7:03 pm
american comeback, monica seles, and i quote, president obama is redistributing everything that takes america great. not just our wealth, but always learn ella terry power, cultural appeal, borders and their exceptionalism. monica is one of the most brilliant and savvy young women of our day and most imprtantly, with her achievement, monica crowley is a great american patriarch. and now, it is my pleasure to introduce to all of you ms. monica crowley. [applause] >> what an introduction. i think i have to take you with
7:04 pm
me everywhere i go. that was very kind and very generous of you. catherine, thank you so much for hosting me tonight and it means the world to me that all of you came out tonight. i know how busy everybody's lives are. the fact he took some time out to celebrate my new book and work with me tonight means the world to me. so thank you. let me start with the title of my book, which as you know was called "what the (bleep) just happened?". i must say that my original working title for the book, the original title is thinking about calling it was 50 shades of obama. and then i thought better of it and i thought i'm going to go on with bill o'reilly and sean hannity and i can't picture them introducing the same monica kelley's new book save 50 shades
7:05 pm
of obama. then i saw it yelled james number and the fact that he as amazon and one, two, three and four. and then i thought maybe i should have stuck with 50 shades of obama. the real story of the title, which is a story i think we can all relate to on some levels. last summer i went to dinner in new york city and she and i were having a great time and we started talking about the last couple of years under president obama. we started going this long list of leftist insanity, in same constitutional abuse and social engineering he was engaging in and every sector, not just of the american economy, but american life. he must've spent a good 30
7:06 pm
minutes just bouncing off each other one thing after another from the big stuff like obamacare to the smaller things, though it arak obama there are no small thing, but things we haven't forgotten about, like the fact that holds the world exactly how many nuclear weapons we have. in case you're wondering, is 5113 and the book because he sent hillary clinton not to disclose that formerly top secret highly classified piece of information. so we were going through one thing after another and it was an exhausting, if not exhaustive list. and by the end, by 30 minutes into it i pushed back and said to her, what the bleep does happen, although i use a little more color for word and because i wanted it to be a family book,
7:07 pm
i decided to use the word leave and allow all of you to supply your own colorful word. it was cushiony than a we giggled at the time when i hear some on the ella rightly say what the bleep does happen, everybody kind of good posts. it's a serious question and i think it a question most americans have been asking since the fall of 2008 when the financial crisis hit and then it spread into a broader economic crisis. and then when president obama was elected in the process as i said, we have been subjected almost every single day to a piece of absolute insanity from this administration. so when i say what the bleep just have been, there's so much that goes into that question.
7:08 pm
what the bleep has happened to america? i was saying to someone the other day, i grew up in the 1970s and 1980 and some of you grew up in his decades as well or earlier or later and there was always an incredible sense of the optimist on and the music was happy, the culture was happy. there was problematical chair, but the overall narrative and story of america was at the end he felt it in your very vain that yes this country was exceptional and would allow you to do whatever he wanted to do. this country would not stop you from to remain in doing whatever you want to do. i knew i grew up with that sense of optimism. every day was a sunny day in america, even when pouring down rain.
7:09 pm
what we experienced over the last couple years has been as many grand past. it's been a robbery in large part by our own leadership of the sense of optimism. what the bleep does happen to a america in our constitution would just ravage on a daily basis. just look at what these done over the last two weeks. at some point had to put my manuscript to that. but i could keep fighting being a hyper achiever i am, i actually wrote two books instead of one. i produced a 600 page manuscript , which i had to get down to a readable size so i would put you out to slay. the reason it was so long to begin with because i was doing
7:10 pm
my research i would go like this, i forgot about that. it would wrote: the book and i say i forgot about that. that's too crazy to leave out. before i knew it i was over 600 pages of material from this administration alone, just in the last two years. what happens to our constitution? began, just look at what he's done in the last two weeks. his move on illegal immigration, violation of the constitution. by ovation of the rule of law, deciding unilaterally to pick and choose which side he's going to enforce and which one he will. that is not a constitutional republic. that's a banana republic. evoking privilege of the documents to protect his corrupt attorney general. another bit of constitutional abuse. he can't even keep up with all
7:11 pm
of that not as if the administration. so what the bleep happened to america? what happens to our constitution and our economy? what happens to the traditional rocket that of economic growth that america has always been so famous for. yes, even we experience a great depression or recession, we always knew they would be short and temporary amalie came back, we would be roaring back. not the case this time. why? what the bleep just happening. $16 trillion in debt. no nation on the face of the earth has never amassed that much data. data to gdp ratio in the united state. with the bleep? socialized medicine and the united states of america. what is that about?
