Twitter Files Part 3: Twitter Ignored Calls to Boot CCP Propaganda While Shadow banning Conservatives! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: As we continue our deep dive into the Twitter files,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: we are starting to see some true American patriots that
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: are coming out of the woodworks. One of them, as
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: you know, is Elon Musk for exposing the company. And
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: if you miss, by the way, part one or part
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: two of our deep dive into the Twitter files, make
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: sure you go back and download our podcasts and listen
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: to part one in part two. Now, as we expose
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: part three today, we are now seeing some basic issues
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: that are showing up about what it means to be
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: an American, what it means to have freedom of speech.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: One Democratic lawmaker has now said that Twitter censorship went
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: not only too far, but it quote is simply not
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: what we do in this country. Representative Rocana is now
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: calling out Twitter and other social media companies after Musk
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: is revealing the conservative blacklist that would basically take away
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: your ability to reach, respond, defend, or expose anything the
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: left didn't want you to do. We also now know
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: that they were silencing and they were censoring different people.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: They were doing it even if they did not in
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: fact violate the terms of service with Twitter. I want
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: you to hear what was said by Rokanna as he
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: was interviewed on Fox News as the first real Democrat
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: to come forward, saying this isn't a Republican or Democrat issue.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: In fact, what this is is about freedom of speech
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: in the United States of America. O'Connor was one of
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the only Democrats to immediately sound the alarm about suppressing
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the Hunter Biden laptop story. The California congressman joins us, now,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: just a little bit from what you said to them,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: that you wrote to them on October fourteenth, twenty twenty,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: this seems a violation of the First Amendment principles to
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: strict the distribution of that material, especially regarding a presidential candidate,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: seems not in keeping of the principles of NYT versus Sullivan.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I say this as a total Biden partisan. The story
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: has now become more about censorship than relatively innocuous emails,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and has become a bigger deal than it would have been.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: So you're a principal person. You understand the Constitution. You
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: tried to warn them. I think they ignored you, and
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: now you have the revelation that actually, yes, it was happening.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Congressman Dana, it's problematic. Look, technically, they're private actors, but
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: they're effectively a modern public square and they should not
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: be engaged in censorship. Now. It's one thing for them
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: to say, don't put up sensational pictures of Hunter Biden.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I understand that, but to censor the New York Post. Look,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the New York Post hasn't written a positive article about me,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I think in my six years in Congress. But I
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: would never dream of saying shut them down or don't
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: allow them to publish articles. I mean, that's the whole
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: essence of democracy, and we need to stand up for
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the First Amendment. As there are some that are out
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: there saying that. Well, before they would say that anybody
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: who thought conservatives were being in shadow ban on Twitter,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: that that was just being paranoid, And now they're saying, well,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: of course they de amplified the hard right and that
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: was the right thing to do. I don't know if
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: that's the best place to land if you're actually concerned
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: about democracy and freedom of speech. Do you think Elon
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Musk is doing a good thing by releasing this information?
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I go. I do think we have to have transparency.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: And there are two conflicting values that day night. On
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the one hand, we shouldn't be censoring people and shouldn't
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: be censoring then based on viewpoint. What concerns me with
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the second release of the Twitter files is it seems
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: to some people are being censored or a de amplified
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: because of their beliefs. Another thing is to have respect,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: and I don't think you want these sites to have
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: anti semitism or racism. But my understanding is it's going
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: beyond that. It's not just that they're taking down speech
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: that has hate and Elon Muski said he wants to
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: take that down. It's that they're sensoring based on viewpoint,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: and that's simply not what we do in this country.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I love that a democrat like Rocana is coming out
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: and saying this, it's simply not what we do in
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: this country. The whole essence of democracy, he says, is
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: something that we need to stand up for, and that
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: is the first amendment. He said. I would never dream
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: of saying shut them down or don't allow them to
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: publish articles referring to the press, and we now know
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: that is exactly what happened. We also again have to
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: go back to what happened, for example, with Dan Bongino.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: He wasn't silence for any other reason. That he was
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: reaching people, he was changing hearts and minds. He was
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: an individual. They decided to banish from from Twitter without
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: actually banishing him. They decided that what he had to
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: say was too important, too impactful, too powerful, and they
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: couldn't handle it. So when you went to search, you
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: just couldn't find him. When you went to search for
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: his tweets, you just couldn't find him. And that is
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: exactly what has happened with the next phase of these
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Twitter files that have been released. We are now seeing
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: that this was an all out war on freedom of speech.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: It was an all out war on the ability for
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: conservatives to say things they need to say. We also
