The Great America Show - REP. JAMES COMER THINKS REPUBLICANS ARE READY TO DISRUPT & DISMANTLE OUR CORRUPT FEDERAL BUREAUCRACY

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. Lou Dobbs here, and thanks for joining us on The Great America Show. Welcome.

00:00:05.560 You'll be glad to hear that the Biden regime is warning communist China not to send lethal 0.93

00:00:11.420 weaponry and arms to Russia. Biden's national security advisor, Jake Sullivan, this weekend

00:00:18.000 warned China not to send lethal aid to Russia. Warning China, mind you, even as Biden is sending

00:00:25.660 more than $110 billion to Ukraine and Zelensky to fight China's strategic partner, Russia.

00:00:33.220 And Biden's Secretary of State, Tony Blinken, and CIA Director William Burns joining in that

00:00:39.720 warning to Xi Jinping, both seemingly indifferent to the likelihood that Xi will support his partner,

00:00:47.820 Vladimir Putin. This isn't looking good, folks. And at the same time, the Biden regime is warning

00:00:53.820 China. They're also telling NATO nations to ignore China's repeated efforts to negotiate a peace

00:01:00.900 settlement between Ukraine and Russia, talking with the UK, Germany, and France, putting the United

00:01:08.140 States in a bit of a mess. Biden pressing Zelensky to fight on instead of negotiating, while Biden

00:01:15.400 opposes China, leading in talks to de-escalate hostilities. Only the Biden administration could

00:01:21.920 be this messed up. Meanwhile, the New York Post reporting China's police are hunting down Chinese

00:01:28.660 citizens here in the United States and maintaining a number of police stations here in the United

00:01:34.160 States. And Congress is only now preparing legislation to shut them down. The 118th Congress has been

00:01:42.500 underway now for less than two months. The principal committees investigating political corruption of the

00:01:48.380 Biden regime and Marxist Dems are making good progress already. Those committees are the House

00:01:55.020 Oversight Committee, the Judiciary Committee, and the Select Subcommittee on Weaponization of the

00:02:01.460 Federal Government. The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the involvement of

00:02:07.360 President Biden in his family's business dealings with corporations, with governments, officials,

00:02:12.780 and individuals in influence peddling schemes, whether foreign or domestic. The House Oversight

00:02:19.640 Committee is Congress's principal investigative committee with the broadest investigative authority.

00:02:26.360 Our guest today is the man who leads that committee, Congressman James Comer, chairman of the

00:02:31.540 Oversight Committee. And Congressman, great to have you with us and welcome. Thanks for all you and

00:02:37.440 Judiciary Chairman Jordan and your members and staff are doing for the American people.

00:02:41.940 If you will, what's your judgment on what appears to be a very strong start?

00:02:47.560 Yeah, I think everything is going according to plan. We've requested every bit of information that I said

00:02:53.400 on your show during the campaign we would request. We've run into every roadblock imaginable, which we factored

00:03:00.040 that in. But where we are having success, Lou, is with the people that were in the Hunter Biden orbit and in the

00:03:07.500 Joe Biden influence peddling orbit. They're starting to come in. We've requested financial information.

00:03:14.740 My lawyers are working with their lawyers. We're trying to get that information in as we speak. And I

00:03:20.120 believe we're going to have a lot of success from the banks, even though the Treasury Department

00:03:26.700 is blocking us from getting the suspicious activity reports that every committee had access to prior

00:03:33.740 to Joe Biden becoming president. So I think we're going according to plan and we're not going to let

00:03:38.800 up. This is very serious. And I think the evidence is overwhelming that this family's been involved in

00:03:45.180 some very shady business dealings that could compromise our national security.

00:03:49.520 Well, that it is. That's great to hear that it's going that well. And I know that Hunter Biden,

00:03:57.400 for example, has already refused to cooperate with your investigation and in no uncertain terms,

00:04:04.960 your reaction to his response, which I assume didn't surprise you.

