Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs, and as you might expect, this is The Great America Show.
00:00:08.720 Delighted to have you with us. A lot happening. President Biden this week embarking on his trip
00:00:14.340 to Europe. His first stop Sunday was in London, where he was met by a gracious King Charles,
00:00:20.620 particularly after Biden had blown him off and chose not to attend his coronation.
00:00:25.220 Biden on the grounds of Buckingham Palace often seemed embarrassingly sidetracked,
00:00:30.800 off track, dazed, confused, and a wee bit intimidated by those beefeater royal guards
00:00:37.320 clad in their red coats and bearskin hats. From London, Biden headed to the Baltics,
00:00:43.020 arrived in Lithuania yesterday for the start of the NATO summit, where he is almost guaranteed to
00:00:49.100 be a sad sack again, lost in the goings-on in Vilnius, and I wonder if he knows just how close
00:00:55.860 he is to the Russian border. And in Vilnius, he's meeting there with the leaders of Australia,
00:01:02.160 New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, the European Union, and Finland. The topic of discussion,
00:01:08.420 Russia's 500-plus-day war against Ukraine, Russia's increasing aggression toward the West,
00:01:14.620 and how Biden and his cabinet have only helped fuel the fire, including Biden's dispatch of a new
00:01:21.580 $800 million military aid package that includes cluster bombs for Ukraine. Also on the agenda,
00:01:29.620 the possibility of Ukraine's membership in NATO, which Biden has, of course, flip-flopped on many
00:01:36.200 times, but most recently told CNN he doesn't support their membership until the war is over.
00:01:43.280 That is, he seems, intent on prolonging that war.
00:01:48.120 I don't think it's ready for membership in NATO, but here's the deal. I spent, as you know,
00:01:54.020 a great deal of time trying to hold NATO together, because I believe Putin has had an overwhelming
00:01:59.360 objective from the time he launched 185,000 troops into Ukraine, and that was to break NATO. He was
00:02:05.680 confident, in my view, and many of the intelligence community, he was confident he could break NATO.
00:02:10.140 So holding NATO together is really critical. I don't think there is unanimity in NATO about
00:02:16.740 whether or not to bring Ukraine into the NATO family now, at this moment, in the middle of a
00:02:26.140 war. For example, if you did that, then, you know, we, I, and I mean what I say, we're determined to
00:02:33.260 commit every inch of territory that is NATO territory. It's a commitment that we've all
00:02:39.340 made no matter what. If the war is going on, then we're all in a war. You know, we're in war with
00:02:45.840 Russia, if that were the case. So I think we have to lay out a path for the rational path
00:02:51.500 for Russia, for, excuse me, for Ukraine to be able to qualify to get into NATO.
00:02:58.980 And if you watched MSNBC yesterday morning, I would ask first, why would you do that? But there,
00:03:06.320 you would have found a band of cheerleaders for the Biden regime, carrying on about how wonderful
00:03:11.900 his foreign policy, the economy, his diplomacy, Marxist-Dem commentator Chris Matthews regaling
00:03:19.340 viewers with his deep insight, even going so far as to say President Biden's leadership is, quote,
00:03:27.000 brilliant at a level of FDR or Eisenhower, end quote.
00:03:32.700 We're doing a great job in world leadership, probably at the level of FDR or Eisenhower. We're
00:03:37.800 holding the world together. We're building NATO as it was built to be when it was first formed to
00:03:42.940 stop Russia, to stop Russia's advancement into Western Europe. And look where we've stopped them
00:03:47.420 at the Ukraine and Ukraine. That's where we stopped them. And in the Balkans, it's extraordinary
00:03:52.780 what Blinken has done and Jake Sullivan have done and what the president has done all together.
00:03:58.300 They're doing a great job. But here at home, and you talked about that earlier this morning,
00:04:02.820 this distinction where people cannot say what you said in your article for the Atlantic,
00:04:07.580 they can't breathe it. They can't believe it, which is everything is doing pretty well. We have
00:04:12.380 inflation. It's continued, but it's going down. Everything is doing. It's going swimmingly.
