1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: Just to give you a glimpse into how much Joe 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: Biden hates this country and how terrible he is as 3 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,640 Speaker 1: a president. He just treated a w NBA player who 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: hates America with a Russian arms dealer who has the 5 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: nickname Merchant of Death, all while leaving behind a US 6 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: Marine Paul Wheelan, who's stuck in Russia. But that's the 7 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: kind of president Joe Biden is. He got thirteen service 8 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:31,479 Speaker 1: members killed with his botched withdrawal from Afghanistan while leaving 9 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: Americans behind, while turning his back on hard working Americans. 10 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: This is a guy who has forced experimental shots on 11 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: our military members and then purged the military of people 12 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 1: who didn't want to get it. This is a guy 13 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: who claims that he's just the average Joe from Scranton, Pennsylvania, 14 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: while using his role in government to get rich and 15 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: enriched his entire family. So we've got a corrupt man 16 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: in the White House and a corrupt administration when you 17 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: look at the totality of everything they've done for the 18 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: border to Afghanistan, to just about everything to the Department 19 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: of Justice, and the abuses that we've seen there against 20 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: Americans as well. So fortunately even though we didn't win 21 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: the Senate, even though things didn't go exactly how we 22 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: wanted them to go this past election cycle, we do 23 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 1: have the House. We will have a Republican lead House, 24 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: which means we'll have Republican led investigations. One man who's 25 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: going to play a vital role in all of that 26 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: is Congressman James Coomber from Kentucky. He's going to be 27 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: serving and taking the helm of the Oversight Committee as chairman. 28 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: So we're going to talk to him today about all 29 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: these investigations, what it means, what the consequences are going 30 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: to be, and what the focus is going to be 31 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: for the Oversight Committee as well. I mean, there's so 32 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: much to investigate. How do they figure out what is 33 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: the most important and also how do they enforce subpoenas 34 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: when you've got a Department of Justice with Merrick Garland 35 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: who has no interest in helping you out. So we're 36 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: going to talk to him about all of that. I 37 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: hope you enjoyed this conversation with Congressman James Coomber, the 38 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: Income Oversight Chairman of the House. Progress Homer, Well, first 39 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: of all, thank you for joining the show. Sorry appreciate 40 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 1: you taking the time pleasure. You're going to be a 41 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: busy man. I mean, you are a busy man, but 42 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,559 Speaker 1: as the incoming oversight chairman, there's a lot to investigate. 43 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: We've we've got a corrupt president, a corrupt administration, so 44 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: you're going to be a busy man. Yeah, there's no 45 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 1: shortage of oversight needed in this town. And if you 46 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: think about it, there has been zero oversight over the 47 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:47,399 Speaker 1: past to two years. Therefore, with all the bad, disastrous 48 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: policies in this administration, like the botch withdrawal in Afghanistan, 49 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: no one's even been held accountable. So we've got a 50 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: lot of work to do. We're two years behind because 51 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: we've been in the minority and haven't had the gabble. Therefore, 52 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: we haven't had subpoena power. We're ready to get started 53 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: and try to get caught up over the past two 54 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: years and try to provide oversight over things that are 55 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: gonna happen over the next two years. I mean, the 56 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: challenge is almost going to be figuring out what to 57 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: focus on because there there are so many things to investigate. 58 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: As you pointed out, the botched withdrawal left thirteen service 59 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: members killed because of the Biden administrations and competency. So 60 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: how do you sort of decipher and go through all 61 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: these different areas of interest and figure out what to 62 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: focus on. Well, fortunately for for me and for the 63 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: Oversight Committee, we have a large staff. We get to 64 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: significantly increase our staff size going from the minority to 65 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: the majority. We're just blessed to have a great selection 66 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: of resumes from people that want to come in and 67 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: do a one or two year stint. They're not trying 68 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: to be career government employees. They want to make a 69 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: name for themselves and move on, which is great. That's 70 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: what like what you would want. And uh, we we 71 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: have some committee members who are very passionate about oversight 72 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: and holding this administration accountable. So I think we're gonna 73 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: be able to multitask. We're trying to h also delegate. 74 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: There's so many different areas of oversight. Uh. If it's 75 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: something that I think could be handled by another committee 76 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: of jurisdiction that doesn't quite have the staff or the 77 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: expertise that we have, then we're we're passing that along 78 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: to them. But UH, we're really trying to lead a 79 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: team effort here to uh to get caught up and 80 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: then to provide oversight to for the next two years 81 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: of what we know will be more disastrous policies coming 82 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: out of this administration. Well, and you know, and then 83 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: of course investigations will come as you start looking under 84 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: the hood about things that have taken place over the 85 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: past two years. But from knowing what we know, now, 86 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: what are the priorities going into this new Congress from 87 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: an and get an investigative standpoint. Obviously we're concerned about 88 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 1: what's going on in the southern border. I mean, it's 89 00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: a it's a joke what this administration's border he is. 90 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: It is, as we all know, an open border policy. 