and i think james comer just made a great point.his gears all greased and ready to go this morning in this role for the first time officially basically saying don't you think the american people could have figured out whether or not this made sense to them, whether or not they thought this laptop belonged to hunter biden or didn't? another particularly compelling line of questioning he just had is when he asked miss gadde if she had ever contacted hunter biden or his attorneys to say is this laptop authentic? they took the story that was fed to them by these 51 u.s. intelligence officials that they should be on the lookout for russian disinformation and they ran with it. so they are saying they have a responsibility to keep certain things off of social media. they also have a responsibility if they are going take take that role. this is not a town forum. this is an editorial enterprise. if you will be an editorial enterprise it is your duty to make sure you kick the tires on all sides of this story. you better make sure both sides -

james comer join joins us now. a good point wait for the independent scientists to test the water and air. why such a big delay, three weeks to be exact from pete buttigieg and we saw yesterday from president biden calling finally the e.p.a. administrator and the governor of ohio from warsaw. not when he was over in the united states. why has there been such delay from this administration to contact these people and to show face when such an issue is going on with americans? >> this is unacceptable. i don't believe anyone from the administration set foot there had former president trump set foot there they saw the desperation from the residents there. buttigieg should have been there on day one, along with the fema director. this should have been treated just like any other national emergency like a hurricane, a tornado, whatever. can i only imagine what the mainstream media would be doing if donald trump were president and no one from the trump administration had bothered to set foot there. the fact that the e.p.a

elizabeth: the senate should take up james comer and house g.o.p.ack to work, do you think they will do it. >> i think so,. i doubt it very much, these unions are strong. remember last summer, democrats were pushing to give unions 8.7% pay hikes, why? they suffered so under the trump administration. they thought that working conditions were generally a abysmal because trump of the hard on his workers, that is ridiculous, but everyone is kowtowing to them. it is a half million people strong. elizabeth: we need you back on the show, good to see you. >> thank you. elizabeth: we will be right back with the way you could get more involved in the "the evening edit" show, stay right there. . . say goodbye to daily insulin injections with omnipod 5... a tubeless system that automatically adjusts insulin to help protect against highs and lows. try it today. go to omnipod.com for risk information and instructions for use. consult your doctor before starting on omnipod. liz: thank for joining us tonight. we'll have more on residents from east palestine, ohio.

with that said, the facts are on the site of james comer. the facts because we have the laptop, right, brooke? >> we don't have the laptop. [laughter] no, but if james comer will issue subpoena by the 22nd, this is something, you are right, ashley, this could go on weeks and weeks and they will stonewall. but ultimately if hunter biden, james biden, eric swearing and other business associates to testify before the committee, the house has subpoena power and can bring these people in front of the panels. but ultimately i think james comer has said before republicans took the majority of the house and again despite what president biden's income of the american people don't care about this, james comer has said this is the committee's top priority right now and the republican investigations into hunter biden's business dealings, like i said, yesterday has been going on since 2019. but there has been federal investigations into hunter biden's business dealing since 2018. so, while democrats and the president can say this is a political witch hun

the house oversight committee, the new chair, james comer, during the hearing, the hearing is about covidng billions of dollars lost to fraud. here is the exchange between aoc and comer. watch. >> i cannot for the life of me understand why majority would send these three letters to these three states that leave us with no other conclusion than there need to be rank partisanship in this investigation. >> i would love to join in if you want to do that, a join probe, i would love to work with you on that or any of the 50 states. i believe it is a problem in all 50 states, especially kentucky. >> cheryl: there you go, sure, let's work together. she makes a politically motivated accusation accusing him of playing politics, great, let's work together. we spent 5 trillion on covid. billions is likely been lost to fraud, one of the people that testified yesterday said exactly that, we're looking at at least 5.4 billion in questionable loans. the fraud from unemployment and small business loans, scratching the surface, i am glad they are having hearings. >> ashley: i think the "washington post" or

