this going down? >> what is probably going to happen is you will get some number of bills that are relatively bipartisan through and you will have others that are left behind, like the one that funds obamacare. the question is, and he's a very smart man and she's a very smart woman -- how do you take that question and get it across the finish line? what they've had in the past is mething that's very popular, be part of the train that pulls the troublesome rail cars along. >> you said she is a guarantee of four weeks. when is that taking place? >> i think she'll get a couple weeks in june and july. >> we wait and see what happens there. roxana tiron, andrew taylor, thank you both. appreciate it. thank you.

> evan s -- oslos tonight at 8:00 on c-span's q&a. the act that was passed in 1933 after f.d.r. came to power as a very leer -- clear line between the speculative versions and things that a bank could do and the things it could do to regulate businesses. the bankers were on the same side as f.d.r. the population was on the same side and things became stable for several decade after that. you contrast that to what happened in the wake of the 2008 crisis, which has been a much more expensive crisis for the general economy, for the actual unemployment level, not the

tagline unemployment level for what was lost to individuals throughout and relative to the bailouts and subsidies that have been given since and dodd-frank came along and did nothing remotely like dissecting speculation from depositors and traditional banking activities. >> a look another the relationships between 1600 pennsylvania avenue and wall street tonight at 9:00 on "afterwards." part of book tv this weekend on c-span 2. and our book is "it calls you back." join other readers to discuss the book at booktv.org. >> florida senator marco rubio was in new hampshire this weekend, a state that traditionally holds the first presidential primary. the republican lawmaker spoke at a fundraising dinner hosted by the rocken -- rockingham county republican committee.

it's 50 minutes. [applause] >> thank you very much. i know you had to stand up to get these circulation going. but sit down now and relax. if you look at your programs, the next thing on the program is the introduction of our keynote speaker, but for those of you who don't know, i am not kelly yotte. i actually feel like a utility infielder. every time there is a problem, i get a call, and tonight i have been asked to come in and do a little bit of substitution because kelly is on a plane that got rerouted or derouted or

whatever and she's going to be extremely late and we wanted to get you guys home in time to see the rest of the football draft tonight. one of the things that kelly told me on the phone was she wanted to stress how much she loves working with our keynote speaker tonight, senator rubio. she said, i can say whatever i want in a positive sense and it's really even more than that in her opinion. kelly is sorry she's not here but she wants you to know, she thinks this is one of the keepers in the u.s. senate. [applause] now fox news has stuck a microphone up here and it is jabbing me in the side, so i had to move it over. i have another apology to make. i am here to tell you that

that wonderful, extremely talented, very warm and effective executive counselor from the district is sorry he couldn't make it, but he has a communion rehearsal tonight. he wanted me to extend his apologies, and when i tell him what a huge crowd there is tonight, he is going to be just a bit upset. but the important thing is family, and christopher sununu is taking care of family tonight. i know she had to leave, but i have to tell you, as someone who came back a few years ago, like a damn fool to be state chairman, i have to tell you jennifer horn is doing a great, great job. even though she is not here, i

want to acknowledge the great work she is doing. and regina -- oh, there you are -- you are doing a fantastic job. i do not know how you found all of these people and got them to come tonight, but congratulations on putting a great event together. [applause] i can tell you my criterion for a great event is seeing people here i haven't seen before, and there are quite a few here, so congratulations. that is fantastic to get them. tonight we are here to do a couple of things. certainly one of the most important things we can do is just talk to each other. i am a great believer in communication amongst ourselves to begin with so that we can get good at communicating and then start talking to the folks who aren't here about how important this election that is coming up is to fix what is wrong with the

state house and the governor and the legislature in new hampshire, to take care of the needs, getting a republican senator to replace jeanne shaheen, and most important -- getting it all put together so that in two and a half years, we can replace what's in the white house with someone who knows something about running the country. [applause] tonight we are here to celebrate the legacy that we have received from three great men. george washington, the father of our country, abraham lincoln, who in those terrible times when the country was being torn apart