00:04:17.260 The Marxist-Dem mainstream media is hard at it, working to do all they can to cocoon the impaired
00:04:24.260 puppet president and his minions. Turning now to Capitol Hill, where FBI Director Christopher Wray
00:04:30.660 is set to testify before the House Judiciary Committee tomorrow morning. Wray's testimony comes as
00:04:37.480 calls for him to resign are intensifying. Director Wray has been complicit in cover-up after cover-up
00:04:44.840 at the highest levels of government, including the illegal raid on a former president's home,
00:04:50.780 the protection of a corrupt sitting president and his son, and the FBI's targeting of concerned parents
00:04:57.880 at school board meetings. Chairing the Judiciary Committee is the man who is leading the House
00:05:04.000 Investigations of Biden Regime Corruption and the Weaponization of Government Against the American
00:05:10.480 People. He is Congressman Jim Jordan. Chairman Jordan joins us now. Congressman Jordan, good of you to be
00:05:17.860 with us here today. Let's start with your thoughts on how helpful Christopher Wray will be, who's been at
00:05:23.260 the very least uncooperative and often outright obstructive? Yeah, well, a couple things. One, I really
00:05:29.720 think this year in Congress, Republicans' focus should be to limit how taxpayer dollars are spent
00:05:37.080 in these various agencies to protect American people from what we believe has been the weaponization of
00:05:42.080 the federal government against we the people. So it'll be making the case for why we need to do that in the appropriations
00:05:48.000 process. And then furthermore, FISA, the 702 program is up to reauthorization. So we, I think we will
00:05:56.120 highlight all those things that have, that have happened at the Justice Department that show a double
00:06:00.040 standard, that show that we don't have an equal treatment under the law like we're supposed to have
00:06:04.160 in this country, and why that reinforces our position that we should not reauthorize FISA in its current
00:06:09.100 form. Because when you think about it, Lou, they, they, the Justice Department, the FBI have, have called
00:06:14.780 Parents Terrorists, set up a snitch line to report parents. The FBI investigated 25 moms and dads
00:06:21.100 across this country. We know that because of whistleblowers who come forward. Then it was the
00:06:25.040 memorandum at the Richmond Field Office, the FBI Richmond Field Office, where they said, if you're a
00:06:30.780 pro-life Catholic, you're a radical, you're an extremist. Then it was retaliation against the
00:06:35.600 whistleblowers who came forward and told us about these things. And then, of course, finally, we had what we
00:06:40.560 got just a week ago, six days ago, in the, in the decision from Judge Doty in the Western District
00:06:47.040 of Louisiana, where he talked about the censorship that the FBI and the rest of the government has
00:06:52.620 been involved in, in limiting Americans' First Amendment free speech rights. And so I think we'll
00:06:57.980 highlight all that, not to mention this latest thing with, with the whistleblower, Gary Shapley, and
00:07:02.620 the Biden family business operation. Well, I'm sure we'll get into that as well.
00:07:06.740 It is, it is a, an extraordinary agenda. The hearing, you will focus first on, on what? You
00:07:15.400 have a huge number of critical issues there. Yeah. Yeah, I think, I think, you know, you get an
00:07:22.380 opening statement. So the opening statement, I'll probably outline a lot of what I just talked
00:07:25.340 about there, just the past abuses. And I frankly, Luke, all those past things I just listed there,
00:07:30.800 I haven't even gotten into what they've done to President Trump. What they did in 2016, when they
00:07:34.440 spy on his campaign, the Mueller investigation, the impeachment baloney, then, then, then it was,
00:07:39.720 then it was the rate of his home in Mar-a-Lago. Now, of course, what's been happening with the
00:07:43.700 classified documents issue. I haven't even got into all that. So I think we'll lay out all the
00:07:48.380 things that, that, that we've seen from them and then just underscore, there is no way we are going
00:07:53.920 to reauthorize, FISA is up for reauthorization by the end of this calendar year. So it's, you know,
00:07:59.380 there's become more and more of a focus on that. We're just not going to do it. We, there has to be
00:08:03.780 major changes to that before we'll ever think about letting that law be reauthorized.
