RECENTLY REPRESENTATIVE BLAKE FARENTHOLD FROM TEXAS WAS ON A
CONSERVATIVE RADIO STATION TALKING ABOUT SUSAN COLLINS AND
OTHER REPUBLICANS WHO REFUSED TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF A SENATE
VERSION OF A REPLACEMENT PLAN FOR THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT.
HE MADE A STATEMENT THAT WAS ALARMING, IF YOU DON'T
MEMBER WHAT THAT WAS, TAKE A LISTEN.
>>THE FACT THAT THE SENATE DOESN'T HAVE THE COURAGE TO DO
SOME OF THE THINGS THAT EVERY REPUBLICAN IN THE SENATE
PROMISED TO DO IS REPUGNANT TO ME.
SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE
OPPOSED TO THIS, THERE ARE SOME FEMALE SENATORS FROM THE
NORTHEAST, IF IT WAS A GUY FROM SOUTH TEXAS I MIGHT ASK HIM TO
STEP OUTSIDE AND SETTLE THIS AARON BURR STYLE.
>>HE'S REFERRING TO SHOOTING SOMEONE FOR NOT VOTING IN FAVOR
OF THE SENATE VERSION OF THE RELATION PLAN.
SUSAN COLLINS DID
HEAR ABOUT THIS, AND DURING THE END OF A SENATE SUBCOMMITTEE
HEARING, UNFORTUNATELY, OR FORTUNATELY, HER MIC WAS HOT,
SHE DIDN'T REALIZE, AND SHE ENGAGED IN A CONVERSATION WITH
JACK REED.
HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE CONVERSATION, IT'S
BOTH AWESOME -- IT'S JUST AWESOME.
>>DID YOU SEE THE ONE WHO CHALLENGED ME TO A DUEL?
>>YOU KNOW I HE CHALLENGED YOU?
BECAUSE YOU COULD BE THE SHIT
OUT OF THEM.
>>HE'S SO UNATTRACTIVE, IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
DID YOU SEE THE
PICTURE OF HIM IN HIS PAJAMAS NEXT TO THIS MONEY, PLAYBOY
BUNNY?
>>I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE PLAY BY MONEY, YOU HEAR SENATOR
COLLINS MENTION IT WELL HER MICROPHONE IS HOT, YOU WANT TO
LOOK IT UP, HERE'S WHAT SHE WAS REFERRING TO.
HOW DID THIS
HAPPEN?
HOW DID ANYONE IN HIS PERSONAL LIFE ALLOW HIM TO DO
THIS?
ANYWAY, HE'S HAVING FUN, WHATEVER, THAT IS WHAT SHE WAS
REFERENCING.
ANOTHER COMPONENT OF THAT CONVERSATION THAT I
THOUGHT WAS INTERESTING IS THAT JACK REED WAS ALSO CRITICIZING
DONALD TRUMP PRETTY AGGRESSIVELY DURING HIS CONVERSATION WITH
SUSAN COLLINS, AND HE WAS COMFORTABLE DOING SO. AND
SENATOR COLLINS ESSENTIALLY AGREED WITH HIM.
THERE IS
DEFINITELY SOME DISSENT AMONG SOME REPUBLICAN SENATORS IN
REGARD TO DONALD TRUMP.
>>LET'S BREAK IT DOWN ONE BY ONE.
FIRST ON FARENTHOLD.
SHE
DID NOT SAY IT PUBLICLY, IF SHE HAD SAID HE IS UNBELIEVABLY
UNATTRACTIVE IN PUBLIC, YOU COULD SAY THAT'S NOT COOL,
THAT'S A TRUMPIAN THING TO DO, TALKING ABOUT SOMEONE'S LOOKS.
BUT SHE WAS JUST TALKING TO A COLLEAGUE AND PRESUMABLY A
FRIEND.
MY RULE IS YOU CAN SAY ANYTHING YOU WANT TO A FRIEND.
IT'S NOT OUR BUSINESS, IT'S THEIR BUSINESS.
THEY ARE
SENATORS AND IT HAPPENED TO GET PUBLIC, AND I HAPPEN TO LOVE IT.
AND LOOK, I LIVE IN A GLASS HOUSE, IF SOMEONE DIDN'T LIKE ME
AND I HAD AN OFF THE RECORD CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW
UNATTRACTIVE I WAS, THAT'S THEIR OPINION.
THAT'S FINE.
YOU CAN
SAY THAT ABOUT SOMEONE, PRIVATE OR PUBLIC, IF THEY THREATENED TO
SHOOT YOU.
ONE TRANSGRESSION IS FAR WORSE THAN THE OTHER.
SO
NOTHING BUT A COMPLETE PARDON AND GOD BLESS HER HEART ON THAT.
I THINK WHAT ANA IS POINTING OUT ABOUT THE TRUMP CONVERSATION IS
MORE RELEVANT.
THE FARENTHOLD CONVERSATION IS FUN EXCEPT THAT
HE'S A CONGRESSMAN AND HIS THREATENING VIOLENCE, AARON BURR
SHOT AND KILLED ALEXANDER HAMILTON IN THAT DUEL.
