On this episode of Firebrand, we have a special guest, former Congressman Devin Nunes (R-VA) joins us live from the House Office Building in Longworth, D.C. to discuss the ongoing assault weapons ban debate.
00:01:58.000Well, you understand the importance of breaking through the fake news.
00:02:02.000And I think it's just terrific that we have these avenues to be able to do it.
00:02:06.000But you've been a big part of building out that ecosystem.
00:02:09.000You've taken on as your mission in life.
00:02:10.000But before we get to truth and big tech and all the work you're doing,
00:02:15.000you were chairman of the Intelligence Committee at a critical time.
00:02:19.000And you saw information that no one else gets to see.
00:02:23.000And you were able to make assessments and share viewpoints on things
00:02:26.000that really informed how Congress viewed challenges that we face here in our country and abroad.
00:02:32.000So I wanted to ask you just with all of that experience, all that work you've done,
00:02:36.000what do you view as the greatest external threat to the United States?
00:02:41.000Well, I think it's actually the Department of Justice.
00:02:46.000And I really and I say that sadly, but it's just become it's impossible not to bring up now, Matt.
00:02:55.000I mean, you know, we had, you know, through the Russia hoax dealing with the Department of Justice,
00:02:59.000dealing with all the intelligence agencies.
00:03:01.000I think it was, you know, we were just at the tip of the iceberg and it's just gotten worse and worse and worse about how weaponized the entire Department of Justice has become along and then using the intelligence agencies to destroy the United States of America.
00:03:17.000And of course, when I say they're weaponized by the left.
00:03:20.000So, you know, your your colleagues, I guarantee you, are working hand in glove with the Department of Justice, coordinating with the executive branch.
00:03:28.000And sadly, it's leaked over to the judicial branch of government also where, you know, almost anything that has to do with the Republican.
00:03:36.000If it becomes if it comes to a Democrat appointed federal judge almost all the time, it's going to be a very political decision.
00:03:46.000And the Republicans are going to be treated much differently than the Democrats are being treated.
00:03:50.000So, look, I'll tell you, you know, China is clearly the external external threat, but we're rotting from within.
00:03:58.000And as you know, it's why I why I left Congress is because we couldn't even communicate with one another, much less, you know, fight on, you know, kind of the battle for ideas and have a fair process in whether it be the legislative branch that you and I, you know, served together in for so many years.
00:04:15.000So and look, I, you know, I ultimately I kind of came on to this early because, you know, I was vilified as some, you know, some type of, you know, Russian agent.
00:04:24.000And, you know, nobody in the government stood up, you know, and said that that was BS.
00:04:29.000It was also fake. It was fake from the beginning.
00:04:32.000And you really were the clarion voice in the wilderness.
00:04:36.000I remember the days when you first learned that our own government had been weaponized against the Trump campaign and what establishment Washington wanted you to do.
00:04:46.000Probably what a lot of Republicans wanted you to do was just sit on that information, allow our political system to be attacked using our own taxpayer dollars and depriving us of our political freedoms of speech and association.
00:04:59.000And you went and told President Trump that there was this intelligence collection going that that was targeting his campaign.
00:05:06.000You know, now that you've had the benefit of hindsight, now that we the debate is over about the Russia hoax, that was always fake from the beginning.
00:05:15.000It lacked a predicate to justify the actions that were taken.
00:05:19.000But as you look back at that moment, when you literally went over to the White House and told President Trump the truth, what how did how did you go through that decision?
00:05:28.000What were the factors you weighed knowing that that would make you a pariah with the media and with a lot of establishment Washington?
00:05:35.000Well, look, there's a lot of moving parts here.
00:05:37.000So on one hand, that only had one aspect to do what we were investigating at the time.
00:05:41.000And, you know, I knew right from the start that the Russia hoax was a hoax because, number one, I was the one who had been sounding the alarm on Russia all through 2014 and 15 and 16.
00:05:54.000So think about this in the spring of 16.
00:05:57.000I go out and say that the biggest intelligence failure since 9-11 by our intelligence agencies.
00:06:03.000I'm the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. OK, when this happens.
00:06:07.000So the biggest failure is our inability to understand Putin's plans and intentions and to just to take the viewers and listeners back to that time period.
00:06:17.000This is when Putin was just having his way with Obama and Biden and do anything he wanted.
00:06:21.000Remember, green men came down. Planes were being shot out of the out of the sky in Ukraine.
00:06:26.000They took over Crimea. You had all the situation in Libya and Syria.
