1:01 am
>> trey: good evening andthan thank you for joining us hered t and i'm trey gowdy and it is "sunday night in america." are we in the era of doingn th impeachments? the era we are in whichever party controls the house seeks to remove a president from the other party. and this double standard when it comes to congressional investigations. eric swalwell is now a medical examiner displaying his version of a death certificate from the biden impeachment probe. the it is the same eric swalwell foe years perform cpr on theatio russia's collusion investigation on a daily basis. the same eric swalwell whod to badgered witnesses and leaked to the press and usurped to duly elected president.s iden and the media never challenged him pure the media never challenged adam schiff we invented a whole new category of evidence and then never producee it.more >> there is more than circumstantial evidence now.
1:02 am
again funko i think -- >> you have direct evidence of collusion? >> i don't want to go into specifics, but i will say evidences circumstantial and worthy of investigation.schi >> trey: adam schiff was wrong about russia, wrong about pf pfizer, wrong about the steele dossier and he pursued failed impeachments and his punishment for those failuresndi was untying adoration of thedi d.c. media coupled with theso democrat nomination for u.s. senate. so much fo mr consequences.hmen impeachment is tantamount to the political death penalty. the investigation and trial wert off and resemble a chaotic carnival. the >> the chair has ruled -- the chair has ruled. what are you afraid of, chairman? t iso far in this hearing, i the worst episode of the apprentice. i'm sure you're familiar with that show. it seems like my colleagues andh
1:03 am
maybe you and some others arees trying to become the next vice president wasting all ofngo our time, are ours, hours and hours going down fake rabbit holes. this id plifs a show. what is all fake! >> trey: make no mistake, the chaos is intentional and it isdo coordinated between house democrats and defenders in the fourth estate. house democrats disrupt while the d.c. media itemizes gp -- g.o.p. investigations. democratd investigations albany other end are treated like cardinals.nals they demand to know when the g.o.p. will perform impeachment. >> i mean, let's just do the impeachment.e mi why continue to waste millionsea of dollars of the taxpayers money if we are going to impeach because you believe you have shown committed high crime and a misdemeanor? what are you waiting on? let's just do it. by the way, you have chairmane here, a double chairman and why
1:04 am
are you calling for the vote in the committee? when is it going to happen? >> trey: well, they didn't seem to mind when nancy pelosi took weeks to simply transmitim pearticles of impeachment from e house to the senate. it took her weeks to walk a couple hundred steps from one side odredf the capital to the other. so we are left to wonder whether impeachment has become washington's version of ruling and joe's. os aif the reason americans hava dim view o a df the media is bee the media never met republican investigation that should begin orinve democrat investigations t should end.ve joining us house oversighter, chairman, james comer. welcome, mr. chairman. where does that impeachmentft f inquiry stand? what witnesses are left to examine?want >> well, right now we want to hear from joe biden because what we have heard is three formerar witnesses who all testified under oath.ha
1:05 am
joe biden was the central figure in the family's input schemes. trey, what the democrats will t nohet dispute in the media wille not dispute, the biden was idling. the biden did not have a single legitimate -- or one single hour of work for tens of millions of dollars they received from the enemies around the world. that is peddling 101. i will go further, the biden family did notfurt pay a penny f texas on $28 million they received from our adversaries around the world. w but the problem joe biden has is, three business associates have testified that joe biden was the centraral figure in ther input peddling schemes.ying now, with the democrats were saying, go ahead and impeach, go ahead and impeach, they want in impeachment, trey, because they know that this and it will nothd do anything pure and i want to hold the biden family accountable and the best way to
1:06 am
hold the biden family is through criminal referrals. we can prove it and many democrats are not disputing the present sun and domestic son and son committed crimes. but they were disputing joe biden was involved. that's why we've given joe biden the opportunity to come beforete the committee to explain himself. >> trey: president biden sit down with robert and didn't tura out well for him. do you plan on for inviting himo sit down for a transcribed sit interview and do you want to send questions to him or send questions to his lawyer? how do you propose to get answers from him? >> we are going to send him some questions, we will definitely do that. but we will give them opportunity toe come before the house oversight committee. he has an open invitation, but he better do it quickly. if he wants to come and sit down for an interview, i will bring the oversight staff to the white house and we will conduct that transcribed interviewuct . it is his choice.
