11:09 pm
daddy's democratic party any more. not even close. they never talk about how radical the democratic party has become. so i wanted to make that point, which is unresponsive to john's question. but it is important to point out. >> we're on a hard break. i need a name or two that has that unifying vision. >> i will now answer that question, john. i have watched what scot walker has done. he has stood up to them, laid out the facts. treated the people of wisconsin like adults. and he is in for a very tough fight again this year for a reelection. the media is out to get him. if he can win for the third time
11:10 pm
in four years in wisconsin, i think he should at left get a look from our side heading into '16. >> and walker was great kicking off western summit a year ago. a lot of us were here. okay. as we wrap the pand el. panel. some returning three times. as the rookie, katie, we want to initiate you. they got their ultimate glamour portrait last year. i hope we have the slide of katie's glamour portrait. please come back often. thank you, guys. katie, mary katherine and james golden. wednesday on c-span 3, washington journals interview of university of minnesota
11:11 pm
president eric hailer. part of a special series of universities in the big 10 conference. that's followed by part of this year's nation conference. selections from the usa an newell convention and progressive politics from the campaign for america's future. travellers entering the u.s. from any of the three west africa country reporting an ebola outbreak must enter through one of five airports. airports in new york newark, washington, atlanta and chicago, quick to screen passengers for the virus. here is the white house press seconded to say about it. >> on two other subjects, department of homeland security
11:12 pm
just announced that any travellers from west africa from liberia and sierra leone will have to go through the five airports you had designated. and screening measures and as you have said last week that that covered virtually everybody that was coming in from the country but not entirely. why was not this policy that is being in today putting place back then since it would have been presumably 100% coverage? >> what we said for some time is that president stands to further protect the american public and this is an example of american travel restriction that could be put in place by our homeland security officials to ensure safety and security of the american public. when the president was asked in the oval office on thursday evening of last week about a travel ban, the president explained why he believed the travel ban would not be in the best interest of american public
11:13 pm
safety but did indicate an openness to travel restrictions that could be put in place to protect the american public. this is an example of one of the travel restrictions and -- this is relatively creative policy making. airlines were flying from a variety of countries from pure yop to the united states. it did require work with other countries. there is a lot going into the development of the policy. i'm pleased to see it is being implemented, starting tomorrow, i believe. >> which step does the administration take in the event that any of the travellers enter the are they in both northern and southern entry points?
11:14 pm
>> it is my understanding that dhs is focused as well. there's been a lot of public attention on the screening measures in place for individuals arriving at the airport. there are more screening for those that arrive at sea ports and over land ports of not try as well. for those details, i would pass you along to homeland secure whoit have the details. >> members of congress have been weighing in on the new west africa travel restrictions. fred upton said, i continue to believe more comprehensive travel restrictions can be used to keep ebola from spreading and allow us to train all of our resources on treating the sick and this disease in the effected kun countries. michael mccall released this in statement. in addition requiring all travellers from at-risk countries to fly through
11:15 pm
airports with enhanced screening measures in place, i can see a call on the administration p. this is from liberia, sierra leon and new guinea. well follow the latest on the u.s. response from ebowl why. can you see it on-line any time at c-span upon the org. now more western conservative summit. first tea party co-founder jenny beth martin talks about undocumented children along the u.s./mexico border np then in 15 minutes, former lieutenant gov betsy mccaughey talks about the affordable care act. finally this 3 minutes, gel better guill rey ordonez y talks about his switch to the republican party. this part of the forum is just under an hour.
11:16 pm
>> thank you senator andrews, how is everyone doing? isn't this an amazing event? yesterday, after all of the events, i was reflecting on the tea party. when i think of the original tea party, i'm reminded of frustrated government appearance. frustrating and dumping tea into boston harbor. their principled protest, they could not have known their demonstration would be the movement hundreds of years later. and they would never guess a savvy businesswoman and mother two of would lead the charge. jenny beth martin is the political strategist in 2009 responded to the call for a new kind of party. frustrated by government, fully commit together grass roots movement and today hail eats tea party's co-founder.
