VAN SUSTEREN And soon ░░░░░░░░ be one of the ░░░░░░░░ influential members of Congress ░░░░░░░░ when he takes over ░░░░░░░░ chairmanship of the House ░░░░░░░░ Committee Kentucky Republican congressman ░░░░░░░░ Comer joins me Good ░░░░░░░░ sir Comer Good evening ░░░░░░░░ SUSTEREN Let me start ░░░░░░░░ with Title 42 The ░░░░░░░░ justice has put a ░░░░░░░░ stay on it this ░░░░░░░░ the court of appeals ░░░░░░░░ that it could be ░░░░░░░░ and the trial court ░░░░░░░░ it could be lifted ░░░░░░░░ well What is Congress ░░░░░░░░ to ever do anything ░░░░░░░░ immigration Comer This is ░░░░░░░░ number one priority as ░░░░░░░░ Republican majority This is ░░░░░░░░ biggest crisis in America ░░░░░░░░ now The migrants continue ░░░░░░░░ pour across the border ░░░░░░░░ is costing the taxpayers ░░░░░░░░ of millions of dollars ░░░░░░░░ you look at the ░░░░░░░░ cost the public education ░░░░░░░░ the Medicaid cost I ░░░░░░░░ it just goes on ░░░░░░░░ on and on not ░░░░░░░░ mention the crime and ░░░░░░░░ the fentanyl and all ░░░░░░░░ We can t continue ░░░░░░░░ sustain this The open ░░░░░░░░ policy by the Biden ░░░░░░░░ has to stop And ░░░░░░░░ we re giving away ░░░░░░░░ of the biggest tools ░░░░░░░░ have right now to ░░░░░░░░ this administration accountable that ░░░░░░░░ the power of the ░░░░░░░░ If the Senate goes ░░░░░░░░ with this omnibus bill ░░░░░░░░ ties our hands for ░░░░░░░░ next 12 months where ░░░░░░░░ can t cut their ░░░░░░░░ then shame on the ░░░░░░░░ This is one of ░░░░░░░░ things that we can ░░░░░░░░ in January to try ░░░░░░░░ get the administration to ░░░░░░░░ the border and that ░░░░░░░░ to cut off their ░░░░░░░░ But yet we ve ░░░░░░░░ senators right now negotiating ░░░░░░░░ yearlong omnibus spending package ░░░░░░░░ s very disappointing VAN ░░░░░░░░ All right let me ░░░░░░░░ now to Twitter It ░░░░░░░░ like this latest file ░░░░░░░░ number seven it looks ░░░░░░░░ to what s been ░░░░░░░░ is that Twitter and ░░░░░░░░ FBI were lockstep working ░░░░░░░░ it says We presented ░░░░░░░░ showing an organized effort ░░░░░░░░ representatives of the intelligence ░░░░░░░░ and a senior executive ░░░░░░░░ news and social media ░░░░░░░░ to discredit leaked information ░░░░░░░░ Hunter Biden before and ░░░░░░░░ it was published That ░░░░░░░░ one of the pieces ░░░░░░░░ information Do you intend ░░░░░░░░ look into what s ░░░░░░░░ on between this relationship ░░░░░░░░ the FBI and Twitter ░░░░░░░░ Absolutely We ve already ░░░░░░░░ the three Twitter employees ░░░░░░░░ were implicated in the ░░░░░░░░ Twitter dump Mr Roth ░░░░░░░░ Gadde and Mr Baker ░░░░░░░░ come to the Oversight ░░░░░░░░ We want to interview ░░░░░░░░ in January on day ░░░░░░░░ We have a lot ░░░░░░░░ questions But the more ░░░░░░░░ is released to the ░░░░░░░░ the more astonished we ░░░░░░░░ the more troubled we ░░░░░░░░ You know my first ░░░░░░░░ were that there were ░░░░░░░░ one or two rogue ░░░░░░░░ employees who were going ░░░░░░░░ Twitter and Facebook telling ░░░░░░░░ This Hunter Biden laptop ░░░░░░░░ is Russian disinformation and ░░░░░░░░ t put it on ░░░░░░░░ platform but now we ░░░░░░░░ the FBI had a ░░░░░░░░ a group of 80 ░░░░░░░░ 80 agents And we ░░░░░░░░ today with this put ░░░░░░░░ they had paid Twitter ░░░░░░░░ 3 million for their ░░░░░░░░ with all the time ░░░░░░░░ had taken up in ░░░░░░░░ them who to censor ░░░░░░░░ what to censor Now ░░░░░░░░ is just Twitter We ░░░░░░░░ heard from Zuckerberg hint ░░░░░░░░ this was happening at ░░░░░░░░ Imagine what went on ░░░░░░░░ Google and YouTube and ░░░░░░░░ s going on in ░░░░░░░░ mainstream media This FBI ░░░░░░░░ out of control 3 ░░░░░░░░ to Twitter multiply that ░░░░░░░░ three other platforms 12 ░░░░░░░░ in salary and benefits ░░░░░░░░ those 80 employees Who ░░░░░░░░ funding this I mean ░░░░░░░░ has to step up ░░░░░░░░ the next few days ░░░░░░░░ say We gotta wait ░░░░░░░░ January to fund these ░░░░░░░░ agencies or else they ░░░░░░░░ going to continue to ░░░░░░░░ unaccountable VAN SUSTEREN Do ░░░░░░░░ have any information that ░░░░░░░░ government inaudible government the ░░░░░░░░ was telling Twitter Facebook ░░░░░░░░ YouTube what to do ░░░░░░░░ that they were doing ░░░░░░░░ for them Any specific ░░░░░░░░ whistleblowers that this was ░░░░░░░░ were getting directives from ░░░░░░░░ government and they were ░░░░░░░░ them Comer We had ░░░░░░░░ from people I don ░░░░░░░░ know that you would ░░░░░░░░ them official whistleblowers they ░░░░░░░░ t filed for whistleblower ░░░░░░░░ but people have come ░░░░░░░░ to Jim Jordan and ░░░░░░░░ and said that they ░░░░░░░░ pretty certain the FBI ░░░░░░░░ the one directing the ░░░░░░░░ to take down the ░░░░░░░░ Biden laptop story because ░░░░░░░░ s what my investigation ░░░░░░░░ about Joe Biden We ░░░░░░░░ using the laptop as ░░░░░░░░ know Greta for significant ░░░░░░░░ of our evidence and ░░░░░░░░ see it now and ░░░░░░░░ with thank goodness Elon ░░░░░░░░ disclosing this becoming transparent ░░░░░░░░ s very concerning because ░░░░░░░░ FBI had the laptop ░░░░░░░░ knew darn well it ░░░░░░░░ factual it was legitimate ░░░░░░░░ it contained very damaging ░░░░░░░░ about the Biden family ░░░░░░░░ peddling So for them ░░░░░░░░ imply to these platforms ░░░░░░░░ it was Russian disinformation ░░░░░░░░ the worst thing I ░░░░░░░░ ever heard coming from ░░░░░░░░ intelligence agency VAN SUSTEREN ░░░░░░░░ all your whistleblowers are ░░░░░░░░ know that they have ░░░░░░░░ they re telling correct ░░░░░░░░ how far up in ░░░░░░░░ FBI do you have ░░░░░░░░ that this could possibly ░░░░░░░░ going Comer Well until ░░░░░░░░ we thought it was ░░░░░░░░ centered around the Washington ░░░░░░░░ C field office But ░░░░░░░░ it s very concerning ░░░░░░░░ it s beyond that ░░░░░░░░ mean again a week ░░░░░░░░ I would have said ░░░░░░░░ s one or two ░░░░░░░░ FBI employees that had ░░░░░░░░ certain bias against Republicans ░░░░░░░░ against conservatives to get ░░░░░░░░ Trump but what we ░░░░░░░░ seeing now is they ░░░░░░░░ a whole agency a ░░░░░░░░ agency So you don ░░░░░░░░ just have 80 FBI ░░░░░░░░ acting unilaterally on something ░░░░░░░░ was approved by the ░░░░░░░░ leaders at the FBI ░░░░░░░░ all are going to ░░░░░░░░ hauled in front of ░░░░░░░░ Congress They re going ░░░░░░░░ have to account for ░░░░░░░░ You know Congress never ░░░░░░░░ to do this The ░░░░░░░░ has no business in ░░░░░░░░ speech whether it s ░░░░░░░░ speech or conservative speech ░░░░░░░░ have no business doing ░░░░░░░░ This is another act ░░░░░░░░ the deep state out ░░░░░░░░ control And Republicans in ░░░░░░░░ majority in January are ░░░░░░░░ have to do something ░░░░░░░░ this because nobody else ░░░░░░░░ Congress is going to ░░░░░░░░ anything about it I ░░░░░░░░ going to take the ░░░░░░░░ word out but what ░░░░░░░░ so different about this ░░░░░░░░ to investigations in prior ░░░░░░░░ is that you said ░░░░░░░░ don t have to ░░░░░░░░ on memories Either the ░░░░░░░░ mails and the texts ░░░░░░░░ there or they aren ░░░░░░░░ which is sort of ░░░░░░░░ because everyone has left ░░░░░░░░ paper trail or electronic ░░░░░░░░ But we ll see ░░░░░░░░ this goes Thank you ░░░░░░░░ James Comer thank you ░░░░░░░░ Comer Thanks for having ░░░░░░░░ Greta.”
