Public patience for being an extra in creator content is wearing thin. As the consumer backlash over privacy and surveillance grows, brands are rewriting the rules around influencer marketing and content creation.

You will begin to see people in the political space, some of whom may have political aspirations, attempt to work with people in their network to plant hit pieces about those they cannot control. I asked @alexbruesewitz if he planted a hit piece about me today because @drewharwell of Washington Post told me Alex was his source when we spoke on the phone and he asked me for comment. He said the information he was asking me about was given to him by Alex. I’m simply saying what the reporter told me. Then Drew told me he was also working on a story about Alex and his business relationship with 1789 Capital and fallout with his business partner at X Strategies. Should be very interesting. When I asked Alex if he planted a hit piece about me, he said, “it was very unprofessional for you to spend the past year and change attacking people as viciously as you have been for disagreeing with you on one foreign policy issue.” Of course, Alex is referring to my support for Israel. He has made it very clear that he is against pro- Israel conservatives, and he is very hostile online towards conservatives who voice support for Israel. Many people have publicly spoken out about this, and some people have even accused Alex of trying to get their accounts banned on X after he viciously attacked them online for speaking out about his interview with Tucker Carlson. Alex views himself as a gatekeeper for all conservatives, because his business revolves around social media, influencer marketing, and being in President Trump’s orbit. His website for X Strategies says one of the services his company offers is “ORGANIC GROWTH & AUTHENTIC MESSAGING! High quality & unique content created just for you!” Of course, all of that is likely distributed on social media. So I find it rather ironic that Alex of all people, who literally has an influencer marketing company, is attacking me for having an opposition research company. Then he said I should “be honest about my relentless attacks on people inside of Trump’s admin including people like Stanley Woodward who is really close with President Trump’s most loyal adviser Dan Scavino, your constant attacks for over a year on @JDVance, your attacks on Don Jr and his business partners.” By business partners, he’s referring to Omeed Malik, who is known for his $15 million seed funding round into Last Country, Inc. (the parent company of the Tucker Carlson Network), co-founded by Tucker Carlson and Neil Patel. Mind you, I’ve never attacked @DonaldJTrumpJr. Interesting. Is Alex saying I am being targeted for exposing the incompetent Democrat Associate Attorney General @ASGWoodward for stonewalling Camp LeJeune veterans, and for reporting on the people who allegedly pay Alex, which may possibly/allegedly include his associates at 1789 Capital? Alex said he didn’t plant a hit piece. But @drewharwell of the Washington Post spent two hours on the phone with me in which I answered all of his questions and he told me Alex is his source for the information he was asking me about. Very interesting. Of course Washington Post @washingtonpost didn’t include any of my quotes either. Then they suggested that I’m taking a break from my show because of their story, when I recorded the video for my show hiatus on Monday night. Alex said I viciously attack people over a foreign policy dispute. Which people? Tucker and co? Everybody can see what’s going on here. People, whoever they may be, can plant hit pieces all they want about me, but you’re not going to get me to turn into a Woke Reich Sympathizer. When is Alex going to shut down his company since he has suddenly decided he is against public affairs work? 🤡 Why the sudden change in tune?
