A top FBI official who GOP lawmakers say 60 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: smothered that probe of hunter Biden's damning laptop before the 61 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: twenty twenty election was forced. We're being told to resign 62 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: last week and then escorted from the headquarters. According to 63 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: this new report, Timothy Tebow, an assistant Special Agent in 64 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: charge who previously posted anti Trump messages on social media, 65 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: they say, was seen leaving the building Friday and escorted 66 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: from the building. Quote mister Tebo blatant partisan undermine the 67 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: work and the reputation of the FBI that coming from 68 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: Center Chuck Grassley. Now, in a moment, we're gonna be 69 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: joined by US Center Marsha Blackburn, who just got back 70 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: from a very important trip, by the way, and we 71 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: will talk to her about this other issue as well 72 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: to an area that's being threatened by China Taiwan. Now, 73 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: we're also going to talk to her about the FBI 74 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: and as she lost confidence in the FBI, and what 75 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: the Senate can do and Republicans can do to hold 76 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: now people accountable for actions just like this mister Tebo 77 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: at the FBI, who's now out of his job. Now, 78 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: let me go back to also what Senator Grassley had 79 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: to say. He said, quote this type of bias in 80 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: high profile investigations casts a major shadow over all of 81 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,799 Speaker 1: the Bureau's work that this man was involved in. Now, 82 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: how important was mister Tebo at the FBI when we 83 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: now know that his work range from opening an investigation 84 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: into Trump based on liberal news articles to shutting down 85 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: investigations that were actively investigating Hunter Biden. Now you've got 86 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: to understand the difference here. Okay, the Hunter Biden information 87 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: and investigation was actually based that he shut down on 88 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: verified information, the senator says, and points out the investigations 89 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: that he opened into Donald Trump was solely based on 90 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: liberal news articles. So you have actual intelligence, verified intelligence, 91 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 1: and a Hunter Biden and you shut it down. But 92 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 1: news articles come out on Donald Trump and you just 93 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: randomly open up investigations. Are you kidding me? Miranda Divine, 94 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: who has been at the forefront of the Hunter Biden investigation, 95 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: she put it out this way, saying, FBI DC agent 96 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 1: Timothy Tebow, who buried the laptop from Hell leaves the 97 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: FBI accused also a purging unvaxed staff he suspected of 98 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: quote Trump is m He also purged anyone who attended 99 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: the January sixth Trump rally and this is why Democrats 100 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: love January, the sists and vax mandates. They assist in 101 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: the purge of people they can't stand. Now she put 102 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 1: this out there. This tells you how toxic this individual 103 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: actually is. Now, if you look at the headline from 104 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: the Washington Times, it reads this way, top agent exits 105 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: the FBI, and it charges a political bias undermining Hunter 106 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: Biden probe. A senior FBI official in the bureaus Washington 107 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: d C. Field Office has abruptly resigned after coming under 108 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: congressional scrutiny for suspected political bias and the handling of 109 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: the investigation of Hunter Biden and his laptop. The Washington 110 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: Times has learned that Timothy Tebow, an assistant special assistant 111 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: special agent I should say in charge, was forced to 112 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: leave his posts. The information came from two former FBI 113 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: officials familiar with the situation. The FBI is now confirming 114 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: he's out. Mister Tibau was seen exiting the bureau's elevator 115 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: on Friday. He was escorted by two or three headquarters 116 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: looking headquarters looking types quote unquote. According to the eyewitness 117 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: accounts provided to one of the former officials, it's not 118 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: clear whether this former FBI agent aft on his own 119 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: accord or was forced out of the bureau. What we 120 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: do know is this man had a ton of power. 