STEVE BANNON (HOST): This is what I don't get. The weaponization committee, Jim Jordan, why are they not calling in – why are they letting [Attorney General Merrick] Garland go to Ukraine. Why are they not coming in and keelhauling him today? Why are we not having an emergency hearing on these very topics?
...
MIKE DAVIS (GUEST): Well on the first part, about why isn't the House Weaponization Committee calling a hearing today, it's because it's structurally set up to fail, right? They don't have a dedicated chairman, they don't have a dedicated staff director, they don't have a dedicated staff. Right? They have five people who work for Jim Jordan on the full committee who have a thousand other things to do who are doing this as their night job, apparently, on the weaponization committee.
...
This weaponization committee has a two-million-dollar budget with five staffers who do a bunch of other stuff. So it's just structurally set up to fail. Jim Jordan did, last week, after I raised holy hell, he did put in a request to the House Administration Committee to ask for 15 more million dollars, so we can staff this thing up. But here we are, four months into – two months into this new Congress, four months after the election, we should be off to a running start.
...
The reason is this is a failure on Jim Jordan's part. He thought he was going to run this committee on his own, with his full committee staff, who have a thousand other things going on, and it's structurally set up to fail. It needs to be fixed immediately.
Frankly, Jim Jordan should just hand off this weaponization committee to someone who actually wants to do it. If he wants to stay on as the chairman, make someone the vice chairman, right, so he can save some face and let that person do the damn job. This is too important for Jim Jordan's BS that he does.
He did the same thing on big tech, he pretends like he's fighting big tech but he's actually doing big tech's bidding behind the scenes. He pretends he's taking on the deep state by rolling up his sleeves and going on Fox News and taking credit for other people's oversight. This needs to be taken seriously and Jim Jordan is just not a serious person.
