Appreciate it. [applause] nextstep, ann coulter talking about her new book, never trust a liberal over 3 especially a republican at the eagle for them leadership summit in washington d. C. This is about 40 minutes. Well, our next speaker is ann coulter, whose new book is called [laughter] never trust a liberal over 3 especially a republican. Ann coulter started out as a new york city lawyer, then worked for the Senate Judiciary committee and as a litigator at the center for individual rights in the. Now shes a syndicated columnist with the universal press syndicate and the Legal Correspondent for human events. Author of 10 New York Times bestsellers and one of the most popular guest on fox, cnn, nbc, abc and hbo. It is a privilege and very special event to have her with us today. Please welcome ann coulter. [applause] im so happy i finally get to meet you. Im actually not that welcome of a guest on several of the stations you mentioned. Things change. You really want to cement your career in tv, be sure to speak on the cliches and make that argument when youre a liberal tv. You will be back over and over again. I wanted to start by saying things arent as bad as they seem. They seem pretty bad. It seems like where the metal of the democrats as they near lake. But when i was depressed as ive ever been to my life and im learning my parents dying, when obama won the second time beating romney, my mother happened to a then the largest north american collection of clippings about ann coulter. So im going through them and i came across Time Magazine that came out immediately after george bush won the Media Election in 2004, which should be of tremendous interest in this idea is you are all in kittner garden men. You probably dont have that issue. It was the exact opposite of what everyone was saying after this last election, which is to say democrats are going to have to fold up shop, come back under a new name. Theyve lost five of the last president ial elections. The reason my mother had it was a huge smiling picture of me, winner, bad picture of michael moore, loser. [laughter] search or read that magazine it really lifted my spirits to remember the pendulum does change, but it takes activists like you and people talking and writing and art doing to make things change. Remember obama, he did win twice, but he is two characteristics that no other democrat has. Number one, no record. And likability. Im no record the history democrat says theyre always going down they said what they did with Michael Dukakis when he wasnt even a twinkling his fathers side. Michael dukakis in the late gordon. Remember john kerry maybe you dont number, throwing not his, someone elses medals over the white house lawn and slamming his fellow Vietnam Combat spirit of was perfect. They had a 14yearold with no record. And hes very likable. He has to admit hes the most charismatic person the democrats have run for president in my lifetime. John f. Kennedy was charismatic, but obama is definitely the best of it produced in my lifetime. I think the only people you are going to have fainting at a Hillary Clinton rally will be the gals from now who cant take the heat. [laughter] but americans keep telling pollsters they really like obama personally. Sometimes you wish you could like his policy. Obama will probably make a great nextdoor neighbor of mr. Chinese, in which case he would always be over borrowing something. [laughter] but i think after the mess hes made for the past eight years, republicans have a good chance in 2016 provided a ransom in slightly better than todd akin. We have a very good chance. Especially when they talk a lot about obamacare. So far i think i added up approximately 1 million hours trying to find a Health Care Plan for myself. And self employed some of the few americans actually subjected to the provisions of obamacare. The entire time i was mumbling about my liberal friends who unfortunately is a hypochondriac in there for what the entire National Budget spent on health care and that is blogger nikki crouse. For all 1 million hours second big screw you, screw you, you said it was going to be great. And the title of my column was screw you, nikki crouse. As i was sending it out i forgot to mention to him that it was coming. So i sent him an email by the way, i imagined you in my column this week. He read the column in the column and he said yeah can you make good points, but what is so brilliant as you are going to have it available in the country poured into obamacare pages to find a good plan for you now. But i mailed him back and i was right. Thats impossible. It is not manically impossible for a palme care to fund the uninsured, to pay for everyones Smoking Cessation programs and marital counseling and, you know, aromatherapy, hearing their peak in the Speech Therapy and also pay for my Cancer Treatment. Something has to go and apparently it is the pain insurers Cancer Treatment or whatever. Nancy pelosi has said, you know, we had