they are mutually inconsistent. or give up on your business to stay true to your faith, that should not be a question. it's not something an american business has to answer. shouldn't force people to buy things what they don't want and go against the religious morals. some would say that you can have have definite detention of american citizens an. remember what martin luther king wrote from the jail in birmingham? binding on a makes

minority but does not make binding on themselves. it was a debate with one of the senators. you're going to take an american citizen and send them to guantánamo bay without a trial? they are dangerous. it begs the question, who gets to decide? these are people that might be terrorists. multiple guns in the household. a raise of fans but people might be embarrassed. ammunition. in cash.o pay nin

me my son is 18 years old. the wrong place at the wrong time, he always wanted to be in the military. he got caught. the punishments are out of this world. was given 55 years in prison for marijuana sales. 55 years in prison, you can kill somebody and be out and 12. growu want our movement to and add new people, the people and the powers that be say to dilute your message. become democrat light. we need to be more bold with our message but we have to reach out to people that have not been listening. the door is not going to open up

to the african-american community until we have something to offer. your kids and grandkids aren't perfect either. you get a better lawyer. it may not be part of our group here. besides, we are the party of justice. we need to be that party of justice. the unemployed. anybody here been unemployed? -- ady have a top time tough time? there are members that have

suffered and had those problems but we have the show concern for people out of work. we have to have concern for those people and have ideas. guess what? the president's ideas are not working. 20 million people are out of work. black unemployment is twice white unemployment. 3.7 million women have been added to the rolls of poverty. maybe it's their side. if we want to grow our movement, -- i thought the bank bailouts were a horrible idea. sending myeel like money to a guy that made $100 million a year working on wall

street. and somehow me and middle america, i am supposed to send my money to bail out these bankers. that is part of why the tea party started. they were frustrated with republicans and giving up on the democrats. are frustrated on republicans voting for the bank bailout. there is a bigger working than an honors class. i want to tell the workers of america that we are on their side. the president keeps offering you free stuff. more unemployment insurance. when is the last time that we created millions of jobs? it was under ronald reagan.

forwardld reagan come and say, let's just cut taxes for low income people? he said let's cut everyone's taxes. that's what rich people pay. more revenue came in in fact. people were carter and make more money. more revenue comes in. say,n't let the democrats richower the taxes for people. anyone here ever work for a poor person? we are all interconnected and we've got to get beyond this class warfare. we can't let them beat us up -- how manyave to

people have their policies employed? barely growing. you never get out of poverty. the government steals the value of your dollar. you have a little bit more. the gas costs more and you can go on vacation. all of this occurs from big government. $17 trillion worth of debt. losing onesay we are million jobs a year because of the burden of this debt. we are on a precipice. the time approaches. i remember seeing patients in my and looking at my money

market account. my definition of panic is when you are worried about your money market account losing its value. i still worry about the fundamentals of that. our movement has never been about the plutocrats. the other side paints it is that. will let the media know we are the middle class. why isn't he helping us? [applause] the president is simply loading more people in the wagon. these are not bad people in the wagon. they are people out of work and suffering. he debate needs to be not about who cares more, it needs to be about what policy will help people more. new hampshire, send me your money, i will give you some back later doesn't work.

policy ism with the if i come to new hampshire and i take your money, here is $100,000, go create jobs for people. nine times out of 10, i will pick the wrong person because the marketplace chooses. think about solyndra. president took $500 million from the middle class and gave it to one of the richest people in our country. that doesn't sound like it's good for the middle class. the president says a lot of things but doesn't quite get around to doing them. phone? got a cell you are under surveillance. the president says he's not listening, he's just looking. even that's not exactly true.

they occasionally are. if we want to grow our movement bigger, the message resonates with some young people. young kids on the right and on the left, this message resonates. they don't like our message, they just don't have any money. you have to talk to people about things they are concerned with. thosed of listening to supposedly in charge of the party that want to dilute the message, we keep our core message.

they take it to people. it we will be the dominant party again. i love the image of that. we need to proclaim our message with the passion of patrick like a man coming over the .ill singing with optimism no matter what walk of life you are. we once again proclaim our message like a man coming over the hill singing, we will be the dominant party. is senator ted cruz. [applause]

>> wow. [applause] >> god bless new hampshire. [applause] afp.less wow. each ofilled to be with you today. thank you for that incredibly warm welcome.

