00:01:31.000We certainly weren't the first show, but we were definitely part of kind of this amplification of calling Joe Biden's new DHS disinformation board the Ministry of Truth.
00:01:41.000If you just type in Ministry of Truth to Google, I mean, there's like an article every five minutes.
00:01:49.000I have to say, this has been one of the most surprising messaging wins for a conservative movement that I've seen in recent memory.
00:01:58.000You type in Ministry of Truth, it's one after the other after the other.
00:02:01.000Joe Biden's disinformation board, likened to Orwell's Ministry of Truth, Fox News, Critics Slam, Biden's Ministry of Truth.
00:02:07.000One after the other, again, we didn't, I saw it somewhere, people were saying it, but it's kind of become this consolidated messaging, and it's totally true.
00:02:14.000Well, on Wednesday, right after Elon Musk has purchased Twitter, the Biden administration, Department of Homeland Security, announced the creation of a disinformation governance board.
00:02:25.000And what they say is to counter the spread of misinformation related to Homeland Security.
00:02:31.000Now, of course, what they mean is ideas they don't like, ideas that don't fit the orthodoxy.
00:02:37.000Elon Musk has tweeted in response to this, saying, quote, this is messed up.
00:02:43.000And so in response to Elon Musk taking over Twitter, you now have Biden putting together this disinformation board.
00:03:04.000Now, to give you an idea of how serious they are about censoring and monitoring political speech, this is all kind of surrounding the idea of social media interactions.
00:03:15.000Instead of actually having a free and open internet where the best ideas can win, and of course there will be people that spread false things, but more speech remedies the false speech, which is the way the internet was in 16 and 17, and it was awesome.
00:03:30.000And we were able to spread good ideas and challenge bad ones and be able to interact directly with people that were part of the kind of instrumentation of the propaganda channels on the top levels of our society.
00:03:44.000No, instead, we've had just this mass crackdown of any sort of dissenting ideas.
00:03:49.000But now Biden puts forward this Ministry of Truth, which is an Orwellian term.
00:03:54.000We went into that yesterday, in a direct response to Elon buying Twitter.
00:03:59.000So, just 48 hours after Elon buys Twitter, this pops up.
00:04:02.000Do you think for a second that the Democrat Party wouldn't have let have you for your free speech back without putting up a fight?
00:04:24.000But I look at her and I look at her videos and I feel like I know her.
00:04:28.000I feel like I know her because I grew up with people like her in the same sort of age demographic that approach life in a very similar fashion.
00:04:39.000So, we're going to play some of her videos, both that are like horrifying and hilarious, not hilarious because they're meant to be, but because she's a total fool and she's a buffoon.
00:04:47.000But she kind of has a very sarcastic, ironic, and snarky approach to life.
00:04:56.000She's kind of a self-described Harry Potter nerd.
00:04:59.000And, you know, you kind of the way she communicates, I say, wow, I know exactly kind of the type of person that she is.
00:05:07.000Everything is kind of like a snough, soft joke.
00:05:10.000And there's kind of a smugness, there's an attitude.
00:05:13.000There's kind of like a, there might not be anything that's true, but I might as well make fun of it.
00:05:17.000Now, I can't remember the philosopher who said this, but we'll look it up and we'll find out, which is that irony, the fixation on irony is the only way that the unhappy are able to make sense of the world.
00:05:49.000And so the unhappy and the people that do not have their soul at peace, they fixate relentlessly on the things that don't make sense.
00:05:58.000Ironic is the only thing that can make sense to the people that do not find beauty and truth in the world or things worth fighting for.
00:06:07.000And so enter front and center this woman by the name of Nina Jankowitz, who is the smug kind of hairy, self-described Harry Potter nerd, the snarky person who finds whatever, like I wouldn't be talking about her except for the fact she has a badge now.
00:06:34.000This is Nina Jankowicz singing about censorship to the tune of super fragilized, super frag, super fragile, super catalyfragilistic espiologists.
