Conservative and open and would like to hear from whistleblowers because i think they can tell us about malfeasance within government. in fact, the most famous whistleblower in the covid investigation was a major who released a research document that said that the chinese with our help, we re actually trying to develop the virus that looked suspicious issues like suspiciously like what? covid 19. and became and that was a blockbuster and actually had a lot rethinking whether the virus came from a lab. whistleblowers are incredibly important and we should hear from them. the weaponization of the f.b.i. policing speech at twitter and paying $3 million to twitter to take down protected speech. these are things that have to be evaluated. my hope is that at some point in time the left they were good at defending the first amendment. when will they step up and say it s wrong for the f.b.i. to be shutting down content on twitter
School boards? we are going to work collaboratively with the congress. just like we have just like we have with the congress before it and the congress before that. we re going to try to be as transparent as we can be but we are also going to be mindful of our own obligation legal in policy that we have. bret: when that letter came down from the national school boards association and then you receive a letter from the a.g. referencing the classification of heinous actions could be equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and a hate crime talking about parents at school board meetings, what s your thought about that? well, look, what i will tell you is what i told the executive management of all of our field offices across the country when i first read that memorandum, which is the fbi is not now nor will it ever be in the business of policing speech at school board meetings or anywhere else. now, when it comes to violence,
