Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec - EPISODE 303： DHS Leaks BOMBSHELL Rocks 2022, We have the receipts

00:00:00.000 The DHS leaks, the Department of Homeland Security, massive leak coming out today.

00:00:06.880 Documents, emails, text messages showing the buddy-buddy relationship between the Department

00:00:13.120 of Homeland Security, our national security agencies, and Twitter, Facebook, Wikipedia,

00:00:19.800 Google, and even JPMorgan Chase.

00:00:22.360 So much to dig into today.

00:00:24.420 And in order to go through all of it, I am joined by Joel Barry, the managing editor

00:00:28.940 of everyone's favorite website, The Babylon Bee.

00:00:32.400 But first, I want to remind you guys that tickets are now available.

00:00:35.900 December 17th to the 20th, Phoenix, Arizona, America Fest.

00:00:39.340 Join Charlie Kirk, Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, myself, Benny Johnson, Josh Hawley, Kaylee

00:00:44.180 McEnany, Candace Owens, Tim Pool, Lauren Chen, George Farmer, Mike Lindell, Lauren Boebert,

00:00:48.060 and Allie Stuckey with promo code POSO, 25% off at AmFest.com.

00:00:52.300 Secure your tickets immediately, AmFest.com, promo code POSO.

00:00:58.940 You would certainly concede that if the adult offspring of the President of the United States

00:01:10.560 or the Vice President were compromised, that would be a national security threat, right?

00:01:15.680 We speak through our filings in court, and we speak through our actions in open court.

00:01:22.140 So I would remain in that position.

00:01:24.880 Do you know where Hunter Biden's laptop is?

00:01:26.400 Again, I'm not going to talk about any potential ongoing investigation as I sit here.

00:01:32.240 Do you know where it is?

00:01:33.180 I'm not going to talk about any ongoing investigation as I sit here.

00:01:35.220 You come here and you tell us you follow the facts in the law, but you can't even follow

00:01:38.080 a laptop that you guys have had for three years.

00:01:39.960 We follow the facts in the law, and we speak in open court about our cases.

00:01:44.120 Yeah, but you aren't speaking about this.

00:01:45.440 But you know who is speaking about it?

00:01:46.900 The whistleblowers from the FBI who've gone to Senator Grassley and said that you guys

00:01:52.000 purposefully take any information that is derogatory about Hunter Biden, and you go and rat hole

00:01:59.080 it so that you never have to speak about it in any circumstance.

00:02:01.680 But the good news is you're not the only ones with that laptop.

00:02:04.880 Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily, powered by Turning

00:02:09.620 Point USA.

00:02:11.020 Today is October 31st, 2022.

00:02:13.360 Anno Domini.

00:02:14.440 It is All Hallows Eve.

00:02:17.420 Today, we've got an incredible story for all of you to dig into.

00:02:23.240 Newly leaked documents from the Department of Homeland Security.

00:02:28.700 Everything you thought was going on, it's actually worse.

00:02:33.440 We've got information that was first leaked to The Intercept of meetings that were held

00:02:39.960 between the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, Twitter, Facebook, Wikipedia, JP Morgan

00:02:47.840 Chase, and many other big tech firms that started in 2020 and have been ongoing throughout the

00:02:55.580 years and months since, all about censoring disinformation, content moderation, shutting

00:03:03.280 down your freedom of speech here on the Internet.

00:03:07.100 We're going to break this down and get through all of it.

00:03:09.140 Joining me today is the great Joel Berry, managing editor of The Babylon Bee.

00:03:13.840 Joel, thanks so much for coming on.

00:03:15.480 Thanks for having me.

00:03:16.360 Appreciate it.

00:03:16.820 So this first story, and as we sit here, it's trending on Twitter.

00:03:21.700 It's currently number four.

00:03:23.300 Obviously, you guys can't see that because Babylon Bee is locked out of Twitter, but we've got

00:03:27.960 text messages and emails now that basically tell us that these tech firms, which include

00:03:34.240 Wikipedia, by the way, and Google and all the rest, even JP Morgan Chase, a financial

00:03:38.460 institution, are working hand in hand with the federal government to censor stories like

00:03:45.840 the Hunter Biden laptop.

00:03:47.180 That's confirmed, by the way.

00:03:48.760 Vijaya Gade, who was just fired by Elon.