the first of two hearings actually on the border in just one week house republicans t the border james comer willa hearing himself with some border agents. he is going to have come in and testify. according to comer, homeland security secretary mayokas allowed that after the panel threatened to use its subpoena power. it looks like it is getting underway. by the way, mayokas has been facing intense calls from republicans to step down. as of this morning it looks like the conference is still on that track to impeach him. >> i think speaker mccarthy and our entire republican team has to decide if we are going down that road. he has done a terrible job. it has been done intentionally. >> the video you just saw was the oversight committee hearing. that's on wasteful covid spending, covid money that congress approved. we're waiting for the chairmen to take a break and come out and also talk to us about the big news of the day what is happening in rehoboth. >> bill: we'll be in touch with you. when you're in the majority you can dictate the terms of the subject matter. >> dana: there is also a hea

what about james comer letter to the treasury? >> so, i certainly have not received anything, i am hopeful that representative comer will get that, he should demand it of the biden administration, it should not be a request it should be a demand at this point, we need to see those documents, to be able to understand, what happened. because, it is clearly -- in kirby's words consensus, that is not what this is all about, the public is beginning to catch on more and o more even those that went along with the whole covid ruse the covid cartel needs to be broken up, house of representatives should lead the way on that. maria: not just about covid we are talking about, lots of other things as well we are talking really, about the fact that senator johnson senator grassley came out with evidence, and miranda devine, peter schweizer based on on biden laptop the biden family has gone taken tens of millions of dollars from chinese officials for god's sakes why would anybody give hunter biden 3 1/2 carat diamond? that is exactly what officia

house oversight hearings into joe biden and his family are set to start wednesday and chairman james comerill include hunter's art deals, his laptop and social media censorship before the 2020 election. >> todd: the media facing renewed criticism are if coverage of the hunter biden laptop story. after claiming new york was disinformation. >> seeing if e-mails are connected to russian disinformation effort. >> it is so obviously a russian investigation. >> likely russian disinformation. >> russian disinformation effort. >> 2-1/2 weeks before the election, this laptop appears somehow. >> ashley: joe concha is joining us now, they accused several people of using it to weaponize this story in a 14-page letter, but then went back and said, just kidding, now we want the federal and state prosecutors to look into the critics in an investigation, joe, which is it? >> joe: wow, it is enough to make your hair hurt. see if we can unpack this, hunter's legal team is admitting the laptop does belong to him after years of denial and many in the media, like you just played, called it russian disinformati

an authentically trivial pursuit based on the victimology of right wing politics in america. >> james comer says it was not misinformation or russian information, james baker, he had worked as the top attorney for the fbi, implicated in the 2016 election attempt to tie then candidate donald trump to russia. >> i did not act unlawfully or inappropriately in any manner with respect to hunter biden's laptop. >> hunter biden has been under federal investigation since at least 2018, and congressman comer, the chairman of house oversight told politico earlier today he actually wants doj to hold off on indicting hunter biden until the house can complete the probes, we know house oversight, house judiciary are looking into it, not that doj is rushing, we are touching five calendar years into the investigation of hunter biden with no charges at this point. >> john: and the investigation continues. david, thank you. sandra. >> sandra: u.s. officials tell fox they have confirmed a report on the china surveillance program, based in the country's island province. comes as the pentagon says china's defen

you've sent letters working with james comer, but you've sent letters to preserve documents in that regardsent letters to antony blinken about the afghanistan pullout. i want to get your take on what you're going to do about all of this, because what we're learning this morning is that so far congress is being stonewalled. >> well, we have subpoena power. look, we're going to -- can i was a federal prosecutor for many years, i know how to conduct an investigation and a prosecution. that's essentially what we're doing here. you know, we're going to try to get 'em in a cooperative way. if not, we're going to serve subpoenas. on those two issues, i'm very entered in what was going on at the biden center. $30 million in chinese money going in to the university of pennsylvania at the same time the biden center's being stood up. guess who the general managing director was of the biden center? it was now-secretary blinken in charge of the shadow government that was to be incoming with biden had he won, which he kid. i sent a lawyer asking questions about what were in those dock units, what prc of

