Host: Jack Posobiec
Guests: Julie Kelly (Declassified Investigative Journalist), Tommy Stevenson (Politics Editor, Post Millennial), Peachy Keenan (Author & Commentator)
Overview
This episode dives into two major topics:
- The breaking DOJ case revealing the recent arrest of the January 6th RNC/DNC pipe bomber and suspected federal coverup of key evidence.
- The massive $83B acquisition of Warner Brothers Discovery (including HBO Max) by Netflix, with an emphasis on alleged political influence by the Obamas and the resulting “wokification” and ideological steering of American popular media.
Jack Posobiec and guests discuss government transparency, media consolidation, progressive influence in Hollywood, as well as perceived attempts to rewrite history for both political and cultural advantage.
Segment 1: The January 6 Pipe Bomber — Arrest, Motives & DOJ Controversy
Key Timestamps:
- [03:38] – [12:33]: J6 Pipe Bomber Case Deep Dive
- [14:32] – [26:55]: FBI evidence, motives, family ties, legal and media narratives
DOJ’s Pipe Bomber Arrest
- Arrest of Brian Cole Jr. for placing pipe bombs at RNC and DNC on Jan 5, 2021.
- Narrative questioned: Was Cole’s identity known by authorities long before arrest, but deliberately withheld to shape a political narrative?
Notable Quote (Julie Kelly, [04:52]):
“Either one of two reasons. Number one, Brian Cole is an asset or a source for either the FBI or other law enforcement agency. Or two, the fact that...he is a young black male, potentially with ties to Antifa, Black Lives Matter...the arrest of either one of those in April 2021 would have completely decimated the developing January 6 insurrection narrative at the time.”
FBI’s Timeline and Motives
- Purchases for bomb components allegedly go back to late 2019, undermining the claim that Cole was motivated by the 2020 election defeat ([08:22], Julie Kelly & Jack).
- Federal Narrative: FBI Director Chris Wray repeatedly denied Antifa involvement in J6, contradicting emerging evidence and witness claims ([06:05], Julie Kelly).
Quote (Julie Kelly, [11:40]):
“If he was a MAGA supporter and thought the election was stolen, why wasn’t he there on January 6 instead of January 5 when the protests were underway?”
Family and Legal Ties
- Cole’s family:
- Father is an attorney with connections to Black Lives Matter (represented by Ben Crump).
- The family was deeply involved in lawsuits against the Trump administration ([14:32–21:21], Tommy Stevenson & Jack).
- No strong MAGA ties: No evidence points to Cole or his family supporting Trump, despite some media narratives ([24:12–24:20], Tommy Stevenson).
Quote (Jack, [22:30]):
“It’s hard to draw a line from someone who’s at the very heart of Black Lives Matter to a Trump supporter. It really is.”
Media Coverage and Speculation
- Mainstream outlets and officials push conflicting motives: MAGA, anarchist, and anti-establishment.
- Jack and guests emphasize:
- The suspiciously long delay in making the arrest given the cell-phone and credit card data available ([19:15–21:21]).
- The possibility of Brian Cole being an informant or protected asset.
- Caution against jumping to conclusions until further DOJ disclosures.
Segment 2: Netflix’s Mega-Acquisition, the Obamas & The Ideological Transformation of Hollywood
Key Timestamps:
- [27:32] – [34:08]: Netflix-Warner acquisitions, Obama connections, shift in content
- [32:20] – [42:18]: Peachy Keenan analyzes pop culture “wokification,” children’s programming, and creative trends
- [42:18] – [47:40]: Broader implications for entertainment and American families
Netflix Buys Warner Bros Discovery for $83B
- Deal includes: Warner’s film and TV library and HBO Max streaming ([01:09], Jack; [27:32], Jack).
- Jack’s thesis: This move cements a “woke media monopoly,” steering culture leftward.
