00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs. Welcome to this episode of The Great America Show
00:00:04.680 on another beautiful day in America. And what do the radical Marxist Dems do with such a splendid
00:00:11.500 day? They spew more venom and vile lies, pursue the innocent, and mock patriots and all we love
00:00:18.820 about this country. The politically corrupt Department of Justice and the vile January 6
00:00:24.820 committee going after our friend Steve Bannon, once President Trump's campaign CEO, then in the
00:00:31.260 White House, the president's chief strategist, then a conflict with Jared Kushner. And Steve is now host
00:00:38.080 of the top political podcast in the country, Steve Bannon's War Room. Last October, the January 6
00:00:45.440 committee subpoenaed Steve to appear. Steve refused, and now the DOJ has him on trial for telling the
00:00:52.940 highly partisan Soviet-style show committee to stuff it. My words, not Steve's. He simply ignored the
00:01:00.160 subpoena. So here we are, the lying, soulless creeps who make up that committee, led by Adam Schiff, 0.97
00:01:07.580 Jamie Raskin, Liz Cheney, all going after another Trump presidential advisor. At least they didn't 0.95
00:01:14.600 try to manacle Bannon like they did Peter Navarro. Steve's trial, set to resume this week, the J-6
00:01:21.700 committee itself should be in jail, not Bannon or Navarro. Perhaps one day, not soon, but one day.
00:01:30.660 They should be in jail, if for nothing else, for wasting time and taxpayer money on partisan political
00:01:37.160 persecution, instead of focusing on the extraordinary death toll that is resulting from Biden and his
00:01:44.140 arch minion, Alejandro Mayorkas, the DHS secretary, who are keeping our southern border wide open,
00:01:52.200 and across which come the drugs that kill so many of our young people. Poisoned by the communist China 0.99
00:01:58.460 and Mexican drug cartels, they provide the chemicals. Cartels manufacture the fentanyl,
00:02:04.940 they ship it at their leisure across the Mexican border, and then distribute it nationwide.
00:02:10.220 Fentanyl is now the number one killer in the age group 18 to 45. Think of that. The number one
00:02:18.220 killer. And these Marxists can't even take time to warn Americans to decry the deaths of so many of
00:02:25.380 our fellow citizens. And it is their policies that open that border, that keeps that border open,
00:02:32.220 and makes the mass poisoning of Americans so easy. The vast corruption of this government
00:02:38.320 is breathtaking and sickening. And it is the corruption of the Biden administration that
00:02:44.420 demands this open border permits these tragic deaths. Among those now investigating this puppet
00:02:51.320 president and his family is the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, Congressman James
00:02:57.500 Comer, a great American. And Congressman, it's good of you to join us. As I understand it, Treasury
00:03:03.660 Secretary Janet Yellen isn't permitting you or your committee to look at bank suspicious activity
00:03:09.820 reports, reports that may reveal considerable illegal activity, including perhaps money laundering of
00:03:17.580 Hunter Biden and the Biden family business dealings, all of that and more. Give us, if you please,
00:03:23.760 a sense of what is going on here. Hunter Biden has had over 150 suspicious activity reports.
00:03:33.040 He's filed against various accounts of his at numerous banks. A suspicious activity report was put into
00:03:40.480 place after September the 11th by the Bush administration when they created the Homeland Security
00:03:45.440 Cabinet to try to track foreign transactions that would fund potential American terror sales. It was then
00:03:53.920 expanded to try to catch people money laundering. So a suspicious activity report is a criminal report. It's
00:04:02.080 a suspicion of criminal activity. I was the director of a bank for over a decade. And believe me,
00:04:08.080 banks don't like to issue these because when you do, you invite all the bank examiners to come in,
00:04:13.920 because this is the most serious of all the banking violations. And Hunter Biden has had 150 of these. Now,
00:04:22.240 prior to Joe Biden becoming president, under the Bush administration, Obama administration,
00:04:28.000 and Trump administration, any member of Congress could request from Treasury a list of suspicious activity reports in their
00:04:36.000 state or in their congressional district. When Joe Biden became president, he, without consulting anyone in Congress in the
00:04:44.000 dark of the night, changed that rule. So when the word, you know, when we determined that Hunter Biden had 150 of these, I
00:04:52.000 went to Treasury and said, okay, I want that, those suspicious activity reports on Hunter Biden. And they said, no,
00:04:57.600 we've changed the rules. You can't have access to that. Well, we started going on TV talking about it. And then they came back last week and said,
00:05:06.000 all right, you know what, we'll let you have those reports. If you could get another Democrat member of Congress to sign on. And Lou, as you can imagine, I've been
00:05:16.000 successful in getting a single member of Congress to sign on.