121 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: He was a twenty five year FBI veteran. He was 122 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: on leave for at least a month over revelations about 123 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: his political statements that he made while leading the public 124 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: corruption unit. How bias was this an individual, It's a 125 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: great question. Well, we know that he said so many 126 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: disparaging things on social media that were tied to him 127 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: that immediately they realized that they had to at least 128 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: put him on leave after he was named by senators 129 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 1: outing the corruption at the FBI. Republican lawmakers have been 130 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: scrutinizing the man for making direct anti Trump statements in 131 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 1: social media post back in twenty twenty at the same 132 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: time he was helping lead the FBI's probe of Hunter 133 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: Biden and his father and his brother. Let all this 134 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: just sink in. Think about how they weren't even hiding 135 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: their bias of the FBI. He's posting it out there, 136 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: He's putting it out there. This is all there, which 137 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: goes back to why Sendor Johnson and Sendor Grassley are 138 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: demanding that Facebook now turn over any communications it had 139 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,559 Speaker 1: with the FBI of the Justice Department related to the 140 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden laptop story before the twenty twenty presidential election. 141 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: They've come out because we're seeing even more of this corruption. 142 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: Were these two Republican Senators Johnson and Grassley now demanding 143 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: Facebook hand over all communications with the FBI, the Justice Department, 144 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: and any other government bureaucrats relating to the first son, 145 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, his laptop, his business dealings, and Russian disinformation. 146 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: This all because of the news that Mark Zuckerber said 147 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: the FBI I came to him and told them to 148 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: suppress the Hunter Biden's story.

Basically, the background here is the FBI, 173 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: I think came to us. This is Zuckerberg's own words, 174 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: some folks on our team and was like, hey, just 175 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: so you know, you should be high alert. We thought 176 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the twenty 177 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: sixteen election. We have it unnoticed that basically there's about 178 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: to be some kind of dump that's similar to that. 179 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: So the FBI said, you got to be vigilant Facebook. Now, 180 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: the FPI knew that the Hunter Biden laptop story was 181 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 1: real and authentic when they went to Facebook to warn 182 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: them that there was going to be a dump. They 183 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: knew that they were protecting Joe Biden. They wanted Trump 184 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: out at all costs, and this is how they were 185 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: going to do it by framing him, acting like any 186 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: information that was negative towards the Biden's was Russian disinformation. Now, 187 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: Senator Johnson and Grassley said Zuckerberg's revelation that Facebook acted 188 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: on this took steps to censor information about Hunter Biden 189 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 1: on its plants platform based on the FBI's guidance quote 190 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: raises even more questions about the FBI's actions regarding Hunter 191 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:04,599 Speaker 1: Biden's laptop. As you may know, whistleblowers have recently alleged 192 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: to Sender Grassley that in August twenty twenty, FBI officials 193 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: initiated a scheme to downplay derogatory information on Hunter Biden 194 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: for the purpose of shutting down investigative activity relating to 195 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: his potential criminal exposure by labeling it disinformation. This exactly 196 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: why now we know that this FBI agent has either 197 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: been forced out or resigned seeing the writing on the wall, 198 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,199 Speaker 1: and was escorted from the FBI's office on Friday. Now. 199 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: Whistle blowers have also alleged to Senator Johnson that local 200 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: FBI leadership instructed its employees not to look at the 201 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden laptop story immediately after the FBI had obtained it, 202 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: which is also apparently one of the reasons why this 203 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: FBI individual has resigned on Friday. In a second letter 204 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: that came out Tuesday morning to Attorney General Merrick Garland 205 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: and the FBI Director Christopher Ray, the Republicans also demanded 206 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: records relating to the DOJ and the FBI's contact with Facebook, Twitter, 207 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: and other social media companies relating to the Biden family, 208 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:24,479 Speaker 1: Hunters laptop, and Russian disinformation. They complain that the FBI's 209 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: consistent failure to answer in congressional inquiries is no longer 210 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: going to be acceptable and this is why, by the way, 211 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: the midterm elections are so important. Quote the FBI's consistent 212 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: effort to falsely paint information relating to Biden's family misconduct 213 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: as Russian disinformation continues to draw serious concerns. In August 214 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty, the FBI provided an unnecessary and unsolicit 215 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: briefing that was used by our Democratic colleagues to falsely 216 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: paint our Biden investigation as advancing Russian disinformation. Quote. Our 217 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: investigation was based on Obama Biden administration records and included 218 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: transcribed interviews of witnesses who were once employees of that administration. 