this is the facebook page of republican congressman jeff landry of louisiana. on his facebook page, he is highlighting an interview he did this week with a right-wing radio show. in that right-wing talk radio interview, congressman landry said this. >> this is an administration who has no problem granting special status or waivers to muslims as they two through tsa screenings. >> muslims don't have to go through tsa screenings? muslims get special waivers for the tsa? no! that's not true, at all! not even close. it was a glenn beck conspiracy theory a couple of years ago on the internet machine. now, granted, that was the height, i guess, of glenn beck's influence in the republican party, so, you know, glenn beck cracks a crazy conspiracy theory in the glenn beck corner of the internet and republicans all believe it for a second. but when somebody made the mistake of actually checking to see if it was true, frankly, it ruined everything. then senator john ensign, ah, john ensign, he'll be back on the show later, he asked at a hearing, he asked the head of the t

oh man i mean when it comes to my opinion i think that it's bad enough to landry's even opposing the contraception rule just last week in oklahoma emergency room refused emergency contraception to a rape victim because a doctor claimed that it violated her beliefs but seriously landry's going to try to compare the contraception issue to ts a screening i mean i hate to be the one to tell you this jeff but your comparison sucks hell it's not even shrew for starters the t.s.a. doesn't grant waivers of any kind everyone to subject of the same screening process unless you count paying extra for the prescreening as a waiver and everyone has to go through the exact same screening in fact it's safe to argue in this post nine eleven era that muslims are targeted way more by the t.s.a. the two thousand and seven study by the pew research center center show that thirty six percent of muslims are muslim americans who travel by plane were singled out for special screening in that same year the t.s.a. said the only three percent of all passengers received a pat down during the secondary screening

a conservative lawmaker who seems to have a little trouble making comparisons to congressman jeff landry from louisiana as a proud republican he's been working with pat robertson's american center for law and justice challenging the obama administration's stance on contraception surely you guys remember sandra fluck rush limbaugh slack comment the catholic church is losing it over offering contraception so keeping that in mind landry went on jay seculars radio show to keep this outcry going and while he tried to attack team obama for mandating that religiously affiliated hospitals and colleges include contraception coverage in their plans he made this really strange comparison this is an administration who has no problem granting special status or waivers to. muslims as they go through t.s.a. screening which of course if they believe. that there is a need to grant them special. special rights as they go through t.s.a. screening based upon their religion then that's fine i'm ok with that but then don't turn around and attack christians when they stand up and say listen we believe that the

but landry claims he wasn't doing that.n. >> doesn't have anything to do with obama or trying to make him look like a muslim. >> no, come on. no. this has to do with respecting religion. this has to do with rights of conscience. that is the bottom line. >> you know, i love it when people say stuff and then refuse to discuss it any further, come on our show and answer questions about it. and then when you do finally track them down, they kind of attack you or blame you for -- as if you have taken something out of context. joe, i'm sure it was a long, exhausting day. i appreciate you doing that. >> my pleasure. >>> isha is back with a 360 news and business bulletin. >>> anderson, the family of a chinese student in canada murdered is there to take him home. he was mutilated and dismembered. suspect luka rocco magnotta will be extradited in canada to face first-degree murder charges. >>> and an aide to saddam hussein was executed. he was hussein's national security adviser, secretary, and bodyguard. he was once number four on t

>> congressman landry says he is being taken out of context.alth care, not tsa or muslims or airports. he was on the radio talking about how the administration makes religious accommodations at tsa so why not in health care. but if that was the point he was making it got derailed by the example he used. tsa regulations on head coverings specifically apply to people of all faiths not just muslims. here's what he said. >> you said that muslims got waivers. what did you mean by that? do you know something we don't know? >> well, look, you want to take my words out of context. i wrote an op ed on this piece in february. we issued a press release. it has been on our website since february. at the end of the day the administration has made accommodations, okay? for people who are wearing religious -- traditional religious clothings, muslims wearing headpieces or not there, have been accommodations made but it's -- and our nation has made accommodations for conscientious dissenters in the military. we could take the same approach to the hhs mandates.

