SMALLER GOVERNMENT REQUIRED by :
WE THE PEOPLE
Get the hell out of our bedrooms.
This is republicans plan all along,to reduce the size of government agencies,so that if trump comes back into power,he can have greater control over them,for him to be able to become an uninterrupted authoritarian leader.!!!😮😮😮
At least 50% smaller. Move shop to Huntsville. Less cost and in the country. Has plenty land.
She is lying. The fbi was busy because the unlawful arrest of thousands of Jan 6 peaceful protestors. Parents at school board meetings. Placing fbi into the Jan 6 protestors. Sick of the lies.
@@douglemay7989 ...and our backyards and our cars and our workplaces and our restaurants and our hospitals and our voting booths and our social media accounts...
To solve all these Biden problems, TRUMP2024!@@douglemay7989
When did Congress or We The People give agencies the power to spend our tax money. It's bad enough that 535 people are charged with controlling expenditures without our input. Each agency has a person who has taken too much power from us which makes nobody held responsible for their action in government. We are experiencing that today.
Facts! And we are sick of it🤞🤬
Spot on! No matter how many hearing in Congress, nothing has changed. But, more money for their power , and a bigger building too.
Is this a serious question?
You give them authority with your vote... Smdh
You're right David! Congress is one of our biggest Financial liabilities of all!
You can call them,you can write them,you can walk around with signs saying your feelings/beliefs/issues. I have written to Clinton that we need to take care of ourselves before helping others. I called Sen. Warnock answered on the 2nd ring-to flip back the diesel tax to the lowest taxed. 2003-Bush(R) flipped the tax. Also added ethanol a 2 part destroyer-mechanics said it is bad for engines. “They’re literally giving the gas away-2 OPEC countries pumping away and we didn’t get below a $1-know why? Ethanol we do not have the farmers to produce the corn. We have dropped to 2nd from Brazil as exporter. But,they’re switching to soybeans etc. We do not need ethanol,we need farmers to grow EDIBLE FOOD
8:20 time. Mr. Raskin it is not the Senate that holds the purse strings it is Congress that does & most certainly NOT an agency that makes a determination to fund anything. That is the law.
Exactly.
I really dislike that guy
Maybe they should put their offices into a couple of the buildings that they already own.
Brenda you are absolutely right 👍
That's what they are they are trying to save money for a good shape building . SAVE MONEY !
Exactly, and these people do not have the power to dictate where tax money is spent.
The TSA has proven to be practically worthless. When undercover officers tested their ability to find weapons in airports they failed 8 out of ten times. Seeing how it only takes one to cause catastrophe, that is a huge failure..
All of our federal institutions are corrupt, and failing!
And the sad thing is throughout the years no matter how many times they do that test the amount that they slip through doesn't decrease. You can say one thing about them they are consistent. Consistently bad
The TSA was absolutely not necessary. It was put in place to expand government employment and make more and more people completely dependent on a functioning paying government (which in a round-about way creates an even larger force of individuals not interested in revolting against a corrupt government).
You are right, but as a former TSA employee I can tell you that the public view of TSA created a dumbing down of security over peoples' "personal space and rights"--ergo - we lost enhanced security. And, Management at this point is a joke.
If tsa is so incompetent why isn't it reflected in the number of incidences. Making a mountain out of a molehill . .. what ifs 😅
I agree the FBI doesn't need a new building..for billions of dollars that we do not have..
Old one is falling down & is dangerous & is costing even more to maintain it.!Money is already set aside & a more central building makes more sense,republicans just want agencies like to be cut back,so that trump could easily become an authoritarian without any pushback.!That can never happen.!!FBI numbers have to stay.!!!😊
They need to move in the pentagon.
I can remember Democrats saying we didn't even have 5 billion to afford a border wall. Now we somehow have hundreds of billions. Package for you, package for you, package for you.
Did you listen ? They are talking about the GSA , not the FBI !!
@@Michelle-yw1lvgsa manages federal buildings an land, they are talking about the fbi headquarters being relocated
We don't need training in equity! We need people who are qualified to do their job
Absolutely correct,it is that simple.
