cases of so—called whistle—blowers, like former us army intelligence analyst chelsea manning and wikileakshe uk, facing extradition to the us. there's no question that he's a journalist, but he is being accused of conspiring with a source. and what does that mean? well, he spoke to his source and if that is a crime, then everyjournalist — at least those that speak to sources — are now exposed to being prosecuted and put in prison. you did the war logs and the war diaries dump and then, you then released all of these diplomatic cables which had different kinds of information — secret, confidential information — involving the us government's contacts with individuals on the ground in a whole host of countries. just to take one small example, but not small to the individual involved, an ethiopian journalist, reporter — argaw ashine — was forced to flee the country because he was named in a us cable and he believed it put his life in immediate danger. he had to flee, leave his homeland, and again, wouldn't have happened had you not taken your decision to leak. again, you know, you're talking a

mean probably, you know in retrospect, it would have been wiser for musk to hand the entire file to wikileaks the net, they did not do that. they ran it through their general council who was working on behalf of the fbi. bebut, th core true does not change. you just can't have that and maintain a representative democracy. the two are in compatible with eep other. i am not sure why that's not clear to everyone. you don't have to be a right-winger or a trump supporter. that should be obvious to chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. do you want to live in the country where the fbifbi fbi tamfbi fbi tampers p>> he's making the decisid then we are all made aware. wait a minute, this guy jim is jim baker and elon fires him yesterday. i want to know did jim baker hide anything and will we see it all and will musk dig deeper into e-mails and others. some of these people throw away their phone and get new phones. i don't know if we'll find out all the answers. tucker carlson's originals. we have a clip from biden inc. the impact of hunter's scandal and how this affects biden's win. >> the person would follo

according to the best information we had at the time and added later, i wish they were released wikileakt a minute on these. i would, though, like to begin with what i think is maybe the most talked about twitter file. is that right? >> the twitter files. >> the hunter booiden laptop and your "post" story thasquashed ws ahead of the election. >> i think that we need to say that jack dors ear admitted that suppressing the new york story was a mistake. the twitter files, though, they really showed i think the messy content moderation that was happening behind the scenes and i think we're seeing and it's probably no surprise but we seeing that not everyone agrees on the same page when they're making these complex decisions. i will say on this specific twitter files drop, i thought what was really noteworthy was there was no evidence of government involvement in trying to suppress this story and that was a a big claim that elon musk had made earlier when he was hyping these twitter files. i think that's very important to point out here. >> and part of this is also not just the story, it the
