trey: good evening and thank you for joining us i'm trey gowdy. it is "sunday night in america". president joe biden's impeachment inquiry begins thursday the first public hearing in the house will focus on the constitutional and legal question surrounded the presidents alleged involvement corruption and abuse of public office. hunter biden on the other hand has garnered significant attention and a couple of indictments over the past couple of years. it was famously paid for board work in an area on which he knew nothing and his artwork with art is the right word brought much more than market value. hunter biden could not be impeached. prosecuted but not impeached. his father on the other hand can be impeached but not prosecuted. all of which depends on the evidence of allegations of propriety can be f proven. house republicans are looking for evidence and plan to subpoena the bank records of hunter and james biden. will the committee seek documents from the president himself? and what is in the corporate records and bank statements and tax returns? james comer is the chairman of the house oversight committee from the great state of kentucky and he joins us now. thank you for joining us. you were looking from unredacted e-mails from national archives if memory serves, did you get them and are you satisfied with what you got? >> there are 5200 e-mails that joe biden used in communication with a former fashion with the government. we identified this now we want the e-mails and the unredacted version. the national archive sent 14 of the 5200 e-mails yesterday and i'm sure you're going to be surprised to hear this. the 14 did not state anything but the media as soon as we got the e-mail, the 14 out of 5200 said this is a big nothing burger. this is another example of the biden white house coordinating to the media to pay a false narrative. were not satisfied with 14 out of 5200 e-mails. we expect all 5200 e-mails and that's why we had to go deep to the impeachment inquiry route to try to speed the process up from where the government agencies are stonewalling and obstructing our investigation. >> chairman you're going to need to give me a second to restart my heart. i was shocked to hear the d.c. media was not interested in a public investigation. equipment tax returns, whatever evidence do you need that you currently do not have. we subpoenaed the bank records from the shell companies. the problem the biden family has in the president has his families received over $20 million from foreign nationals. the biden family in the white house cannot say one thing that this family did to receive the $20 million. that's a big red flag with every american. next we want to see the personal bank records because the way the bidens operated is joe biden set up these meetings and phone calls with the foreign nationals who were all bad people needing some type of assistance from united states government, their being investigated for corruption and get sweetheart deals once the meetings took place joe biden communicated with all of them then the wires started transferring from those countries to the shell companies. according to the banks the bidens would launder the money from the shell companies to nine different biden family members to incremental payments. we want to know what happened with the money once they received by the bidens in their personal account. we did what we said we followed the money from romania and china to the biden shell companies to the biden individually now were looking at the biden individual personal bank records and we want to see where we spent that money. if you look at the laptop there are many instances with people like eric sherwood communicated with hunter biden this bill is due for your dad how are you going to pay for. we want to see if hunter biden was paying for things of value for joe biden. >> have you or will you seek the president's own bank records. the biden family members asking for the presidents records. i assume you have a return already, other records asking from the president himself may ratchet things up a bit. have you done and do you plan to do it. >> it's looking like were getting be asking for his bank records. all roads lead to joe biden from day one this is his investigation and not his son his son is the key central figure we believe he was a front man. reverting proven that this family was influence peddling the media and the biden said that was not true. now they're disputing that, they're moving the goalpost and maybe the president son was selling the illusion of access. joe biden never benefited personally from that. that's why investigation is now because overwhelming evidence that would point to the fact that joe biden was receiving benefits from his family influence peddling team and that we continue to investigate. >> i want you to remember something-year-old colleague from south carolina. the d.c. media never met republican investigation that should start never met a democrat investigation that should end. is not a level playing field where you are working. thank you for joining is not as nice. attorney general merrick garland want you to believe d.o.j. does not have two tears of justice. >> our job is not to take orders from the president from congress or from anyone else about who or what they criminally investigate. as the president himself has said and i reaffirmed today i am not the president's lawyer. i will add i am not congress is prosecuted. >> i guess that might be easier to believe that d.o.j. had not tried to put a former nebraska congressman jeff fortenberry a huggers man in federal prison but did not charge to prosecute former masses under massachusetts rachel rollins a democrat for much work reaches conduct. and if we had any idea what was happy with the investigation and classified material needed to joe biden's house. if