1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: Shocking the world, and that's the best way I can 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: describe it. Christen Cinema, who is a Democrat in Arizona, 3 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,160 Speaker 1: has just left the Democratic Party as they were celebrating 4 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: for barely twenty four hours picking up a fifty one 5 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: forty nine majority in the Senate. This will be a 6 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 1: big change that fifty one will go back to fifty 7 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,119 Speaker 1: there will be one independent. The questions who is she 8 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: going to caucus with and who is she going to 9 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: vote for in the majority race. There Cinema saying I'm 10 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: leaving the Democratic Party and becoming an independent. Won't be 11 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 1: stuck into one party's demands of following without thinking. Now, 12 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: this is obviously breaking news. This is everything that people 13 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,279 Speaker 1: are talking about because this would change the Democrats from 14 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: the fifty one forty nine majority to now going back 15 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: to basically almost a virtual tie. During an interview was 16 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: Senn Jake's Tapper release this morning Arizona Center, Christen Cinema 17 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: announced she's leaving the Democratic Party and becoming an independent 18 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: and by doing so, quote should be able to show 19 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: up to work every day as an independent and not 20 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 1: to be stuck into one party's demands following without thinking 21 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: I'm going to play this for you. Is it just 22 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: happened moments ago on CNN. You're here to make a 23 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: significant announcement. I've registered as an Arizona Independent. And I 24 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: know some people might be a little bit surprised by this, 25 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: but actually I think it makes a lot of sense. 26 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: You know, a growing number of Arizona opponents and people 27 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: like me just don't feel like we fit neatly into 28 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: one party's box or the other, and so, like many 29 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: across the state in the nation, I've decided to leave 30 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 1: that partisan process and really just focus on the work 31 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: that I think matters to Arizona into our country, which 32 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: is solving problems and getting things done. So your voting 33 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: record is pretty capital d democratic. I mean, your views 34 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: are generally that a moderate centrist Democrat. How does leaving 35 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: the party change how you do your job? Well, I 36 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: don't think anything will change about how I do my job. 37 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: Arizonan sent me to the United States Senate to be 38 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: an independent voice for our state, and I'll continue doing that. 39 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: What I think is important about this decision and this 40 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: move is that I'll be able to show up to 41 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: work every day as an independent and not be stuck 42 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: into one party's demands of following without thinking. And as 43 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: we've seen in recent years, both parties have created this 44 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: kind of requirement or a pull towards the edges that 45 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:48,399 Speaker 1: you just unthinkingly support all of one party's viewpoints. It's 46 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: made it difficult to find folks who are willing to 47 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: work together and solve problems. Now, as you know, Jake, 48 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: we've been able to do a lot of bipartisan work 49 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: over the last couple of years and incredible be proud 50 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: of that. And I think it's important for folks across 51 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: my state and frankly across the country to say, yep, 52 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: there's someone. There's someone that's kind of like me, doesn't 53 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: fit neatly into one box or the other, but is 54 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: standing up for their values, for what they believe in, 55 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,959 Speaker 1: and is doing it without trying to get one over 56 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: on the other party or beat the other guy. So 57 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: let's talk about practically what this means. Because you're the 58 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: chair of at least two subcommittees, you're a member of 59 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: a number of important committees, including Veterans affairs, Does this 60 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: mean that you're no longer going to be in those 61 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: positions because you're no longer a Democrat and the Democrats 62 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: control the Senate. Well, I intend to maintain my position 63 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: on my committees and keep doing the work that I've 64 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: been doing for Arizona. So I don't think that things 65 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: will change in terms of how I operate or the 66 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: work that I do in the United States Senate. So Ever, 67 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: since Raphael Warnock Senator Warnock was reelected earlier this week, 68 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: the balance of power right now is fifty one Democrats 69 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: or fifty one votes for the Democratic Party. That includes 70 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: two independents, Angus King of Maine and Bernie Sanders of Vermont. 