tv Washington This Week CSPAN February 1, 2014 9:00pm-11:01pm EST
9:00 pm
i love amnesty for illegal immigrants. leading our nation. the establishment can say, we are the only the establishment can say well, we're the only chance at repealing obamacare and if you don't elect us the democrats are not going to do it. how many in this room really trust the current republican leadership in the senate and in the house to actually do what they say and repeal obamacare, raise your hands? how many dosed -- don't trust them? so, why should we believe anything that they say? they don't keep their word. they don't like being held accountable.
9:01 pm
can tell you, we have evolved beyond holding tea parties. a georgia, we are beginning precinct organization plan. we are going after swing and independent voters. we formed a coalition with the grassrootsservative organization in georgia. we are going to be very competitive in the primary. we need to elect people to congress and two elective office that are not going to be in the pocket of big business, big corporation sponsors. they are going to say no to them we would a shame that send elected officials to washington dc that care more about appeasing their corporate you continue corporate cronyism and corporate welfare. they talk about our entitlement
9:02 pm
society and how we need to reform our welfare system and entitlement system. total agreement with that. but we also need to reform subsidies, stop corporate welfare and corporate subsidies, and we need to tell the government to stop picking winners and losers. subsidies are monopolies in the energy field are the governments ways of picking winners and losers and it's unconstitutional. we need to stop it. they claim to be principled, the when they have a decision between their principles and what their cap -- what their
9:03 pm
corporate benefactors one, they always go with their corporate benefactors instead of going and doing what is right for this country, and that has to stop. that is why big business -- the u.s. chamber of commerce has declared war on the tea party because we are saying no to corporate cronyism. we are saying no to corporate welfare, and we are telling them that needs to stop. been pickingt has winners and losers in the energy field since the 1940's. energy is one of the things most heavily subsidized out there. they need -- if you want to get energy underway, the solution would be cut out all energy subsidies. let the energies compete in the free market and let the free market decide what energy is best, not the government.
9:04 pm
if you go to the websites -- if you open secrets.org, have any doubt why a vote was cast, follow the money. jim demint left the senate and he said the government should stop picking winners and losers in the energy field. cut outduced a bill to all energy subsidies for coal, nuclear, wind, soldier, natural gas and he said the government needs to stop picking winners and losers and the free market needs to decide that. it never even made it to the floor or out of committee. you have to excuse me i have allergies. -- i can tell you
9:05 pm
that we have sent many whene to washington dc they are on the campaign trail, they are warriors. they are principled and they promised they will go to d.c. and be a voice for you. in many cases, once they get there and they start drinking , they turn who laid from warriors to wimps. and all of a sudden, they are biddinge business and of big corporations and their donors instead of doing what is right for this country. i encourage you to turn our theirng fathers pledge
quote
9:06 pm
lives on her, liberty and sacredness to each other, and i pledge that each and everyone in this room turn to your neighbors, make the same pledge, and yourur life's fortunes and your sacred honor to work to unseat rhino number one, lindsey graham in this next election. thank you. that will make a statement. we have gotten smart. and you have friends in the sisters inhers and different states are going to be coming and help you unseat senator graham. thank you.
9:07 pm
>> i would only quibble with one saying. the government doesn't pick winners and losers. expense losers at the of winners. it hasn't picked a winner yet, and the founding fathers did not make the federal government of venture capital firm. now, if we could get the $100 million that karl rove got last time and instead make it a buy in to washington dc, that would be productive. up next is a man i have interacted before with. he is an author. his name is trevor lowder. the enemies within. about thet talk enemies within? great to be here. look, it's great to be back in south carolina, the state that
9:08 pm
produced jim demint, one of my great heroes. and a state that has produced the people that are about to unseat lindsey graham. it is a very, very worthy goal. i will just say, i have been touring the company -- country for three months. days. been here 90 if i stay for 91, i get a free cell phone. i get health care. you know. ask me, why do i care about america? why do i come to this country from new zealand to do something in your country. i say there are two basic reasons. the first is simple. gratitude. my country was only saved in world war ii by the huge sacrifice of your fathers and uncles and grandfathers at the battles of guadalcanal.