00:04:10.820 No, but you think about Hunter Biden, if I were innocent and the Democrats were saying bad

00:04:17.540 things about me, I would want to clear my name. But the problem Hunter Biden has is the evidence

00:04:22.880 is overwhelming that he was paid millions and millions of dollars just for simply being a Biden.

00:04:28.900 Now, we want to know what did he provide our adversaries in China, Ukraine and Russia in return

00:04:36.260 for the millions and millions of dollars that he received. We want to know if he was a part of any of

00:04:42.200 the mishandled classified documents that were at the place where he was living for two years. We have

00:04:48.260 a lot of questions for Hunter Biden, as well as Jim Biden, the president's brother. Unfortunately,

00:04:54.560 as you said, Lou, they're not cooperating with us, but we have other avenues. And I believe at the end

00:05:00.020 of the day, we'll be successful in obtaining the information that we need to be able to conduct a

00:05:06.100 thorough investigation of the influence peddling schemes for the Biden family.

00:05:11.920 As you say, the Biden family, as it is, as it is, as it appears right now,

00:05:18.120 involved in so many business dealings. And if nothing else, their timing seemed to be perfect,

00:05:24.080 coinciding with Joe Biden's terms in office as vice president, and now president. That,

00:05:31.920 that is going to be a very tough and I would guess very complicated investigation. Is it your sense

00:05:40.600 it's going to be complicated or am I overstating it? Well, it just, it obviously depends. We're trying

00:05:48.640 to keep a narrow focus. We want to follow the money. We know of about 25 different sources of

00:05:57.620 questionable revenue that the Bidens received through various shell organizations. The money

00:06:04.000 usually didn't come from, say, China to the Bidens. It usually went from China to an LLC that

00:06:12.760 the Bidens had a small interest in. Then the LLC would pay both Hunter Biden and Jim Biden for

00:06:19.440 consulting fees. We would like to know what they did in exchange for the consulting fees. What type of

00:06:26.480 consulting did they in fact do? So, you know, this was something that you can tell the Bidens knew

00:06:34.660 didn't need to become public. They tried every way in the world to keep Joe out of it. They

00:06:41.380 referenced to Joe Biden as the big guy. They gave him several other nicknames. They would always

00:06:48.120 make sure that people were very careful not to mention Joe Biden. But according to all the people

00:06:54.960 we've spoken with who were involved in the business dealings, according to the emails,

00:06:58.780 the text messages, and the pictures, Joe Biden knew very well what his family was doing.

00:07:03.520 What I think is ironic and one reason that the bank suspected the Bidens of money laundering

00:07:08.540 was that they just shifted money around from LLC to LLC. And what they were doing, in my opinion,

00:07:14.980 Lou, they weren't laundering money. They were just trying to hide the source of the money.

00:07:19.960 And the source oftentimes was the Chinese Communist Party.

00:07:24.960 Unbelievable. And in that orbit, as you were talking about, Eric Swerin, I understand,

00:07:33.320 is producing documents. Is he cooperating further with your committee?

00:07:38.920 So far, I'm very optimistic that he's working with our committee. Our attorneys are in

00:07:44.660 communication. He's a very important witness in this. There are other witnesses that we're

00:07:51.160 communicating with and in the process of obtaining documents from. So I believe that there are going

00:07:57.660 to be plenty of people who were involved with the Bidens who are going to come forward with

00:08:02.680 a lot of information that we need. You know, another thing with Jim Biden, you know, he flies under

00:08:09.120 the radar, Lou, because he didn't leave a laptop lying around. But Jim Biden's involved in a lot of

00:08:15.640 different lawsuits right now where people who were dissatisfied with the, quote, consulting that

00:08:22.000 Jim Biden provided. So there's a lot of public records with respect to ongoing litigation with

00:08:29.720 Jim Biden. So, you know, this family just doesn't have a good track record of producing much of value to

00:08:38.380 people who have been partners with them. Now, what we want to know is, did China, Russia, and Ukraine

00:08:44.800 receive a return on their investment? Because they've made a pretty significant investment

00:08:49.220 in the Bidens, if you consider what they paid Hunter Biden and Jim Biden, as well as what they

00:08:54.500 transferred to Joe Biden through the University of Delaware and the University of Pennsylvania.

