to get to the bottom of the origin of the speedometer house oversight committee ranking member james comerjoins me right now, it's great to have you this weekend, thank you very much for being here i put that question to you why weren't your democrat colleagues with you at this hearing. >> i believe the democrats were right the donald trump was all along. this was a pandemic that was started in wuhan, china, i think they realize that president trump was right all along, the world health organization complied with china's lies to cover it up we had four tremendous respectable scientific witnesses there, they all provided valuable testimony that was the most productive hearing we've had this entire congress and what we learned overwhelming evidence to sustain the fact that the virus probably originated in the wuhan lab and there isn't any evidence to support the initial theory by the w.h.o. and dr. fauci that this started from an animal summer in china and spread to inhuman. maria: the next question has to be was this a biological weapon, is this a soft war with china? >> we ask that questio

kayleigh mcenany, darrell issa, joe concha, congressman james comer and former dhs counsel.e is mike howell. more on the shocking story out of reuters. we'll break it down. dr. fauci still refuses to testify before congress about his support of funding for super virus research in china. he is now getting criticized for berating people for not getting vaccinated, claiming that they're playing politics. then the hhs secretary claims it is the government's right to know if you are vaccinated. also the big fight in washington right now. we've got gas prices soaring. that now threatens the economic recovery. but president biden wants to raise taxes on oil and gas even more in or to pay for big government spending. this as biden's push to raise taxes on companies in the top bracket looks like that is losing steam do to fears that will also hurt the recovery. also tonight former president trump's new lawsuit over big tech censorship. it is now fueling a new gop push to crack down on social media. big tech has become so large, so powerful, critics warn they have gotten away with so

joining me house oversight reform committee ranking member james comer. breaches hit a 1-year7-year high. united states had most expensive breaches, $9 million per incident. in canada, 4.5 million. when you average them all together the estimate is roughly 4.24 million per incident. we're talking about a massive amount of money here around president biden is just getting to form some legislation to help with this. your thoughts? >> well it's, i'm glad that he is taking this seriously. i wish he had started a little sooner. the fact of the matter is the cyberattacks increased sergeantly ever since joe biden took office and the problem is the two primary violators of the cyberattacks are sponsored by the russian government and the chinese government around they don't fear joe biden like they feared donald trump. that's a fact and what joe biden needs to do is hold these countries accountable. unfortunately one of the first acts joe biden did with respect to russia, he allowed them to do their pipeline while he canceled the keystone pipeline in the united st

with reaction of florida, byron donalds along with ranking member of the house oversight committee james comers legal analyst gregg jarrett. thank you so much for joining us. congressman donalds, i want to start with you because you've got to be there on the floor, nancy pelosi, jerry nadler, gift or work with these people. i used to but i threw in the towel. how do members react when to the point that you are going to be arrested and then taking it off for photo ops and nadler doesn't seem to care. speak of the members are furious, they are overage. they can understand or we never seem to be able to understand the thought process of nancy pelosi. it is highly tyrannical to go this far and say members of your staff or visitors are going to be arrested is ridiculous and insane. i told my staff that you will be protected, visitors come to see me and if the speaker has a problem with that she can come see me as another member of congress. another thing that is really a problem is she never gave manny data, no information, she just came down from on high like she is queen. but she's not, she's ano

joining us tonight to discuss senator todd young, fox contributor liz peek, marshall a blackburn, james comer, michael burgess from the house gop doctors coccus and brian babin on the house border security coccus, also we are monitoring actions on capitol hill and will have the latest on key senators bipartisan agreement on major infrastructure deal, expected procedural vote tonight, plus lady democrats are calling for president biden to erase student loan debt on top of the trillions in spending already ian proposed. but here's a problem in addition to where the money iset going to come from we have the details on that. the defined fallout after threats to cut the police board seattle's mayor is calling for more police, officers as violence is on the rise one major city goes to court to fight against hiring more police. and were also following president biden's move to boost private security as the tax surge how tough the president be with foreign actors, wait till you hear the staggering amount ofch money data breaches are costing in the united states. plus more mass confusion the cdc new m

james comer. mr. comer: i thank the gentleman from california for yielding. madam speaker, i rise today to recognize a great kentucky statesman and a true friend. this past weekend, kentucky lost one of its best. my dear friend and a former majority leader of the kentucky house of representatives vam carney. he represented home county in the kentucky general assembly for many years. he rose asthma the gentlewoman reserves the balance of her time. leader and would have been there as long awanted to be there until he fell ill and those of us who have kept up with him in the past year and a half fought a battle that few people could have fought over the past. this past weekend. he pasted away, but will never be forgotten. the history books will write about bam carney and about his role as the majority leader in the kentucky house of representatives and ar leader for education in the commonwealth of kentucky. what i want to take a few moments to recognize is bam carney, my friend. when you are involved in politics, you get to meet a lot of lot of people. and i se

yield two minutes to the gentleman from kentucky, the lead republican on the oversight committee, james comer. >> thank you, madam chair. i rise to oppose the pfas action act. as a ranking member of the house over site committee, i participated in many hours of hearings where we explored issues involving pfas materials and heard from witnesses spanning many perspectives on this important issue. as legislation and regulations are advanced to address pfas issues, it's critical that we ensure these efforts define the chemicals of concern consistently, adequately and properly as supported by sound science. in the current bill, however, what is ultimately classified as a pfas material is either left up to interpretation by epa or broadly defined. using either approach risks subjecting potentially thousands of chemicals to unnecessary regulation or restriction. as we've heard previously in the house oversight committee and as we have heard on the floor this week during debate on various amendments, a broad definition of pfas could subject such key products as lithium ion batteries, semiconductors,

joining me now, kentucky congressman, house oversight and reform committee ranking member, james comerl weeds here, but the only reason i can think that some of these republican senators would have signed onto this is knowing that nancy pelosi is going to hold it up unless she gets her way with this $3.5 trillion reconciliation so it's a vote, a yay vote to go nowhere. that's my theory. >> i think your theory is correct. i think a lot of of republicans still have a lot of questions, how to pay for is a big question, when you mention $110 million for roads and bridges, exactly which roads and bridges does that include. but when you look at what's going on here in the house right now, nancy pelosi's conference is in chaos. you have the squad and the more progressive wing of her party, they want to spend trillions of dollars in new social programs and the senate's not going to go along with that so i don't think we're anywhere near passing an infrastructure bill and i think that a lot of republicans in the senate realized that last night. dagen: house speaker nancy pelosi now requiring al

james comber. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from kentucky is recognized for two minutes. mr. comer: i rise to oppose the pfas action act. as the ranking member of the house oversight committee i participated in many hours of hearings. during the previous congress where we explored issues involving pfas materials and heard from witnesses spanning many perspectives on this important issue. as legislation and regulations are advanced to address pfas issues, it's critical we ensure these efforts define the chemicals of concern consistently, adequately, and properly as supported by sound science. in the current bill, however, what is ultimately classified as a pfas material is either left open to interpretation by e.p.a. or broadly defined. using either approach we are subjecting potentially thousands of chemicals to unnecessary regulation or restriction. as we have heard previously in the house oversight committee, and as we have heard on the floor this week during debate on various amendments, a broad definition of pfas could subject such key products as lithium ion battery, semicondu
