I can’t stomach listening to Nadler -he is one of the worst to be on any committee .
AGREED!! He needs to term OUT!!!
ikr!
Yep. And that hater from Georgia, and that poof from Rhode Island. Those three on a committee together is going nowhere.
@@KMKoolGang my man Hank Johnson out here saying that an island can capsize because there’s too many naval ships
This is a great hearing we need to get back to how our founders intended checks and balances
No more Lies!
Restore the constitutional republic.
51:50 Then the problem is clear Senator, the government is too big and should not be in the business in regulating these things. If you can't find time to properly assess the programs, then we're not paying for them. These are issues for the states, not our federal government.
One thing I pondered is, why aren't these legislative makers of these bureaus not voted for along with our senators, or what if when these sorts of accidents occur, how come we the people can't vote for who stays and goes with term limits?
Bravo, Mr. Massie.
No, the REINS act would require members of Congress to get off their lazy backsides and do their job.
Every federal agency should have to present a new rule change to Congress before implementation 😒
If there is ambiguity in the law, they should consult Congress when it is found and seek clarification. Bottem line, they are not the lawmakers, they shouldn't be filling in the gaps in any capacity.
Congress is too busy fundraising.
Seriously? You'd have MTG OR BOEBERT writing these laws that protect everything and everyone rather than people WHOSE JOB IS TO STUDY the environment and are the leading experts in the environment and effects of the regulations and laws that are supposed to protect it?
@@amiehulscher7156 uh yeah? Law makers are supposed to make the laws, not unelected government officials. You would really rather be ruled by people you cant vote out? Smh
@@amiehulscher7156 are you that dense? The ability to write laws was explicitly, in no uncertain terms, given to congress with the president being able to write a law and also present it to congress. Agencies are there as part of the executive branch for advisement, not law making. You cannot vote out someone like that. We also don’t want rule from the professional class: scientists, engineers, doctors, etc that are in those same agencies. Do not think they know better for you than you do, but obviously you’d like a government you have zero control over
@@Lancer_0010 i guess I'd rather have an EXPERT WHOSE JOB IT IS TO KNOW ABOUT THE CLIMATE CHANGE AND OUR NATURAL ENVIRONMENT, giving the lawmakers advice and instructions to them on how the laws should be written to ultimately protect and not DESTROY, our planet and the creatures living on it! I DO NOT BELIEVE EmptyG and Boebert are experts at their own jobs, let alone experts on climate change or constructing laws that will promote a sustainable environment for all living creatures that inhabit it! I guess if that makes me dense or stupid or whatever, then so be it! There is no current republican advocate for the environment or sustainable living. They all simply deny our climate is even rapidly changing due to human pollutants and our insatiable need to strip the earth of all its natural resources, They call, what is obvious global warming, a natural changing of the seasons. They don't believe deforestation and massive drilling for oil and the stripping of our lands of their natural resources, is having a negative effect on EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE! THE GOP CONSTANTLY DOWNPLAYS THE BIG CORPORATIONS GREED AND CAPITALISM TO ENRICH THEMSELVES. THEY try to pass LAWS THAT ROLL BACK the REGULATIONS and safety guards THAT HELPED PROTECT ALL OF US, JUST TO MAKE MORE MONEY! The point I was trying to make originally was, that I believe all law makers SHOULD BE WRITING OUR LAWS WITH EVERYONE'S BEST INTERESTS IN MIND AND THEY SHOULD BE INFORMED BY REAL ENVIRONMENTAL EXPERTS, WHEN THEY WRITE THEM! ITS COMMON SENSE!
Seperation of Powers!
The REINS Act might hinder the agencies from fromulgating good rules. It also hinder their ability to promulgate stupid rules like the pistol brace rule.
When there is some abuse of power and of public trust, some inconveniences will have to be tolerated to correct things.
Institutions seek to maximize their decision power. So it is odd the subcommittee Congressional Democrats oppose reigning in the administration. Odd unless…
All of government has taken far more liberties with the constitution than they should ever be allowed to. The constitution is "everything" and all that government does should be structured around what the constitution allows. This B.S. concept that government has to adhere to the constitution but private businesses do not is sad, criminal and ridiculous. The constitution is the highest law of the land and everything and everyone else is secondary to what the constitution states and applies to everyone without exception.
After listening to the opening statements, how are the Democrats against stripping legislative power from the executive branch?
...then they'd actually have to do their jobs?
A city and states revenue relative to violations of law and traffic should fund social security and retirement. Revenue used fund city and state functions should only come from appropriations designated by government accountable processes stemming directly and only from taxpayers. This would eliminate incentives to find more crime or violations. Government officials and organizations should have a base pay thats accountable and standard, not to grow beyond without appropriate processes that would necessarily be deliberated. I understand this seems a bit off topic but understand that such issues can and do affect and incentivise the administrative state to go beyond their bounds for personal and political gain by making laws that allow them or their associates to sneak around accountability to the people. In many cases this fraud not only gains them riches but also leaves the american people in vulnerable positions for foreign agents to take advantage of and harm American interests and its citizenry.
