[captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2012] [captioning performed by national captioning institute] >> president obama urging congress to pass his latest home mortgage refinancing plan. it would allow homeowners current with payments to take advantage of lower financing rates even if they owe more than the homes are worth.

then pennsylvania congressman delivers the republican address discussing the jobs plans that includes proposals to produce more domestic energy and use the revenue to rebuild roads and bridges. >> the last couple weeks i have been talking with folks about my blueprint for an economy built to last. it focuses on restoring the things we've always done bells. our strengths. american manufacturing. american energy. the skills and education of american workers. most importantly, american values lake fairness and responsibility. we know what happened when we strayed from those values especially when it comes to the market. lenders sold loans to families that couldn't afford them. bank packaged them and traded them for gony profits. it drove up prices and created an unsustainable bubble that burst and left millions of

families who did everything right in a world of hurt. it was wrong. the housing crisis has been the single biggest drag on our recovery from the recession keeping millions of families in debt and unable to spend and left workers out of jobs. there is something more important at stake. i have been saying this is a make or break moment for the middle class. the housing crisis struck at the heart of what it means to be middle class in this country, owning a home, raising our kids, building our dreams. right now there are more than 10 million homeowners who, because of a decline in home prices owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth. it is wrong for anyone to suggest the only option for struggling responsible homeowners is to wait for the market to hit bottom. i don't accept that. none of us should. that is why away launched a plan that has helped nearly within million responsible homeowners

refinance and save an average of $300 on payments each month. i will be the first to admit it didn't help as many as we hoped but that do not mean we should not keep trying. that is why i'm sending to congress a plan that will give every responsible homeowner a chance to save about $3,000 a year on mortgages by refinancing at historically low rates. no more red tape or endless forms. a small fee on the largest institutions will make sure it doesn't add a dime to the deficit. this plan will not help folks who bought a house they could not afford and walked away from it. it won't help folks that bought multiple houses to turn and sell them in speculation. what it will do is help millions of responsible homeowners who make their payments every month but who until now could not refinance because their home values kept dropping or they got wrapped up in too much red tape. here is the catch. in order to lower mortgage

payments we need congress to t act. they have to pass the plan. as anyone who has followed the news the last six months can tell you getting congress to do anything is not easy. that is why i will keep up the pressure on congress to do the right thing. but i need your help, your voice. i need everyone who agrees to get on the plan, send an e-mail, tweet, pay a visit and remind your representatives in washington who they work for. tell them to pass this plan. tell them to help more families keep their homes and morning neighborhoods stay vibrant and whole. the truth is it will take time for our housing market to recover and economy to fully bounce back. but there are steps we can take right now to move this country forward. that is what i promised to do as your president and i hope members of congress will join me. thanks and have a great weekend. >> i represent the hard working

people of pennsylvania's servant congressional district. the need for washington to act on jobs is as urgent as ever. the unprompt rate has exceeded 8% three years running, longest since the great depression. struggling families and workers want to end the gridlock and get our economy moving. house republicans have offered good ideas that will help create jo jobs, but to execute them we need leadership from president obama and we need help from his fellow democrats who control the senate. as part of the republicans' plan for america job creators the house has passed nearly 30 bipartisan jobs bills that the senate hasn't considered, to help small businesses grow and create jobs. it was promising to see the president endorse several of our

ideas this week. but what would really be helpful is for him to urge the senate to actually vote on them. one of the jobs bills would extend the payroll tax cut for a full year as the president requested. republican led house has passed this bill, but the democrat controlled senate has not. a bipartisan conference committee is working to change that but time is running short. our democratic cheeks in washington have a responsibility to tell the nation what they are prepared to do to extend the payroll tax cut for a full year and give middle class families and small businesses much needed certainty. another jobs bill in the works is an energy and infrastructure plan that will support the creation of more than one million private sector jobs, not by wasting your money on pork

