9:07Now Playing$50 Million for a Jet?” Gallego EXPOSES Noem in Fiery Hearing
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRep. Ruben Gallego confronts Secretary Kristi Noem over a stunning budget request: $50 million for a new Gulfstream jet at the same time DHS is overspending and Republicans are preparing cuts that could push millions off Medicaid. Gallego pushes Noem on why her department claims it can’t afford essential services but can somehow afford a luxury aircraft. Noem insists the jet is for the Coast Guard, but she can’t answer whether she herself will use it — and Gallego highlights how this request clashes with real-world needs, from protecting border communities to stopping cartel recruitment of teenagers. This exchange lays bare the priorities behind the budget: prestige equipment at the top, while working families and critical investigations get squeezed. Gallego demands answers, and Noem struggles to provide them.
