00:00This bill bent. Mr. Boe, just hold on for a second.
00:06Request that the Capitol Police restore order immediately.
00:17Shut the door, please.
00:20The president drove enactment of the Working Families Tax Cut Act,
00:23which is a once-in-a-generation legislation to end fiscal futility,
00:27invest in critical priorities, and cut taxes for working Americans.
00:33This bill bent.
00:34Mr. Boe, just hold on for a second.
00:44The chair notes a disruption in the hearing and requests that the Capitol Police restore order immediately.
00:51The committee will briefly take a recess until we restore order.
00:58ow a
01:01under the
01:01The
01:01This bill
01:24is
01:25Spend the money, cut our state's lives, spend the money.
01:57Spend the money, cut our state's lives, spend the money.
02:25Spend the money, cut our state's lives, spend the money.
02:40Spend the money, cut our state's lives, spend the money.
02:45Spend the money, cut our state's lives, spend the money.
02:56Mr. Boat, please resume.
02:58This bill bent the cost curve for federal spending, achieving nearly $2 trillion in mandatory savings
03:03while securing historic investments in our nation's defense and the Department of Homeland Security
03:09without corresponding increases in objectionable non-defense spending.
03:13The president also shepherded legislation through Congress that rescinded $9 billion in wasteful
03:18and weaponized funding.
03:19Mr. Boat, back up, start again where you left off.
03:24We're going to wait until these folks move down.
03:26I can't hear anything, and we're not going to let them disrupt this hearing.
03:30As the ranking member said, we have some serious business to do.
03:34I certainly don't think that these guys condone this disruption.
03:41This is not the way this committee works, never has since I've been here.
03:46I don't think it's going to work that way either side.
03:49So let's move those guys.
03:50Just if you don't mind, Jody, in the three years and three months since Jody's been chair
03:55and I've been a ranking member, I think this is the first we've had of this.
04:00It's a very serious issue, so I understand why they're passionate.
04:02But we have actually, unlike other congressional committees that really do devolve into the,
04:08you know, partisan food fight, this committee has conducted its business
04:17with seriousness and purpose, and I hope for the next three hours we can be true to that
04:26as we have been for the last three years and three months.
04:31Thank you very much.
