COVID, AND FENTANYL WE ARE ON
IT ALL MORNING LONG "MORNINGS
WITH MARIA" IS LIVE RIGHT NOW.
MARIA: HOUSE REPUBLICANS
PLANNING TO INVESTIGATE THE
BIDEN FAMILY SHADY BUSINESS
DEALS, AND INFLUENCE PEDDLING,
ALREADY FACING SCRUTINY FROM
MEDIA THE LOS ANGELES TIMES
OUT WITH YOU NEW OP-ED CALLED
ENJOYED THE BEEN GHAZI
HEARINGS?
YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE GOP
STORY OF ANGERCONTAINMENT.
>> SAYS, THE PUBLIC DESERVES
TO KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED,
REFERRING TO HOW TWITTER
CENSORED THE HUNTER BIDEN
STUDY JOINING ME SOON TO BE
CHAIRMAN OF THE HOUSE
OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE JAMES
COMER GOOD TO SEE YOU THANKS
VERY MUCH FOR BEING HERE AS
YOU HE GEAR UP FOR 118TH
CONGRESS AND CHAIRMAN OF THE
OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE TELL US
WHERE YOU ARE FOCUSED IN TERMS
OF JOE BIDEN HUNTER BIDEN
INFLUENCE PEDDLING STORY.
>> A GREAT QUESTION SQUARELY
ON BANK REPORTS HAVE SWOR
RESPONDED ENSFROM HUNTER BIDEN
AS WELL AS INTRODUCED FROM AT
LEAST TWO WHISTLEBLOWERS POINT
TO SPECIFIC THINGS HUNTER
BIDEN WAS PAYING FOR FOR JOE
BIDEN I DON’T THINK WE FIND
DIRECT PAYMENTS FROM CHINA OR
RUSSIA TO JOE BIDEN, IT, IT
PARES THAT THE MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS WENT THROUGH SEVERAL
OF HUNTER BIDEN’S VARIOUS
LLCS, IN TURN, JOE BIDEN WAS
RECEIVING BENEFITS THROUGH
HUNTER BIDEN PAYING FOR BASIC
LIVING EXPENSES REPAIRS TO
HOMES THINGS LIKE THAT
OBVIOUSLY, SOMETHING THAT THE
PRESIDENT HAS LIED ABOUT, HE
LIED ABOUT HIS KNOWLEDGE OF
HUNTER’S SHADY BUSINESS
DEALINGS DEVELOPMENT OF THE IN
HUNTER’S SHADY BUSINESS
DEALINGS WE BELIEVE LIED ABOUT
FWREFZ ALL-IN IP FROM HIS
FAMILY PAST DECADE.
>> I KNOW AT ONE POINT CHINESE
OFFICIALS SENT HUNTER BIDEN
ENORMOUS DIAMOND THAT IS A WAY
OF HIDING MONEY?
WHAT SPECIFICALLY WERE CHINESE
OFFICIALS AND OFFICIALS FROM
UKRAINE, OFFICIALS FROM
RUSSIA, WHAT SPECIFICALLY WERE
THEY PAYING HUNTER BIDEN FOR?
>> PUTTING HIS ROLE ON BURISMA
BOARD ASIDE WHAT WERE THEY
PAYING HIM FOR.
>> LOOK AT WHAT HUNTER BIDEN’S
BUSINESSES REALLY ARE, HE
DOESN’T MANUFACTURE ANYTHING,
HE DOESN’T OWN ANY EQUIPMENT,
HE DOESN’T HAVE ANY EMPLOYEES,
HE IS NOT LICENSED TO SELL
ANYTHING, IT APPEARS TO ME HIS
BUSINESSES WERE INFLUENCE
PEDDLING, ONLY REASON, THAT
YOU CAN MAKE, THAT A THESE
FOREIGN COUNTRIES WERE PAYING
HUNTER BIDEN MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS WOULD BE FOR ACCESS TO
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AT HIGHEST
LEVELS TO HIS FATHER.
THIS IS SOMETHING CLEARLY,
SHOULD NOT BE LEGAL THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT THE PRESIDENT
HAS NOT BEEN TRUTHFUL WITH
AMERICAN PEOPLE OVER WE ARE
GOING TO MAKE THIS ONE OF OUR
INVESTIGATIVE PRIORITIES IN
NEW CONGRESS.
