Mike Nellis, Lauren Rishon's business partner, allegedly refused to comply with a subpoena, similar to Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro, who faced jail time. Nellis is associated with Authentic Campaigns, which launched a $10,000,000 anti-Trump ad campaign. The speaker questions if this campaign is funded by the millions of dollars in payments allegedly sent to Rishon and Nellis' homes, and if this is why they were allegedly attacked. The speaker suggests this could be an excuse for Nellis not complying with the subpoena. They criticize the Republicans for not enforcing the subpoena against Nellis, while Bannon and Navarro were jailed. The speaker claims Republicans are useless.

Speaker 0 says that on Friday the Department of Justice served the Federal Reserve with grand jury subpoenas threatening a criminal indictment related to testimony before the Senate Banking Committee last June about a multiyear project to renovate historic Federal Reserve office buildings. They emphasize respect for the rule of law and state that no one, not even the chair of the Federal Reserve, is above the law. The speaker argues this unprecedented action should be understood in the broader context of administration threats and ongoing pressure, stating the threat is not about the June testimony or the renovation project, nor about Congress’s oversight role. The Fed, through testimony and other public disclosures, allegedly tried to keep Congress informed, and the speaker asserts those are pretexts. The threat of criminal charges, according to the speaker, arises from the Fed setting interest rates based on what will serve the public, rather than following the President’s preferences. The core issue, the speaker says, is whether the Fed can continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions or whether monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation. The speaker notes service at the Fed under four administrations, both Republican and Democrat, asserting a record of carrying out duties without political fear or favor, focused on the mandate of price stability and maximum employment. Public service, the speaker adds, sometimes requires standing firm in the face of threats. Finally, the speaker commits to continuing to perform the job the Senate confirmed them to do with integrity and dedication to the American people, and thanks the audience.

Congress has little power and is offended that the speaker won't appear before a partisan committee. The speaker believes the real story goes back to 2016, with attempts to interfere with the election and overthrow the Trump administration. The speaker stands for fair trade, securing borders, and ending endless wars. Special interests in Washington can't make money under Trump, so they weaponize the justice system to prevent his return to the White House.

I support the January 6th committee pursuing those who ignore congressional subpoenas. They should be held accountable and possibly prosecuted by the Supreme Court.

The speakers discuss the role of different government branches in interpreting the law, with Speaker 1 emphasizing that the judiciary has the final say, not legislators, everyday people, or the president. Speaker 1 expresses concern that institutions are being undermined, with the legislative branch failing to check the president. They argue that disregarding judicial orders, even if disliked, erodes the rule of law, using hypothetical scenarios involving presidential executive orders, election ballot access, and prosecutorial overreach to illustrate potential problems. Speaker 0 notes the irony of representatives who previously supported impeachment now criticizing similar actions, and emphasizes that the hearing should focus on the court's ability to function as intended, not on impeachment.

We need more people like you in Washington, not the current politicians. Many Republicans missed the chance in 2022. I'm willing to go to prison to defend the constitutional separation of powers. This case could set a precedent on whether Congress can use subpoena power against a president. Executive privilege is crucial for presidents to receive confidential advice. The J Six committee is undermining this privilege. If I lose my appeal, executive privilege will be weakened. A president needs the ability to act on both sides.

The speaker questions the seriousness of the hearing, criticizing the committee for suddenly caring about subpoena compliance. They highlight the committee's failure to honor their own subpoena for over 600 days, while expecting others to comply. The speaker suggests that if the hearing is a joke, it would be in line with the overall state of Congress. They question the committee's perception of the American people, pointing out the hypocrisy of holding someone in contempt while being out of compliance themselves. The speaker emphasizes their commitment to upholding the law and implies that the committee should do the same.

The speaker thanks the chairman and addresses someone named Hunter, suggesting they are afraid of the speaker's words. The speaker reclaims their time. The speaker says that the House committees should provide relevant information to any legitimate inquiry. The speaker claims their first five offers were ignored. Then in November, a subpoena was issued for a behind-closed-doors deposition. The speaker asserts that Republicans have repeatedly misused this tactic in their political crusade to selectively leak and mischaracterize witness statements.

The speaker questions why Pam Bondi hasn't prosecuted Garland and asks if the rule is that only Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon go to jail for obstructing Congress. They assert that the case doesn't require six months to decide, as it was resolved by the prior administration. The speaker suggests Garland wouldn't prosecute himself within the Justice Department. They express confusion about the difficulty in deciding whether to prosecute someone or, at least, announcing a review of the issue.

The speaker expresses their hope that the January 6th committee will pursue and hold accountable those who defy congressional subpoenas. When asked about supporting 10 minutes for the Supreme Court, the speaker responds with a clear "No."

The speaker suggests a plan to address the ongoing matter involving Jack Smith and Congress. They propose that Jack Smith should be required to give a transcribed interview to the House Judiciary Committee within 15 days. If he refuses, a subpoena should be issued, and if he still ignores it, he should be held in criminal contempt of Congress. The speaker also suggests bringing President Trump in to testify and granting him immunity. They explain that immunity can be granted by any committee or subcommittee and would protect Trump from certain charges. The speaker believes that Congress should not sit back and allow the ongoing matter to play out, as it undermines the legitimacy of the investigation. They argue that the Department of Justice is functioning as the enforcement wing of the Democratic Party and that Congress should assert its equities in the situation. The speaker acknowledges that there may be risks in bringing someone before Congress to testify, but they believe it is necessary in this case. They emphasize the importance of addressing election interference rather than accepting the ongoing matter as a legitimate prosecution.

