IT’S ALL RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW
ON "SUNDAY MORNING FUTURES." ♪
♪
MARIA: BUT FIRST THIS MORNING,
WE BEGIN THIS SUNDAY MORNING ON
THE AGGRESSIVE TACTICS FROM
BIDEN’S DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
THIS PAST MONDAY THE FBI
EXECUTED A SEARCH WARRANT ON THE
HOME OF FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD
TRUMP OVER DOCUMENTS.
THEN ON TUESDAY REPUBLICAN
CONGRESSMAN SCOTT PERRY, WHO IS
A SUPPORTER OF PRESIDENT TRUMP,
HAD HIS PERSONAL CELL PHONE
CONFISCATED BY THE FBI.
HIS PHONE WAS LATER RETURNED,
AND THE DOJ INFORMED HIM THAT A
HE IS NOT THE TARGET OF THIS
INVESTIGATION.
JOINING ME RIGHT NOW IS THE MAN
HIMSELF, CONGRESSMAN PERRY OF
PENNSYLVANIA, SITS ON THE HOUSE
FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE AND IS
ALSO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE HOUSE
FREEDOM CAUCUS.
CONGRESSMAN, GREAT TO HAVE YOU
THIS MORNING.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING
HERE.
>> WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH,
MARIA.
LAST WEEK, A DAY AFTER THE RAID
ON THE PRESIDENT’S HOME, FBI
AGENTS SHOWED UP WHEN I WAS
TRAVELING WITH MY FAMILY, MY
WIFE AND OUR TWO SMALL CHILDREN,
MY IN-LAWS, EXTENDED FAMILY,
SHOWED UP AND DEMANDED MY CELL
PHONE.
THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO
IMAGE IT, HE WERE NOT GOING TO
SEARCH IT, AND THEY EVENTUALLY
DID RETURN IT.
BUT WHAT I THINK THIS IS ABOUT
IS INTIMIDATING ANYONE WHO
REFUSES TO BEND THE KNEE TO THE
NARRATIVE.
AND, YOU KNOW, I DON’T KNOW
EXACTLY WHAT YOUR QUESTIONS ARE
GOING TO BE, BUT THERE’S BEEN NO
ACCOUNTABILITY.
JAMES COMEY, THE DIRECTOR OF THE
FBI, USED CLASSIFIED INFORMATION
IMPROPERLY TO GET A SPECIAL
COUNSEL.
NO ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THAT.
THE CHAIRMAN OF THE INTEL
COMMITTEE CHANGED THE
PRESIDENT’S SPEECH AND ENTERED
IT INTO THE RECORD, CREATED AN
IMPEACHMENT TRIAL, AGAIN, NO
ACCOUNTABILITY.
YOU NAME IT ACROSS THE BOARD
WHETHER IT’S JOHN EASTMAN,
WHETHER IT’S SCOTT PERRY,
WHETHER IT’S PRESIDENT TRUMP AND
WITH PASSING A BILL THAT WILL
PAY FOR HIRING OF 87,000 IRS
AGENTS, TYRANNY’S GOING TO COME
RIGHT INTO EVERYONE’S LIVING
ROOM VERY, VERY SHORTLY.
MARIA: WELL, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
EXTRAORDINARY.
I MEAN, HERE SURVEY CASING WITH
YOUR IN-LAWS, YOUR ELDERLY
IN-LAWS AND YOUR CHILDREN, AND
THEN YOU ARE TAKEN ASIDE BY THE
FBI TO ASK FOR YOUR PERSONAL
CELL PHONE.
OBVIOUSLY, THEY KNEW WHERE YOU
WERE.
YOU’RE THE HEAD OF THE FREEDOM
CAUCUS.
HOW DID THAT FEEL?
WHAT WERE YOU THINKING WHEN
SUDDENLY YOU’RE ON A TRIP WITH
YOUR FAMILY, AND YOU’RE PULLED
ASIDE BY FBI AGENTS?
>> WELL, MARIA, IT FEELS AWFUL.
LOOK, WE HAVE ALWAYS SUPPORTED
LAW ENFORCEMENT, I ALWAYS HAVE.
