go there are some things you simply cannot control and the really important things you can like keeping your family healthily managing finances preparing for retirement it's all here in this booklet from the american diabetes association because we want everyone to be healthy and happy warrior free copy of planning for a healthy life now to help manage the things you can't control why i'm someone who cares about smiles i'm an orthodontist a specialist across the punjab i received two to three years of specialized education beyond dental school i'm the maker of healthy smile on immigration ah that's a subject that is in fact very important during this election as you pointed out our government is attacking our states the sheriff in arizona is being sued by the department of justice department of justice is suing the state of arizona that the ninth circuit court of appeals has allowed thirteen other countries or something one thousand other countries to have a say in what we do with our immigration i'm getting to the point now i think my frustration is is being mirrored by many many many millions of people in this country who are tired of worrying about as you pointed out a you have areas in the country where they put up signs saying don't be here because of the fact that it's dangerous that's not how we protect our citizens that's not how we ever protect our citizens and this administration seems to be trying to help the drug lords on the other side and that's frustrating as anything and i think that frustration will be coming out promoting the common defense and not the common surrender and when we are surrendering our land and surrendering our borders and not taking a stand the question is why would people do that in some case the accusation is it's done for political purposes trying to get  votes but it shouldn't be that way and actually when you survey people who are here as legal immigrants they are to a large extent against the weaknesses that have been put forth in washington with regard to border security they want people to do what they did and follow the legal path to citizenship without shortcuts to do all the things that have to be done to follow the laws to make sure that they have a clean background themselves to go through all those checks you know if i was talking to general once who was going to marry a woman from japan and he said it took two years to follow all the process to get her background check and his to make sure that all was well and yet someone else in this country could have that done automatically under some of the bills that are coming up well let's take a look at one of these bills and this is the one that i think is more irritating than anything that i've ever seen i will start off with the the first red lined area here they reckon retroactively repeal the federal ban on in state tuition for illegal aliens pretty incredible now if you know someone here wanted their to child to go to a state school somewhere else kentucky florida virginia whatever it is you have to pay an out of state tuition which can be quite a bit higher two or three sometimes double or sometimes even more the in state tuition and the parents who go in there maybe set up a temporary residence that state if they find out that that parent they did not really live there during a period of time charges could be brought against them  a fraudulent because they are taking taxpayers money from that state that to support that university what is interesting if this bill actually sets illegal aliens at a higher standard than u s citizens such as say you can automatically get in state tuition which means all the money in those states say in pennsylvania penn state tuition in states versus out of state that we as taxpayers would end up subsidizing people who not only are not citizens of pennsylvania but not even citizens of the united states wherever they may come from and this is another thing that has right the department or the h s is to award amnesty to every illegal alien claiming to meet minimum they claim to meet the minimum wage and we have to give it to them the president of the united states for the last five years now these are illegals a us high school diploma or a ged or admitted to the united states institute of higher learning and be good moral character with no more than two misdemeanor convictions that's incredible not my kids have missed a meal or convictions i don't know i don't know why they would be considered not good moral character but these people would one think of a misdemeanor it's not like a traffic ticket traffic ticket is not a misdemeanor or a parking ticket it's not a misdemeanor misdemeanors get into the or some other crimes misdemeanor and could actually involve prison time months or even your so and large fines as a misdemeanor to allow two of those is another area that gets people justifiably outrage for that including if someone is involved with gang activity as long as they say i'm not going to be in that gang anymore even though that they've been associate with a group for a period of time that has been involved in the other things that could be no one's ever proven they've been directly involved but they could be  as a misdemeanor crime in selling drugs in other assaults or other gang activities which may be misdemeanors i don't think that those people should be anywhere near the line for getting amnesty if they have any misdemeanors at all  that's an important point to have in there but the other part this has to with regard to over the last four years in high school diploma well if you go to high school diplomas that mean they've been here we've been paying for their education to them paying for the college education as well as some other advanced degree and we're going to go with that but these are these are all the concerns of people have of why them and why not us why why the outsiders not the taxpayer this isn't fortunately and tragically miss portrayed by some as being an issue of prejudice and bigotry it is not that it is absolutely not that and i think that those who try and play that victim and game or are trying to just sidestep the actual basis of the argument and try to demonize the who are saying wait a minute i'm a citizen i have rights which supercede those of someone who is just visiting here legally or illegally i have a friend