219 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: The FBI's ill conceived actions not only interfered in our 220 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: congressional investigation by frustrating and obstructing our ability to advance 221 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: the matter under review, It also clearly interfered in the 222 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: twenty twenty elections. Now let me just go back to 223 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:43,359 Speaker 1: that story, because the connecting dots here is extremely important, 224 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: all right. I want you to remember that Grassley and 225 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: Johnson got an unsolicited phone call from the FBI back 226 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty in August. Okay, they were then briefed 227 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: by the FBI unsolicited briefing about this Russian disinformation with 228 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: a Hunter Biden story. Then the FBI leaked to the 229 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: media that the two senators were basically being duped by 230 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: Russian disinformation so they could undermine their investigations. This is 231 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: this is how Banana Republic the FBI has become. Now 232 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: these senators are like, hey, we knew something was wrong, right, Like, 233 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: we knew that something was significantly wrong when the FBI 234 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: came to us unsolicited and was like, hey, guys, your 235 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: investigation Hunter Biden is nothing but Russian propagandas so don't 236 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: fall for it. And then they didn't believe the FBI, 237 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: which we now know with good reason. They kept moving forward. 238 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: So the FBI then leaked to the press that these 239 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: senators were basically stupid and being duped and played by 240 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:06,880 Speaker 1: the Russians, and the media ran with it. That's how 241 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 1: they were able to undermine Grassley and Johnson. In addition, 242 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: they go on to say in their letter today, whistle 243 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: blowers have recently alleged to Senator Grassley that in August 244 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty, FBI officials initiate a scheme to downplay 245 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: all derogatory information on Hunter Biden for the purpose of 246 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: shutting down investigative activity relating it to his potential criminal 247 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: exposure by labeling it disinformation. Let me say this and 248 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 1: I say this a lot, and I mean it. Grab 249 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: everything I'm giving you right now, please and share it 250 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 1: with your friends. Grab the podcast and share it because 251 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 1: this is not going to be covered by the mainstream 252 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: media at all. Grass Lee goes on to say this. 253 00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: Seven whistle blowers have also alleged to Senator Jnsen that 254 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 1: local FBI leadership instructed their employees not to look at 255 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: the Hunter Biden laptop immediately after the FBI obtained it. 256 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 1: The American people, they go on to say, deserve to 257 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:25,880 Speaker 1: know whether the FBI deliberately use Facebook and other social 258 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 1: media companies as part of their alleged plan to discredit 259 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 1: information about Hunter Biden. The centers are now also demanding 260 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: the names of the DOJ and FBI officials who unsolicited, 261 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:51,479 Speaker 1: unsolicited contacted social media companies regarding the Russian disinformation leading 262 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: up to the election, as well as the names of 263 00:18:55,040 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: Facebook officials that were contacted. Now you combine this with 264 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: this FBI agent who's now been walked out of the building, 265 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: and the only reason why he's been walked out of 266 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 1: the building is because Grassley and Johnson actually had the 267 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: cajones to release the name of the corrupt FBI agents. 268 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,439 Speaker 1: Why do they do this, because more than a dozen 269 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: people within the FBI came forward and said, we can't 270 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: keep watching this happening. Center, Here's who's screwing you, and 271 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: here's who's line to the American people, and here's who 272 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: has politicized the FBI. Now we also have new accusations 273 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: now that the guy that just left t Bow, who 274 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: just left the FBI in particular quote hid evidence from 275 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 1: the FBI Director Christopher Ray and the Attorney General Merrick 276 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 1: Garland in order to win their approval to open an 277 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 1: investigation of former President Trump. That according to Center Grassley today, 278 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: they say that Agent Tebaut, an assistant Special Agent in 279 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: charge and twenty five year veteran of the Bureau, had 280 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: no other option but to resign. He had been on 281 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: leave for at least a month following allegations of allowing 282 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 1: political bias to completely take over his work. And there's 283 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: no telling, by the way, what other investigations he was 284 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: a part of and other conservatives over the last twenty 285 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: five years that he may have locked up or screwed 286 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: just because of political reasons. Last week, Johnson said that 287 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:39,360 Speaker 1: new whistleblowers came forward telling him that the FBI brass 288 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: had barred agents from investigating the laptop and called on 289 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice Inspector General Horowitz to investigate the 290 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: bureau's handling of Hunter Biden's laptop. That computer, which Biden 291 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: abandoned in Delaware, is believed to have been in the 292 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 1: possession of the FBI since late twenty nineteen, more than 293 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: a year before the election, So they knew it was 294 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: authentic when they lied to social media. Come He's telling 295 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: them that it wasn't and telling them it was Russian disinformation. 296 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: So the FBI and the DOJ, the deep state were 297 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: clearly involved in a massive conspiracy to cover up this 298 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: laptop say that it's Russian disinformation to secure the election 299 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: for Joe Biden. We also now have we're being told photos, videos, emails, 300 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: and text messages which were also ignored by the FBI 301 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: on that laptop. The paint the president's son is a 302 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: drug addicted degenerate. That raised questions about President Joe Biden's 303 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: own role in his son's corrupt dealings. And if you 304 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: think the American people are stupid, they're not. There's a 305 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: new poll out suggested seventy nine percent of Americans believe 306 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: that Trump likely would have won reelection if voters had 307 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: known about the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop and that 308 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: it was quote authentic, instead of being labeled by the 309 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 1: media and the FBI as Russian disinformation. Seventy nine percent 310 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 1: of Americans believe Trump would have won the election had 311 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 1: they just said, yeah, it's authentic, and the FBI knew 312 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: and had a copy of this laptop since twenty nineteen, 313 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 1: and they knew that if they admitted that it was real, 314 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: that Joe Biden's chance of the White House were basically done. Now, 315 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: before I get into more of this story, I want 316 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: to say thank you and tell you about our good 317 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: friends at Legacy Precious Medals.

FBI Director Christopher 343 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 1: Wray told lawmakers earlier this month that he could not 344 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: comment on what, if anything, quote the Bureau is doing 345 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: regarding the laptop, but he said he found reports that 346 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: the Bureau refused to pursue a laptop investigation to have 347 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: the election is quote deeply troubling. And the laptop revelations 348 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,360 Speaker 1: also come as a bureau is dealing with a fallout 349 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: from the raid on Trump's home of Marlago earlier this month. 350 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: Because what you're seeing is is the FBI has been 351 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: weaponized to attack Donald Trump and has been used to 352 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: protect Joe Biden. That's what the Washington Times is clearly 353 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,919 Speaker 1: saying here. When you have a senior FBI official in 354 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: the bureau's Washington Field office that it has to abruptly 355 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: resign after coming under congressional scrutiny for his political bias 356 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: and handling and shutting down with the Hunter Biden laptop 357 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 1: while also putting up online vicious attacks of Donald Trump. 358 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: This tells you everything you need to know about how 359 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 1: broken the FBI is. We also know that Tebow that 360 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,199 Speaker 1: hid evidence. We're being told from the FBI director and 361 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: the Attorney General in order to win their approval to 362 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 1: open an investigation to Donald Trump. This according to whistleblowers 363 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: who have gone to Sender Grassley. Now, I've said this before, 364 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: and I'll say it again here, this is a suits 365 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: not a boots problem at the FBI. The suits at 366 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 1: the FBI are the problem. The top people at the 367 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: FBI are the problem. You know, I don't even think 368 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: that Zuckerberg understood what he was saying and how significant 369 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: it was when he went on the podcast with Joe Rogan. 370 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 1: But now these centators are saying handed over, and this 371 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 1: is I don't think there's any way can get around 372 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 1: handing over the information that the GOP centers are demanding. 