No, no, no. Answer the questions I ask, please. I only have five minutes. Who pays tariffs? Sorry? Who pays tariffs? Mr. Secretary, please. Excuse me. The question is very simply, who pays tariffs, Mr. Chairman? I'd like him to answer that question. He wants to answer other questions.
Reclaiming my time. People pay tariffs, right? I'm reclaiming my time, Mr. Secretary. Reclaiming my time, Mr. Secretary. Reclaiming my time. You clearly aren't going to answer. I'm not going to waste my time having you go, uh, uh, uh, uh. Mr. Secretary.
It was due last week by law.
And your answer is you just understand you're not going to follow the law?
And you have no timeline?
Well, we also need a full budget request, not a single paragraph full of wild talking points that we saw with the skinny budget proposal. We're now having a budget hearing without a budget request. So, Director Patel, where is the FY2026 budget request for the FBI?

Either we go by the rules or we're out of here.
The document that you have up behind you is a misrepresentation of the actual post. It appears that you're trying to misrepresent a witness here who you use subpoena powers.
So, of course, Republicans on the Government Efficiency Committee are holding an emergency hearing on semi-pro fencing. Not fences like the kind that goes around a building, but like the sport with the swords. And I've knocked on thousands of doors and talked to thousands of Republican, independent, and Democratic voters in my career.
And not a single time has someone flung open their door and said, thank God you're here, Congressman. I want to ask you about transgender people fencing. It's just never happened. I've never even met a fencer before. I've just seen it on the parent trap. I'm sure it's a great sport, but what the hell are we doing here?