71 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: But that's fifty forty nine. What you're doing today doesn't 72 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: change that. It's still basically going to be fifty one 73 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: forty nine. Well, I know you have to ask that question, Jake, Yeah, 74 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: but that's kind of a DC thing to worry about. 75 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: What I'm really focused on is just making sure that 76 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 1: I'm doing what I think comports with my values and 77 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: the values of Arizonans. So when I come to work 78 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: each day, it'll be the same. I'm going to still 79 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: come to work and hopefully serve on the same committees 80 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: I've been serving on and continue to work well with 81 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: my colleagues of both political parties, and I'm not really 82 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: spending much time worrying about what the mechanics look like 83 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: for Washington, DC. And to be honest, Jake, I don't 84 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: think anyone in Arizona is caring about that either. So 85 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: I don't think things will change much for me, and 86 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: I don't think things will change much for Arizonans. Arizona 87 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: senator makes the change days after the Democrats pick up 88 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: fifty one majority. Now she was counted in that number 89 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: of the fifty one, so that means they dropped out 90 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: of fifty forty nine. She is now an independent. During 91 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: this interview that was just released, quote, she said, I'll 92 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: be able to show up to work every day as 93 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: an independent and not be stuck into one party's demands. 94 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: Following without thinking, she said she's registered as an Arizona Independent. 95 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: And I know some people might be a little bit 96 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: surprised by this, but actually I think it makes a 97 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: lot of sense. A growing number of Arizonas and people 98 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: like me just don't feel like we fit neatly into 99 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: one party's box or the other, and so, like many 100 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: across the state in the nation, I've decided to leave 101 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: the Parson process and really focus on the work that 102 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: I think matters to Arizona and to our country, which 103 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: is solving problems and getting things done. This is going 104 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: to be a huge blow to the Democratic Party. Understand 105 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: that first. Okay, this is going to be a massive blow. 106 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: Here is the second part of what she had to 107 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: say about her leaving the Democratic Party. This is again 108 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: worst case scenario news for the Democrats. To take a listen. 109 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: It's also an unusual time because the Democrats in Washington 110 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 1: feel really good right now. They actually picked up a 111 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 1: Senate seat and picked up some governor seats. It's the 112 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: first time the party that controls the White House actually 113 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 1: gained Senate and governor seats since nineteen thirty four. The 114 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: wave that was supposed to come, the red wave, didn't 115 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: actually happen. Kevin McCarthy or the Republicans. Maybe Kevin McCarthy 116 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: will be the Speaker, but either way, the Republicans will 117 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: control the House, but not with the margins they were expecting. 118 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: This is going to disappoint a lot of Democrats and 119 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: they're also going to feel like they don't understand why 120 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: would you do this at a time when the Democratic 121 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: Party is having a good week. Well, I think folks 122 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: at home in Arizona have known me for a very 123 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: long time and they know who I am. I've always 124 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: been someone who is focused on getting results, getting things done, 125 00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: and I've never fit neatly into any party box really tried. 126 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: I don't want to, and I think that's reflective of 127 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 1: how most Arizonans live. You know, Arizonans who aren't affiliated 128 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: with either party are often the largest group of voters 129 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: in Arizona, and even those who are affiliated with parties 130 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: often fine that they don't fit one hundred percent into 131 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: that box. The reality is is that when we get 132 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: up in the morning, we don't really think about partisanship. 133 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: Most people don't wake up and think, Okay, well, I've 134 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: got to get this Democratic breakfast on the table. I 135 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: got to get in my Republican car and go to work. 136 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: That's not how real life is. I know it is 137 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: in this town, but in the rest of the country, 138 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: people are just living their lives and so they're not 139 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: thinking about who's winning and who's losing. But that's what 140 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: the parties are thinking about, is how do we get 141 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: one over on this guy, How do we ensure that 142 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: we're punishing them, How do we continue to win. And 143 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: what I'm really focused on, I think the proof is 144 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: in the pudding of the work I've done in the Senate. 