9:09 pm
and then still resonates in my country today. in the bottom of the south pacific and people down there think we're safe, but look, folks, if your country goes on the direction it's in now of downgrading the military, china is moving into my region now. fiji is a client state. they are training the military. ago, the australian minister was up in china for talks and a top chinese general said to him now is the time for australia to choose. do you want an american godfather or a chinese godfather? if you are smart, you will choose china because we are the region. folks, around the world
9:10 pm
your allies are being forced to make a choice. countries like israel, great britain, germany, canada, japan, they are all basically freaking out because the leadership they see coming out of your white house, they see that your president seems to love the bad guys of the world more than he loves them. and that is causing huge instability folks. we have japan which is now rearming. they were never supposed to rearm after world war ii but they are now rearming because they cannot trust obama to protect them from north korea and china. look at how many of your allies climbed aboard when obama wanted go into syria. that shows where american prestige has gone.
9:11 pm
vladimir putin, the old kgb man, who spent most of his career trying to destroy your country, is now looked on as more of a statesman than your president. you have israel with its back to the wall, no friends left in the middle east, and they may be forced to take desperate measures to defend themselves, and those measures could put us into world war iii, and all because of your president, the man with the nobel peace prize in his trophy cabinet. so that's where it's going, folks. this isn't just about america. this is the free world at stake here. if america goes, we all go. not one free country will remain standing. iran andd china and north korea and nicaragua and regime'sthe islamic will carve up this planet amongst themselves. about costa rica,
9:12 pm
folks. don't even think about new zealand, because if you go, we all go. now, i have a book on the market. it's called the enemy is within. communists, socialists and progressives in the united states congress. its 750 pages. i vowed to make it smaller than the last one, but it is bigger because those bloody commies just kept coming. and i couldn't leave out jim clyburn. i couldn't leave out people like that. modern communism borrowed from the devil because the cleverest thing the devil ever did was to convince people he didn't exist. and what have the communists done?
9:13 pm
exist, and if they do, they are not a threat. well, they are a threat, folks, and they are in your congress. and the other thing the book is about is the other big secret of modern communism. it is not adam bomb spies or anything like that, it is the ability of a tiny, marxist, leninist harty to use the labor unions and the people under their control to influence the policy direction of your government. thisou were very lucky in country for a long time because your labor unions were controlled by hard-core anti-communist like george meany and lane copeland. today, 1995, that all changed because that was the year the democratic socialists in america, your largest marxist , took over the afl-cio. they took them over,
9:14 pm
they took over the democratic arty. and that was the point when the moderates like joe lieberman and people like that were no longer welcome. it is not the democratic party of harry truman anymore, folks, or even jfk. it is now the democratic party of marx and lenin. because that unions control that and the communists control the unions. they make a policy -- it might be comprehensive immigration reform, obamacare, cap and trade, green energy, whatever it is. they make it union policy and the unions make it democratic party policy. if you want to know what the democrats are going to do tomorrow, read the people's world today, the communist party paper, because what's in their paper today will be on the floor of your house tomorrow. that's how it works. that's how small groups of people -- probably less than
9:15 pm
20,000 card-carrying communists in your country -- that so they took control of the labor unions to take policy for more than 300 million people. people.ow they do it, i will give you an example. comprehensive immigration reform. now you have been told by people like mr. graham and fellow comrades like the man from arizona, mr. mccain, that this is going to be good for the gop, right? we give these people citizenship, voting rights, they are all going to start voting republican. yeah, right. and i have a bridge in brooklyn you might be interested in. theof this started back in 1950's with a man called bert corona, communist party member in california. he was the one who set up the immigrants rights movement. he set up a whole bunch of
9:16 pm
organizations through southern california and he got a whole bunch of people, several of whom are with us today. people like antonio vera goza, who was recently the mayor of los angeles -- antonio villa goza who recently was the mayor of los angeles. he is a marxist. cuba as a young man to pick sugarcane for cuba. he totally change the demographics of los angeles. the immigrants flooded in. comrades is the speaker of the california house. he was the man that put the dream act through. that gave illegals a whole bunch of rights in california. key comradesf the currentlypalazzo, head of the california labor movement. the massive labor
9:17 pm
