Ep. 92 FBI Spying and the Gaslighting of America
Bob uses the media coverage of the December Inspector General (IG) report on the FBI to illustrate how the establishment is gaslighting America. Specifically, some of the FBI’s tactics when applying for permission to spy on the Trump campaign are jaw-dropping, and yet the corporate media have used the report to refute Trump’s “conspiracy theories” about an FBI plot against him.

Bob great episode – I listened twice in a row, which oI I only occasionally do with POTP. Dave and Robbie are funnier but you’re just so tight (which was what you were going for).
Thanks Larry. But when you say “Dave and Robbie are funnier but you’re just so tight (which was what you were going for),” let me ask for clarification: I agree that “Dave and Robbie” are funnier than me, but what about if we take them one at a time?
Not strictly gaslighting, but people are fed up with being scared: Nazis, Russians, Muslims, climate, so lon asd theycan be kept on edge (which imho is what causes gun violence)