00:03:51.220 We'll talk more about that in the next segment, was a part of this.

00:03:54.700 Microsoft executives, they got a text message from the one guy saying, we need the platforms

00:03:59.340 need to become more comfortable in their relationship with the government.

00:04:03.240 That's verbatim text messages from Microsoft executive that's coming out in this.

00:04:07.940 Some of the other topics that they're telling us include the origins of COVID, even up to

00:04:13.840 and including Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan was something that they were looking at stopping

00:04:20.200 the spread of what is going on.

00:04:23.180 Why are our tech companies essentially becoming agencies like out of 1984?

00:04:29.960 Yeah, well, I think it's something that we all kind of suspected was going on.

00:04:33.540 Even though almost it's kind of not surprising to see these, it's still quite a shock.

00:04:39.560 And it really kind of confirms what I've thought about these big companies in the sense that

00:04:46.880 they're kind of a way for the government to do what they have always wanted to do that

00:04:52.780 the constitution won't allow.

00:04:53.920 They kind of launder their censorship through these big tech firms.

00:05:00.460 And it's something that we've all kind of felt.

00:05:02.500 We felt it in the Twitter algorithm.

00:05:04.220 We've kind of felt that thumb on the scale of our discourse as we're interacting on different

00:05:10.460 platforms.

00:05:11.720 And to see it confirmed like this is just wild.

00:05:14.220 But again, kind of not surprised.

00:05:15.980 Well, what's crazy to me is that, you know, a place like the Babylon Bee would get targeted

00:05:22.000 so much, whether it's for misinformation or hate or whatever.

00:05:26.640 I mean, you guys do satire.

00:05:28.620 It's jokes.

00:05:29.600 It's meant to be funny.

00:05:30.880 And obviously, good satire obviously, you know, has a bit of a sting to it.

00:05:34.520 So it has that realism edge to it.

00:05:36.260 But why is it that satire is so dangerous to this group of people?

00:05:41.120 Well, yeah, I think satire is something that the right is kind of only recently waking

00:05:47.140 up to.

00:05:47.600 But it's something that the left has been good at for decades.

00:05:50.340 I mean, going back to, you know, Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, you know, he talks about

00:05:54.260 the power of mockery.

00:05:57.160 And it's something that the right has never really employed effectively.

00:06:00.520 So I think when the Babylon Bee started doing what we're doing, I think the left immediately

00:06:05.300 recognized the power and the danger that it posed to them and to their narrative.

00:06:10.340 And to their agenda.

00:06:13.040 And I think, you know, the people who knew knew that it had to be stopped one way or another.

00:06:17.420 And they came at us, you know, more blatantly in the beginning, you know, with with Snopes

00:06:22.040 and fact checks.

00:06:23.200 And now it's a lot more sneaky.

00:06:24.720 Now it's done through the algorithm.

00:06:26.580 And as we know now, through these kind of backdoor meetings with the government, you

00:06:32.220 know, that's in our book, The Babylon Bee Guide to Democracy.

00:06:34.740 We talk about in one of our chapters that the fourth branch of government being the corporate

00:06:39.180 branch. And that's that's essentially what the government's done is they, you know, all

00:06:42.520 these things that they are unable to do that the Constitution doesn't allow them to do, they

00:06:47.880 can accomplish through the deep state, through the regulatory agencies in partnership with

00:06:52.820 these corporations that have grown so powerful.

00:06:56.320 And their relationship with the government is more important to them than their relationship

00:07:02.680 to consumers, to advertisers and things like that.

00:07:05.380 And so I think what what Elon's doing is pretty exciting, just kind of going in there and

00:07:10.160 blowing it all up.

00:07:11.520 No, I agree.

00:07:12.300 And I want to get into that in the next segment, because the way I keep looking at it is these

00:07:16.580 people have had so much power for so long, really in the past six years, they've had the

00:07:23.020 ability to just become super powerful.

00:07:25.920 Right.

00:07:26.300 These these are preternatural powers that are beyond that.

00:07:28.960 It's sort of like, you know, when you're in the Matrix, the agents have more power than everybody

00:07:33.520 else, right, except for Keanu Reeves.

00:07:35.580 But we all know Keanu Reeves is the most powerful human that ever lived.

00:07:38.640 But they, you know, they have the ability to teleport and jump and fly into all these

00:07:43.900 things.

