cathy mcmorris rodgers: we were all saddened by the tragedy in orlando. it was heartbreaking. a reminder that at the end of the day, no matter your background, we are all americans. even as we grieve as a nation, we must remain vigilant to protect the promise of america. a promise that everybody here should have the confidence to live free, knowing that they are safe in their own communities, so they can pursue their own dreams. because in america, we trust people to make the best decisions for themselves, not a government that decides for you. but today, we are on edge as isis makes the world more dangerous. seniors are worried about retirement. and students worry about good jobs to pay back their debt. many families cannot understand washington, d.c. and the one size fits all regulations and arbitrary rules. we are anxious, because our voices are not heard in congress. there is a better way to restore representative government and uphold the constitution. that is what we rolled out this week. our goal is to reconfirm that the government by the people, speaking through repres

i'm especially gratified to cathy mcmorris rodgers and those who help her for this invitation an forhis gathering. the united states constitution is the greatest manmade charter for human government in all of human history. it does not memorialize the rights of government as do most constitutions. rather, it proclaims and safeguards the rights of the individual and limits government. it specifically guarantees the rights of life, liberty, and property, of which each individual cannot be deprived without due process of law. and from that foundation has extrapolated the most powerful, the freest, and most noble nation known to man. our oath of office, sworn before almighty god by members of congress, to support and defend the constitution, sacredly binds each of us to that noble task. yet certain rules and practices of congress, unconstitutional executive orders and legislating from the bench have become a mortal threat to the constitution. it has indeed threatened our article 1 powers of the purse. no one could possibly and more exquisite he articulate it than did congressman hal roge

representative cathy mcmorris rodgers introduces legislation that could be the solution. allow any veteran who receives va benefits and unsatisfied with his or her care could seek care outside the va. joining me right now to discuss mike and captain ash. let me start with you. of course this seems like a common sense solution. but common sense has not been applied to this problem for a long time, and you wonder why there's still so much resistance. >> well, it's part of the bureaucracy, charles, and nowhere does it mention the government providing health care. yet that's what the government's been doing. so it's been doing it at extremely high cost and gross inefficiency with all of the pleadings and the threats and the rights to get it moving, it still hasn't happened, and i think representative mcmorris rodgers is on the right path. >> i'm pretty sure you agree. and, you know, listen, i don't think they're going to solve this backlog problem. they brought in the sector guy and despite the gap. made the other day. >> the knee-jerk reaction reaction. looking at the and th

republican conference chair cathy mcmorris rodgers gave this explanation.uote, did i cast my ballot with enthusiasm? not exactly. do i have concerns about the comments he made in the past and on the campaign trail this year about women, people with disabilities, and people from different backgrounds? absolutely. he will have to earn the presidency by demonstrating that he has the temperament for the job. that's a republican saying that about him. some republicans have found a single issue to focus on as a way to make the best of the situation. case in point, rick santorum. you think the pro-life evangelical probably disagrees about trump's statements on god and abortion. santorum said he jumped on the bandwagon after he read trump's list of possible supreme court nominees. speaker ryan, he says he's confident that trump will help him advance his agenda in the house. but today, for instance, he slammed trump's racially charged attacks on a federal judge who is overseeing the trump university lawsuit. while at the same time, telling us again why he's supporti

happy to be able to say today that the highest ranking gop woman in the house leadership, cathy mcmorris rodgers, has signed on to are working for been agenda. that is a huge step forward. it shows we are building support at the federal level and she will be able to help us gain support at the state level as well. sometimes it does seem that for every big step forward that we take two steps backward. republicans managed to shrink the gender gap to about five points in the national election, but i think many people feel as though conservatives have been set back this election season with women which is frustrating to many of us who have spent years focus on advancing a policy agenda and messages that will resonate and be appealing to women. our goal is to make sure that more women value limited government and liberty come as a -- and liberty, so this is a frustration. this for are in long-term hand when i look around the room i know we are theng a difference for reason i feel confident about it is that i don't just see i fw supporters here. but is he a roomful of other women leaders and other wom

i congratulate cathy mcmorris rodgers, proud to work on this project, and wish all the best for its success. [applause] mr. collins: good morning, i'm doug collins from georgia's ninth district. i come from the neevet georgia mountains and poultry is our biggest industry. we're the poultry capital of the world. it's a thriving sector, and we're striving to meet the demands of america and the world. but somewhere in many cubicles across washington they determined that's not good enough, they're putting things in the way, putting costs and increasing the burden on our poultry industry. somewhere along the way the executive branch has forgotten it's their job to enforce the laws, not make the laws. if they would like to make the law, i encourage them to put their name on a ballot and run, not do it the wrong way. they seem to be more concerned with a political agenda than enforcing the law. osha, who is tasked with the basic health and safety of workers, a noble cause, is continuing putting into practice things like a wall-to-wall inspection of poultry plants. this isn't done for safety reason