There are a lot of good ones, thus the whistleblowers coming forward.
We need the rich to pay taxes. That's what we need.
@victoriabarefoot7434 billionaires pay more in taxes in a year then you can make in a lifetime
@@victoriabarefoot7434they pay WAY more in taxes than you do or ever will. They literally take care of you while you complain that they don't pay enough.
No new headquarters building for FBI!
When the old one is dangerous & falling down & costing money for repairs instead,even you wouldn’t work there.!Since covid,remote work is better,so it’s the right time now to move to a central region & save more money.!!!😊
@evelynmurphy9599 why are they falling down lol? That's ridiculous we have buildings all across this country that have been standing since the 1600s and are not falling to the ground... they do maintenance regularly on federal buildings and to say they don't is just bs... if what u say is true, then by giving them a brand new facility, since they don't do any maintenance, it won't be long until it crumbles as well... see that logic?😂
@@CarlasCorner62 You obviously don't own a home. Any building that is still standing since the 1600's would, I believe, be owned and operated by the US gov. and designated as a National Historic Place. That would mean, that they are maintained through government grants.
Buildings deteriorate.
If it’s good enough for tourists as ms Norton proposes it’s good enough for the FBI. They can use an already owned building even if they have to share with another US agency.
Why do we need a new FBI building? The one they have is huge!
The building much like the senior management is crumbling,the mission it’s reason for existing is rotting,the physical plant is unsafe and rotting away.
It is falling apart they say. I saw a documentary where bricks were falling off a building and they fixed every brick but I think the fbi building is solid concrete. But thru could move in the pentagon at no charge.
@@stevenfromer3816its not my problem. They should have kept up with its Up Keep\Repairs. No more $$$ for them
Because there is now 8 million more people (all the illegals) to spy on as well as 334 million real citizens... If you want them to go after real criminals it will cost us extra. Like always. Please America, that building will be used to deny you your rights when the socialists take over.
Apparently one or a few, depending on the media site of your choice, the buildings are "crumbling and falling apart" . Now if that's true it's a safety hazard.
Do not take this as me supporting a new large FBI building or promoting it. I strongly prefer the FBI be downsized to 1/3 of its force at minimum and no more large buildings.
Hell no to a new FBI HQ. A huge waste of our taxpayer dollars that we do not have. These people still working from home need to be let go. I’ve worked from home off and on and I did not actually do the work I was supposed to because no one was holding me accountable. It’s too easy not to work when no one is watching and if these employees are still doing it after Covid there’s a problem somewhere. And when the FBI is after conservative American people I definitely don’t want a new building.
Well, you just announced to the world that you are unethical, you steal, and you can't be trusted.
Hold funding until Congress develops a plan to de-politicize the FBI. The FBI doesn't need to be rewarded at this time - period.
Amen
The FBI has always been politicized, that's a fake charade from the far-right that suddenly wants to defund the police because domestic terrorists get investigated.
It's all fear, smoke and mirrors from the fascist GOP as they have nothing to run on, so fear of tHe fBi (they're not perfect) meanwhile nothing to actually improve lives in this country.
So, you think that agents that have pledged to seek out and brutally arrest "domestic terrorists" like grandma and grandpa for being patriotic and peacefully attending J6 or speaking out about porn in our schools? You think people like that can be retrained to have any ethical standards?
But concrete is falling on people from sidewalks 🤷♂️
If Raskin is for this site,you can be sure the taxpayer is screwed.
And we could easily afford a new FBI building as long as the people vote on naming it. No Pelosi , in my opinion she is a low class name dropper. And has allowed her husband at the least to trade that has the appearance of insider trading. But I suspect she should go to prison bc mccarthey made a new law called the Pelosi law. No insider trading.
NO MONEY FOR THE FBI
17 of 24 agencies were using only an estimated 25% of their headquarters buildings. Committee chairman Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., called the finding “alarming” as well as “not a sustainable or fiscally responsible way to manage our federal real estate.” Based on its calculations for one of the federal headquarters buildings, the GAO estimated that only 67% of building capacity would be used even if all assigned staff entered the building on a single day.