in texas who sent me a e mail of a newspaper article out of the i maybe it was used in texas newspaper i forget which one it was but what it stated that they were questioning an illegal leaving arizona because it was coming what he said a hostile environment for illegals and they asked him where you're going and he said the pennsylvania because it's more open to the legals and that can be demonstrated through our own budget because three years ago the budget in pennsylvania for education hospitalization incarceration of illegals in this commonwealth was approximately eight hundred million dollars per year that figure has jumped up according to the fair organization to one point three billion dollars in two years now that to me is just it's just the epitome of stupidity what  we have a state that's being known as the place that illegals can come and it's as representative murphy had on john mark o'mara had pointed out the last time he was here  the western side of the state did not get involved with too many illegals coming here because the systems were set up with the haitian boat people and everything else on the eastern side one of those those situations happen and those communities lang castor and scranton and philadelphia have a very large percentage of about five or six percent of their population which in some of those communities now are illegal but it's one of one of the next steps here and this is what the  mentioning that it takes two years for that couple to in fact get the the wife's application to become a citizen or to come to this country illegals get pushed to the front of the and that's an important issue that many times you'll hear elected officials put in these bills we use the idea of the back of the line comment that they didn't get to bypass anything else and it's very careful how we we have to review the wording this very carefully to see if there are any loopholes i don't think there should be any shortcuts or loopholes in any exceptions at all if someone has been here and we're going to find a way of cleaning up our visa system and say that you follow the rules as everybody else has been in place for a long time if you want to to get the a citizen do that but by creating a separate track here and say you can't be deported it's ok if you have misdemeanors it's comes with one cow we can track that one cow and the food they eat and everything else somewhere in this country when it comes to illegals we have millions of them we can't find them sir we don't know where they are and what happens if someone's applying in twelve or fifteen million however many there are as they're applying for citizenship it's up to the federal government to find out how many misdemeanors you have how long have you been here what are the benefits of you had do you have any criminal background the in your country of origin or here and if the federal government cannot prove that to find any i understand a lot of people will have given aliases given false or secure numbers so there may not be anything to track in these cases but the burden of proof is on the u s as opposed to the burden of proof  the citizen to show that they have been in good standing that are so it's another one of these things that i i worry quite frankly if this bill is attempted during a lame duck session let's say that the majority of the house changed let's say that majority in the in the senate  reduced if they attempt this how will the american people react nationwide and i think they're very very worried about that congress will try to push this despite the will the american people saying don't you dare do this you have hearings discuss this listen what people are saying but let's not bypass the laws that are in place and skirt that provide special status to non citizens in this case are illegal aliens here so i'm worried how that reaction might be  and i suspect if you've seen demonstrations before in washington it will pale compared to a number people show up to say don't pass this bill well and i think what the sort of cherry on the top one last week two weeks ago the president's aunt from kenya came on and was talking to somebody and headed videotaped it was one of the news media that in fact the united states had a responsibility to take care of her and to in fact pay for her now we paid for disability we paid for her housing we paid for her medical care and now she's telling us and now the the course federal judges who rolled finally that she was allowed to be in this country  she now came on and said we had the responsibility of taking care of her now to me that that's that's the epitome of of stupidity i had a constituent who laid it out this way he said this three kinds of people here in the u s those who can and for those the federal government role is to provide a mechanism by which people can engage in jobs and their own lives playing by equal rules you know so no one gets you know the rules and regulations so people can develop their business doing things in a fair manner those who can't and they work hard and they reap the benefits of that or if they don't they don't have the same benefits and those who can't those who have some no fault of their own me of some severe disability or something where we provide assistance educational assistance perhaps some health assistance or a special training to help those who have some disabilities and i think our hearts go out to them so ok we'll help those who can't but just because they can't in one area doesn't mean they can't another so we help them out for those problems they advance and others and the third category are those who won't and what this gentleman was saying to me is when you have someone who won't but demanding that you pay his way because he refuses to do other things work but has found ways to game the system we need to enforce the laws with regard to the fraud and abuse that takes place in a medicaid system or welfare system or other systems quite frankly are people trying to play the game well i just saw in the news last week that twenty people from one of the old russian states and in fact built the system for one hundred million dollars the medicaid or medicare system in california and but it had tentacles all the way across the country it wasn't just there but this is where federal government is not good at enforcing its own rules