I am so angry. They sit there and put the squeeze on us and do it with a smile.
Yes that smile is just a slap in our faces
Its a very toothy smile... ;)
Nothing lies like a smile. My dad used to say.
😢😢😢 incompetent individuals
That is not a smile, it's a smirk.
She is openly laughing at the American people, greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪✝️🕊🙏☘️🇺🇸
And there's many like her in office brother.
I agree. The whole world is laughing at this country and they know the longer biden is in the better it is for country's like China, Russia to anything they want
God help America. Greetings from London 🇮🇪☘️
She cannot answer a single question with a straightforward response. Very telling.
Confusion isn't from Christ.
Foolish evil not qualified
well, gotta stay elusive when you're walking a tightrope between admitting your wrong doings or commit perjury ^^
DEI is the best answer.
And she is always smiling
The fact she “ has been in this industry for decades “ is the problem
We need to stop putting “Hon.” in front of the names of the people being questioned before congress.
That woman is clearly not qualified to do THAT JOB. WE'RE SO SCREWED!
DEI
They know what they are doing they DON'T CARE
@@markusa5521 they do not want you to own a home!!!!!
@@SlumberSource Absolutely.
1000%
This woman should not be in the position she is in. Period!
Meets the DEI criteria
If she was white she sure wouldn't be! Just answer the questions as asked 😢
She ticked three boxes. Liberal, Female and Black. Competence in the job is not a box that needs to be ticked for Biden's admin.
@@robertrichmond1491 And incompetence.
I live near a Big Chemical plant, have worked inside the plant on numerous construction projects over 30 years. This DEI criteria is what they are now using to place administrative and operations personnel. Several incidents have happened in recent years. It is beyond insane everywhere.
Im a 60 year old man and still waiting for a politician to answer a question.
Trust me when I say, Hell WILL freeze over and you will STILL be waiting!
You mean a Dem Socialist! I have been watching these hearings for years now and not one Dem has answered a question, much less honestly! Word salad remains along with severe TDS lies! Day after day I watch this happening! Republicans comply while Dem Socialist refuse to show for a subpoena, much less cooperate with serious questions that Real Americans WANT answers to! And we have a right to accountability where there seems to be zero with this most corrupt administration!
@@eylsnokissile6608 actually donald trump answers any question asked to him and he admits now he is a politician now
Just today I paid $100 for 20 gallons of gas (used to be about $60), $175 at Walmart for the same items I used to get for $90, & Dr. visit for $240 that used to be $130. It’s ridiculous.
Complete incompetence. She has no idea what she's doing.
And that's why she is part of the Biden administration
Disagree, she knows exactly what she's doing!
Smiling and singing like a jail bird=they want our Monies!!!!
And yet says she's been in the industry for 20years! Apparently with her head up her A$#/
Unlike Kennedy who twists some potential facts. Blaming inflation on the President rather than results of pandemic, supply issues, global issues, just to name a few. Just because one speaks in ahh shucks southern drawl does not make him credible.
Is she another DEI hire
Must be the entire administration hates us
@bethanthon5340 DEI=Didn't Earn It? 🤣
Of course.
Did Covid keep her from getting those choppers fixed?
YES, didn't earn it.
I love Senator Kennedy. He is a modern day version of Mark Twain. He is so smart, witty, funny and outspoken and he is never afraid to call out these people on their lies.
Her parents should have spent their money on an Orthodontist, instead of her Liberal Arts College education.
Right?
She would be so attractive if she had her teeth fixed
She has such
Pretty hair
Gorgeous skin
She smiles and all you can see is a train wreck
Come on lady
It's 2024
Amen!
Incompetent and no answers!
As is SOP for anyone from the Biden Administration who called to testify to the various Committees in both Houses.
Fire her. She is the definition of unqualified.
Definition of DEI too
Being unqualified is exactly how she got the job.
Unfortunately, she works at the pleasure of the president. And Biden's not about to fire her, because she's doing exactly what he wants.
There is a difference between qualified and competent. They only hire qualified people, competent is another matter. Clearly, nearly everyone that I've seen that Biden has appointed is incompetent. People that have a degree, but don't know how many weeks in a year is an example between qualified and competent.
I've worked with them. A person had an economics degree from an ivy league college. Didn't know what a supply and demand curve was. Had never heard of it.
All the appointments in the Biden Administration are not qualified for most any job!
She sed she worked there for decades.she should have been fired decades ago 😮
She don't give a damm, as long as she gets hers!
She is the problem.
She needs to be fired and investigated
Follow the money. Check Soros funds too
It’ll never happen, unfortunately
No specific explanation, just rhetoric delivered with an evil, gap toothed smile. Absolutely disgraceful…
You would think with her income she would get that fixed
@darkwind2024
Not everyone thinks that's unattractive. I don't like what's coming out of her mouth, however.
