to be something that is discarded and dismissed by most of the country, if in fact that's where jim jordan go toward investigations that don't turn up evidence of wrong doing, the more they will discredit themselves, and we've seen a problem of overreach for parties in the past, and so i think that's certainly a possibility look if you want to look at what is going on here and you just mentioned before, the question of donald trump, and his credibility with the republican party, his strength with the republican party going forward, the biggest weakness for him right now, and you hear it from those who are close to him is the idea that he is a loser. and it is not the republican party abandoned him because of january 6th, it's not because the republican party abandoned him because of anything he did as president of the united states, but if he has that indelible loser on him, you may see him have difficulty in the primary. >> glenn, i cannot help but think when i brought that up again, jim jordan coming after justice, i have something to say about this and actually, "the wall street journal

back with us now, congressman jim jordan. i think the central point about the origins, the most likely source are these experiments that fauci personally pushed through against the rules that were in mace under the obama administration and a didn't setn ofde rules in the trumpan administration. the recklessness of that, he must be held accountable. >> he gave the money to ecohealth. ecohealth wasn't properly vetted. wasn't reporting like they were supposed to. they sent the money to a lab in china. what happens? we get a deadly virus that comee fromar the very city in china where that lab is at. fauci said it didn't come from a lab. t nobodyo believed that. but faucvii still insists that't how it happened. w this on january 31,2020. he gets on this conference call so they can get their stories straight so they can mislead the american people and mislead thel world.ic we know what it did to ourdid liberties, our economy and kids' education. he got an email january 31 fromh dr. christiaatn anderson and it says virus looks engin

he will joins us shortly as will jim jordan. in moments, i'll speak with john kirby at the white house where they're waiting for if arrival of wnba star brittney griner. now shortly on american soil. she was freed from a russian prison in exchange for victor bout. but veteran paul whalen was not freed. here's president biden earlier. >> this was not a choice of which american to bring home. we brought home trevor reed when we had a chance earlier this year. sadly for totally illegitimate reasons, russia is treating paul's case differently than brittney's. we're not giving up. we will never give up. >> martha: john kirby is standing by with more on that. first to paul whalen's brother, david. good to have you with us. i heard you earlier saying that you're happy for brittney griner and the relief that her family must feel. you want this white house to be more aggressive. how do you want them to go about that exactly, sir? >> well, it's really more assertive. i think the u.s. government is a little bit behind the rogue nations tha

thank goodness we have investigators like jim jordan who are focused on this and tha we can learn the truth because the media suppressed the story. >> ari is echoing the comments on congressman james toma who i going to be looking into the hunter biden and joe biden issu and he said, to be clear, this will be an investigation into the president of the united states. he didn't say hunter, he said joe. to get this is about determinin to what extent he enlisted for in cash including from our adversary, china has subsidized and supported the lifestyle of joe biden compromising him as a fundamental matter of national security. this is the most important investigation that will be conducted by the new republican congress. i salute kevin mccarthy for making clear that he will support james coomer and jim jordan with every subpoena they want to issue or every investigation they want to launch and with every contempt citation or criminal referral they want to make that the new republican congress is going. >> to the bottom of this and exposed joe biden's corruption once and for all. >> let's g

host: if jim jordan and jim banks were on this hearing, other people, you would have taken this more seriously? caller: exactly. a lot of people would have taken this more seriously. and another thing, you've got -- saying we need to go into the capital. go into the capital, let's bring people tell them to go through the lines and everything, this guy's in order be found. they are not even questioning him. and my understanding is the sky was good friends with pelosi. you have to look at this stuff and not only that, i see there was a gentleman up on the terrace, a black officer, and i was a former police officer in the way he was acting almost like bring them in. that does not make sense to me. host: there's political facts, there is fact checking, usa today fact checking. usa today has done several investigations into claims that these were not supporters of the former president, that they were people like antifa. there has been no evidence of that according to their investigations, there have been universities that have looked into it as well. have you yourself taken the time to di

in letters to incoming judiciary chair, jim jordan and incoming overnight chair james comber, the whitensel's office writes this, quote, congress has not delegated such oversight authority to individual members of congress who are not committee chairmen. should the committee issue similar or other requests in the 118th congress, we will review and respond to them in good faith. translation, you are not chairmen yet. back to us, when you have a gavel in your hand. republicans already expressed outrage that the biden administration's stern rebuke, but here's the thing. the biden administration is simply operating under precedent set by one donald trump during his standoff with house democrats during the first two years of his administration. so we wonder if this is a preview of the kind of standoffs would he can expect to see over the next two years. to answer that question for us, joining us now is "politico" correspondent who broke the story. heidi, take us through your reporting. >> the white house is really concerned that given the volume of letters and requests that they've already g

