WEBVTT - Investigating Biden with Rep. James Comer 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.920 Just to give you a glimpse into how much Joe 0:00:02.960 --> 0:00:06.640 Biden hates this country and how terrible he is as 0:00:06.680 --> 0:00:10.640 a president. He just treated a w NBA player who 0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:15.280 hates America with a Russian arms dealer who has the 0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:19.880 nickname Merchant of Death, all while leaving behind a US 0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:23.520 Marine Paul Wheelan, who's stuck in Russia. But that's the 0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:27.000 kind of president Joe Biden is. He got thirteen service 0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:31.479 members killed with his botched withdrawal from Afghanistan while leaving 0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:35.600 Americans behind, while turning his back on hard working Americans. 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:39.600 This is a guy who has forced experimental shots on 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:42.280 our military members and then purged the military of people 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:43.880 who didn't want to get it. This is a guy 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:48.280 who claims that he's just the average Joe from Scranton, Pennsylvania, 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:51.800 while using his role in government to get rich and 0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:54.840 enriched his entire family. So we've got a corrupt man 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:57.600 in the White House and a corrupt administration when you 0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:00.200 look at the totality of everything they've done for the 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:04.240 border to Afghanistan, to just about everything to the Department 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:06.800 of Justice, and the abuses that we've seen there against 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:10.280 Americans as well. So fortunately even though we didn't win 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:13.240 the Senate, even though things didn't go exactly how we 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:16.360 wanted them to go this past election cycle, we do 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:19.040 have the House. We will have a Republican lead House, 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:22.440 which means we'll have Republican led investigations. One man who's 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:24.640 going to play a vital role in all of that 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:27.840 is Congressman James Coomber from Kentucky. He's going to be 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:31.520 serving and taking the helm of the Oversight Committee as chairman. 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:33.920 So we're going to talk to him today about all 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:37.560 these investigations, what it means, what the consequences are going 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:40.240 to be, and what the focus is going to be 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:42.440 for the Oversight Committee as well. I mean, there's so 0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:45.440 much to investigate. How do they figure out what is 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:48.480 the most important and also how do they enforce subpoenas 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:51.000 when you've got a Department of Justice with Merrick Garland 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:53.560 who has no interest in helping you out. So we're 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:55.680 going to talk to him about all of that. I 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:59.440 hope you enjoyed this conversation with Congressman James Coomber, the 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:19.320 Income Oversight Chairman of the House. Progress Homer, Well, first 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.320 of all, thank you for joining the show. Sorry appreciate 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.359 you taking the time pleasure. You're going to be a 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.360 busy man. I mean, you are a busy man, but 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:29.559 as the incoming oversight chairman, there's a lot to investigate. 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:34.320 We've we've got a corrupt president, a corrupt administration, so 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.240 you're going to be a busy man. Yeah, there's no 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.639 shortage of oversight needed in this town. And if you 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:42.639 think about it, there has been zero oversight over the 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:47.399 past to two years. Therefore, with all the bad, disastrous 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:51.560 policies in this administration, like the botch withdrawal in Afghanistan, 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:55.400 no one's even been held accountable. So we've got a 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:57.800 lot of work to do. We're two years behind because 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.360 we've been in the minority and haven't had the gabble. Therefore, 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:03.440 we haven't had subpoena power. We're ready to get started 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:05.120 and try to get caught up over the past two 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:09.120 years and try to provide oversight over things that are 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:11.000 gonna happen over the next two years. I mean, the 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.720 challenge is almost going to be figuring out what to 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:17.680 focus on because there there are so many things to investigate. 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:20.880 As you pointed out, the botched withdrawal left thirteen service 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:24.760 members killed because of the Biden administrations and competency. So 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:28.040 how do you sort of decipher and go through all 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.400 these different areas of interest and figure out what to 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:33.440 focus on. Well, fortunately for for me and for the 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.960 Oversight Committee, we have a large staff. We get to 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:41.000 significantly increase our staff size going from the minority to 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:46.800 the majority. We're just blessed to have a great selection 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.680 of resumes from people that want to come in and 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.280 do a one or two year stint. They're not trying 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.560 to be career government employees. They want to make a 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.160 name for themselves and move on, which is great. That's 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:01.480 what like what you would want. And uh, we we 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:05.240 have some committee members who are very passionate about oversight 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:08.040 and holding this administration accountable. So I think we're gonna 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:12.480 be able to multitask. We're trying to h also delegate. 