1:07 am
but if he does not come forward and answer for himself, we have to believe the testimony of tony bobulinski, archer, who all testified joe biden was a central figure and joe biden met with all these people, joe biden has light dozens of times about his knowledge of participation d benefited from his family's peddling schemes and that will l for joe bidenr jo moving forward when we enter the accountability phase of this investigation. >> trey: chairman, code you mentioned criminal referrals.n. those referrals would be to aic doj run by merrick garland put in placeput by joe biden.yo do you expect those criminal referrals to be in addition to impeachment articles or in lieuc of impeachment articles? >> well, that is a decision leadership will havedeci to makb but again, the dash the fact
1:08 am
that the senate isn't going to take impeachment seriously at all just like they haven't takek merrick garland impeachment seriously, i think is evidence if we want to hold them accountable, we have to think on the department of justice. ifd of the merrick garland department of justice will not hold him accountable, then trey gowdy department of justice can hold this family accountable for the wrongdoing. that is one of my hopes theyount are, trey. >> trey: chairman, my wife m cannot live on the ay salary t attorney general makes. but thank you for saying that. i love being a prosecutor, but i also love working for foxox b because i get to talk to you.u thank you for spending time with us on a sunday night. thank you and good luck to your beloved state of kentucky. >> thank you, trey. >> trey: former to president trump has two find half a billion dollars for anw yoappeal bond in a new york civl
1:09 am
fraud case, otherwise, he runs the riskse the state of new york will start seizing assets.he joining us to survey the legal landscape for former prosecutor andrew and former deputy ascentr stent general john yoo. andrew, the justice system is different, should be different, used to be different and even ae opponents are entitled to due process and fundamental fairness. how half a million dollars in f no real victim to some of us seems personal and punitive. are we missing something?we is there something that justifies that amount, which is really tantamount to the business death penalty foralty donald trump? >> there is not cured and the appellate division's credibility ultimately depends on hovisiw ty act on this day that trump's team has filed with it. they are looking for some state or relief from this astronomical judgment and required to pay it by monday. the defense team has actually
1:10 am
come forward and given the appellate court all the rational spirit and first of all they allow for exceptions to be madef and in the past they have made it far less wrecking amounts and they have in this case the talk about the likelihood of success on appeal. they gouto through all sorts of issues witgh ah calculations and accounting, the judge entered on it and then finally the fifthro amendment. the fact that this amount of fines, thies amount of penalty from state is astronomically higher than any calculation youo can put forward to show actual damages. therapy actually know actual damages. so i think there are solid grounds from the appellate court anoundd i think they have to don and i hope they go through that right down to the wire. >> trey: professor, the news watrs a little better for the former presidente in georgia. nathan way to solve the case. ththe judge is allowing they defense to appeal the decisionai on the fani willis case. whatis o do you think will happn
1:11 am
appeal, and is the timing ofth this trial definitely pushed beyond november because of this? >> it is hard to see how this case gets to a verdict for november, given we have a deep and started ant wey proceedingsn front of in a jury. but the more important thing is, the justice department former employees and we all know that the prosecutors have to have the highest integrity. they have to have even higher integrity if they go after a president for the firs ey nt time hava af in history and for massive rico charges against a presidential reelection campaign, which is an exercise of first amendmentri rights.y because ultimately, prosecutors in the legal system can't succeed, cannot maintain law and order, anand d list they have te confidence and the cooperation of the public. if the public sees monkey business and sometimes seem to be lying to the core on tv in front of everybody, then we have to be worried within the
1:12 am