145 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: I'm really focused on getting results, like actually solving problems, 146 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: and so, you know, removing myself from the partisan structure. 147 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: Not only is it true to who I am and 148 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: how I operate, I also think it'll provide a place 149 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: of belonging for many folks across the state in the 150 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: country who also are tired of the partisanship. Well, there's 151 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: going to be a lot of noise about this from 152 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: the Democrats, from progressives, from the left. You know this 153 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: that because of your position working with Senator Joe Mansion 154 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: of West Virginia to push back on some of the efforts, 155 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: the legislative efforts and change them and moderate them, You've 156 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: already been a target of the left and people have 157 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: been very critical of you. They're going to call you 158 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: every name in the book after this comes out. They're 159 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: going to call you a traitor, They're going to call 160 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: you an ingrate. What are you going to say, Well, 161 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: I think I'll do what I always do with Jake, 162 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: which has keep doing the work that I know is 163 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: important for my state. You know, I just not worried 164 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: about folks who may not like this approach. What I 165 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: am worried about is continuing to do what's right for 166 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: my state. And there are folks who certainly don't like 167 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: my approach. We hear about it a lot, but the 168 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: proof is in the pudding. You know, in the last 169 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: few years in the Senate, as you and I have 170 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: just mentioned, I've been honored to lead historic efforts from 171 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 1: infrastructure to gun violence prevention, to protecting religious liberty and 172 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: helping LGBT families feel secure, to the Chips and Science Bill, 173 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: to the work we've done on veterans issues. The list 174 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: is really long, and so I think that the results 175 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: speak for themselves. It's okay if some people aren't comfortable 176 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: with that approach. Shocking interview here, the Democrats going to 177 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,719 Speaker 1: be furious. As he just mentioned there, I don't think 178 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: anything will change about how I do my job. She said. 179 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: Also say, now, as you know, Jake, we've been able 180 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: to do a lot of bipartisan work over the last 181 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: couple of years. I'm not sure that's true, by the way, 182 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: but let's just go with it for a second. And 183 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: I'm incredibly proud of that I think it's important for 184 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: folks across my state, friends across the country say yep, 185 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 1: there's someone that's kind of like me. Doesn't fit neatly 186 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: into one box or the other, but it's standing up 187 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: for their values. Cinema also say that she intends to 188 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: maintain my position on the committees and keep doing the 189 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: work that I've been doing for Arizona. So I think 190 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: that things will change in terms of how I operate 191 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: or work that I do in the United States Senate. 192 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 1: After Tapper, as you heard, they're asked her if her 193 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: switch will change the balance of the Senate being fifty 194 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 1: forty nine with the other two independents voting with the Democrat. 195 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: Cinema responded, I know you have to ask that question, Jake, 196 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: but I think that's kind of a DC thing to 197 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: worry about now, it's not really it's control of Congress, 198 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: so that's stupid to say that. But whatever what she 199 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: will do, we don't know yet. This is a very 200 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: interest interesting move. Arizona Governor let Kitty Hobbs now been 201 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: outed helped censor social media speech while Secretary of State. 202 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: That's right. While serving as Secretary of State. Governor elect 203 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: Kitty Hobbs played a role in the censorship of social 204 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: media speech, according to documents submitted as part of discovery 205 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: in the case Missouri v. Biden. Hobbs office reached out 206 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: to the Center for Internet Security CIS, a nonprofit that 207 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: acts as a mediator between government and seas and social 208 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: media companies, to request a review of Twitter's post claiming 209 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: that Arizona's voter registration system was owned and operated by 210 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 1: foreign actors. This is an attempt to further undermine confidence 211 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: in the election institutions in Arizona, hobbs office stated at 212 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: the time. Within thirty minutes, Twitter told CIS that it 213 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: would escalate their issue with the posts. About seven hours later, 214 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: Twitter notified CIS that it deleted the offensive offending posts. 