00:05:20.000 That is just crazy. Janet Yellen is a Treasury Secretary.
00:05:24.000 Are you dealing directly with her office or is there another department within Treasury that you have to deal with?
00:05:30.000 No, we started at the top. This is principal to principal.
00:05:34.000 I'm the top Republican on the House Oversight Committee and she's the Treasury Secretary. 0.95
00:05:38.000 And this is something that was created and has been observed by three previous presidential administrations
00:05:46.000 as a transparent way for members of Congress to access any potential terrorist activity or criminal activity
00:05:54.000 in their, you know, in their districts and their state. So this is something that it's very unfortunate.
00:06:06.000 That's another example of Joe Biden, in my opinion, Lou, being compromised because of Hunter's shady business dealings.
00:06:14.000 Remember, Lou, Joe Biden put sanctions on Russia and sanctions on just about every Russian oligarch.
00:06:23.000 But he left two names off. He left two Russian oligarchs off the sanctions list.
00:06:28.000 Those two just happened to be two that paid Hunter Biden consulting fees in the past. 0.91
00:06:35.000 And then if you look at the stupid decision Joe Biden made in the past week to sell oil reserves to China, 0.89
00:06:42.000 that Chinese company was a company that had paid Hunter Biden in the past. 0.98
00:06:47.000 So more and more bad decisions that Joe Biden's making can be linked to Hunter Biden.
00:06:52.000 I've said all along, Hunter Biden's a national security threat.
00:06:55.000 And the reason we're investigating Hunter Biden is we fear that his shady business dealings have compromised this White House.
00:07:03.000 Well, in talking with Congressman Darrell Issa, he agrees with you 100 percent, point blank, that he is a national security threat.
00:07:14.000 And have you seen the Hunter Biden laptop, the laptop from hell?
00:07:22.000 Have you reviewed that? We have we have that in the oversight committee.
00:07:26.000 We have access to that. And with with that, why isn't there?
00:07:32.000 I mean, Democrats and Republicans alike sit there and see the same thing.
00:07:37.000 Why is there no Democrat who is seeing the same thing that you are?
00:07:42.000 That is a national security threat.
00:07:45.000 Hunter Biden's addiction, his dealings, his business dealings are now in front of the public.
00:07:53.000 And just on the face of it, he's a national security threat.
00:07:57.000 And this president is putting forward at public meetings in the White House with high ranking officials and foreign officials.
00:08:07.000 It's it's stunning to watch.
00:08:11.000 It is. And, Lou, I tend to think that the Democrats are very aware of their Hunter Biden crisis.
00:08:19.000 They have the newest of all the Biden crises, because when I started out, you know, making public statements about Hunter Biden and when Republicans on the House Oversight Committee would go on conservative media outlets and and say that Hunter Biden was a shady business person and a national security threat.
00:08:39.000 Democrats would bark back and they would defend Hunter Biden and then try to pivot and talk about Trump or, you know, some of the Adam Schiff's baseless conspiracy theories on Trump.
00:08:51.000 But now, whenever someone says something about Hunter Biden in Congress, the Democrats just they don't even respond.
00:08:59.000 It's just like, you know, they turn a blind eye. They don't want to fight.
00:09:03.000 That's a battle they can't win because they know Hunter Biden is a crook. 0.97
00:09:08.000 They know Hunter Biden's a grifter and they know Hunter Biden is a huge problem for them in the midterm elections and beyond.
00:09:16.000 Well, one of the questions that arises here, Congressman, is with so many of our representatives knowing what is reviewing that laptop, why can't we, the American public, see what is in it and make judgments for ourselves?
00:09:35.800 Well, I think you're seeing it. You know, there are a lot of members of Congress now.