to pass obamacare to find out what the net. Okay, we found out and now we really dont like it. Recall that obamacare became law not because the American People were clamoring for the federal government, please, please take over health care. It was as one party and 60vote. The democrats always do this. The worse things cast in American History program because of some fluke in history, watergate, john mccain, they end up with an inordinately large majority and suddenly theyve got a todo list. Republicans never have a todo list. George bush for the first six years as president he. What did we get to quiet no, obamacare passed with one party sneering hot, hot, weve got 60 votes. The history of liberalism is passing things that sound good on paper to replace things actually work. Americans kept saying really, really, do we have to replace our health care . Liberals excited now, my roommate and i were both from scholars and worked it all out on paper. So now the entire help your system is going to be run by the same people who run the department of motor vehicles, you now . Yes, you know those incredibly long lines. Now imagine youre standing in one of those wines wearing a paper hospital gown open and back. Thats obamacare. Thank you, liberals. The democrats only defense to this monstrosity and you hear it all the time as well, republicans dont have a plan. Tell me what your plan is. They dont have a plan. I have a plan. Its a Little Something ive been working on. I call it freemarket capitalism my i. T. As we let individuals shop for Health Insurance on the free market. Here with me i know this sounds crazy, but the history of the world is everything provided on the free market gets better and cheaper over time. Everything provided by the government gets worse and more expensive over time. Government gave us a post office, Public Schools. I schools. I was one of my annoyances during the government shutdown. I kept seeing people im talking to a sane when something is failing you dont get in the way. Now, the Public School system has failed and its still wet guys. We apparently have to kick up quite a fuss to get rid of government programs. Social security would be put in jail if youre in the air. By the way, now bankrupt. Or an income tax credits, fraud ridden programs in the history im not saying one thing. And my favorite, but those of you on the east coast, you are familiar with amtrak. It is a total monopoly. You are trapped on a train and if you forgot to get food you just wait for the announcement you can care, but you hope thursday the third is up in nmi for 40 minutes admitted to be cold turkey sandwich for 30. Last year, amtrak food service among lost 72 million. How do you lose with a monopoly . Only the government could do that. Meanwhile the private sector has given us ever cheaper cellphones , cell phone service, flatscreen tvs, Jerry Garcia Chia pets. Every single part of commercial air travel has gotten vastly cheaper in my lifetime. The only part of commercial air travel is the department of the government. The airport security. On the way down here i got the full patdown by a handsome tsa agent, so im going through again. [laughter] consequently, my idea is an republicans are to steal this idea. We should get our Health Insurance through the same system that gave us fedex and 47 brandies of orange juice. They gave us the iphone and not the system that gave us the Internal Revenue code and harry reid. Imagine, i always think they have been democrats did not decide back in the 80s. Cell phones are very important. They are very important. A much better cell phone. If they had moved into obama sells back then, cell phones would still be the side of this lecture and cost a thousand dollars each. The liberals cant learn from what is right in front of them. Viruses can learn. Liberals cannot learn. [laughter] only can do is beat them, which should be a lot easier if they were importing a millionaire democrat every year. That is proving to be quite a challenge for us. We got immigration policies from Teddy Kennedy who designed an immigration policy to make it a lot more democratic. Lets bring in people who will vote for the democrats. Dont imagine liberals have been winning over americans with passing arguments. No, they changed the vote. About Teddy Kennedys 1965 immigration act, romney wouldve won the bigger landslide against obama than carter in 1980. But they changed the voters. And the reason i say that was from a got a higher percentage of the white vote than reagan did. In 1965, the white population was about 90 of the country. Today is about 62 . It does not however have to do with ethnicity or race. It has to do with immigration. Immigrants are always more liberal than the base population of america. As Phyllis Schlafly has shone in her report, those of us to Pay Attention notice this one around. Republicans are the american party, immigrants. Look at piers morgan. Theyre always liberal. Its kind of a dirty trick