The speaker denies any financial involvement from his father in his business ventures, including his work as a lawyer, board member of Burisma, partnership with a Chinese businessman, and investments. The speaker also addresses the question of "Where's Hunter?" and asserts that he is present. The conversation then shifts to the topic of congressional subpoenas and the power to arrest individuals who defy them. It is explained that the Department of Justice has a two-tier system and that Congress has the authority to enforce subpoenas through inherent contempt powers. The possibility of arresting individuals who refuse to comply with subpoenas, such as Dr. Fauci, is discussed, and it is revealed that there are jail cells in the Capitol building for this purpose. The host expresses surprise at this information.

My message to those who defy congressional subpoenas on the January 6th committee is that I hope the committee takes action and holds them accountable, including possible prosecution.

Whatever James Comey's intent, people like him need to be held accountable under the law. A person in Georgia who issued threats on the speaker's life a month ago has been indicted and is in jail. Comey claims to have given his life for and stands by the rule of law. The rule of law says people who issue direct threats against the president of The United States, essentially issuing a call to assassinate him, must be held accountable under the law.

I will not appear before the Georgia Senate committee without a subpoena. I believe they do not have the authority to subpoena me. I will not do anything unlawful as I have not broken any laws. I treat everyone equally, even if it upsets some people.

While on maternity leave, I learned about inherent contempt of Congress, a power rarely used since the early 1900s. The attorney general defied two subpoenas from House chairmen. If the Department of Justice doesn't act in 10 days, I've filed a motion to bring inherent contempt proceedings against the attorney general. This allows the House to detain the attorney general until he complies with subpoenas. It's a necessary step to restore order in the House.

The speaker discusses the police commissioner's refusal to let Nancy Pelosi testify and accuses the January 6th committee of destroying evidence. They express frustration over the committee's announcement of evidence destruction, particularly related to Nancy Pelosi. The speaker questions why she wasn't allowed to testify and mentions offering a sum of money.

The speaker criticizes the Biden family, stating that they have no business experience except for politics. They claim that the oversight committee, along with other committees, has uncovered evidence of public corruption and a pay-for-play scheme involving foreign nations, resulting in millions of dollars. The speaker mentions that Hunter Biden ignored a congressional subpoena as a private citizen, which would typically result in contempt and punishment. They argue that private citizens have a responsibility to answer congressional subpoenas and suggest that Hunter Biden should be held in contempt by the full House of Representatives. The speaker concludes by yielding back their time.

The speaker discusses the January 6th committee's legitimacy and the need to hold members of Congress accountable for any criminal activity related to it. They suggest investigating those who aided in suppressing evidence. The speaker emphasizes defeating the deep state for accountability, mentioning issues like the 51 intel letter and Hunter Biden's laptop. They predict a significant change in Washington after the truth is revealed, leading to internal accountability for criminal behavior.

Hunter Biden's refusal to appear before Congress is seen as unacceptable, especially considering that President Trump's children spent hours testifying in front of Democrat-led committees. There is a belief that the Biden family is trying to hide their involvement in money laundering, abuse of power, and potential Mann Act violations. Hunter Biden's press conference outside the Capitol, followed by his failure to show up for the hearing, is seen as an attempt to avoid revealing the truth. The speaker emphasizes the need for equal treatment between the Biden and Trump families, stating that Hunter Biden and Joe Biden seem to think they are above the law.

Speaker 0 asks if Speaker 1 is aware that a majority of the committee has marked up a contempt resolution. Speaker 1 acknowledges the majority seeking contempt. Speaker 0 emphasizes the importance of the majority's actions. Speaker 1 asserts he will not be intimidated and cites the need to protect separation of powers. Speaker 0 questions the consequences of defying a subpoena, mentioning past criminal referrals. Speaker 1 argues his case is different and highlights the lack of compliance and absence of executive privilege in previous cases. Speaker 0 warns of potential prosecution if Speaker 1's decision to not cooperate is baseless. Speaker 1 affirms the importance of following the law.

Speaker 0: Reclaiming time from Chairman, Hunter is avoiding my words. Speaker 1: House committees seek relevant info, but GOP misuses subpoenas for political gain, ignoring offers and leaking witness statements. Translation: Speaker 0 reclaims time from the Chairman as Hunter avoids their words. Speaker 1 mentions that House committees are seeking relevant information, but Republicans are misusing subpoenas for political purposes by ignoring offers and leaking witness statements.

We show up for you every day in D.C. We work for the American people and won't tolerate the current bullshit. Some of you have been frustrated with Democrats, but we haven't left you. We'll ensure laws are upheld and won't let anyone desecrate the Constitution. We'll be in your face, making sure you understand what democracy is—and this isn't it. Trump and his cronies will learn a lesson. Maxwell and I serve on the oversight committee. We were initially blocked from conducting oversight. Trump is trying to turn us into Russia, but we, the people, won't let that happen. It's cold, but we won't go. The constitutional crisis is here, but remember: the power belongs to the people.

A speaker questioned why a congressperson believes President Trump is above the law and why they haven't spoken out against the dismantling of the federal government by President Trump and Elon Musk. The speaker urged the congressperson to stand up for what's right and do their job. The congressperson responded that journalists constantly ask questions, but their answers are not published. To address this, the congressperson publishes statements and speeches on their website, "the scoop," because they cannot rely on news outlets to report what they say.
