Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs. Welcome to The Great America Show. Thanks for being here. Great
00:01:22.960
to have you with us. Marxist Dems Special Counsel Jack Smith caught once again in controversy
00:01:28.820
and abuse of power. The junkyard Jackal Smith and Obama-appointed Judge Beryl Howell are trying
00:01:36.600
now to cover up the fact they both suggested President Trump was a flight risk. That's right,
00:01:42.280
a flight risk trying to justify the non-disclosure order when President Trump's Twitter account was
00:01:49.480
illegally searched earlier this year. That according to newly released court documents.
00:01:55.580
Smith admitted he included inaccurate information, as he put it, when he asked Judge Beryl Howell for a
00:02:02.360
secret search warrant for Trump's Twitter account. Alon Musk's Twitter was fined $350,000
00:02:09.740
because it delayed producing the subpoenaed records. Twitter argued the non-disclosure order violated
00:02:17.340
Donald Trump's First Amendment rights. Biden's corrupt Justice Department, of course, working in great
00:02:23.600
secrecy, obtained a non-disclosure order that prohibited Twitter from informing Trump about the
00:02:30.660
subpoena. Can you imagine that? Smith lying to the court to keep it secret by saying the former
00:02:37.560
president was a flight risk for crying out loud. To be clear, Jack Smith is evil and he is doing evil
00:02:45.980
and he is working with federal judges every bit as awful as he is. President Biden, to be correct the
00:02:54.300
puppet president Joe Biden, was in Pueblo, Colorado this week touring the largest wind tower manufacturer
00:03:01.220
in the world. Of course, pushing his green energy nonsense. And boy, was he having some really bad
00:03:07.960
cognitive moments. A hard time reading off teleprompter. No one had a clue what he meant to say.
00:03:14.740
Let's take a listen now to a few of Biden's greatest gaffes of the week. As you listen, remember,
00:03:21.640
there are all sorts of Marxist Dems who are pretending that this man is actually the president of the United
00:03:28.580
States actually in charge and not merely the puppet he really is. Here in Colorado, the wind turbine
00:03:36.660
manufacturing Vistas is investing $40 million to expand his factory and hire an additional 1,000
00:03:45.700
employees. Solar manufacturer Meyer Berger is building a new solar cell factory just down the road in
00:03:53.480
Colorado Springs. When I took office, since then, the first two years, we created over 14 million
00:04:01.260
brand new jobs, good paying jobs. By the way, I cut the federal deficit of over $7 billion while doing
00:04:09.560
all this. Instead of cutting them, it's like Congressman Trump and Beau want to do. I've said this and I've said
00:04:17.660
this to Deng Xiaoping and the Himalayas and I've said this to every world leader. It's never, never,
00:04:25.540
never been a good bet to bet against the American people. Never, never, never. Just a quick fact
00:04:32.400
check on a few of those. Biden did not cut the federal deficit by $7 billion. The federal budget is
00:04:40.700
right at $7 trillion though, but we don't know if there's any correlation. And no, Biden didn't create
00:04:46.980
more than 14 million new jobs. And no, President Donald Trump is not a congressman. And lastly,
00:04:54.160
we think Biden was trying to say Xi Jinping. What he said was Deng Xiaoping, who died in 1997.
00:05:03.720
He's considered the architect of modern China. Perhaps Biden's best gaffe of the week though came
00:05:09.240
on a hot mic when he was meeting with factory workers where he told one of the gentlemen,
00:05:14.380
his Marines have a code that could blow up the world. Here he is.
00:05:25.300
Now look, my Marine carries that and has a code to blow up the world.
00:05:31.120
That doesn't, this is not nuclear weapons, is it?
00:05:35.220
Remarkably, those factory workers didn't seem too alarmed as he was muttering such nonsense.
00:05:44.640
I wish I could tell you all of these clips didn't really happen, that this is all a joke,
00:05:49.360
but it's not. This is our reality. This man is the leader of the free world, or at least the puppet,
00:05:55.940
the puppet figurehead, the puppet figurehead that the national news media pretends is actually the
00:06:02.900
president, run by God knows who. Our guest today is James Comer. He is the chairman of the House
00:06:09.900
Oversight Committee and a great American. Mr. Chairman, great to have you with us. And this is
00:06:15.260
once again an action-packed week for you and your committee. You've discovered so much evidence
00:06:20.960
against President Biden and his family over the past year. Now you have an email from a bank
00:06:27.440
investigator, a bank money laundering investigator, who years ago raised alarms about Biden money
00:06:35.360
laundering. If you would, please give us a sense of its importance and your judgment.