the attorney general is trying to convince us the d.o.j. is about politics. i assure him the ship set sail a long time ago and currently resides at the bottom of the ocean. joining us mike johnson from the great state of louisiana. thank you so much for joining us. the other birdseye and you set up top with the seniors are more people sit what did you learn from ag garland's appearance that you did not know before they got there. >> we did not learn much of anything. great to be with you i was the leadoff and our five-hour hearing i went straight to the heart of the matter to ask important for questions about the two-tiered system of justice and why the american people had seven out of ten americans with a negative view of the department of justice under his leadership. he was evasive and smug. he memorizes for talking points and repeat them over and over. you know the reason for that, he believes he can act with impunity and there's no real accountability. he and mayorkas then made a mockery of our immigration system, they know that we cannot touch them because our energy is focused on the impeachment inquiry of the president himself so they go through these hearings and they don't give us any answers at all. >> like any good lawyer you have anticipated my next question whether or not you get the sense that he understands the half the country really believes his department is partisan. does he not understand it or agree with her. we are in dangerous times and half the country has 0 confidence in his department. does he appreciate that. >> i think he appreciates it but i'm not sure he cares and inputs on the air above the fray and the neutral party in the department of justice of years before when people can trust her system but they don't anymore and was so many examples that you cited just a couple classified document scandal they see the aggressive prosecution of former president trump and they see the same department of justice will walking to give special treatment to hunter biden they see the weaponize the permit of justice is labeled concerned parents as domestic terrorist and they see them go after and want to spy on catholics in their own churches and they have federal courts affirming what we do intuitively and this is colluding with big tech before the last election cycle to center in silence conservative viewpoints online. it's completely out of control. he sits before us and goes to the hearings as if he is not accountable. it's really shameful and so infuriating. you been there another not giving you answers. it's one of the most frustrating exercises of my life but we have to do is her duty to give oversight. >> i'm going to ask you a tough question. you are smart lawyer. we had democrat ag's and presidents to consider the role to be a wing man. we've republican presidency want their ag to defend them more and go after their enemies more. give us some help of what an ideal attorney general and mike johnson's eyes look like. what are the qualities you would look for if you were ever the president and you may be one day. >> i will appoint trey gowdy as the attorney general. we need somebody to understand the founding principles of our country in somebody who actually believes in the rule of law and understands that is one of the bases of maintaining a constitutional republic people look to the department of justice to be a neutral party. they want to believe that lady justice has a blindfold on. we have equal justice under the law. you and i both know when the pandora box is open and the people decide i observing the facts and that justice is not blinded to two-tiered system, they give up on it and you can't maintain a constitutional republic like that. we need someone in the position who can extol the virtues and practice it every day. that's not what we have a merrick garland and he's a political hack i hate to say and take no pleasure but that's what the faction was. >> congressman mike johnson from the great state of louisiana. thank you for joining us. >> great to be with you. >> coming out former vice president mike pence with a preview of the next week's presidential primary debate. democrats may have a problem and he's

stage to persuade voters. happens next wednesday septemben library in california with the debate hosted by fox business and univision the stage must be crowded as the qualifications get a little more exacting. but former mike pence will be there. he's been traveling the country detailing his pro-family strategy to combat a decline of marriages and birth rates in the united states. in the family's ultimate subunit of her country, our culture what role does government play in promoting family. all of this has increasingly americans are losing confidence in government and conduct under government parties. two thirds feel exhausted. think about politics and in the two words, the most commonly used to describe the current state of politics are divisive and corrupt. one has to wonder the man whose next week debate site is built and who honors and fair would be in the political culture. mike pence was former governor, vice president of the united states in the joint does not. welcome mr. vice president. it is so nice to see you again. tell us about your pro-family agenda and how much is executive, legislative or simply using the bully pulpit of the presidency. >> thank you for having me on sunday night. it is good to be with you. i am someone who believes everything in america starts with faith and family. and everything to preserve the vitality of religious freedom in america is critical. making it more possible for more americans to live on one income if they so choose it was only about 20 years ago that one spouse and family could pay all their bills on 40 weeks now your lucky and more families raising children if they so desire and make it possible