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: now know that many people who were actually in the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: government have been vindicated. I'll give you a great example
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: of that. Former Director of National Intelligence John Radcliffe has
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: come out claiming vindication for the Trump administration after the
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: latest Twitter file revelation showed how Twitter's standards had eroded
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: in the weeks leading up to the twenty twenty presidential election.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: He said, what I said as the National Director of
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: National Intelligence in October of twenty twenty was proven true.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: The IC had zero intelligence. I see, intelligence community had
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: zero intelligence supporting a false narrative that the Biden laptop
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: was Russian disinformation. Nobody in the intelligence community had authority
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: to say otherwise. Now this brings us to the bigger story. Now, Radcliffe,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: as the former top intelligence official. He was responding to
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the sub stack journalist Matt Taibi's latest thread on the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Twitter files, which confirmed that Twitter head of safety Yol Roth,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: had met not only with the FBI, but had met
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: with the Department of Homeland Security and had also met
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: had discussions about the Hunter Biden laptop story. Tabe and
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: a handful of other independent reporters have been given exclusive
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: access to all of these internal documents and all these
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: internal communications from Elon Musk at Twitter. They have shared
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: now how Twitter were to suppress the New York Post
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Hunter Biden reporting under disingenuous pretenses, suppressing the visibility of
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: conservative users, and not just that, but violated the company's
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: own policies while working in conjunction with federal agencies. Now,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: after the New York Post revealed that Hunter Biden's laptop
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: contained evidence that he, his father and his uncle had
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: leveraged his father's position as the vice president back then
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: to make millions and millions and millions and millions and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: millions of dollars for the Biden crime family with foreign associates.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Twitter then decided to suppress the story and even limited
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the ability of users to share it and direct messages.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: They use their technology that they typically would use to
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: stop the spread of child pornography to stop conservatives from
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: spreading a legitimate news story they knew could make it
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: where Donald Trump would win and Joe Biden would lose.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Why did they do it? They claimed that it violated
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: rule against posting hacked materials, even though they and the
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: government knew it was not hacked material. The Twitter files
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: have also exposed that the company's purported reasons for censoring
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the story were bogus. But of course the national press
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: at the time said, oh no, no, we're going to
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: dismiss the story as unsubstantiated, so therefore we don't actually
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: have to report on it. Why did they do that?
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Now this brings in a bigger part of the story,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to take you back and remind you
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: when the hunter bid laptop story broke, you then had
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: fifty one former top intelligence officials. Within that fifty plus group,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: you had five former CIA directors or acting directors. That's
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of people in the intelligence community. Five former
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: CIA directors who signed a letter claiming that the reported
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: materials from Hunter Biden's laptop appeared to be quote, Russian disinformation.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: They put this out giving cover for the media to
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: not touch the story, saying that this is Russian collusion,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Russian disinformation. You shouldn't write about it, you shouldn't talk
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: about it, should all just disappear. Well, we know that
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: some of the people, for a fact, in that fifty
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: plus group of former intelligence officials, they actually knew the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: story was real. They knew it because they were in
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: the intelligence community when they got ahold of the laptop
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: a year earlier, and they understood and still had security clearance,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: and they had people that were feeding them information. They
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: knew this story was legitimate. So they lied to the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: American people. And that's when John Ratcliffe he forcefully spoke
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: out against the claim. In October of twenty twenty, he
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: said Hunter Biden's laptop is not part of some Russian
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: disinformation campaign. He then went on to say, let me
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: be clear, the intelligence community doesn't believe that, because there
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: is no intelligence that supports that. Now, before I get
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: into more of that, I want to tell you about
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: our friends over at Patriot Mobile real quick. You may
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: see a lot of bait and switch offers for free phones,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: free iPhones. Well, they're usually too good to be true.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Just like freedom itself, nothing is free. Mobile phone companies
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: not only lock you into long term contracts, but they
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: also build the price the phone into your bill with
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: hidden fees. With Patriot Mobile, they can show you how
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: to get that same iPhone interest free without the games

  Speaker 1: seven to Patriot. Now, I want to hit pause for
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: just a moment on the Twitter files, and I'm going
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: to go back to some of the new revelations. But
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: let me just remind you why all of this matters.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Hunter Biden right now apparently is selling artwork for hundreds
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: and hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars. Biden's art
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: worth worth that much now. But we also know that
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: people in the art business use it to funnel money,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: to wash money, to clean money. It's a way to
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: money launder to different people. That's what we know for
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: a fact. And what we are now seeing is Hunter Biden,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: this is the new way that he can make cash.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: He can't do as many deals as he was doing
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: before the way he was doing them because everybody's now
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: watching him. So how do you keep the family business going?