00:08:58.980 It's extraordinary. And Swerwin, again, known as Mr. Money for the Biden family, he was involved in

00:09:09.800 lots of their personal finances and seemed to run not only being in the partnership for some of these

00:09:17.140 business enterprises or dealings, but also the family's private money. He seems to be a critical

00:09:25.060 component. He was. And you see emails where he was making deposits on behalf of Joe Biden when he

00:09:32.440 was vice president. He was also transferring money from Joe to Hunter while he was vice president. I

00:09:38.140 believe there was a time that Joe Biden was asked about Mr. Sherwin and he acted like he didn't know

00:09:42.800 him, but he had access to a checking account. So, Lou, I don't know how many people have access to your

00:09:47.100 checking account, but if there are any people with access to your checking account, I'm pretty sure you're

00:09:52.720 very familiar with them, just like any other American would be. So the Bidens just haven't been

00:09:58.560 truthful with the American people about the extent of their influence peddling. And also what we're

00:10:06.480 going to be able to prove very easily is Joe Biden knew very well what his family was involved in,

00:10:12.820 who they were meeting with, who they were receiving payments from, and some of the

00:10:17.540 quote unquote business and consulting deals they were supposedly performing.

00:10:22.720 Well, President Biden in Ukraine for what was a spectacular photo op, I'm not sure what else it

00:10:30.120 accomplished, but it did give him a chance to give the Ukrainians another $500 million. And he's operating

00:10:40.580 as a man that is, in fact, the big guy with a 10 point big. This is outrageous what he's doing in that

00:10:50.460 country at this moment, unilaterally, it appears.

00:10:55.240 Yeah, the Burisma deal just stinks to high heaven. I mean, we have a lot of questions about Joe Biden

00:11:02.140 as vice president, and what he actually did, and why he did it in getting that special prosecutor

00:11:09.940 fired. We had a member of the House Oversight Committee, a Democrat member say that they were knew

00:11:16.320 exactly what went on there, and Joe Biden fired the prosecutor because he wasn't hard enough on

00:11:22.020 the corrupt Burisma deal. And I don't know if you saw that, Lou.

00:11:27.240 I did.

00:11:27.900 I thought, so he fired the guy because he wasn't hard enough on the corrupt company that his son was

00:11:35.900 getting paid $80,000 a month for being a director of? I mean, none of this stuff makes sense. They're

00:11:41.820 insulting the intelligence of the American people. And it's a sad day for the media, because the media

00:11:49.100 is turning a blind eye to this whole story with respect to the corruption that went on in Burisma.

00:11:55.940 The real quid pro quo in Ukraine was Joe Biden with what he did with the special prosecutor in

00:12:03.720 exchange for American foreign aid to Ukraine. So Joe Biden's been very cozy with Ukraine,

00:12:10.040 dating back to his time as vice president. And if you look at the benefits that his son received

00:12:18.200 for sitting on a board which he had no experience and had no qualifications or qualities,

00:12:25.940 that would add value to that board, other than being the son of the vice president who controlled

00:12:30.260 the foreign aid. I mean, it's just a joke that the media is not pressing Joe Biden while he's in

00:12:36.020 Ukraine right now about coming forward and being truthful about what he really did to protect his

00:12:43.420 son and that corrupt energy company that he was making so much money every month from being a director of.

00:12:48.500 And you're talking about Ukraine, and then there's China, the dealings with CFC. This is a remarkable

00:12:59.940 family, as it turns out, because as we see more of what is out there, then there's the dealings with

00:13:07.080 Kazakhstan, the dealings, you know, across the board, here with a number of countries, it goes on and on. And yet,

00:13:18.440 Hunter Biden, in this in the District of Delaware, the US attorneys is not has not moved one inch in the

00:13:27.360 investigation and prosecution of Hunter Biden for first tax evasion. And now, in front of him, all of this,

00:13:35.240 uh, plus, uh, you know, a number of certain federal felonies. Your thoughts about that?

