Lisa Booth
Welcome to the Truth with Lisa Booth, where we try to uncover the truth for you. Today we've got a special guest, someone who knows a thing or two about uncovering the truth. He does it for a living. House oversight chairman James Comer. He's going to join us to unpack his relentless investigation into Joe Biden's mental fitness. We're also going to talk to him about the explosive dynamics of Jasmine Crockett being on his committee. What's that like? We're also going to talk about his pursuit, his continued pursuit of the auto pin of Joe Biden and trying to get answers from at least 16 former Biden White House officials who was running the country. And lastly, what does he think about the Justice Department telling us that Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself and that there is no client list? Did that news surprise him as much as it surprised a lot of conservatives? Surprised a lot of you listening? So stay tuned for the unfiltered truth with the guy who uncovers the truth for a living, Chairman James Comer. Well, Chairman Comer, I appreciate you making the time. You're, you're a busy man right now. You've got a few things going on, so we appreciate you making the time.
- [04:09]
Host
My pleasure.
- [04:10]
Lisa Booth
So before we get in to the substance of the Biden investigation, what is it like having Jasmine Crockett on the committee?
- [04:19]
Host
Well, you know, it's been quite the, the journey with Jasmine Crockett. She, she got on my committee, the oversight committee, when she first came here four years ago, and she walked in and she wore a suit and she was professional, and she, you know, talked like a professional trial attorney. And I was honestly really impressed. And over the four years, her whole behavior has changed. She's, you know, her, her dialect has changed and, you know, she's really kind of regressed as a professional member of Congress. That's, I guess I can say it without getting in trouble. But yeah, she's really changed a lot in the last four years. So it's, it's been an interesting journey to watch her demise in the U. S. House.
- [05:07]
Lisa Booth
Interesting. Do you think that's just, you know, she got a little bit taste of the attention and so she's kind of like putting it on for the cameras or.
- [05:15]
Host
Why, why do you think yeah, 1%. She's, you know, unfortunately there are a lot of members of Congress who are more interested in theatrics and, and performing as opposed to governing and representing their districts. And I think that's what she is. She's a, she's an actress and she wants to get on msnbc. And the only way she can do it is by, you know, showing out. She can't do it by, you know, proposing anything of substance are being of any type of value to the committee. She can only get on the MSNBC if she's yelling at Marjorie Taylor Greene or me.
- [05:52]
Lisa Booth
Although she was gunning for the ranking to be ranking member on the Oversight Committee. But Representative Robert Garcia got it instead. What can you tell us about him? Kind of, what do you expect those dynamics to look like and oversight moving forward?
- [06:07]
Host
I mean, you know, look, anybody's better than Jamie. You're asking. That's what I tell everybody. But I, I'm, I don't know how Garcia will be. I don't think he has any interest in oversight. I don't think he has any interest in trying to fulfill our duties as going after waste, fraud, abuse and mismanagement in the government. He knows the government is comprised of mostly Democrats. He wants to protect them. He has one objective, and that's to hurt the Trump agenda, hurt the president, go after the president, harass the president, and that's what he wants to do. And unfortunately, I don't think he'll be of much use. But I hope I'm wrong. I hope I'm proven wrong. There are good Democrats on that committee that I think would be good partners and they could represent their left wing values and maybe their liberal districts, but also try to govern and get the backs of the taxpayers. I mean, it shouldn't, it should be bipartisan to save taxpayer dollars. That should be bipartisan to go after waste front abuse. And there are some good Democrats on the committee. Kwame Mfume from Maryland comes to mind. He's a good member. You know, there are days when Ro Khanna is a, is a decent member and Raj Cristamorte is a decent member. But you know, when you look at the, the troublemakers and instigators on the Democrat side, you've got Jasmine Crockett and Garcia and Stansberry from New Mexico. They don't really want to, want to work with Republicans at all. They just want to attack and fight and be divisive. So it's unfortunate.
- [07:44]
Lisa Booth
Have you been surprised by sort of the resistance? Because obviously one of the big themes of the Trump administration, and one thing that he's really been focused on is trying to reduce some of that corruption, trying to reduce, you know, spending too much, trying to sort of rein in, you know, the government. And obviously, it's all been met with just a ton of resistance from the left. Have you been surprised by that at all, or is that just kind of like what you've gotten used to on Capitol Hill?
