Mark Zuckerberg admitted recently that Facebook throttled the Hunter Biden lap story ahead of the 2020 election. He says, we throttled it back. He says that, actually, he didn't really say that in the interview. You and I talked about this.
Yeah.
If you look at the Rogan interview, I, I think they've taken and, and I agree with what you and I had talked about earlier, it's almost like they're putting, they're adding some words to this whole thing, aren't they?
Yeah, they are. And there's a lot that's real with this story. There's a lot that's unreal. First and foremost, let's talk about the big thing, he goes on Joe Rogan and Zuckerberg clearly says, and we, we, we actually do have the clip.
Mm-hmm.
So Zuckerberg says, I think the FBI may have reached out to some people. There's so many vague words in there. And then of course, Rogan asked point blank, did they tell you to, to censor the Hunter Biden story? And he said point blank, no.
Yeah, yeah.
No, they didn't. But they still did make the decision to throttle that particular story. He admits that freely.
Well, they throttle, they didn't kill it.
Right.
They throttled it back. They said, look, we got, you know, there's, there's an edge of a warning here. Somebody is saying that the Russians are coming again and the Russians are gonna put all this propaganda out there. Now here's what's developing to me. I, I don't know whether you're following this. I think we talked about it earlier. This Timothy Thibault. Now I think this is, this is a big part of the story. The Hill reported that he was the guy that was in charge of the Hunter Biden investigation. And he was the guy that, that made the decisions. Do we go forward? Do we do this? Do we follow the investigation? What do we do? He, he was escorted out of the FBI building a couple of weeks ago. Okay. Now he had been on suspension before then for investigating him to say, did you really do what the media is saying, some media is saying that you did? That you interfered with social media so you could cover up the Hunter Biden story. What's your, what is your take.
Well, and you had.
What's your take?
Republican Senator Chuck Grassley is basically the one who lobbed all these allegations against Thibault. And they did investigate, suspended while investigating, not suspended, I guess, because there was definite wrongdoing, but saying, because you're being investigated for these allegations, we need you to step aside. And then of course he quits, retires, you know, differing stories everywhere about why he actually left.
Mm-hmm.
But, okay, so he's gone now. This guy who was running it, he obviously didn't kill the investigation because it was still happening.
Right.
But, I guess the question is, was there damage done? Did you intentionally sabotage anything? Which is a legit question.
Take, take, take the election out of it. Okay. Take the Trump election and Hunter Biden and people say, well, if we'd have known the story, we wouldn't have voted for Biden. First of all, I don't think any of this ties up directly to Biden.
Right.
You and I talked about this. You pointed out that most of this took, 2017, 2018.
Right. From August, 2017 to October of 2018 is when these deals happened.
So let's assume that Hunter Biden is the, the dirtbag that he is. He is a total utter dirtbag. No question about it. But how does that tie up to the president? And I don't think anybody, nobody's come forward and said, yeah, this is where it's very clear. What, what the big problem here is the FBI. The FBI has been so tarnished.
