absolutely i commend senator grassley and continuing this investigation.e needs to investigate this. they're absolutely should be a special counsel appointed to investigate all of these dealings. i can tell you that the american people want to know the truth. they want to know the facts. there is a lot of evidence out there right now that shows there was a lot of, of bad acting going on on behalf of hunter biden and the biden family. elizabeth: what is the house going to do about it? >> the found northly thing in the house, if we don't have a gavel, there is slim chance we take majority in the house. if democrats and nancy pelosi have the gavel in the house. we can do nothing in the committees of the house. we're only ranking members of the committees. we can't subpoena documents. during the whole impeachment sham were number calling individuals to testify. the democrats wouldn't let the individuals come because they control the chamber. so hopefully at some point we'll have control of the chamber. we can investigate. we will rely on others in the senate l

grassley: tomorrow is veterans day. since the end of world war i, americans have taken this day to recognize sacrifices made by our veterans and they did that in service to our country. for the third consecutive year, my office recorded the oral history of iowa's veterans for the library of congress' veteran history project. i would urge some of my colleagues to take a look at that and see if they can help add a lot of their veterans from their respective states to the history project there at the library of congress. we owe our veterans a debt of gratitude for their patriotism and it's vitally important to record the stories of veterans so that future generations will always remember their service and sacrifice that it takes to preserve our freedom. i yield the floor and suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: mr. mcconnell: mr. president. the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. mcconnell: i ask unanimous consent that further proceedings under the quoru
