There was this one moment where the Human Rights Campaign, you know, the Biden White House released a statement, and this was just last year, they released a statement weakening their stance supporting sex change operations for children. And they had language that suggested, oh, we're not actually going to go full bore into this.

We think that maybe it could be a good idea sometimes, but we want to withdraw our full support. The human rights campaign created a pressure campaign on the White House. The White House changed its messaging. just a few hours later. And then the head of the human rights campaign went to her donors and said, look, this is tremendous impact and we have to keep doing this.

So I don't have the receipts on every way that these activist groups achieved their goals in the Biden administration, but there are moments like that that really peel the curtain back and show that, yes, this vast influence campaign achieved many of its goals. and in sometimes shocking degrees.

Yeah, I think it's a very effective, mostly symbolic move. Some of the people have already lost their security clearances and some of them have passed away.

That example was exhibit A of big tech and the deep state colluding in order to suppress a very true news story that we now know the Hunter Biden laptop was real. The New York Post was correct. All of this rhetoric about it being a Russian influence campaign was itself disinformation and of the worst sort.

And by choosing Tulsi Gabbard as his director of national intelligence, by putting Kash Patel at the FBI, by putting Ratcliffe at the CIA, Trump is sending very clear messages that he is going to bring the deep state to heel.

And so what you see is... This threat doesn't go away. These activists are not giving up. Some of them are staying inside of the administrative state.
