GOOD THING. MARIA: THANK YOU, CHERYL. CHERYL: YOU BET. MARIA: 2024 HOPEFULS REACTING TO THE NEWS OF THE THIRD INDICTMENT AGAINST DONALD TRUMP, SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR TIM SCOTT WRITES THIS. I REMAIN CONCERNED ABOUT THE WEAPONIZATION OF BIDEN'S DOJ AND IMMENSE POWER USED AGAINST POLITICAL OWE PONE NENTSZ, WHAT WE SEE TODAY ARE TWO DIFFERENT TRACKS OF JUSTICE. FORMER VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE SAYS THIS. TODAY'S INDICTMENT SERVES AS AN IMPORTANT REMINDER, ANYONE WHO PUTS HIMSELF OVER THE CONSTITUTION SHOULD NEVER BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. JOINING ME IS FLORIDA CONGRESSMAN CARLOS JIMINEZ, MEMBER OF THE HOUSE ARMED SERVICES AND HOMELAND SECURITY. CONGRESSMAN, GOOD TO SEE YOU. HOW DO YOU SEE THIS INDICTMENT? >> IT'S PURE POLITICS AGAIN. LOOK, STACY ABRAMS CONTESTED HER RESULTS IN GEORGIA. PRESIDENT TRUMP DID THE SAME THING AND GETS INDICTED. THERE'S A DOUBLE STANDARD WITHOUT A DOUBT. IT'S NOT COINCIDENTAL, IT'S THE DAY AFTER YOU GET THIS TESTIMONY WHICH IS REALLY PRETTY DAMNING TO THE BIDEN FAMILY AND THE PRESIDENT GETS INDICTED. IT SEEMS TO BE A PATTERN. MARIA: AND JONATHAN TURLEY, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR HAVING A SIMILAR COMMENT SAYING THEY'RE CHARGING TRUMP WITH DISINFORMATION, AGAINST FREE SPEECH. IS THAT GOING TO FLY. >> IT PROBABLY WON'T FLY. THE JURY LEVEL, IT'S GOING TO BE TRIED IN D.C., YOU CAN'T FIND A PERSON THERE THAT VOTED FOR TRUMP. 93% OF THE PEOPLE VOTED FOR BIDEN. I SUSPECT THE PRESIDENT WILL HAVE TROUBLE IN THAT VENUE. WHEN IT GETS TO THE SUPREME COURT THEY'LL SEE IT FOR WHAT IT REALLY IS, AN ASSAULT ON FREE SPEECH, ASSAULT ON POLITICAL SPEECH AND IT'S A SCARY DAY IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. MARIA: WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? >> WELL, LOOK, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT. WE'RE INVESTIGATING HUNTER BIDEN AND JOE BIDEN AND BIDEN FAMILY SYNDICATE. MORE EVIDENCE IS COMING EVERY DAY. THIS IS NOT GOING TO DETER US FROM OUR DUTY TO INVESTIGATE IF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS CORRUPT AND COMPROMISED. TWO THINGS I BELIEVE ARE TRUE WITH ALL THE EVIDENCE WE HAVE SEEN. BUT WE HAVE TO PROVE IT AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO IT. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO AND WE'LL ALSO BE INVESTIGATING THE DOJ AND FBI AND WEAPONIZATION OF THE DOJ AND THE FBI. AND MORE -- IF THEY CONTINUE TO ACT IN THIS FASHION, IT JUST PROVES OUR POINT THAT UNFORTUNATELY THESE TWO AGENCIES, THESE TWO INSTITUTIONS HAVE BEEN WEAPONIZED BY THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION. MARIA: I WANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH MORE EVIDENCE YOU NEED. YOU'VE GOT 170 SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY REPORTS. YOU'VE GOT WHISTLEBLOWER TESTIMONY SAYING THAT THEY KNOW THAT JOE BIDEN AND HIS FAMILY HAVE ACCEPTED MONEY. YOU'VE GOT JAMES COMER, THE CHAIRMAN OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEE, THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE SAYING THAT HE CAN IDENTIFY AT LEAST $17 MILLION, NANCY MACE, A MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE SAYS SHE THINKS IT'S NORTH OF $50 MILLION. HOW MUCH MORE EVIDENCE DO YOU WANT TO ACTUALLY OPEN DOORS ENDE IMPEACHING JOE BIDEN. >> I'M THERE ALREADY. I'M THINKING WE NEED MORE EVIDENCE TO MAKE SURE THAT ALSO NOT EVEN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA CAN IGNORE IT ANYMORE. THEY CONTINUE TO IGNORE THIS STUFF. LOOK, IT'S JUST COINCIDENCE THAT OUT OF 8 MILLION PEOPLE ON THE PLANET, IT WAS HUNTER BIDEN'S FATHER WHO GOT THE BURISMA PROSECUTOR FIRED. MARIA: RIGHT. >> THAT'S BEYOND THE PAIL. HEY, IT'S JUST COINCIDENCE, HEY, IT'S JUST HIM DOING HIS JOB AND ALL THAT, I KNEW HE WAS CROOKED FROM THE GET-GO. IT'S NOT QUESTION AND ANSWERS C. HIS SON WAS MAKING A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR. YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOUR SON WAS MAKING A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR FROM A COMPANY IN WHICH YOU GOT THE PROSECUTOR WHO WAS ON THAT TO GET FIRED. REALLY? LOOK, NOBODY BELIEVES THAT. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DON'T BELIEVE IT. WE JUST THE CONTINUE TO PILE ON THE EVIDENCE AND, YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO FIND MORE AND MORE EVIDENCE AND I'M SORRY FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP BECAUSE EVERY TIME WE FIND MORE EVIDENCE GETS INDICTED. AND SO I'M GOING TO APOLOGIZE TO HIM RIGHT NOW. YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO GET INDICTED MORE AND THE DAY AFTER YOU'LL GET INDICTED FOR SOMETHING ELSE. MARIA: LOOK, THE PUBLIC IS OBVIOUSLY NOT HAPPY WITH THIS KIND OF A POLITICIZATION GOING ON IN THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AND OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES. I WANT TO SWITCH GEARS ASK YOU ABOUT THE HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE ON CHINA INVESTIGATING BLACKROCK AND INDEX PROVIDER MSCI, LOOKING INTO WHETHER THEY WERE FACILITATING AMERICAN INVESTMENTS INTO CHINESE COMPANIES WHO WERE ACTUALLY ACCUSED OF BOLSTERING CHINA'S MILITARY AND VIOLATING HUMAN RIGHTS. THERE IS NOT A PROGRAM THAT HAS BEEN MORE FOCUSED ON THIS ISSUE THAN THIS ONE. BECAUSE I'VE BEEN FOCUSED ON THIS ISSUE NOW FOR YEARS. THE COMMITTEE SENT THE LETTER TO BLACKROCK'S CEO, IT'S UNCONSCIONABLE FOR ANY U.S. COMPANY TO BENEFIT FROM INVESTMENTS THAT FACILITATE HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THIS WAS A DECISION THAT JOE BIDEN GOT PAID FOR, ALLOWING ALL OF THESE COMPANIES, CHINESE COMPANIES TO TRADE ON U.S. EXCHANGES AND NOT FOLLOW ANY AUDITING RULES BECAUSE JOE BIDEN SIGNED A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BACK IN 2014 WITH CHINESE PARTNERS ALLOWING THESE COMPANIES TO TRADE ON THE U.S. EXCHANGES. WHY ARE THESE IN COMPANIES IN INDEXES IF THEY'RE ON SANCTIONS LISTS? >> THEY SHOULDN'T BE. THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO BRING MSCI AND BLACKROCK IN. I'M GLAD OUR CHAIR, MIKE GALLAGHER, IS PURSUING THIS. LOOK, WE HAD A HEDGE FUND MANAGER COME BEFORE US A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AND HE -- VERY ETHICAL GUY. HE WOULDN'T BE INVESTING, HE'S NOT INVESTING IN ANY CHINESE COMPANIES. I ASKED ARE YOU THE EXCEPTION OR THE RULE. HE SAID HE WOULD HOPE HE WAS THE RULE BUT MY INCLINATION IS HE'S PROBABLY THE EXCEPTION. BLACKROCK AND MSCI ARE CHASING THE DOLLAR AND TO OUR DETRIMENT. THESE COMPANIES ARE HELPING THE PLA, THEY'RE HELPING THE CCP. THEY'RE INVOLVED IN HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES, YOU KNOW, IN CHINA. AND SO YEAH, WE NEED TO BRING THEM IN AND HAVE THEM EXPLAIN THEMSELVES. LOOK, WE JUST LOOKED AT A SLIVER OF THE INDEXES AND IN JUST THAT SLIVER WE FOUND HALF A BILLION DOLLARS IN INVESTMENT, AMERICAN MONEY, HELPING CHINESE COMPANIES, CHINESE COMPANIES THAT ARE HELPING THE PLA OR THE CCP UNDERMINE AMERICAN INTEREST. IT'S INCREDIBLE AND IT'S -- YOU KNOW, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULDN'T TOLERATE AND WE CAN'T TOLERATE. WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO FUND CHINESE COMPANIES THAT UNDERMINE AMERICAN INTEREST. MARIA: ARE YOU GOING TO ASK LARRY FINK IF HE'S MANAGING MONEY FOR XI JINPING AND THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY? >> WELL, I'LL BRING HIM IN AND WE'LL SEE WHAT WE ASK HIM. I'M THE LAST GUY ON THAT COMMITTEE. I'M THE LEAST SENIOR PERSON SO I'M SURE MY COLLEAGUES ARE GOING TO PUT HIM THROUGH THE WRINGER BUT, LOOK, WE NEED TO PUT THE SPOTLIGHT ON WHAT'S HAPPENING. ANY INVESTMENT IN CHINA IS INVESTING WITH THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY AND THE PLA BECAUSE BY RULE, BY LAW, THEY HAVE TO SHARE THEIR TECHNOLOGY. ANYTHING THAT THE PLA DEEMS TO BE IN THEIR INTEREST THEY CAN GET IT FROM THE COMPANY. SO EVERYTHING WE INVEST IN CHINA IS GOING TO BE WORKING AGAINST THE INTEREST OF THE UNITED STATES. MARIA: CONGRESSMAN, THANKS SO MUCH. WE'L