00:08:09.520 And we are really uncertain. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say this, a lot of us are
00:08:16.820 very uncertain that even if you disallowed the section 702, that they would follow the law because
00:08:24.740 they have, John Durham, the special counsel has, has pointed out time and time again, where, as he put
00:08:31.380 it, no fidelity to the law, which is the same thing as being an outlaw. And I, I don't know that
00:08:37.660 they won't cooperate with you on oversight. Why would we expect them to also follow the law,
00:08:42.460 if not the constitution?
00:08:44.920 No, I know it's, it's, it's scary. And frankly, until you have some, some accountability
00:08:50.560 from a justice department, from an attorney general, who's going to hold people accountable
00:08:55.020 and not just, you know, kind of, kind of move, move along to the next thing. I don't know that
00:09:00.300 we get that, but all we can do in the, in the legislative branch is point out the problems,
00:09:06.000 do our oversight, propose legislation to remedy those problems. And we're working on something
00:09:10.340 to have people who, people in the government who are engaged in, in censoring Americans,
00:09:15.900 First Amendment free speech rights, there should be real consequences. So Senator Paul and our
00:09:21.160 officer looking at legislation that would, that would have criminal penalties for people who
00:09:25.420 engage in that kind of censorship and restrict Americans, First Amendment liberties. But that's
00:09:30.500 all we can do from, from our, and then of course, use the power of the purse. And, and that's what
00:09:36.040 we're, we're going to, we're going to be talking about things that we think should happen in the
00:09:39.980 appropriations process that limit how your dollars can be spent, that hold people accountable if they
00:09:44.560 spend that money in the wrong way and use it to censor Americans in any way. Those are the kind of
00:09:49.860 things we have to get in law and we have to stand firm on as we go through the appropriations process
00:09:54.660 here over the next few months. And referring to Judge Dowdy, as you did at the outset, that order
00:10:01.720 to prevent the, the executive branch from interfering with First Amendment rights and specifically social
00:10:11.780 media. That is an out, I mean, that's just a historic order by that judge. Yes. And it goes to what you're
00:10:19.880 doing, trying to bring, to heal these executive departments, particularly the FBI, the Department of Justice
00:10:26.640 and others. What is, what is your path forward there? Well, you know, the one thing I thought about that, that
00:10:35.120 it was so strong. I mean, there was like 80 some pages, Lou, where he just listed the facts, the facts
00:10:40.840 from what the White House did to oppress and limit and suppress American speech. And then it was the
00:10:45.440 FBI, and then it was the State Department, then it was the GEC, then it was this organization, the CISA
00:10:49.420 organization, and NIAID, Fauci's group. On and on it went agency after agency after agency. So in many ways,
00:10:57.540 it confirmed what we've been doing in the Judiciary Committee relative to exposing the weaponization
00:11:02.720 of the federal government against the American people. This judge laid out those same facts we've
00:11:08.520 discovered, and then he gave his preliminary, you know, injunction, where he said, like, you got to
00:11:13.300 stop this now, and I think the plaintiffs are going to prevail in court. He even used the term, he says,
00:11:18.660 the government functioned as an Orwellian ministry of truth in opposing and limiting and suppressing
00:11:25.780 Americans' free speech rights. I mean, that is chilling what the judge said, but it was a strong
00:11:31.940 opinion. And I think it holds up when they get to the next stage of this suit, because again,
00:11:38.920 the facts were just so overwhelming on the plaintiff's side.
00:11:41.400 We're talking with Chairman Jim Jordan, chairman of the Judiciary Committee and one of the leaders
00:11:47.480 in fighting back against the attempted institutionalization against free speech by the
00:11:54.560 Department of Homeland Security, by the Department of Justice, and other agencies. We'll continue this
00:12:01.140 conversation. After these quick words, please stay with us.
00:12:10.060 We're back now with Congressman Jim Jordan, chairman of the Judiciary Committee.
