are wiggling around today. they were lower and slightly off the lows for the 10-year, the two-year, you're saying go very short term, one month, six months up to what, one year? >> that's right. short, one, three, six, maybe up to two year but to keep durations short for now. we have a saying within our investment committee is we want to buy the big ones and lend to the small ones and that means we want to be buying megacap stocks, specifically megacap tech stocks. we're staying with those into year-end and we want to be lending to small cap companies but not own the stocks. [closing bell rings] liz: gotcha. those yields are all above 5% for the short-term treasury bonds. david, good to see you, thank you so much. here we go a mixed picture. looks like the s&p and the nasdaq continue -- ♪. larry: hello, folks, welcome to "kudlow," i'm larry kudlow.

the israeli war raging on. the idf moving into the deeper into the center of gaza city. our own jeff paul and edward lawrence standing by with all the details. gentlemen, thank you. first up let's go to jeff paul live in tel aviv, israel. jeff, what can you tell us? >> yeah, larry israeli soldiers are dying deeper and deep near the heart of gaza as that circle they have essentially right now around gaza city is getting closer and closer and smaller and smaller. so far they cut off many of the main roads that lead from the north to the south. the bigger challenge remains is finding all those tunnels that hamas militants are currently utilizing. the idf troops went and found more of those tunnels. often funding them in and around schools, hospitals and most recently what appears to be a pharis wheel. the idf says hamas has lost

control of north gaza as they is fighting on the ground. face-to-face fight something happening near gaza's largest hospital, a location the israeli military says is main command center for hamas, accused them of essentially using it as a shield, something hamas has denied. when it comes to continued talk of a cease-fire or israeli troops slowing down, here is how the idf responded today. >> translator: trans there is no cease-fire. we're bottling hamas. gaza civilians are fleeing from the north to the south because they understand hamas is using them as human shield. >> reporter: we're also seeing more and more palestinian civilians who are abandoning their homes in the north to move to the south. thousands once again using the humanitarian corridor opened by israeli soldiers which was cleared for several hours today, just based on the sheer demand of people who are trying to move from the north to the south to

get away from all the intense fighting. larry as of now, 34 israeli soldiers have been killed since the start of this ground operation in gaza, larry? larry: tough stuff. jeff paul, be safe. we appreciate your reporting very much. let's turn to edward lawrence at the white house. edward, another one of these weird doublespeak press conferences. what can you tell us today? >> reporter: i can tell you just within the last 15 or 20 minutes ago a source with knowledge of the discussions tells fox news there is negotiation between the u.s., israel and qatar for and up to three-day pause to get hostages out and humanitarian aid in. now the discussions are ongoing from this. nothing has been firmed up. the white house would not confirm the length of the pause but did confirm the pressure campaign. >> i can't confirm those reports. i can confirm that in almost every conversation that we're having with the israelis right now we're talking about the benefit of humanitarian pauses. i would remind there are already

been a couple of small humanitarian pauses to allow people to get out including a small number of hostages who have been released. this is not a new idea but something we believe should be continued to be pursued. >> reporter: so during the terrorist attack on israel last month hamas took about 240 people hostage. some of them are believed to be the americans but the nsc spokesperson says they have not seen any proof of life for any of the hostages still remaining in gaza. the president trying to get as many pauses as necessary in the fighting to get the hostages out and aid in. representative cory mills from congress says that any pause would just help hamas as propaganda to say to the world that they were able to stymie or stop the israeli defense forces. back to you, larry. larry: edward, does this chap, kirby, i don't know him, i don't want to get personal, i don't know him, does he ever say anything good about israel like

they're doing a good job? the idf is gaining momentum. we want to see them annihilate those awful terrorists or the idf is abiding by the international laws of war or the idf is helping gaza refugees evacuate. there are pictures all over the web with white flags and israeli soldiers escorting gaza refugees out. does he ever say anything goo good about israel in the briefings. >> the u.s. supports is rail, gives defense for israel, talks about hamas attacks as a massacre. that is horrible, nothing should ever happen. in the same breadth as much as they feel for the israel victims in the attacks but they feel for the victims being killed, innocent civilians are being killed as bombs drop as hamas soldiers or hamas terrorists are using civilians as human shields. so in the same breadth they feel the same sympathy for both those

