THEY WERE WRONG ABOUT JUST ABOUT
EVERYTHING THEY TOLD US.
DAVID: JOINING US IS CHAD WOLF.
I MAY HAVE SOME BREAK IN WITH
ELON MUSK BREAKS IN WITH HIS
PRESS CONFERENCE, HOWEVER IT
TAKES FORM.
ARE WE EVER GOING TO GET TO THE
BOTTOM OF WHAT DHS WAS UP TO
WITH THIS MISINFORMATION BOARD
HEAD BY A WOMAN PROVIDING
MISINFORMATION ABOUT RUSSIAN
COLLUSION HERSELF.
>> I HOPE SO.
WITH THE REPUBLICAN HOUSE AND
JIM JORDAN CHAIRING THAT
COMMITTEE, I THINK WE’LL START
TO GET SOME ANSWERS.
WE HAVEN’T HAD THAT OVERSIGHT IN
A NUMBER OF YEARS.
WE HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO ASK THE
DIFFICULT QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT
DID DHS DO AND IN WHAT TIME
FRAME OF THE SOME OF THE THINGS
SECRETARY AMERICAS MAYOR AMERICA
TESTIFIED ABOUT.
IT’S ONE THING TO GO AFTER
FOREIGN ADVERSARIES TRYING TO
AFFECT U.S. LIVES.
IT’S ANOTHER THING TO LOOK AT
DOMESTIC ISSUES AND DOMESTIC
FREE SPEECH.
>> AS FORMER ACTING HEALED OF
DHS.
YOU KNOW HOW IT OPERATES.
WHY DO YOU THINK A
MISINFORMATION ROOM WOULD BE
ESTABLISHED WITHIN DHS?
WHAT WAS THES RATIONALE FOR
THAT.
>> THERE ARE A COUPLE OF
DEPARTMENTS THAT LOOK AT FOREIGN
ADVERSARIES.
THEY DO THAT AT AN OPERATIONAL
LEVEL EVERY DAY AND HAVE DONE
THAT FOR YEARS AND YEARS.
BUT TO CREATE A DISINFORMATION
BOARD AND HOUSE IT IN THE
SECRETARY’S OFFICE MAKES THIS
ISSUE.
ONCE YOU START GOING INTO THE
DOMESTIC FREE SPEECH AND FIRST
AMENDMENT ISSUES IN THE U.S. AND
YOU ARE NOT LOOK AT JUST FOREIGN
ADVERSARY SPEECH, YOU START TO
GET INTO A SLIPPERY SLOPE.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE
ORIGINS OF COVID.
WHY DID WE WITHDRAW FROM
AFGHANISTAN.
THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
ANYTHING HAVING TO DO WITH
BORDER SECURITY.
THESE ARE THINGS THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE NEED TO DECIDE ABOUT.
YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE A GOVERNMENT
ENTITY LOOK AT WHAT IS TRUTH AND
WHAT IS NOT.
DAVID: ARE THEY IN THE PROCESS
OF TRYING TO TURN DHS INTO A
POLITICAL TOOL.
>> I THINK THEYS HAVE THEY -- I
HAVE DONE THAT IN THIS
ADMINISTRATION.
AT THE BORDER, THERE IS NO
REASON WHY YOU WOULD TAKE ONE OF
THE MOST SECURE BORDERS WE HAVE
SEEN IN OUR LIFETIME AND TURN IT
UPSIDE DOWN AND TURN IT INTO ONE
OF THE MOST INSECURE BORDERS IF
YOU DIDN’T HAVE A POLITICAL
AGENDA.
IT’S PRIME FOR OVERSIGHT
HEARINGS THE NEXT FIVE OR SIX
MONTHS.
I THINK WE’LL HOPEFULLY SEE THAT
OUT OF A REPUBLICAN HOUSE.
DAVID: WE HAVE DHS, WHICH IS A
HUGE ORGANIZATION, CREATED AFTER
9/11.
THERE SEEMED TO BE A PURPOSE FOR
IT AFTER 9/11 WHEN WE WERE
WORRIED ABOUT 9/11.
YOU HAVE A SIMILAR PROBLEM AT
THE FBI.
DO WE HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM
WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT BECOMING
TOO POLITICIZED?
>> I THINK THERE COULD BE BETTER
GUARDRAILS AND OVERSIGHT.
A LOT OF THIS DISINFORMATION
WORK DOESN’T SOLELY RESIDE IN
OUR INFORMATION SECURITY.
SINCE IT WAS CREATED MORE AND
MORE AUTHORITY AND RESOURCES
HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO IT.
AND I’M NOT SURE THE PROPER
OVERSIGHT HAS BEEN ADMINISTERED.
IT’S SOMETHING FOR CONGRESS TO
TAKE A LOOK AT.
DAVID: ON HOPEFULLY SOMETHING
WE’LL BE ABLE TO TAKE A LOOK AT
IN THE NEXT HOUR.
WE HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE HEAD
OF THE CIA AND THE DNI, JAMES
CLAPPER AND JOHN BRENNAN WERE
COMING OUT WITH JUST FLAT-OUT
LIES SAYING THE "NEW YORK POST"
STORY ABOUT HUNTER’S LAPTOP WAS
RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION.
EVERYBODY SEEMED TO BUY IN ON
THAT IN THE LEGACY MEDIA.
DOES THAT NEED TO BE
INVESTIGATED?
DO WE NEED TO FIND OUT WHERE
THEY GOT THEIR INFORMATION THAT
THIS WAS RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION
WHEN IT WASN’T?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
ALL ASPECTS OF THIS STORY NEED
TO BE LOOKED AT.
WHEN YOU YOU HAVE OFFICIALS
MAKING SUCH CLAIMS.
THE ISSUE IS THEY HAVE A LOT OF
CREDIBILITY.
WHEN THEY WEIGH IN ON A
POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT, THEY NEED
TO BE CLEAR WITH THE AMERICAN
PUBLIC ABOUT THAT.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BELIEVE
THESE FOLKS, 50 OR 51 MORE
INDIVIDUALS HAVE INFORMATION.
BUT ME MADE IT UP AND THEY
DIDN’T HAVE ANYTHING TO BASE
THEIR DECISION ON AND THEY WERE
WRONG.
I THINK THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT
