Newt Gingrich with Laura Ingraham

Laura Ingraham hosted Newt Gingrich.

Gingrich said if Obamacare is harmful to the country, why would any Republican fund it? He sees it as a constitutional issue.  Ingraham said another course would be a full delay and then a repeal which would have the Democrats own the issue.  Gingrich said politicians get too clever too often and that things should be changed decisively. He sees it as a dynamic process and that the GOP should go full bore on defunding.  

Ingraham compared the situation to immigration and Gingrich said the House would follow the Goodlatte approach, breaking the steps down.  

Gingrich said Chris Christie is a very strong governor of New Jersey, but the GOP needs a strong debate on foreign policy.  He cited the disruption al-Qaeda has created in the Muslim world.  He said he's a hawk and was for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, but that the execution was horrible.  He said the establishment will get more hysterical as Rand Paul and Ted Cruz ask important questions.  

 

Niger Innis with Laura Ingraham

Laura Ingraham hosted Niger Innis. 

Innis said there was a meeting with the Senate caucus with the Tea Party.  Senator Rubio said the first words out of his mouth were on his immigration stance which he stands by.  Ingraham asked why no one pressed him further on a controversial issue and said the Tea Party is livid about this.  Innis said there was a lot of back and forth with Senator McCain at the meeting.  Ingraham replied that Senator Rubio was elected due to hers and the Tea Party's efforts and that he's let them down.  Innis said his group spoke to the Senate caucus before the "Gang of 8" to let their views be known.

Innis said the prosecution blew the Trayvon Martin case.   

Mario Rafael Diaz-Balart with Laura Ingraham

Laura Ingraham hosted Mario Rafael Diaz-Balart, 26th District of Florida.

Diaz-Balart said the House is coming up with legislation that protects the border, to know the people who are here and who have left, to help our economy and to deal with the people that are still here.  He said basic principles must be addressed. 

Ingraham pointed out that there are so many other issues that need to be addressed and that immigration reform isn't a priority.  Diaz-Balart said that every legislation isn't perfect and that we should determine as a nation who should be here.  Ingraham responded that Obama can and will use executive orders to sabotage any border security enforcement.  

Diaz-Balart said the challenge is to come up with a way to force President Obama's hand to enforce immigration legislation.  

Diaz-Balart said it is ironic that Stevie Wonder and Jay-Z will boycott Florida over the Zimmerman verdict and "Stand your ground" laws, but will travel to Cuba, a total dictatorship.   

 

Rep. Kevin Brady with Laura Ingraham

Laura Ingraham hosted Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX), chairman of the House-Senate Joint Economic Committee, 

Brady said Speaker Boehner is not looking to the Senate immigration bill for guidance and that the results will depend on how strong and united the House is whether the two bodies go to conference or not.  Ingraham asked what purpose there would be in going to conference.  Brady replied that there isn't a lot of good faith between the House and Senate and that the House will stand up on principle.  Ingraham pointed out that immigration isn't a top issue among Americans and that the immigration bill will depress wages and jobs.  Brady said his constituents are concerned about border security and that immigrants should come through the front door.  He feels we will need more people to fill jobs and Ingrhaam countered that we have millions of Americans without jobs or who are underemployed.  

Brady is working on defunding Obamacare and agrees with Ingraham that this is a winning issue.  

Congressman Lou Barletta with Laura Ingraham

Barletta said he will tell House leadership that border security will help the American people and that there must be honesty on how this bill will harm the American worker. He is not sure if the House will put forth a bill.   

 

Bill Kristol with Laura Ingraham

As to the immigration bill, McCaughey said the rules on asylum seekers will be greatly loosened, that the group would get many appeals and that the Justice Department will pick up the tab.  She said the job of helping aliens will be outsourced to community organizations and that it is a repeat of the Obamacare push.  Basically the taxpayers will foot all this as laws will be skirted.  McCaughey declared this the end of the GOP if the bill is passed.  

Pat Buchanan with Laura Ingraham

Bushanan isn't sure if the immigration bill will pass and that it won't help the GOP.  He noted that the GOP has been scared into this bill.

Senator Mike Lee with Laura Ingraham

Laura Ingraham hosted Senator Mike Lee.

Lee said the immigration bill is too long and the amnesty element make this bill unacceptable.  He said an entry-exit biometrics system would be a good step.  He applauds people such as Senator Cornyn who are trying to make the bill better.

Lee said the calls he gets more calls against the bill and those who call for it such as the Chamber of Commerce haven't read the bill.  He said it's wrong that the immigration bill has to be comprehensive.  

Lee said he and Rubio hold some objectives in common such as border security, but still doesn't feel a comprehensive solution is viable.  Ingraham added she hasn't heard a cogent argument for how the bill is good for the middle class and noted some of the unions are against it.  

Lee objected to the creation of the bill behind closed doors.  He was stunned by the reasons for rejecting border security is that Congress can't be trusted on the issue.  

Lee finds it interesting that Susan Rice is being nominated National Security Advisor which is a post that doesn't need Senate confirmation.  

Lee said the IRS scandal is an indication that the federal government is out of control.

Ingraham blamed women for allowing this to happen.  Campos Duffy said there are so many boys without male role models in the home.  She assigns certain tasks to her children that are more gender appropriate.  She said she and her husband make a concerted effort to make sure their boys get a lot of dad time.