00:07:20.000Putin's narratives intentionally rob protesters of agency.
00:07:24.000They discount the grievances that brought them to the streets, risking their lives, and ultimately they undermine the resulting governments.
00:07:32.000And now we're seeing the same narrative cropping up here in the United States.
00:07:38.000So, in short, color revolutions aren't dirty.
00:07:41.000They're expressions of democratic will, and they should inspire us all.
00:07:46.000Yeah, I mean, a CIA operation tried to displace a sovereignly elected Democrat leader.
00:08:37.000Not a champion of justice and reform in Ukraine.
00:08:41.000And number three, as a result, the vice president delivered a message that Shokin needed to be fired and other reforms pursued if Ukraine wanted its next tranche of IMF funds and a U.S. loan guarantee.
00:08:54.000This is called diplomacy, not extortion.
00:09:56.000She's doing the whole like Saturday night live routine.
00:09:59.000It's like, no, this is actually very real.
00:10:02.000She was named executive director of the Disinformation Governance Board of the federal government of the United States, the Department of Homeland Security.
00:10:08.000By the way, it's not like the Department of State or the Department of Defense.
00:10:10.000They believe the true threat is within the country.
00:10:14.000Advised the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, of course she did.
00:10:17.000As a part of the Fulbright Public Policy Fellowship, oversaw Russia and Belarus programs, National Democrat Institute, wrote the book, How to Lose the Information War, Russia Fake News in the Future of Conflict.
00:10:31.000It's because she's loyal and she's a deeply unhappy, smug, snarky person who just wants to be relevant and wants to be able to send to her fellow millennial friends who are childless and sexless and really angry that she's done something with her life, typical type demographic of an early 30-something Ivy League Georgetown graduate.
00:10:52.000Nina Jankowicz is the head of the disinformation board at the Department of Homeland Security.
00:11:21.000Any dolphin can see that humankind has gone insane to the point where I don't know if I'll upset the status quo if I'm poison in the water main.
00:11:35.000Our world's filled with filth and lies.
00:11:38.000And it's plain to see evil inside of me is on the rise.
00:11:51.000So if she doesn't like your singing, will she put you in prison?
00:12:21.000Another huge threat to our homeland is miss and disinformation.
00:12:25.000A newer trend that we saw in the 2020 election and already in the 2022 midterms is that disinformation is being heavily targeted at Spanish-speaking voters, sparking and fueling conspiracy theories.
00:12:37.000DHS and its components play a big role in addressing myths and disinformation in Spanish and other languages.
00:12:43.000Can you share what steps you've taken and what future plans you have to address Spanish language miss and disinformation through department-wide approach?
00:12:52.000Yeah, those Hispanic voters, they think there's only two genders.
00:12:55.000What are you doing to make sure that Hispanic people believe men can become pregnant?
00:12:59.000Can you please explain to us in great detail why Hispanic voters believe that men and women have biological differences?
00:13:06.000Please tell us why Hispanic voters believe that the border matters.
00:13:11.000How dare they believe it must be QAnon?
00:13:21.000She's basically saying, listen, Hispanic voters are so stupid, they don't really know what they're doing.
00:13:28.000So please tell us how you're censoring things so the dumb Hispanic people aren't able to feel because they're just so gullible.
00:13:36.000Remember, we have to talk slowly around Hispanic people because they're new here.
00:13:40.000That's basically the essence of her question.
00:13:43.000Like the misinformation, disinformation.
00:13:44.000No, this is what's really happening, Jennifer Gaskell.
00:13:48.000You're starting to see your poll numbers go down in the Hispanic community, and all of a sudden your mass migration plans is now being put in jeopardy.
00:13:56.000And Nicaraguans and El Salvadorians and Guatemalans and Mexicans are becoming radical Republicans in record numbers.
00:14:02.000And the only thing that Jennifer Gaskell and the Democrats can blame is it must be misinformation.
