Posobiec called attention to legacy media's sudden switch and asked Beattie what to make of this recent development.
"We're actually doing a little blog write-up on that," Beattie said. "The observation was so good and it, you know, it's absolutely right. And you see it [in] a variety of contexts. You notice these little subtle things. For instance, the favorable reporting on Ray Epps, which comes from, of all places, like New York Times and other legacy media outlets that haven't had a single nice or sympathetic thing to say about any other January 6 participant, they call Ray Epps, a Trump supporter."
"'Oh, he's just a Trump supporter.' Yeah, well, he is wearing a Trump hat. You know, think about it [in] any other case, a guy like this wearing a Trump hat, in subsequent footage wearing military camo, who is the former head of the Arizona chapter of the Oathkeepers, the most heavily prosecuted and demonized militia group associated with January 6, and they're calling him a Trump supporter, even though he flew all the way to DC from Arizona, ostensibly to see Trump's speech, which he didn't even go to."
"Instead, he thought it was a higher priority to direct people to the Capitol ... It's absolutely incredible to see how the legacy media, New York Times, 60 Minutes, Adam Kinzinger, the DOJ itself, will bend over backwards to do the most remarkable gymnastic contortions imaginable to defend this one specific individual who also happens to be the only guy caught on camera as early as January 5."
Posobiec encouraged Beattie to say a bit more about the reality of what this means, adding, "don't hold back."
"Well, you know, it kind of speaks for itself," Beattie responded. "It's very strange. At one point, Ray Epps, whose behavior was considered so egregious that he was one of the first 20 people put on the FBI's most wanted list for January 6. He was prominently featured in New York Times, his own ominously titled Day of Rage documentary series on January 6. Yet, something weird happened shortly after Revolver News created a national discussion about the possibility of federal involvement in January 6."
Beattie went on to explain a bit more about Epps' legal team, which includes Michael Tater, who Beattie said "comes from deep within the bowels of the Democrat national security nexus machine. He's an employee of the discredited and thoroughly disgraced Democrat hatchman, David Brock. He's also a former employee of Perkins Coie. Again, a disgraced law firm, which could, I think accurately, be described as one of the laboratories, out of which the hoax Steele dossier was concocted."