215 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: The entire exchange took place on January the seventh, last year, 216 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: the day after the Capitol riots. Both tweets were removed 217 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: from service. Stated Twitter, now we have the breaking news 218 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 1: emails league to reveal that the Arizona Secretary of State, 219 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: Kitty Hobbs, was in regular communication with Twitter, telling them 220 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: literally who to censor now. She's going to be the governor. 221 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 1: In the months following the exchange, revealed in court filings, 222 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: Hobbes focused on publicizing her view of danger that misinformation 223 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: and disinformation pose. She even put out tweets like this, 224 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: It said, lies, conspiracy theories, and disinformation posed a real 225 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: threat to our democracy. She tweeted that last April, until 226 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: the legislatures wanted to commit to funding robust public education 227 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: efforts around our elections, open and transparent partnerships like this 228 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: will continue to be vital. Hobbes also alluded to her 229 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: work in eradicating speech deemed misinformation or disinformation while on 230 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: the campaign trail last September, saying I fought against misinformation 231 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: and even death threats to defend Arizona elections. Hobbs wrote, 232 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: always fight the spread of misinformation, never back down from 233 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: telling the truth. We can't let the conspiracy theories theorists win, 234 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: she went on to say. Now. After the discovery of 235 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: Hobbes's intervention in social media speech went viral over the weekend, 236 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: Hobb's team engaged with mainstream media outlets account of the controversy. 237 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: Ali Bones Hobbes, Assistant Secretary of State and incoming chief 238 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: of Staff, shared a statement with various outlets asserting that 239 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,079 Speaker 1: it was the Secretary of state's job to not only 240 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: inform voters, but to get rid of what they deemed 241 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: not to be true. Bones dismissed concerns about the government's 242 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: control over online speech, insisting that the CIS arrangement was 243 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,719 Speaker 1: the norm, saying, quote, one of the ways we make 244 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: sure that voters are informed is by working to counter 245 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: disinformation online that can confuse voters. Bones derive the GOP 246 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: leaders who called for an investigation into the incoming governor Hobbs, 247 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: claiming they were taking the speech monitoring arrangement out of context. 248 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: The email exchange is from January of twenty twenty one, 249 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: screenshots are not are out there. Not only was it 250 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: taken entirely out of contexts they claim it has nothing 251 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: to do with this year's midterm elections. Bones said this 252 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: yet another example of conspiracy theorists trying to create chaos 253 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: and confusion by casting doubt over our election system. It's 254 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: unfair to Arizona voters and it's harmful to our democracy. 255 00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: Bones told Axios that seeking to remove the Verify Belief 256 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: false information is not silencing dissent. CIS operates as a 257 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: middleman of sorts for government agencies or officials and social 258 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: media companies. Its Election Infrastructure Information Sharing Analysts Center, also 259 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: known as l I SAC, operates a situation awareness room 260 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: to coordinate government and private companies concerning information dissemination and 261 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: other election threats in the twenty twenty elections. Cis noted 262 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty report that it leverage relationships with 263 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: elected officials as its past and its past work and 264 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: correcting election miss information to create the communications hub. They say, 265 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: quote the groundbreaking single point of coordination to federal, state, local, 266 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: and private partners allowed all relevant stakeholders to quickly review 267 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: incoming information, established ground truths, respond accordingly to the threats. 268 00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: The SAC served as a central hall for election officials 269 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: to report misinformation about the election infrastructure during the twenty 270 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: twenty general election. So they're proud of this, saying there's 271 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: nothing wrong here, This is totally normal. Really, I want 272 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: you to now hear what Senator Johnson was saying. I 273 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: was going to play this a moment ago, but I 274 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: wanted to tell you about Katie Hobbs and listening to 275 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: the questions he was asked by Hannity about these bigger 276 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: issues with the Twitter files, the FBI, media and big 277 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: tech are they all completed at working together. I would say, yes, 278 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: take a listen. Ask you about this issue. How the 279 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: FBI on a weekly basis was warning big tech companies. 