00:06:31.000And finally, I just had enough. And it was very unusual for me at that time, because, as you know, that used to be that that committee worked quietly.
00:06:38.000You only heard from us when there was a terrorist attack or something.
00:06:41.000And I took this unusual step in the spring of 2016 to say, hey, guys, we got a problem here.
00:06:47.000And I always say that. Thank God that I actually had went on to out to the media.
00:06:52.000I had written about it. I had talked about it. I actually had some interviews on on CNN because think about that timing.
00:06:59.000That was right when Obama, the DOJ were all cooking up and the Clinton campaign were cooking up the Russia hoax.
00:07:06.000And they were activating all sorts of federal assets and campaign assets all working together to launch and invest a fake and phony investigation.
00:07:15.000And I think had it not been for me actually saying that at that time, not knowing any of the Russia hoax that was going on, you know, it's clear when I when I actually called BS on this, they would have targeted me.
00:07:27.000But they couldn't because I was you know, I had too much in writing. I had been too critical of the intelligence agencies.
00:07:33.000I think they really didn't want to touch it. I think when I say that, I think because I do think there were a time when when even Trump appointed officials were playing games with me during that time.
00:07:44.000And that was only a small sliver because what happened when I went to the White House, that was really about what we knew was illegal.
00:07:52.000And that was how in the hell did General Flynn's phone calls with the Russian ambassador leak out all across Washington transcripts of that?
00:08:01.000I mean, that's you know, to me, that was you know, that was a fire alarm that said, oh, my God, we've just had a major leak.
00:08:08.000And I couldn't figure out why isn't the FBI sending out thousands of agents we just had.
00:08:13.000And then it wasn't shortly after the Flynn leak. Then we had the leak of President Trump talking to the Mexican president, President Trump talking the Australian ambassador.
00:08:23.000So that was just one small issue that I was looking at at that time that but it's they're willing to leak that stuff, Devin, because they actually think that the permanent bureaucratic class, what some people call the deep state, that they ought to run the country.
00:08:38.000And that the people who are elected, they ought to just be actors playing out a script that is designed by them as the central brokers and keepers of power.
00:08:48.000You mentioned something really important. I want to pull the thread on you.
00:08:51.000You talked about the DOJ, the FBI and the Clinton campaign together cooking up the Russia hoax.
00:08:57.000Now, I've been very critical of the Durham investigation because Durham seems to cast the FBI and the DOJ as the victim.
00:09:05.000Oh, no, is he's people like Michael Sussman. It was the Clinton campaign lying to us.
00:09:10.000And we were victimized by those lies, whereas I seem to think that you had them acting in concert, playing different roles in the same conspiracy.
00:09:19.000You had the Clinton campaign working up the political opposition research, the dirt.
00:09:24.000And then you had the FBI and the DOJ processing that through authorized leaks so that you would get these blistering stories in the mainstream media that Trump was a Russian agent.
00:09:35.000I was Putin's lawyer. You were compromised. All this stuff that was nonsense, but it was it was part and parcel with an FBI DOJ strategy.
00:09:43.000Do you think that Durham has been, you know, sincere in his prosecution or is the entire Durham endeavor just something to absolve the FBI and the DOJ of their actions?
00:09:55.000Well, look, I've been very supportive of Durham. And here's why I you know, I'm really just going off of kind of instinct and my experience, you know, dealing with all these characters.
00:10:06.000And that is that this is the first investigation since since even before I came to Washington, but paying attention to politics where there hasn't been one leak.
00:10:16.000And I've always thought that that is very professional. And and if you look at the things that he's brought out and brought to light, he clearly knows what happened.
00:10:25.000I actually look, we may not know until all that till till, you know, the Durham investigation.
00:10:30.000I mean, we have a trial coming up with Danchenko, the author or the the guy who's supposedly the Russian agent that supplied the dossier information to Christopher Steele, which then, of course, made it to the papers.
00:10:41.820And the guy was just a thank tank guy living outside of Washington, D.C.
00:10:47.020I believe that the Sussman. This is just my gut, Matt.
00:10:52.360I believe that Durham thought that Sussman would cooperate.
00:10:57.620And, you know, Sussman probably didn't want to end up at the bottom of the Potomac.
00:11:01.200So he rolled the dice and said, well, I think, you know, we're going to go for it.
00:11:06.960We'll get a jury that's 95 percent Trump haters and we'll roll the dice and see if we can get this done.
00:11:13.220And I'm sure if not, he probably would have been pardoned by Biden, you know, had he been prosecuted.