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: How do you keep the coffers filled with cash? How
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: do you capitalize on what's happening right now? You do
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: what you can to get every dime. If you're running
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: a crime family business like Hunter Biden is, while your
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: dad's a president, and when you need people to give
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: you money and they can't just write you a check
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: or put you on a board anymore, your option is
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: to figure out a way to clean that money and
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: figure out a way to bring it in. And they've
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: figured it out. They figured it out by doing exactly
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: what many other shady businessmen do around the world. You
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: buy art, or in this case, you sell art, and
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: you don't have to disclose who bought it or where
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the funds came from. Now, there have been some leaks
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: that have come out that a lot of the art
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: is being sold into China. Why, well, clearly China is
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: in business with a Biden crime family. We know this
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: from the loans, We know this from their emails, we
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: know this from their business structures. We know this from
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Tony Bobolenski, we know this from other whistleblowers, and we
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: know it from the cash and receipts that were all
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: left on his laptop but how is he still doing
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: it when you know the end is in sight and
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: there's a good chance that your dad may not run
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: for reelection, and you look at his age, and you're
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: not a legitimate businessman, and he's clearly not a legitimate businessman.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: You do whatever the hell you have to do to
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: survive in the shady world. Take a listen to this
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: about the and this is again happening right now in
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: America in December of twenty twenty two. This is not
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: years ago, this is right now. Art City Art Gallery
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: unveiling a new painting by Hunter Biden. And the asking
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: price is two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars. Do
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: mean Fayla is a host of Fox across America. That's
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: a lot. That's big money. And if you think the
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: price is high, you should meet the painter. Hey, everybody, goodness,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: say you come on now. But the reason this is
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: it does look bad like no administration has ever cared
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: less about optics than this one. Because I think the
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: belief is they don't expect backlash from the press. But understand,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: prior to Joe Biden becoming the president, there was no
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: market for Hunter Biden. Okay, he wasn't a known commodity
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: in the art world. The only thing he was known for,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: forgive me, is painting the town. Okay, there was no
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: demand for this, so it looks a little ridiculous that
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: they might be peddling a little influence here. And this
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: very much overlaps with the accusation and the Hunter Biden
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: laptop that these guys just traded on the name. At
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: the very least, they seem to be doing that here
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: two for two and answer number one. That's like his
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: version of story story nine. Ye. So apparently the guy
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: run the gallery says Hunter has been a painter for
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: a year. He's an oddest. Yeah, okay, he's always been
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: an odd ust. But there is a difference between painting
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: on your own and saying, Okay, that's all I'm going
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: to do and I'm just going to be an odd Yeah.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I don't buy that. Okay, they're not like taking a
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: company public. Everybody wanted a piece of But the one
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: thing is it's only two hundred thousand for Hunter because
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: he's got to give ten percent of the sale of
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: the big He doesn't care. Hunter Biden doesn't care. Joe
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Biden doesn't care. The White House doesn't care. They know
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: what they're doing. This New York City gallery unveiling this
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: new two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars hundred Biden
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: painting and two buyers they claim now are interested. This
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: is about funneling money. Hunter Biden painting is selling for
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: the price of a house. This is a guy that
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: had no experience in art and the most expensive artwork.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: The first Soun's New Soho show is price at two
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: twenty five On Saturday, a gallery worker refused to give
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: The New York Post details. Potential buyer of the unentitled
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: fifty seven by ninety eight inch mustard yellow yellow floral
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: painting on Japanese paper called Upo. President Biden's scandaled Scarred
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: son sold two other works a day after his second
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: solo art show opened at the Georgia's Burgess Gallery on Friday.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Unlike last year's debut of Biden's artwork, which was by
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: invitation only, the News show is open to the public
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: and features much stronger work. They claim, I want everyone
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: to see his art, The gallery owner told the Post.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: The first show was successful. We achieved what we wanted
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: from the exhibition. This exhibition shows a stronger confidence. Burgess
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: has refused to elaborate on which paintings sold and who
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: the buyers were. Paintings and last year's show range from
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: seventy five thousand for works on paper to five hundred
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: thousand for large canvases. What do the paintings look like?