280 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: I know you and Senator Grassley, you're going to have 281 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: a lot of FBI whistleblowers coming out and speaking publicly 282 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: and getting their testimony. But the FBI meeting weekly with 283 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: all these big tech companies warning them of a potential 284 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: hack and leak operation. We know that the former head 285 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: of site integrity for Twitter, guy by the name of 286 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: Yol Roth, that he's testified under oath that in fact, 287 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: the FBI specifically mentioned you might get information about Hunter Biden. 288 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: But yet we know that the FBI had Hunter Biden's 289 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: laptop for eleven months prior to the twenty twenty election. 290 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: They knew what was in there, they had plenty of 291 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: time to vetted it and find out that it was 292 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: in fact his laptop. And then we're finding out why 293 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: would the FBI be warning big tech companies not to 294 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: report a story that they should have known by that 295 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: point was true that that was Hunter's laptop. In other words, 296 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: did the FBI put the finger on the scale like 297 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 1: they did in twenty sixteen in order to help a 298 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: Democratic presidential candidate. Yes, they did, and they did it 299 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: way before October of twenty twenty. I mean, it certainly 300 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: starts explaining why we received that unsolicited briefing from the 301 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 1: FBI in August two thousand and six. They knew FBI 302 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: knew that Chuck Grass and I were investigating Hunter Biden. 303 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,199 Speaker 1: So they're out there talking to Night only us, but 304 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: also these social media companies and saying, you know, they're 305 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 1: just might be some hacking going on here of candidates, 306 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: family members, and you know who knows they could take 307 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: that hack material and turned into disinformation people like on 308 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden. They were already setting the stage because they 309 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: knew the Hunter Biden computers out there. They basically threatened 310 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: in a veiled attempt, or veiled way, mister mciaac. You know, boy, 311 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: people at TAKA don't get in trouble, don't get hurt. 312 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 1: And so they were just laying the groundwork in case 313 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 1: that computer ever surfaced, to sabotage it by by labeling 314 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: it misinformation. You know, what was their coordination with the 315 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: fifty one intelligence officials that wrote that letter that helped 316 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: interfere in our elections? So there's no doubt about that 317 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: this corruption was occurring all through twenty twenty. We had 318 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: Democrats in Congress also trying to do everything they could 319 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 1: undermine Senator Grassley's and my efforts. So I have no 320 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: idea how coordinated, but sure seems pretty coordinated effort by 321 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: Democrats in Congress, the FBI, the mainstream media, and the 322 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: social media companies. So did they if you use the 323 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: words of Elon Musk, he talked about, for example, the 324 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 1: very definition if you're shutting down dissenting voices, it is, 325 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: by its very definition, election interference. We know that the 326 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: FBI was telling all of these big tech companies warning them, oh, 327 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: they might have these hack and league operations. You got 328 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: to be on the lookout for it, and in fact, 329 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,679 Speaker 1: you don't want to disseminate information that turns out to 330 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: be false. Now they had the laptop, did they not 331 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: know after eleven months of having a laptop, now they've 332 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 1: had it three years, that in fact that it was 333 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 1: legitimately Hunter Biden's laptop? And shouldn't they have known? And 334 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: if they did know, why would they knowingly be lying 335 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 1: to big tech companies about a story like that, Because 336 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: they're partisans and they're tipping the scales. And yes, they 337 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: interfered in the twenty twenty election to a farger extent 338 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 1: than anything Russia ever could have hoped to accomplish. And 339 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 1: quite honestly, Sean, by giving me that briefing in August 340 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: and then leaking it and smearing me in May of 341 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, we also interfered in the Wisconsin Senate 342 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: election as well. So we've got a real problem in 343 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: the FBI. But again, the media and big text social 344 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: media giants are also complicit and corrupt as well. This 345 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 1: is a much bigger story in just the Twitter files. 