PSYCHOTIC: FBI Dir. Wray REFUSES to admit the Hunter Biden Laptop is real! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:00
Speaker 1: The FBI Director Ray was grilled on Capitol Hill specifically
0:06
Speaker 1: about Hunter Biden, the Hunter Biden laptop, and the mar
0:10
Speaker 1: Lago search. It didn't go well for the director, and
0:15
Speaker 1: part of it is because he couldn't tell the truth.
0:18
Speaker 1: The House Republican Conference chairwoman was questioning the FBI director
0:24
Speaker 1: on the ongoing investigation of Hunter Biden and the search
0:27
Speaker 1: of the former President Trump's mar Lago estate for classified documents,
0:32
Speaker 1: and I want you to hear part of what the
0:34
Speaker 1: FBI director had to say forward. Do you believe the
0:38
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden laptop story is disinformation? Well, I want to
0:43
Speaker 1: be careful about there is an ongoing investigation that is
0:45
Speaker 1: relevant to that, so I have to be careful of
0:47
Speaker 1: what I can share on that here. Do you believe
0:50
Speaker 1: the Hunter Biden laptop story is disinformation? I don't think
0:53
Speaker 1: there's anything I can share on that in open setting.
0:56
Speaker 1: Were you aware that the FBI personnel were in contact
0:59
Speaker 1: with Twitter darting the Hunter Biden laptop story. I don't
1:03
Speaker 1: believe FBI personnel we're in contact with Twitter about the
1:07
Speaker 1: hundred laptop story. Specifically, I think there were people in
1:10
Speaker 1: contact with Twitter about Russian disinformation efforts of now, let's
1:17
Speaker 1: just pause. There. You have an FBI director that won't
1:21
Speaker 1: even tell you even after the whole world and the
1:24
Speaker 1: and the Biden administration have it minted. Okay, they have
1:29
Speaker 1: it minted that the Hunter Biden laptop is real. The
1:33
Speaker 1: court filing show that it's real. The Biden team fighting
1:37
Speaker 1: back over what's in the laptop again proving that it
1:41
Speaker 1: is real, and he refuses to say that it is real,
1:45
Speaker 1: which again is completely and utterly insane. But listen to
1:50
Speaker 1: this FBI director again. He's supposed to be a man
1:54
Speaker 1: of the United States government that represents all people in
1:57
Speaker 1: law enforcement. Clearly not more than a political hack. Continue
2:02
Speaker 1: to listen of which the Hunter Biden laptop story was
2:06
Speaker 1: included according to the FBI. Well, I think I don't
2:09
Speaker 1: know exactly what you're looking at, but I'm happy to
2:11
Speaker 1: talk about what it is the FBI does and does
2:13
Speaker 1: not do with respect to social media companies. Were you
2:18
Speaker 1: aware that the FBI had Hunter Biden's laptop since December
2:21
Speaker 1: of twenty nineteen. I can't speak to exactly when we
2:25
Speaker 1: had a laptop available. There is a there is, as
2:28
Speaker 1: you know, there is an ongoing investigation run by the
2:32
Speaker 1: US attorney out of Delaware from the prior administration that
2:35
Speaker 1: we continue to work very closely with, and we had
2:38
Speaker 1: an ongoing investigation as well, and our Baltimore Field office
2:41
Speaker 1: is working very hard with that US attorney and I
2:44
Speaker 1: expect them to pursue that case as far as it takes. Stonewalling,
2:49
Speaker 1: Director Ray, the American people deserve answers and this is unacceptable. Lastly,
2:54
Speaker 1: did you sign off on the Mara Lago raid? Well,
2:59
Speaker 1: first off, it was not a raid, it was an
3:01
Speaker 1: execution of a search warrant. Did you sef on the
3:03
Speaker 1: execucution of the search warranty? Finish? Second, I don't sign
3:08
Speaker 1: off on individual search warrants in that case or in
3:11
Speaker 1: any other. Did Attorney General Merrick Garland sign off to
3:15
Speaker 1: your awareness? I can't speak to the Attorney General. Was
3:18
Speaker 1: there dissent at senior levels of the FBI about the
3:20
Speaker 1: conducting of the of the search warrant? I can't speak
3:25
Speaker 1: to internal discussions among the FBI or among the FBI
3:29
Speaker 1: and the Department of Even though it's been reported in
3:31
Speaker 1: the Washington Post, there are lots of things reported in
3:33
Speaker 1: the media I know leaked from your agency. Leak from
3:35
Speaker 1: your agency frequently it's reported in the washing accurate. It
3:39
Speaker 1: may or may not be accurate, but that a yield
3:40
Speaker 1: back there it is. It's the guy that clearly is saying,
3:45
Speaker 1: screw you. I can do whatever I want to do.
