onizes >> congressman colmer, i'll begin with you. now that wie, the fbi, had this laptop for 11 months, there is low hanging fru but that's not the big one .n the you said when you made your announcement about your investigation, this is an investigatnounceme e into the presidentthat l of the united states .ap that laptop implicates joe biden. we have photographs that proveet that he was with hunter and hise foreign business associates. we know that he went and attended meetings with foreign business associates and hunter.no kw hun groans and complains. he's paying dad or pops all this money. so the question here is , is this the biggest influences t peddling scandal? >> congress is investigating? >> absolutely.s is there's nothing like it in the history of america. we've never had a family that pl has influencede peddling to thir degree. and if you look at the the whole purpose of what we're o talking about today, it's because this investigation of the biden family influenced lo peddling, the evidence is based a lot in part with wha

now, to that point, congressman colmer, in the letter that you wrote for fauci, you said, because you and your agency have been at the center of the pandemic response since its inception, your documents and your testimony are essential to informing the committee about what the u.s. government knew regarding the origins of covid and when the government knew it. >> now, this would be the biggest scandal of all time. if it turns out that indirectly or what or in some way u.s. government tax dollars went to the ultimate creation of the virus that killed millions and millions of people worldwide and hundreds and hundreds of thousands of americans. the biggest scandal of all time ,correct? you're correct. and we are suffering the consequences every day. our kids are behind in school because people are dead, know the whole supply chain has been disrupted, all because of decisions that dr. fauci and dr. collins made. and now we find out what we've known all along, that our tax dollars were going there. despite what dr. fauci said initially, none of these employees that had anything to do with

james colmer said it goes up to 50 countries, but isn't this now the reason why culmer is saying this is an investigation intoof the the president of the united states ? he didn't say hunter.w hu nontw hunter is involved, but hd said our investigation will be about the president. certainly it is , john . and again, hunter had noerience experience. we all know why huntery hunter with being paid by this corrupts company. and we also know remember an t emaihatl was released.e it was self serving to the state department at the time, but it was vert the y importantt because it was john kerry's stepson who said, i wants part nothing to do with my business partners, devin archer and hunter biden. archerany more because what thes doing is not right. therefore, the secretary ofkneww state knew what was goinhag on , the the vice president had to havett known what was going on . and so that ties him into alloni this. that's why the investigation is about him, because he was the sitting vice president oftet the united states at the time laen all thi the time whens hap >> and , greg, i'll give you

incomingreaction house oversighe committee chairman james colmer. siames comber.r, thank you veryr joining me tonight. i obviously am upset.ns are i think most u americans are upset. this is a non partisan issues i? right.nscends an but this this transcendsyt anything else that we might be thinking about each other, because what keeps this nation the re bkeeps and stable is the constitution and the belief, the belief it should be the reality that the american people are genuinely free. we see nothing ever happened hae who do to peopl te who do this kind of thing, who get away with stuff t at the irs, et cetera. y ou areyou're going to be in chaf looking into this. what can the american peoplean e expect from your leadership? >> well, this is seriouse and this is going to be a top priority for republicans on the oversight committee. we've beenrepublic talking abous for three straight weeks. it's increased the tension since elon musk started doinge n the right thing and becoming transparent. d ation, at twitter.. you know, my concern was that ws this

right.n, and so, again, it begs the question, as congressman colmer earlier, what canearlie congress dr, o now that the house republicans will be in loo the majority? >> well, look, we'rek, w going to obviously have to have some investigations to find out how happened in the first the r place. how has this monopoly been able to grow and be able to completely throw out the first amendment rights of o so many individuals? to be able to attackoniz and demonize conservative voices while enjoying the protections of the federaleg government? that is something we're actually going to have to getng get behind and have investigations on . encond thing is why ar why ear they enjoyinjog these thesefedea protections from the federal government when they were obviously not eveniously not goa basis of what they're supposed to or respecting voices? this is supposed to be an openrf peopform for people to be able to share ideas and to have open discussions. they are shutting down one sid purs .pu they are pursuing pushing another. and they were actually sculpturingshin assaulr information that the pu

those, investigate ins is the incoming chairman of the house oversight committee, congressman james colmer congressman, i got to tell you, i used to be the chairman of that committee, but i'm a little jealous right now because you got a full plate ahead. you you got a target rich environment. i had one as well. but tell me, prioritize. set the stage here. when you get that gavel next week. what's at the top of the agenda? well, there's so many i'm going to tell you what we're going to start with . but remember this, jason . there's been no oversight of this administration for the past two years. they haven't had a single cabinet secretary or undersecretary in front of the oversight committee for the entire time. joe biden's been president for two years. now. you go back two years prior to that when they were in charge of the oversight committee and donald trump, which we had. thirty nine cabinet secretaries and undersecretaries in front of the house oversight committee. so we're going to start with all of wasted taxpayer dollars. we're very concerned about where so much of the covid stimul

here to explain more , incoming chairman of the house oversighht committee, congressman john james colmer. sorry, congressmancommittee . what's interesting here is that we keep hearing about hunter, but we do know that this is really about joe biden, right. th he's the big guy, that this is not just about the son. this is strange things, not just with the laptop and ukraine and china, but when- you're looking at the kind of money with the sales of ofu artwork, is this also the kind of thing you're going to beking looking into whe to n you take a look at what's happening here? >> absolutely. i mean, you hear more stories s about outrageousto activities that the biden family is engaged in. you have to ask yourself,his? where's joe biden on this? why doesn't he have the decencyi to rein the family in? i mean, with respect to thisn. artwork, i honestly thought that after the first round of artwork that sold for over half a million dollars to where wes believe is is an outfit in china, we thought joe biden would say cut it out no more . i mean, that's crossed the the line. even walter schaub,

representative colmer, i have to say, i love that you keep coming back because every nowly. and then i bite you gently. bun't leavt i don't i don't lear a mark. but i really appreciatepproac h hereyour honesty and your apph here, because we know thatjo you've got a big job ahead of you. th you've now seen the fbati clai l that the revealing of their own exchanges in their own emailss by their own agents is aa cons conspiracy theory. does this give you any sense ofw of, you know, encourage meantoug about their own honestyht with any kind of hearings you nv might be having? no, it's very disappointing to see the fbi continue in its. downward spiral. what they called misinformation wasinforma s their own words. what we have revealed from wor the twitter dump is their own words, their own emails, notward to mention the whistleblowers have come forward and told us additional information that the public will be hearing very theo soon in what they call who they call conspiracy theorists. a and members of congress or conservatives in the media and members of congress. a so the fbi h