When she spoke I jumped in fright at her grill! Makes that kind of money yet doesn’t even address her teeth!?! Wow
If we charge these so called officials 40% of their pay for every unanswered question, we would get answers.
She finds it as a big joke
She’s making a quarter of $1 million a year doesn’t affect her
Term and Salary Limits, Yearly performance and tax Audits. No pensions or perks for the Unfit
Yep and that’s what it’s all about. Just breathe, relax. Their day will come when they will no longer be in power.
EXACTLY 💯
They just want to put our money in their damn pockets steal from our taxes so it will make them money in their own pockets
@@sophiagertz1083 I hope you're right.
That sickly smirk says all I need to know about this person
Narcissistic
Shes so annoying and im so sick of all their lies and excuses!
What does this woman actually know? She had nothing in front of her and still blames everyone but the person who has caused all of this! I respect this man 💯%.
Her smug smile knowing that none of this affects her is frustrating and moves me to anger. And it should the rest of you as well😊
I can’t say the things that should be said! This is insane!
She seems so proud and confident, but if she thinks she's doing a good, job she's wrong.
just doing what her masters are telling her to do. they put her there because everything just bounces off.
@@InFamousProductions she got the participation ribbon at work for showing up, didn't do any thing, not smart enough.
These are the same group of people who don't know what a woman is.
Our country is broke because biden sent all our money to Ukraine.
@@waynekolvoord968I disagree. She’s doing exactly what she was hired to do….screw us over
Pure incompetence 🤦🏻♂️
I got it!!!! Just answer I don't have those numbers over and over again. No accountability!
You should never trust someone who smiles that much when answering serious questions.
Smiling while answering is very Karen Bass
@firefighter1265 especially with that smile
Especially when she has a very twisted, evil, creepy smile. It's the vacant smile of a Cult Member. She reminds me of the girls who followed Charles Manson 😂😂
She's only there because of DEI.
@@FunStuff-zc3psLooks like she flossed with firecrackers.
she works for HUD but doesn't have the numbers.....who ARE these people they appoint?
You really need to ask?😮
They're demonic to the bone
@@ernest9606And I would say that isn’t hyperbole. At all. Don’t let me get started.
Well, “merit” is racist. “DEI” is what rules, to them. Competence be damned.
@@catwoman2582 it was rhetorical.lol
Definitely Exceptionally Incompetent
She doesn't appear to be aware of much.
Her constant smiling as if it was a joke was disrespectful beyond words. And to try and pass this off on the "pandemic" is INSULTING beyond words. We are years after that mess. The supply chain matters and other "global" issues have been corrected. The giant increased are because of Biden and his Administration polices. And as for home costs, and "not being built"... HOGWASH.
The clip ends with her giggling at Kennedy's closing questions. She is treating it like a game. I wonder if DEI had anything to do with her getting the job 🤔
Amen to your statement.
She makes over $175k with massive benefits and unlimited expenses… and probably hasn’t been to a new home development that accepts FHA, VA Financing, or a government subsidized housing project, … her solution is, of course, is More Government subsidies for utilities…. Another example of the Modern Monetary Policy where printing money is the answer to All Problems… they actually want a 7-8% inflation rate and 6-8% unemployment… it’s in the plan… google MMT
@@ice_creamatoriumDEI = everyone gets a diploma and a trophy.
She blames Trump by saying "in the past decade"
What a nightmare she is
She can't even answer a simple question...
Fire this D.E.I. hire...
Anyone who smiles ear to ear while talking about rampant inflation should not be called "honorable". Period.
Look at her smirking.
They are taught that.
She knows she is untouchable. Melanated master über race !
@2012escapeel this is a tough one to look at
Someone in the Obiden administration felt she was the best candidate available for the position. Is "Incompetent fool" part of the DEI thing?
I see what you did there. 👍🏻
Well, because Biden was the top incompetent fool, she was proud to have placed second.
She ain't the best, she's Acting..!
Yes, it is.
KENNEDY FINDING PLENTY OF POTHOLES IN THE BIDEN SYSTEM ORCHESTRATED BY OBAMA.
I don't trust anyone who smiles like that with every answer.
This woman doesn't care and would not do anything about it.
The Secretary is just smiling so happily about prices going up.
Another box checker, I'm shocked I tell ya!
Why not, her portfolio is packed with stocks related to building.
@@MrOldclunkerI don't think this one's even smart enough to trade a stock.
Because she’s got herself a nice big fat paycheck and a great retirement plan. She’s set for life.
Well, they know they can’t be fired, no matter how incompetent they are.
She doesnt care as long as she has a career that pays her over $100,000.
$250K
@@captnwinkle Damn!
in communism the only people who make money are politicians , and they want the big bucks .
More, plus kick backs!