91 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 1: We've got to change that. We've got to hold people 92 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: accountable for, uh, the hundred thousand plus sitting all deaths 93 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: that have happened as a direct result of this administration's 94 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: failure to secure the border. So that's gonna be a priority. Uh, 95 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: all things COVID nineteen, not just the origination of COVID nineteen, 96 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: but also all the funds that have been misappropriated through 97 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: the Unemployment Experience Unemployment Insurance Fund where we had you know, 98 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: as much as fraudulent claims. Uh, the p P p 99 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: loan programs. There's just massive amount of fraud that that's 100 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: happened in that this stimulus money the state and local government. 101 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: So all this COVID money, Uh, no one's had any 102 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: type of oversight over where it went, how much was abused, 103 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: how much was wasted, and so we've got that and then, 104 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: of course, uh something that's very important to me that 105 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: I think the American people are gonna have a greater 106 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: interest and when they hear more about what we have 107 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: is the Biden family influence family. I mean, this family 108 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 1: has been able to sell access to the government at 109 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: the highest levels for over a decade. No one teld 110 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: them accountable. Uh, No one really knows the extent to 111 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: how much money they have received from Russia, from China, 112 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: from Ukraine, from the Middle East. That we're gonna try 113 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: to determine that dollar amount, and we're ass gonna try 114 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: to determine if Joe Biden was directly We know he's 115 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: directly involved. Was Joe Biden a direct beneficiary of this? 116 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: And obviously, Joe Biden's lied numerous times about his knowledge 117 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 1: of his family's shady business dealings. He's lied about his 118 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: involvement and his family's shady business dealings, and uh, you know, 119 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 1: we're gonna go a step further and see if in fact, 120 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: he was actually receiving direct benefits from our adversaries in 121 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: China and Russia because of the family influence apenalty. So 122 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 1: that's gonna be an investigation that's going to be a 123 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: great interest to a lot of Americans. Well, you know what, 124 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: we know that Hunter Biden's emails say that it was 125 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: ten percent for the big guy, for Joe Biden. You know, 126 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: we know that he's flown Hunter or on air Force 127 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: two degrease deals in countries like China. When he was 128 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: vice president, he bragged about getting the prosecutor general fired 129 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: in Ukraine who was investigating Barrezba. You know what else 130 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: do we know about Joe Biden's possible involvement. You know, 131 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: how involved do we think he he was and a 132 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: son's business dealings from what we know now, Yeah, I 133 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: think it was very involved. All the people that he 134 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: said he never met with, we have pictures or emails 135 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: to prove that he met with him, some of them 136 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: numerous times. We also know that, as you said, he's 137 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: taken Hunter on the taxpayer funded trips to meet with 138 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: some of these people that he was later going to 139 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: be paid millions of dollars from. Now, if you look 140 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: at the emails and text messages on the hard UH, 141 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: you know, there are many that Hunter is complaining to 142 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: others about how much he's having to spend to keep 143 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: his family up. You know that no one appreciates him, 144 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: and he's you know, he's kept Joe up for years. 145 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: And in addition to the big guy the ten percent 146 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: for the big Guy, there's also references to many things 147 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: that Hunter Biden was paying for for his father. So 148 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: these are why we're looking at specific bank records. When 149 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: we get the gavel and get subpoena authority in in January, 150 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna see that this investigation is focused on specific 151 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: areas where we believe Joe Biden was directly benefiting from 152 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: this influence peddling. And remember Hunter's only source of income 153 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: UH for several years was was what I would consider 154 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: his influence peddling with China and Russia. So and of 155 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: course the BARISHMA and Ukraine. So the fact that Joe 156 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 1: Biden's lied time and time again, he lied about the 157 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: laptop being Russia, this information he lied about h uh 158 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: knowing any of these people that Hunter Biden was involved with. 159 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: H We also believe he's he's not been truthful about 160 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,599 Speaker 1: the benefits he's received. You know. One of the emails 161 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: showed that Hunter Biden requested an extra set of keys 162 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: for both Joe Biden and Joe Biden because they were 163 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: going to be a part of this business, which the 164 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: business was involved in trying to help Russia or I'm sorry, 165 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: trying to help China get their foot in the door 166 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: and start purchasing interest in natural gas drillers in the 167 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: United States. So