[applause] ♪ ladies and gentlemen, welcome cohost of raging elements radio, george rodriguez. ♪ >> good morning, my dear friends. i'm fighting off an nsa allergy, i think. they are trying to silence us.

five years ago, my friends, five years ago, the founding of the tea party movement came to texas, and it's stronger than ever, particularly in our area in south texas. what's curious to many political pundits is that we attract hispanics into the movement in south texas, and there's several reasons. first of all, contrary to what many liberals believe, not all hispanics are from spain. [laughter] okay? you just heard from raul, okay, a puerto rican, and here i am, a mexican-american. there are cubans. there are central americans. even within the large group of mexicans, there are mexicans that have. here, like my family for generations since before texas was texas, and then there are

those that just crossed the border, legally and, you know? all of them have a different perspective on american politics. secondly, many hispanics continue, particularly the new immigrants, they continue to be attracted to the faith based family values that we felt, and that makes fertile ground for recruiting them. third, and very importantly, is the outreach that we do. for example, we do trench work, okay? over at the g.o.p., and i don't want to hurt their feelings, but over at the g.o.p., they hire professionals, professional hispanics. okay? [laughter]

they hire professional hispanics. in a clear example of the differences. first of all, we have a recall effort going on against a liberal city counselman, and there's a real grassroots effort led by faith based groups and tea party folks, and they go door-to-door talking to people, and they are having great success. on the other hand, the g.o.p. candidates for lieutenant governor patterson put together a video, a professionally made video that he's sending out to hispanics. now, who do you think is going to be more successful? the fourth reason is our message, my friends, is not a segregated message, and by that i mean the same message to all americans resinates in the his panic community, okay?

the message of god, family, and country, that's important to us. that's important to us. the biggest challenges we have, and i want to point out none of the latino speaking media showed up is the mainstream media and in particular the spanish speaking media. they look at us as monolithic, as victims who just care about immigration, okay? i feel that that is just another form of liberal reverse discrimination. racism, that's what that is. i personally have worked very, very hard in south texas to show that con sebtism and the tea party have a brown face. the spanish speaking media, and

we do need spanish speakers, my friends, the spanish speaking media, specifically liberal telemundo networks, regularly refer to us conservatives, tea party folks, as antiimmigrant when in reality we're antiillegal immigration. intentionally or not -- [applause] intentionally or not, my friends, what they are doing is they are dividing a future group of american citizens. that is what they are doing, mislead k them, and rather than helping them to assimilate or polarizing them, maybe they want to maintain a captured spanish speaking audience, i don't know. they are promoting their own liberal agenda and messages. conservatives, my friends,

conservatives needs folks like rush limbaugh, hannity and others to challenge liberals in spanish, in espanol and has with the mainstream media in south texas where we endeavored to speak out on national tv, on telemundo, an foxen on mundo fox, and all the other ones, we have to be heard, my friends, in the spanish language as well as the english language, and they must see us that it's not just a bunch of old black men. i was born, my friends, i was born in brick housing, my parents self-taught. while there's many reasons to cry and sometimes surrender, there are always many more reasons to laugh and succeed, and though we spoke spanish at home and ate tortillas, we were always americans first.

[applause] liberals and the g.o.p. need to accept the fact the tea party is not going away and the g.o.p. has to realize the grassroots hispanics like myself are true who will work to save our nation, unlike i professional hispanics and consul at that particular times who need to be paid to get the vote out. in fecks, my friends, we have many tea party hispanics who are americans first like sanchez and rivera, and jackson and in san antonio, and them, of course, my good friend and champion of conservative cause z, senator ted cruz.

and now the seattle seahawks. [applause] what else is seattle known for? an incubator of national movements and trend. people think washington state is deep blue, but it's not. it is purple. three years ago, i read the book called # the colorado blueprint, and some of you may be familiar with it. it's about how poor individuals put a plan together to change colorado from red to blue. now i'm sure you're thinking now why is woody so excited about this? well, because we can do that here, the washington state blueprint. when looking at the immense task on how to turn washington state red, john f. kennedy had a quote. the american by nature is on the mistake. he's experimental, and inventor and builder who builds best when

called upon to build greatly. this is about the american dream, our cream and how our dream is protected and how local activists work to turn a blue state purple. how did we do this? first, we surrounded ourselves with people who have a deep understanding of the political process, by deep understanding, i mean immerse. for example, we knew we had to have the carl rove of washington state on our team, but you need people skill in the organization of organization and structure. we needed an organization that runs efficiently like a business. for example, the executives that ran the 7:57 program was the perfect fit, and he was on our team. some of you know wood, and wall, and second, the coalition.

