" For those -- watching at home I'm not nervous is just really hot and are these people. -- We got out of argued it is recession with tax cuts. You know the president Obama. In six weeks of this administration. Has proposed more spending and -- from the founding of the country to his inauguration. This this is not. Prosperity. It is not going to engender prosperity it's not going to create prosperity and it is also not going to advance to promote freedom it's going to be just the opposite. They're going to be more control over what you can and can't do how you can and can't do what what you can and can't drive. What you can and can't say where you can and can't say it. All of these things. Are coming down the pike because it's not about revenue generation to them it's about control. They do believe. That they have compassion they do believe they care. Let's -- we never are allowed to look at the results of their plans. We are told we must only look at your good intentions their big hearts the fact that they have destroyed. Poor families by breaking up those families by all -- welfare checks the women to keep Kevin babies. No more fatherly -- out there was something the government the father destroy the family we're not supposed to analyze that when exposed to talk about that. We're supposed to. Future is not big government. Self serving politicians. Powerful bureaucrats -- has been. Tried and tested throughout history. The result has always been disaster. President Obama you're -- not new it's not change and it's not hope. Spending -- nation. In -- generational debt. Is not an act of compassion. All politicians. Including president Obama. Our temporary stewards. Of this nation. It is not their task to remake. The founding of this country it is not their task. To tear it apart and rebuild it in their image. It is not. Their task. It is not their right to remake this nation. To accommodate their psychology I sometimes wonder liberalism is not just the psychosis -- psychology not an ideology. It's it's it's so much about feelings in the predominant feeling liberalism. Is a balance between Google and about themselves than they do that by telling themselves they have all this compassion. You know -- never really if you really want to on him to liberal it's harder Lucas crystal wouldn't now anyway. Have to do was say you know -- the things you people do the things you people believe you are cruel. That's the last way they look at themselves they ought think they are the best people want it there that when people. You tell them that their ideas in the -- policies. -- And the -- start scrambling at this. It's -- I have learned between liberals it right into it instinctively. Wake of an immediate tweak them in the there's no reason to be afraid of these people why in the world would you be afraid of deranged. I'd be afraid of them. And there's no reason to assume they're the minority and there's no reason to let them settle all the privacy is in the agendas to which we respond to. I'm getting over the got a myself here but everybody asks me and I'm sure it's been a focal point of your convention. What do we do. As conservatives what we do know. How do you overcome this while the one thing. And there are many but one thing that we can all do. Is stop assuming. That the way to beat them is with a better policy ideas right now I talked. I don't want to name any names as the appointment I I talked to people about Obama budget for the Obama -- fuel spill the Obama home. -- helmet stood -- to whatever it's going to be and they start talking to me in the terms of process and policy. The crisis -- We're not this what are. Who -- in the process to set the policy they are you what we did. You want to not only did get business philosophy folks. This guy this guy I forgot to this guy in the in the in the focus group after Bobby general said. Our god I didn't want to hear targeted Republicans and Democrats Republicans and other ladies and gentlemen of the United States of America. That's exactly what your future is about who wins Republicans or Democrats conservatives versus liberals the notion of partisanship. False premise. Partisanship. Let me define bipartisanship for you for bipartisanship. Is everybody seems to go or can't vehicle with a concept of bipartisanship. -- I've checked with fox that words okay. They covered the the whiskey they and if that's my. Bipartisanship. Occurs. Only. After one other result. And that is victory in the words let's say. As conservatives. Liberals demand that we be bipartisan. With them in congress. What they mean is we check our core principles that the door -- let them run the show and agree with them that's bipartisanship that. To us bipartisanship. Is them being forced to agree with us after we have politically. Cleaned their clocks -- What any others in this room who hold the core beliefs we believe. Somebody tell me where is that compromises. On the all of this -- Where is the compromise. On all of this punishment of the achievers. Where is. Where is the compromise is. Between good and evil. Should Jesus have got a different deal. The series should. Have to do folks. This is -- Taking a policy -- or a process. That the Democrats have put forward in fighting over the crowd around the edges. We have -- if we're if we're going to convince the minds and hearts the American people. But what's about to happen to them is -- disasters and even in their lives in peace time. We're going to have to discuss philosophy. With that we are going to have to talk about principles. Because our principles are not present and what's happening here so where the hell -- we go to compromise we even when our principles and their principles are just the opposite. Of what is happening. The American people. I admit it's a tough challenge. It's worth it. It's -- it the way I justified bipartisanship you can turn it around. Liberals don't stop defined bipartisanship when we surrender and say okay we give. We're not -- we are not giving up. Now there -- certain reality as we don't have the votes. In Capitol Hill to stop what's going to happen. What we can do is slow down. Procedure parliamentary procedures. Slow it down and do the best we can to inform. The American people what's really on the right I don't know what's going to be tough. At some point I don't think it could have been even right now I -- this is still a honeymoon period and and there's that there's a lot of what devotion to the Obama administration has nothing to do with an electorate thinking. It's it's Felix. Where is it and it's it's going to take some time for this to play out. Well like I spoke to David team interviewing for my newsletter I asked him about this and he's an over reach. Would you say they have. Over reached at some point. At some point people to realize none of this is possible. You can't hang out of people living in homes they don't -- You can't have people driving cars they don't before I mean you can't for awhile. But after awhile people paying for -- Screw us we're not. It started see evidence that there's always -- parties that are starting to bubble up."
" Here's the big question. I ask this again in the context of my first addressed the nation."
" You don't know well. I won't say how excited and I have. A -- from a bastard position of the constitution. That the Obama plans -- That hard it is. It's not constitution aside from that. Where's the evidence. That the people all three -- office. It was succeeded in any similar plans before there. -- getting it done. Dumbed down public education. Emotions. And the on going this is wired. I think it's such a waste for a man as -- it is president Obama with the communications fuels fuels in what he could wipe out the Republican Party. He could wipe out the Republican Party if he would inspire this country to be the best it could be but we don't have to worry about that because that's not what he wants. He wants people in fear and angst and crisis fearing the worst each and every day because that clears the decks. For president Obama and his panels the commune with the answers. Which are abject failures historically shown and demonstrated doesn't matter they'll have control but what it's all over. And that's what they want because they think they can do it better they see these inequalities these inequities of capitalism overdoses. How they try to fix it to they try to elevate those at the bottom. I try to turn on the people of the top. It's not fair you're there -- market."
