to intervene. and don't agree it was a 5-4 vote. floridian was miscounting. it was a bow to have. americans never thought an election as legitimate. and then flush presidency and the bad feelings that have come from an. monitoring the election. if there are any irregularities, business, front you can bet that this would go to court. we can only a few thousand votes away from john kerry challenging him on election results, and the could have watched the same process. the dean of american global scientists as we of the sloppy a selection systems of any industrialized democracy. that was true then minister now.
7:01 am
we still have time to take remedial steps will the election to minimize the sloppiness, incompetents, and from. from has distorted history in american life. it just like to be decent and animals college students. and live in new jersey, one of the most corrupt political machines ever. the men there for 40 years. what it @booktv? because of its wooden ones. in 1935 be honest about association, the do that is another day some 245 princeton, students to one of the election. the beat of five of them within the or the arrival. several others went to the mayor's office to protest. will you fellows go back, but if he ever get knocked cold will be
7:02 am
your own bed of black. they explained it involved animal spirits. until the layoff, but it was a pretty dull election. the jersey journal, where with the did give? some of them were looked upon the police station. somewhere stickum corners. the only way is with the militia . in truth the little bit, but they're still places in this country, texas, alabama, chicago , philadelphia win election from israel, the threat is ever-present, and to give you an exhibit will in philadelphia and many other citizens and more registered voters than there are adults over the age of 18
7:03 am
according to the u.s. census. because of a clue. what to me to put this will, there's simple steps. have they photo id to present at the polls and clean up absentee balloting. absentee ballots of the to a choice because you can register, applied for a ballot, then, and in many cases never have to present himself. kansas has been very good form. often require the you have a legitimate excuse to ask for an absentee ballot. they should make an effort to vote on election day. the few votes to early you have people voting before the last debate stiffeners. in addition, when you apply you
7:04 am
have to give them the last four digits of his social security number, and that has reduced from dramatically. we are told this is the other suppression. we're told this is a return to the jim crow laws. well, frankly 80 percent of americans support the total idea pools. the thomas is a high percentage for any issue, even high and another that your humble pie because people are estranged and some people. chieftains of hispanics and african-americans support photo id. in fact, rasmussen asked, they believe and for a is a serious issue? 63 percent of whites said yes and 64 percent of
7:05 am
african-americans said gm's. african americans in some places live where a machine controls the political left that the live under. frankly it allows the crime rates to skyrocket. the biggest victim of flow from is minority reformers and veterinarians were political machines control the destiny in the can't fight city of. the mayor of detroit who until recently was serving in public housing after conviction for crimes, he won his second term in part because of a flood of fraudulent ballots. the city clerk cluster job after that. abilene were asking for another florist, a town we could extend
7:06 am
free finlandia's to anyone. i believe it's a small number. in time this issue comes before the court the people the kind of fund 10% of people like eddies. it's a very small, tiny number. melson of in indiana and georgia , turnout has gone up with a minority in the overall turnout not just in the 2008 obama election but the midterm election. if there are people out there in light of a bloody let's cut the one. you can't participate in the mainstream american life of a melody. travel, check into tell, cash a check, antar government building, rent a video. he can hardly do anything.