00:07:44.640 And so these hall monitors, the school marms, the censorship, the organizations, the disinfo

00:07:51.000 journalists.

00:07:51.640 And they're out there crying on MSNBC this morning saying, well, we we can't ban Elon.

00:07:56.740 There's nothing we can do.

00:07:57.900 He can spread whatever he wants and promote this and go after that.

00:08:01.780 And it's like, yeah, that's how the Internet was.

00:08:04.840 That's how the world is on a regular basis.

00:08:06.820 You know, if you and I are just talking in person, there's no intermediary.

00:08:10.640 But what they've used is these platforms.

00:08:12.400 We only got a minute left as a way to stifle that communication.

00:08:17.420 Yeah, well, I mean, you might remember the early days of YouTube.

00:08:20.020 I remember, you know, when when Ben Shapiro clips used to go viral and and people would

00:08:25.620 be convinced.

00:08:26.120 I've talked to many people who who became conservative through the YouTube algorithm

00:08:30.660 until they wised up and realized that it was helping conservatives because our message

00:08:35.100 is powerful.

00:08:36.040 Oh, that's why they shut it all down.

00:08:37.320 And they know that that's that's why they had to shut it all down.

00:08:39.700 That's why Twitter shut down Periscope, because people like me and others and all it was all

00:08:43.280 conservatives, all conservatives.

00:08:44.540 They were doing well.

00:08:45.880 That's I tweeted Elon.

00:08:46.760 He's talking about bringing Vine back.

00:08:48.080 I say, bring Periscope.

00:08:49.120 Let me live stream.

00:08:50.600 Don't give me any special favors.

00:08:52.160 Don't give me any special, you know, guidance or powers or advance, whatever.

00:08:57.040 No, you want me to pay?

00:08:57.800 I'll pay something fine, whatever it is.

00:08:59.880 I just want the same playing field as everybody else.

00:09:02.820 And by the way, the government needs to get out of it.

00:09:06.440 Stay tuned.

00:09:06.780 Be right back here.

00:09:07.880 Joel Barry, managing editor of Babylon Bee.

00:09:12.480 All across the country, Americans are discovering that if we want to change this nation, we have

00:09:16.300 to change the way the marketplace works.

00:09:18.180 What corporations are seeking to divide us?

00:09:20.800 Big banks are freezing the accounts of people who disagree with their political views, and

00:09:24.920 our supply chain is dependent upon countries that actively work against our values.

00:09:29.060 And it is time for a change.

00:09:30.480 That change starts with you and your wallet.

00:09:32.700 That's why I am proud to partner with Public Square, the largest directory of freedom-loving

00:09:36.860 businesses our nation has ever seen.

00:09:39.120 Public Square is the first app to connect freedom-loving Americans with their local community and

00:09:42.960 the businesses that share their values.

00:09:45.100 Whether you want to support a restaurant that only buys from local farms, a coffee shop that

00:09:49.600 took a stand against the COVID mandates, or a bank that would never cancel you for political

00:09:52.840 views, Public Square is your guide.

00:09:55.240 Just download the Public Square app from the Apple App Store or Google Play, create a free

00:09:58.800 account, and begin your search.

00:10:04.240 Download the app today.

00:10:05.160 Public Square.

00:10:05.740 That's Public Square.

00:10:06.440 Public SQ.

00:10:07.340 Elon Musk says he's putting his $44 billion deal to buy Twitter on hold until the company

00:10:16.120 can back its estimate of how many bots are on the platform.

00:10:19.840 So why is Musk so concerned about bots?

00:10:23.380 Twitter has said that less than 5% of its daily users are false or spam accounts.

00:10:29.860 But Musk, who struck a deal to buy the social media site on April 25th, is skeptical, tweeting

00:10:35.200 three weeks later, my offer was based on Twitter's SEC filings being accurate.

00:10:40.520 Musk also said Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal refused to show proof that fake and spam accounts make

00:10:46.580 up less than 5% of users.

00:10:48.760 So Elon Musk, if you've been on Twitter this entire past weekend, you know, I'd encourage

00:10:54.200 you to go there.

00:10:54.860 Of course, follow us at human events pod on Twitter.

00:10:58.060 This has been a sea change kind of weekend because he's tweeting stuff about Paul Pelosi.

00:11:03.560 He's tweeting internal messages from Twitter inside their internal.

