time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from washington reserves. the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. mcclintock: mr. speaker, i rise in strong support of this resolution which condemns an extremist group known as qanon. i have to admit i only recently heard of this group and didn't know any of the details of their beliefs or tactics until this resolution was brought to us. but from what i have read they are a delusional group that began with an internet post in 2017. they hold the bizarre belief that the federal government is infested with satanic pedophiles who are busy running a global child sex trafficking ring when they are not plotting against president trump. now, i'm tempted to say you can't make this stuff up, but obviously somebody did make this stuff up and given the reach of the internet it is apparently being taken seriously by some extremists who are turning to violence. lest it get out of hand, it is appropriate for the house to speak with one voice on behalf of all of our communities across this great nation in condemnin

the pages of the washington times related to that.t was the house and told chairman that hearing last week. disinformation as he calls it. qanon coming up in that discussion and what he labels right wing groups. >> it should surprise no one --t controversial extreme or engenders the strongest engagement for conspiracy theories and misinformation to cross the internet fringes into the mainstream. this has come to a perilous head with a set of evolving conspiracy theories, delusions and twisted beliefs under the banner of qanon. they echo anti-semitic tropes, often amplify white supremacy, all while positing the existing of an all-powerful cabal of people you lead to traffic children and must be defeated. thenst the backdrop of global pandemic, associated lockdowns and preventive measures, the movement has witnessed a huge spike in visibility and followers. emic videoous pland was boosted by qanon supporters and earned some 8 million views prior to removal from social media. host: that hearing took place last week. you can find it onlin

apparently that woul "washington times" and"new york "politico" are the only ones who can verify the story now. host: you have put enough emphasis on the show. do you have a question on your guest -- for our guest? caller: please don't cut me off. you will have me calling another 30 days. it is important where the show is going. the "new york post" is the fourth-largest paper in the country for 200 years and you don't have one person from the "new york post" every morning since thursday. host: ok. thank you for the suggestion. we will take it. you have a question or comment for our guest? caller: it is not a suggestion. stop taking your orders from the democrats. host: retake no orders from anybody, sir. i will infinitely -- emphatically say that. i know that you have your viewpoint or opinion but if you look back over the course of our program, i think overall you will find we provide an even balance of opinions particularly on topics of politics or everything else. we appreciate your time. we go to texas, a supporter of joe biden. hello. caller: good morning and thank you. i apprec

shop and he later gave the materials to president attorney, that shop owner as according to the washington times told that to a senate committee. >> when you confirm that to an official government body you're putting yourself at legal risk if you're lying so you know, let's get it all out. i want to hear what joe biden has tosay about these emails . did he for instance get any money from his brother and his son? did he get money from them? where was that money coming ey from and we want the details about where hunter biden was gettingmoney ? the scandal of the biden issue is significant obviously. i'm concerned about why the justice department andfbi had been sitting on this for almost a year . whathave they been doing ? attorney general barr said i don't see any evidence about obama involvement, they're not going to be investigated or pursuedelegantly . did he know about the laptop at the time and if not, why not ? >> what's the likelihood any other information from the justice department or fbi is going to come up so close to the election ? >> we may just get documents in the ordinary course o