barrel projects and so-called stimulus spending but removing are nment barriers that getting in the way of american job growth. this marks a sea change from the way things were done in the past by both parties had stopped highway bills with -- stuffed highway bills with earmarks that trained resources from urgent projects that have a direct connection to economic growth. in 2005 i'm sad to say a republican led congress passed a highway bill that kennedy more than 6,300 earmarks including the famous bridge to nowhere. john boehner was one of only eight members that voted against that bill. he is now our speaker and those days are over. instead of more earmarks or new taxes, our bill will remove barriers to job growth by expanding american energy production which will help lower gas prices and using the revenue

to repair and improve roads and bridges. repairing roads and bridges is not just a safety issue, it is an economic one. pennsylvania has more structurally deficient bridges than any other state and a half million people in the are out of work. that is why our bill removes barriers to job growth and reforms the process by ending needless delays, empowering states and communities and ensuring resources go to projects that have a direct connection to our economy. this is another good idea that will help put americans back to work and it, too, is built on common ground. president supports improving infrastructure and recently echoed our party's call for an all of the above energy strategy. to learn more about the american energy infrastructure jobs act and republican jobs plan, visit

jo jobs.g jobs.gop.gov. gridlock in washington do not have to be one of our challenges. the house is acting on good ideas that, with help from the president and democrats in the senate, we can get things done. the people we represent sent us here to find solutions and to move the country forward, not further divide it. thank you for listen being and god bless america. >> by 2016 according to the i.m.f. the world's leading economy will be a communist dictatorship. think about that. if they are right, the guy you elect next november will be the last president of the united states to preside over the leading economy. mark steyn has published nine

backs. he is a tpraepbt guest host on rush limbaugh. live today your collapse to call, e-mail and tweet live at noon eastern on book tv on c-span 2. republican presidential candidate mitt romney is the winner of the nevada caucus. he is followed by former house speaker newt gingrich, ron paul and rick santorum. the former massachusetts governor gave his victory speech to supporters in las vegas. this is about 30 minutes.

>> it looks like we are missing a few of our kids. nevada.u rbyou, once again i'm here to make sure that you listen to me this time and obey when i tell you don't clap until i'm finished. nobody listened to me last time. but i do have to give special thanks to all the people that made this happen. the most people i need to thanks are the volunteers. a big thank you to all of you that volunteered. our nevada co-chairs, i want to thank our congressmen. the many nevada elected officials throughout the state who have been so crucial to our success. we are so appreciative. and nevada state director sarah

nelson, senior vice -- advisory, the finance director corey kristensen and i want to give a special south out to d a inn.u she became a good friend of mind and we so miss her sweet husband ken kwreufrplt a shout out to her, too. thank you. [cheers and applause] >> as i have just been observing things, as i tend to do, i have noticed that mitt has started to win in states that are so important for the general electi election. he won in new hampshire. that is going to be a very important state in the general election. it is a swing state in the

general. he did the same thing in florida. that will be a very important state for us to win in the general. we appreciate that. but also this state is going to be an important state in the general. [cheers and applause] >> now that we have you all excited and energized we are going to need you again next november so we appreciate that. maybe some of you are waking up to figure out that our country is in trouble, we are heading in the wrong direction and we are looking for a guy that can fix it and turn this economy around and create jobs. so, we are excited to introduce the next president of the united stat states. [cheers and applause]

>> thank you. thank you. this is not the first time you gave me your vote of confidence and this time i have to take it to the white house. [cheers and applause] >> four years ago obama came to nevada promising to help. he was elected his help was to skip coming here for

conventions and meetings. today nevada unemployment is over 12%, home values have plummeted and nevada's foreclosure rate is the highest in the nation. i have walked in nevada neighborhoods blighted by abandoned homes where people wonder why barack obama failed them. well, mr. president, nevada has had enough of your kind of help. [cheers and applause] >> three years ago a newly elected president obama told america if congress approved his plan to borrow nearly a trillion dollars he would hold unemployment below 8%. it hasn't been below 8% since. this week he has been trying to take a bow for 8.3% unemployment. not so fast. this is the 36th straight month with unemployment before the red

line your own administration drew. and if you take into account all the people who are struggling for work or just stopped looking the real unemployment rate is over 15%. mr. president, america has also had enough of your contained of help. [cheers and applause] >> mitt, mitt, mitt, mitt, mitt. >> let me ask you a question. did obama care encourage businesses to hire more people? >> no. >> did dodd frank get banks it renegotiate and make more loans? >> no. >> did the national labor relations board attack on boeing in south carolina encourage employers to expand here? >> no. >> did efforts to block the