for one parent to be home. i'm a big believer and forever families with adoption. the average private adoption in america cost about what the average income of an america is every year. i would like to look for ways that we can create incentives in the tax code that literally reduce the cost to 0 for every american family and all along the way finding a way to encourage and support families by promoting economic policies that will defeat the failed bidenomics record. families are struggling under inflation risen by 17% and since we left office to work on energy has caused gasoline prices to go up 60%. one family after another is in their family budgets are struggling. get this economy moving again. promote policies that will encourage and strengthen families. i believe it's a wellspring of american strength. >> mr. vice president i think there's more than enough conflict in our culture today i'm not a huge fan of conflict. i'm a big fan of contrast. i think we need contrast. here are the three categories, policies, performance and personality or electability, what distinguishes you from the others that will be on the debate stage or one that will not be on the debate stage in the three areas. policy performance with the ability to do it and personality and electability. >> i say with great humility we served in congress as the governor of indiana and vice president for 40 years i'm incredibly proud of the record of the trump pence administration. i think i'm the most qualified but also the most consistent conservative in this race. i get to the policy issue. when donald trump ran in 2016 he promised the government as a conservative and he tapped me to be his running mate. to gay enter today we run as conservatives we builder military providing american leadership in the world and of course appointed three of the conservatives to the court that overturned roe v. wade and give america a new beginning for life. what i want people to know while we govern as conservatives during our years, donald trump makes no such promise today and he and many of its imitators in this race are walking away from america's commitment of fiscal responsibility and reform walking away from american leadership in the world. in a few days ago millions of americans are the president decide to heartbeat bill passed in florida and other states around the country is a terrible mistake. i want people to know i'm going to stand where i've always stood where i stand on the broad base conservative agenda that is not only been a pathway of victory for the republican party but a pathway toward prosperity and security for the american people. >> mr. vice president i had the pleasure of sitting in front of you on the house judiciary committee. i learned a lot about preparation and a lot of good questions about learned a lot about integrity sitting in front of you. thank you for joining us on a sunday night, best of luck to you at the reagan library. >> think you great to be with you. trey: on the democrat side president biden is facing questions about agent vitality and electability from within his own party. what used to be a whisper is easier to hear as democrats use a 2024 ticket without the income that president on it. kevin walling is a biden surrogate and he joint does not. welcome kevin. history is not replete with instances of people on either side or any line of work giving up power. people usually do not jump have to be pushed is there any chance with your judgment the set i had a great career long career, two terms as vice president one term as vice president and that's enough. >> good evening is good to be with you. it's really tough you been on air force one. it's really tough to give up the aircraft marine one and the trappings of the presidency and what you can do in the job. the president has said he's ready for another term to hit the campaign trail take the case to the republicans he talked early on about being a transitional president. one of the things he considered is likely donald trump is the republican nominee. i think the president sees himself as the few people that they can actually defeat donald trump in the second rematch. that is the motivating factor for him taking the fight to donald trump just over a year from now. >> let me ask you about that. you may have more objectivity than the president. do you believe that president biden is only democrat that could be former president trump if he were the nominee. you know more about polling but it looks like biden's numbers are not great. president trump numbers are not great. is there no democrat without 50 years of baggage that would do well in a head-to-head with former president trump? >> it is a great question i think we have a good bench if you look at the cabinet secretaries pete buttigieg, romano, josh schapiro, gretchen whitmer, gavin newsom and the vice president. judging from the track record of history, this administration that be in the covenant president is been really tough to be in income the president and only happens a few times in recent memory anyone 7 million more votes than the president donald trump in 2020. if history is any guide we seen the special elections in the midterm election a year ago that really went broke for the democrats especially in the senate. republicans only picked up five seats, he's gaining on the fact that he defeated the guy once he could do it again and the trends in the right direction for democrats in the special election in the midterms. >> i try to put politics aside, it's hard to do but i try to put it aside to look at it from a human interest and point. being president is arguably the hardest job on earth. i'm not a doctor in a urologist. it just looks like the combination of the job and his age are taking a toll. if you were to conclude either great career and it's enough. when would he need to