came in and pulled the country back together. and ronald reagan, who came in at a time when this country was looking at 21% interest. we had a president almost as bad as the president we have now in office -- and a nation that was really own. and ronald reagan came in and reminded us what it was all about. and in short order, that president restored our faith in ourselves and in our country and got this country rolling again to the point where the soviets took one look, put their hands up, and closed up shop. ronald reagan made all that

ifference. i dwelled a little on president reagan, because having spoken to marco rubio a number of times, i can tell you that first of all, he is a ronald reagan epublican. and secondly, when you really talk to him, you find out he truly was inspired by that great resident, ronald reagan. we are republicans for a number of reasons. we are republicans because we believe in the individual. the privacy of the individual over the overreach of the state. we are republicans because we believe in smaller government. we are new hampshire republicans because we have enjoyed the full benefits of truly smaller overnment for generations in

this state. and we are republicans because we understand that in order for us to be enjoying what we have now, it is because of free enterprise and capitalism and freedom and a constitution that makes the difference, and we understand what made this nation great, and at this point in time, we understand the jeopardy that this nation has. that is why i am thrilled to be doing this introduction. marco rubio believes in smaller overnment. marco rubio understands that it is people and individuals like you and i that solve problems, not -- bureauz in state or

accurates in state or federal government. marco rubio understands that growth creates jobs and he understands the greatest threat to growth is excess in taxes and excess in regulations. marco understands the strength that comes to a nation or a state when they balance their budgets. and he certainly understands that a strong national defense, a strong national security system, and a strong commitment to our international obligations is what this country's responsibility is all about. and i think he also understands, as he watches what is happening in washington, that we are not getting any of that right now. marco rubio and kelly were both elected in 2010. they both have young children. they both are committed to their family structure and recognize that that family structure is

the heart and soul of what makes this country strong. marco has been the point man in many of the battles against obamacare. he understands that this overreach by government not only is bad for now, but sets a horrible precedent for the future, is eating away our resources, and creating complications of growth of government that are disastrous for all of us. he voted against the debt ceiling increase. he voted against internet taxes. marco rubio is one of those young senators making a huge difference, and the only thing negative i can say about him is that it really ticks me off to be introducing someone that looks 60 years younger than i am. ladies and gentlemen, marco rubio.

>> thank you. thank you very much. thank you. thank you, governor, for that very kind introduction to your home state and to the people that you have worked with for so any years, thank you for that and just for the record, at the end of this month, i will turn 43. but i feel 44. and i'm sorry kelly is not here with us today. i know she wanted to be. she had other travels and couldn't get here on time. i very much like working with her. she is a phenomenal united states senator. i want to share with you about kelly ayotte and myself. because we came in together.

and irst story, we came in went through the orientation program. we went and looked around the room and sitting across the room he ran d-so -- my gosh, for president. we looked at ourselves and said, how did we get here? about six months later we are in the same room looking around and we ask each other, how did they et here? and also, another time we were there talking, and she turned to me and said, do you realize if we served here for 30 years we would still be the youngest eople in the senate? so anyway, don't tell my colleagues i said that but thank you so much for having me. i am really grateful to be part of this.

regina, thank you so much for having me and inviting me. you have put together a great evidence. in the short time i have been year, the last hour or so, i hear people that criticize the republican party, who say the republican party is not a big tent, we do not reach out to people different from us, they should, here tonight and see how ridiculous that has. because tonight i saw someone here with a new york yankees cap on. never say we are not big tent, but notice he is sitting in the corner. we all have our limits. anyway, thank you. thank you for this invitation. thank you for hosting. thank you for having me. it is an honor to be here with you. of course, it's great to see scott brown, my colleague. he and i worked a number of years together in the senate. i practically everybody in this room who has put themselves up

to run for office, which is apparently the majority of you here tonight -- that is great. i wish you all the best. i am glad to be here to talk about the issues confronting our country. i've been asked why are you in new hampshire to do it? for two reasons. one, we have good friends here. thank you for the invitation. and the people standing in the back of the room that will cover what we say here tonight. and that's important because i think we have reached a point in this country where we need to discuss the pressing issues of our time. it will be 50 years ago this month that my parents got on an airplane in the city of havana and came to deal the country in the world where people like them had a chance to improve their lives. they came to the united states of america. in this country, my parents never became rich. they never made a lot of money, never owned more than one home