00:13:42.680 Well, you know, people assume because that US attorney was appointed by Donald Trump, that he's

00:13:48.540 going to be a model conservative, that's going to do the right thing. And he's not going to worry about

00:13:54.620 the Biden's or the Democrat Party or whatever. But, you know, I know that in Kentucky, even when Obama

00:14:01.480 was president McConnell had a big say and who got to be US attorney. So they, the president works,

00:14:09.000 deals out with the senators on who these US attorneys are. I don't know what the thought

00:14:13.880 process was, and who was in charge of appointing the US attorneys when Trump was president for Delaware.

00:14:19.400 But this US attorney had had, uh, dealing had an opportunity to go after the Biden's, uh, years ago.

00:14:26.760 Uh, and in fact, it was Bo Biden, the president's other son, uh, that was involved in some campaign

00:14:34.040 donations from a person that got indicted, uh, as well. Joe Biden was involved in some of these

00:14:39.160 campaign donations when he was a senator. And then when he ran for, for president against Obama,

00:14:44.360 uh, but, uh, you know, nothing ever happened. So yeah, I don't know much about this US attorney,

00:14:50.120 other than he's had an opportunity to investigate the Biden's before, and he chose not to. Uh, we

00:14:56.760 all know that he's just been silent for a long time. Uh, we know what's on that laptop. Lou,

00:15:02.360 you've seen what's on that laptop. I mean, there's enough to indict Hunter Biden. Now there was enough

00:15:07.960 to indict Hunter Biden, uh, three or four years ago with what's on the laptop. So for whatever reason,

00:15:13.720 this US attorney, uh, hasn't, uh, produced very many results. And you are producing results already

00:15:22.920 because people are standing up and taking notice whether they, uh, are working, uh, formerly

00:15:28.680 working with Hunter Biden, whether they're in the Biden family or the democratic, uh, the democratic

00:15:35.560 leadership. Amongst those, uh, watching right now, uh, those, uh, following the classified document

00:15:42.840 scandal of the Biden's, whether it is the Penn Biden center at the university of Pennsylvania,

00:15:48.760 or whether it is the residence of the president, uh, in Wilmington or another of his vacation homes

00:15:55.800 in Delaware, this man has been busy with classified documents that you're going to reach. I am sure to

00:16:03.720 that. Uh, are you not? Because you are after all investigating the president of the United States.

00:16:10.920 That's correct, Lou. The first person we brought in for a transcribed interview

00:16:15.160 was the general counsel for the national archives. And we asked questions as to why,

00:16:22.280 if you go to the website of the national archives, are there all these stories and press releases

00:16:28.040 about the raid on Mar-a-Lago for, for president Trump's supposed mishandling and classified documents,

00:16:34.040 but yet no mention of Joe Biden's mishandling of classified documents. And the fact that Joe Biden

00:16:40.040 had classified documents mishandled in at least four different locations. If you just got your

00:16:45.000 information from the website of the national archives, you would never know that Joe Biden

00:16:49.960 ever had mishandled any classified documents. And the response that the, the general counsel gave was,

00:16:57.480 he did produce fresh releases about Joe Biden, but he wasn't allowed to post them on the website.

00:17:03.960 So the only two people that could have prevented him from posting them on the website would have

00:17:08.440 been Merrick Garland or Joe Biden. That's the chain of command, uh, with respect to the general

00:17:14.200 counsel for the national archives. We also asked about why he responded to requests from Carolyn Maloney,

00:17:20.280 my predecessor, who was chairman of the house oversight committee, uh, with her request about

00:17:26.200 Mar-a-Lago, but he never responded to my request when I became chairman of the committee in January

00:17:31.400 about the raids at the different Biden residences. And he said he did respond, but he wasn't allowed to

00:17:37.880 send the correspondence to me. So this is, this was two examples of either the department of justice or the

00:17:45.640 White House blocking the national archives from, from doing what they should do and being transparent

00:17:51.480 with the American people and responding to the chairman of the house oversight committee. You throw

00:17:56.840 in the fact that I don't believe we would have ever known about the first batch of documents that were

00:18:03.320 mishandled that were found on November 2nd. I don't think we would have ever known about that had someone

00:18:08.680 not leaked to the press that those documents had been found at the Biden residence. So

00:18:15.480 they've never been transparent with the American people about the documents. We're concerned that

00:18:21.240 there are at least two emails that Hunter Biden sent that may have in fact been classified documents.