00:11:17.540But I think Durham probably went thinking that, OK, Sussman's the guy.
00:11:22.120He was the gatekeeper. He knows everything that happened here.
00:11:24.860And if we threaten it, you know, if he could possibly go to jail for five years, maybe he will talk.
00:11:31.060And that's ultimately how you get the bad actors, the dirty cops at the DOJ and the FBI.
00:11:35.840But that failed. And I think that's a larger problem.
00:11:39.240You know, we opened up with, you know, with what do I think the biggest problem in the U.S. is?
00:11:43.600You asked external, but I really think it's it's really internal.
00:11:47.080And that is that it's a sad state of affairs.
00:11:49.560I guarantee you, had you or I been prosecuted in Washington, D.C. for exactly the same thing, we would the jury would have deliberated, Matt, for about just long enough to sign whatever documentation they would have.
00:12:03.260Listen, if we could be convicted of abducting the Lindbergh baby, we could be convicted of killing Jimmy Hoffa inside of Washington, D.C.
00:12:12.900And everybody knows it. And that is part of the parlance.
00:12:16.380That is part of the game that the DOJ plays in order to be the enforcement wing of the Democratic Party.
00:12:22.740It is likely that Republicans will take control of the Congress following the midterm elections.
00:12:28.080I believe that Nancy Pelosi will step aside as leader.
00:12:31.200And I am already watching your former colleague, my current colleague, Adam Schiff, campaign among the Democrats to lead their caucus.
00:12:39.300He certainly wants to be the lead on the Intelligence Committee.
00:12:42.600If that doesn't work out for him, how would you deal with Adam Schiff if you were the Republican leader, the Republican speaker?
00:12:50.320Would you allow him to serve on committees and how how much of a threat is Adam Schiff to the country?
00:12:55.660Well, the thing that I'm thinking of, Matt, right off the top of my head is that how could they possibly elect what I at least what I know of a straight white Jewish guy as their leader?
00:13:34.980Some have said he shouldn't be allowed to serve on the Intelligence Committee, given the damage that he did to that committee in politicizing it and lying in mischaracterizing intelligence.
00:13:44.920If you were the Republican leader, would you allow Adam Schiff on the Intelligence Committee?
00:13:49.300And I think there's several of those guys that don't belong on there.
00:13:52.420But I think there's a bigger there's a bigger challenge that you guys are going to have.
00:13:56.220And that is that I don't know how you guys can conduct you when I say the Republicans would be able to conduct the type of investigation that needs to that has to happen under the current kind of confines of how of, you know, the typical committees, Intelligence Committee, Judiciary Committee.
00:14:17.600You know, we had enough challenges with that over the years with probably one of the only real successful congressional investigations in modern history was the one that that that I ran that, you know, that you participated in.
00:14:29.100And I think what the type of investigating that has to occur here, you have to look at the Congress in the House will have to look at all this crap that probably started in 2015 from the Russia hoax to the Ukraine hoax to the Hunter Biden laptop to the coordination with the big tech companies to what happened on January 6th, what happened in Michigan.
00:14:52.880The entire Department of Justice has to be completely turned upside down and looked into.
00:14:59.680And you guys are going to have to figure out a way on how to conduct that information, because look, does that does that way mean excluding Democrats from committees?
00:15:07.720Does that way mean the Republican leader appointing the Democrats to the committees?
00:15:11.960Like what what is that? What is the tactical move you suggest so that we're able to endeavor on the important work you've called?
00:15:17.720I mean, it may it it even could it even could look, it needs to at a minimum be a special committee, I think.
00:15:25.020And now that Pelosi has created, you know, unprecedented, you know, in our 200, nearly 250 year history of deciding what minority members can and cannot serve on a committee.
00:15:37.360Would you do that, though? Would you would you run? Would you run the Democrats play back back at them?
00:15:44.140Look, I think not only it's not about the playbook, it's that I've dealt with leftists out here.
00:15:49.300This is not the Democratic Party. These are not, you know, southern old Democrats from, you know, the panhandle of Florida or like I used to have here in the San Joaquin Valley.
00:15:58.060Those people are gone. They've been replaced by Marxists that are very, very dangerous.
00:16:02.860And I've watched what's happened here in the state of California. And if you don't watch it across the rest of the country, this is going to happen.
00:16:09.080The only thing that makes these guys move is pain and extreme political pain, because, as you know, with the propaganda machine that they have, they will just turn.