DEI. Is the whole thing.
she finds this a big joke crazy .. she has no answers or solves any problems... how are these people in power
Yes, Everything Undesirable has been Increasing under Liberal Administrations.
She looks so proud for all her hard work to bring us down.
Senator Kennedy is a national treasure. ❤
@RonCahoon
He is great! Anytime I see him I think oh this is going to be good! Not for the person on the receiving end though! He gives me faith that there are still sane, smart, caring, good people.
He "talks" a good game. But just like the Democrats. He puts American citizens last. And isareal, Ukraine and cheap un documented labor comes first
I was just saying this.. him…sen Cruz..MTG
I think he is great, but I believe he speaks even slower than I do.
😃☺😃😆 hero??? Where and when.
Not a demacrate eather. Wolf in sheep clothing.
Senator Kennedy love the way you tell it like it is👏🇺🇸
These politicians go to a hearing and know they are going to get questioned and never have the answers!!
The HUD secretary seems to think this is funny
...and she is in a meeting where she has no notes or information she should have.
@@ejames6431she’s black. You expect a good job
@@Troy342EXACTLY!!!!
Clown shows are funny!
She's Embarrassed
Not surprising. This administration is pathetic from top to bottom
Yes. The reason I haven't bought a house is because it wasn't expensive enough.
Pay her a dollar a year she's still over paid.
Don’t piss on my back and tell me it’s raining
Is she laughing at at him ? 👀
But what if it is raining when someone pisses down your back?
Con Man Kennedy pisses himself in the senate daily.
@@TheMeanArenathen it’s piss water
My electricity costs in California have more than double since Biden took office I’m pretty sure that’s more than 100% increase in electrical costs
Forget about it 😮
First problem..........you stay in California.
@@TheMeanArena Unfortunately health and age mean I'm stuck in CA. I wish it wasn't so.
Same here in Maine. Double my electric bill in 3 years. 100% increase
Then the people of California better start voting their democratic leaders out of office. Imo you can't keep making the same mistake and expect different results. Imo
Can you see what's wrong with her ? We are mad as '' HELL '' !
How is it possible to vote for this lunacy???
Why the hell is she so smug and laughing ,,,u couldn't make it up 😮
They need to remove the title of “Honorable” from her title.
And this is what running our country !!!
I can't believe these people come before Congress unprepared.
Unbelievable.
Good Job, Senator Kennedy keep up the good work. You are Priceless
You ARE PRICELESS, Sir. I love knowing when you are called to begin your questioning, knees are knocking and sweat is pouring!!!
Kennedy, doesn't hold back & questions very tough BUT respectful. Those # ers, HUD should definitely be watching. Homes will be overvalued & no one to cover loans. Plus, IF there's still supply chain issues. How are contractors going to implement these upgrades ???
@@mvjr7758 He has a method of asking leading questions, then talks over the witness and later refers to that statement as if it's true. He's what my dad called a bullshitter.
She sounds like a broken record
She may of well left a take recorder on loop saying “I don’t have that information right now”
A corrupt broken record to begin...
Yes, only more annoying.
So does this guy kennedy
What a creep
The definition of NPC.
Senator Kennedy should have his own stand up special. He takes no prisoners and equally, no 💩.
She needs to have that smug look removed from her face.
A year or two in jail should help with that.
Every day my respect for Senator Kennedy grows.
I wish i lived in Louisiana so i can vote for him.❤️🇺🇲
Facts. Facts. Facts.
Showing percent increases per administration is astounding with the Joey administration.
FJB
This woman belongs in jail. She’s a crook.
Can we just address the elephant in the room? Our government is the worst organized crime syndicate this world has ever seen.
Once again we scratch our heads and wonder where these people came from.
Another liar testifies
Senator Kennedy, YOU ARE ONE OF THE “GOOD GUYS”!! It’s good to know that men like you are alive!! Grateful for your efforts!!❤😊
They don't care unless it touches their pocketbook.❤
My rent is half my income now..its doubled in the last 3 years
Disgusting
I encourage you to save (where you can) & buy when mortgage rates are u see 5% again
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION AT WORK
OMG, I wanted to say it !!!
She like the majority of DC doesn't care what the average American says or values.
You can run, but you can't hide! Facts are Facts!
Why is this women constantly smiling? THIS IS NOT A JOKE!
I don’t think she has any emotion about her answers, but her teeth are the rubber stamp of the Democrat party.💰
Fear.
she's evil. she likes what she hears
A Harris relative most likely.
Senator Kennedy is a national treasure.
Why? He's doing nothing to fix it. Just complaining.
@@DaTooch_e What is he supposed to do? Have any ideas??
What changes actually made once exposing such things look at that Majorca guy after they Sen Kennedy exposed him look what happened to him nothing
seems they put on the shows it seems like theater just entertaining us with no action really being done to make change …..