00:18:29.960 But as you know, Lou, this administration is not being transparent and the Department of Justice

00:18:35.160 is doing everything in their ability to protect this president.

00:18:38.680 Does it seem to you at this moment in, in history, in this moment in which you're involved in a,

00:18:47.160 a fundamental, the incipient point of what will be the preservation of the Republic,

00:18:53.400 I truly believe, if you can succeed? Is it your sense that the federal government is now permeated

00:19:00.920 with Marxist Dems, left wing, deep staters, whether it's the Department of Justice, the FBI,

00:19:08.600 I mean, for crying out loud, the National Archives, the Homeland Security Department,

00:19:13.560 it's department after department, agency after agency. These are, the Bidens are a protected group

00:19:20.680 in this. And they are across, just by the way, it's reminiscent of the Clintons as well.

00:19:26.280 Uh, this government seems to be brimming with Marxist Democrats.

00:19:33.240 You know, Lou, I agree. We, we saw when the Clintons were president that there were

00:19:38.840 unelected bureaucrats and agencies that bent over backwards to protect the Clintons 0.96

00:19:43.000 and some of their scandals. But what's happened from the time Bill Clinton was president to today

00:19:49.000 when Joe Biden's president is the fact that the federal government has significantly grown.

00:19:54.920 I don't know very many conservatives whose children apply for jobs in the federal government. It's the,

00:20:02.680 the average federal employee by nature, especially the ones in Washington, D.C.,

00:20:08.120 are overwhelmingly liberal. Uh, they're, they're, you know, educated on the East Coast at the liberal,

00:20:16.680 many Ivy League schools. Uh, these people are appreciative of the fact that Joe Biden

00:20:23.560 turns a blind eye and lets these unelected bureaucrats continue to operate their agencies 1.00

00:20:29.560 in any manner they want to spend money in any manner they want without any oversight or checks

00:20:34.600 or balances. So they've got a pretty good deal with Joe Biden. And it's unfortunate, you know,

00:20:39.800 you had Donald Trump, he came in, he tried to disrupt the, the deep state of the federal bureaucracies,

00:20:47.160 and, you know, he, they fought back. And unfortunately, the media is the entity that,

00:20:52.520 that should be the one that comes in and, and ultimately decides that, wait a minute now,

00:20:59.080 the, the deep state's in the wrong, and we're going to have to, uh, reform our federal government.

00:21:04.120 But unfortunately, the, the liberal media is going along with them. So you have a scenario now,

00:21:09.240 we have the liberal media, you have the Department of Justice, you have all these government

00:21:13.720 agencies, and unfortunately you have the FBI all working to shield this administration

00:21:20.280 from any oversight. Heck, we can't even get information on where they're spending the money

00:21:24.600 in Ukraine. You say, well, you, you spent, you know, you, you've offered them 10 billion more

00:21:29.000 dollars. Where's it going? And they'll say, well, it's going to Ukraine. Well, that's not good enough.

00:21:33.320 And it's just, we're in a terrible situation in the federal government. I think House Republicans,

00:21:38.680 uh, are ready to try to dismantle and, and, and try to disrupt this federal bureaucracy,

00:21:45.480 but we're going to have to have some help from our Republicans in the Senate.