IT IS VERY SAD TO SEE MEDIA
ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES,
WRITE SO MANY OP-EDS TRASHING
THE FACT THAT REPUBLICANS
SIMPLY WANT TO HAVE A FOCUS OF
AN INVESTIGATION, TO DETERMINE
WHETHER OR NOT THIS PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES IS
COMPROMISED BY OUR
ADVERSARIES.
>> REALLY RICH ISN’T IT TO SEE
MEDIA TALK ABOUT YOUR
INVESTIGATIONS, AS SOME KIND
OF A POLITICAL MOVE, AFTER
FOUR YEARS LITERALLY FOUR
YEARS OF ATTACKING DONALD
TRUMP, AND CONSERVATIVES AND
REPUBLICANS, BECAUSE THEY JUST
DID NOT AGREE, WITH WHERE
MEDIA HAD ITS PRIORITIES, AND
POLITICS, I MEAN LITERALLY,
FOUR YEARS OF A RUSSIA
COLLUSION LIE, GOING VIRAL IN
MEDIA, AND -- YOU KNOW --
BULLYING CONSERVATIVES OUT OF
RESTAURANTS NOW BECAUSE YOU
ARE INVESTIGATING, WHAT COULD
BE REAL CRIMES CRIMINAL
ACTIVITY, YOUR SUPPOSED TO BE
THE POLITICAL GUY.
>> RIGHT, SO MANY OP-EDS I
READ ONE IN THE HILL THIS
MORNING SAYING THEY ARE
CONCERNED REPUBLICANS GETTING
OFF TO A BAD START I AM SURE
MEDIA IS CONCERNED WHETHER OR
NOT THE REPUBLICANS GET OFF TO
A GOOD START OR NOT THE FACT
OF THE MATTER IS THE MEDIA IS
COVERED FOR THE BIDEN FAMILY
INFLUENCE PEDDLING FOR A
DECADE TRIED TO SUPPRESS THE
HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP STORY THEY
TRIED TO DISCOUNT THE
EVIDENCE, THAT WE’VE ALREADY
PROVEN TO AMERICAN PEOPLE, IN
A PRESS CONFERENCE A COUPLE
WEEKS AGO, NOW THEY ARE
CONTINUING TO CRITICIZE THE
FACT WE DARE INVESTIGATING
THIS DISAPPOINTING, THE FACT
-- ONLY REPUBLICAN AGENDA THUS
FAR?
WE’VE PROMOTED, THE COMMITMENT
TO AMERICA, WE’VE TALKED BE
REDUCING INFLATION REDUCING
CRIME TRYING TO SECURE
SOUTHERN BORDER TO ELIMINATE
FENTANYL ACROSS THE BORDER
MEDIA TRIES TO SPIN THIS
REPUBLICANS ONLY FOCUS ON NEW
CONGRESS IS GAIRLTH PRESIDENT
BIDEN IT IS A FOCUS ALONG WITH
VERY CONSERVATIVE LEGISLATIVE
AGENDA.
>> IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING
PARTICULARLY ENORMOUS THREATS
COUNTRY FACES IN PARTICULAR
PARTICULAR COMMUNIST CHINA YOU
DON’T HAVE SCRUTINY THERE, YOU
DON’T HAVE SCRUTINY ON TIKTOK,
I -- I MEAN YOU DON’T HAVE
SCRUTINY OVER YOU KNOW, SOME
OF THE REAL THREATS TO AMERICA
HOUSE MINORITY LEADER KEVIN
MCCARTHY YESTERDAY SUGGESTED
WHITE HOUSE MONITORING
TWITTER, AND ELON MUSK, COULD
BE VIOLATING FIRST AMENDMENT
HERE IS KEVIN MCCARTHY
YESTERDAY I WANT TO GET YOUR
REACTION TO THIS WATCH.
.
>> --
>> KEEPING -- EYE ON TWITTER
UNDER ELON MUSK --
>> THAT WAS OFFENSIVE TO ME
GOVERNMENTS GOING AFTER
SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO HAVE FREE
SPEECH?
WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO LOOK AT
TWITTER ABOUT?
