1877469432218774694322. The big voted Sunday is you know or it's scheduled for Sunday if they have the votes the democratic leadership to want to wreck health care. And this is this is that's. So we're talking about it and joining us now on the line is representative Steve King. Republican of Iowa he's been fighting this thing to the mail and up thanks for being with us.
I appreciate the chance to do so -- always you know all you've added to this argument over the past few months.
Well we -- does Steve you had drawn earlier member of the democratic leadership piece from Boston. And -- he's he's with he's with us this time.
Well I have to think that is constituent might add something to say about that. I was around campaign might add something to say about.
55% of his constituents voted for Scott Brown he couldn't a year from South Boston you could read election returns.
Yeah I just love the way of Massachusetts has sent a message over the last few months. It's exhilarating to me to see that happen at this up that's you isn't done about everything they can do to save us from -- send -- I'm trying to use that to inspire others to Christian just as our.
I ask Rob Brown this today though it's like they've forgotten the message though Steve King I mean what what I you know what part of we don't want this thing in the blue a state of the union so what about everywhere else what part of that message could not understand.
The ballot there's then there's probably no part of the message they don't understand I think they've made a decision. I it is completely political has been political for several months now on this ceased being about policy back about that in January 19 and Massachusetts actually. I -- but now they're calculus coming down the list. But left wing liberal let's say it at that they would do anything and sacrificing anything in order to pass socialized medicine they don't need to worry. Because they're districts are not gonna throw them out they're drawn to protect them. Then that the other -- searches so the Democrats here. Part of them that made a decision that they're simply going to walk the plank and they resigned themselves to the end. And other political fate which is to swim and Davy Jones's locker for political returning. Any other side -- that they're somehow better make in the calculation based bank baking here reelected if they can just obfuscate the issue and that they can get enough money raised they can confuse the American.
Demon pass it's not gonna work as that --
Not even -- that's what it is. And you know I want something I haven't talked about very much I don't think anybody else who brought up. Is that if they do this and then they're gonna try I know they're gonna try helping get it done. But if they do there'll be this senate version the -- what has been deemed -- past that's senate version of the bill can't pass the Senate today. And we know that because this Cabral. That sent her in the bill can't pass the house so they put it up or able they would be without. That we can for the first time in American history have a huge piece of American public policy. Speck could not beat they cannot pass the Senate ticket not passed the house but nevertheless became law what the president's signature. And that is just breathtaking to me and it's a tragedy.
And how about the fact that the present Press Secretary said yesterday that they may do that they may try this again on equally odious legislation -- say. Amnesty for millions of illegal aliens.
We own glory -- If they if if they just shut the pattern and if people forgive them for it. They all -- right so sure that role and I can sit for a long time this. Now there's three huge pieces of the Obama agenda. They're all transformer favorite surpassing any combination that's cap and checks socialized medicine comprehensive amnesty. They can get any examination of those -- done this country I don't know how we recover from it. That's one of the reasons that I focused intensely on this and by the way we have a major illegal immigration rally taking place here on -- simultaneous to the world's first socialized medicine.
1877469432218774694322. You wanna talk to representative Steve King Republican of -- Ever -- frustrated Steve and you know many people of us spent days tried to call. Anybody in congress you know some people like picture they try to call McGovern. They get switch through them at McDermott silly talk to me garment out of Washington State. You know just just have somebody to vent their frustrations on what would you tell people do here in the final hours before this vote.
I'd say get in your car getting your pickup truck I come to Washington DC. We have a major rally here tomorrow at noon this this city you'll start to fill up around 9 o'clock in the morning. It'll begin to peak around -- at noon that everybody should the west side of the capitol and there'll be a major rally there. Well as some speakers that come out to weigh in on this and that. And that mass of people show up here to voice sir objectionable little later people laid back into the congressional offices. -- across this field so to have their voice is -- That is some big thing especially people on the east coast can do to help out the people that are earns too far away in -- admit it midwest are on the west coast. Others are flying in I think we will have a player from every state as we did before. But just in the last ten missiles in Poland and and it's it's fourth and goal we've got -- and we've got -- stack up well before they can get this fast I don't care what this weekend if we do adapt. They know that the momentum just ultraviolet scoreboard but the momentum those and then. There we -- on the ball on them and we get any election in November that actually recess this congress to reflect the will of the American people. Rather than a whim so the leftists have barely got to get wasn't there and right now.
I think there is gonna be massive change in congress but that I guess the question is if this thing gets through one Sunday in Indy. Warm. Is it possible clue to turn turn it backed it to do away with that once it's is once it's out of its shell.