00:06:41.620
Well, it's a very significant email, Lou, because to me, that's a snapshot of the thought process
00:06:46.920
that a bank would use before they issued a suspicious activity report, which is a major
00:06:52.720
bank violation that's filed with Treasury when a bank notifies the Treasury cabinet that they suspect
00:06:58.600
their customer has committed a crime. Remember, the Bidens have over 170 suspicious activity reports,
00:07:06.920
which is probably more than any family in America. And the bank examiner identified several red flags.
00:07:16.540
First of all, you had a $5 million wire from China into a pretty much dormant checking account.
00:07:24.440
The company that owned the checking account had no purpose, which meant it was a shell company. It
00:07:30.260
was a fake company. That's what the examiners say. It was a shell company that suddenly gets a $5
00:07:37.000
million wire. The fact that the owner of the company was a politically exposed person, which I'm a
00:07:44.740
politically exposed. Anyone that's high up in politics would be a politically exposed person.
00:07:49.200
And that politically exposed person was a term put in, I believe, when Dodd-Frank passed to make
00:07:54.220
sure that politicians don't get special interest rates or special deals. So you, for the bank examiners,
00:08:00.340
they look at politically exposed people to make sure the bank's not giving them a sweetheart deal or
00:08:04.360
whatever. But with this politically exposed person, you get $5 million wire. You already got a shell
00:08:10.740
company. And they looked at reports from Biden, who is the politically exposed person, and realized
00:08:18.700
that through his statements that his ex-wife made, he had a drug problem and he was in financial
00:08:23.520
trouble. They also knew that China was trying to buy influence with American politicians through
00:08:29.580
vulnerable children. And they felt like this could be a national security threat, that the Bidens could be
00:08:35.780
involved in a bribery scheme. So you have bribery, you have money laundering, you have tax evasion. The list goes on
00:08:42.560
and on. There's so much information in that one paragraph of that email. And again, that is a conversation
00:08:49.900
between the top money laundering examiner for one of the nation's biggest banks, and his superior about the
00:09:00.900
concern that they have with their client. And to get a sense of this, to have that examiner,
00:09:11.040
that investigator, providing some oversight, if you will, of what's going on to make these statements,
00:09:19.420
and for those statements to be ignored, and not and no action to be taken. You talked about being
00:09:26.820
politically exposed. At that moment, that big old bank is politically exposed, and it's criminally
00:09:34.360
exposed, is it not? It is. And the banks know that. The banks take this very seriously, because as you
00:09:40.280
know, Lou, the bank examiners come in. Anytime the bank files a suspicious activity report, that invites
00:09:46.240
the examiners to come in. Banks don't want to file these, despite what the Washington Post will try to
00:09:51.560
make you believe, that everybody gets a suspicious activity report. They try to, I think they get a
00:09:56.940
suspicious activity report confused with an overdraft fee. Right. No, banks don't want to file these
00:10:02.500
because it invites examiners to come in. If you're a politically exposed person, and you get a suspicious
00:10:07.660
activity report, the examiners will fly from whatever city they live to that bank to go in there to
00:10:15.160
immediately examine that. So normally, and I've said this before, banks don't file suspicious
00:10:21.600
activity reports against prominent clients without communicating with them first. And it looks to me
00:10:27.440
like that examiner asked what that $5 million wire was, right? Because he said that they suggested,
00:10:37.560
the Biden suggested it was a loan. And again, look, everything that we've come up with, they said is
00:10:43.560
a loan. But I have their bank statements. And let me tell you, they've never made hardly any payments
00:10:49.300
on any of these loans. And that $5 million, if that were a loan, if they listed that as a loan,
00:10:55.120
that puts them at over $13 million in loans that the Biden family has taken, that just Hunter and
00:11:04.960
Jim Biden have taken. $13 million in loans. And they don't have, I bet their net worth isn't a million
00:11:11.800
dollars. And you're a banker, you're a financial guy, you know, that's not possible. And what it
00:11:20.420
looks like is tax evasion here. Because if you claim something as a loan, you don't have to report
00:11:27.700
it on your taxes. So the bank examiners take this stuff very seriously. And when Biden said it was a
00:11:35.580
loan, he did what I said when Joe Biden claimed those two checks, one for $200,000, one for $40,000,
00:11:41.400
that was written to Joe Biden, we've talked about on your show. He said those were loan repayments.