7:07 am
instead the critics rather than try to help people get ideas simply yell racism further exacerbating the racial political tensions. chris dodd who crafted a bipartisan lecturer -- reform bill after the florida miltown was quoted as saying the goal of american law should be to make it easy to vote and hard to achieve. we are americans. we can do both. to civil rights. one is the right to never be prevented or intimidated from voting. we had a history in many states. poll tax, literacy test, bizarre registration hours. we passed the civil rights law to prevent that. the second city right not to
7:08 am
have your vote canceled up by someone who is an illegal alien, and died, voting twice, or someone who does not even exist. that to file its your sole rights. we can do both. now, an obstacle to this is to reference the previous speaker on fast and furious, the eric holder justice department. they claim there is no voter fraud america. the clinical want to poll taxes. eric holder himself said that. they are suing any state that they can sing their voter i.d. lot is unconstitutional even and has been up held by the supreme court. so where are we with the lyrical
7:09 am
the justice department? a complete stall. well, this is no accident. the president of the united states got his start with these issues. his first major political challenge chicago for barack obama was with a group called project vote, a voter registration effort that registered 135,000 people and illinois in '91 and '92. project vote was allied with and an affiliate of the acorn. how many of you have ever heard of acorn? the most notoriously corrupt the registration effort ever in american history. it 2008 it's estimated their registered 1 million people. we will still debating whether a majority of those for fraudulent or not. as you know, because of some videos that came out recently regarding, shall we say, the other scandals they ultimately dissolved and had to declare bankruptcy. many of its members have reform in and out during the
7:10 am
registration again. i call that a court under the mismanagement. acorn is back. but acorn day barack obama his political birth. he did such a good job running that the registration program that acorn made him their top trainer in chicago. in 1993, the first law that the democratic congress elected with bill clinton passed along was the motor voter law would set anyone in the country can register by filling a post card and it created severe restrictions on cleaning up of the rules, making sure that the rules are accurate. the republican governor of illinois challenge that law as an unfunded mandate. acorn hired a lawyer to challenge that in federal court. the lawyer they hired was poor,. barack obama won that case. it became the law of the land. forced upon states. they could not clean up the rolls for many years. barack obama, acorn's lawyer, is
7:11 am
now the president of the united states. how interested he think he is in making sure that his friends don't resort to old bat habits and old patterns of behavior? apparently not at all if you judge by the actions of the air called the justice department's. in conclusion, i don't want to go through 2010. we live in perilous times, both in foreign policy and domestic. the last thing this country needs is another dispute about who won the 2012 election. the last thing we need is for this country to be driven a par with allegations of by the corruption or incompetence in which we don't know who the present electives for weeks and when the president is sworn in, half the country is angry and bitter and perhaps is not even see that person as a legitimate. we can clean up the selection process, even starting now just by observing what goes on in the
7:12 am
election, making sure election officials are doing their job, by making sure they know someone is watching for voter fraud. activist groups. they're recruiting a to a billion people to observe the election process. we can make the election more honest. voter fraud is a law like shoplifting. if you simply put up signs and cameras and to a few basic common sense things 20- 20-30-40 percent of shoplifting goes away a because people will take a risk. a small risk deters a lot of people. the same thing with voter fraud. for too long it has been the perfect crime. well, let's make sure they can't let's make it easy to vote and hard to cheat. thank you. [applause] >> any questions? >> hello. the bynum from florida.
7:13 am
given their rick scott has been battling the justice department turned to get lists of people who have moved out of state. >> and non-citizens. >> and i just wanted to can get a sense for what is the body is going with try to clean up the voter rolls and florida? id think he's going to improve the voters some in florida? >> well, i have reported a lot of the florida situation. florida election officials say we don't have the budget to be investigators. if you register to vote, clammy are a citizen, there's no way to prevent another not. you can vote. but when nbc affiliate in one city, fort myers florida, one out of florida's 70-odd counties did an investigation. here is what they did. they went to the list of people and for buyers who had been called for jury duty and said i can't do it jury duty because and not a citizen. then they went to the voter registration list and discovered over 100 people and that one
7:14 am
county and said they were not citizens for jury duty but or registered and some of them were even voting and had for years. we finally caught some people. now, some people may have tried to get out of jury duty, but that is a small number. most of these people are talking, and those who are are saying, i made a mistake. i did not know. somebody told me i could register and vote begins on in the process of getting my citizenship a couple of years a month on the one. this is a potential problem. we do know the florida's voter registration rolls are rife with errors and outdated. the department of homeland security is under an obligation federal law to share with the state's their citizenship records. they have the most complete records of all. for months that just part refused to look for a have those records citing privacy reasons. i'm sorry. it's not someone's private
