I'm Ben Nadefaffrey, host of the history show The Last Archive, and I want to tell you about a new series we're running in our feed.

It's called The Dead Line. Six essays written and read by Jill Lepore,

the New Yorker writer, American historian, and founding host of our show.

These are incredible essays on everything from the history of Cryogenics to the Silicon Valley

Gospel of Disruption.

And at the end of each essay, I interview Jill about her craft as a writer.

You can listen on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. free telephone number it's 800. 941, Sean, if you want to be a part of this extravaganza, this program.

We got a lot of ground to cover, a lot on this.

FBI was pre-bunking a story that they knew that would be released by Rudy Giuliani's attorney at the time in the lead up to the

election warning big tech oh you're likely to be victims of a misinformation

disinformation foreign campaign and it may be about Hunter or

Joe Biden. And then when they knew for a fact in March of 2020 that the laptop was

very real and they were asked by Facebook and Twitter, is this what you're

warning us about, this New York Post story?

They wouldn't tell them the truth.

Or the 51 intel, former intel people that do absolutely nothing,

nothing about the laptop except that they wanted Joe Biden to win.

This has all the fingerprints of a Russian disinformation campaign.
