CSPAN Key Capitol Hill Hearings April 5, 2016

Would combat or prevent any sort of recession. I dont think he has done that at this point in time. Yes put america on notice. To eliminate the debt in an eightyear period of time, i question that. You have to have a combination of reduction of spending and pay down in what he wants to do, which is a most 2 trillion a year. Most folks dont understand. 19 trillion, to be able to pay that down based on a 4 trillion expenditure a year, is nearly impossible without significant reduction in government services. Host thanks for weighing in. Trying to get as many calls as we can as we are waiting for ted cruz. Donald trump will be live on cspan two. Lets go to Canyon Country in brenda,ia and hear from who is a Hillary Clinton supporter. Forer hello, thank you taking my call. I am retired from the California State University and i am married to a man was a republican. I would like you to hear what i am going to say. I am for hillary. I have been for hillary since 2008. She did not do well that year, by now know but i know she will stand up again and i am praying so hard for hillary to become our first woman president. I like sanders. But he nice person is a socialist. I come from a socialist ,overnment country and i know for the United States, as the leader of the whole universe, cannot be a socialist country. It is not possible.

Live shortly to waukesha wisconsin to hear from ted cruz. Donald trump on cspan2 in the walkie. We hear from don in tampa, florida, supporting Hillary Clinton. Caller thanks for having me on. One thing i want our democrats to remember. Bernie sanders is an independent. A couple weeks ago, he called democrat so he could raise money. He is not a true democrat. He is an independent. If he were to win, would he go back to his independent ways . We dont need a revolution. America is the greatest country on this earth. There is only one true democrat running, and that is Hillary Clinton. She has proven what she will do for all people. Her husband has proven it was the best time of our lives when he was president , and i think she will do the same. , but be a little biased any woman who votes against Hillary Clinton is doing a does justice to all women a disjustice to all women. Host this is tom, who supports Bernie Sanders. Caller good evening. I want to say that bernie has. Ears of legislative experience from the executive side and as a representative and a senator. Member what hillary answered with when she was asked the question about enemies. She named the republicans. How is she going to get anything done when she calls them the enemy . You have to deal with people. You dont call them enemies. Healthier than hillary by far. Are you kidding . Look at her. Her face is all puffy. She is not a healthy person.