so now james comer is saying he's going to subpoena hunter biden and perhaps his art dealer, so let'see how tough they are going to be, and if they are going to match the january 6th committee. >> john: not quite sure they have made a final decision on that yet, they say they may have to as a last resort. one of the big questions, inflated prices, who would buy hunter biden's art in the first place. michigan congresswoman lisa mcclain said hunter biden's artwork is not worthy of hanging on the walls of a foreclosed motel. why would anyone buy it? the answer is simple, curry favor with the corrupt son of the president. portrayed by democrats as a witch hunt by hunter biden, but does it not behoove the oversight committee to at least look into it. >> i don't think the paintings are that bad, and maybe there are people who want to buy them for reasons, aesthetic, art world is used in corrupt fashion, it's ridiculous the names are secret. >> john: and james comer said there needs to be transparency here and this is an investigation, after all, of the president, not the president's son. sa

and, chad comer appears to own property in tennessee, with james comer, and he received a very small covid relief program in the end of 2020. so later that year, his chad comer has season tickets to the tennessee -- those research seem to be valued at about $3,000 per quarter of what he got in covid relief funds, right. so it is a fair question to, ask did shames comer's brother really need that money, did he need that $12, 000, that 3000, -- that is what it is getting. at >> okay, but, it wasn't just comb, or all over members of congress, we saw members of congress on both sides of the aisle get money from these covid programs. used to advise the oversight committee, you and i have talked about this. since the money was told, out yes america was in, crisis yes we were on the brink of financial disaster, but these programs have virtually no guardrails. you can just put first name last, name and they will send a check. >> yeah, to be, clear i don't have a problem with looking at how the money was spent, but from -- the job of the committee. the problem, is the credibility of the messe

if you are talking about james comer, he is really focused as his letter stated on friday, he wants to understand when the department was notified. what was the communication mike? many -- communication like? many believe that buttigieg did not respond adequately. host: our guest is farnoush amiri. she covers congress for the associated press. we welcome your calls and questions about the week ahead. the lines (202) 748-8000 for -- (202) 748-8001 for republicans.

joining us now chairman of oversight committee from the great state of kentucky congressman james comer. politics seems from an outsider's view to be pert partisan right now. some things should matter to both parties to everyone like suppress of information and treating people fairly, what did you learn about twitter during your most recent hearing? how would you try to convince independent or left leaning voters that this issue should matter to them. >> too. too. >> we should all care about free speech, and we should care if the government ever gets involved in working to suppress free speech. we 11 that fbi was using twitter to do what fbi could not do that was to suppress speech. we would never know about this if not for elon musk, buying the company and being transparent and leaking out of this out in the twitter files. we need to ensure that this never happens again and hold people accountable. thihad a big impact on presidential election, and huge impact on our investigation of biden family corruption because the laptop contains so much damaging information about the biden family

once we get those bank records, we'll be able to determine if it is a fact. >> james comer,thank you.>> biden's border crisis have now come to new york city. migrants have been living in the nice hotel in new york city but they are refusing to leave the hotel, some are camping out the streets. we'll check in with gianna caldwell, he's on the scene tonight. last call, i am being warned not to expect a good grade tonight. i have no idea what my staffs are up to but i will get to the bottom of it. straight ahead. >>> new york city is filling the full effect of joe biden's border crisis. mayor eric adams announced the illegal immigrants in his city will be relocated to the brooklyn crew terminal. this decision prompted a massive backlash from illegal immigrants who set up tents outside the hotel to protest their move. joe biden is in new york city and touting all of his infrastructure spending. in case you are counting, we have $31 trillion in debt that you are passing to your kids and grand kids. not like many people in washington would care. joe refused to address illegal immigration th

joining me now to discuss, republican congressman, chairman of house oversight committee james comerack, sir. >> great to be back. kennedy: so, you know, the vice president has good intentions, a capital investment in countries that have been decimated by narcoterrorists who now have seized a lot of power. what is to say that billion dollars that is going there will not be co-opted by krcorrupt people. >> that is what it is and it is disappointing this administration continues to spend hard earned tax dollars in foreign countries, we have a border that is broken. we need to secure that border. the goodness with what we spend on border control and our military, in united states, we can secure the border, between the united states and mexico. if we have a secure border, maybe these other country would not have the chaos and fleeing they are having. so, you know it is disappointing to hear the vice president, who remember was appointed border czar by joe biden say things like we need more money to fix the broken border, that is ridiculous, they need to tell us a specific plan on how the

