Speaker mccarthy greenlighting an Impeachment Inquiry of President Biden saying the house investigators have found a Culture Of Corruption around the family and that the American People deserve answers. Watch this. The allegations of abuse of power, obstruction and corruption. They warrant further investigation by the house of representatives. Thats why today i am directing our House Committee to open a formal Impeachment Inquiry in to president joe biden. This logical next step will give our committees the full power to gather all the facts and answers for the american public. Thats what we want to know, the answers. I believe the president would want to answer these questions and allegations as well. I do not make this decision lightly. Regardless of your party or who you voted for, these facts should concern all americans. Martha so the white house spokesman telling Fox Opening Impeachment despite zero evidence of wrong doing by President Biden is red meat for the extreme right wing
headquarters in new york, a lot of big stories today, including a stunning warning that stopped us in our tracks from the fbi director about what he saysed is an across-the-board rising terrorist threat level here in the united states. i see blinking lights everywhere i turn. martha: we ll hear more about that. he will we ll get more of what he said and explain what he s talking about there. it was stunning. first, a huge story to continue to tackle today. in recent years we have covered what many see on u.s. campuses as the deterioration of education, an active open scholarlish debate that were the foundation of these once great institutions. while that was happening, these universities spend a lot of time and effort of memo sending to champion safe spaces and zero tolerance for everything from trans rights to offensive dining like tacos. after having protected so many groups, it looks like there s a glaring hole in the policy. it doesn t appear to extend to jews post
appearances, it does seem to be chaotic and certainly the acting chief of staff s recent conduct whether it s the press conference or the more recent a temp to join the lawsuit can t sit well with other staffers including the white house counsel, i m sure. we have a white house that during the best of times wasn t too impressive to most outside observers in terms of its functionality and now as the president earns the worst possible thing that any president could face which is an inpeachment inquiry, dysfunction will not help the effort, but that appears to be what we have. sophia, it certainly appears to be what we have and perhaps the president, i guess, what he wants. he s the one calling the shots. forget the counsel. forget the chief of staff. what do thaw matter anyway? i think it sounds in any normal world absurd and yet often what he goes along and does ends up working even though nobody expects it to.
for any glee or comfort. this is something that is very solemn, this is something that is prayerful, and that we had to gather so much information to take us to this next step. again, this is a solemn occasion. nobody, i doubt anybody in this place or anybody that you know comes to congress to take the oath of office, comes to congress to impeach the president of the united states. unless his actions are jeopardizing honoring our oath of office. so i m you he grateful to our committee chairs for the careful and thoughtful investigation they have been doing as this inquiry has proceeded. and today, the house takes the next step faerd as we establish the procedures for open hearings conducted by the house intelligence committee so that the public can see the facts for
something so inappropriate that at least there should be an inquiry, which is all this vote is. but what you saw there was kevin mccarthy not willing to conseat that point, right? he essentially called the president s actions legitimate actions and the notion that the president still won t get due process in this procedure that the house will soon vote on. and we don t yet fully know where the american public will land on this. we see there has been some movement in terms of people being more open to removing this president through the impeachment process, certainly open to an impeachment inquiry itself. but we also see that in some of the swing states, right, that this might not be such a good idea. i talked to some democrats about this essentially saying, listen, are the politics good for you in terms of this and they said, listen, they don t necessarily care about the politics. this is something they want to put a marker on and say this kind of behavior that state
