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
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.
00:11:27.900
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
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
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
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.
00:32:56.840
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
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.