jim jordan is investigating if the fbi and the doj beenom politicized. they will join us and tell us about their whistleblower straight ahead. straightvery nice. >> 830 to three hundred. >> and today, 800 today. hi, i'm mike huckabee, former governor of arkansas. >> and i'm here today to tell you about a hidden health crisis currently affecting nearly every american sleep deprivation. and that's why you need to know about relaxium sleep. you see, getting a good night's sleep helps support a healthy immune system, helps maintain a healthy blood pressure, healthy cardiovascular system. thankfully, relaxium sleeps formula is clinically proven to help you fall asleep faster ,stay asleep longer and wake up feeling refreshed. relaxium triple action formula was developed by renowned neurologist and sleep expert dr eric ciliberti. it'll regulate your natural sleep cycle, relax your body and calm the mind for better. sleep through the whole night. call today and get your very own risk free bottle of relaxium sleep relaxium sleep doesn't have any harmful chemicals

all right, jim jordan, thank you. and we'll be looking forward to the hearings come the new year. we appreciate you being with us. now with reaction, we have former senior adviser to president steven miller, along with fox news contributor ari fleischer. ari, i'll start with you. let's get your reaction to china in general and the connection the bidens in terms of all the money that they made just to remind people they have that five million dollar, no interest, forgivable loan. i wish i could get those terms myself. they have the hundred thousand dollar shopping spree and at one point five billion dollar deal with the bank of china. that's a lot of money for the biden family. and is joe compromised? and is their information on the laptop that the fbi's been sitting on that it proves such hunter is implicating his father because it appears there is . and you left out the free ride on air force two that was taken by then vice president biden's son to go do business in china. and get dropped off and seen in the company of the vice president . we don't know all the facts, sean, but i

people insane people even if they don't want to be arrested and of course putting facilities and jim jordan really what happened behind closed doors, with jim cook, evitable and we begin here, and numerology of america's foreign policy, where gone, initially the united states is always different freedom and liberty, civil for those who inspired and denied and abroad and heck even joe biden, promise to stick with that tradition and of a great nation, early in his presidency. biden: diplomacy is back. you are the center of all that i intend to do, integrity and all that you do, standing up for democracy and human rights around the world c1 was silly good right, instead of engaging encouraging the people in need, encouraging our enemies at the helm in venezuela for example, nation proven to be the best in creating refugees and repression we've used oil thank you so an allowed chevron to drill as he going to the people struggling under the horrible regime, that we are not with a people, we are with the prophets and iran, a ruthless country that would i kill everyone of his citizens and give the

here to weigh in meg of jim jordan. soon to be chairman of the fiduciary committee. ds on the scale here? >> even last weekend i guess he is still looking at the emails that are going to taibbi and that are going out to the public. so talk about the fox watching the hen house here. i mean, come on. so, remember, this guy was of the chief counsel at the fbi 2016-2017 when they were spying on president trump's campaign and president trump. and then, of course, he goes to twitter. and he is the counsel who is making the decision oh, it's reasonable to assume that the hunter biden story just days before the most important election we have it's reasonable-to-a assume he said, that that's a hack and leak operation from the lution russians. and which we knew wasn't. and then, of course now he is doing this over last week and of course he was fired yesterday. so, i just -- this just shows big tech, big media, big government working together to keep information from we, the people. that's the problem. what i'm committed to doing, what the members of the republican members on t

i can't stand jim jordan kicking and screaming and carrying on like he did in the house. the other thing i want to say real quickly is that this was a thing where these were all republicans. it wasn't democrats downing republicans. it was all republican witnesses letting you know what was going on. thank you. host: robert, illinois, on the oppose line. go ahead. caller: it's a dog and pony show. half of them people of their trying to impeach a president over a made up democratic story. eyes see government spending money to fight the government and people keep paying for it. the only person killed was a veteran, shot by an incompetent cop. i'm baffled how the gall of these people, sitting there when there is so much wrong in this country. burnt down cities. black lives matter. they are not terrorists? white privilege? i'm white, i'm not a criminal. i don't burn cities down. i'm scratching my head going these people are sick. what's sad is half the republicans are that way, too. it's all about the money. how much can we scam the american people before they squeal. host: one