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: They look like a nine year old painting? To be
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: honest with you, policy of not publicly naming purchasers and
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: what they paid was highly controversial, with some critics saying
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: it could lead to quote anonymous influence peddling, influence buying
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: of the Bidens. Well, let's not say it could lead
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: anyone buying these paintings. That's exactly what they are doing.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Burgess told the Post that he has several paintings in
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: the galleries basement that Biden finished more than twenty years ago.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Proof He said that he has worked most of his
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: life to be an artist. Okay, sure, I believe you.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: He's always been an artist. Burgess said. The difference is
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: where we are being misconstrued that when he focused his
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: whole life on art, they took it to being he
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: just started doing art. But there is a difference between
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: painting on your own and saying, Okay, that's all I'm
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: going to do, and I'm just going to be an artist.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: And now he says, these pieces of art are incredible. Hunter,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: his wife Melissa, and their toddler son Bow, attended the
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: opening on Thursday and exclusive friends and family viewing, as
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: they called it, Thursday Soft opening featured Biden's newest abstract works,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: which depict flowers and birds. Many of the paintings are
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: done on sheet metal, and the paintings would be more
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: than well above average and popularity specifically in China. As
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: one art critics said, China loves these types of paintings.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: They love flowers, they love birds, and they love the
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: bright colors. I painted and washed. I painted and washed
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: it off, Biden told a group of spectators Thursday night,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: in describing how he created the layers and splotches on
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: a work in the series devoted to Japanese poetry. Yeah,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Japanese Poetry. Burgess said that the paintings were a form
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: of self reflection for Biden, who has been amassed in
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: an ongoing investigation into his financial dealings with Ukraine and
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: specifically China. Burgess said that he is already fielding a
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: great deal of interest from Biden collectors, saying quote, I
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: think in many ways this show has started off on
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: a better foot than the last one. Just the interest.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: He has a collector base of people who really like
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: his work. Well, is it an America? Doesn't sound like it.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: The entire collection was about selling it to China. The
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: White House has said the measures have been put in place.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Major measures have been put in place to prevent any
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: ethical concerns over quote potential buyers who might want to
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: buy the work to curry favor with President Biden. Yes,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: because these safeguards have worked so well in the past. Now,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: the gallery says they believe that he will be able
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: to make seven figures in about a week off of
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: these paintings. Now, as this news broke, some of Hunter
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Biden's allies are now up making plans to go after accusers.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: We now know that array of groups are preparing to
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: defend the present Sons against the gop Onslot when they
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: take back control of the house. Hunter Biden's friend and
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: lawyer Kevin Morris, was blunt and laying out his thoughts
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: at a strategy session last September on an expected onslought
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: of investigation investigations by House Republicans. It was crucial Morris
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: suggested for Hunter Biden camp to be more aggressive. Morris,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: at a meeting in his California home, described defamation lawsuits
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: the team could pursue against the presidential son's critics, including
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Fox News, Eric Trump, and Rudy Giuliani. He outlined extensive
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: research on two potential witnesses against Hunter Biden, a spurned
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: business partner named Tony Bobo Lensky and a computer repairman
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: named John Paul mac Isaac. At one point, Hunter Biden
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: himself happened to call into the meeting, connecting briefly by
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: video to add his own thought quote, they feel that
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: there is a whole counter narrative missing because of the
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: whole Hunter hater narrative out there. A liberal activist, David Brock,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: who attended the meeting set what we're what we really
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: got into was more the meat of it, the meat
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: of what a response would look like. Brock was planning
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: for a new group quote Facts First USA focus on
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: fighting the Loominghouse GOP investigations. I love it, Facts First USA,
• 21:28

• 22:52
  Speaker 1: these Democrats had was a meeting that they wanted to
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: have so they could put it out to the public
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: and say, hey, this is a glimpse to the infrastructure
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: that we're gonna come after Republicans with. In essence, we're
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: gonna blackmail you, We're going to expose you. We're gonna
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: make sure that you hurt if you come after Hunter Biden,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: James Biden or Joe Biden. If you think you can
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: get away with this, you're just wrong. We're not gonna
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: let you get away with this. There were Democrats that
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: actually went on TV this weekend talking about how they're
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: going to come after and hurt people. One Democratic slime merchant,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: David Brock, vowed to this dirt on Republicans if they
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: probe Hunter Biden, a threat that he made on MSNBC.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Take a listen, and we start with the latest around
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Hunter Biden. According to new reporting in The Washington Post,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: a coalition of Hunter's allies won't sit quietly as Republicans
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: prepared to make him a national figure in their investigations
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: when they take over the House in just a few weeks.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: For years that has claimed the president's son has traded
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: on his name in shady business deals and that President
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Biden is culpable for his son's alleged misconduct. The Bidens
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: have denied any wrongdoing. Joining me now is one of
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: those allies. David Brock, President of Facts First USA. David,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: thank you very much for coming to the Sunday Show.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Thanks for having me on. Okay, So why go on offense?
