that are allegedly non-government. You know, they're watchdogs and they're fact-checkers, and they're making sure there's no misinformation, disinformation. But of course they're largely fake, and they're just Democrat organs designed to promote Democrat policies and insult Republicans basically. So Mike Benz was asking Vivek what he would do about that. And I'm going to paraphrase a longer discussion, but the idea was that Vivek would create a report that would add transparency so you could see every instance in which the US government had been or is influencing private industry to do things that a government couldn't do directly. And that there would be consequences for anybody trying to do an end run to the Constitution by using these private companies to do their winged monkey business.

Now I don't know how close you could get to actually mapping that out and doing it fairly, but the fact that he's willing to take that on, that's huge. I mean, Vivek is offering you a specific plan to get free speech back. Who did that? Is there any Democrat who's offering any path to get your free speech back? No, they want to take it. They're actually literally telling you that you should have less free speech. But how about DeSantis? How about Nikki Haley? How about Trump? Have any of them given you a way that they're going to return your freedom of speech? Haven't heard it. Haven't heard it.

What's my number one most important thing? Not disinformation. It's the ability to say what you think. It's free speech. Free speech is sort of the linchpin. Is that the right analogy? The thing that's holding everything else together, at least in America, in democracy-leaning countries. If you don't have that, you don't have anything. All the rest falls apart for sure. So Vivek not only has the correct priorities, he understands the immense risk of this situation, but he also has a very specific, and to me it sounds very doable, plan for dismantling it. How do you beat that? Now I understand that anybody could lose the election, so you could beat anybody electorally. But who's even in this class? I don't think I've seen an election before where it feels like Vivek having a whole bunch of good ideas that would work, including reducing government by 75% on day one. I mean, that would be hard to do, but if you're working in that direction and working hard on it, you might get pretty close. I would say that he's almost not running against anybody, is he? Because there's nobody on the other side of this topic, and there's not even anybody on his side of the topic. And yet it's the most important topic. It's the number one, and he's alone. He's literally alone on the number one most important thing with a practical plan. How the hell do you not vote for that guy? Come on. What are you thinking?

Now I love Trump, and if he gets the nomination, I'll support him, of course, against Biden. That's a no-brainer. But Vivek is in a class by himself. If you haven't seen it yet, you need to pay more attention. Like you're seeing something that I never thought I would see. Do you remember how — well, not remember, but you're certainly aware that the founders of the country were not an ordinary group of people. Ben Franklin wasn't just a normal dude. Thomas Jefferson wasn't just another slave owner, right? George Washington didn't just get lucky, right? Hamilton was a smart guy, right? The founders were special. They were very special. And we got amazingly lucky that they all happened to be in the same place at the same time on the same side. That was real luck, right? But I always said to myself, why will there never be one of those again? Now part of it is we build up the reputations of our heroes, so some of it might be hyperbole. But why don't we ever get another Jefferson? Where's our — well, I guess we got a Ben Franklin. Elon Musk is Ben Franklin on steroids. So I guess we did get a Ben Franklin. But you know what? We also got a Thomas Jefferson. We just got to wake up. Vivek is Thomas Jefferson. He's not around. He's not looking to tweak things. That's what I think set Jefferson apart. He wasn't looking to make minor improvements. He's going to do the Louisiana Purchase and the American Revolution, and he's going to write the Preamble or whatever he wrote. Yeah, I think Vivek — and believe it or not, I don't think this is hyperbole as outrageous as this sounds. He is Thomas Jefferson for 2024. If we let him go, my God, my God, why would you let him go? Right? Well, you know, Trump is a force of nature, and that's probably going to happen. If you're going to play the odds, it's going to be Trump. But man, don't let that go.

So what else is going on? Peter Sweden reports on the X platform that the World Economic Forum again has announced that they're holding a meeting to prepare for what they call Disease X. They're holding a meeting to figure out how to deal with Disease X, which they say could be 20 times worse than COVID. Now if you read this quickly, you probably think to yourself, hey, they're worried about another virus. But have I ever taught you — and I'm sure that's what they'll talk about, is viruses. But if I ever taught you the hypnotist trick for reading minds, the hypnotist trick is that when people choose their words, that's more revealing than what those words say when they're in a sentence. So when they form the sentences, they're trying to tell you w
