00:02:21.380It's not what they were saying in this chat.
00:02:23.940Certainly, we might take issue with that.
00:02:25.660The issue is that the State Department at all would be involved in a group chat
00:02:30.540discussing domestic news outlets because they have a strict mandate to be involved in international affairs.
00:02:36.760There's, of course, news breaking today that Australia is reconsidering instituting what is about a 5% fine
00:02:44.660on the revenue of social media platforms if they don't, you know, censor their content in accordance with the,
00:02:49.940I guess, similarly, if not even further to the left, radicals in the Australian government.
00:02:54.100But I want to draw the through line here because in that story, the buried lead being that the issues that they're most concerned about
00:03:01.640were election integrity and public health, i.e., you know, COVID and vaccines.
00:03:05.820So what are the sort of topics that you think that they're really honing in on and focusing on going after just from your reporting?
00:03:12.560Yeah, so what we have seen specifically with the Global Disinformation Index, the British group at the center of this investigation,
00:03:22.460are things like election integrity, COVID-19 or, well, that was a major topic, but vaccines in general,
00:03:30.080or even just things such as the transgender agenda.
00:03:34.460We actually saw that the Global Disinformation Index, the State Department-funded entity,
00:03:39.560flagged several just opinion articles that they disagreed with.
00:03:44.120They even flagged something as disinformation.
00:03:46.620That was a social science research study saying that, on average, Republicans were more happy and satisfied with their lives than Democrats.
00:03:56.140Apparently, that's disinformation, even though it's a social science statistic.
00:03:59.920But I guess the point, rather, is that they're flagging news outlets that aren't—they're flagging even just opinions they disagree with.
00:04:08.120And that really is also the heart of the issue.
00:04:11.560Well, and I want to sort of broaden the critique out.
00:04:13.900We always say on this show, you know, the censorship industrial complex, it is the Praetorian Guard, right, for the Biden regime.
00:04:19.840The best example being the Russian disinformation letter about Hunter Biden's hard drive.
00:04:23.540But we see the FBI sort of up to their same old tricks.
00:04:26.300You had another great story linking Tim Waltz to, believe it or not, the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
00:04:31.560I guess we said COVID, so we'll go there.
00:04:33.720I'd love if you could walk the audience through that story.
00:04:36.260But the more important part being that the FBI has refused to cooperate with congressional investigators, i.e.
00:04:43.380Jim Comer, in terms of trying to get documents on this story and other concerning ties between the CCP and Tim Waltz.
00:04:53.220So last week we reported at the Examiner that as the governor of Minnesota and through his time in Congress, Tim Waltz has frequently promoted and attended meetings and actually secured funding for an entity in Minnesota called the Hormel Institute.
00:05:12.220And what we found is that the Hormel Institute has direct ties to China's government.
00:05:17.320It actually partners frequently on academic journal studies with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, of course, a Chinese government-run institute at the center of the COVID-19 lab leak theory, something the FBI determined last year was the most probable cause of the origin of COVID-19.
00:05:35.820Not only that, but actually Fox News had reported prior to Revelation, the Examiner, that the Hormel Institute, the entity that Tim Waltz promoted, also has collaborated with Beijing Genomics Institute, which is a Chinese military-backed company, something that the Pentagon actually early this year made that designation.
00:05:55.100And so, by the way, adding to further, the executive director who recently resigned from the Hormel Institute, the entity, again, that Tim Waltz awarded money to, he resigned in 2019 from that group because the FBI began investigating him and his failure to report foreign backing on academic grants.
00:06:18.460All that is to say, the group that Tim Waltz awarded money to has ties to China's government.
00:06:24.100As a result of that, today, we had reported that James Comer, the House Oversight Committee chairman, is attempting to get documents from the FBI on the entities that are linked here.
00:06:40.020But, again, Comer actually isn't solely looking just at the Hormel Institute.
00:06:45.200He's also looking at the fact that there's reporting that Tim Waltz has taken 30 trips to China over the years, including for his honeymoon.
00:06:53.640He's often praised, been sympathetic to China.
00:06:57.540And he also took a paid teaching fellowship in the past in China and also took students on a partially Chinese government state-funded trip.
00:07:08.400And so Comer listed a deadline of September 19th.
00:07:12.840It's very rare that the FBI or any agencies comply with these lawmakers, but it'll be interesting to see if it heads to subpoena territory for sure.
00:07:22.960And, Gabe, just give me a minute or two.
00:07:24.960Obviously, we see, you know, foreign election interference is now not just a national emergency, but seems to be the only talking point that the Biden regime, especially the DOJ, has.