at a time, never owned a yacht. quite frankly, were never able to save enough to put us through college and had to borrow money to do that. but my parents lived the american dream. they lived it totally and completely. the american dream is not about how much money you make or how many things you own at the end of your life. that may be part of your dream, but that is not the american dream. the american dream is about things that are much deeper and more fundamental. the american dream is about raising your family in a safe and secure environment. about the freedom to worship as you choose, about the opportunity to improve your life, to pursue happiness, to use your talents and your gifts to live life the way you want to live. that is not a uniquely american dream. people all over the world aspire to that in their lives. what's extraordinary is it's happened so often in this country to so many people that that dream that people all over

the world have is named after us. it is called the american dream and it separates us from the rest of the world. it makes us different from the rest of the world. that so many millions of people born not to prive lincoln, not to money, have been able to achieve that in this nation. including the man and woman who are my parents. and that dream is still alive. there are people in this room living at the. there are people in this room who is children are living it. there are people working at this event tonight -- and i want to thank the wait staff and all of those from that fantastic facility -- who are working hard to secure -- fulfill that dream. but i don't think we can forget the fact that today there are millions in this country who are starting to feel that that dream is slipping outside of their reach. they feel that way because maybe they are 24 years old and they did everything asked of them. they went to college, they got an education. and now they can't find a job

in the field they studied for and they owe a bunch of money. maybe they worked their entire lives and the job they used to have has been automated or outsourced to another country and they're working part-time or half of what they used to make. maybe they are single mothers, struggling to raise their children, abandoned by the father of those children. she has to get up in the morning, make breakfast, drop them off at school, work for nine hours, rush to pick them up before day care closes. or after care closes. bring them home, make some dinner, do their homework and put them to bed. she is exhausted. tomorrow she has to wake up and do it all over again and she doesn't know how it's ever going to get better. all over the country, there are people starting to believe the american dream is slipping outside of -- out of their reach. here is the extraordinary irony. the extraordinary irony is the

man in the white house, his party, actively campaigned six years ago that they would work for these people. that their policies were about helping people such as this by the way, i got a good chuckle. the other day i read the democrats' new agenda, their focus now is to help the people who are trying to make it. what has been your focus for the last six years? and yet, for the last six years for the folks i just described you, things have not gotten better. they have gotten worse. they have gotten progressively worse. significantly worse. and the reason? because they have tried to do something that has never worked anywhere it has ever been tried. never in the history of man has any nation been able to tax, spend, and regulate its way to prosperity. and it will not work here now. we have reached a crossroads in the nation where we are being asked to determine, what is going to happen to the american dream? and will it still be a vibrant

part of our country in this new century? the democratic party will say to you, in their words, they'll say we are standing and fighting for the american dream. but if you look at their policies, it tells you something different. what their policies are saying to us is, this is the new normal. what we are facing is the new ormal. last now d get your -- this is a major crisis. they were trying to figure how to get the water up on the podium. it was bad enough my teleprompter didn't make it. and what is the deal with this fox news thing here? let me -- it's got a broken rib. all right, anyway. -- this claim that they are fighting for the american dream

if you look at their policies their following, it's saying to the american people, look, this is the new normal. and what we need now is a big powerful government to make it easier for us to accept this new normal, to alleviate the pain, to make us comfortable in the new normal. they will never admit this. but in their policies they admit and it it's even worse. heir kids are stale. their kids never worked in the 20th century, much less the 21st. they're threatening to elect someone now who wants to take us to the past. for an america that is never coming back. the 20th century is gone. we live in the 21st century. a time of extraordinary challenges, that also extraordinary opportunity. and that is where our party must step in. the democratic party is a party that believes -- they'll never admit it -- but they believe the 21st century will be a post-american era. we believe the 21st century will be another american century. because everything it will take to succeed in the 21st-century

