I've never seen a single Democrat with the capacity to answer a single question. What is wrong with these people
That sounds normal for those people.
There's nothing normal with these so-called people
NPCs.
They have no accountability !!!
@@noobandfriends2420 NPCs have a more variety vocabulary than these people.
That woman has no business being in charge of anything ,even a yard cutting service ,sheesh
She is scared, you can tell it in her voice.
@@corneliusdeskins9875 Voice shaking and the uhm increase as the video goes on lmao, good on them, grill these fucks well done until reps take over.
The thing is, every time this person appears before Congress, it is just like this. She appears unable to answer the most basic questions about her job. Or mouths stupid platitudes. Is this real?
She will get back to you on that.
😂😂😂
How embarrassing for America.
It’s not just that she’s driving up the cost of energy.
It’s her inability to be coherent under pretty soft questioning.
What a incompetent bureaucrat 😡
Listening to a Democrat speak is like talking to my 3-year-old
My grandson is looking for a play-date.
@@benhunter8551 🤣🤣🤣
While they're lying their ass off.
You know they're lying, they know they're lying, but they just keep going with the lies.
@@tedzink4574 exactly, and nobody is doing a damn thing . All talk. Last year they said to impeach Biden , now that they can , I haven't heard it spoken about . It's all for show
I'd bet your 3 yr old is a lot smarter than this hack...
Nobody in this administration can answer any question asked of them 😢😢😢
It was suppose to be the most TRANSPARENT in history lol
Purposefully. No answers, delay etc. GOP isn't going to do anything about it.
Can, or won't?
the opposition can't be trusted with answers.
Harriet needs to hold that seat for a long time
They always come to a hearing and never have answers. Unbelievable. Any normal person in a job interview would never get the job
Appears to be a job requirement for this administration
They have the answers. The answers don't portray them or the administration in a good light. They really can't justify how badly they're screwing the American citizen and they don't want to have the truth televised so that Americans can see just how unimportant we are to the Biden Administration. From DHS, DOE, DOJ, DOT, and on and on, they are succeeding in destroying this country...with intended or unintended consequences. It really doesn't matter to our citizens OR our enemies.
No need to be qualified---Dems have "equity".
Five minutes with this person and the job interview would be abruptly ended. "Thank you for coming in".
notice how they insanely say the same shit over and over again....now that's insanity...
Answering questions would require honesty. That is not a quality you will find in a Biden Nominee.
I agree, but Deb Haaland is just straight-up the dumbest cabinet secretary in history. 100% white guilt pick.
Unfortunately she is the actual Secretary of the I terror, not a nominee 😪
Exactly
Opp
You took the words right out of my mouth!👍
Wyoming you did a great job electing this woman, and dumping lizard Cheney
Embarrassingly, she's from New Mexico.
@@tomchapman3315 Haaland is from New Mexico isn’t she? I believe BuddyNika was referring to the congresswoman.
Agree she's great!
I have yet to see any kind of "clean energy bill" that makes energy more efficient and affordable.
Neither has China, that's why they are not going there while we cripple ourselves to save resources for China's future use.
They want to make energy unaffordable so they can make working class citizens dependent on government handouts and thus slaves to the government.
Right now California is in the process of making energy bills dependent on income. Right after Biden took office he gave a speech where he stated that he intends to make California the model for all of the USA.
harriet hageman is fantastic
The incompetence of every Administration member is an insult to every taxpayer. This lady isn't qualified to be a checker at Walmart, but she appears to be Native American, so diversity box checked.
Don't disparage Walmart workers. At least they're doing something positive.
I work at Wamart, thanks.
many cases it is not incompetence it is intentional obfuscation
She's Navajo that's why she got the job.
Harriet is a TREASURE!
Yes, Wyoming did it right this time!
But she didn't demand an answer, now, today, if not yesterday!!!
They always say they are doing things to help the situation but can never tell you what it is they are doing.
It’s called sanctimonious virtue signaling. Many ppl in our social media dominated world partake in this activity to show off to their audience how superficially virtuous they are for many likes and clicks
That is what has been drilled into their heads. They do nothing else outside of congressional hearings.
I've been binge-watching these for some reason, its becoming a sort of self-torture. Stupid people are in positions of power and the never answer any questions.
the right is ever confused.
Way to go Harriet! You make Wyoming proud!
This congresswoman is awesome
She's the one who kicked Liz Cheney out of Wyoming.
She is sooooo good
Wyoming tough 💪
Not if they're a conservative.
