REP. RO KHANNA (D-CA): I think [Deputy Attorney General Todd] Blanche should come here. I think he should, you know, I think he should sit down man to man with you. Go through it. I mean, if he has nothing to hide. Fine, he wants members of Congress to go there. And I’m going to go with Massie and Nancy Mace, and we’re arranging it. Our teams are arranging it. But why not have a real interview? The media that gets three minutes, he does a bunch of his song and dance and, you know, you don’t get real answers. Sit down for two hours.

SHAWN RYAN (HOST): Well, he’s just gonna sit here and lie to my face. We actually had an opportunity for him to be on the show, and I just fucking got ghosted. 

KHANNA: He should come —

RYAN: Set up from within the administration. Never heard. 

KHANNA: But, if he doesn’t wanna come — 

RYAN: Never heard.  

KHANNA: Pam Bondi should come. Some — 

RYAN: But they’re all just going to fucking lie, Ro.
