Paul Ryan Vows To Use the Power of the Purse To Stop Obama

Wallace Well OK I ░░░░░░░░ that s the point ░░░░░░░░ is that you and ░░░░░░░░ Republican leaders said the ░░░░░░░░ thing about ObamaCare and ░░░░░░░░ of the changes he ░░░░░░░░ there You say the ░░░░░░░░ thing about the temporary ░░░░░░░░ for illegals Ryan Sure ░░░░░░░░ If he goes ahead ░░░░░░░░ does it can you ░░░░░░░░ him Ryan Look at ░░░░░░░░ There s two points ░░░░░░░░ would make on that ░░░░░░░░ one are these guys ░░░░░░░░ back on the battlefield ░░░░░░░░ mean shouldn t we ░░░░░░░░ more worried about our ░░░░░░░░ security than him keeping ░░░░░░░░ 2008 campaign promise Point ░░░░░░░░ two executive amnesty We ░░░░░░░░ t we he was ░░░░░░░░ doing something that we ░░░░░░░░ was unconstitutional because it ░░░░░░░░ And so what did ░░░░░░░░ do We found the ░░░░░░░░ way forward to prevent ░░░░░░░░ from happening which was ░░░░░░░░ border state governors who ░░░░░░░░ standing in courts went ░░░░░░░░ sued the administration And ░░░░░░░░ what he didn t ░░░░░░░░ the executive amnesty It ░░░░░░░░ not happening because we ░░░░░░░░ successful So what we ░░░░░░░░ do whenever he does ░░░░░░░░ of these actions is ░░░░░░░░ the best way forward ░░░░░░░░ can we can come ░░░░░░░░ with to get the ░░░░░░░░ result which is to ░░░░░░░░ him from doing it ░░░░░░░░ You keep talking about ░░░░░░░░ but there s obviously ░░░░░░░░ serious split within the ░░░░░░░░ of House Republicans It ░░░░░░░░ one of the reasons ░░░░░░░░ re now speaker because ░░░░░░░░ Boehner your predecessor was ░░░░░░░░ out And some of ░░░░░░░░ more hardline conservatives are ░░░░░░░░ that you and some ░░░░░░░░ the people before you ░░░░░░░░ Boehner have raised the ░░░░░░░░ limit have passed a ░░░░░░░░ and in effect lost ░░░░░░░░ leverage Which raises the ░░░░░░░░ when the budget runs ░░░░░░░░ next September are you ░░░░░░░░ to really wield the ░░░░░░░░ of the purse if ░░░░░░░░ it means shutting down ░░░░░░░░ government shutting it down ░░░░░░░░ push your policies Ryan ░░░░░░░░ what I think is ░░░░░░░░ important what is most ░░░░░░░░ is we actually have ░░░░░░░░ appropriations process that functions ░░░░░░░░ was really dysfunctional and ░░░░░░░░ are lots there s ░░░░░░░░ of blame to go ░░░░░░░░ was the fact that ░░░░░░░░ piled up all of ░░░░░░░░ appropriations which is supposed ░░░░░░░░ be broken up into ░░░░░░░░ pieces 12 bills into ░░░░░░░░ big omnibus bill I ░░░░░░░░ doing that So that ░░░░░░░░ why we re starting ░░░░░░░░ budget process a month ░░░░░░░░ a half ahead of ░░░░░░░░ this year having 12 ░░░░░░░░ bills so that we ░░░░░░░░ t have as you ░░░░░░░░ some big shutdown moment ░░░░░░░░ separate appropriation bills regular ░░░░░░░░ the way the founders ░░░░░░░░ it and the Senate ░░░░░░░░ going to follow suit ░░░░░░░░ that s what 2016 ░░░░░░░░ going to be about ░░░░░░░░ is using the power ░░░░░░░░ the purse more effectively ░░░░░░░░ Congress to work the ░░░░░░░░ it was supposed to ░░░░░░░░ working in the first ░░░░░░░░ and that s why ░░░░░░░░ re off to a ░░░░░░░░ good start do you ░░░░░░░░