the coalitions are nearly up stoppable. we set out with parks, diligence, and brotherly love to form this coalition. to name a few, the washington state dairy federation, the freedom foundation, tea party patriots, and local groups from all across the state from louis and clark tea party to the covington tea party patriots. i think i spied a couple of you in here earlier. second amendment foundation, the washington state farm bureau, and campaign for liberty ron paul group, all of us banded together to work hand-in-hand for the first time in 30 years with one common goal, the goal of changing the state senate and house to just fiscal conservative. we all agree to lee our egos and agenda as the the door. third factor --

[applause] third is selecting the districts to flip them as critical. we identified seven districts at the conservative candidate losing every single election for the last 35 years, but with 48% of the vote, some cases a spread of 400 to 800 votes for 35 years. now, what do you do once you have your districts? you must make sure your candidate can win. do they have a campaign manager? do they have a written campaign plan? have they taken a selfie with their iphone for the voters' guide? voters' guide to look sketchy. you know, make sure the guy's not a moron. [laughter] as election season started, we putt the plan into motion. some of you flew in from

alabama, georgia, mississippi, tennessee to walk with us. that made a huge difference and was very special to us that you all flew in. we asked organizers from the wisconsin governor walker effort to run the brown game. we couldn't have done it without them. it was troughly a team effort. now, hundreds of walkers began standing out over two months knocking on thousands of doors enwoijing voters, handing out information, and one of the most conservative operations in washington state's freedom found cation was busy training hundreds of grassroots, and fast

forward to election night. we watched the news from the east coast, but as the night wore on, and it got later, it seemed as though one bright light was shining in the night of disappointment and dispair. washington state results started trickling in. a celebration started to unfold as it was clear the fiscal conservatives took control of the washington state senate for the first time in 35 years. [applause] one first step of moving wushz from blue to red and one step closer to spreading this to all 50 states. this can't be just about one state. it's about our country. this is how we finish the story, the fight for freedom and fiscal

my book. i'm not letting go of it until i leave this stage. he's coming up pretty soon. for many, many months before the passage of the party protection and unafford care act, we were told by our friends on the left of which i have -- that we had to pass this law to solve the issue of preexisting conditions. we were also told that 45,000 people were, quote, dying in the streets. is that true? no. of course it's not true. first of all, we know people are not dying in the streets because of what law? emergency medical treatment and leave act passed under reagan. if you're 250 yards from a hospital in this country, they have to treat you regardless of your ability to pay, but was president obama speaking truthfully if you deny health insurance in the individual

market where there's no protection to preexisting condition, does that mean you're left with no option? no. who is responsible for preexisting conditions anyway? where does that clause come from? as is the case with most problems, it comes from here, right here in washington, d.c.. back in 1996, a bipartisan group of legislators got together and wrote a law called hipa, and when we hear the word "hipa," we think of what? privacy. that's right. there's a far more important clause in hipa, and it's the letter responsible for the third word in hipa which is affordability. affordability allows one to support one coverage, coverage of preexisting conditions from one employer sponsored plan to another employee sponsored plan as long as it's within 63 days. that's law. how do we know it's true? has an employer said, boy, lose

a few pounds? how many medications do you take? does your family have a history of heart disease? it's illegal to do that because of hipa law protecting 90% of the american insured, but when the federal government wrote this law, they dropped the ball and extended no affordability protection for those of us in the individual market that buy our health insurance, that's 10% of the insured americans, 14 million. those prior to obamacare could be denied coverage. now, did we need obama care to solve that problem? did we need to spend, according to the cbo, $2 trillion over the next ten years, and, by the way, still leave 31 million people unensured, after spending that. we did not. you see, the state stepped up and started their own solution. we had infrastructure built already, and 35 states before obamacare was heard of. there was state high risk

insurance pools and the people's republic of illinois where i hail from, we have one called ichip, the illinois comprehensive health insurance plan, and if you are denied for health insurance from any carry yeah, the regulators in illinois say every coverage has to give a percentage of the profits to a pool of money, and we'll manage the money, if you are denied, come to us, we insure you regardless, and you carry a blue cross, blue shield of illinois card even though you have preexisting conditions. guess what? we didn't need obama care to solve the issue. can you use individual mandates? in ohio, for example, they manage that each insurer offer 4% of the block business to six people once a year during open enrollment. long before obamacare those things were in place. there's another important process, and that's section 2742 that prohits any health

insurance in the nation from dropping coverage when you are sick or raising your premiums when you are sick. i found this out years ago as a health insurance broker. that's right, i'm an evil health insurance broker. [laughter] okay. so it's a clause that is ironclad, and i found this out, and i watched # the megyn kelly show, and bill elliot came on and told her it is cancer, thanks to obamacare, the insurance company was dropping his coverage mountain nid l of cancer treatment, raising his deduct deductible from to 1500 and premiums of 189 a month up to $1500 a month. his deductible to $13,000. i said, bill, i want you to know the president's been lying to the american people for four years. they can't drop coverage or raise premiums, it's illegal under federal hipa law. contact governor haley in south

carolina. she's one of us. so he did. he put it out off of my blog, truth about preexisting conditions, shameless plug, and he faxed the insurance policy company, a message from bill three days later that, said, i can't believe it, the insurance company called me, you are right, i can keep my policy. [applause] three weeks later, i want you to know that bill is now in full remission.