And that's the result of federal agencies not being subjected to the tight regulations that working class business owners must follow to keep their companies open and afloat.
Their snide attitude and deliberately failing to answer to oversite is appalling and the house should be utilizing their subpoena power and holding them in contempt. The house should have it within 24 hours unredacted except special opt people . Depending on the amount of papers to review for names. Otherwise hold them in contempt and lock them up per our constitution. They think they are u touchable and accountable to no one. They sat at computers reading Twitter and Facebook posts and had big tech censor speeches. Too much time on their hands. Decrease each by 50% or greater. No to article 702. Make them get a subpoena or go to prison for violating the rights of Americans and our constitution.
@@susy590exactly if they were using their own money every square inch of that building would be utilized by something or someone. But they're spending our money so who cares
huh i wonder why they design the extra room though? Oh.. i bet i know what it is...
The space-to-occupancy ratio at agency headquarters has worsened in the last few years, as many agencies embraced hybrid work and increased telework for their employees. Jul 13, 2023
It's gonna take a while to adjust to that. The Titanic doesn't turn on a dime.
Lately all agencies "think" they have more power than the have been given Constitutionally. ATF making laws is a good example of that. Term Limits across the entire system, now.
How do u get them to give THEMSELVES term limits when they are the ones that will be voting on it?
We take back our country in every way possible. They don't ask permission why should we? Just because they have changed the color of law over many years to support their plan? Many laws today are Unconstitutional & are being challenged in courts across the Nation. @@CarlasCorner62
@@CarlasCorner62 Good point but some where they need to many have been in way to long, like Schumer, McConnel, & a like they need to set term limits & make sure it is stuck too. & If nothing else we the voters start doing it with our votes
...Aaaah ..BTW... Schumer and the turtle MaConnell .These 2 are not part of the intelligence agency s !! Facts !!!
@davidleist30 - Ummmm, you do know that the ATF doesn’t laws, right? As far as term limits, the President, V President do have term limits. Congress does also. It’s called, “Don’t vote for that a$$.” and get as many ppl that you can, in order, to get them to vote as you.
Our own counsel found we didn’t break our own rules why am I not surprised
I find it rich that Jim Jordon is asking anyone else about following RULES. Jim Jordon was at the center of the Republican's attempt to keep Trump in office... in other words... Jim committed SEDITION and helped in the effort to spread the DIS INFORMATION that triggered Jan. 6th. He will eventually be called to answer for Jan. 6th by Jack Smith but until then, i suggest Jim STFU.
They want pelosi’s name on the new building. Which is wrong. It needs to be left J Edgar Hoover and no new building . Find a building that fits its needs.
Moveot to middle of the country Kansas

@@carlfriend4100 Huh ! What do you mean ?
The real question is: WHO OWNS THOSE PROPERTIES AND WHO IS GETTING A PORTION OF THE FUNDS TO LEASE THEM?
That is a fantastic point . Follow the money.
Some of us are seeing multiple agencies imagined power that is not in their job description.
My question would be what is the actual purpose of needing a new headquarters right now when we're 31? Oh, I'm sorry. 33 trillion in debt
Sorry totally with respect, it's 36.7 trillion in debt..
@@delbertduran329 LMFAO exactly 💯
Raise taxes on the rich.
My point is there is absolutely no need for a new FDI headquarters just like regular police. What do they need all this new fancy equipment for every single year just to raise our taxes and spoil their officers?
It’s to put pelosi’s name in lights. She has obviously committed the criminal offense of insider trading since immediately McCarthy made a new law about profiting bc the committee she was on gave pre business , etc. hence insider trading . Her elite monetary worth I suspect comes from cheating. Martha Stewart went to prison for this. Pelosi I is not exception.
I for one do NOT want my tax dollars goin to the corrupt FBI!!!
Oh stop! They protect you and other civilians from international and external threats. Most that you are unaware of.