civilians. larry: moral ambiguity. thank you, edward lawrence, terrific stuff. all right, folks we'll talk to senator ted cruz about all this in just a few minutes and then former u.s. ambassador to israel david friedman is going to come on the show and talk some more about it with us as well. let me weigh in with my riff. all of sudden our reporters are terrific, they are the no the problem. the problem is what is going on in the press room from the podium. seems like israel's so-called best friend are spending their time attacking the jewish state or if not attacking certainly criticizing the jewish state. this is in the middle of a war for israel's very survival and i think it is utter nonsense, completely unhelpful. now here is a "washington post" headline, and i will quote, israeli troops fight in the heart of gaza city amid global calls for pause. everybody wants a pause, don't they. everybody talks pause. that is except israel. because the idf is getting the

job done. that's the key. aaron cohen will be on in a few minutes. the job being to annihilate hamas. that is the key objective. now the g7 countries are calling for a pause of course. fox has confirmed biden has in fact pressed benjamin netanyahu for a three-day cease-fire a terrible idea. the president and blinken have been pushing for this over a week. there is no difference between a pause and a cease-fire. that is just political semantics. why should israel stop the momentum? they're already into the heart of gaza city. the defense minister gallant repeating prime minister netanyahu says no humanitarian pause without the return of all the hostages. that is a most sensible point of view. what about that view? why don't the g7 and biden and blinken understand that point of view? and by the way israel has had small pauses to allow gaza civilians to evacuate.

there is an extraordinary scene, a picture from the "new york sun" benny avni story, great reporter, showing israeli soldiers escorting gas san civilians leaving hamas with a white flag. israeli soldiers escorting them with a white flag. israel is not getting any credit for these humane gestures. war is hell, it is awful. there are unfortunately very high costs just as there were in world war ii, in places like dresden, or berlin or for that matter hiroshima. this is a just war that was started by hamas barbaric murdering of 1400 people. frankly the g7 ought to keep its yap shut and so should biden, blinken. why don't they defend america's honor and security which is under attack by nearly 50 terrorist missiles? lay down a marker. send a tough message like, stopping an iranian oil inship on its way to selling its cargo

to china which would give iran even more money to finance this dreadful war? barack obama is saying wow, obama, saying nobody's hands are clean. really? actually, sir, your hands are not clean. you gave iran $1.7 billion in cash and gold bars and then released another 100 billion in frozen assets? that's the kind of money that iran used to finance terrorism right up to october 7th. no, mr. obama, i'm sorry, your hands are bloody here and president biden of course following the direction of obama and worse, has essentially ended the financial and energy sanctions on iran, giving them even more money. so mr. biden's hands are very dirty. you know in the terrorist game, like all war, money is ultimately the key. speaking of money why isn't

there any widespread media coverage of the great "new york post" article today on the hamas billionaire living in qatar? living in qatar in a life of luxury. you got to get this story. the head of the politburo, the head of the hamas politburo, head of foreign relations, another leader, the three of them have a combined total of 11 billion-dollar fortune. one of them is some kind of a ping-pong champion. isn't that great? this is the height of hypocrisy, poverty in gaza almost unrivaled, not these guys. where is the coverage of this outrage? then lately secretary of state blinken he wants to pick a new fight with israel over postwar plans. before i get to postwar, how about publicly praising our so-called best friend for its tremendous war-time performance. meanwhile israel doesn't want to run gaza. they have to secure it for a

while after blowing up the hamas terrorists but they don't want to govern it. blinken creating a straw horse in order to beat it down in the middle of a war for israel's survival? talk about infidelity and stupidity and joe biden's mentor, barack obama who still may be running the white house for all we know, he is still saying that israel occupied gaza. no they didn't. gaza originally run by the plo and they had elections and the palestinians in 2007 voted for hamas. hamas has been running gaza for 16 years. let me repeat that. hamas has been running gaza for 16 years. that's not on occupation. why doesn't blinken and his pals get the story straight? there is a factual history here. mr. biden, mr. blinken, should stop nitpicking israel. you know do something constructive for a change.