they have to stick in there and suffer and that is not okay. >> and republican representative james comerbowser, is a bold leadership are just common sense? >> common sense. >> anything that ends in increased crime is not good leadership and we have to make sure were doing it so americans do not continue to be victimized by some of the soft on crime policies. that's it for this topic. >> next and the next mayor of east palestine feels ignored by president biden. >> of the biggest slap in the face of it tells you right now he does not care about us. >> bidart responds with another snob. that is coming up, straight ahead i'm not a doctor. i'm not even in a doctor's office. i'm standing on the street, talking to real people about their heart. how's your heart? my heart's pretty good. you sure? i think so. how do you know? you're driving a car? you have the check engine light, but the heart doesn't have a hey, check heart sign. i want to show you something. put both fingers right on those pads. there you go. in 30 seconds, we're going to have a medical grade ekg. -there it is. -that is you. l

. >> harris: look, the chairman of oversight james comer told me a week ago this is exact will i where republicans would start with these two hearings. what came about, do you think, after the questions that were asked in either of them yesterday? >> i'm sure the democrats want to yell partisanship and want to change the story because for the past two years everything they've done has been a mess. not only the covid issue, it is the border issue that we had in the hearing yesterday, the record inflation, the record crime, the record deficit, the record inflation, the record debt. you can go on and on. so i'm sure they want to point to partisanship and try to change the subject. the fact is that those states that mr. comer was highlighting is where the biggest problems are and why you highlight it. facts are facts and stubborn things. it is important we get to all the misinformation. this information that we got from our government regarding covid. i always point out just about everything they told us turned out to be false. they told us it didn't come from a lab. it looks like it did.

for the house oversight committee if they had given access to an inch themselves something that james comer asked about sunday. >> two billion dollar investment in kushner's funds from the saudis we know the president, former president >> last weekend we got new details on jared kushner and the extra president benefited from saudi money since leaving the white house. kushner, who had somebody cozy relationship with prince mohammed l salman and lead the push for his father not to prior to his relationship with the saudis including making the first foreign trip, received two billion dollars from a fund chaired by the crowned prince known as mbs, nice work if you can get. at the ex president also benefited from saudi-backed tournaments at his golf course. and 30 real state companies bid to build a planted on her. seems a great opportunity for the house oversight committee if they had given access to an inch themselves something that james comer was asked about sunday. >> two billion dollar investment in kushner's funds from the saudis we know the president, former president trump has also rece

this is a breakthrough agreemen tonight to have his cooperation with james comer and the house oversight committee. >> when we get to the money we will get to the answer and then we will be able to answer the question, if joe biden himself is compromised with a lot of th countries that are top adversaries. we will see. john solomon, thank you. >>> now we turn to the southern border. the house judiciary committee held a hearing in yuma, arizona to get a firsthand look at just how bad biden's border crisis has become. not a single democrat even bothered to show up. take a look. >> it's a shame that not one democratic member of congress would join us on this trip despite having weeks of advance notice. it's disappointing, but not surprising. the democrats have called this stunned. i would argue it's not a stunts. not our witnesses would call it a stunt. >> has secretary mallorca sever lied to you? >> yes. >> what was the substance of that lie? >> he committed to after reviewing the border from the ground and the air to specifically address, quote/unquote, 9 of 11 yuma gaps . >> how many of

house oversight committee chairman james comer in "focus." first let's begin with our chief national security correspondent jennifer griffin at the pentagon. jennifer. >> the pentagon does not believe there is a second spy balloon flying near u.s. airspace as initially reported by canadian defense officials. according to a senior u.s. defense official the balloon over montana was launched from china. it doesn't believe it was a weather balloon that flew off course despite the chinese blaming a weather event. there was not one that caused the balloon to enter u.s. airspace i'm told. it was intentional a senior u.s. official told me. secretary of state antony blinken has postponed his upcoming trip to china. a state department official told reporters we have noted the prc statement of regret but the presence of this balloon in our airspace is a clear violation of our sovereignty as well as international law and unacceptable this has occurred. the balloon is flying at 60,000 feet which is higher than most u.s. war planes can fly. the u.s. doesn'

