cussing up a storm so you can call bear was here in washington state out on capitol hill but he was at the f.e.c. because he's trying to start a super pac and look at what actually happened moments ago the federal election commission made their ruling. ladies and gentlemen i'm sorry to say. we won. the crazy thing to me about this is that when we see steven called there on capitol hill before now we see him here at the f.e.c. and i mean he's a comedian right it's all part of entertainment but then suddenly you can see how far it actually goes to where he's essentially done something that's a groundbreaking where now the federal election commission has granted him his own super pac and a lot of people are you know worried about that his own super pac and basically free commercials for it during his show i mean i think that this is a little over the line and i think that it's crazy that it started out i'm assuming as him making a joke about how you can just by our entire like talk process these days and now he's actually doing it and i find that kind of ok people spend more on potato chips than th

according to records filed with the f.e.c., newt's campaign is one million dollars in debt. folks, this is perfectly understandable. newt has major expenses. for instance, he spent $800,000 on his campaign web site. (laughter) now, sure, newt could have had his nine-year-old nephew design a web site and all he'd have to have paid him was one of his oreo snacksers-- snacksters, cakesters. but for 800k grand large, out got one flashy state-of-the-art interactive cyber web portal net. look! it's got a logo and it's clearly photo capable. (laughter) it's got a "donate" button. a "donate today" button. another "donate to support the campaign" button and a "donate now" button. so clearly... (laughter and applause) clearly the core message is getting out. still, i can't figure out why $800,000... wait a minute... is that a facebook share icon? (laughter) those aren't cheep! so clearly every penny accounted for. but the rest of newt debt stems from his frequent private jet travel, like the $400,000 he presently owes moby dick airways. (laughter) what a shame that this debt to member

it goes back to a time when people would like out of their forces in the wild west and take f.e.c. today somebody mentioned the sheriff the prosecution don't think much company may well feel guilty. when they go out there pick up weapons. and have to hope that nothing bad can. get good. we're chasing killers thank you yeah keep that in mind how does it to me a dollar bill be suppressed. we're not superheroes we can be killed to you know the head i'm going to die. and. was you hunted man you're never go back on anything else. last time the close of team was in the cool gun region where men flock from all over the world not a few centimeters to their self-confidence. if this time marty goes to the on the region. for the gold rush still gets people like joe. kerning should try flights to save its culture. where cranes are protected in the first on the fischel nature reserve. to the original. bush a close up on the r.c. . a restitution role was passed and if you a after a declared independence collective farms we disbanded the land was handed over to some of its former i would as far un

about the jimmy carter campaign including include in that michele bachmann who worked for carter pat robertson who once said that he did everything you know everything he could without violating f.e.c. regulations to get carter elected but then in the late seventy's there was you know a huge back there was a growing backlash against the culture against the counterculture a growing desire to kind of create a conservative counter counterweight to kind of what was in some establishment liberalism. and there was also a lot of anger among calls about court rulings and i.r.s. regulations that removed the tax exempt status from some of the christian segregation academies that had opened in the south after brown versus board of education to kind of continue segregation under the guise of parochial school ng so you had all of these things coming together and then you had a sense that abortion could really symbolize broader issues of kind of cultural breakdown of of women's emancipation or kind of. the end of the nuclear family in traditional gender roles one thing that's really interesting and you know reporting on this internationally said a lot of light sometimes on what's going on locall
