it began when journalist -- matt taibbi.efore congress, they said you are not a journalist, elon musk hand-picked taibbi on publish the twitter files and complained that twitter was blocking links, musk replied that substack tried to steal a portion of twitter data to create a twitter clone and marked as untrusted. but t th taibbi claims this is a business dispute. is elon musk attacking free speech? or just protecting his investment. joining me now to discuss senior editor at reason ro-- robby, what is happening? >> elon musk has a little bit of a point that substack it trying to launch a competitor. it is his company. he said the commitment he made toward free speech this does cut against that. even though it is his company. he can be tyrannical if he wants this is a private institution. i mostly just upset because this is like mom and dad fighting and matt taibbi has done great work with twitter files and elon musk help. to let us know that extent of the censorship that was forced on americans by nat big tech necessarily,

matt taibbi joins us now to expand on it. matt, i watched those hearings.to hear what you had to say and found out about twitter, thanks to elon musk come on and check this out and report what you want. now they are attacking you. over what mistake did you make? >> so, in one screenshot and one tweet, i looked at the acronym cis and just had a brain cramp and thought they meant cisa the homeland security agency and added an a in brackets in describing it. it actually was cis. it was center for internet security. the ironic thing is all three of those groups along with stanford's election integrity partnership they actually are partners. it was a very minor mistake. >> brian: you came out and said listen, you were on another network and said. this it's crucial to reiterate eip partnered with states entities like cisa and gec while seeking elimination of millions of tweets. that's the key, in the twitter files. twitter execs did not distinguish between organizations using phrases like according to cisa escalating to via eip. minor inaccuracy now they are sayi

matt taibbi is being threatened with prison time.democratic congresswoman is accusing him of perjury when he meant to say cis. that was the private organization. join me with her two cents, the author of the best selling book, "you can't joke about that," fox news contributor, kat timpf. congratulations on the book. matt taibbi not a con ror by any stretch. decides to answer elon musk's calls. it turns out people working behind the scenes from the government to the fbi other people and democratic lawmakers putting their hands on the scale. since that time a knock on the door from the irs. now we are hearing about possible jail time. kat: i saw this story and i couldn't believe it. he mixed you have acronyms. the cifs and the cif. e mixed those up and corrected himself. that was over yulsly an accident. there is nothing scarier than the thought of not having a free press. stuff like that threatens that. you have to be worried about people wanting to send you to jail. >> you aspired to be a journalist. but this is something that matter

agent left a note telling taibbi to call the irs.as told his 2018 and 20 the 20 the returns had been rejected but why not send that in an envelope or e-mail? taibbi gave the house weaponization of government committee documents showing his 2018 return had been electron create accepted -- closing bell terrorically accepted concern clerk terrorically accepted. congressman jim jordan has demanded a response from the irs and so far has notten go -- gotten no response. ♪ i was born on the south side of chicago. it has been a long road, but now i'm working for schwab. i love to help people understand the world through their lens and invest accordingly. you can call us christmas eve at four o'clock in the morning. we're gonna always make sure that you have all of the financial tools and support to secure your financial future. that means a lot for my community and for every community. every piece of land has a story - written by those who work it. like the caggianos, who are brewing their own legacy. or the wrens, with their drama free plot

i don't think it's an accident that the same week we learned that the irs knocked on matt taibbi's doorle he's testifying many congress, that same week is when we learn a district attorney is, a left-wing district attorney, soros process-backed district attorney is going to go after the former president of united states. that is a scary thing. they paid a foreigner, think about this, they paid a foreigner to put together a fake dossier to spy on president trump's to campaign. the ptc sends letters to -- ftc sends letters to twitter demanding who are journalists you're talking to, and the urs is knocking on matt taibbi's door and now an indictment of former president, the guy who happens to be leading in every single poll. this is about all of us. this is about going after anyone who poses the left's agenda, the establishment's agenda. and that's maybe the most scary thing of all. maria: well, you also have right now the bank records that your colleague, james comer, has released showing that money died go from if chinese officials tied to the chinese communist party to rob walker's acco

the same time taibbi was testifying before the committee. that came up yesterday. this exchange. >> is that document request going to be granted, whether it has been done or not? >> let me lift up and say it is my absolute commitment to comply with all document requests from this committee, from congressman jordan's committee, like i welcome the oversight. >> john: so says it's my intention to comply, he would not say whether or not information, any documents have been turned over. to your knowledge, have they? >> they have not. and if he welcomes oversight he would comply with the request. we asked for the documents turned over by april 10th. he missed the deadline. when matt taibbi testified in early march, the irs agents visited his home at the same time he was there. looks to be an intimidation tactic. >> john: any legitimate reason why the agent visited his home? >> since then they have apologized, oh, thought there was an identity theft concern, but never mind, don't worry about that, it's over now. because we found out and exposed it.