If this happened in his neighborhood, he'd be speaking a different tune.
Seems all of gov has ignored the purpose of its existence.
Taking down the guidances is really telling and unfortunate for businesses
The lady testifying should be fired and never allowed to to in government again !!!
She is who help create the problems we have now !!!
She condescendingly claims that we the people need to be taken care of, according to "the science." Well, we saw how well that worked with covid. The deep state politicizes science and censors it to the point that it is no longer real science. The problem with a technocracy is that scientists and tech people tend toward less moral self-awareness than people whose lives are more focused on social interactions.
7:48 we shall see if you are right. The catastrophe in Palestine Ohio was pre warned by the people who work on the Railroad and were told to go back to work! “Dirty deeds done dirt cheap “!
Very soon I’m sure that the trucker’s will go off the job! Not striking, but gone 🐟 🐠 🐠 🎣 we have been ignored long enough!!! We are losing our shirts 👔 and shorts 🩳 and does anyone really really really think 🤔 about the driver???
Whom Can We Trust If No One Is Trustworthy?
One of my favorite quips from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is when Tom is defined as “a glittering hero…the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” and there were “some that believed that he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.” With these few words, Twain captured the essence of leadership in our world. Those who get to the top are the fiercest, most determined, and most ruthless. Today, the latter quality has become so intense that we can no longer believe our leaders, and certainly not trust them to have our best interest in mind.
I am not accusing any leader in particular, or even leaders as a whole. It is simply that in an egoistic world, where people vie to topple one another on their way to the top, the one at the top is clearly the one who trampled over and knocked down more people than anyone else. Concisely, to get to the top in an egoistic world you have to be the biggest egoist.
So how do we know whom to trust? We don’t know and we cannot know. All we know is that we are in the dark.
In a culture of unhinged selfishness, any conspiracy theory seems reasonable, while truth is nowhere to be found. When every person who says or writes something is trying to promote some hidden agenda, you have no way of knowing who is right, what really happened, or if anything happened at all.
The only way to get some clarity in the news and goodwill from our leaders is to say “Enough!” to our current system and build something entirely independent. The guiding principle of such a system should be “information only,” no commentary. Commentary means that information has already been skewed. Information means saying only what happened, as much as possible, not why, and not who is to blame and who we should praise.
Concurrently, we must begin a comprehensive process of self-teaching. We have to know not only what is happening, but why we skew and distort everything. In other words, we have to know about human nature and how it inherently presents matters according to its own subjective view, which caters to one’s own interest. To “clear” ourselves from that deformity, we must learn how to rise above our personal interest and develop an equally favorable attitude toward others. This is our only guarantee that our interpretation of things will be even and correct.
Once we achieve such an attitude, we will discover that the bad things we see in our world reflect our own, internal wickedness. Our ill-will toward others creates a world where ill-will governs, and so the world is filled with wickedness and cruelty. Therefore, all we need in order to create positive leadership-and to generally eliminate ill-will from the world-is to generate goodwill within us. When we nurture goodwill toward others, we will fill the world with goodwill. As a result, the world will fill with kindness and compassion. By changing ourselves, we will create a world that is opposite from the world we have created through our desires to govern, patronize, and often destroy other people.
Very well said. 👏
Thomas Massie is an American Hero.
Yes he is, he stood alone and tried to tell President Trump NOT to lock down, the only one! That makes him smarter and more trustworthy than anyone in Government.
In the hearing, do the democrats appear to take upon a disheveled appearance?
The weight of the world on a righteous man! How I pray we put this gentleman in the Highest esteem, I would vote for him for President, he is a gift from God, America is blessed to have him, I wish everyone in Congress had his character.
Subcommittee Democrats argued that executive branch agencies should essentially be able to make laws because they are experts in their respective fields. An example discussed during the hearing was whether ATF should be able to create a new regulation that flip-flops on the their former position allowing pistol braces and makes it a felony to own such a device. Republicans argue that bureaucrats should be allowed to recommend policy on such issues but that federal law-making is strictly within the constitutional realm of Congress.
The train derailment in East Palestine was brought up several times, however I don't get the impression anyone who did so paid attention to the committee that covered that accident.
NS was following the regulations. They were monitoring the bearing temps every ten miles, as they were required to do.
This gives them an excuse, a "safety net" of a sort. They can just shrug and say "we did what we were told!" Thereby shifting blame to the regulatory agency.
If, on the other hand, the only regulation was that they were required to operate in a safe manner, and that they would be fully financially liable for any accidents, then the burden would shift to them. They wouldn't have the "but we followed the regulations!" crutch anymore.
