1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: New Twitter files have been dropped. And what we're learning 2 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:09,959 Speaker 1: is this, If you and the media report something that 3 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: the Washington Post likes, they call you a journalist. But 4 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: if you report something like the Twitter files that they 5 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 1: don't like, the Washington Post will then label you as 6 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:26,119 Speaker 1: a conservative journalist. I'll give you an example. The same 7 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: journalists who are helping expose the Twitter files are now 8 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: being attacked by their own colleagues, claiming they're right wing extremists. 9 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: They're conservative journalists, which is just not true. There's a 10 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 1: headline Washington Post back in twenty seventeen, a article by 11 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: Paul Butler. Here's what it's said. The police department is 12 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: like a crew. It does whatever they want to do. 13 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: Those words from an old school hip hop song by 14 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: the group Boogie Down Productions, or the soundtrack in my 15 00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: head as I read I can't breathe. Journalists at Tabe's 16 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: gut wrenching account of the death and life of Eric Garner, 17 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: that's how they described journalists. Matt Tabe. He was a 18 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: journalist who did an amazing job with a gut wrenching 19 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: account of the death and life of Eric Garner. So 20 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: then he was a hardcore journalist. He was a renowned journalist. 21 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: He was above above reproach journalists right. What happens when 22 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: my taby releases the Twitter files. Here's the headline from 23 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: the same Washington Post quote. As head of Trust and 24 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: Safety at Twitter, Roth was involved in many of the 25 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: platform's decisions about what posts to remove and what accounts 26 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: to suspend. His communications with other Twitter officials have been 27 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: posted in recent day days as part of what must 28 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: calls a Twitter files, a series of tweets you ready 29 00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: by conservative journalists Matt Tabe and Barry Weiss. So, if 30 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: you report something the Washington Post likes, you're a journalist. 31 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: If you report something Washington Post doesn't like, you're a 32 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: conservative journalist. That's now what they're doing now. The reason 33 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: why I bring this up is because they're now getting 34 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: very scared over what's actually being exposed here. The newest 35 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: Twitter files that dropped are unbelievable. We now know that 36 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: the FBI just a month ago was actually asking Twitter 37 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: for the location information on a bunch of Twitter users. 38 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: Is the FBI asking for this, including the conservative news 39 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: site RSB network. The FBI asked Twitter to voluntarily provide 40 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 1: info and helpful suggests helpfully suggests these users violated terms 41 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: of service so you could get rid of them, a 42 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: big long list, right, this coming in from the FBI. Hey, 43 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: these are the guys. We need to know where they are. 44 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: Can you tell us their locations? Oh and also, by 45 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: the way, can you please shut them down? This was 46 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:09,679 Speaker 1: just a month ago because of terms of service violations. 47 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: This internal email we now have access to from November fifth, 48 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: twenty two, the FBI's National Election Command Post, which compiles 49 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: and sends on complaints, sent the San Francisco Field office 50 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 1: a long list of accounts that quote may warrant additional action. 51 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: And then they wanted to know like, hey, who's doing this? 52 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: Like where are they? Can you just give us locations? 53 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: And they gave this to Twitter. This is just a 54 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: month ago. We also now know that from the newest 55 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: Twitter files that have been released. Something else, a very 56 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: shocking revelation that the United States government, Okay, the United 57 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: States government has now decided that they want to do 58 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: propaganda influencing on our government and regimes around the world. 59 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: There was an influence campaign, an influence campaign to get 60 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: you to like or dislike, or support or not support 61 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: certain conflicts around the world. I'll give you a real 62 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: day example. Apparently, the Pentagon has been working relentlessly to 63 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: put up propaganda accounts, propaganda accounts of deep fake individuals, 64 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: meaning not real people that they are running. This new 65 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: report identified accounts that Twitter knew were fake. Twitter knew 66 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: they were being run by Sentcom and the Pentagon, and 67 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: the Pentagon and Sentcom actually asked Twitter to quote white 68 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: List accounts in an email to Twitter in twenty seventeen. 69 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: Twitter then said, sure they knew. Twitter knew the accounts 70 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: were fake, they knew they were government propaganda accounts, and 71 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: they did it anyway. We also know that those accounts 72 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: were helping you get excited about certain things. Causes and 73 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: wars Zelenski getting all this money right now, there's a 74 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: very good chance, I'd say there's one hundred percent chance, 75 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: based on now what we know, that the government is 76 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: using deep fake accounts to support the government's propaganda to 77 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: get you to support us sending billions and billions and 78 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: billions of dollars to one of the most corrupt governments 79 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 1: in the world in Ukraine. In fact, Twitter's communication team 80 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: was closely in touch with reporters working to minimize Twitter's role. 81 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: When the Washington Post reported on the scandal, Twitter officials 82 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: actually congratulate each other's and in eternal emails and messages 83 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: because the story quote didn't mention any Twitter employees and 84 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: focus largely on the Pentagon running a deep state operation. Now, 85 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: before I get into more of that, I want to 86 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: tell you about our friends over at Patriot Mobile real quick. 87 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: You may see a lot of bait and switch offers 88 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: for free phones, free iPhones.