union registration drives and get out the vote efforts that have turned california completely blue. all on the backs of illegal immigrants. this wasn't an accident because every one of those people were marxists and they had a plan. they look at your electoral that they they know can get control of the electoral college and that gives them the power to pick your president. once ak at california, reddish purple state. now it is solidly blue. even orange county, the most conservative region in your country wants, is now purple. all done deliberately by marxist using illegal immigrants, using voter registration drives that makes the latino community a plan. now, the head of the immigration
9:18 pm
reform movement in this country right now is a man called alistair medina. until recently the executive vice president of the sei union. he served on obama's immigration committee. driving the bill that went through your senate and he is working with people like luis gutierrez out of illinois to get a bill through your house. he is the man. now, to take you back a little bit to prove a point. which organization in this country 20 years ago was the most hard-core anti-illegal immigrant? which organization was constantly lobbying congress to increase penalties for anybody who employed illegal aliens? the unions. the afl-cio. the cause they saw -- because they saw illegal immigrants as
9:19 pm
unfair competition for their members. they would drive wages and conditions down. now today, which organization is leading the charge to legalize illegal immigrants? the unions. why the change? because before 1995, the unions were there to represent their workers. after 1995, when the dsa took they became an organization dedicated to socialist revolution. illegal immigrants are not good for unionized workers, but they are real good for socialist revolution. of that is why the afl-cio is now so hard-core pushing it. and the man who got the year does gotreverse does theunions to rivers -- and man who got the unions to reverse their policy was a
9:20 pm
member of the democratic socialists of america, a marxist. now, why does he wanted? he wants more members, but the real big deal is this. cat out of the bag at a progressive conference in washington dc two years ago. he got up in front of the comrades and said this, immigration reform is the number one priority for the progressive movement. in 2000 eight, latinos voted 78% and progressive candidates. if we give these people for give theseip -- people citizenship and voting rights, they will stand by our movement. this will give us at least 8 million more democratic party votes. this will give us a governing for the nextjust few election cycles but for the foreseeable future.
9:21 pm
in other words, a permanent democratic one-party state. if they get those 8 million votes, texas will go blue. even georgia will go blue. most of the southwest will go blue. if you take the electoral code -- electoral votes from texas and combine those with california, which they've already got, it makes it mathematically impossible for the republicans to ever win another election. it cannot be done. got traitors like lindsey graham and john mccain telling you this is good for the gop. it's good for the chamber of commerce, for now. its good for the unions, but ain't good for america and it certainly isn't good for republicans, and you have to repay -- you have to oppose it,
9:22 pm
folks. you have to stand against that. the bill would've been passed long ago without you guys. you know that. that brings me to a point. things are pretty tough in america right now. you could lose your freedom permanently. and this won't be like europe. this will be like venezuela and then cuba. this is a full-blown socialist revolution you are undergoing. don't make any mistake about that. depress youwant to because you are here for a good 2008.but i think back to they had the house, the white house, the senate. all the ducks were in a row. they had the agenda written out and they were going to take out middle america once and for all. they were going to transform
9:23 pm
your nation. but in 2009, something miraculous happened. you guys happened. you guys came out of left field -- or should i say right field -- ok? surprise.ok them by you took me by surprise. you came out of nowhere and you stood on your constitution and you marched, and you blog, and you agitated, and you e-mailed, and you phone bank, and you took the house back in 2010. it wasn't the gop. you know that you to get back, and had you not done that? we be now? everything the obama administration wanted in would be in now.
9:24 pm
those 8 million illegals would be voting. obamacare, green jobs, the whole scam would be in. obama knows that you stop them. progressive theerence last year, institute of policy studies that basically writes the obama platform. i went and mingled with the marxist because i want to know what they are talking about. you know what they were talking about all day? afford me. i got sick of it. you guys. tea party this. tea party that. you stopped us here. you stopped us there. they held us up. they did that. they talked about nothing else all day. nothing. you have to understand, you
9:25 pm
saved your country. where are you now? you have been let down, marginalized and criticized, and you are still fighting. where are you now? think back to 1976. you had the carter years. no, you had not had them yet. a man came out of california, ronald reagan, and he's stood for the values you stand for. he stood for the same things and he articulated them so well, and hundreds of thousands of people young and old got behind him. they loved his message. because you had been losing your freedom. that and soick of were you.
