00:00:33.920 Hello, everybody. I'm John Fawcett and welcome to The Great America Show.

00:00:37.140 It's great to have you with us.

00:00:38.980 Yesterday, Lou sat down with House Oversight Chairman James Comer to get a sense of where the Biden impeachment inquiry is right now and where it's going.

00:00:46.180 We're going to bring you that interview in just a few moments, but first, let's get to some news of the day.

00:00:50.860 A huge victory for President Trump this week out of New York.

00:00:53.340 A New York appellate court ruled that President Trump no longer has to pay that nearly half a billion dollar bond that was due on Monday.

00:01:00.360 Instead, he now has to post a $175 million bond within the next nine days.

00:01:05.300 Trump was asked by the media how and when he plans to pay that bond.

00:01:09.340 His answer was simple. Cash.

00:01:11.020 Trump says the Marxist Dems want to drain him of his money so he can't use it in his campaign to fight against Marxist Dem Joe Biden.

00:01:19.180 Can you give us a little bit more detail about the timing of when you plan to secure the bond and how exactly you're planning to pay the bond?

00:01:27.960 Well, as they say, I have a lot of cash.

00:01:30.020 You know I do because you looked at my statements.

00:01:32.240 I mean, you've been examining my statements for a long time and I have much more than that in cash.

00:01:37.340 But I would also like to be able to use some of my cash to get elected.

00:01:41.000 They don't want me to use my cash to get elected.

00:01:44.360 They don't want that.

00:01:45.000 They don't want me taking cash out to use it for the campaign.

00:01:48.540 And they looked at it and this judge looked at it and he's part of the whole deal.

00:01:53.060 And why he's such a disgrace for this city.

00:01:55.420 Again, the most overturned judge.

00:01:57.440 There's never been that we can find a case where judges been overturned now five times.

00:02:03.180 It was four times.

00:02:03.860 Now it's five times.

00:02:04.760 Marxist New York District Attorney Tish James can't be happy about this one. 1.00

00:02:09.080 She was ready to march on down to Trump Tower this week and seize the damn building. 0.99

00:02:13.400 Not so fast, Tish. 0.99

00:02:14.900 Not so fast.

00:02:16.840 And last week, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene put forth the motion to vacate Speaker Mike Johnson,

00:02:21.780 saying that Johnson was in violation of his duty as Speaker.

00:02:24.900 For starters, he violated the 72-hour rule, which is supposed to give every member 72 hours to review a bill.

00:02:30.700 He then forced all members to vote on the bill without any amendments.

00:02:35.020 Members had just one day to vote on that bill, which was over a thousand pages.

00:02:39.340 Speaker Johnson effectively turned over control of the House to Marxist Dem Chuck Schumer.

00:02:44.460 Marjorie Taylor Greene says there's a lot of support in conference right now to actually vacate Mike Johnson.

00:02:49.420 There's a lot of support for a motion to vacate in the conference.

00:02:53.460 It's an uncomfortable situation to be in, but I'm going to be very respectful about this process to my conference.

00:03:00.320 I support my conference.

00:03:01.700 I've paid all my dues at the NRCC and then some.

00:03:05.180 I support our majority.

00:03:06.860 I support us winning the majority next this election this year so we can control the House next year.

00:03:12.880 And this will be a process that I will allow our conference to work through.

00:03:16.900 We need to choose a new speaker.

00:03:18.840 We need to choose a speaker of the House that is a Republican that will walk into a room and negotiate through strength

00:03:25.500 and not hand over every single win to Chuck Schumer and the White House.

00:03:29.900 And now we wait to see what happens.

00:03:32.380 I want to now turn it over to Lou.

00:03:34.360 As I told you earlier, Lou sat down with Congressman James Comer yesterday

00:03:37.700 to get a sense on where this Biden impeachment is going.

00:03:40.520 Is it still going to happen?

00:03:41.500 When will it happen and where we go from here?

00:03:44.700 Well, Congress is on a two-week, if you will, hiatus.

00:03:49.680 But I do know one person is always working, and that is certainly Congressman James Comer,

00:03:55.300 the chairman of the House Oversight Committee.

00:03:57.640 And we're delighted to have him with us here today.

00:04:01.240 Mr. Chairman, thank you for joining us.

00:04:03.220 And I want to start basically with what was a very dramatic week of testimony.