00:11:47.100
And I said, well, provide the documents to prove it was a loan repayment. He couldn't do that
00:11:51.080
because it wasn't a loan. So the bank examiner said, oh, okay, if that's a $5 million loan,
00:11:56.160
we need the bank documents, or we need the loan documents for the bank examiners.
00:12:02.160
Because the bank examiners will see this, and they will say, if it's a loan, we need the loan
00:12:07.880
documents to prove it. They could not produce loan documents, because it was not a loan.
00:12:14.120
And the suspicious, the SARS, all of them, coming down, you've got all of the questions by the
00:12:24.080
examiner, providing oversight, and the examiners following up on the books of the bank.
00:12:32.060
At this point, you've got, it seems to me, commendable evidence of highly irregular and,
00:12:43.040
frankly, on its face, illegal activity. And the activity extends to the bank if they didn't do
00:12:50.740
something about it in terms of their examiners. So this is getting, I would think that there's some
00:12:58.660
people getting a little tight-throated about it now, whether they're in banking or whether they're
00:13:03.660
in the Biden family. Right. And, you know, the fact that the Bidens had 170 suspicious activity
00:13:10.840
reports, and then they were subject of another at least 50, that's 220 suspicious activity report,
00:13:19.780
basically by one person, filed with the Treasury cabinet. But yet, Joe Biden wants to act like he
00:13:29.500
didn't know. He didn't, no one at Treasury ever said, Mr. President, your son has 220 major bank
00:13:36.280
violations. Yeah. That's hard to believe. But then another thing, the last thing I want to make about
00:13:42.060
that $500,000 wire, Lou, is $40,000 of that ended up in Joe Biden's bank account. That $40,000 check
00:13:50.600
from Joe Biden came from that $5 million wire. We did it in the last video I produced. $5 million
00:14:00.680
came from China. They wired $400,000 to a Wasco, which was supposed to be the deal Joe Biden was
00:14:07.640
10% owner of. And then Joe gets 10% of that $400,000, which is $40,000. That's where Joe Biden
00:14:17.100
plays into all this. That $5 million wire that they claimed was a loan to the bank examiner
00:14:22.320
is in fact $40,000 of Joe Biden's income that he claimed was a loan as well.
00:14:32.400
So you have all of this money. You have all of these transactions. You have all of these shell
00:14:41.040
companies. It looks like a video game when you chart it out. To what purpose? To what end?
00:14:51.140
Because I go back to this. I've been following you and your investigation since
00:14:55.880
Janet Yellen wouldn't let you have those SARS. The Treasury Secretary of the United States
00:15:03.520
prevented the House Oversight Committee chairman from having those SARs. That was a politically
00:15:10.840
exposed person too, again, and as unethical as it could possibly be. Janet Yellen, former Federal
00:15:19.020
Reserve chairman, economist, and she is up to her ear balls in political dirty tricks and trying to
00:15:28.840
block the United States Congress as well. Yeah, look, the chairman of the Oversight Committee
00:15:36.760
has never been blocked from Treasury before from getting a Suspicious Act report. She blocked us for
00:15:42.520
several months, but to her credit, she finally let us in. But in the beginning when she blocked us,
00:15:47.260
Lou, she's like, I don't understand why you all would want to see these. Like, there's really
00:15:51.120
nothing to see here. And it's the same thing that happened when I called Christopher Wray
00:15:56.140
asking about the 1023 form that alleged Joe Biden took a bribe in Ukraine. He tried to act like,
00:16:03.960
oh, I don't know what you're talking about. There's no 1023 form about Joe Biden. Then when he found
00:16:09.240
out I actually had a copy that someone had snuck out to me, then he changed his tune, kind of like
00:16:14.880
Janet Yellen. Yeah, it's extraordinary. We're talking with the chairman of the House Oversight
00:16:20.040
Committee, Congressman James Comer. We're going to, as soon as we take a quick break here,
00:16:26.780
we're going to take up what looks like absolute certain evidence of President Biden's involvement
00:16:33.820
in his son's business dealings. Physical content evidence, it's called, I believe.