- [08:12]
Host
Unfortunately, it's what I've gotten used to. I've been in Congress for nine years, and I. It just gets worse every year. The Democrats get more partisan. They're obsessed with Donald Trump. I mean, Trump derangement syndrome is real, okay? It is. It is real as any virus that's ever spread across America. And they're. They're stage four on the Oversight Committee. You know, they have TDS at stage four. I mean, it's. That's all they think about is how they can come after Trump. And if. If a disaster happens in the midterm elections and the Democrats regain control of the House, the first thing they will do is, is try to impeach Donald Trump. I mean it. And they won. I mean, they. They could impeach him in the House. The Senate's never going to convict because, you know, impeachment. The Democrats saturated impeachment, ruined impeachment, and there will probably never be anyone impeached now because of how. How they abused that part of the system that was there for checks and ballots. But the bottom line is, all the Democrat base wants to see is, is Democrats go after Trump. I don't see much concern out there from Democrats that show up at events to protest me. They're not protesting because I'm not doing enough to save taxpayer dollars or I'm not doing enough to grow the economy, or I'm not doing enough to reduce crime. They're always complaining I'm not doing enough to investigate Donald Trump. I mean, it's all about Trump. And I think that's what the Democrats, not just on the House Oversight Committee, but the Democrats in the whole U.S. house of Representatives. That's what they represent. A base that just wants to see the Trump agenda stopped and Donald Trump destroyed. That's all they want.
- [10:00]
Lisa Booth
Yeah. I'm trying to think throughout history, like, if there's been a time where an entire party's sole identity is just hating one person, you know, like, I can't.
- [10:13]
Host
Think of one, and I'm a student of political history, but I will tell you, that is their agenda. What, you know, you Asked what Republicans are fighting for. We're trying to reduce spending. That's what part of the big beautiful bill was. We're trying to grow the economy. We reduce taxes. You know, that's, we secured the border. We want to deport the criminal illegals. We want to put people in jail who commit crimes and keep them in jail for public safety. That's the Republican agenda. What is the Democrat agenda? Open borders, you know, an economy built on government subsidies and safety nets and destroy the Trump agenda. I mean, whatever Trump's for, the Democrats are against. Whatever Trump's against, the Democrats are for. It's all about Donald Trump. Donald Trump is all the Democrats focus on in Congress. Just how can they do something to stop Trump or hurt Trump or embarrass Trump or antagonize Trump?
- [11:16]
Lisa Booth
Yeah, no, it's, it's, it's, you know, like when Trump says I could cure cancer and they would find a reason to be against it. I really do think that's actually true, sadly. I, I wanted to dig into, because obviously one big thing you guys are focused on right now is taking a look at Joe Biden and his mental acuity and just very avid various avenues related to that. So kind of just break it down for the audience. You know, what are you trying to get to the bottom of and sort of what are the different avenues that you're exploring?
- [11:48]
Host
Well, we brought the first doctor in, the head doctor of the White House physician. And we wanted, the first question we asked was, were you ever told to lie about Joe Biden's health? That's a simple question. And he fled the Fifth Amendment. The second question was, did you ever see anything that would lead you to believe Joe Biden wasn't able to fulfill his duties as President, United States? Once again, he pled the fifth Amendment. So the, the doctor didn't want to self incriminate himself for whatever reason on some pretty basic questions that shouldn't have been very hard to answer, considering the doctor always gave reports saying that, that Joe Biden was in perfect health. The reason we want to know whether he was mentally fit to be president was somebody used that auto pin an awful lot. For whatever reason, Joe Biden couldn't or, or wasn't around to sign his name on a document. And we want to know, is it because they just put him in the corner? He wasn't able. They just went ahead and covered without him because they knew they could. I mean, we want to know, did Joe Biden first of all give the authority to sign his name on all these pardons and executive orders that were done at the end of the administration? And secondly, was he able to comprehend what he was giving the staff the authority to sign? And some of these are pretty big executive orders dealing with energy policy, dealing with allowing the criminal illegals to stay over here, making it even more difficult to fire worthless government employees, and the end government programs. I mean, all the stuff they did at the end was to Trump proof this administration, and they were all done by executive order signed by an auto pin. At a time when Joe Biden never had a press conference on the executive order. He never answered any questions. He didn't even issue statements. And in many of the days when they used the auto pin, he was in the White House, supposedly. So, you know, this is an important investigation because I think a lot of this stuff that that was signed with the auto pin could be declared void in court, and that's a big deal for the Trump administration.
- [14:06]
Lisa Booth
Well, you know, particularly when you look at, you know, some of the pardons that were given, whether it's Millie or Fauci or even his own son Hunter, you know, he did that interview with the New York Times. Like, what went through your mind when you found out about this? It's like, I don't know if he just. He just has, like, terrible political instincts. But you would think at a time when the Oversight Committee, when you guys are running this investigation, like, why add fuel to it? You know, like, were you, like, thank you, or, you know, what were you thinking when you. You sort of read this interview that he did with the New York Times, and why do you think he gave the interview?
