we could have had hillary here
0:27
but we couldn't find a foreign nation to foot the bill
0:32
this is a room full a Patriots
0:40
america is in jeopardy and we are met today on a great battlefield
0:50
the men and women who are gathered here today are gathered to fight for freedom
0:55
in our country
1:02
and the men and women to C pac
1:04
are going to play a fundamental decision
1:08
in how we turn this country around
1:12
the men and women gathered here today are gonna play a critical role
1:20
in reigniting the Mericle America
1:24
how do we do that
1:29
how do we win how do we bring back the merrick all that is America
1:34
god bless number one
1:45
we'll reassemble the reagan coalition
1:50
we bring together fiscal conservatives
1:57
and social conservatives and national security conservatives
2:00
we stand strong for economic growth but we also stand
2:07
for life and marriage
2:14
we defend the constitutional rights
2:17
but we also stand and lead the fight against
2:21
I sis and a nuclear Iran we need all three legs
2:33
up the proverbial republicans school not one leg not to
2:37
but the way we get to 51 percent is we bring together conservatives
2:43
and libertarians and evangelicals and women and young people
2:47
and hispanics and reagan democrats
2:50
and how do we do that we do that fundamentally
2:59
by standing with the people
3:02
and not with Washington Washington
3:10
what's Obamacare the people want Liberty
3:15
Washington
3:20
wants amnesty the people want true love law
3:29
washington wants
3:31
power over the Internet the people what
3:36
freedom online and don't believe President Obama when he says if you like
3:45
your internet
3:46
you can keep your internet Hillary Clinton
3:53
embodies the corruption in washington
4:03
way need to run a populist campaign
4:06
standing for hard working men and women we need to take the power out of
4:14
washington
4:14
and bring it back to the american people
4:25
now how do you differentiate there lots a terrific candidates 2016 looks like
4:31
it's gonna be a crowded race
4:33
and there are a lot of people here who are powerful they're
4:37
inspirational they make your heart store they inspire me every day
4:42
how we differentiate well we all know that any campaign
4:49
every candidate comes up and tells you on the most conservative guy that's ever
4:54
lived
4:55
just what they say I'm pretty confident you haven't seen any speakers come up
5:01
here yet say
5:02
actually I'm I'm a squishy moderate stance for nothing a pretty sure none of
5:09
them actually stood here instead
5:10
every one of them will say
5:14
you bet your whole deadly I am as conservative as all get out
5:17
well we have a way
5:21
to tell the difference the word tells us you shall know them by their fruits
5:33
and so I would encourage all the men and women gathered here today
5:37
demand action not talk
5:47
if a candidate tells you they oppose Obamacare
5:50
fantastic wanna be stood up and fought against
5:54
if a candidate tells you they oppose
6:01
that debt and debt ceiling that are crushing our kids and grandkids
6:05
terrific when you stood up and fought against
6:09
if a candidate says they oppose President Obama's the illegal and
6:15
unconstitutional
6:17
executive amnesty terrific
6:20
when if you stood up and fought against if a candidate tells you that they
6:28
support the first amendment freedom of speech religious liberty
6:32
that they support the second amendment the right to keep and bear arms
6:35
fantastic when did you start up
6:44
talk is cheap the candidate tells you they support like the candidate tell you
6:49
they support marriage when have you stood
6:52
and fought if I can it tells you they stand with the nation of Israel
7:02
terrific when have you stood
7:13
if a candidate says that they oppose Iran acquiring nuclear weapons
7:17
capability
7:18
fantastic when have you stood
7:21
and fought actions speak far far louder than words
7:31
we need to look to people who walk the walk and don't just talk the talk at the
7:38
candidate says
7:40
they oppose Common Core fantastic when did you stood up and fought against
7:45
you know I had a former boss to use to say
7:53
if I never accused a being a Christian
7:56
I'd like for that to be enough evidence
7:59
to convict me now that is powerfully powerfully true
8:07
and it is equally true being a conservative if you're really a
8:11
conservative you will have been in the trenches you will bear the scars
8:15
you will have been fighting the fight and I'll tell you what the man when it
8:20
went to C pac understand it's that the biggest divide we have in this country
8:25
it's not between Republicans and Democrats
8:28
the biggest divide we have in this country is between
8:32
career politicians in Washington and the american people
8:36
the
8:49
so if you have a candidate
8:51
who stood against democrats that's right
8:54
wanted even willing to stand up against republicans
9:03
what have you been willing to stand with the people
9:07
this is a fundamental
9:11
choice in our country
9:15
fundamental direction at the men and women here
9:19
will decide it was forty years ago it's a pack
9:23
that President Reagan said the path to victory
9:27
is painting not pale pastels but
9:31
bold colors I am convinced 2016
9:41
is going to be an election very very much like nineteen eighty
9:46
now it's worth remembering
9:52
in 1980 when reagan ran Washington despised break
9:58
member reagan had primary gerald ford
10:02
the sitting Republican president in 1976
10:06
you wanna take off republican leadership
10:10
come within an inch up toppling the incumbent Republican Press
10:17
but President Reagan told
10:21
the people of this country the Republican Party is not a fraternal
10:25
order
10:25
we
10:29
share philosophical commitments to freedom and the republican party matters
10:36
only in so far in in so long as we stand
10:40
for liberty and the Constitution and for the american people
10:52
our nation is in crisis at home
10:55
millions of americans are hurting Obamacare
10:58
is a train wreck and that's actually not fair to train tracks
11:08
and all abroad
11:09
america's receded from leadership in the world we see the president
11:14
describing the horrible terrorist attacks in Paris is a quote
11:20
random active violence there's nothing random about
