CSPAN Washington This Week August 11, 2013

Intervention and things all over the world. It is interesting to see how that will play out. We did have a colorful conversation. I think some of the remarks he made about drone use really kind of exposes the lack of a very deep and serious debate in this country about the future of using drones. I asked him would you have a problem if russia was using drones on the chinese, he said i would not have a problem. That is a little his concerts and. Thanks so much. We do not even get to half the questions. Thank you for your time and questions.

It has been a joy to be back here and meet a lot of old friends and go to a lot of places i have been booked for. And theresrill have my name on the wall. I said, i guess i have been here before. Sake thomas times went to the blue bunny ice cream parlor. [laughter] back ineen great to be to visit with folks yesterday at the fair. We centered our trip around being here. First of all, thank you, bob. Antiwhite to you. Karen and i we entered into this race put our faith into things. In this order. And god and tried to walk the path he is laid before us and to put our faith in iowa. To make ourselves available to people here and talk about the issues and give them a chance to get to know me. Not these folks down here, but through the folks sitting across the table at the coffee shop. [applause] and so, i have a lot of faith still that the people i was in 2016 and beyond to use their good judgment and do what no other state has the opportunity to do. I am back here to say thank you and to speak into an important issue that we are dealing with and the conservative movement. Before i do that, i want to pick up on what bob said. We are very excited. We are using a young man from we are our contract putting an addition in our house starting this week. An elevator and handicap bella isbecause of getting too big for us to carry. That is the best investment we have ever made. [applause] i wanted to come here because i cannot think of a better place to come and talk about what is going on in the National Debate within the Republican Party. Theres a group of folks interest enough from those on the right of the public and party joined those on the left of the Republican Party sank would be to talk about more of one thing at the last saying we need to talk about more of one thing and lets of one inc. I want to share my outs. It is interesting that moderate republicans, the big cities, the political experts that got us through the last election [laughter] they are the ones who are saying and joining with the ones on the far right who are saying we need to talk about economics. We need to talk about jobs and entrepreneurs and business and how we are going to build this economy. Listen to the republic candidates for the last couple of elections and the rhetoric that is coming out of both of these sites, it celebrates the free market system which is the greatest system in the history of the world. Heroes of the entrepreneurs, the big businesses that have been successful. All well and good. But we are missing something in that message. I talked about it touring the campaign all over the country. Something a lot of folks did not really capture when they said, how did he do so well . Third that over one i am sorry, two thirds of americans do not go to college. Very few of them will be entrepreneurs. And we need to talk to them, too. We need to celebrate again. We can not only support the job creators, but the jobholders. We have cap a message for them. We have to have a message for them. [applause]on the night i got an yourtunity, i inc. Thank mitt romney for speaking. There was placards on every seat that said we built this. If you recall, president obama has the data some folks cast igated some folks is that they did not build their business on their own. I was backstage and i watched one after another of people of comeaces and men and women forward, Business People and talk about how they built their business. Seized one time did we talking abouty working for the man or woman who built the business and how that helped them and their families. We need to be able to communicate to the folks that hold the jobs and tell them and put a platform together that focuses on them. Andrybody in america money is everything to them. A lot of folks want to spend time with their families. Work and community groups. Spend time at their church. We as republicans believe that is a good inc. We do not talk about it. And we do not talk to them. That is a good thing. It is to take a page out of our book and start putting forth an upnda of ideas to raise folks who want to vote for us. You side and the last election. They do not want to vote for president obama. But at least he went and talked to them and about them. We did not do that. We marginalized them. St and foremost, we need first and foremost, we need to reject the idea that if we build to becoming, everybody will be fine. If we build the economy, everybody will be fine. Most people have holes in their boats. We need to talk about people who have holes in their boats. We all do. We all need help from each other. [applause] the second inc. As we be to talk less about the culture area thing is we need to talk less about the culture. The people who do this is who do not want to talk about culture in the first place. As a result, do not engage as we have and this party. I will give you an example. When i was running for president , i went to a breakfast to some the wealthiest backers in new york. I sat down at this breakfast and they grilled me for half an hour on my moral and cultural position. I stopped and said you have other candidates appear