346 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: By the way, Ron Johnson's right, this is much bigger 347 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: than the Twitter files. This was a coordinated effort that 348 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: happened on a regular basis all across big tech from 349 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. That's just the truth. Also, other shocking 350 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: news with the Twitter files have been released Part two. 351 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: No I and many other conservatives were not paranoid. We 352 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 1: were not diving into conspiracy theories. It was a fact 353 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: that we all knew was true. But now we have 354 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: the proof. Twitter was shadow banning and silencing conservatives on 355 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: a regular daily basis for years. They censored conservatives. They 356 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 1: silenced conservatives. They made it where they couldn't their tweets 357 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: wouldn't be seen. A new Twitter file investigation has revealed 358 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: that many tools. There were many tools that the company 359 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:22,199 Speaker 1: executives employed to blacklist and shadow banned conservatives. So even 360 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: though you had your account, no one was seeing what 361 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,360 Speaker 1: you were saying. The thread posted the elon Muss platform 362 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: revealed that the internal Twitter name for shadow banning is 363 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 1: visibly filtering quote unquote released by former New York Times 364 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 1: reporter Barry Weiss and yet another lengthy Twitter thread, the 365 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 1: revelation on Thursday show that several mainstream conservative voices, from 366 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk to Dan Bongino were shadow banned by the 367 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: social media company under the rubiks of visibly filtering or VF. 368 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 1: At one point, Twitter even place Stanford professor a Stanford 369 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: professor under the label trends blacklist. Why was that Stanford 370 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: professor put under trends blacklists? Quote for arguing that coronavirus 371 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: lockdowns would harm it children? Per Weiss, this is the 372 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: reporter's words. Twitter once had a mission quote to give 373 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 1: everyone the power to create and share ideas and information 374 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: instantly without barriers along the way. Barriers, nevertheless, were erected. 375 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: Take for example, Stanford's doctor j Bacharia, who argued that 376 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 1: COVID lockdowns would harm children. Twitter secretly placed him on 377 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: a trends blacklist, which prevented his tweets from from twining 378 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: trending on the platform no matter what. You can also 379 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: consider the popular right wing talk show host Dan Bongino, 380 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: who at one point was slapped with a search blacklist. 381 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 1: I mean you couldn't find him. Twitter set the account 382 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: of concerned activists Charlie Kirk to a setting they had 383 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: internally called do not amplify, so that you couldn't make 384 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: his points bigger than other people would actually see them. 385 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:16,360 Speaker 1: They had things like trends blacklists, and the list went 386 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: on and on. This was shocking. Twitter set the account, 387 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: as I said, of conservative activists Charlie Kirk, to do 388 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 1: not amplify, so no matter what he shared, it wouldn't 389 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: get big as whist and multiple conservative commentators pointed out. 390 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: Twitter routinely denied shadow banning voices, especially based on political 391 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: viewpoints or ideology. A shadow banning might not be the 392 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: term that Twitter employed, the companies still perform these the 393 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 1: censorship practice under the banner of visibility filtering or VF 394 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: in their documents, they had a setting they could go 395 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: into their platform, click the VF button, and bam, you 396 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: lost your ability to reach society. According to Weiss, multiple 397 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 1: high level sources confirmed that visibility filtering took place. Quote 398 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: think about visibility filtering as being away for us to 399 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: suppress what people see to different levels. It's a very 400 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: powerful tool, That's what one senior employee is quoted as 401 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 1: having told Weiss. We control visibility quite a bit, and 402 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: we control the amplification of your content quite a bit, 403 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 1: and normal people do not know how much we do, 404 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: said one anonymous engineer, which two other Twitter employees also confirmed. 405 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 1: Very Wise further profiled efforts by Twitter executives to censor 406 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 1: accounts like libs of TikTok, which brightbart News is going 407 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: to cover more extensively as the investigation unfolds. Recently, former 408 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: Twitter safety executive Joel Roth, who quit after billionaire Elon 409 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: Musk acquire The County, defended the platform's decision to censor 410 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: Christian satire site The Babylon Be for calling transgendered.