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:15.680 There's so many different areas of oversight. Uh. If it's 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.880 something that I think could be handled by another committee 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.880 of jurisdiction that doesn't quite have the staff or the 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.440 expertise that we have, then we're we're passing that along 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:26.880 to them. But UH, we're really trying to lead a 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:30.400 team effort here to uh to get caught up and 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.479 then to provide oversight to for the next two years 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.440 of what we know will be more disastrous policies coming 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.320 out of this administration. Well, and you know, and then 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:41.039 of course investigations will come as you start looking under 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.200 the hood about things that have taken place over the 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.640 past two years. But from knowing what we know, now, 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:50.320 what are the priorities going into this new Congress from 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:54.120 an and get an investigative standpoint. Obviously we're concerned about 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.159 what's going on in the southern border. I mean, it's 0:04:56.040 --> 0:05:00.520 a it's a joke what this administration's border he is. 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.120 It is, as we all know, an open border policy. 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.359 We've got to change that. We've got to hold people 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:09.960 accountable for, uh, the hundred thousand plus sitting all deaths 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:13.440 that have happened as a direct result of this administration's 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:19.720 failure to secure the border. So that's gonna be a priority. Uh, 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:23.920 all things COVID nineteen, not just the origination of COVID nineteen, 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:27.080 but also all the funds that have been misappropriated through 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:32.560 the Unemployment Experience Unemployment Insurance Fund where we had you know, 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:36.800 as much as fraudulent claims. Uh, the p P p 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:40.000 loan programs. There's just massive amount of fraud that that's 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:43.400 happened in that this stimulus money the state and local government. 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:47.719 So all this COVID money, Uh, no one's had any 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:53.760 type of oversight over where it went, how much was abused, 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:57.120 how much was wasted, and so we've got that and then, 0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:01.680 of course, uh something that's very important to me that 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.320 I think the American people are gonna have a greater 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.320 interest and when they hear more about what we have 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.120 is the Biden family influence family. I mean, this family 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:14.160 has been able to sell access to the government at 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:16.960 the highest levels for over a decade. No one teld 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:20.560 them accountable. Uh, No one really knows the extent to 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:24.640 how much money they have received from Russia, from China, 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.680 from Ukraine, from the Middle East. That we're gonna try 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.480 to determine that dollar amount, and we're ass gonna try 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:35.279 to determine if Joe Biden was directly We know he's 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:38.719 directly involved. Was Joe Biden a direct beneficiary of this? 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:43.640 And obviously, Joe Biden's lied numerous times about his knowledge 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.359 of his family's shady business dealings. He's lied about his 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:50.560 involvement and his family's shady business dealings, and uh, you know, 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:52.919 we're gonna go a step further and see if in fact, 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:58.520 he was actually receiving direct benefits from our adversaries in 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:02.040 China and Russia because of the family influence apenalty. So 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.279 that's gonna be an investigation that's going to be a 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:06.680 great interest to a lot of Americans. Well, you know what, 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.560 we know that Hunter Biden's emails say that it was 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:12.480 ten percent for the big guy, for Joe Biden. You know, 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.640 we know that he's flown Hunter or on air Force 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.120 two degrease deals in countries like China. When he was 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:21.000 vice president, he bragged about getting the prosecutor general fired 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:24.680 in Ukraine who was investigating Barrezba. You know what else 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:28.240 do we know about Joe Biden's possible involvement. You know, 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:30.760 how involved do we think he he was and a 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.760 son's business dealings from what we know now, Yeah, I 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.720 think it was very involved. All the people that he 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.200 said he never met with, we have pictures or emails 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.240 to prove that he met with him, some of them 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:45.400 numerous times. We also know that, as you said, he's 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:50.280 taken Hunter on the taxpayer funded trips to meet with 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.000 some of these people that he was later going to 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:56.520 be paid millions of dollars from. Now, if you look 0:07:56.560 --> 0:08:00.680 at the emails and text messages on the hard UH, 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:04.160 you know, there are many that Hunter is complaining to 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:06.360 others about how much he's having to spend to keep 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:09.480 his family up. You know that no one appreciates him, 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.240 and he's you know, he's kept Joe up for years. 