7:12 pm
as i went about writing the book, it occurred to me and ronnie touched on this because this is one of the central arguments of the book. of course obama is redistributing wealth. home. he is a socialist. in fact, i have a section in the book called the skinny socialist is a big fat liar. and amazon with neil caruba last week and he said monica, come on. skinny socialist is a big fat liar. he said yes, tony was part of that is inaccurate. he is skinny. he goes on the secret river runs when the shell is not looking, but is not gaining any weight. he is a socialist and he is lied to the american people a day in and day out. prime example, i'll cut the deficit in half in my first term. we all know how that's turned
7:13 pm
out. he inherited a $450 billion annual deficit. is that enough? he has quadrupled it and every year he's been in office he has run between 1.3 and $1.7 trillion annual deficit. add 5 trillion in just five country and three years. it took president obama three or $65 trillion to the national debt. for the first 216 years of the republic, that's so much accrued. from george washington through the first 216 years of this republic that, george h. dubya bush and then obama added 5 trillion the bleep are benign. so as i was developing the central arguments, it occurred to me is not redistributing wealth, although he is
7:14 pm
absolutely doing that. the way he has done it is by attacking the four core pillars of the u.s. economy. the industrial base, financial site there, energy there and the health care sector. those are the four pillars that uphold the entire u.s. economy and they're all interrelated to everything else. from day one, he's very methodically and very deliberately went about taking down those pillars because they were built on the free-market principl of capitalism and free making them as massive redistributive schemes. he's been more successful in some areas than others. we will see what the supreme court does not than others. we will see what the supreme court does not than others. we will see what the supreme court does not a happen to think it's grossly unconstitutional. i think the court does it the same way. he went about it in a systematic way. think about it this way.
7:15 pm
any other american president would be flipping his lead over eight, nine, 10% unemployment because for any president, any politician really, unemployment and high unemployment rate is the most politically toxic element you can face. people are out of work, the entire economy falters, collapses. this man with eight, nine, 10% unemployment never broke a sweat. still doesn't break a sweat even as threatening with their reelection. you must ask yourself why? why is he not particularly worried about high unemployment? what is he not particularly worried about any make economic growth? the answer is, this who he is and this is what he has set out to do from the beginning. i said to bill o'reilly last
7:16 pm
week when i was launching the book, he said his economic policies have failed and this could cost him the election. i said yes, to normal americans and those who are suffering out here in the obama economy absolutely have failed in absolutely the redistributive was socialist policies come whatever you want to call it have failed. but see him, this has been a wild success. i call him the book i haven't name for the democrats. the modern democrat party. i called and the kooks. because i wanted to delineate between what we're dealing with here and maybe the democrat party euchre is. harry chairman, jfk. this is not your father's program for democratic party. this is a completely different ball of? and in the book i trace the rise
7:17 pm
of what i call the kooks to 1968 and my friend glenn beck i'm going to be on the show wednesday, but that has done great work and tracing it back to woodrow wilson, franklin roosevelt and yes they were progressive, socialist in a lot of ways. left wing -- the label doesn't even matter. that is true about them. but they weren't able to overtake their party and total until 1968. in 68, in my opinion was the last truly pro-american democrat presidential ticket in humphrey muskie heard after that, the kooks take over the democratic party. they take it over. and what you see is a lot of formerly democrat intellectuals life, jeane kirkpatrick, norman powe boreas, david horwood. you see them leave the democrat party because the kooks have
7:18 pm
taken it over. and what are good for them was their opposition to the vietnam war because the democrat intellectuals is responsib to mainstream democrats that were fighting against communism. this is a work to pull in the kooks didn't want to hear it and the kooks took over the party. and from that point they started nominating kook after kooks for the president be. walter mondale. you had al gore, john kerry and they could never win with the kooks. the only time the democrats could not put up a kooks they won. he was kooky in other ways. but when it came to ideology, he was a relatively mainstream democrat. he was a pragmatist. he was a political animal. he wanted to win and thrive in office more than anything else that he was going to compromise. he was head of the dlc, democratic leadership for a long
