1,800 [NIH] scientists had taken $193 million dollars in royalties

3:42  I think all of America should be appalled that America’s doctor, the leading expert on COVID and public health doesn’t want to divulge information, doesn't want to divulge his communications with Big Tech. But it goes even beyond that. The last time I had him in a hearing, we told him that through FOI that 193 NIH scientists . . . no, it was 1,800 scientists had taken $193 million dollars in royalties. And his response was, “Not that I’ll look into it and reveal it,” but his response was “By law, we don’t have to tell you which companies gave us how many royalties and to which scientists.” So, this is a guy whose modus operandi is to cover up and not allow any sunshine on any of his activities. That should be a tip off as to his motives.”

It sure does. And we’re going to get a good look at those emails and if he doesn’t comply, he has to pay a price, and this is a court order. Now, this is new, the FBI has secretly been pressuring Americans to sign away their constitutional right to buy and own firearms? This is according to internal documents that the Daily Caller News Foundation got. The FBI was showing up to people’s homes with national instant criminal background checks and forcing people to sign away their second Amendment, saying “You know, list yourself as a danger to yourself or others and say that they don’t have the capacity to manage your lives, put your name down on this form and you’re never gonna be able to buy a gun again. Now this happened at least 15 times between 2016 and 2019. The FBI says they’re not doing this anymore. I don’t know if I believe them, do you?

5:48 There’s a certain irony to say to someone that you have to be mentally competent to sign this statement that says, “you’re not mentally competent to own a gun.” So, there is that. There might be a quandary if you get into a court of law how someone is mentally incompetent to own a gun could be competent to sign away their gun rights. But the whole problem we have right now is that there’s a burden upon the FBI to prove to the American public that they’re not partisan. This goes back to 2016 when they used a foreign intelligence warrant to go after Donald Trump and his campaign, a foreign intelligence warrant which should be used on foreigners and a secret court was used to go after a major presidential candidate. Now we have two weeks ago, or in the last week, an FBI agent has been let go because he was hiding evidence that Hunter Biden’s laptop was legitimate. So, I think there’s a burden on the FBI, whether it’s this, whether it’s guns, or anything else to prove to us that they’re not acting in a political way. And I’ve had this conversation with Christopher Wray before. He doesn’t seem to be troubled at all by using a foreign intelligence warrant on an American. That’s why he just doesn’t simply get it.