00:04:10.260 And it looks like real progress has been made in terms of the acceptance on the part of at least the media

00:04:18.680 that, yes, your committee does have evidence against the Biden crime family.

00:04:23.960 Well, I hope so.

00:04:25.660 I hope so, Lou, because we do have evidence.

00:04:27.660 And what we heard from testimony last week from two former Biden business partners was that Joe was the central figure in the family's influence peddling scheme.

00:04:38.600 We've already proven that Jim Biden and Hunter Biden have broken many laws.

00:04:43.980 They've committed many financial crimes.

00:04:46.340 They've been completely dishonest about their influence peddling.

00:04:50.160 I would go further and say that we've proven through the testimony of Shapley and Ziegler,

00:04:56.680 the two IRS whistleblowers, that they didn't pay a penny of taxes on the tens of millions of dollars that they took in from our enemies around the world.

00:05:03.700 But what we heard last week was Jason Galanis say that Hunter told people that Joe was going to be an equity owner in one of their schemes between Hunter and Galanis.

00:05:16.240 And then what we heard from Tony Bobulinski was the same thing.

00:05:19.880 In another scheme with China, Joe was going to be 10 percent equity owner, that he was going to be the big guy.

00:05:25.620 But he also said that he figured out that the Bidens weren't interested in any legitimate business,

00:05:32.680 that they just wanted to be paid from China.

00:05:35.760 They felt like they should be paid millions of dollars in return for granting communist China access to Joe Biden.

00:05:43.520 It's really breathtaking to think that the arrogance, the presumptuousness of it all,

00:05:51.040 that they were simply selling the family name and access to Joe Biden,

00:05:56.700 whether he's vice president, whether he's between jobs or whether he's president.

00:06:00.600 It didn't seem to matter.

00:06:02.460 Yeah.

00:06:02.840 No, I mean, there's no business.

00:06:04.860 And that's one of the things that our committee has determined.

00:06:08.880 And the Democrats and the media aren't even challenging it.

00:06:11.020 At the beginning of this investigation, the media narrative was the Bidens had a legitimate business.

00:06:17.480 They had energy companies.

00:06:19.100 They had investment companies.

00:06:20.520 What we've proven, they didn't have anything but a bunch of shell companies.

00:06:24.080 That sole purpose was to launder money that they were taking in from our adversaries around the world,

00:06:30.740 launder it through various shell companies to deceive the IRS so they wouldn't have to pay taxes,

00:06:35.180 to deceive any investigators that were investigating their corruption and then pay the Biden family,

00:06:41.220 10 different Biden family members in incremental payments through those shell companies.

00:06:46.280 What we've proven in the last week with that hearing was that Joe Biden was the closer of all the family deals.

00:06:54.780 Joe knew exactly what was going on because Tony Bobulinski testified that Joe thanked him for what he was doing with his family.

00:07:01.900 We know that Devin Archer testified in his transcribed interview that Joe Biden regularly got on the phone and called people.

00:07:10.420 And that was kind of just to do a wink and a nod, to let the corrupt Romanians or the corrupt Russians or the corrupt Chinese say, 0.93

00:07:17.320 hey, listen, I've got to plead plausible liability, but I know very well what's going on. 0.97

00:07:21.600 Take care of my boy and I'll take care of you.

00:07:24.140 And that's that's what we've heard from testimony.

00:07:26.260 So we've been able to bring in Joe Biden and his role in the influence penalty scheme.

00:07:32.240 And I think that was a very important hearing for us last week.

00:07:35.920 Absolutely.

00:07:37.320 A development, though, that I think is shocking to a lot of people is that the majority in terms of the practicality of the impeachment inquiry.

00:07:45.620 I mean, the Republican conference is down now to what is it, a one seat majority?

00:07:51.040 What is the impact of that on your on your impeachment inquiry?

00:07:56.080 Well, it's not good.

00:07:57.120 But think about this.

00:07:58.340 The two members that have resigned abruptly in the last few weeks were two of the three that were going to vote against impeachment.

00:08:05.200 So we didn't lose any votes.

00:08:07.300 They lost votes.

00:08:08.780 The media is trying to say, oh, the Republicans are losing members.

00:08:11.480 Well, really, those two were kind of on the Democrat team, Lou.

00:08:15.620 Gallagher and Buck.

