Obama's trade package barely advances in razor-thin House vote (Rules for the bill final vote Fri)

Rep Dave Brat (R) Virginia told us WHAT TO DO !


" GLENN: All right. So Friday is the day.
The vote happens TOMORROW.
And, Dave, what should people do?
Should we call our congressmen?

DAVE: Yeah.
Right.
Ask your congressmen to explain to you
what they know about it.

And if they don’t tell you anything,
say,
I don’t trust the current regime.
And I want A NO VOTE out of you.
I mean, that’s what —
the phone calls coming into my district are 21 against.
And I’m voting my constituents and my principles.
And in a year, if we sort this thing out and it becomes transparent and everything’s fine, I’m a free trader, I’ll vote yes.
But right now — Obamacare, right, it was so — it was going to lower costs.
Read the first sentence of Obamacare.
Right?
It will provide insurance to more people, and it will lower costs.
Well, it didn’t lower the costs.
Everybody has the check in the mail now.
You learn the hard way.
And you have a $5,000 deductible.
Oops.
We didn’t know that going in, in our talking points
And I’m worried the same thing can happen in this trade deal.
Oops.
There’s a little deal in there, and we missed it.
Well, that’s not good governance. "



"DAVE: ... But in this day and age, THE FIRST FEW WORDS ARE THE KEY.

We’ll GIVE TRADE AUTHORITY TO President Obama.
And that’s the — that’s the big asterisk.
So we’re going to give more authority to a president who has already done a run around us on executive amnesty, on the IRF, and the list just goes down and down and down.
Breaking promises on Obamacare, EPA overreach, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Some guys are in districts where trade is huge, and they’re representing their people, which is their job.
And so, you know, different representatives really do have a tough votes (Phoenix) at times.
But in my view, THERE'S TOO MANY NOSES IN THIS THING. "

Here's a link to THEBLAZE TV if you have a subscription.
Start at 02:34:35 and go thru to 02:48:45 .

Glenn Beck Radio Program 06-11-2015 ( 2:59:50 )

But the whole 3 hour show, especially with Rabbi Daniel Lapin from the American Alliance of Jews and Christians, is well worth your time.

Now that sentence IMMEDIATELY makes me AGAINST THE BILL:

We’ll GIVE TRADE AUTHORITY TO President Obama.

As long as THAT FACT is in the bill, I will NEVER be for it, and will ALWAYS BE AGAINST THAT BILL !
But let's look at what else he made clear.

" DAVE: ... Well, you guys probably covered the doc fix.
And on that thing, our leadership can go to Democrat leadership and find 300 votes, and it’s a done deal.
And worse than that,
our guys have dug into it. Mick Mulvaney and Jim Jordan have done great work on this thing.
And there are actually FIVE (5) HIGH HURDLES TO STOPPING THIS THING.
So basically if we vote yes
the best way to think about this thing is just a locomotive train.
Right?
If we hit go, that train is going forward, AND THERE'S NO STOPPING IT.
...
DAVE: ... It’s a living document.
The scariest part of it is that IT CREATES this Trans-Pacific Partnership Commission.
And that commission will likely HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO NOT ONLY CHANGE ITS MEMBERSHIP AND THE AGREEMENT ITSELF, BUT TO ISSUE REGULATIONS RELATING TO IMMIGRATION, ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY, CURRENCY POLICY, LABOR POLICY.
It’s an open-ended commission.
And that’s why I was using that locomotive analogy.
Once you start that train down the road, IN ORDER TO STOP IT YOU HAVE TO GO TO "NOs" IN ORDER TO STOP IT FROM
Ways and Means,
the Rules Committee,
Senate Finance,
and the House,
and the Senate.
SO THERE'S FIVE VOTES YOU NEED TO STOP IT.
So our conservative group, the Freedom Caucus, with Jim Jordan and all these guys, we’re trying to change the direction of that thing
so that any member can stop it. "

[who knows what evil?]

They were ALLOWED to vote no...all arranged in the smoke-filled room ‘out back’. They ALL work for ‘Team Satan’...all of them.

[Georgia Girl 2]

I totally agree. I think instead of 3 million sitting home it will be more like 6 million. I fully expect another 4 years of a Democrat. The Republicans are trading a presidency away for a permanent seat at the NWO world government table.

[GregoTX]

Oh no...

[bert]

that vote was for the rule

the bill is tomorrow

[Gator113]

Perhaps what these gutless wonders need to do is look outside and see millions of patriots carrying torches, pitchforks and with blood in their eyes.

[Clump]

Really sad what has happened to Cruz.
After seeing what happened to Tom Coburn I shouldn’t be too surprised.
These U.S. Senators don’t have a chance.

[ncalburt]

Sadly you may be right.

I will not vote fir Cruz or Walker or Rubio after thus treason.

Its is time to get Palin to run.

We have no other options now.

[Georgia Girl 2]

I agree. Those three are toast with me. Its starting to look like it won’t be too hard to pare this race down to about 3 people. All you have to do is count the ones that are agains’t TPP.

[WIBamian]

As a former Cruz supporter, I absolutely despise him now.

[WIBamian]

THANK YOU GARY PALMER!!!

Now my write-in for POTUS is Jeff Sessions.

I would also vote for Sara Palin, if she would run.

[Organic Panic]

Something everyone should hate. Republicans and conservatives should hate it because Obama supports it. Democrats and libs should hate it because Republicans support it. Everyone should hate it because it is top secret.

Most transparent administration EVAH!!!

[jwalsh07]

I will vote for Jeff Sessions as well though my vote means jackshyt since I live in Ct.

[tbw2]

Did Cruz vote in favor of TPP?

I’ll believe a conservative with a PHD in economics (Congressman Dave Brat) over some media pundits.
(Brat is against it.)

[Calpublican]

Old Cry Baby is really working to get this thing passed.he can’t seem to work on the issues we want addressed. All of a sudden he has a pair of balls and wants to get some work done. Just at the wrong time.

[Digger]

Boehner curses the brave conservatives. Why is this clown still majority leader?

Because those so-called conservatives in western Ohio vote this fool back into office.