Now, after 111 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: all this information came out, Leefang, who is the one 112 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: that released these Twitter files, wrote an article for The Intercept, 113 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: and this is what the headline read. Twitter aided the 114 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: Pentagon in its covert online propaganda campaign that you were 115 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: paying for. Internal documents show Twitter whitelisted Pentagon account sent 116 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: accounts that were then used to run its online influence 117 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: pedaling campaign in the US and abroad. Twitter executives lied 118 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: to Congress, by the way. They claimed for years that 119 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: the company makes a concerted effort to detect and thwart 120 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: quote government back covert propaganda campaigns on its platform. That 121 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: was a lie. They lied to Congress Behind the scenes, however, 122 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: the social networking giant provided direct approval an internal protection 123 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: for the US military's network. I mean, this is like 124 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: a web of fake accounts all over the world being 125 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: run by the Pentagon. They had a network of social 126 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 1: media accounts and online deep fake individuals personas, and they 127 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: even the government. The Pentagon was directly asking Twitter to 128 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: whitelist a batch of account to the request of the government, 129 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: meaning we're telling you they're fake, but we need you 130 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: to let us have these propaganda accounts so that we 131 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,719 Speaker 1: can push out propaganda that will influence the minds of 132 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: not just American citizens, but others around the world. Twitter, 133 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: by the way, wasn't the only one doing this. We 134 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 1: now know from the investigative report that has come out 135 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: on this that Facebook was also doing it. We would 136 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: assume Google was also doing it in YouTube. The Pentagon 137 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: has used this network for years, which includes US government 138 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: generated news portals and memes in an effort to shape 139 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: the opinion in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Kuwait, and beyond. The 140 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 1: accounts and question started out openly affiliated with US governments, 141 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: but then the Pentagon appeared to shift tactics that began 142 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: concealing its affiliation with some of these accounts, a move 143 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: towards a type of intentional platform manipulation. The Twitter had 144 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: publicly opposed and testified to Congress that they were shut 145 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: down all over the world. Though Twitter executives maintain awareness 146 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: of the accounts, they did not shut them down. In fact, 147 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: they let them remain active for years while they were 148 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: important to the quote cause. In fact, some of these accounts, 149 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: these fake accounts, remain active right now as we speak, 150 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: and the revelations are buried in the archives of Twitter 151 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: emails and internal tools, to which the Intercept was gret 152 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: An access for a brief period last week, alongside a 153 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: handful of other writers and reporters. Following Elon Must's purchase 154 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: of Twitter, the billionaire started giving access to company documents, 155 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: saying in a Twitter space that the general idea is 156 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: to surface anything bad Twitter had done in the past. 157 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: The files, which included records generated under must ownership, provided unprecedented, 158 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: if in complete, insight into decision making within a major 159 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: social media company. Twitter did not provide unfitter access to 160 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: company information. Rather, for three days last week, they allowed 161 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: the reporter to make requests without restrictions that were then 162 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: fulfilled on my behalf by an attorney, meaning that the 163 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: search results may not have been exhaustive. I did not 164 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 1: agree to any conditions governing the use of the documents, 165 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: and I made efforts to authenticate and contextualize the documents 166 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: through further reporting. The redactions and the embedded documents in 167 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: the story were done by the intercept to protect privacy, 168 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: not Twitter. And what we know is that Twitter the 169 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: direct assistants Twitter provided to the Pentagon goes back at 170 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: least five years. In July of twenty seventeen, there was 171 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 1: a guy by the name of Nathaniel Caller at the 172 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: time an official working with a US Central Command also 173 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: known as SITCOM, a division of the Defense Department, and 174 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: Nathaniel emailed a Twitter representative with the company's public policy 175 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: team with a request to approve the verification of one 176 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 1: account and white lists a list of AIRB language accounts 177 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: we used to amplify quote certain messages. So this is 178 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 1: propaganda and Twitter said yes. The worst part of all 179 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: this is not just the Pidagon was doing this, it's 180 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: the fact that you were paying for this to happen. 