WE HAVE REVERED THE FBI, BUT
THIS IS AN ABUSE OF POWER AND,
OF COURSE, YOU’RE -- LOOK,
THEY’RE USING THESE TACTICS TO
INTIMIDATE PEOPLE, COERCE PEOPLE
AND, YOU KNOW, IT’S NOT
SOMETHING THAT ANYONE ASPIRES
TO.
BUT, MARIA, PEOPLE THE THAT
BLEACH THEIR PHONES AND HIT ’EM
WITH HAMMERS, SMASH ’EM WITH
HAMMERS AND THOSE TYPES OF
THINGS HAVE SOMETHING TO HIDE.
PEOPLE THAT KEEP THE SAME PHONE
A YEAR AND A HALF AFTER THE
ELECTION AREN’T WORRIED ABOUT
WHAT’S ON THEIR PHONE.
AND SO THAT’S ME.
BUT, APPARENTLY, THEY WANT TO
DESTROY ME POLITICALLY, THEY
WANT TO -- LIKE, AGAIN, LIKE I
SAID, ANYBODY THAT DOESN’T BEND
THE KNEE, THAT ISN’T
INTIMIDATED, THAT ISN’T
PARROTING THE NARRATIVE IS
SUBJECT TO THESE KINDS OF THIRD
WORLD, BANANA ARE REPUBLIC
TACTICS.
AND THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE SEEING,
ABUSE OF THE DOJ AND THE
INSTRUMENTS OF FEDERAL POWER.
MARIA: WELL, THIS IS INCREDIBLY
DISTURBING.
I WANT TO GET ON TO OTHER ISSUES
WITH YOU, IN PARTICULAR CHINA.
BUT REAL QUICK, TELL ME ABOUT
THE FREEDOM CAUCUS.
WAS PART OF IT?
WHAT ISES THE FREEDOM CAUCUS?
TELL OUR AUDIENCE WHAT WE NEED
TO KNOW ABOUT IT.
>> SO THE FREEDOM CAUCUS STANDS
FOR THE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF
AMERICANS WHO FEEL LIKE
WASHINGTON HAS LEFT THEM BEHIND,
THE PEOPLE THAT SAY ONE THING IN
THE DISTRICT AND THEN GO BACK TO
WASHINGTON AND DON’T VOTE THAT
WAY.
WE DO EXACTLY WHAT WE SAID WE’RE
GOING TO DO, AND THE FREEDOM
CAUCUS, OF COURSE, MYSELF, I HAD
ISSUES, ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT
REGARDING MERRICK GARLAND AND
HIS TARGETING OF PARENTS FOR
VISITING SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS.
SO, YES, THIS MIGHT BE, AGAIN,
HAVING THE FREEDOM CAUCUS,
AGAIN, THOSE MEMBERS BEND THE
KNEE, SUBMIT TO THE WILL OF THE
ESTABLISHMENT OR ELSE.
MARIA: WELL, LOOK, WHILE ALL OF
THIS IS GOING ON AND IT’S
INTIMIDATION BY THE FBI AND THE
DOJ TO YOU ON PRESIDENT TRUMP,
ON ANYBODY ELSE WHO SUPPORTS
HIM, AND WE ARE LOOKING AT
EVIDENCE OF INFLUENCE PEDDLING
IN PLAIN SIGHT.
AND EVIDENCE THAT THE CCP IS
TRYING TO OVERTAKE AMERICA, AND
JOE BIDEN IS NOT DOING ANYTHING
ABOUT IT.
CONGRESSMAN, WE NOW KNOW THAT
THERE ARE REPORTS THAT THE
PRESIDENT WILL MEET WITH XI
JINPING IN NOVEMBER.
HE IS CONSIDERING LIFTING THE
TARIFFS ON CHINA.
WE KNOW OF ALL OF THE REPORTING
AND THE SENATE REPORT THAT
HUNTER BIDEN AND JIM BIDEN TOOK
IN FEN -- TENS OF MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS FROM CHINESE-CONTROLLED
COMPANIES.
WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING FROM
MEETING, AND WHAT ARE YOUR
THOUGHTS ON WHAT WE SEE ACTUALLY
HAPPENING IN TERMS OF DISTURBING
THINGS LIKE THE INFLUENCE
PEDDLING OPERATION COMING OUT OF
THE BIDEN FAMILY?
