00:00So why am I disappointed with Secretary Noem?
00:03Because we're not going after enough people who did this damage
00:07at the expense of running numbers that Stephen Miller wants out of the White House.
00:12We just want numbers.
00:14We want 1,000 a day, 6,000 a day, 9,000 a day, because numbers matter, right?
00:19No, they don't matter.
00:21Quality matters, not quantity, quality.
00:24And what we've seen is a disaster.
00:26Under your leadership, Ms. Noem, a disaster.
00:30What we've seen is innocent people getting detained that turn out are American citizens.
00:36I could talk about the culture that's been created here.
00:39With Stephen Miller aiding and abetting, I heard first reports that he was the one that said
00:45it was a domestic terrorist situation where two people lost their lives in Minneapolis.
00:50I've heard that report.
00:51Maybe you can refute it.
00:53I don't know that we'll have time for you to respond, because I'm giving you a performance
00:56evaluation here.
00:57I'm not looking for a response.
01:00And I'm saying, Ms. Noem, that time after time after time, I've been disappointed.
01:06But before I get back to looking at the vicious people that did this damage to these families,
01:12I want to talk a minute about FEMA.
01:15You have a policy right now that anything over $100,000 has to go through your desk for
01:21approval.
01:23I ask my staff, because I'm a management consultant, I don't try to do cheap shots in here, but
01:28the facts do not lie.
01:31This is your administration for FEMA response.
01:35This is President Trump's first administration.
01:38Which one would you like to have?
01:40If you're a state that has a $60 billion disaster, your biggest disaster in South Dakota that
01:46I can tell that when you were an elected official was about a half a billion dollars.
01:51So one one hundredth of this single storm, where thousands of people are hurting in North
01:55Carolina, and you're just barely catching up.
01:59This is what competent FEMA leadership looks like.
02:02This is what incompetent FEMA leadership looks like.
02:05And people are hurting in Western North Carolina from the most significant storm they've ever
02:10experienced.
02:11This is what we need more of.
02:13I'm convinced you can't do it.
02:14If you're requesting a review of $100,000 and up, then it begs the question, why?
02:20Why would you be involved in that?
02:21Why would that be a policy?
02:23And in a minute, I'll ask about some people that are involved, some special government employees.
02:27Why are they involved in it?
02:30Senator, that $100,000 only had to do-
02:35And I will hold the clock until I finish.
02:37Okay.
02:38The bottom line is, I've done the analysis.
02:40And you can say whatever you want to.
02:42I've worked with a Democrat governor.
02:44I've worked with a Republican governor.
02:46I've worked with fiscal research.
02:47We have people contacting my office now to get the information to better understand the
02:52failure of this department.
02:53Amen.
