i think that's i think that's probably right approach. >> our stonewall out on >> our stonewall dining because their old reputation because they a lot of good for they did do a lot of good for gay rights. >> yeah, absolutely. but i mean, they're in freefall in of they're in freefall in terms of being taken seriously. the reality stonewall reality is that stonewall achieved marriage primarily achieved gay marriage primarily through discussion , primarily through discussion, primarily through discussion, primarily through having a debate. yes. that all changed in 2015 with the adoption of extreme gender ideology and no debate . this is ideology and no debate. this is a different beast to what it was i >> -- >> yes. so what can we do about this? how can we raise awareness of it? because a lot of people just don't believe it's happening. a lot of people haven't read the cass review. a lot don't understand lot of people don't understand the on people, the implications on gay people, and don't that and they don't understand that when you promote gender identity, this way, identity, ideology

i spent the next four years of my life writing a biography of stonewall jackson. i may be pigeonholed in someone's mind but not commercially. the books that followed, the books about football and another book about the war, a different part about the war and airships. i do not feel like i have been pigeonholed at all commercially. host: that biography, "rebel yell" , focus on that last bit, the redemption of stonewall jackson. what do you mean by that? s.c. gwynne: he operates on several levels, he is a complete failure in life. he really is, he is a professor, the worst professor anybody has ever seen and the kids make fun of him and he is -- he is not a success at all. in a sense, he redeems himself from his own failure. there is a sense of the religious sense he was intensely religious who believed that all of his success came from god and from nowhere else. he deserved none of the credit for what he did. i think he was himself redeemed in the eyes of god, i'm not saying you have to agree with him, robert e. lee was also deeply religious. finally, there is a pe

american people get the transparency and accountability yet the biden administration has been stonewalling our investigations. the department of justice has refused to allow two attorneys to testify. the white house and sent a letter they have no intention of going with interviews without a formal vote. national archive withheld thousands of pages of documents and emails. the house will have to defend our lawful investigations in court. and passing this resolution will put us in the best position possible. as we have said numerous times before voting in favor of a impeachment inquiry does not equal impeachment. we will continue to follow the facts. if they uncover treason, bribery or other high driems and misdemeanor only then will they be considered. no one in this country is above the law and that includes president joe biden and i turn it over to our leader. mr. scalise: we will be wrapping up a very buysy year at the end of this week. we have a number of important votes. the impeachment inquiry vote, the ndaa will be voted on thursday. if you think about where we started this year, up-

this will hopefully stop the stonewalling, correct? >> it will stop the stonewalling but one thing to keep in mind, that i think is key for everyone to understand in this story, about this next vote that the speaker is talked, it was the white house itself that sent the letter to the committee, and the letter said that they will not comply with witnesses -- witness and document requests, without the formal vote. so the white house itself is telling speaker johnson and jim jordan and everyone else, we won't comply with your request unless you take the formal vote. so they are asking for it. and they are going to get it. and to your point, i mean, there are so many twists and turns in this story, we've talked ad nauseam about these payments. if it was a loan obviously it's a problem because you're getting money that you shouldn't get. if it wasn't a loan, then you didn't pay taxes on the money you got. so it's one or the other. and they haven't answered the question. i'll leave you with one more thing before you turn it over to the real

bull run remembers stonewalled brigade overruns, his battery almost dies. so are they going to come across the upper bridge? why? because it's not defended. mcleod lane knows that lee does not have troops over the upper bridge. why he doesn't have men to defend the upper bridge. and so that's where he's going to send him across. and this is a period photograph and. this is a current photograph. and it's interesting. i don't know how many of you actually have seen the upper neat place. you can actually drive over it. it's still intact. it's still carrying cars and, people. this would be from the union side marching over. they're going to they're going to cross on the 16th, the day before battle at about 2:00 in the afternoon. and it's undefended. but they're not only that bridge. that's why i changed it to just below upper bridge is price for it. and you will have a double day's division splashing across price for it while the other two divisions are going to cross at the upper bridge. now, does lee know this is happening? yeah, he's got cavalry there. he's

the republicans say the white house is stonewalling their inquiry. again, not true. the white house has provided over 35,000 pages of financial records, dozens of hours of testimony and interviews. hunter biden is here to testify today and republicans won't let him because they want to do it in secret so they can cherry pick and distort his testimony. this whole inquiry has nothing to do with the integrity of president biden and everything to do with the lack of integrity in the republican party. no amount of evidence could convince republicans that joe biden did nothing wrong because they aren't looking for the truth. they're looking for revenge. and i would just say directly to the american people, mr. speaker, that the republican party works for donald trump, not for you, for trump. that's why they are pursuing this extreme political stunt. that's why they're doing everything in secret. they want to hide the truth from you because they know their whole impeachment inquiry is a sham and will evaporate into thin air when people realize what a pathetic joke it is. th

the gentleman talked about stonewalling, i want to read him a quote.nally, allegations of obstruction ignore historic questions of privilege, ongoing litigation on the matter and the fact that many executive branch witnesses testified. democrats created an environment that made testifying untenable. the american people will have the opportunities to decide in november 2020. we should let them. " i suspect the gentleman recognizes that quote. those are his words when he voted against impeachment against president trump in 2019 so let's not pretend that this is not anything but the farce that it is. i understand the gentleman's position regarding president biden but the notion that this has any semblance of credibility or legitimacy is belied by the facts. and while i would hope that my colleagues would apply some coherent consistency with respect to their views on impeachment -- i'm not expecting that but one thing that i century don't believe the american people can countenance is the notion that somehow this process is a fair one or a transparent one