3:48
Speaker 1: My FBI can do whatever it wants to do. We
3:50
Speaker 1: can raid anyone's talents at any moment of any day,
3:52
Speaker 1: and there's nothing you can do to stop us. And
3:55
Speaker 1: if you ask us about it, we're not gonna say
3:57
Speaker 1: a damn thing. Now, before I get more of this story,
4:00
Speaker 1: I want to say thank you and tell you about
4:02
Speaker 1: our good friends at the Gusts of Precious Medals. They
4:05
Speaker 1: are different because they will even tell you if a
4:07
Speaker 1: gold ira isn't your answer, they give you just the facts. Now.
4:12
Speaker 1: Gust of Precious Metal is all about protecting your IRA
4:16
Speaker 1: and your four oh one k. They're great people a
4:19
Speaker 1: great conservative company. They're great people at a great conservative company.
4:26
Speaker 1: They understand right now that it's crazy with our economy,
4:29
Speaker 1: and it's extremely important, especially if you're close to retirement,
4:33
Speaker 1: to protect your assets because there's no time to make
4:35
Speaker 1: up losses. So if you've saved one hundred thousand dollars
4:39
Speaker 1: or more, then you should take a look at their
4:41
Speaker 1: free guide and you should really sign up for something
4:45
Speaker 1: that I've done. It's a web conference where you talk
4:47
Speaker 1: to a top individual about gold iras and your four
4:52
Speaker 1: oh one k Check them out and get the peace
4:55
Speaker 1: of mind that you're protecting your hard earned assets when
4:57
Speaker 1: you get really close to retirement eight seven seven four
5:02
Speaker 1: the number four gold IRA eight seven seven four gold IRA,
5:08
Speaker 1: or visit them online at Augusta Precious Metals dot Com.
5:11
Speaker 1: Say I sent you, and they will pay your fees
5:14
Speaker 1: for up to ten years. That's Augusta Precious Metals dot Com.
5:17
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven four gold IRA. Now I go back
5:22
Speaker 1: to that part of that question. The FBI director was
5:25
Speaker 1: asked if he or the Attorney General Garland signed off
5:29
Speaker 1: on the raid of President Trump's home. Listen carefully to
5:32
Speaker 1: that response again. Lastly, did you sign off on the
5:35
Speaker 1: Marlago raid? Well, first off, it was not a raid,
5:40
Speaker 1: It was an execution of a search warrant. Did you
5:42
Speaker 1: sign off on the execution of the search warrant? Finish? Second,
5:47
Speaker 1: I don't sign off on individual search warrants in that
5:50
Speaker 1: case or in any other. I want to be clear
5:53
Speaker 1: about this for me to believe what he is saying,
5:57
Speaker 1: right there, you would have to believe that he was
5:59
Speaker 1: on the outside looking in. Okay, that he would have
6:06
Speaker 1: to be on the outside looking in when the President
6:13
Speaker 1: of the United States of America, former President Donald Trump's
6:15
Speaker 1: home is being rated by his FBI. The idea that
6:19
Speaker 1: he wouldn't know about it is total insanity. The idea
6:26
Speaker 1: that he would somehow be separated from it, where his
6:31
Speaker 1: FBI agents could literally go down to Marlago, where they
6:36
Speaker 1: had to coordinate with the Secret Service on the timing
6:41
Speaker 1: of this search, and they would have had to have
6:44
Speaker 1: done it without him knowing about it. That's what they're
6:47
Speaker 1: asking you to believe. I think we can all agree
6:51
Speaker 1: there's no chance, shut in hell, that this is accurate.
6:55
Speaker 1: There's no way that I believe for a moment the
6:57
Speaker 1: FBI director, when the FBI is about to raid the
7:00
Speaker 1: former president nited to America, America's a state at mar Lago.
7:05
Speaker 1: There's no way that I would believe this is accurate.
7:10
Speaker 1: Yet here we are in La La Land, and this
7:12
Speaker 1: is the conversation that he's having before Congress. I don't
7:16
Speaker 1: sign off on that. So what do you sign off on?
7:19
Speaker 1: If this is below your pay grade? Right? As you're
7:23
Speaker 1: trying to imply this is just another normal day in
7:26
Speaker 1: the office. It's a normal day where we're raiding former
7:29
Speaker 1: presidents homes, unprecedented normal days. Don't forget that this would
7:35
Speaker 1: be an unprecedented normal day. You want me to believe
7:42
Speaker 1: that this just went down and you read about it
7:43
Speaker 1: in the newspaper, that you had no clue this was happening.