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:15.320 And in addition to the big guy the ten percent 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:18.200 for the big Guy, there's also references to many things 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.520 that Hunter Biden was paying for for his father. So 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:25.280 these are why we're looking at specific bank records. When 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.640 we get the gavel and get subpoena authority in in January, 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:35.520 you're gonna see that this investigation is focused on specific 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:39.720 areas where we believe Joe Biden was directly benefiting from 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:43.160 this influence peddling. And remember Hunter's only source of income 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:46.480 UH for several years was was what I would consider 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:50.280 his influence peddling with China and Russia. So and of 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:55.000 course the BARISHMA and Ukraine. So the fact that Joe 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:57.559 Biden's lied time and time again, he lied about the 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:00.640 laptop being Russia, this information he lied about h uh 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:03.440 knowing any of these people that Hunter Biden was involved with. 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:07.120 H We also believe he's he's not been truthful about 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:10.599 the benefits he's received. You know. One of the emails 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:14.160 showed that Hunter Biden requested an extra set of keys 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:17.320 for both Joe Biden and Joe Biden because they were 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:20.000 going to be a part of this business, which the 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:23.240 business was involved in trying to help Russia or I'm sorry, 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.680 trying to help China get their foot in the door 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:30.240 and start purchasing interest in natural gas drillers in the 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.120 United States. So that's a national security concern. And again, 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:37.800 in addition to all the investigation we're doing to try 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:40.680 to determine the extent of how much the Biden family 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:44.640 has received from influence pedding. The primary purpose of the investigation, 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.719 honestly is to determine whether or not this administration is 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:51.439 compromised because of the millions of dollars that they've received 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.640 from China and Russia. And uh, you know, I think 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:59.160 that's an investigation that needs to happen. Unfortunately, the mainstream 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:02.240 media is not, and we're gonna take that seriously. But 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:04.839 we are, and I believe we'll hopefully have the tools 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.440 necessary to get an answer and hopefully get it soon. 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.120 When you've got so got money that he can't account 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:13.760 for in Ukraine, when his family has also made money 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:16.480 from Ukraine as well, So you know, certainly raises questions 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:19.840 about you know, can he can he make decisions? Is 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:22.680 he making decisions in the interests of the country, or 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.400 is he making decisions that are in the interest of 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:29.560 his families, you know, bottom line and their financials. I 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:31.320 think is a good question to get to. You to 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.040 your points, take a quick commercial break, and then back 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:41.360 with the incoming oversight Chairman James Comer. Obviously, with Joe 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:44.600 Biden being in charge, UH and having Merrick Garland at 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:46.600 the Department of Justice, you know you're not gonna getting 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.280 any assistance from them and enforcing some of these to 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.000 pianos and trying to hold people accountable. So what are 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:54.600 the limitations and what can you do to try to 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:58.360 you know, circumvent that or to try to bring accountability. Well, 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:00.559 you get the nail on the head obviously if you 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:04.160 compare our investigative work to what the January six Committee 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:06.319 has done. They had a d o J that got 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:10.800 their backs, that worked tirelessly to ensure that everyone complied 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:13.400 with the subpoenas they issued. I'm gonna go out on 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:15.800 them and say, we probably won't have that type of 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:18.280 support from the d o J. They also had support 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.080 from the FBI. You know, I I really believe that 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:25.480 the January six Committee was the entity that triggered the 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:30.080 raid on bar Largo, So the FBI was working with 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:33.840 the committee more than likely to try to obtain documents 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.480 for their investigation. I'm gonna go out on them and 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:39.440 say the FBI is not gonna work with us on anything, 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:42.200 because you know, we're looking into the wrongdoing in the FBI, 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:45.920 especially with respect to the Biden family influence peddling and 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:48.280 the and the Hunter Biden laptop, which is a primary 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:52.280 source of evidence for for our investigation. So it's gonna 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:56.199 be more challenging. But if you'll see, the first subpoenas 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.800 we're gonna issue will will be the private sector people 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:04.040 and deprive it uh sector businesses to obtain information we need. 