That goes very very steep decline. It is and yet we end up with the new majority here in congress after the 2010 elections. We can -- But those -- to be vetoed by area Barack Obama. So we'll accept two thirds majorities to get that done that seemed improbable to me. It sought suggestions but all over energy into killing -- this weekend. It then on the other side if we if we do falls short -- dissension within well right now focus all of the political capital L all the energy we have. -- here on this hill and out into the heart of this mass gathering that's taking place at noon tomorrow. On the west side of the capitol but also declared process kill. And let them know I'll let them know to keep their hands off of our health care we don't need uncle Sam to tell us what health insurance policies we can't -- That we can stop this this weekend don't have to figure out how to kill her daughter how to reverse a but out of it and the other side and becomes. I'm I'm sure that there will be new troops arrived here in this capital there'll be a new a new bigger here and lots and lots in the face this. But it's still that's tough job you have to at -- to be so badly --
The mass rally I'll be watching on TV tomorrow night in the networks will report that a few hundred people showed up and that that's the story in the papers on Sunday morning you know that.
Well they'll try to and I yes I am convinced that -- but. Stay all when there was a huge rally here on 912. It happened when members of congress were not in town there were all this time they have to be here and they have to walk through the masses of people will be here tomorrow. And I -- ask Julia beat peaceful. Don't leave -- leave the place plane. Well when you see someone with a lapel pin on net debt to mark Simmons a member congress that they won't look you -- chances are they're gonna go we -- liberty.
What is now they'll know what his lapel pen and look like Steve case just so people will no -- to look for.
It's big -- the end it has a blue -- and again it's got. It's got an eagle on a disk updated the bunching up the United States root out the red white and blue the United States on -- and they'll be able to pick it out there are any others are now like you're running -- stand out there -- 435 album. And now I have 216. Overall -- you -- there along the -- and -- call her but overall yes take away your liberty.
It's amazing what are what are the chances what are the chances that though we win and they lose.
Right now I do think it's a jump ball and now I'm I think the advantage does go to Nancy Pelosi. I have said that you know she's 65 or 56 you've got the tools to do this because all the leverage -- she brought to bear and the president -- as leverage to bear. But I'm also Opel and baseball and I'm inspired. And down you know we receive an intervention from Massachusetts same. There wasn't a single and an America that ought to that was possible on Christmas Eve when Harry -- Davis had better get a -- stocking. And yes so who -- to say it's not possible -- more possible that we beat this bill in my view there illustrious governor would be elected so.
The speakers some are just the speaker says she's praying to saint Joseph's.
Or else she's gonna have a hard time making her argument to saint Peter what I would say.
Oh I it's like I was gonna sell -- to -- go. -- I don't start some illegals from getting over the border I like -- Peter Bennett on like your line and I prefer it.
That's as well anyway and -- you a piece of this while the Biggio. That -- forever since 1973. And Roe vs. Wade and over as Bolton. Nancy almost Seattle at Wimbledon. May end up for political persuasion have relentlessly made the argument that the federal government has no business telling a woman what she can or can't do what her body. And now everything people -- people seem glitter argue that the that are barely has every right to tell everyone in America what they can or can't do. What their body was regarding healthcare. I had I think it's just an outrageous hypocrisy in the party argument which one they gonna want to preserve. In the aftermath of this. I think that they're both strong actually and I keep telling him that every day every chance.
Let's take a few calls -- congressman Steve King a Republican -- always one of the leaders of this fight -- was stop start stop -- nationalizing of the Eden medical care industry. George your next with how we card -- president Steve.
And our representative -- I've -- they do I know you're active with -- We're amnesty and illegal and health care. And I liked it what bit out by the judge embedded district with the liberal Gutierrez did this objectively here on the map. They it is better to make any sense it's just joy imaginable that it they're getting -- the majority.
It basically I have a look at that map that's studied the way they garlic and rational district out of Chicago -- You can see that in fact -- and -- history that's something and -- you know upload -- not an expert. But I'm it is Barack Obama has been in the middle of that makes too and they're drawing these district lines up. And -- is clearly has set up to beating Hispanic districts and he'd become the apologist for illegal immigrants are. I'm happy to welcome -- illegal immigrants of all stripes were critical comment not make the argument that. They illegal immigrants they came to America brought with them -- vitality of their adopted -- so little nation and that's one of the reasons that Americans. Are you need people. But due to subvert the rule of law. In the fashion that beer is this suggesting. Undermines that 1 of the central pillars of American exceptional delicious the rule of law. And there's so we'll have that battle heir to the way election fact there marching on abortion and on Sunday. So we have a number of different things they're playing out here we have an anti war rally. We have April he'll be all pro illegal immigrant pro amnesty rally going on. And now we have the vote on this national health care that's being driven that's now called Obama care. So we'll have the patriots of all kinds here in this city.