I want to get something else that we've 432 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 1: been talking about, and that is what's going to happen 433 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: in washing In DC with Joe Biden, James Biden, Hunter Biden, 434 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:40,679 Speaker 1: Jim Jordan, and James Coomer both are going to start 435 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 1: major investigations when Republicans take back the House. Part of 436 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: their goal is to just do what should have been 437 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,199 Speaker 1: done before. They also know that Democrats are not going 438 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 1: to focus on this. They never would and they're gonna 439 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: have an uphill battle, but they're not going to back 440 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 1: down from this. I want you to listen to what 441 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: they had to say to handity it about how their 442 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: dueling investigations are going to work and what their goal 443 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 1: is overall, on how they're going to have success or 444 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 1: even victory if you want to call it that. Take 445 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: a listen. Now that we know the FBI had this 446 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: laptop for eleven months, there's low hanging fruit crimes, but 447 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: that's not the big one. You said when you made 448 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 1: your announcement about your investigation. This is an investigation into 449 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 1: the President of the United States. That laptop implicates Joe Biden. 450 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: We have photographs that proved that he was with Hunter 451 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,400 Speaker 1: and his foreign business associates. We know that he went 452 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: and attended meetings with farign business associates and Hunter. We 453 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: know Hunter bitches and moans and groans and complaints. He's 454 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: paying Dad or Pops all this money. So the question 455 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: here is is this the biggest influence pedaling scandal Congress 456 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: is investigating. Absolutely, There's nothing like it in the history 457 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: of America. We've never had a family that has influenced 458 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: pedal to this degree. And if you look at the 459 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: whole purpose of what we're talking about today, it's because 460 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: this investigation of the Biden family influence pedaling. The evidence 461 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: is based a lot in part with what the documents 462 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 1: are and the data is on the laptop. So, Sean, 463 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: I'm breaking on your show tonight based on the internal 464 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:29,880 Speaker 1: documents that Elon Musk released this weekend. The Oversight Committee 465 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 1: will be sending a letter tomorrow morning to the three 466 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: Twitter employees Missus, Gaddy, Roth, and Baker that were implicated 467 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: in the cover up of the laptop story, three letters 468 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: requesting their presence in front of the Oversight Committee in January. 469 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: But wasn't the FBI putting pressure on big tech companies? Oh, 470 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: you're gonna try glad sir, right, And what we're going 471 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: to ask them is who was influencing your decision by 472 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: Did you do this unilaterally or did you do this 473 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: based on what you were told from the Biden campaign, 474 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: from the Democrat National Committee, or even worse, and as 475 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: I suspect, from the FBI. This is going to be 476 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: an opportunity for the American people to hear directly from 477 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: the three Twitter employees implicated in the data release that 478 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: Elon Musk just dubbed this weekend. So they're going to 479 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: have a few weeks to get their stories start, and 480 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: they're going to be able to come under oath in 481 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 1: front of the House Oversight Committee and tell the American 482 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: people what really happened and why why were they so 483 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 1: intent on suppressing this story? And Jim Jordan as the 484 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: head of Judiciary, your investigation will be working in tandem 485 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: with Congressman Comer, because you're looking into whether or not, 486 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: based on whistleblower testimony, among other things, whether or not 487 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: our FBI has been politicized and our Department of Justice weaponized. 488 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: What is your take on the fact that they will 489 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: had weekly meetings warning the these big tech companies all 490 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: be on the lookout. They're probably going to give you 491 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: a hack material. Some of it may be about Hunter Biden. 492 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: Were they trying to prevent big tech from letting that 493 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: story go out? Why didn't they do anything for the 494 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: eleven months that they had the laptop themselves, they could 495 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: have been investigating all of this. So, Sean, the answer 496 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: to your question who at the FBI was responsible for 497 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: suppressing this story and going and briefing these big tech 498 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: platforms the answer to Clay's trust and who is that 499 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: key person? We know where to start, Timothy T. Bolt. 500 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: That's where you start because a whistle blower FBI agent 501 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: as a whistle blower went the Senator Grassley and said, 502 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: this is the guy who was pushing to suppress the 503 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's story. His name also came up with a 504 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: different whistle blower who came to us. So the place 505 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 1: you started with Timothy T. Bolt to get the answers. 