blessed to me are have two little girls at home. caroline and catherine. caroline is five and catherine is three. indeed. for every one of you who are parents, you know god makes every child very different. is the essence of sweetness. she is just a sweet, sweet little girl. rascal. is a , heidi had those girls up in d.c. one weekend. a beautiful fall day. we decided to show the girls mount vernon. we are driving down the george washington parkway. the trees are turning. they are red and orange and yellow. we are driving down and caroline is sitting behind me kicking the back of my seat like she always does.

catherine is sitting on the other side. caroline asks her sister, catherine, what do you want to do when you grow up? catherine says, i want to work in the u.s. senate. i want to work with daddy. boring. says, that's we are going to be rock stars instead. zinger. tosses out the besides, daddy will be dead by then. [laughter] that's a real conversation. i'm sitting there like, hello, i'm right in front of you. de me wonderake me if maybe caroline had been speaking with republican

leadership. [laughter] >> you are the leadership >> "washington journal" continues! [applause] even more in portly, you are the leadership. there is nothing as scary in washington as what i'm going to face tonight. sext week, caroline turne six. when i get off the airplane, i'm going to a princess sleepover party. [laughter] last week, caroline told me, daddy, you are not invited because you are not a girl. i said, sweetheart, if it is in my house, daddy is always

invited. she proceeded to put her hands on her hips and say, fine, then we are going to play attack the daddy. in a few hours, i'm going to walk in my home to be greeted by 11 six-year-old girls dressed as disney princesses try to tackle me. let me ask for your prayers that i might see tomorrow morning. thrilled to be back here. to be back with so many friends new hampshire. i'm thrilled to encourage -- you all are here because there is a sense of urgency to what's happening in this country. you all are here because you understand that this is not in or near retirement politics. archedeats we are facing

her neck. ie most common thing hear is, ted, i'm scared. i'm scared for the direction of this country. i'm scared for my kids and grandkids. we're bankrupting the greatest country in the history of the world. profoundly optimistic. together, we will turn this nation around. [applause] let me tell you three things we need to do to turn this nation around. number one, we need to stand for liberty. [applause] liberty has never been more under assault that it is right now. this administration has tried to

go down the bill of rights and violate each one of them. irs that doesn't respect the first amendment. it is going after individual citizens saying, tell us what books you are reading. tell us the content of your prayers. federal government has no business asking any american is the content of our prayers. [applause] i do kind of wish the answer had been, forgive them, father, for they know not what they do. you look at the second amendment. -- you don't need a punchline. [laughter]

you just say his name. the next time you're at a party, ,alk up to someone and just say "joe biden" and close your mouth. they will crack up laughing. [laughter] said, "if anybody attacks your house, go outside with a double barrel shotgun and fire both into the air. ." that is very good advice. if it so happens you are being attacked by a flock of geese. [laughter] look at the fourth and fifth amendments. our right to privacy. how many of you have your cell phones? please like to ask you, leave your cell phones on.

i want to make sure president obama hears every word i have to say to them. [laughter] you look at the 10th amendment with the federal government trying to intrude into the prerogatives of the states all across the board. things like trying to set educational standards. we need to repeal common core. [applause] and then there's the pattern of lawlessness in this administration. ignoring law after law after law. if this president does not agree with the law, he refuses to enforce it. whether immigration laws or welfare laws or marriage laws or drug laws. -- pleasebama care take obama care! [laughter] 30 times this president has

simply unilaterally changed the law. no authority in the law for that. how many of you will remember sixth grade civics? your member schoolhouse rock how a bill becomes a law? apparently the president missed that tday. we have never had a president asserted the authority to ignore and unilaterally changed the law . this should trouble everybody. anybody who cares about rule of law and the constitution. when you have a president who can pick and choose which laws to follow and which laws to ignore, you no longer have a president. [applause] to stand for

liberty. number two, we need to stand for growth and opportunity. [applause] officeer one priority in from the day i was elected, bringing back jobs and economic growth. the reason is simple. that is the top priority of the xans i am proud to represent and the priority of americans all caps this country. you want to know why people are frustrated at washington? the biggest divide we have in this country is not between democrats and republicans. it is between entrenched politicians in both parties in washington and the american people. [applause] all across this country, people

are frustrated going, what is wrong with them? they get elected and go to washington and they stop listening to us. they stop listening. the top priority of the american people at his jobs and economic growth. in the year i have been in harry reid senate, we have not spent a minute talking about jobs and the number of. it is simply not a priority. aboute not talk fundamental tax reform. we should abolish the irs. [applause] for five years, we have been trapped in the great stagnation under president obama. his policies are not working. the rich and powerful, those who walk the corridors of power are