00:09:40.800 I know in the Senate they have a copy of it. I think judiciary with Jim Jordan has a copy of it and every it's so vast.
00:09:48.800 I mean, you talk about all of his banking records, all of his phone records, emails, and he had seven or eight bank accounts.
00:09:55.800 He had four or five email accounts. He was still using Bo Biden's email account, believe it or not, is his deceased brother.
00:10:02.800 And then, of course, he's got the videos. And I think, honestly, a lot of Republicans are spending too much time looking at his his videos, you know, where he's smoking crack pipe and prostitutes and things like that. 0.54
00:10:15.800 I'm focused on his bank records because, you know, Luke, you don't get a single suspicious activity report filed against you for nothing.
00:10:27.800 And the banks all knew this is not just anybody. This is the son of the vice president of the United States.
00:10:35.440 So the decision to give him a suspicious activity report would not be taken lightly.
00:10:41.440 And, you know, there could have been a cover up with with Treasury during the Obama administration.
00:10:48.440 You know, there's the banks had to have treated him differently than they would treat you or I.
00:10:53.440 If the bank I was affiliated with, if you had a suspicious activity report, once it was cleared up, the bank would politely tell you, don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out because we don't ever want to deal with you again.
00:11:05.440 It's just too much trouble. So, you know, I think that I think you're going to see more and more of the information that is on the hard drive come out.
00:11:17.500 I know media outlets are, you know, I think there's a lot of people that actually have it right now and everybody's wanting to break their own their own story on it.
00:11:27.660 But I think the American people get the picture that Hunter Biden is a shady business character. 0.53
00:11:33.080 What what I think we're going to be able to learn through more of this research and we've got staffers coming through it as we speak, is that Joe Biden's brother, Jim, is just as big a crook as Hunter Biden.
00:11:47.840 What was his involvement that leads you to say that?
00:11:51.060 I think a lot of these accounts that Hunter Biden had bank violations, criminal bank violations.
00:11:57.660 That Jim Biden was involved in those accounts. I think he was also on those accounts.
00:12:04.180 I don't think Hunter Biden's smart enough to pull some of these deals off, even though they're shady deals with shady characters, whether they be in Ukraine, Russia, the Congo, China, wherever.
00:12:17.120 However, I think that Jim Biden was involved in a lot of these and, you know, the in looking at problems with Jim Biden, he's got a lot of lawsuits out there against him and bad in deals that have gone bad.
00:12:33.900 But I suspect that Jim Biden may be in the same kind of tax evasion problem that Hunter is.
00:12:43.740 And I know Jim Biden's had problems in the past.
00:12:46.080 There's been a ProPublica article and other independent research entities that have written about Jim Biden in the past.
00:12:54.800 You know, he worked for a law firm, but he's not a lawyer.
00:12:58.340 He makes a sales pitch just like Hunter does that, you know, promises access to the Biden family name and government at the highest levels in exchange for a fee, which is illegal.
00:13:11.560 But the one difference in Jim Biden and Hunter Biden is Jim Biden was smart enough not to leave his computer abandoned at a computer repair shop for the world to see.
00:13:22.200 That is still inexplicable what happened.
00:13:27.460 Knowing all that we do about Hunter Biden and his problems, he had to be higher than a kite to pull that stunt.
00:13:35.660 What about President Biden's comments in the debate in 2020 that he had never talked to Hunter about his business dealings?
00:13:47.160 We have some considerable evidence that that just is flat not true.
00:13:54.160 It's not true.
00:13:55.440 We heard the video, the phone message that President Biden or then Vice President Biden left for Hunter Biden saying, yeah, all that, I think it's going to blow over.
00:14:06.860 You did a good job.
00:14:07.740 I think you're clear.
00:14:09.020 So he was obviously keeping up with with that problem.
00:14:12.640 And ironically, that Chinese company that he left the voice message about is the company.
00:14:18.020 I'm pretty sure that they sold the strategic oil reserves to.
00:14:21.820 So, you know, there you go.
00:14:24.420 There's another example of Hunter Biden not being truthful.
00:14:28.160 I mean, about Joe Biden not being truthful about knowledge of Hunter Biden's business dealings.
