He had nothing to do with and had no idea who was involved with Project 2025, Donald Trump's pick for his picks for his new administration? Well, they suggest Otherwise. At least six of Trump's nominees or appointees have ties to Project 2025, either as advisors, authors, contributors, or in promotional videos. Why did they show up?

Well, Katie, I can tell you what the FBI and DHS are saying publicly, and then I'll tell you what committee sources think is going on. FBI and DHS are saying that the threat picture right now is so sensitive that they feel they can only talk about the big issues in a closed hearing, in a classified closed session. And one of the issues that they don't want to talk about publicly is the fact that China has successfully hacked a bunch of telecom companies and they may have gotten access to classified information. That's very sensitive. So that's understandable. But there's nothing that would prevent them from having both an open hearing and a closed hearing. And what committee sources I talk to are concerned about is they feel like here are two top officials who are not long in their jobs. Mayorkas, obviously leaving as a political appointee, and Chris Wray, the FBI director, were reporting Donald Trump wants to replace him, so he may leave as well. And the feeling is that they decided they didn't want to sit for another grilling on the Hill. These hearings are not pleasant. They get yelled at. They get asked tough questions. Some people view it as a circus, but it's an important function where taxpayers get to see these top officials answering hard questions. And sometimes there are good questions and we learn things. And so we're not going to have that opportunity. And it's not clear at all that these open hearings will be rescheduled before these two men leave their jobs.

Katie, could they possibly be rescheduled to earlier next year to when there's a new CIA director or new FBI director and new Homeland Security ahead?
Jack Posobiec (1:49)
Absolutely. I don't think this is the end of worldwide threat hearings and open hearings. I just think these two gentlemen have decided that they don't need to do this anymore and they are leaving, and so the taxpayers lose out on this opportunity.

All right, Kendallenian, thank you very much.

Okay. They're just sitting there. You know, I've never heard of this. The FBI director and Homeland Security. Homeland Security has been impeached. FBI director is going to be under investigation. They just say, no, we're not going to do this. Talk about checks and balances and all they scream about is democracy. Msnbc right There. Oh yeah. Okay, well fine. You know, people on the committee said they don't believe them. What the agency is saying. Well, it's so sensitive. It's so sensitive. Maybe should the threat environment. So sensitive. I thought their threat environment was all right wingers. Her mom's going to school boards, her father's trying to get the pornography out of the libraries with the blue haired Marxist librarians. I thought that was it. Oh, the threat environment. Unreal. Welcome to the 6:00 hour. The Attorney General of the great state of Texas joins us. Ken Paxton. Attorney General Paxton, thank you for joining us. Rumor has it you're shortlisted to be talked to by the President states that would be Donald Trump to be Attorney General of these United States. Do you have interest in that job, sir?
