We begin with big tax role in this year's election
and beyond.
Mark Zuckerberg admitting to the House Judiciary Committee last week
that members of the Biden Harris administration, they pressured Meta
to take down post about COVID-19.
He also said the White House's actions were wrong and
that he regretted not publicly saying so when the White
House began those actions three years ago.
Can we do anything to stop Biden Harris team from
pressuring Big Tech in November?
Joining us now is House Judiciary chairman himself, the great
Jim Jordan.
Jim, thanks for being on the show.
So, Jim, we know that Big Tech has censored the
COVID-19 debates online.
We also know that Meta censored the Hunter Biden laptop
story prior to the 2020 election.
You've worked with Meta.
Do you think that Meta is going to continue to
censor?
Do you have faith that Americans are going to be
able to be able to have a fair debate as
we go into this election?
Well, I feel I feel better about it that the
fact that Mark Zuckerberg admitted basically 4 things.
He said, as you pointed out that the Biden Harris
administration pressured them to censor.
They in fact did censor.
Third, they throttled back the Hunter Biden laptop story literally
2 1/2 weeks before the most important election we have
the election of president United States.
And then he also said in his letter that no
more Zuckerbucks not going to spend money at these certain
boards of elections, certain locations around the country, which I
think all four of those are good news.
And the the fact that he confirmed all that literally
60 some days before our presidential election, I think is
is good news because who knows what they were going
to try this year.
But the fact that they're now admitted to it, I
think it's less likely they do the censorship that they
did before.
And I think this is again, one of the key
issues in this campaign.
The Republican Party is the party of free speech, protecting
your First Amendment right to right to speak out on
political issues.
The Democrat Party is the party of censorship.
That's why Tulsi Gabbard, that's why RFK Junior endorsed President
Trump, because they know our party is the party that
will protect your liberties and protect your right to speak.
No doubt.
I want to an overall lapping theme here is the
FBI, right?
So the FBI was putting pressure or giving notice to
Meta that there could be some Russian disinformation that comes
out about the Bidens and maybe charisma.
So the FBI is also responsible now for doing the
investigation in regard to the Trump assassination.
Christopher Wray came out and said, testifying before Congress, that
he wasn't quite sure it could have been a shrapnel
or a bullet that hit Donald Trump's ear.
Later on, the FBI came out and said, no, it
was a bullet.
And now they're telling us that they're not quite sure
about the motivation behind the shooter of Donald Trump.
Do you have faith that the FBI is a fair
act or a fair player as they do the investigation
on Donald Trump and are responsible for enforcing the laws
in this country?
Well, I, I mean, I hope so, but but you're
right, the, I think the Americans are, are right to
be skeptical.
I mean, this is the FBI who said if you're
a parent going to a school board meeting, you need
to be investigated.
This is the FBI that said that, you know, pro-life
Catholics were extremists.
This is the FBI that can't tell us who planted
the pipe bombs, who leaked the Dobbs decision, can't tell
us who put cocaine at the White House.
So you know, you're a little nervous about all that
and then when you add to it what you just
described, Sean, which is in the run up to the
2020 race, they did this pre bunking of the laptop
story, basically telling a big tech, oh, be on the
lookout for Russian information operation, knowing that they had the
laptop, knowing the laptop was real.
They sort of got everything ready and then they were
able to throttle back the story as we talked about.
So yeah, I'm a little concerned, but we have a
task force that's been put together by the speaker.
Let's hope they will dig into it and get to
the facts on what happened on July 13th.
You know what, what concerns me and I and I
got a survey in the House.
We both know the power of money, but we also
know the problems around using money as leverage in in
the Congress.
But the fact that the Congress controlled by Republicans that
controls the purse strings continues to fully fund the FBI.
There's a plan to build them a new headquarters and
they again, you talk about a two way street is
there?
There's one set of rules for Republicans.
There's a different set of rules for Democrats and Republicans
continue to fund them.
I think a lot of Americans sit back and scratch
their head to go, why did I elect you Republicans?
What are you guys going to do to contain the
FBI?
Yeah, Well, look, I voted against funding, providing funding for
new headquarters.
I voted to make sure that the voted for the
the language we offered as an amendment.
We lost on a Thai vote, which would have said,
if you're going to go search the FISA database, you're
going to search this database.
And you, Sean Duffy's name, his phone number, his e-mail
address, you got to go get a warrant, for goodness
sake.
That's how our constitutional system works.
