CSPAN New Hampshire Freedom Summit April 13, 2014

Minority but does not make binding on themselves. It was a debate with one of the senators. Youre going to take an american citizen and send them to Guantanamo Bay without a trial . They are dangerous. It begs the question, who gets to decide . These are people that might be terrorists. Multiple guns in the household. A raise of fans but people might be embarrassed. Ammunition. In cash. O pay nin has changed the color of their hair. Stains on clothing, missing fingers. These are characteristics of the people they are looking for. Included the constitution party. People that are prolife. People that think we should have security at the border. Want my lawyer before they send me. Some people think and some people say you can have justice and put our young people in jail for decades upon decades for nonviolent crime. Some of you may not have thought about this but its important to think about. Told a woman yesterday who me my son is 18 years old. The wrong place at the wrong time, he always wanted to be in the military. He got caught. The punishments are out of this world. Was given 55 years in prison for marijuana sales. 55 years in prison, you can kill somebody and be out and 12. Growu want our movement to and add new people, the people and the powers that be say to dilute your message. Become democrat light. We need to be more bold with our message but we have to reach out to people that have not been listening. The door is not going to open up to the Africanamerican Community until we have something to offer. Your kids and grandkids arent perfect either. You get a better lawyer. It may not be part of our group here. Besides, we are the party of justice. We need to be that party of justice. The unemployed. Anybody here been unemployed . Ady have a top time tough time . There are members that have suffered and had those problems but we have the show concern for people out of work. We have to have concern for those people and have ideas. Guess what . The president s ideas are not working. 20 Million People are out of work. Black unemployment is twice white unemployment. 3. 7 million women have been added to the rolls of poverty. Maybe its their side. If we want to grow our movement, i thought the Bank Bailouts were a horrible idea. Sending myeel like money to a guy that made 100 million a year working on wall street. And somehow me and middle america, i am supposed to send my money to bail out these bankers. That is part of why the tea party started. They were frustrated with republicans and giving up on the democrats. Are frustrated on republicans voting for the bank bailout. There is a bigger working than an honors class. I want to tell the workers of america that we are on their side. The president keeps offering you free stuff. More unemployment insurance. When is the last time that we created millions of jobs . It was under ronald reagan. Forwardld reagan come and say, lets just cut taxes for low income people . He said lets cut everyones taxes. Thats what rich people pay. More revenue came in in fact. People were carter and make more money. More revenue comes in. Say,nt let the democrats richower the taxes for people. Anyone here ever work for a poor person . We are all interconnected and weve got to get beyond this class warfare. We cant let them beat us up how manyave to people have their policies employed . Barely growing. You never get out of poverty. The government steals the value of your dollar. You have a little bit more. The gas costs more and you can go on vacation. All of this occurs from big government. 17 trillion worth of debt. Losing onesay we are million jobs a year because of the burden of this debt. We are on a precipice. The time approaches. I remember seeing patients in my and looking at my money market account. My definition of panic is when you are worried about your money market account losing its value. I still worry about the fundamentals of that. Our movement has never been about the plutocrats. The other side paints it is that. Will let the media know we are the middle class. Why isnt he helping us . [applause] the president is simply loading more people in the wagon. These are not bad people in the wagon. They are people out of work and suffering. He debate needs to be not about who cares more, it needs to be about what policy will help people more. New hampshire, send me your money, i will give you some back later doesnt work. Policy ism with the if i come to New Hampshire and i take your money, here is 100,000, go create jobs for people. Nine times out of 10, i will pick the wrong person because the marketplace chooses. Think about solyndra. President took 500 million from the middle class and gave it to one of the richest people in our country. That doesnt sound like its good for the middle class. The president says a lot of things but doesnt quite get around to doing them. Phone . Got a cell you are under surveillance. The president says hes not listening, hes just looking. Even thats not exactly true. They occasionally are. If we want to grow our movement bigger, the message resonates with some young people. Young kids on the right and on the left, this message resonates. They dont like our message, they just dont have any money. You have to talk to people about things they are concerned with. Thosed of listening to supposedly in charge of the party that want to dilute the message, we keep our core message. They take it to people. It we will be the dominant party again. I love the image of that. We need to proclaim our message with the passion of patrick like a man coming over the. Ill singing with optimism no matter what walk of life you are. We once again proclaim our message like a man coming over the hill singing, we will be the dominant party. Is senator ted cruz. [applause] wow. [applause] god bless New Hampshire. [applause] afp. Less wow. Each ofilled to be with you today. Thank you for that incredibly warm welcome. Blessed to me are have two little girls at home. Caroline and catherine. Caroline is five and catherine is three. Indeed. For every one of you who are parents, you know god makes every