[@mikefinley4367]

Since Clay Higgins channel doesn't allow for comments I want to thank him for serving , may he see this and continue the good work,

[@andrewczski1969]

same here

[@dam8087]

He's utterly vile

[@EvidentlyFire]

I wonder why he doesn't allow comments. He is the only republican I know of who could actually steal Trump's bases away. If you've heard some of his speeches, I mean, WOW, a real Americano orator, especially his monologue to Darren Carter of the gremlins. He should run for president.

[@EvidentlyFire]

​@@dam8087what's he done that you would say that? don't just accuse without substance, it seems sus. Like who are you even?

[@ronkathythompson]

We need more brave honest men like mr Higgins

[@Scorpio-tn4vy]

I like this Higgins dude!

[@lesgortat4213]

I love Higgins clever man

[@smde1]

I am an American citizen and I do not feel like I am being represented...This amounts to taxation without representation! May we all consider in our hearts what that means.

[@davef.2329]

Rep. Higgins being a notable exception.

[@julieknotts6536]

I'm sorry Congressman Higgins 😢 we see your frustrations with everything going on around you. We appreciate all your doing to help our country and we have mad respect for you. Thank you for your service to the American people ✊

When I saw "Clay Higgins grills..." , I thought of some spicy Cajun cookin'!

[@marylamb7707]

Lol Turns out it's spicy for a different reason.

[@tonyelliott7734]

This is the calmest I've ever seen Clay Higgins be.

[@Keell444]

Clay Higgins is beginning to become one of my favs!

[@carlbarrs929]

At least this Officer could and did answer questions, I suspect Mr. Higgins is leading the conversation to the discovery of other problems. I hope all these traitors get exposed allowing our borders to be open to all grimes.

[@DogGuy19]

Higgins 2024!!!

[@jodyrockhill7200]

I kind of disagree with the " headline ". Rep. Higgins didn't grill her her just asked questions which she answered quite well. He was a total gentleman with her.

[@clarencecarter960]

Most of these Forbes videos are like that! Pisses me off as why I rarely now watch one. Clay Higgins is one of my HEROES!!!!!

[@gman7644]

she seemed to have a pompous attitude too, not sure why

[@johnquillman785]

Not sure....maybe alittle shy----Higgins got his answer. She actually answered . How refreshing. @@gman7644

They who? Otherwise, they got/get their orders from Beijing!

[@matdevineslife]

Those numbers are outrageous. Thank u big Hig.

[@grahamking1036]

I like the way Higgins is refining his questioning to avoid stonewalling.

[@eddiechildress7856]

Sic 'em Clay.....

[@robertsteve101]

To be aunust I really like Higgins because he speaks the truth an he says what he says an doesn’t care who likes it or not so basically he’s got big balls

[@mikeduke7613]

MORE of Mr. Clay Higgins is needed.

[@spencerjohnson7185]

Lol he is a true and blue law enforcement 🤣 he questions like interrogators and he throws in things like “interesting” which throws them off guard . They are probably asking themselves “What is interesting!?! Did I give something away!? Did I screw up?” I like him he is entertaining

[@davidrn2473]

This woman should replace Mayorkas, she didn't fiddle with her answers the way every judge that Biden is attempting to get thru Congress. She didn't waste time with the typical answer we all hear daily "Thank you for the question Senator/Congressman" and then hem and haw to not answer. She had numbers and percentages for each question. Bravo for the professional law enforcement of the USA.

[@anthonyrichard461]

Mayorkas is a puppet and or is complicit with the destruction of this nation. This lady would not make it in his position unless she would lose all of her morals. She seems sincere and I think this hearing was for discovery.

[@psychbomb7543]

Why is this woman in a position of authority??🤦🏼‍♂️

Political correctness.

That’s always been their plan

[@mikebelnap3079]

I was told by a border agent that they’ve been receiving Overtime without working for it. Which would make sense

[@mick8888V]

anecdotes don't really amount to evidence or certainty. Donald Trump would often state that "many people were saying"...in actuality, the comment was only coming from his lips and not others he had heard of.

[@xusmico187]

you would remember taking directly to the big boss. NLP, deflection answers, all uncomfortable deception.

[@bozojojo1789]

Thank you for your service, helping to secure the countries border? "THANK YoU? I'd like a refund please

[@richardhunter4235]

Just how much are these border patrol people that are volunteering for the double shifts making per hour. These figures are never brought up.

[@jamesallen278]

Wow! A person actually answering questions. Cant be a Democrat.

[@RoninMinistries]

They just updated the policy! It used to be up until a couple of months ago was 8 hours OT not 4 that is very recent.

[@digthis3953]

This woman seems brilliant

[@sherikay2112]

even I will be able to member that

[@jaypaulauskas7108]

Too bad the border agents could not Do as their boss’s do. Remotely. It would be as effective as these folks...Just keep Your Thin Blue Line OFF my flag…..

That waste of questioning

Wtf is wrong with the titles? Where was anybody grilled? The title doesnt make any sense at all.

Another unqualified Bleep!

[@jay-el-bee]

Did Higgins tell the BCP that he and his comrades voted AGAINST funding more/ increasing measures to help border control? My guess is no.

[@larryt5192]

that was awesome "that's interesting" meorkas needs to get ready to be unemployed hopefully jailed

[@Jim-bt9xd]

I LOVE THIS GUY, """"""""""HIGGINS"""""""""" HIS ACCENT AND HIS METHODS ECT OF HIS QUESTIONING. ALSO HIS STRICT DEMEANOR!!!!!! THIS GUYS FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!

[@kennethrogers1129]

Why are the comments turned off on so many of Mr Higgins videos? It’s true he hits hard with good questions and the democrats, especially the DC Mayor, lie and evade and are combative in their responses, but he does a good job, thank you Mr Higgins, proud you are from Louisiana

[@pfzht]

He's interviewing Mayorkas' replacement. He just doesn't know it yet.

No😊

[@mick8888V]

Virtual meetings were actually a mainstay during the Pandemic and lawmakers could get more accomplished if they worked virtually. Be easier to reach quorum, amend bills, cast votes and skip the lobbyist socials altogether. I magine them actually accomplishing something rather than having a 3 day work week of posing for the cameras.

Clay Higgins is outstanding he pretty much showed how and where this lady shined and it wasn't in the current position that she's in no doubt but where she started to shine was when she was at least three or four steps or levels below her you can hear it in your voice and you can hear it in how she got more confident the lower she went down the pay grade😮😮 she's literally didn't know Jack diddly about her current positions duties you could say she just Spirit bald.