11:26
radical Islamists going into a kosher deli to murder Jews for their Jewish
11:31
faith
11:38
went 21 Coptic Christians are beheaded
11:41
we see the president saying they were simply Egyptian citizens
11:45
they were murdered for their Christian faith in the president of the united
11:50
states needs to stand up and defend
12:04
to turn this country around it will not come from washington it will come from
12:08
the american people and so I would ask everyone to view
12:11
if you will join our grassroots army
12:15
then take out your cell phone and text
12:18
the word Constitution to the number 33
12:23
733 let me give that to you again take out your cell phone and text
12:28
the word Constitution just 337 33
12:33
it will be chill view empowering and energizing We the People
12:38
that turns the country around because I'll tell you as my father said to me
12:43
many many times after he fled cuba
12:46
I saw freedom taken away once
12:50
and I'll die before I let it happen ha
12:56
thank you and god bless you the
13:05
hello placard
13:08
give it up senator Ted Cruz
13:12
already left the two years
13:17
and we can fundamentally transform America
13:22
back to what it was and that's great happy about that senator
13:27
great to see you it's an honor to be here I I got some questions
13:30
someone from Twitter and Facebook actual people should weigh you did a 21 hour
13:35
filibuster 21 hours
13:39
the purpose was to strip funding from the health care bill member that the 21
13:44
i watch most
13:45
by so your fellow republicans Rick Santorum called your bomb-thrower
13:52
Senator McCain said it was an agonizing
13:56
Odyssey and then use the term wacko bird senator Graham said it was
14:01
hostage-taking in political overreach
14:03
I didn't say it relaxed
14:08
my question to you senator
14:11
what do you say back to those senators that criticize you for standing up for
14:16
your promise
14:16
look the simple pointy ears we shouldn't be listening to Washington
14:26
we should be listening to the American people Obama Care
14:29
is a disaster millions of Americans have lost their jobs
14:33
have lost their health care have lost their doctor and John
14:37
I seem to recall that many of those critics said
14:40
when so many of the men and women in this room stood up and said stop the
14:43
train wreck that is Obamacare
14:45
the washington pundits all said oh this'll be a disaster
14:50
this'll keep Harry Reid as majority leader forever now
14:54
did I miss that in the last election the key to change is not just growing
15:04
government in Washington the key to change is a result of that fight
15:08
millions of men and women across this country rose up and said
15:11
stop the disaster that is Obamacare in November 2012
15:15
republicans across this country campaign saying if you give us a majority
15:20
will stop Obamacare and what happened we won the biggest title wave since the
15:25
1920s
15:26
and Lee retired Harry Reid is majority the my next question
15:33
we have a similar fight going on just a show of hands
15:37
how many would like to see the republicans defund
15:41
the president's executive order on immigration hi
15:45
the
15:47
my question to you is it seems in the senate
15:49
there's a disagreement once again with you in some
15:53
Republican senators over a bifurcated deal
15:56
that would fun Department of Homeland Security and separate out a separate
16:00
bill
16:01
on not funding the executive
16:04
orders on immigration what do you say
16:07
why do you think that's the wrong strategy look unfortunately republican
16:12
leadership
16:13
is cutting a deal with Harry Reid the democrats
16:16
to give an onyx active amnesty and the question why
16:22
is because they're not listening to you I talked about the divide
16:25
between Washington and the people in washington K street
16:28
and Wall Street love amnesty they support the substantive policy and their
16:37
is a min dashed city about Washington they want to take a showboat
16:42
but they don't actually want to follow through on what they say how do we
16:46
change it
16:47
the only way to change shot what I'm trying to do you think about it the tech
16:52
context
16:53
the tech context we know about disruptive aP's they come in and change
16:57
how good our services distributed
16:59
and inevitably the incumbent providers fight back
17:03
viciously so when over left comes into a city the taxing commissions do
17:08
everything they can to kill it
17:09
what I'm trying to do more than anything else is bring a disruptive ap
17:14
to politics
17:18
me tomb to move power
17:21
back to the american people and everyone has a vested interest
17:25
in keeping decision making in the smoke-filled rooms in both parties
17:30
they fight bigger asleep because they don't want the power
17:33
to be back with the american people senator
17:37
we witnessed Bihar are
17:41
what's happening with ice we have seen mass beheadings we have seen women sold
17:45
into slavery the harvesting
17:47
organs radical Islamist they are on the move
17:50
they've taken a lot on the ground that our brave troops sacrifice tied for in
17:54
Iraq
17:55
four thousand of them my question to you is the jordanians after one pilot
17:59
they've responded with fierce opposition enforce
18:03
against my sis the egyptians under general president LCC
18:08
they have shown massive for some retaliation for 21 Coptic Christian
18:12
simultaneously beheaded
18:13
what is your analysis what is your take on what America needs to do
18:17
and why can't this president admit that the Islamic State
18:22
is in fact islamic and radical islamic ZS
18:25
we need a commander in chief who will actually stand up and defend the United
18:31
States of America
18:37
we need to stop this bizarre Orwellian doublespeak
18:41
we cannot defeat radical
18:44
islamic terrorism with a president who is unwilling to utter the words
18:50
radical islamic terrorist you know the state's Department spokesperson just
18:59
said recently we can't win this by killing ice
19:03
we need to give them jobs what utter and complete
19:09
nonsense lesson that is precisely how we win this
19:15
we kill the terrorist leader's before they kill us
19:24

19:29
I am asking this next question because I know the loop liberal media
