Lapses that netflix didn t mention in their brief statement about the festival that was supposed to be all about laughter. bill: his security got there quickly, all things considered. two seconds is too long but they got there in about two seconds. it could have been so much worse. bill: good to see you. dana: homeland security secretary mayorkas coming under fire over the role of his department s newly formed disinformation governance board. watch here. senator, this board, this working group provides a very important function. no, it doesn t. we have been we have been executing our mission to address disinformation that threatens the security of the homeland for years. what does this board add? dissolve it? dana: katie pavlich. senator hawley for me.
If you admit you got it wrong, take it off the table for now. study it and report back. instead mayorkas continues to try to defend it and it s not going that well. he was repeatedly asked during his testimony this week on capitol hill to define what the mission of this board is. he had a real hard time deciding what they were going to do, what their purpose was, and because he can t give that definition, the board is then primed for abuse. it used to be the term disinformation was used in the national security world to describe information that was injected into the united states by foreign actors trying to sew discord or push their own propaganda. clearly given the statements that we have from the woman nina jankowicz who has been put in charge of the board and statements she s made about republicans and free speech
Absolutionists and calling people disinformers. a term for them. clearly she is not focused on foreign actors or cartels like mayorkas was trying to explain yesterday by justifying the creation of this board. dana: this all comes as elon musk. they announced this board the same week elon musk bout twitter. we asked people. 45% of democrats said it is a bad thing. republicans 64% say it s a good thing. what do you read into that, if anything? well, i think, dana, twitter itself is used by political analysts and certainly used by people in washington, d.c. and reporters to promote their work and to talk to each other. if you look at the statistics on twitter and elon musk has brought this up, only 8% of americans are considered active on twitter.