7:19 pm
time which is now extinct because there are no more moderates. so the democrats didn't put up a kooks they actually won, but the kooks wouldn't give up and said they continued to put up kook after kooks because we are a center-right nation. until they found, as they read in the book, the perfect marriage of man ambition and barack obama. a young, hip, biracial cool guy who invoked jfk with a glamorous life into beautiful young ildren. a guy who spoke with a silver tongue. they finally had their savior and they knew it. and he was as they call them in the book, the big on a. so in a bid to grab the brass ring and won the election in 2018 when to tom on the kook
7:20 pm
agenda and they understood they landed brief window of opportunity to get the redistribution scheme done. they had two years before the next cycle of elections in 2010. they weren't sure what would happen in 2010, so they moved with deliberate speed in the first two years than they had the majorities in congress. think about what they did. issue one day come into office, see the economy falling apart. american people are screaming for jobs. screaming for economic growth. help us. we're dying out here. home foreclosures. i'm losing my house. what do they do? obama said to nancy pelosi and harry recovered a stimulus bill. i don't care the senate. do it, give it to me. i'll find whatever you put in front of me. and so they did. the stimulus, nearly a trillion dollars was a political act. it is all about transfer payments to local communities and states to keep the
7:21 pm
government set your union rolls from being hemorrhaged, from laying off government workers. that is what the stimulus was about. in fact, for all the talk about infrastructure and how to build ruled an investor in america, to note the percentage was of the nearly trillion dollars into infrastructure, rose to bridges, 6%. 6%. the rest of the weekend, keeping the government payrolls doing. so they blow through trillion dollars for nothing. because it was a political act in an economic act, of course he didn't do anything for the economy. it did something for them politically, but nothing for the economy. stimulated nothing for government, which was exactly their point. so then once they do that, the first five weeks or so, six
7:22 pm
weeks they wash their hands of a common saying the work here on the economy is done. we'll let the stimulus work its magic and now we'll turn our attention to health care. again the american people screaming for jobs, really suffering home foreclosures, no economic growth and the kooks take the country off the cliff for the next 18 months on health care. and what has been driving me crazy as i see it learned people scratching their heads, going i don't understand. he's been all this time on health care. i don't get it. you look at the history of socialist countries, the very first he may do is lock down health care. they socialized health care. why? because of the government controls are health care, the governor government controls you. if the government as they say in the book is youryeball and air cannot tell fungus, the
7:23 pm
government controls you. that is why they did that first. that is why they spent so much time on it. at the same time the industrial base with the auto bailout, second by the way we would never get payback for about $23 billion from the auto bailout. forget it, write it out. you'll never see your money again. and then of course the energy dirt to the epa. they got it through the kook house, but they couldn't get it to the kooks on it because enough of the kook came from coal producing states like west virginia and put a block on it. so what does the constitutional abuse or do? goes to congress, goes through cpa and starts cracking down on small businesses, large business, business of every size with every imaginable regulation you can imagine from farm dust
7:24 pm
to the mountaintop coal removal, which federal judge has to overturn because it is so insane because there is so unconstitutional and then there's the one fossil fuel, which she has taken full for cities to bp oil spill off a massive pretext for that. so is redistribution is scheme into every major pillar of the economy. the point always wise to grab the redistribution, polls around the pillars to strangle the u.s. economy, to strangle a life of the free market system. entrepreneurship crush the spirit come up at all in the hands of the government, especially essentially a command government. he said enormous success in doing that. as i was writing that, it occurred to me that he's been doing so much more than just redistributing our wealth here at home.