00:16:20.260I mean, you know, they can say I've never seen people so soulless that they'll look outside.
00:16:27.320I don't know if it's, you know, raining or hot or muggy or what it is in Washington, D.C. right now.
00:16:33.720But they will look outside the window at high noon and they will say, my God, it's the middle of the night.
00:16:41.600And then the news media will say, yes, it's definitely the middle of the night.
00:16:44.400And Matt Gaetz says, well, no, I see the sun out my window.
00:16:48.000Matt Gaetz is this and that. Let's get Department of Justice to go after him.
00:16:53.340A midnight denier. A daytime truther. Speaking of truth.
00:16:57.080So I think seriously, though, you guys are going to have to look at some type of special commission of some kind that that basically takes what Pelosi did with the corruption side of it,
00:17:12.940but actually turn it on its head and do a real do real work and only allow real people on it.
00:17:18.540And you have to dissect the DOJ, all the intelligence agencies.
00:17:22.440You know, you're going to have the problems with your Merrick Garland and whoever's running that shop over there.
00:17:27.700I mean, the fact that none of us like that, that and I've said this from the beginning with Jan 6, Matt.
00:17:34.380I want the people who broke the windows to be prosecuted.
00:17:38.260I want the people that broke into the Senate chamber to be prosecuted.
00:17:42.140I want the people that planted the pipe bombs to be prosecuted.
00:17:45.900I still don't know who the hell those people are other than the Viking dude, you know, that I you know,
00:17:50.200that wasn't even a Republican that got in in there that day.
00:17:53.180But I mean, they are prosecuting people.
00:18:15.880I mean, you know, look, I just I just want to know, you know, now that I'm I'm sitting outside and not a member of Congress and you is as since I'm part time in Florida now, Matt, you're in my congressional delegation.
00:18:27.780I just want to know who the hell Ray Epps is.
00:18:33.240Well, I think that why why didn't he get arrested?
00:18:36.040I mean, this is this is this is madness.
00:18:38.420Yes. The undeniable headline of this discussion is Devin Nunes, presidential Medal of Freedom winner and former intelligence chairman, says the Republicans have to turn DOJ on their head and dissect them when we take power and that we're going to have to use some of the tools that we've seen on display that the Democrats have used.
00:18:56.880We have to have that in our toolkit and we have to assemble a way to do it now to get the truth out, you know, better than just about anyone in the world, the headwinds we face from big government, big media and big tech.
00:19:10.300And so you left Congress to go and endeavor to make the Internet a free, open place for people to exchange ideas without some Woketopian in Silicon Valley shadow banning or muting or just limiting the delivery of data.
00:19:26.800What is the Devin Nunes vision for the future of the Internet and social and digital interactions there?
00:19:33.240Yeah. So I left Congress for one reason, one reason only.
00:19:36.660And I knew a lot about the shadow ban.
00:19:38.580I was one of the first guys to be shadow banned by these big tech companies.
00:19:49.640And kind of what really was the turning point for me was when in 2020 I saw polls that still showed that over half of America believed that Trump and Republicans had something to do with Russia.
00:20:04.720And I said, how the hell is that possible?
00:20:09.480And of course, you know, we saw the Hunter Biden laptop story that was that was completely buried.
00:20:15.640I mean, so real things happened later.
00:20:17.720We found out that Mark Zuckerberg put in four hundred and nineteen million dollars, which, by the way, that also needs to be investigated by you guys.
00:20:25.980It's probably not under the DOJ realm, but it's somewhere else.
00:20:28.800That's got to be completely pulled apart.
00:20:31.660I mean, four hundred and nineteen million dollars.
00:20:33.620I mean, maybe in Washington, D.C. terms, it doesn't sound like a lot of money.
00:20:37.080But in political terms, it's real money.
00:20:40.740You know where we do we do vote harvesting now in California.
00:20:44.460Remember, I told you like how Marx Marxist just completely destroy the system.
00:20:51.600It's it's it's sadly it's legal in California to vote harvesting.
00:20:55.540I don't know, Matt, how you could possibly spend four hundred and nineteen million dollars in those 10 swing states, you know, like like he did.
00:21:04.340And so the bottom line is when President Trump called and said, you know, will you come and do this?
00:21:10.840You know, I had been around the country.
00:21:13.560I had told people that this was the most important issue at the highest level, which is our our inability to even communicate with one one another.
00:21:22.040And, you know, you can't it's it's you know, it's basic it's basic warfare where you're fighting, whether you're fighting a kinetic war or a propaganda war like we're in right now.