china's assertive stonewalling.ims that the entire cd, 90% of the south china sea belongs to beijing, but they have no legally based evidence. in fact, their manufactured evidence, a map from the 1920s and so on, all of that has been ruled out by the un law of the sea tribunal that took a look at the claims and rejected beijing's assertion. now, this problem isn't going to be solved anytime soon, but china is a vacuum and will readily feel it if countries like japan and the united states are australia didn't assist the countries of southeast asia to protect their own rights and equities. now, you are correct that china has at least two icn governments, leaders more or less in their pocket and that has allowed them to block some consensus within this, the fact is that as we saw just this week within this, the fact is that as we sawjust this week in the summit with japan, all those countries where willing to commit to cooperation to enhance security and to try to support international law, and that means resisting chi

they are stonewalling at every turn.ix appropriation bills have been passed by the congress, so i do not understand why there are saying there is nothing getting done there. and there were no wars and a good economy under president trump. the democrats that call in today are very ignorant. they say all the christians -- as soon as they have right activity, that is when we decide people are dead. nobody wants to believe the polls about president biden, but they want to believe the polls about people liking abortion and all that stuff. get serious and stop being so partial. thank you for correcting the ignorant democrats that call in. host: here, the new york times with a story back from september, when then speaker kevin mccarthy authorized the committees to move forward but did not hold a forma vote on the house floor. as justification, he pointed to the actions of former speaker nancy pelosi, who announced a formal impeachment inquiry into then president donald trump in 2019 five weeks before the house voted to authoriz

>> if it were the case that the biden administration was completely stonewalling and that president bidend i will defy all subpoenas and that the biden administration has turned over no documents and provided no witnesses, then, yes, the same logic would apply. but, of course, that is not the case. the white house and the administration has been unbelievably cooperative with a fishing expedition of an investigation. they have given essentially the republicans every single thing they have asked for. you don't have to take my word for it. james comer said it several months ago when he said he had 100% cooperation from the administration. this is an investigation in search of facts. there are allegations that are completely unfounded, and every single time a republican is asked to point to specific direct evidence linking joe biden to any misconduct they are unable to. it does not exist. their own witnesses said that at the original and only public impeachment hearing. so they are just trying to desperately find some rationale to go forward with it. but there is none. >> a lot of the concern

there's no stonewalling here. it's a fictional fig leaf to tree to coerce the party to start an impeachment inquiry. >> so, do you have any doubt they ultimately will try to impeach the president? otherwise, what is their off-ramp in this investigation? they've appeared so much on cable outlets trumping this thing up. how do they get out of it? >> i don't know how they get out of it. they should never have gotten into it. normally, you do an investigation, as we did in the first impeachment, where we had 17 fact witnesses who are came in. and then you had public hearings with fact witnesses. in this case, they have reached their conclusions, and now they're trying to back fill the facts thachlt had one public hearing that was a complete disaster, where the witnesses said that joe biden should not be impeached based on what they've seen. they have not had another public hearing now, and they don't want another public hearing. hunter biden is prepared to come in and testify publicly, under oath, before all of the am

it would be incredibly frustrating if this is a move by the doj to stonewall congress trying to get theican people. in the end of the day, the american people deserve to know the answer about the business dealings of the biden administration but really it's whether or not the president was trading favors in the benefit of the family business dealings. arguing these are standard loans between family members many i don't think there's a lot of american families out there that have family members making thousands and thousands of dollars from foreign businesses where they don't have expertise in that are then simply turning around and loaning the money to other family members. sounds suspect. i think the american people deserve the right to know. maria: also suspect is the fact that james comer told me the initial $5 million that first came from china is also being called a loan. so i mean, who borrows $5 million from china, a loan from china, really? the house rules committee meanwhile is considering a resolution to formalize the impeachment inquiry into joe biden next tuesday. this 14 pa

. >> we have seen this white house continue to block and stonewall subpoenas that we have had.ss to come forward. documents that we have requested. by having this official impeachment inquiry vote we are able to use additional tools to get this information. there's a lot of information that we need to get their folks at the department of justice, the fbi, the irs that needs to come forward and answer question this documents and tax records that we need to be looking at. >> as house ways and means committee chair jason smith today on "sunday morning futures" with maria on the house of formalizing the impeachment inquiry against president biden over allegations of influence peddling. for more on that inquiry and what it means for the president let's bring in arkansas a republican congressman. congressman, the biden campaign the reelection campaign reports they are actually raising money, more money since this impeachment inquiry was formalized. annual review does that mean a poteyoupotentially could backfin republicans? >> jon, it's good to be with you i thinkthink chairman smith

now we are being stonewalled by the white house, because they are preventing at least two to three dojitnesses coming forward. the national archives, the white house has withheld thousands of pages of evidence. a formal impeachment inquiry vote on the floor will allow us to take it to the next step. host: speaker mike don's and get that is from fox and friends saturday. on sunday, the chairman of one of the committees leading the probe into joe biden and the biden family so far is james comer, the kentucky republican. he was speaking on fox news, also asked about a formal impeachment vote.
