Nathan Livingstone and his account (MilkBarTV) have taken on the task of exposing these grifters - using their own videos, words, and past content to exhibit their dishonesty and ulterior motives.

Nathan appears to be on target because he is currently being sued by Andrew Tate and in an online copyright battle with Candace Owens. He joins me to discuss this cancerous element of the Online Right and the tactics they use to deceive.

Jimmy Kimmel's late night show is taken off the air after he makes blatantly false claims about the killer of Charlie Kirk. Is this just a typical instance of "Cancel Culture"? The right wing using the left's tactics against them? Or Kimmel's employers finally having enough of his problematic behavior and declining ratings? What was the government's role here?

My guest Ethan Strauss has some inside sources on the government's role and a unique perspective on what this means for "free speech ".

Welcome to a new episode of the Prevailing Narrative! Today, Matt delves into the early weeks of the P. Diddy RICO and sex trafficking trial. Joined by independent journalist Emilie Hagen, Matt navigates the sensational details and legal nuances surrounding the case. They explore the nature of sex trafficking charges, the public's misconceptions, and the defense's strategies. 

Highlights:

“Sex trafficking isn’t some Epstein-level conspiracy—it’s coercion + a commercial sex act. Diddy’s on tape beating Cassie; that’s enough.” 

“The defense is doing a great job at misdirecting. Today, they made a psychologist look like a clout-chasing fraud.”

“People want this trial to be about secret tapes of Leo DiCaprio. It’s really about a guy who pissed on women and bribed security guards.” 

“Celebrities are pathetic. Meet Alex Soros for 30 seconds, you’ll realize no one’s smart enough to run these ‘elite’ schemes.”