getting fat and happy. economic obama agenda. the top one percent the president loves to demagogue are in the higher share of our national income since 1920. nothing happened after 1928. [laughter] the people who have been hurt the most by the obama administration are the most vulnerable among us. young people come hispanics, african-americans, single moms. people who are struggling to climb the mer economic ladder. i think of all of the issues we face from the perspective of my dad. 57 years ago, my dad fled cuba. and torturedrison and beaten almost to death in a cuban jail. he came to america at age 18, fling the batista regime.

he could not speak in the spirit he had $100 so and was underwear . i don't advise caring money in your underwear. [laughter] dishes, job washing making $.50 an hour. he worked seven days a week and paid his way through school and went on to start a small business and to work towards the american dream. policies -- myhe father was still washing dishes today, the odds are very high he would've lost his job because of the 1.7 trillion dollars in new taxes from this administration. because of crushing regulations that are hammering small businesses. small businesses generate two thirds of new jobs in our economy. it is kids like my dad were the ones bearing the brunt, getting hammered by the obama

economic agenda. had been lucky enough to not lose his job, the odds are overwhelming he would've had his hours forcibly reduced to 28-29 hours a week. you cannot pay her bills or theater kids or pay your way through college on 20 hours week. the reason we should support is it is foundational to opportunity. the opportunity of everyone to achieve the american dream. [applause] i think every republican should have two words tattooed on their hands. growth and opportunity. i'm so inspired by you all, i might get an eagle tattooed on my chest. [laughter] [applause] exactly. leads to my third and final point. how do we turn this country around? empower the people.

[applause] i am powerfully optimistic and hopeful because of each of you. the answers are not going to come from washington. re is nothing new under the sun. we are we are right now is early like the late 1970's. you had jimmy carter in the white house and you had the same failed economic policy. out-of-control spending and taxes and regulation. producing the exact same misery and stagnation. you had the same reckless foreign policy and the same naïveté making the world a much more dangerous place. we sawoss this country, a grassroots movement of millions of men and women who came together and became the reagan revolution. that did not come from washington. washington despised ronald

reagan. it came from the american people. the reason i am optimistic it is, i am blessed to have the opportunity serving the senate to travel across the country. at the same thing is happening all over this country. -- men andwaking up women who have never been involved in politics are looking up saying, what is happening to this country? we're losing our freedom. we're losing the future for our kids and grandkids. let's get back. let's get back to the free market principle. let's get back to the constitutional liberties that this nation was built on. [applause] i'm spending my time, not focused on washington, not trying to convince washington of anything because they are not listening. ist i'm trying to do instead

help energize and mobilize the american people. all of you who said you had cell phones before, if you are willing to come together and join a grassroots army, i would ask each of you with your cell phones to text the word "growth" to the number 33733. 33733, text the word "growth." we will not turn the country we are able to energize and mobilize millions of americans to hold washington accountable. i don't know if your member the movie, the usual suspects. where they talk about the greatest trick the devil ever played. to convince the world he did not exist. lie that the media tries to play is to convince us

that the american people don't believe in the values this country was built on. it is simply not true. democrats, ifto you listen to the media, although i repeat myself -- [laughter] [applause] they will tell you there is no hope. they will tell you we cannot turn this around. they will tell you that you can't stop obama care. they will tell you that kathleen sibelius resigning is a result of obama care's success. true, i hope every democrat will follow her path and resign as well. [applause]

you want to see the power of the grassroots? last summer and last fall, millions of americans rose up and said they don't want the disaster. we don't want the suffering that is coming from obama care. , so many millions of americans say that we elevated the debate. where are we right now as a result of your efforts? at hispresident obama is lowest approval rating is ever been in six years in office. [applause] today, obama care is at its lowest approval rating it has ever been since the day it was signed into law. [applause] you want to know where the country is? it is often a good barometer to

look at the late-night comics. said, "so,jay leno president obama tol called me ad said, if you like your job, you can keep it." [laughter] [applause] a couple of weeks later, jay went back to the same theme. ,, holidays are coming up, thanksgiving -- the first thanksgiving, the pilgrims said to the indians, if you like your land, you can keep it." [laughter] [applause] let me tell you something. as a result of the men and women in this room and as the result of millions of men and women standing up and saying obama care is a disaster, it is not working, it is hurting millions of americans, i am convinced we