7:50
Speaker 1: You had no idea that it was going down this way,
7:53
Speaker 1: no clue at all. Really, this is this is what
7:56
Speaker 1: you want me to believe. I'm not buying it for
8:00
Speaker 1: a second. I don't believe it. I think you're totally
8:04
Speaker 1: full of crap, and I think you're lying to the
8:06
Speaker 1: American people. That is my gut. But the FBI director
8:12
Speaker 1: will sit there and stare you straight in the face
8:15
Speaker 1: and tell you this. I can't speak about exactly what
8:18
Speaker 1: had what's going on with this, and I can't speak
8:21
Speaker 1: about what's happening with another major story. The other major
8:24
Speaker 1: story deals with Hunter Biden. At least he's consistent. What
8:27
Speaker 1: did he say about Hunter Biden and the laptop? Listen,
8:30
Speaker 1: were you aware that the FBI personnel were in contact
8:33
Speaker 1: with Twitter regarding the Hunter Biden laptop story. I don't
8:38
Speaker 1: believe the FBI personnel we're in contact with Twitter about
8:42
Speaker 1: the hundred laptop story. Specifically, I think there were people
8:45
Speaker 1: in contact with Twitter about Russian disinformation efforts. Were you
8:49
Speaker 1: aware that the FBI had Hunter Biden's laptop since December
8:52
Speaker 1: of twenty nineteen. I can't speak to exactly when we
8:55
Speaker 1: had a laptop available. Is stonewalling. Director Ray, The Erican
9:00
Speaker 1: people deserve answers, and this is unacceptable. She's right, he's
9:06
Speaker 1: not answering anything. Simple question. Were you aware that the
9:10
Speaker 1: FBI had Hunter Biden's laptop since December twenty nineteen? The
9:13
Speaker 1: FBI dirt says, I can't speak to exactly when we
9:16
Speaker 1: had the laptop available. Did you know that they were
9:19
Speaker 1: talking with Twitter and trying to suppress stories on Hunter Biden?
9:22
Speaker 1: He says no that I don't. I don't know. I'm
9:25
Speaker 1: not really sure. I can't answer that question ongoing investigation.
9:29
Speaker 1: To have this type of arrogance, specifically this type and
9:37
Speaker 1: this level of arrogance in front of Congress tells you
9:42
Speaker 1: he knows he has ultimate job security. He knows that
9:48
Speaker 1: there's nothing that he can do wrong, that they've got
9:52
Speaker 1: his back, that the Deep State has got his back
9:59
Speaker 1: that they are going to make sure that he doesn't
10:02
Speaker 1: lose his job over this, go down over this, and
10:04
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to answer any questions at all about this.
10:09
Speaker 1: That is what this really boils down to. And this
10:14
Speaker 1: is an FBI director that has no problem raiding people's
10:17
Speaker 1: homes who he doesn't like, locking people up that didn't
10:21
Speaker 1: seem to actually commit Hainah's crimes like domestic terrorists. On
10:24
Speaker 1: January sixth, from the new investigation or the new videos,
10:27
Speaker 1: I should say, we're showing on Fox News channel on this,
10:31
Speaker 1: he'll raid their houses, he'll lock them up. But when
10:34
Speaker 1: you have clear, clear abuse of power at the hands
10:39
Speaker 1: of the deep state and at the hands of the
10:42
Speaker 1: Biden crime family, I can't talk about that. Oh I
10:44
Speaker 1: don't know about that. Oh I can't say anything about that.
10:49
Speaker 1: You gotta look at the full context of the FBI
10:52
Speaker 1: director's comments today in Washington to also understand a broader
10:56
Speaker 1: picture of where we are with this government. A government
11:02
Speaker 1: that I'm supposed to trust, a government that I'm supposed
11:04
Speaker 1: to respect, and a government that I'm supposed to believe
11:08
Speaker 1: is actually there to look out for the interests of
11:10
Speaker 1: all Americans, look at what we've seen from the full
11:15
Speaker 1: January the sixth video. Our government lied to us, lied
11:20
Speaker 1: about what happened, light about when it happened, light about
11:22
Speaker 1: who was doing what, when, where and how on January
11:26
Speaker 1: the six We now know they clearly locked people up
11:29
Speaker 1: from January six for years and years and years who
11:32
Speaker 1: were terrified of their government, instead of having to not
11:36
Speaker 1: having to worry about being protected by their government, who
11:41
Speaker 1: took bad deals And I've gone to jail for a
11:44
Speaker 1: really long time because they had a government that they
11:48
Speaker 1: couldn't trust. And now many of them that are sitting
11:51
Speaker 1: there that took these bad deals are seeing this video
11:53
Speaker 1: and they're going, are you kidding me? But they were
11:57
Speaker 1: never given the information that the American people are now seeing.