jim jordan, who is now being referred on ethics charges because he ignored subpoenas. wanted to have on the january 6th committee. >> yeah, this entire thing, and jean's right here, it is, in part, thanks to kevin mccarthy and his political brilliance of deciding not to seat members of his own choosing. let's be clear, i've been a part of a lot of investigations and oversight inquiries. this is the most nonpartisan investigation in the united states congress history, when you consider that we have republican members, a unanimous vote to move this referral outside of the committee. you could have that most of the witnesses or all republicans. let me just say, i'm one of those guys rooting for kevin mccarthy to be speaker of the house, keep going, kevin. it's working out great. >> adam kinzinger and jimmy raskin have probably never voted for the same thing in their entire congressional careers. they agreed on this. eugene robinson, hugo, kurt, that's tonight's the reidout. stay right there, after a really quick break, i'll be joining rachel maddow, alex wagner, and ari m

jim jordan was talking to brian about the connection of this man who left the fbi about five years ago. >> after an investigation leaked to the press, remember? >> there was suggestion of that being a big problem with him. here is what's going on with him now according to jim jordan. >> come on, so remember this guy was the chief council of the fbi in 2016 and 2017 when they were spying on president trump's campaign and president trump and he goes to twitter and he's the council who's making the decision oh it is reasonable to assume that the hunter biden story just days before the most important election we had, it is a hack and lead operations from the russians which we knew was not. big tech and big media working together to keep information from, we, the people. getting into the fbi roles and all this and those weekly briefings they were doing with big tech that said it was a russia disinformation operation, baloney. they knew it was baloney. >> as if you found out james comey was working for twitter. he's been with struck and paige and he's been with michael susman and now he's in

>> you know, you mentioned representative jim jordan and he -- representative comer and mcrogers also have legislation that can help begin to help the stem the styed of government coerce in social media forms. they have a bill that would make it illegal for the federal government to engage in political pressuring. we are not just talking about federal employees but goes all the way to the white house. that's the first step, get government out of business and the second thing is to figure out how much internal decisions and how much was pressure by the government because that's where the concern comes. musk is turning it around and there's light at the end of the tunnel. maria: carl, great to get your insight, carl, next hour of mornings with maria begins right now. and good monday morning, thanks very much for joining us this morning. i'm maria bartiromo and it is monday december 12th, potential incoming house speaker kevin mccarthy promising to subpoena the 51 former intelligence agents who swore up and down that hunter biden's laptop and testified on it was russian disinformation. >

congressman jim jordan, thank you. also tonight, we have developing information, a former scientist at ecohealth alliance is coming forward to blow the whistle on massive failings inside the organization and inside the nih because in an explosive new book, dr. andrew huff reveals major security failures surrounding gain of function research at wuhan virology lab is bolstering the theory and it was the ecohealth alliance and received your taxpayer money through the former grants from nih to conduct gain of function research at wuhan lab, something that fauci appeared to lie about under oath when asked by senator rand paul. take a look. >> the facts were clear the nih did fund gain of function research in wuhan despite your protest stations. will you take responsibility for funding research in wuhan today? >> senator, with all due r i disagree with -- i disagree with so many things you said and first of all gain of function is a nebulous term. we have spent, not user but outside bodies, a considerable amount of effort to

four members referred to house ethics for defying subpoena, kevin mccarthy, and congressman jim jordan, also andy biggs of arizona, and scott perry of pennsylvania. so these four men, for defying the subpoena from the committee, joyce, there is only a couple of weeks left for the ethics committee to consider this. what's your expectation? >> so i think we have to be realistic here, that this something that the committee n expects to see action on. it's interesting, since we expected that in the next congress, we will see sort of the inverse of this, with republicans trying to investigate things connected with the biden administration, and perhaps we will see on democrats set a standard that suggests that people should comply with lawful subpoenas. even when they see seem to be in some ways difficult to comply with or designed maybe not to get to the heart of important governmental and legislative matters. something that is interesting here, katy, is the fifth congressman, the one who is missing, that's alabama's mo brooks. he will not be returning to the next congress. and although tha

