Well, before the election, I knew the Hunter Biden laptop was verifiable, was authentic, was genuine, that the information in there was reliable. I had confirmed it in all the ways that we had confirmed these other laptops and these other archives.

And so to watch Leslie Stahl say, and she was just mouthing what everybody else in the media was saying, because it was weeks before the election, they didn't wanna do anything to jeopardize Biden's chances. This laptop is not something we can talk about. You know that it's something we can't verify. They all spread the lie that it was Russian disinformation.

And I, of course, ended up leaving my own media outlet because they wouldn't let me report on this archive that I knew for certain was authentic. That was really the moment that showed me that this was not just a kind of progressive incremental problem that one day could be reined in.

It was really a fundamental transformation of how these media institutions thought about what their primary mission was. They were very willing, in fact, eager to find lies to justify burying that archive that told us a lot about what Joe Biden and his family did in pursuit of profit in China, profit in Ukraine, all sorts of important questions about the credibility of Joe Biden.

But they were so desperate to do anything to make sure that he won that election against Donald Trump that I watched them all collectively embrace a series of lies to justify burying burying it and suppressing it. Of course, big tech then censored it too, based on those same lies.

Not only that. Not only that, but the idea was, if you notice how slimy that was, it began with these people have no qualifications, but then each one of them was smeared with some view that...