00:16:40.800
The Democrats have been asking for it. Well, on the other side of this commercial break,
00:16:45.960
it'll be your day. We're coming right back with Congressman James Comer.
00:16:55.660
We're back. We're talking with Congressman James Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight
00:17:00.020
Committee. And I do a radio show on WABC each Sunday, and we have call-ins. And I enjoy those call-ins
00:17:10.080
and the questions. But occasionally, we get a call from someone saying, you know, there's
00:17:14.380
no direct link between Joe Biden and all of this highly suspicious activity. There are
00:17:22.700
Republicans who actually even call in to say that same thing. Sounds like you've got that
00:17:30.380
Yeah, I think we've had it for a long time, Lou, but we get a little bit more every day.
00:17:34.460
Remember, $40,000 of that $5 million wire from China that the Bidens can't explain what they
00:17:42.460
did to get it, that ended up in Joe Biden's back pocket. That's a fact. Joe Biden said he
00:17:49.500
never communicated with his son about his business dealings. Joe Biden said there was an absolute
00:17:54.440
wall between the government and his family's financial schemes. What we found was emails between
00:18:02.520
the White House and the Biden business associates and schemes, but they were in pseudonyms. So Joe
00:18:10.920
Biden was using a fake name on his government email to communicate back and forth with not just his
00:18:17.880
son, but his son's shady business associates about things the government had planned in those countries
00:18:26.300
where they were getting the millions and millions of dollars. Joe Biden said he never met any of the
00:18:31.080
people that his family received money from. We've proven he met with them all, Lou, every one of
00:18:38.400
them. In fact, some of them he had dinner with at Cafe Milano. So we've proven that Joe Biden's gotten
00:18:46.160
money from the deal. We've proven that Joe Biden met with all these people, even the AmeriCorps health
00:18:52.440
people where he got his $200,000 from. The company in Florida, the healthcare company that failed,
00:18:59.080
he actually met with them with his brother before his brother got the $600,000 loan from them that he
00:19:06.600
never paid back. I mean, Joe Biden was involved in everything. And at the end of the day, Lou,
00:19:13.840
does anyone with any common sense believe that these people were just giving the Biden family millions and
00:19:20.920
millions of dollars because they liked Hunter Biden? No, they were doing this for access to Joe Biden.
00:19:28.820
And that's what Devin Archer said in the transcribed interview we had with him. He said the Bidens were
00:19:34.540
selling the brand and Joe Biden was the brand. And the brand was doing things and getting paid for
00:19:43.620
the for the influence that attends that brand. Let's let's go to the issue here. And that is the impeachment
00:19:54.840
inquiry. With all the evidence you have, with all that is wrong with this picture on its face, an impeachment
00:20:04.460
from the House is not a jury trial. It is a charge, is it not? That's right. It seems to me that and I'm
00:20:16.520
going to say this, perhaps I don't mean it unkindly, but the new speaker shouldn't have any reason to
00:20:22.180
hesitate in moving ahead with that, that inquiry and concluding it with an impeachment of President Joe
00:20:31.500
Biden. Am I wrong? No, you're, you're absolutely right. And I'll, I'll say this. He, he does not
00:20:38.280
have any hesitation. The, the problem has always been getting, getting the 217, 218, whatever we need
00:20:48.080
votes. As you know, our conference has been broken for, for many months now, and there are a lot of hard
00:20:55.420
feelings. But I think the message that I'm giving to our conference and Jim Jordan and I are going to
00:21:01.380
present this week to the conference where we are, and we're going to ask for a vote on the floor to,
00:21:11.460
to certify the impeachment inquiry, because that's what you, that's what some people think needs to
00:21:20.800
happen. It depends on who you ask. And you know, the, the, as Republicans, we talk about
00:21:28.080
holding bad actors in the government accountable for wrongdoing. I mean, Joe Biden has lied to the
00:21:34.900
American people over and over and over about his knowledge and involvement in his family's business
00:21:39.620
dealings. 65% of Americans believe that according to every liberal poll in America. So it's probably
00:21:46.420
more like 75%. And that's with no one in the mainstream media covering this, or when they do,
00:21:52.900
they say no to evidence. So, you know, our conference is going to have to get together.