00:08:17.680 So they can have Gallagher and Buck.

00:08:20.840 And, you know, the media and Ian Sams and that group, they're trying to say, well, the impeachment's over.

00:08:25.700 Impeachment is very well on the table.

00:08:30.020 Criminal referrals are very likely imminent with this family.

00:08:34.520 So I think that, you know, despite the White House collusion with the mainstream media to say that nothing happened in that last hearing and that impeachment's off the table, I can tell for 100 percent certainty on your show, impeachment is very well on the table.

00:08:51.300 There's a strong sense of support to hold this family accountable.

00:08:55.740 And most Republicans in our conference, if not all, believe that Joe Biden committed impeachable offenses.

00:09:01.660 Well, you know, one of our favorite people who you have characterized, and I have to admit that I have plagiarized you, a little weenie guy over at the White House, Ian Sams, is saying that, you know, there's still no evidence.

00:09:17.340 That seems to be his tune from beginning to wherever this goes.

00:09:23.760 Your reaction.

00:09:25.040 Well, that's just not true.

00:09:26.880 And Ian Sams gets paid taxpayer dollars to stand up and lie to the American people like a little bainy rooster every week.

00:09:36.380 And he's got a whole crew of 12 people.

00:09:39.000 They're not focused on securing the border.

00:09:40.840 They're not focused on trying to find waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government.

00:09:46.080 They claim they're the oversight team.

00:09:48.300 Their oversight team, all they do is try to discredit me and Jim Jordan in the investigation.

00:09:52.500 And their main phrase now is no evidence, no evidence.

00:09:57.580 But no one argued during the last committee hearing that the Biden family was influence paddling.

00:10:02.440 No one argued that they had 20 shell companies.

00:10:04.860 No one argued that they've taken in at least $28 million for no known purpose in their influence paddling teams.

00:10:12.940 What they're trying to say, Lou, is that, well, Joe didn't know.

00:10:15.680 But the problem they have is we have three former Biden associates that have all testified that Joe was the central figure in the influence paddling scheme.

00:10:26.380 So I don't think anyone's advocate is trying to say that influence paddling is OK.

00:10:30.880 What they're trying to say is that Joe wasn't involved.

00:10:33.340 And that's counter to what we've had witness testimony.

00:10:36.940 And that's why I've invited Joe Biden to come testify in front of the oversight committee.

00:10:42.220 And he can explain why three former business partners that he all met with would say that he was involved when he wasn't involved.

00:10:50.660 And I thought that was a very generous offer on your part.

00:10:54.020 And I can't imagine the president of the United States, with the counsel of Ian Sams, the little weenie guy, failing to take advantage of that opportunity that you're giving him.

00:11:04.200 I'm also very curious about something.

00:11:06.980 I really like to learn.

00:11:09.780 I enjoyed learning about these diamonds.

00:11:12.760 There's something about Diamond Joe Biden that kind of works as a moniker.

00:11:16.920 Tell us where you think where those diamonds went, where they might be, and how important are they?

00:11:25.460 Well, they're very important because we know now that Hunter Biden received two diamonds from the Chinese.

00:11:33.880 We know that's how China launders money into the United States. 0.94

00:11:38.940 We know that China deals in diamonds.

00:11:42.400 And they deal in diamonds through what they call their princeling program.

00:11:47.340 What China tries to do is go in and find vulnerable family members, sons of politicians, old, decrepit politicians, and buy them off. 0.93

00:11:57.940 And, I mean, we've seen them do this in Africa.

00:12:00.480 We've seen them do it in some of the Asian countries.

00:12:02.860 Now, you know, they've done it in the United States through Hunter Biden.

00:12:06.260 He got one diamond while Joe Biden was vice president from China, and Hunter got a Porsche from Kazakhstan while Joe was vice president.

00:12:17.040 Those are excessive gifts, and that is a huge ethics violation.

00:12:21.480 Joe Biden never reported those gifts to family members.

00:12:25.360 We're supposed to report gifts to family members, but I don't have any gifts to my family members.

00:12:30.320 But if someone gave my son a diamond, I think they would have already gotten rid of me in the House of Representatives.

00:12:35.700 We're talking about China doing this with Joe.

00:12:38.160 Now, what Jim testified was, well, that diamond, he had it appraised, and it wasn't worth anything, so he threw it in the trash.