12:01
Speaker 1: You look at the Twitter files. Matt Tabe, one of
12:04
Speaker 1: the reporters, an incredible journalist who was chosen to unlock
12:10
Speaker 1: those Twitter files and tell people what was actually happening
12:13
Speaker 1: at Twitter. He actually testified before Congress. I'm gonna get
12:16
Speaker 1: to that in a moment, but let me also remind
12:20
Speaker 1: you about the FBI whistleblowers who have been whistle blowing
12:22
Speaker 1: about what happened with Hunter Biden what happened with the laptop,
12:26
Speaker 1: what happened with the interviews, what happened with the people
12:28
Speaker 1: that even worked with Hunter Biden who said hey, I've
12:31
Speaker 1: got information. They met with the FBI, and guess what happened.
12:33
Speaker 1: No one ever called them, No one wanted to hear that.
12:37
Speaker 1: Look at what we just saw with the Fiser leaks
12:39
Speaker 1: and now knowing what the government was doing with vaccines,
12:42
Speaker 1: knowing how they were lying to you about the effectiveness
12:44
Speaker 1: about vaccines. Look at doctor Fauci and now what we
12:47
Speaker 1: know about doctor Fauci and the line when it comes
12:50
Speaker 1: to vaccines. So let's move to this other story for
12:55
Speaker 1: a second. Matt tb is an individual who's a journalist.
13:03
Speaker 1: He is a journalist that many would consider to not
13:06
Speaker 1: be a conservative journalist, but just an actual journalist. Okay,
13:10
Speaker 1: And that's good because when you're giving something like this,
13:12
Speaker 1: you want to make sure the person you give it to.
13:15
Speaker 1: These Twitter files they have, they're respected by their colleagues
13:19
Speaker 1: and their peers. Many believe now that the Twitter files
13:22
Speaker 1: have ruined many of their careers because now people are saying, oh,
13:26
Speaker 1: you're a conservative just because you went in read and
13:29
Speaker 1: did stories on what you found which also tells you
13:33
Speaker 1: how sick the media is. Matt Tebe was asked to
13:37
Speaker 1: testify before Congress today as a journalist who's been around
13:43
Speaker 1: for a long time, talking a lot about a lot
13:45
Speaker 1: of different issues, and he made it clear to Congress
13:50
Speaker 1: what he found and how shocked he was about what
13:53
Speaker 1: his government was doing behind the scenes of silence and
13:56
Speaker 1: shutdown in censor people and the deep state and the
14:00
Speaker 1: we're sending emails and communications on a daily basis to
14:03
Speaker 1: get rid of their political opponents. Take a listen to
14:08
Speaker 1: part of his testimony today when he was talking about this.
14:12
Speaker 1: Chairman Jordan, ranking Member Plasket, members of the Select Committee,
14:15
Speaker 1: thank you for having me today. My name is Matt Taavy.
14:18
Speaker 1: I've been a reporter for thirty years and a staunch
14:21
Speaker 1: advocate of the First Amendment. Much of that time was
14:24
Speaker 1: spent at Rolling Stone Magazine. Ranking Member Plasket. I'm not
14:28
Speaker 1: a civil called journalist. I've won the National Magazine Award,
14:32
Speaker 1: the Stone Award for Independent Journalism, and I've written ten books,
14:36
Speaker 1: including four New York New York Times bestsellers. I'm now
14:41
Speaker 1: the editor of the online magazine Racket on the independent
14:44
Speaker 1: platform Substack. By the way, the reason why he said
14:48
Speaker 1: that is because earlier that congresswoman basically said, you're not
14:52
Speaker 1: a journalist because you did a story that I don't like.
14:55
Speaker 1: You've lost your credentials as claiming that you're a journalist
14:59
Speaker 1: because you did a deep dive into actual emails and
15:03
Speaker 1: documents from Twitter and reported on what it said. And
15:07
Speaker 1: so she said, you know, he's not a real journalist.
15:11
Speaker 1: That's why this actual journalists had been doing his entire
15:14
Speaker 1: life shot back at her for what she said about him.
