This guy can't even answer a simple question. How many? "Is it a secret?" God bless this woman! May she live long and prosper and always keep her sense of humor and whip smart ability to pin down these liars.
Because it's not a simple answer, it's a multi-agency advisory group which a small core of dedicated staff that draws upon much larger resources from both within Treasury and other agencies. The question is misleading because she only wants the dedicated staff which does not provide the complete picture.
@@mikeclement4029 It actually IS a really simple answer. He just refused to provide it without cushioning this devastatingly small number in a bunch of context that he hoped would soften the blow. At the end he gives an answer, and it is a very simple one. "About 10 people". If he was unafraid of the answer, he would just give it. But because he is afraid of what her follow up questions and points will be, he refused to give it. Pathetic.
@@DerAua Thanks for your reply...I appeciate your passion...now ask yourself, did this change anything? No, just another Dem/Lib/Socialist grandstanding for the malcontent mobocracy, lol.
I’m very glad that Ms. Porter is in Congress. She embodies everything that our representatives should be. Her constituents should be very proud that she is a no nonsense, brilliant and determined patriot. I applaud her!
I wish there were more legislators that knew as much as she appears to know and would press like she did to make her point. I think her point is "You don't really run the Treasury Department, do you?"
Financial research is valuable, but he didn't say what the other options were, so the use of the money may actually be going to something better. I don't think we can really say without knowing the other options.

Good lord...He talks like an idiot...I believe his tactics is to run out the clock on your time...I pray we get people deserving of and capable of doing their jobs next time around..Thank you Ms. Porter ....
His tactic is to dismantle any kind of regulation that could hurt his buddies working at investment banks like Goldman Sachs and others. That's his sole purpose here. To make large financial corporations richer and giving them access to the government, making laws and rules in their favour while removing or sabotaging any kind of oversight.
Rising Star within the Party You might be First-term Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif. ) but ''You'll Brilliant '' Thank you Rep, Katie Porter, keeping it real and Always holding them accountable
not a single one of these 45 appointees will answer a question directly, this means that they're 1. hiding something, 2. involved in something nefarious, 3. on someone else's payroll, 4. owned by a foreign agent or any combination of the above if not all. I hope when 45's term is over and all these appointees are "released" from their jobs, that the federal government brings them each to trial then sends them to the proper holes in gitmo. No revolving door with corporations, never eligible for another job in the government (unless it's stamping license plates in a prison), stripped of everything they obtained by selling out our nation, and left to rot. And Katie Porter is the exactly right person to see that justice is done.
i agree mostly, but gitmo just needs to be shut down forever, it is an ugly, horrible shame every day that place continues to operate. katie is serving up some justice now just exposing these pricks. let's never forget how what flaws in the system allowed such a rotten gang to take power, and work to prevent it happening again.
"How many people work directly, and only for FSOC" "Fascinating story. Let me tell you about the way my granpappy used to set up his card table when he'd roll out luncheons for fellow haberdashers, my granpappy was a haberdasher don'tcha know...."
Thirst Fast Reminds me of Abe Simpsons yarns. “I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em.”
@@macweenie absolutely spot on...I got the exact same vibe here. They should change the law and allow a representative that doesn't get a straight answer to a direct question to get near you and punch you in the face...without consequences...this would put them in their place.
Mary Brough You should look at Mnuchin’s entry in Wikipedia. Goodness, he’s taken over businesses and crashed them, he’s taken over banks and crashed them :- en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Mnuchin The list of films that he has had his sticky little fingers in can be seen here :- www.imdb.com/name/nm6518391/
Stacy Melanson I live in Germany and I love her too. I wish we‘d had more politicians like her in Germany. I suppose we have only a few like her, e.g. Gregor Gysi and Sahra Wagenknecht- Unfortunately they belong to a party for which I could not give my vote, but if I were US citizen I would definetly vote for the DEMS (due to politicians like Warren, Porter or Sanders)
As someone who has given up on both parties of this Two Party system, Rep. Katie Porter gives me hope that there ARE people out there who do work for, We The People
Rob Dean I had to delete my last comment (memo to self: never comment while drinking). Time to try again! I’d love to see a few highly intelligent people with a sharp wit, to fill our Senate & the House of Representatives.
Part of Munchie's job is to bull shit the system and NEVAH give a straight HONEST answer. It's part of the reason donnie LOVES his smelly elitist balls so much.
Go Rep Porter!!! He is such a condescending ass, like he is doing you a favor by addressing any topic he spoke of earlier. His lack of direct answer screams "I want to hide this from you and everyone else!" Thank you!! Its a blast watching you work!!!
Well you see, you only need financial stability immediately following a financial calamity. This whole ‘let’s-be-proactive-and-analyze-risk’ business is silly. Who needs that? But yeah we should have the GAO perform some CEP on em to fix discrepancies and have more transparency but not to gut it. Keep pushing Congresswoman Porter.
Lisa Chaput I’ll take a guess that, like those that serve in the House or Senate for only a single term, Sec. Mnuchin will have a generous pension and lifelong healthcare insurance coverage.
We've learned two important things. First, somehow our financial stability has become less important as of late. And second, Mnuchin is productive approximately 1/120 or 0.8333333% of the time and the rest is just hot air. It has to be exhaustive working that hard to avoid getting to the point.
"If I keep talking and dodging the question, I won't have to answer." Little does he know that what isn't being said is more telling than what is being said.
Incompetent people running our country. This is why education is important without it people can get scammed into believing anything. Education matters.
This is how our representative (criminals) talk. The shit is so deep. Their day of reckoning is coming. Voting isn’t enough. We need to take our country back.
Mnuchin is not a representative. He is Secretary of the Treasury. Rep Porter actually does her job and asks the important questions he obviously doesn't know the answer to. Your statement doesn't make any sense.
Richard only used a wrong word and you know it. It's obvious that he means "government", not "representative". The word "criminals" is more than a hint.
Did she seem a little tired? As one of the few beacons of hope in this day and age, I pray that she is not wearing down under the relentless siege against transparency and accountability in this government.
No, it's far worse than not knowing. He knows exactly what the answer is, but he's trying not to answer because he knows it shows that he has deliberately cut the number of staff in an important department that shouldn't have been cut back!
They are gutting services that protect you... i recently saw and ad on a subway car in nyc for hiring at THE FDA. You want your food and drug safety monitored by someone from the subway? Really? WTF!
Man she is so good 😊 you have to really ready for this woman she wants a yes or no she has them Stuttering love this woman we need more off this good people
Mnuchin must’ve been EXCELLENT at writing papers that needed a specific word count. Just word salad after word salad, after superfluous, pedantic rhetoric, debating the semantics of nothingness.
