For Encounter Books’s “Close Encounters” video series, I interviewed Rep. Devin Nunes in connection with his new broadside Countdown to Socialism.

• Rep. Nunes’ expectations regarding the U.S. Attorney John Durham probe
• The corruption of the media, Big Tech, and Rep. Nunes’ theory of the “disinformation funnel”
• The costs of the Russiagate hoax to American national security
• Rep. Nunes’ chilling observations regarding the coronavirus shutdowns
• The truth about Democrat vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ political ascent
• The criticality of the 2020 election
