it s a busy morning. welcome back to cnn this morning. up next congressman james comber joins us as the party is warning of investigations into the biden administration. jennifer lawrence drawing criticism over a comment about female action heroes. what did she say? plus the new york times bracing for a major walk out that they haven t seen in decades. what is behind the move? with republicans set to take control of the house next year they are going to get control of the chambers committee assignments and with that power they re going to be launching investigations, everything is long from big tech, the border, covid origins, and biden and the family. so joining us now james comber. good morning and thank you for joining us. i want to talk about the investigative priorities. we want to talk about those
obligations as vice president but it will be a witch hunt, a witch hunt. there is information that could be used in the senate for legitimate oversight including as we saw with your package on rhonda scientists and the shipping of migrants, settle money used for that. the georgia senate election is a crucial one, i think we are warner has the edge, it will take a strong turnout by georgia democrats but i think 51 democratic senators as opposed to 50 is all the difference in the world for the next two years. again, they re already early voting, juanita, in some of the counties in georgia so it strikes me that the 2022 midterms are still very much happening. i just i wonder when you think about republicans in the fact that they may be launching investigations, -palooza, if you run on inflation if you have run on crime and that is the reason that voters believe
by this new generation of leadership, and i m going to be a part of getting them to succeed. congressman, for a very long time, when you re going into the elections and throughout donald trump s presidency, quite frankly, you were sounding the alarm we were very much trying to protect a safeguard democracy. that s what was on the ballot. i think the fact that so much of the election was so close in the congress, i want to talk to you about that. it will be a divided congress when the new term starts in the new year. republicans are taking over the house, and it sounds like they have a vendetta. they are already talking about launching investigations and impeachment proceedings. what does this mean for the biden agenda? at the same time, it said that what the majority of voters voted against? they were tired of this pendulum of basically two parties fighting, and wanted policy? what do you say to this? that s exactly what the voters were saying in the last
bit. i m honored to be able to serve with her over the next term. and excited to see what new leadership steps up. and there seems to be a lot of movement in supporting hakeem jeffries to success pelosi. where are you on that? is that what you are, as well? what do you think? yeah, definitely. and you know, representative jeffries will be the first black man, first person of color, to lead either caucus, in the history of our country. we have history afoot here. i m excited for the direction of the caucus. and we have a lot of work to do over the next two years. let me ask you this, your campaign was built around doing more to combat gun violence, climate change, protecting abortion rights. republicans have control of the house. the main focus at this point, appears to be on launching investigations into the biden administration. they ve mentioned hunt earp biden, for example. what are your thoughts on that?
kayleigh, i appreciate your perspective, too. remembering the victims as four beautiful kids. our heart goes out to them and their families. coming up, the white house is accusing republicans of launching investigations to what they called long debunked hunter biden conspiracy theories. we re going to debunk that. stay with us. veteran homeowners: gas, groceries, everything s costing more. if you need cash, call newday. you can borrow up to 100% of your home s value. veterans get more at newday usa. life. doesn t stop for diabetes. be ready for every moment, with glucerna. it s the number one doctor recommended brand that is scientifically designed to help manage your blood sugar. live every moment. glucerna. first psoriasis, then psoriatic arthritis. even walking was tough. i had to do something. i started cosentyx®. cosentyx can help you move, look, and feel better.