Pat!
lol
I’ve always wondered what happened to her! 😂😂😂😂
I remember the 1st time I tried to cut my own hair...
Ya gotta love Hank Johnson, don'cha? He just keeps on..."I think I can, I think I can, I think I can."
So has anyone here seen the video of rail workers cutting the track a day or two before derailment in Ohio? Interesting how “accidents “ happen 😉
Just so Mr. Johnson knows, the House cid elect a Speaker.
Hank "Guam is gonna capsize" Johnson. He's one of those people who makes me wonder how difficult it must be to go through life in the company of people who are almost entirely more than 30-40 IQ points smarter. I'm not sure I'd call him fully "developmentally delayed" (or whatever euphemism is current for the "r" word), but he makes AOC look intelligent.
45:55 "all agencies required to have a period of notice and comments", I have yet to see any such thing. Do I live too far in the sticks. Great post.
Some reps are strictly on committees to promote their political party and not to get anything meaningful done.
There you go
Please!!!!?! Do something☮️❤️🇺🇸
Only if regulators regulate. If they don't what is the sense of having regulators.
I always listen to these hearings while doing work, And I always think it's a woman speaking when Cicilline speaks...lol
We the People are sick and tired of unelected officials in the administrative state making rules telling us how to live our lives.
I, Phillip Hsieh, Declare, Swear and Agree with Thomas Massie and the U.S. Government, that I am telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me God. I swear and affirm the testimony is correct to the best of my knowledge under penalty and perjury so help me God. I, Phillip Hsieh affirm these statements are accurate and true.
Did my screen show u rewinding this in order for me to watch it?
I think it's sick how they now care about the train issue but which one of them have gone to see the damage nothing smaller Government is needed
Reinact The Smith Mundt Act.
According to this heree video. I'd. Don't know nothing whatsoever about this. It's. Political. Period thanks for sharing!!!!!¡
I can't stomach listening to Nadler and the queer. . End.
Need more understanding of jurisdiction which has been violated since the beginning
Nader was a little dictator when he was chairman
33:57 🙏🏻
Please BIG GOVERNMENT
come and save us.
Did that regulatory agency person go to East Palestine?
society does not need government oversight to function. the fact that a government agent thought that arguement was okay much less accurate says that they are long overdue for a reminder that they are servants, not lords.
to be absolutely precise, government oversight to maintain society is tyranny in one of its many forms. further the motivation for such is irrelevant beyond a particular sentiment.
"benevolent" tyrants are the worst kind, as a selfish or greedy tyrant will grow tired in their excess and sleep from time to time. a benevolent tyrant though will with absolute zeal drive themselves to the absolute limit to destroy your life... for your own good of course.
I'm suggesting the Regulations process is corrupt 👍
Isn’t it funny how so many derailments just started happening
Ms scanlon starts off by saying she is uneducated on the topic then gives a strong opinion on it
Trying to stroke the public with a purring voice Mr.- Ms.
I dont have the number
34:02 oh so pete buttgreg is our fault?
Does Nadler ever open his mouth and not spout nonsense. At what point have we ever reduced regulation? We always get more, never less
Nadler says the same crap every year.
Hey hey ho ho the ATF has got to go
Massie always seems to be sweating.
You would be too, if you were sitting in close proximity to the Ciccilne and Nadler.
That marvelous brain probably generates a lot of heat!
Over 1,000 derailments per year I'd say that there experts SUCK!!!
Nothing constructive ever comes out of Nadlers mouth..He does nothing but quote the radical lefts nauseating talking points...Other than that good hearing..
FOUR EYE OLD DUDE 😡 QUIT CONGRESS
Does anyone else think Cicciline sounds like he might have been born the wrong gender?
Regulation is bad. Just ask the folks of Ohio.
I get tired of democrats lies
If your IQ you eould understand better
It was higher she could understand better
Massie does some great things. Shilling for DeSantis belies everything he’s done well
And who are you shilling for the pharmaceutical companies? At warp speed right 👍
Leave that professor alone but she doesn't tell us what really happened at the train wreck.
Ahh I see, now we know why the rail industry has been allowed to become decrepit.
Democrats need to be held accountable! There is no justice without a few of these tyrants going to prison.
Well that she has been educated beyond her intelligence. Please send home.
yea at this point drowning the usa government and starting over wit the constitution sounds like a great idea thanks democrates for the idea
Your experts are your weapons they are like the new color egg basket. They are just eggs but they've been colored. 😁
I find it so satisfying that President Donald J Trump after all these years still lives rent-free in the hollow cavities these 🐓🍭🍭🍭 are supposed to have a brain in, splendid 🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤
So much talk about all the problems nothing done about it. Government over 2 million people working for the government and nothing to show doing lesson less each year having more and more power. This is getting to be a pretty pathetic circus. Sure hate the sea a terrible insurrection happened to these green leaders in this country sure I hate to see that. 1 day we'll be on TV.
