 Welcome to the Knuckleheads of Liberty. And boy, I tell you, it's tough times over there at the Ministry of Truth. They seem to have disabled themselves with their own disinformation. So maybe I could bring up a visual on this. Peter Ducey recently was questioning the press secretary that they have, Carine Jean Pierre, and he specifically asked her about it. So did you guys literally get shut down because of disinformation? And that's what your whole job is, is dealing with disinformation? And she really didn't have a good answer for that. But I tell you, it's just crazy. I mean, this is like Orwell's Ministry of Truth. And this thing isn't quite gone yet. They've said it's temporarily disabled. And so it's possible this thing may be coming back. But just to give you a little background on it, before the thing tanked, there would be Chief Inquisitor Nina Jankowitz. She was recently caught saying that, yeah, they should start having Twitter edit other people's tweets. Just have verified users out there editing other people's essentially. So just really crazy, terrifying stuff. So what do you guys think about all this crazy Ministry of Truth? And they, boy, I tell you, Biden just can't even get, he can't even do his authoritarianism, right? Where to start? Where we at, Jim? Oh, well, I don't know. I'm at a loss. Where's the legislator? How come all these new ministries and bureaucratic entities just crop up out of nowhere? How come this happens? I thought we had a government with three different branches, some kind of separation of powers or something. I thought that's the way it worked. But obviously somebody in my upbringing, in my schooling, it must have been those Irish Catholic nuns from St. John's Catholic School that informed me that we have a government with three separate branches. I did not know that the real truth of the matter is we have a monarchy now. And we just have top-down central planning from brilliant people like Joe Biden that are there to tell us what's true and what's not true. I was wrong all along. Those darn nuns. I would take a little bit of a different take. I'm going to echo Tim Sandifer, who's now at the Goldwater Institute, used to be at the Pacific Legal Foundation. And the way he explained it is this way. He said the legislature has essentially delegated all of its authority and by all, that's almost 100 percent of its authority to the administrative executive branch. And the way they have done it is legislators, they want to get reelected. They've got a pretty good gig there in Washington, D.C. They want to keep an incumbents win 95, something like that percent of the races. And the reason they are able to win is because they do a good job of keeping their constituents happy. They keep their constituents happy by doing good things. Now, legislators are not all that much more brilliant than the rest of us. And not too less brilliant than the rest of us. But they are smart enough and savvy enough to know that if they promise something that their constituents want that sounds good, their chances of being reelected are enhanced. So they come up with a good thing. And they say, okay, I want this good thing to happen. Therefore, we're going to have a department of good things that will make good things happen. And the department of good things, well, we're going to have to give them the rulemaking authority, which means essentially the legislative authority to write the rules, write the laws. So it's not Congress writing the laws anymore. That's been delegated to rulemaker making on the part of bureaucrats. And the bureaucrats make up their own damn rules. And once they're written, they're pretty much in stone unless somebody challenges them in court. It's really, really difficult to overturn a regulatory decision. And in the case of the Disinformation Board, the good thing is we want to make sure that, well, first of all, you got Homeland Security. Homeland Security is the good thing there is we want to make sure that everybody is safe from terrorists. Okay. And the way that's turned out to be in practice is terrorists, like people who are complaining to school boards about the woke-ism in their public schools curriculum. You have terrorists who don't obey the party-aligned Democrat, Republican, or heterodox in their political views. You have people who are lying. And, you know, you can't have anybody being allowed to lie on social media. If somebody lies on social media like Biden does or like Trump did repeatedly, that's not okay. So we will make sure that we have, under the Department of Homeland Security, we're going to have a different information board or governing unit or whatever. Ministry of Truth, as George Orwell would have called it, says, okay, the Ministry of Truth, the Disinformation Governance Board, will oversee everything that's said on Twitter, on Facebook, on YouTube, you name it. And if we find something that we don't think is truthful, we will make sure that it either gets changed or gets censored or goes away one way or another. We will be the arbiter of truth. And thereby protect the general American public from being lied to. That's what's going on. And of course, what the question that begs is, who the hell are these people to say we have an ultimate monopoly on truth? They're obviously liars from the get-go, and they're lying about their ability to catch others lying. It's a very scary development and it's on hold, but I don't believe for a minute that it's gone away. Well, Richard, after all that, after all that eloquence, all I heard is, you're against good things. All the good things that government wants to bring you, the endless good things and endless agency. I'm against good things at other people's expense. There's nothing going with good things that people want to make good things happen themselves, or if they want to pay others to make good things happen. What's wrong is government saying, Peter, we want good things to happen for Paul. Therefore, Peter, you are going to pay to make good things happen for Paul. If you don't like it, that's tough. I will say one thing, just to push back a little bit about regulatory agencies versus lawmakers, as far as which is worse. The lawmakers, when they make these laws, that's essentially what gives the regulatory agencies the authority to make any of these regulations. But the regulatory agencies, they have to go through something called the Administrative Procedures Act, and that means literally you have to go through months and months and months of outreach to the public to let them know what it is you're going to do. But the lawmakers, they don't have to do any of that. I mean, they can literally show up with some bill and say to a lawmaker, you got a day to read a thousand pages. The public has no chance to look at it. And as Nancy Pelosi told us once, we'll find out what's in it once we pass. So, you know, it is, you know, it's almost like, man, I wish the lawmakers had a little more control over them than, you know, obviously I'm not saying that we need more rules by at all. But I mean, it's just like, wow, I mean, the lawmakers just don't seem to have any, you know, kind of constraints about what the public is supposed to be able to see. Well, what you say is true. But by the same token, there are bills out there. We just got it over there, which are the Read the Bills Act, which would require that the congressman, old state legislatures, if it's at the state level, actually read the bill before they vote on it. So, these 10,000 page omnibus bills that you have 24 hours to review, obviously that couldn't happen with the Read the Bills Act. You've got the One Subject in a Time Act, which would prevent the omnibus bills from taking place in the first place. You vote on one thing, not 10,000 different things all put together in one big, you know, pass it or lose your pet program bill. So, you know, there are ways of getting around that at the legislative level. But all of those would shackle government. It would make it much more difficult for government to do things. And if you can't do things, you can't do something about it, make a law. There ought to be a law. If you can't do it, then your chances of being re-elected are rolling. So, pass it. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness always and forever.
