Debbie Wasserman Schultz

If I might inquire how much time I have remaining. The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Florida has 2 minutes remaining.

I think there's no question that there's an overemphasis on measuring--trying to quantify pain.

The elephant in the room, to me, is that this pain scale still exists.

I hope, since you are the president of the AMA, that you would lead that effort.

But you do think it needs to be changed.

I'm an appropriator, so I'm very familiar with the reprogramming process.

Yet actions speak louder than words. I'm a show me person, not a tell me person.

However, we really have very few details about its exact mission, its budget, and its staffing.

I think the evidence demonstrated by the answers to my questions show that actions are not matching the words.

Unfortunately, that's a fairly low prioritization in terms of the chain of command as far as the expression of significant commitment that combating domestic terrorism requires.

The lack of transparency from top to bottom in this Administration is stunning, and it diminishes voters' confidence in our election system.

His actions, particularly as it relates to not taking it seriously enough to even bother to have an election security briefing in advance of the 2020 elections, is mind-blowing.

His words and deeds have demonstrated that he doesn't think that there was Russian interference.

President Trump has repeatedly publicly expressed doubt about Russian foreign interference in our elections.

I asked you then if the President had received a briefing from you or anyone in your Department on potential Russian interference in our elections in 2020, and you said he had not received a briefing.

The last time we spoke was on May 1st, when you testified before the Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security, and at that hearing you raised serious concerns about Russian operatives attempting to influence our 2020 elections.

It's in the billions of dollars, okay. So I think it's safe to say that if we're spending 4,000--if we have a 4,000 percent unfair, egregious, outrageous profit, that we are really affecting our military's readiness and our ability to make…

So, Mr. Fahey, TransDigm owns the rights for thousands of parts used to fix and maintain our military equipment.

The third-highest number... of anti-Semitic incidents since ADL began tracking.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself, and you owe the taxpayers millions of dollars that I hope your company decides to make sure that you do on your own.

What you just said doesn't pass the straight face test because it's tap dancing, inaccurate, and incongruent with the facts.

The way it works here is that we ask the questions and you answer them when we're ready for you to answer them, okay?

I think it's safe to say that if we're spending 4,000--if we have a 4,000 percent unfair, egregious, outrageous profit, that we are really affecting our military's readiness and our ability to make sure we can address mission-critical…

That's obviously not only an egregious swindling of taxpayer money, it also would appear to be a huge additional expense that is grossly irresponsible for the Department of Defense to have to bear.

And my understanding is when DOD needs a mission-critical part, you are oftentimes forced to buy it at an inflated price from TransDigm who, as has been stated here today, may earn a profit of more than 4,000 percent.