domestic production of energy and keystone pipeline speed job creation? >> no. >> did the billions of dollars he sent to green energy buddies anyone here a job? >> no. >> mr. president, we welcome any good news on the jobs front but it is thanks to the innovation of the american people and in the to you, mr. president. [cheers and applause] >> >> romney, romney, romney, romney. >> this president's misguided policies made these tough times last longer. earlier in the week he spoke with a woman from texas during an online event. she said her husband has been out of work three years.

president obama said he found that interesting. interesting. really? i've got a better word. tragic. america needs a president who can fix the economy because he understands the economy and i do and i will. this president began by apologizing for america. he should now be apologizing to america. we are not going to settle for a president who tells us it could be worse. what defines us as americans is our conviction that things must be better. that conviction guides this campaign. it has rallied millions of americans to our cause including tens of thousands of nevadans who gave me their support here today and i thank them.

nevadans know our future is brighter than these troubled times. it is better than 15% real unemployment. it is better than $15 trillion in debt. it is been the misguided policies of the last three years and failed leadership of one man. our campaign is about more than just replacing the president, however. this is a campaign about saving the soul of america. president obama says he wants to fundamentally transform america. we want to restore america to the founding principles that made this country great. our vision for the future couldn't be more different than

his. he will grow government and amass more deficit. i will not just slow the growth of government. i will cut it. [cheers and applause] >> i will not just freeze government's share of the total economy, i will reduce it. without raising taxes i will balance the american budget. [cheers and applause] >> president obama's brand of capitalism sends your money to his friends' companies. my vision is return entrepreneurship to the genius of consumer markets and creativity of the american people. [cheers and applause] >> like his colleagues who think they know better he demonizes and denigrates almost every sector of our economy.

i will make america the most attractive place tphrld for entrepreneurs, innovators and job creators. >> unlike the other people for president, i know just how to do that. [cheers and applause] >> if i'm elected president my priority will be worrying about your job, not saving my own. one of the most important matters of our lives is healthcare. president obama would turn the decision making over to government bureaucrats. he forced through obama care. i will repeal obama care. [cheers and applause] >> just this week president obama orders religious organizations to violate their

conscience. i will defend religious liberty and overturn any regulation that tramples on our right to worship as we choose. [cheers and applause] >> mitt, mitt, mitt, mitt, mitt, mitt, mitt. >> barack obama is shrinking our military and hl lowing out our -- hollowing our national defense. i will insist on a military so powerful that no one in the would ever think of challenging it. president obama seems to believe that america's role as leader in the world is a thing of the past. i believe the 21st century will be and must be an american century. [cheers and applause] >> romney, romney, romney,

romney. >> our mission is to increase the freedom and opportunities of the american people and our blueprint is the constitution of the united states. [cheers and applause] >> we are going to build an america where hope is a new job with a paycheck, not a faded word on an old bumper sticker. i will not attempt to bribe the voters with promises of new and new subsidies and ever increasing checks from government. if you want to make this election about restoring american greatness then i hope you will join with us. if you believe the disappointments of the last few years are a detour and not

destiny i'm asking for your vote. i'm asking you to remember how special it is to be an american. i want you to remember why it was you or your ancestors who sacrificed to come to america, why they came here. it was not for a free ticket. it was for freedom. it was not for the pursuit of government benefits. it was for the pursuit of happiness. we still believe in that america. we still believe in the america that is a land of opportunity and a beacon of freedom. we believe in the america that challenges each of us to be bigger and better than ourselves. this election we must fight for the america we love. we believe in america. thank you so much and god bless

america. [cheers and applause]

>> republican presidential candidate newt gingrich met with reporters in las vegas. this is about 25 minutes. [applause] >> we thought on super bowl eve that instead of the standard rally we would chat with you all a little while.

