t to use it. So all right. Thomas Massie being awesome as usual has introduced a bill to eliminate taxpayer funding for online censorship. Yes please. And I'm thinking, wait a minute, why is it always the same guy who comes up with all the good ideas? Are you noticing the pattern? Who the hell did we hire for Congress if there's like one guy who comes up with all the useful ideas? It's always the…

but it's such a head-shaker, and Turley is making a point that the fact that the regular media, you know, the corporate media, is not treating this as like the big story ever, just sort of ignoring it, tells you a lot. So this is a dog-not-barking situation.

So the situation I'm talking about is there's this fellow named, it's a friend of Hunter Biden's who has given him millions of dollars, Kevin Morris. And he just says he's a friend, he wants to help, no ulterior motive, he just likes to give his friend millions of dollars. And apparently he gave his friend all of his money because he doesn't have any left. That's what you do for your friends. Yeah. When your friend needs money, you don't give some money.

And if you tie this together with the Mike Benz view of the world that Ukraine is basically a play to get the energy resources from Russia, has nothing to do with Ukraine or liberty or democracy. In fact we're not interested even a little bit in Ukraine being democratic. Apparently that would just work against our interest. So there'll be more on that a little bit in a moment. It's a whole week of complicated stories.

Do you notice that the news is really complicated now? For example, there's a story about the EcoHealth Alliance boss Peter Daszak, and apparently he's in big trouble for some documents that have been found that suggest there was some kind of coordinated effort to hide the involvement of the Wuhan lab, if I have that right. And they apparently used personal email to avoid getting caught. There are some people involved who we

re deleting emails ahead of time before they got FOIA'd. And the nature of the conversations that we have seen suggests that they knew they were guilty and that they were trying to hide it. At least that's how it's being interpreted. I'll just say that's how it's being interpreted. Can't know their inner thoughts. So it looks like everything you thought was true about the pandemic was true. It ca…