and so when people say let the government run things the medicaid medicare system in places that are ripe with abuse look at how the stimulus bill provides this two hundred fifty dollar bonus to senior citizens instead of providing a fix to the cost of living adjustment for social security they said let's just give everybody a check for two hundred fifty only to find out the thousands of people receive checks who are in prisons or dead and the problem with that one of many problems that bill is that nobody had a chance to read it noted that there was no mechanism for recovery of money that was sent out to illegal illegally so all those felons were getting there so security check for two hundred fifty dollars or all those deceased so security recipients getting their checks the federal government can't do a thing about it it's gone money that's and one of the one of the really sad things about the there are no no no america limits because this there are i mean is not there have been seven amnesty bills since one thousand nine hundred and that's what people don't understand ronald reagan pushed an amnesty bill clinton pushed for five of them george bush pushed a couple of them and the problem is they haul had limitations five hundred thousand i'm a million a million to this has no limitations so they can keep pouring over our borders being here for one day fall and get benefits and claim they've been here for five years because the burden of proof is on the federal government so you have been your choice and so it knows how many will come across the border in hopes of being part of this great american dream well needless to say we could do an entire year on this a lot of books have been written on it and it's just it's just so frustrating to anybody who pays taxes and that figure you know that there are some things that come up in this country in the last we have more poor people now than we ever had we're giving away more money than we ever had the budget is constant it's going down it's not above the the breakeven line we're tasking the people that make the money to give more we're asking for everybody who read to reach in their pocket so other people next topic we're going to discuss this card check and i'm going to let you go ahead and talk about that your position on it and your view on it right now yes ok my district is one that like some of the  discourse americas is pretty diverse it's not as if one party dominates seventy or eighty or ninety percent or some of the places do minus thirty seven percent republican little bit more than fifty percent democrat in the rest independents and also tens of thousands of labor union members in my district they like the the cross allegheny washed westmoreland beaver county suburbs places to live and some of post industrial areas what they said on this issue of being able to organize a labor union keep in mind if non federal employees think about seven six or seven percent  actually in labor unions what they explain is the reason so few are in labor unions its labor speaking is that the rules are stacked against organizing some other say well the rules so few people are in because people don't want to be in the us either way that's up to the people who work there to decide not on anybody else to impose on them but what they've said is the system of it's in place is a long period of time before the people within that workplace get an opportunity to vote on whether or not they want to be represented in a labor union and during that time their claim is that employers will bully employees by transferring them give them late hours spend a lot of time with them in rooms educating them on issues and whatever now employers come back and say the unions bully them by intimidating employees and so each side is making these claims and counterclaims which is basically saying now in either case it's illegal to intimidate apple employees on this labor is asked for an opportunity to do this without a vote in simply say if an employee wants to be part of a union they could sign a card declaring their member of that union and when it reaches a point of fifty percent plus one that would be a recognized labor union and yes a back to be honest i don't want to skirt this back in two thousand and seven there was a vote on this and i did vote for it now several senators democrats also said they would not vote for this unless the secret ballot was returned so the new bill being crafted would have had a secret ballot return and that took care of a lot of people's concerns about this bill however since then particularly with the election of  raise questions with me on these issues i'm one of the find an office to try and please everybody please nobody and i have had situations where i get indorsed by some labor groups not all i can do or spy chambers of commerce some newspapers were other ones you know some groups as diverse as the humane society and and the groups out there are all over the place but all recognize the internet one hundred percent record and and but in any case but it's always diverse opinions and that's what happens if one chooses to represent their district by district versus mine it's funny that you say that is because i pulled up that and i saw that the organizations that support you are very diverse and that's something that i found not only in arresting but i felt pretty good about i have a problem with judges that are only held the one standard if you're on a version issue or you know you can be a judge and fair not if you don't believe that you can't be i have a problem with that because the fact that it really doesn't get to the issue of governance against an issue of that one one something the campaign for working families give you one hundred percent rating associated with a sin once again gives you one hundred percent the american security council foundation gave you one hundred percent of gun owners give you a minus i don't know what their what i want our issue was with that but but anyhow i said the federally employed women give you a sixty percent rate but you know i like that idea i like to see that a person is being looked at by a number of organizations for the purpose and i might add on those scorecards  those report cards they go in a couple ways one it may have some votes that actually occurred sometimes there was a