ONTO THE
TRUMP THING, JACK REED IS A DEMOCRATIC SENATOR, SO WHEN HE
SAYS, QUOTE, I THINK HE'S CRAZY, I DON'T SAY THAT LIGHTLY AND IS
KIND OF A GOOFY GUY -- HE'S SAYING I THINK HE'S LITERALLY
CLINICALLY INSANE, AND COLLINS, A REPUBLICAN SENATOR, SAYS, I'M
WORRIED.
WE HAVE A REPUBLICAN SENATOR WORRIED THAT THE
PRESIDENT HAS LOST HIS FRICKIN' MIND.
THEN SHE GOES ON TO SAY,
AGAIN A REPUBLICAN, I DON'T THINK HE KNOWS THERE IS A BUDGET
CONTROL ACT OR ANYTHING.
THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT WE'VE GOT TO
DO A BUDGET NEXT, WE HAVE TO RAISE THE DEBT CEILING, WE HAVE
ALL THESE THINGS TO TACKLE, AND THE REPUBLICAN SENATOR SAYS I
DON'T THINK HE KNOWS WHAT THE BUDGET CONTROL ACT IS.
I DON'T
THINK HE UNDERSTANDS ANYTHING ABOUT THE BUDGET.
SO BEHIND THE
SCENES AT LEAST SOME REPUBLICANS KNOW IT WAS A MADMAN IN CHARGE
AND HE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT,
NOTHING.
HE IS A MANCHILD.
IT'S ONE THING TO GET A REGULAR GUY
AS PRESIDENT, IT'S ANOTHER THING TO GET A GUY WHO CARES SO LITTLE
ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT HE DOESN'T BOTHER TO FIND OUT
HOW THE BUDGET WORKS.
>>FIRST LET ME SAY THAT SENATOR COLLINS HAS, IN A WAY, STOOD UP
TO DONALD TRUMP PUBLICLY IN REFUSING TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE
SENATE VERSION OF THE REPLACEMENT PLAN FOR THE
AFFORDABLE CARE ACT.
I GIVE HER A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF CREDIT IN
THAT REGARD.
BUT WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS, ARE SENATORS, ACTUALLY PLAYING THE ROLE THEY ARE
SUPPOSED TO PLAY IN THIS SYSTEM OF CHECKS AND BALANCES INSTEAD
OF PLAYING PARTY POLITICS AND PUBLIC WE SUPPORTING A PRESIDENT
YOU KNOW IS DAMAGING TO THE COUNTRY.
BE PART OF THAT SYSTEM
OF CHECKS AND BALANCES.
SPEAK OUT AGAINST WHAT HE'S DOING.
I
DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
AND I GET IT,
DONALD TRUMP THREATENS THEM, SOMETIMES TRANSPARENTLY AND
OPENLY.
BUT REGARDLESS, THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE INDIVIDUALS
WHO REPRESENT THEIR CONSTITUENTS AND THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE
VOTERS.
AND WE AREN'T SEEING REAL LEADERSHIP AND MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS, BY A LOT OF SENATORS FROM THE REPUBLICAN SIDE.
SPEAK
OUT, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
IF YOU ARE
CONCERNED BECAUSE YOU DON'T THINK THE PRESIDENT UNDERSTANDS
HOW GOVERNMENT WORKS OR HOW THESE POLICIES WORK, SPEAK OUT
ABOUT IT.
BECAUSE HE WON'T BE PRESIDENT FOREVER.
SO MOVING
FORWARD YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE YOUR VOTERS ARE EQUIPPED WITH
THE NECESSARY INFORMATION TO MAKE A SMART DECISION.
>>WHETHER HE'S CLINICALLY INSANE, HE IS SO UNBELIEVABLY
STUPID THAT HE DOESN'T KNOW THAT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS A
BUDGET, SHE IS WORRIED THAT HE DOESN'T. OR THAT HE IS SO
INDIFFERENT AS TO NOT FIGURE OUT HOW THE BUDGET PROCESS WORKS
WHEN HE'S THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
UNDER ANY OF
THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES, YOU'VE GOT A DUTY TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO
RAISE YOUR HAND, AS ANA IS SAYING, AND SAY I'M WORRIED.
IF
YOU ARE SAYING IT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE
PRESIDENT, I DON'T THINK HE HAS ANY IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON AND WE
ARE IN TROUBLE -- IF THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THE
BUDGET IS, AND WHAT DOES HE KNOW?
>>HE KNOWS HOW TO FIRE PEOPLE.
>>IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT ANY OF THOSE OPTIONS ARE, AND I THINK
IT'S TWO OUT OF THE THREE -- I DON'T THINK HE'S CRAZY, I THINK
HE'S MONSTROUSLY STUPID, HIS STUPIDITY IS WAY UNDERRATED, BUT
MOST IMPORTANTLY, COULDN'T CARE LESS.
WAIT, DO I MAKE MONEY FROM
THE BUDGET?
NO, THAT'S FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, I DON'T CARE.
LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT I MAKE MONEY FROM.
IT'S ALL ABOUT ME ME
ME.
THAT'S A DANGEROUS THING FOR THE PRESIDENT TO THINK.
