00:00 I was joking. They're all right.

00:01 Considering supporting primary challenges to any of these

00:04 able public. Well, you know, one of the things, um, when I was running for

00:08 speaker, that's it. I couldn't get involved in primaries, but I told the

00:11 conference I'm a free agent now, aren't I? I think I'm pretty good at electing

00:15 people.

00:15 Last time you spoke to President Biden, do you expect you now? You know, I was

00:21 thinking about that. It's been a long, long time.

00:23 I couldn't remember when I spoke to him last.

00:30 You know, I've worked with a couple different presidents. Um,

00:32 I would have thought

00:34 I thought we had built some respect for one another going through the debt

00:40 ceiling. I know he got frustrated with me, but and I have a great deal of

00:46 respect for the people in his office. I worked for Rashedi and all them. I think

00:51 there look, we have different philosophy, Schwan's than the others.

00:54 Um, they're smart. I respect them. They were honest. Um, and I thought we made

01:00 a good agreement. Um, as a president, I would engage more.

01:04 I think being hands on. Look, you're the leader of the free world. Um, all the

01:11 other presidents. I think bringing people together is a better way.

01:14 Talking through stuff when you're in those rooms, you can talk about all

01:17 sorts of things.

01:23 To what part?

01:24 No, let's talk about that. You guys play. And remember what impeachment inquiry

01:32 is, is simply the ability to give the House Republicans and Democrats the

01:37 power when you request for information. So if you were lawmakers and you hold

01:44 you in high esteem because you are investigative reporters in a minute,

01:47 you're supposed to cover this stuff.

01:48 When I came into

01:51 power, I didn't know any of this. I did not know when he was vice president

01:57 that his family created 20 shell companies. I had no idea about that.

02:00 Don't not saying that's wrong. I did not know he got 16 of the 17 payments

02:06 from Romania while he was vice president and he was supposed to be in charge of

02:10 Romania. I didn't know that. I had no idea when a whistleblower came to us

02:14 and said that the FBI has an informant they still pay who claims

02:21 that the president was bribed by $5 million. It was interesting. We had to

02:26 fight to get that document. And when we got that document, it said it would be

02:30 hard to find because he has a lot of shell companies. Then I had no idea

02:35 that IRS agents would come to us.

02:38 How would I know they come to us and say, look, we've worked for 16 years.

02:44 We don't have any

02:44 um political basis on the other side, but we're concerned with what's

02:50 happened here, that D. O. J. Allowed

02:53 the statute of limitations to run out that they weren't allowed to interview

02:59 Hunter because when they went to the FBI, they told him and then they even

03:04 told the inaugural committee. I don't know how that play in that the D. O. J.

03:07 would call 100 biden's attorneys and tell them that they didn't even know

03:11 about a storage unit with all the papers before they could go there. Um,

03:16 the president told us he never had a meeting. He never talked to us. Look,

03:20 when he said he never talked to us and I didn't believe that. I don't think

03:23 it's wrong. If you talk to your son, I want you to talk to your kids about

03:25 anything, right? Doesn't mean you're influencing something, but he literally

03:29 I had no idea

03:30 that the partner to 100 biden that also served on the Ukrainian Energy Board

03:37 said they would literally call in the meetings. And then he said that they

03:42 were getting a lot of pressure barisma to do something about the Ukraine

03:46 prosecutor. And I did know the president tell the entire country that

03:50 he withheld a billion dollars of american taxpayer money to get rid of

03:54 the prosecutor. Um, and then we found out that the president not only called

03:59 in the meetings that he went to Cafe Milano, he went to Cafe Milano more

04:02 times and met with the foreign business partners of 100 biden than he has gone

04:07 to the border in 50 years. But with each meeting that you went to Cafe Milano

04:10 and I've never had this happen. I've been to Cafe Milano, but I've never

04:13 gotten a new Porsche the next day and I never got $3 million wired to me from

04:18 a russian oligarch. So if you knew all of that,

04:21 would you at least say, hmm,

04:25 I think there's more thing we've never asked for the tax or the bank

04:32 statements of the president of Hunter or anybody else. And these 20 shell

04:36 companies had credit cards that were being paid. Now, this laptop that was

04:40 supposed to be russian that we now found out was hunter in there. He did

04:44 say his father would take the money from him. Um, he did make and we did

04:50 find out that the president, I didn't know this when I became speaker, used

04:55 another name while he was vice president for emails. And in one of the

04:59 emails, it said that, um, it only went to him and his son hunter. And it was

05:05 about a phone call he was going to have with the president of Ukraine. Now,

05:11 if you knew all of that, would you say, oh, I don't have any more questions

05:15 or would you at least as a lawmaker and you have a role here, wouldn't you

05:21 at least say, okay, well, we're going to have to go get some more documents.

05:25 And if you're going to get more documents, I just want to make sure if

05:28 they're going to fight it and string everything out that we can get it.

05:31 That's all impeachment inquiry. Now, if that made the president upset, maybe

05:35 he shouldn't have lied to us from the beginning.