and the case of jim jordan. who's going to most likely be the chairman of the judiciary committee.ere of jim jordan himself, which i'm sure is gonna come up throughout the entire saka, nicolle, that will see overplay in the next two years. of ginger terms of not responding, fighting the subpoena in the case of january six committee. >> and what is that, other than the withdrawal from afghanistan, what are they looking for that -- if there is one? >> nicolle, i have to be a delineation for the white house between what are legitimate oversight requests when it comes to, withdrawal from afghanistan. the situation at the border. i know the chairman for instance, of the oversight committee says they want to get back to the roots of investigating waste fraud and abuse when it comes to covid funding. there's members on the committee, like marjorie taylor greene, are saying no, we're gonna force mccarthy and comer to go back and re-litigate, and investigate the investigators for instance with the january six committee. given the leadership that's going on right now, and the demands on mcca

here now with much more, ranking member of the house judiciary committee, ohio congressman jim jordan. your investigation is into whether or not the fbi has been politicized and whether or not the department of justice is weaponized. we have the twitter files where elon musk clearly said a week ago saturday that the election interference attack took place by the suppression of information on twitter. i agree with him. he talked about how the media is come police it. and how twitt t t t ter became propaganda arm of the democratic party. if you put it together with what we know about hunter bide b and the lap top. look at the buresma deal. you have a prosecutor, gets fired. son of a b, they do it. and turns out, the prosecutors are investigating the son with no experience being paid millions. what do you call that? >> yeah, right. pressure or sfwim dagues. -- intimidation. never forget, sean, jim comey went to new york to pressure about president trump, the dossier he knew was baloney. it was false. now we get the intimidation that mr. turley and you were talking about coupled with what

what jim jordan said about our ability to trust the u.s. government on this. >> they were going to form a disinformation governance board when in fact the biggest purveyor of disinformation was the federal government. you can't stop this behavior, can't get the politics out of the justice department if you don't first expose what they did. >> john: you have the government telling the social media companies don't go there, and then what they were blocking turns out to be true. >> it happened, so much easier, if i wanted to get to a certain voter i have to buy time on fox sports because i want the world cup viewer, and if that was -- if i was an outside source, the chinese government, i would know about it. so there would be a way to report. but this whole world we are in by social media and the force it has, it's gaining power by the day, we have not taken the time to say wait a second, what of a nation understands our politics and it's going to start pushing certain things to ignite a certain voter. what are we going to do about it? at leas

set of revelations today, jason >> what do you find so because of the work of five republicans, jim jordan, troy nel's, jim banks, rodney davis and kelly armstrong, they went out and got the contemporaneous text messages and emails that were going between pelosi's staffth and the security staff in the capitol police. and they put the lie to something that nancy pelosi said when she looked intofebrua the cameras on februarryy 20 , 21 and said, i couldn't have influence the security. i have no power over the capitol police. these emails and these text messages showed just the opposite. nancy pelosi and her staff were directly involved in meeting with capitol police and the security planners in the houseer . sergeant at arms goingltiple back to early december, multiple meetings, most times cutting out the republican colleagues from any of they werledgblican ce that they. the staff of pelosi was so involved they actually were editing some of the plans on january 4th and january 5th. they wer5te directly involved, which means the opportunity to prevent this attack wasn't just a failure of the c

jim jordan also potentially in a leadership role has refused to do so.hat consequences do you think there should be? should there be criminal referrals? i don't even know if you can do that. can you? >> no. that's not our intent. what we wanted to lay out to the american public is those individuals, jim jordan and kevin mccarthy are fact witnesses to the events that happened. they talked to the president multiple times on that day. there's information they can share. there's information they shared on national tv and to their own colleagues in that moment. the fact that they don't want to share it to us so we can put together a fulsome report just shows they aren't unbiased and so that's why there's a little smirk when you asked me about kevin mccarthy and january 6th. he's someone who hasn't been completely honest about what he knows and what happened that day. >> congressman, congratulations on the historic achievement. i know you said it means a lot for your family and for people back home. and i do want to acknowledge being the first is a big deal. >

bring out ohio republican counsel jim jordan.gressman, the front page of the new york post this morning said it all, inside job, democratic lawyers secretly blocked the release of internal twitter files. i mean, you can't make this stuff up, and all of this is going to land in your lap on january 3rd. how will it all unfold? >> we'll see, i'm very concerned about the government influencing big tech, and keeping information from we the people. it's important to fully understand jim baker's history. he's the chief counsel of the fbi when the fbi spies on president trump's campaign in 2016, the guy who accepted information, the information from michael sussmann who's lawyer for the clinton campaign, took that information, used it as part of their investigation and then goes to twitter and he's the guy who helps suppress the hunter biden story and says oh, it's reasonable to assume the hunter biden laptop was a hack and leak operation when everyone knew it went, and oh by the way, he's the guy filtering, he's still involved in it the