7:15 am
business select people not be able to know whether you're a citizen are not. you're either in this country legally or illegally. we have a right to know that. so florida went ahead and started eating the best records they had, the dmv driver's license records, and i'm sure there were a couple of mistakes, but the wanted to get people's attention. sure enough up obama administration finally relented and said it could have the records. it's like pulling teeth. they just ignore the law. and as floridian made some public relations mistakes, yes. they are not trying to deny the vote to anyone. they're trying to make sure the election is honest and has the confidence of the voters. the supreme court has said unanimously regarding an arizona id case, if people don't believe the elections are honest it will lose confidence in the process. voter turnout will go down, and our democracy will be undermined it is a fact of over 40 percent of americans are not confident that their ballots are counted
7:16 am
fully or accurately. that is dangerous for democracy, especially since so many other nations counterbalance far better and more effectively and honestly that some of our states to. mexico, was just had an election, being a perfect example. a national id card. the election process is clear, transparent. frankly, no one questioned it after it happened. >> hi. >> asking why so many americans don't vote. what you think that is? >> well, i would turn around the question. if you had a choice between everyone voting, even if they knew nothing about the issues of the candid it's and cared nothing but the issues of the candidates and people voting 60,
7:17 am
70 percent of them, which is traditionally our number, but they did know something about the election are the candid it's , which would prefer? >> the latter. >> i hope so. you know, there are some people who sincerely believe this track and out of a democracy is that as many people as possible votes even in some cases if they know nothing or even if it doesn't mean anything. i disagree. i believe we have an informed electorate and to strive for an even more informed electorate. the bottom line is, we are not a country that finds people if they don't vote like belgium or austria. i think that is ridiculous. if you don't want to vote, that's your right. as far as i'm concerned, you can still complain but not as much because it decided not to be part of the process. bottom line, people should vote, but people should also be informed. voting is a right that cause with responsibilities, including there's a possibility to know something about what to voting about. we don't prevent people, but i don't think we should go to
7:18 am
extraordinary efforts to encourage them to vote if they know nothing. >> which to you think is more prevalent in voter fraud? illegal immigrants voting or residents of chicago area's largest cemeteries? >> well, i believe that illegal aliens voting is a potential problem, but, perhaps, not the biggest problem. let's face it, if you are an illegal alien you probably want to avoid contact with any government agency. they also don't know how easy it is to do it. it's child's play to vote if you are not eligible to vote. but i think most of them stay awake. certainly in a close election, if someone is does the picking go to places were illegal aliens her date. you have all seen in front of walmart. you could come in theory, scoop them up and taken to a polling place and encourage them to vote. in wisconsin a few years ago the convicted apart at teapot park avenue eris.
7:19 am
his going to homeless people and saying, if he job and his van and go vote because you can register and vote the same date, will give you cigarettes. for a candidate who is anti tobacco i thought that was really rich. cemeteries in chicago, there is an old joke. to election workers going to the cemetery taking down names so that people can vote the next day. the need a name and all that. one of the election workers for the machine kicks over a tombstone. his friend gets very mad at him and says, now, don't you do that. those people as just as much a right to participate as you and i do. i disagree. no representation without respiration. the answer is, in chicago they still vote the more sophisticated way. a former city took to chicago, the number two man in the daley
7:20 am
machine was convicted of, shall we say, kraft. he got out and i interviewed in. how early on to discover this? we will come here is what happened. this is how it happens. i was in college and had a summer job with the city. it was a good paying job. every summer it was renewed. one summer there was a vote coming out. i voted absentee. there was one guy i've really, really hated. the next summer did not show up, did not given notice. i went to the local captain and said where's my summer job. he said, you know you're supposed to vote if you want to work for the machine. i voted. yes, we know. you're supposed to vote a straight ticket. >> i voted the straight ticket. >> but you forgot one. how did you know that? we have ways of knowing. they opened the ballot and to
7:21 am
track of who voted for whom, and if you did not vote the right way you did not get the job. that is the chicago way. the president, need not remind you, from chicago and was an active part in the daley machine yes. >> brand in the quarters. what are your thoughts about the original lan3 >> brand in the quarters. what are your thoughts about the original land requirements and the constitution and talks about returning to that? >> i'm sorry, the original? >> the land requirement to vote. >> in the united states constitution. >> wasn't that in there? >> can you send it to me? some states have property laws. some states have laws that said you had to own property. >> okay. state constitutions. >> well, you refer efforts into several friends in the u.s. constitution. was addition deal havnst >> had made at the question wire you asking jack. >> i know it may not be the united states constitution. >> of course we have evolved beyond that.