00:14:33.820 And then he turns around and makes a bad policy that puts America last because of because of Hunter.
00:14:42.620 But also another thing, Joe Biden said he didn't know anything about about the business associate that came, Eric Sherwin, that came to the White House 27 times.
00:14:55.680 But then an email surfaced from the laptop that that showed that Eric Sherwin, the guy who Joe Biden supposedly never met, sent Hunter an email saying, hey, your dad's tax refund, Delaware tax refund came in the mail today.
00:15:12.620 I'm going to deposit it into his account and turn around and write a check on him to you for the money he owes you.
00:15:22.840 Now, does that sound like somebody that the vice president wouldn't know he has access to his mail and his checking account?
00:15:29.720 So, you know, there's two examples, the voicemail and the emails where Joe Biden just was not truthful with the American people about the depth of his knowledge of Hunter Biden's shady business dealings and shady business partners.
00:15:43.920 And all of this was known to William Barr, the attorney general, until December, the middle of December, I believe it was December 20th, when he resigned in 2020.
00:16:00.960 William Barr knew that at the time of the debate.
00:16:03.140 He knew that Hunter Biden's laptop was filled with all sorts of compromising data and information and these accounts.
00:16:18.880 He had to know that, don't you think?
00:16:21.100 I think that, I think there were a lot of people that didn't really believe that was a legitimate computer because, you know, those 51 people in the intelligence community came out and said it wasn't, which, you know, we now know was, was complete, completely false. 0.92
00:16:40.460 And I think there were a lot of people that, that may have, I'm not defending William Barr or anything, but I think that there were people that, that didn't think Hunter Biden was that stupid, that would leave a computer with all of that damaging information there at a computer repair shop.
00:17:02.820 Congressman, Congressman, there's a huge problem here, if he didn't, because that means our national security division of the U.S. Justice Department wasn't informing the U.S. Attorney General of what was going on about a presidential candidate. 0.91
00:17:22.460 And when I, when you sit back and you think about that, I'm trying to figure out which is a worse reflection on the corruption, the political corruption of this government.
00:17:31.820 The deep state is aligned, it seems to me clearly and unequivocally with the, the Marxist left that's driving the, the Democrat party now.
00:17:43.700 Yeah. And, and back to the intelligence community, I share your concerns about the intelligence community.
00:17:49.500 In the six years I've been in Congress, I've, my confidence level in the intelligence community has done nothing but, but go down.
00:17:56.980 I, you know, I, you know, we certainly need new leadership at the top.
00:18:00.620 I hope it can be fixed, but for what the taxpayers spend in the intelligence community and for the big decisions that are made, like how to leave Afghanistan and what to do with the weapons and how to respond to Russia and Ukraine.
00:18:17.260 You know, you rely on the intelligence community for a lot of intelligence and it just hasn't been, hasn't been very good.
00:18:25.680 And I guess that dates back to Iraq having weapons of vast destruction. 0.84
00:18:30.240 You know, there's just been a lot of misses from the, from the intelligence community.
00:18:33.740 And certainly with respect to how bad an actor Hunter Biden is, that would be another big miss or omission by our intelligence community.
00:18:45.220 Then they see the Russians massed on the Eastern border of Ukraine and they still don't try to stop an invasion. 0.75
00:18:55.060 It almost looks as though the intelligence division, the National Security Division of the Justice Department, the CIA, the NSA, all of them, they never get lucky.
00:19:10.400 When they make a mistake, it's to the detriment of the United States.
00:19:13.820 And I don't know of a single instance where they have been immensely successful with a brilliant deduction about our enemies and their activities against the United States.
00:19:25.620 Do you?
00:19:27.540 No, I do not disagree with that statement.
00:19:32.220 It's been a big disappointment.
00:19:34.440 And I just hope that for the sake of American national security, it can be turned around.
00:19:41.520 It's just, it's just, there've been a lot of bad, a lot of bad decisions, a lot of bad advice given out by our international intelligence community.
00:19:54.240 And right now, today, we have basically the January 6th committee trying, trying again, President Donald J. Trump.
00:20:04.320 And they're talking about various conversations and who lied about what.
00:20:09.000 And we have only one example to go on.