save israel, save america, why don't you just stop a ship? come to think of it, stop several oil ships. send a message to iran for once. all right, that is just my riff. you know. get it off my chest. joining me now with great pleasure to bring back to our show, the great senator from texas mr. ted cruz who is the author of a new book, titled. unwoke, how to defeat cultural marxism in america. thank you, sir. we'll get to the book in just a moment. i love selling books and i love selling your books, really, all they can do is nitpick israel here and by the way get the story wrong? by the way obama has blood on his hands for what he did. biden is implicated too for what he did. they can't even get the damn stories straight, sir. >> look you're exactly right. as always your monologue is spot on. i agree with every word you said and at the end of the day it is

really simple, stop giving money to terrorists who want to kill us. you're right, barack obama gave iran over $100 billion. joe biden gave iran nearly $100 billion in a very real sense they funded the death squads that were murdering civilians in israel. they're funding the rockets that are raining down on israel. what is the biden administration's response? at every step since october 7th, the biden administration has been undermining israel, has been calling on them for a cease-fire , for a pause. it's real simple, joe biden wants israel to stop killing terrorists. we should stand unequivocally with israel. prime minister netanyahu is exactly right. the only response to these atrocities is to utterly eliminate hamas and, the biden administration is doing everything they can to prevent hamas from being eliminated. in fact worse than that.

joe biden's first response after this attack was to say he wanted to give $100 million to gaza which will go straight to hamas and be used to fund terrorism. it makes no sense whatsoever. larry: the other thing is, senator, just occurs to me, blinken, this is a straw horse. israel doesn't want to run gaza. they may want to secure gaza for a while after they win the war, hoping with god's grace they in fact annihilate hamas, but that is not their game. they don't want to run the place. the other thing is, israel didn't occupy gaza. obama's history is completely wrong. israel didn't occupy gaza. hamas won an election in 2007. maybe they stole an election, i don't know but they have been governing for all these years, 1years. israel if anything is trustworthy. the history here is wrong. it is made-up. biden is lying. blinken is lying. picking fight with with israel in the middle of a fight for

their existence. i don't get it, senator, honest to god i don't get it. >> you're absolutely right they're lying and they know they're lying it is occupied territory. israel has not been in gaza. hamas is running gaza. when you say they don't get it, let me tell you i will explain why, actually my new book came out yesterday answers the question as to why. so the book is called, "unwoke how to defeat cultural marxism in america." and it discusses and it explains how the radical left took over every major institution in our country from universities to k-12 education, to journalism, to big business, to big tech, to entertainment, to government and and if you want to understand why i was just recently having a conversation with a very successful tech entrepreneur in silicon valley and he is someone, a man of the left. he is traditionally been a democrat and he was expressing

complete bewilderment at the rabid anti-semitism from the left, whether it is the "squad" in the house or viciously anti-semitic protests and riots on university campuses and you explained for the cultural marxist, the world is divided into oppressors and victims. karl marx made it owners of capital and the proletariat. the solution marx advocated was the violent revolution from the proletariat that overthrows the oppressors and uses government power to forcibly redistribute wealth. for the cultural marxist, they look at israel and they have coded jews as the the oppressors. they coded palestinians as the victim. therefore the cultural marxists are rooting for hamas. it is why at harvard, my alma mater, 35 student groups put out an asinine statement saying that every murder, every rape, every atrocity from the hamas terrorists is 100% the

fault of israel and the reason they say that is the cultural marxists are cheering for the people they have decided are the victims to rise up violently and destroy the people they have decided are the oppressors. >> it is interesting, i hear you and i know you're onto something. it's just that i can't figure out, is it because jewish people are the wrong color now a days? is it because juice -- jewish people politically liberal because they work, they're capitalists and they make money? is it an attack on the capitalist system? is it a racial attack on white people? senator, i've never been able to, this new anti-semitism is pervasive, it is not brand new, i get that. it is in the obama administration. it is in the biden administration. it is in the ivy league campuses. it is not at lsu. it is not at alabama university. it is not at ohio state.

you know what i'm getting at here. what is it? why have these people taken off after jewish -- israel is a democracy. by the way it is a prosperous capitalist oriented economy. you're right, it is a marxist critique. they hate capitalism. they don't want anyone making money? >> it is all of the above. larry: yeah. >> they hate capitalists they hate success, they hate democracy. israel is a liberal democracy that protects free speech. marxists hate free speech. they use power to silence you and force your obedience. to give you a example of intersection, intersection right at the heart of the new book, unwoke, as you know i do a podcast every week, three days a week, it is called verdict with ted cruz. a few weeks ago dish. larry: still waited to be invited. >> it was titled black lives matter is hamas. and i walked through how black lives matter, the organization,