that's a national security concern. And again, 168 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: in addition to all the investigation we're doing to try 169 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: to determine the extent of how much the Biden family 170 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: has received from influence pedding. The primary purpose of the investigation, 171 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,719 Speaker 1: honestly is to determine whether or not this administration is 172 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,439 Speaker 1: compromised because of the millions of dollars that they've received 173 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: from China and Russia. And uh, you know, I think 174 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: that's an investigation that needs to happen. Unfortunately, the mainstream 175 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: media is not, and we're gonna take that seriously. But 176 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,839 Speaker 1: we are, and I believe we'll hopefully have the tools 177 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: necessary to get an answer and hopefully get it soon. 178 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: When you've got so got money that he can't account 179 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: for in Ukraine, when his family has also made money 180 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: from Ukraine as well, So you know, certainly raises questions 181 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: about you know, can he can he make decisions? Is 182 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: he making decisions in the interests of the country, or 183 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: is he making decisions that are in the interest of 184 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: his families, you know, bottom line and their financials. I 185 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: think is a good question to get to. You to 186 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: your points, take a quick commercial break, and then back 187 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: with the incoming oversight Chairman James Comer. Obviously, with Joe 188 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: Biden being in charge, UH and having Merrick Garland at 189 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice, you know you're not gonna getting 190 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: any assistance from them and enforcing some of these to 191 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: pianos and trying to hold people accountable. So what are 192 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: the limitations and what can you do to try to 193 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: you know, circumvent that or to try to bring accountability. Well, 194 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,559 Speaker 1: you get the nail on the head obviously if you 195 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: compare our investigative work to what the January six Committee 196 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 1: has done. They had a d o J that got 197 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: their backs, that worked tirelessly to ensure that everyone complied 198 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: with the subpoenas they issued. I'm gonna go out on 199 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: them and say, we probably won't have that type of 200 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: support from the d o J. They also had support 201 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: from the FBI. You know, I I really believe that 202 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: the January six Committee was the entity that triggered the 203 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: raid on bar Largo, So the FBI was working with 204 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: the committee more than likely to try to obtain documents 205 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: for their investigation. I'm gonna go out on them and 206 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: say the FBI is not gonna work with us on anything, 207 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 1: because you know, we're looking into the wrongdoing in the FBI, 208 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: especially with respect to the Biden family influence peddling and 209 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: the and the Hunter Biden laptop, which is a primary 210 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: source of evidence for for our investigation. So it's gonna 211 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 1: be more challenging. But if you'll see, the first subpoenas 212 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna issue will will be the private sector people 213 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: and deprive it uh sector businesses to obtain information we need. 214 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: We're obviously going to request information for the government as 215 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: we have in the past, probably issue subpoenas very soon 216 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: on that too, but uh, we'll have a lot greater 217 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: success with private sector people and private sector businesses complying 218 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: with our subpoenas. So I believe we'll be able to 219 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: get sufficient amount of information even if the Biden administration 220 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: continues to fight us and obstructed at every level. So 221 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: it's just going about it a different way than Democrats. 222 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: Obviously we're able to do, you know, and I hope 223 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: to you know, obviously we've seen this collusion on free speech, 224 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: both with the Twitter files that have been released and 225 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: then also with this UH lawsuit from Attorneys General Jeff 226 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: Landry and Louisiana and Eric Schmidt incoming senator elect you know, 227 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: I hope we get to the bottom of that too, 228 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: and what role American companies, to your point, have played 229 00:12:54,880 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 1: in stifling or speech. We're watching that lawsuit with great interest. Uh. 230 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: There are a lot of different areas where I think 231 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: we're going to receive assistance that that lawsuit. Lots of 232 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: information is coming out of that. There are some good 233 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: media outlets that are doing some very good investigative work 234 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: that that's being very helpful in our investigations. You know, 235 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: There's there's a lot of information that you can get 236 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 1: through just basic fo your request from different media outlets. 237 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: So we're paying close attention on every front. But that 238 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: that that lawsuit that Landry's leading is a big deal, Well, 239 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: it very much is, and I appreciate the work that 240 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: they're doing. Um, you know, you had mentioned COVID. You 241 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: know what's really sad is that so many people have 242 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,599 Speaker 1: been harmed by a variety of COVID decisions, from lockdowns 243 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 1: to vaccine injuries. And the problem is there is a 244 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: high probability that there is a financial motivation to some 245 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 1: of these decisions that have been made. You know that 246 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: there is the most likely conclusion that COVID came from 247 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: the Uhan Institute of Virology that was working on coronavirus. 