procedural vote which is not actually a vote on a bill but it's allowing or not allowing amendment to move forward and sometimes it's whether or not you have co sponsored a bill  and what they'll do then it will score all these things equally so for example on issues of trade i was the republican leader in a very very important bill that works to stop china's illegal trade practice of manipulating currency so that they always have a sixty twenty this is the topic of their discussion in south korea next month and it's had an impact around the world when i had a news conference on this universe electric down the road here with joel ross from from peter's township held this press conference and not a single pittsburgh television station showed up there but they had film crews from from japan to come in this thing and from some around the world of you know the financial times the wall street journal new york times all written this issue but my point is is that different organizations are out there so what i still trying to is what is for my district and said i've had about three hundred fourteen town hall meetings or large group meetings or small group meetings since jan you're going on and i think you're a pretty good idea of what people in this district want and just continue to try and represent them and not necessarily any of those individual groups well you brought up the individual groups and this is totally off off this case right now but whenever i look at the contributors for different congressman yours is all over the place your car you have contributed as you said some unions from the hospital systems and things like that but one of our look at that mark critz is and if we can show up on the screen ninety percent of his are from unions ninety percent of the money that he gets is from unions and the the screen you see on on here will demonstrate that we wonder how he's going to vote i have a pretty good idea and that's just the top of it i said the top ranked twenty groups organizations that in fact do support him and that's that's a concern for me whenever we get so much in bed with one organization now according to the a f l see i only need or he has just come out yesterday i believe it was and said groups you know i don't represent i don't see people making campaign donations to me based upon i adhere to their agenda but i'm indorsing their agenda because many times i've disagreements with some of these groups too but it's more or less do they see me as a person who is a leader or is taking a reasonable stance on these issues too and so even among hospitals because i'm been a health care provider all my professional career we don't agree on issues and all of them in terms of the role they should play and health care certainly issues that i support such as you should be able to purchase insurance across state lines and join groups and hospitals have to take much more responsibility for reducing costs among them the high rates of infections of kill one hundred thousand people costs fifty thousand dollars to fifty billion dollars a year in this country i put a lot of pressure on hospice they have to report those so that anybody who ever attempts to go in that hospital can look online and see what's infection rate this house but what's the quality rate within the possible people should know that you oftentimes find more about a toaster you're buying we read consumer reports and you can't get the same information  hospital about to do open heart surgery on you i want to see those results so it really is a matter of that i think it's a reflection that we try to be pretty diverse in how we look at things well needless to say these these hours always seem to go rapidly but i want to give you the next few minutes just those issues that you see coming up that are going to affect congress in the very near future well i see that the key issues really have to respond to the deficit and jobs and the close you know twined because some may see this thirteen have trillion dollar deficit which is record it's about ninety percent of our gross domestic product or the u s is about fourteen trillion dollars gross domestic product thirteen have trillion dollars debt we can't sustain this we're going to find ourselves like greek was just collapsing economically we do have a slide on that if you like the brain where we continue to have serious problems with are ones where how are we going to sustain a step we can't so what i see is fundamental differences are coming up in points of view is do we actually cut spending and i believe yes we have to cut spending we have to cut back perhaps the two thousand and eight levels before the stimulus bill when it we also have to say the unspent things with the stimulus bill you're not going to spend the tarp bill money is coming in what's happening in this administration every time banks pay back their loans did ministration find another way of spending it so we borrow a trillion dollars from china from the other countries half of our deficit owned by the countries and the set of saying ok the money is coming back just like you're paying back the loan pay it off they say oh boy money's in our hands again let's spend this as a very important  stand in any case they want to spend it and never pay it back taxpayers on the hook that the taxpayers are on the hook for forty thousand dollars for each us citizen or even worse twenty fifty thousand dollars for every american worker on the hook we can't sustain this now how do we deal with this some propose just let all the bush tax cuts expire and bring in four trillion dollars and then pay things off and that's a huge mistake because if you start taxing birth you know bring back the child tax rate make a lower marriage work savings death buying a house that has a big impact upon the economy right now there one of the reasons we have such low employment is businesses are holding back on hiring because they see all these taxes that are kind of come with health care tax on medical quitman medicare tax are going to be raised income taxes are going to raise employers can be fined by the thousands if they offer insurance or if they don't you'll be fined if you don't carry insurance you'd be fined if you have too much insurance the list goes on and on  t people say gee if we're going to be taxing band aids and wheelchairs