I'm good Saturday and -- it is going to be a lot bigger than the other one Steve. I'm guessing the Saturday rally against -- Obama cares going to be a lot bigger than the other two.
It over and it's got to overcome everything and and that's where that they're real victory at circle as capital and stand in. I wish we didn't have to do this to be -- we can just make a cogent argument. But that's not Ali and so this is a cup we have been a -- on what all bigger.
Thanks for the call George David your neck with Howie Carr and congressman Steve King from Iowa call Mike go ahead Mike.
I write your congressman. You might think but. Besides they're like a really good emotional outbreak. Of exactly how it and nationalization. Of health care. Well yes I can't is that most of the extension coverage is actually -- screw private insurance. How that nationalization of.
Well it is because it sets up a national health care exchange and -- exchanged and brokers all the health insurance policy in America. It did actually theme is that those policy is all eventually be canceled if they're not approved by the new health choices administration commissioner. For the federal government then sets the standards by wish health insurance policies will be approved. And that means deregulate every insurance policy by the federal government or whether you. Federal government hires black water to do security over Kandahar whether that's done by uniformed troops -- the federal government still. Taking -- this security -- are. Same way here -- federal government managing your health insurance policies. Deciding which one terror probe which ones are which mandates are required and which ones aren't. And requiring every American -- buy a product which never before has ever happened my. And -- we -- there won't they'll add a penalty to every taxpayer who doesn't comply with those standards. 2% there 2000 dollars. And in when you -- all this stuff that a combination of it is the federal government's managing this all the way true. -- and it's.
How how I'll ask you -- name health choices commissioner you're gonna lose your health choices but we have a health choices commissioner.
They're requiring people to buy health insurance does not mean national healthcare. And they're exchanges as far as I'm as far as I understand it anyway are not federal but they're they're more local. And they're really chilly -- the conservatives argue is to actually have. He's sort of like being able to purple or smaller businesses -- private citizens to get the same. Benefit as large corporations.
Why did you -- caterpillar today east and announced that there's this new bill if it passes the in the Senate version is gonna cost them a hundred million a year but they already laid off 191000 people last year one of the major corporations in the United States. This is this is a business -- this just that this is not gonna help. Business Mike that it made it's as simple as that you know what's in the yard Massachusetts Scott Brown was talking about earlier today. When you have a Pope when you have politicians controlling something. Rather than the private sector they're going to be subject to war 22 intense lobbying. So what happens you know that how this works representative king of study -- Massachusetts. You have these people have these these pressure groups -- they want certain. And coverage -- To to to deal with with their particular over disease -- or their particular row whatever they wanna promote the I didn't products. And so -- at the -- beat. Beat coverage keeps expanding and it cost more and more and more and we have behind -- most expensive health care in America now in massive efforts.
Now I have watch that watch the mandates be added I Iowa -- writes that now what Bennett bought off those mandate not want to bring him to go up. But here's another piece of that sound you heard -- Mike and others to contemplate an idiot. That part of it is to hire 161500. IRS agent. To go in and audit everybody's still everybody's tax forms -- Germany if they've actually buying health insurance policy and it's approved by the federal government. If they haven't been levied the fine -- goes against acute attacks let me in the interest in the Elliot gross. I until such time you have no assets left by Paulette federalizing that's when you've got federal agents imposing that everyone buy in a group policy. I think coming in with the IRS and auditing and levying a fine against either Christian and build a house bill is. The house bill actually put people in prison for not staying at the Senate Millsap a little short that.
161500. New ways it might stay at 161500. New FBI. IRS agents.
That's the calculation that was released here sometime earlier this morning or late last night.
Wow in the house said the house sit word's gonna put people in jail of the Senate version I can't ever keep these things striped.
It out -- you're gonna put people in jail in accumulated signed up to 250000. Dollars and then the other side of those -- they were they were looking at a five years into. In the penitentiary. And a maximum penalty and I remember that because that what I read I you know we've never had a debtor's prison in America. And it this would fit the definition of what I read about debtor's prison back when I was starting at -- understand a little bit about American history and those earlier years. That's so I'm grateful at least that's not in the bill that's likely to end up being law but that was in the spirit of people wrote this in outside.
Steve good luck tomorrow and good -- bonds on Sunday to -- you know were world Prada which -- to pray to our guests I should British Saint Joseph though you know what I -- tried to. Neutralize. It's madame speaker's in treaty --
00 maybe well may operate as they have billionaire for him to find a way all this problem. -- to do is Brad and Nancy Pelosi in -- maker argument Peter.
We're running out of time thanks for the cost they've won 877469432. To arm our car.