are going to repeal every single word of obama care. [applause] it will not come from washington. it will come from each of you. new hampshire is the live free or die state. still, and forever. [applause] texas, that is a sentiment we can relate to. let me tell you something that my father has said many times. "i saw freedom taken

away and cuba. i will die before he let it happen again in this country." [applause] that is why we are here. that is why you are here. to keep spreading the message of freedom to your friends and family and neighbors. , together,y to say let's come together and get back to the free market principle and get back to the constitutional liberty. get back to the incredible america offers.a ♪ i am humbled and thrilled to stand with each and every one of you as we work together to bring america and work together to restore that shining city on a hill that is the united states of america. thank you and god bless you! [applause] friend, if you do not already

know him, governor mike huckabee. [applause] >> thank you very much. thank you, cliff. thank you all for being here today. i appreciate it. i realize i am what they call the parking lot bigger. that means that i am the guy on the program at the end so those of you are really in a hurry to get to the parking lot are able to do so. so i am totally aware that. thank you for staying. i truly was afraid it would come to an empty room. you see i have heard me speak before and i would not stay. i will tell you now. i'm so happy you are. this has been quite a day. i left new york. taped my show, that hopefully will get out in time to watch tonight. i said, hopefully you will go watch that tonight. there you go. [applause]

in addition to that, i had a real frightening thing happened today. i lost my iphone. and that is scary. how much stuff that you got on your phone? a lot. your contacts, e-mails. i panicked. then i realized exactly what i could do. i called the nsa. they told me exactly where was. -- where it was. they were able to restore my e-mails, voicemails, everything. good to go, folks. all set. several years ago during my tenure as governor i was participating in what was an annual event, reading week. i would go to in elementary school and read to the students. and i was going to the georgia elementary school in springdale read to theing to first-graders, but before that i had a science fair to attend at the local junior high and then over to elementary school for the reading. the science fair ran late, so by

the time i got to the ellen driscoll, the principal was standing at the door wringing your hands. we have been waiting. the kids are ready for you. so they grabbed me and rushed me down the hall. took me into the first-rate class. and they had it all setup up. the kids were on the floor seated filmore style. for those of you old enough to know what that means. they were all seated. and i go and they put me in one of those first-rate -- first grade chair. they hand me the book. i thought, i do not want to walk in here and be so abrupt and not have a little time to connect with them. so i thought, let me at least warm them up a little. it was near halloween, so i said, anyone of you want to tell me what you're going to be for halloween? talk.ery kid wanted to so i call on somebody. they would answer. give me some wonderful thing about the cost of. and then somebody else.

there was one little girl in the front. i noticed she was just like this. you know how there are some kids, and they're not like this. this. she was so intense. i thought, she cannot keep that energy up. so i called on everybody but her. look, i just wanted to see, could she do it? sure enough there she never lost the intensity. i called on the all the other kids and finally, i said, yes, sweetheart. did you want to tell you something? with that kind of enthusiasm she probably wanted to say i want you to know my mother thinks you're the best governor we ever had and she voted for you. in my mind, that is what i was thinking. i later found out the little girl's name was ashley. i said, what would you like to say? as serious as she could, she said, governor, we are already late for lunch. thinking, this kid does not

ear that the r governor of the state is parked in one of these little chairs. and of all those goals in the entire state, i picked hers to come read to her. no, it was wednesday, and it was corndog day at georgia elementary. and the only thing she was interested in was making sure she got to the cafeteria before the corndog scott called. my staff made fun of me for months over that. but i've often thought about it and here's what it taught me. that little girl going to school that day did not think whole lot other than she wanted to get to the cafeteria on time so her corndog would still be warm. wish left there thinking i that every kid in america would only have to worry about the warmth of their corndog. i wish the biggest worry that kid will ever have in her life is getting to the cafeteria on time. but the harsh reality?

i'm afraid that there are a lot of kids in america that will have to worry a whole lot more than about the temperature of the corndogs. if we are not careful, and i say this from the depths of my heart, the things that that little girl will worry about will be far worse than my having to worry about the duck and cover days of the early 1960's when we thought the russians were going to come and drop a bomb on us. the fact is, we are worried today not just about what someone externally will do to us . i have never been so worried in my life about what my own government is already doing to me and doing to the little girls who are sitting in an elementary school. [applpausause] of theirle lose sight landmarks, and if you've ever tried to follow your gps and you lose the signal, you do not have a waypoint anymore. what happens? you're lost.

