me. i d all like to thank jim enhoff who has been so terrific in so many different way, beyond even this. so i want to thank jim. also the leadership in the senate on this issue. a great friend of mine. epa so called waters of the u.s. rule is one of the worst examples of federal regulation. it has truly run amuck. it is one of the rules, most strongly opposed by farmers, ranchers and agricultural workers across our land. it s prohibiting them from being allowed to do what they re supposed to be doing. it s been a disaster. the clean waters act says the epa can regulate navicable waters, those that affect interstate commerce. few years ago the epa decided that can mean nearly every puddle or every ditch on a farmer s land or anyplace else
i agree with daniellea a little bit. this happens at the end of bush s term when they call him a racist and compared him to adolf hitler. this doesn t help the country and doesn t help the party that s doing it. as we re trying to move past closing down the government, i think we need to stay on the issues as close as possible. do you think ted cruz said, dad, we ve all been there probably at one thing or another, dad, you went too far or do you think that, frankly, he pretty much agrees with him? no, no, i m sure he s had a conversation with his dad since that and said, dad, it s not helping. i m not so sure. this is a day we take off the story. we re not talking about the issues of obama care, we re not talking about government funding or a $17 tril january debt, we re talking about a senator s father that made comments a year ago that s not helpful to the cause. i heard you say you re not so sure. no, i m not. i think there are some republicans, and i think ted cruz is o