So unfortunately, we lost that on a Thai vote.
But yeah, we got to fight harder for these fundamental
liberties.
I think something that that stuck with me this past
week, Sean, on on this First Amendment right, you're right
to speak, which I I argue is the most important
liberty we have.
Because if you can't speak, you can't practice your faith.
You can't share your faith, you don't have a Free
Press, you can't petition your government.
I mean, it's the most fundamental liberty we have.
RFK Junior said something great when he endorsed President Trump.
He says when you look at history, the good guys
aren't the ones who were for censorship.
And that is so true.
And right now, we have a major political party who
is for censoring the other side for under the guise
of disinformation, misinformation, all this jargon.
It's wrong.
And we need to, we need this issue is critical.
And I think in 65 days, the American people are
going to understand that and they're going to vote for
President Trump because they know he's the guy who will
defend their right to speak.
You know, Congressman, it's not just free speech, which is
incredibly important as we go into this election season, but
it's also the law fair that's been used against Donald
Trump, right?
This sham conviction in New York City.
Judge Mershawn was the judge in that case.
Sentencing comes on September 8th, 18th.
You've done you've you've continued the investigation to look at
Judge Micha's daughter Lauren, who's a political activist who works
in politics for Democrats.
You sent her a letter requesting information.
Have you received a response to request for information and
what do you hope to learn?
Well, we sent him 2 letters.
We got no response really, other than they said, oh,
we don't really have any information.
And the, and the information we do have that with
that, that response to your, to your request, we don't
think you're entitled to that, which is, which is garbage.
So we sent him a subpoena last week.
We'll see what they do.
I hope they will send us the information.
There are 9,000,000 reasons why we need this, why we
think it's appropriate we have this information because that's what
this company run by Judge Mershon's daughter got paid from
Harrison Biden's campaign back in 2019-2020.
And we want to know what's been going on in
23 and 24.
So that's why we sent the letter.
We've seen the behavior of Judge Mershon for giving his
sake.
He put a gag order on President Trump.
It still exists there.
He wouldn't let the expert on campaign finance testify at
the trial.
And the sentencing is coming up here in just a
few weeks.
So we want this information.
We've sent a subpoena.
We'll see if they give it to.
When you say you're not entitled to the information, Congressman,
that means they have information in conversations between whether it's
Judge Mershon or the Democrat Party in regard to this
conviction of Donald Trump.
Because if nothing was there, they're like, listen, we'll give
you what we have, Congressman, and we have nothing here
it is.
But when they don't do that, that's the problem.
I want to quickly turn.
We don't have a whole lot of time, but I
want to turn to the southern border.
We've learned that there's over 300,000 children that have been
lost at the southern border.
Kamala Harris says the borders are, she's talking a big
game now, like she wants border security, maybe even a
wall.
But I think you and I both know that she's
had 3 1/2 years to secure the border.
And again, Democrats have long talked about the plight of
children at the southern border, even AOC crying at kids
in cages at the border.
None of them have come to the defense of the
300 children lost.
Plus at the southern border, I don't know if the
House can do anything.
But what do we do to get those kids back?
Make sure that they're safe?
Because I have to imagine many of them are in
sex slavery or they're indentured servitude and work, but their
their plate cannot be good.
No 10 million migrants have entered the country and the
and the Biden Harris administration 300,000 young people.
They don't they they can't account for 99 individuals who've
come into the country who were on the terrorist watch
list that they did not detain that they released into
the country and they just made the borders are their
nominee.
This is how bad it is.
I think this issue is front of mind for for
the American voter is going to play a big role
in in this election.
President Trump secured our border and in four years time
we went from a secure border to no border.
That is that I mean that is just is is
so obvious, I think to the to the country.
And this problem is across the nation now, not just
in border States and border communities, it's across the nation.
When you have 10 million on pace to get to
12, I tell people that's the equivalent of the entire
population of our state, Ohio, we're the 7th largest state
in the country.
12 million migrants entering your country in a four year
time frame.
And again, as I said, they made the borders are
their nominee.
I think that's going to be a key issue for
for the American people and why again, I think President
Trump is going to win in 65 days.
It's pretty tough to run on the economy and the
border, the two top issues for the American voter when
you're a Kamala Harris judiciary Chairman.
Jim Jordan, thanks for being with me.
We appreciate you joining in Sunday morning Futures.
Thank you.
You bet, Sean.
Thank you.
