Mr. Attorney General, you started with a conclusion that there was an increase in threats.

Are you aware that Director Wray a couple months ago in sworn testimony implicated you in a sweeping abuse of power?

You certainly don't think he would knowingly give false testimony to this Committee, do you?

Even though your own FBI Director says there was no justification for it you will not retract it?

I have to ask you now, in retrospect was there a compelling law enforcement justification for the memo?

No school is going to want to take on that litigation risk.

Unfortunately, in April of this year, the Department of Education proposed a rule that, if adopted, would flip Title 9 on its head.

I am here to address another way in which gender ideology destroys women and girls, and that is by dissolving legal protections for women in athletics.

You, sir, have betrayed Constitutional order, neglected your duty, and violated the trust of the American people.

If this isn't about votes, if this isn't about votes, one-party rule, keeping the Democrats in power, I make this suggestion: If you put the American people first, you should refer back to Trump's border policies.

Mr. Mayorkas, there's a reason why you and Joe Biden have allowed 5.5 million people to cross our Southern border.

It's hard to argue that we're manufacturing outrage when we look at these incredible, sad things happening under your watch.

Don't you think we should be outraged about cartels moving into American cities on this side of the border under your watch?

Don't you think that we should be outraged about the thousands dying from fentanyl that's coming across the border under your watch?

Are the folks across the aisle not outraged about the millions of people that are coming across the border under, of course, your watch, most of whom probably don't qualify for asylum?

If our taxpayer dollars are being used to fund an operation whereby we're encouraging illegal immigration, we're encouraging through funding these organizations people to make these deadly treks across our Southern border, it seems to me…

So, the American should know how many grants and contracts are awarded to the NGO's. That's a fair request, right?

Should that be public information? Should we know how much money they're receiving for their operations?

Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services reported it received 179 million dollars in U.S. Government grants.

Just to be specific, Catholic Charities received over 1.4 billion dollars from the United States taxpayers for their operations encouraging illegal immigration.

Countless NGO's, nongovernment organizations, provide ways and means to illegal immigrants to cross the border and stay here indefinitely.

I believe, without the authority, or without any oversight.

I'm very disappointed in how they have operated. The HISA was intended to improve safety and fairness in horseracing. It's fallen short of its promises.

I am disappointed in some of my colleagues that have said disparaging remarks about you.

I believe you did that.