181 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: We now know that the FBI was actually paying Twitter 182 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 1: three point four million dollars to actually help sensor Americans 183 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: when they didn't like what you were saying. That was 184 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: happening as well. Miranda Divine went on Fox to talk 185 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 1: about this part seven of Twitter Files that reveals the 186 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: FBI's influence over what was happening and what you were saying. 187 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: Today's New York postcover calling the tech giant a quote 188 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: bird in the hand. Miranda Divine is a columnist for 189 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: the Postboxes contributed Miranda, good morning to you and thank 190 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: you for your time. I just wonder mind, folks, the 191 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: FBI have a laptop for about a year, they knew 192 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: that it was real. And you say the FBI was 193 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: grooming Twitter employees to recognize your laptop story. How so 194 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: that's right, Bill and Dana. It was pretty clear that 195 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: there was really a psychological operation being conducted against Twitter 196 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: executives by the FBI, so that when our story came 197 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,839 Speaker 1: up in October of twenty twenty, that they would recognize 198 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 1: it immediately as a Russian hack and leak operation because 199 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: they'd been warned for weeks by FBI exactly what to 200 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: look for, in fact, to look for this operation in October, 201 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: and that it would involve Hunter Biden. And remember that 202 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 1: the FBI was paying Twitter three point four million dollars 203 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: they gave them to help censor Americans, and particularly our 204 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: story three weeks before the election currents and Tlou twittered this, 205 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: he said, I read this breathless Twitter file supplemental from 206 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: aut tub so you don't have to and here's the sum. 207 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 1: I mean usen to this. The FBI was paying Twitter 208 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: three point four million to help censor Americans. So they're 209 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: pushing out propaganda, they're censoring Americans, and they're doing all 210 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: of this with your tax dollars. Now you put that 211 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: in comparison to what we were being told in public. 212 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: And Twitter said to Congress under oath, oh, we would 213 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: never allow governments to have accounts that we knew about, 214 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: and we're going to police it. That was putting out propaganda. 215 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: So what do the emails say to Twitter asking to 216 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: whitelist some of these fake accounts from the Pentagon And 217 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: you're paying for people to run these fake accounts. Quote, 218 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: we've got some accounts that are not indexing on hashtags. 219 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: Perhaps they were flagged as bots, wrote sent com. A 220 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: few of these had built a real following, and we 221 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: hope to salvage. Clara added that he was happy to 222 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: provide more paperwork from his office or SOCOM, the acronym 223 00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: for the US Special Operations Command. This is an email 224 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: going to Twitter top level Twitter. At the time, it 225 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: built an expanded abuse detection system aimed in part towards 226 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: flagging malicious activity related to the Islamic State and other 227 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: terrorist organizations operating in the Middle East. As an indirect 228 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: consequence of these efforts, one former Twitter employee explained to 229 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: the Intercept accounts controlled by the military that were frequently 230 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: engaged with extremist groups for being automatically flagged the spam. 231 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: The former employee, who was involved with a white listing 232 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: of SCOM accounts, spoke with the Intercept and said, yeah, 233 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: this was happening. In an email, cars sent a spreadsheet 234 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: in fact, with fifty two fake accounts US government was using. 235 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: He asked for a priority service for six of those accounts, 236 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: including an account used to broadcast announcements about US drone 237 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: strikes and Yemen around the same time. They said it 238 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: was important that these accounts stay up. Now guess what's happened. 