chairman james comer calling him a key witness in the investigation. >> john: mike emmanuel, thanks. robert o'brien, former national security adviser to president trump, more on this. robert, great to see you. so, antony blinken was with his chinese counterpart in munich earlier, which he warned ye china should not give weapons to russia and temper growing relations with moscow. then he turns around and he's sitting next to vladimir putin. are the american admonitions falling on deaf ears here? >> yeah, i don't think the chinese think very much of us, they think we are chump, they just flew a balloon over the width and breadth of the united states, stopped to the nuclear silos and then the air force bases and subpins and there was no consequence. i mean, we still have tiktok, we still have the chinese buying farmland next to military bases, we are still importing thousands and thousands of chinese chips, no consequence. ford motor company is about to do a work around on the inflation reduction act and send billions of dollars in taxpayer dollars to china for their batteries. i mean,

house oversight chairman james comer will hold that hearing.er agents to testify. we're expecting congressman andy biggs to introduce articles of impeachment against homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas. that is set to happen sometime this afternoon. he would be the second republican to do so this year, neil. no word yet though on whether or not the gop conference will actually take a vote on it. neil? neil: thank you, ashiah, for that. as we told you at the outset we had a lot of meetings, very little time. we'll get to all of these meetings. chad pergram on that other one has the house oversight committee looking at covid relief and a lot of spending abuses there. chad, what is the latest? >> reporter: neil, the gop says fraudsters ripped off tens of billions of pandemic dollars from the federal government. in fact gop senators rand paul and joni ernst wrote to the inspector general of the small business administration. they asked how much fraud is tied to paycheck protection program? >> there are definitely indication of widespread

james comer says the investigation will include pence but not trump. joining us is mark short.hanks for being here. appreciate it. cnn is hearing that the search of pence's home could be this week. have you heard of a date for the search? could it include pence's thinktank office, as well? >> remind your viewers, it was a couple weeks ago, in light of the things happening at joe biden's house, that he self-disclosed the discovery of some documents that were caught up in the boxes to the national archives. >> better safe than story, see if anything is there. >> absolutely. i'm not acqware of investigatio announced to mike pence. i'm aware of trump and biden. the vice president asked for full compliance. and there's been conversations about a consensual search to be conducted. i presume that's not too far off into the future. i think we have concerns about what we perceive is a double standard and growing one there. >> what's the double standard? >> the process has explained, when you discover documents, you alert the national archives that came immediately. we collect homes and

i've spoken with both chairman jim jordan and james comer about these hearings.en. we've seen them become very political and dive into a lot of politics in the past and on cable media. as these investigations go forward, they want to be seen as serious chairmen. ly say we're already seeing the partisan jokeckeying going back and forth. we've seen them disagreeing on who has responsibility for potential waste and abuse during the pandemic. republicans saying democrats did not do enough while they were in the majority to look at some of the waste and abuse. democrats coming back and saying, well, a lot of that was under the trump administration and the c.a.r.e.s. act. a lot of the back and forth and taking shots at the other side. i know a lot of these members are saying on both sides of the aisle that they want to work together. there's a lot of issues they think they can actually find some sort of progress on. today we're starting to see really that partisan jockeying and not a lot of bipartisan compromise. >> that's a great point. is it just today, because both

i have the utmost confidence in james comer and jim jordan who are the chairs of the oversight judiciary committee respectively to get to the bottom of this. it is time for the omega people to understand what happened here it is time for hunter biden in the entire group to come clean about what was going on. maria: for four years we heard your colleagues on the left talk about russia, russia, russia to come up with a story about trap colluding with russia and the real adversary was front and center, china why is it the democrats refused to do anything about this. >> keep in mind there are no bounds to hypocrisy. when it comes to this issue it looks like democrats, the good news nancy pelosi has finally been fired for the house you have new leadership in the house with kevin mccarthy as our speaker and a new republican majority it is close which is good people will be able to talk you might see democrats to realize this is a losing proposition to act like sheep and get behind the corrupter administration and all the lies that they tell you might see them come off the train and start to sp
