00:00um you know i i'm actually kind of speechless we've had i don't know how many killings but i
00:10do know that it is a record number of killings and instead of trying to make sure that we do
00:16our job which is to conduct the oversight in fact our colleague who was trying to conduct
00:22oversight at the dilly facility because she wanted to make sure that people weren't dying
00:27in that facility in new jersey is now facing 17 years in prison somehow for doing her job why is
00:35it that we can't just come to dc and do what we were elected to do which is to make
00:39sure that these
00:41federal officers are protecting and serving instead the only thing that's happening is that people are
00:48being taunted they are being tracked and they are being killed and as i look at my colleague i don't
00:56know if you've had anything to say but as a texan i would hope that we could come together as
01:02texans
01:03and denounce what just took place in houston texas how about we focus on making sure that this agency
01:11that has a record amount of dollars now not because the democrats were trying to send them more money
01:17because we didn't want to reward their bad behavior but instead of us doing our jobs and conducting
01:22oversight as it relates to federal officers you guys decide to waste our time in the american people's
01:29tax dollars with this nonsense how about we do our part and try to start saving some lives
01:36i'll yield it seems like we are at a point where we have a solution in search of a problem
01:44unfortunately for the american people when they send us to dc they want us to solve problems
01:49and so while i hear my colleagues on the other side of the aisle claiming that this is about protecting
01:55children let's talk about the fact that children are not protected in so many ways right now
02:02we can talk about gun violence which i'll never want to talk about because our kids are being killed
02:07and frankly if you look at the numbers if i was to ask you and you decided you wanted to
02:12be honest
02:12about whether or not more children are killed in their schools because of gun violence versus children dying
02:18because of issues like this if you tell the truth you'll know that gun violence is killing our
02:25children you'd also understand the importance of making investments into things such as mental health
02:31and when we look at the actual numbers as relates to mental health and what these types of bills do
02:38to
02:38our children let me give you some facts because i don't want to operate on feelings i want to operate
02:44on
02:44facts trans youth face some of the highest suicide risk of any other youth groups in this country
02:51nearly half of trans and non-binary young people seriously consider attempting suicide each year
02:59the actual number is 46 but i don't see y'all trying to propose anything to make sure that we
03:04can assist
03:05these children suicide actual attempts we know that a study showed that one in five trans
03:12or non-binary youth have attempted suicide just in the past year over their lifetimes up to 40 percent of
03:21transgender individuals report suicide attempts and states that pass laws banning gender affirming care
03:29saw suicide attempts by transgender youth increased by up to 72 percent so if you want to protect
03:39children and youth maybe consider what is actually happening happening you are absolutely not protecting
03:48their mental health and you're absolutely not providing mental health resources because we know
03:53that republicans hate to put money into mental health but they blame every travesty that we see on
03:59mental health we also know that measles which unfortunately have started to kill children in this country
04:07because it's back on the rise y'all haven't decided to have a hearing or pass a bill to make
04:13sure that we could
04:14eradicate measles which was eradicated before the republicans got back in control
04:19tb is up whooping cough is up listen
04:24pamela asked earlier why are we doing this i can tell you we're doing this because the midterms are coming
04:30and you don't want to talk about the actual problems because you guys are the ones that have caused the
04:35vast majority of the
04:36problems that we're dealing right now if some people don't want to talk about measles or whooping cough we can
04:41just talk about the fact that the vast majority of the country right now is scared to eat lettuce
04:45because they believe that they may start pooping and can't stop now i didn't even know that this existed
04:51but this is where we are we are at the point that y'all are so careless with who it
04:57is that runs the cdc
04:58and y'all are so reckless that from our farmers and ranchers not knowing whether or not their cattle is
05:05going to survive or literally people saying i can't eat the berries and in the salad because i may not
05:14be
05:14able to get off the toilet i think is it's actually very symbolic of kind of how most americans feel
05:20we are in a very um pooing uh place right now in this country in all seriousness though we got
05:29a lot
05:30of things that we could be solving and i can guarantee you if you go knock the door right now
05:33and ask your
05:34constituents whether or not they want to be concerned about ebola which has come back around again
05:43or whether they want to be concerned about the fact because of elon and his recklessness as it relates to
05:49usaid we know that there is an increase in hiv globally right now i can tell you that there are
05:56some medical conditions that people care about in this moment the fact that cancer research dollars have been
06:04cut there's a lot that we could be doing and i would really want to engage in a real conversation
06:10but going after trans children is just a campaign spiel for you because it has worked in the past but
06:17i can
06:17tell you right now that the american people understand that y'all are not serious people in
06:23this moment and therefore the midterms are coming the democrats we're going to talk about this pooey
06:30situation that y'all got us into subscribe to one india and never miss an update
