is going on. what do you think is next? >> speaker mccarthy: putin is much weaker. putin would have never let prigozhin get this far or continue. prig prigozhin, this was not a secret, he was publicly criticizing putin and the leadership. the whole entrance into ukraine was a lie and you watch the people rise up and support prigozhin. his ability to get that close to moscow without air force taking him out, that has to be -- >> contrast to zelenskyy, he was on the street. come and get me. >> i'm sending a helicopter to get you out and zelenskyies, no.

and putin -- you watch that russia is not a constitutional government. it is really just an illegal -- >> brian: collection of war lords. >> speaker mccarthy: yeah, oligarchs. it was mistake to go into ukraine. president xi needs to back away from support to russia. that should be clear sign. >> brian: he's not. >> ainsley: he might look at this. >> speaker mccarthy: world leader should pressure president xi. >> steve: mob bass boss, as you describe him. mr. speaker, watch ted cruz, he has a podcast and here is what he had to say regarding hunter biden and use of the what'sapp.

>> this is direct evidence of joe biden abusing government power to enrich his son and assuming 10% for the big guy to enrich himself. what's app says we want to know, not me, hunter, mooching off my dad. this what's app ties joe biden to the millions of dollars coming from communist china. it is possible hunter biden is lying. possible joe biden was not next to him or not going to inflict official damage on the chinese if they didn't pay him and his son millions. that is possible. according to the whistleblower, they did not investigate and were prohibited from

investigating. >> steve: the what'sapp says this is me, hunter biden, and i'm sitting with my dad. also sounding like a mob boss. the senator is calling for wheels start moving toward impeachment of joe biden. impeachments start in your department. >> speaker mccarthy: i'm happy ted is catching up, have the what's app message because of work the house has been doing. this is underways anden moos under jason smith, these are long-term worker who have been through it and uch watched the abuse of power and waited to get the six-year off of burisma, they want a special counsel and seeing the doj and attorney general declined that, even

though saying something different. we requested weiss to come in and testify. there are notes and he e-mailed everybody, this was said during the meeting. >> brian: will you have weiss and shapley there, the whistleblower? maybe not together? >> speaker mccarthy: you have bank statements and you know about the 1023 and what's app. we are doing this different from anybody out. now we found the president lied to us and said they never dealt with anything in china. now the whistleblower says he was in a meeting with the chinese company as vice president and millions came through shell companies. the 1023 was never given to the

irs whistleblowers that were investigating president biden. >> ainsley: why did he only have to pay $100,000 for millions in accident taxes? >> speaker mccarthy: because the u.s. attorney had a six-year time frame and should have been punished more. there was a porsche somebody bought for him and had money sent to him as a loan, he did everything corrupt. >> brian: miranda devine says job met with his business partners 12 different times on 12 dealing. rob walker, good friend, all over the laptop. will this prompt you to do impeachment?

have you found joe biden broke any rules or does it look fishy? >> >> speaker mccarthy: more than looking fishy, the family created companies when he was vp. we see foreign governments have paid. if you have a company, why do you not have offices and why go to the companies, none of it smells right, they talk about the big guy. i believe firmly, we have to have constitutional reason of where to go and follow the facts. everyday we find new facts. >> ainsley: are there people behind the scenes? most americans don't know how to set up a shell company. >> speaker mccarthy: there are people in the administration holding back from providing the information. i had to call christopher wray