dayse are way past the when we pulled over and asked someone for directions. and ask women pull over for directions anymore. men never have. gps does not work, we are utterly disoriented and lost, because we have lost the landmarks. we have nothing with which to navigate. m concerned about is that we are rapidly losing the very landmarks of the liberty in this country that has been the hallmark of what we have once the mostwas important thing for a little girl like ashley and her first grade class. the land marks of our country -- pretty simple once. our founders when they declared their independence from the mother country. i want you to think about what they did. what absolutely audacious behavior was it that made them pull the muskets off

their mantels and take on the strength of the most well- equipped, well-trained and well financed army in the world of his time and decide that a bunch of merchants and politicians, preachers and farmers could take musketsarmy with their that were better designed for hunting varmints than it was for challenging king george's and credit will force? -- incredible force? but what they believed was that living their lives free, living in liberty and having their children, being able to say what they wanted to say, to think what they wanted to think, to live the way they wanted to live, where they wanted to live and to do what they wanted to do was more valuable than life itself, and they were willing to put everything on the line. everything. her own blood on the line. to be free. that's who we are! that's what this country is all about in its origins.

when they broke away, they made the statement. we hold these truths to be self-evident. so obvious that we should not have to state them, but they did anyway. and thank god they did. are createdus equal and endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, among these life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. those landmarks, we have lost our country. and i tell you today, i am a whole lot more worried about losing the landmarks than i am about ashley getting her corndog. today, federal agents are pointing rifles and american citizens in an escalation of a standoff over a man who for 20 years has graced his cattle on some land the state owns. i'm not here to jump in on the middle of whether cliven bundy

ought to pay the state or pay anybody for the chance for his cows to eat grass. here is what i suggest -- that there is something incredibly wrong when the government believes that some blades of grass that a cow is eating is thean egregious affront to government, that we would literally put a gun in a citizens face and threatened to shoot him over it. here is what i would have to ask -- [applause] is this government more eatingted in some cows grass and nevada then they are as to why brian terry was murdered with guns that are government provided by drug dealers in mexico? can somebody help me understand that?

is this government more concerned about a few hundred head of cattle grazing on some land than they are as to why for americans were murdered in benghazi and nobody answered the phone at 3:00 in the morning? the threats and affronts to our liberty today are so incredibly sprite -- frightening. university, a speaker that was invited to receive an honorary degree, a speaker who was named by time magazine as one of the most 100 and one to people in the world for her stance against radical islam and the horrible treatment of women, including female genital noodle asia and -- g enital mutilation.

you would think that they would like that. a few people complained and brandeis. they disinvited the speaker and made fools of themselves. fools of themselves. the unitedbe that in states of america the idea of freedom of speech meant that we wanted more people to come to public square to express an opinion. today, like things that we have seen in brandeis, with the idea that -- her seat on the drop box board is being challenged because somebody does not like the fact that she had the same position on the war in iraq that hillary clinton did. pushed outmozilla of his position because he had the same position in 2008 on proposition 8 in california that hillary clinton had, that bill clinton had, that joe biden claimed to have. do we want an america in which instead of having free speech we

simply have a few forms of speech that are carefully protected by the radical left, and if you do not agree with them, it is not just that they want to put their voices to be louder. they want to shut yours down. freedom of speech in this country. that for which those men grabbed those muskets off the mantle. meanver -- did not ever that we would have fewer voices. it was not that we could not dissent, it was that we could. whether you agree with the opinions are not. -- or not. gosh, i am beginning to think there is more freedom in north korea sometimes than there is in the united states. when i go to the airport i have to get in the surrender position. people but hands all over me. and i have to provide photo i.d. in a couple of different forms and prove that i am really not going to terrorize the airplane. want to go vote, i do not need it thing. all i got to do is show up and

i can give them anybody's name and that is ok. but again, the president reminded us yesterday, there is no voter fraud. i just like to show up in the white house and say i would like to look around. you have an appointment? no, and i do not have a photo id, either. i figured if i can vote without one, i ought to be able to come in there and look around without one, too. the landmarks of our liberty ought to be protected, celebrated, and this should not be an ideological issue. who agreesot one with very many things the left foot out, but i think they ought to be able to express their opinions. it gives me a great deal more confidence and comfort in my own. when i hear there's i realize, my gosh, my sounds a whole lot better than the. i love it when they talk. .