373 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 1: Right Facebook, we want to know what your communications have 374 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: been with the FBI over the Hunter Biden's story. I 375 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 1: don't think they can get out of telling these US 376 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,159 Speaker 1: senators exactly who was warning them and what they were 377 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: being warned about. And if you're Christopher Ray right now, 378 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: I don't think you can get away with looking the 379 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 1: other way or acting like this didn't happen under your 380 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: watch at the FBI, which is partially the reason why 381 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 1: this FBI agent has been walked out of the building. 382 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 1: Senator Grassley and Johnson demanding that Zuckerberg and his Facebook 383 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,400 Speaker 1: buddies hand over all communications they had with the FBI 384 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: regarding Hunter Biden may just be the tip of the Iceberg, 385 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: because we're now going to get names, and these names 386 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: are going to be very clear to the FBI and 387 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: to the to America. Who was there within the FBI 388 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: trying to frame Donald Trump and who was there trying 389 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: to hide information and protect Joe Biden. I want to 390 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 1: bring in US Senator Marshap Blackburn to talk about, by 391 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: the way, two very important issues. She just got back 392 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 1: from a trip to Taiwan, which is extremely important as 393 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,719 Speaker 1: Taiwan is really having to look down the you know, 394 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,679 Speaker 1: the barrel of the gun coming from China. And we're 395 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: going to talk about that in just a moment. But first, Senator, 396 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 1: I want to ask you about this FBI rate at 397 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 1: Marlago and some of this information that I just mentioned. 398 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: How concerned under you with the FBI right now and 399 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: the lack of trust the public has for the FBI, 400 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 1: and really do you trust the FBI anymore knowing now 401 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: what we're seeing. The one answer that you've done is 402 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: it basically they're having a disagreement over how to deal 403 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: with the documents, and that this was not done to 404 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 1: Hilary Clinton, it was not done to Hunter Biden. And 405 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 1: you know, and let me say this, then there are 406 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: a lot of good people that work with the FBI. 407 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: I appreciate them. I appreciate meetings with them. I appreciate 408 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: the work to say do to keep this country safe 409 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: and to deal with adverse entities. So what I do 410 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: not appreciate is the fact that there has been a 411 00:28:55,080 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: politicizing of the agency. And I think this political cabal 412 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: has got to be removed from the FBI so that 413 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: people can return to trusting the works they do. And 414 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: I'm very grateful for the whistle blowers that have come 415 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 1: out of that agency with information for Senate Senator gradually 416 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: and those of us at the Senate Judiciary Committee. Now, 417 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: when you look specifically at what you're inspired at Marlago 418 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: and you look at that AFFI David, you have to say, 419 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: had this not have been handled with another meeting, could 420 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: you not have given them a list of what you 421 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: think you're meeting your meeting? Why did the information go 422 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: to the FBI to be sorted? It didn't go to 423 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: a special master, It did not go to the archives. 424 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: So you need to put the proper context around this 425 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: or provide some explanation, because it takes never ever been 426 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: done to a president, a former president of the United States, 427 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: and I, you know, there's just there was enough the 428 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: explanation in the affidavit. No, there wasn't. There's also an 429 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: speculation now I think more than ever, that the FBI 430 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: raid was probably a search for Russia Gate documents at Marlago. 