I THINK THEY SHOULD STOP
PICKING ON ELON MUSK.
MARIA: YOU WOULD THINK THE
MEDIA WANTS FREE SPEECH, BUT
THEIR LOSING THEIR DEMOCRAT PR
SQUAWK BOX I IMPETUS THEY ARE
LOSING THAT WITH ELON MUSK,
BECAUSE HE IS TRYING TO MAKE A
BALANCE, ARE YOU GOING TO BE
INVESTIGATING THAT?
LOOK AT APPLE, IMPLEMENTING 10
MINUTE TIME LIMIT FOR CHINESE
USERS OF AIRDROP, ARE --
UPDATE FROM APPLE RESTRICTING
AIRDROP FILE SHARING IN CHINA.
YOU KNOW.
WHEN HONG KONG PROTESTERS WERE
ON THE GROUND, THEY USED
SOCIAL MEDIA TO GET MORE
PROTESTERS TO JOIN THEIR
PROTESTER, NOW NOT ABLE TO DO
THAT, BECAUSE OF APPLE.
BECAUSE CEO TIM COOK MADE THE
DECISION, TO UPDATE THE IOS
FEATURES AND NO LONGER ALLOWS
AIRDROP, TO WORK, YOU KNOW ALL
THE TIME IT HAS 10-MINUTE
LIMIT CEO TIM TOOK EITHER
MEETING WITH GOP LAWMAKER OWN
CAPITOL HILL WILL VOOIFRT
COMMITTEE MEET WITH TIM COOK?
ARE YOU INVESTIGATING THIS.
>> WE DON’T HAVE A MEETING
DOWN WITH TIM COOK, WITH
RESPECT TO TWITTER LONG BEFORE
ELON MUSK KILL A TO TWITTER WE
SENT LETTERS, TELLING THE
TWITTER EXECUTIVES.
PRESERVE DOCUMENTS, PRESERVE
OUR CORRESPONDENCE WE BELIEVE
THAT DEMOCRAT NATIONAL
COMMITTEE AS WELL AS FBI WAS
COMMUNICATING WITH TWITTER
JUST LIKE THEY WERE WITH,
ACCORDING TO ZUCKERBERG TRYING
TO GET THEM SUPPRESS STORIES WOULD HELP DMALTHS HURT
WOULD HELP DMALTHS HURT
REPUBLICANS, THIS IS WILD, THE
GOVERNMENT HAS NO BUSINESS, IN
CENSORING FREE SPEECH WE
MENTIONED ELON MUSK GOING TO
TURN DOCUMENTS OVER IN K34KS
WITH HIS TEAM I THINK THIS IS
SOMETHING WHITE HOUSE IS VERY
SCARED OF, THE TO FIND THAT
ONE OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA
COMPANIES IS CHANGED OWNERSHIP
THEY ARE ARE WILLING TO PILL
BEANS ON THIS ADMINISTRATION
EFFORT TO SUPPRESS FREE
SPEECH.
>> SO YOU ARE GOING TO KNOW
BASED ON WHAT YOU LEARNED FROM
DOCUMENTS OUT OF TWITTER, HOW
THE WHITE HOUSE, CALLED
TWITTER AND OTHERS TO SAY,
CENSOR THE HUNTER BIDEN DON’T
LET ANYBODY KNOW ABOUT HUNTER
BIDEN INFLUENCE PEDDLING
MAKING MONEY ON JOE BIDEN’S
NAME?
>> SOMEBODY CALLED TWITTER.
ACCORDING TO ZUCKERBERG AT
FACEBOOK IT WAS FBI, BUT WE
ARE CERTAIN SOMEBODY
AFFILIATED WITH THIS
GOVERNMENT IN WASHINGTON,
D.C., WAS CALLING TWITTER
TELLING THEM SUPPRESS
CONSERVATIVE SPEECH AND THAT
IS A CONCERN THAT SHOULD BE A
CONCERN TO EVEN THE LIBERAL
IMMEDIATE NOT LETTING UP
HOPEFUL THAT ELON
MUSK COOPERATE FULLY IN THIS
INVESTIGATION.
MARIA: WE ARE FOLLOWING YOUR
IMPORTANT WORK THANKS VERY
MUCH FOR BEING HERE THIS
MORNING.