15:18
Speaker 1: I'm here today because of a series of events that
15:20
Speaker 1: began late last year when I received a note from
15:23
Speaker 1: a source online. It read, are you interested in doing
15:26
Speaker 1: a deep dive into what censorship of manipulation was going
15:30
Speaker 1: on at Twitter? A week later, the first of what
15:33
Speaker 1: became known as the Twitter Files reports came out to
15:36
Speaker 1: say these attracted intense public interest. Would be an understatement,
15:40
Speaker 1: my computer looked like a Vega slot machine. As just
15:44
Speaker 1: The first tweet about the blockage of the Hunter Biden
15:46
Speaker 1: laptop story registered one hundred and forty three million impressions
15:50
Speaker 1: and thirty million engagements, But it wasn't until a week
15:54
Speaker 1: after the first report, after Michael Schellenberger Garry Weiss and
15:58
Speaker 1: other researchers joined the circu to the files that we
16:01
Speaker 1: started to grasp the significance of this story. The original
16:05
Speaker 1: promise of the Internet was that it might democratize the
16:08
Speaker 1: exchange of information globally. A free Internet would overwhelm all
16:13
Speaker 1: attempts to control information flow. Its very existence a threat
16:18
Speaker 1: to anti democratic forms of government everywhere. What we found
16:22
Speaker 1: in the files was a sweeping effort to reverse that
16:25
Speaker 1: promise and use machine learning and other tools to turn
16:28
Speaker 1: the Internet into an instrument of censorship and social control. Unfortunately,
16:34
Speaker 1: our own government appears to be playing a lead role.
16:38
Speaker 1: We saw the first Hinson communications between Twitter executives before
16:41
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty election, when we read things like flagged
16:45
Speaker 1: by DHS or please see attached report from FBI for
16:49
Speaker 1: potential misinformation. This would be attached to an Excel spreadsheet
16:53
Speaker 1: with a long list of names whose accounts were often
16:57
Speaker 1: suspended shortly after. Again, Ranking member Plasket I would note
17:01
Speaker 1: that the evidence of Twitter government relationship includes lists of
17:04
Speaker 1: tens of thousands of names on both the left and right.
17:07
Speaker 1: The people affected include Trump supporters, but also left leaning
17:11
Speaker 1: sites like Consortium and truth Out. The leftist South American Channel,
17:16
Speaker 1: teles or the yellow Vest movement that in fact is
17:19
Speaker 1: a key point of the Twitter files that it's neither
17:22
Speaker 1: a left nor right issue. Following the trail of communications
17:26
Speaker 1: between Twitter and the federal government across tens of thousands
17:30
Speaker 1: of emails led to a series of revelations, mister Cherman,
17:33
Speaker 1: we summarized and submitted them to the committee in the
17:36
Speaker 1: form of a new Twitter file Stride, which was also
17:38
Speaker 1: released to the public this morning. We learned Twitter, Facebook, Google,
17:44
Speaker 1: and other companies developed a formal system for taking in
17:47
Speaker 1: moderation requests from every corner of government, from the FBI,
17:52
Speaker 1: the DHS, the HHS, DoD, the Global Engagement Center at State,
17:57
Speaker 1: even the CIA. For every government agency scanning Twitter, there
18:01
Speaker 1: were perhaps twenty quasi private entities doing the same thing,
18:05
Speaker 1: including Stanford's Election Integrity Partnership, News Guard, the Global Disinformation Index,
18:11
Speaker 1: and many others, many taxpayer funded. A focus of this
18:16
Speaker 1: fast growing network, as Mike noted, is making lists of
18:19
Speaker 1: people whose opinions, beliefs, associations, or sympathies are deemed misinformation, disinformation,
18:26
Speaker 1: or malinformation. That last term is just a euphemism for
18:30
Speaker 1: true but inconvenient undeniably, the making of such lists is
18:35
Speaker 1: a form of digital McCarthyism. Ordinary Americans are not just
18:39
Speaker 1: being reported to Twitter for de amplification or deep platforming,
18:43
Speaker 1: but the firms like PayPal, digital advertisers like Xander, and
18:46
Speaker 1: crowdfunding sites like gofund me. These companies can and do
18:50
Speaker 1: refuse service to law abiding people and businesses whose only
18:54
Speaker 1: crime is falling a foul of a distant, faceless, unaccountable algorithm. Judge,
19:02
Speaker 1: to be clear, what this reporter is telling you is
19:05
Speaker 1: exactly what we've been reporting on here. He's telling you
19:09
Speaker 1: that this government of ours that we're supposed to trust
19:14
Speaker 1: is a government that you cannot trust, a government that
19:19
Speaker 1: is actually going to silence you, censor you, send emails
19:23
Speaker 1: to shut you down, and ruin your life or reputation
19:28
Speaker 1: if you get out of line. This the crap people
19:33
Speaker 1: deal with in third world countries and communist countries, not
19:37
Speaker 1: in the United States of America, but now all of
19:41
Speaker 1: us that we're telling you this was happening, and we
19:44
Speaker 1: were telling you what was happening because it was important
19:46
Speaker 1: that you understood that it was happening. It was really
19:50
Speaker 1: important that people understood that we were being silenced and
19:55
Speaker 1: shadow bandony platformed and shut down and accounts suspended. I've
19:59
Speaker 1: ex experience all of that, and if you do it
20:03
Speaker 1: to one person, maybe it doesn't have that much of
20:05
Speaker 1: an impact. But when you're doing it to countless people
20:08
Speaker 1: and doing it to actual stories like the Hunter Biden
20:11
Speaker 1: laptop story, you are altering and changing elections. You're putting
20:16
Speaker 1: your foot on the scale. Mister TV. This journalists also
20:22
Speaker 1: pointed out something else that I want to go back
20:24
Speaker 1: to as well. He was talking about when he was
20:27
Speaker 1: going through these Twitter files and seeing the government clearly altering,
20:35
Speaker 1: manipulating the news cycles, and shutting down people that had
20:38
Speaker 1: a different perspective than them they thought was threatening to
20:41
Speaker 1: their power. Remember, none of this was a threat to
20:44
Speaker 1: the country as a threat to their power. It wasn't
20:46
Speaker 1: just social media that was doing this. Not was let
20:49
Speaker 1: me rephrase that that is currently doing this as we speak.
