run for the senate. that s one thing. it missed by one vote in the senate. do i regret the senate missing this opportunity of a life time to reduce the debt and bring down healthcare premiums? yeah. i m proud of the fact that the house has consistently passed these bills. the house passed this bill. the senate didn t. so there s more to do. but i do feel like we ve done a lot to advance this cause. we re not there yet, but i think we ll get there because we have to do this. dana: some people might be surprised that you made the decision to leave because, as i understand it, you hit your goal of the fund-raising numbers seven months early because you were trying to help other republicans to try to keep their seats. 58 members of congress are not seeking reelection. there was some feeling today that are you perhaps abandoned the troops in the middle of a pretty tough midterm? not at all. first of all, i m going to keep doing the fund-raising. i have broken every record any speaker
privacy. since i have been on congress, this is what we ve been grappling with. what s kind of the mix between free market and where government should have some regulation of privacy? hopefully this is the beginning, i guess the middle of the conversation, but really taking it seriously now. we ve got to understand that while facebook has a right, we have a right to privacy and there needs to be better communication about that. dana: all right. congressman, thanks for stepping out of that hearing. i will sit down with madeleine albright and ask her what she thinks of president trump s foreign policy. i have not liked foreign policy by tweet. and so i think that especially the tone of the last one, is troubling.