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:07.280 We're obviously going to request information for the government as 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:11.080 we have in the past, probably issue subpoenas very soon 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:14.000 on that too, but uh, we'll have a lot greater 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:19.800 success with private sector people and private sector businesses complying 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.560 with our subpoenas. So I believe we'll be able to 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:27.080 get sufficient amount of information even if the Biden administration 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:30.480 continues to fight us and obstructed at every level. So 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:33.000 it's just going about it a different way than Democrats. 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.320 Obviously we're able to do, you know, and I hope 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:38.600 to you know, obviously we've seen this collusion on free speech, 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:41.040 both with the Twitter files that have been released and 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:45.800 then also with this UH lawsuit from Attorneys General Jeff 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:50.400 Landry and Louisiana and Eric Schmidt incoming senator elect you know, 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.160 I hope we get to the bottom of that too, 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:54.880 and what role American companies, to your point, have played 0:12:54.880 --> 0:13:00.319 in stifling or speech. We're watching that lawsuit with great interest. Uh. 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:02.720 There are a lot of different areas where I think 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:06.560 we're going to receive assistance that that lawsuit. Lots of 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:09.120 information is coming out of that. There are some good 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:12.480 media outlets that are doing some very good investigative work 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:17.640 that that's being very helpful in our investigations. You know, 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:20.120 There's there's a lot of information that you can get 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:24.199 through just basic fo your request from different media outlets. 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:28.840 So we're paying close attention on every front. But that 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:32.840 that that lawsuit that Landry's leading is a big deal, Well, 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:35.160 it very much is, and I appreciate the work that 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:38.600 they're doing. Um, you know, you had mentioned COVID. You 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:40.600 know what's really sad is that so many people have 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:44.599 been harmed by a variety of COVID decisions, from lockdowns 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:48.440 to vaccine injuries. And the problem is there is a 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:51.240 high probability that there is a financial motivation to some 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:53.440 of these decisions that have been made. You know that 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.640 there is the most likely conclusion that COVID came from 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.720 the Uhan Institute of Virology that was working on coronavirus. 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:02.520 Is Yeah, You've got people like Dr Faucci who have 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:05.199 tried to say otherwise when you know there ties to 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:08.040 him and gain a function and a role in potentially 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:11.760 strengthening the virus at the Uhanan's to a virology or 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:15.480 he's refused to say whether people in the vaccine approval 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:19.920 committee have also made money from these vaccine manufacturers. So 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:21.440 what you know, what what kind of what do you 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:24.000 guys plan to do on the COVID front to try 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:26.680 to bring accountability to these people that may have been 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:29.840 profiting off of these bad decisions that have harmed so 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:32.480 many Americans. That's a great point a lot of people, 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:34.960 you know, they just focused on Dr Faucci, were we 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:39.080 believe that initially we need to bring in all of 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:43.480 the scientists that gave Dr Faucci a green light. If 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:46.239 you'll go back to the emails that our committee unearthed 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:51.520 several months ago that showed in February March Fauci's earliest 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:55.000 advisers when COVID was just coming out. They looked at 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.400 it and said, well, obviously this is a lab link 0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.480 from the Wuhan lab, because that's what they were doing 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:03.000 down there, We're researching COVID viruses. And then they looked 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.640 at the DNA sequences and well, obviously this is being made. 