431 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: If that's what they were searching for, that would go 432 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: against what they said they need the search warrant for, 433 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: which was in general classified documents. If that is the case, 434 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: is there any way that you guys in the Senate 435 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: can hold them accountable for this abuse of power? I 436 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: can assure you is that we will have some substantive 437 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: review this. I think you when I talked about a 438 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: month ago when Christopher Ray was coming before us for 439 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: his hearing, and I asked him specifically if he was 440 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: willing to admit, ready to admit that the Russia Gate 441 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: was a hoax, and he fumbled the questions. He said, well, 442 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: I disagree, what's the term? Not the premise, mind you, 443 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: he disagreed with the term. He wanted to quibble over 444 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: a word and not answer the question. So what we 445 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 1: have seen come from all of these documents or from 446 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: the search and what they're saying they're looking for It 447 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: raises so many questions as to what did they really 448 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 1: go in. Therefore, why would they put into APPI David 449 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: all documents from twenty seventeen to twenty twenty one. That's everything. Yeah, 450 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: that's everything. And of course now you have the items 451 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: that were covered by attorney client privilege and the issues 452 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: that have come from that. And though they may say, well, 453 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: you know we've reviewed those, there are things that we're 454 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 1: ready to give back, and their eyes have been on it. 455 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,479 Speaker 1: How do you know they didn't make copies of it 456 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 1: while they had it in their possession. Why did they 457 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: look at it in the first place. Yeah, it's it's 458 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: it's it's It seems like they're just doing everything they 459 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: can to make sure that Donald Trump is ineligible to 460 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: run for present and they want to make sure, no 461 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: matter what, that the people's vote is no longer counted, 462 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: that they can pick and choose who even our candidates 463 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: will be. And that scares the hell out of me, 464 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: and I know it does you as well. Oh. Absolutely, 465 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: they are trying to do that so that they can 466 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 1: go ahead and manipulate that entire process. They tried it 467 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, and they thought that they had an 468 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: insurance policy. Their insurance policy did not work. We find 469 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: out from Poland that had people known about the hunter 470 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: Biden's laptop, they would have made it differently in twenty twenty. 471 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: So these guys are like, far be it from them. 472 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: So let's just go in here and let's make certain 473 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: that we're going to find something. Let's look in everything 474 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: and see if there might be something that we can 475 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 1: glean information from. It should frighten every single one of us. 476 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: Senor You've just returned from Taiwan on a as a 477 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. This was a 478 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 1: very important trip to engage senior leaders from Taiwan talk 479 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: about our relationship with them amid these major tensions with 480 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 1: China and we see more and more aggression from China. 481 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 1: What did you learn in this trip and what is 482 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 1: their mindset right now? Their level of concern in Taiwan 483 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: that this is you know, the China could actually act 484 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: because they see that in many ways, the Biden administrations 485 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,720 Speaker 1: we can not going to maybe help them or protect them. 486 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,720 Speaker 1: You're right, it is something that does cause us concern, 487 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:36,879 Speaker 1: not only for Taiwan but all of these Pacific island nations. 488 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 1: China is intent on global domination by the time we 489 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:46,399 Speaker 1: get to twenty fifty. Now they feel like what they 490 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: have to do is go in and take control of 491 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 1: all these islands in the South China, see all of 492 00:34:56,080 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 1: the Indo Pacific island nation and push themselves forward as 493 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 1: the dominant and only controlling entity in that part of 494 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 1: the world. And what you're seeing is China teaming up 495 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:17,320 Speaker 1: with what I call the other players in the Axis 496 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: of Evil, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, and they are 497 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:27,760 Speaker 1: pushing this authoritarianism and China is I'm telling you, they're 498 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 1: making They're making hay while they think they've got a 499 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 1: weak president of the United States, and they continue to 500 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 1: push not only in against Taiwan, but also you're seeing 501 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:48,800 Speaker 1: it in South America, in the Horn of Africa, because 502 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 1: they feel like this is the time for them, the 503 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:59,760 Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party, to establish themselves as the globe's superpower. 