View highlights from the interview below.
On The FBI Covering Up Efforts By Iran To Hijack President Trump’s Presidential Campaign:
“The FBI is not providing answers to Congress. So we had our last election interference briefing at the end of September, and I’ve been in enough hearings. I’m one of the most senior members on the Intelligence Committee, one of the few remaining members that was there during the Russia hoax, the impeachment sham under Adam Schiff. And I know when the FBI clams up that typically they’re hiding information from Congress that they are responsible to give to us. I think it’s important for the American people to know the answers to very direct questions, and the FBI could reveal this without providing any classified information or revealing sources and methods. And that was this: When did they know about the Iranian hack into the Trump Campaign at the highest levels? And when did they inform the Biden Campaign versus the Trump Campaign? My hunch and my suspicion, since they clammed up in that hearing, is that the Biden Campaign was notified prior to the Trump Campaign. If that is the case, then this is yet another example of the FBI tipping the scales. They have a record of doing so in 2016 and in 2020, but the fact that they won’t answer the questions is so revealing to me. Here you have an adversary like Iran targeting the leading candidate for President of the United States, not only with the hack but we now know publicly the Department of Justice released information about Iranian assassination attempts against President Trump. When we talk about the rot in our federal agencies and the weaponization of our law enforcement agencies, this is the epitome of it at the FBI.”
On The Blatant Politicization Of The FBI To Influence American Elections:
“It became politicized when you had, at the highest levels, this anti-Trump obsession, and that goes back to Jim Comey and so many of the other disgraced former officials. And you remember, Maria, again, I was on the impeachment defense team for President Trump back in 2017. In one of the first hearings, this was before impeachment, I asked Jim Comey: Why did you not notify Congress for the opening of the Crossfire Hurricane counterintelligence investigation when that is the protocol and requirement for any counterintelligence investigation for candidates for Congress? He froze up in that committee hearing, and that started the unraveling of the Russia hoax which is such a black mark on the FBI and was illegal, frankly, from my perspective. So again, when President Trump talks about draining the swamp, this is it. The swamp needs to be drained. We need to return to the mission and Congress is going to focus on holding the FBI accountable, which is why it was important, I believe, to make sure the American people know about this, which is why I published the The Wall Street Journal editorial today.”
On Joe Biden & Kamala Harris’ Refusal To Hold Iran Accountable For Assassination Attempt Against President Trump:
“That is something that the Democrats and Kamala Harris have in common with Iran. At every opportunity Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have sought to appease Iran, and this is yet the latest example. Nothing gets more serious than an assassination attempt against the President of the United States. Iran’s focus on doing that, that has been released by the Department of Justice. And the fact that there is no action taken by the Biden-Kamala Harris Administration, it is a disgrace. And the American people, they’ve woken up to this. They see the politicization and weaponization in these federal agencies. And it needs to stop. They’re accountable to Congress. They are accountable to elected officials, not the other way around. So I will continue demanding answers, and the FBI knows that. That’s why, you know, I will continue digging on this issue because the American people deserve the truth and nothing but the truth.”
On Communist China’s Election Interference Attempts:
“That's another important question. So the news regarding the China hack: that came out after the briefing at the end of September, so I will of course follow up on that issue because they’re one in the same in the sense that the FBI is not providing the information to the Intelligence Committee. The FBI needs to ensure that there is no politicization. We know there is. And I want to know when the Biden Administration and Kamala Harris Administration and the Kamala Harris Campaign were made aware of that hack versus the Trump Campaign. Again, my hunch is that the FBI once again is tipping the scales like they did in 2020, 2016. But we’re focused on earning this election so that we can clean out this weaponization across our federal government.”
On Kamala Harris’ Failed Foreign Policy Emboldening Iran:
“They have appeased Iran at every opportunity. You and I both know that, Maria. It is a disgrace. This is a weak and feckless Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. And there is a reason why Iran wants Kamala Harris to win, and that’s because she will be a weak Commander-in-chief. She will weaken our national security, and she will turn her back on Israel as she has done not only this past year but throughout her time in elected office.”
On Kamala Harris Turning Her Back On Our Most Precious Ally Israel:
“Look at every opportunity, Kamala Harris has turned her back on Israel. They have tried to withhold U.S. military aid. She has failed to condemn the antisemitism skyrocketing in our college campuses and on our streets in this country. We need moral, strong leadership, and that only comes from President Trump.”