00:21:58.380
And again, it, you know, we, you know, six or seven members that, that, you know, are always a little
00:22:04.420
squishy. And we're going to say, look, we've got to do everything possible to give the oversight
00:22:11.760
committee, the judiciary committee, every power they can have to get documentation. The reason
00:22:17.920
at the very least, our conference should vote to make a impeachment inquiry, a official or whatever
00:22:25.980
the certified is the fact that this administration refuses to turn over documents. This administration
00:22:34.040
refuses to come and be deposed or to testify. And at the end of the day, why would, why would the
00:22:43.360
White House or the National Archives not turn over the tens of thousands of pseudonym email? Why would
00:22:51.140
the National Archives not tell us where any of those classified documents that Joe Biden mishandled,
00:22:58.520
were any of them related to Ukraine, Russia, or China? That's all we want to know. You don't have to tell us.
00:23:04.620
What they were, I mean, we would prefer you tell us what they are, but were they involved in any of
00:23:09.520
these countries? They know we're investigating this family for bribery, for receiving tens of
00:23:16.160
millions of dollars from our enemies around the world. And they know that the families never said
00:23:21.100
what they did to receive the money. Were they sending classified documents to them? We need to know
00:23:27.100
these things. Every American deserves the truth. And the only reason we don't have more answers to
00:23:33.340
these questions, though, is because of the obstruction from this White House and this
00:23:37.520
administration. The banks are working with us. Everyone in the private sector that we've subpoenaed
00:23:42.440
for information has either provided it or in the process of providing it. The one obstacle,
00:23:47.800
and it's a big one, has been the government, the FBI, the DOJ, the IRS, the National Archives, the White House.
00:23:56.600
Those are the obstacles to this investigation. And that's what we need to do. And Mike Johnson's all
00:24:03.920
in favor of that. Hopefully, we'll get that vote through next week.
00:24:08.100
You know, you talked about those obstacles. It sounds like straight up obstruction of Congress.
00:24:14.020
And on that basis alone, an impeachment would be in order. It is hard, I think, for a lot of people.
00:24:22.440
You talk about 65 to 75 percent of Americans understand what's going on here. They look at the
00:24:27.200
evidence. They see what is real and what is just simply a defensive blather on the part of a, you
00:24:33.680
know, I think you described their spokesman there at the White House one time. Well, I'm not going to
00:24:38.380
repeat that, but you can. You can. But I thought it was accurate. I thought you were highly accurate.
00:24:45.080
Accurate. And to look at this and see the hesitation on the part of, you know, a few appropriators,
00:24:54.420
some, you know, broken hearts, apparently. We're talking about the existential decisions that will
00:25:02.640
be taken now for this republic. This is not a time for the cowardly defenses of their little hurt
00:25:13.220
feelings. I mean, we're talking about the future of this republic. And I can't imagine for the life of
00:25:20.660
me why anyone would play games in your conference with the conclusion of this impeachment inquiry,
00:25:27.540
because the nation depends on the outcome. That's right. And let me be clear, 98 percent
00:25:34.840
of our conference strongly supports impeachment inquiry. And I would say it's about the same
00:25:40.360
percentage on impeachment. The problem is we have to have 99.5 percent to move, right? 99.6 percent,
00:25:49.580
I guess, to move forward. And we're working to try to get that. It shouldn't be this difficult.
00:25:55.680
It shouldn't be this difficult, Lou, to make cuts to the federal budget. But it has been,
00:26:01.060
unfortunately. So again, I know people look back and they say, oh, my gosh, why haven't Congress cut
00:26:07.560
more spending? At the end of the day, 95 percent of our conference wants to make some pretty
00:26:13.280
significant cuts. We've got about 5 percent for whatever reason that don't. And, you know,
00:26:18.460
there's no margin for error when you when you can only lose two votes. I mean, the odds are that
00:26:25.540
Santos is probably going to be expelled from Congress, which the fact that Congress will expel
00:26:31.000
Santos, but they won't expel Mayorkas or Biden. That's not anything that I can understand very
00:26:42.020
clearly. But at the end of the day, I think that I think our conference is going to get there only
00:26:46.620
because we've proven so much evidence and the fact that this administration is obstructing Don
00:26:51.640
Bacon. He's one of the more moderate members, someone I respect. He was, I believe, a general
00:26:57.600
in the in the Air Force. Brigadier general. Brigadier general. And he said to CNN, they asked him if he
00:27:06.540
would support impeachment inquiry. I know they asked him that because he thought he would say no. And
00:27:09.840
he said, yeah. He said that they've proven a lot of evidence. You know, there's some things we need
00:27:14.620
to find out about. And he said, and this administration's not cooperating. They're obstructing.