- [14:46]
Host
I think that somebody in his camp said, okay, this is getting out of control. We need to let Joe Biden sit down with a friendly reporter with a friendly publication. And all Joe had to do is tell him he knew what was going on. And the course. The New York Times has defended Biden, and they've attacked me for having the audacity to investigate Joe Biden. And they asked him, did you know about every single pardon? Did you authorize every single pardon? He's like, well, no. I mean, that was a lot of pardons. I mean, I gave the staff the authority to go through and sign my name on those pardons. That's illegal. The Constitution does not grant the president the authority to authorize someone to make a decision and use his signature on whether or not the pardon someone. When you think about this pardon process, the pardon process is like impeachment. It's supposed to be the last check and balance, the last resort if all else fails. So you got all these people, many of whom were prosecuted, prosecutors spent years prosecuting these cases. They spent, you know, thousands and thousands of taxpayer dollars. Juries spent, you know, time away from their families to make decisions to convict people. And then some staffer is given the authority by Joe Biden apparently, who apparently was, you know, according to him, of sound mental state. Say you, you decide on whether or not we need to overrule all this Stu. You need to decide whether we need to overrule all these prosecutors and all these juries and all this stuff. And I'm just going to sit on the beach and stare at the, at the ocean and the sunset. I mean, that it's, it's preposterous. And the interview Joe Biden gave with the New York Times only gave more evidence to the fact that I think all of these pardons and executive orders done in the last, especially from the time Joe Biden was kicked off the ticket by Obama or whoever till the end, I think they should be deemed void in a court of law.

Lisa Booth
Why do you think reporters are so against you guys trying to get to the bottom of this? Because I remember after the disastro debate between Joe Biden and, you know, then, you know, former President Trump at the time, obviously President Trump now, but the media, they were the ones sort of holding, you know, Kareem Jean Pierre feet to the fire at a, you know, press conference, questioning, well, like, why isn't o' Connor available for questions like why won't he release the details of the Met the, you know, the last health memo, Right? So like they were the ones who were getting after, right? So it's like, why, why was it okay for them to ask those questions then, but it's not okay for you guys to be asking these questions now.
- [22:24]
Host
They were asking the questions at the point when they saw that the curtain had been removed and the American people saw Joe Biden at that particular moment wasn't mentally fit to serve for four more years and he was not going to win the election, which meant Trump was going to win the election. That's when the media pivoted and that's when whoever's leading the Democrat Party, George Soros or Barack Obama, said, all right, now you all can turn on Joe till he gets out of the race. And once he gets out of the race, once he finally got out of the race, then the media said, oh, he's going to be remembered as a great statesman. You know, they tried to, to create this false narrative that Joe Biden's a great president, that he, he realized that he needed to pass the torch to a female and all, you know, a minority and all this other stuff, you know, the public didn't buy it and everything that, that just look at what all the mainstream media has been proven wrong on. They've Been proven wrong on the Russia gate. That was a hoax. That is a fact now. But the media went all in on it. They were proved that the Hunter Biden laptop was not Russian disinformation. It was really Hunter Biden's laptop. They've proven that a lot of what we said in the beginning about COVID originating from a lab in Wuhan was correct. Even though they called us conspiracy theories, a lot of our concerns about virus, about vaccines have been proven to be correct. All the stuff that they, you know, virtual learning, we said was going to ruin a generation of school children. But they went, you know, they said, no, we were wrong and we were putting kids in danger. Even though no kids, hardly anywhere died of COVID I mean, it was not even an issue with school age children. You know, the mask, they went all in. Anyone that didn't wear a mask should be placed in alligator Alcatraz if it had been there at that time. So much of what they went all in on attacking conservatives has been debunked. And I just think that they're getting sick of being proven wrong. And they just, you know, draw a line in the sand and try to fight and fight and fight, but it's a losing battle for them.
- [24:29]
Lisa Booth
At what point do you think Joe Biden started losing his marbles? Because I believe it was in the original sin book. I think it was saying that, like, even in 2019, he was forgetting, like a staffer that had been with him since like the 1980. I'm like remembering this off the cuff, but I think it was like night that had been with him since like the 1980s, right? Like, so basically a family member, he would like, you know, botched his name or whatever. So it's like, at what point? Like, because remember in 2020, he ran the basement campaign, right? And everyone said, oh, that was just because of COVID He's trying to be safe. But like, was it Covid or was he already kind of like starting to lose it and they're trying to cover it up? Like, at what point do you think he started to lose it?
