[applause] >> well, first thing i'd say about steve king, he's my friend. wind. he grew up in a law enforcement family, in storm lake, iowa, built king construction company, starting in 1975, with one bulldozer. steve king has built stuff. that's important. six years in the iowa state senate, he was chairman of the state government committee and vice chairman of the oversight and budget committee. oops. the bureaucrats soon found a guy he didn't like new spending, he didn't want new programs, a tough businessman who demanded less spending, and lower taxes. he put the inheritance tax on the chopping block, passed other tax cuts, and made english the official language of iowa. the huge iowa congressional district in the western part of the state needed a congressman in 2002. in the primary, you'll like this, you're organizers, in the primary, the speaker of the iowa house of representatives, he was a moderate, he was running, the wealthy state senator from the largest city in the district, he was running. from washington, the house republican campaign committe

take a listen to congressman steve king of iowa, a republican, here's what he had to say yesterday. >> he was elected and inaugurated with about as much political capital as any president in history, and i had a ring side seat to watch that happen. he had more mojo than any president. i remember when he was inaugurated a year and a month ago. but now, the master mesmerizer has lost his mojo. and if we stand our ground as constitutional conservatives, he's not going to get it back. >> just a little taste there of some of the rhetoric you're hearing all week by the speakers. this is one reason. the tea party groups are here. that's a big difference from last year. the tea party didn't exist last year. it's a year old movement. these are pictures last night of the tea party express. they're having another cost cross-country caravan. they had a rally here to generate buzz for that event which sarah palin is going to kick off in nevada. and betty, that's really one of the big differences from last year. the energy, the enthusiasm of this crowd, partially because of the tea party movement.

steve beko. mandela and king found inspiration of gandhi and others. america's potent antiapartheid movement was larger set in motion by black americans like randall robinson and south africa's and those of french and black extraction are the spitting archetypical image of america's white southerners. both groups have invented folk-loric sales -- tails. and having religion and technology to welcoming savages. south africans translates it as rednecks. there's a popular story told in south africa perhaps apocryphal. it goes like this. a white south african traveled to the united states in the mid-'80s and landed at o'hare international airport in chicago. at customs a white american immigration officer thumbed silently through the south african's passport for a minute or two prompting the white south african traveller to ask the beefy middle-aged officer if there was a problem. so you're from south africa the officer asked without looking up. yes, i am the traveller answered. expecting the worst. the immigration officer stamped his passport. lifted his h
