MARIA: WELCOME BACK.
NOW THE TWITTER FILES.
NEW TWITTER OWNER ELON MUSK
EXPOSING FORMER TWITTER
LEADERSHIP AND EMPLOYEES WHO
WERE COLLUDING WITH DEMOCRATS
AND THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN TO ALTER
THE 2020 ELECTION, TWEETING OUT
THIS: THE OBVIOUS REALITY IS
LONGTIME USERS KNOW THAT TWITTER
HAS FAILED IN TRUST AND SAFETY
FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND HAS
INTERFERED IN ELECTIONS.
NOW, IN THE DATA DUMP OVER THE
WEEKEND, MUSK REVEALED DETAIL
THES ON HOW BY 2020 REQUESTS
FROM CONNECTED POLITICAL
OPERATIVES TO DELETE BETWEENS
WERE ROUTINE -- TWEETS WERE
ROUTINE.
ONE EXECUTIVE WOULD WRITE, MORE
TO REVIEW FROM THE BIDEN TEAM.
THEN THE REPLY WOULD COME BACK,
HANDLED.
IN CENSORING THE DETAILS OF
INFLUENCE PEDDLING AND BUSINESS
DEALS WITH CHINESE COMMERCIALS
TIED TO THE COMMUNIST PARTY,
AMONG OHS. -- OTHERS.
THAT HAPPENED JUST WEEKS BEFORE
ELECTION 2020.
AS JOURNALIST MATT TAIBBI
TWEETED OVER THE WEEKEND,
TWITTER TOOK EXTRAORDINARY STEPS
TO SUPPRESS THE STORY, POSTING
WARNINGS THAT IT MAY BE,
QUOTE-UNQUOTE, UNSAFE.
THEY EVEN BLOCKED SOY SOY YA --
VIA DIRECT MESSAGE.
JOINING ME RIGHT NOW IS THE MAN
CHARGED WITH INVESTIGATING,
HOUSE SIGHT SIGHT COMMITTEE
RANKING MEMBER, SOON TO BE
CHAIRMAN, CONGRESSMAN JAMES
COMER.
CONGRESSMAN, THANKS VERY MUCH
FOR BEING HERE.
>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
MARIA: YOUR REACTION TO ELON
MUSK.
>> THANK GOODNESS FOR ELON MUSK.
WHAT HE’S SHOWING HERE IS
EVIDENCE THAT THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN
COLLUDED WITH BIG TECH TO
SUPPRESS A STORY THAT WE NOW
KNOW IS 100% TRUE.
THE PROBLEM THE DEMOCRATS SHOULD
HAVE IS WHY WERE THEY SO SCARED
OF THE LAPTOP STORY?
AND THE ANSWER, MARIA, IS
BECAUSE THE LAPTOP PROVES
EVIDENCE THAT NOT ONLY DID JOE
BIDEN LIE TODAY AMERICAN PEOPLE
ABOUT HIS INVOLVEMENT WITH HIS
FAMILY’S INFLUENCE PEDDLING AND
SHADY BUSINESS DEALING, US
ALSO -- IT ALSO PROVES JOE BIDEN
WAS A PART OF THOSE SHADY
BUSINESS DEALS.
MARIA: WELL, THIS IS WHAT I WANT
TO ZERO IN ON, BECAUSE I’VE BEEN
SAYING FOR YEARS NOW THAT THIS
IS A JOE BIDEN STORY, THIS IS
NOT A HUNTER BIDEN STORY.
BECAUSE WHAT THEY WERE SELLING
WAS ACCESS TO JOE WHETHER HE WAS
A SITTING SENATOR OR WHETHER HE
WAS THE VICE PRESIDENT.
HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON,
AND WHAT DID JOE BIDEN DO?
HE WOULD MAKE YOU BELIEVE THAT
HE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT OTHER
THAN PUTTING HUNTER BIDE ON
ON -- BIDEN ON AIR FORCE TWO TO
GO VISIT CHINESE OFFICIALS.
>> IT’S MORE THAN AIR FORCE TWO.
JOE BIDEN MET WITH EVERY PERSON
HE SAID HE NEVER MET.
JOE BIDEN WAS ACTIVELY INVOLVED.
WHAT THE BIDEN FAMILY WAS DOING
WAS SELLING ACCESS TO JOE BIDEN
HAWAII’S THE FAMILY BUSINESS. --
THAT’S THE FAMILY BUSINESS.
THEY DIDN’T MANUFACTURE
ANYTHING, THEY DIDN’T SELL
ANYTHING, HE WERE INFLUENCE
PEDDLING.
SO IT’S VERY CONCERNING WHEN YOU
LOOK AT WHO THEY WERE INFLUENCE
PEDDLING WITH.
THEY WERE INFLUENCE PEDDLING
WITH OUR ADVERSARIES MANY
RUSSIA, UKRAINE AND, MOST
CONCERNING, CHINA.