- [25:10]
Host
I think that it really escalated the last two years of his administration and the shame and the crime and all this. One of many crimes, but the shame is that these people wanted him to run for four more years and they had him. They blocked anyone from running. They could have had Robert F. Kennedy be their nominee and that might have been a different race. You know, maybe Gavin Newsom ran. That might have been a different race. But no, the, the Biden insider said no, we're going to fix it where Robert Kennedy can't get on the ballot. We've, we've talked Newsom out of running and, you know, they cleared the field for Joe Biden and they knew, they knew that, that he wasn't in. The possibility of him being able to be president for four more years was virtually zero. You know, there's, there's rumors. If you go back to Joe Biden and do an interview when he said he had cancer and then the White House came out and said, no, he misspoke. He misspoke. How do you misspeak about cancer? How do you misspeak and say you have cancer and you don't? Now what we've learned about is prostate cancer. It's very likely. And we were going to ask that question to the doc, Dr. O', Connor, but he kept playing the, the fifth and it was obvious he wasn't going to answer any questions. It's very possible he had cancer two years into his administration and they lied about it, which, you know, if you lie about cancer, that's, that's bad. But then you seek to run for re election again and you're Joe Biden's age and mental capacity. I mean, this is a terrible group. It shows me, you know, in my opinion, you had three or four people calling the shots and, and they, I mean, heck, they were the. Making executive orders and pardoning people and, and, you know, doing whatever, who knows what with arms and trade agreements and everything else and, and flying on Air Force One and eating fine at the White House and, you know, no accountability. They didn't have to answer to anyone. They didn't have to do any press conferences. They, they just, you know, poor old Joe out here. If you, if Republicans are picking on him, they're going to make old people mad. They're picking on old people. I mean, that was kind of the narrative that they would have the, the press say. And I just think every one of these people need to be trotted in for deposition, which we're doing. And if they keep pleading the Fifth, I mean, I think that validates everything that, that I just said in this interview about Joe Biden wasn't mentally able to make those decisions. And those staffers did it. They didn't have the authority to do it.
- [27:53]
Lisa Booth
So who were those three to four people then? So who, who was running the country?
- [27:58]
Host
Well, we've got more people coming in, and I'm going to be careful what I say here, but I mean, I think a lot of people, I Mean.
- [28:03]
Lisa Booth
You don't have to be, but I understand why you would want.
- [28:05]
Host
Yeah, yeah. Well, you can look at who the more people we're bringing in, who we think are those people, we're starting at the bottom, and the, the ones that we get to at the end, I think are at the top of the pyramid. But certainly Ron Klang was the chief of staff. He certainly had a lot of influence. And I believe you're going to see that both Jill Biden and Hunter Biden were making a lot of big decisions down the stretch. So we'll see what these other people say in their depositions. The first interview or two we did was fairly substantive, but I think now the media and the Democrat machine has told everybody to just plead the Fifth and hope this goes away.
- [28:51]
Lisa Booth
Well, it's interesting, too, because I remember Kevin O', Connor, I think it was in 2019, had said that Biden was being treated for an enlarged prostate, explicitly stated that it wasn't cancer. But, you know, it's, you know, who knows who's telling the truth at what point and when he happened to get it. So how far are you willing to take this? You know, if you got people like Kevin o' Connor who, you know, come they plead the Fifth, refuse to answer questions, how do you compel more information from them? And like, how far are you willing to take this?
- [29:22]
Host
We'll go as far as the trail leads. We're going to Ron Klain, we're going to go to the highest level staffers. If they implicate Biden family members, we'll bring them in. If not, then we'll issue the report. We're going to do all we can and turn it over to the attorney General. And I think the attorney General then will have the basis to do things like perhaps grant immunity and things like that if she sees fit. And hopefully she will. Because, look, I don't think some of these executive orders should, should be the rule of the land, because they did. I mean, if, if the President, United States cannot, while he's in the White House, sign his name on one line, then, then I don't think that should be the case. Now, look, everybody uses, I've been saying this for every member of Congress, every business person uses an Adobe signature signature on correspondence. They use an auto pin on little, you know, certificates of achievement and certificates of recognition and things like that. But anything pertaining to the law, anything that is legal, you have to sign. If you do a real estate transaction that's legal, you have to sign. And usually there's a notary public. When I sign subpoenas, I have to fly up here and sign one piece of paper and then go back to Kentucky. You know, we, we have to sign legal documents. A pardon is as big a legal document as I can think because you're telling the whole judicial system, no, you're wrong. I'm going to overrule you. An executive order is a major legal document that's bypassing Congress and going above Congress if the president of the United States isn't able to sign that document. You know, Obama used an auto pin once on an executive order. He was in another country. Joe Biden was in the White House. In the White House. And you know, if you do it once or twice, that's what he did thousands of times, especially towards the end of the administration. And I think it is suspicious. And you do wonder, was Joe Biden the one doing that or was it, or was it a staff acting, you know, on their own?