00:12:16.220 Christopher Wray has basically, I think in the minds of some, has just simply told Congress to go to hell.
00:12:24.540 You have talked about your limitations in Congress and what you can do. Is there not a way to bring him
00:12:33.220 into line with the Constitution and his proper role as a director of the FBI, not a dictator who can
00:12:43.640 find his powers over the U.S. Congress?
00:12:47.580 Well, I think you continue to press. I mean, for example, this 1023 form that he just keeps dragging
00:12:54.680 his feet on and won't let the full Congress see, more importantly, the American people see this
00:12:59.860 from a confidential source they had, talking about this scheme that this source saw where the foreign
00:13:08.780 nationals were paying the Bidens. And supposedly, according to this source, Joe Biden was going to do
00:13:13.680 certain policy things in exchange for that money. So, you know, we should be able to get that form.
00:13:18.620 We're going to continue to press on that. There are some who have called for real investigation into
00:13:24.060 impeachment, kind of an impeachment inquiry there. We haven't moved down that road yet, although
00:13:30.400 Speaker McCarthy has been clear when it comes to the Attorney General, Merrick Garland,
00:13:36.300 that he is very open to an impeachment inquiry with the Attorney General. So we'll keep pressing.
00:13:43.240 And part of pressing is when you have these, you know, these annual treks where the director of the
00:13:49.120 FBI and then in September, it'll be the Attorney General come in front of our committee and you get
00:13:53.700 to ask him the tough questions and you get to press him so that the American people can see, hopefully in
00:13:57.940 a clear way, really what's going on at our nation's Justice Department. And Lou, remember,
00:14:02.500 there was a survey last fall, four out of five Americans think there's a two-tiered system of
00:14:08.440 justice in our country. They think that because there is. And that's what Merrick Garland and Chris
00:14:15.540 Ray need to understand. When you've lost the confidence of almost 80 percent of the people,
00:14:21.000 there's a real problem there. So we'll press him on all those things.
00:14:24.600 As I think about all of the items that you've listed to take up with Christopher Ray,
00:14:31.760 I wonder about the investigatory resources that you have. I don't know. How many attorneys and how
00:14:40.000 many investigators do you have? How many of you added in the 118th Congress?
00:14:44.540 Well, just on our committee, we got like 70-some staff that work for the committee. A bunch of those
00:14:51.800 that are lawyers, good, young, sharp lawyers who are willing to work around the clock. I mean,
00:14:57.280 I've been talking with a number of them over this past weekend who are doing research for us on key
00:15:03.160 questions, key issues that we need to ask the director about. So, yeah, but they're working,
00:15:09.660 you know, we do like a typical week. We're doing five or six transcribed interviews or, you know,
00:15:14.760 what normal would you call deposition to Congress? We typically call them transcribed interviews,
00:15:18.260 but we're doing five or six of those every week. And we just keep plowing ahead
00:15:21.600 on a number of these investigations that we're involved in.
00:15:25.520 And against the Justice Department, because I really believe that's what this amounts to.
00:15:30.600 This is a conflict between the Congress and the Department of Justice. They have thousands of
00:15:35.560 attorneys. We know that the hundreds upon hundreds of them were unleashed just against the J6
00:15:41.620 political prisoners. They have no shortage of manpower. Do you have a shortage? Do you have
00:15:50.420 adequate resources right now? Because this thing is going in every which direction now?
00:15:55.620 Yeah, no, it's a good point. We do. I mean, to the speaker's credit, we asked for several additional,
00:16:03.460 several million additional dollars to do these investigations. You know, you and I are fiscal
00:16:08.140 conservative. You don't like to spend money. But when it comes to protecting Americans' liberty
00:16:12.280 and stopping the weaponization of federal agencies against we the people, you need the resources to
00:16:17.140 hire the good staff to do the work to show the American people what's going on so that you have
00:16:21.920 the evidence you need to then propose legislation and propose changes in the appropriations process
00:16:27.440 to use the power of the purse to limit this stuff. So you need staff to do that and you need
00:16:32.280 resources to hire that staff to do that. So we do feel like we have plenty and we're we're using it
00:16:38.660 as as just as best we can to get to the get to the bottom of everything. For example, the the whistleblower
00:16:45.460 who has been found and it turns out now it has been questioned by U.S. law enforcement officers
00:16:52.900 in Cyprus. Give us a sense of did your investigators manage to find him as well?
