Rep. Mike Simpson talks TARP, Bennett, and Dept. of Energy after IPTV debate.

we're here with representing Mike sensei

mike who won the debate tonight the

people Idaho one debate tonight I think

debates are important so that people

know what candidates are running why

they're running and their views on

various issues so ultimately people

light over wonder that okay now your

challengers have hit you on your tart

boat obviously you're aware of what

happened in Utah yesterday was senator

bob Bennett does that concern you at all

about the political environment of Idaho

which is also ultra-conservative well

ultimately I know that majority of

people in Idaho opposed to the tarp

program that concerned I thought it was

absolutely necessary to do something to

free up the credit system in this

country we didn't do anything we were

going to have a collapse that would have

made as sometimes they told us it would

have made a great depression look like a

holiday so you know sometimes you have

to make up notes that's the way it is

but senator Bennet had also some

problems introduced a health care bill

that was as they tell me worse than

Obamacare of the past and some other

things so I think there was a lot of

things that

now obviously your challengers who have

not served in Congress and have been

through the experiences that you have

have faulted you again for that tart

phone do you think that if maybe they

had been privy to the information that

you had in the testimony by Geithner and

the Paulson's Paulson and Bernanke

pardon me jaffe that they may have made

change their opinions or may not change

their I don't know if they knew the

serious compressors on our economy and

maybe they had other ideas on how you

how you dealt with it I disagree with

those people who said just let him fail

because you know nobody wants to bail

out these bigwigs I'm at wall street

it's the family businesses out here that

would have gone down because they

wouldn't have at main / access to credit

movement and things like that that's

what really concern me and maybe they

had a different way to try to approach

it rather than just let it just let him

faith so I don't know if they would have

changed their mind had they had access

to that all I know is that there are

very conservative members of Congress

people like Paul Ryan and Dave Campbell

and some others that are probably the

most conservative people in our

conference that vote fourth and there

are people who are very conservative

that voted against it our delegation was

split senator Craig and I voted for it

time to air senator Crapo and Congress

Alioth time voted against so obviously a

tough vote sometimes you have to make

tough foots right one of the things

spent surprising me is how many members

of Congress and the Senate said to me it

really had to pass

Oh for it I'm not that kind of

politician if I think something has to

pass them that's understandable now want

your primary challenger chick house and

Kyle OC he said that you have voted

against the constitution about forty

fifty percent of time do you believe

that patently absurd that would mean

that I would have voted against the

constitution of three thousand seven

hundred and fifty times it is the

Constitution as he sees the reality is

is that I have never cast a vote that I

believe is unconstitutional I take the

oath of office that says I won't do that

and you know just because chick says

something as on Constitution doesn't

make it unconstitutional now he's

advocated for destroying or doing away

with the department of labor which many

people in Idaho Falls rely on jobs

department ranking I apologize how do

you think that message will resonate

with voters who depend on that

department for four well the moment of

energy does some pretty good things he

says private contractors can do their

private companies can do things better

but most of the money in the Department

of Energy is actually spent with private

contractors the people working at a site

pdh that's a private company doing a

research at the

now under the direction of the

Department of Energy ch2m Hill doing the

cleanup out there is a private company

and so the department of energy

contracts with private companies to do

the work and doing away with the

Department of Energy I assume he doesn't

want to do with all the work the

Department of Energy does he just

doesn't like the Department of Energy

right all right now last question for

you I know year because you get probably

kids have talked about repealing the

health care bill a lot of people say

repeal and replace if it were to be

replaced with something what would need

to be in a replace bill or what would

you like to see happen in the health

care sector of this well as I said

during the late there are several things

that are smaller steps that I think we

could do and should do we should allow

individuals to buy insurance across

state lines if you want a competition

you got to be a lot allow individuals to

be able to deduct the cost of their

health care insurance from there from

the taxes just like a corporation camp

after when they provide it for their

employees you need to get rid of the

junk lawsuits so that defensive medicine

hasn't added cost on to the cost of

Madison I agree with part in the health

care bill that actually cast that would

allow an individual to stay on their

parent's insurance if they so choose a

site to allow until their age 26 and I'm

Tom with it to eliminate the

pre-existing conditions in the current

health care bill

with that so we need to repeal it and

then we place our with some things that

just make sense alrighty thank you for

your time thank you