Haaland is perhaps the most incompetent babbling bureaucrat I've witnessed in all my hours of watching congressional debates!
No. Biden, Harris and Mayorkas are worse. But same breed though.
Mayorkas is up there pretty high.
@@Yooper2024 Mayorkas is a blatant liar and a component blame shader. Haaland is wholly incompetent.
They should give the witnesses the questions 1 week in advance. If they then don't answer them, fire them on the spot. That's what happens in the private sector.
They do get the themes what will be asked pretty sure and they do get time to prepare. Its just that they prepare to not answer anything.
This administration and democrats have to go
Very good, she can read what the lawyers are placing in front of her!!!bravo👏🐒
We pay someone $160K a year give answers to a $200K department head..
Unreal
MAGA IGNORANCE...
KJP be the lesbian, immigrant colored (as she proudly proclaimed) example.
@@edwardaguilar3212 shouldn't you be in the streets leading black lives matter chants?

MAGA PRESIDENT TRUMP 4 EVER, lyl all lives matter I'm Righteous Christian too
What a brilliant line of questioning from Rep Hageman. On the other hand, what a pathetic response from Interior Sec Haaland.
I am wondering what kind of questions Deb Haaland was expecting. Was there anything at all she prepared to report on? My impression, she made no preparation at all towards a presentation of her department's accomplishments. Assuming anything was accomplished. Her department has a budget. What were the tasks in the budget? She mentioned clean energy. Does that mean her department turns land over to be bulldozed for solar farms? What exactly? She is responsible for land management. I am guessing that means turning vast acres in windmills.
Don't let these people off so easily. When they don't have an answer give them a phone and make them call someone to get the answer.
great idea ....now that would be epic....
firing them would be too
These are so stupid, no one ever answers any question. Such a waste of tax payers money!
It is good to see these people represent their job position and see what they know or don’t know. Also, shows the incompetence or just plain lying to cover up. I would be fired for incompetence for answering the way this administration answers things. Can’t they be fired if they are not doing their jobs?
@@RannieMi-qp2ipYes they can be fired by the president, but do you think that the mental midget we have for a president is going to fire someone he appointed?
Translation: I don't know anything about what is happening in the department I run, but I promise I will eventually find out what all those people I allegedly manage are doing all day long. And I promise that someday we will send you an evasive report that we will claim answered what you asked about, but I can't give you a firm date for that report.
I bet she knows how much money that she makes !
Deb could not organize her own yard sale. 🤦🏽♂️ Yet, she is spearheading the destruction of fossil fuels, while we have no alternatives!!! Help us.
she was losing it right in front of us....shuffling and always looking for help from the dudes behind her....she was wigging
They should be in prison for a day, as many days as questions they cannot answer. 😥 🇺🇸
Q: "Are you aware that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west?"
A: "I'll have to get back to you on that, but I do know that Resident Biden loves ice cream"
😂😂👍👍🍦🍦🇬🇧🇬🇧
chuckle
What's particularly fascinating and strangely creepy is that all these agency talking heads answer every single question in the same weird stepford wives way...
The energy transition: we're transitioning from affordable energy to unaffordable energy, because the sky is falling...
Reminds me of me when a teacher asked me a question that I didn’t know the answer or I didn’t want to answer.
Seems Yes/No answers are not allowed in the democrat's Alinsky playbook. RINOs seem to have the same affliction.
I watch these Forbes videos, and think that if I ever went in front of my bosses without ANY answers to ANY of the questions my bosses asked me, I'd be fired within the week.
The whole Biden administration is incompetent!!
Love how this woman can’t answer a question without an aide passing talking points to her
I sit and watch these various hearing posts the this channel does, (thank y'all for doing that), and the more i hear these people "testify", the more I come to realize that we currently have the single most inept, under-qualified and completely laughable administration of my over a half century on this planet. I know it's a 2-way street, meaning that when it's a Republican administration, those appointees will also filibuster and stonewall in hearings to a certain degree but what we see happening in the last 2ish years is just embarrassing and shameful. These people aren't just stonewalling. They genuinely have absolutely no idea what they're doing and are noticeably in way over their heads and many are just outright lying under oath in many cases. The most egregious and disgraceful of the entire lot is Mayorkas. He needs to be impeached and charged with perjury.
Love ya Harriet🥰 she answered NOTHING, and she didn’t seem to happy about CIRCLING. BACK with ANSWERS. The MOST UNAWARE CABINET in HIM/HERstory 🙄
They should be required to have a laptop and be prepared for the questions, so they can answer. Instead they sit and act and look stupid. 😮. Be prepared or be fined 😮
Thats no act!