00:16:59.780 No, we we we we focus primarily on we've dealt with whistleblowers who've come to our office via
00:17:08.020 the Justice Department, people like Garrett O'Boyle. They did the Garrett O'Boyle who come and talked
00:17:14.180 to us about a number of issues, Lou. I mean, they took his clearance, took his pay, took his kids clothes
00:17:18.660 when they moved him across the country. The day he gets across the country, they say, oh, we're yanking
00:17:23.580 your clearance. We're not going to give you access to all your your your belongings that they that they
00:17:27.980 shipped to. They select him for a new job. So we've mostly dealt with the folks who've come to us.
00:17:33.060 And then, of course, Mr. Shapley, the person with the IRS, he he's worked with the Ways and Means
00:17:39.960 Committee. But we've been involved with that as well, particularly some of our top lawyers working
00:17:44.000 on that issue to deal with with with his the information he brought to us. And of course,
00:17:50.780 he's been retaliated against. They've kicked him. The Justice Department's kicked him off the
00:17:54.840 investigation. So that's one of the other concerns we really have is when whistleblowers come forward
00:18:00.400 to give Congress and more importantly, the American people critical information, they're not supposed
00:18:05.160 to be messed with. They're not supposed to be retaliated against. And yet that seems to me exactly
00:18:09.780 what's been happening to these to these brave whistleblowers. Let me ask you this, then, because
00:18:14.340 it seems that the issue here is at what point is impeachment proceedings set up against
00:18:22.860 Merrick Garland. There's retaliation against whistleblowers. They're obstructing your investigation
00:18:31.140 as the is the head of the Judiciary Committee, the most powerful committee on these issues
00:18:37.780 in our government. And they obstruct. And at the same time, what will it take to trigger an impeachment
00:18:50.180 for crying out loud, if I can put it that way? Yeah, as I said, yeah, no, as I said, the speaker has
00:18:56.200 been been clear on this. He's he's willing to to to go down that path if we need to. And I would also
00:19:03.300 add to the list. It looks like the attorney general may not have been square with the American people
00:19:10.420 when he testified and said David Weiss, the U.S. attorney in Delaware, has complete authority to
00:19:17.640 do what he wants. Well, according to the whistleblower, who I think is extremely credible, Mr. Shapley,
00:19:23.520 14 year veteran, handled some of the biggest tax cases, international tax cases of the age he's ever
00:19:27.640 had. He said, David Weiss said he was denied special counsel status, which limited his ability
00:19:34.660 to bring charges in the Central District of California and in Washington, D.C. So somebody's
00:19:40.000 not being square. Is it is it the whistleblower? Is it Merrick Garland? Well, it sure doesn't seem
00:19:44.560 like it's the whistleblower. He seems as credible as they come. So that's another reason why I think
00:19:49.760 the speaker has been very clear. Two weeks ago, he said we may need to move into an inquiry
00:19:55.280 about impeaching Merrick Garland. And if we do, we'll we'll we'll go full steam ahead.
00:20:00.980 But that's to my point, Congressman, if if this impeachment inquiry hasn't been triggered
00:20:08.080 by lying to Congress, by lying to the public, by at the same time abuses of power, obstructing Congress
00:20:18.080 and retaliating against whistleblowers. What is that straw that will trigger an impeachment
00:20:25.660 inquiry? My goodness. I mean, that no fair question. This is a this is a Department of
00:20:30.280 Justice that is filled with outlaws. No, a fair question. It's it's why we sent a letter with
00:20:37.900 with Chairman Comer and Chairman Smith wanting to talk to 13 different people involved in this
00:20:44.560 investigation from David Weiss to the assistant U.S. attorney Leslie Wolf, other assistant U.S.