The FBI is not corrupt. What is corrupt is TOG lying constantly to the "least educated" among us that everything is falling apart and it's the dems fault. It's not.
Same here. They need to be cut all the expenses and man power they used to sit in front of a screen and censor posts, all the ones they paid to do it like Twitter and I suspect the LGBT. And no I won’t use the rest of the letters bc I was taught they are rude and condescending. Why would they need a grant when they a wealthy organization. I have a trans sister in law who says so. She paid for her own transition and is now reversing it with many health problems. The only reason I can think is to cause more division and monitor people’s posts. If you read this , it is beyond rude to call a person Qu..r, or a f.g. Trans also is for people actually undergoing hormone and lower surgery. Breast augmentation does not constitute trans. All these letters are ridiculous and suppressive. You may be able to convince the younger ones but the older ones remember being made slurs at using your verbiage now a days .
IF THE FBI DOESN’T LIKE THEIR WORK PLACE, HAVE THEM GO FIND HONEST WORK ELSEWHERE OR THEY CAN GO QUIT.
If the business you worked for moved to a new location because the new building has less maintenance issues and cost, you would complain about it?
I was all excited for a minute I thought they were talking about moving the IRS headquarters down to Huntsville Texas! Huntsville Texas has plenty of space for the headquarters
Don't give them a damn thing for them to dog us out while spending our money.
The foundational theory of Marxism is that it's only your money when the government gives it to you.
It always amazes me at how every democrat representative works overtime to cover for their corruptions!!!
Stop spending money for new buildings remodel old buildings. Americans are tired of paying and paying for new stuff for the government while we live in remodeled homes. Save money, because we don’t have any!!!

"underserved communities" : another B.S. concept. Community is not a racial designation. Community is a geographic area. Individuals need to "SERVE: themselves and their families. The government isn't here to "SERVE" diverse groups.
Community means whatever Communists say it means. So, you need to catch up the latest US Democratic Party scams. Half the party or more pivoted to Marxism before FDR won his first term in the White House. The KKK holdouts lasted until LBJ was forced to pivot from KKK fascism to FDR fascism. And the two wings have been merging since then under a woke definition for all of these things. Including The (Communist) Vanguard Party under Leninism even as they run a parallel Maoist style cultural revolution in Hollywood and every accredited "educational" institution.

And Ms Crocket seems to forget he has been found innocent of the things they immediately started lying and impeach him. It was found that Hillary offered a million dollars for Steele or who ever the spy was whistleblew and told on her and Pelosi. And yes they made it up. And they tried to set him up for any and everything they can try to indict him. Even taking the constitutional right of the people to vote for who they want. I don’t particularly like Trump but when I stopped watching CNN telling me to hate him every day and the laptop wasn’t even real. I began watching house hearings and one foreign and local Chanel who the people talked live. Amd found the laptop was real. Pelosi also locked the people out of hearings so we couldn’t hear what was going on. And everything Trump said would happen did. The dems sound like CNN to me. I was highly upset when I found out they lied and continue to.
This is so refreshing to see someone who willingly answers questions in a professional manner. Thank you so much.
i agree! mayorkas is horrible when answering. he’s not rude but just doesn’t answer the question.

WE ARE VERY SICK OF THE MEANS OF WHO WORKS FOR YOU DOES THE CHECKING ON IF IT IS A RIGHT CHOICE! THIS IS VERY CONCERNING!
The dems are always wanting to sway from the American ways, constitution, etc. They are always saying republicans won’t work with the democrats . When in reality they won’t work with republicans including the senate. Mr Goldman is mad bc the republicans are doing to them but for good reason . The dems are always trying to stop progress for the American people. They made a 5,000 page omnibus and passed it with excessive spending. Now the bureaucrats are being cut to not only help with the budget but to make these agencies pull back into their approved rolls and stop illegal activity with criminal punishment . Only a select few can file fisa warrants and can be criminally charged for not being complete instead of wording it to get a water. They can no longer go through the back door to get warrants on American citizens. And the person MR Goldman is complaining about does not trust democrats and doesn’t want them present.