MARIA: UNBELIEVABLE.
AND THAT’S WHAT I’VE BEEN
FOCUSED ON, THE THREAT OF
COMMUNIST CHINA.
JOE BIDEN WILL NOT EVEN CALL
THEM AN ADVERSARY.
ALL HE CALLS THEM IS A
COMPETITOR.
THIS IS WHY YOU’RE INVESTIGATING
SO AGGRESSIVELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
THIS IS AN INVESTIGATION OF JOE
BIDEN, BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT
THE FAMILY’S INFLUENCE PEDDLING
IS A NATIONAL SECURITY RISK.
AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT.
[INAUDIBLE]
SECURITY AND EVIDENCE ON THE
LAPTOP, ENERGY POLICY IS
NATIONAL SECURITY.
AND THE MOST CONCERNING PART OF
THE BUSINESS DEALS, SO TO SAY,
SO TO SPEAK THAT THE BIDEN
FAMILY WAS INVOLVED IN, WAS
TRYING TO HELP CHINA GET THEIR
FOOT IN THE DOOR IN THE AMERICAN
ENERGY INDUSTRY.
IS SO PART OF WHAT THE DEAL WAS
THAT JOE BIDEN WAS GOING TO BE
INVOLVED IN WAS TRYING TO HELP
CHINA PURCHASE DRILLERS IN THE
NATURAL GAS INDUSTRY.
PEOPLE ARE OUTRAGED OVER CHINA
BUYING FARMLAND IN THE DAKOTAS.
THINK ABOUT THEM BUYING INTO OUR
ENERGY INDUSTRY AT THE HELP OF
THE BIDEN FAMILY.
AND AND THEN YOU LOOK AT ALL
THESE CRAZY POLICIES COMING OUT
OF THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION THAT
ARE AFFECTING EVERY AMERICAN IN
A NEGATIVE WAY, AND YOU THINK
MAYBE HE IS COMPROMISED.
MARIA: YEAH.
I WANT TO GET TO THAT IN A
MOMENT, BECAUSE I KNOW YOU SENT
LETTERS TO THE LEADERSHIP IN
WASHINGTON ABOUT THIS ESG AND
THE PUSH ON THE CLIMATE CHANGE
AGENDA.
BUT LET ME GET YOUR TAKE ON THIS
FBI AGENT, ELVIS CHAN.
HE WAS DEPOSED, AND HE WAS --
NOW HE’S BEING CHARGED OR TALKED
ABOUT AS POTENTIALLY CENSORING
THIS HUNTER BIDEN STORY.
ON HIS BACKGROUND HE SAYS BEING
A FIRST GENERATION BORN IN THE
UNITED STATES, BOTH MY FOLKS
EMIGRATED HERE FROM CHINA.
THEY ALWAYS WANTED SOMETHING
BETTER FOR ME, AND SO THERE WAS
A FEW ACCEPTABLE JOBS FOR A
FIRST GENERATION BORN AMERICAN.
OKAY, HE’S GOT TIES, OBVIOUSLY,
TO CHINA IF HIS FAMILY IS STILL
IN CHINA.
IS THE CCP PAYING THEM VISITS
UNLESS ELVIS CHAN SENDS
INFORMATION BACK TO THE CCP FROM
THE FBI?
THIS IS WHAT MIKE POMPEO’S
TALKING ABOUT AS FAR AS THE CCP
BEING INSIDE THE GATES.
THIS IS AN FBI AGENT.
>> IT’S CERTAINLY CONCERNING,
THE LACK OF BACKGROUND CHECK
THAT THE FBI AND THE BIDEN
FAMILY HAVE DONE WITH RESPECT TO
PEOPLE THAT WE KNOW ARE
AFFILIATED OR HAVE BEEN
AFFILIATED WITH THE CCP.
YOU LOOK AT HUNTER BIDEN’S
PERSONAL SECRETARY, WORKED FOR
THE CCP PRIOR TO WORKING FOR
HUNTER BIDEN.
THIS IS HOW CHINA GETS THEIR
FOOT IN THE DOOR WITH RESPECT TO
THEIR SPYING.
I’M AFRAID CHINA HAS THEIR FOOT
IN THE DOOR IN MANY DIFFERENT
WAYS RIGHT NOW.
MARIA: WHAT ELSE IS GOING TO
COME FROM ELON MUSK, DO YOU
THINK?
I KNOW WE FOCUSED ON A LOT OF
E-MAILS FROM 020.
WHAT ABOUT 2021 AND ’22?
>> MORE TO COME THERE, MARIA.
WE ARE PRETTY CONFIDENT THIS
WASN’T AN ISOLATED CEMENT.
WHAT WE’VE SEEN THUS FAR ARE
E-MAILS FROM THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN
TELLING TWITTER THAT, YOU KNOW,
THAT WASN’T A TRUE STORY, WHICH
THAT WAS A LIE.
