So we've reached the end of the road for MAGA Republican James Comer, who chairs the Oversight Committee in his effort to try to impeach President Biden, an utter failure.
Starting point is 00:02:08 But now we know what James Comer's true intentions were from the outset. James Comer's final objective, what he's really been going after, has been revealed because he was so incompetent that a leak occurred where Harper Collins listed that James Comer is getting ready to sell a book in September. And James Comer, of course, claims, no, there's a conspiracy here or in James Comer's voice. No, that's not going to happen. We're not really selling a book. That information shouldn't be on HarperCollins' website. Well, it is because what HarperCollins was doing, and I know this from doing deals in the book industry before and the publishing industry before starting Midas Touch, they have to start loading some of the metadata on Amazon and some of these places in advance of the sale. And so I think that's how it ultimately
Starting point is 00:03:05 became public. But now Comer's claiming that none of that is true and there's a conspiracy there. But let me show you the latest with James Comer. Here's the story that Axios broke right here. And it is scoop. James Comer is in talks about a potential book deal as he leads the Biden impeachment probe. With Comer, it's all about the money he's angling for potential book deal as he leads the Biden impeachment probe. With Comer, it's all about the money he's angling for that book deal. Comer's camp told Axios that he has been in talks with HarperCollins about a potential book deal, but doesn't know why the book itself, which actually has a name already, All the President's Money by James Comer.
Starting point is 00:03:44 How would that get revealed? I don't know. Maybe HarperCollins was loading the metadata into the Amazon systems and their own systems for distribution, and that's how it was uncovered. But James Comer wants to say, no, that's just one big conspiracy theory again. Here's what Axios writes. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is in discussions with at least one publisher about a book deal at the same time he is leading the Biden impeachment probe, Axios has learned. Comer's impeachment investigation of Biden is looking like a dud, but Republicans insist they plan to keep pressuring Biden over family money ties into 2025. A book would be a high-profile way to do that.
Starting point is 00:04:27 Talking about Comer has led the impeachment probe into Biden. His look into potential influence peddling by the Bidens included scrutiny about the president's past book deals behind the scenes. The project came to light when a source pointed Axios to a page on the HarperCollins website that shows placeholder cover for a book by Culver with a provocative title, All the President's Money, and a purported publication date of September 10th. But no book is imminent and there's no book deal, Comer staff tells Axios. They lie about everything. They're lying about no book deal, Comer's staff tells Axios. They lie about everything. They're lying about the book deal. HarperCollins just on their own started posting a random book by
Starting point is 00:05:14 James Comer. That's not the way it works. I mean, they just think everyone's an idiot about everything. The link was put up in error by HarperCollins, Comer's spokesman, Austin Hacker, tells Axios. It was not authorized by Congressman Comer, and he immediately requested it be taken down. Yeah, after somebody forwarded the link to Axios, you see it right there. Yes, but the spokesman admitted that Comer has been in talks with the publisher about a potential book deal. Yeah, that's why it's posted, because there's a deal's done. HarperCollins isn't going, you know what? Let me post a book of James Comer
Starting point is 00:05:49 because we may do a deal in the future. Again, Comer just thinks everyone's stupid. The guy lies about everything. The guy's a freaking moron. Sorry, the guy's an idiot. Sorry, I'll try to be more diplomatic. He is untruthful in his words. Although he has been in discussion
Starting point is 00:06:04 with HarperCollins about a potential book, he has not entered into any publishing agreement with any publisher, including HarperCollins. I'm sure HarperCollins just posted it on their own. While Comer's team says no book is written, a source familiar with Comer's plan said he hopes to publish the book in the future about his political experiences. What we're watching, Democrats are sure to complain about Comer mixing roles as impeachment architect and prospective author. I mean, what a hypocrite.
Starting point is 00:06:34 I wanted to think the guy was trying to criticize President Biden for was that after Biden left the office, before Biden was president. So in between VP and president, Biden would write a book. Comer, while he's in this position, is what, angling to try to make a ton of money by turning his entire impeachment inquiry into a book deal? Are you absolutely kidding me? And then Comer just did a right-wing radio interview where his new conspiracy theory as to why he has no evidence for his failed impeachment attempt. This is what Comer says. Here, play the clip.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Well, what's so crazy about this is there's this counter effort being made to try to sell the American public on the idea that you guys haven't found anything. And I think we're dealing here with actual living, breathing business partners testifying on the contrary to quite an extent. So what do you like in this, too? Is this Garland just trying to be a human shield for the president? Like, what is this? Well, Garland's working with the deep state who's working with the liberal mainstream media to try to indoctrinate into people's minds that there's no evidence. And this is a former Republican Congressman
Starting point is 00:07:50 Ken Buck, an actual conservative was like, get me the heck out of this. These magas are crazy. Ken Buck explained that it does, it did appear that a MAGA Republican James Comer and Jim Jordan knowingly relied on foreign spies to launder disinformation from Russia and the CCP to try to take down President Biden. This isn't Midas touching it. This is a conservative Republican Ken Buck saying what the MAGA Republicans did. Play this clip. So James Comer and Jim Jordan, they knew that this was not corroborated information, yet they still went public with it, talked about it on television, used it to fuel these investigations regardless? That's what it appears. I certainly didn't have any evidence outside the statement itself that
Starting point is 00:08:42 it was credible. And as a prosecutor for 25 years, Kaylin, I never went to the public until I could prove the reliability of a statement. And even then, the only public statement a prosecutor makes is the charging document. Let's see what the evidence is in this impeachment if there is more evidence before going forward. And you don't have to listen to Ken Buck. Why don't we listen to James Comer in his own words? Here, MAGA Republican James Comer, after the witness was exposed as being a foreign agent for Russia, he goes, yeah, it wasn't an important witness. The 1023 things, the forms, all the whistleblowers that we never said that was a big deal. Here, play this clip. End of the day, with respect to the FBI informant that Christopher Wray told, Jamie, you're asking me, Charles Grassley, Jim Jordan was one of their most trusted,
Starting point is 00:09:42 highest paid informants with the Bureau for over a decade. You know, at the end of the day, he wasn't an important part of this investigation because I didn't even know who he was. All I knew was there was a 1023 that alleged robbery. My investigations about all the money the Bidens have taken from China, from Romania, from. For nothing. Kazakhstan. For nothing in return. For nothing. This guy has absolutely nothing to do with it. We got a tip. We investigate. We couldn't figure out who it was. Here's James Comer saying it. We got a tip. We investigated. We couldn't figure out who it was. Here's James Comer saying it actually was a big deal previously. Play the clip.
