Representative Jasmine Crockett addresses the concerning levels of lawlessness, corruption, and unethical behavior in the country. She expresses skepticism about the possibility of successfully impeaching and convicting certain individuals, given past failures. Instead, she advocates for educating the American people about constitutional violations and conducting thorough investigations.
Crockett calls for investigations into various questionable activities, including a "crypto dinner" with masked attendees, pardons granted after significant donations, and the accumulation of wealth by public officials and their families while in office. She contrasts this with the restrictions placed on members of Congress regarding outside income, such as book deals. She points out potential issues with foreign governments.
Crockett emphasizes the importance of shining a light on these issues and allowing the American people to see for themselves what is happening. She highlights the role of the oversight committee in conducting field hearings, even in the minority, to gather testimonies from individuals affected by governmental actions, such as former federal employees or those receiving government aid.
Crockett stresses the need to not only conduct investigations but also to effectively communicate the findings to the public. She uses President Joe Biden as an example, acknowledging his accomplishments but noting that their impact was limited by a lack of public awareness. To prevent a similar situation, she is running to be the ranking member.

0:00 But when we think about where we are in this country, when we think about the level of lawlessness, um, corruption, um, unethical behavior that is taking place, I don't know that I can say that I believe that we would ever get to the point that we could actually impeach and convict him so that he's out of office because clearly he's been through two impeachments and he should have been convicted and he didn't and in fact he ended up being reelected. I don't know that that's necessarily the way that we need to go, but I do believe that we should educate the American people about the violations that are taking place as it relates to monuments cause um as part of the constitution and the other constitutional violations that he's engaging in. As well as I think that we need to do the investigations
0:46 and discover what is going on. What was this crypto dinner about where people are wearing masks and don't even want to be seen going in there? What's going on with the various pardons that are being given out after certain donors drop a lot of money into his pocket? What's going on with the fact that I think they said 40% of his wealth right now has actually um accumulated since he's been in office? I mean, I'm not allowed to make any money um at all. I mean a book deal is quite complicated for me as a low member of435 of one of 435 in the house yet he is accumulating wealth and his family members and he's putting them on trips and they're going out beforehand and the next thing you know like there's all
1:33 kinds of stuff going on with the Saudi government there's all kinds of stuff that's going on with the um cutaries like what is happening at a very minimum we should we should be shining a on what is taking place and let the American people for themselves see. And that is what the oversight committee can do. Now, we are obviously in the minority at this moment, but it doesn't stop me from being able to do field hearings um in the form of like shadow field hearings where we're going across the country and we're letting people's neighbors be the ones to testify about their experiences. Whether they are former employees for the federal government, whether they are someone who is supposed to be receiving government aid of some sort, we need to make sure that people understand what's happening.
2:18 And I think that there is no one better who can not only do the work, do the investigations, but can also make sure that the word gets out and is communicated. Because regardless of how people may feel, I will always say that Joe Biden was one of the best presidents that we've ever had. But ultimately, it didn't matter if people didn't know what all he was doing. And so, I don't want us to get caught in that same way. And it's why I'm throwing my name into the hat to run to be the ranker.