area did you ask them the same questions they have theons . Same positions as i do. They looked at me and said, you are different. I said, why . Because you mean it. [applause] dont you think the American Public knows when a group of people get in front of them and talk about things when they do not mean it . How can we win this debate if you have people talking who do not mean it . Who do not have the passion . We are losing this debate not because of politics to malacca us be honest about it. A litigious did not change the culture. Politicians did not change the culture. Popular culture changed. We have a responsibility. We as conservatives should not just be involved in the political front area is what the left does it better than we do. They lived up there they lived out there believes. They do not just play politics. They take politics into everything they do. And they mean it. They are passionate. There are twice as many conservatives and liberals. Has been the same for 40 or 50 years area yet this country continues to go in their direction. Why . They work harder at it. They understand what moves the country. Aristotle said give me the story and i will control the nation in a generation. Who tells the stories to your children and to you . People like you . Stephen baldwin is out here. People like him do not tell stories in hollywood. If they do, they are lowbudget films that never get any attention. Nothing we do about it . We sit back passively and try to protect our family from it. Americaage child in spends eight hours in front of one of these screens. Eight hours a day. Year. On average, they spent 10 minutes a day on average talking to their parents are going to church. Who is raising your children petsmart children . It is not what was at one time for 150 years the storytellers, it was the family. , civic andchurch community organizations. They imparted the moral imagination. It is no longer the case. For us to think when the country back politically with the culture shows your children that people like them are weird, people who hold her values are it is noateful wonder young people are supporting the other side. Hey do not know the truth here is my challenge to each and every one of you. To engage. Ive set up a couple of organizations. I am working with patriot voices. We are engaged with the political front. Onare going to be focus developing an agenda for the average american so we could communicate in terms of the economy that they can understand free markets and principles we believe will help them and programs to demonstrate that. Particularly the folks that are the two thirds that are not going to college. Secondly, i started a company and movie production and Distribution Company based in dallas, texas. We are going to make it an family films. [applause] age and family films. We are going to go out and make family films and give you the American Public the tolls to go out and change the culture. To bring people in and reaffirm their values to show the truth. Years, the greatest creators of art were people in and around the church. The great music, the great sculptors, the great painters, all visual arts as well as musical arts were all in and around the church. But in the last 100 years, the worst art has been coming out of the church. You want to see films, europe is the inferior production to see something that reaffirms your values. Now, i say to you , cant we make god a beautiful . [applause] why cant we tell the truth, the good and the beautiful in a way that is compelling and entertaining and inspiring . That is my mission. Im going to stay involved and be involved in politics to shape this debate. It would are going to be successful, as a party and more importantly in this country, we need to have a revitalized culture. It we need to engage in it. That is where you come in. Breatheslives and their values. This administration wants to make sure that does not happen. You already seen policies that are being put forward that is changing the freedom of religion in this country. , internationally the state department use a term not freedom of religion but freedom of worship. It is ok to be in the four walls of the church and worship, would that andt do not take practice outside of the church. They will restrict you. Beginning to happen already and it will explode. I would never get given by the cardinal in chicago i will byer forget the quote given the cardinal in chicago. He said i expect to die in my bed. I expect my successor to die in prison. And his successor to die a martyr. Unless we begin to do what they do a use not the policies. Cannot agree with the established republicans, but we need to change our tactics to be more like they are. [applause] what do we have to do . How do we fix this . I always go back to the revolution. How did we win the revolution . Do we have better soldiers or leadership . More resources . More people . We are fighting not only the british, but the loyalists. How did we win in the American Revolution . Because we wanted it more than a bit than they did. They want it more, the left. We are complacent that things will be ok because we are americans and everything will be ok. But not for such a time as this. This a time to work each and everyone you has to engage. Againstr business is your values, do not sit and take it. They do not. They make it uncomfortable. They made uncomfortable for their businesses and their schools, further community groups, civic organizations. Look at the boy scouts. The back cover the majority of people . Did that come from the majority of people . No, they cared to fight. We will be the generation to let america slip through and become a descendent