chair. and i ve met with leader hakeem jeffries on this. this will be a very bipartisan committee. because i think it is very important, a number of reasons why i believe we have lost jobs to china, our intellectual property, because many times we don t speak with one voice from america. what i m trying to accomplish is get members on both sides of the aisle from all different perspectives, not just from a military, but from financial and agriculture, to bring those jobs back to america, to make sure that china is not within side america buying our farm land and others. get a level playing field for competition. we watched during covid for our medical supplies, them controlling 50% of the market. we watched from our medical pills and others what they control. this is something that is very not just disturbing to me, but for the future of america. i would say in this first five days is probably one of the most powerful things that we passed. the very bipartisan way a step forward, i w
another faux pas by the biden administration but treating law differently based upon your political beliefs. treats one president trump one way but treats president biden a whole different way. that is why we had to provide a new entity from our church-style to look after the weaponization of what has gone on. that you want an equal playing of the law to all americans. let him finish. do you see this matter, regarding the classified documents found in president biden s home going before that committee? it could. here is an individual that has been in an office for more than 40 years and sat on 60 minutes that was so concerned about president trump s documents locked in behind and now we find it just as the vice president keeping it for years out in the open in different locations. i do not think any american believes that justice should not be equal to all and we found
i think he would want to go back to the u.s. attorney in chicago first to see if the facts change this view before considering a special counsel because it is a big lift, as paula points out. guys, thank you so much. we re now going to jump over to capitol hill. we are going to jump in, kevin mccarthy is holding the first news conference since becoming speaker of the house. let s listen. well i find that the voters have elected george santos. if there is a concern, he will go through ethics. if there is something that is found, he will be dealt with in that manner. but they have a voice in this process. why not yes, ma am. [ inaudible question ] what other ways will i m glad you brought that up. i didn t mention the other thing we did. passed a very bipartisan bill with 146 democrats joining with us to create a new select committee on china. the congressman gala her will
