they've been kind enough to let me make just a few remarks tonight and i would
like to point out something uh... about this recent to buckle but we just had
and i think the fundamental issue for me for the takeaway is the problem that we
can as conservatives and republicans for the longest time that i mean for ten
fifteen twenty years now
certainly since ronald reagan
is that as conservatives we do not
believe park on philosophy
certainly true true for most republican politicians with the notables exception
of amiss bachmann who's sitting here tonight
and we'll hear from later on
but the fact is
g_o_p_ leadership and all of the national level candidates again with one
or two exceptions are victim of stockholm syndrome
the pop culture has beaten them up so severely that they are utterly unwilling
to stand for what they claim to believe in public leader and inouye ashamed of
it
now i think
i think that mit romney was one of the best men i've ever seen
and i think
i think you could make a compelling case that as an individual man mit romney may
have had the
finest moral character of any candidacy for the president
going back to george washington are remarkably decent and good man
remarkably astonishingly
and every week i got to know him better i'd like to better and better and better
and better and better
the console level
one of the problems we have a zit on some level mit romney didn't even
believe his own he didn't even believe his own life story again i do not wish
to criticize my admire him enormously
but i can give you an example of house although this is an opera vase that is
when i see that
mit romney didn't leave his poem message did we designed story forget about the
republican party story
for example
you would hear the press talk to mister romney and they would ask the question
along the lines of
by mister romney worth two hundred million dollars how can you possibly
connect with the american people
now a candidate who actually believes his own party's philosophies would add
to that question perhaps like this
well first of all
miss crowley
i'm not worth two hundred million dollars a more two hundred and fifty
million dollars
please do not remove the fifty million dollars for my bank account that i've
worked very very hard to obtain
and my point out to you first of all
that every single one every
symbol one
of the two hundred and fifty million dollars in my bank account
was given to me freely
through no coercion i'm not the government i didn't have the power to
take it at gunpoint through taxation
he was given to me
freely in trade for value that i provided to other people
and people never trade down
no one trades down
so that means
that other people in this country felt that i gave them more than two hundred
and fifty million dollars value in exchange for the children fifty million
dollars i have my a bank account right now
i'd like to point out also
but as you can see from my tax returns
which i released prior to running for president
but i've paid sixty million dollars in taxes over the course of my lifetime and
i expect to pay quite a bit more than that before i die
so who's really helping the poor people here
whose actually helping
poor disadvantaged americans
high-paid
sixty
million
dollars in taxes which have gone to entitlements welfare social security
benefits all of these things
community organizers precisely nothing
they hand out forms
but the forms that people fill out to get benefits are paid for by people like
me
and then we get to the root of it
miss probably because the real reason i'd like to answer this question
directly is the reason that i have two hundred and fifty million dollars in my
bank account
is because i am my associates have generated we're able to approximate
approximately five billion dollars of wealth
for the society five thousand million dollars is about the number that we
generated
which means that
the two hundred and fifty million dollars that i kept is but a tiny sliver
of the total amount of wealth we've generated for everybody people all
across this country thousands if not tens or maybe even hundreds of thousands
of people
have gotten paychecks
as a result of the work that we do
we haven't had just given handouts i pay taxes so people can have handouts but we
have paid salaries
and that is people's car payments answer children's college tuitions its mortgage
payments
all of this is generated by the work that we do which affect the tiny sliver
which is two hundred and fifty million dollars and the final thing i might
point out to you is this
i'm running for president of the united states of america
this is the richest country in the history of the world
we have a nation for the first time in history where the primary health concern
among poor people is obesity
thailand have
two hundred and fifty million dollars in my bank account
but i'm telling you notify spend extra persons flat-out brokaw's in got a penny
hiding out with two hundred and fifty million times better than that person
does
not here in america
they have air conditioning i have your commission have more rooms to
air-conditioned but we both have air conditioning
they have a car i have a few cars they don't have two hundred and fifty million
cars
and the president never not two hundred and fifty million times better than
theirs
if i get hit by a bus and taken to the same hospitals the forced americans
weren't given the same treatment by the same doctors as the poorest americans