7:25 pm
his scheme is much more profound and is much larger in scale. i read a lot about foreign policy with the brotherhood takeover, the parliament in e.j. i remember being in maclachlan group they won last year when mubarak was still in power and the american president was hoping to overthrow an american ally. i've never seen the maclachlan group, if this thing goes down, the muslim brotherhood is stepping him like that. and eleanor clift and some others laughed in my face. they said this is glorious democracy, monica. it's the glorious arab spring. the muslim brotherhood, the sworn enemy of the united states state of israel has been waiting eight years for this moment as i said that year and a half ago
7:26 pm
and they're not going to blow it. the same thing holds true for barack obama and the troops. they have been waiting decades to remake every aspect of the u.s. economy and they certainly were not going to blow it and they didn't. again, redistributing not just our wealth, but everything that makes america great. our economic energy, political strengths, military power, power orders after what he just did last week with the ilegal integration. that's a perfect example of what i'm talking about. on illegal immigration we talk about how it will help him politically, paths to amnesty, permanent democrat voting majority, which is also a big object is of the truth. but if you want to really dilute american exceptionalism, you
7:27 pm
open up the borders and flood the zone and that is what he has been doing, flooding the zone. that gets to my bigger theme about diluting the very exceptionalism. remember when he was asked and he said yeah, sure. by the way he set this abroad. he said yeah, sure. i believe in american exceptionalism to a british policeman exceptionalism in the way the greeks believed in greek exceptionalism. not the way an american president should be answering that question. and yet he came out of a very anti-american radical bill you growing up. its ideological mentor was frank marshall davis, who is one of the nation's most prominent communists in the 1950s. he studied under him from the time he was a little boy. so he has been steeped in this
7:28 pm
ideology, inserted this idea that it should be made in america should be taken down a notch or two or 10 in the world and he intended to do it. boy has he done it. some people have asked me about the socialist label and i get into a description of socialism in the book and what it really means, but i use the shorthand for government directed redistribution of them. he has gone about that research and methodical way that there is no other way to say is deliberate. it has been driving me crazy when i see smart people say cosh, cali, i don't get it. i don't understand why he won't compromise with the republicans are why he won't talk to the center of the oakland today. i don't get it. what is the thinking? not a big mystery here, guys. it's never been a big mystery.
7:29 pm
he's never made a big mystery of who is or what he believes and what is intended to do. levaquin folk from reverend al sharpton. every once in a while a member of the crime syndicate, notice the far left, both wore out the truth. reverend al sharpton went on msnbc in 2002 and i quote, it's absolutely true, there is no doubt that the american people overwhelmingly voted for socialism when they elected president obama. so the kooks see it, the kooks get a, but the goodhearted american people who elect this man didn't want to see a poor refuse to see it. humanness to stay you see in the polls i like him, i'm not sure about romney.
7:30 pm
he's played on that american willingness to believe the bias, certainly about their president, right? and he has used a bat. he's used it on my fridge that brilliantly. so, in a "what the (bleep) just happened?" i lay out the case and by the way i put together the entire obama domestic policy record with the entire foreign-policy record so you can see a dollop. i thought the evidence amassed in one place, it devastating. i read about egypt and the muslim brotherhood. i read about why president obama is celebrating today that the muslim brotherhood is taking over each at in a large part, the rest of the middle east. this is a man who helped to overthrow not one, but two solid american allies.