00:21:50.840 Well, and, and you, uh, live in a state that is very familiar to the, to the minority leader,

00:21:57.320 uh, in the Senate, uh, your relationship and how hopeful are you that there will be help coming

00:22:03.000 from the Senate? Well, you know, one of the things I think Sarah McConnell was concerned about 0.74

00:22:09.240 when they went along and funded the government for the, for another nine months was the, the uncertainty,

00:22:17.160 uh, with the speakers race and things like that. Look, in nine months, there's no reason for the

00:22:24.120 Senate to, to do anything to continue to fund the federal government at the levels that it's being

00:22:30.440 funded. And there's no reason in the world why we can't hold funding, withhold funding on different

00:22:36.760 agencies and different bureaucrats who are clearly violating the constitution, who are clearly

00:22:42.600 violating the law, who are clearly bending over backwards to protect this administration

00:22:48.440 from needed oversight. So, uh, we're going to be sounding the alarm. We're going to be putting

00:22:53.160 pressure on these senators to work with us, to try to hold Washington DC accountable to the American

00:22:59.640 people and the American taxpayers. Well, that, that is, first I'll say good for you. Uh,

00:23:06.840 secondly, I think that's another chore that faces you. That's going to, it's difficult, uh, just,

00:23:13.160 just thinking about, uh, Mitt Romney, uh, and some of the others, Lindsey Graham. I think that's a very

00:23:19.640 difficult, uh, task you have in front of us because they are, they're not so much liberal as they are

00:23:26.120 contrarian, uh, and, uh, they are following somewhat different stars, I believe than,

00:23:33.320 than most of us. Uh, it's, it's really inconceivable about how they determine what is in the national

00:23:39.320 interest in the rarefied era of the U S Senate, uh, and, uh, under Republican colors. Let me turn to

00:23:45.720 the, a couple of things you were talking about the bank. I want to go back to that a bit because we've

00:23:50.200 talked about the suspicious activity reports that the banks file when they suspect money laundering

00:23:55.720 and other criminality, the banks themselves, if you're refused by the treasury department and

00:24:02.280 secretary Yellen, the banks themselves, uh, have every opportunity to provide those to you. Do they not

00:24:10.040 under subpoena if necessary? Under subpoena because of privacy laws, they're going to have to be subpoenaed.

00:24:15.080 Uh, we've been communicating with the banks for several months, even prior to the November

00:24:19.960 midterm elections. Uh, we feel like the banks are in a position now, uh, once they get subpoenaed to

00:24:27.000 provide the majority of the information that we're requesting, there's still a bank or two that we're,

00:24:32.840 we're negotiating with, but I think you're going to see the subpoenas come very soon. And, you know,

00:24:38.600 one wrench, the, the lawyers for Hunter Biden, they continue to reach out to every,

00:24:44.440 they know exactly. It's funny, Lou. They know exactly who we're trying to communicate with for

00:24:49.720 information. It's like they, they, they know what the problem is. They know where we're going,

00:24:57.320 which shows they know that this family has been involved in influence funding.

00:25:02.840 They had 13 different banks. You know, this is a family. You're talking about business, Lou.

00:25:07.560 What is their business? They don't own anything. They don't have any real estate.

00:25:11.000 They don't manufacture anything. They're not licensed to sell anything. They're not registered

00:25:15.160 lobbyists. So what is their business? They don't, they don't, it's influence peddling.

00:25:20.680 They have 13 different banks. They got bank violations at every one of those banks. I mean,

00:25:26.760 that says a lot about the type of business this family was involved in. So, uh, you're going to see

00:25:34.440 these records. Uh, we've tried to give this administration every opportunity in the world

00:25:39.560 to do what every other administration has done. When the house oversight chairman requests those

00:25:44.440 suspicious activity reports, they provide them. But Joe Biden changed the rules to where we couldn't

00:25:49.480 get them. I wonder why. And why isn't the mainstream media holding him accountable for that? Can you

00:25:54.440 imagine if Donald Trump did that? What the media would be doing that they would be demanding that the

00:25:59.480 Democrats impeached Donald Trump for that? So we're going to get the information from the banks.