i get the same antibiotics in the same medical treatment as the poorest
americans and so the two hundred and fifty million dollars is being true used
to dealing honestly is a person is not an actual being but rather a vampire
does not mean i live on a different one at the new on the contrary
what it means is planned to hire philosophy is based on the idea that
everybody should have two hundred fifty million dollars
and that's why i'm not ashamed to talk about my bank account
and you can hear it again and he began again and again mr armey you have forty
million dollars in your assets overseas in overseas accounts would like to
explain that to the american people
i'd be delighted to explain it to the american people
i'm a money manager my job is to put my money in the smartest placed on her
so i have forty million dollars in overseas accounts including switzerland
in the cayman islands
and rather than talking about whether or not i have money overseas why don't we
talk about
i have my money overseas when we talk about the fact that
united states of america as the fortieth
highest corporate tax rate we we used to be the lowest tax rate in the in the
world that were number fourteen
why is it that we're not talking about the policies in the procedures that this
president in this administration of put in place
that make the smart claim putting my money overseas
why don't we talk about changing the rules so that money managers and wealthy
people from all over planet earth are putting their money in america like they
used to what we have that conversation
we don't have that conversation
because we don't believe our own story
now because i get up and talk in front of groups like this every now and then
somebody says it will bill you can run for office i said no thank you have no
interest in it none whatsoever
and uh... and when people said we've yet you make me making actually president
etcetera
there's no way that i could be present at the united states
but no military experience i've never run a business for god's sakes i mean
who could possibly clear that bar
everything about president obama is he's actually looked at the presidential bar
on the floor anyone can walk over that part now
if iraq obama can be present in the united states literally anybody in the
planet to be president united states
but just to tell you
i tell people is not temperamentally not suited to be president
item about the property
because when i talk about
the message and the messenger not matching when i talk about our
politicians in the republican party not believing their own message
i'd like to just give an example
of what that might sound like
if you actually did in fact
the way you so you believe
uh... president little
uh... please please tell us about the events that occurred uh... around the
consulate in been qasim over the last week
what were you doing when you heard the news and what did you do after that
my response would be as president will first of all the only thing that time
more terrified up and answering that question dishonorably is or dishonestly
is to tell you the actual truth of what i was doing and if the first lady found
that it that answer the question honestly i would actually be more afraid
about upcoming in the real one but suffice it to say
that the president of the united states once something is known to the national
command structure the president knows about it within four five minutes the
president is never off duty the president's never in the shower
the president's never always for the afternoon
so five or six minutes after that attack began undergoes eels fully apprised of
the situation
maya media command was to authorize the an extremist response force that we can
station in italy enough stationed throughout the world
he told me those helicopters take two hours to get there are lots of
immediately they were in here within fifteen minutes
by first actual command was to talk the chief of naval operations asking how far
away our nearest carrier battle groups work
he said there about twenty two minutes what time at the top speed of the deputy
i thought i want at eighteen hornets over that consulate now i want them
three hundred feet above the ground i want them supersonic
i want signing who's over that city between now and when those helicopters
arrived i what our people to know that were coming
i don't want those people to know that were coming
and if we break everyone know when they got c vacant bass
you called the result of the pop-up yes it's absolutely true when our
helicopters arrived on the scene we were too late to save that ambassador
we were too late to save those brave seals that died anarchy g shot down one
of our helicopters and fourteen seals were killed in the rescue attempt it was
called a catastrophe to pop up
it's a catastrophe and have the bottle not to go i'd do it again tomorrow our
people around the world need to understand the when americans are risk
america is going to come to their aid whether we get there in time or not
that's not a president who actually believes his stuff sounds like
mr president
iran tissot eddie unmanned drone over that international waters in the in the
persian gulf care to comment on that
i would care to comment on that
the republic of iran has been at work with the united states of america since
nineteen seventy nine
we have been a world without
but they've been at war with us so
starting seeking at midnight
i am now initiating a new policy please listen carefully