9:26 pm
and you got ronald reagan. and you are telling me he did not change this country for the better? ronald reagan was a pretty old guy. go around all the time and where my ronald reagan batch. i have had 16-year-old cost -- goss girls with weird haircuts come up to me and say wasn't he great? how do you think they would get along with gerald ford? not so good? the point is, young people love idealists and people who stand for something. that's why they love ron paul.
9:27 pm
you people put reagan into power and he did so much. right now, we are carter on steroids. we really are. everything carter screwed up, these people are doing deliberately. and they mean business. again, thereower will not be another turn for the republicans or any other conservative party ever. this is it. this is the turning point. , therethe next election is only one political force that can stop the democrats and take them out. and whether you like it or not, it's the gop. but the real important question is the character of that gop. now if they give you a fat boy ,rom new jersey or a jeb bush you're going to lose, right?
9:28 pm
you are going to lose. and even if they win, you still lose, because her aggressive is in rolls on. i think you people have the power to make something different happened. i can't pick your candidate, but this is what i would do if i was a man like ted cruz. ok? to win the next election, you need every single segment of that old reagan coalition less. lose thet afford to libertarians, the fiscal conservatives, the social conservatives, or the 2 million republicans who stayed home last toe, and you cannot afford lose the evangelical christians who didn't even vote.
9:29 pm
karl rove spout on his face and he blames you. what would i do if i was ted cruz or someone of that caliber? i would put that coalition together now. now, before chris christie or anyone else can get a head of steam up and blow things for you. you have all of these people out there who are waiting for inspiration, who are wanting to believe in something. if i were ted cruz, i would go out there and start taking my team. i would go to someone like allen west and say i want you as my vp. libertarians,se those young libertarians, i
9:30 pm
would go to someone like rand paul and i would say i am going to make you secretary of the treasury and you can do what you dam well want to the federal reserve and the irs. and for the energy voters, as palin, secretary of energy. drill, baby, drill, open it up. jim brydon stein secretary of defense. john bolton, secretary of state. ambassador to the united nations, no one. ok? dr. ben carson, secretary of health and human services.
9:31 pm
mark 11, attorney general. voters, theytian care about the education of their children more than almost anything. they love the homeschooling. i would say to them, you vote for me and i will make mr. david barton secretary of education. now, would you guys get motivated by a team like that? do you think it could win? would you be in c lose and get all of -- enthusiastic and get all of your friends and get wound up about something like that? and is it possible? it's possible, folks, and you can make it happen. behind the best
9:32 pm
candidates and take no prisoners with the gop. you get in there and take their they back and make sure give them your team and a team you can be inspired by. imagine, folks, if you had people like that -- all those people are out there, the proven leaders. the grassroots are out there. there have never been more people who understand the u.s. constitution and american exceptionalism since the revolution. the leaders are there. the grassroots are there. if you can put them together, you can win this thing. only doonly win it, not what reagan did, you can go way beyond reagan and actually restore the constitution of your country and put the federal government back in its place.
9:33 pm
i know folks, this is not easy. there are no guarantees of success, but i am asking for two more years. because if you give it everything you've got for two more years, the very least you're going to get is the ability to look your children in the eye and say i gave it everything. is that not worth something? and if you win it folks, you will not just give them the country you inherited, you will give them a country even better. is that not worth fighting for? i'm just about finished. i know how tough it is. i have been involved in practical politics, and you have
9:34 pm
a big job on your hands. i was in morristown new jersey and i went around the big were 10,000 troops camped through the winter of 1780. by the end of the winter, there , the officers reading their dogs and the troops were eating their boots. we are in crucial times and we have to fight. they fought then and we have to fight now. i just want to say, you all have a decision to make. do i work and fight or do i give up? yourewards are huge if fight. the penalties are terrible if you don't. back at those founding fathers and we can see their place in history. think that when they were starving in morristown they could see the amazing country they were creating? they didn't care.