democrats have told because the majority of immigrants today are his panic and hispanics are such darned hard workers you just cant bear any ill will towards them. But the problem is too many immigrants and essentially will win historic voters. As Phyllis Schlafly is pointed out, took us 100 years of Ronald Reagan to an irish and italian immigrants. They came at the beginning of last century and it wasnt until 1980 until he got in substantial numbers to the republicans. By definition, immigrants come from countries more liberal than america. Until the entire globe is in venezuela, people will calm from poorer countries and they will be coming from our left wing countries. Hispanics support obamacare by 75 . Thats compared to the population at large which according to an ap poll shows that only 26 of americans overall support obamacare. Hispanics, 75 . This is a problem of immigration, not of ethnicity. The Republican Partys response so far has been to think if only we bring in more immigrants [laughter] maybe hispanics will hate us less. No, theyll still vote democrat. They may not hate you, they wont vote with an angry glint in their eyes, but Voting Machines dont register angry glints. They only register votes. And it doesnt seem to have occurred to republicans that if they cant vote, they cant vote against you. More importantly, hispanic voters dont care about, about amnesty. Theyre already in. I mean, the legal ones. Again, hispanics support the Democratic Party because they support big government, not because they want their entire country moving here. The democrats know this perfectly well as is evidenced by obamas specifically spanishlanguage ads. He did not talk about amnesty when he took out ads in spanish neighborhoods, spanish radio, spanish tv. He said im going to give you free health care. If he thought, if they thought, if all of the Democrats Campaign consultants thought that hispanic voters cared about amnesty, do you think they might have mentioned it . Oh, no. This is all just to hoodwink the republicans into giving them 30 million more voters. Never in Human History has one country just decided to turn itself into another country like this. You dont have japan saying, i know, lets be sweden. [laughter] finland isnt saying i want to be a little more germanic. Look, i love these countries, but i dont want to live in germany. I dont want to live in finland. I dont want to live in japan. I wanted to live in america. Why dont democrats . [laughter] liberals act like its a natural process and, oh, were a king knute trying to hold back the oceans tides. No, no, there is nothing natural about this. Teddy kennedys Immigration Law was specifically designed to bring in immigrants from countries that had not supplied immigrants to this country for the first 300 years of its existence. Con scwemently, since that law consequently, since that law passed in 65 to about 1970 weve been taking 90 Illegal Immigrants from the third world. Of course thats going to change a country. [laughter] you know, its just little matter of who gets to live here and vote. Were told as if its good news that immigrants take welfare at only 15 above the native rate. [laughter] wait, only . Thats like saying, good news, only 15 of the food has rat feces in it. [laughter] no. Were thinking, no, no rat feces. We want no immigrants on welfare. If were bringing in people who immediately need assistance from the taxpayer, isnt that by definition immigrants we dont want . Madness. We cant pay for our own poor people. With whose money are we going to pay for the poor of the world . I think we ought to be caring about our fellow americans more. The republicans have always, have always been the party that defended black people, particularly against segregationist policies of the democrats. We havent been getting a lot of love back recently. [laughter] but i dont think thats any reason not to do the right thing here. Africanamericans are hurt the most by low wage labor pouring into the country. This has been shown study after study. Jesse jackson used to be on the border trying to stop immigrants from coming in. Barbara jordan, the great civil rights hero, wrote the jordan report saying we have got to limit immigration. Blacks are hurt the most. Were not democrats, we should do the right thing. Oh, you know who else is hurt by all this low wage labor coming into the country, hispanic immigrants who came in last year. [laughter] democrats love to say that republicans only care about the fetus until the baby is born. Well, i say democrats only care about immigrants until they can vote. Democrats dont care that last years hispanic immigrants and the year before and the year before are saying, no, no, i dont want my wages to go down any more. I promise you if immigrants voted for the democrats, we would have Chuck Schumer down on the border with the minutemen. They just want the votes. Do you think theres any place else in the world so stupid not to just search