let me say there is one story that came out today that i want to put to rest hopefully the next phenomena months. i am a candidate for president of the united states. i will be a candidate for president of the united states. we will go to tampa. we have over 160,000 donors, 97% of whom have given less than $250. we have an obligation to them to stand up for their values, concerned and reason they have gotten involved. we will leave monday to go to denver and then to minneapolis, then we will go on to i think four cities in ohio and we will continue to campaign all the way to tampa. i think that this week several things have clarified themselves that are very helpful. unlike governor romney, i care very deeply about help being the poorest americans. i believe that the declaration of independence' commitment that our creator endowed us with the right to pursue happiness

extends to the poorest americans and one of the great challenges to conservatism is to turn the safety net into a trampoline to give people an opportunity to achieve real status earning a living, buying a house, having a decent future. so i'm not comfortable as governor romney says he was with to languish in the safety net and i think that is a very fundamental difference between the two of us. i also believe his proposal for indexing minimum wage is a bad idea that will increase unemployment and every evidence we have is it would increase unemployment and if you are in a state like nevada which has some 32% teenage unemployment, if you are in a country with 43% black teenage unemployment, maybe you shouldn't be suggesting a capricious increase on an automatic basis of minimum wage

that kills jobs and stops access for young people. so there are big differences evolving in there campaign. i also believe the vast majority of republicans are going to want an alternative to a massachusetts moderate who has been pro-abortion, pro gun control, pro tax increase and ranked third from the bottom in creating jobs in the four years he was governor. so, i suspect this debate will continue for a long time. our commitment is to seek to find a series of victories which by the end of the texas primary will leave us about at parity with governor romney and from poeupint see if we can win the nomination. tonight he will do reasonably we will. it is a very heavily mormon state and one he carried in 2008. i think that we have early returns and we don't know yet how it will end up. last time around ron paul was in

second place. any time we are in a caucus state dr. paul has a substantial advanta advantage. do better t i will than john mccain did three years ago. we will go some delegates here. obviously we would like to get more but we are happy to be competing here and we are going to move on to compete first in maine, minnesota, colorado, early voting has begun in ohio and arizona and we will be competing later this month in arizona and michigan and we will go on to super tuesday and beyond that. i wanted to set that so all of you could relax and -- what happens is every primary day or caucus day the romney headquarters in boston sends out the rumor they believe i will withdraw, which is their greatest fantasy. i'm not going to withdraw. i'm actually pretty happy with where we are. i think that the contrast between governor romney and me will get wider and wider and

clearered a clearer the next few weeks. so i look forward to opportunities to debate him and draw the contrast and compete for votes. i will be glad to take your questions. >> [inaudible] >> i feel better. i was worried that you would not have noticed. >> what kind of conversations and what are some of the conclusions that came out of it? >> we got together for a very practical reason. i was surprised by the degree to which the establishment has closed ranks and made quite clear that they are desperate over the prospect of a gingrich presidency. i was surprised by george soros cheerfully explaining in davos that he was happy with either obama or romney because it didn't make much difference in

policy, it was just a containing of personality. he was surprised at the "new york times" article on the romney campaign's decision that they had to destroy newt gingrich. so, we stopped and said, all right, if this is the objective reality of the campaign, the entire establishment will be against us, the scale of wall street money starting with be amazing s will and the campaign will be based on things that are not true, then how do you define the campaign for the average american so they get to choose do they want two george soros approved candidates in the general election or would they like a conservative versus one george soros approved candidate. we spent the last four days laying out a campaign the next few months which, although we will be out spespent, which thi awake communicate -- we think we can communicate. reagan had this challenge with

john connolly and goldwater had it with nelson rockefeller where the establishment had massive financial advantages. reagan lost five straight primaries before he started winning in 1976. as we go from state it state, a pro-abortion, pro gun control, pro tax increase george soros approved candidate of the establishment probably won't do well. i'm happy to debate governor romney one on one anywhere any time that he is willing to stand up and explain his record without the kind of gimmicks he used in florida. >> you seem to be looking past -- wait a minute. >> i'm sorry. go ahead. >> everybody will get a chance. the super bowl is not until 3:29. >> there are reports [inaudible] has been meeting with mitt