>> WELL, THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE
QUESTION, MARIA.
I EXPECT THAT THE PRESIDENT WILL
CAPITULATE TO THE COMMUNIST
PARTY OF CHINA.
IT SHOULD BE PRETTY APPARENT TO
ANYBODY THAT’S BEEN ALIVE FOR
THE PAST FIVE YEARS THAT THE
BIDEN FAMILY IS COMPLETELY
COMPROMISED BY THE COMMUNIST
PARTY OF I CHINA.
IT’S BEEN A GRIP FOR A VERY LONG
TIME, AND INSTEAD OF GOING AFTER
THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF CHINA,
THEY’RE HAPPY TO CHANGE THE TEXT
WORDS OF JIM JORDAN, THAT WERE
ON HIS PHONE.
SO THAT’S ALL A DISTRACTION TO
KEEP THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FROM
FOCUSING ON WHAT REALLY IS
ACTIONABLE INTELLIGENCE AND
ACTUAL EVIDENCE, LIKE YOU SAID,
IN PLAIN SIGHT THAT THE D WORK J
SHOULD BE PURR -- DOJ SHOULD BE
PURSUING RIGHT NOW.
MARIA: YEAH.
WE’RE LOOKING AT BIDEN’S CHINA
POLICY AS WE KNOW IT, AND
THEY’VE ACCEPTED $31 MILLION IN
DEALS AND MONEY FROM CHINA, 10%
FOR THE BIG GUY WE HAVE IN BLACK
AND WHITE ON AN E-MAIL, FAILS TO
DEMAND ANY INVESTIGATION INTO
THE COVID ORIGIN, YOU KNOW?
XI JINPING SAID, NO, AND JOE
BIDEN SAID, OKAY.
FAILS TO CONFRONT HIM ON THE
FENTANYL.
WE’VE GOT 100,000 AMERICANS --
>> POISON, RIGHT.
MARIA: -- DEAD, AND THE CHINA
INITIATIVE IS GONE.
HE’S CONSIDERING LIFTING TARIFFS
ON IMPORTS.
HE EVEN SOLD OIL FROM AMERICA’S
STRATEGIC RESERVE TO CHINA, AND
HE’S PUSHING THESE ELECTRIC
VEHICLES AND SOLAR PANELS,
BATTERIES ALL MADE IN CHINA.
>> SLAVE LABOR.
WITH SLAVE LABOR, MARIA.
THAT’S ALL MADE WITH SLAVE LABOR
OF COURSE.
THE LARGEST TERRORIST SATE ON
THE PLANET WHO IS RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE UNTIMELY AND JUST
HORRIFIC DEATHS OF THOUSANDS OF
SERVICE MEMBERS IN IRAQ AND
ABROAD, COUNTENANCING A DEAL
THAT WOULD MAKE THE GREATEST
TERRORIST STATE ON THE PLANET A
NUCLEAR-ARMED, BALLISTIC
MISSILE-CAPABLE, YOU KNOW,
HAVING THE DELIVERY SYSTEM ON
THE DOORSTEP OF ISRAEL.
AND, OF COURSE, WITHIN REACH OF
THE UNITED STATES WITH BALLISTIC
CAPABILITY CONTINUING TO WORK
WITH THESE PEOPLE AND NOT ONLY
THAT, BUT LIFT TARIFFS, BUY
THEIR OIL AND CONTINUE WITH
THESE DISCUSSIONS.
IT IS OUTRAGEOUS, AND IT IS BAD
FOR, OBVIOUSLY, IT IS
ANTITHETICAL TO AMERICAN
NATIONAL SECURITY.
MARIA: YEAH.
WELL, I MEAN, I’M STUMPED AS TO
WHY THIS ADMINISTRATION
CONTINUES TO NEGOTIATE EVEN IF
INDIRECTLY WITH IRAN WHILE THEY
HAVE A FATWA ON THE BACK OF MIKE
POMPEO, FORMER SEC SECRETARY OF
STATE, AND JOHN BOLTON.