00:12:44.480 Now, I can tell you, no one in America believes that story, because even if Jim Biden got a diamond that wasn't worth anything,

00:12:52.140 he would try to peddle it to somebody claiming it was a perfect diamond or something.

00:12:57.300 So, you know, none of the stuff that Jim Biden and Hunter Biden said to us in their deposition and interviews was believable.

00:13:03.900 Congressman James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, we'll continue our conversation in just a few moments.

00:13:10.400 Please stay with us. We'll be right back.

00:13:14.120 Folks, you know I beg everyone to get ready for the next crisis, and when it comes, our lives will likely change overnight,

00:13:21.640 whether it's natural disaster, war, or another disease.

00:13:25.160 We have to be ready as we can be.

00:13:27.040 We saw what happened in 2020 when we found ourselves dependent on global supply chains.

00:13:32.260 We're still dependent on China and other countries for more than 90% of all our pharmaceuticals.

00:13:37.680 With clusters of respiratory illnesses popping up around the world and here, we need to be prepared.

00:13:43.760 And now is the time to make certain you have what your family needs when the next crisis hits.

00:13:49.400 Our good friends, Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Drew Penske over at the Wellness Company have put together just what you and I need with the Wellness Company's medical emergency kit.

00:14:49.140 We're back now.

00:14:50.340 We're talking with the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Congressman James Comer.

00:14:55.140 Congressman, an interesting development is sort of at the sideline of all that was happening on Capitol Hill.

00:15:02.660 And that was with Defense Secretary, former Defense Secretary, Chris Miller,

00:15:07.160 alleging that he was threatened by the January 6th Committee into remaining silent.

00:15:13.420 Now, that was Trump's acting defense secretary.

00:15:18.160 And he was intimidated by the January 6th Committee.

00:15:22.280 Now, I'm not surprised by that because he was not forthcoming about anything,

00:15:26.220 and he didn't make a lot of sense, frankly, in my opinion.

00:15:28.920 But I want to get your judgment as to what in the world is going on right now where Miller steps forward,

00:15:38.780 acknowledges that he was intimidated into effectively through the January 6th Committee into not telling the truth.

00:15:48.420 Yeah, I think that what's come to light is the fact that the January 6th Committee made up a lot of stuff.

00:15:56.960 They were heavy-handed.

00:15:58.520 I was a critic of January 6th Committee from day one because it wasn't a legitimate committee

00:16:03.140 because the Republicans didn't get to put the members that the minority leader, McCarthy, wanted on there.

00:16:09.100 They put who they wanted on there, the two Democrat voting members of the Republican conference,

00:16:14.660 Kinzinger and Cheney.

00:16:16.400 But, you know, I've tried to withhold criticism of the January 6th Committee for a long time.

00:16:21.540 But, you know, it's to the point you can't anymore.

00:16:24.340 They doctored evidence.

00:16:28.400 They have just been dishonest.

00:16:31.540 Their investigation is going to go down in history like an Adam Schiff investigation of Donald Trump.

00:16:37.180 There were instance after instance where the January 6th Committee has created false narratives.

00:16:46.400 And it's just completely lost all credibility.

00:16:49.780 So I'm not surprised that they would do that.

00:16:52.840 They were predetermined at the start to try to blame everything on Donald Trump

00:16:58.980 and come up with the insurrection term that the guy, you know, initially it was the guy that,

00:17:04.360 I can't even, whatever his name was, that had the bullhorns.

00:17:08.060 He was the leader of the insurrection.

00:17:10.460 Then we see videos where the, you know, he's talking to the police.

00:17:13.320 We see videos of the Capitol Police officer that testified.

00:17:16.180 And he was fine.

00:17:17.500 So the videos have shed light on the fact that this is another example of the Democrats misleading the American people through a disinformation campaign.

00:17:26.660 Well, some considerable disinformation emanating from the House Speaker's office as well.

00:17:33.400 Mike Johnson said he was releasing those videos.

00:17:36.320 We've now heard that from he and from him and from Kevin McCarthy.

00:17:42.600 And it hasn't happened.

00:17:44.360 And we also know that the January 6th Committee destroyed evidence.

00:17:48.260 Plain and simple, straightforward.