00:20:48.360 attorneys, people, the FBI, people in the tax division at DOJ and the IRS. We want to talk to
00:20:53.380 these folks. And and there's a process you go through. And we are committed to going through
00:20:58.440 that process and taking nothing off the table, including what you just described. But we feel
00:21:04.480 like we need to do this in a fair way, but in a in a in a aggressive way, unlike what the Democrats
00:21:11.200 did, where they were completely unfair to President Trump and their impeachment proceedings in a couple
00:21:16.620 of Congresses ago, we're going to do it the right way, but we're going to do it aggressively and we're
00:21:20.900 not going to take anything off the table. And that's why we've sent that letter. And we're going to look
00:21:24.460 to talk to all these individuals. We're talking with Congressman Jim Jordan, who chairs the
00:21:28.700 Judiciary Committee and the subcommittee on weaponization of our government, or at least it
00:21:34.600 used to be our government. We continue in one minute. Stay with us. We'll be right back.
00:21:41.200 We're back now talking with Chairman Jim Jordan about his hearing. It'll be Wednesday. And with
00:21:51.960 Christopher Wray, the director of the FBI, a lot of questions he has to ask, a lot of ground to
00:21:57.940 cover. I want to I want to bring up, if I may, ESG and your your inquiries into some of the most
00:22:05.960 powerful. Well, not some of the most, the most powerful firms on Wall Street and what they are
00:22:13.480 doing, weaponizing something called ESG, environmental social governance. It is in the minds of many a
00:22:23.780 complete fraud and one, though, that BlackRock, for example, is using to drive business as according to
00:22:32.500 Larry Fink, as CEO, as never before. What do you what do you intend?
00:22:38.760 So it's a great point. It's supposed to be the policymakers, supposed to be the people who go
00:22:41.680 go put their name on a ballot, get elected, who make the policy in the country, not not,
00:22:45.100 you know, Wall Street, not not banks, not financial institutions with with their policy woke agenda.
00:22:51.640 That's not how it's. But in fact, they're supposed to be focused on their fiduciary responsibility,
00:22:57.180 their fiduciary duty to maximize profits for their for their shareholders. That's why that's our
00:23:03.420 concern, because, you know, legally, it's your fiduciary duty. And when you're doing this, and
00:23:08.280 you're against, for example, oil, gas and coal, you're there's there's harm to those companies
00:23:13.180 you're causing, there's harm to the to the shareholders of the stocks of those companies.
00:23:16.740 But more importantly, there's harm to the American economy and American families who are paying more
00:23:21.040 for energy. And as a result, more for everything else. So this is huge, what's going on. But it's
00:23:27.200 all part of the left. And the left, you know, it seems like the left controls everything.