248 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: Is Yeah, You've got people like Dr Faucci who have 249 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 1: tried to say otherwise when you know there ties to 250 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: him and gain a function and a role in potentially 251 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: strengthening the virus at the Uhanan's to a virology or 252 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: he's refused to say whether people in the vaccine approval 253 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: committee have also made money from these vaccine manufacturers. So 254 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: what you know, what what kind of what do you 255 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: guys plan to do on the COVID front to try 256 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: to bring accountability to these people that may have been 257 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: profiting off of these bad decisions that have harmed so 258 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: many Americans. That's a great point a lot of people, 259 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: you know, they just focused on Dr Faucci, were we 260 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: believe that initially we need to bring in all of 261 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: the scientists that gave Dr Faucci a green light. If 262 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,239 Speaker 1: you'll go back to the emails that our committee unearthed 263 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: several months ago that showed in February March Fauci's earliest 264 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: advisers when COVID was just coming out. They looked at 265 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: it and said, well, obviously this is a lab link 266 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: from the Wuhan lab, because that's what they were doing 267 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: down there, We're researching COVID viruses. And then they looked 268 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: at the DNA sequences and well, obviously this is being made. 269 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: I mean, there's no way it could jump from animal 270 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: to human that that quickly. So did something happen Three 271 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: days later after Dr fouch You had a conference call 272 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: with them. They they never emailed again and they changed 273 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: their story. We later learned that many of these scientists 274 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: got grants from the n i A. So one of 275 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: the things that we've learned that unfortunately, don't think anyone 276 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: in Congress realized was that the n AH you know, 277 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: has a huge slush fund and a lot of these 278 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: these so called experts that went along with every decision 279 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: Dr fouch you made, whether it was pertaining the lockdowns, 280 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: whether it's pertaining the forcing children into virtual learning as 281 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: opposed to in person learning. Uh, every decision they gave 282 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: him a green light, didn't question him on anything, while 283 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: at the same time they were receiving you know, some 284 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: angel amounts of funds true Dr Fauci and Dr Collins. 285 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: So this is concerning a lot of members of Congress, 286 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: myself included. I didn't realize that that Dr Faucci and 287 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: others were receiving royalties for uh, probably many of the 288 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: vaccines that they were recommended people people take. So this 289 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: is huge conflict of interest. At the at the very least, 290 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: there needs to be more disclosure laws to know where 291 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: where they've actually received some of their royalties from and 292 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: you know how much royalty is they've received. So we've 293 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: got a lot of oversight to conduct and unfortunately the 294 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: Democrats haven't conducted any Why in the world they wouldn't 295 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: conduct an investigation as to the true origination of COVID 296 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: nighteen is beyond me because Republicans weren't accusing Democrats of 297 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: creating COVID nineteen. We were accusing China of creating COVID 298 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: Night team. But for whatever reason, the Democrats never wanted 299 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: to look into that, and they've certainly not had a 300 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: problem with all the money that's been wasted. And when 301 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: we're talking about money, I'm talking about hundreds of billions, 302 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: if not trillions of dollars that's completely unaccounted for. You know, 303 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: the root of all that's corruption, right government? Corruption, government 304 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 1: not serving the needs of its people, not being held 305 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: accountable by the people, which is what you plan to 306 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: do at oversight? What have you learned in your job 307 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: at oversight? And then as you you know, take the 308 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 1: home here soon about corruption in government, Well, it's worse 309 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 1: than than you would realize, I don't I think most Americans, 310 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: if they were paulled, would say that there's a lot 311 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: of corruption in the government. But I don't believe they 312 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 1: realize the extent. You know, the media has played along 313 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: with the Biden narrative and the Democratic National Committee narrative 314 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: that Joe Biden is an average guy, he's a good guy, 315 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 1: he's a United he's not a divider and he's ethical. 316 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: I mean, that is completely not true. I mean, if 317 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: if you realize the extent too, the volume of the 318 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: ULLs and and uh, the amount of money that his 319 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 1: family has made off nothing more than access to the 320 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: highest levels of government through Joe Biden, you would realize 321 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: that he could be one of the most compromised presidents 322 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: in the history of America. And this administration has had 323 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 1: so much money at their disposal in the name of 324 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: COVID and all these stimulus bills and infrastructure bills and 325 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:32,199 Speaker 1: UH inflation Reduction Bill which increased inflation. Obviously, they have 326 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 1: spent so much money. There's been few too, to know 327 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: guardrails on any of this money. Uh. We hear more 328 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: and more reports every day of money that was fraudulently 329 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: obtained by foreign countries. And it's it's very discouraging. And 330 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: the fact that you know, this administration wants to continue 331 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 1: to act like nothing wrong.
