Summary

Ashley Rindsberg, author of the ‘The Gray Lady Winked,’ discusses the mainstream media’s infatuation with Barack Obama leading to biased journalism, and his new op-ed on ‘Why Russiagate was the Media’s Vietnam.’ Saying, the media became the government’s favorite brethren, after the “Obama administration becoming most of the the media's kind of wet dream, they have the perfect president, doing all the right things, and saying all the right things, and you want your team to win. And that sort of became that moment where things start to shift. And I think Trump then really solidified that, where [the media], as much as [Trump] talked about the media as the enemy of the people, the media saw [Trump] as an enemy of the Republic. So that became the moment where it was no longer about reporting facts, it was an extension of politics, and the politics that were in place were as just an extension of this kind of warfare that's been going on in the United States.”

0:00.0	Hello, American happy Monday. What an extraordinary weekend. We had a lot of news breaking at
0:10.9	JustANews.com. But no story more important than the one that broke on Saturday evening
0:18.2	in which the Energy Department, according to Wall Street Journal, in a classified
0:22.8	analysis has concluded that the most likely origins of the COVID-19 virus was a lab leak
0:29.9	in China. And this is based on continuing growing intelligence that just continues to keep
0:34.6	coming out. Remember Donald Trump told us this, Donald Trump's administration told you
0:38.6	this. Just the news told you this. We did lots of stories in 2020 and 2021. And in 2021,
0:46.4	when the House Intelligence Committee put out under Republicans a powerful, powerful, open
0:51.6	source intelligence document showing why the lab leak theory was possible in the media
0:57.6	ridiculed it. And I mean really ridiculed it in New York Times, protested Tom Cotton for
1:02.9	suggesting an Ann Appalbaum, the former Washington Post editorial page writer, editor, she called
1:09.7	it Soviet propaganda to suggest that the virus, the Washington Post fact checker Glenn Kessler
1:15.2	said it was scientifically impossible. Well, guess what? They were all wrong. They were
1:20.2	all wrong. And the gaslighting that the media industry along with their allies in the
1:26.6	scientific and intelligence community to impose on the United States people another false narrative.
1:33.7	How many of those we've had, right? They keep going in reversal. But today I want to focus a
1:38.0	little bit of time on that. We're going to talk at the top of the hour, Amanda and I had an
1:41.6	opportunity to spend some time with Margie Taylor Greene, the congresswoman from Georgia today.
1:45.8	She's got some very interesting ideas on how to deal with the bureaucrats who were involved in
1:52.1	this censorship on Russia collusion on Hunter Biden, on Joe Biden and China, on the virus.
1:58.8	She's going to tell us how she and her colleagues in the Republican House, by the way, Margie Taylor