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Why not keep a low profile? Well, look, I have
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: been in right wing media. I've studied right wing media
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: for twenty years. A Missouries August, I knew what was coming.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: We can't wish this away. We know what they're going
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: to do. They've announced what they're going to do. The
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: first press conference they had out of the box was
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: about Hunter Biden. So Democrats are not putting Hunter Biden
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: front and center. Republicans are. And we also know that
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: this has been asked and answered in twenty twenty. It's
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: been investigated at nauseum. It's been looked at by a
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Senate committee by Rupert Murdock's well speet journal. They found nothing.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: So I met with Hunter Biden and as lawyers back
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: in September as part of the due diligence for this project,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: and I came out of that Jonathan very confident that
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: we are going to be able to show over time
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: that this is nothing but a bunch of recycled conspiracy theories,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: and they're going to hurt themselves, I think by investigating this,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, part of the
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: story is is kind of a sick politics of demonizing
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: addiction and mental health issues and that are in many,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: many families. We know that by the way you can
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: hear this is what they're going to stick with. You
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: can hear it in the way that they described this.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: I told you from the very beginning, this is what
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: they were going to do. They were going to say, Wow,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: this is just a guy who had an addiction problem.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: He was an addict. He's overcome so much. He didn't
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: really know what he was doing and everything was totally fine,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: And how dare you how dare you pick on somebody
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: that lost his brother, that had mental health issues and
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: was a drug at it. You can't hold him accountable
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: for what he was doing. This is a great guy
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: that has overcome so much. That's they're going to be
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: their defense the entire time. But what you're also hearing
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: from this SLI merchant David Brock is the warning we've
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: got dirt or he's threatening that he has dirt on Republicans,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: and if you guys move forward and try to pull
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: this off, it's going to be game over for you. Guys.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: We will come after you and ruin your lives. Personally,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: the laptop shows that President Biden was an empathetic father
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: trying to help his son. We don't need a congressional
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: investigation for that, Jonathan, but we're unfortunately going to have one,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: and we're going to have one because Kevin McCarthy can't
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: get to two hundred and eighteen votes and so he's
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: making this corrupt bargain all these deals on the side
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: with Marjorie Taylor Green and Gosar to have more aggressive
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: investigations to change rules. Everything they want. They're getting the
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Magga extremists, and we need to educate the public about
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: what's behind us. That's why I need you to tell
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: me more about this meeting you said you had in
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: September sure what you described as a due diligence meeting
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: with Hunter Biden mother. You have to understand how much
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: propaganda this is, right, MSNBC says, we're going to give
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: you as much time as you need to come on
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: and talk about how and reframe what this attack on
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's going to be. And he said, sure, we've
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: started a political basically war room facts. First, We're going
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: to tell people this is propaganda from the right. None
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: of this is real, none of this actually matters. So
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: remember this as the Republicans take control of the House
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: and when they start investigating. Which brings me back to
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: the Twitter files. Tuger Carlson had a very interesting take
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: on the Twitter files and the drop of some of
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: the new information, specifically Part two, and I want you
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: to hear what he had to say. Barry Weiss of
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Substack began posting part two of the Twitter files. Now,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: these are assessments of internal documents from Twitter that been
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: hidden under previous management but are now being exposed by
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk, who just bought the company. So first, Musk
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: last week gave a troph of documents to Tabe of
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: subjecon out of Barry Weis. Weiss is unpacking all of
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: this right now live on Twitter in a Twitter thread.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: What she has revealed so far confirms what many suspected
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: but none new for certain, which is that Twitter routinely
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: censored prominent critics of the Biden administration, did so in secret,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: without telling anyone, and with no factual justification whatsoever. This
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: is known as shadow banning. Twitter did it all the time.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Now publicly they denied doing it. People who were being
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: shadow ban suspected something was up, but they didn't know. Now. Officially,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Twitter's chief legal officer chief censor at Twitter, Va Jagatte,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: a woman who was rewarded by the Biden administration for
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: her work on their behalf, said that quote, we do