7:22 am
we also has slavery sanctions at the top of the american revolution. it was a blot on our record. a double even property >> iuirements and adult refer to restricting the franchise and the basis of race or sector gender. we have evolved as a society to society. >> as just a question about voter fraud and waste to help out. public. ♪ and w for those of us who had safety. people vote mostly democratic. do have a ways that we could help out? >> obviously not everyone is excited to go downtown to polling places on election day become especially since he made his some dirty looks to my but there are other things you can
7:23 am
do. you can help by with voter registration lists him sane exactly how many mistakes have been made it out today are. also a mess. marketers will now use voter registration lists. it will lose money. i think you can also help with absentee ballots could be. very sophisticated. a very close assembly election. you could vote per absentee. there will send an absentee ballot even if you're not say. you will always vote absentee. well, that list is public. in one very close to a legislative election when candid supporters were very clever. the listeners of p-vlic, so they went and get the list and discovered which belong to a
7:24 am
certain local party. the only do this for that political party. they fill the new voter registration cards and sentiment to the office for the elections. the affirmation of the car was identical to that on the card in the p-vlic record except the signature was an eligible scroll on the application. so this registration replace the original registration and the recoe fs. then the absentee clollot comes in and the $7 an hour minimum wage temporary. >> was selected this and make sure that the ballot as a pet system well, gee, this is a signatamere that does not come close. i left turn out. the threat of a 250 of these. it was found out by accident a few weeks later after the election had been certified. the candid whose supporters a dennis had one buy less than 200 votes. the election was stolen a from under them.
7:25 am
not by adding fraudulent votes but by subtract a legit%date votes. if someone had quizzed the officials and observe the process from afar that might have been able to uncover. there is a lot that you can do to make samere that the processs conducted in an honest and fair and open way. one more? thank you. >> i have a couple of questions. they are related. in maine we tried to pass some better idea was recenic.y but failed. students, there is no residency requirements to prove that your residence so students from other states can vote in our state elections. but there is nothing to say that they're not voting at home as well. how do you comclot that? and also, related, our secretary of state told the students that if they wanted to vote in oamer state that they could get driver's licenses and changed their aatioress and the
7:26 am
re a blicans are saying, you don't want them to do that because that will give them in state ti'tion and back taxes will go up to support our universisc. >> well, first of all, the question of institution i think that there should be a t%de when you have to be an actr residence before you qualify for in-state tuition for his the way to handle that. i want students to vote, but i only want to vote once in a place with actr let them both there. the parents live other status, spend all summehe maybe there. if you're voting twice amended think there was a case that is prd then this, we have to prosecute some of those people. we need to do more of that, you
7:27 am
will we uncd ther we don't to gt seriously. this happens. the former city clerk in charge of elections was indicted on voter fraud. the current election supe subisr in a florida county was invited -- indebted for voter fraud. he's the person in cha. wee of the elections. then the official in mississippi was sent to prison for voting for the names of 15 dead people often its officials to do this and we don't take it that seriouell,y as rigid. my view is with s%rdents of course we want you to vote, but there should be clear and fast rules that indicate where you actually are living. one last one? >> matt johnson, a resident of california, several absentee.
7:28 am
requires you to have photo id. what is the same people a stateo make it so hard to block of the voter i.d. laws. just a vote you have to show i h when they make your show i detested by simple medication frantic. >> i'm awill says astonished tht people like 35 years old up to show id to buy cigarettes or alcohol in some places. yet, we don't do it for voting which is so critical. it's bnot byarre. it makes me think that maybe something is happening behind the election camerve we don't kw about. they don't want that to stop because it and that is a political interest. it is bizarre that the same bureaucrats that impose data idealize and bsteding all these consumer products don't want that for the fundamental issue of voting. the s a valid interest of the state. thirsc states have some form of >> ii'rement.
7:29 am
a% of the american people support this. it strikes me as bnot byarre. youh now, rhode island, a democratic state with a demofatic legisla% rre passed it the other side the law. the sponsor was the only. that african-american speaker. voter fraud in the district constituents were complaining about and the machine was bstedg the election again. sometimes the biggest victims of this are minority people living in machine areas where the elections are constantly sell enough among the. >> thank you. [applause] >> the d.a. from washington universisc in st. louis where phe wor and d her way through college on the night shift testing 30 caliber ammunition.