9:35 pm
they just cared about the next meal. but look what they achieved. we can see their place in history looking back from here. history? your place in there will be some kid in 200 years in front of a high school class in this town, a civics class, and he will say something like this to his friends, hey guys, we studied history. we studied american revolutions. that second one, when everybody thought america was done, people stood up against all the odds, they took back the constitution and they restored the public, and they gave us the liberty and prosperity we enjoy today. yes what, folks, i did some .amily research i went back to my family background and found that my great, great, great, great grandma and family were in the
9:36 pm
9:37 pm
we are going to have a question-and-answer session with trevor. also, a housekeeping note, there is a water station just outside where the elevators and stairs are so you don't dehydrate. yes sir. oh, you're up? sorry, bob. up next is this gentleman here, bob benj is from the convention states project and he is -- g to talk about >> good afternoon. i am the south carolina state director for the national convention of states project. i have been teaching and speaking on the constitution for the last 15 years, and inevitably, whenever i do that, i always end up relating back to an event that takes place at the virginia ratification convention in june of 1788. at that convention, there was raucous and rancorous debate going on between two factions. you probably know this already, the federalists and the
9:38 pm
anti-federalists. you probably well know that the federalist were those trying to work on the amendments for the articles of confederation, and those folks understood that there needed to be a stronger central government. today we recoil at that, but that's what they understood because of what the articles were. the anti-federalists also understood the need for a stronger federal government, but they were extremely leery of investing too much power in the central government. people tell me that politics need to go back to a time when it was more civil. you look back in history, it never happened. there was huge rancorous debate at that convention. as a matter of fact, it was so and edmundrick henry randolph almost had a duel. cooler heads prevailed and that didn't happen. but a man named george nicholas stood up in the midst of that rancor and said something profound. it is so profound i have it on the back of my business card.
9:39 pm
he said an enlightened citizenry will never suffer what was established for its security to be perverted to inactive tierney. -- to an act of tierney. when you look at that statement that's on the board right now, you see two words that stand out. an enlightened citizenry. i don't have to tell you this. you are here. the enlightened citizenry. we are not teaching the constitution. we are not teaching separation and we have an unenlightened or -- let me say ignorant -- and i don't mean that in a nasty way, they are just unenlightened. an enlightened citizenry will never let what was established for their security be converted
9:40 pm
to an act of tyranny. people say to me bob, if they are not obeying now? why would they obey any changes to it? that is a good question, but there is a misunderstanding about what is going on. we know our elected officials are disobeying their oaths to read we know that. how are they able to get away with it? submit to you that for 100 years our constitution has been pulled, twisted, contorted and radically perverted, and the reason those guys can get away with disobeying their oath to the constitution is because of what has happened. the courts today -- when i teach the constitution, i teach constitutional law. i teach original intent. that is the only way to interpret the constitution. i take them back to the founding
9:41 pm
documents, the federalist papers and the notes from the ratification conventions themselves to madison's notes at the convention in philadelphia. we know what the original intent is. it's not hard to determine. it's right there. but we don't do that anymore. we have acted as judges -- and not just the judges, but those that place them there. we talked about one of our senators who has done that frequently a little while ago. get away withto that. we know what the problem is. the federal government is out of control and will not relinquish power. i will try to be respectful of my time, but i have to get this then. now look at what is happening. all three branches of federal government are attacking state sovereignty. i would go so far as to submit to you that the three branches of government are in collusion with one another today. as a matter of fact, the two parties are in collusion with
9:42 pm
one another. we have a huge problem. you know about the out-of-control spending and debt, but let me show you this. we talked about the federal agencies under the executive branch. i have a picture posted by mike lee, one of the good guys, about a week ago on his facebook page. the 80,000 pages added to the federal register last year. they call them regulations, but they carry the force of statutory law. we have federal agencies set up in the executive branch in violation of the constitution. the department of energy, the environmental protection agency, the department of education. david barton and there. i would abolish the department of education. agencies -- honest people can dispute whether we need some of these functions, but here is what you need to understand.