the world over and try to get the best immigrants it can get . Try calling up some other countrys embassy. Hello, india. I dont speak the language and i dont have any skills, but id love the come live there. I hear the weathers nice, and i love the food. Say, if i cant make it in your country, would you guys mind cutting me a check once a month . Is. [laughter] not so fast, skippy. Whereas our immigration policy is anyone who lives within walking distance. [laughter] the greatest country in the world, this is how we decide who gets to be an american, live here and vote. The theory of anchor babies is if i successfully break into your house, i get to own it. And if i dont get to own it, at least my kids do. Its not fair. Its not their fault, i told them we owned it. [laughter] not only do unskilled immigrants get to live here, they get to bring their brothersinlaw and third cousins. This isnt family reunification, its tribal reunification. [laughter] we are getting entire villages from pakistan. This is how, this is how the guy who runs a donkey cart whos illiterate in his own language never mind ours takes precedent over a danish surgeon. Oh, because im related to some guy who already slipped through. Among the Great Success stories of our family reunification plan is octo mom. She got in through family reunification and has already cost the california taxpayers millions upon millions of dollars with her mental problems. Of course, the Boston Marathon bombers, family reunification. The new york city subway bombers. This weird idea has somehow taken hold that its unfair to try the get the best imgrants we can get imgrams we can get. Yes, its unfair for that top model to date a good looking, wealthy guy. She should be forced to date a bald loser. [laughter] and why dont College Basketball teams have a lottery system for their players . Why should a blind midget lose out to those sevenfoottall stars . Its kind of touching that the democrats realize theyd never get americans to vote for them, so they had to bring in new voters. [laughter] but i cant understand why republicans are helping them. Just because the democrats need 30 million new voters is no reason for republicans to vote to wreck the country. Thats my thought. Oh, i remember now, republican donors need lots of cheap labor. I always tell people if youre not sure what your position on ilLegal Immigration is or even continued Legal Immigration as it is now ask yourself do i have a maid, a nanny, a chauffer, a cook, a gardener . Because if you dont have all those things pool boy if you dont have all those things, ilLegal Immigration, in fact, lowwage Legal Immigration is a net loss to you as a taxpayer. We are being taxed to subsidize these slave wages these immigrants are being paid. Yeah, so its great for Sheldon Edelson and mark zuckerberg, but were subsidizing their lowwage labor that is taking jobs from american is citizens. Republican politicians have just got to go to the donor class, the edelsons and the chamber of commerce, and tell them, look, were going to give you osha reform, tax reform, tort reform, but you cant have everything. If we pass amnesty, we will never be in a position to help you again, and you can take your chances with nancy pelosi. [laughter] if yes, i will, and im almost done. Okay. [laughter] i just wanted to point out that within a few years the entire country will be like california, and i dont mean to be harsh, but youll all be the kardashians. [laughter] there will be no reason for can concernses like for conferences like this, no reason to write conservative books, no reason for conservative radio or fox news. It will be over. Over. It may be over now, but if amnesty goes through, there is no hope. Any other bad law can be repealed. Obamacare can be repealed. You cannot repeal who is a United States citizen and who is voting in elections. Sensible americans have to get together and agree only two things matter, obamacare and immigration, and all republicans are against obamacare, so that only leaves immigration. We have to tell our representatives thats it, well vote for you one more time, but if you pass amnesty, were done, were out, the country is finished. Thank you. Ill take your questions now. [applause] all right. Whos first . In the back row there. Hey. My name is hillary, and im from mississippi. This isnt regarding directly what you were talking about no problem. You can ask about anything. It has to do with the Mississippi Senate rights. Yes. And i recently saw your comments a couple days ago which i appreciated, so thank you for that. I just would like to know what would you say to mississippians who claim that theyre going to vote for the democrat, travis childers, because theyre just angry about it . I would ask you to get their addresses for me so i can fly in and hold their heads under the water until the bubbles stop. [laughter] i know, you know [laughter] if theyre such bad asses, why dont they cross the Mississippi River