504 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,239 Speaker 1: What is the mentality towards our foreign policy right now? 505 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 1: I mean, you look at we now know that we 506 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,880 Speaker 1: left more than eight hundred Americans in Afghanistan when we 507 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 1: left there. I truly believe that was the moment that 508 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 1: leaders in China and leaders in Russia said, Okay, we 509 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: can now really flex our muscles because America won't even 510 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,920 Speaker 1: go sixty feet or sixty yards under the Biden administration 511 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 1: to get their own citizens, leaving them at the hands 512 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: of the Taliban. And that was when everything changed in 513 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 1: this calculus. When you talk to the leaders in Taiwan, 514 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 1: obviously I'm sure they're happy to talk to you know, 515 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,719 Speaker 1: centers like yourself, but they've got to have real concerns 516 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,719 Speaker 1: over the Biden administration because ultimately they're the ones are 517 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,759 Speaker 1: in charge of much of what's going to happen in 518 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 1: the doj etc. Well, you're right about that. They are concerned. 519 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: And when you look at Taiwan, they exercised their independence. 520 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:59,000 Speaker 1: They have a founding father, they have a constitution, they 521 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,919 Speaker 1: have a president, they have a military. But China continues 522 00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 1: to say that Taiwan is be hosen to them, that 523 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,839 Speaker 1: Taiwan is a part of China, and they continue to 524 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 1: push this one China policy and try to really come 525 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:29,240 Speaker 1: at come at the Taiwan leadership and the Chinese Communist 526 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:33,799 Speaker 1: Party coming at the Taiwan leadership and saying no, you 527 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 1: cannot exercise your independence. Now, this is why I think 528 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 1: it is so important that we honor the fact that 529 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:51,799 Speaker 1: Taiwan has exercised their independence, that they have autonomy and sovereignty. 530 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 1: And you know, we do this for the old Eastern 531 00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 1: Block Soviet You the nations, the nations that have come 532 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 1: out of that, and whether it's Ukraine or Estonia or 533 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:11,400 Speaker 1: Lithuania or any number of those those countries that have 534 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:17,880 Speaker 1: exercise it, they're independence and so Taiwan sees a difference 535 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,719 Speaker 1: in how we refer to them. Now at large, with 536 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:27,080 Speaker 1: a Biden foreign policy, what you have is people saying, oh, 537 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 1: my goodness, where are we do our allies and know 538 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 1: that they're our ally do our enemies understand that they 539 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 1: are an adversary, that they are not a friend. And 540 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 1: because our policy is fluctuating and kind of in that 541 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:48,799 Speaker 1: gray zone, And as you so appropriately said, you have 542 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:57,840 Speaker 1: what transpired at the outset of Afghanistan and this administration 543 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:03,560 Speaker 1: not making that move to extract American citizens from that, 544 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 1: then you see weakness and a muddling in the response 545 00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 1: that is at our southern border, a lack of comprehensive 546 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:18,240 Speaker 1: policy dealing with the Chinese Communist Party, whether you're dealing 547 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: with great power competition in the military, or you're dealing 548 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 1: with economic interest. I want to ask you about another 549 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 1: trip that just took place, and some thought it was 550 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,680 Speaker 1: more of a legacy trip, a self serving trip. When 551 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 1: you had the Speaker of the House, saintcy Pelosi, head 552 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 1: over there, there was obviously a lot of chatter about 553 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,880 Speaker 1: you better not land, you better not go. What was 554 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: the purpose of that in the reaction because a lot 555 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 1: of people thought it was more of like a book 556 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:53,880 Speaker 1: end to her career, not really about helping out Taiwan. Well, 557 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:58,719 Speaker 1: I'm actually very pleased that she went. I think it 558 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:03,800 Speaker 1: was appropriate should go, and I think it was helpful 559 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,720 Speaker 1: that she went. Now, maybe it was a bookend trip, 560 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:17,239 Speaker 1: it was not definitive in a policy, but I do 561 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:21,880 Speaker 1: think that the show of support and recognition for Taiwan 562 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,480 Speaker 1: was an important thing for her to do. Glad that 563 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:29,240 Speaker 1: she did it. Now, when it comes to the United States, 564 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 1: we need to honor Taiwan and the fact that they 565 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 1: have stepped forward in exercising their independence, and we need 566 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:45,359 Speaker 1: to recognize them as a separate and independent nation, just 567 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,960 Speaker 1: like we do the other Pacific Island nations, just like 568 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 1: we do those countries that have come out of the 569 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 1: old Eastern Walk. Senator, I appreciate your time as always, 570 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,520 Speaker 1: think you we'll talk again real soon.