These people in our departments dont seem to know whats going on?
Once again, this piece of work is EXACTLY what occurs when diversity is put above ability. NOT ONE answer was given in full. Lots of double talk was spewed but I would have loved to hear some true responses. And just like Mayorkas, Garland, KJP, Kirby, and the other clowns, their major job is defending the indefensible
They seriously need to implement and enforce rules, with clearly laid out penalties and punishments, that require the question asked to be answered.
That poor woman can't even complete a sentence and she's a secretary?
None of these people in the current administration seem to be able to answer a question that requires a yes or no answer. I know that they do that on purpose, but it does make them look ignorant and that they can snub congress and get away with it.
It seems everyone is catching onto “plausible deniability”; and it’s uncomfortable watching those held accountable within that strategy.
Good questions poor answers.
How tf do these ppl even have these jobs?! If we were this bad at our jobs, we'd be fired in a heart beat. Smh none of them can ever answer anything asked.
Why don't they just Fire these traitors? If nothing is done, why are they even needed.
Excellent....Excellent job Ms. Hageman!
she keeps waiting for someone to pass her what she should say and how to answer…lmao
From England, if Haaland is trying to suggest that wind power is a cheaper source, I can assure Americans it is absolutely not.
Americans know it is not and won't ever be cheaper than oil and gas. The mentality of the green pushers is simply that they make millions off pushing it. We customers are paying very high prices to do anything that requires oil products these days and we're sick of it.
That was the most bizarre exchange I have ever heard- the woman’s answers were like something you would get from Chatgpt.
I can't imagine how they seem to get the worst people to work for the admin. It's just mind blowing.
new mexico always sends their best
Bet everyone is super glad that there's no more mean tweets right?
But they have their priorities.
Oh thank heaven. I sleep so soundly these days. LMAO
How can you not answer questions… it’s your job? If someone asked me a question at work and I didn’t know I’d be asked why I didn’t know or fired for not knowing my job.
Can they also ban the word “Erm”
Throw these people in jail for not answering the questions being asked of them while under oath. That'll get them to start answering direct questions with direct answers pretty quick.
Where does he find these people Angie's List !
Deb's favorite word is "Umm"
Awesome job Harriet.
They know nothing! Congresswoman Hageman keep up the great work!
Is that the definition of incompetence?
No... a woke liberal democrat.
epitome not definition
I would like to see this agency layout in plain and simple facts how much cheaper energy will be after all of this green crap is inflicted on America.
They can't because it won't be more affordable and they know it!
@@bridgetcameron3691 and the sad part is, it'll be worse off economically as well as environmentally.
"Congresswoman, Biden blah blah blah" Stumble, stumble, circle after circle ... Absolutely astounding.
100% right. I comment on this often. Thanking for the questions, then don't answer the question. Then they say they need more help to be able to answer the questions.. Another waste of our taxpayer money
They’re ALL liars
Omg she is in way over her head !!! Lol
Were tired of hearing officials NEVER has a answer in many YEARS. What is wrong with this woman/secretary/ "I want to say is and said NOTHING." weird
Allllll of these people testifying should be charged! Such a waste of time to watch them stutter in circles saying absolutely NOTHING! 🤦🏼♀️
IMAGINE NOT ONLY ANSWERING QUESTIONS BUT ANSWERING USING A LIE DETECTION!!
You're work very hard making energy very unaffordable. Gas now in AZ $4.99 per/gallon, SRP utility gas double up.
WOW! She came prepared
Why don’t they just ask the guy that is handing her the non answers.
you could eliminate 90% of federal government jobs and no one would notice
Oh everyone would definitely notice because everything would be much better.
@@StepUPNJ lol
She won't answer any of the questions 🤪
This woman took "avoid the question" lessons from Mayorkas.
Not ONE person in this administration can give a straightforward, honest answer. NOT ONE.
Have all Democrats had strokes ?
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
The dumbest thing is that NM has a lot of the budget money coming from gas but they want to say gas is bad and not to mention killing the coal plant which will raise PNM bills higher lol
Ask these people questions they can answer, like, “Where was your vacation this year”, or “What are your favorite restaurants in Europe”. Ask things like that so they can answer honestly.
She absolutely knows because she wouldn't say she doesn't know. I had feeling this would be the result when I heard someone from new Mexico was going to the Interior Secretary.
WOW just WOW she didn't answer one question! She needs to GO!!!!
Wow!
This poor woman is obviously in WAAAAAAY over her head!