239 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: They've been deleted. They emphasize that the US strung strike 240 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: one of these channels, for example, or one of these 241 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: accounts were accurate and killed terrorists, not civilians, and promoted 242 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: the US and Saudi backed assault on the rebels in 243 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: the country. Other accounts on the list were focused on 244 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: promoting US supported militias in Syria and anti Iran messages 245 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: in Iraq. One account discussed legal issues in Kuwait. The 246 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: many accountsmen focused on one topic area, others moved from 247 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: topic to topic of propaganda. For instance, another account, one 248 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: of the sitcom's top accounts, shifted from messaging around drone 249 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: strikes in Yemen in seventeen to the Syrian government's focused 250 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: communications this year. On the same day that sitcom sent 251 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: its requests, members of Twitter site Integrity team went into 252 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: an internal company system used for managing the reach of 253 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: various users and applied to special exemption tag to the accounts. 254 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: The internal logs now show. One engineer, who asked not 255 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: to be named because he was not authorized to speak 256 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: to the media, said that he had never seen this 257 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: type of tag before, but upon close inspection, said that 258 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: the effect of the whitelist tag essentially gave the accounts 259 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: the privileges of Twitter verification without a visible blue check mark, 260 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,199 Speaker 1: a blue check mark excuse me. Twitter verification would have 261 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:32,199 Speaker 1: bestowed a number of advantages such as involuntarily to excuse me, 262 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: an invulnerability to algorithm bots that flag accounts or spam 263 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: or abuse, as well as other strikes that lead to 264 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: decrease visibility, visibility or suspension. Now, these Twitter accounts, all 265 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: of them that were whitelisted by Twitter, were done so 266 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 1: at the behests of the US government for propaganda reasons. 267 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: There were also Arabic language accounts twitting on relevant security issues. 268 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: They said, yeah, well whitelist those as well, and they 269 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: wanted to know the where some accounts that they didn't 270 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:12,199 Speaker 1: own were actually tweeting from the Internet archives. I've also 271 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: found that there was a lot of history on these accounts. 272 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: Several accounts initially listed themselves as US government accounts and 273 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: their bios, but after being whitelisted, shed any disclosure that 274 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: they were affiliated with the military, imposed as ordinary users. 275 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: This appears aligned with a major report published in August 276 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: by online security researchers affiliated with the Stanford Internet Observatory. 277 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 1: They reported on thousands of accounts that they suspected to 278 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: be part of a state backed information operation, many of 279 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: which used human faces deep fakes generated by artificial intelligence, 280 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 1: a practice also known as well again deep fakes. That's 281 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: what your tax dollars were going towards. The researchers connected 282 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: these accounts with a vast online ecosystem that included fake 283 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: news websites, meme accounts on Telegram and Facebook, and online 284 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: personalities that echoed at Pentagon messages, often without disclosure of 285 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: affiliation with the US military. Some of the accounts accused 286 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: i Ran of threatening Iraq's water security and flooding the 287 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: country with crystal math, while others promoted allegations that Iran 288 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: was harvesting the organs of Afghan refugees. Stanford report did 289 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: not definitively tie the sham accounts to Sentcome or provide 290 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: a complete list of Twitter accounts. The emails obtained by 291 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,360 Speaker 1: the Intercept show that the creation of at least one 292 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: of these accounts was directly affiliated with the Pentagon quote. 293 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 1: It's deeply concerning if the Pentagon is working to shape 294 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 1: public opinion about our military's role abroad, even worse in 295 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: private companies, even worse if private companies are helping to 296 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 1: conceal it. That's exactly backly what Twitter was doing, and 297 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: this is where your tax dollars were going. How much 298 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: is the media talking about this? Zero minutes on ABC News, 299 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: zero minutes on CBS News, zero minutes on NBC, ABC 300 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 1: and CBS combined. They're not talking about any of this. 301 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: You would think that the White House Press Corps would 302 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: be going nuts wanting to ask questions. They're not why 303 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: because they just don't care. Now, before I get into 304 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 1: more of this story, I want to say thank you 305 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,479 Speaker 1: and tell you about our good friends at Legacy Precious Medals. 306 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 1: Without them, the show wouldn't be possible.