00:27:19.600
So, yeah, I'm going to vote for it. And the CNN anchor about faded, Luke. So, you know, that's that's a
00:27:25.720
good sign. I think we're getting there. But it's been hard. I mean, it's been hard to get there or
00:27:30.260
we'd have probably been a little further along. But, you know, the the longer this investigation
00:27:35.860
lasts, the more evidence we find. We found that email that we released that showed what the bank
00:27:43.640
thought about all the crimes the Biden's were committed. That that's a good piece of evidence
00:27:47.860
there. Well, evidence aplenty. And we're going to take up the politics aplenty when we continue
00:27:54.340
with Congressman James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee. Stay with us.
00:28:05.500
We're back with the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer. Congressman,
00:28:10.300
let's turn to Hunter Biden, the subpoenas that have been put forward and your judgment about the
00:28:16.580
responses that you've received. Yeah, well, I think everyone we've subpoenaed has responded
00:28:24.300
in some form or fashion. Usually what happens or always what happens when when someone receives
00:28:30.180
a subpoena from Congress, they hire an attorney and the attorney contacts our staff attorney on
00:28:36.780
oversight. So they try to negotiate a time and the parameters, whether it's going to be a deposition,
00:28:43.440
whether it's going to be a transcribed interview, what questions can be asked, what questions can't
00:28:48.900
be asked, how long will the deposition last, things like that. So every single person that we've
00:28:54.860
actually subpoenaed in this last round, which is around 10, they have all we've heard from their
00:29:01.120
attorneys and they're we're we're waiting back. But, you know, you just you wonder if Abby Lowell and
00:29:07.800
the big the big attorney isn't telling them all to stand down or whatever. But, you know, at the end of the
00:29:14.080
day, if they don't comply with our subpoenas, then I am confident that we will be able to hold
00:29:20.460
them in contempt because our members of Congress expect people to comply with our congressional
00:29:27.100
subpoenas from my committee because we've done this the right way. We've checked every box. We
00:29:32.520
dotted every I and crossed every T to get to this point. And you mentioned Abby Lowell, the attorney
00:29:39.720
for Hunter Biden. His response to the committee sounded extraordinary to me, extraordinarily arrogant,
00:29:50.420
suggesting he would set the terms for what is a standard congressional procedure, which is a private
00:29:58.800
transcribed interview before going to public testimony. Is that not correct?
00:30:05.100
That is correct. And what they try to do is work with the media to spin a narrative like, oh,
00:30:09.420
they were talking about a closed door deposition. That's how depositions are conducted. That's how
00:30:14.480
Adam Schiff did the both Trump impeachments. That's how the January 6th committee operates.
00:30:20.660
You do depositions, then you have the hearing. Someone said, oh, we want to have a hearing like
00:30:25.140
the January 6th committee. Well, they did depositions and then they taped them and then they broadcast them
00:30:31.060
in a production. You know, they didn't have very many witnesses in the January 6th committee.
00:30:35.620
They played clips from their depositions. The difference in a deposition in a hearing, Lou,
00:30:41.420
in a hearing, you go five minutes back and forth, 25 members, five minutes back and forth.
00:30:47.000
You might get 35, maybe 40 questions in on our side to Hunter Biden. In the deposition, we could get
00:30:53.860
four to 600 questions in. We have a lot of questions, Lou. There are a lot of shell companies,
00:31:00.440
a lot of wire transfers from our enemies around the world, a lot of Bidens who benefited from
00:31:06.580
these. You can't get that in in a committee hearing. So just because Hunter Biden got special
00:31:13.160
treatment from the Department of Justice, from the IRS, from the FBI, that doesn't mean he's going to
00:31:20.260
get special treatment from Congress. We set the rules. We're not doing anything any differently than
00:31:27.460
any other investigation in the history of America. We have built up the evidence. Now we're in the
00:31:35.340
deposition phase, which signals you're at the end of the investigation, and then we'll issue our report.