00:20:14.980 That example, well, we've got more than one person.
00:20:18.580 But the one example is every lie that we have been discovered that in about six years of investigations and persecution of Donald Trump, all of the lies have been from the left.
00:20:30.140 All of the crimes that have been committed have been on the left.
00:20:34.300 And yet, he is now the target of the January 6th committee and the National Press Corps, the national corporate press, are sitting there talking like he is a man who is suspect.
00:20:48.600 When indeed, everyone who is talking about him are the ones who have actually demonstrated their own criminality, their own lack of judgment and ethics throughout the years.
00:21:00.820 And knowing full well that he was innocent, they still persecuted him, which makes it all even, to me, even worse.
00:21:09.320 Well, you know, the January 6th committee, you couldn't have a more partisan group of Trump haters than what you have there.
00:21:20.460 And anything with Adam Schiff on it should have zero credibility with not just the American people, but the mainstream media.
00:21:28.200 Because Adam Schiff has said so many things in his, quote, investigation and his intelligence about Trump and Trump's family that turned out to be completely false.
00:21:40.680 And, I mean, you don't have to go anywhere further than the Steele dossier and all of that that he claimed Trump did with Russia, which wasn't true.
00:21:51.520 And I will tell you, I think that in a very short time period, the Republicans on the Oversight Committee will be able to prove that Biden did a whole lot of bad things with Russia,
00:22:02.660 especially when you look at how he, you know, treated the two Russian oligarchs differently than it paid Hunter Biden in the past.
00:22:11.700 They're still allowed to go out and do business and enjoy their life.
00:22:17.080 But, you know, it's just the Biden crime family, which is what it is with Hunter and Jim Biden, the president's brother.
00:22:27.640 The only places they've ever done business are with their adversaries, with Russia, with China, with Ukraine, the Congo.
00:22:37.940 I mean, they don't, they own, you know, they're, quote, business people, Lou, but they don't own the, they don't own the equipment.
00:22:43.920 They don't manufacture anything.
00:22:45.340 They don't have any employees.
00:22:46.660 They don't have an office.
00:22:48.320 But they get millions of dollars in, quote, fees, you know, for what?
00:22:53.740 But, you know, they're, they influence peddling and you look at lawsuits that, that Jim Biden's in all over the United States right now.
00:23:01.760 He hasn't really been able to deliver on a lot of the promises.
00:23:05.980 But you talk about a quid pro quo, which is what they supposedly impeached Trump over.
00:23:10.800 I mean, that was never proven.
00:23:13.480 And you've got records of a, of a, of the phone call.
00:23:16.480 But with, with Biden, I mean, that's what Hunter and Jim Biden have always done, quid pro quo.
00:23:22.140 They said, ah, you give us money and you'll access to the highest levels of government.
00:23:27.480 I mean, it's just the hypocrisy of the media on how they treat Biden compared to Trump is, is breathtaking.
00:23:34.640 It truly is.
00:23:36.340 And that's a great point.
00:23:37.720 Congressman, the Secret Service acknowledged today that it is a, quote, unquote, aware of the Hunter Biden iCloud hack, as it's, as it's called.
00:23:49.580 What do you know of that?
00:23:51.940 And are you surprised the Secret Service made that acknowledgement?
00:23:56.880 Well, I would say if they acknowledge it, it's the calm before the storm.
00:24:00.800 All I know is the, the video that I've seen, uh, that, that's, that's come out.
00:24:07.760 So, you know, yeah, I can't say with definitive, with the definitive answer much about it.
00:24:16.960 But, you know, the early indications appear that it, it's legitimate.
00:24:24.220 And I'm sure if people have it, it was hacked somehow.
00:24:27.520 Now, it's another example of, uh, recklessness by, by Hunter Biden, but that's going to end up biting them in the butt because, you know, they've got, uh, they're leaving paper trail and, and video trail of some, some damaging conversations that, uh, that involve the president.
00:24:46.460 Now, and you do believe the president is directly, uh, complicit and, uh, uh, implicated in this.
00:24:53.460 I believe the president knows a whole lot more about Hunter Biden than he's told the American people.
00:24:59.320 And we've seen that in an audio and we've seen that now in an email.