00:17:49.340 And as to your point about the illegitimacy of the January 6th Committee, there's a man right now in prison, Peter Navarro, former senior advisor to the president, in charge of the White House Trade Council, who has been imprisoned based on his contempt of the January 6th Committee.

00:18:10.940 If you're not contemptuous of the January 6th Committee, who would you be contemptuous of?

00:18:17.300 No, it's a terrible precedent that they set, put Navarro in prison for an illegitimate committee that every day is proven to have made more mistakes at best and downright lies and fraud at worst.

00:18:32.740 And I think that Barry Laudermilch is doing a good job with what he's got to work with in exposing this.

00:18:40.580 But I think that, you know, sunlight's the best disinfectant.

00:18:43.700 And one reason I've heard, and I don't ever talk to Mike Johnson, but one reason I've heard that he hasn't released those tapes is because the Capitol Police don't want him to.

00:18:54.200 Well, I don't care what the Capitol Police want at this point, because what we've seen from the video is evidence that doesn't suggest one of the Capitol Police officers testified truthfully to the world about what happened that day.

00:19:09.620 Now, look, I was there. I was one of the members that was on the floor, and that wasn't a good day.

00:19:13.460 And I've always said that. That was a bad deal that day.

00:19:16.140 But I think what's happened is the Democrats have done what they always do.

00:19:21.760 They've added to the story. They've created a lot of false narratives because their whole objective was to try to prevent Donald Trump from running for re-election.

00:19:32.640 And as a result, there's no credibility. I don't know what to believe on the January 6th committee right now.

00:19:38.280 I don't believe hardly anything they wrote.

00:19:40.900 And I don't think most people do.

00:19:43.420 I think every poll I've seen shows somewhere between 65 to 70 plus percent of those surveyed believe that the Biden administration is politically motivated in its efforts to the DOJ, that the J-6 committee was politically motivated throughout. 0.95

00:20:01.640 The American people are not stupid. 0.97

00:20:04.260 They can be fooled for a while, but they're not stupid. 1.00

00:20:07.260 And they've figured it out. 0.98

00:20:08.800 And just in time, as far as I'm concerned.

00:20:13.420 But let me ask you this.

00:20:14.780 Another development around your investigation, that is suddenly we hear from the CIA and we find out from a whistleblower that they blocked federal investigations of none other than our friend Hunter Biden.

00:20:31.700 It's incredible what the links they go to to protect this family and Hunter Biden himself.

00:20:38.020 The number of times that this investigation has been obstructed by a deep state agency, whether it be the FBI, the CIA, the Department of Justice, the IRS, I've lost count.

00:20:50.800 But with respect to this investigation, we've proven two things.

00:20:54.520 We've proven the Bidens have committed a bunch of crimes and we've proven that there's a deep state coverup of the Bidens committing a bunch of crimes.

00:21:01.760 Because you had multiple government agencies investigating the Bidens.

00:21:05.780 You had the Department of Justice in at least three different locations investigating the Bidens.

00:21:11.340 You had the Securities and Exchange Commission investigating the Bidens.

00:21:15.300 Now we learn we have the Medicare Fraud Division investigating the Bidens.

00:21:20.500 You had the IRS investigating the Bidens.

00:21:22.720 The FBI investigating the Bidens.

00:21:24.140 And at every instance, they were told to stand down at every instance.

00:21:29.520 You don't have that many agencies investigating one family for for that many different crimes and never have a conviction or anything else.

00:21:39.700 And the only reason that Hunter Biden's in court tomorrow is because of our investigation, because they were set to give him blanket immunity.

00:21:48.000 Were it not for the letter that Congress sent the judge in Delaware saying, look, he at least violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act, not to mention tax evasion and tax fraud.

00:21:57.740 And she kicked that deal that Abby Loyal had with David Weiss out because he knew that there were a host of financial crimes that the president's son has committed.

00:22:10.200 And what I think we found in the last few weeks and we've proven is that Joe Biden himself knew what was going on.

00:22:16.480 And he was a central figure in the schemes.

00:22:18.880 A central figure.

00:22:21.280 And at this point, knowing that the CIA wants to not only wants to, but did block a federal investigation, is that going to be now a part of the investigation or do you just simply move ahead?

00:22:35.660 Now, what I would like to see moving forward, we've come up on the Oversight Committee.

00:22:40.400 We were supposed to investigate the financial crimes and get the truth to the American people.

