well, i don t believe that the president of the united states didn t know. for a long time it was just him and michael flynn on the campaign trail. at the beginning, very similar to what s going won the cabinet now, he couldn t get people to work for him. he was running that campaign on a skeleton crew. jeff sessions came aboard early and michael flynn was there from michael flynn was present at the creation. he s surrounded by a bunch of people who seem very comfortable working in the universe of kleptocracies so i m sure he just found you know, he found a way to get paid and he took it. the question i have here there s two avenues. one is it shows the importance of legislation that requires disclosure, we know this confirmed because of the foreign agent registration act. we don t know the president s tax records, we don t know his foreign business interests. all of the same things that may
now, he couldn t get people to work for him. he was running that campaign on a skeleton crew. jeff sessions came aboard early and michael flynn was there from michael flynn was present at the creation. he s surrounded by a bunch of people who seem very comfortable working in the universe of kleptocracies so i m sure he just found you know, he found a way to get paid and he took it. the question i have here there s two avenues. one is it shows the importance of legislation that requires disclosure, we know this confirmed because of the foreign agent registration act. we don t know the president s tax records, we don t know his foreign business interests. all of the same things that may apply, lord knows what is out there. this happened you should everyone s noses. there was some reporting, chuck ross at the daily caller and mike ross at yahoo! we don t have these for the president of the united states.
system and i think more people are better off that way. i want to get you on the record here. so you think the health care system before the affordable care act with no changes, back to that, is superior to the one we have now? absolutely i believe that. let me ask you this and left us a foundation where we can start to improve our health care and delivery system. let me ask you this. the bet that steve scalise and paul ryan and others in leadership are making is that everyone will roll over. that they re going to basically make you walk the plank on this. they won t listen to anything you say. they won t take changes and mccarthy was clear about that today. they re going to make you vote for this bill whether you like it or not. are you going to vote for it? well, i have a lean no today and i owe my constituents and everybody in this country my best everyday and my best judgment and i think that we ought to have an opportunity to bring amendments to this legislation. the
about law, it s about order. because if it were about law, well, then how can you explain a president who admitted to and boasted about repeated sexual assault and was accused by multiple women of the same? a president whose company, according to recent reporting in the new yorker, very well could have violated the foreign corrupt practices act, a president whose own attorney general stands accused of perjury by a u.s. senator for deceiving a senate committee under oath. heck, if you want to be literal about breaking immigration law, there s decent evidence that the first lady of the united states herself was paid for work while in the u.s. on a tourist visa which is, you guessed it, against the law. so don t be confused. it s not about law. what it s about is order and promising his most ardent supporters their place in that order. if that means deporting veterans and snatching fathers on their way to drop off their kids, well, then so be it.
rewrite this thing from a fresh start without being encumbered by some of the base work in obamacare. and if there are good pieces of that, we can put them back in by consensus rather than try to save something. how many people in your district are on the exchanges, congressman? i don t know that number. you may have that in front of you, chris, but i don t know that number. it s about 11,000 or so. do you know what s going to happen to them under this replace bill? have you talked to constituents? particularly in rural areas who are going to be paying more on out of pocket under this plan? of course we don t have that data because we just got a look at this bill that s been offered. i have a whole series of proposals that i think we should do but i will say on balance if the american people had to decide between continuing with obamacare the way it is and trying to supplement it so it doesn t go under or going back the way we were i d be for going back the way we were and then