make that decision to give everyone an equal chance to be the nominee. what is the date by which settings to be done. >> obviously before the convention yet filing deadlines coming up in the early primary states in the process playing on the republican side. certainly by early spring. to your point is a good one if you look at the before and after of george w. bush, even barack obama in the 40s when they got elected, certainly the presidency takes its toll. i'm 38 and he's 80 i would say in many cases these in better shape than i am, the man worked out every day i've not been on a bicycle and a pretty long time. i think doctor joe, the president are pretty good judges of character in terms of what they're willing to put in the race and say they're all for it. >> kevin walling thank you for joining us. we will visit with you again real soon. >> to be with you. >> the cdc called and they want your trust back. is that

america". ♪ is. >> welcome back to "sunday night in america". this was always one of our concerns during the pandemic that the intersections of politics and medicine would wind up hurting medicine. politics seems to rule in everything that comes into contact with. cdc director seems to recognize the damage that was done she is on something of an apology tour or at least a tour acknowledging the impact on her agency. will the effort work, can we get politics out of medicine. joining us fox news medical contributor doctor marty we carry. if she is trying to rebuild trust that almost necessarily means trust was broken, do you agree and what do you think led to the broken trust that wasn't warranted. >> the recent covid vaccine the recently design covid vaccine that was approved two weeks ago, regulators and the fda implies that moderna got together and decided to remove all regulatory requirements. it was approved based on data. moderna is vaccine which was approved and tested in 50 pe people. they only followed them for two weeks they did not look any efficacy. if they want to rebuild public trust that the cdc they should show humility and do proper studies to provide closure to those who are vaccine injured including children who have died from the vaccine and they should return to regulatory standards. right now you cannot tell the difference between pfizer in the fda and the cdc because they. around the same thing. if you look at mandy cohen's recommendations this week to take for every american every baby six months of age and older to take the newly approved covid vaccine. she said it reduces hospitalization and we have no data, it reduces long covid and we have no data. it also reduces the risk of transmission to other people. we have no data for that. we have to return to scientific standards instead of ruling by opinion. >> i was going to ask you what was going on in florida. the cdc recommended boosters or vaccinations in the surgeon general and florida state if you are under the age of 65 take a pass. what i'm wondering then others are warning. doctors used to be above all of this, they were better than lawyers so i guess what happened when did medicine get lower down to politics. >> when you rule by opinion rather than doing the proper scientific studies it is easier to rule by decree when you're at the top of the medical establishment. the problem you run the risk of getting things wrong. it's not the first time with covid they got so much wrong with a road by opinion that the medical establishment told the saturated fat causes heart disease and they got that terribly wrong for 50 plus years they told us opioids were not addicted for 35 years so we have to roll by scientific standards and show humility and stick to the principles. right now my fear that vaccine complications have been massively downplayed including myocarditis that we know affects one in 2700 young people, now when you have young people with legitimate concerns, those concerns are downplayed and the response is simply listen to us don't ask questions and that's an unhealthy place for the medical community to be. i love being a doctor and i'm very concerned about what's happening at the profession right now. >> i am to. when i look at places where i can go to escape politics i have a great doctrine i would do whatever he told me to if you told me to shake my head i would shake my head i trust physicians and it breaks my heart to see the trust either abused or not warranted. doctor mar to be carry trying to help rebuild trust in the science of medicine, thank you for joining us on a sunday night. >> somewhere between compassion and chaos one district attorney thinks the homeless issue in some california city

than the added progressive prosecutors including shoplifting and property crimes now receiving a failure to enforce laws related to the homeless. it's not just republicans complaining, brooke jenkins the democrat district attorney in san francisco made reference to a culture of lawlessness. another democrat district attorney failure to address the homeless issue from compassion to chaos. he wound up suing city officials in sacramento beseeching them to enforce the law. there are stark differences between the two political parties and a host of issues including the committal justice system. every now and again, there is agreement, reality sets in people in good conscience are in accord. no one likes to be accosted on the street no one likes to walk by open-air drug markets. no one likes to step over people sleeping on the sidewalk. it is a credit to the district attorneys they described it correctly. a culture of lawlessness has sprung up in part of her country and some call compassion is really just chaos. joining us attorney in retired nypd paul mauro. great to see you, thank you for joining us. i was in the d.a. for ten years and i never sued my county or city leaders but then again i never had