Now, if the White House 323 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 1: Press Corps isn't going to do their job asking questions 324 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 1: about how corrupt our government is, and the other question 325 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: I have to ask is when a Republicans going to 326 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 1: stand up how Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy actually stated finally 327 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: on TV that the FBI should be shouldn't be blindly 328 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 1: funded given the behavior revealed in the Twitter files, and 329 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 1: the agency's budget shouldn't increase until after the agency is reformed. 330 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 1: McCarthy said, think about everything we're learning now that the 331 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: FBI spent at Twitter, at Facebook, at Google. Why would 332 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: we increase any funding there until we can have our 333 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,919 Speaker 1: church style hearings to look at the FBI to reform 334 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: the FBI. We're getting more information every day. Why would 335 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 1: we blindly fund them when we're looking to when we're 336 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: looking overall through the year, why would we have Why 337 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: wouldn't we have a check and balance here? Why couldn't 338 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: we bring them in. Why couldn't we look at the 339 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: intel the committee that signed that letter and have some 340 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: subpoenas going forward where we have more information for the 341 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: American taxpayer to know that their money isn't being spent 342 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: on things like Twitter. Right, accountability is good, it should 343 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: be good. I think we can all agree it's important 344 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: that we have accountability. So let's go back to the 345 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,360 Speaker 1: mainstream media. They're covering this, not ABCNBCCBS, none of them. 346 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: Is it big story that they were using deep fake 347 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: photos to obscure and to manipulate your mind on different things. 348 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: I got to go back to Ukraine on this one. 349 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: It is clear that the government is trying to influence 350 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: you on Ukraine, trying to tell you that we need 351 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: to be sending the money to Ukraine, not asking any 352 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 1: real questions about what's actually going on in Ukraine. GOP 353 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: Representative James Comer he says he wants to cut off 354 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 1: FBI funding over the Twitter files, knowing just how shady 355 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: our government is. The FBI was never granted the authority 356 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: to create any type of disinformation task force that police 357 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: the social media sites. Now, this we know with Twitter, 358 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: We've heard similar stories from Zuckerberg. Who knows what went 359 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: on at YouTube and Google. This isn't an agency that's 360 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,439 Speaker 1: out of control. And the most frustrating thing for me 361 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: right now, Maria is the fact that in this Omnimus 362 00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 1: bill there's increased funding for the FBI, plus a one 363 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: point seven five billion dollars headquarters facility for the FBI. 364 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: Why wouldn't we cut everything off? I agree with him. 365 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: If this is how you're spending the dollars, if this 366 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 1: is how the tax money is being spent, you should 367 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: halt everything. Kamala Harris did come out saying something that's 368 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: very weird. Vice President on elon Mosk and Twitter. This 369 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: is what she said yesterday. So what I would say 370 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 1: about any social media site is this would I fully 371 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: expect and would require that leaders in that sector cooperate 372 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: and work with us who are concerned about national security, 373 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: concerned about upholding and protecting our democracy, to do everything 374 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: in their power to ensure that there is not a 375 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: manipulation that is allowed or overlooked, that is done with 376 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 1: the intention of upending the security of our democracy and 377 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: our nation. Those are the things that concerned me most 378 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 1: of all. Those are the things that concerned me most 379 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: of all. That's your official response from Kamala Harris. Now right, 380 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: big tech leaders should help us secure democracy in our nation. 381 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 1: She's saying, I got your back. You guys keep censoring 382 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: and silencing conservatives, You keep shutting down conservatives, you keep 383 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: doing all of this. But these Twitter Files Part eight 384 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 1: shows that there was a psychological operation coordinated between Twitter 385 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 1: and the Pentagon and Sincom, and you paid for this 386 00:25:53,280 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 1: documents detailed military influence operations. Ret Baar on Fox set 387 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 1: it this way. We're getting a new batch of internal 388 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: documents from Twitter tonight.