00:11:09.000 It looks like a message board or maybe a Slack channel.

00:11:11.820 He's going into the nuts and bolts of Twitter itself.

00:11:16.340 And he owns all of this.

00:11:18.020 He owns your direct messages.

00:11:19.320 He owns the direct messages.

00:11:20.440 You know, that little terms of service you have to click there.

00:11:22.800 Every journalist in the world.

00:11:24.080 Guess what?

00:11:24.440 He owns your DMS now.

00:11:25.480 Elon Musk owns them.

00:11:26.440 That's what the terms of service state.

00:11:28.700 All this stuff.

00:11:29.640 It's it's like Neo going into the matrix.

00:11:31.680 You know, what happens if I press this button?

00:11:33.300 What happens if I press that button?

00:11:35.000 And he just, by the way, dissolved the entire Twitter board, which obviously is a step towards

00:11:39.620 going private.

00:11:40.200 So he's the sole member of the board of directors of Twitter.

00:11:42.820 Now he's going to be taking it private.

00:11:44.420 But, Joel, we know what really happened here, don't we?

00:11:46.940 This all started with the lockout of the Babylon Bee and Elon getting mad about that and decided

00:11:53.040 to do something about it, isn't it?

00:11:55.200 Yeah.

00:11:55.420 Yeah.

00:11:55.620 It's all it's all our thank us.

00:11:57.700 It's all your fault because he dead made Rachel Levine.

00:12:01.840 That's what it's all comes down to that.

00:12:03.680 Yeah.

00:12:04.040 I mean, well, you know, Elon's been a fan of comedy for a long time.

00:12:07.600 I remember years ago him talking about how much he loved the onion.

00:12:11.080 And then, you know, years later, how he kind of switched over to the bee.

00:12:15.880 And and so I you know, I don't think that we were the sole reason by by any means, but

00:12:20.700 it may have been kind of maybe the straw that broke the camel's back.

00:12:23.800 I don't know.

00:12:25.380 Well, what's what's amazing to me, though, is looking at this, the news as we're facing

00:12:30.920 it, it seems as though he's going through bit by bit, because I saw at one point it's

00:12:35.320 not just Elon.

00:12:36.060 That's what people need to understand.

00:12:37.120 It's like he's the only guy.

00:12:38.140 I mean, of course, the you know, you see him with the saying coming in very, very strong

00:12:42.280 visual persuasion, Neo into entering the matrix, taking it over from the architect's chair.

00:12:46.760 But there was a guy who got fired on Twitter, a senior product coordinator who actually tweeted

00:12:53.540 that the reason that he was fired is because Elon's got his whole team from Tesla now come

00:12:59.420 over to the platform and they're going through the code line by line.

00:13:03.000 And they're looking at the coders and saying, look, we're just checking to see if you haven't

00:13:08.040 posted anything into the code in the last six months, the last four months, or if you're

00:13:12.920 not posting a lot.

00:13:13.920 Now they're going to you and ask having ever it's like I've seen an office space, right?

00:13:17.580 Saying, what would you say you do here?

00:13:20.220 And they're basically if you don't have a good answer, they're giving you the boot.

00:13:23.720 And this guy said they were doing that.

00:13:25.100 And then a couple hours later, he goes, well, I've been fired from the bird app.

00:13:28.880 Wow.

00:13:29.800 Well, that's I mean, I kind of am I'm really excited to see what comes out over the next

00:13:34.460 few weeks.

00:13:34.880 I think we've all kind of just had this sense that there's shenanigans shenanigans going

00:13:39.240 on in the background.

00:13:40.140 I just recently I I was looking at the race.

00:13:44.280 I think it was at Mike Lee who's running in is it Utah for for Senate there and the the

00:13:51.760 leftists that he's running against.

00:13:53.460 I just kind of did a little comparison of the of their Twitter profiles.

00:13:57.160 You know, Mike Lee, more followers than the leftist and his tweets might get, you know,

00:14:03.740 50, 60 likes a piece, whereas the leftist is getting like, I mean, every single one of

00:14:07.960 his tweets the last couple of weeks have been going viral.

00:14:10.240 Five.

00:14:10.460 And the question is, why?

00:14:11.460 Why is that?

00:14:12.100 Is that what's going on?

00:14:13.300 Is that right?

00:14:14.160 Right.

