8:18 pm

[laughter] so, the president was here last week. he was getting his rocky mountain high on. busy week for him. from one scandal to another scandal. must've had vertigo. the middle east exploding in with our opene border crisis. no time to visit the border, but time to shoot some pool, wet his
8:19 pm
whistle, and green real big for s that hey photo op really, really hates. he raked in big box at the parties with fatcats. his term, not my term. this, in a border state, he was. the president so disparages these cats in public, but in private, there's a whole lot of and tummynd purring tickling with the one who feeds them. is not athem, politics passionate cause. it's a money. it's a business. and when the crony capitalists gather, wining and dining with their pal the president, the rest of us are on the menu. where not invited to the party. where the forgotten man.
8:20 pm
during the great depression, president roosevelt spoke about the forgotten man. the man at the bottom of the totem pole. fdr said he wanted to help with his new deal. but big government under that new deal, the policies hurt more than they help. the depression last longer, and unemployment even worse. sound familiar? story today. government bloats. up.y capitalists eat it they are swallowing that largess. inclined to keep government big, wasteful -- there is those who profit from it. the permanent political class. both sides of the aisle, they feed off this.
8:21 pm
the rest of us. today, we are the forgotten man. the forgotten man is the hard-working middle class who just cannot seem to get a break. income flat lines. making less than a decade ago. worried about the mortgage, college tuition, retirement. worried about putting food on the table. the forgotten man is the college grad who voted for that hope and change stuff, but now can't find a job. losing hope. got no change. soldierotten man is the that we sent off to war with a hip hip hooray. look at them today. forever scarred from that battlefield. and now, now they need that conversation that they earned. they were promised by a grateful nation.
8:22 pm
they were shuffled around the v.a. and denied that rations chair. they are made to wait? some die waiting. -- while bureaucrats make themselves raises. she has a tea party and wants to champion the blessings of liberty. but soon finds herself a target of the irs. and when she complains about it, no one listens. until the head of the irs finally has to admit to the wrongdoing. and even when crystal clear evidence stares the president in the face, he lies. he says, there is no corruption at all. not even a smidgen. man gothe forgotten
8:23 pm
used to being lied to. benghazi. withdent got us into a war libya without congressional approval. our ambassador big for security, was ignored, then murdered when the consulate was attacked, as predicted, by savage muslim terrorists. americans there were left behind to die. then obama helped spread the lie that spontaneous protest -- it was over youtube. it was to blame for this highly organized and premeditated attack. the forgotten man is used to obama's lawlessness. can use as another example amnesty. well, congress refused or declines to pass the dream act. they did not want amnesty.
8:24 pm
they knew the people did not want amnesty. so no dream act. but the dreamweaver, he waved his magic wand, and obama unilaterally enacted his own, which created the current crisis we are seeing as illegals are pouring in. to collect what he legally promised them. i do not know if there is any democrats in this crowd, but if there are democrats who may be will watch later, i want to ask democrats. come on. was goingthe one who to part the waters and calm the cities and sink every shot, or whatever that fairy was back in 2008 -- do you really still support the obama doctrine? get a reward. his incentives are invitations. it is going to get worse. and now the forgotten man is
8:25 pm
working class from all backgrounds, all races. immigrantsand legal are forced to compete for limited jobs and services, against this flood of illegal immigrants. and if you think it is only those precious, innocent on tv,n -- you see them and they are being abused by their parents. any parent who would send them on such a journey, up to america's disintegrated redline -- it is not just the innocent children. nothing is there to sift out the bad guys. the gang bangers and the terrorists. they will be mixed in there. and we are offering to take care of them. i think it's insane. america the unfunded charity?
8:26 pm
[applause] but then again, if you agree -- common sense sense is an endangered species in d.c. we are offering to strengthen them, and we are going to be if america will not secure the borders, it is not immigration. it is invasion. you know we are trillions in debt. cities insolvent. and overrun health care system. police departments, schools, and welfare states, stretched to the match. ordinary americans know this. but the
8:27 pm
pro-amnesty pals in silicon -- theyr on wall street can afford the best security border that money can buy in their own exclusive gated communities. they are not worried. haulingce they are not illegals through those swanky hoods in d.c., manhattan, or seven cisco. they are housed in vacant schools in working-class neighborhoods. why not harvard and colombia? put them there to. school is out for summer. millions of americans are out of work. amnesty supporters, they don't want to hire and pay american workers a decent wage, evidently. they would rather replace them with foreign labor, because it is cheaper. the forgotten man. he believes that if you play by
8:28 pm
the rules, you can still earn a decent living, and the dignity that comes with that. you can get ahead. you can work hard and lay a foundation of success for your children. they can finish what you started. lost whennow, that is some people don't have to play by the rules, and those at the top collude to drive down wages of american workers by replacing them. what the forgotten man has is believed in this exceptional nation. no one is going to fundamentally transform our nation. undermining its rule of law.
8:29 pm
making it just another chunk of land on the map that is no different from the countries our ancestors left in order to stake claim here, legally. but still, we have to act. who is looking out for the american worker? who has got their backs? who fights for them? who will stand up for the forgotten man? one man did. democrat, and he left his party, because he says his party left him. that man, of course, is ron reagan. reagan said -- [applause] our hero reagan said he cannot be for big government, big taxes, and big bureaucracy, and still be for the little guys. he believes firmly in legal
8:30 pm
immigration, just as i do. amnesty mistake with unsecured borders problem. but i bet you he would never make the same mistake twice, to let us learn from history. he stood for the working man, for opportunity. that is why the reagan democrats stood with him. well onit was summed up my facebook page. a guy, sam griffith, he posted, i grew up poor. my mother was a diehard fdr democrat. one i turned 18, the first president i voted for was ronald reagan. my mother was beside herself. she asked me, why would i vote for him? her, i did not plan on staying poor. this is our message. [applause] this is what we stand for. we want to win date in these midterms?
8:31 pm
do you want to win big in 2016? listen to a guy who still wants to believe in the american dream. the little guy. who might not afford a seat at froufrou of the grudgesers, but we don't success. they celebrated. and they want to achieve it themselves by doing right. make government live within its means. keep it limited. protect liberties. allow prosperity. it is understanding that the constitution is not a tool for government to restrain the people. as patrick henry said, it's an instrument for the people to restrain the government. [applause]
8:32 pm
what's right is standing for freedom, and a culture of life, and respecting our united states military, and letting free markets create jobs, and securing the borders to protect those jobs. [applause] it means, mr. president, defending our borders, defending our constitution and our rule of law. that's your job, mr. president. these days, you hear all of these politicians announcing barack obama, saying he is a lawless, imperial president, and ignores court orders and changes laws by fiat, and refuses to enforce laws he just does not like. that's true, but the question is, politicians, what are you going to do about it? [applause]
8:33 pm
let's call their bluff. bluff, causeheir we need a little less talk and a lot more action. aere's only one remedy for president who commits high crimes and misdemeanors, and its impeachment. it's the i word. [applause] i will tell you why. you don't need those fancy law degrees hanging on your wall to laws are not being enforced today. it illegal immigrants all over the world know that. i don't need lectures from eric incompetent heo fraud existed even after someone claims they were
8:34 pm
eric holder and they got his voted in d.c. dear eric. not many cap members in u.s. history have been held in contempt of congress, that if he wants to weigh in, maybe he can tell his boss. get out of the bubble. go to the working-class communities. see consequences of deliberately not enforcing the law. see what happens. see the people, the effect. and eric, instead of shamelessly playing that race card again, try to get it that illegal immigration hurts all americans, all races and backgrounds. opposed it,havez because he knew it hurts legal immigrants and our
8:35 pm
working-class, fighting for decent wages. it's a nonpartisan issue. charge --ace is in it's a disgusting. . ast because someone opposes failed, unjust agenda, that makes you a racist? , he needsey general to use his noggin and answer what is to account for the anti-obama policy protests going on today in black communities and in hispanic circles, and on reservations, and in my own home? that racism charge -- you know why they do that. it's to stop debate. they cannot get us on the issues. we are right on this issue about what illegal immigration is going to do to this country. racist,w out the word and the reporters let him off.
8:36 pm
friends -- they let him off. because that, to them, is there deadly charge, the only way they can win on these issues. go right to the color of a man's skin to judge, marginalize, and lay blame? who? only one quite prejudiced. and on impeachment. has got him nervous. let's be clear. if they don't believe in that high crimes and misdemeanors, it does not mean today's ordinary criminal charges. the framers used the term to mean a dereliction of duty. explained by many of our founders as -- dereliction of duty, knowing that the first to the of the president is to
8:37 pm
preserve,r laws, protect, and defend the constitution. whoas alexander hamilton described impeachable offenses as the abusive violation of some form of trust. he called them elliptical offenses, because they relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself. thatrious person can deny team obama has abused and violated the public trust and the constitution. rocking us to our core from benghazi, fast and furious gunrunning, stimulus bust. greenies on our greenbacks. and the scandals. obamacare lies. v.a. let's type. the irs aims to repress conservative voice.
8:38 pm
the doj wiretaps reporters. violation's of our religious rights. ignoring illegal in-house fundraising. the list of abuses goes on and on. not defending orders is dereliction of duty, violating the oath of office. if that is not impeachable, nothing is. and if he is not impeachable, no one is. [applause] and upon the world stage, i wish we had time to talk about some of these national security issues. so much is going on. so much to cover. enemy in even idd these overseas contingency
8:39 pm
operations. that would just be war. the definition of war to us. that is what it would call us. intervention strategies are so unreliable, and even inconsequential, as applied to fighting to win. that -- murkiness. benjamin netanyahu's clarity. developed missile defense systems to protect our citizens, while they use their citizens to protect their missiles. whose side are you on? the list does go on. all offenses, of course, some just offensive.
8:40 pm
and with excuses. blame bush. blame boehner. blame a bummer of a ballgame or a bad day on the links. with team obama, why they do what they do? it makes no sense. but the constitution holds the president responsible for the executive branch. he cannot just call it him. he can't just vote present and feign ignorance of all of this. any more a mob boss can claim innocence because he did not personally do the hit. the buck stops with the guy at the top. [applause] considering articles of impeachment is the check. making the case for it is not difficult. difficult is having the moral courage to do what's right. hold themuts to accountable.
8:41 pm
it takes political will. for cautious inaction , they are terming it. they are saying, obama's helices are a failure anyway. why rock the boat? that argument misses the point. he is radically changing the balance of power. setting a wicked dangerous precedent with his pan and his phone. he is aggregating congressional authority, making himself a ruler, not a president. we had a resolution back in 1776. kings.t do [applause] on his way for the next election
8:42 pm
-- wait for the next election and hope a big gop victory rings in the radicals. been there, done that in 2010. congressif we let refuse to use the power that the constitution gives it, barack obama will continue to rule however he wants, and the fabric of america will unravel. do not be afraid to raise this and no there is no other recourse. right now, we are drifting. the country is rudderless. the captain is saying, i am going it alone. shipmates, it's our responsibility to use that tool in the toolbox, to hold him accountable, to send that message. we have to influence congress on this.
8:43 pm
remember, the only thing necessary for them to fundamentally transform america is for the men to do nothing. we must hold him accountable. if not these violations, then what? , this these violations imperial president, his pledge to continue to go it along so -- how bad does it have to get? we live now in america where on us, andspies targets, because of political belief, terrorist leaders are said to go back to their death cult, back to the battlefield, keep doing what they want to do is killd that
8:44 pm
americans. we let them go free. we live in an america where our health care is taken from us and we are forced by government to buy something we don't want. we can't afford. an america where government takes aim at taxing nuns because they adhere to their catholic faith. no border, no nation. and we live in an america where the president keeps a kill list of people he says he has executed on sight. if you are fine with that, then by all means, look for the best. your apathy is their power. the rest of us, we need change. we know we need change. with healing the
8:45 pm
injuries to society by an unchecked president. that starts with having the guts to talk about impeachment. they will engage in all sorts of mischief in these next few years. what danger. what danger he had there with appointments -- look ahead and consider that judicial damage. consider it will be unrecoverable. we cannot wait. we need to have our voice heard on this. use your mighty weapons of a pen and a phone, and influence congress. it's got to be with courage. always think about reagan. sunny optimism. time-tested truths that are on
8:46 pm
our side. stand for prosperity. laughing prosperity -- it is not a handout. it is the callused hand of those who built this country. parody does not come from top-down government or community organizing. this exceptional country. it was built by the little guy. the guy who plowed the fields. who worked the factories. built the railroads. the skyscrapers. and the pipelines. and the power plants. they harvested, and they carved a nation out of the wilderness. fought most brave, they
8:47 pm
and we and our and we and our country's wars. they made america the greatest nation in the history of mankind. yes, they built it. they deserve our work now. it is our turn. [applause] this president's forgotten man is we, the people. know that our best days are still ahead. shed his graced on the, america. he has given us our freedom to do what's right. god does not drive ford cars. uphink he expects us to get and take action in order to defend these freedoms that our god given. think god gave us these freedoms. we are not going to let someone, a person, a party, take them from us. godre not going to dethrone
8:48 pm
and substitute him with someone who wants to play god. friends -- [applause] as you enjoy beautiful colorado, i think it is evidential. consider the state motto. nothing without providence. is thefinding out that state motto. we can't appeal to heaven for wisdom and for courage, and america will be saved. everything with providence. be ever thankful. downdy tells you to sit and shut up, you can go rogue. get out there and fight for what is right. you know what is right. down the road. be ever thankful. i thank you so much for being here, and wanting to be part of a summit that can energize