black lives matter, inc., was founded by avowed marxist organizers. they describe themselves as trained marxist organizers in fomenting communist revolution and they're viciously racist but they're also viciously anti-semitic including one of the cofounders of black lives matter going back to 1995 called for the utter destruction of israel. larry: yeah. >> when october 7th happened, black lives matter chapters were celebrating hamas attacks including the chicago chapter tweeted out a picture of the paraglider which is what the terrorists used to murder hundreds of young people at an outdoor concert and said we stand with the palestinians. in my podcast i also outlined the big business in america had given millions of dollars to black lives matter, companies like amazon, apple and coca-cola. here is amazing thing, larry, the podcast came out

october 1th. the next day coca-cola quietly odd didded their website to mention of $500,000 they gave to black lives matter that. is what the book is a b. go by the book on the bookstore, amazon, a best-seller. give you practical tools to fight to take our institutions back. larry: i'm all for it, this craziness, i guess they don't like white people. they don't like capitalist people. they don't like prosperity. they don't like america. they do not like america. >> that is exactly right. larry: senator ted cruz as always you're spot on. folks go out and buy the click. one click amazon wherever you want to do it. it is easy as pie. senator, we appreciate it. coming up here on "kudlow," little bit more on this, israel doesn't want to run gaza, okay? israel does not want to run gaza. israel just wants to annihilate the hamas terrorists.

so we are going to talk to aaron cohen, who is the best of the best and then right after that we're going to bring in former u.s. ambassador david friedman, best of the best and see if we can stop tony blinken from yapping against israel. ted cruz is right. it is just so disturbing. they don't like white people, capitalist people, they don't like freedom. they don't like democracy. that is what this is about. they don't like democracy. israel is the only real democracy in the middle east. i'm kudlow. back at ameriprise financial, more than 9 out of 10 of our clients are likely to recommend us. our neighbors, the garcias, love working with you. because the advice we give is personalized, hey, john reese, jr. how's your father doing? to help reach your goals with confidence. my sister has told me so much about you. that's why it's more than advice worth listening to. it's advice worth talking about. ameriprise financial.

♪. larry: israeli forces gaining huge momentum. why would anyone want to stop them in joining us now is our great friend, former israeli counterterrorism operative aaron cohen. aaron, i don't know, i like what i read. you tell me. they look like they're doing really well? >> well, larry, israel is cutting upham mass as we speak 10-yards at a time as we've discussed. israel now controls the port on the west, nice open area. makes it very hard for hamas to continue attacking. israel has got complete control of jabilya, gaza city. from what i understand, there is already significant engagements inside of those tunnels.

they're eliminating, neutralizing, killing hamas terrorists by the dozens. let me say this though, larry. the only occupation of gaza is by hamas. they have been there since 2005. you know they started rooting themselves in 1987. larry: that's what i've been saying. that's what i've been saying. i used the election of 2007 but i made that point the whole show. obama is wrong, biden is wrong, blinken is wrong. they're fact allly wrong, aaron, that is the problem. >> they have, these leaders unfortunately have no real tactical context of what it means to fight a multifront war and counterterrorism with counterterrorism specific capabilities. the israelis as i said for the last month are masters at it of the israel is dealing with hezbollah verying aing aggressin the northern front. dealing with thinks firing at

israel with advanced weapons systems. right now i can tell you from my sources israel is getting very close to wrapping up the little hamas birthday present and ending it for good. we're not that far away. this administration is out of line. they have no context what this involves. any break are or cease-fire or any variation awarding thereto is a tactical mistake. if you want to talk about teeny little tactical pauses here and there that's a different story. larry: right. >> the reason why is because you've seen footage, there has been b-roll, let me break this down, of thousands upon thousands of gazans who the idf opened up save passage to allow them to move to the southern portion of gaza. larry: yes, yes. i mentioned that in my riff. >> let me add this, larry, let me add this, the israeli defense forces specifically their special operations units have been engaging hamas and have secretly embedded into those,

into those masses of people migrating to the south and they are providing close protection and support to those civilians which the world needs to know. undercover assets, sharpshooters. they have engaged hamas on multiple points of those journeys while they're walking. no other military in the world would do that to protect its, to protect the enemy's people because we do it because the palestinians are good people but at the end of the day, bibi netanyahu is one of our warrior sons, he knows exactly what he is doing and it is time for the biden administration and his ivy league cronies to sit back to let israel handle its business right now. larry: right, right. >> bigger problem as you mentioned in your previous segment, larry all these fat cats gotten their way turned into the money sucking gangsters, i will say it in hebrew, say it in arabic. [speaking foreign language]

which of means every one of them is within israel's reach. it is time for president biden, it is time for president biden to put, to put athe warrants out to bring those terrorist leaders back who make saddam hussein look like a puppy. larry: let israel get them. let israel get them. let israel get them. >> time to put these guys away for good. larry: get the money, get them and the money. it is an absolute outrage, it is an insult. >> we can get too everyone of them, larry aaron cohen, i need you on 24/7. we'll have you back on friday for our little show. we need you 24/7. it is wonderful. you are a prince who speaks the truth. >> appreciate you. larry: coming up here on "kudlow" we still have former u.s. ambassador to israel david friedman. will come on and talk about this. why are hamas leaders living in qatar? why are they living on