00:31:42.680
But the deposition phase is an obvious piece of the puzzle. I mean, why would you spend nine months
00:31:49.300
investigating? We have 20,000 plus pages of documents. Those are a lot of questions that we need to ask
00:31:57.000
to be able to conclude the outcome of this investigation. So Abby Law is trying to create
00:32:07.240
a false narrative. Like they said, remember, they said, oh, the laptop's not real. It's Russian
00:32:11.460
disinformation. And then when the stuff came out on Brisbane, oh, that's not true. That was all Rudy
00:32:16.160
Giuliani. You know, they try to create these false narratives. Now they're saying, well, he's wanting to do
00:32:21.020
a closed door deposition. I've never heard of such. I mean, they're just, they're just liars. And look,
00:32:25.540
Abby Law, everybody's scared to death of Abby Law. He's representing Menendez too. Okay. He's
00:32:32.240
representing Menendez. The guy they caught for the umpteenth time taking bribes from, from foreign
00:32:39.700
actors. They just pulled a bunch of gold bars out of his refrigerator or something a couple of weeks
00:32:44.740
ago. Abby Law got him off the first time. Abby Law is representing him again. We do these depositions.
00:32:50.200
Abby Law can sit between both his clients. He can have Menendez on this side and Hunter
00:32:55.500
Biden on this side. And they can talk about how innocent they are in this influence peddling.
00:33:00.060
They'll get their public hearing. I want a public hearing after we do the depositions.
00:33:05.640
Well, and that public hearing could be, I think, certainly revelatory to the public. I also think,
00:33:13.220
you know, it'd be lovely to see those depositions. Will you make those depositions public as well?
00:33:18.080
Yeah, absolutely. 100%. That's, that's what is so offensive about what the, the media is trying to
00:33:26.500
spin on behalf of the Biden legal team that, oh, these are closed door. No one will ever know.
00:33:32.620
Everything we've done in this committee has been transparent. I would argue this is the most
00:33:36.820
transparent congressional investigation in history. We've produced four bank memorandums.
00:33:42.220
When I say they had a shell company, I list the shell company. When I say they got a wire from,
00:33:47.700
from China, we list the wire from the bank. We have everything that we've said, we've produced
00:33:53.720
evidence. This isn't Adam Schiff saying, oh, there's a Steele dossier. Trust me, it's bad. I mean,
00:34:01.140
that's what the Democrats have always done. We have produced evidence with everything, with everything.
00:34:07.220
Again, we do these depositions, we will release the transcripts. The only time since I've been
00:34:13.480
sure of this committee, a transcript hasn't been released is if it pertained to classified
00:34:17.460
information. So yes, everyone in America will know exactly what is said in this deposition. If you
00:34:25.460
call, it's written in the transcript. So they will know, and we will continue to be very transparent.
00:34:32.400
Well, I've got to answer you a question because it occurs to me that with all of the pattern of
00:34:39.800
questionable dealings, the illegal dealings, money laundering, shell companies, everything,
00:34:49.040
have you correlated at any point when the seemingly illegal activity, the checks stopped,
00:34:59.020
the banks suddenly weren't getting quite the same amount of money. Is there that point that you've
00:35:07.680
correlated that somehow suddenly the Biden enterprise came to a standstill?