It is taking a lot of guts. We are going to take you live on cspan to waukesha, wisconsin for a rally for ted cruz one day ahead of the primary introduced by former candidate Carly Fiorina. Iorina thank you for coming out to support ted cruz. I have been in wisconsin a week. I had a brief detour to north dakota. I love wisconsin. I have done the squeaky cheese curds thing. [laughter] honestly, snow . I was not prepared for that. Thise come to appreciate state and the people of wisconsin so much, not just because you stood with your brave governor and got real reform done and showed the rest of the country what real activism and conservatism is all about, but because it has just been a delight to be here all week. I so appreciate your governor, who i have had the opportunity to travel around on the cruise in theh an last session last several days. I so appreciate your state senator, and i have to tell you, i so appreciate charlie sykes. [applause]. E did his job and Vicki Mckenna did her job. [applause] they did their job. I think that charlie is absolutely right in what he said to you a couple of moments ago. The people of wisconsin have an Incredible Opportunity to show the rest of the nation how it is done, to show the rest of the nation what real conservative activists know about the state of this nation and who is the leader who can bring our nation to a better place. I want you to send a really loud and strong message tomorrow. If you needed any more motivation to do that, i want to tell you about something i read in the newspaper this morning. I read that here is a test. Where do you think more expensive wine is consumed than anywhere else in the nation . You got it, sir. Washington d c. I was a chief executive in Silicon Valley for many years and Silicon Valley, there are founders,tech billionaires. Silicon valley has been for a long time the wealthiest area in the United States. They are number two now. Gets was number one . Washington. You see, what has been going on, folks, you know this. The majority of americans know this. What has been going on for way too long is our government is getting more and more powerful, bigger and bigger, more incompetent, more corrupt. We have a system now where there is so much economic power concentrated in the hands of so few and so much political power concentrated in the hands of so few, that system works if you are a big company, but it does not work if you are a little company. It works if you are powerful and wealthy and wellconnected, but it does not work if you are just an american. The system is rigged, folks, and you figured it out. That is why that system has to be challenged in a serious way. Let me tell you something about donald trump. Have voted forho donald trump, but i know people who think they are going to vote for donald trump. I like and respect those people. Those people think they are voting for donald trump because they believe he will challenge the system, because they believe he is an outsider. Donald trump isnt going to challenge the system. He is the system. [applause] he is the system. , Hillary Clinton and donald trump are two sides of the same coin. Hillary clinton has made her millions. She has made her hundred million, to be exact, selling influence and access from inside the system and donald trump has made his billions buying people like Hillary Clinton off. He isnt going to challenge the system, he isnt going to change the system. He will protect the system, preserve the system, take advantage of the system. It is what he has done all his life. It is not just important for you to vote tomorrow. It is important to talk to the people you work and worship with them when they say, i think im voting for trump, tell them. The system is not working anymore for us. The system is rigged. That is not the guide was going to challenge the system. The guy who will challenge the system is a real constitutional conservative. Know, in college, im traveling around with all these brilliant lawyers, trade cruise ted cruz, harvard law, mike lee. I was a history of philosophy major in college. Heres the thing i know from studying history and philosophy. Heres the thing our founders knew. Human nature does not change that much. Circumstances change, but human nature does not. Everywhere, regardless of their circumstances, are looking to leave a live a life of dignity and meaning. It is true that when you concentrate too much power in the hands of too fuel, that power is always abused. To constitution was written put forward what was, at the time, a radical ideal, actually. It is a visionary idea. It was a radical idea that said each individual life is gifted by god and filled with possibility. Individuals have rights, inalienable rights, to find and use their godgiven gifts. It asfathers talk about the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Those rights come from god and cannot be taken away by manner government. [applause] but the flipside of our constitution is if you read it carefully, as i know you have, againsttitution bars the concentration of power. It is why a constitutional conservative is so important in the white house because a constitutional conservative knows that unless and until we outside money and power of washington dc and restore it to the citizens of this nation, the communities of this nation, the states of this nation, we will never fix what ails us. [applause] i have had the great privilege of living, traveling, working all over the world for decades. I have done business work, i have done charitable work, ive done policy work. I can say to you with absolute certainty that it is only in this nation that a young woman can start the way i did, typing, filing, answering the phones for a nine person Real Estate Firm in the middle of a deep recession, go on one day to become the chief executive of what we turned into the Largest Technology company in the world and run for the presidency of the United States. That is only possible in this nation. [applause] we have come to a point in our nations history where too Many Americans feel as if those possibilities are no longer real for them. We have record numbers of men who were not working. We have record numbers of women living in poverty, young people who dont know that the American Dream applies to them. I ran for office because i know to restore possibilities to every american, regardless of their circumstances, will require a constitutional conservative and someone who has the courage to challenge the status quo in the system. [applause] do you know how i got here . I will tell you how. After i suspended my campaign, there was no path for me forward. Of someone someone who is a good conservative is get behind someone with a good path. Kasich, get the memo. [laughter] before i everause had a conversation with ted cruz about endorsing him, i had to go vote in my home state of virginia. My husband and i went to the voting booth and my husband frank and i have been together for almost 35 years. As we are walking into the voting booth [applause] he says to me, honey, i am voting for you. You know, because he is my husband and he loves me. I get in the voting booth and i see that president ial ballot and i see my name on the ballot. That was kind of a thrill. I have to tell you the truth. I kind of deposit. I thought about all my. Upporters i kind of paused i thought about my supporters and thought the stakes are too high. We need ause constitutional conservative. Iran because we need someone who will challenge the system. I checked the box for ted cruz. Not only did i have a conversation with him endorsement, this is not some deal. This is about what is right for the nation. We know he is a constitutional conservative. How do we know that . He fought for the constitution over and over again in front of the Supreme Court and he has won over and over again. Whether it was our right to religious liberty or right to say one nation under god, he has fought and won. Dr. Ben carson, a man i have known many years, said Something Interesting when he e
