Dinesh D'Souza releases texts of conversation between him and Tucker Carlson producer Justin Wells - it isn't pretty.

I'm releasing this exchange because it's the backstory to understand why Tucker recently had on Catherine Engelbrecht of True the Vote. She was instructed not to mention "2000 Mules" even though the movie was out and the whole discussion centered around the material in the movie...

The story goes back to early February when I produced a teaser trailer for the upcoming film. Tucker invited Catherine to come on the show and she recommended they run the teaser trailer to go with her interview. Everything seemed all set until...

One of Tucker's producers--a guy named Alex--told me they couldn't run the 90 second trailer. They wanted to use just 45 seconds. Turned out they wanted to cut out my name, Salem Media, and any reference to the movie....

So basically they wanted to steal our content and pretend like they had produced it. I politely said no. I had earlier clarified with Alex that they should either use the full teaser trailer or not. Yet my refusal to let them go ahead provoked the following exchange...

(For exchange, go to link...)

I think that’s a perfect plan. As a third party w/o direct knowledge I have a take but I am not wedded to it nor would it be reasonable for me to push it on others. Thank you for your courtesy.

Honestly, election fraud gets discussed all the time.

I watch Fox every day. I have rarely heard election fraud as it pertains to November 3 discussed and how it affected the election results. What shows discuss election fraud?

As it turns out, you're not allowed to malign companies or individuals without facts. Slander is not free speech. And companies that are fat targets for lawsuits (like Fox) don't want their anchors putting out pejorative claims that can't be substantiated. Or they'll be in the business of paying out "reasonable settlements" and detractions, like OANN just had to do with the GA election workers.

It is called intimidation and rationalization. The WP and NYT had no problem trying to debunk 2000 Mules with extensive stories. CNN and MSNBC do the same thing along with spreading lies about J6. One of the reasons Chris Wallace cited for leaving Fox was Tucker's three part series on J6. The self-censorship has more to do with Murdoch's dislike of Trump than it has to do fear of law suits.

We have plenty of facts and thousands of signed affidavits detailing election fraud. How closely have you followed the election fraud court cases in GA? I am not about to give Fox a pass.

Fox won't go anywhere near Lindell because he's getting sued back to the stone age. I suspect most judges are going to expect to see the packet captures to back up his claims this time.

They are happy to receive his ad money.

Dinesh has the right to protect his content from editing that may be in someway misleading or manipulated from core message.

Furthermore, it should be noted that the Fox executive is very unprofessional and should be fired.

I’ll make a note not to be anywhere near this guy in my future efforts!

It seems to me that Justin Wells is an arrogant bastard. Likely a cat for Mitch McConnelld itchy private parts, if not a Dem.

Have a little bit of class Justine.

He referenced mentioning clips from “Titanic” on a msm Network without identifying what it belonged to...... That is BS, they run them things with the name of the media company slightly dimmer than the clip, but quite obviously naming the movie and production company. They NEVER don’t do this, except with content they want to squash.

Would you work really hard to produce something and casually let someone steal it?

If it would save the country then yeah

“Dinesh being an ego-hogging a-hole doesn’t help anyone.”

He might be those things (IDK). But in THIS instance it’s a legal issue having to do with intellectual property. We don’t like it when China steals IP, so why would it be OK for Fox to do it and open the door for all others
?

Ah... note to anyone having digital conversations with Dinesh in the future...

Think about that, Dinesh. Talk about burning bridges...

____________________________________________________________
Some people simply do not understand business. Dinesh had an agreement and a condition to use the promotional video. Either use it or not but don’t use just part of of it. Fox wanted to change the rules at the last minute. Salem was in the drivers seat and made the condition not Dinesh, his hands were tied. Fox tried to screw him over and were real asinine in doing it.

I saw the movie at the theater and purchased it. I saw very little I didn’t know but others will, I hope enough people watch it and their blood boils over enough to stop the steal from happening again.

Why didn’t Tucker give in because it is important?

'Cuz he works for some fag network? But I would ask the same question if the title of the article was "Tucker releases" instead of "Dinesh releases"

It wouldn't.
And 2000mules had plenty of publicity anyways, MSM or no MSM. Everyone I know has heard about it.
This is not 1970.

The gagging on Tucker Carlson’s knob is getting pretty intense here on Freerepublic.

Tucker does not own the network. Like most of us, he does what he is told to do by his employers.

Do not assume you can walk in another man’s shoes. Dinesh has been through more than you and I can fathom.

It is all mentioned in the Navarro Report, link below. The thousands of affidavits are mentioned in the Executive Summary.. Rudy went around the country briefing state legislatures on the fraud. He collected the affidavits. They are also included in the various court cases at the state level as well as the cases provided to SCOTUS.

I followed that link, and read the same thing regarding thousands of "affidavits and declarations". That statement has the first footnote, which I also read. The only affidavit mentioned is a one claim that machines were connected to the Internet in Arizona. Maybe it's mostly declarations.