00:22:44.720 We've done that.

00:22:45.880 What we've uncovered through the investigation is that there was there was a cover up.

00:22:51.060 And I would like to see as this investigation moves forward, we highlight the financial crimes and try to hold the Bidens accountable for the financial crimes.

00:23:00.420 And then Jim Jordan with the judiciary and then that weaponization select committee focused on the cover up, focused on the deep state and and all the mischief that the CIA, the FBI, the IRS, the Department of Justice have committed in in not only obstructing Oversight's investigation,

00:23:18.700 but obstructing all the different investigations, dating back to the IRS whistleblowers, Gary Schaftley and Ziegler.

00:23:25.260 I mean, there are so many times that the deep state has stepped in to protect the Bidens.

00:23:30.460 And I think that's where the investigation needs to go moving forward from a judiciary and weaponization standpoint.

00:23:36.640 And the Secret Service, just as a reminder, everybody, not refusing to produce visitor logs for the for the president and his family in Wilmington, Delaware, and their various vacation homes.

00:23:52.320 We're talking with the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer.

00:23:56.100 We'll be back in just one moment.

00:23:58.020 Please stay with us.

00:23:58.980 Lou Dobbs here.

00:24:02.040 I'm delighted to let you all know that the program Lou Dobbs Tonight has returned to the air.

00:24:08.260 That's right.

00:24:09.280 Lou Dobbs Tonight is back.

00:24:11.360 We're live each and every weeknight at 7 p.m. Eastern and 6 p.m. Central on Rumble.com slash Lou Dobbs.

00:24:21.140 That's Rumble.com slash Lou Dobbs.

00:24:24.260 I hope you'll be joining us for Lou Dobbs Tonight as our fight to save this country has only begun.

00:24:36.880 We're back now.

00:24:38.120 We're talking with the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Congressman James Comer.

00:24:42.260 No one is doing more right now for the public's right to know, leading these investigations and producing extraordinary evidence.

00:24:50.320 And a lot of questions, new questions, for example, the chairman just went through a list of agencies that have been covering up for Joe Biden, Diamond Joe Biden, we now call him.

00:25:04.420 We're talking about a cover-up that extends to the Secret Service, refusing visitor logs.

00:25:10.740 I mean, it goes on and on and on.

00:25:14.300 At what point is there any point of which, I'll put it that way, that the deep state actually says, you know, we have a responsibility to the federal government and to the American people, and we're going to quit protecting Joe Biden?

00:25:30.820 I haven't seen any sign of it.

00:25:32.480 Is there such a point?

00:25:34.420 It doesn't appear to be.

00:25:35.880 I mean, they're hunkering down, as we say on the farm in Kentucky.

00:25:40.820 They're not working with us.

00:25:43.180 They're doing everything they can to obstruct.

00:25:44.940 Look, we were supposed to have Jason Galanis testify in person at that hearing last week.

00:25:50.140 We worked a deal out with the Bureau of Prisons to get him to Washington to testify.

00:25:54.940 And then the DOJ goes in and stops that.

00:25:58.200 They want him to testify virtually.

00:25:59.700 They didn't want him to come testify publicly.

00:26:01.920 Just little things like that.

00:26:03.740 The people they've indicted right before we were set to interview them.

00:26:07.660 I mean, and then the spin in false narratives to the media.

00:26:11.880 I mean, they are not only obstructing, they're coordinating and colluding with the White House, with their, you know, little Ian Sam's war room they've got in there to create false narratives about the investigation, not having any evidence.

00:26:27.140 You know, if there's no evidence, what did the Bidens do to receive the $28 million?

00:26:30.340 And why did Joe Biden lie about these people?

00:26:34.140 They can't answer that, but the media doesn't press them on that.

00:26:38.180 And I think that, I'll be honest, Lou, I think the House of Representatives missed an opportunity to hold the deep state accountable.

00:26:45.760 The way to hold the deep state accountable was to cut their budgets. 0.83

00:26:49.460 But unfortunately, that didn't happen.

00:26:50.960 We fought and fought to try to get those budget cuts.

00:26:55.200 Didn't happen.

00:26:56.380 And I think that really took away some of our ability to hold the deep state accountable.

00:27:01.480 Now, unfortunately, the way to hold them accountable is to elect a new president.

00:27:06.300 And we know who that new president needs to be.