i am daniel landry. i was born and raised in the western addition. what i hear is about economics, i am a small-business owner and was impacted by the redevelopment era. my question, and my thought is that, can we find a way to make certain that those who have been impacted by the redevelopment agency have opportunities, economically, and for housing? the beat goes on. it may seem like the sunset of the redevelopment agency may be happy for some state officials, but some of us have been left behind. a few years ago we took the delegation to vallejo, and warned ossie dviavis they were on trouble. the city went bankrupt. this is about how you treat the poor. at the end of the day, nations and states and localities have failed because the poor people do not have an opportunity. i want to put that in the front burner. i thank you for coming out and sharing the information you have on the city budget, thank you.

my name is jeff landry, i represent louisiana's third congressional district. and i can echo, i'm proud to be here with representative michele bachmann and sandy adams and steve scalise, and i will tell you at the end of the day, our founders relied on one group to solve our problems. it wasn't the supreme court, it was, we, the people. and the people, it's time for the people to speak up and demand that congress repeal this law, limit this federal government, and solve the problems that have been ailing this country over the last 30 years. and so my commitment to you and to the people is that i will continue this fight, and ensure that we repeal this damaging legislation that now knows no limit to the federal government's power. thank you. >> thank you, jeff landry! >> thank you very much. i'm blake farenthold from texas. i think jeff had it exactly right. the final check on the power of government is the people. if you object to this law, if you object to the continuing overreach of the federal government as we take more and more of your money away, as we tak

struggling financially is this really the time to be demanding mall well of course this is what i'm doing landry said today's the doctors don't understand the economic and political implications of what they're doing but actually i think they act salute we understand it and if we look at what we need to do for society there's a couple of different answers of course we can go along the expansion route and demand that the government creates more jobs by building hospitals building schools not closing them creating more jobs that people can then spend their earnings in the economy we can also look at the political priorities of our governments governments that are prepared to spend billions of pounds on wars still governments are prepared to bail out the banks that are paid to cover our m.p.'s expenses and at the same time not saying that they can't afford education health care housing and all the other things that we need in our class in society but do really believe there is an alternative to cut backs to austerity measures. well i think i just said that in my my previous comment of course we hav

landry. mr. landry: thank you, mr. graves. a -- and mr. huelskamp was just so on the mark. i would venture to say that today's ruling actually extinguishing the fire of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. it destroys life and liberty and that pursuit. the question today for this country can best be summed up by president ronald reagan when he said back in the 1960's, in a speech, will history write that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent it from happening? this is a sad and tragic day for the constitution. where is the limits of our government? while the court has answered that the commerce clause does have its limits, and gives us that ruling, it takes away by saying that congress has unlimited taxing power. so it limits or unlimited. i guess that congress now, when it sees fit to regulate an issue, an indury, need only now to turn to its taxing power, as mr. huelskamp said. this law was sold to us as a mandate. and not a tax. and it was reaffirmed by the president that this is not a tax. but yet when it's -- when the arguments were made to its

landry of louisiana. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. landry: this amendment is simple, it seeks to improve the environment by assuring that those states that allow offshore drilling are allowed to keep more revenue from off their shores. we passed the historic gulf of mexico act that allows states to share in the royalties from offshore drilling. however the act only provided 37.5% of the revenue to the states and then capped the states at no more than a collective $500 million per year. condition versely, the mineral leasing act requires the federal government to give 50% of the energy revenue generate opped federal lands to states in which it is generated. in louisiana we wholly support offshore drilling. but we are proud to supply 80% of our nation's offshore energy. why should we not share in this? my amendment moves the share of drilling into line with the on shore drilling. my amendment does not impact on shore producing states. if your state is receiving revenue om on shore energy production, now, my amendment does nothing to cha