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: not shadow ban, and we certainly don't shadow ban based
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: on political viewpoints or ideologies. That's what she said. That
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: was a lie, And the documents that Barry Weiss is
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: posting right now, including screenshots of Twitter's internal censorship tools,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: proved that it was a lie. One of Twitter's targets
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: for shadow banning was a Stanford professor, a physician, PhD.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Called Jay Bodachara one of the most impressive people in
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: American medicine, someone we've had on this show many many times.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: There was no justification for censoring Jay Badachara, except he
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: was one of the authors the Great Barrington Declaration, which
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: very early in the so called pandemic, infuriated our country's
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: public health establishment, including Tony Faucci, by opposing COVID lockdowns.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Jay Badachara has spent his career studying the health effects
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: of various policies on vulnerable populations. So he knew that
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: COVID lockdowns would harm children, and he said so that
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: has turned out to be true. But Twitter, doubtless, at
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: the request of the authorities, shadow band Professor Badachar Stanford
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: for saying this out loud. They prevented his tweets from trending,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: and that meant that most users could not see his
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: tweets though they were factual. Twitter also shadow band foxes
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Dan Bongino. According to Weiss, Twitter at one point slapt
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: by Gino with a search band that made it impossible
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: for users of Twitter to find tweets by Dan Bongino
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: because they were inaccurate. No, because they were accurate. That
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: was the crime. That's always the crime. They never punish
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: you for lying, They only punish you for telling the truth.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Twitter also flagged Charlie Kirk's account with a do not
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: amplify tag Weiss reports the quote. The group that decided
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: whether to limit the reach of certain users was the
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Strategic Response Team Global Escalation Team or srt GET. The
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: team often handled up to two hundred separate cases a day.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Another group within Twitter called Site Integrity Policy, Policy Escalation Support.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Not just the bureaucratic handles here, it's like the military.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: That group also hadn't handled shadow banding, and that group
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: included GODA as well as Twitter executives Uel Roth and
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Prague Aggerwall, who ran the company. None of this has
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: been previously known. It was never disclosed to the public voice.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: The threat is ongoing, it's being updated as we speak,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: and of course we'll bring you more information as we
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: get it. You hear, and you put all this in perspective,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: and what we're gonna end up seeing next and these
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Twitter files and we're going to have this for you
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: tomorrow is what they did to silence and censor people
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: when it came down to the issue of COVID, when
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: important people said important things online that went against the regime.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: What happened. Fauci and others just send emails and said,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: shut down this person, silence this person, shadow band this
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: person and make sure that all of this really just
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: goes away. If you had a question that you asked,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: just a basic question, they would do the same exact thing.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: They would silence you, they would censor you, They would
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: say you can't ask that question. You can't ask or
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: talk about that. This is Twitter, each and every day. Lastly,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: what we know now for a fact is that this
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: was all being done by government officials, Okay, government officials
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: who absolutely loved getting emails from the deep state, from
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: the FBI, the dj the CIA, whoever wanted to send
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: them an email telling them whatever it was that they
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: wanted them to do, from the White House, from presidential campaigns,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: from candidates, the list goes on and on. They loved
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: all of that. And now we know that every single
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: thing the Conservatives and Republicans said was happening to them,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: happening to them in real time, was actually happening to
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: them in real time. Dan Bongina, you couldn't find him
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: when he said it. What did people say, Oh, he's
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: a kook, he's a conspiracy theorist, he's a nut job,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: he's crazy. Right, just a Twitter account. Shut up, sit down,
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: and be silent. We know that he was right. Not
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: only was he right, but every other Republican out there
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: that thought that their account was being screwed with was
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: also right. And it's not just Twitter. I'm gonna say
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: it now, It's not just Twitter. It's gonna end up
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: being Google. It's gonna end up being YouTube, and it's
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: gonna end up being Instagram, and it's gonna end up
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: being Facebook, and it's gonna end up being TikTok. You watch,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: it will come out and hopefully there will be brave
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: men and women who are willing to expose those agencies.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: I said this before. We're going to cover this every day.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: So if you missed any of our podcast Part one
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: and Part two, go back down with the Ben Ferguson Podcasts.
• 33:38