506 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: But here's the key fact. The guy that Jim Baker 507 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: that mister Coomber just mentioned. That's the key because Jim 508 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: Baker was the chief counsel at the FBI back when 509 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: they spied on President Trump's campaign and then Jim Baker, 510 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: Shazam goes to Twitter and is their general counsel and 511 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: is the one who did the email saying, well, it's 512 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: reasonable to assume that this is a hacking operation and 513 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 1: therefore we can throttle back the story about the Hunter 514 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: Biden laptop. So that's where you start, right Jim Baker 515 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: and Timothy T. Bolt, and we have been trying to 516 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: get mister t Bolt in for a deposition. We will 517 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: make sure that happens in January. Jamie's already working on 518 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: mister Baker. That's how you get to the bottom of this, 519 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: and the way you stop it is to get the 520 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: facts everything out there, like Elon Musk is started, but 521 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: we're going to continue. You get the facts out there. 522 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: That's the first step into making sure this kind of 523 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: Bolognian garbage never happens again. Jim Jordan is Elon Musk 524 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: right when he says that when you shut down dissenting voices, 525 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: that is by very definition election interference. You agree that 526 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: the media was complicent in lying to the American public 527 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: and acting as the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party. 528 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: And do you believe that the FBI is behind all 529 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 1: that pressure to prevent big Tech from publishing that story 530 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: to help Joe Biden get elected. Yeah, it's sure looks 531 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 1: because remember the fifty one former Intel officials send a 532 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 1: letter says this has all the classic gearmarks of a 533 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: Russian disinformation operation. The real disinformation operation was the one 534 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 1: the FBI and Big Tech we're running on the American people, 535 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 1: and Jim Baker was at the heart of it. So 536 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 1: let's get him in here to talk to Jamie and 537 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: his team, and then we'll get Timothy T. Bolt into 538 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: the Judiciary Committee to talk to him and get to 539 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: the bottom of it. As I said, so we get 540 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: the facts to the American people. Jim Colemo will give 541 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: you the last for tonight. Well, remember, Sean, the whole 542 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: purpose of this investigation, it's to determine whether or not 543 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: this White House has compromised when you look at all 544 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: the bad policies coming out of this White House, especially 545 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 1: with respect to things like energy policy, and the fact 546 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: that Biden's trying to embrace this GREENU deal. Who wants 547 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: the Green U deal more than anyone other than a 548 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,959 Speaker 1: few liberals in California China. They want to put us 549 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: at a competitive disadvantage. So a lot of the bad 550 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: decisions this administration's making, maybe because they're compromised because of 551 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 1: the millions of dollars that they received through influenced peddling 552 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: from our adversaries in China, Russia and the Middle East. 553 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: That's why we're investigating the Biden family, and that's why 554 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna kick into high gears, have subpoena power and 555 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: the gavel. And you are investigating the President of the 556 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 1: United States for influenced peddalings. That correct, absolutely, that is 557 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: the investigation, Yes, sir, influenced peddling. Did you hear that? 558 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: Influence pedaling? That is what's being investigated by James Coomer. 559 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: These will be two different investigations doing investigations. Are they 560 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: important to this country? You better believe it. Now Democrats 561 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: are going to have to figure out what they're gonna 562 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: do here, and the media is trying to figure it out. Two, 563 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: do you want to get rid of Joe Biden? Is 564 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: he the useful idiot that's no longer useful? Many Democrats 565 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: are afraid because of the mid terms he is going 566 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 1: to run for reelection because everybole to hold the Senate, 567 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 1: especially now by increasing their majority in the Senate, which 568 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: is just insane with how bad the economy us. Also, 569 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 1: as I said earlier, think there's no doubt about it. 570 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: We have to have a conversation about candidate quality, all right.
