Speaker 1: And maybe Marjorie Taylor GREENE should take a page out of the playbook of
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, because the same hearing, the very same hearing,
she was there to set an example for Marjorie Taylor GREENE and the rest of these nuts on how to
actually question and how to actually investigate and how to actually do your job of oversight.
Questioning the same man. AOC is actually getting to the bottom of actual fraud,
waste and abuse that is egregious and should be investigated, whether it's in a Republican state
or whether it's in a Democrat state. Watch this. Speaker 5: Is there any methodology you
can think of that would just result in Pennsylvania and New York and California?
Being under investigation by this committee? Speaker 4: Well, I would defer to the committee.
I don't really know what their their objectives were in that case, and I don't think I understand.
Speaker 5: Now, I wanted to go into this report. And according to this report,
TOPRAK For example, Arizona paid $1.6 billion to individuals to
stolen identities to get unemployment insurance benefits. Louisiana disbursed
more than 1 million to individuals after the date of their death. And in Kentucky,
state employees applied for unemployment benefits while still employed by the state and were able to
hack the state's information management system and remove holds on their own accounts. And none of
these states have been put under investigation by this committee. I find it very interesting because
as was stated at the beginning, the bipartisan nature of oversight is what gives it its power.
And what we are seeing are investigations into and I believe that that the methodology
for these three states is highly questionable. And I ask for this committee if we're going to
perform oversight, then let's perform oversight. Congressional Democrats are ready to perform that
oversight and help our constituents get the benefits they need to pay their bills. And I
think that there's no shortage of members of this committee who are willing to stand up to their own
party when it's necessary. But I cannot, for the life of me, understand why the majority
would send these three letters just to these three states that leave us with no other conclusion that
there may be some rank partizanship in this investigation. Committee Republicans. I ask
if we're going to start off, let's do it right. Speaker 1: That is a master class that should be
taken into account by every one of these dumb dumb Republicans and put into practice in their own
operation of their job. The fact that Pennsylvania, New York and California are under
the watchful gaze of the the House Oversight and Accountability Committee. Yet Kentucky, the home
state of the chairman of this committee, James Colmer, is laughable. That they were paying state
employees who were still working unemployment benefits and allowed them. And look, Kentucky
has a Democratic governor. And what Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is saying here is it doesn't matter
if we're going to be investigating corruption, let's investigate corruption. Let's let's
investigate the misuse and fraud and waste and abuse of taxpayer dollars that were meant for a
noble purpose during a global pandemic that rocked the planet. But instead they're ignoring Arizona.
They're ignoring Louisiana. They're ignoring. They're ignored in every other state. The other
47 states and territories and the District of Columbia where we have no representation.
Again, Republicans not doing their job because they're not there to accomplish anything other
than chaos, other than investigations. It's Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi
all over again, except they're using a different word. Because they're not there to accomplish
anything. They're not there to get anything done for the American people. And it's pointed out
expertly, masterfully by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. I am Jessy Dallimore. I'd love to have you