00:26:04.680 I'm making sure every I is dotted and every T is crossed because when we do these subpoenas,

00:26:10.760 if people don't abide by the subpoena, then it goes to court. If they don't comply with the subpoena,

00:26:18.680 it goes to court. I want to make sure that every time we subpoena someone, we can win in court and get

00:26:24.600 that information. So, uh, I think you'll be seeing subpoenas go out very soon for, for the bank

00:26:30.040 information. May I touch upon one thing, uh, there, if you will, Congressman, uh, when that subpoena is

00:26:38.520 issued demanding production of the information you require, whatever documents, uh, they deny it,

00:26:45.160 you go to court, you prevail. And what, what happens then? What do you win in court and how do you enforce

00:26:52.600 it? Well, the court will order that they go. Now, if you look at, at say Steve Bannon,

00:26:59.080 when the January 6th committee subpoenaed him, he didn't come. There were, there were two things

00:27:03.880 that the courts did. They, they are two things that Congress did. Number one, they, they took him to

00:27:09.320 court and one, and the other, they held him in contempt of Congress, which obviously helps too. So

00:27:16.280 I think we saw some new tools that Congress can do, uh, through their January 6th committee,

00:27:23.240 which, you know, wasn't even a real committee, Lou, the house oversight committee has been around since

00:27:27.880 Abraham Lincoln was, was in Congress. He was on what is today, the house oversight committee. So

00:27:32.440 this committee has been around a long time and I feel like our subpoena would have more merit in court,

00:27:39.400 even though we've got a department of justice that's doing everything in their ability to block meaningful,

00:27:46.680 constitutionally authorized oversight. So, uh, but we're going to win in court and that's why we're

00:27:53.640 making sure everything we do, uh, is done right. We're having plenty of legal counsel look over

00:27:59.960 everything because this is very important and we're not going to let this administration continue to

00:28:05.080 get by, uh, with all of the potential corruption that we've already seen out of this administration

00:28:10.920 over the past two decades. And, and Mr. Chairman, will you indeed subpoena the Biden's to, to testify

00:28:19.480 before your committee? Well, it's going to be hard with the president. Now with the family members,

00:28:25.080 it's a lot easier. Uh, we're, I'm going to hold out on that till we get the information. If we get all

00:28:30.760 the banking information we want, we'll invite them to come to the committee. And if they don't want to

00:28:36.360 defend themselves, uh, or defend the indefensible, then, then I don't know what else needs to be done.

00:28:44.440 Uh, once we get the banking records and we get all of the witnesses under oath to testify,

00:28:50.680 either in a committee hearing or in, in a deposition or transcribed interview, then I think we'll have

00:28:56.280 enough information. Uh, we welcome the Bidens to come to the committee anytime they want. And again,

00:29:02.280 if I were, if I were Hunter Biden and I were innocent, like his lawyers and all the hit people

00:29:06.760 that work in the white house that attacked Jim Jordan and me every day, if, if they're telling the

00:29:11.000 truth, I would want to come to the house oversight committee and, and clear my good name. But for

00:29:17.240 whatever reason, they, they won't respond to any of our requests and they continue to have their,

00:29:24.120 uh, attack dogs bark every day from the white house that Ian Sam's, uh, the president's little

00:29:31.400 weenie guy comes out every day and attacks me anytime I requested information this week

00:29:36.200 on where the money was going in Ukraine. And he, he attacked me for having the audacity

00:29:41.160 to want to know where our tax dollars are being spent in Ukraine.

00:29:44.680 Well, Congressman, I think you, you got the quote that we're going to see in

00:29:50.440 quite a bit of media, as you describe that. Yeah. That gentleman, uh, in the white house,

00:29:56.840 I will say gentlemen in parentheses, in quotation marks, as well as parentheses.

00:30:02.200 Uh, we always give our guests the last, uh, the last word on this. I may, I first though, ask you

00:30:09.080 the J six video. Do you think that speaker McCarthy may have made a mistake giving that

00:30:14.920 to journalists with one show rather than putting it before the American people?

00:30:21.720 I haven't talked to Kevin McCarthy about that. I think sunshine is the best disinfectant.

00:30:26.120 I'm an oversight guy through and through. I think the more people that have access to it,

00:30:30.120 the better. But, uh, you know, we'll, we'll see what Tucker Carlson is going to do with that

00:30:35.160 information. I know the people on my committee and Lou, many of them come on your show. Uh,

00:30:39.800 many good firebrand Republicans that serve on the house oversight committee. They want

00:30:45.320 the American people to have access to those, to those videos. So I don't agree with Chuck Schumer

00:30:50.920 and the Democrats saying that that's compromising the security of the Capitol. I mean,

00:30:55.240 you can see pictures of the Capitol on Google. I mean, there, there's doors all the way around it.

