A good night out. We've had some crazy times, I don't even know we can talk about all of them, but I feel like we led the moms astray, I'm honest.

Please have one too many likes of that. That's not a bad pub for a pint. He just kept laughing.

You're not like lary, no you're just a bit daffed. I don't think we're normal to be honest.

Wife for me is nothing without the good times. My friends and my, oh sorry, I just got to be froggling and fuck that in be in beaver town for humans and other

social beings please enjoy beaver town beer responsibly visit drink aware

dot co-dot UK. So my guest today is Matt Taibi one of the few actual journalists left in the world and I was looking forward to this conversation.

It wasn't going to be tied to the news, but it turns out that a lot of news has happened in the last 24

hours and even as this recording is happening within hours of it that I can't help

but make that the focus of what we're about to discuss. The first is the

appearance that the FBI has big surprise, not been honest with the public, certainly not fully

straightforward based on some recent facts that we've learned about what they know about

the Trump would be assassin or the assassin person who at least attempted the assassination on Donald Trump

What we've learned and it's still in real time coming out is that at least GAB, one of the organization's social media networks that received an emergency document request from the FBI suggested that they knew or believed that the account that belonged to Crooks, the Alizassen, actually

was posting very different things than what the FBI publicly stated.

So it's interesting to get to the bottom of what's going on there.

And it's all against the backdrop of a week where

leveling the term weird has become the Democrats'

principal political strategy, which I think is actually not only a little bit weird in its own right, but more importantly, it's anti-American at its core.

And rankles me in ways that I think we ought to discuss in greater depth than just knee-jerk reactions. So a lot to talk about, but instead of the

usual conversation we were about to have Matt, I'll bring on my guest, Matt Taibee, who I had a chance to meet recently at the Republican Convention.

We struck up conversation and this is an outgrowth and a follow-up to that, but Matt welcome to my podcast and I'm excited to chat with you about some subjects that may have been a little bit different than what we were planning on.

No, thanks for having me on and good to see you again. Mr. Ramaswami.
