Today, I'm joined by journalist Taylor Lorenz Taylor.

There is some really disturbing story reporting coming out of the paper formerly known as The Washington Post.

Kylie, pop this up.

Exclusive pro-Trump activists are circulating a draft executive order alleging Chinese interference.

in the 2020 election proposing a national emergency to surprise, surprise, expand presidential power over voting, like banning mail ballots and voting machines.

And then there's another headline here that JB Pritzker popped up.

Trump seeking executive power over elections is urged to declare emergency.

Activists say they are in coordination with the White House, are circulating a draft executive order that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.

It's been a while since I have had my civics class, Taylor, but it's my understanding that the Constitution exclusively says that voting is up to the states.

i also think you have the uh nicholas maduro who donald trump uh the government got and now they want him to say that 2020 was meddled with and i guarantee you the fix is in he's going to give nicholas maduro a pardon and so like you said they telegraph exactly what they're going to do especially loose lips dementia ridden kinks he's always

giving, showing his hands, right?

So the people that fund him, when we look at these oligarchs, Jeff Bezos is $45 million richer.

Then you get to Elon Musk, billions of billions of billions of dollars richer.

And then you get to Palantir.

You have that coke head, Alex Karp, who's just a complete psychopath.

And then Peter Thiel.

And these people in this company are really diabolical.

And this is where your reporting really takes over.

So please enlighten my viewers and listeners as to how dangerous companies like Palantir are and their surveillance plans for private citizens.

in all of these different surveillance efforts across the country and he wants to build this massive ai powered digital dragnet that can be used and abused by the government okay so age verification what i'm getting from here you from have kids and so as a parent you think age verification that sounds important that sounds good but are you suggesting that these companies are using our good will that we want children to be safe online and actually weaponizing children to erode