1540 everyone in judicial standing needs to be linking goods and services distribution. That was what we were having a problem with. We couldn't get the supplies we needed because someone else was filtering our money into jails prisons nursing homes, orphanages, homeless shelters, domestic violence, shelters, refugee camps, and behavioral hospitals while building the war. So you always had the weakest members running the diversion
We've gotten along this long without it. Must not need it.
True. There are building near by they can use or share with other acronym government agencies.
How dare him ,how much time do they spend in their offices,4 hours a day with a lunch break paid by the tax payers
Low production in federal agencies is now the norm. Yes, dismantling these agencies will be so good for the country!
Someone who has lost his touch on reality about the productivity of remote workers shouldn't be on an oversight committee. No wonder our government is dysfunctional
This.
The problem appears to be Congress itself 15 years talk about waste.How much has been spent on committees??
Exactly.!The agencies themselves are trying their best to save government spending,as working during covid showed people are even more productive working around their families from home.!Comer & Jordan are just being so ignorant by running these committees,but not asking the right questions & not giving the witnesses a chance to give their answers.!!!😮😮
Some hounds just can’t be done remotely! Kamala and not going to the border as border czar is a good example!

Mr Goldman gets off the subject , personally attacks and slurs republicans then complains when the republicans do the same. And he is wasting so called valuable time by even speaking about other things. He could pass or ask a legitimate question to hurry through it to reach a goal he has in mind. I almost want to fast foreword through what the dems have to say bc they go against our constitution as work against the republicans with slurs and non important rhetoric.
But since a lot of people won't go read it, maybe there needs to be more hearings telling the world the truth of what they have been up to and how long...
But,as absolutely horrified I am at spending ANYMORE on the FBI. I have to say, she answers questions, knows her information... Is respectable and intelligent. I must say no matter what the politics are I think she is the best person for this job. Congress gives her agency it's orders. This is what a honorable soldier does
And she explains it’s the agency requesting , not her agency. Then it should be up to the house if they need to spend money on these things. And hopefully they ask the people for ideas first before granting these things. Battery operated vehicles are not the best choice for people who have to travel far distances period. People who are secretaries etc I would think are local people given a job and do not use company vehicles. I bet if it were made brown or ms Lee’s personal company and had to spend their own money they would not make this change period . For fake climate crisis or any other fake reason. Before you jump me for saying fake climate crisis. Think about the almost pure methane gas pipe line Biden blew up. Think about the over 1,400 jets in the parking lot of the WEF or WCI ( world climate initiative, same people). And the huge gas guzzling SUV’s to take them up to the building. Think of their footprint which they say “ we need them to get around”. No , they don’t need them more than anyone else. They could have started out days ahead, flew by airlines , premium coach, business , or first class and driven the rest of the way. The 1,400 jets are equivalent to 334,000 combustion engines being on the road all at one time. Now they are saying cows and pets flatulence and growing foods are causing too much emissions. Over 3,000 farms have been seized in Holland. The WHO is trying to add these things to their constitution and be mandated in the USA. They took billions in bribes from China to lie about where the Covid 19 virus came from. Pfizer executive caught on video telling how they are doing a process equivalent to gain of function and that it is their cash cow when people get sick and to give vaccines without penalty for the people it kills or causes lasting debilitating health problems for . Biden broke the law and constitution when he made our military take experimental vaccines. Now he wants the men and women back that refused to take it. Btw all you young folks, look up the dust bowl and volcano Eruptions, earthquakes, hurricanes , and floods. And the highest temp in the summer of 1900. These things have been going on since the beginning of time. True scientists will tell the truth that ALL of man’s doings , including fossil fuels accounts for less than 0.03% effects on climate. When you are young and haven’t experienced these things it’s easy to persuade you they haven’t when they have been much worse.
26:00 She states that funds have been diverted from the intent originally passed by Congress. Shades of S.S. is what I see that is standard practice today by all indications.
Exactly. Diverting funds, appropriated by Congress for a specific purpose, is akin to white collar crime. It is bait and switch by definition. And as long as our corrupt current administration has it's hands in our pockets and their thumb on these agencies, we are going to be treated as subjects of an authoritarian regime instead of citizens of a Constitutional Republic.