to. what is going on in california. >> and think we have a nationwide case of buyers remorse with the progressive public officials, california seems to be the petri dish for this. the sacramento that you're alluding to is really interesting. very rarely do you see a county district attorney suing a city within his jurisdiction because he thinks are not enforcing the law the way they can. just to get a legalistic based on the ninth district martin versus the city of boise has been misinterpreted to say essentially the homeless can be anywhere added in time. i would like to point out we had a successful challenge to the law in phoenix and the judge gave the city of phoenix toll for november to clean up its act and the city of thousand homeless people have set up an encampment. this stuff is beatable but you have to meet them on the playing field and go to the courts and have the facts and the voters have to be aware of the fact that if you vote for the stuff you're going to get it. nationwide we see something of an awakening and i think it's something that is very bright for the republicans in the upcoming presidential election next year and even in the debates we have not heard a lot about it. 80% lives in an urban area. you have the suburbs 90% has their fortunes tied to a city that is the right topic and were seated come to the floor. >> i think people good conscience realize that we are creating in some of the jurisdictions that you reference a culture of lawlessness and the culture of no consequence. it's making life very difficult for those who were trying to follow the law but shy of filing a lawsuit. i think you put your finger on it. stop electing people who are going to lead you to have buyers remorse, that seems to be the brevity or maybe i'm too simpleminded. >> you're not simpleminded. you're exactly right. and what you are seeing the endpoint in the progressive policies there was no breaks in the 20 summer of love with the endpoint and people waking up to it, how bad is it, the governor of california governor newsom not exactly a right-leaning guy says so go to the supreme court, he is counting on the conservative majority in the supreme court to bail him out and that's about it is in california and are major cities, their falling apart and centers of commerce and culture of immigrant aspiration and we are losing them it's easy if you save the cities, who cares. they are the engine and we need them. trey: i'm trying to steady myself at the notion that the ninth circuit made of come up with a wacky ruling. before i let you go it was a heartbreaking story about fentanyl and a daycare center where a child died. it takes a lot to suppress both of us but a day care center is a front for a fentanyl operation with the child being killed. it surprises me. i will let you react to it. >> it is an awful case and you elucidate the facts accurately. they had a kia fentanyl which is about the size of a hardcover book. the key in the interesting thing they had a kilo press which argues this was heavyweight and they were very connected. that's what the feds are interested that's why they sell this is something that they were into already. in the third piece the husband who was the main player he is still in the wind but they have the two main pieces. there charged with murder yet the federal drug charges as well with a lot of leverage. all i say i hope there in protective custody because i am looking to get into the two and trying to interdict what looks like a major fentanyl ring coming into new york city using a daycare center. trey: paul mauro as always. thank you for joining us. next fighting to save our young people, our children from the perils of social media. doctor

are in a mental health spiral and social media is a big part of the problem, creating images that do not exist in real life, images of perfection and butte beauty that only egypt in greek mythology. and it gets people to do things that are stupid and dangerous. there is a reasons there are able requirements with voting and marrying and signing a contractor accessing alcohol. should there be limits on social media? is this a freedom issue or a while issue? doctor marc siegel is a physician pushes for solutions, he is joining us now. onewonderful to see you. what is social media doing to young people? >> you have already diagnosed the problem, great to be with with you. i as a physician look at imperfection. i'm looking at disease, keeping people propped up as long as possible. keeping them alive, only a few groups of doctors look at perfection like cosmetic plastic surgeons or dermatologists, most of us could that the body not perfect. and you are great the way you are, social media does not g draw that image. they plugged on more and more to social media. tiktok feeds you videos and you try to reach perfection. thone-third of teenage girls during the pandemic considered suicide, two-thirds were happy or hopeless for periods of time in 20 betwe 21 because all they had to connect them was social media. the surgeon general said it is about overcoming

issue, you talk about suicide rates and mental health issues that makes it a while issue. -- health issue, c connectivity and putting phone down and looking people in the eyes, what are things you advise people to do? >> i -- you already started it, look people in the eyes, meet people in person. it is cutting down screen time. and i want to give a shout out to governor glen youngkin of virginia, he started a program, right help, right now, you said restriction, i recoiled this government does not have a good track record with that. with mandates and they flogged us throughout the pandemic but youngkin said let's start with the family his program increases ininsurance coverage and providers and increases networking and looking at it in terms of before, during and after the
