mrs. wagner: thank you, mr. speaker. for the past eight years, president obama has used his pen and phone to create a fourth branch of government that overreaches through executive orders and federal rules and regulations. but today is a new day. a day when congress begins to dismantle this fourth branch of government and drain the swamp in washington. through the entirety of this president's administration, republicans have fought against out-of-control growth of federal bureaucracy and rules and regulations that have suffocated the american economy. the last time i checked, the president's job was to enforce existing laws and work with the elected members of congress whose responsibility it is to pass laws as the people's representatives. instead, i believe he's undermined not only our constitution but also the american people through this executive power grab. it is time to get rid of the washington knows best topdown, one-size-fits-all rules like the e.p.a.'s waters of the u.s., the clean power plan, the department o

mr. troy wagner has a quite lengthy disciplinary history. >> wagner says his latest outburst was prompted by his desire to be moved to another housing unit. he says other inmates were harassing him because he is a sex offender. >> the best thing is to keep it to yourself and not tell somebody what you're in prison for, because you tell people what you're in prison for, then they go around telling other inmates and other inmates will run after you, they want to fight you. >> like wagner, jeffrey flanders, serving a life sentence for murder, has also felt vulnerable around other inmates, but for a completely different reason. he stands just 4'6" tall. >> prison is a place where they tend to prey on the weak. i carry myself in a way that a person would know, if they came anywhere in my space and was trying to take something from me or cause me any type of physical harm, that they'll be dealt with. >> nobody ain't going to come take nothing from me. even if they won the battle, it won't be a battle they just win this day, it will be an ongoing battle. >> flanders' small stature is the result