00:30:59.640 There's windows. I mean, we, you saw how the Capitol was compromised. I don't see how this video,

00:31:05.480 uh, would in any way, shape or form compromise the security of the Capitol. So I think

00:31:09.880 the best disinfectant is sunshine and hopefully every American will have access to those tapes at some

00:31:15.160 point. Well, if I may, I, I'm going to, uh, I will speak only for myself, but I think that you

00:31:23.080 and I agree that what those, uh, that video, which the lawyers for all of the 800 plus folks, uh,

00:31:30.040 that have been political prisoners of the Marxist Dem party, uh, they desperately need that video,

00:31:36.760 uh, for their legal purposes and talking about security. They are, their security is,

00:31:43.640 and safety now is at stake. And I hope that the speaker will amend his judgment and make certain

00:31:51.000 that the lawyers and those political prisoners who have been in jail in some cases for now over

00:31:57.640 two years, uh, get access to that desperately needed video. Uh, but again, speaking only for myself,

00:32:05.400 Mr. Chairman, uh, the last word, I promise you, and, uh, if you would, your concluding thoughts.

00:32:12.520 Well, I just appreciate you, your interest in this, Lou, you're on top of this. This is very

00:32:18.680 important. Uh, we need to know exactly, uh, why the Biden's received so much money from China, uh,

00:32:25.160 through their various personal accounts and through the, the universities affiliated with

00:32:29.160 Joe Biden, we need to make certain that they weren't, uh, doing anything improper with those,

00:32:34.280 uh, classified documents. And I think, uh, we could do that and get it done quickly. If the,

00:32:39.400 if the administration will work with us and we're not going to let up.

00:32:42.760 We appreciate your time and God bless you. We all appreciate the hard work that you and your

00:32:47.800 committee and staff are doing, uh, an extraordinary challenge and one we know, uh,

00:32:52.520 against which you will prevail. Thanks so much for being with us.

00:32:55.320 Thanks for having me, Lou.

00:32:56.840 Congressman James Comer, chairman of the house oversight committee, a great American.

00:33:02.600 Chairman Comer, you may have noticed mentioned the white house attack dogs who are barking at him

00:33:08.040 almost every day. Ian Sam is the white house spokesman that he referred to. And if I may

00:33:14.280 suggest everybody just watch this white house and these Marxist Dems as they attack the house

00:33:21.080 investigators, they've organized public relations and law firms to viciously attack the members of

00:33:27.480 the house oversight committee judiciary and the weaponization subcommittee all it's it's all

00:33:34.120 truly outrageous. And I would urge you to tell your congressmen and senators how much you appreciate

00:33:40.040 their hard work, the hard work of those investigators who are truly presenting the American people

00:33:46.520 and our Republic. The white house attack dogs went after Congressman Comer because he wants an accounting.

00:33:53.720 Now listen to this because he wants an accounting of how more than a hundred billion dollars

00:33:59.640 is being spent by the white house in Ukraine. The white house couldn't understand why he would want

00:34:05.400 to do that. As chairman Comer said, sunshine is the best disinfectant, but clearly the Biden regime

00:34:13.000 is in a very dark place. Thanks everybody for being with us. And here tomorrow, our guest will be

00:34:19.160 NBA player Ennis Cantor. Cantor has been outspoken. He's been courageous in his condemnation of the

00:34:25.880 communist Chinese and their treatment of the Uyghurs and the NBA has blackballed him for his criticism

00:34:32.840 of China. And of course, the NBA's hypocrisy. Please join us here tomorrow for Ennis Cantor 0.82

00:34:40.120 and what some call the communist Chinese control of the NBA. Till then, follow me on Twitter at

00:34:46.680 Lou Dobbs on Truth Social at Lou Dobbs. Thank you. God bless you. And God bless America.
