I think we're 78% in my district. 78% in Mr. McGovern's district.
Maybe none of the Republican members want to mention it, but the gentleman, Republican gentleman from New York, there would be a 44% increase, $2,000 a year hit to his constituents and their healthcare costs. The distinguished gentleman from Virginia, His constituents would face an increase in $770 a year in their healthcare premiums.
The distinguished Republican chairwoman of this committee, a 60% increase in healthcare premiums. And that's on average. The distinguished Republican congresswoman here from Minnesota
was recently told here by the committee on the budget that a 60-year-old couple with a joint income of $85,000 a year in her district would see an $11,000 a year increase in their costs while we're giving tax cuts to billionaires. And what bothers me the most is that we want to hide it.
Nobody wants here to talk about the fact that they're jacking up insurance costs on their own constituents while giving a billionaire a tax break.
Nobody on the Republican side pushing this bill wants to have an in-person town hall and look their constituents in the face and explain to them why they want to hand Elon Musk another $25 billion contract while jacking up your health insurance costs, not just by hundreds, but by thousands of dollars. I yield back.
Du hast all diese Fragen von meinen Kollegen mit Bezug auf diese 165.000 Dollar in Kampagnen-Donationen nach der Erklärung, dass du nominiert worden bist, ist die Angst um die Möglichkeit, dass Versuche gemacht wurden, um das Geld zu verdienen. I just want to give you the chance to go over this with me. Did you promise any tax promoter you would help them if you got confirmed?
Okay. So you didn't meet with anybody when you were in town for the inauguration and promised them a private letter Okay. Okay. Mr. Long, our staff investigators have on tape now the tax promoter saying you met with him at the inauguration and promised him a favorable private letter ruling.
We also have on tape the White River CFO who gave you the thousands of dollars that he expects favorable treatment of these fake tribal criminals. Democratic Senator Baldwin, let's play it.
This is doctored, is that right?
Madam Secretary, I want you to have credibility, and I want you to be taken seriously. Is this doctored or is it not doctored?
Is it doctored or not doctored? Madam Secretary, I have a 7-year-old, a 6-year-old, and a 3-year-old. I have a bullshit detector. I'm just asking you, is this doctored or not doctored?
Okay, can you show the photo? Walk with the photo down there. No, that one. Please take a look at this photo. It was tweeted by the president on April 21. It's been hanging out there for about a month.

Now, Madam Secretary, you've heard this case today, but I have to speak about it one more time. I think it's really important. This is Andrew Romero. He had an appointment to come to this country to claim asylum. We gave him that appointment. The United States government gave him his asylum appointment. He comes for his appointment. He passes a credible fear interview.
He's a gentle person as described by his family. He's openly gay. He was leaving his country for persecution of being gay. He did everything right, claimed asylum, that was legal. And then we sent him to a dangerous prison at the border with no due process. There are claims about his tattoos. He has his parents' names on his tattoos. and two crowns that relate to a festival back in his hometown.
We are paying to lock this young gentleman up forever. What I would ask is the ambassador in El Salvador, we have asked for proof of life of Andri. He has had no access to lawyers or family since he has been taken over a month now. No one knows if he's even alive. His mother just wants to know if he is alive. So my ask to you, Madam Secretary, is the same that I asked the ambassador.
Can we do a proof of life check on Andri just to see if he is alive?
Would you commit to just letting his mother know, as a mother to mother, if Andrew is alive? He was given an asylum appointment by the United States government. We gave him an appointment. We said, Andrew, come to the border at this time to claim asylum. He was taken to a foreign prison in El Salvador. His mother just wants to know if he is alive. Can we check and do a...
Madam Secretary? You have said that she caught in El Salvador is one of the tools in the toolbox that you have. You have said that and have been quoted as saying that. You and the president have the ability to check if Andrea is alive and if not being harmed. Would you commit at least into looking and asking El Salvador if he is alive?
And I think you know very well that you could ask that question. What you're choosing to do, Madam Secretary, is disregard this young man's life, this young man's family, who was given an appointment by the United States. I think it is shameful that you won't even request to see if this young man is alive. His family has no idea, has no access to lawyers.
