7:30 pm
good signed three documents and change the oil trajectory. he could approve the keystone pipeline. that is 700,000 barrels a day of canadian oil coming to houston and it improves and improve delivery of north dakota will, kansas, oklahoma, so it lowers the price of all of them. in oklahoma they said there is the dollars a barrel by lowering the cost. he could improve the areas in the gulf, that is 400 barrels of will a day. third, he could approve a designated area in alaska for up to 1,200,000 barrels. if those three steps, we have
7:31 pm
added 2,300,000 barrels a day, over 800 million barrels a day, -- a year, and the cap that much money at home to create jobs rather than sending it to saudi arabia. the president in his speech has emphasized drilling is not the answer, and he offered an answer. does anyone here know what the answer was? how many of you knew that the president's answer was algae? i believe in science and technology. i believe in biofuels. the research is terrific, and someplace down the road eventually algae will be helpful. i do not think this summer we will be putting algae in your cars. i think i am the one candidate
7:32 pm
who can win this race because i am the one candidate who understands how to design a big choice campaign. i worked with reagan. i worked with george h. w. bush in 1980 at. -- in 1980. the 1994 campaign was a big choice. in 1996, we were getting reelected to the house for the first time since 1928. obvious bign choice. i'd want to run this fall on the following energy policy -- you can elect president algae and have $10 a barrel. you can elect the president of drilling and have $2.50 a barrel. you decide which is better for your family. this is what i want to debate obama this fall. if i become the nominee, i will
7:33 pm
debate obama seven times with no moderator. the difference is so wide. i believe in the declaration of independence and constitution of the united states. he believes in apologizing to those who are killing our young men and women. i will never apologize to those. we need a candidate who was capable first of all of running a campaign eliminates obama's
7:34 pm
billion dollar ad campaign by proving to people -- on gasoline, you cannot buy enough ads to convince the people that they are not paying too much. that is the kind of campaign you have to run. i work for the reagan campaign and i anderson and how you pick the right fights at the right level and how you make the choice did it. you need somebody who can work with congress to get something done. we are not just in the business of defeating obama. we are in the business of replacing bureaucracies, replacing the lost, correcting the justice, and getting the country back on track. that requires far more than having good consol -- consultants, the ability to read somebody's notes. that requires an understanding
7:35 pm
that constitution, how to take house members and senators and how to work with the american people because in order to change quashed, you have to be active as citizens. we can impose change in washington, but washington will never voluntarily change itself. if i become denominate with your help tomorrow, if i end up as the nominee, i ask every candidate running on a ticket with me to pledge they will stay in office on january 3 and before i am sworn in on january 20, they will repeal "obamacare ." they will prepare a -- repeal the dodd-frank bill. on the very first day of the new
7:36 pm
administration i will sign all three of those appeals to clear the slate and focus on getting positive things done to create jobs in america. on the first day about two hours after the address, i will sign a series of orders. the first one will abolish all of the white house czars as of that moment. we well on that first day to move the embassy from tel levied to jerusalem and defend israel's right of sovereignty. we will reinstate ronald reagan's mexico city policy and
7:37 pm
no taxpayer money will be spent on abortion outside the united states,. . -- outside the united states, period. the obama administration apologists to fanatics while attacking the catholic church and right-to-life institutions in the united states. on the first day i will order the repeal of everett anti- religious act of this -- will order the repeal of every anti- religious act of this administration. to go back energy come on the first day i will sign the pipeline for canada and i will tell the canadians every day do not cut a deal with china. help was on the day. we want the pipeline -- help is on the way. we want the pipeline in the united states. i can only do all of these