prosecutors have the integrity necessary. >> trey: all right, this is>> for both of you. lwe will start with you, professor clement and andrew. the presidential immunity case is pending before the supreme court. he won the colorado case, he did the impossible and it was 9-0. what do you think will happen with the president to immunitynt case because i doubt that will0 be 9-0. we will start with you,ndre professor, and then andrew. >> i wouldn't beet at against yu because you have a good record.. i actually think it might be 9-0 but i think it might be 9-0 against president trump. all the residents and all of the past seems to run against trump. i don't think the courts will likely to see presidents haveik immunity from federalel prosecution.prim but people keep in mind, it just means chump gnomic trump doesn't have to show up in up here. he still has charges about whether this is fraud and i don't think it is.g wi
1:13 am
or interfering with congressional process.co i'm not sure whether trump took away anyone's voting rights in the whole countrnore iy come i t think that she will be able toeh make those constitutional legal arguments, even if he ime loses. >> trey: andrew, what do you think? look, the link between officialt acwet and personal act, i didn't think the oral argument went well for trump lawyers inot the d.c. court of appeals, but what do you think?you i will disagree with john on this month. joi actually think there is a gm case for the supreme court to grant that we some degree of g immunity here.e this is a case of first impression. no presidenthas has been securd criminally before. hawe do have some precedent that talks about the outer perimeter of the presidency command that being a guideline for the idea of immunity. of the d.c. circuit court totallyig ignored that and straight set that president does not enjoy immunity. that seems to be the opposite all the time government actors
1:14 am
have a certain degree of immunity. if the court gives the outer perimeter standard toyo donald trump, how do you define what that looks like? that will be the difficulty for the supreme court because this decision will goe co forward ano hundreds of years as precedent how to prosecute presidents. how that when his trunk and it gets tricky to say that the engagement of the president and the legitimacy for the sanctity of voting doesn't have to do with foreign interactions or foreign policies, which iss ve article 1 function of the presidency. it is very difficult t o say. isi think that's a the supreme court will set a guideline for what immunity looks like, and i think it will be relatively far down the line. they are not going to get into politics of deciding what is and what is not a presidential act versus a personal one.al a >> trey: members of congresshoul should listen to both of you, two haley sustained low euro strong different conclusions but doing so in such civility and grace.

party or a retreat and nobody showed up were very few. i guess they were too busy going out trying to kill one another politically speaking, right?y was very, very poorly attendedgn meanwhile they are out campaigning against one anothero >> trey, used to sort of touched on it but the irony of the speakers coming out swinging and blasting the republican membersr for going out against their own colleagues in incumbent ros is the people receiving this message aren't there. d and if you narrooww it down the biggest name that comes to mind is matt gaetz down in texas to campaign against tony gonzalez, in incumbent, a runoff against a sort of social media probebu influencer. but he has also been involved in other races.oss congressman mike voss raised against the aaron bailey, which not so successful was mike vosst was able to pull aheado in that

good. he sends endorse trump after desantis dropped out quickly. but mike mccarthy might be o looking to put money in the race with his allies.on but one thing that struck me become a member told mee recently, he hasn't seen this many republicany on colleagues lineup against sitting member like bob good as they have liz cheney. so there is some sort of irony a here.ey, bob is facing john maguire, who is a the navy seal and is a stae senator, and he is looking ton really run on a pro trump platform. >> trey: you mentioned the former speaker, kevin mccarthy. he was can, it look like, looking democrats to pass certain bills, which is exactly what speaker mike johnso n has done. so, are any members wondering what has changed and what if anything has gotten better since they got rid of mccarthy? and if not, what if anything
1:25 am
will happen to speaker johnson? >> i think there is sort of the realization with mike johnson is that, the truck my party doesn't change no matter the leadership. there was always this tension internally, the people that goe against the leadership, and the people that will be a part of the team. in such a thin minority, it is a tough time for anyone in thissi ticurrent position to get throu, especially the conservativestank taking procedural votes to come to the floor in the minds of republicans blocking the republican agenda. that sort of regard, it seems like a lot of the things stay the same. has threatened his own threat of vacated.lina >> trey: the g.o.p. house conference is beginning to resemble "game of thrones," f congress may o actually wear makeup.e ma the actor and actress is on
