Instead of talking, though, about issues, personal to voters, he spent 49 minutes on himself. Complaining about the judge in the e. Jean carroll case, saying once again, that he never met her. Now claiming the old photo of him and her could have been ai. It wasnt. Claimed he wasnt allowed to use a quote, Monica Lewinsky Type dress in the trial, even though he wanted to, that they, the doj and, quote, kamala and Sleepy Joe and all the rest of them should be looking at china instead of russia and that he hasnt spoken to anybody from russia in years, that jessica leads, the woman who accused him of groping her on an airplane decades ago wouldnt have, quote, been the chosen one, and that the People Magazine Writer who accused him of pushing hep against the wall and groping her at maralago was lying because of after the interview she wrote a perfect story about him where she does
Your perseverance and service to this nation, both the past, present and in the future too. Things arent getting a whole lot better any time soon, i fear. I would ask consent that my written Opening Statement be entered into the record. As a hearing on the border we havent had one for quite a few months, so i obviously need to use a chart. Thats really what i want to talk about in my opening comments. Weve held i think close to 40 hearings on some aspect of the issues on the border and with our broken immigration system, began keeping this chart on unaccompanied children but then as the whole issue with people coming across and exploiting our asylum laws coming as families, the problem just exploded in late 2018 and into 2019, and the main reason i want to show this chart, youll see the gold colored bars are single adults, down slightly, pretty persistent, pretty stable for the, you know, eight years this chart represents. What you do see, though, in red is unaccompanied children, blue

[applause] as somebody said, with that background, i was going to look like i had up floating had peered i apologize for that. Is great to be here with my fellow agents. It is especially great to be here with spouses and children of my fellow agents. Over the past few years ive had the opportunity to speak with President Trump on many occasions about Border Security, before and after his election. He has always been concerned about securing the border and he is constantly asked what do we need to better to get it done. Him, wascasion, i told giving him examples of his past successes and he suddenly interrupted me and said, muhammad ali was the greatest fighter in the world. Because he never dwelt on the past. He was always looking to the future. And how he could get better. He said, i do not to know about the past. I want to know what i need to do now and into the future to make this great nation
Subcommittee had in arraigning todays hearing arranging todays hearing. I. C. E. Declined to sit on the same panel with knack mote toe nakamoto, the contractor it chose. The departments lack of cooperation makes it more challenging for congress to do its job. At a meeting with dhs leaders, its important to the subcommittee to bring everyones voices together. Thats how we can best identify challenges and find ways to solve them. This issue is particularly important to me as two of i. C. E. s facilities detain upwards of 1300 migrants from in my home district. I visited these facilities, and i have concerns about some of the conditions of confinement. And im not alone in having these concerns. Dhss own office of Inspector General last year found these processes for oversight and con finement were insufficient to stay compliance with i. C. E. s own standards. It might be that inspectors are set up to fail. For example, i. C. E. Has a contractor who is responsible for evaluating compliance

It is deliver brexit, unite the country and defeat jeremy corbyn.