00:14:14.860 Obviously, there's you know, there's a question of is Twitter showing favorability towards

00:14:19.060 that people who's verified, who's not verified.

00:14:21.620 I like that he's talking about opening up that process.

00:14:24.300 And there's this whole sense, though.

00:14:26.180 But let's let's tie the two together, because do you think then so is they have this relationship,

00:14:31.260 I guess, with the federal government?

00:14:32.660 They're working with the FBI.

00:14:34.020 They're working with DHS.

00:14:35.960 How amenable is Elon going to be to that?

00:14:38.540 Because it seems to me like not at all, really.

00:14:42.240 Yeah, it doesn't seem so.

00:14:44.860 I think of all the people in the world to do the job, Elon seems to kind of most fit the

00:14:50.580 bill because he's he's not he's motivated by other things that kind of transcend money

00:14:55.960 and partnerships with the government.

00:14:57.100 He said again and again that, you know, that an application where people can have a free

00:15:02.440 discourse is he sees it as essential to the future survival of humanity.

00:15:07.080 So he's got he's he's not really motivated by money here.

00:15:09.980 And I I don't think he'll be really to take too kindly to these secret government partnerships.

00:15:15.180 And I think one thing that we're learning, too, just in the previous story is that, you

00:15:20.480 know, it you know, Twitter, social media is so powerful and the government is going to

00:15:26.360 do whatever they can get away with.

00:15:27.660 If they can wield that power to further their agenda, if they can wield it against you,

00:15:33.300 they will do it as long as they can, as long as no one stops them.

00:15:37.240 How much and no, I was going to say, how much would you love to be sitting in that meeting

00:15:41.900 the very first time that the FBI rolls in?

00:15:44.380 It's Elon Musk at the head of Twitter in San Francisco.

00:15:47.880 Elon, you know, there's a story coming out.

00:15:50.180 You know, we've got a new laptop.

00:15:51.740 It turns out Hunter left one in Shanghai and we've got it.

00:15:55.200 We've we're going to, you know, Steve Bannon and Jack Posobiec got a hold of it.

00:15:58.540 The Babylon B's going through it right now.

00:16:00.620 We're going to need you to shut that down.

00:16:02.240 And Elon's just sitting there going, no, I'll tweet this out.

00:16:06.660 He would tweet it out.

00:16:08.340 He would start live.

00:16:09.460 He starts live streaming.

00:16:10.860 FBI just came into my office.

00:16:12.600 This is interesting.

00:16:13.820 Here, I've got to put some pictures of the agents.

00:16:16.180 And that's why they're panicking.

00:16:17.420 They're they're panicking because they they see that they've lost a very, very important

00:16:21.300 tool in losing Twitter.

00:16:23.340 And so I think that the attacks, you know, we see this attack against his his ad revenue.

00:16:28.720 We saw this these bot accounts, these 300 bots that that spammed Twitter with like 50,000

00:16:33.900 racial slurs on Friday.

00:16:35.580 That I bet you that's all coming from the left.

00:16:37.600 I bet you that's all coming from the left.

00:16:39.360 It's all manufactured.

00:16:40.880 It's sabotage.

00:16:41.440 It's all sabotage.

00:16:42.500 Absolutely.

00:16:43.220 Yeah, I agree.

00:16:44.380 Yeah.

00:16:44.980 So, you know, I think if it's not this, it's going to be others.

00:16:47.980 And I think we have to kind of be aware that any of these attacks, we have to be willing

00:16:53.040 to look past them and find out what the real motivations are until things settle down for

00:16:57.200 sure.

00:16:58.200 No, I completely agree.

00:16:59.020 And I love the idea of him saying, look, you know, people are going to be let back on

00:17:02.340 Jordan Peterson.

00:17:03.340 I mean, I imagine Babylon B is something that he would look at.

00:17:07.360 I've called basically just for general amnesty, complete general amnesty on all lifetime

00:17:12.820 bans.

00:17:13.140 I think the idea of a lifetime ban and that's something that Elon has talked about as well

00:17:16.820 is just ridiculous, right?

00:17:18.380 How can you ban a person forever from the platform? 0.92

00:17:21.080 I mean, if they're not conducting, you know, criminal activity, right?

00:17:24.100 If it's First Amendment protected speech, why are you banning someone for a lifetime?