- Links to 2018: Netflix’s deal with Barack and Michelle Obama and addition of Susan Rice to the board.
- Causal claim: Uptick in “woke” content (LGBT, racial themes) since signing Obama ([30:32–34:08]).
Quote (Jack, [30:51]):
“All you have to do is go back and look: it was 2018 when Barack Obama and Michelle Obama signed a massive deal with Netflix. And so, Stranger Things, where if you go back to season one, was just a great show about small town mysteries...now, Stranger Things puts in...pedo programming...right there on Netflix in a show that is marketed to children.”
Peachy Keenan on Culture Shift
- Critiques inclusion and focus on LGBTQ themes in programs like Stranger Things.
- Points out:
- Romantic subtext between underage characters portrayed as groundbreaking, but actually superficial and tinged in her view with sexualization issues ([33:04–37:22]).
- Says this is symptomatic of what’s happening systemically at Netflix/Hollywood in general.
Quote (Peachy Keenan, [33:04]):
“It's hard to watch…what other interpretation can you possibly make?...It's done like a romance montage like you would see in the 1980s, but in an actual 80s movie it would be a boy and a girl.”
- GLAAD and activist pressure: Hollywood storylines, according to Peachy, are being guided by LGBTQ/diversity reps embedded in writers’ rooms.
- Jack worries: If Netflix controls HBO and WB, legacy franchises will all get the same “ideological” makeover:
- "The Sopranos and The Wire – everything’s going to be crazy, everybody's going to be gay." ([40:25], Jack)
Concerns About Children’s Programming
- Both Jack and Peachy lament the loss of “innocent” children’s content, and encourage parents to rely on older, “classic” media to create a safe environment.
- Practical advice: Run personal servers to stream only pre-’90s/‘00s content to family ([42:18], Jack).
Memorable Moment (Jack, [46:17]):
“We are a Star Wars free house. There’s no Star Wars in the house at all, whatsoever. And now...my kids have never seen Star Wars...the people who were there [at Star Wars Land, Disneyland] creeped me out. They all gave off PETO vibes...I don't want my kids around this ever.”
On the future:
- Netflix-WB merger could enable further rewriting and remaking of cultural icons (mention of The Goonies, Indiana Jones, Scooby Doo, and Looney Tunes), stripping them of what Jack and Peachy consider their original American and family-friendly qualities.
Notable Quotes & Moments
-
Julie Kelly on FBI motives ([05:32]):
“The biggest issue is because it hurts the narrative. You've got this guy who's an African American whose motive seems very shaky.” -
Tommy Stevenson ([16:28]):
“Purchases in June...a whole year previous to the election or previous to January 6th. So that narrative...just doesn't make sense for a motive.” -
Peachy Keenan ([35:47]):
“There’s two of the main characters are gay. There's a lesbian and a gay couple...I grew up in the 80s, and I don't remember people having that many openly gay teenage friends...they've turned the whole thing on its head.”
-
Jack Posobiec ([40:25]):
“If this deal goes through, Netflix, who's doing all the things that we’re talking about here, and the Obamas will now control all of HBO and all of the Warner Brothers, which means...now everybody’s going to be gay and everything’s going to be crazy.”
-
Jack Posobiec ([46:17]):
“Star Wars free house...the people who were there creeped me out…PETO vibes.”
Conclusion
Episode takeaways:
- J6 Pipe Bomber Case — The panelists question the timeline and motives of both the alleged suspect and the DOJ, arguing mainstream media conveniently recast the facts to suit political ends.
- Media Consolidation & Wokification — Jack and guests voice concern about the future of American pop culture, arguing that further consolidation under progressive Hollywood icons (Obama, Susan Rice, Netflix execs) threatens to rewrite classic, apolitical entertainment into vehicles for left-leaning ideology.
- Both sections reflect a skeptical, combative tone toward both federal investigative agencies and the media industry, championing parental vigilance and alternative information/entertainment sources.