and help tom cotton beat a democrat like pryor. No, we dont need these fights, this is crazy. And, by the way, i understand the Tea Party Patriots have pulled out. What i wrote is this is killing chris mcdaniels. Each when an election has been outright stolen from you, you shouldnt contest it. Its just the haw of politics. The law of politics. Thats installment one. Installment two is coming next week, and ill give you a little sneak preview. Look, elections are dirty in a lot of ways. Whatever theyre complaining about that the cochran team did, you know, the Mcdaniels Team pulled that ugly nursing home incident. Im not blaming mcdaniels for that, im not blaming cochran for what people said about him. I think it looks awful to have tea partiers out there changing, claim challenging, claiming any vote by a black person was ip so fact to fraudulent. Ipso facto fraudulent. And by the way, cochran is part of the population i describe in my book mugged, which is they were the republicans fighting against segregationist democrats all segregationists were democrats, so im repeating myself. He was, cochran won his first election from a district that was majority black, majority democrat. That, i mean, the pant that he got the fact that he got federal money for an historically black college and for a Martin Luther king memorial, youre complaining about that, tea partiers . No, no and for the only issues i think matter, not only did cochran vote against obamacare which, again, all republicans did, he not only voted against marco rubios am amnesty and he did not vote for cloture and then vote against it, those of you who guys work on capitol hill probably know that. Two votes is called cloture, one to begin debate and end debate. The vote to begin debate is kind of bad form. In retrospect, sort of wish they had. But very few republicans voted against beginning debate on the schumerrubio bill. Cochran did vote against cloture to end debate. So only this audience would even understand what i just said. He voted against not only marco rubios amnesty bill, this is the clincher, cochran voted against Ronald Reagans 1986 amnesty bill. Thats pretty impressive. You vote that way, i dont care how much bacon you bring back to the state. But republicans have got to stop this infighting. I mean, its not like cochran sorry, just one more point on cochran. Its not like hes an Arlen Specter whos constantly against us. I dont really like the big spenders either, but by and large, cochran has been a solid conservative vote and has great relationship with blacks in this mississippi. He does get a lot of blacks to vote for him. It isnt true that this is a new thing. Next question. Over here. Hi. Katherine telford, im from norb virginia. I was going to northern virginia. I was going to jump back and talk about immigration, and ive heard you mention it before that if amnesty passes, then thats kind of it for the Republican Party. Like that, game over to. But, you know, what if amnesty doesnt pass . I know the demographics have already changed right. So much. Kind of what do you think where we already are means for the future of the Republican Party and, i guess, for that matter the Democratic Party as well. Im glad you asked me that because i also say amnesty to also include continuing our current immigration policies. That is amnesty on the installment plan. What we need is an immigration moratorium. 100 right now, wages are at rock bottom. You cant pick up a New York Times without hearing about income inequality. You want to cure income inequality . Stop dumping a million lowwage workers on the country. Democrats claim they care about the poor . No, no, no. No, they care about their ethnic lob byes, their bloc voters and wall street. And its great for them, but the Republican Party is the party of hard working americans, middle class, lower middle class, as i say, we always have been the party that defended africanamericans from the depredations of the democrats, and i think we should continue that. So, no, continuing the status quo gets us to the same place, end of america, just a little more slowly. I think theres a question over here. Yeah. Hi there, my names andrea, im from san diego, california. Ms. Coulter, you mentioned that your hope is that the Republican Party win over the hispanic vote, and you mentioned some ways that the democrats, you know, try to win their vote and successfully won their vote. Im wondering what you think it will take for the gop to do the same, to reach out to maybe not only the hispanic vote, but also the asian vote which is also a really rising population. Right. Those are the two main immigration groups. The main thing its going to take is time, and theres no way to get around that. It isnt just whispering Sweet Nothings in their ears. You know, moses had to live out in the desert for two generations until you had a generation born in freedom. Its just going to take time in large part, so we shouldnt think theres a Silver