. >> before a packed decatur crowd, he linked taft directly to william larrimore that would be expelled from the illinois legislature to obtain his senate seat. he said earlier he trashed taft. why is there so much respect for him? he feels going against his own party and choice for president. that's a nasty thing for somebody to do. >> i think when historians and myself included look at his behavior from 1910, 1911, on, that some of that respect diminishes. because i think partly he just wanted to be president again. he couldn't wait. if he had waited until 1916, he probably would have been president. so it shows that he did get carried away with himself. and once he takes on an adversary, the adversary becomes an enemy. this is totally unfair what you just read. not true he had anything to do with the corrupt senator, taft. teddy said once he takes on somebody, he has to destroy the person in order to justify his behavior. i don't like that side of him. the side of him from 1910, 1911, 1912 on, on the other hand, if you read the progressive party platform, the speeches are so forward-

they too have decatur. those the cater to government has created to get votes just to survive. my biggest hangup about both parties is simply this. they are more interested in party power and reelection than office ton the represent and make decisions which are the best for all people. i don't care about labels. i just want the united states to stay strong. one other thing, i would just wish that instead of talking a $17 trillion indebtedness, how about just that withe truth unfunded liabilities, it is $70 trillion. even the chinese are backing off from buying our debt. hope that somewhere, somehow, we as a country can get back to being a proud country. the politicians will do what is best for the country, not their party, for the reelection. >> vernon, we appreciate that. that will be the last word for this evening. more tomorrow morning on "washington journal" on c-span. you can see the comments from rick perry anytime on our video library at the span.org. the head of the consumer financial protection bureau said today that the bureau does not intend to delay. that is next on

rachel, my constituent from decatur, illinois, recently contacted my office to let me know that the health care plan she had for her and her daughter is being canceled due to obamacare. she was provided with a list of options to replace that plan but the cheapest would double her monthly premium and increase her deductible to $6,000 per person. mr. davis: mr. speaker, rachel and her daughter had a plan and they liked it and now she cannot afford any of the alternatives given to her. in her note to me, rachel summed it up best, we were told we could keep our plan if we liked our plan. we are at a loss how we will continue our health care coverage. mr. speaker, the last 45 days prove what many of us have been saying all along. this law is simply unacceptable, unworkable and unaffordable, period. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentleman from oklahoma rise? mr. lankford: unanimous consent to address the house for one minute revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. lankford:

completely accurate as i can and that is the case, why my publishers brought me here at great expense to decatur, ga. to talk about "1 summer: america, 1927". i don't like to talk too much about that new book but especially this one because it just seems there's a danger of spoiling it. especially feel that way about this one because summer of 1927 was amazingly eventful and magical, memorable summer. i think the most memorable and eventful summer any nation has ever had certainly in peace time. for me it was just a whole bunch of discoveries. i didn't know all that had been happening. i hope the reader will be as amazed as i was to discover them. i don't like to talk about it too much but the foundation that got me started on this was i have always been fascinated by the fact that we do things happened in the same summer that happened in tandem. one was charles lindbergh flew the atlantic and the other was babe ruth hit 60 home runs. i was vaguely fascinated by the idea of these two events completely contrasting human beings happened in parallel at the same time. i had it in mind that might be