20:53
Speaker 1: It was all these other app companies that were shutting
20:55
Speaker 1: down and silencing. Now I own a gun store, I've
20:57
Speaker 1: told you that before. You guys know that many of
20:59
Speaker 1: you we've dealt with this with companies that will shut
21:03
Speaker 1: down your accounts, that don't want to do business with you.
21:06
Speaker 1: Because you're a gun story, even though you're doing everything
21:08
Speaker 1: legally right, and that's the right if a bank wants
21:12
Speaker 1: to silence us. But but think about being an individual
21:15
Speaker 1: or small business owner. Think about this idea that all
21:20
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you just because you get on an
21:23
Speaker 1: enemy's list, just like McCarthy did, you now can't do
21:29
Speaker 1: your job. You can't advertise on social media. I had
21:32
Speaker 1: my AD accounts shut down. Had built a business structure
21:35
Speaker 1: around ad accounts several years ago. And this was a
21:40
Speaker 1: seven figure business that was shut down virtually overnight because
21:45
Speaker 1: I lost my ability to advertise because of big Tech.
21:50
Speaker 1: Their goal was to bankrupt me. Their goal was to
21:52
Speaker 1: shut me down. Their goal was to make sure that
21:55
Speaker 1: I was my business was would disappear and they would
21:59
Speaker 1: hurt hurt me financially. That's what happened, by the way,
22:02
Speaker 1: with so many other conservatives as well. And they did
22:09
Speaker 1: this and this is McCarthyism. That is what it is.
22:12
Speaker 1: I want to say it again. It is McCarthyism. That
22:15
Speaker 1: is what it is. And a lot of people look
22:20
Speaker 1: the other way and they think this isn't a big
22:21
Speaker 1: deal until it happens them. Now, it happened to me
22:24
Speaker 1: early on. I got the platform from Facebook, I got
22:28
Speaker 1: shadow band from Twitter, lost five hundred thousand followers overnight.
22:34
Speaker 1: That's not normal, Okay, five hundred thousand people to just
22:38
Speaker 1: randomly decide when it's in a moment in time to
22:40
Speaker 1: go unfollow me. I couldn't advertise and run ads on
22:49
Speaker 1: Facebook and on Instagram. Why Because I was one of
22:53
Speaker 1: those they decided, Okay, we don't like him, we don't
22:56
Speaker 1: like what he's saying, and we're gonna shut him down. Now,
23:02
Speaker 1: luckily I still had this show. But for many that
23:06
Speaker 1: were on social media, it was their livelihood and it
23:08
Speaker 1: was their entire existence. They'd spent years, if not more
23:12
Speaker 1: than a decade, growing their social media audiences and to
23:15
Speaker 1: have it all taken away with it because of one
23:17
Speaker 1: email coming in from one liberal Democrat who says, I
23:21
Speaker 1: don't like this person. You need to shut them down.