The Democrats under Joe Biden or the Biden administration rather sent Steve Bannon to jail, Peter Navarro to jail for refusing to comply with subpoenas. Do you think that Republicans and the Trump administration are willing to go that far with some of these people?
- [36:33]
Host
I think so. But you know, these people that we've subpoenaed are coming in pleading the Fifth and you have, they have the constitutional right to do that. Then you get into the process of, well, can you, I know there's some people on, on conservative networks and they saying, well, well, comer needs to grant him immunity. Well, here's the process. To grant immunity, we have to have a committee vote in the Oversight Committee and it has to get a two thirds vote, which means Democrats will have to vote with Republicans to grant immunity to all these Biden staffers that, that are going to plead the Fifth Amendment to avoid self incrimination. I don't think we're going to get many Democrats. We'll probably try and see, and I hope I'm wrong, but again, the Democrats aren't interested in exposing any corruption in the, in the Biden administration. But Pam Bondi's got a whole lot more power than, than a congressional committee does. What I tell people we're going to investigate, we're going to, we've already gotten a ton of information. I think our investigations led to the New York Times interview with Joe Biden where he admitted guilt. I mean, that, that is, he admitted wrongdoing. I mean, he's like, well, I didn't see them all. I gave the staff the authority to do that. That is illegal, that there's nowhere in the law or the Constitution that that gives the president the authority to delegate to a staffer. Yeah, you can pardon whoever you want. I mean, that I would go further and say the Department of Justice should look at some of those staffers that were involved in the pardon to see, well, did you have any conflicts of interest here? Were you related? Any of them? Maybe they look at their bank accounts. Did you have anything pop into your account? I don't know. I don't know if they did or not. And I probably don't have the resources or the time to investigate that, but somebody probably should. I mean, there's a lot of corruption that could take place. If you've got a president that's incapacitated and he's got some staffers running around signing executive orders and pardoning people from prison, I mean, that's a. That's a big deal, you know.

And before we go, you know, the Justice Department put out a short memo saying that, you know, Jeffrey Epstein did, in fact, kill himself and that there were. There was no client list. It, you know, surprised a lot of conservatives who thought otherwise. Were you surprised by that? And are you kind of satisfied with what we've been told so far, or what are your thoughts about, you know, this is. All this has taken place.
- [39:04]
Host
This is really interesting to me. I'll say, because I went on, I think it was Benny Johnson show several months ago, and I said that I didn't think there was an Epstein list. And Pam Bondi then was interviewed and she laughed and she said, oh, no, no, he's wrong, Comer's wrong. Just stay tuned. And then she did an interview the next day on either Hannity or Jesse Waters and said she had the Epstein list. It was on her desk and it was really bad. Well, now she's come out and said it. There wasn't a list. I go back to what I said before this ever became an issue. I don't think that the last administration left anything lying around that would incriminate them. Now, I'm not criticizing the Trump administration. I just, I've said all along, I don't think there's a list. I think. I think there, there should be a list, but I wouldn't put it past the last administration to have destroyed the list. So. So I said this a long time ago, and Bondi kind of. I'm not gonna say she bit my head off, but she laughed it off what I said. And, you know, essentially said I wasn't being truthful. I mean, I pretty much stand by what I said. We'll see if she stands by what she said. So I'm not saying she covered anything up. I've just always believed there wasn't a list because I don't trust anyone in the deep state. So. So you have to be under the mindset, okay, if, if the, the federal government was involved in spying on Epstein island and allowing kids to be sex trafficked and things like that into blackmail the most influential people in the world. And they were doing that, which is probably illegal, that, you know, that that was, they didn't do anything about it. And then they're just going to say, oh, Donald Trump's going to be president. Now we'll just leave this, leave all these tapes in the filing cabinet. Leave this list in the filing cabinet for the Trump administration. They're not going, they're gonna, they're gonna shred and destroy and do like Hillary did with her phone and computer. They're gonna get mallets out and be beating the crap out of it. So that's what I said. And, you know, I, I felt like Bondi kind of fired on me and, and, you know, here we are. So we'll see. History will tell.