7:38 pm
things with your help. the primary tomorrow really matters. your vote really matters. i hope you will decide having an experienced leader who has helped do these things before and who is capable of taking obama had on is what we need as a party and more importantly the need as a country. i look what forward -- i look forward very much to the questions. >> i could not tell. i cannot tell when the end was coming. we're going to another part of our program. we will have questions from our
7:39 pm
panelists. i will introduce you to them. we have daniel moss, rose mary alabash, michael smith. daniel, you have the first question. >> mr. speaker, it is an honor. proclamationcoln's for a day of national humiliation at goes much of what our country is going through today. i agree with him in his words. we have grown in numbers, well, and power as no other -- other nation has done before, but we have forgotten got. blessed are the nations whose got is the lord. most americans believe in the right of liberty and they are given only by god. have lived in -- we live in the
7:40 pm
country that has seen more than 50 million abortions. how will you lead our nation back to god? >> it is an important question. first of all, you have to have a president who believes that that is part of their responsibility, something which obama does not. you'd have to have a president who is prepared to pray. i have had a project at one point to have fdr's de date career, because when we landed in normandy, he went on national radio and 46 and a half minutes he prayed. -- and for 6.5 minutes he prayed. the country participated with the commander in chief. it is a powerful prayer. part of it is too recent for the country around this spirit part of it is to bring judges back
7:41 pm
into enforcing the constitution, not rewriting it. part of what makes my campaign different is we go to a 54-page document on the founding fathers in the judiciary that outlines step-by-step how to bring the judiciary into line and eliminate this kind of lost the position of a least -- of the elite values. part of a is to take on the elite media. there is a joke out that has the word christian in its title, and if you imagine that show with that title muslim and the title, you would know it is impossible. no one in the leeds would think of it. it tells you how the tree has become. we need a president who is prepared to say head on this kind of behavior is reprehensible, destructive,
7:42 pm
bigoted, and should not be tolerated in polite society. >> mr. speaker, will compare many job creation decisions -- in recent years labor unions have been able to sway the outcome of these decisions. critics have pointed out the flaws in enabling those special groups to determine the investment funded by taxpayers. what action will he take to ensure that special interests will not be able to interfere with administrative or legislative decisions? >> we need a new generation of appointees, and one of the major proposals we have is to eliminate the civil service laws and replace it with a monett management system.
7:43 pm
-- with a modern management system. we will have to take the public employee unions have not because they have become a destructive force. there is a recent reza but was always opposed to public employees having unions, because he said their ultimate employer was the tax payer and you could not have unions negotiate against the people. there's a great deal to be set about government unions be in danger hesperia we have to revisit provisions like david- bacon artificially raises the cost for every city, every state that they build something with federal funding, they spent an extra in order to meet a union wage which may not exist in the area. there are a number of steps like this we need to take. >> thank you, mr. speaker. >> thank you for coming to
7:44 pm
alabama. as the son of a marine, national security of our country is an issue that is dear to me. the world in which we lived in that our children will inherit appears to be falling into chaos. with iran on the verge of becoming a nuclear power, this administration's pour support of israel -- poor support of is your, what actions we take that tomorrow is stronger than today? >> that is a powerful question. my dad spent 25 years of the infantry. this is a place where the differences are pretty wide. obama believes in appeasement, apologies, and weakness as a national strategy. i believe in strength, honesty, and firmness as a national strategy. could not be further apart.