stacey plaskett accused taibbi of -- error he has since corrected. those are headlines.to you. >> ainsley: ash, i like that. thanks, ash. is that okay if we call you ash? >> brian: too late, we are live. >> ainsley: joe versus joe, stop the political games and meet with mccarthy. speaker of the house will be here. brian got that interview, no fair. >> brian: i heard. >> steve: national pickleball. carl, you look like you are from fort worths, are you excited to vote in 2024? >> i am. >> steve: who is your guy? >> trump. >> steve: very good. i knew carl was going to say that and somebody else has a trump hat. is everybody exciteds it is national pickleball month? take a look on the court right now, we've got the dallas cowboy cheerleaders playing pickle. ♪ at red land cotton, the bedding start right here on our family's cotton farm in north alabama. the heartland of america. we rely on hard work and honest manufacturing to deliver high quality, heirloom inspired bedding, bath towels and more, all made in the usa. experience the farm to home difference for yourself. go to

it is the irs showing up at taibbi's door as well.ning here with free speech and journalism? >> it is really shocking, will. i think it is important to remember that when we -- testify, we go there on our own time because we think it is our duty is to provide expert witness testimony. that is what that is. maybe because we raise our right hand and swear to tell the truth and people think it is a criminal proceeding. that is how the democrats on the committee treated us as though we had done something wrong by breaking one of the big stories and maybe in their minds we did do something wrong. we exposed the involvement of the cia and the fbi, the department of homeland security directly into making the censorship of content at twitter. we also saw the same thing at facebook. so maybe what is really going on here is an effort to distract attention from ways in which government agencies and government agencies are trying to censor ordinary americans for expressing constitutionally protected free speech. >> jesse: what is clear-cut, is co

it's so funn y to to i knowt th we've got to go, but to see that, too, this week you saw matt taibbi, who's on the left, and trump is on the right being targeted by the same engine. s you it is notw left versus right necessarily. i it is insidet' versus outside the establishment versus the renegade. and i kno and i know my renegades. all right. up next, he called himself man to prove women's sports are a sham. a sham. >> born in eighteen. forty seven , formerlythese enslaved, started buying land,th enslaved, started buying land,th was in the housel. o representatives finding out this family history, these things become anchors for your soul. >> you've been counting down the days training for months, preparing all year long, and now it's finally it's national grid week. and everyone knows griddle week is better on a black stone with more than eight million griddles sold to brutal nation, black stone is the way america cooks outdoors from the backyard to the patio and even on the gold benches. it's better on a black stone. all your traditional grill favorites and so much more breakfast,

this is why people like glenn greenwald and matt taibbi have worked hard to expose then m and now you see them occasionally on fox to discuss and now yorepth that matte to people. that's why tulsi gabbard left the party and why so many hispanic voters and now asian voters are moving toward the republicans. so progressives, they're being played for suckersves are being they should cut deals with the c populist republicans. i thin k we could have built on the success of the u.s. that trade deal that replaced naftahc with other trade deals, tradchip. not the trans-pacifi partnership. we could have workedwe cou to eliminate the patriot act. we could have reined in the war spending and pushed for new rules on industrial policy that would have really encouraged jobs and manufacturing in the united states . but look, the squawe couldd in e us more than they like their own working class, don't the squa they ? >>d, they hate our model leads to more t prosperity, higher wages jobs. and more jobs. their model leads to lesr mos o, everything except maybe pop , abortions and wars. >> so all you ne

they just have to crack down people like matt taibbi. they got i'm not saying they were armed, but they're knocking on his door in the afternoon sending a message. i don't know anybody that is that concerned about this. >> i really don't. should they be? no. i mean, i think i'm not a big fan of how the recruitment is being done these days with the job fairs and things like that. but as i just said , they're really struggling to recruit people and how president biden and his administration thinks that they're going to hire an additional eighty seven thousand employees, not all of them, that will not be armed. but i don't know how they're going to do it. and i don't think these ads are going to help. yeah, we'll see. i just find it hard to believe that they're just going to crack down on the rich. i find it hard to believe that they're not going to crack down on the deli owner, the the dry cleaner, the gas station owner, because they get a lot of revenue in revenue. that's how they're going to drill down and get the receipts up to fund som