and cough medicine and bed linens where does this end with all this comes growth of government i think we ought to cut back on taxes cut back on spending and get our economy back on track in the process that can be a big issue that i think can be looking at well needless to say i this all of these issues are not just important for this election but they are also important for the idea country sustainability for years to come and one of the things find out about you the other day is that you are now lieutenant commander that try to serve the navy reserves joined about a year a few months ago we've kept it quiet but what happens is there's a couple hundred thousand cases of post traumatic stress disorder we're dealing with or even more  psychologists work with them and i just saw that this is a skill set that i have to do that it's all want to volunteer basis you know get paid as a member of congress for doing it but i consider it a duty and responsibility to help serve them and provide what i can and certainly hopefully inspire other people to get out there and sign up so that these folks come back and get the care they need but that's it's good to know that there are people that are interested in the military you know as you pointed out my air force banner there after serving twenty years in the service coming back and seeing the voting for the people overseas is being messed around with them are going to justice you know there's there's things that make common sense to me and a lot of the things that this administration is doing i guess the scariest part my grandson was watching harry potter just morning and he looked at me and just before that we were watching the news and speaker of the hospitalising was on it and also my grandson looked up and saw  yes i think this would be one of the with what kept our jobs here and trade them away to china cap and trade is based upon the premise that you said it a level of c o two or other missions on power plants and you keep reducing that level so a coal fired power they really c o two but another part plant doesn't release any c o two because it doesn't make it so a nuclear power plant or someone else so basically this other power plant or factory or maybe they own force in the amazon they don't make anything but they can sell  that you heard it right they can sell something they don't have and i call them seinfeld credits because there's nothing there just like this i thought i was but nothing so they trade these nothings at the chicago mercantile exchange in new york mercantile exchange they trade them whoever pays the most for these nothings can then use these nothing to track it from there something's the trouble is that at the cost of your electric bill between that and increased cost of goods it's between about twelve hundred and two thousand dollars more a year per family and what we see happening with that is in fact even the authors of billick knowledge that a lot of factories in the us will close down because they are already not price competitive but they'll close down and move factories to china and india and other states countries that will not have cap and trade will not set limits on this and then and then those jobs come from there the goods come from there now those who wrote this bill said oh we'll just put tariffs on those goods coming over those won't stand tariffs stand when a country is involved with unfair trade practices like china dumping steel here china manipulating their currency china unfairly and illegally subsidizing but tariffs will not be place if you as a host country decide to tax an item so if we tack something in china does and they can sell it cheaper there's no way a tariff will stand and you can have huge trade wars and come from that from lease agreements and from loyalties you don't have to raise texan to be just dedicate about two and a half to three point seven trillion dollars in new untouched revenues it's like winning the lottery but use that to do the things we need to do we need to build cl coal power plants we need to have some guaranteed loan money to build nuclear power plants we need to have more alternative energy in renewable energy like like geothermal hydro hydro electric solar when we need to clean up our waterways so there's two centuries of pollution the still serious problems in the mississippi basin the great great lakes alone is a thirty billion dollars problem our bill dedicates towards it and what it says over a period twenty years we create about three million jobs in the process without raising taxes bar with china or buying from opec well i'm pleased to  let everybody know that whenever this came up for a vote you voted against the cap and various the speaker who's going to be joining you today congressman altmire also voted against it but our  that voted for it as did murtha and doyle and they voted for it knowing and that's what i can understand the effect it's going to have on union mines as going to be devastating you  interesting you see some groups now like the u n double united mine workers are recognizing we should be taking american innovation and technology to figure out how to clean up this incredible supply of coal we have there only part of the one hundred on the same day the new york times  it would take a million years before we figure out how to fly the wright brothers writing a diary we begin assembly today i think we can have the innovation for this and then you see other labor groups like the boilermakers and labor day they're praying with science as clean coal now let's use american innovation no i believe america could solve this this issue and we have two hundred fifty years with the coal i'd rather burn it cleanly than continue to buy opec oil in other countries that are not adhering at all to to a clean air standards and i think an argument here i think that it's  something that our technology whenever kennedy challenged us to go to the moon we were there in ten within ten years so it's something that in fact i think we do have the capability we have major research institutions pit carnegie  issues that in fact on affect our country for years to come and hopefully we've answered some questions hopefully some people have taken another look and we'll see what you've tried to do in congress what you're trying to do for our servicemen as well as
