Congressional Hearing on Child Separation Issues

When you take your clothes to the cleaners, they give you a tag and you then go back and

you retrieve your clothes.

When you get luggage, you go and get your luggage returned.

Well, I wish the Biden administration would have done that.

Let me just say this to you, sir.

Again, it is my time.

Thirty nine hundred children were separated from their families.

Fifty thousand kids were lost during the Biden administration.

Mr. Secretary, Mr. Secretary, do not interrupt.

Don't you point your finger at me.

I will point my finger at you.

You should be as upset about the 450,000 kids that were lost.

You didn't say a word about it.

For four years, you never said a word.

Mr. Secretary.

Put him in his place.

You should be put in your place.

Mr. Secretary, if you would like four minutes for a closing statement when everybody's done, I'll give you that.

But while members are on their eight minutes, I need them to have their eight minutes.

I started my comments.

I appreciate that.

My issue is that they say this for sound bites and I'm not going to let them say something like that.

What did you do just recently for sound bites?

I sympathize with the 400,000.

We are going to have something resembling order here.

The time is the ranking members.

If you would like to respond later on, there are methods to do that, but it's not a who can talk louder into the mic.

It's not.

So, you are recognized.

Thank you very much.

I will not let her sit there and lie and accuse something this ridiculous.

This is the legislative branch and it's my hearing, and so I'm going to try to some extent to control it moderately.

And do not accuse me of lying.
