The Three Misses

00
Hosted by Dennis Kneale

Up this week: Dennis leads off with #TheTwitterFiles and asks Washington Democrat insider Lanny Davis whether Twitter went too far. He also interviews The New York Post’s longtime “Media Ink” columnist, Keith J. Kelly, to ask why the media are going all-crickets on the story.

And the latest on the arrest in the Bahamas of accused crytpo-scammer Sam Bankman-Fried. Why is the SEC leading this case when it lacks any oversight of cryptocurrencies? Maybe the real aim is to silence the mop-headed 30-year-old so he can’t talk about Democrat donations and the access it brought.

This week Dennis leads off with the Georgia run-off and the Twitter Files, asking the $64 Question, “Where is the media outrage on election interference?”

Then Vivek Wadhwa, the Silicon Valley author, Harvard academic, and friend of Elon Musk lets loose with startlingly blunt criticism of his old friend. According to “The Vivver,” Musk is partying too much, is surrounded by idiots giving him bad advice, and is taking too many drugs that are “eating away his brain.”
