hunter Biden scandal, where media outlets have downplayed its significance. Another pressing issue is the Supreme Court case involving a web designer's religious freedom, which has been compared to re-education camps by some critics. Despite the media's role in shaping public opinion, it's crucial to maintain a free and open dialogue, ensuring all voices are heard and respected. This includes allowing individuals to practice their religious beliefs without infringement.
Bakery owner's website refusal based on religious beliefs: A business owner's decision to not create a specific website for a same-sex wedding doesn't deny service to gay customers, but rather protects her religious beliefs.
A bakery owner's refusal to create a website for a same-sex wedding event is not about denying service to gay customers, but rather an exercise of her religious beliefs. The case, which is critical for religious freedom, involves her only refusing to create a specific website that goes against her beliefs. The discussion also touched on the passing of Kirstie Alley and the upcoming release of a book by the speaker about the importance of recognizing and learning from failures. Additionally, a promotion for Omaha Steaks was included, encouraging listeners to take advantage of discounts and order for the holidays. The Google Podcasts app being discontinued was also mentioned as a reminder for listeners to follow the show on other platforms.
Fauci's Media Tour and Controversial Answers: Despite criticism for his handling of COVID-19 response, Fauci did not admit to mistakes during media interviews but seemed evasive during a sworn deposition. Transparency concerns linger in high-profile cases like Fauci's and the Pelosi trial.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, who is retiring from government, has been under scrutiny for his handling of various aspects of the COVID-19 response, including masks, vaccines, social distancing, and lockdowns. During a media tour, he was asked if there was anything he would do differently, but he did not admit to any mistakes. Instead, he seemed to be making light of the situation and compared it to a farewell tour. However, during a sworn deposition in a Missouri Attorney General lawsuit, Fauci was asked about a scientist named Zhi Zhang Li, who is believed to be involved in the Wuhan lab lead. Fauci appeared to be evasive and confused when answering the question, which some see as a misdirection. In the Pelosi trial case, there is controversy over the release of evidence related to the attack on Paul Pelosi, and the defense team for the alleged attacker is facing strict rules to access it. Overall, the transparency and handling of information in these high-profile cases have raised concerns.
Rules for handling protected information in trials: During trials, defense teams can only view protected info if witnesses would've known it, and experts can have unredacted copies under confidentiality agreements.
During a trial or related proceedings, the defense team can only view protected information if the witness would have had reason to know it due to their participation in the underlying events. Witnesses can only view the information in the presence of the defense team and cannot retain copies after their review is complete. Defense counsel can provide unredacted copies to experts, who must agree to keep the information confidential. The rules surrounding protected information seem unusual, especially in cases that appear open and shut. Frank Fegezi, a former FBI agent, believes that certain attacks are carried out by specific groups, despite a lack of evidence. The larger idea is that disrupting societal equalizers like electricity can lead to chaos, and some extremist groups believe this can be used to their advantage. The defense team's handling of protected information and Frank Fegezi's theories illustrate the complexities and potential misinterpretations that can arise in investigations.
Discussion on FBI, NBA, and Quantum Physics: Speaker expresses admiration for Joe Mazzula's reaction to royal family and shares obsession with quantum physics article, planning to cover it on Fox show.
During a discussion about the FBI's involvement in the Hunter Biden story and the NBA's handling of royal attendance at games, the speaker expressed admiration for Celtics coach Joe Mazzula's nonchalant response to meeting the royal family. The speaker also shared his obsession with a 2020 Vox article questioning if we're living in a computer simulation and how it relates to quantum physics. Despite differing opinions on the validity of the article, the speaker is deeply engaged with the idea and plans to cover it on his Fox show. Overall, the conversation showcased the speaker's unique perspective and passion for various topics.