romney? >> who is this? >> sheldon. >> i have no idea. >> would that bother you? >> what i think he is quoted as saying is if i dropped out he would be willing to support governor romney. i have said the choices of obama and romney, then there is no choice. i think that is how shelled t condition was. his concern is survival of israel. and compared to barack obama virtually anybody is a better candidate. so that doesn't bother me at all. yes, ma'am. >> thank you. you seem to be looking past the february states and aiming at super tuesday. how much focus the next couple of weeks will be on super tuesday's states. you are spending a lot of time in ohio. can you lay out what the next month will mean in terms of a super tuesday strategy? >> one of the things some of you as you keep score don't quite

follow me i think we are a national system in terms of information flow. so if i'm on hannity or in the associated press or one of the networks or even in "new york times", in reaches the whole country. so, i ran a campaign which twice has made me the front-runner and i suspect will again by the texas primary or so. that really is a national campaign. week, this coming week, we're in colorado, minnesota and ohio and then we do cpac in washington, then the following monday three days in california. so we are going to be all over the place again and again and again. but we intend to compete in every state in the country and you can count on us being competitive in every state in the country. yes, sir. >> nancy pelosi says she stands with her fellow catholics --

>> she stands with her fellow catholics meaning arch bishop dolan, the entire hierarchy, every bishop, every priest. those are her fellow catholics? >> [inaudible] >> well, you might ask archbishop dolan whether that applies to archbishop dolan. yes, sir. let me go back a second. as i say to you, the obama administration has declared war on religious freedom in this country and people need to understand that. this is a decision so totally outrageous and illustration of i h radical secular ideology believe the entire hierarchy will oppose it. it has to do whether the government can tell a religious institution you must give up your religious pwhraefs. that is what -- beliefs.

that is what it is. the right of a washington bureaucrat to tell you that you may no longer worship god the way you want unless you are willing to pay a penalty. as the average american learns that they will be repelled by the arrogance and antireligious of the obama administration. >> have you considered perhaps voters are not buying what you are selling? on the ballot in five states and won one but lost four and you talk about debates but you have had 18 of them and generally you have been considered to have done well and it is not showing up in the polls. >> i'm not going to defend the outcome in a state where i was outspent five to one and i'm suggesting that you are sophisticated enough to understand that the idea thinking where a guy spent five times as much money and many ads were false as described by the "wall street journal" and

"national review" that maybe that is not a very accurate measure. when it was an entirely positive campaign up through mid december i was ahead by 12 points in gallup. i was head in gallup about a week ago. so i think in a few more weeks i will be ahead there. >> he has again negative and it is working and -- >> so, to use your words he has gone negative and it is working. what i'm asserting to you is over time i don't believe the american people will approve of a campaign which suppresses turnout. i think it is amazing if you look at florida every county i carried in florida had an increased turnout. every county romney carried had a decreased turnout. that should sober every republican if the only way he wins is suppressing turnout how is he going to do that in the fall? if the only way he wins is outspending somebody five to one how will that apply to obama who

will outspend him? i suggest there are underlying factors in the race and i'm quite happy to continue campaigning and mildly amazed that the news media is finding excuses to say wouldn't you please quit this evening. >> [inaudible] mitt any -- romney is still ahead as he is right now? >> well, first of all, i'm not sure that mitt romney is in my head. that is interesting analysis on your part and with a psychiatric degree that will get you a opportunity to have new clients. i think that there is a clear contrast. i think the clear contrast is really important and that over time we will drive home that contrast in a way that will be enormously to his disadvantage. i think that the american people want somebody who is genuinely

conservative, who is prepared to change washington. just take his one comment this week about not caring about the poor, which we know was a mistake injuries as the kphpt about liking the fire people was a mistake, et cetera. i would suggest a conservative who cares the poor and every american of every background, a conservative who says why don't we rethink the entire safety net so it becomes a trampoline, not me, it is jack kemp, a range of people working the idea for 25 years. romney's comments were a sign that he doesn't quite understand conservative philosophy. i think that is important for the country, for republicans, for conservatives to think about. nominating one more moderate like 1996 when we lost badly and 2008 when we lost badly, i don't think that is a very good future for the republican party.

