Please be advised today's session is being
recorded for Representatives' Cummings
00:00:04.100,00:00:05.230
reality show.
00:00:08.570,00:00:09.410
-Um, for the record, Mr. Chairman, we see it
as less of a reality show and more of a
00:00:09.440,00:00:10.170
docu-drama.
00:00:10.680,00:00:12.950
-Noted, now let's begin.
Representative Haller.
00:00:13.420,00:00:14.760
-Everyone just act natural...
00:00:15.480,00:00:19.480
-The nations coastal economies are home to
over 50 million jobs.
00:00:20.120,00:00:23.890
The oceans must be protected! to ensure the
nations fiscal health.
00:00:24.190,00:00:27.790
-Rep. Haller, are you aware that the nation
is still recovering from a crippling
00:00:28.100,00:00:32.170
recession? Or are you immune to that over
there in your perfect little 12th district of
00:00:32.470,00:00:35.010
Pennsylvania? I'm so sick of the way you act!
00:00:35.470,00:00:39.810
-Look, my constituents are counting on me.
And I may not know much about legislation,
00:00:40.370,00:00:41.770
but I won't let them down.
00:00:42.380,00:00:45.450
-I'm sorry.
Look I know I have the tendency to rub people
00:00:45.750,00:00:47.620
the wrong way.
You know how I am.
00:00:47.980,00:00:51.450
A big Diva, a blow-hard, the Rep. everyone
loves to hate.
00:00:51.780,00:00:54.980
-Please proceed Rep. Haller, we still need
to adress the proposed restrictions
00:00:55.220,00:00:56.120
on commercial fishing.
00:00:56.470,00:00:59.860
-Nobody better test my fish history, I don't
like anyone messing with my amendments.
00:01:00.230,00:01:02.730
-Rep. Cummings I know you want to protect
your legislation...
00:01:03.000,00:01:05.400
-You think you know me? you don't know the
first thing about me!
00:01:05.830,00:01:07.900
Or where I come from or what Iv'e been
through!
00:01:08.300,00:01:09.900
-I have been to your district many times.
00:01:10.200,00:01:12.170
-Are you trying to get in my face Mr.
Chairman?
00:01:12.510,00:01:16.080
-Hey, hey, hey, I may be a star struck
newbie Rep. Just trying to make my way
00:01:16.380,00:01:19.550
in the big city, but I know we have to work
together.
00:01:20.050,00:01:24.620
-I'm sorry, I hate fake-ness. You know that.
When I think someone is being fake,
00:01:24.920,00:01:26.990
I call them on it. I'm sorry.
-Apology accepted.
00:01:27.250,00:01:29.050
Rep. Haller please continue with your
statement.
00:01:29.460,00:01:30.830
-Yes, please, proceed.
00:01:32.430,00:01:35.700
-Rep. Cummings, put those away.
-Put my Swifty Duster away?
00:01:36.360,00:01:40.130
I will, in just a few seconds... Which is
all it takes to make a dusty table like this,
00:01:40.570,00:01:41.870
shine like it's brand new.
00:01:42.240,00:01:44.510
-This meeting is to discuss shoreline
development, not for cleaning.
00:01:44.800,00:01:46.900
-Swiffering, let the record show that we are
swiffering.
00:01:47.340,00:01:48.540
-They work great on fabric too!
00:01:48.880,00:01:51.980
-Rep. Haller your time is nearly up.
-...These handbags I'm designing,
00:01:52.210,00:01:53.740
they're called Handbags From The Hill.
00:01:54.010,00:01:55.780
I'm hoping to have them in stores by next
spring.
00:01:56.080,00:01:58.350