No surprise that those in positions of highest power want to undermine to One agency of law enforcement capable of holding them accountable To the law

Which is? The one that lied to protect the Biden family? The one that used the Steele Dossier as credible evidence and an email that was altered by one of their employees? The one that spied on Americans who were no threat? That is the one that will hold people accountable?

If people would just go actually read the docs that were unclassified! That would be and should be more than enough reason to not only not give them a new building but possibly even put them out of business once and for all. I think its funny they want to say only certain people are terrorists, how they want to say that violence is the only form of terrorism... Ridiculous.

Has anyone figured out the total loss to the american taxpayers for the staggering loss of property and military hardware, equipment, tools, and weapons deliberately abandoned ?

That's not in fact true IMO that ARE in fact paid to 'blab' FOR THEIR voters. (Legislate, litigate, fact find, attend and address meetings, rallies AND COMMITTEE'S where theirs a lot of 'blabbing supposedly on behalf of the constituency.
They get PAID to attend committee's so if they aren't present they shouldn't get paid🤷♂️ I wouldn't get paid and I doubt you would if we didn't turn up for our assigned duties or responsibilities🤔
If they were employed in the REAL WORLD they wouldn't get paid for not attending they'd probably get the SACK
Jim Jordan Truth Speaker 100 percent
God Bless Jim Jordan 🙏🙏🙏
Ms. Brown (OH): "...the mere fact that someone has to [ask] why or what the purpose of DEI training is is the very reason we need more of it. Until we get to a place of parity and equity for people that look like me--black and brown people in this country...I'm also excited about GSA's efforts to strengthen support and sustain women and minority owned businesses..."
In her own words, she clearly states how she views "equity" and for whom: black and brown people [only], women, and minorities. She is supposed to represent all peoples from her district--not a select few as she seems to prefer. Do you think that she would have a problem if someone voiced support to promote businesses owned by straight white males? How about support for all peoples to receive equal treatment and opportunity? This racist and bigoted person has no place in our goveernment. Do better Ohio!
I am also brown and I am sick of excuses for the lack of ambition and productivity. I am a woman who has been very busy working to improve my family's place in this world. I taught my children to work for everything they want, and to not blame anyone else for their failures, and to learn from them. Opportunities are everywhere and all you have to do is go after them. So stop complaining and piling blame on white folks because life didn't hand you rainbows and unicorns. That internet you complain on is an educational gold mine.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Bravo!!
Everybody at sometime in their lives, I'm sick of the color issue.
Black and brown produce little to nothing these days
So the Biden administration has the rock solid answer to questions! I'll have to circle back!
My question for them is. Do you get dizzy circling back all the time?
FBI you make do like the Rest of us !
45:30 She adds to previous comments that even with an increase of 82% office space is going to decrease & save us billions of dollars. This is not even close to "New Math" this is "Political Speak" clean & simple. I've never been able to make that happen in my career & nobody else on earth in my lifetime has either at home or government been able to pull that off. It would be like perpetual energy if it were done.
I like how he says we’re in a forty year low in productivity but if you zoom out the whole chart for our entire history it’s just 📈
Government is so wasteful when it cost millions to figure out what brand of toilet paper to use
I would have to agree that they should get to build a new building. If of course they were doing what they were supposed to be doing instead of going after innocent American citizens and weaponizing against the republican party particularly Donald Trump. I think if they want money I need to straighten up there I can prove that they’re worthy of the investment first!
They need to get rid of the FBI they DOJ, and also get rid of board education because apparently they have no clue what the fuck they’re doing, and it should be up to the towns to run the school board at their district
You have already over spent Americans tax dollars by trillions of dollars and these idiots just keep spending. Really makes sense doesn't It ,?????
Here go “Mr China lover!!! Rakin
Go cook something.
This woman is not going to work and the tax payers are still paying her a check! She should be fired or cut her pay if she's not working.
