[barking] good evening to our viewers in the west, and thank you for joining us on this tuesday night. We begin with Breaking News right here In Washington and the Impeachment Inquiry of President Biden. Speaker of the house Kevin Mccarthy claims house investigators have uncovered a Culture Of Corruption surrounding the president and his family that demands further review. The white house called todays actions politically motivated and said republicans have produced no evidence of wrongdoing. Now, this is taking place as mccarthy is facing Mounting Pressure from the right wing of his own party, along with a deadline to pass a Spending Bill before october 1st, in order to avoid a government shutdown. Now, all of this and the 2024 president ial election is just around the corner. We have a lot of news to get to tonight, and cbss nancy cordes will start us off from the white house. Good evening, nancy. Reporter good evening, norah. This is a significant escalation in the g. O. P. Impeachment effort and tonight, the House Speaker is urging President Biden to cooperate with this new inquiry. The white house insists the facts dont justify this move, and a number of republicans appear to agree. Today, i am directing our House Committee to open a formal Impeachment Inquiry into president joe biden. Reporter the announcement was a reversal for House SpeakerKevin Mccarthy, who just two weeks ago said he would not launch an Impeachment Inquiry unless he had the votes for it. We will go wherever the evidence takes us. Reporter but mccarthy was facing Mounting Pressure from conservatives, who threatened to sink his speakership if he didnt act. Mr. Speaker, you are out of compliance with the agreement that allowed you to assume this role. Reporter to lead the new inquiry, mccarthy tapped three house chairs, who have already been probing the biden familys foreign business dealings. A White House Spokesman noted today, House Republicans have been investigating the president for nine months, and they have turned up no evidence of wrongdoing. Democratic leader chuck schumer. I think the Impeachment Inquiry is absurd. The American People want us to do something that will make their lives better. Reporter back in 2019, mccarthy warned his predecessor, nancy pelosi, that launching an Impeachment Inquiry into President Trump without holding a vote first would create a process completely devoid of any merit or legitimacy. But with his party divided, any vote today would likely have failed. Right now, im not convinced that that evidence exists. Reporter in the senate, several republicans were skeptical today that the inquiry would go anywhere. But house conservatives argue the move will give them access to key Family Documents they dont have now. There has not been a single subpoena to a Hunter Biden Bank account or a joe biden bank account. Until an Impeachment Inquiry commences, that is not a jurisdictional possibility. Reporter a white house official we spoke to today pointed out that the house has actually already subpoenaed and received 12,000 pages of bank records. And without a formal vote, its not clear that simply announcing this inquiry will give the house more authority to investigate than it had already. Norah . Norah thats interesting.

We turn now to the biggest Antitrust Case in nearly a quartercentury. The Department Of Justice and more than a dozen states are accusing google of being a dominating monopoly and illegally shutting out rival Search Engines. Cbss jo ling kent reports the trial could completely change the way that big tech does business with consumers. Reporter today, in Federal CourtIn Washington, google on defense. The Justice Department is accusing the company of monopolistic behavior, alleging it abused its power by paying 10 billion a year to be the default Search Engine on apples iphones, samsung galaxies, and beyond, unfairly keeping the competition, like microsoft, bing, and duck duck go, at bay. The doj says those deals cemented googles overall dominance, creating a Feedback Loop that always turns to googles advantage. Te tech giant hit back, saying the government is trying to limit their ability to do business. Googles chief legal officer kent walker. Is google breaking the law here . No, we are not. We believe that people use google because it is helpful. You have never seen more choice, whether that is tiktok or reddit or amazon or expedia. Reporter would you ever change . To where . What else is there . Reporter google claims it is easy t change the default search on your phone, but according to the government, Internet Users go to google for nearly 90 of all searches in the u. S. Im googling everything. Reporter how often are you googling stuff on your phone . Like, 30 times. Like, every day, all the time. Reporter and critics say that very popularity is what makes it nearly impossible for smaller players to actually compete. So the longer they can hang on to that, the more dominance they have and their ability to really keep out other companies. Reporter now, if google were to lose, it could face penalties or possibly be broken up, and other Tech Companies like amazon and meta, the Parent Company of facebook, could be forced to change the way they do business, too, but we are going to wait and see. This trial is expected to last about ten weeks, norah. Norah jo ling kent, thank you, and welcome to cbs news. Thank you. Norah tonight, north koreas reclusive kim jong un is in russia after arriving on an armored train for a rare meeting between two dictators. Trading weapons is at the top of their agenda. The alliance between the two american adversaries is one of many issues facing whoever wins the 2024 president ial campaign. In our series, america decides, we sat down with republican Governor Ron Desantis to talk first about foreign policy. Russia wants more weapons to send to ukraine. If putin gives the north koreans advanced Nuclear Technologies in return, how would you respond to that threat . Well, we have to obviously keep kim jong un in a box. This is a very irrational individual. He is prone, perhaps, to do irrational things, and so we will work to put him in a box and to keep the pressure on kim jong un. Norah just last week, kim jong un launched a new submarine, which north korea claims has Nuclear Attack capabilities. Would you, as commander in chief, authorize a preemptive strike against the north koreans . Yes. If you knew there was definitely someone was about to launch a missile at you, of course you would take action to prevent and protect your people, but that would require a certain amount of evidentiary threshold. I dont think you just go willynilly. Norah we met ron desantis in new york after he visited with 9 11 families. The Terror Attacks inspired him to join the u. S. Navy. Today, he believes china is our Top National Security threat. We dont want a war with pree war is through strength and having we want to prevent a war with china. I think the way you prevent the war is through strength and having a strong military. Norah if china invades taiwan, would you commit u. S. Military forces to defend taiwan . Taiwan is an ally. I have been very clear on that. We have very longstanding u. S. Policy about how we project our actions and intentions regarding taiwan, you will see a continuity of that with me as president. Norah one place where desantis wants to use u. S. Troops is on the border. Would you commit u. S. Troops to taking out these mexican cartels . We are going to lean in, and we are going to defend our country. And so i was at the border in arizona, so there was one part where there was a stretch of all, these guys are working on the base of the wall, im like, what are you doing . Theyre like, we are preparing it. What happened . The cartels can cut through. These are big steel beams and they are cutting through and yet they are being allowed to come into our country. Theyve got back packs on with fentanyl and all of this stuff, so in those situations, yes, well have Deadly Force Authorized. Norah would you send missiles into mexico . We would use all available the tactics, i think, are, can be debated. If you have something you want to accomplish, people would brief you on the different ways to be able to do it, so that would be dependent on the situation, but i think norah launching Military Forces into mexico is a much different standard, thats why im asking the question.