00:17:28.240 You know, take out a tweet or, you know, get, you know, a lockout.

00:17:32.200 That's one thing.

00:17:33.180 We can talk about all of that.

00:17:34.420 But if you're going to take someone down for their entire life, no, it doesn't make

00:17:37.060 sense.

00:17:38.020 Yeah, especially when you consider the people that are still on Twitter.

00:17:41.380 Yeah, right.

00:17:41.920 No, precisely.

00:17:44.100 Right.

00:17:44.600 So we've all seen, you know, they set up, well, Alex Berenson or Alec Berenson got back

00:17:48.960 on because they set up a three strike rule for COVID misinformation and then they banned

00:17:52.720 him after one strike, right?

00:17:54.020 So they weren't even following their own three strikes rule.

00:17:56.660 And that's how in his lawsuit.

00:17:58.120 And I think that's one as well, by the way, where Berenson said that he's going to Elon

00:18:03.980 Musk to see if, because obviously the settlement was made with Twitter.

00:18:07.800 Now Elon runs Twitter.

00:18:08.740 He said, look, you know, can I go public with the full details of my settlement?

00:18:15.340 Joel Berry, stick with us.

00:18:16.660 One more segment.

00:18:17.540 I want to hold you over because we got to talk about something else that's going on down

00:18:20.920 in Houston, Texas with the truth of vote folks.

00:18:23.160 Okay, here's how it works.

00:18:27.760 Charging higher interest is how banks make more money and they take a lot more of your

00:18:32.440 hard-earned money.

00:18:33.100 If your credit score is just okay, but not great score master is the new science in accelerating

00:18:38.900 credit scores.

00:18:39.660 And it puts you in control of your money, not the bank.

00:18:42.660 Say your credit is 700 and you're borrowing 500 grand to refi your home.

00:18:47.540 Starting at score master could save you over 75 grand over the life of your loan.

00:18:52.000 That 75 grand is your money, not the banks.

00:18:55.060 That's the genius behind the score master three week rule.

00:18:59.220 What's the three week rule?

00:19:00.440 Well, especially now with soaring interest rates, no matter what your credit score before

00:19:03.880 you apply for any loan, auto lease or credit start at score master.

00:19:07.580 It only takes a minute to get started and you can add 60 to a hundred points in about

00:19:11.920 three weeks.

00:19:13.400 Life has enough regrets.

00:19:15.420 Don't add paying higher interest rates to the list.

00:19:18.760 Visit score master.com slash POSO for your special seven day trial.

00:19:22.120 Again, your special seven day trial is waiting for you at score master.com slash POSO link

00:19:26.700 in the description.

00:19:30.140 I think the operative word that we saw across 2020, um, despite the continued refrain that it

00:19:37.080 was the safest and most secure election ever.

00:19:42.340 In fact, in our opinion, it was quite the opposite.

00:19:46.960 Lawlessness seemed to rule the day.

00:19:50.920 We must commit all of us to now being engaged in the process for the betterment of the process.

00:19:58.820 Yes, continuing to vote clearly, but also to help to support your legislature, legislators

00:20:04.880 to, to work in community, to reach out to the party or candidate of your choice and ask how

00:20:10.140 you can be involved in elections.

00:20:11.920 Be a part of the solution.

00:20:14.340 We must find our way back.

00:20:16.180 We must find our way back to the sanctity of the vote that unites us as Americans.

00:20:22.520 We can find our way back.

00:20:24.060 So that's Catherine Engelbrecht of true, the vote.

00:20:27.180 She's sitting there with Greg Phillips, but she's not sitting and hearing today.

00:20:31.380 She's sitting behind bars in a federal prison. 0.99

00:20:35.740 Why?

00:20:36.660 Because she's being held in contempt along with Greg Phillips over this case where they claimed

00:20:42.720 that Eugene, you, who was the CEO of Conak, right?

00:20:45.900 There's a little bit of a convoluted story here.

00:20:47.640 They claimed that he was storing data on servers in China.

00:20:51.380 Well, he sued them for, for defamation.

00:20:54.440 Then he gets arrested by the feds for storing data on servers in China.

00:20:58.640 But for some reason, the defamation case is still going through and they're refusing to

00:21:03.380 give up a confidential informant that they claim is where they got this information from.

00:21:08.440 The judge holds them in contempt.