00:21:31.460If you can't communicate with one another, you're dead and you and you die.
00:21:36.180And if if truth wasn't there, I will tell you, you know, the world would be a very, very dark place.
00:21:43.540We have millions of Americans now on the platform.
00:21:46.180We now just opened up in the UK, you know, and we've only been out.
00:21:50.740We're not even fully launched yet because we're not even on the Google Play Store yet.
00:21:57.900You can go to truth social dot com and get an account, even if you have an Android.
00:22:01.140But and folks can follow you at Devin Nunes on truth.
00:22:04.880They can follow me at rep Matt Gates on truth.
00:22:08.140And, you know, I've really enjoyed the experience.
00:22:10.600A lot of folks that I follow and I want to see what they're reading and talking about and thinking about.
00:22:16.200And one thing I really appreciated about truth is that if you link to external research, your post isn't discriminated against.
00:22:23.980Like on Twitter, they discriminate against any post that doesn't keep people totally glued and addicted to their platform.
00:22:31.520And I think truth, you know, is more of a of a jumping off point to being able to look at the clips you want to look at for that day or read the articles you want for that day.
00:22:41.520If someone's not on truth right now, what are they missing, Devin?
00:22:45.680Look, we're the only place that doesn't censor for political purposes and we can't be canceled.
00:22:51.120Right. So we're on we're operating on the rumble cloud.
00:22:54.320You know, look, we want to we want to a lot of people compare us to Twitter, but I don't care about Twitter.
00:22:59.900You know, a lot of we got a lot of those questions.
00:23:01.580In fact, President Trump and I both said, look, you know, if Elon Musk wants to buy Twitter, go ahead.
00:23:06.140But, you know, normal Americans really aren't on on Twitter.
00:23:09.040It's basically a glorified PR wire on the Internet for celebrities, Hollywood types and and, you know, journalists and corporations.
00:23:36.940So what we're trying to do is take the best of all those platforms, make it simple to use, very intuitive.
00:23:43.140We only have our we're only at five features of the 10 features that we hope to get built this year.
00:23:48.580And so when you mentioned, you know, the time, you know, the timeline and, you know, we just don't censor.
00:23:54.080So if Matt, if you put something on right now on the truth and I come in and put something on two minutes later, that's going to be the order.
00:24:02.000You'll see my post and you'll see your post.
00:24:04.480And look, we don't allow illegal activity.
00:24:07.040We try to keep all the bots off, all the spam off.
00:24:09.460So you're not going to get what you typically get on the other accounts.
00:24:12.080And I think at the end of the day, we're like that safe place where, you know, we're not going to steal your data and sell it.
00:24:28.060Like, I don't know if you've seen the new feature build out that we launched three weeks ago, Matt.
00:24:31.480But now we have a scroll at the top where you can actually go in and the people that you that you follow and interact with the most, they pop up on there.
00:25:31.820You know, there's no way for, you know, we don't have enough money or time in the world to go develop a whole new phone system operating system.
00:25:38.960And so those two companies have, you know, essentially the entire market.
00:25:43.780So, look, the answer is, is, you know, they could approve us today if they wanted to.
00:25:50.380And so we've got we've got our hopefully they will.
00:25:52.280We've got a lot of our Rumble listeners talking about how much they enjoy truth.
00:25:56.340Truth Social today is busy, busy frenzy Friday, says one of our viewers.
00:26:01.660And another suggests that we ban tick tock.
00:26:04.740You know, you you seem to be a person right at the intersection of intelligence and big tech.
00:26:09.700Is tick tock a threat to national security, being that all that data ends up with the Chinese Communist Party?
00:26:18.080You know, and I think it's also dangerous as to the out in the long run, the types of algorithms that they can put into there that can actually begin to poison our young people.
00:26:28.100And that's what I'm really worried about.
00:26:29.660And that, you know, I've got I've got three young daughters.
00:26:34.560You know, it's a it's a challenge just to keep off.
00:26:50.420And you can imagine we don't let them be on tick tock, but you can imagine that what's happening to children, how they're being poisoned.
00:26:56.500So it's not just the data and it's really the data that then you can take AI, build algorithms to then carry messages.
00:27:05.020I mean, imagine the damage if the Chinese really wanted to, that they could inflict on this country by just inundating our young people.
00:27:12.320And they probably are already doing it or look and maybe it's just such a sewer pit.
00:27:17.200The Chinese don't have to do anything anyway.
00:27:19.080But in the long run, it's it's a real problem.
