"Well actually the question really isn’t about the actual dollars, the question is the actual hypocrisy. We need to make sure that Washington, when they address this issue of abuses of powers, we look at both sides of the aisle and I can appreciate Senator Reid, he is a friend of mine, and I know he is trying to do the right thing, but the funds he is keeping are moneys from the Indian tribes that literally were taken illegally, at least the way they were presented to members of congress, as a form of taking care of the tribes. "
