Now, there are other – throughout my time in Congress, there are other –

um, kind of accommodations you have to make.

Like I had to be there, willing, able anytime your bookers or anybody else's bookers would call and say, come be on television.

Because my theory was if I wasn't going to have the resources to buy ads, just go be on TV a lot.

And, uh, you know, that, that comes with its own compromise to your life and, and, uh,

your overall operation.

Yeah.

Well, I think that Bill Barr told them.

Bill Barr was a very well-known source for the New York Times.

Bill Barr was the attorney general.

And he hated me.

Why did he hate you?

We were in a big dispute about his unwillingness to enforce some of the election integrity laws.

There was a case in Florida where a Democrat supervisor of elections brought to the U.S.

attorney a clear instance of fraud where a Soros-aligned organization was fraudulently creating voter registrations so that they could request absentee ballots that were ghost votes.

And the U.S.

attorney asked for resources to pursue that investigation, and Bill Barr refused and said, I refuse to investigate any of this stuff because it will decrease confidence in the elections.

This was before the 2020 election.

And so I was constantly pestering President Trump and members of his administration that Bill Barr had to be dealt with on this.

You can't just say that you're not going to investigate something because the investigation itself will impact people's confidence.