00:25:03.040 So the question is when Eric Sherwin says, I'm going to give you, I'm going to write a check from your dad to you for the money he owes you.
00:25:14.860 And one would wonder, is he in fact, the big guy, if he is, that's, that's a problem.
00:25:22.880 That's a, that's a serious problem.
00:25:24.420 They're already, uh, they broke every ethics rule on the planet because immediate family members are not supposed to profit from, from lobbying, which is essentially what Hunter Biden and Jim Biden are, are, are lobbyists to the executive branch.
00:25:40.780 And, you know, if you lobby, not only as immediate family members, you know, you're not allowed to lobby, but you're supposed to have strict reporting guidelines on your clients and the fees and exactly what you're, you know, what you're lobbying on behalf.
00:25:55.020 And they've never done any of that.
00:25:56.460 So that's illegal.
00:25:57.880 But if Joe Biden getting a kickback from it, then, I mean, that's criminal.
00:26:01.860 So we haven't proven that, but, you know, everyone wants to know who the big guy is and, you know, there's, there's already evidence that.
00:26:11.600 Hunter Biden or that Joe Biden, uh, owed Hunter money.
00:26:15.800 So I, you know, I, I don't know.
00:26:17.280 We'll, we'll, we're not going to let up on this.
00:26:20.820 And, you know, we find stuff out.
00:26:23.500 We're going to have committee hearings that aren't going to be one sided.
00:26:28.080 Like this, uh, the January 6th sham committee, we're going to have, you know, the Democrats can put who they want on oversight.
00:26:35.000 We Republicans have who we want.
00:26:36.680 People are going to be subpoenaed.
00:26:38.460 They're going to testify under oath.
00:26:40.280 The Democrats are going to have an opportunity if they want, uh, to counter and, you know, we'll let the American people decide.
00:26:48.300 And, you know, whatever we find out that's illegal, we're going to issue a report and turn it over to the department of justice.
00:26:54.280 And the U S attorney and whomever else would, would, uh, need to have the evidence.
00:27:00.360 Well, uh, to that point, we're looking at all of these polls, uh, that show the Republicans are looking at a wave election.
00:27:09.560 Uh, come November, we're now four months out, uh, a little less than four months out.
00:27:15.580 Uh, give us, give us your sense.
00:27:18.820 Is it going to be a red wave?
00:27:20.660 Is this going to be a landslide for the Republicans?
00:27:23.740 Are we going to actually see the electorate respond to a corrupt, as you put it, crime family, uh, in, in the white house and start purging, uh, these criminals from our government at the, at the ballot box.
00:27:40.540 I hope so.
00:27:43.700 I feel good about it, especially in the house.
00:27:46.360 The, uh, the polls.
00:27:49.440 Oh, well, I mean, you know, Lou, you've covered a long time year in and year out.
00:27:55.180 The issues are always different, but the number one issue is usually the economy.
00:27:59.620 And right now we have massive inflation and it's, uh, you know, we're seeing crime, you know, all the,
00:28:07.880 uh, all the bad issues that, uh, no party would want to see happen is happy.
00:28:14.800 It's a perfect storm for them with increased crime as a result of not securing the border and, uh, excessive criminal justice reform where they've let criminals out and weak prosecutors who are politically correct and aren't prosecuting anyone.
00:28:29.660 And so, you know, the crimes is a direct result of bad policies from, from Democrats.
00:28:34.740 You've got inflation, a direct result of, of Biden and the Democrats spending too much money.
00:28:41.240 So I feel like then, you know, the energy policy, that's, uh, the straw that broke the camel's back when he canceled the ketone pipeline and banned reeling on federal lands.
00:28:50.580 The American people see what the world looks like when you have complete Democrat control and the Democrats control the house, the Senate and the, and the white house.
00:29:00.100 And I don't think they like what they're saying.
00:29:02.320 And I'm, I'm hopeful that they'll turn out in the groves and vote to flip the house and the Senate.
00:29:09.980 The, the, the, the million barrels of oil that have been sent to China and to the company for that in point of fact, uh, with which Hunter Biden had business dealings, a million barrels from the strategic petroleum reserve designed to alleviate the pressure on the American consumer.