23:24
Speaker 1: And then to see their business accounts or small businesses
23:27
Speaker 1: that were shuttered because they couldn't do online business with
23:30
Speaker 1: PayPal and other organizations. That is the picture that he
23:33
Speaker 1: is that he is painting here for you. So I
23:37
Speaker 1: want to go back to that about PayPal and McCarthyism. Listen,
23:40
Speaker 1: undeniably the making of such lists is a form of
23:43
Speaker 1: digital McCarthyism. Ordinary Americans are not just being reported to
23:48
Speaker 1: Twitter for de amplification or deep platforming, but the firms
23:51
Speaker 1: like PayPal, digital advertisers like Xander, and crowdfunding sites like
23:55
Speaker 1: go fund me. These companies can and do refuse service
23:59
Speaker 1: to law abiding people and businesses whose only crime is
24:03
Speaker 1: falling a foul of a distant, faceless, unaccountable algorithmic judge.
24:09
Speaker 1: As someone who grew up a traditional ACLU liberal, this
24:13
Speaker 1: mechanism for punishment and deprivation without due process is horrifying.
24:20
Speaker 1: Another troubling aspect is the role of the press, which
24:23
Speaker 1: should be the people's last line of defense in such cases,
24:26
Speaker 1: but instead of investigating these groups, journalists partnered with them.
24:30
Speaker 1: If Twitter declined to remove an account right away, government
24:33
Speaker 1: agencies and NGOs would call reporters for The New York Times,
24:36
Speaker 1: Washington Posts and other outlets, who in turn would call
24:39
Speaker 1: Twitter demanding to know why action had not yet been taken. Effectively,
24:43
Speaker 1: news media became an arm of a state sponsored thought
24:47
Speaker 1: policing system. Let's go over that. This journalist who worked
24:54
Speaker 1: at Rolling Stones, who's not a hardcore conservative by any
24:59
Speaker 1: means is saying that after he got into the Twitter files,
25:02
Speaker 1: and after he got into the list, and after he
25:06
Speaker 1: saw the digital lists of people to shut down, he
25:11
Speaker 1: realized just how damning this was to our society. And
25:15
Speaker 1: then he said, as he described it there, that's when
25:18
Speaker 1: he also realized, Wow, the federal government has these social
25:23
Speaker 1: media companies that are working with him, hand on him
25:26
Speaker 1: at their beckoning call to do and to propagate and
25:29
Speaker 1: to push out and or silence any narrative or anything
25:32
Speaker 1: they don't want out there in the space. Think about
25:37
Speaker 1: what that means. You don't like somebody, turn them into
25:42
Speaker 1: one of the disappeared ones on social media. You don't
25:45
Speaker 1: like a show, you don't like a podcast, make sure
25:48
Speaker 1: when they tweet about it no one sees it. If
25:50
Speaker 1: a big tree falls in the forest and no one's around,
25:52
Speaker 1: did it actually even make a sound? All Right, Before
25:56
Speaker 1: I get into that, I want to talk to you
25:57
Speaker 1: real quick about our friends over at Patriot Mobile. They
26:00
Speaker 1: are now offering a performance guarantee. If you're not happy
26:04
Speaker 1: with your coverage, you can switch between the three major

Speaker 1: carriers four free. Yeah. Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian
26:12
Speaker 1: conservative wireless provider. They are for nationwide coverage on the
26:16
Speaker 1: best G four and G five networks, the same at
26:19
Speaker 1: network and towers you're using right now. The difference is
26:23
Speaker 1: not only do you get the same great quality that
26:26
Speaker 1: you're used to, but they actually are a company that
26:29
Speaker 1: fights to preserve or God given rights and freedoms. So
26:33
Speaker 1: this year resolved to stop spending your money with companies
26:37
Speaker 1: that don't align with your values, in fact, actually fight
26:39
Speaker 1: against what you believe in. Switch to Patriot Mobile. You'll
26:43
Speaker 1: be supporting First and Second Amendment groups, the rights of

Speaker 1: to switch. Call them right now, or go online to

Speaker 1: Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson. That's Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson.
26:58
Speaker 1: Or call them eight seven Patriot. You're gonna get free
27:02
Speaker 1: activation with the offer code ferguson. That's eight seven eight
27:06
Speaker 1: Patriot or Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson. Now, that is
27:11
Speaker 1: what they did to me and to many other conservatives.
27:14
Speaker 1: Facebook is a great example of this, at one point
27:16
Speaker 1: three million followers. Now, I can't get a follower for
27:19
Speaker 1: a million dollars. I post things on Facebook and it's
27:22
Speaker 1: pretty much worthless no one season. We used to do
27:25
Speaker 1: Facebook Live as another example, we'd get twenty thousand people
27:28
Speaker 1: fifteen thousand watching on a regular basis on Facebook Live.