♪. larry: all right, as far as i know israel not now, and not in the future wants to run gaza. i don't know what this secretary of state antony blinken thinks he is doing picking a fight which is rail. joining me is david friedman, former u.s. ambassador to israel, who knows the story. david we were just talking with aaron cohen, talking earlier in the show, this is like knocking down a straw horse in the middle of a war for israel's survival. they don't want to run gaza. protect for a while maybe. they didn't run it in the first place. it was run by hamas! >> they gave it up unilaterally, voluntarily in 2006.

all they asked of the people of gaza, just give us back a quiet border. that is all they asked for. they wanted nothing else. people there chose hamas and that's where we are today. every time israel leave as territory that vacuum is filled by terrorists. it happened in gaza. happened in south lebanon. happened when they gave up sinai, isis moved in. they have to be careful. they don't want it. they also don't want another october 7. they have to be careful about it. the u.s. government needs to give them some space. larry: that's it. ambassador, why is, the secretary of state picking a public fight, it is in the front pages of all the newspapers in the last 24 hours over this, over this which is utterly irrelevant. and by the way let's get the war over first before we worry -- why is he doing this? what's your reading of it? >> i think this is all politics. we had a full-throated

endorsement on day one in the face of barbaric attacks and slowly eking downward ever since. it is politics. it is michigan. it is the voters. look, larry, this idea about a cease-fire, understand that the israeli army right now is in the middle of urban warfare. this isn't "braveheart" where you have the two armies distances from each other. this is urban warfare. you declare a cease-fire. what will the soldiers do, if they can't attack will they get a fa laugh fall? they will get killed. you're putting them in harm's way. this is not politics. in 2014 john kerry imposed a cease-fire on israel and hamas. you know what? a very lovely boy got out of his armored vehicle because of the sears fire had been agreed to and hamas reached a cease-fire they killed him. you know what happened then? for nine years the family has been trying to get back his remains.

hamas will not give back the remains of this poor soldier. that is what we're dealing with. all the politics has to go aside here. we need to understand the enemy, need to eradicate the enemy. that is the only way we'll have hope for anybody in this region. larry: in plain english, in plain english, prime minister netanyahu said you release at all the hostages we'll look at some kind of pause. what is not to understand? again in wartime you're supposed to protect and support your friends, not pick public fight the with them. i do not, you know what, david? this business about michigan. i know they are palestinian voters that is the most disgusted dirty lowdown politics imaginable, in the middle of a war like this, for survival worry about a couple precincts in michigan? trump is winning that anyway. >> israel is fighting for its life. larry: right. >> israel is the greatest friend america has. i worked that relationship for four years.

we worked together at times and i know how much israel cares about america. when you know israel sees things in its part of the world that directly threaten america, the first thing it does, if it can help save an american soldier, if it can help save an american citizen it runs in to help us and you know what? they're fighting for their lives. we should treat them as a friend and treat them as an ally. larry: every day we should support them publicly, every single day. ambassador david friedman, thanks for helping out the show. we'll go right on, my good friend, brian kilmeade, co-host of "fox & friends," author new book, teddy and booker t, how two american icons blazed a path for american racial equity. >> equality. not equity. larry: i did that on radio too. >> that is a different message. larry: it is. i know you're note an equity guy, you're equality guy. booker t. washington founded tuskegee, is that right?

there is them on treadmills. larry: playing ping-pong. >> they're worth billions of dollars. that is mostly grants, money from other arab countries, money from america, u.n. and international monetary fund. larry: probably others are there too. >> what about fattah, mahmoud abbas worth 35 million has a private jet. how do you live on the west bank, get blown out of gaza, palestinian authority is shambles he takes all the money, how did he get $35 million? what skill does he have? larry: i don't know. things are going to change. what ever our third-rate politicians think they're doing here israel will go ahead to do the right thing. that is what is so wonderful. >> i agree. larry: that is what is wonderful. one last quick minute, politics. i love this people are blaming donald trump because glenn youngkin couldn't lynn the legislature in virginia and by the way, if he had brought trump in he would have triple the turn out and made it even more interesting. he didn't bother to do that.