So this is what our tax dollars are paying for
I often say this yes our tax dollars are truly hard at work but sadly sadly never for the American people
@@dh190852Kennedy sure doesn't ...sell fear and be incompetent is the GOP motto
@@DaTooch_eSenator Kennedy’s job, here, is appropriations oversight of the administration. He is highlighting a way for the administration to achieve their “human right” goal of affordable housing by eliminating this extra cost of requiring homeowners to pay for energy-saving features costing an extra $32,000.
As a senator, he has to rely on HUD to eliminate that extra cost. Unless he can use his position on the Senate Appropriations Committee to withhold appropriations from HUD until she does remove that stipulation, perhaps.
Love, love, love you Mr. Kennedy!!! You should run for president!;!!❤❤❤
Tell me she got this position because of her intellect and her academic background and not because she’s black please God let it be because he’s qualified because that’s a big position to hold and she is failing miserably and she’s just trying to protect Joe
very obvious she checked the box for the administration
Gotta luv how Mr. Kennedy knows more about theirs jobs then they do. Always! He makes them all look like fools! And his delivery is delightful!
Yet another lady in power - gee, when will we ever learn.
I love you Senator. Kennedy. You are so knowledgeable and won't let these people sway your opinion which is the truth. I am so Impressed by you!!
Thank you Sen. Kennedy, for making this information available...and making changes.
God he is so annoying.
Thank you Sen. Kennedy for annoying the idiots in our country! 👍🏻
Another DEI hire
Sadly, yes. Word salad producer as well as oxygen thief!
@dutchreagan3676 😂😂😂oxygen thief can be used as the root cause of loss of brain cells 😅
Didn't Earn It. 😊
Who wants a heart operation from a person who was a DEI hire? Not me!
I said the same thing
She’s the new definition of smug.
Looking at her smile as she is being questioned, she thinks it's a joke. As asked, she looks at the interviewer's smile and assumes they are joking.
There are extra taxes on all utilities since obiden stole the office. My electric bill has over $125 just in the extra taxes. This craziness is killing us seniors. This will not get obiden votes. I'm voting for President Trump again. God bless President Trump and his family
👑🙏💞✝️🐾🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯
the most significant factor in the rise of electicity prices under Biden is the emphasis upon building solar panel farms and windmill farms while trying to retire coal plants and restrict nuclear and gas plants. the states which have the most solar panels and windmills have the highest electricity costs.
My house insurance doubled. I had to replace my central unit, it cost $11,000. My city taxes went up 30%, as well as my county taxes from 2022 to 2023. My grocery bill has gone up at least 25%. Gasoline, electricity, everything has increased and ALL of the things I've listed are still increasing daily. Biden and his socialist Democrats have shattered the country, and do not care.
To my understanding when the HUD person mentioned pandemic , that the pandemic was apparently created to to make the cost of living higher from what Senator Kennedy was stating the numbers were overwhelming and what is interesting that this was at the end of President Trumps term there is something very suspicious about this electing president Trump is not going to drain the swamp . something bigger has to do it and that would have to be the people of this country in there own individual states this Hud person what is she laughing about she gets a check from the people who pay her salary i cant believe i feel like i am living in modern day Rome
I had a solar fee added on my electric bill and other fees all itemized by National Grid. I asked about this solar fee since I couldn’t have solar on my property. NGrid explained that it’s a fee charged by all households that do not have solar. “Oh ok so I see how this works, you’re fining people.” SMH 🤦♀️
I live alone in a tiny apartment and I basically live at work (60-70+hrs a week spent at work) and my electric bill is over $100-150/mo. Sorry but that makes zero sense, especially considering I used to spend more time at home back in 2018-2020 and my electric bill was actually UNDER $80-100/month.
You can always tell the bad guys because they REFUSE to answer questions directly.
" I don't have ANY numbers in front of me ....ever"
Everyone laughs. Everyone smiles. No one goes to jail.
That person, not lady, is abysmal.
Impeach Biden!
💯💯💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
But then we'd Princess Kameltoe
Biden cannot be impeached because that would make Harris President. And HE knows it (the real reason he picked her).
This woman knows nothing. She’s not pretending. And yet she occupies this position of power.
Another woke green activist hire.
Is this woman for real? She doesn't know much or she is lying...
It's not an "either, or" proposition with this administration. They're all incompetent liars and each and every one of them passes an ideological litmus test and is a diversity hire.
She knows, and she's lying.
unlike Senator corn pone, she knows the White House does not control interest rates
@@riverotter68 But the economy is part of the failure of the Biden policies
Love this man! National treasure.❤❤❤❤❤❤
She looks very happy as she boldly lies.
This is insanity that they won't call out! Omg who is running this place?!
The enemy.