00:29:32.740 Uh, magically appears, uh, now, uh, in that company's possession, uh, is your committee going to investigate that because that is beyond, beyond imagining, let alone, uh, ethical.
00:29:49.920 I mean, it's just insane that they would pull such a stunt.
00:29:53.080 Uh, no, absolutely.
00:29:55.280 We've already sent a letter requesting information.
00:29:58.260 Uh, we're demanding they, uh, have document preservation.
00:30:03.300 So, you know, they've really taken advantage this administration of the Republicans being in the minority.
00:30:10.060 Uh, we don't have subpoena power, but a normal administration would turn over, you know, most of the document requests that we've made over the past year and a half.
00:30:20.660 Uh, and it's just for Joe Biden to campaign and say his would be the most transparent administration in history.
00:30:27.300 That's the biggest lie that's ever been told.
00:30:29.080 Louie, it's the least transparent administration in the history of America by far.
00:30:33.620 And I don't know who, who second would be, but it's a distant second.
00:30:37.580 Well, yes, we're requesting that information right now.
00:30:42.260 It's really in your face, corruption, in your face, political corruption.
00:30:47.180 It's financial corruption, and it's as bald-faced as it gets, don't you think?
00:30:53.440 Yeah, it's, it's disappointing, especially, you know, the, the reason I came to Congress is I'm like most Americans sick and tired of government excess, government waste, fraud, abuse, mismanagement, and want to do something about it.
00:31:10.220 And, you know, the, the lack of transparency is, is breathtaking.
00:31:13.800 But then what's even worse, Lou, is the Democrats were in control of the House Oversight Committee when Trump was president the last two years.
00:31:23.120 They had Trump cabinet officials before the committee every day.
00:31:27.620 They were sending out subpoenas like you would get junk mail in the mail.
00:31:31.480 I mean, they were just be flying everywhere, signing them every day.
00:31:35.280 They were Trump cabinet people, Trump, you know, high-level people before the Oversight Committee.
00:31:41.080 Then Joe Biden gets elected president.
00:31:42.940 They have not had a single Biden cabinet secretary in front of the House Oversight Committee for the full year and a half of the Biden administration.
00:31:52.360 Zero, zero, zero, and they had over 100 Trump cabinet people, high-level administration officials at this point.
00:32:02.740 They've had zero in the Biden administration.
00:32:05.780 And they're not interested in that.
00:32:07.840 And it's like a lot in the mainstream media.
00:32:09.820 They're turning a blind eye to all their failures or shortcomings or incompetence.
00:32:14.300 And now they're, they're wrongdoing.
00:32:16.280 Yeah, I, I'm pretty sure I upset a lot of folks, uh, because I have a, a, a pretty good memory.
00:32:23.780 If my memory goes back to when Paul Ryan was speaker of the House and absolutely shut down subpoenas, uh, as the, uh, Republicans, uh, were trying to get answers, uh, at that point.
00:32:36.200 And he would not, as a matter of fact, he tore up Devin Nunes, uh, right in front of everybody.
00:32:41.860 He, uh, wouldn't give them subpoena power and, uh, who paid the price for it?
00:32:47.780 The Republican party, uh, president Trump and the persecution goes on.
00:32:52.600 Uh, we've heard that I was a back venture at that time.
00:32:56.520 Now, uh, you know, hopefully a player from the chairman next year, I'll have subpoena power.
00:33:02.440 And, you know, Lou, you look at who all's on my oversight committee.
00:33:06.700 I've got Jim Jordan there.
00:33:08.480 Uh, and you, you know, he's not afraid of very much.
00:33:11.860 He's like yourself and we've got people like Andy Biggs and Byron Donald and I've, I've heard that Marjorie Taylor and Lauren Boebert are going to be on the oversight committee next year.
00:33:22.820 I know they're both wanting to be on the oversight committee.
00:33:24.300 We'll have the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the finest group of, uh, oversight seekers that's ever been assembled, uh, in a, in a conservative Congress that are going to want to get to the bottom of a lot of questions and frustrations that, uh, conservatives have about this administration.
00:33:43.760 Well, uh, coming from the ranking member, the house oversight committee, uh, that absolutely is reassuring and encouraging.