7:31 pm
hosting the broken egypt and moammar gadhafi in libya. was gadhafi a terrorist? absolutely. at the time, obama moved against omar gadhafi, he was one of our most solid allies, producing enormous amounts of intelligence on al qaeda and the muslim brotherhood, operate in libya and the broader middle east. of course that's taken out. meanwhile, regimes that are enemies of the united states like iran had nothing to say about the revolt by the iranian people against the terrorist regime in 2009. could not even spare a word of moral support. nevermind material poor. could not spare a word. same thing happened in syria. now the muslim brotherhood is preparing to take over in syria and watch, mark my words. i'll tell you what's going to happen. now that the brotherhood is at least quick to take over control in syria, you e president
7:32 pm
obama can the secretary of state clinton began to move in syria. maybe take military action through nato, and maybe have turkey initiates a nato response in syria, take out the charlotte sun and then guess what? the glorious travel as we have so romanticized in the west will take over. the glorious rebels had the muslim brotherhood. in egypt, libya and watch now in syria. the entire middle east is falling to the islamists and you have to read my book to find out why i argued the president is more than thrilled with the outcome. in fact, the muslim brotherhood read about six or eight weeks ago. incredible. is that all depressing? no, no, no. i don't know about you, the one of the things i wanted to get across in this book was the america mountainous and that that we have been so robbed of
7:33 pm
over the last few years. because i am just sick and tired of being sick and tired. i am sick and tired of having their leadership run this country down while they run a that's the point where we'll be so crippled we don't build a project american power anywhere in the world. and i'm just so tired of being depressed and full of despair and watching a live view, watching my friends, fellow americans be depressed and down trodden and ancient americana is lost and never get there again. too bad i say no. that is not what we are about here in america. that is not what the american people are about. we don't pack it in and get up and say zero well. it's fun while they lasted. it was a good time. you know, we produced madonna, lady qaeda. it was good for a while and now it's gone in a wealthy chinese
7:34 pm
will dominate and that's just the way it rolls. we are not fat. we are not the kind of people. we have been number one for a long time because of our very exceptionalism, because we are kind and generous people, because were not just a great power. we are a good power. we are not just a superpower appeared weary force for force for good in the world. and so i wrote the whole last section of the book, which is what the subtitle gets to come in the happy warrior's guide because i wanted to finish on a note of optimism and hopefulness about the united states that were not going to put up with anymore. they don't have to sit back and take it. we have the power to change it. i write in the book that it is often considered conventional wisdom that the founding fathers gave us three branches of government. executive, legislative god help
7:35 pm
us in judiciary ought oso got us out with obama. but i argue that the founding fathers gave us four branches of government and its going to be up to their fourth subbranch to turn this around and not for its branch is asked. what gives me hope about this and that that i'll open it up to questions is that mild, president nixon talked about the majority in 1969. i bet he meant the vast majority of normal americans who didn't get media coverage, weren't loud, just hard-working people who formed the heart and soul of this nation. what i did in this book is update the content. i call it the great silent majority to point out, also known as the tea party.
7:36 pm
but it's all the same they. it's the same theme. what gives me hope is every single time the american people at patty sheehan to go to the polls since barack obama was elected in 2008, they have chosen to reject the path of status and in senate socialism and move to try to get the country back on track towards this foundational to the bulls of government, fiscal responsibility and economic freedom. 2009, the first races after you select date, republicans in new jersey. new jersey [applause] in virginia 2010. massachusetts senate. ted kennedy of senate seat goes to republican scott brown. 2010 congressional races to
7:37 pm
republicans we controlled the house flips to republican. 2012 governor scott walker holds onto this seat. holds under his seat seat by a whopping seven points in a state where progressivism was founded. wisconsin in the state where government sector union were founded. the american people are speaking with their votes and it is a resounding rejection of obama's redistributionist admin status than. final point on that, we have to do this and not be lawyers. nobody less president bring in more than i do. i became a conservative because the nose down and develop in my political values can and was president and i remember being in fifth grade on the sixth and
7:38 pm
watching him on tv and thinking, yeah, what he's saying is absolutely right. of course i was so done at the time that i didn't know why he was right. images sent in a stinky with me. as a corrupt, high school and college i understood why he was right. nobody respects and admires president reagan more than i do. at a great chance to meet him. he was brilliant and adorable and funny and one of our best presidents. but reagan served 30 years ago. come what we need do now is take his positive embrace of conservative some day for the 21st century. same principles updated for the 21st century. look on the left, barack obama did this in 2008. this is how he was able to smash the clinton brand and smash the republican brand because he took a sense about msm. the electric smile, the idea of hope and change among which was
