Summary

Remember the dossier? Many journalists (not to mention the FBI) worked hard to confirm its allegations against Donald Trump. They failed miserably.

Hello and welcome to another edition of the

0:07.2

Blyo York show. If you've ever listened to this podcast, you know it is the no

0:12.1

chit-chat podcast. Do not sit around and talk about what the

0:16.2

weather is before we get going. So today we're going to get going on the

0:20.9

topic at hand which is the Hunter Biden laptop, the stories of his emails

0:26.8

originally published in the New York Post.

0:29.4

And there are a few specific aspects of that that I want to talk about today. But I think I want to

1:26.2

In the meantime, we are reducing its distribution on our platform.

1:30.3

So the question is, how's it going with those third party fact checking partners?

1:36.0

I actually asked that question, have not had an answer yet, but you know they have had a week to do this. This is a very hot

1:46.1

story and there's a lot of time pressure with an election coming up. So you'd think

1:51.2

the fact checkers would really be on it. But so far, nothing. We don't know yet. So that's the story with the fact checkers. So what I wanted to talk about today is what standard of proof

2:08.0

we should apply to this Hunter BidenBiden laptop story.

Now you've all heard the people including Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence
