Dick Armey's Take

" While I was doing lithium every -- back in the 1990s my next guest was busy being one of the leading up. -- Revolution. In the house majority leader from -- to it bought into doesn't agree. It is now the chair of freedom works and organizations which trained and mobilized Americans. The lower taxes less government. And more freedom we're pleased as punch that look. -- this former house majority leader Dick Armey are calling it leader throughout the entire interview it first I want I want asking leader."

" About the little Fort Hood shootings per person it was a tragedy that maybe you'll terrible just pissed off. It just got it angers me that how this could happen."

" And I -- you were you you were involved. In making sure that these different departments communicating with each other so it's gotta be really."

" Upsetting to you as well."

" Well is upset in it seems to me that there were plenty of reason to capitalize on this Fella. Before of this blew up in everybody's vision of horrible tragedy. Fell on people. I don't understand that I that I heard a lot of speculation in the press about it and so forth but. -- we are again we now know without any doubt. That's somebody should the mail this guy before the -- he told lose like that. But. Again maybe it'll refresh them all of the sense of urgency. To be more vigilant about people like. Show. I'll look warning signs sometime in the future but it sure breaks your heart doesn't have to realize that. This is person that should have been intercepted yeah. All those lives in all my arm and all I've heard all I've been good about that avoided."

" Yes you it's one thing that struck me I have talked about it this week is general Casey's comments last week. That is terrific at this tragedy was part diversity because casualty that's worse. But isn't that what diversity but it the year. Appear intolerant. You allowed."

" That comment but yet -- bless his heart. I'm sure glad he was -- out of Texas graduate who said that because in Texas they got a wonderful word that describes exactly that kind of thing him. And it starts Wimbledon -- annoying I know you know club and now we're just. Such dam mobile foolishness to say -- like that what what a crock of Malarkey yes plug occasionally act that matters people lost their lives yet. And if they lost their lives because somebody was afraid that they might appear to have been not properly diversified. Through -- of their college education. That I think this is an even greater tragedy."

" Yeah I -- you look at the media and the narrative is. It's it's it's as always with these tragedies is looking at the killer of emotional. Problems as opposed to an incredibly obvious murderous agenda. Which is -- equally as frustrating to me."

" Think I don't know. Randall white line hell should we care about is guys emotional problems of fact of the matter you know. And a great many parts of Texas my ranch beginning in a place of departure. We don't call 911 we deal with these polls -- got to be dealt with them and I don't have time to understand them -- trying to protect my children. Our mile wide and Iowa and I don't intend to take back you know understand that."

" Exactly -- I want to talk about an article you just wrote. That you conservative revolution the first sentence was when we act like that we lose when we act like us we win could you elaborate on what you --"

" Well look I mean they're Republican Party has had three shining moments. In my adult lifetimes when they stood for principle. And the principles of small government. Conservatism and responsible. Vigilance over the liberties of our constituents that was -- Barry Goldwater Ronald Reagan. "

" And and and the contract years yeah and you just take a look at the Republican majority was more an out of -- convictions a mile policy. For America that are reflective of -- Reagan Goldwater tradition and it drives and tell it fell into. Acting like the Democrats even in their final fatal last. Campaign. They've borrowed tip O'Neill's. Campaign slogan all politics is. Local they were acting like Democrats and they were losing and you're gonna. If you want a big government liberal -- by achieved an imitation you with the Republicans. We could have a real reporter with the Democrats I don't buy dot. I just don't get their line of thinking why did they wanna give up being like us when we in fact they're both emotionally. And intellectually. And morally superior. To a shallow felt certain vision of -- look."

" Actually yeah yeah yeah. Yeah out of him. Did you know that yeah. I adopted -- yeah I -- I'll I got actually my. I think the challenge though is you know if you look at the Democrats it's not so much about the messenger it's the messenger they have a weight messenger and President Obama. When you look at on the Republican side you've always had a message what you said small government strong defense but we haven't had a messenger. -- I'm not everything we have. There since Greg."

" Right. Well well first of all substance will be litmus every time and knock on the campaign trail if in fact the Republicans -- yeah and understand. Who what if what is the proper role by which we might win elections and serve this country in office it is too. Baghdad back have been loyal to. Their vision of liberty and freedom of private enterprise that bill -- nation brought. Sound and a sense of restraint against the odd -- that he's a big government. This is no thinkin' thing we've got a history to approve this this model of the wreck model. They're now flirt with -- what I call this itty bitty schizophrenic. Big tent theory of errors that. If half of our candidates act like us and the other half of our candidate act like them we can win -- gonna impress but I can Milan. One last question brilliantly it'll it'll be putting your money on the Republican Party. Well I think there are a lot of good people and have the potential come forward their but again I think they have that all of our candidates have to really. Get busy and they find themselves and and give some deep understanding. You're very vivid constituents. Across this country. That we liked you available -- start where. This small government activist movement that is not. Biggest event in this country today in politics as you see it with a team party activists -- emerged. Real people on the streets just demanding. Their liberty and freedom from the audacity of big government."

" I -- basing what you're saying is. Vote for Greg Gutfeld. Lead and we got we got to move on I think he's so much for being on the show. Archives Dick Armey good seeing it. So have a common I was out of email us at red iPods -- icons actually -- like direct line to want to force -- what silicon."