7:45 pm
i will give you three examples. the first is intellectual and coherence. when we picked up -- the fbi arrested and moroccan man. under the obama administration's rules, the fbi could not write down what motivated him. it be politically incorrect. they deal with terrorism as though it was a psychotic behavior when it is a phanatic behavior. they deal with that as if it were isolated. this is an error message problem in trying to debug these things. we had an army major at fort hood killed 13 americans, and he had in his wallet a card that said soldier of allah, was in regular contact with a clear in yemen who was urging the killing
7:46 pm
of americans, the army to its institutional shame refuse in its report to deal with the religious motivations which were clearly at the heart of what he was doing. to start with that mission that we have to develop intellectual honesty about what threatens us. the president's proposal to cut the defense budget is suicidal. it is absolutely suicidal. that we say in passing, when leon panetta at testified in the senate that he believed that a nato agreement or a united nations agreement superseded the congress, he should resign as secretary of defense. he has forgotten -- he is not the united nations secretary of
7:47 pm
defense. he is the united states' secretary of defense. we have yielded none of our constitution of party from the congress to the united nations or to nato to authorize use of force without the congress approving its. he is fundamentally wrong and all of us should be alarmed at the idea that the congress we elect no longer matters and a group of foreigners over whom we have no impact are the people who decide when to put young americans at risk for their lives. it is a fundamental mistake by panetta. last, in terms of iran, which should have a short and long term stature she. -- strategy. it should be to undermine and replace the government using every non-military means possible. we defeated the soviet empire without a war because we brought
7:48 pm
to bear economic, psychological llama political strategy . we can defeat the dictatorship in iran the fight -- decisively if we have a strategy to do so. in the short run we should say to them, we are serving notice that no israeli prime minister will run the risk of a second holocaust. therefore, if you persist in what you are doing and the israelis decide they cannot take the risk, they will bomb you. we're telling you in advance you should quit doing this if you do not want to get bombed, but if you do get bomb, is your fault because you are being provocative.
7:49 pm
-- thank you, mr. speaker. >> william f. buckley jr. once said we should go to the polls and vote for the most conservative republican who can win in the election. can you tell alabama why you are that person? >> sure. >> ok, next question. >> i did not come here to be speaking ill of the nevada, but there are differences. if you look at governor romney's ratings when he left massachusetts, when you look at the size of senator santorum's defeat in pennsylvania, i worked in the georgette g.o.p. when there was no georgette gop. ike ran for congress in the middle of watergate. i took 16 years to create a
7:50 pm
national majority. i helped design the first capitol events in history. 1984 i designed a campaign that set a record, carried 49 states. in 1988 we were behind dukakis 19 points in may, and we designed a reagan-style campaign. -- george bush attacked the kind of massachusetts liberalism that to cut costs represented. we switched 25% of the country. in 1994 when nobody thought it possible we designed a contract campaign in which we went to the people on a positive basis, just
7:51 pm
as i've with this fall. i would offer paychecks credit and food stamps. i would offer the constitution. i would offer $2.50 gasoline. people want real choices. ok, now, this has been a hard race. when we jumped in in june, all the media said we were dead, and it is difficult to raise money when you are dead. we came back and by december we were the front runner, and then negative5 million in advertising in iowa. we came back from that. we carried 156 counties in georgia because they knew me well enough that they repeat it dtvepeated the
7:52 pm
advertising. i did not believe the other candidates can beat obama, and i will not leave the field. second, when we win, we cannot just beat obama. we have to win in a principled way on a big enough to join up with enough momentum that we can change washington decisively, or we are not but to get this country back on the right track. i think i am the only candidate who can do that. thank you all very, very much. >> speaker newt gingrich. thank you, mr. speaker. thank you, panelists. thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for being here. mrs. gingrich is want to be
7:53 pm
rope to greet visitors. tomorrow please go to the polls, get are your friends and relatives go to the polls, work hard for the candidate of your choice. when we get our nominee, please get behind that nominee, whomever that may become an work like your life depended on it, because it does. thank you, ladies and gentlemen. >> 90 delegates are at stake in the alabama and mississippi primaries tomorrow. there will also be caucuses in hawaii and american samoa. live coverage will be here on c- span at 7:00 p.m. eastern with candidate speeches and your phone calls. >> at some point the federal
7:54 pm
government has to be able to say to a private business that owns critical infrastructure that we all depend on, that an enemy might attack, we have to say to them you have got to meet this standard of defending yourself and defending our country. >> in the year 2010, the estimate is there were 3 billion cyber attacks on private and government computer systems. 3 billion. so this is a threat that is growing exponentially and that we simply must address. >> senators lieberman and collins detail how their cybersecurity bill differs from other senate bills. the communicators, tonight at 8:00 p.m. eastern on c-span2. >> here's a look at the prime- time schedule.
