Back<\/span><\/p>\n transcript<\/p>\n \u201cYou told the media that I was a freaking snake and that you completely understood why I had been assaulted. I just wonder if someone who applauds violence against their political opponents is the right person to lead an agency that has struggled to accept limits to the proper use of force. You went on to brag that you\u2019d already told me to my face that you completely understood and approved of the assault. Well, that\u2019s a lie.\u201d \u201cI said I could understand because of the behavior you were having that I could understand why the neighbor did what he did. As far as my terms, the snake in the grass, sir, I work around this room to try to fix problems. Seems like you fight Republicans more than you work with us.\u201d \u201cI wanted to ask you if we can commit \u2014 if you can commit to revoking this $100,000 policy by Secretary Noem.\u201d \u201cAbsolutely. That\u2019s called micromanaging. And I don\u2019t know if secretary put that in or someone else did. I\u2019m not a micromanager. I think it needs to be restructured, not eliminated. Some of these agencies under the current administration \u2014 not some, all of them \u2014 got very bloated.\u201d \u201cDo you think there\u2019s still too many staff at FEMA?\u201d \u201cSenator, I can\u2019t answer that. When I get there, we\u2019ll be adequately staffed to respond to our nation\u2019s disasters.\u201d<\/p>\n President Trump\u2019s Homeland Security nominee, Senator Markwayne Mullin, Republican of Oklahoma, struck a softer tone at his confirmation hearing on Wednesday, reflecting the administration\u2019s efforts to project a more moderate tone toward immigration enforcement.<\/span><\/p>\n By Cynthia Silva and Jackeline Luna<\/p>\n March 18, 2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" new video loaded: Trump\u2019s D.H.S.