Starting point is 00:10:11 What is the whistleblower saying specifically? Well, as you know, Maria, Senator Grassley and I have reviewed a legally protected and highly credible whistleblower document which alleges that there was an exchange of money for policy decisions made by then Vice President Joe Biden. We have determined that whistleblower is extremely credible. And based on the bank records that I've been getting, and you and I have been talking about on your show for weeks now, and based on the fact that nine different Biden family members have been receiving payments from a web of LLCs that are receiving payments from adversaries around the world, this fits a pattern of questionable behavior that the Biden family members have been doing to receive funds. So we take this whistleblower claim very seriously. We know it exists. We know
Starting point is 00:11:06 the FBI has the document. As Senator Grassley said, it is not classified. So we want that document in our possession. And we also want to know what the FBI did to verify the claim of the whistleblower. Did you know that traditional bedsheets can harbor more bacteria than a toilet seat?

James Comer told Maria Bartiromo recently in an interview. Oh no, no, this was a different interview right here. This was on Newsmax where James Comer said that he's now going to have to investigate John Kerry for colluding with Soros or something like that. Here, play the clip. This is more evidence of obstruction. The White House is obstructing our investigation.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Look, no one knows what John Kerry authority was. No one knows what John Kerry was negotiating when he would go to China. Joe Biden put him in a cabinet level position that he just created, but yet he was never confirmed by the Senate. So no one knows really what his job was, but we know he went over there a lot. We also know, Rob, that he was colluding with these left wing environmental organizations. We're trying to figure out who was funding these. We know some of these were Soros funded. We believe that some of them may have had some other foreign infusions of cash
Starting point is 00:14:11 from our enemies around the world. And every American knows that the Biden energy policy is a disaster. That's showing up in the polls. So we have a lot of questions. And just like everything else, they're slow at turning over this investigation. The information that we've requested. It's not classified. We just want to know exactly who John Kerry was colluding with
Starting point is 00:14:32 and try to figure out why he was doing that and what damage it's done to the American taxpayers. I mean, look, it's just a total clown show. And here is Democratic Congress member Jared Moskowitz just showing what a clown show it is. Because now we know that James Comer just wanted to write a book. This is all about money, money, money for James Comer at the end of the day. Wants to write a book right before the election. I mean, that's what Harper Collins was showing right there. But here Democratic Congress member Jared Moskowitz calls out Comer and says, okay, Comer, you and the MAGA Republicans say you want to impeach President
Starting point is 00:15:10 Biden. Well then why don't I introduce the amendment? Why don't I introduce the impeachment? And then you could second it. And then let's do it. If this is what you want to do, show the American people. Let's go watch Moskowitz play the clip. Well, I mean, I'm just here to help him, right? And so I just think we should do it today. Let's just call forkowitz play the clip. Okay, we got nothing. So I want to, with my last couple minutes, show the American people that they're never going to impeach Joe Biden. It's never going to happen because they don't have the evidence. Okay, this is a show. It's all fake.
Starting point is 00:15:54 They just want to do these hearings. It's not leading to impeachment. They're lying to their base on Newsmax and Fox, leading these people to believe that they're going to eventually impeach the president. It's not going to happen at all, ever, period. They don't even have the votes, even if they had it in committee. They don't have the votes on the floor. They know that. They got members resigning rather than taking a vote on the fake faux impeachment. Just ask Ken Buck, who said the speaker ain't going gonna get me to take
Starting point is 00:16:25 an unconstitutional impeachment vote. I mean, boy. And then finally, let me show you this clip right here of Joe Scarborough. I love this clip right here from Morning Joe about James Comer. Play the clip. Comer had nothing on Hunter, looked stupid, and then decided he'd blame the deep state. Watch this. The American people can read the transcript and make a common sense decision and determination on whether or not the president's son was being truthful. Now what we're trying to do is go to the next phase, have the public hearing, bring all the associates in and let everyone see everyone's side of the story and make a determination. But at the end of the day,
Starting point is 00:17:05 we're going to try to hold this family accountable. We're going to try to have referrals. We're going to try to identify the people in the deep state that were part of the cover up. Because remember, in addition to the Biden financial crimes, we also have the cover up by the deep state actors. So we're trying to hold everyone accountable. We're trying to wrap this up. I mean, how stupid, Jen, does he think everybody is? Like he talks about the deep state. Their witnesses are international fugitives who illegally smuggle weapons and illegally smuggle oil to communist China from Iran, or to countries that consider the United States their enemies.
Starting point is 00:17:53 And then they got a guy that was their store witness who ended up lying, lying to the FBI. And it just keeps getting worse. Like Hunter Biden, you know, they keep talking badly about Hunter. I can now see when you read that transcript, they didn't want it to be public because he just keeps making fools of them. Folks, follow the money. James Comer's plans have been revealed. This is about a book deal for him. The hypocrisy, the projection, the confession.
