Summary
David X. Sullivan, former Assistant United States Attorney, discusses the ‘troubling’ air surrounding the ‘Twitter files’ documents showing that Twitter under the directive of the FBI censored content on the platform. Sullivan also comments on the recent story that came to light that the DOJ secretly subpoenaed the phone and e-mail records of Kash Patel while he worked for then-House Oversight Committee Chairman Devin Nunes investigating Russia Collusion. Sullivan comments on extreme examples of government overreach and how the federal government must be reminded that it does not have these powers. Saying, this is now not “a red issue, it’s not a blue issue, it’s a red, white, and blue issue. This is America, and I think these people forget, you know, what this country is founded on and the liberties that so many fought for, and continue to fight for, on behalf of all of us.”

| 0:39.2 | A lot to talk about today, and I want to dig back into one of the stories that we did |

| 1:26.3 | And a lot of people have weighed in on this revelation over the last several days. |
| 1:31.3 | All of them concerned. And from many very different perspectives, because there are a lot of people |
| 1:37.3 | that have weighed in in many different ways, all of them, though, are the serious concern. |
