thank you Mr chairman we're here today

0:03

ostensibly to fund the Department of

0:07

Homeland Security through a partisan

0:10

reconciliation bill that uh

0:13

intentionally and very clearly bypasses

0:16

uh any cooperation with

0:19

Democrats i want to talk for a minute

0:22

about what is actually in this bill

0:24

which is pretty remarkable

0:27

first of all

0:28

twothirds of the funding in this bill

0:33

goes to the border

0:34

wall now you can make arguments about

0:38

the border wall all you want obviously

0:41

we know it's a pet project of the

0:43

president um would it be better if we

0:46

had a border wall to keep the border

0:47

safe

0:49

probably but is it

0:52

really the most effective use of $46

0:55

billion of course not because not not

0:58

included in here is any funding for the

1:02

actual effective methods of keeping the

1:05

border

1:06

secure we live in a technological world

1:10

right now where building a wall where

1:13

we've seen people scale it very easily

1:16

where we've seen it fall down by the

1:19

because of the

1:21

wind is a relic from the 1950s that

1:25

should not be what our government is

1:26

spending $46 billion

1:29

on but worse let's talk about what is

1:33

not in this

1:35

bill there is no money for emergency

1:38

management for

1:39

FEMA now this is not a partisan issue

1:43

red districts suffer from natural

1:47

disasters certainly as much or more as

1:49

blue districts and I can assure you to

1:54

my Republican colleagues that when your

1:57

district gets a flood or a tornado or a

2:03

hurricane you are going to be coming to

2:06

FEMA begging for money

2:11

and I don't want to hear a single word

2:15

from any of my Republican

2:17

colleagues about where is FEMA when they

2:22

need emergency management support

2:25

because you are voting for a bill that

2:28

includes nothing

2:31

nothing for money that you will need and

2:34

you will need it you are being

2:35

shortsighted

2:37

but do not worry there is money for FEMA

2:40

there is money for FEMA $300 billion

2:43

dollar you know what that's for for

2:47

Donald Trump to play

2:49

golf $300 million to reimburse local law

2:53

enforcement for

2:56

presidential protection related to

2:59

activities by the president

3:03

$300

3:04

million donald Trump has played golf 24

3:08

out of his first 99 days that is a

3:12

quarter of the days

3:14

so you are funding a bill that does not

3:18

give any money for natural

3:20

disasters that does not repay towns

3:25

cities states for the tremendous amount

3:29

of money that they have paid out for our

3:35

immigration system to

3:37

operate no and that's red districts too

3:42

but we are going to make sure Donald

3:45

Trump can play golf because that's where

3:49

our $300 million of FEMA money should go

3:53

to it's a

3:55

disgrace and it's a disgrace that none

3:57

of my Republican colleagues will speak

3:59

up against this money for golf against

4:03

the obvious and egregious due process

4:06

violations i know you i know you are

4:10

good people i know you care about due

4:13

process you care about the rule of law

4:16

and I know in your private

4:18

moments when you think about Kilmar Obgo

4:22

Garcia and you see that the

4:24

administration admitted that he was

4:27

wrongly deported and sent to a prison in

4:32

El

4:33

Salvador that you know that the

4:37

president should simply correct the

4:40

mistake bring him back home so he can go

4:44

through the proper court

4:46

system when are you going to speak

4:50

publicly when are you going to speak out

4:54

for simple due process which is the

4:56

bedrock of our country because now it's

4:59

going from Kilar Abrau to American

5:02

citizens and who knows when it will be

5:04

next donald Trump's not listening to me

5:07

but he will listen to you all and I urge

5:10

you to speak up for the good of our

5:13

constitution gentlemen's time has

5:14

expired