Bullet here. Right now the only way is to offer each more obamacare. I mean, these are people coming from places they respect used to living in freedom and being able to choose their own leaders and, i mean, obviously we have some hispanics but its striking that the longer hispanics have been here, the more likely they are to vote republican. One of my friends is the other night the other night reminded me our first year of law school there was a gal whose ethnicity was mexican, and he tells me of this horribly embarrassing moment when he said to her how long have you been, has your family been here . She said aup years a hundred years, how about you . [laughter] and she was a good republican, that jan. So, i mean, there are plenty of hispanics who have been here for generations, and we certainly have them. We dont even have all the irish yet. I think we need to work on our outreach to the irish. [laughter] i think so the main thing is not to think that theres a Silver Bullet. Okay. I think theres a question over there, peter. Thank you. My name is lindsay, and i am from missouri. You made a comment about todd akin, and aiken, and as someone from missouri, we kind of think hes crazy. I was wondering whether you could talk about what conservatives could do to keep people like todd aiken from running, kind of ruining our stereotype for our party . Well, i mean, i dont think anybody saw it coming. He wasnt endorsed by national right to life, he wasnt endorsed by sarah palin, it was the democrat candidate who was pushing him. The more shocking one, i think, was Richard Murdoch wholy all accounts was who by all accounts was smart, youd think hed be a good one. And he turns around and starts talking about a pregnancy in the case of raping with rape being a gift from god after the aiken thing. And as a political commentator, i argue both those points on their side. Thats why you should never, ever run me for any office. [laughter] and thats why, i mean, i guess one thing tea partiers i saw that generically about people who have not been involved in politics and are suddenly getting involved in politics. One thing they have to learn is these are very different skills, being a politician and running for office. I mean, you can see it with democrats have a lot of good politicians, and i dont mean about their ideas, i mean just in political skills. And id recommend to you, and youll laugh but i am right, joe biden, dick durbin, mcconnell was very good politically, and that is, you know, they know how to say things in a way that attracts the most voters while repelling the fewest number of voters. The job of a political commentator like me and like most of the people, you know, we see on tv and read and everything, were trying to change peoples minds. A politician has to take the voters as they are and win their votes. And aiken just makes me angry because he could have withdrawn, and its just so narcissistic of him. He claims he cares about abortion. He has now made it harder, perhaps impossible be, to overturn roe v. Wade. We need to take the senate. The Senate ConfirmsSupreme Court nominees. And, you know, after this huge its not like anyone did this to him. It wasnt like the Republican Party went to the polls and said, oh, we think this other candidate would be stronger. Would you mind withdrawing . No. This was a selfinflicted wound. Nobody should have even had to the ask. He should have just said, oh, okay, guys, say no more. Im out. But, no, he checks with his campaign manager, his wife, his campaign publicist, his son s and they pray together which also makes me want to strangle him and decide hes going to stay in the race, and we lost an easy pickup. Its just, it keep your eye on the ball, republicans, whether you are republicans, tea partiers, whatever. We have to win elections, we cant do anything if we dont win elections. Youll notice theres one senator, my second most hated senator. Mccains number one. Is lindsey graham. And i didnt say anything about that election because i didnt think we had a strong candidate. I mean, if id lived there, i might have worked for one for to ter, but it just or the other, but it just didnt seem worth expending one ounce of my energy unless were going to win. And thats how i look at races. If youre going to challenge a republican i wrote a column about this. Number one, i dont even want to hear about it unless he voted against amnesty. Again, what matters . Obamacare, amnesty. All republicans are against obamacare, that only leaves amnesty. So, first, i am not interested, im out unless you can tell me he voted against amnesty, and second, you better have somebody pretty good, and, third, make sure its in a race where were not going to lose the seat altogether. Well, thank you very much, ann, for coming. Thank you. [applause] oh, one more thing, um, if you dont mind my saying, im going to be signing. We have some books out there, and theres one sort of crazy things you wont have seen before, thes
