The following is a transcript of an interview with the Democrat rape gym Hims of the following connecticat, which aired on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brain” on 20 July 2025.
Margaret Brainon: We now turn to the House Intelligence Committee, Representative Jim Hims to the top Democrat. He connects us to connecticut. Good morning to you. Congressman, you are in the Financial Services Committee, then let’s pick up there. The Supreme Court indicated that the President of the United States does not have the right to fire the Fed Chair until the reason is. It seems that the White House is trying to create a case that they are the reason. What happens if they move forward with it?
Congress Jim Hims: Yes, Ok, you know, Margaret, the last question you asked, shows that he is a con man. And I just listened to him. And, you know, if you are more than the age of five, you have dealt with the rights and con men. Everything is going to be great in two weeks. By 1 August, we are going to do a deal. American people are going to be very happy. There is complete failure to understand the facts, isn’t it? He said that tariffs are paid by foreign countries. Tariffs are not paid by abroad. He said, Jay Powell is torturing American people. Margaret, you did not have time, but if you had a minute, you would have said, wait a minute. There is a federal open market committee consisting of seven Fed Governors, and all heads of central bank offices across the country. The committee, which has been included by Democratic and Republican Presidents, has determined the interest rates, right? So, the notion that J Powells are unilaterally preventing the fall in interest rates, which, by the way, in the face- for those who know a little about economics, on the face of up-tiking inflation, which we are seeing, will be absolutely bananas. Therefore, what you saw was a master class by a Hooter and a master class, which uses words like torture which are very, very dangerous words, not only for the economy, but for the physical safety of people like J Powell.
Margaret Brainon: Well, just to be clear, that’s why I said that it is not a unilateral decision of the Speaker for the reason you raised, that there is a committee that decides. The rate of inflation for CPI was 2.7% if you snatch food-energy and food, which is more unstable, it is in two-tenth of one percent. Therefore, the economic data is what we are pointing there, not opinion on pricing. But, is there a pushback of Congress that can be done? I mean, what happens if there is a tweet that says that the fed chair has gone?
Rape. HIMES: Well, the interesting thing is that inside the White House, and I don’t know who it is, I guess that it is probably saying the Treasury Secretary, and it is very difficult to say to a person like Donald Trump, that if you fire the fed chair, or because you do not react to some ballo-locomotor, or because you do not react to a renovation. We saw this day after liberation day, before we were all familiar with Tacco Business. After liberation day, stock and bond markets took a nose. Therefore, I guess that someone is telling the President because he does not care whether he follows the law or not, and the law is very clear that he cannot fire the fed chair. But someone is telling the President, the economic instability caused by the global economy and the cornerstone of the capital markets has a sudden political interest rate policy. I think it’s one thing that is catching them.
Margaret Brainon: Congressman, we are going to take a quick break and will continue our conversations on various subjects. We need to bring it with you to the other side, stay with us.
[COMMERCIAL BREAK]
Margaret Brainan: Welcome to face the nation. We are now continuing our conversation with the Connectic Congress Gym Hims, who is a ranking member in the intelligence committee. Congressman, I want to raise on that subject. A statement of the fact here: The investigation by an bipartished Senate Intelligence Committee found that the US intelligence community assessed the Russian intervention in the 2016 election. He considered it on bilateral basis. I am saying that because today and tomorrow, the director of the intelligence community, Tulsi Gabbard has said that she is referring to the former US officials of the prosecution, which she accused of a traitor conspiracy, a year -long coup against President Trump, as she evaluated that Russia tried to influence the election. A few weeks after the CIA director issued a report criticizing the tradecraft going into that 2016 assessment. Is there any legal basis for any kind of prosecution here?
Rape. HIMES: None, no one at all. Margaret, which you saw from Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, was not just a lie, but a very dangerous lie, because when you start throwing around a language like treason and treason, someone is hurt. Now, you reported that under the leadership of the Senate Committee, then a Republican and now State Secretary Marco Rubio, unanimously found that Russia focused on the election to try to help Donald Trump in the election. Special advocate John Durham appointed by Donald Trump investigated it, found that the Senate report was correct. Now, what Tulsi is doing is a small sleep of the hand, but it is worth focusing. She is saying that the intelligence committee soon said that Russian voting infrastructure cannot use cyber equipment to play with machines, which mix our votes. And this was true then, and this is now true, although the Russians tried to break into some states, you know, election technical infrastructure. They did not do so, but it is well known and well established that the Russians hacked in DNC and started any number of other impact operations including buying a rems of Facebook advertisements to discredit Hillary Clinton. This is not in controversy, isn’t it? And whatever is terrible about this whole lie, is, number one, it puts people at risk. And now, you know, the mug online on the mouth is going out of their brain on the basis of just a lie. And number two, the intelligence community is full of very good people, who do their work every day, and now they are seeing their leader doing something that each of them knows that it is dishonest and it is really a really bad thing for the safety and safety of American people when he is dynamic.
Margaret Brainon: That the Senate report is online, there are conclusions, but I understand your difference there, and it is an important in physical hacking vs. You–
Rape. HIMES:- By- Well Margaret, if I can- if I can, you asked about the referral. Here is the test. This Epstein is again. Criminal referral. We are going to prosecute Barack Obama, you know, traitor and seditious. Here’s the matter, and I hope 4, 5, 6, week from now- do not take it from this democrat. 4,5,6, from now onwards, let’s see if this administration, Tulsi Gabbard accused a former President of treason. Let’s see if they bring allegations. They will not. They will not, because there is no judge in the land, not a single judge who will be heard from Atlantic from Atlantic to Prashant in this country. So its test is 4,5,6 weeks from now, is Doj allegation? And there is no answer. And now we are going to Epstein World. Like we are, wait a minute, a traitor conspiracy by a former President. Why is the justice department not bringing the charge? And the answer to that question is that it is a lie.
Margaret Brainon: Understood. On the second subject, I want to ask you as a Democrat, New York Times- DNC- DNC is reporting the exam that was wrong in the last election, is going to clarify the decisions made by Biden Turn Harris campaign. You were very straight to call the then President Biden to get out of this race. You do not pass your words normally. Do you really feel that it is possible for your party for self-diagnostic problems without seeing the presidential race in the context of candidates?
Rape. HIMES: See, we need to accept and every America saw it on the night of the devastating debate in July before the election that those who were not going to win the Biden election. This was not just clear in the debate. It was clear in the voting that his people were keeping him. Okay, so this is a fact. Now, Democrats are a large tent party. We go from Manchin, which is practically a Republican, for AOC who is a democratic socialist. Therefore, we always have a struggle to come up with a set of policies, a set of messages, and it is particularly difficult when we do not have presidential candidates. You know, a presidential candidate, of course, attracts attention, is like a person, who should run nationwide and speak for the party as a overall. Right now, we are having a lot of conversation with a lot of different ideas, and I think it is very disappointed for Democrats who are very upset with the result of the election. But you know, in addition to fighting with the equipment we have right now, we have introspected what we have done wrong resulting in a dramatic victory by Donald Trump in 2020. There is a lot of anger in the Democratic party, and my message is fine for my democratic friends. I get anger, trust me. I was in a chamber on 6 January 2021, and was worried about my life. But the thing to do now is that to introspect and ask ourselves, what we can do better to appeal to more people, including those who have lost repeatedly in elections.
Margaret Brainan: 15 months out of the midtarm race. Congress Gym Hims, thanks. We will come back right.
*President Donald Trump won the 2024 election. Former President Biden won the 2020 election.
