The law enforcement is a part of the ecosystem the entire time.

This is so typical of what the Democrats do now after your policies have transparently failed and led to the deaths of millions of Americans.

Now you say you've never heard of defunding the police.

Your own report recommends it on page after page after page.

Let me ask about something else you say.

Here's what you say we ought to invest in.

Instead of funding the police, here's what we ought to invest in. We need to invest in programs

that acknowledge the need for safe space initiatives led by lesbian, gay, bisexual, two-spirit,

trans and gender non-conforming people. What's two-spirit? Well, look, I don't know exactly.

You guys are pulling some interesting quote. This is from your report. If you look at the report,

the focus is on investing in violence intervention, outreach workers, victim services. You say that

you shouldn't invest in the police, but we ought to invest in two-spirit community programs that acknowledge two-spirit.

Look, we are not going to discriminate against any nonprofit that wants to help us prevent violence in our community.

You say, don't fund the police, but do fund programs that create safe spaces for two-spirit people.

What is? I just want to know. I don't know what that is. I have no idea what that is. Well, honestly, I'm not completely aware of the language or the spirit of how that was written. But what I'm telling you is that what we advocate for... What is a two-spirit individual? I mean, really, I'm saying this is your policymaker's playbook. You are the witness called by the Democrats on this committee, so I assume you reflect their views. You don't want to fund the police. You want to fund safe spaces for two-spirit individuals. What is a two-spirit person? I feel like I'm looking at a two-faced individual because you talk about reducing violence. Oh, no, sir. You're looking at somebody who's reading your own words, and I'd like to hear an answer. Here's the answer. The answer is you don't have any solutions. You want to invest in gobbledygook and take away money from police officers who actually keep our communities safe. The answer is you can't handle the truth. That's what he wanted to come in there and scream. Ladies and gentlemen, if you know what the hell a two-spirit person is, let me know.

Because I'm going to be honest, I have no clue.

I have a feeling it has something to do with, you know, I don't know, feeling like they have two spirits. Like everybody is in charge of their own future. I have no idea. But that doesn't matter. That's just the crazy stuff that's going on. And just so you're aware that these meetings, these types of meetings actually got held,

and our government is still in danger of being shut down tonight.

So, yeah. just so you're aware that these meetings, these types of meetings actually got held, and our

government is still in danger of being shut down tonight. So, I mean, we got a couple hours here,

where are we at now? What time is it? Yeah, I mean, we got like what, like four, five, six hours

or so to go before the whole government shuts down and a bunch of people end up getting fired
