Breitbart Enters Film Distribution Business with ‘My Son Hunter’; Directed by Robert Davi, Starring Laurence Fox and Gina Carano

by www.breitbart.com Leave a Comment

LOS ANGELES, California — Breitbart is announcing its first foray into scripted entertainment with My Son Hunter , directed by Robert Davi ( Licensed to Kill, Die Hard, Goonies ) and starring Laurence Fox ( Victoria, Inspector Lewis, The Professor and the Madman ), and Gina Carano ( The Mandalorian, Dead Pool, Heist ). The film follows the “smartest guy” the President of the United States knows as he navigates a tangled web of prostitution, partying, international business dealings, drugs, sex, Chinese spies, a laptop from Hell, Ukrainian oligarchs, more sex, more drugs, and, of course, his responsibilities to the leader of the free world. With midterm elections around the corner, select committee investigations and FBI raids on the home of a former president, the new film, My Son Hunter could not be more aptly timed.

The trailer will be released on August 26, 2022 and the film will follow on September 7, 2022, on mysonhunter.com and is available for Pre-Purchase NOW .

“Breitbart has always believed freedom flourishes with more voices, not less,” said Breitbart CEO Larry Solov. “As we begin distributing films, that belief will be a guiding light. In 2020, Big Tech colluded with the mainstream media to bury one of the biggest political scandals to protect their chosen presidential candidate. It was unprecedented and outrageous. My Son Hunter is a film they never wanted you to see, which is precisely why Americans must.”

“This is not a true story, except for all the facts.” That is the opening line of the brand new narrative film My Son Hunter . The line is delivered by Gina Carano, who not only plays a Secret Service agent, but also serves as a narrator of sorts, guiding viewers through the insane world of President Biden’s now infamous son, Hunter.

This slick looking film is not a documentary, but it may as well be, with a storyline built upon the unbelievable details of Hunter Biden’s personal life and corrupt business dealings that only those hungry for the truth may be aware of.

THIS is the story that the mainstream media and Big Tech hid from the American people . It’s also the film that had Hunter Biden’s attorney so nervous that he infiltrated the set during filming, posing as a documentarian.

Working with producers Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney, and off a script from Brian Gadawa, My Son Hunter director Robert Davi went to great lengths to create a visually stunning world in order to present Hunter Biden on full display and with a sense of irony, comedy, and maybe even a tiny bit of dark humanity. Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow said, “Robert Davi is a true industry pro and has had a storied career in Hollywood, but what people might not know about him is that he was a friend to Andrew Breitbart, as well as the rest of us at Breitbart News. He’s made a wildly entertaining film that looks unlike anything that’s come out of the conservative movement.”

“Working with Breitbart on this project made perfect sense to me. They’ve always been the first ones through the door, taking on the media, and waging the culture war,” Davi said. “Given my friendship with Andrew, it’s a poignant moment for me to have this film represent Breitbart’s entry into the world of cinema, especially since the establishment media covered up the story of Hunter Biden in the most cynical of ways.”

Hunter, who is played by Laurence Fox, finds himself doing all the wrong things in all the wrong places with all the wrong people, when he meets a young naive stripper. Grace Anderson (Emma Gojkovic) doesn’t know much about politics, but gets a crash course as she gets closer and closer to the son of President Biden (John James). My Son Hunter puts the lens squarely on Hunter, his corrupt business dealings, his relationship with his father, and a lifestyle that would make rock stars jealous. But through the haze of a crack pipe and above the din of the parties and the outbursts …somewhere lies the truth.

Hayden Disses Breitbart: ‘Illegitimate’ And ‘Kind Of Scary’ | The Daily Wire

by www.dailywire.com Leave a Comment

In an interview with Business Insider ’s Oliver Darcy, Former Central Agency (CIA) Director Michael Hayden described Breitbart as a news media outlet with an illegitimate worldview that operated in a realm of fiction.

“There are some outlets that have incredibly powerful lenses by which they view the facts they collect. I think the Breitbart and the likes are off the chart in terms of shaping data to meet the preconceptions,” said Hayden.

Hayden described Breitbart as animated by an “illegitimate worldview,” engaging in distortion of facts:

“They have a worldview, and they are playing with it. I think it’s an illegitimate worldview, and I think it’s a non-fact-based worldview. It’s a worldview in which preexisting visions seem to be being used to distort the fact pattern that exists.

Presumably invited to do so by Darcy, Hayden described as “very troubling” the premise that President Donald Trump “[seems] to value Breitbart reports over data compiled by intelligence agencies.”

“You have a Breitbart News story essentially launching the Starfleet of the federal government about one of the most horrible political scandals in American history, if true,” said Hayden.

“Breitbart doesn’t do any creative journalism — it just moves the parts around,” said Hayden. He claimed others had told him Breitbart misrepresents information it sources from other news media outlets.

Hayden pushed the left-wing and Democrat narrative of the news media landscape operating in a “postfact world” as a function of the rise of right-wing, conservative, and anti-communist news media outlets.

