Hey folks, Brett here. I am sitting with someone most of the people who follow me almost certainly know, but for those who don't, this is Benjamin Voice.

Benjamin has been chronicling what has been going on at Evergreen since the debacle in spring of 2017.

He and I did not know each other before, but Benjamin is an alum of Evergreen. I was teaching there and we've become friends in the aftermath of that event.

So anyway, we are here to talk on what will soon be the set of Bret Weinstein's Dark Horse Podcast. We are here to talk about what is taking place with you, with Google, with the recent, recent revelations out of Project Veritas.

Do you want to say something about what you've been up to and what you've experienced recently at the hands of Google?

Well, let's back up a little bit. So I've been working on the story about Evergreen, which includes you, but I've gone beyond the Bret Weinstein story into various layers of student activism and student counter activism and then the administration and the faculty and I've been following this for now two years.

And I've kind of, it's kind of obvious to me that I might be kind of annoying for certain people within the institution of the Evergreen State College, because I keep on bringing to light things that they very explicitly don't want to be brought to light.

But however, they are a public institution and Washington State Law has a very explicit public records set of statues. So they owe me information, they owe the public information and I've been able to get information even though they've been basically obstructing my access through official means.

The public records department is basically locked at a standstill. So I get information from other places.

Well, wait, I want to stop you right there because I think this is an incredibly important fact that the public doesn't know, which is that this public institution is by all evidence conspiring against the laws of the state of Washington.

And it's obstructing your attempt to get information that you are legally entitled to get from the institution and it's giving you the run around. So that raises serious questions about an institution that has problems that have been revealed through public records request.

So effectively, the institution has gone rogue and surely there is some legal mechanism that should kick in that forces them to comply because the mechanism that keeps them honest is people like you or me taking information that we are able to extract and exposing it and discussing it and letting the chips fall where they may.

Well, add to that the fact that Evergreen's enrollment is tanking and their main source of revenue right now is the legislator and the only thing that they can legislate sure.

The legislature is a governing body with a governing body full of legislator.

Yes, and they have the one proud thing that Evergreen can tout as a when is getting securing funding from the legislature.

They are getting state money in order to survive.

Therefore, it compounds the the problematics of why would they not be following the letter of the state law or even the spirit of the law. Why would they be wanting to take money but not giving anything back in return.

It seems like a quid pro quo. If you are a public servant, then you are beholden to the public.

The law is the law and the legislator should surely be holding them to the laws of the state of Washington and presumably withholding funds if they don't comply.

I would also say that the instruction not to comply must have come from somewhere and I think you and I would be likely to guess the same source.

George has been all about spin and president bridges.

Current president.