9:43 pm
faceless bureaucrats behind closed doors are writing regulations that are laws that have no accountability to me and you. of the one section one united states constitution says all legislative power will be vested in the congress. when congress sets up agencies under the executive -- and they like to do this. they are glad it is done because then you can't blame them when the president takes his pen and passes an executive order. that, to me, is the fourth branch of the federal government. it is enormous. it is out of control. what does this mean? the cold hard truth is that washington, d.c. will never voluntarily relinquish meaningful power. we have to work to elect good people to federal office. we have great candidates running against lindsey graham. we have a provision that has been given to us but we have to open up another front. the time has come for the states
9:44 pm
the citizens to be proactive in taking this power back. as the a solution as big problem. if you are here today, you know the problem is enormous. we're not fooling ourselves. we need a solution that is big and what i want to tell you is the framers, from 226 years ago, are screaming to us. provisions inhe the constitution. i know there is fear among us, but there are two methods to propose amendments to the united states constitution. you probably know this one. all 27 amendments to the federal constitution have been done via this mode right here. article five. you know it. two thirds of both houses propose amendments. and they send those amendments out to the states. send them to the 50 states, or if you listen to the president, 57. and they say that 38 states must
9:45 pm
ratify those proposed amendments for them to become part of the constitution. but there is a second mode that is almost identical to the first mode. the legislators apply for an article five convention. if you look at the chart, it is almost exactly the same, except washington, d.c. is not involved. it is an end run. any conservative should before and running washington, d.c., but when you look at this, it is the same thing. if we are successful to get a convention called, the convention cannot change one word of text in the united states constitution. they can only propose amendments, just like congress. those are then sent to 50 states and three force would have to ratify them. consequently, 13 states could leave them alone and nothing
9:46 pm
would happen. but here's what's even more important. if you want to understand article five, you must look at the history. when i teach the constitution and limited government, i teach from a biblical worldview. i have a course called christian world studies. our founders operate from a biblical worldview. i would submit to you that the vast majority were bible believing christians. of aof them had much more biblical worldview than most christians do today because they were brought up under it. the bible is have a look learned how to read peter -- is how they learn how to read. they understood the depravity of man and that powers had to be separated. but this is very important. this right here. the philadelphia convention that took up the drafting of the united states constitution went from may until september of
9:47 pm
1797. through that summer, around june 11 -- up until june 11 was when they got to drafting an amendment process for the constitution. at that point, article five was drafted and had only the first mode i showed you a while ago, whereby only the congress could propose amendments. and george mason stood up on june 11 and said wait a minute. hold on. if the national legislature is the only way to propose amendments, should the national ,egislature become oppressive then the people will have no recourse. i think i got cut short a little bit, deny? 11, you get to september two days before the convention ends, george mason stands up again and says listen, if the people do not have a process.
9:48 pm
if the government becomes abusive and oppressive, lest it come to violence, the people need a recourse. was the to you that providential hand of god putting that into the constitution to give us a way forward. the convention of states process is a national effort to build a grass-roots machine in at least 40 states. can i please finish this? we know there are 50 states. the president says 57. we're shooting for 40. introduce identical bills for an article five application and call for a convention of states for the exact same subject rather than a particular amendment. i can talk to you more about this later about that. but we want to propose amendments to limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government. the convention of states has a completely -- has an extremely strong grassroots movement.
