mr. olson: mr. speaker, on november 8, the american people gave my party control of the entire congress and the white house because of the promise-breaking, job-killing law known as obamacare. the craziest thing in the whole world, according to president bill clinton. the fear mongers on the other side are -- tell americans, they'll lose their health care in a snap. they should talk to martha. martha is a self-employed c.p.a. who developed a nasty leukemia a couple of years ago. she was told to get ready for the end of her life. a miracle happened. experimental treatment reduced her cancer from grade three to grade one. the drugs to save her life cost 15,000 per month on october -- -- month. on october -- because of obamacare, they was told she had to pay 50% that are -- 50% of that cost instead of 30%. hat's tough for her to afford. martha got to hold her fifth grandkid this past summer. house republicans want her to hold her sixth and seventh grandkid in the future. we have our orders to repeal ob

the chair recognizes the gentleman from texas, mr. olson, or five minutes. mr. olson: mr. speaker, texans know the difference between right and wrong. between truth and lie. the democrats promised four things when they passed owe bam -- obamacare. number one, you can keep your insurance. number two, you can keep your doctor. number three, a better quality of care. number four, that care will come at a lower cost. within weeks we found out that all four promises were being broken. all four the lies. don't take my word for it. take the word of the constituent andrea. s 22, my boss, andrea writes, i quote, i am a 42-year-old legally blind single parent in sugarland, self-employed, working very hard to rear two great kids ages 15 and 13. i have a master's degree in education and work extremely hard to provide the stable life for my kids. in doing so, i have invested time and dollars in my own health care because the kids need me to be healthy. i lost my right eye a few years ago to complications from r.o.p., too much oxygen at birth, and my left eye is severely impaired with p

mr. olson: i oppose the motion to recommit. mr. marino: this bill is in the heart of the regulatory reform this nation needs and i cannot understate how desperately we need it. because after eight years of the administration's blowout, administrative state, what do we have? we have an economy that for eight straight years has failed to produce enough good, new full-time jobs to sustain growth and restore dignity. we have 92 million americans outside the work force, a level not seen since the carter years. have nearly $23 trillion of american wealth to be spent as washington bureaucrats demand through runaway regulation. $2 trillion. this is more money than the g.d.p. of all but eight countries in the world. we do not need a regulatory state that is that size. we need a regulatory system that is cut down to size. unless we ever forget, we need a regulatory system that never again allows a runaway executive branch to do what the obama administration did to use a pen and a phone to take the run-around congress and force job crushing p

mr. olson: mr. speaker, as you ow everything is bigger in texas, but as anyone knows, the biggest, most grand thing is the heart of a texan. the best example of these arts are my two dear friends - kevin and trish kline. their huge texas hearts want to end childhood cancer so they started a foundation. they have raised over $1 million in less than 10 years to stop this cancer. they do this for kids like anna. when she was 14, she was told she had acute leukemia. he wondered, will i still be taken away? who will take care of my younger brother? am i going to die? but after nearly a decade of fear, with stonedrop's help, anna announced, cancer -- been there, beat that. god bless anna, stonedrop, kevin and trish. yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. for what purpose does the gentleman from california seek recognition? >> i seek unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman i

mr. olson: the craziest thing in the whole world according to president bill clinton, on november 8, we were ordered to repeal obamacare. and that's just what we're going to do. fear mongers on the other side are telling americans they will lose their health insurance like that. that will only happen if we follow their example and pass a bill that becomes law before we have the time to read it. house republicans will take time o listen to doctors, nurses, hospitals, patients, the american people. give them the health care they deserve at lower cost, higher quality work the doctor of their choice. we have our orders. it's time to go to work. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the time of the gentleman has expired. for what purpose does the gentlelady from california seek recognition? the gentlelady is recognized for one minute. >> thank you, mr. speaker. the affordable care act is not a matter of politics. it's a matter of the life or death for the people back home. in the san diego region,

mr. tillerson. we just have to wait and see. that's sort of the lay of the land as far as we understand it right now. host: a few more callers for bradley olson. jay is from indianapolis, indiana. jay, go ahead. caller: hi, good morning. thank you for c-span. i have a few thoughts i'm going to try to get them together clearly here. i think my concern was mr. tillerson, and so many of the other cabinet choices is that they come from a business background which i understand as a stockholder to have no guiding principle or ethical component. the c.e.o.'s only imperative really is to make money for the stockholders. and what mr. tillerson is going to be facing now is so much bigger than that. what will he do about annexation of crime eea and ukraine if we have financial ties and if our only guiding principle is getting along with russia? host: we'll have to leave it there. we're out of time. bradley olson from "the wall street journal," i you have the final word. guest: that's something people have asked questions about and will come in the hearings. how will you focus after coming from a place with money and getting deals to environmental issues

i have a letter from solicitor general ted olson in support of senator sessions -- stuart: i'm sorry, we just missed the comment from mressions. he was asked about vetting. he replied that he, yes, of course, vetting but not a blanket stoppage on one particular religion coming into the country. i think that was the gist of what he had to say, but the question was raised. the questioning will continue. the market shows a 55-point gain. we've gone up steadily throughout the court of this -- the course of this hearing. the judge is laughing -- >> you want that 20,000 mark to be hit on your show, and i don't blame you. [laughter] stuart: i'm trying to connect, i'm trying to connect -- >> desperately. [laughter] stuart: no, no, no, i am not a cheerleader. i'm trying to connect the likelihood of mr. sessions' confirmation as attorney general and all of the other trump picks for the cabinet, the likelihood that he'll get his team in place is good news for the market because that means trump policies will be put in place, and we're up 55 points. lizzie? >> well, senator leahy has been grilling mr. sessions on whether he would