Of course, 392 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,120 Speaker 1: Wanta Griff Jenkins tells us what is in today's edition, 393 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: Getting the Griff Good Evening. Brett Tonight's drop is an 394 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: inside look at the relationship between Twitter and the Pentagon. 395 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: Investigative journalist Lee Fang suggests the social media platform quote 396 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: quietly aided the Pentagon's covert online psyop campaign in a 397 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: series of twenty one posts, Fang details how deep the 398 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 1: coordination went between the two entities. Fang highlighting Twitter's pledge 399 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 1: and congressional testimony promising to shut down all state backed 400 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: covert operations, then reveals but behind the scenes, Twitter gave 401 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 1: approval and special protection to the US military's online psychological 402 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:01,159 Speaker 1: influence opts. Despite knowledge that Pentagon propaganda accounts used to 403 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 1: covert identities, Twitter did not suspend any for around two 404 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: years or more, some remain active. The documentation dates back 405 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: to twenty seventeen bread when Scom sent Twitter list of 406 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 1: fifty two Arab language accounts used to amplify messages about 407 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: US military priorities in the Middle East. Noting the same 408 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 1: day Sycom sent the letter, Twitter officials used a tool 409 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: to grant a special white list tag that essentially provides 410 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,919 Speaker 1: verification status to the accounts without the blue check, meaning 411 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,919 Speaker 1: their exempt from spam abuse flags, more visible, likely to 412 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: trend on hashtags than also says some Twitter officials felt deceived, 413 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: but added this part, saying still many emails from throughout 414 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 1: twenty twenty show that high level Twitter executives were well 415 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: aware of DoD's vast network of fake accounts and covert 416 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 1: propaganda and did not suspend the accounts. It was a 417 00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:00,400 Speaker 1: network that pushed narratives against Iran, Russia, China, and other 418 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:05,360 Speaker 1: foreign countries, ultimately tweeting as recently as May of this year. 419 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 1: According to Lee Fang and Tonight Brett, we reached out 420 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: to the Pentagon for comment they referred as strictly to Sitcom. 421 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: We have not yet heard back, Brett. So if you 422 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: just take a big step back and you look at this, 423 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: not only was our government working with all of these 424 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: social media companies to shut down in silence any account 425 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: they didn't like, big or small. They were shadow banning 426 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 1: people they didn't like, but they were also then using 427 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: your tax dollars to push out propaganda from deep fake 428 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: accounts of human beings that didn't exist under the disguise 429 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: other them being like authentic people. That's what they did 430 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: the entire time, and everybody knows it. It's out there now. 431 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: ABCNBC and CBS refusing to talk about any of this, 432 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: ABC NBC and CBS refusing to tell you what was 433 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: going on. ABC, NBC and CBS. No, we're not going 434 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: to mention it, because why would we do such a thing. 435 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: Be too damaging, and they are doing this on a 436 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: who knows what other issues. I'm sure that the Pentagon 437 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: is doing this right now in Ukraine. I have no 438 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: doubt they're doing this with Ukraine. They want you to 439 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: support the war in Ukraine against Russia. They want you 440 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: to hate Russia. They want you to believe that Russia 441 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: must be fought and all this money needs to go 442 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: to this war. And they're gonna spend this money, and 443 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: they're gonna buy Ammo, and they're gonna buy weapons, and 444 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: you're gonna pay for it, and a lot of it's 445 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: going to be embezzled in the corrupt country of Ukraine. 446 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: And Zelenski is one of those. And they're gonna bring 447 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: Zelenski into the White House and they're gonna push this 448 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: propaganda and they're gonna want to and they're gonna put 449 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: out the propaganda so that you will, you know, basically 450 00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: feel sorry for them in Ukraine and say, yes, we 451 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: must send more money, that you'll support the war in Ukraine. 452 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: And how much of this information is actually propaganda from 453 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: our government?