not of the American Revolution but of the french revolution and government given rights. This is not to stop just in politics, but in every aspect of your being. Heres my challenge to you. I need you to think about and pray about it. I need you to pray about what god is asking you to do. You are here for a reason to hear this message. You need to pray about what he wants you to do in every aspect of your life to live what you believe and live the First Principles of america. And go out and make a difference in our country. , numberwice as strong wise as they are. Passion,pt the same the same commitment as the other side does, and put the pressure on hollywood, support good films, Good Television and encourage your children to get involved in the arts. Do not discourage them. Encourage them. Make a stand. Prepare them for when they go to college. Send them to college. If your contributor to colleges that of burnt the minds of our children, stop giving the money. Minds of our children, stop giving them money. [applause] you need to live it. That is the word live it. You can say i am here in iowa. What can i do . You are a fairly important state as you know. Areare also the heartland if a few people gather in california and new york can hawkeyes cantough change them back to. Back, too. [applause] again to say thank you for giving me the opportunity to be able to have our voice heard in the last election. And now it is back on you can be at back on you. It is time to let our voices be heard and save america. God bless you. Thank you. [applause] more from the family leadership summit with businessman and real estate mogul donald trump. He talked about the state of the u. S. Economy and gave his views on the debate of immigration. His remarks are 30 minutes. [applause] thank you. Wow. Wow. Thank you very much. That is nice. Thank you. Honor. T is my bob has become a friend of mine over the years. There are a lot of things that people do not know. Maybe we should start with putting up that confirmation picture. Can we have it . Come on, put it up. Do you believe this . Do you see it . Isnt he cute . Not really. That was my confirmation. First Presbyterian Church in queens, new york. A great group of people. I still remember it. I am a little older. That is my real hair. [laughter] [applause] it is an honor to be here. Ive always loved iowa cubs the people of iowa will are hard working people. Something we have to see more of and this country when you look at what is going on the United States. What is going on in the country we love, we need people to work and we need leadership that is smart. [applause] interestingly, we are a free trade country. It is not really free trade if you look what is going on in the manipulation of other currencies especially china. If you haves ok really smart leadership. When your leadership is not up to par thomas when it is not smart, sometimes your leadership is incompetent, free trade is really had for us. We are in the wrong end. When i look at what is going on with this country, when i look word youillion, the did not hear 10 years ago, it did not exist. That is all you hear. 17 trillion in debt. You look at deficits that are recordsetting. They are not going to get better. The market is false. About two years ago am i said i was going to invest in the stock market. The market had to go up because the federal reserve. I said the market has to go up. It giving you free money. That is a false economy. I better not speak too much about it. It is a false economy. It is not real. When you look at unemployment 7. 4, 7. 4 , it is probably anywhere to 15 17 . It is incredible. [applause] the other day, the numbers came out. They were not good. Lots of bad things were happening. The only good thing that happened was 7. 5 to 7. 4 . It was that anything is, how come it keeps going down for smart people stopped looking for work. Keeps going down . People stopped looking for work. They do not count to. How phony can anything get . It is not real and it is not right. We are kidding ourselves. Our country is in serious trouble. We have problems like we have not had it before. And we have jobs that are just disappearing. Is inpublican party serious trouble. Because we have elections coming up we have to win and defeat obamacare. Whether people like or do not like, it is killing the business and is going to destroy the base of the country. Different all of the senators, many others who are so strongly opposed to obamacare. You have to give them credit for what they are trying to do. They know where we are going. It is not a good place. Trouble, buts in our country has tremendous potential with the right leadership. Tremendous potential. We have so many different issues that have to be solved. I was listening to bob and a couple of your speakers. It is true, you need border security. You have to have it. Stay andme in and they they stay. If people come in illegally, they get green cards. The green card expires and they go. Illegally, wee in need border security. It is very simple. Either have a country where you dont. And having a country starts with urity at your borders to securities at your border. You just cannot continue to do what were doing right now. Now when it comes to immigration, have you to do the right thing. Have you to in your own heart, youre dealing with lifes and human beings, you have to do the right thing. But its got to be done in a very very smart and my thod cal method. He republicans, every single one, lets say i hear the number 11 million illegals. Well i hear the number could be much higher than that. If you do something where they get a vote, just remember, and i think i was the first one to say i