child very different. Is the essence of sweetness. She is just a sweet, sweet little girl. Rascal. Is a , heidi had those girls up in d. C. One weekend. A beautiful fall day. We decided to show the girls mount vernon. We are driving down the George Washington parkway. The trees are turning. They are red and orange and yellow. We are driving down and caroline is sitting behind me kicking the back of my seat like she always does. Catherine is sitting on the other side. Caroline asks her sister, catherine, what do you want to do when you grow up . Catherine says, i want to work in the u. S. Senate. I want to work with daddy. Boring. Says, thats we are going to be rock stars instead. Zinger. Tosses out the besides, daddy will be dead by then. [laughter] thats a real conversation. Im sitting there like, hello, im right in front of you. De me wonderake me if maybe caroline had been speaking with republican leadership. [laughter] you are the leadership washington journal continues [applause] even more in portly, you are the leadership. There is nothing as scary in washington as what im going to face tonight. Sext week, caroline turne six. When i get off the airplane, im going to a princess sleepover party. [laughter] last week, caroline told me, daddy, you are not invited because you are not a girl. I said, sweetheart, if it is in my house, daddy is always invited. She proceeded to put her hands on her hips and say, fine, then we are going to play attack the daddy. In a few hours, im going to walk in my home to be greeted by 11 sixyearold girls dressed as disney princesses try to tackle me. Let me ask for your prayers that i might see tomorrow morning. Thrilled to be back here. To be back with so many friends New Hampshire. Im thrilled to encourage you all are here because there is a sense of urgency to whats happening in this country. You all are here because you understand that this is not in or near retirement politics. Archedeats we are facing her neck. Ie most common thing hear is, ted, im scared. Im scared for the direction of this country. Im scared for my kids and grandkids. Were bankrupting the greatest country in the history of the world. Profoundly optimistic. Together, we will turn this nation around. [applause] let me tell you three things we need to do to turn this nation around. Number one, we need to stand for liberty. [applause] liberty has never been more under assault that it is right now. This administration has tried to go down the bill of rights and violate each one of them. Irs that doesnt respect the first amendment. It is going after individual citizens saying, tell us what books you are reading. Tell us the content of your prayers. Federal government has no business asking any american is the content of our prayers. [applause] i do kind of wish the answer had been, forgive them, father, for they know not what they do. You look at the second amendment. You dont need a punchline. [laughter] you just say his name. The next time youre at a party,alk up to someone and just say joe biden and close your mouth. They will crack up laughing. [laughter] said, if anybody attacks your house, go outside with a Double Barrel shotgun and fire both into the air. That is very good advice. If it so happens you are being attacked by a flock of geese. [laughter] look at the fourth and fifth amendments. Our right to privacy. How many of you have your cell phones . Please like to ask you, leave your cell phones on. I want to make sure president obama hears every word i have to say to them. [laughter] you look at the 10th amendment with the federal government trying to intrude into the prerogatives of the states all across the board. Things like trying to set educational standards. We need to repeal common core. [applause] and then theres the pattern of lawlessness in this administration. Ignoring law after law after law. If this president does not agree with the law, he refuses to enforce it. Whether immigration laws or welfare laws or marriage laws or drug laws. Pleasebama care take obama care [laughter] 30 times this president has simply unilaterally changed the law. No authority in the law for that. How many of you will remember sixth grade civics . Your member schoolhouse rock how a bill becomes a law . Apparently the president missed that tday. We have never had a president asserted the authority to ignore and unilaterally changed the law. This should trouble everybody. Anybody who cares about rule of law and the constitution. When you have a president who can pick and choose which laws to follow and which laws to ignore, you no longer have a president. [applause] to stand for liberty. Number two, we need to stand for growth and opportunity. [applause] officeer one priority in from the day i was elected, bringing back jobs and economic growth. The reason is simple. That is the top priority of the xans i am proud to represent and the priority of americans all caps this country. You want to know why people are frustrated at washington . The biggest divide we have in this country is not between democrats and republicans. It is between entrenched politicians in both parties in washington and the American People. [applause] all across this country, people are frustrated going, what is wrong with them . They get elected and go to washington and they stop listening to us. They stop listening. The top priority of the American People at his jobs and economic growth. In the year i have been in harry reid senate, we have not spent a minute talking about jobs and the number of. It is simply not a priority. Aboute not talk fundamental tax reform. We should abolish the irs. [applause] for five years, we have been trapped in the great stagnation under president obama. His policies are not working. The rich and powerful, those who walk the corridors of power are getting fat and happy. Economic obama agenda. The top one percent the president loves to demagogue are in the higher share of our National Income since 1920. Nothing happened after 1928. [laughter] the people who have been hurt the most by the Obama Administration are the most vulnerable among us. Young people come hispanics, africanamericans, single moms. People who are struggling to climb the mer economic ladder. I think of all of the issues we face from the perspective of my dad. 57 years ago, my dad fled cuba. And torturedrison and beaten almost to death in a cuban jail. He came to america at age 18, fling the batista regime. He could not speak in the spirit he had 100 so and was underwear. I dont advise caring money in your underwear. [laughter] dishes, job washing making . 