>> dana: hillary vaughn was asking the good questions and jim jordan is set to chair the judiciary committee. let's go to hillary vaughn on fox business live on capitol hill. you didn't get any answers yesterday. >> no, i did not, dana. but apple really is not the only company that has come under scrutiny for their coziness with china. tiktok now has as well because new reports that china is using tiktok to push videos attacking u.s. politicians and forbes reports that these tiktok accounts are being run by the propaganda arm of the chinese government. they have gained millions of followers and tens of millions of views. china is getting what they want, a captive audience to push videos that attack u.s. politicians to drive divisiveness without clearly disclosing the people pushing the videos are affiliated with the chinese government. tiktok says they're working on a policy to fix this problem but say it is not an issue unique to their platform, similar content posted to youtube and facebook. they said we plan to introduce our state controlled media policy as part of our continued focus on

joining us house judiciary ranking member congressman jim jordan.an, it's a pleasure to see you again, thanks for coming on. >> good to be with you, you bet , thank you. liz: what exactly will house republicans do about this? what are you going to do? voters have been worried about all this. the key period going to hold people to account but that never seems to happen. >> well step one in holding people accountable and stopping this behavior in the future -- liz: but that feels meaningless. >> i can't, you know, liz, i can't prosecute anyone. only the justice department can but if you highlight what they've done, you have a better chance of stopping it and so that's our constitutional duty in the legislative branch and we're going to focus on that, so yeah. here is one question i have. thistle advice chan, a guy working at the fbi doing these weekly briefings in the run-up to the 2020 election, i want to talk to him and ask him, did you talk to jim baker? you're out there in san francisco and northern california. did you have meetings with jim baker

. >> sandra: we are getting some reaction from some lawmakers in the ethics referral, jim jordan, saying it's another partisan and political stunt made by a select committee that knowingly altered evidence, blocked minority representation on the committee the first time on the house of representatives and failed to respond to mr. jordan's numerous letters and concerns surrounding the politization and legitimacy of the committee's work. your response, jonathan turley. >> well, i think that that's sort of baked in, right. this -- the needle has not moved despite this focus of the j-six committee, the highly produced videos, the repetition, the reading from these prompters, the producer they brought in. it really is singing to the choir, and so you are not going to have much of a change here on how people view this. polls have indicated that the public views this as a riot, as an insurrection, but does not mean they don't condemn the people responsible, including president trump. that many people feel act the recklessly and many of us criticized the trump speech while it was being given. bu

congressman jim jordan republican from the great state of ohio.ongressman, this could be one of those rare moments when you are in agreement with aoc, because she says those donations should be returned. you agree with her, don't you? >> well, i mean, look, i leave that up to individual candidates what we do know is what you pointed out. this was a huge scam. i mean, for goodness sake, but i think the interesting thing is what was just raised is that he was set to testify. now it was going to be via zoom but he was set to testify and republicans would have all kinds of i think important questions, good questions. questions that the american people want answers to, and for some reason, after letting him hang out in the bahamas for weeks he gets arrested the day before he's set to testify. now normally prosecutors want to see what someone says in a public hearing like that when they are under oath, but no, no, no, so i find that kind of curious, kind of interesting, but yeah, this is just a good old fashion scam and he needs to be held accountable f

jim jordan is revealed to be leading other members of congress. ted cruz was leading the senate. when we asked his office about, this jim jordan was like oh, i was just forwarding on a message from someone else, which is a strategy lot of members of congress used to repress messages. which you're seeing there, whoever ritually wrote it, the strategy for overturning the will of the people. one thing that is perhaps even more alarming in these members of congress, is receipts -- he's corresponding directly with mark meadows. in the breach, which is a book i cowrote -- wheedle vin to a lot of these side characters, these more extreme people, like -- who were directly having the year of the white house, working with folks like sydney powell and pushing these really extreme conspiracies. in the text, you start to see folks like powell were also working directly with members of congress. >> i want to get this one in. it's just stunning. it's realtime conversation that is happening from two separate sites. the text message exchanges that were happening between now infamous phone call wi