[applause] the tea party has been very clear right from your spontaneous beginnings. you were deeply concerned about the fiscally irresponsible agents of the government, misguided stimulus, the take outs of private industry, your goals equally as clear as they were reaganesque. renew america for renewed support, fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government; and free market economic policy. for believing in lib rty and

fiscal sanity, you were demonized right from the very beginning. it was astonishing if i'm surprising to watch a part of abuse directed at the tea party. i can tell you this kind of abuse was directed at ronald reagan that believing exactly the same kind of things. he was called evil by house speaker o'neill, a president who was told and mean and cruel, and yet, but of course, ronald reagan was inevitably called a racist. this is, in fact, what the american left does. particularly when they are losing the argument. the tea party is racist, really? really? perhaps it's time to point out that this charge of racism from the left comes from members of a political party that have proudly stood for, and i want to be specific here, six platforms to support its slavery.

they oppose the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments to the institution that successfully wipe out slavery and gay folks legal rights and voting rights to black americans. they supported segregation actively or by silence in 25 forums. they opposed antilynching laws specially supported by the republican party platform, and liberals didn't just support the ku klux klan, they were the ku klux klan, regularly electing clan members to the united states senate, house of representative, and the nations governorship without putting a clan member on yet the supreme court of the united states. these are people with a long and wretched political history of depending on in and every steam imaginable, then and now, that judges their fellow americans by skin color, and they have the nerve to call the tea party raisessist? it is more than past time to call them out.

gratitude. [applause] mark and ronald reagan's biographer, craig shirley, certainly remembers as i do that in march of 1980 as governor reagan was on the way to winning the republican nomination for president, former president gurled ford went to the new york times to say governor reagan the kinds of things that are said of the tea party today. ronald reagan said president ford was too extreme. he was a sore loser because -- and i'm quoting here, a very conservative family, and as you recall, lost to carter years earlier, and not only ballet carter in a land slide in 1980, four years later won reelection by 49 votes, 49 states, not votes, sorry.

[laughter] sorry. [laughter] which lastly brings me to president reagan and his great friend, margaret thatcher. there is a reason ronald reagan won two lands slides and thatcher was the longest serving prime minister winning three elections in a row. both believed with the tea party in drawing a line in the sand that clearly separates right from left, that is not only the key to victory, but they were right about this in the establishment was wrong. president reagan referred to establishment republicans as the types the tea party does battle with every day as paternal order republicans. mrs. thatcher summonedded terms from the british school system and call for establishment conservatives the wet. both believe that the politics of what reagan called the paternal order and mrs. thatcher

disdained as consensus politics were road maps to defeat. in fact, one if there had been a tea party in britain, mrs. thatcher would have been its leader. said she scornfully of the consensus politics she believed brought repeated defeats of the conservative party in great britain, and i'm quoting here, the old testaments prophets did not go on to the highway saying, brother, i want consensus. they said, this is my faith. this is my vision. this is what i'm fashion natalie believe. go out, preach it, practice it, fight for it, and the day will be ours. as you go about your challenges this year for the republican establishment, the paternal order republicans, whether here op capitol hill or across the land, i would urge you to take the understanding of ronald reagan that there is a time for choosing and take to heart the words of margaret thatcher, if i

may americanize them. go out, into the highways and byways of america, and make it plain as ronald reagan did, tell the american people, this is my faith, this is my vision, this is what i believe, go out, practice it, preach it, fight for it, and the day will be yours. thank you very much. [applause] ♪ ♪ come on.