00:21:11.020 So as we sit here right now, Joel, Catherine and Greg are behind bars.

00:21:16.340 Is this normal?

00:21:18.400 Is this how our country usually works?

00:21:20.320 This seems a little different to me.

00:21:22.040 I don't know.

00:21:22.400 This seems like something that you'd see in like, I don't know, China or Cuba or I mean,

00:21:27.580 not that you can vote there.

00:21:28.660 Maybe Russia. 0.58

00:21:29.460 I don't know.

00:21:29.980 It's this is like the whole story is insane to me.

00:21:33.220 Yeah.

00:21:33.540 I, you know, say what you will about the election.

00:21:35.840 You know, I don't know everything that went down to me.

00:21:39.960 The the the insane like foaming at the mouth, forceful opposition to any attempt to even

00:21:46.440 raise questions or do any checking or investigation is more telling to me than anything else.

00:21:51.020 I just that the whole reaction of from the left, from the government to anyone just wanting

00:21:57.020 to ask questions just seems so suspicious to me.

00:22:01.100 You know, and the fact that they would you know that they would get this this poor woman 0.99

00:22:04.680 who's doing good journalistic work, she's doing the job that the journalists should

00:22:09.380 be doing, you know, that they would they would go after her like this on kind of a

00:22:13.480 process crime.

00:22:14.820 That's scary in and of itself.

00:22:16.040 But it's also a reminder that like the feds, like if they want to get you, they can get

00:22:19.760 you.

00:22:20.040 It doesn't matter how law abiding you think you are.

00:22:23.000 They can get you.

00:22:24.280 And it's it's kind of a scary thought.

00:22:27.020 I don't know.

00:22:28.100 No, I mean, it's it's this idea that, you know, and by the way, you know, look, I, you

00:22:32.480 know, I'd go to jail to protect a source, too.

00:22:34.620 I'd go behind bars.

00:22:35.660 I'd do whatever they have to do, because otherwise no one's ever going to be a source

00:22:38.440 for me again or for human events.

00:22:40.180 And when when you look at this, it's look.

00:22:44.360 And by the way, go watch 2000 Mules, go go for everybody out there in the audience.

00:22:48.900 Go check it out.

00:22:50.020 Go see what they have to say.

00:22:51.420 And if you disagree, that's fine, too.

00:22:53.200 Go make your own response to it.

00:22:54.740 That's how the system is supposed to work.

00:22:56.180 It's the thing called freedom of speech.

00:22:57.900 And yet we have this group of people out there who tells us we have to protect democracy.

00:23:02.000 We have to defend democracy.

00:23:03.320 And we're going to lock up people that are trying to secure voting rights here in America.

00:23:08.660 But the Babylon Bee, Joel, you guys have a whole book out that's explaining how democracy

00:23:13.360 is supposed to work to us.

00:23:14.720 Tell us about the new book.

00:23:15.560 Yeah, well, it was kind of inspired by kind of that that refrain that you hear from the

00:23:20.520 left all the time, you know, that we must defend we must protect our holy democracy,

00:23:25.500 you know, and anything that is in opposition to them or anyone that disagrees with them

00:23:29.420 is a threat to democracy.

00:23:30.580 And so that kind of is where this book came from.

00:23:33.420 But it's a it's a really fun book.

00:23:35.420 It's it's kind of a bit of a civics lesson combined with a lot of satire and a lot of really

00:23:39.840 funny pictures in it.

00:23:41.640 We talk about, you know, the branches of government, how government's supposed to work, how it actually

00:23:46.760 works.

00:23:47.140 We talk about lobbyists.

00:23:48.420 We talk about, oh, that's great.

00:23:49.360 You know, how how politicians are purchased and how they go for sale.

00:23:53.360 We talk about the fourth branch of government, which is the corporate branch.

00:23:56.540 And so it's Washington's such a mess that that it almost is funny.

00:24:01.580 I mean, corruption, while corruption is disturbing and damaging, there is something that's very

00:24:06.120 funny about it when you watch all these people who kind of think so highly of themselves,

00:24:09.360 you know, there's an old there's an old meme that, you know, and I certainly come up with

00:24:14.780 this, but it's this idea that all the politicians should have to wear uniforms like in NASCAR

00:24:19.680 that they put all their sponsors on their suits.

00:24:21.920 I'm sure you've heard of it before.