Where did they get these people from Mr. Jordan knows what he’s doing
Keeping the FBI handcuffed to an old facility let's the mice play while the cats away.. FBI should have a state of the art facility that is easily overseen by the governing parties. Keeping the waters muddy allows them to get away with many misdeeds that have lately
I've been paying taxes for over 40 years. And I am very upset to know that this is where some of my money goes into this three letter agency
Do you have any idea how many ways the FBI keeps Americans safe?
@@pamelapeterson2987not
Anymore they are being used as political arm of the democrat party
This is a twirp needs removed from office ASAP we don't need these Hypocrites in Congress.
FBI HAS TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR PARDONING HILLARY AND OTHER ACTIONS NOT IN THE SCOPE OF PRACTICE! DEFINE TO A "T" WHAT IS AND IS NOT THE SCOPE OF PRACTICE SO AMERICANS CAN BE PART OF EVALUATING THE FBI PRACTICES TO DATE!
26.8% of American Indian and Alaska Natives, 19.5% suffer most from poverty
Comer is doing something right when the democrats attack him.
Maga logic🤪
Actually he isn’t and if they are in opposition to his assertions it’s because they’ve done research into the issues pros and cons. They don’t just pull a rabbit out of a hat stating it’s factual or saying what they think as fact. I’d suggest you check facts such as remote workers are actually more productive than in office workers.

Dim Logic: Men can get pregnant 🤣🤣
@@kathys3919 Yah! What we need is a bigger FBI to investigative parents at school boards.
@@turnerfrank-pw3biyou are right, men can get pregnant, males can’t.
Wow there it is. Proof, working remotely (home etc,) screams a smaller facility for the FBI NOT larger.
Put the FBI in a FEMA camp by the border😮
Let them work from home!!! Save the U.S. Dollar!!!! Its not your money! Its the tax payer money!
SAVE THE DAM MONEY!!!!
Go Jim Jordan!
Jim Jordan what a stud! Take them to the mat Jim!
Just like all the kids he "coached".
This should be tabled a couple year's so we can have a better look at it.
Not sure we should be funding a tyrannical organization.
The Republican Party, in a nut shell.
Thank you Mr. Jordan for the work you do.
How many "working days" are there for members of Congress? And if you are a member of this majority, what "work" are you even doing? If he held himself to the grilling he's giving her...well.
Wait, let me get this straight....FBI agents ....who are a "field" resource ... should be in an office building? No, no thank you. Get OUT of the office building. This antiquated notion that people can only "work" in an office building is ridiculous.
All of us U.S. Citizen want this! Quit using the tax payers money like its yours!!
love the Vivek speak.. wish he'd start in on the Biden scandal..
maybe once he realizes he's not going to win he'll "let loose" lol!
Anything to own the libs right? Irregardless of actual real things that need to get accomplished.

Very knowledgeable interview and sharing of facts. Thank you
Lies and Corruption ? YOU ALL NEED TO GO, WE ARE SICK OF THIS ! B.S.!
I HOPE I SEE THE DAY WHEN YOU STOP WASTING TAX DOLLARS !
Also when GOP Connolly a farmer complaining about remote workers states probably the most ridiculous saying ever. “When bees leave the hive they aren’t making honey.” True but no honey could be made in the hive if the foraging bees stayed in the hive. No pollen no wax, no nectar no honey, no honey hive dies of starvation. So his example shows the ignorance of his belief that remote workers aren’t working as hard as in office persons which is not supported by research.
What research has been done to prove that remote workers do as good job as those in an office? Show me! Most Americans see the exact opposite! I deal with incompetent, unavailable termite workers every day! Good try though.
Why if you’re getting rid of property would you be building more
Ahhh Jordon pontificating again is so disgusting,annoying and tiring.
Connolly only needs to make himself more informed because before Covid a NASDAQ listed company experimented with some employees work from home and same number at office. Remote workers were 13% more productive. Leaders in their 50’s and 60’s FEEL remote is less productive. Old school isn’t always right. Remote workers call out less as well.
OMGoodness… LET HER ANSWER!!!