00:23:33.100 Left controls big tech, left controls big media, big government, big corporations, big sports,
00:23:38.720 you know, it seems like it controls Hollywood, the higher education. And so we're just trying to
00:23:43.420 say, look, there's a fiduciary responsibility here. You may control all these things left, but you
00:23:49.120 don't control we the people. We the people still speak at election time. And they're through their
00:23:53.380 elected representatives. We're going to try to find out what the heck's going on here and put a stop
00:23:57.560 to it if we can. The the effort to do that, I think it's really important, if I may say, for this
00:24:04.940 reason, Wall Street controls much and dominates policy and through lobbying. But this is a new approach
00:24:14.260 on the part of Fink and BlackRock and the major firms, as you well know, but for the audience
00:24:20.560 explanation to the audience. This is an effort through not for profits, NGOs as well, to drive
00:24:29.640 policy and supplant the power of the federal government. And by golly, for three years, they've
00:24:35.300 gotten away with it, haven't they? Yeah. And it's this trend where government
00:24:41.520 cozies up to to business, maybe winks at them and then business does what government wants
00:24:46.620 without the direct maybe the direct, you know, changing the law or directly coming from the
00:24:53.780 from from the policymakers and from the government. I mean, it's frankly where we started the decision
00:24:59.060 last week from Judge Doty. Government was so intertwined with big tech in pressuring
00:25:04.160 them to censor speech. They said they said it was government doing the action. Well, this
00:25:09.100 is kind of the same thing, even though because you got all the left talking about, oh, we got
00:25:14.060 to have this woke agenda. We got to do this stuff. It's about the environment. It's about
00:25:17.460 governance. It's about the social. It's all these things. And so you have the finance, the
00:25:22.180 big the big money interest doing what government's been talking about without actually having a
00:25:27.160 law passed to say that. So it's the same kind of dynamic. And we're saying, look, there's
00:25:31.880 a fiduciary duty you have to the shareholders. You don't seem to be focused on that. You seem
00:25:37.300 to be much more focused on left wing policy. You and I have spent enough time in Washington,
00:25:43.120 me as an observer and you making policy and and and making law. I have to say, I have not heard
00:25:51.100 as arrogant a statement as we heard this past weekend coming from the Secret Service saying
00:25:57.880 that their investigation will conclude this week whether or not they have identified a suspect
00:26:04.340 in the cocaine caper at the Biden White House. Can you help me out on that?
00:26:12.180 No, you got I mean, you have to laugh, but I mean, you shouldn't because it's so serious. I mean,
00:26:18.640 you got drugs in the in the White House. I mean, what is going on? So why won't the why won't
00:26:27.860 the White House just answer the question? Was it the first family or not? Like, you should
00:26:31.700 be able to know that much, for goodness sake. But they won't even answer that that question.
00:26:35.860 It's like, what? I don't know. They said they didn't want to violate the Hatch Act.
00:26:44.660 Yeah, I think they've used that excuse a couple of times, for goodness sake. It's crazy.
00:26:49.500 I used to get it. I used to think that they were idiots. But you know what I think? I think they
00:26:56.720 think we're idiots to say something like that. And they keep doing it. They keep getting away with
00:27:01.740 it. And I know that James Comer, the head of oversight, is going to go for an investigation,
00:27:10.100 I hope immediately, because this can't be America and have this kind of nonsense happening in our
00:27:19.180 White House, in our government. Yeah. Yeah. You can't make it up. It just I don't I don't get it.
00:27:25.500 But I mean, what has it been now, two and a half years of this administration? And I mean,
00:27:31.320 everything I can't I literally can't think of one thing they've done right. You look at the border,
00:27:37.540 you look at inflation, you look at crime, you look at energy policy. I mean, you look at foreign
00:27:42.940 policy. There's not one thing they've done right. And now you add to it, drugs in the White House,
00:27:49.500 we're going to say, what's going on? So it's why it's so important. There was a great, great video on
00:27:56.160 Twitter this week, and it showed Joe Biden, you know, we shouldn't we're not making fun of it or
00:28:02.740 anything, but Joe Biden on the beach just and then they showed President Trump walking into the
00:28:07.420 to the UFC fight. And just what a contrast in energy and folk. I mean, just it was unbelievable
00:28:13.620 to see. And I think the country is waking up to the fact that how good we had it under
00:28:17.320 President Trump's leadership and how we don't have any leadership, frankly, right now
00:28:21.320 from this administration. Well, to our words were never spoken. We always give our guests the last
00:28:29.120 word, Mr. Chairman. So if you would, your concluding thoughts here today. And thanks for being with us.
00:28:33.960 Well, the good news is there, you know, even though the mainstream press is left and they don't want
00:28:39.860 to they don't want to cover the real news and they want to be biased to the to the left. We got good
00:28:44.200 people like you out there getting the truth out there. So thanks for what you do. And we'll look
00:28:48.540 forward to coming back on sometime real soon. Congressman Jordan, thanks so much. We appreciate
00:28:53.240 it, Mr. Chairman. All best. Take care. You bet. Congressman Jim Jordan, a great American.

00:29:04.380 American people. And he's a great leader of the Republican Party. Our guest here tomorrow is John