and because it is vital to beat barack obama i don't think it is very good for the country. >> [inaudible] >> much, yes. i was surprised. go back and look at the second debate. i have never had a person stand next to me in a civil engagement and be as substantially dishonest as he was. look at what he said. you had larry sabbato tweeting that romney was being factually false. i didn't have any good mechanisms -- i will by the next debate -- i didn't have any mechanism to turn to somebody who was being blatantly dishonest. if you can't tell the truth as a candidate for president, which by the way a charge that has been made by mccain, by fred thompson, by huckabee -- if you

can't tell the truth as a candidate for president how can the country expect you to lead as president? i was stunned. i make no bones about this. in the second florida debate i had nothing to say because i had never before seen a person who i thaought was a serious candidat for president be that fundamentally dishonest and it was blatant and deliberate and he knew he was doing it. >> [inaudible] >> i don't want to tell you now. please, jeff, you have to give us a few trade secrets. yes, ma'am. >> [inaudible] >> this is a state he won last time. i think we will do better than john mccain last time and he went on to reasonable success. >> [inaudible]

>> i haven't seen the reports. i will be happy to look at them. >> last night you said you are ashamed of the negativity of this campaign. you engaged yourself in any negativity in the campaign? >> of course. >> are you willing to give up any negativity? >> you can't unilaterally disarm in a world where somebody is willing to be aggressive. >> why not? >> you might as well withdraw from the campaign. >> you don't think you could win with a purely positive message? >> no. any of you who were with me in iowa saw it. i was relentlessly positive and i lost by 22%. >> you are ashaeupltd of it but -- ashamed of it but you are going with it? >> i think it is terrible that the american system is reduced it negative ads, some of them false. i wish it was not happening and

we would be better serving our children and grandchildren if it was not happening but it is a fact. unfortunately it is a fact that if you are not willing to stand and fight you have to get out of the race and that is a very sad comment. >> some sources have suggested that you decided you want to go more positive in the tone but that doesn't really seem to match your news conference. is that true? and what do you want to see about the tone moving forward? >> i think we are going to make a series of positive speeches. i'm perfectly happy to talk the idea of turning the safety net into a trampoline and talk about ideas we have for creating a much better future in terms of tax cuts and less regulation. i gave an entire speech last night at a local church about nature of america. i also predict to you that it is relatively harder to get your profession to cover totally

positive speeches. i can give hours of totally positive speeches. that doesn't mean you will necessarily show up. >> [inaudible] is it a positive message about america's future but negative about mitt romney? is that the plan? >> there is a before future for mark if we elect a conservative and i'm happy to talk about why true and why i think it is very hard for somebody who invented romney care to be part of that future. yes, ma'am. >> [inaudible] article that state [inaudible] >> i couldn't understand those arms when they came out because nobody i knew thought he was going to endorse me. we thought it was kind of weird. those of you who wrote them to go back to the sources and ask why they misinformed you. but there are few people better than manipulating the press than

donald trump and he proved it again. >> the explanation that we have gotten many times is that you are the brains and machine behind your campaign. you talk about not responding quickly enough to governor romney. do you think if you had consultants it would have been different? >> it wouldn't have been different. first of all, how is a consultant going to train you in advance and say in advance -- until i saw "new york times" article about the discussion last sunday morning, it had not occurred to me that you would ave the level of rou-- ruthlessness and dishonesty. i have been through a fair number of campaigns and fights and the language in that article is startling and i think frankly a break with the american tradition.

>> [inaudible] running your campaign? >> i think that we have a lot of smart people but it is fair to say when it comes to what the candidate does saand says i bea responsibility. i don't get talking points and you have a guy that comes in and does a pretty good job, the only two debates he has done well he was coached by this guy. then they fire him? that is kind of weird. you have the last question. >> we talked about the tkeufts in running a campaign [inaudible] about $600,000 in debt. >> i don't understand where that report came from because it doesn't fit our internal numbers and some clever person rigged their interpretation. >> [inaudible]

>> that is the one state we frankly messed up in. i have been pretty honest about that. we did the wrong thing, hired the wrong person and it didn't work. but we will be in 49 states and territories and we will be competitive in all of them. i hope you have a great super bowl and take a few hours off from politics and try to enjoy life. thank you very much.
