Just because we live in rural areas doesn't mean that high quality healthcare should be readily accessible to us. I have very, very few hard lines when it comes to these issues that we talk about regularly. One of them is this, that I've been crystal clear with the leadership in the House here. If during this budget reconciliation process they're going to try to cut rural healthcare, I am not on board.

I will not be on board with a package that if anybody is trying to cut any type of rural healthcare, it's just not going to happen on my walk.

This is the problem with the VA. This is the increase in bureaucrats. These are the doctors. It's almost a flat line. And then we have an increase with the veterans because of the PAC Act. So when we are going to cut the VA, and I hope you do, sir, this is where you need to make the cut, right there in this line, right there, sir. Mr. Secretary, if you cut this, then this... Okay, and then he doesn't want women in the armed forces. Here, play this clip.

As far as standards, the standard is the minimum. That is the minimum level of performance that someone will reach or they're not qualified for the job. The NFL does not have a standard for females. If you're a lady and you want to join the NFL, go try out for the team. How many women play in the NFL? Anybody? The answer is zero. Why is there an NBA and a WNBA? Why? Because they acknowledge biology.

So we can have as many whiz-bang, high-tech things available, but at the end of the day, to win a war, you need someone to go in a room and beat someone to death with their hands. Finally, he calls Donald Trump God. Let's play it.