Secretary of the Interior is a Level I position in the Executive Schedule, thus earning a salary of US$221,400.
nauseating
Thank you.
What we are seeing is plausible deniability .
They don't read reports.
They don't ask for written reports
They don't listen to verbal reports.
They are above-it-all ...able to claim with plausible authority and complete confidence that they don't know..
and couldn't have known something -- because they make it their business not to know anything, except rambling talking point narratives about good intentions fed to them by public relations counsel.
So...the witnese had a hard time raising her daughter and she had to make choices ... but now she's got hers...and she's moved on to getting more, as an apologist for Joe Biden. Thanks Harriet.
And thanks to you, Harriet, we don't have to listen to that Cheney woman anymore, expert in the back-channel ways taught to her by her father when he was vice president and working his contacts for decades, from back through the Nixon Administration. George W Bush wasn't smart enough to get us into a war with Saddam Hussein after something like 14 hijackers linked to Saudi Arabia attacked New York and brought down the Twin Towers. It's not just the Democrats that are good at distracting us.
I never heard of "energy poverty" but I will use the term "energy-poor" or "fuel-poor". Some people remember the term "house-poor" which meant everything was invested in an expensive house whose owners were paying so much to keep it up that nothing else was affordable.
They're still places in the midAtlantic eastern part of America where people in the hills can dig enough coal out of a coal mine near the surface to feed their furnace all winter.
Clean energy polucies? When I lived in Denver the insides of my ears and the outside of my car were always dirty in spite of the blue sky and reputation for clean air. Turns out the source is either rendering plants somewhere around there -- or the huge plants that produce dog food cereal.
Reportedly, increases in CO2 have made the world 15% greener. Got to have emissions or everything will die
If Yellowstone needs more bears there's plenty of the other variety in the southernmost New England states.😂
Fire her yesterday
So true....
There should be a very public rating for worst 'Department Secretary.'
Hero Haaland stay strong - firm!🙏🇺🇸
These people know they're going in to answer questions why are they never prepared and why can't they answer a yes or no question simple when you can't tell the truth there's a problem when you're trying to hide things that's a bigger problem
Do you see a pattern of all these people currently in charge? They all have singular responsibilities but cannot address the questions put before them. "I don't know! I haven't heard. I'll have to get back to you on that." This is NOT acceptable! She knows nothing!
Hageman is a gem. These crayon box Brandon hires always wilt when the light of truth shines on them.
bruh, this could be confused for a parody. now seriously, how in the hell is that person in charge? what was that performance? I know this is real but my senses are overwhelmed with the sensation that it's a joke. I just acquired two new wrinkles from cringing so intensely.
Great comment...absolutely surreal
agreed, same!
They called themselves “experts” but they can’t answered one question
They should add "i swear to answer questions using yes, or no, before giving explanations" to the oath. ITS VERY A SIMPLE YES OR NO QUESTION. 99% OF THE TIME, THE NEXT QUESTION WILL BE "WHY". THAT IS WHEN YOULL GET TO EXPLAIN , OR LIE, OR WHATEVER WE PAY YOU TO DO. WE'RE THE ONES THAT PAY FOR EVERY DISASTER IN WASHINGTON, WE DEMAND TO KNOW WHY YOURE THEORY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN MY MORTGAGE.
washington is completely broken I have been out of work for going on two years signed up for disability that is to take six months for an answer and I still have no answer but I still have my medical issues and I call social security every couple weeks to update them on my condition and have more tests coming up and still nothing my local office said I qualify but the hold up is washington
Like I said, there are approximately 2 million federal government workers. About 85% of them are totally unnecessary but are still well paid. This DOI secretary falls within the 85%.
Sec. Haaland should have stayed with her old job, making hot sauce. Rep. Hageman is a rock star. An interesting question would have been, Sec. Haaland, "Why has there been an accelerated oil and gas leasing program in New Mexico, your home state, while leases in all of the other states are being slow walked" ?
I watched a minute and a half.. How can anybody be soooooo unprepared to testify in front of Congress??? She has her teenage TikTok staff shoving papers into her hands.. WOW!!
This is what happens when you hire based on factors other than qualifications.
No Answers No Competency No Use She has to Go.
Asking that woman question was a big waste of time . We pay these people and when it comes to answering questions all they do is stone wall. What a wast of money they are !
Jezuz 😱 ...like a broken record! Isn't the point of a hearing to have an open dialog between parties, and not 2 completely different conversations happening at the same time...?
When someone drags an answer for so long and they actually doesn't answer the question that you should know the answer to they are out and out lieing.