but the fact is they do not love it when we talk.they do not want us to talk . you know why? because when the lights turn on, roaches, theyhe run for cover. that's why. [applause] today our freedoms are threatened by government agencies like the criminal enterprise formally known as the internal revenue service that operates with a heavy-handed, unbelievable power that is able to crush any citizen, any organization. the one type of entity in america where you are guilty until you prove yourself not to be guilty. basic system of jurisprudence which says you are innocent until somebody else with the burden of proof proves beyond a reasonable doubt that you're guilty. one of the reasons i'm such a

strong supporter of the fair tax is because once and for all it would rid us of the irs and it would make it that the irs and the entire federal government would have nothing to do with what i earn. they would not know. and it is none of their business. only when i spend the money should they be able to get anything from it. not when i earn it. they should not be penalizing productivity. our founders would be shocked if they came back today to see what has happened, because they never intended the federal government would get very big. they were so intent on that. that they wrote amendments to the constitution just to make sure we got it right. and every one of the bill of it diddid one thing -- nothing, not one thing at all prohibit what a citizen can do. in every one of the bill of rights, is limited what the government could give. do.ould

today, we as citizens are being curtailed by the bill of rights, told we cannot do when that was never the intent. the bill of rights tells the government what is restrictions are. if there was any doubt about it, the 10th amendment was written to say if it is not expressly written in the constitution than it is none of the business of the federal government. it is the job of the states, the role of states and the right of the states and the federal government should not keep their hands -- should keep their hands off it. if it is the one thing that could bring the government-backed is moving the power back to the states and counties and cities. we have far more federal government that we were ever expected or ever believed to have needed. and the cost is staggering. f debt.illion od because we are paying enormous amounts of money that it is not the federal government's job to do in the first place here this is why devolving power makes much sense.

and speaking of power, let's be very clear. one of the things we're going to have to correct with young people growing up and frankly with a whole lot of adults who passedt -- must not have civics, in this country we have three branches of government and all of them are equal to each other. the executive, the legislati v ve, and the judicial. where in our constitution did we get the notion that the judicial branch is somehow superior to branches two when two are government are stronger than any one of the other, and all of the branches are equal and if there is a week one according to people like jefferson, they said it would've been the judicial branch because it was the one not elected, not able to be reined in? robedidea that nine black- justices are the ultimate authority in america is not a

truly constitutional american thought. [applause] justices ared the not the final authority. folks, let's are from base in american history. history. american the final authority is the people of america. the authority and the power of america ultimately lies with we, the people, not the executive, legislative, or the judicial branch. and th tyranny of judiciary supremacye is something that must be challenged or else we will lose this country because we will be governed not by our elected representatives, not by an elected president and the executive branch, but by unelected, rogue justices who believe that somehow they have more power than all the people and that those who they sent to actually represent them and lead them. when i was running for president

in 2008, one of the people that i met was here in manchester. not far from where we are. it was at a machine shop. as i went there i was making talk in toward the machine shop. when it was all over, i will never forget a gentleman who came up to me, he worked at the shop. he said, governor, can i talk to you? of course. ask you a i need to question. i do not understand. my daughter is in grad school at cornell. grad school is $50,000 a year for her. my immediate reaction was, thank you god that my daughter does not want to go to grad school at cornell, for a lot of reasons. "i i wanted her to get a better education than i ever had. i wanted to do better." which is the dream of every american. took theid, so i

second shift. i am working two shifts, 16 hours a day. and i figured if i work twice as hard, work twice as many hours, i will make twice as many-- as much money. the first time i got my paycheck, it was barely a little bit more than the one shift. i cannot understand. then i found a because i was working that many more hours in making that money i went into a new tax bracket. and the government was taking most of what i was making in the second shift. and he said, can you explain that to me? i said, yes, sir, i can. i said, you have got a government that forgot that it's s job is to serve you, not to have you serve it. and sir -- [applause] truth is, the way we have so screwed this country up, if you would like to get your daughter some help, here's what you can do. instead of going and working two shifts, quit both of them. pop popcornch espn,

and enjoy some snacks. then your daughter will qualify for all kinds of subsidies and assistance from all the rest of us, and she will be able to go for close to free. any looked at me and said, that does not make any sense. and i said, no, sir. it does not. that is why hope you will go outke -- and vote and vote the idiots who would come up with policy like that. thank you very much. god next, on washington journal,
