On Tuesday, entrepreneur Magatte Wade spoke before a House Hearing on ‘Reining In the Administrative State: Regulatory and Law Reform.’
During her testimony, Wade called out Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) for his focus on attacking Elon Musk rather than addressing the issues impacting American entrepreneurs.
Wade shared her background as an immigrant and entrepreneur and her concerns about the impact of over-regulation in the US.
“I have been doing business, obviously, both in Africa as in the US, in the US, in the States of California, Texas, and New York.”
“Mr. Raskin, your words earlier really, really worried me, and I will tell you why. When you say we are here and we should be here to talk about Mr. Elon Musk and all the unconstitutional things that he’s doing, and you said we shouldn’t be here to talk about regulation or anything like that. First of all, I want to say, then why did you have me here?”
“As an entrepreneur, my time is valuable. I came here because I thought we were going to talk about the regulatory state and why it matters.”
“So, you need to make up your mind on that. I’m deeply offended by what you said there.”
“Furthermore, I would tell you why I came when I was invited to speak on this. Because right now, everybody in this country, these issues of regulation, overregulation has been made into It’s a matter of partisanship. Are you from the left? Are you from the right?”
“I don’t care.”
“Because where I come from, the overregulation causes us to be where we are. My continent, Africa, is the poorest region in the world today because it happens to be the most overregulated region in the world.”
“So, if you don’t see the value of overregulation if you need and want to wait until this country becomes like most African countries, I don’t know. I love this country, and I don’t want to see it go down there.”
“Also, just so you know, what does overregulation mean for regular people? It means death, death, literally.”
“People are packing themselves into little fishermen’s boats, trying to leave nations that are overregulated, therefore no jobs, and then they have to leave and go seek jobs someplace else. By the way, English is only my fourth language, so when I trip on words, please excuse me, you all.”

Later in her testimony, Wade turned her attention to Raskin and destroyed his partisan narrative.
“It is clear that these regulations are not put in place with us in mind, and that needs to stop. And the fact that Mr. Raskin, you’re here this whole time we’ve been here. You’ve just been complaining about the process. I’ll call it the process.”
“And again, I’m not agreeing, disagreeing with your issues right now around Musk and the process that’s following Mr. Vladec, the process that you’re following.”
“At some point, what is the end game? Isn’t the end game to make us, the American people, better off? Isn’t it?”
“No, I hear you saying that the stuff that would make us better off doesn’t matter.”
“All you care about right now is a process of, Musk and his associates are not doing this the right way.”
“The goal, is the goal moral and right or not?”
“If you say it is, as I think you should be saying, then the fight shouldn’t be about, we need to take Musk down or Trump down.”
“Let us rethink that if you want, but keep your eye on the ball, and your ball should be me. It should be me. I’m sorry, it should be me. It should be me.”
“How do we make me better off? Thank you, Mr. Jordan.”
Democrats would rather attack @elonmusk than help cut regulations to make America a better place.
Just watch.
