Legislative branch, but people in the white house, people in the legislative branch, and people in the judicial, should take a page out of his book. This government sucks. I hate to say that. We have no moral compass and, you know, a lot of people in this country like to go and say that theyre conservative or theyre liberal and theyre only just tags. They dont pay any attention to what these people are doing. They do nothing but make excuses, they make a lot of roblems that, you know, that really have spread us to a quagmire in this country. And i really have, as i said, i like to say that i have a lot of respect for him for realizing what is up, what is at stake. I think that if he had to pray the prayer Saint Francis would say, make me a channel of thy peace, i think we should start we should send copies of that prayer to everybody in this government. Because more of them need to start praying it and they need to get out when they realize that what they brought this country to. Host
Doesnt like our bill, it could wind up being a part of the grand bargain or some other mustpass piece of legislation, spending bill or a debt ceiling bill. What about those who argue, it could hurt Energy Prices here or hurts the cause of green energy, what about critics who say that the exporting of crude oil is something that shouldnt happen . How do you respond to that . Mr. Flores should we stop exporting chevies next, should we stop exporting wheat, flour, corn . Why is oil any different than any other product thats produced by the American People . How can they justify picking one product out and say, oh, you cant export that . We want to export everything else. This is the president who republicans helped him get a free trade get fast track authority. Because he wants to be known as the free trade president. Why does he want to block one particular commodity . It doesnt make sense. Notwithstanding the different world views you described between the president and republicans earl
Close. I have not always agreed and i wasnt always happy with what john told me, but he never, ever misled me. He never, ever told me something that wasnt true. And i accepted that. I got where i understood john boehner very, very well. His word was always good. We had a lot of dealings, socalled backchannel meetings. Everyone knows that a lot of things that we do are not in the public eye, and certainly some things we worked on together perhaps wouldnt have worked out very well in the public eye, but there are things we had to do to get things done. I had a very Good Relationship with john boehner. My staff got along with his hes had two chiefs of staff, and they have both been terrific to work with. My staff has reached out to them on so many occasions in very difficult times, and they had a Good Relationship. I have no doubt that everything that john boehner has done has been done with the fact in mind that he was doing his best for the people of his district in ohio and our country