00:24:22.920 But, you know, I still I love that one.

00:24:24.520 I think if we make that a law or, you know, if I ever get appointed in charge of the entire

00:24:28.380 government, I'm just going to make that, you know, that enshrined.

00:24:31.100 So that or even when, you know, maybe you could get a filter for this, that when you see

00:24:34.100 them on TV, it would just pop up.

00:24:35.720 You know, this person is funded by Raytheon, Boeing, all the way down.

00:24:40.200 That'd be wonderful.

00:24:41.220 Let's do it for journalists, too.

00:24:42.640 For goodness sakes.

00:24:43.740 Exactly.

00:24:44.280 You know, this person works for Jeff Bezos.

00:24:46.220 This person works in an organization funded by Google.

00:24:48.220 There actually is on Twitter.

00:24:50.180 I think there's a Chrome extension you can get for for like the NGO people like think tankers

00:24:55.740 that if someone works for a Google funded think tank, you can get it applied to their

00:24:59.980 name on Twitter, but only in your Chrome extension.

00:25:02.280 So it'll say this person works for a Google funded, you know, it's perfect because then

00:25:08.200 you get to know, which again, by the way, is one of those like, you know, they'll put

00:25:14.100 on Twitter, they'll put, you know, this is a Chinese organization.

00:25:17.120 This is a Russian organization, but they won't do it for like BBC or VOA or one of these things.

00:25:21.880 It's like, well, who's drawing the line here?

00:25:24.380 Well, no, that's totally different.

00:25:25.620 Well, why?

00:25:26.500 I mean, it's state NPR.

00:25:27.580 Why doesn't NPR say this is a U.S. government funded organization?

00:25:31.020 Because it is like literally.

00:25:33.500 Yeah.

00:25:34.100 Well, they don't they don't want you to parse the truth out for yourself and judge things

00:25:39.960 based off of the merit of what is actually being said.

00:25:43.220 They want you to, you know, trust things coming from certain authorities.

00:25:46.900 They're approved authorities, you know, so that that way they can label things that they

00:25:52.300 don't want you to believe and don't want you to hear.

00:25:54.140 And so that's exactly right.

00:25:55.480 And that's why the only the only news source that I recommend in the entire world other

00:26:00.340 than human events is the Babylon Bee, the most truthy website on the entire Internet.

00:26:06.160 Joel, thank you so much for joining us today.

00:26:07.640 Where can people go to get your coordinates, find out more about the Bee?

00:26:10.540 And then hopefully, you know, if Elon lets you guys out there, we'll get that news as well.

00:26:15.380 Yeah, yeah.

00:26:15.700 So you can you can find us at Babylon Bee dot com.

00:26:18.060 You can also purchase our book there as well.

00:26:20.280 You can follow me at Joel W.

00:26:22.120 Barry.

00:26:22.940 And hopefully when the Babylon Bee is back on Twitter, you can find us at at the Babylon

00:26:27.260 Bee dot com. 0.81

00:26:28.400 So at the Babylon Bee.

00:26:30.100 Fantastic.

00:26:30.880 Joel, thank you so much for joining us today.

00:26:32.260 Remember, folks, as always, our promise, our oath, our solemn vow to you be good, be brief,

00:26:36.520 be gone.

00:26:37.160 Your homework for us share this out with one, just one of your normie friends, then leave

00:26:39.980 us your five star review.

00:26:40.980 Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your fine podcasts, folks, when we're seeing what's going

00:26:47.120 on today, we are locked in this battle.

00:26:50.920 Liberty versus totalitarianism.

00:26:54.140 Which side do you want to be on?

00:26:55.700 You can see the forces.

00:26:57.700 They are out there on television every morning.

00:27:00.280 You turn on MSNBC, you turn on CNN.

00:27:02.020 They are seething right now.

00:27:03.740 Why are they seething?

00:27:04.760 Because they know they're losing their power.

00:27:07.900 They know they're becoming impotent.

00:27:09.420 They're being forced to have their wings clipped and walk around on two legs just like any other

00:27:14.400 human being, because they know they can't censor Elon Musk.

00:27:18.600 They can't get his tweets taken down.

00:27:20.080 And that means he's going to stop them from shutting down you, from shutting down your

00:27:24.460 family and from shutting down this movement of liberty.

00:27:27.600 Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
