that. thank you, my friend. today has been a lesson how every accusation from the republican party these days is really actually a confession. are you weaponizing the house the same way you say the democrats were weaponizing the doj to get what they wanted? are you just doing it on a bigger platform from the entire house of representatives? no, there s a very clear distinction in what we re doing and what they are doing. what we re doing, neil, is the opposite. we re trying to adhere to the rule of law. that was republican speaker of the house mike johnson this afternoon saying the republican party is just trying to adhere to the rule of law. now, a few hours before that interview speaker johnson made a huge decision, which shows that is plainly not true. one of the most important things johnson does is decide who from his party sits on house committees. and among the most important committees for the rule of law in this country is the house intelligence committee. to
certain audiences, targeting black members of congress as a contingency you want to make sure is divided and maintain some support for israel. when russia is doing this kind of thing, the democrats are very vocal in calling it what it is, which is foreign inference in our politics. this is exactly the same. it s the exact same play book. and if we don t have antibodies to this, and one of those antibodies would we maybe not inviting the leader of the country that s doing that to address a joint session of congress, it s going to keep happening. yeah, and i guess i also wonder, you know, part of the reason it didn t really succeed this effort is because it was sort of ham handed and not that convincing and the intelligence the a.i. used was not that sophisticated. but just in terms of the future and what we re look at in terms of rogue governments or even allies trying to meddle with a pretty frayed democratic system in the united states, what are the implications?