00:35:14.040
Yeah, I think that there were different phases. I think there have been three phases in this
00:35:19.820
scheme with the Bidens, in my opinion. The first phase happened from 2014 to 2018. They're straight
00:35:30.040
up influence peddling and accepting wires through the shell companies and then laundering down to the
00:35:36.340
Biden family members. Then they started changing the way they operated. And now we know from the
00:35:41.620
Irish whistleblower notes that about, you know, end of 2018, the IRS rolls in on them. And like,
00:35:48.920
whoa, I mean, all these suspicious activity reports, all these shell companies, all this money laundering,
00:35:53.960
you know, what are y'all doing? And they knew, they knew the game was over. So then they started going
00:36:00.840
and saying everything was alone. Then you don't have to report alone. Then nobody, then the IRS wouldn't
00:36:07.060
know about it. They started taking in and calling everything alone. Then once Joe Biden became the
00:36:13.740
nominee for president, then something had to change again, right? And it looks to me like
00:36:22.340
the influence peddling is still going on, but it's going on through the sale of artwork. And that's why
00:36:30.260
we brought in the, or we've, we've subpoenaed George Burgess, the art gallery owner, to find out
00:36:38.560
who in the world is buying this art. I wonder if it's not the same people that have been wiring the
00:36:44.840
Biden family members. And, you know, there's a pattern with the people that were sending the
00:36:48.260
Biden's money through these wires. They were all in trouble. They were all in trouble. They were all
00:36:54.060
wanting to do something that couldn't be done. China was wanting to be able to remove the barriers
00:36:58.740
so they could start taking over different industries. Uh, the Burisma people wanted the
00:37:04.100
prosecutor fired the Romanian, uh, nationalist. He was in trouble for corruption. He was wanting
00:37:11.580
help. The, the Russian oligarch didn't want to be sanctioned. You know, everybody that sent
00:37:18.900
the Biden's money were in some tour, some type of trouble. The, the healthcare company, they were
00:37:25.700
about to go bankrupt. They needed money, an infusion of cash from the middle East. Everybody
00:37:30.980
fits a pattern of needing something from the government. And through it all, the Biden family
00:37:39.720
has to be the most protected family ever in the history of the United States, whether it's a secret
00:37:45.520
service covering for a bag of cocaine and the white house, whether it is, uh, refusing to give up
00:37:52.260
visitor logs, uh, the, the FBI and its intervention with the department of justice in an IRS investigation.
00:38:00.180
And the list goes on and on. And nearly every agency has cocooned the Biden's here. Have you ever
00:38:09.060
seen anything like it? No, this is an example of the deep state. And this is a line in the sand for
00:38:16.260
the deep state. I don't think the deep state really cares about Joe Biden. They care about self
00:38:21.860
preservation. And in order for them to continue to exist, they need a weak president who they know
00:38:33.540
is compromised, who they cannot, uh, ever doubt will try to go in and make significant reforms or
00:38:41.060
disrupt the way they operate. Their worst fear in the world, Lou, is that Donald Trump comes back into
00:38:47.860
power and go straight after the deep state actors. So this is a, this is a matter of self-preservation
00:38:55.780
for the Bidens. It has nothing to do with the fact that Joe Biden's a great president or someone they
00:39:00.420
like or respect. This is about self-preservation for the deep state. And one concluding question,
00:39:08.660
if I may, uh, everyone is on pins and needles, uh, to see whether or not this can be, uh, the
00:39:16.740
impeachment inquiry concluded, uh, this year. Do you think it will be this year? I think that, uh,
00:39:23.860
we'll have a vote this year. And I think that, uh, it'll be certified that we have an official
00:39:28.900
impeachment inquiry. Uh, but you know, the depositions will probably last through December and January.
00:39:34.820
So, you know, we're trying to wrap it up. That's why, you know, if the administration will cooperate
00:39:40.260
with us and if our witnesses will come in, uh, and do their depositions, then, then maybe,
00:39:45.780
but more than likely the, the end of January. Well, Mr. Chairman, we always give our guests
00:39:50.820
the last word, uh, your concluding thoughts. And I want to just say, uh, thanks so much for your time
00:39:55.520
today. And thanks for all that you and your committee are doing for the country. Well, thank you, Lou,
00:40:00.180
for, for keeping people informed on this. It's very difficult, uh, to do the right thing to try
00:40:06.980
to provide the American people the truth and transparency when you have so many in the media
00:40:12.900
who are, you know, not only are they not covering this, not only are they not trying to, uh, investigate
00:40:20.420
wrongdoing, they're attacking me and my committee for having the audacity to investigate public
00:40:27.540
corruption at the highest level. So anytime we have, uh, someone like you that has a big following
00:40:32.980
that that's trying to get the truth to the American people, it's, it's very appreciated by,
00:40:37.540
by me and everyone on my committee. Thank you, sir. Appreciate it. Congressman James Comer,
00:40:42.980
chairman of the house oversight committee. God bless you. Thank you, Lou. Thanks everybody for
00:40:48.100
being with us here today. Follow me on Twitter and true social at Lou Dobbs on Facebook and Instagram
00:40:53.860
