readout of liberals intent on targeting conservatives. it bears mentioning that fbi director chris wray is a member of the federalist society, who clerked for michael luttig. he s a dyed in the wool conservative, and i d love your assessment about how deep the deep state might be in the trenches of liberalism given, you know, the claims made on capitol hill today. as chris wray himself said, alex, repeatedly today, the narrative that the fbi is somehow full of liberaep state, anti trump, anti conservatives is ludicrous. chris wray is a pro. i disagree with chris on a lot of issues, but i respect his integrity. as i do with all of the men and women in the fbi who, in my experience as a former prosecutor, go about their very important work with a great deal of integrity. they do make mistakes, and the
in january in washington. it seems that putting some different messaging out there is better than what we had in november of 2020. i agree wholeheartedly. and i will say that judge luttig, who i ve had the great fortune to get to know a little bit over the last several months, is really an excellent messenger for this. i mean, if you look at his positions on legal issues and things, he is a true dyed in the wool conservative. right? but he respects the rule of law. he understands the importance of national security and protecting our nation s secrets. he has respect for the constitution. and democracy and the peaceful transition of power. and you will of the things that donald trump doesn t stand for at all. and that s why i think it s so important that he did come forward and talk about the things he said in the new york times. pardon me, i m visiting my

very clear. i m not threatening anybody with committee assignments. when i m saying is it was shocking to me that if a person is a republican, they get their committee assignments from the republican conference. for somebody to accept committee assignments from speaker pelosi, that s unprecedented. unprecedented that cheney is more committed to the truth than politics? i mean what message is he sending here? what? yeah, i don t think he realizes what he s saying. of course it s unprecedented because she s having to do this because he s not willing to show any leadership on this, and republicans aren t willing to show any leadership on this. and it might be easier to understand what he s saying if we weren t talking about liz cheney, who is, you know, just dyed in the wool conservative, former you know, father is