00:33:52.560 And, uh, uh, Congressman Comer, we really do appreciate everything you're doing.
00:33:57.480 Uh, I know the American people do, uh, we've just got to get, it's just, as you say, it's a daunting task, uh, and it's days.
00:34:06.380 It's almost as though it can't be anything more than a nightmare.
00:34:11.640 It can't be real, but it's so in our face that, uh, no one can ignore it any longer.
00:34:17.300 Uh, and, uh, it's, it's been great talking with you and I appreciate your time.
00:34:22.000 I hope you'll come back soon.
00:34:24.820 Lou, I, I'm a big fan.
00:34:26.840 I'd love to come back and, you know, you talking about all the, the corruption and wrongdoing in this administration, especially with Hunter Biden, we probably wouldn't know very much of this were it not for that laptop.
00:34:37.940 So, you know, there, there's just not been a lot of, uh, intelligence investigation into this family.
00:34:44.220 There's not been any from the mainstream media, but hopefully that's going to change.
00:34:47.940 And I look forward to coming back on your, your podcast, talking about it in the future.
00:34:52.300 Well, thank you very much, Congressman.
00:34:54.260 Uh, we always give, uh, our guests the last word here.
00:34:57.780 Uh, so I'm going to ask you for your concluding thoughts about, uh, perhaps about where you're headed, uh, what you expect, uh, if you could, uh, and again, my appreciation to you.
00:35:12.340 Well, thank you, Lou.
00:35:14.060 And, you know, for the American people that are frustrated with, uh, a lack of oversight of this Biden administration,
00:35:20.800 hopefully in November, the American people will go out and flip the house. 0.92
00:35:26.020 And we have a Republican majority, uh, we're, if I'm chairman of the oversight committee and work closely with Jim Jordan and, uh, all those, uh, names I mentioned earlier.
00:35:36.320 Uh, and we're going to try to hold some, uh, high profile investigations that the American people can see.
00:35:42.980 And unlike this, uh, January 6th sham, this is going to be a real committee.
00:35:46.940 Uh, we're going to have Republican members on the committee and whoever the Democrat leader is can appoint their members.
00:35:54.040 And that's how you have a real committee.
00:35:55.600 And, you know, you're going to rotate back and forth between Republicans and Democrats asking questions.
00:36:00.100 It's not going to be one-sided and the American people will get some answers to some questions that, uh, that they have.
00:36:07.100 Uh, we're, we're going to use the subpoena power if people are unwilling to come voluntarily.
00:36:12.260 And, you know, in addition to some high profile investigations, we're also going to be very busy with the subcommittees.
00:36:18.880 And we're going to actually look at waste, fraud, and abuse, uh, uh, unnecessary spending, government waste.
00:36:24.800 And we're going to try to not just identify the problem, but, uh, propose solutions to the problem.
00:36:29.280 So, uh, we're going to try to have a real credible oversight committee that I think, uh, every American taxpayer can be proud of.
00:36:37.180 So that's my goal next year.
00:36:38.720 And hopefully we'll be given that opportunity.
00:36:41.780 Congressman Comer, we appreciate all that you're doing you and your colleagues to break through this obvious coverup and get to the truth about the Biden family business dealings and those protecting them.
00:36:55.000 Congressman James Comer, thank you.
00:36:57.280 And God bless you.
00:36:58.920 And that is what honest Americans are up against.
00:37:02.260 The Biden coverup, our government stonewalling and persecuting Republicans while they keep drug and illegal immigrant smuggling, rushing across that open border, sex trafficking as well, of course, and giving the drug cartels free reign.
00:37:17.720 Here tomorrow, we'll be joined by Nigel Farage.
00:37:20.800 A great conservative is the author of Brexit, the British exit from the European Union.
00:37:26.320 We'll be talking about the upheaval in the United Kingdom caused by their prime minister's forced resignation and the European response to Vladimir Putin's invasion and war on Ukraine.
00:37:38.720 That's here tomorrow on The Great America Show.
00:37:42.840 Thanks for being with us.
00:37:43.820 Please join us.
00:37:44.920 Till then, God bless you.
00:37:46.900 And God bless America.
