- Rep Dave Brat (R) Virginia told us WHAT TO DO !
- " GLENN: All right. So Friday is the day.
The vote happens TOMORROW.
And, Dave, what should people do?
Should we call our congressmen?
DAVE: Yeah.
Right.
Ask your congressmen to explain to you
- what they know about it.
And if they don’t tell you anything,
say,
- I don’t trust the current regime.
And I want A NO VOTE out of you.
- the phone calls coming into my district are 21 against.
And in a year, if we sort this thing out and it becomes transparent and everything’s fine, I’m a free trader, I’ll vote yes.
But right now — Obamacare, right, it was so — it was going to lower costs.
Read the first sentence of Obamacare.
Right?
- It will provide insurance to more people, and it will lower costs.
Everybody has the check in the mail now.
You learn the hard way.
And you have a $5,000 deductible.
- Oops.
We didn’t know that going in, in our talking points
- Oops.
There’s a little deal in there, and we missed it.
"DAVE: ... But in this day and age, THE FIRST FEW WORDS ARE THE KEY.We’ll GIVE TRADE AUTHORITY TO President Obama.
So we’re going to give more authority to a president who has already done a run around us on executive amnesty, on the IRF, and the list just goes down and down and down.
And that’s the — that’s the big asterisk.
Breaking promises on Obamacare, EPA overreach, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Some guys are in districts where trade is huge, and they’re representing their people, which is their job.
And so, you know, different representatives really do have a tough votes (Phoenix) at times.
But in my view, THERE'S TOO MANY NOSES IN THIS THING. "
Start at 02:34:35 and go thru to 02:48:45 .
But the whole 3 hour show, especially with Rabbi Daniel Lapin from the American Alliance of Jews and Christians, is well worth your time.
Now that sentence IMMEDIATELY makes me AGAINST THE BILL:
- We’ll GIVE TRADE AUTHORITY TO President Obama.
But let's look at what else he made clear.
- " DAVE: ... Well, you guys probably covered the doc fix.
And on that thing, our leadership can go to Democrat leadership and find 300 votes, and it’s a done deal.
And worse than that,
- our guys have dug into it. Mick Mulvaney and Jim Jordan have done great work on this thing.
So basically if we vote yes
- the best way to think about this thing is just a locomotive train.
Right?
...
DAVE: ... It’s a living document.
The scariest part of it is that
- IT CREATES this Trans-Pacific Partnership Commission.
And that commission will likely HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO NOT ONLY CHANGE ITS MEMBERSHIP AND THE AGREEMENT ITSELF,
BUT TO ISSUE REGULATIONS RELATING TO IMMIGRATION,
- ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY, CURRENCY POLICY, LABOR POLICY.
And that’s why I was using that locomotive analogy.
Once you start that train down the road, IN ORDER TO STOP IT YOU HAVE TO GO TO "NOs" IN ORDER TO STOP IT FROM
- Ways and Means,
the Rules Committee,
Senate Finance,
and the House,
and the Senate.
So our conservative group, the Freedom Caucus, with Jim Jordan and all these guys, we’re trying to change the direction of that thing
- so that any member can stop it. "
KILL IT NOW !