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.640 I mean, there's no way it could jump from animal 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:13.000 to human that that quickly. So did something happen Three 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:15.800 days later after Dr fouch You had a conference call 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:18.840 with them. They they never emailed again and they changed 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:22.200 their story. We later learned that many of these scientists 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:24.840 got grants from the n i A. So one of 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:29.520 the things that we've learned that unfortunately, don't think anyone 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:34.200 in Congress realized was that the n AH you know, 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:37.200 has a huge slush fund and a lot of these 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:41.880 these so called experts that went along with every decision 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:45.600 Dr fouch you made, whether it was pertaining the lockdowns, 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:49.360 whether it's pertaining the forcing children into virtual learning as 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:53.440 opposed to in person learning. Uh, every decision they gave 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.920 him a green light, didn't question him on anything, while 0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:59.680 at the same time they were receiving you know, some 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:02.800 angel amounts of funds true Dr Fauci and Dr Collins. 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:05.280 So this is concerning a lot of members of Congress, 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:09.360 myself included. I didn't realize that that Dr Faucci and 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:13.600 others were receiving royalties for uh, probably many of the 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:17.400 vaccines that they were recommended people people take. So this 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:20.480 is huge conflict of interest. At the at the very least, 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:24.280 there needs to be more disclosure laws to know where 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:29.080 where they've actually received some of their royalties from and 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:31.720 you know how much royalty is they've received. So we've 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:35.600 got a lot of oversight to conduct and unfortunately the 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:38.720 Democrats haven't conducted any Why in the world they wouldn't 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:43.720 conduct an investigation as to the true origination of COVID 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:47.920 nighteen is beyond me because Republicans weren't accusing Democrats of 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:51.120 creating COVID nineteen. We were accusing China of creating COVID 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:54.520 Night team. But for whatever reason, the Democrats never wanted 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:56.600 to look into that, and they've certainly not had a 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:59.600 problem with all the money that's been wasted. And when 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:02.280 we're talking about money, I'm talking about hundreds of billions, 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:06.480 if not trillions of dollars that's completely unaccounted for. You know, 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:09.600 the root of all that's corruption, right government? Corruption, government 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.880 not serving the needs of its people, not being held 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:15.800 accountable by the people, which is what you plan to 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:19.240 do at oversight? What have you learned in your job 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:21.800 at oversight? And then as you you know, take the 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:26.399 home here soon about corruption in government, Well, it's worse 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.639 than than you would realize, I don't I think most Americans, 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:32.560 if they were paulled, would say that there's a lot 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:35.080 of corruption in the government. But I don't believe they 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:39.159 realize the extent. You know, the media has played along 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:42.960 with the Biden narrative and the Democratic National Committee narrative 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:46.480 that Joe Biden is an average guy, he's a good guy, 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:49.640 he's a United he's not a divider and he's ethical. 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:53.080 I mean, that is completely not true. I mean, if 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:59.879 if you realize the extent too, the volume of the 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:03.960 ULLs and and uh, the amount of money that his 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:08.439 family has made off nothing more than access to the 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:11.600 highest levels of government through Joe Biden, you would realize 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:14.840 that he could be one of the most compromised presidents 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:18.240 in the history of America. And this administration has had 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:21.879 so much money at their disposal in the name of 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:26.600 COVID and all these stimulus bills and infrastructure bills and 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:32.199 UH inflation Reduction Bill which increased inflation. Obviously, they have 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:36.879 spent so much money. There's been few too, to know 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:40.720 guardrails on any of this money. Uh. We hear more 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:45.440 and more reports every day of money that was fraudulently 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:49.800 obtained by foreign countries. And it's it's very discouraging. And 0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:52.520 the fact that you know, this administration wants to continue 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:55.919 to act like nothing wrong. Everything is great, UH, the 0:18:55.960 --> 0:19:00.640 borders secure, the the economy is fine, inflations under control. 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:04.440 It's it's really discarded, it really is. But I appreciate 0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:07.399 the work you're doing. I appreciate you know, the Oversight 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:09.400 Committee and the world that you're going to play and 0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:11.720 looking into all this, and I really hope that you 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:14.399 get the answers that Americans deserve and that there's some 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:18.200 accountability with this administration. Congressman, I know you have a 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:20.879 very busy schedule. I appreciate you taking the time to 0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:23.080 join the show, and I appreciate the work that you're doing. 0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:44.199 Thank you so much for having me on.