27:32
Speaker 1: Now we can't get over three or four hundred with
27:35
Speaker 1: one point one three million followers. We can only get
27:39
Speaker 1: our hands on like three hundred people that watch us
27:44
Speaker 1: when we go live center, Ted Cruise and I do
27:47
Speaker 1: Verdict co host, right, we put that video up there
27:51
Speaker 1: as well. And when we put that video up there
27:55
Speaker 1: on Verdict, we'll get six thousand, seven thousand total view
28:00
Speaker 1: on a forty five minute, professionally produced show. And it's
28:05
Speaker 1: the same exact content that gets hundreds of thousands of
28:09
Speaker 1: downloads an episode, but on Facebook you're lucky to get
28:13
Speaker 1: seven eight thousand that watch it. What does that tell you?
28:20
Speaker 1: I mean really, what does that tell you about the
28:23
Speaker 1: situation and the corruption of the deep state in a
28:28
Speaker 1: big tech And it's not just social media. That's the
28:31
Speaker 1: other part. I'm gonna say it over and over again,
28:33
Speaker 1: because you understand, this is also banking, This is also PayPal,
28:37
Speaker 1: This is also shopify, This is also things like that
28:41
Speaker 1: where once you're on this enemy's list of the Democratic Party,
28:46
Speaker 1: it is incredibly hard to operate. Not just to operate,
28:52
Speaker 1: I would argue, to survive. You can the amount of
28:55
Speaker 1: money and time and effort that I spent building Twitter
29:00
Speaker 1: her up to six hundred plus thousand followers, building Facebook
29:03
Speaker 1: to one point three million. It was thousands of hours.
29:10
Speaker 1: It's part of my job. And they said, we're partnering
29:13
Speaker 1: you for content, and you build content and you'll get
29:16
Speaker 1: a following. And the more content you do, the more
29:17
Speaker 1: we're gonna have people follow you, and we're going to
29:20
Speaker 1: promote you. And then they and then they said, hey,
29:22
Speaker 1: what you should do is spend money with us and
29:24
Speaker 1: promote your page and promote your content, and then you'll
29:27
Speaker 1: get even more followers. And we did it, and we
29:30
Speaker 1: built this empire that was then shut down with a
29:34
Speaker 1: click of a mouse and hitting the inter button on
29:38
Speaker 1: a keyboard. That's what he's describing here. And his final
29:45
Speaker 1: thoughts to Congress about just how powerful big tech in
29:48
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party in the deep state is. As he
29:50
Speaker 1: decided as he was witnessing this as a journalist when
29:53
Speaker 1: he was going through the Twitter files, was this, I'm
29:56
Speaker 1: running out of time, so I'll just sum up and
29:57
Speaker 1: say it's just not possible. To instantly arrive at truth.
30:03
Speaker 1: It is, however, possible, becoming technologically possible to instantly define
30:09
Speaker 1: and enforce a political consensus online, which I believe is
30:12
Speaker 1: what we're looking at. This is a grave threat to
30:14
Speaker 1: people of all political persuasions. The first Amendment an American
30:19
Speaker 1: population accustomed to the right to speak is the best
30:22
Speaker 1: defense left against the censorship industrial complex. If the latter
30:26
Speaker 1: can knock over our first and most important constitutional guarantee,
30:30
Speaker 1: these groups will have no serious opponent left anywhere. If
30:34
Speaker 1: there's anything the twitterfiles show, it's that we're in danger
30:37
Speaker 1: of losing this most precious right, without which all democratic
30:41
Speaker 1: rights are impossible. Thank you for the opportunity to appear,
30:44
Speaker 1: and I'd be happy to answer any questions from the committee.
30:47
Speaker 1: You listen to his closing statement there and the point
30:52
Speaker 1: that he's basically trying to explain to congresses. You guys
30:55
Speaker 1: were teetering on living in a country where there is
30:58
Speaker 1: no such thing as free speech, and if you don't
31:01
Speaker 1: say the things you're supposed to say when you are speaking,
31:05
Speaker 1: then you are no longer a part of the greatest country,
31:09
Speaker 1: in the greatest society in the world. This is a
31:13
Speaker 1: guy who now is experiencing this now because now he
31:17
Speaker 1: is the Democrats public Enemy number one, solely because he
31:24
Speaker 1: looked at the Twitter files and reported on them in
31:28
Speaker 1: an unbiased manner. When he just said, hey, this is
31:30
Speaker 1: what we've found. That's all he did, folks, that's it,
31:37
Speaker 1: and now they're trying to destroy his entire life. We're
31:41
Speaker 1: going to have more of this, I can promise you.
31:42
Speaker 1: So make sure you continue to listen, make sure you
31:46
Speaker 1: share this podcast please with your family and friends. Right
31:48
Speaker 1: us a five star review, and we'll see you back
31:51
Speaker 1: here tomorrow
