It goes against any kind of professional standard that we've ever had.

And again, I think that we are definitely in need of a leadership change.

But until Congress, who represents us, decides to do something, I think the status quo is going to maintain.

It's an absolutely big deal.

So DHS is using this power of administrative subpoena.

But what's interesting is they're using it to a scale and a mass that's never been seen before.

And also they're using it in places where there is no suspicion of a crime.

You know, it's one thing for maybe a...

child trafficking to be happening on the internet and for them to subpoena that information of that person, the suspected of a crime, they're literally subpoenaing people for utilizing their first amendment right to freedom of speech.

There is no crime there.

This is what should be very concerning to people, is this infringement and this intimidation to try to stifle this free speech, to try to stifle the commentary that is critical, rightfully so, in my opinion, of what is going on at DHS.

Guess what?

That's not a crime.

They're not only asking for names and addresses and telephone numbers.

They're going after IP addresses.

So now every time you're searching, whatever that might be, looking up a solution for the flu that your family has or watching your favorite celebrity, they're tracking all of this now.

I mean, that is some scary stuff.

And where is Google and Meta and Reddit?

You know, right now they're hiding behind kind of that fancy corporate language.

But the scale and the mass of the number of subpoenas is the thing that's deeply, deeply scary.