7:39 pm
just ambiguous enough that everyone kind of supply their own meaning to it to a lot of us had hope in change will be rid of george w. bush are what get this economy going again. our first black president. hope and change was his way of ringing optimism to his site, to his ideology. we all know it is a sick ideology really destroying the country, but he was able to sell it because he did it with a smile and a dead as a happy idea what this cause. you can never do at this time. his record is so bad is going to run a campaign against governor romney because he has no choice and is going to be cometely 100% negative. this gives governor romney and all abuzz a huge opening to be the happy warriors. we've got to understand happy
7:40 pm
warriors believed that america can be saved and that is worth saving and we can do the mission must have an it's going to be hard. i read about in this book is going to be hard and require sacrifice because the kooks will not go down without a fight. we have to persevere and it will be painful and branching. look at what is happening in western europe after decades of socialism. it is wrenching and it will be wrenching here. the key to the happy warrior is to understand the year in a at home. but the other key is to be happy to undertake the mission was joy in our heart and confidence in america and our journey to take her back. thank you so much. [applause]
7:41 pm
7:42 pm
romney has a layout water, bedazzle a good advisors around him. i've gotten to know a couple of them and a really smart people. but even if you are surrounded by smart people in a kind of a doofus of a candidate, you're not going to win. governor romney is incredibly brilliant. you see sometimes when he speaks it's really fast and sometimes i want to say, slow down, governor. you're talking so quickly, which is something i often do. everything he's talking so fast is because his brain is hurting so much faster than his mouth. he's incredibly brilliant. which by the way is a huge asset. if corsi which are present to be brilliant. but think of it this way. they can't come in the kooks and the obama campaign can not paint governor romney as a doofus.
7:43 pm
remember they try to paint reagan as a doofus, george w. bush, sarah palin, dan quayle. that is one thing they cannot do with governor romney. it wasn't true with everybody else either. but governor romney as someone who is so serious in tone and style and intellect and mission. they can't do that. the other thing that gives me hope. let me just finish. the other thing that encourages me about governor romney if he is the political killer. he is not john mccain, god love him. i respect john mccain so much. he's not bob dole and is not george h.w. bush. i love and respect them all. i voted for all of them. but when they were running, they ran sort of old tired campaigns. they read 20th century campaigns. mccain was incredibly passive.
7:44 pm
he was afraid to run against barack obama and it showed. they romney does not suffer from not at all. there is a bitter political killer on scene and barack obama. you have to send a political killer to go against any political killer and i'm telling you, governor romney wants this more than life itself. he can taste it. you can taste the presidency and he will run into everything he can to win this office. he's not afraid of barack obama for their team. the other thing that encourages me as the campaign now is starting to our community organized a community organizer. can't knock their sending buses now to respectfully heckle obama. david axelrod didn't know what to do. and asked about by asked about by the way is the king of community organizer in chicago. he was assertive master of
7:45 pm
modern-day astroturf, so he didn't know what to do. he argues to be able up a mirror to them. they don't know how to handle of the whole next. they don't know what to do. they fall apart. team romney is getting really good at it. and usability to take a yeti sighting today. if you watch previous debates of president obama, he's a master at this. he's brilliant. he's on point and it doesn't take any and allow the site to get point on him. so i am a lot more optimistic this time about the candidate and his ability to take it to the other side than i was last time. [applause] >> monica, thank you so much for being such a powerful role model to serve this media. you really tell it like it is to all of america and i'm really proud of you as a conservative
7:46 pm
woman. thank you so much. [applause] >> this is what i've been thinking about all afternoon so i wrote it down. if an tired of the muslim brotherhood in egypt possibly moving to syria and taken on there, taking power there. the muslim brotherhood is powerful in the united states. so i want to know what she thought about this. do you think sharia law will become popular in this country? father's vote? and how we warn about this? >> there's a lot of people doing extraordinary work. my great friend, frank gaffney. >> these are people doing heroic
7:47 pm
work because it is true that the muslim brotherhood and other sos have made very serious rosensweig government nhr society. remember, there's a couple different forms of jihads. we think of the burgeoning mediaone, which is the violent jihad. if al qaeda, hezbollah and hamas. she made the more serious side is the longer-range debt about robert spencer calls the south jihads and that is the muslim brotherhood and the other islamist organizations take it in under the radar and three demographics they get in, start demanding more and more rights and before you know what they start altering the constitution, laws come in the very fabric of your society. they've done it to great effect in western europe. i don't know if any of you up in the way to western europe. grape written, germany, france.