[cheers and applause] >> thank you very much. what's all this for? happy anniversary. [cheers and applause] honor to be with you. you're an inspare ration to me and millions of others. the fact is we live under a lawless president, a sectless congress, and all-powerful supreme court, they consume nearly 25% of the entire economy and goodbyes up whole industries. we are 17.3 # trillion dollars in fiscal operating debt, owe over a trillion dollars in unfund liability. there's not enough money on planet earth to pay that back.

the overall set, when it's all combined grows by 5-7 trillion dollars a year. this president proclaims the era of austerity is over. [laughter] the federal government, now the nation's largest creditor, debtor, lender, employer, consumer, contractor, grantor, property owner, tenant, insurer, health care provider, and pension guarantor, so much for limited government. it unleashing thousands of regulations and rules every single year over the course of a decade. it fills nearly 1 million pages in the federal register. we are being devoured by the very government that is supposed to serve us. the centralization and concentration of power is moving

at breakneck speed as the institutions fire walls have been breached, and i don't need a liberal law professor from george washington to tell me what's going on either. [applause] although we welcome them. the tea party movement is the only thing left that stands between what remains of our republic and the tyranny of run away government, an i say this from the bottom of my heart and my soul, and i thank you. you are the citizens from all walks of life and all corners of the country who possess this spirit and enthusiasm of the founding fathers, proclaim the principles of individual liberty and unalienable rights as set forth in our declaration. insist on the federal government's compliance with the constitution's limits.

you are astutely aware of the pearl of the moment and all that is at stake, and for this, you are smeared and attacked by the ruling class. democrats and republicans alike, by the media, from the new york slimes to the wall street journal and countless others who are dragging this nation into the abyss, and i know that at times you wonder if we'll be able to reverse course. you wonder if it's all worth it. you wonder if you should live quiet lives among family and friends and tend to your own needs, but i also know you're americans, and you cannot be idle, and you will not be silenced while a relevant handful master mind seeks to lord over you and your fellow citizens. you will not allow your country

to fail. [applause] now, let me remind you, december 23rd, 1776, when it looked like the american revolution was lost, what was left of general george washington's continental army gatheredded for what the history books described as the battle of trenton. before they boarded rickety wooden boats across the froze p delaware river on that miserable winter night, it began to read allow from thomas payne's "the american crisis," and they repeated these words. this became their motto. "these are the times that try men's souls, the summer soldier and the sup shining patriot will in this crisis sliping from the

service of its country, but he that stands by it now deserves the love and thanks of man and women." that's you. tyranny like hell is not easily conquered if we have this copslation with us. .. ronald reagan was not part of the establishment. it was an outsider and like you

and so many others throughout history he had the courage to stand up and be counted and for this also like you, reagan and his supporters were disparaged and dismissed by the same ruling class and i will give you a few examples. george will, 1974. reagan is 63 and he looks it. his hair is still remarkably free of gray but around the mouth and neck he looks like an old man. he has never demonstrated substantial national appeal. his hard-core support today consists primarily of that, cause he conservatives who thought the 1960 goldwater campaign was jolly fun. there is reason to doubt that reagan is well-suited to appeal to the electorate that just produced a democratic landslide. george will.

chuck percy former republican senator from illinois, a reagan nomination in the crushing defeat likely to follow could signal the beginning of the end of our party as an effective force in american life. he said reagan is far out of the centrist mainstream. what the hell is a centrist mainstream anyway? [laughter] i used to think it was the constitution. i used to think it was free market. i used to think it was private property rights. apparently that's now right-wing. [applause] john rhodes would become a republican leader of the always in the minority republicans in the house at that time said as soon as reagan gets away from his clichés and his campaign slogan season trouble. nelson rockefeller who leads the current republican party i thinn

governors that no major american party could long endure by directing its appeal to a narrow minority. it will not serve the nation to have our major parties polarized at ideological extremes. does this not sound familiar to you? there are so many of these i could go on all day with this. [laughter] [applause] i have got a radio show to do and the president to attack so i can't stay long. [applause] let me and with this one from our friends at "the wall street journal" editorial page. in 1979. "the wall street journal" wrote,

for political packaging we do not need to turn to a 68-year-old man. maybe they will write tomorrow rum political packaging we don't need to turn to a 68-year-old woman who would be hillary clinton. [applause] but i digress. now as you heard from my friend jeff lord, gerald ford went on to lose to a very weak democratic candidate named jimmy carter. reagan went on to win in 1980 and 84 to the biggest landslides in american history. the popular vote i would remind karl rove and electoral college. [applause]

having campaigned personally for reagan in 1976 and 80 and i want you to listen. i feel certain he would be enormously proud. in fact i'll bet he would have been thrilled to stand before you write here and thank you for all you are doing and all you have done and congratulate you on this fifth anniversary of the tea party movement. i think it's appropriate to end my comments with a truism from president reagan which is the last paragraph from ibooks liberty and tyranny which most of you have heard i now but i'm going to repeat it anyway. for those of you who haven't. reagan rode freedom is never one generation away from extinction. we didn't pass it to our children in the lead stream. it must be fought for, protected and handed on for them to do the

same for one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children's and our children's children what it was once like in the united states when men were free. you folks, you are an inspiration to people like me and millions of others. it's a great honor to be here and on behalf of all those other people and your fellow citizens and generations yet to