9:49 pm
mark meckler is the cofounder. he was the founder of national tea party patriots in 2009. he knows grassroots. his partner is a guide by the name of michael ferris. schooler.e i have been homeschooling my kids for 16 years. two of them have graduated from college. michael ferris was the founder of the homeschooling association 30 years ago this year. he has stood up and fought in the trenches. this guy knows grassroots efforts. he is also one of the finest constitutional scholars in the nation and i am proud to call him a mentor of mine. the plan is to build a viable people -- to organize i am going to finish this, i promise you. here is the meat and potatoes. come to the table on the second floor and talk to us. i am trying to put a point of contact, a district captain --
9:50 pm
many of them are here. can you hold your hands up real quick? thisof them are here weekend. we're going to put one in every district and drive our bill through. we were the first state to introduce this application on december 3. virginia followed. georgia followed. and the good state of alabama last week introduced it. 14 cosponsors. bill taylor was the lead sponsor. we have a bill. we want to push that through. , we downstairs and please want to answer your questions. if you are honest with at ourves, when you look federal government, we are staring down -- romans 13 tells us if the government bears a sword -- we are staring down the gun barrel of a runaway federal congress. the only thing wrong with that
9:51 pm
graphic is that the needle is not all the way over. please visit www. convention of states.com and come talk to us on the second floor. >> thank you, bob. i guess he is bypassing the room and going to the second floor. the room is right there. follow the gentleman. we are streaming this live in english and in spanish. the address is bit. l y/s etp conventions. -- s ctp convention. spread the word on that on your
9:52 pm
9:53 pm
need to goges and beyond these walls. the reason we are doing this in english and spanish is because the importance of hispanics in the outcome of u.s. elections cannot be ignored anymore. i was supposed to talk for 20 minutes, but i gave half of my time to frank because i want you to listen to him. everybody asks this question. why latinos voted the way they voted. there are two reasons. and think about this because this is the case. one, the media. we don't have media representation in the united states. everybody knows that. when it comes to hispanic media, it is even worse. it's time to change the way we do politics.
9:54 pm
to include hispanic people from day one in order to win elections. it is very important that you remember that they don't want to teach hispanics or educate hispanics. hispanics need to know that one out of four live in poverty in the united states. hispanics need to know that the unemployment rate is more than the hispanic population. hispanics need to know that president obama said this is not a christian nation. ago whena few days president obama said i have a pen and i have a phone? i wonder where the pen and the phone was during the benghazi attack. i wonder where the pen and the when christians are
9:55 pm
killed all over in the middle east. 24 million hispanics were registered to vote this past election. only half of them voted. that gives you an idea how important it is, this issue. we need to reach out to hispanics because they need to know what we are facing right now. if we don't reach hispanics, sega by two presidential, state and local elections. more than 50 million hispanics living in the united states. a big part of the hispanic vote is going to get bigger and bigger every year. it's time for you to realize that we need you to do something about it. otherwise, it is going to be worse and worse. think about this.
9:56 pm
80% of hispanics voted for president obama. that was never seen in american history before. about the reason , think about , the huffington post. they are all in bed together. they make sure hispanics don't know what they go to vote. if they don't hear the news from -- one day, someone asked me what is this tea party about? why are you a tea party guy?
9:57 pm
in those days, i used to have a card with me and i would say i believe in the tea party. they would say why? your latino. they are racist. they are anti-immigration. i would say they are not. i am going to tell me what the tea party is about and you tell me which one you don't agree. limited government. national security. lower taxation. control the borders. i went one by one until i finished. and i say, can you please tell me, tell me from your heart if you don't believe anything i say. and it was a woman, and she couldn't say one thing. anything you don't say , it means you agree. now, if you don't agree with this, you shouldn't be living in this country, period.
9:58 pm
i encourage you to send this message all over the country. severingn we are so on -- the reason we're sponsoring this is because we want this message to go out as never before. think about the elections in new jersey. christie won the election with more than 50% of the hispanic vote. new jersey. a republican candidate. you know why he didn't? it?id becausee campaigned -- he campaigned heavily in spanish and where hispanics live. the minute he saw he was going to get 35% of the vote he knew he would lose the election. he got some of the worst
9:59 pm
hispanic support in the last 20 or 30 years. the reason i am telling you this winecause we can not elections without hispanic support and hispanics need to know what the tea party is about. hispanics need to know what this administration is doing. we moved here because america still is the best country in the world. we don't come here looking for another hugo chavez. reason weactly the escaped removed from our countries. and it is up to you to make sure these people know. we are christians. we are conservatives. but they are telling us that the ,ea party is racist anti-immigration, this and that. and you all know this is propaganda.