00:27:21.560I mean, all of China, I worry about giving the Chinese Communist Party an intelligence collection vector into every American home, you know, into the life of every American family.
00:27:32.080And I think the American people need to realize what a threat tick tock is.
00:27:35.980Truth Social is a great alternative, a great way to interact with folks.
00:27:39.280Congressman Devin Nunes is the CEO, Presidential Medal of Freedom winner and the former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
00:27:47.740Devin, thank you so much for joining me here on Firebrand.
00:27:50.700And we wish you the best of luck in your endeavors.
00:28:35.400But the fact that that song got banned and isn't being played by anyone.
00:28:39.680And Matt, I don't know if you've heard the song, but, you know, it's not like it's a Joe Biden sucks and Trump is great and Republicans are the best.
00:29:28.340We are here live in the Longworth office building.
00:29:32.640And right now, I want to give everyone a key update regarding what's happening on the House floor.
00:29:38.300We've got H.R. 1808, the assault weapons ban of 2022.
00:29:42.940Now, this is legislation that was up in the House Judiciary Committee.
00:29:46.440And one of the things I found most offensive about this assault weapons ban, other than the abject attack on our Constitution that it clearly is, they exempt government federal bureaucrats.
00:29:59.320Now, I guess you could understand the FBI or entities that have real law enforcement needs and capabilities.
00:30:07.140But this bill preserves assault weapons, weapons of war, as the Democrats call them, for the Department of Education, for the IRS, for the Department of Agriculture.
00:30:20.940And it shows that they're actually not really against firearms.
00:30:27.460And a lot of Democrats don't understand the principal value of the Second Amendment, to curate a balance between the government and free people that nurtures liberty and that does not allow tyranny.
00:30:39.280And so before the August recess, they're trying to get this bill to the floor.
00:30:45.300We've got folks battling it out to try to get at least some amendments into the debate and discussion so that we can show the American people that this version of the Democratic Party is a gun-grabbing party, a freedom-squelching party.
00:31:00.080I had a debate on this subject in the House Judiciary Committee recently.
00:31:43.860And we are fighting against it in committee, on the floor, certainly with the vote that we can cast on behalf of the great people of Florida's first congressional district.
00:31:51.940Now, you heard Devin Nunes recently talk about the need to really dissect the corruption that we see in the deep state.
00:32:01.360And he would know, as the former chairman of the Intelligence Committee, just yesterday, we had the head of the National Security Division of the Department of Justice before the Judiciary Committee.
00:32:12.660I had a series of very thorough questions.
00:32:18.660You won't tell me whether or not our own government was out there trying to operate through a cutout to buy software that spies on Americans illegally and improperly.
00:32:31.120You won't tell me whether or not the legal wing of the Democratic Party was passing you information that was actually opposition research,
00:32:38.340then to be recategorized and repackaged as national security information.
00:32:42.200And you won't tell me whether the president of the United States has compromised when we know he's lying.
00:32:47.380I mean, like Joe Biden came out and said repeatedly that he never talked to Hunter Biden about business.
00:32:53.720And here you have 14 documented meetings.
00:32:56.740It's like, are you guys ever going to investigate this?
00:32:58.720Or is it just going to be what Mr. Tebalt said, what Mr. Grassley said?
00:33:04.360And that is that you guys are basically political shills.
00:33:07.020I mean, look, this is what Mr. Grassley said.
00:33:09.260If these allegations are true and accurate, the Justice Department and FBI are and have been institutionally corrupted to their very core,
00:33:16.360to the point at which the United States Congress and the American people will have no confidence in the equal application of the law.
00:33:21.980Can't you see that's what your behavior is continuing to just metastasize?
00:33:27.000So we don't conduct our investigations in public.
00:33:45.300And you're just choosing not to investigate it because it's the Bidens.
00:33:47.960We are going to have a lot more information on the podcast in the coming weeks regarding the oversight work that has to happen from the United States Congress
00:33:59.520and the information we've already pieced together regarding the Biden trips, Joe Biden taking Hunter to China.
00:34:07.200And then lo and behold, one of Hunter's companies gets a Chinese license that had been toiling to get and had been unsuccessful for quite some time.
00:34:35.960The Biden administration has dismantled Trump's China initiative to focus prosecutorial efforts against Chinese influence peddling,
00:34:46.040against Chinese espionage in the United States of America.
00:34:49.440President Trump knew that we had to have very, very tough policies to stop the Chinese from compromising our politicians and hollowing out our country for their benefit.