7:48 pm
it looks like what your cause your baby. and no longer looks like western europe. sovereign country between the e.u. and the influx of the muslim population double click sovereign countries anymore. the thread is here in the united states. the muslim brotherhood your right as i mentioned to top and be representatives were invited in to the white house. president wishes in a second term to make the mistaks and start doing the outreach to the muslim brotherhood in other islamist groups bringing them in. the fbi, cia, white house. the infiltration has been going on for quite a while this is very serious business. we need a president who's going to take this on and not worry about political correct this. one of the huge reasons for in this nice as against president bush and president obama come all those for say the different
7:49 pm
reasons, but the political correctness aspect has driven a lot of it. but, with this is not a war against islam is so on. we need a president and leadership here who can identify who is the enemy, was his friend and how are going to deal with it. bill o'reilly asked barack obama not this last super bowl, but the super bowl before when he was interviewing him at the white house. mr. president, is the muslim brotherhood a threat to the united states? the muslim brotherhood is a sworn enemy of the united states. there's a lot of talk of how they've renounced violence. that's his measure until they get power. not that they have power, to renounce violence thing is out to win out. if you're a christian in egypt you better pack your bags and ski down the lake now because this is curtains for you. so when o'reilly asked president about that question, he tapped danced. he didn't answer directly.
7:50 pm
of course the muslim brotherhood is a direct threat to the united states. my view of governor romney and effort in talk about this on several occasions is that even though he hasn't gone into it in a lot of detail, his instincts on this are absolutely right. we just have to hope -- but, be a gazillion times better than barack obama anyway in a million different ways. we have to hope what you say and he will try to root out root and branch, as the myths that have infected the federal government in so many ways. i mean, we see here in new york city with the best counterterrorism department apart from the fbi and cia. we have adhered to see how the left is trying to take that apart and groups like care, and associated front group for the muslim brotherhood, how they try to attack it. we need leadership in this country. think i purvey kelley in new york who has stood up to them.
7:51 pm
[applause] and cnet for what it is. we need a president from top-down, unafraid of political correct as an driven by the desire to protect and preserve the united state because this is a threat. this is a better constitution is not built for. it is funny every time i interviewed vice president cheney or secretary rumsfeld, people who are running this war, i asked them the same question over and over again. is this a threat? a religiously-based threat coming in under the radar seeking to destroy us from within? is our constitution bill for this? some of them could really answer it. they struggled with it. and don't think the enemy doesn't know it. so we need a president. my instinct is from his instincts on this are excellent. i hope he has the political courage to see it through.
7:52 pm
>> this president -- [inaudible] we had rich against poor, black against white, so many things. you have the luxury of being an assistance, by remember when he campaigned to bring us together with the slogan. he wasn't afraid to desert may be liberal type thing. i'm thinking of richard nixon, that such as the web program, which was criticized in some quarters. do you think governor romney can also bring us together? >> i do think he can bring us together and i think erd has. he does have the virtue of an important that i spent his entire presidency dividing us along class lines and re-signs, gender lines, the war on women. because the kooks need the division. they need americdivided in
7:53 pm
order to conquer us. the kooks need is pitted against each other in order to reenter their agenda. like i said they're quite successful in doing that. i think when it comes to governor romney is a conservative in most of us are conservatives in this room. is he our conservative dreamboat date for the big dance? no, probably not. but is he exactly the right man at exactly the right i'll make it an economic meltwn wherein? i think so. i really do think so. i can tell you he's a man of incredible professional and personal integrity. he said really hacky as i mentioned before and i really think in his hands america can come back because he is a creature of the air. he spent his whole life except for the one term in massachusetts in the air. as a turnaround artist, what more could we need this moment?