happened to be the things that americans are the best at. competition, innovation, investment, creativity, entrepreneurship. that is what the 21st century will be about. and there is no nation and no people on the earth that do that better than americans. [applause] i am going to put this near the elephant and hope he doesn't drink it. but it won't happen on its own. the road we are on right now is a road that will rob us of the american dream. and that's where our party must take the opportunity that we've now been given, to go to these americans that are hurting, the americans you are starting to doubt whether the fundamentals of the american dream are still alive, to go with them and say -- here is the new way forward, here's

the way to take us to this new american century. for us, it begins with a simple purpose, a simple idea. we believe that america must always be the nation of equal opportunity. equal opportunity means that it doesn't matter where you start out in life. how poor your parents were. we believe every human being has a god-given right to pursue happiness, to achieve everything they were created to achieve, to put their talents to good use, to dream any dream they want, and work hard to achieve it. we believe that this should always be a nation where you should be able to go as far as your talent and your work will take you. at the core of equal opportunity is a very simple concept. that is the value of work. a concept that's been lost. work is not a burden. work is a good thing. it is good for our country and it is good for people. it is not just a way to pay your bills. it gives purpose to your life. it allows you to put your talents to good use. to do something productive wilt.

and everything we do in government must be about incentivizing and creating work. our safety net programs must be about work. the ultimate cure -- i was recently asked by a journalist, a very nice person actually, but -- i didn't mean it that way, guys. come on. i was recently asked by a journalist so what's your solution to unemployment, senator rubio? i said my solution to unemployment is employment. it is also the solution to poverty. the reason why our safety net programs are failing is they alleviate the pain of poverty, but they do not help cure it. they do not extract people from poverty. the way to extract people from poverty is to give them the opportunities, the skills, the education, whatever it may

be, to give them the skills so they can work for their family and achieve their american dream. our safety net programs must be about incentivizing work. our tax code must be about incentivizing work. our tax code today is not about work. our tax code today is about redistributing income. about picking winners and osers. today we stand in a fantastic facility. thank you for having me. i promise you like every private sector enterprise in america, this facility exists because someone invested money to build it, open it and operate it. with no guarantee of success. that is how jobs and work are created. when someone with access to money uses that money to start a business or grow an existing one. we must make america the single best place in the world to do that. right now it is losing its ground. there was a time not so long ago where there were only a handful of developed economies where you

would dare to invest money. today there are dozens of developed economies that compete with us on a daily, regular basis to steal away investments. we need a tax code that says, the more you invest, the less you pay in taxes. so that we create more jobs, ore centers of work. so they can invest in capital improvements in their businesses to expand them. we need to make america the single best place in the world to do that. the other thing that creates work is innovation. you do something no one else does, you'll create millions of new jobs. we can make america the best place in the world to do that. [applause] the single greatest impediment to innovation is a regulatory code. let me tell you one of the reasons why. because you could have a great idea. you could decide i'm going to open up this great idea out of

the spare bedroom of my home. and it may be a violation of the zoning code, but that is what you're going to do. but if you have to comply with a mountain of regulations, you can't do that a big company can do that. big companies may not like government, but they can afford it. they can hire the best lobbyists in washington to help avoid those regulations. they can hire lawyers. if you are starting a business out of a spare bedroom in your home, you can't do that. so that business may never happen. there are thousands of companies that were never born because they could not comply with the regulations they were buried underneath. and it's bors. i am here to tell you that at the state and federal government level, big companies and established industries often use regulations to suffocate competition. they don't want other companies competing with them, so they use their influence on government to

get regulations written that make it impossible for anyone to ever challenge them. and that is why regulations are that is why will we are still the most innovative nation on earth, every single year we have lost some of our vendors. there is one more thing i want to point out. in the 21st century millions of our best paying jobs will depend on access to markets abroad. and that is why foreign policy comes in. it is not that we desire to tell people what to do and their country. all the world benefits and so do we economically when people are living in stable countries that can afford to buy the stuff we build. that is why we cannot allow any hegemonic power to arise in any region of the world that we have to ask permission from before we do business with some country. that is why we cannot allow any country like china is trying to do, to land at the ocean belongs to them.