this is craziness. >> he owned virginia. he owned his victory as a governor. larry: yes. >> he wanted to flip the house, keep the senate. it doesn't work. he went all in on it. takes a lot of guts to do that. it didn't work. whatever his message was it didn't work. there are a lot of things to blame donald trump don't make them up. he mass nothing to do with this. in kentucky, thought cameron, it was mitch mcconnell, the whole issue was abortion. has nothing to do with trump. he was for zero or he did not respond to people that said he was for zero exemptions. they rolled out 12-year-old girls who tragically were raped by their stepfathers said, daniel cameron is going to make me have this baby. that is what flipped that vote. larry: you're very sensible person. have i always said that to you? >> i always think i'm sensible. practical anyway. larry: you're practical, you're right. good books. one click. what is the name of the thing? run it by me again?

hunter biden stand out as receiving the most suspicious transactions from foreign nationals but rob walker played a big role in the deal with china. so we've subpoenaed those three. we have asked for people to come in voluntarily. tony bobulinski is the first on that list. we know he is the one who first identified joe biden as the big guy. we didn't feel like we needed to subpoena tony bobulinski because he wants to come in and talk. he will come in. we also asked for sarah biden and melissa cohen, hunter biden 's current wife as well as hunter biden and some more family members -- larry: hallie biden. why didn't you subpoena all of them, put them under the force of congressional law? >> yeah, well before you subpoena you're supposed to request that they come in. we've already requested that hunter biden and jim biden come in and obviously they haven't

cooperated with our investigation. also we were ready to subpoena. we sent a simple letter of request to come in to be interviewed for the rest of the biden family members f they fail to respond to our request then i will predict on your show they will be subpoenaed very soon. larry: mr. chairman, again bank records don't lie, that has been your motto and you're right. the question now will the justice department execute these subpoenas? >> well, we have the ability to execute the subpoenas. hopefully if they fail to comply with these subpoenas then hopefully we'll take congressional action to hold them in contempt. we fully expect the bidens to cooperate. we looked at the last administration and they cooperated, their family members cooperated. so this is something that we've already been very transparent with the american people. we have disclosed four bank memorandums, very specific, very detailed bank memorandums that provide evidence this family was

influence peddling on a scale we've never seen before in america, to the tune of tens of millions of dollars that they took in from our enemies around the world. we want to know what they did to receive the money. we want to know what role joe played in the influence peddling scheme. we want to know specific questions about specific transactions and specific businesses that we've been unable to determine the validity of. larry: in your judgment, mr. chairman, does this move the process closer to an impeachment of joe biden? >> absolutely. you know, but, unlike the democrats we want to provide due process. so we've publicly and transparently with the american people disclosed what we found there are some bad things. there is tax evasions. we're talking about violation of the foreign agent registration act. we're talking about money laundering. we're talking about bribery. we'll give the bidens the

opportunity to come in to clear their good name. if they're innocent they should want to come in front of the house oversight committee and tell the truth and that's what this investigation's been about, the truth. we want 9 american people to know the truth. we followed the money. we've been transparent with that and i will tell you, the money trail, it doesn't look good for the bidens. larry: i agree, i think you've done this very methodically sir. this is participate of the impeachment inquiry if you build a factual case and tell me if i'm wrong, and at the end of that process if you're successful getting all of these people, some of these people, whatever, there will be consideration of a full impeachment? >> that's right. my job as chairman of the oversight committee was to lead this investigation, to follow the money. that's what we've done. the money has flowed all the way to the biden family. remember there were, there were nine family members in addition to joe biden that we've identified as receiving funds

from this influence peddling scheme. we want to talk to those biden family members. then at that point it will be up to the republican conference and republican judiciary committee to determine what the next steps are. but i will tell you, you know, this is, this is the biggest corruption scandal in my lifetime from any political office. this is something that, that i think every american would agree needs to never happen again. we need to get rid of the bidens and the menendezs in washington and this is the first step. larry: yes, sir. chairman james comer. we appreciate you coming on our show to make this announcement and best of luck in your proceedings. we appreciate it very much. >> thank you. larry: folks, i will be right back with the last word.