11:17 pm

11:18 pm
>> thank you. i bring you to the war of 1812. just yesterday morning i woke in texas having spent the bet ae b part of the last week, seeing for myself, and for you, exactly what is happening on our southern border. i spent that time talking with local sheriffs and residents. hearing directly from the front lines and learning firsthand about the problems on the border. we hear calls from people on the left and even some in the republican party saying we must launch what they call a humanitarian effort. they tell us we must care for the unaccompanied minors coming into our country. they tell us we must not, no, we
11:19 pm
cannot, send these young people home. they tell us we must borrow even more money from china to house and clothe and feed and inoculate and treat these strangers who broke into our home. well, i am a mother, i am a woman, i am a christian and i'm proud to say, i am an american. i have listened to these arguments and i checked them against my heart and my head. my experience and my values. and to these arguments i need the one word to respond. no. [ applause ] disagree? go to the american border and speak to the citizens with whom
11:20 pm
i have spoken. learn about the crime. local residents will tell you they have seen a flood of illegal residents pour into their city last two years. they will tell you how crime against persons and property has increased. sheriffs means and del rio tell us of residents along river who have had their homes robbed. everything from televisions to washing machines to copper wire. stolen from homes, put on floats -- put on rafts and floated across the river into mexico. i saw a photo of a home where a mother and her children had to hide under the bed for safety while a band of immigrants started shooting outside their home. these are american citizens who call this part of o you are country home for the last decade.
11:21 pm
many for generations. they do not want to give up their property and they should not be forced to do so. we saw a 2.8 mile stretch in del rio texas, 2.8 miles. now to keep that in perspective, the border -- along the border between texas and mexico is 1200 miles. unless you're a member of the new york times editorial board, you have no trouble seeing the problem here. you realize how easy it is to go around and still get into the country. people have literally walked around the fence about 20 feet to the east of where it begins.
11:22 pm
if it were not so serious, this would be for jon stewart. then there are the coyotes. even people who smuggle human beings across the border for profit. the coyotes get their money up front. consequently in the words of bureaucrats ever where, they are disinsent advised to care whether the people they are smuggling into america make it alive. retired sheriff's, who started the border sheriff's coalition, tell us there are times when the coyotes, cornered by authorities, will abandon their car. with people in the trunk. which might not be so bad, except sometimes they do it while driving across the rio grande. and then they just watch as their car sinks in the river and they escape the border patrol.
11:23 pm
and the evil doesn't stop there. sheriffs confirm that they are running the show on the southern side of the border. and all too often on the u.s. side as well. the drug cartels are sophisticated and cunning yet it is not rocket science for them to climb out from atop buildings in mexico, use binoculars and see when and where the boarder patrol are and send their network through an area that's not being covered.rder patrol are and send their network through an area that's not being covered. sheriffs confirm that as soon as one area beefs up security, the illegal immigration in that area increases while not surprisingly it decreases in other areas on the border. people don't realize how the administration has entered people illegally subjecting them to this evil in the process.
11:24 pm
president obama's deferred action for childhood arrival program, another one dictates the written laws of this nation, sending people to central and south america, saying if they just get into our country they will be able to stay. images of plane rides, flat screen tvs, soccer balls and teddy bears, send messages that children will be cared for and showered with material gifts. but the media is blocked from the detense centers where many of the children are sick. for the young children cry themselves to sleep wanting their parents. reports ignore how the trek to the united states can be. articles for some reason don't mention that overwhelming majority of these so-called children are actually mid teen boys, 16, 17, 18 years old. just a perfect age for gangs.
11:25 pm
the young people are at the mercy of the drug cartels and brutal desert heat. they risk injury and death if they are not pulled into the drug cartel and used for other purposes. friends, what we are seeing is neither moral nor compassionate. it is neither moral nor kmagsate to encourage parents to send their children off to embark on a life or death truck with an uncertain outcome. it is neither moral nor compassionate to put children at risk of bodily injury, disease and death or possibly even worse, life is a game played. it is neither moral nor compassionate to put our hardworking american families whoe