50 an hour. He worked seven days a week and paid his way through school and went on to start a Small Business and to work towards the american dream. Policies myhe father was still washing dishes today, the odds are very high he wouldve lost his job because of the 1. 7 trillion dollars in new taxes from this administration. Because of crushing regulations that are hammering Small Businesses. Small businesses generate two thirds of new jobs in our economy. It is kids like my dad were the ones bearing the brunt, getting hammered by the obama economic agenda. Had been lucky enough to not lose his job, the odds are overwhelming he wouldve had his hours forcibly reduced to 2829 hours a week. You cannot pay her bills or theater kids or pay your way through college on 20 hours week. The reason we should support is it is foundational to opportunity. The opportunity of everyone to achieve the american dream. [applause] i think every republican should have two words tattooed on their hands. Growth and opportunity. Im so inspired by you all, i might get an eagle tattooed on my chest. [laughter] [applause] exactly. Leads to my third and final point. How do we turn this country around . Empower the people. [applause] i am powerfully optimistic and hopeful because of each of you. The answers are not going to come from washington. Re is nothing new under the sun. We are we are right now is early like the late 1970s. You had jimmy carter in the white house and you had the same failed economic policy. Outofcontrol spending and taxes and regulation. Producing the exact same misery and stagnation. You had the same reckless Foreign Policy and the same naivete making the world a much more dangerous place. We sawoss this country, a Grassroots Movement of millions of men and women who came together and became the reagan revolution. That did not come from washington. Washington despised ronald reagan. It came from the American People. The reason i am optimistic it is, i am blessed to have the opportunity serving the senate to travel across the country. At the same thing is happening all over this country. Men andwaking up women who have never been involved in politics are looking up saying, what is happening to this country . Were losing our freedom. Were losing the future for our kids and grandkids. Lets get back. Lets get back to the free market principle. Lets get back to the constitutional liberties that this nation was built on. [applause] im spending my time, not focused on washington, not trying to convince washington of anything because they are not listening. Ist im trying to do instead help energize and mobilize the American People. All of you who said you had cell phones before, if you are willing to come together and join a grassroots army, i would ask each of you with your cell phones to text the word growth to the number 33733. 33733, text the word growth. We will not turn the country we are able to energize and mobilize millions of americans to hold washington accountable. I dont know if your member the movie, the usual suspects. Where they talk about the greatest trick the devil ever played. To convince the world he did not exist. Lie that the media tries to play is to convince us that the American People dont believe in the values this country was built on. It is simply not true. Democrats, ifto you listen to the media, although i repeat myself [laughter] [applause] they will tell you there is no hope. They will tell you we cannot turn this around. They will tell you that you cant stop obama care. They will tell you that Kathleen Sibelius resigning is a result of obama cares success. True, i hope every democrat will follow her path and resign as well. [applause] you want to see the power of the grassroots . Last summer and last fall, millions of americans rose up and said they dont want the disaster. We dont want the suffering that is coming from obama care. , so many millions of americans say that we elevated the debate. Where are we right now as a result of your efforts . At hispresident obama is lowest Approval Rating is ever been in six years in office. [applause] today, obama care is at its lowest Approval Rating it has ever been since the day it was signed into law. [applause] you want to know where the country is . It is often a good barometer to look at the latenight comics. Said, so,jay leno president obama tol called me ad said, if you like your job, you can keep it. [laughter] [applause] a couple of weeks later, jay went back to the same theme. , holidays are coming up, thanksgiving the first thanksgiving, the pilgrims said to the indians, if you like your land, you can keep it. [laughter] [applause] let me tell you something. As a result of the men and women in this room and as the result of millions of men and women standing up and saying obama care is a disaster, it is not working, it is hurting millions of americans, i am convinced we are going to repeal every single word of obama care. [applause] it will not come from washington. It will come from each of you. New hampshire is the live free or die state. Still, and forever. [applause] texas, that is a sentiment we can relate to. Let me tell you something that my father has said many times. I saw freedom taken away and cuba. I will die before he let it happen again in this country. [applause] that is why we are here. That is why you are here. To keep spreading the message of freedom to your friends and family and neighbors. , together,y to say lets come together and get back to the free market principle and get back to the constitutional liberty. Get back to the incredible america offers. A i am humbled and thrilled to stand with each and every one of you as we Work Together to bring america and Work Tog