7:54 pm
we need a turnaround artist compared to barack obama who is quoted in my book has been a very brief time in the tyranny once referred to it as being quote, a spy behind enemy lines. that is what he thinks of the area. in order to turn it around you need someone who has lived and thrived in the pvate sector, created hundreds of thousands of jobs over the arc of his career. i do think romney can bring us together. it's tough when you're mainstream media so invested in the other side of the invested in promoting the other side and their candidates and ideas. it's really pretty disgusting when you have a major cable news network, not my own, which talk. a tape last week of the republican presidential nominee to make them look bad so they could all laugh at them. disgusting. but this is a breath against here. i do think that romney and this
7:55 pm
gets to my earlier point about him being a political killer. he doesn't much care. i also think he's got the center-right nation ready to go within. >> i have a two-part question. first of all, what do you think of the justice department's attempt to use the for the voter i.d.? and secondly, the contribution a lot and romney. >> yacht, voter i.d. i think it's disgusting the way the justice department has used that as a weapon in. it also tells me that the kooks cannot get elected without voter fraud. they can't get elected on the basis of their ideas or their principles or their policies. they can only get elected when
7:56 pm
dead bodies there voting, when the black panthers are stationed outside with bobby sticks to threaten other voters. they can't elect the next election, so those do everything possible to engage in voter fraud including ridiculous and outrageous justice department. the way they are touching it is raised, somehow suppressing minorities to vote is disgusting, especially hypocritical when if you want to enter a barack obama event or a justice department at which the black attorney general is speaking, you need to show, guess what? a photo i.d. and the idea that the most sacred part of our republic, the most sacred part of our democracy, voting into such wide spread makes me physically sick. there's a group called true devote, true devote.com.
7:57 pm
check them out because their little group, to try to do this nationwide, cracking down on voter fraud. what are government will not do at this regime would need to do ourselves. [applause] >> two quick questions fna. number one, if you were advising romney, would be yours election for vp? and number two, with the health care debate, it won't matter at 6:00 on thursday. do you think that indicates they're concerned about whatever they're going to do? >> let me answer the first one first. i think governor romney needs me. [applause] i think he needs a little bad aslan that ticket, right? seriously though, what do i know, but i think it's probably down to marco rubio, senator rubio from florida, who is
7:58 pm
dynamite, by the way. dynamite. in fact, i mentioned for the first time at fox about two weeks ago his book came out the same day my dad and this is the week before. so we said monica, and so happy to teach you. i said likewise. he said i the new book coming out. if the senator, it's coming out in the same to yours is. this is a disaster for me. he said monica, i think -- senator rubio calling for me right now. he sad i think your book might do a little better than mine. ii think the paper and funnier. i said i don't know about that, senator, but what i do know is you're going to be president of the united states. i'm not sure i'm going to be. so you trust me on that. he's young, dynamic, conservative, brilliant, handsome, got a beautiful
7:59 pm
family. he's latino and he can deliver florida. he's the whole package. the thing that might hold governor romney back and romney is a very cautious guy, even though he is a political killer. the only thing that might hold them back on rubio is even the rubio is fantastic with the media and knows how to ticket to the left flank him he hasn't been on the national space that long and there might be a little wary that not that he might blow up, but there might be the unscripted gap or maybe some renown for his theme. so i am not sure -- they're probably wane. the other one that everyone been talking about is rob portman. senator, governor of ohio, very intelligent guy has been vetted already by the senate because it is george w. bush's omb
