GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: Tonight, the public flogging continues. And guess what? They deserve it! Tonight, is it the beginning of the end for the GSA? In day two of hearings on Capitol Hill, Congress once again barbecuing GSA officials for their agency's flagrant abuse of taxpayer money after the GSA spent almost a million dollars of your money on clowns, mind readers and luxurious vacations, several lawmakers now threatening to put an end not only to the waste but to the entire agency.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

REP. JEFF DENHAM, R-CALIF.: If we continue to not only see this type of spending, we will continue to audit. If we continue to see that you're not giving us the information on a bipartisan level to show us how these expenditures are happening, I am prepared to systemically pull apart GSA to the point where we will make it a question to the American public on whether GSA is needed at all!

REP. TIM WALZ, D-MINN.: When they knew this was being done on, you know -- and I don't -- we can pick out the things, sushi or whatever, makes the highlight tonight or whatever. But 44 bucks for breakfast? I'm a big man. I can't spend 44 bucks for breakfast! Somebody had to say that. Are you kidding me? And then what it does is the American public believes every single employee and every single agency is corrupt and not doing what they're supposed to.

REP. JOHN MICA, R-FLA., TRANSPORTATION & INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN: Well, I see why Mr. Neely is not with us today and the only pictures I can get of him are in his hot tub suite.

REP. LOU BARLETTA, R-PENN.: Here's the bigger problem and here's a news release. Big government doesn't work! It just doesn't work! This is not the way the private sector works! And I think what we need to be talking about, what do we do instead of the GSA? Because there's lots of abuse in the GSA and there's lots of abuse of other government agencies throughout this government. And I believe the $822,000 spent in Las Vegas by the GSA should be a farewell party! Thank you.

VAN SUSTEREN: Congressman John Mica is chairman of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. He joins us. Good evening, sir.

REP. JOHN MICA, R-FLA., TRANSPORTATION & INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN: Good to be with you, Greta.

VAN SUSTEREN: All right, the thought of systemically pulling apart GSA -- I suppose we all would sort of like to get rid of GSA tonight, but that's rather impractical since somebody's got to run the physical structures of the government.

MICA: Well, you know, it's the biggest landlord in the world, the GSA. It runs all of our property that the people own. But how many people listening would turn over their property for the management by the federal government? I don't think many.

And what Mr. Denham and I have discussed is maybe taking apart GSA. What you've seen here is only the tip of the iceberg. They're sitting on billions of dollars worth of assets and losing money and the billions every year with vacant public buildings, some of them not too far from where we're sitting tonight.

VAN SUSTEREN: But how did, you know, clowns and mind readers and iPods and bathtub nude pictures and glasses of wine -- how did -- why did it take that for all of a sudden you to realize there's billions of dollars being wasted?

MICA: Well, sometimes -- yes, sometimes that's what gets the media and the public's attention. We...

VAN SUSTEREN: But we're not -- we're not...

MICA: We held a...

(CROSSTALK)

VAN SUSTEREN: We don't have the oversight, though! You guys do! I mean...

MICA: Well, we just held a hearing -- I held a hearing in a vacant building that was vacant for 15 years a year ago. We had some attention to that. A few weeks before all this broke, Mr. Denham and I held a hearing in a vacant building...

VAN SUSTEREN: But what...

(CROSSTALK)

MICA: ... 89,000 square feet, vacant under GSA for over five years.

VAN SUSTEREN: But what happened? I mean, you held a hearing, but what happened? Did you do anything? Did anything happen or did you just hold a hearing?

MICA: Well, what we've done is we've also introduced legislation bracktack -- because GSA doesn't make a decision. They sit on these assets that are very valuable. They won't sell them. They won't lease them. They won't trade them. They won't make them have a return, rather than a loss for the taxpayers.

So what we did is we introduced a brack type of legislation, someone to make a decision.

VAN SUSTEREN: Which means that...

(CROSSTALK)

MICA: That's sitting over -- that's sitting over in the Senate. We passed it in the House. So we have held hearings. We've asked for the accounting of their money. They stonewalled us month after month. This has gone on for -- I've been chairman for a year and what, a quarter -- almost every single month except for the first month, and we held a first hearing in February over a year ago. They've stonewalled us.

Now we see why they didn't want to give us the details because the details are -- the devil is in the details. And now we're seeing the details of -- that's is just their administrative expenditures!

VAN SUSTEREN: And I think -- Senator McCaskill is coming up. I think she'll tell you the same thing -- she sent series of letters over the last at least year or so or two years and it's been a hard time getting information.

MICA: We've been stonewalled...

VAN SUSTEREN: Stonewalled.

MICA: ... both the House and the Senate.

VAN SUSTEREN: All right, now, do you think the White House -- I mean, I know that -- I know that the White House heard about this last May. But do you in any way sort of, you know, assign blame to the White House on this?

MICA: Well, they were very quiet. I think this -- there was an attempt to brush this under the carpet, so to speak.

VAN SUSTEREN: In what way?

MICA: Well, they were informed, again -- it was -- the communications from the GSA counsel to the White House counsel, as you said, last May. Here it is what, not quite a year later, and it just comes out about a week ago. They knew about this.

And they were also told again to stop the nonsense, to stop waste and possible criminal activity. And nobody did anything.