“It’s kind of scary — a postfact world. How does intelligence survive in a postfact world?” asked Hayden.

Hayden also drew parallels between English-language propaganda outlets operated by the Russian state such as Russia Today (RT) and “conservative American” news media outlets and personalities such as the Drudge Report , Sean Hannity, and Breitbart .

“There are powerful parallels between the Russian narrative and things being said [by conservative American/pro-Trump news media outlets],” said Hayden, alleging the existence of “an amazing consistency” in perspectives across the aforementioned news media outlets.

No such comments were published regarding the broad commonalities between narratives pushed by left-wing and Democrat-aligned news media outlets (i.e. CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times , and The Washington Post ) and English-language propaganda outlets operated by both allied and adversarial governments (i.e. the United Kingdom’s BCC, Canada’s CBC, France’s France24, Russia’s RT and Sputnik , Qatar’s Al-Jazeera, and Iran’s PressTV).

Hayden’s former roles in the federal bureaucracy include Director of the National Security Agency under former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence under former President George W. Bush, and Director of the CIA under former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.

Hayden retired from the US Air Force in 2008 as a four-star general.

UPDATE: Google’s Millions To Be Dished Out By San Jose Group

A new San Jose advisory group authorized to give out millions in grant funding from Google is now in the making.

By Jana Kadah, San Jose Spotlight

August 16, 2022

A new San Jose advisory group authorized to give out millions in grant funding from Google is now in the making.

Approximately $155 million in funding from the Silicon Valley tech giant will soon be funneled into a 13-member advisory commission appointed by the San Jose City Council. Known as the Community Stabilization and Opportunity Pathways Fund Commission, the group will determine how to disperse millions to communities at risk of being priced out of San Jose, as well as funding education and entrepreneurship opportunities for residents.

Councilmembers unanimously approved a structure and scope of the 13-member committee on Tuesday. The city aims to fill the positions by the end of this year.

Members will be able to serve two consecutive four-year terms. Five of the members will be San Jose residents who have lived experience with homelessness, and eight must have technical experience with housing, mental health, health care or other community services. The commission will also include non-voting members—three city representatives, one Google rep and potentially representatives from other major funders.

Several residents and advocates from nonprofits like Sacred Heart spoke in favor of the goals and structure of the advisory committee.

“This is a really monumental opportunity,” said Huascar Castro, associate director of housing and transportation policy at Working Partnerships USA. “Along with having dollars readily available to combat displacement, we’re also very supportive of this model, where community members with lived experience are going to have the ability to decide how stabilization fund dollars are being allocated.”

Councilmember Dev Davis, who represents part of downtown where a major Google development is planned , said she is excited but hopes to have more participation from residents near the construction.

“There should be a greater level of representation from those neighborhoods that are going to be impacted the most,” Davis said. “But this is a change that will be for all San Joseans.”

Applications to fill the positions will open six to eight weeks after approval. Commissioners will then work to determine the bylaws and hire a fund manager who will administer the grant-making process and recommend qualified grant recipients. The group will then create a five-year plan to distribute funds.

Nanci Klein, director of economic development, said the plans will likely be ready around 2024-25. She said her favorite part of the advisory committee is the way the city will choose who sits on the commission.

“It is putting the decision making in the hands of the people who are closest to the problems who have either experienced the programs themselves, or who are working day in and day out, solve them or make them better,” Klein told San José Spotlight. “I think it hasn’t been done and it’s exciting to be jumping into that.”

When Google’s Downtown West project was approved in May 2021 , the tech behemoth agreed to shell out $200 million to help minimize displacement from the thousands of tech workers moving into the downtown to live, which would potentially increase the housing costs.

The multi-billion-dollar development will take about a decade to complete. It will cover 80 acres near Diridon Station, and Google anticipates up to 25,000 people working in its downtown offices. The campus will feature 7.3 million square feet of office space, 4,000 residences, 15 acres of parks and a large community center.

So far, the company has provided $4.5 million for education, job training, scholarships and strengthening neighborhood-serving programs—funding that is not part of the $155 million.

The $155 million was expected to be dispersed after construction finished, but Google voluntarily agreed to make a $15 million payment to the fund within 120 days of starting construction on the first Downtown West office building, city officials said.

Advocates and residents opposed to the Google Downtown West project cited concerns the massive development would increase the cost of living—particularly housing—and create displacement.

Homeless advocate RJ Ramsey said he shares these concerns, but is optimistic about the advisory group.

“I’m ecstatic that the commission is nearing fruition,” Ramsey told San José Spotlight. “For individuals and businesses displaced by the impending Google village, this is a key avenue to regain stability and prosperity.”

Ramsey, who was homeless for several years, said he is particularly excited to have five seats dedicated to people who know what it’s like to live in the streets, cars or without a stable home.

“Usually there is only one seat reserved for those with lived experiences and you feel tokenized and it’s hard to speak up,” Ramsey said. “So this is great because before they vote we can say ‘well, this doesn’t really work’ because we have gone through it.”
