Audio Extraction: The Benny Johnson State-Actors Remark
Media pending. No content identifier has been recorded for this item yet, so it cannot be played here. The write-up below is complete.
What This Video Is
Strictly speaking, it is not a video at all. This entry is the audio track extracted from the 51-second Benny Johnson clip, saved as a separate MP3 alongside the original file. It has no picture, no IPFS identifier, and therefore nothing to play here.
The video it came from is archived on its own page: Benny Johnson: "Considerable Evidence That There Were State Actors". That is the page to read. This one exists because the extraction is a distinct file in the archive with its own transcript, and the index records what is held rather than silently merging duplicates.
Audio extractions are made routinely in this archive so that speech can be transcribed cleanly and, where necessary, examined acoustically without the video container in the way. Keeping the extraction listed separately means the transcript on record can always be traced back to the exact file it was produced from.
What Is Said
Identical to the source clip, and reproduced here because the transcript is the only content this entry has:
"Yes, there's reason for people to believe that this is a professional hit job. John Solomon. He's an excellent reporter. And Steven Crowder has some leaked information. I want to talk about that. I want to begin by saying that I'm very, very close with Charlie and his team. And here is the thing that I -- here's what I wish to relate to you from that: that there is some considerable evidence that there were state actors involved here. That's it. I don't want to go any further than that. I can't go any further than that."
The commentator Benny Johnson is the only speaker. He states a belief that state actors were involved, names no state and no agency, gives proximity to Kirk and his team as his basis, gestures at two other people as holding material he does not describe, and then stops.
This site reports that he said it. It does not adopt the conclusion and does not identify any state or agency, because he did not. The analysis of the remark, including what can and cannot be read into his phrasing, is on the video page linked above.
One note specific to this file: the extracted audio matches the video's audio exactly. There is no additional material, no extra length, and nothing audible in the extraction that is not audible in the source.