[applause] >> thank you very much, and gofd morninose
7:31 am
there are a lot of gof 2d books about obama. different aspects of his career, but there was not one on a very important issue. that is why i wrote this one, no higher pteser. obam. they s more on the religious freedom. on october 31st 2008 clorack obam. they s said five days away from fundamentally transforming the united states. in 1w americans realize htes radical the was and what kind of transformation he planned. his goal was not religious spread the wealth. his goal is to transform america from one nation under god as we prou thiny procl im in our pledge of allegiance to a totally se dolar country where we are allowed to recognize no higher power than the federal goveousment, especverally the executive branch. when obama moved into the white
7:32 am
house the campaign of secularism had alreing thy been l id dtesn by dozens of lawsuits filed by the aclu and various o. weannot byations petitioning s a to use the first amendment to tear dtesn all crosses and monuments were pic%rres of the ten commandments that are visible to the p-vlic and to cut off the microphones of public-school students' thinking got in md thed into white house obama began his long ouries of words and actions to obama began his long series of words and action to regularize our country. he is trying to make a totally c secular nation. the goal was predictable when he
7:33 am
was campaigning in san francisco before you is elected. here are obama's words about religious people in the united states. he said, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who are not like them who are anti-immigrant as a way to explain their frustrations. obama looks down on religious people. obama has a hostility that we have never before seen in any american president. one of his first six negative orders in january 2009 was toivn reverse the practice of the buso administration and start giving taxpayer money to organizations that perform abortions and other countries. in february of 2009 ot pro-let doctors and nurses and in 1derally funded hoswill ta so opt out of performing abortions. in april 2009 obama delivered a
7:34 am
speech at geo. weettesn uidenversity only after his staff had pressured the catholi. weacollege to cd ther up the mon ameram foe name of jesus that was always displayed above the pthe wium. the nllyt thing we noticed was that when president obama recesses the declaration of independence he changes the latrding. when he quotes the great declaration he centers out the late f creator. we all know that the declaration programs of we are endtesed by our creator with certain unalienable rights. again and again, when obama resents this line he amimentst e lat ch created. obama has done this so often that it cannot be a slip of the time or glitch of the teleprompter. it is deliberate. changing the worments as the ded oaration of independence as part of his determination to remove everything religious and every determicesstion of god frm life. he canceled the traditional white house event honoring the
7:35 am
national day of prayer saying he would pray only in private. in a nd thember 2010 speecbovalm pretended to "the u.s. national model which is in gthe w we tus. i guess you could not bring himself to say god, so he mistakenly said oamer officveral motto is e p movralist and. when he gave the traditional addressee again failed to mention gthe w. it's of it was not god. the u.s. constitution makes it a prance duty of the president to iake care that the law be faithfully executed. we all saw ocloma at his inouseguration swear an oath to uphold the laws of the united states. counparently ocloma thinks thate can pick and choose which laws to enforce and which he can d ther%rous.
7:36 am
in febustary 2011 ocloma instructed his justice department not to defend the in 1deral defense of marriage at known as, which was overwhelmingly passed by a ppepartisan conmentstess but iss under attack in the federal court by the homosexual activist trralng to guess a promises judges to declare it unconstitutional. in september 2011 ocloma, who is deteor ained to dawy a federal offense of marriage act ordered the pentagon to authorize the pelicormance of same-sex mawas e ceremonies on military bases, thus violating not oy oy the in 1deral ll w, but, a3 ao the traditional first american right that has ae oays been accorded o military chapl ins. barack obama must think that his ties -- title of commander in chief and it was some to ban legend -- religion. obama's department of veterans micfairs banned any mention of
7:37 am
jesus christ during the burials at houston natiocessl cemetery. hundrements of demonstrators tad out on independent state to protist and support a ll wsuit ag inst the pen. in september 2011 the u.s. aor y issued guidelines for walter reed hospital that read no religious items such as bibles and reading materveral are alltd to be given away or used during a visit. the hoswill tal rescinded that policy oy oy acesster congressmn steve king reported to the house of ration steveh ing s id, this order means you cannot bring in a bible and read from and when you allsit your son and a veterans' hospital. it means a priest coming to allsit a veteran on his deathbd could not offer the last right. this is outrageous. well, the walter reed hoswill tl