00:14:11.000No, actually, Hispanics, they look at like, for example, they'll see the Netflix document that says he's expecting and they'll say, that's loco.
00:14:19.000I don't believe, whoever's behind that, not a fan.
00:14:23.000But no, Jennifer Gaskell wants to have an entire regime of censorship, an entire administration around shutting people up because they're starting to lose their voters.
00:16:36.000So, we've yet to really find out what's going on here.
00:16:38.000It's very interesting to me, though, that the media has completely been uninterested to determine what exactly is going on with this Department of Homeland Security disinformation governance board.
00:16:52.000And I can assure you that if Donald J. Trump was setting up some kind of, you know, fake news applicator, we're going to censor things on the internet kind of board.
00:17:02.000I have to imagine that Maggie Haberman and the Washington Post and the rest would be all over it.
00:17:07.000But with this one, Daniel Lippmann over at Politico for the playbook, he doesn't usually write for playbook, drops it in there.
00:17:14.000It's pretty obvious that Nina actually leaked this herself, I think, because then she goes all over Twitter and is like, well, the cat's out of the bag, guys.
00:17:23.000Let me just post my official portrait and everything else that's going on with this.
00:17:27.000So, what we know, though, from this political report and really just Nina Jankovich's own tweets is that this is a board that's being set up.
00:17:37.000And then they asked Secretary Mayorkis about it.
00:17:39.000They asked Jensaki about it for some more information.
00:17:41.000We're not getting a lot of details, though, that will be used to stop Jensaki's words to stop the flow of disinformation throughout the country.
00:17:52.000And so, Charlie, what you're looking at, though, from my assessment, this is think of the fact-checking that goes out there, right?
00:18:00.000The fact-checking on Facebook, on Instagram.
00:18:02.000We know they're all fake fact checks, right?
00:18:04.000But this is what they used to stop or slow the posts.
00:18:07.000Now, what they're doing is they're creating an actual government board that is more than likely going to be sending out guidance the same way the CDC used to, right?
00:18:44.000Do you think these things are connected?
00:18:45.000Do you think that this is part of the empire striking back?
00:18:48.000Like, okay, Elon, you buy Twitter, then you're going to have to deal with Nina?
00:18:52.000No, I don't necessarily think it's connected.
00:18:54.000I think this is something if you go to her LinkedIn page and her Twitter, she's actually been talking about this for several months.
00:19:00.000And I think everyone can agree that Elon's thing really was more spur of the moment than anything else.
00:19:05.000And so this is something that the Biden administration, the regime has been working on for a long time, Charlie.
00:19:11.000This has been their agenda to essentially tell the public.
00:19:14.000Imagine going back six years, even five years, and saying that you're going to have a government agency determining what can and can't be said on the internet.
00:19:27.000And at the height of it, you couldn't say certain things about masks.
00:19:30.000You still can't say certain things about vaccines or your speech will be throttled or your entire social media account, your presence online will be destroyed.
00:20:03.000I love, you know, when you have this Deus Ex Machina kind of like swings in from the rafters to kind of save the whole thing, I don't think it really changes the overall picture in terms of this.
00:20:13.000You know, it might be a stopgap for a while to have someone who actually is a free speech absolutist in control of what is essentially now the public square.
00:20:21.000But at the same time, you're still going to have issues at Facebook.
00:20:24.000You're going to have issues at Google, Wikipedia, all these other places.
00:20:27.000That's why I would support, in general, Congress coming in and essentially declaring that these things are utilities and putting some regulations on it.
00:20:36.000But I mean, do you think that changes, though, now that Elon owns Twitter?
00:21:06.000I think that's really my only point is whatever Elon does is only going to be temporary.
00:21:10.000And at the same time, one thing that I am bullish on, and Jack Dorsey talked about this back in 2019, Elon Musk is talking about it a little bit more now is this idea of making Twitter into an open source protocol, right?