mangel, congressman james comey and jim jordan are sending a letter to the hhs secretary basara launching an investigation into its origins now, while demanding that the individuals you see on the screen right now appear before the oversight committee, they are identified in the letter as the p three ceo. >> according to congressman comey in jordan, these individuals have never been publicly identified other than dr. hassel, but they work to approve taxpayer for gain of function research. remember the ico health alliance? now, this move will surely send shockwaves through the nih, hhs and the biden administration. will anyone in the media actually cover? we will . joining us exclusively, incoming chair of the house oversight committee, james comey, and oversight committee member jim jordan. congressman, let's start with you. why have these names been hidden until now? and what were their actual roles in approving the money that ultimately went to gain a function? >> well, no one in the congress has been serious about determining the rejection of covid. no one tailed this dr. fauci adminis

then, there was a committee who put witnesses to this on the committee like jim jordan. you can't put these two witnesses on, but these for you can put on. he went through everybody. why does he do this? he is defending the same folks who are yelling, hang mike pence. >> it is absolutely ridiculous and honestly it is offensive to all the people that i worked with and the trump white house who came forward and testify. these are true republicans who are all in on the administration for the most part who are up there, testifying truthfully and also, liz cheney, come on, that is partisan? she is as conservative as mike pence. they're on the same level of that and so i think once again, even though donald trump sent an entire moffitt is direction and put him at great risk by the lies that he was peddling, he is still defending him and it is infuriating for me to watch this because as someone who worked for him, got to know him on a personal level and i actually believed in him and belief that he was actually a good person at heart. and he really cares about this country. i t

think on the new free twitter and let's bring in incoming chair of the house judiciary committee jim jordana moment to have you as our guest so with this shadowy group what will be do about that? the whole purpose shifted which is foreign disinformation. >> this collision is bigger with big government big tech camp take media from we the people and now the's ngos whatever this organization is it is all designed to run misinformation operation those that say that hunter biden has all these earmarks of a class aggression misinformation operation that was run by our government with big media and big tech to keep information from us from the american people and they did it just days and weeks before the most important election we have for president of the united states. you are right a government is the primary culprit but the last one is right on target. that on —- they violated first amendment free-speech and they need to be held accountable. we are committed to doing that to go up as high as we have to this is what we will do. >> talk about the fbi that's in your purview but i want to read f

jim jordan, andy biggs and kevin mccarthy, they were all asked for subpoenaed to come to congress to the january 6 committee to make their case. they chose not to do so. i had a friend i thought was innocent about something, i would be sure to go and testify and defend him. they had a chance to do it and they would not do it. so, i just do not understand what the gripe is. they had their chance, but they blew it. thank you. guest: that does seem like a common sense inference to be drawn from the fact those members of congress refused to show up. it is a common sense inference to me from the fact the former president did not show up. it is not merely that, though that is important enough, as the caller points out. there was an attempt to kill any inquiry into these events. that attempt came from those who were supporters of the former president. what should we think about an attempt to kill an inquiry into what occurred? what should one infer about an attempt to prevent the facts from being disclosed? most people will draw an inference from that. so, i tend to agree with the caller. h

i can't stand jim jordan kicking and screaming and carrying on like he did in the house.he other thing i want to say real quickly is that this was a thing where these were all republicans. it wasn't democrats downing republicans. it was all republican witnesses letting you know what was going on. thank you. host: robert, illinois, on the oppose line. go ahead. caller: it's a dog and pony show. half of them people of their trying to impeach a president over a made up democratic story. eyes see government spending money to fight the government and people keep paying for it. the only person killed was a veteran, shot by an incompetent cop. i'm baffled how the gall of these people, sitting there when there is so much wrong in this country. burnt down cities. black lives matter. they are not terrorists? white privilege? i'm white, i'm not a criminal. i don't burn cities down. i'm scratching my head going these people are sick. what's sad is half the republicans are that way, too. it's all about the money. how much can we scam the american people before they squeal. host: one o