00:27:08.480 They need to elect a new president.

00:27:10.180 And he needs to go in and terminate every single person in the deep state that he can terminate.

00:27:15.380 And it turns out that Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, as well as the leader of the conference, I mean, who is he?

00:27:25.380 He looks at one moment, he looks exactly like Paul Ryan.

00:27:31.900 Or if you take another look at him from a different angle, he looks like Kevin McCarthy.

00:27:36.620 Only in some ways, he's every bit as bad as any one of those in what he's done.

00:27:43.720 You mentioned the $1.2 trillion minibus, 75% of the federal spending on one vote by the House of Representatives.

00:27:51.880 This is the opposite of what was pledged to all of you by the succession of speakers in the 118th Congress.

00:28:00.120 My biggest disappointment was the House and Congress increased the FDI budget.

00:28:09.740 They didn't decrease their FDI budget.

00:28:11.460 They increased and they threw in a $200 million brand new building for them.

00:28:17.220 Unacceptable.

00:28:18.580 Completely unacceptable.

00:28:20.500 I think there was a failure with the appropriations process.

00:28:23.960 You know, we, Jordan and I expressed to the appropriators multiple times that we had agencies and divisions in the Department of Justice and FBI that needed to be cut.

00:28:40.440 For whatever reason, I don't know that, I don't know what the, why they can't break the budget down.

00:28:46.980 And instead of doing a one size fits all, okay, we'll do a whole budget for the DOJ or a whole budget for the Department of Defense.

00:28:52.560 Well, let's break it down.

00:28:54.160 I mean, if we're ever going to hold spending accountable, you're going to have to break it down.

00:28:58.660 There are agencies and programs that need to be funded, probably need to be increased in funding.

00:29:03.540 But there are agencies and programs that need to not only be cut, but be eliminated.

00:29:08.300 And you can't do that every year when you wait until the very last minute and just say, all right, we're going to do one massive bill and fund every cabinet with whatever they were funded in the previous year, plus the cost of living adjustment.

00:29:20.140 That is a terrible business model.

00:29:22.000 I thought we were going to do it differently this year.

00:29:25.260 We didn't.

00:29:26.660 I have my opinion of who I ought to blame.

00:29:28.800 But at the end of the day, I voted no on the bill.

00:29:30.820 And I'm pretty disappointed that there weren't agencies in the deep state held accountable for misconduct.

00:29:38.300 Because that's what they've done throughout this whole investigation.

00:29:41.460 They have misconducted themselves.

00:29:44.300 They have obstructed.

00:29:45.540 They have colluded with the corrupt mainstream media to create false narratives.

00:29:50.500 And they did not deserve an increase in funding.

00:29:53.260 I'll put it like that.

00:29:54.200 Well, I think everyone watching everything that your committee and Congressman Jordan's committee would agree with you 100%.

00:30:04.860 And the shame is that the 118th Congress had an opportunity to do something about it.

00:30:11.580 As you point out, the tragedy is that the steps were not taken.

00:30:15.620 And does Mike Johnson survive this motion to vacate brought by Marjorie Taylor Greene?

00:30:22.400 Yeah, I don't think that the problem goes back to the beginning.

00:30:26.360 If you get rid of Mike Johnson, who does the conference get behind?

00:30:31.500 I would say the two leading candidates would be Scalise and Jordan.

00:30:37.040 Well, we've already been through that once.

00:30:39.160 And some of the Jordan people won't vote for Scalise.

00:30:41.460 And some of the Scalise people won't vote for Jordan.

00:30:43.560 And with a one-vote discrepancy now, you can't risk going to the floor.

00:30:49.360 And Marjorie knows that.

00:30:50.840 So I don't think it's going to go to the floor because I don't think there's anyone that can get to 218.

00:30:57.340 And the Democrats will all vote for Hakeem Jeffries.

00:31:00.340 So it's too big a risk to try to, in my opinion, I've told Marjorie that.

00:31:06.140 I love Marjorie.

00:31:06.720 She's one of the best people on my committee.

00:31:08.460 But we'll just have to see how that plays out.

00:31:13.020 Well, Congressman, we appreciate everything you're doing.

00:31:15.720 And, you know, the American people would be poorly informed if it were not for the investigating committees of the U.S. Congress, the 118th Congress.

00:31:27.460 I want to thank you very much.