of the four thousand people we lost in iraq many of those men and women most of
those brave men and women were killed by
improvised explosive devices that were either
planned by designed by supplied by detonated by constructed by
as of midnight tonight the next time that an american serviceman is killed
the republican which we can trace conclusively terrain involvement
what the next time in american servicemen still the republic of iran
will lose and installation
maybe an army barracks it might be a patrol boat it might be a
an antiaircraft installation but they will lose installation
and for every american that skill builders and other installation
predict the republic of around much as a terrorist attack upon american citizens
they will lose all of their installations
bible white their military up the pace of the earth within forty eight hours
and leave them
make it to their enemies for five hundred years
because we can
because we can
my job as president
is to defend our servicemen
i wasn't handed fourteen carrier battle groups by the american people
so that i could hold them in reserve again someday
that day is here now
we welcome the people of iraq back into the workload ancient civilization
marvelous magnificent culture people who deserve a lot better than what we've got
and when i say they're going to lose an installation
i'm including the general headquarters of the army
so you generals in iran might wanna keep this consideration foremost in your mind
this is what it sounds like
when you actually believe in the civilization that you claim to represent
us what it sounds like
when you believe that civilization is worth preserving
and until we can find a messenger who's ready to combine that with the message
we are going to be worried about things like pastor to seventy and getting out
the boat software for the rest of time but when we find that combination
the entire year prior to the elections would be time to have a margarita
because the results will be a foregone conclusion
the only question will be
what would be a forty-five steve wynn like reagan had in nineteen eighty or
will be a forty ninth state with mikey had in nineteen eighty four dozen the
questions are going to concern us
because our message
unlike many of our masters are messages unbeatable our messages unbeatable think
about this
the democrats in the liberals with the entire biasa all of the news media with
all of the movie stars that came out with all of the press the big document
didn't got with the media throwing their cloak of invisibility a thirty-point
holy bandage on big does in all this other stuff with every single thing that
they're doing right and they're doing everything right
they're doing everything right
and then you look at all the things we do wrong
it's still a fifty fifty country it's still is
how little do we have to do effectively
how little do we actually have to do right
so that we never lose another election again aber
aber it's astonishing to me that we can be so bad it so much
and they can be so good at everything
it's a fifty fifty proposition is anybody really honestly think but that
means these two messages are the same they're not and what should you do now
but i will tell you the difference between our two messages
the conservative idea of america is aware nation of steely eyed missile man
with a rise out of far horizon
the future is unlimited there's nothing we can do
or not to
the power to be present building anywhere in the world at our leisure
we have footprints on a flag on the move
we believe in the a power of the human mind and u_n_ human creativity human
invented this hard work and magic nation
we believe that everyone should look like they have two hundred and fifty
million dollars we believe it's time for you to step off get out of our please
don't tell us what to do
you have a right to live the way you want to an american that's our message
of what's their message what is their vision for humanities future on this
progressive left we find ourselves against
division of a of a future for america
is a bunch of people sitting around in that shuts
sitting around a burning pal pipe point parasites up each other eating their
sustainable algae kate
you know organic bake sales to raise money for the guatemalan water snake
are you actually telling me that these two visions are equipment of course
they're not
of course they're not
communicable prediction here
a bold prediction high predict the next president united states i'm convinced
he's going to be a conservative convinced he's going to be republican
but i'm gonna go get sixty case your interview
but i think that's present in the united states is gonna come from the pop
culture
from the general culture
because you cannot run against your own mythology and when ever
when they own the mythology we will never win so our next president is going
to be a man who can answer question like this
mister president please tell us about your opinion
on the second amendment
and a president who comes from the pop culture will be able to turn to the
people in this country and say wow
the second amendment
is the document that allows me to carry this handgun right here
i have this handgun
so that i can kill bad guys
and if you don't think that's important next time you go to the next james bond
movie you imagine him going on that mission armed with a sternly worded
letter from the united nations that's why we have a second amendment
enjoy your dinner will see a little bit later on tonight