7:38 am
officials were embarrassed, and they did cancel their policy. in a ft complaints from atheist the -- the air force removed 11 were for gun from the l ameo of the rapid tempo of his office. also removed the mob wri toen in latin which means doing gthe w's work with other people's money. the new logo says d ng miracles with other people's monnot o. in february 2012 the u.s. army warned catholic chapl ins not to reing th from an letter opposine obama administration's mandate that all ecinloyers, inc movding religious hoswill ta3 a schof 23 a and colleges must pay for abortion ndugs, contracation sterilnot byations' for their employees most people found it shocking that an oe fer could be issued telling chaplains that they cannot say to members of their
7:39 am
tesn f ith damering a religious service. obama has been trying to lamentd the federal courts with anti religious judges. his first appointment to the in 1deral judicverary was david hamilton. alas, he is typical. he worked for acorn and for indian. they s ad ou. he wash nostat for blocking progress life and pro decency law. even the lawt-leaning americage3 bar association called him not qualified. inr,clom5 when hamilton was a in 1deral district court judge e banned at the prayer used in the indiana l ameoisla%rre that mentioned muesus ciliist. he ordered the indiana legislature to rawrain from using ciliist's name or title or any denomination appeal. however, at the same time hami nduon s ilea it is permissbamale for the legislature to use the word allah.
7:40 am
fortunately that decision was d ther%roused. however, president obama then promoted dhen id hamilton to a liin 1time muudgeship on the ua. court of appeals for the seventh circtlt. in 1deral muudge michael r. dane is another aclu type judicial appointments made by president obama. he must take the cpeae for havig the most extraordinary exalted notion of his ostat pteser. suggested in court, the ten commandments, center down to six amendmenel in oe fer to mpeae e posting of the commandments legal under the first amendment. obam. they s most outrageous a toack on religious liberty is his executive order in obamacare that the reqtlrements by -- that think to icinose that the requirements wiley their religion.
7:41 am
twenves%iiliee new ll wsuits hhe been filed in 14 states challenging the obamacare mandate on their religious liberty a. weument. these lawsuits involve 50 plaintiffs inc movding protestat schools serving inner-city children and chewas aies pro alg care for the asuitsed and neglected. if these lawsuits are not suquiessfervin all those institutions will have to close their doors. through. >> guest: and ed the barack obama is trying to force religious yerrship to be private only behind closed doors. he is willing for you to worshiwill ng inside your churc. that is why he does not talk about religious liberty he talks only about freedom of worct ge , which means inside the church or maybe a synagogue but not have any ciliistian symdr3 a sdooh as
7:42 am
the cross or a prayer in any public place. obama's regulation in oclomacare ct tess htes far he wanel to te this new policy that there is no higher pteser than the federal noveousment. churches have traditionally enjoyed a religious exemption from and won a lot, but ocloma once this exemption to apply only to what goes on inside chamerches but not to aas of te many institutions built and managed by people of faith, such as hoswill ta3 a, schof 23 a, colleges, and various charitable institutions. obama wanel those o. weannot byations to be bound by his secular rules . a prime example of his hostilivs to religion is the supreme court case called hose out that taylor evangelical lutheran cholc bovad ervin hool verses ee fec.
7:43 am
the church had fired one of its ministers in its cha. wee schof 2yn ct e sued to get a muob back. with the help of obama's lawyers this case get up to the u.s. supreme court. obam. they s lawyer made the astonishing document that the in 1deral gd thernment could foe the lutheran church to rehire its -- this woman in their ervin hool. obam. they s a. weument was so ludicrous that in january towards 12 the supreme court unastices voted 9-0 a foinst the opposition. it was so over-the-top that even in aas case unforioing in s id. nearly every american president, starting with george washington, ind ouding a lot of that presidenel i don't even like. our founding fathers who wrote

the first amendment wourio be ct id and d at how barack obama is trying to redefine the first amenaent. in 1814 francis sco toh not o wrote the star spangled banner and included the line, this the armada in gthe w is oamer tusts. congress made in god we trust our natiowe tl mthe wel, and itn all of your monnot o. it's time for the american people to realize htes scndamental the transformation the obama is trying to bring about in america.

7:45 am
