00:00Let's walk through these pardons for fraudsters, and we all care about fraud.
00:04So, Ms. Robbins, Mr. Hudson, and Ms. Rarick, Donald Trump pardoned George Santos, who defrauded voters and owed them $370,000 in restitution to victims.
00:16Raise your hand if you oppose this pardon.
00:21Thank you, Mr. Bologna.
00:22Ma'am, I would have to look at the law and the facts of the case.
00:25We cannot know the facts of all these individual cases.
00:29No, don't deflect.
00:30This is a very public case.
00:32You know who George Santos is.
00:33You know exactly what he did.
00:35We just agreed that, you know, fraud is unacceptable.
00:39And so, and you just talked about accountability.
00:42You said if people commit fraud and exploit the public good, that they should be incarcerated.
00:47So, this is not a complicated question.
00:50So, I will give you all one more opportunity.
00:52Ms. Robbins, Mr. Hudson, and Ms. Rarick, raise your hand if you oppose the pardon of George Santos.
01:00Not playing this game.
01:01It's not a game.
01:02It's real life.
01:04It's not a game at all.
01:05Okay, but I will take your refusal to go on record, not only as cowardice, but that you do agree with that pardon of that fraudster.
01:13Moving on, Donald Trump also gave, and this has never been done before, presidential pardons to corporations that committed fraud.
01:20One example is the crypto company Bitmex that violated U.S. law and was fined $100 million.
01:28Now, raise your hand if you oppose Trump's pardon of this crypto company.
01:33Not participating.
01:35Thank you, Mr. Ballou.
01:35Okay, again, I'll take your refusal to not, to raise your hand in opposition.
01:42That means that you support this pardon of this corporation that frauded folks to the tune of $100 million.
01:49Refusal to participate is not an expression.
01:51Yesterday, yesterday, reclaiming my time, reclaiming my time, reclaiming my time.
01:55Reclaiming my time is not an expression one way or the other.
01:56Do you know the rules of committee?
01:57This is my time.
01:57I know that I am here as a member of the public.
02:01Reclaiming my time, you are not, Mr. Chair, that's what I know.
02:04You are not in order with the rules of the committee.
02:06This is my time.
02:07This is my time.
02:09I ask the questions and you answer, but you're too much of a coward to answer.
02:12So we're going to move on.
02:13Now, yesterday was the five-year anniversary, and I want to note, of the January 6th insurrection.
02:20And on Donald Trump's first day in office, he pardoned 1,500 insurrectionists, including Brian Christopher Mock, who's from Minnesota.
02:29Are y'all going to say you don't know who that is?
02:31He's from Minnesota.
02:32Now, he kicked, shoved, and threw a flagpole at police officers, you know, law enforcement that you claim to support.
02:39And he did all of that in the name of fraud.
02:43He was an election denier.
02:44So an election fraud lie.
02:47Now, he claims he did these things in the name of patriotism, but really he's just a criminal.
02:51So raise your hand if you oppose Trump's pardon of this Minnesota individual.
02:57Ma'am, this grandstanding nonsense is exactly what Minnesotans hate about D.C.
03:02This is accountability, and you are hypocrites.
03:05So, again, I will take your refusal to not...
03:07Thanks for demonstrating my opening statement.
03:08Mr. Chairman, order, decorum.
03:10She's off the rails.
03:11Reclaiming my time.
03:12I'm not off the rails, please.
03:13You are totally off the rails.
03:15Nancy, enough of your troops.
03:17Give me my time back.
03:18Order, Mr. Chairman.
03:19If Republicans were a series of reclaiming my time, we're down here.
03:33Mr. Chairman, I lost at least 10% of my time.
03:37We're so out of order and out of time.
03:40Ms. Presley, you've already secured your MSNBC spot tonight.
03:44I'm looking for accountability, and you want to run from the home of your king and this administration.
03:52Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
03:52Mr. Chairman, I agree.
03:54She's going to be a great host on MSNBC.
03:57This is my time.
03:57I wouldn't want to jump in front of Ms. Mace if I were you, Ms. Presley.
04:00I reclaim my time.
04:01This is my time.
04:02I wouldn't want to interrupt Ms. Mace.
04:04It's her time.
04:05Chair recognizes Ms.
04:08Mr. Chairman, she could not get all of her time.
04:12Mr. Chairman, she's still out of order.
04:13What do we have to do to get this woman in order?
04:16Her time has expired.
04:18Chair recognizes Ms. Mace.
04:19You're going to be great on TV.
04:20You're really good.
04:22No, baby, you're not.
04:24No, baby, you're not.
04:25You are not in order.
04:27You're out of order.
04:28Goodbye.
04:29You're done.
04:30All right.
04:30Mr. Chairman, it's my third minutes.
04:31Chair recognizes Ms. Mace.
04:32Are we good here?
04:32Are we good here?