AND, OF COURSE, THE HORRIFIC
SITUATION OF AUTHOR SALMAN
RUSHDIE STABBED WHILE HE WAS
ABOUT TO GIVE A SPEECH IN
UPSTATE NEW YORK 3 3 YEARS AFTER
IRAN CALLED FOR HIS DEATH.
SO THEY ARE STILL CALLING FOR
ALL OF THESE PEOPLE’S DEATHS --
>> RIGHT.
MARIA: -- IN PARTICULAR, FORMER
TRUMP OFFICIALS LIKE JOHN BOLTON
AND MIKE POMPEO, AND YET THEY’RE
STILL NEGOTIATING WITH IRAN TO
GET BACK INTO A NUCLEAR DEAL.
>> RIGHT.
MARIA: AND THEN, OF COURSE,
THERE IS THE WIDE OPEN BORDER.
I JUST WENT TO THE BORDER LAST
WEEK FOR A FIFTH TIME, AND WE’VE
GOT MASSIVE FLOW OF ILLICIT OR
NARCOTICS COMING IN.
WE WENT TO THE CRIMES LAB, AND
WE SAW HOW THE DRUG CARTELS ARE
RUNNING THE ENTRY INTO AMERICA.
AND THEY’RE LURING YOUNG KIDS BY
MAKING PILLS COLORFUL, BY LACING
IT WITH.
PREPONDERATAL.
NO COMMENT FROM JOE BIDEN.
>> NOT A THING.
WIDE OPEN BORDER, 200,000 A
MONTH.
OF COURSE, THE FENTANYL THAT YOU
TALKED ABOUT, THEY’RE ACTING
LIKE THESE ARE JUST STANDARD,
RUN OF THE MILL DRUG OVERDOSES.
THEY ARE POISONING, THEY ARE
POISONINGS BEING FACILITATED BY
THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF CHINA AND
THE CARTEL.
THE CARTELS HAVE ABSOLUTE
OPERATIONAL CONTROL OF THE
SOUTHERN BORDER, NOT ONLY
FLOODING WITH ILLEGALS,
CRIMINALS, BUT ALSO THE FENTANYL
THAT’S POISONING PEOPLE ACROSS
AMERICA.
THIS, AGAIN, IS AN OUTRAGE.
AND, OF COURSE, ANY OF THE
THINGS YOU OUTLINED, ANY ONE
SINGLE ISSUE WITH IRAN, POMPEO,
BOLTON OR SALMAN RUSHDIE, IT’S
ENOUGH FOR AMERICA TO WALK AWAY
AND CONTINUE TO LIST IRAN AS A
STATE SPONSOR OR TERROR AND
TREAT THEM AS SUCH, TREAT THEM
AS THE ENEMY OF INTERNATIONAL
ORDER THAT THEY ARE.
MARIA: YEAH.
WELL, ALL OF THIS WHILE THEY ARE
HOOKING FOR YOU -- LOOKING FOR
YOU, AND YOU ARE RALPHING WITH
YOUR YOU WOULD ORERLY IN-LAWS.
HOW MANY FBI AGENTS WERE THERE,
BY THE WAY, WHEN THEY SEIZED
YOUR CELL PHONE?
>> APPARENTLY, IT TAKES THREE.
THEY SAID DO YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS, I SAID, YES, HOW DID
YOU FIND ME?
OF COURSE, I ALREADY KNOW THE
ANSWER, BUT I WANTED THEM TO
ADMIT IT, AND THE GENTLEMAN, THE
AGENT HAD A SMIRK ON HIS FACE,
HE SAID THAT’S WHAT WE DO.
BUT, MARIA, WHEN I ASKED THEM TO
RETURN THE PHONE BY CONTACTING
MY CHIEF OF STAFF INSTEAD OF
BOTHERING MY FAMILY, THEY
DIDN’T, THEY DIDN’T HONOR THAT.
THEY SAID THEY WOULD.
THEY DIDN’T DO THAT.
AND WHEN I ASKED HIM WHY HE
DIDN’T HONOR HIS COMMITMENT, HE
SAID, WE COULDN’T FIND HER.
[LAUGHTER]
MARIA: CONGRESSMAN, IT’S NOT
FUNNY AT ALL, IT’S VERY
DISTURBING.
>> NO, IT ISN’T.