00:21:21.000So the idea being, you know, let's say you've got Verizon or you've got T-Mobile, you've got Patriot Mobile, of course, but you can still communicate with each other across these different services because they use the same protocols, the same way an Android can text message to an iPhone.
00:21:38.000You get the green and not the blue, et cetera, et cetera.
00:21:41.000But the idea is if you can tweet, let's say you can post a message to Twitter, but then I can read that on Getter.
00:22:03.000Do you think Elon has thought that through?
00:22:06.000Is there something to the argument that the government needs Elon more than Elon needs the government with his SpaceX and trying to compete in space against Russia and China?
00:22:14.000Or do you think Elon just has done this impulsively and really doesn't care about what's going to come next?
00:22:18.000I actually have some background on this that I can't get too into.
00:22:25.000But this Elon, it may seem that he's doing this at spur of the moment.
00:22:32.000This is something that he's actually been working up to for a while.
00:22:34.000He's had cryptic tweets about buying Twitter going all the way back to 2017.
00:22:38.000But in the last couple months, really looking at Twitter's valuation, especially looking at how Twitter had dropped really halved from its high of 70 to about 35 in terms of stock price, he huddled with his team, looked at this and said, you know what?
00:22:52.000I think it's time to come in here and make a play.
00:22:55.000Yeah, but do you think that he's thought through the potential like ramifications, what this means for his businesses?
00:23:30.000If that's tied up in your Tesla stock because he owns 20% of it, then that only becomes liquid when you actually sell some of the stock, which of course, then in turn, is going to obviously affect the price of the stock thereof.
00:23:44.000He's starting to make these steps incrementally.
00:23:47.000And I'm watching very closely on this.
00:23:50.000And actually, we've got for Human Events Daily today, we're doing a huge deep dive on what some of the investor community is saying about this.
00:23:56.000We're talking about how some people think that he might even take a move.
00:23:59.000And this is something that Bannon got, you know, he came out very publicly and said, Elon should just drop the bid.
00:24:40.000It's the information warfare pipeline for the entire administration, for the entire regime.
00:24:45.000So whether or not it continues to exist as it currently does as a left-wing censorship and bias distribution platform of information warfare, I call it, you know, since 2016, I call it the Tumblr occupation of Twitter for people out there who knows what who know what Tumblr is, because, you know, they used to kind of stick to their corner of the internet, but then somehow they took over Twitter, the company.
00:25:17.000And so, you know, Elon's calculation here, he loves taking risk, but he's not without cards, right?
00:25:23.000So they could subpoena him and investigate him.
00:25:27.000It seems as if he knows he has cards too, or basically he could turn in and say, okay, so how are exactly you going to get to the international space station?
00:26:10.000That may have actually been something that got his gears turning on this and saying, hey, you know, because the space industry, and we know, you know, it's a multi-billion dollar industry, but it's actually kind of small because there's only so many platforms that can actually field assets into space, right?
00:27:04.000Like, so that's where I think they're going to try to make their targeted, their, their attacks more on Elon than the companies themselves, because the way Elon has built this, and I think it's been intentional very quietly and steadily for years, kind of being the kind of, you know, very, you know, abstract Tony Stark who might, you know, smoke weed with Joe Rogan and send a tweet that he might regret about Saudi Arabia buying Tesla going private or something with these kind of one-off things is that he was definitely not a threat, right?
00:27:35.000If you go back and look at the railroads in this country, you look at the oil pipelines and the oil fields.
00:27:42.000This is the exact same thing the government did again and again to the people that initially went into those spaces and became the major competitor.
00:27:50.000There's a whole, you know, I'm not a big, you know, Atlas drug person, but there is a whole book about this.
00:27:57.000The philosophy of Ayn Rand is to be debated, and I would certainly agree with you on that.
00:28:03.000However, who is John Galt or who is Elon Musk?