00:07:34.920But when you see this, you know, agitation, right, in the vein of foreign election interference, Russia, Russia, Russia, and we just laid out, whether it's, you know, the Brits and the Global Disinformation Index, China and their, you know, vast United Front Work Department, what they've got going on here.
00:07:49.200As an investigative reporter, I mean, what would you say to the Biden DOJ if they want to get serious about foreign election interference?
00:07:55.160Well, look, I mean, I think our reporting and other outlets have clearly walked through examples of Tim Walz's ties to China.
00:08:04.160I would even note that we reported earlier, when Tim Walz was just announced as the VP nominee, that he has a longstanding relationship with a Muslim cleric who has a history of promoting anti-Semitic content on social media, shared a pro-Hamas, a literal, actually, Hamas official press release on his Facebook once, shared a pro-Hitler movie on his Facebook as well.
00:08:29.340So there's foreign influence ties for a lot of lawmakers, certainly Tim Walz we've found.
00:08:34.600You know, I can't suggest policies, make policy suggestions for the Biden administration, but I certainly think it's, you know, Americans have taken an interest in a lot of these foreign influence stories about Tim Walz.
00:08:45.960And James Comer is just reacting to a lot of the concerns that have been to our stories and some other outlets, such as Phil Lenczewski at The Daily Caller has a fantastic story today about Tim Walz appointed an individual on a commission who has close ties to China's government.
00:09:05.980That's the kind of stuff that presumably James Comer would be looking into and something Americans clearly were interested in today.
00:09:14.880Well, you're quite clairvoyant, Gabe, because the guest that I'm having on after you is actually Philip to talk about that story.
00:10:14.220I think there's a Microsoft outage today anyways, especially as we barrel towards the election.
00:10:18.720And apparently foreign actors, except the Chinese Communist Party, are getting ready to interfere in the United States.
00:10:25.200I guess they have rose-colored, or I should say Russia-colored glasses when it comes to looking at foreign election interference like Gabe teed up for me.
00:10:33.340We're going to be joined after the break.
00:10:35.180It's a new story, of course, on Tim Waltz's CCP ties.
00:10:38.780You guys know my background is, of course, in investigating and reporting on Chinese Communist Party infiltration.
00:10:44.140Fun fact, one of those state-sponsored trips to China, sort of similar to the one that Tim Waltz took his students on.
00:10:50.480I got access to the brochures that the students who returned home from those trips went on.
00:10:56.080And do you know what they said about China?
00:10:57.800That it was, quote, an amazing communist country that the United States should strive to be more similar to.
00:11:04.820We're also going to be joined by the chairman of U.S. College, GOP.
00:11:35.500They have nice deals for you to defend your home, your properties, whatever you may have against criminals and thieves who are coming and trying to steal it.
00:11:46.000And like I said on Twitter, I'm a little viral.
00:11:50.320I think maybe we should push the Haitian migrants in Springfield to go after the rhinos instead of the ducks and the geese.
00:12:01.740They now want to use the technology behind Bitcoin for their own Orwellian purposes, their gold to dominate our economy by forcing everyone to use central bank digital currencies, which they control.
00:12:14.720Imagine your every purchase being called into question, your every move tracked, like you live in a communist country.
00:12:21.740This is not the America we want, but it is the America they want to create.

00:13:12.760Norms are a promise that we will fiercely protect the independence of this department from political interference in our criminal investigations.
00:13:25.820Our norms are a promise that we will not allow this department to be used as a political weapon.
00:13:32.660And our norms are a promise that we will not allow this nation to become a country where law enforcement is treated as an apparatus of politics.
00:13:47.500Bravely carried on in the face of an unprecedented spike in threats,
00:14:16.000targeting a range of public officials across the country.
00:14:20.740Over the past three and a half years, there has been an escalation of attacks on the Justice Department's career lawyers, agents, and other personnel
00:14:28.980that go far beyond scrutiny, criticism, and legitimate and necessary oversight of our work.
00:14:36.900These attacks have come in the form of conspiracy theories, dangerous falsehoods, efforts to bully and intimidate career public servants
00:14:48.260by repeatedly and publicly singling them out, and threats of actual violence.
00:14:55.580Through your work, you have made clear that the Justice Department will not be intimidated by these attacks.
00:15:04.560But it is dangerous and outrageous that you have to endure them.
00:15:11.480It is dangerous to target and intimidate individual employees of this department solely for doing their jobs.
00:15:19.720And it is outrageous that you have to face these unfounded attacks because you are doing what is right and upholding the rule of law.
00:39:35.220Her administration, what she would serve towards American politics would be like another four years of kind of stagnant or very small progress, if any.
00:39:45.720I'm curious to hear from those who said you're voting for Kamala Harris.
00:39:49.400Is it a vote for Harris or more against Trump?