WE NOW KNOW -- KNOW NOW IT WAS A
TRUE STORY.
WHAT WE HAVEN’T GOTTEN TO YET IS
’21 AND ’22, DURING THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION.
WE’RE PRETTY CONFIDENT THAT
NUMEROUS OFFICIALS WITHIN OUR
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAVE BEEN
COMMUNICATING ON BEHALF OF THE
BIDEN WHITE HOUSE TO TWITTER AS
TO WHAT THEY CAN CENSOR AND NOT,
AS TO WHO THEY CAN BAN AND WHO
THEY CANNOT.
SO THIS RAISES A WHOLE HOST OF
ETHICAL ISSUES.
THE 2020 STUFF THAT HE RELEASED
WITH THE DEMOCRAT NATIONAL
COMMITTEE ON THE LAPTOP STORY,
THAT RAISES CAMPAIGN FINANCE
VIOLATIONS.
THERE ARE A LOT OF PROBLEMS FOR
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND THE
BIDEN CAMPAIGN RIGHT NOW.
MARIA: YOU BE ABLE TO SUBPOENA
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS?
>> WE’RE GOING TO DO EVERYTHING
WE CAN TO GET TO THE TRUTH.
WE BELIEVE THAT ELON MUSK HAS A
LOT OF EVIDENCE.
PART OF WHAT I SAID WHEN I TOOK
OVER THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE,
WE’RE GOING TO PACE BE -- BASE
EVERYTHING ON ED, UNLIKE ADAM
SCHIFF.
WHEN WE GO DOWN A CERTAIN PATH,
IT’S BECAUSE WE HAVE CREDIBLE
EVIDENCE.
AND WHAT ELON MUSK IS DOING FOR
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IS HE’S TO
PROVIDING EVIDENCE.
MARIA: WHAT ADAM SCHIFF DID IS
SHAMEFUL.
HE SAID THAT THERE WAS COLLUSION
IN PLAIN SIGHT.
THERE ABSOLUTELY WAS NO EVIDENCE
OF IT.
BUT THERE IS EVIDENCE OF
COLLUSION HERE.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
MARIA: TODAY.
LET ME GET YOUR TAKE ON THESE
LETTERS THAT YOU SPENT -- SENT
TO OFFICIALS IN THE
ADMINISTRATION ABOUT ESG AND
ABOUT THE CLIMATE CHANGE POLICY.
YOU’RE GOING TO INVESTIGATE THAT
AS WELL.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
ONE OF THE BIGGEST CRISES OF THE
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS THEIR
ENERGY POLICY.
WHAT WE’VE REQUESTED IS WHAT IS
THEIR ENERGY POLICY SOMEWHAT
DIRECTION A ARE THEY GOING IN
SOMEWHAT DO THEY BASE SELLING
THE STRATEGIC RESERVES ON?
WHAT EXACTLY DID THEY ASK SAUDI
ARABIA WHEN THEY ASKED IS THEM
TO INCREASE OIL PRODUCTION
BEFORE THE ELECTION?
THE DEMOCRATS WOULD CALL THAT A
QUID PRO QUO IN THE PREVIOUS
ADMINISTRATION.
WE HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS WITH
THIS ADMINISTRATION PERTAINING
TO THEIR ENERGY POLICY AND,
HOPEFULLY, WE’LL GET ANSWERS IN
JANUARY WHEN WE GET THE GAVEL
AND SUBPOENA POWER --
MARIA: I’M NOT SURE JENNIFER
GRANHOLM HAS ANY INSIGHT, SHE’S
THE ENERGY SECRETARY.
>> YEAH, THE CABINET SECRETARIES
AREN’T VERY IMPRESSIVE THUS FAR
IN THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF THEIR
ADMINISTRATION.
WHAT WE’VE SEEN FROM DEMOCRATS
IS THEY’VE NEVER HAD TO ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS WITH RESPECT TO
OVERSIGHT.
THAT’S GOING TO CHANGE IN
JANUARY.
WE EXPECT EVERY BIDEN CABINET
OFFICIAL TO COME BEFORE ALL OF
THEIR COMMITTEES OF JURISDICTION
AND ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT SHOULD
HAVE BEEN ASKED A LONG TIME AGO
BY DEMOCRATS WHEN THEY WERE IN
THE --
MARIA: BY THE WAY, I THINK HE
DID E THE SAME THING WITH THE
RAIL UNIONS.
THERE WAS NO DEAL.
FOUR OF THE UNIONS REJECTED THE
DEAL, AND THEN CONGRESS ACTUALLY
JAMMED IT DOWN THE UNION
WORKERS’ THROATS.
>> THAT’S RIGHT.
THAT’S ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF FAILED
LEADERSHIP BY THIS WHITE HOUSE.
MARIA: CONGRESSMAN, WE’RE GOING
TO BE WATCHING YOUR IMPORTANT
WORK, AND WE APPRECIATE YOU