00:28:07.000Actually be the more appropriate question.
00:28:10.000And so, Jack, heading into the midterms and kind of right around the corner, what tricks up the sleeve do you think the Democrats have that we should be on the lookout for?
00:28:19.000You know, it's really amazing when I look at some of this stuff, but obviously canceling student debt is going to be a huge issue for them, something they're really trying to change the narrative of kind of everything that's been going on, but they're also trying to cancel menthol cigarettes.
00:28:32.000And I don't think that's a good narrative for the Biden administration going into going into these midterms.
00:28:37.000But when you really look across the landscape, whether it be national security, which is an abysmal failure from the war in Europe to the complete collapse of Afghanistan, then you've also got an economy now where we are one quarter away.
00:28:53.000We are one quarter away from a recession.
00:28:56.000So a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative growth.
00:29:00.000We have just put up one, one which, by the way, is so amazing to me, MSNBC and even CNBC, they're all saying this, unexpected, unexpected negative growth.
00:29:09.000Look, not only that, but you've got gas prices up around this country at a sustained rate that Americans haven't seen really since I think 2008 or so, right?
00:29:19.000These are the highest gas prices in a long time.
00:29:22.000And yet you don't hear anything, anything from the administration about, okay, we're going to be pulling up on these regulations.
00:29:42.000No, You got to go through your surveys and you got to go through your approvals.
00:29:46.000And then you have to talk to an organization known as the EPA.
00:29:50.000And then, of course, you're going to get sued.
00:29:53.000You're going to get sued by every green group under the sun, right?
00:29:56.000So what the administration should be doing, by the way, and if you care about, you know, fighting Russia, weakening Russia, if you're someone that really wants to do that, which by the way, obviously we would like peace and a ceasefire to go in place and try to figure out what's going on, stop the killing, right?
00:30:12.000You'd want American energy flowing as much as possible.
00:30:17.000You'd want as much gas and oil flowing as possible.
00:30:20.000That's the way you lower the price of oil.
00:30:24.000Because remember, McCain and all these people, Kinziger used to always say this, right?
00:30:28.000Well, Russia, they're just a gas station with nukes, a gas station with nukes.
00:30:32.000Well, it turns out that gas and nukes are actually kind of important, right?
00:30:36.000You know, because we need gas and, you know, we're not exactly immune to nuclear warfare.
00:30:41.000And so the idea being is not only would it help with that effort right there from a geostrategic perspective, but it would really, really help here back at home.
00:30:50.000Because obviously, I would hope that there's somebody in the White House, maybe Brian Dees can go ask his buddies over at BlackRock where he just came from about how this works.
00:30:59.000But if you want to increase growth in the United States economically, then a huge factor impacting millions of Americans around the country is going to be the sticker tape on that price of gas.
00:31:13.000Because if gas is that much, then your base commuting goes up, then your price of goods goes up, your price of your groceries goes up, all of it goes up.
00:31:20.000Your gas price, your fuel is going to be your number one expense as a household in terms of that.
00:31:26.000And so not only, of course, sure, winter's done, but now it's starting to warm up.
00:31:35.000And so that's the situation that we're going to be going in.
00:31:39.000These energy prices go up, people are going to start rationing.
00:31:42.000And when they're doing that, the American people start to think, they go, you know what?
00:31:46.000I remember these Jimmy Carter stuff, this Jimmy Carter stuff.
00:31:48.000I remember only being able to go and get gas on certain days of the week based on your license plate, having an odd number, an even number.
00:31:55.000They don't want to be told that they have to shut down their consumption.
00:31:59.000They want to be told that they can live normal and happy lives.
00:32:02.000So keep in mind, though, the administration is in free fall.
00:32:07.000And that's why you've got Nini Yankovich up there heading the Ministry of Truth because they can't have things like Elon Musk, who just tweeted earlier today.
00:32:15.000The Democrat Party has been taken over by the extremists.
