Welcome back everyone to another episode of You're Along with me, David Hosani and Molly Hemingway.

If you'd like to write to the show, please do so at radioatthefederalist.com. We love to hear from you.

How are you Molly? Well, I know how you are. You're not that great, right?

I'm ridiculously sick.

Can you tell?

Yeah, we can tell.

But because you're, you know, you're a professional, nothing can stop you from working, which it's amazing. You're work ethics. So thank you for doing this. Everyone appreciates it.

I think like, I feel worse than I felt since I had COVID in 2021.

That's not very interesting, but it's not. No, no, it is. You've been, listen, you've been under the weather now. You were last week's podcast as well. So more than a week, right? That's a pretty long sickness. Yeah. Yeah, you'll get better.

Thank you, David.

Yeah. So I assume that because you've been sick, maybe you haven't been paying attention to what's going on as much as usual. So I'll just.

World War three started as all I want to know close, but we're not there yet. They're still working on that one. But there were some interesting developments and one of the interesting developments.

This week was an, I think a Department of Energy report that's found that there was a likelihood, forget to what extent the likelihood. And that's a totally different semantic discussion. But that there was a likelihood that the.

COVID that you had last year was developed in a lab in China. And in some way, probably by accident, escaped and got millions of people sick and killed millions of people.

What makes this interesting, of course, is one, the people are working on these sorts of things. But also very, very interesting from our perspective, at least, I think is that there was a lot of censorship rationalized justified by people having to do with the theory of the lab leak.

I think Facebook censored or banned or cancel people for like a year on that site who brought this up because it was supposedly racist.

And even now all the people who participated in that sort of censorship, who called anyone who brought it up crazy and smeared them as conspiracy theorists now have, of course, moved the goalpost and say that, you know, we don't know for sure this and that.

But you know, it's an interesting story, obviously, in regards to the censorship, bangled, don't you think?

Well, it's more than interesting. I mean, it's a really major story. So it wasn't just that you had corporate media and big tech going hard after everybody who theorized that the Wuhan Institute of virology might have a relationship with the Wuhan virus that escaped and killed or even that was out there in the world in the wild.

Killing millions of people, it's that they had the power to actually do major financial and like civic damage to the country through their censorship methods.

And so Gabe Khmensky over at the Washington Examiner, former federalist intern has had an excellent series on disinformation ink.