. >> dana: jim jordan saying it confirms what we already know. >> this just shows big tech, big media, big government working together to keep information from we the people. that's the problem. what i'm committed to doing and members on the judiciary committee are committed to do is get into the f.b.i.'s role in all this. >> dana: hillary vaughn has more from capitol hill. good morning, hillary. >> good morning. as it turns out some of these twitter files were tainted by jim baker formerly with the f.b.i. secretly screening the documents beforehanding them over to reporters. elon musk tweeted in light of concerns about baker's possible role in suppression of information important to the public dialogue, he was exited from twitter today. musk says he did ask for an explanation but his explanation was unconvincing. republicans are expecting an explanation from baker, too. they want him to come to capitol hill and testify. >> baker is one of the most high profile twitter employee we want to hear. before coming to the oversight committee in january or february as quick as we can get them

jim jordan running house judiciary. a wonderful change. be able to compel members of the fbi to testify. we will be able to compel members of the big tech community to testify. we'll be able to subpoena them, things we have not been able to do. big tech run around this nation and did whatever they pleased without any oversight from congress. another thing that i'm very much looking forward to and seeing house republicans do the job that the mainstream media has failed to do for the last four to six years. they have refused to hold big tech accountable. they refused to talk about the hunter biden laptop and unfortunately, we have come to the point where house republicans are now having to do the job of the mainstream media come january and hold these groups accountable. hold the fbi account being and do what our press should have been doing all along. we are supposed to have a free press in this country and they have been co-opted by big tech, by the mainstream media, by the far left, and the fbi has been in bed from day one. quake. >> kati

and clearly want to look at censorship, whether it's jim jordan -- >> sandra: does it go anywhere? >> it might, and some things are moving in congress. elon musk pointing out the 30% fee apple charges, amazon self-preferences, and there are bipartisan bills that have tried to solve the issue, republicans will look at this in the next congress, jim jordan is a very good investigator. >> sandra: apparently not just republicans. ro khanna said this this morning. listen. >> it's not just that they are taking down speech that is hate and elon musk has said he wants to take that down, it's that they are censoring based on viewpoint and that's simply not what we do in this country. >> sandra: that's a democrat that has serious questions. hopefully all americans have big questions about what went down. >> ro khanna said that back in 2020 about the censorship of the hunter biden laptop, bad for speech and politically for the democrats, but his district is right in the heart of silicon valley. i'll point this out. jonathan turley wrote in the new york post, the legal ramifications will conti

you take somebody like jim jordan who will be running the judiciary committee, the same guy who gave a hand to liz cheney to help her on january 6th, she knocked it away and said get away from me, you're responsible for this. there are several other people that were responsible for what happened on january 6th that promoted what happened on january 6th that not only have defied congressional subpoenas but, as you point out, are actually some of the members that are going to be running the republican house of representatives. here we have, if you think the people that were responsible for the insurrection of january 6th are enemies of the united states constitution, those are the very deep that are going to be running the house of representatives. where does that put us? >> i mean, it's the craziest thing, joe. like we'll say again, this is a symbolic measure on the part of the committee, but even as a symbolic measure, the notion that sitting members of the house who defied subpoenas issued by this committee who were active in some cases or passive participants in the insurrection, o

republicans are calling on top twitter executives to testify and jim jordan thinks that what happenedped president biden to get elected. >> gig government, big media, colluding to keep valuable information from we the people. the consequences are that joe biden became president and we have 41-year high inflation, a border that's no longer a border, rampant crime, what we see with this biden administration, and america is no longer treating americans equally under the law. >> the white house still staying tightlipped about the revelations. >> did anyone from the biden team communicate to twitter that this material was -- that this reporting stemmed from hacked materials. >> i can't speak to decisions made by the campaign from here. that is not -- that's a political campaign. what i can say more broadly is, of course, it's up to these companies to make their own decisions about the content on their platforms, to ensure content follows their own standards and policies. >> i was a little surprised, jesse, to find out that james baker actually still worked for twitter, given that elon musk

florida congressman matt gates tweeting over the christmas is for jim jordan to realize he should be ouse. do you think he should throw his name in the ring and go up against kevin mccarthy. >> i talked to jim about it. he's pretty tight, when you go out to eat dinner, he owes me for a dinner over at capitol hill club. besides that, he is an honorable guy. he understands his role in the judiciary that he can cause a lot more change in what he's getting red i do do in these hearings. i believe his commitment to kevin mccarthy is just that, it is a complete 100% commitment and if it falls down -- if something happens and -- i don't know. that's two or three times down the ballot. i believe right now that kevin is the right person for it and jim jordan is going of to be ad send on the judiciary, so much uncovering of horrible things that the democrats have -- illegal things and some of our alphabet agency as well. cheryl: i will say, i do want to adhere that congressional correspondent c c chad pergram reported that mccarthy might be five votes shy. good to see y you, sir. >> thank you f
