what is missing in washington is the political will. democrats don't want to do it and far too many republicans don't want to do it. donald trump has made illegal immigration the core of his campaign. there is more than a little chutzpah in that, given that donald trump, his record on illegal immigration is terrible. donald trump had a $1 million court judgment against him for being part of a conspiracy to hire illegal aliens to build his hotel. mira lago resort in florida, which trombones, it was reported yesterday, brings in hundreds of foreign workers and by and large won't hire americans. there was a striking interview on cnn last night. donald was saying, the reason i bring in foreign workers -- no americans want to be waiters are waitresses or bellhops. what complete nonsense. >> i saw that and i was stunned that he said that. senator cruz: "the new york times" reported that of the 300 americans who applied for those jobs, donald hired 17. go to a tgi friday's. you're telling me no americans want to be waiters? you don't think peo

it's not just making washington look dysfunctional. and actual -- it actually hurts the ability for the federal government to be more effective and efficient with tax dollars. look at the department of defense. if you have a continuing resolution instead of an actual d.o.d. appropriations bill signed into law, then they can actually do planning. you know, companies plan years in advance. a government agency should actually be laying out plans as well about how to best use taxpayer dollars. but if they don't know what their budget's going to look like until literally the day before it's about to take effect, it's real hard for them to do planning and a lot of times what they do is suspend contracts and then they have to start that contract back up again, even though they know that ultimately something's going to get worked out. they can't do long-term planning. and it costs even more money. to do the same thing, so it does lead to a less efficient government, to not have a functioning appropriations process. it's why we want passionatel

i talked to the washington post, done various interviews. but i can say all day that muslims unequivocally condemn terrorism, and somebody that is not muslim, i have very little legitimacy, apart from the data. it's important, but not as compelling as the genuine emotional fear and anger that i've seen from talking to mainstream muslim leaders. who i think are understandably concerned that there is a media motif of an angry muslim. you go on fox news and become angry, you only serve to further the stereotype among angry muslims. but there is anger that is anger about attacks on your religion. then there is anger, that is equally genuine, that is towards group like isis or dyess. -- or daesh. there has been a lot of understandable hesitation about whether that's a good idea. i think given what i've shown you today, the opportunity, the time has come for that type of corrective discourse. the majority of americans now have this conspiracy theory in their heads. you can simply throw facts at the problem. some recent research coming out of polit

[applause] we are going to be able to vote, to run for political office. huge, terrible, enormous struggles. but women as a result of those made enormous progress. the environmental movement didn't happen in washington. by some senator introducing legislation. it happened because people said what is going on on this planet of ours? you can't destroy it. we have to protect the planet. and you think about something like gay rights. if we were sitting here 10 years ago, and somebody said i think in 2015, gay marriage will be legal in 50 states, the person next to him would have said what are you smoking? which raises another issue. [laughter] but the point is, when people at the grassroots start movi

the environmental movement didn't happen in washington. it happened because people said what is going on on this planet of ours? you can't destroy it. we have to protect the planet. you think about gay rights. if we were sitting here 10 years ago, and somebody said i think in 2015, gay marriage will be , the personstates next to him would have said what are you smoking? which raises another issue. [laughter] but the point is, when people at the grassroots start moving, and when they say this is not right, in this country people should have the right to love anyone they want regardless of their gender -- [applause] tremendous changes took place. ,ou go and talk to young people they shrug their shoulders and say what is the big deal? that is what a revolution is about. [applause] if we were here 40 years ago, somebody jumped up and said i enough,erica is mature it has gone far enough, overcoming racism, in 2008 we are going to elect an african-american as president, there a few people would have believed that can happen. but it did happen. [

he went to washington being a supporter of term limits in washington. he became a firm supporter of term limits not only for members of congress but also for justices on the supreme court. it is good to have a healthy turnover and new talent coming forward. part of the solution here lies in us, the voters. there is a tendency for us not to look past pandering. we have candidates at say i'm against the lyrical correctness -- political correctness and think the alternative they want to show people's insult and obscenity's rather than saying politically correction allows even republican -- or compels even republican candidates to say that they want young women to be drafted into the military. we saw that during the debate on saturday. that was nothing more than political correction rather than thoughtful analysis of a change that would be bad for america. we have to be a lot more sophisticated. we can't have a bernie sanders that says things are bad so therefore i will to take from others and give to you. we have to ask ourselves, what caused this. what in

and it did not come from washington. washington despised ronald reagan. it came from the american people. it and by the way, it began 36 years ago in the great state of new hampshire. and it has turned this country around. why am i so optimistic? why am i so hopeful? because the same thing is happening again. a look on -- all across this country, people are looking up. i am convinced the most long-lasting legacy is going to be a new generation of leaders that stand and fight for liberty , for the constitution and for judeo-christian values that built america. and with that i am happy to answer or dodge any question you like. yes, sir. >> [inaudible] ted cruz: thank you for that question. the reason a president can't write that order is that it is contrary to federal law. we have seen barack obama ignoring federal law and ruling like a dictator. i will be bound by the constitution and federal law. let me tell you what i think we ought to do about it as i share your concerns. we have seen jobs going overseas to china mexico, all across this country. we need

that is the kind of leadership we now need in washington, d.c. i don't know about you, but i am tired of politicians that blame their predecessors. i have a personal feeling about this, just having watched it for a while. my pledge to you -- when i am president of the united states, i will not blame barack obama for a civil thing. the day i am's into office, it is on my watch. whatever it is. [applause] is, a story iny the world where strength is measured by the volume of your voice these days or how profane you can be or how you insult somebody, this is the story of real strength. it is the story of a leader that listens first and learned along the way. what i learned in my life experience is the greatest insights i get are when i am not talking. when i am listening. decided, as a governor, that i would create a system where i could listen to people. there is a lot of discussion about e-mail these days. e-mails.com, jeff third r three and 30,000 e-mails or you can go get them if you want. it is all of the interactions between constituents and me

we have people in washington that don't care right now. their argument is i don't want to deal with the issue hank just raised because i might lose my next election so we will figure it out but just not now. it has been happening for way too long. one of the reasons it's happening is because the federal government has nothing to stop it from spending money. they can keep printing money and borrowing money, but not forever. the have been doing that for a long time under both parties. under this president, he has grown the debt more than every other president before him combined. the other thing that is driving it is that in less than five years, 83% of our budget 83% of the federal budget will be made up of four things. medicare, medicaid, social security, and the interest on the debt. that means with the other 17% we're going to have to fund our roads, and our safety net programs, and the u.s. military, and everything else the government does. that's not sustainable. that's a debt crisis. let me tell you what's going to happen. the people

george washington did this. he brought in slaves to new york fromand washington, d.c., mount vernon and they served as the first in a sick staff to the unit dates president. -- they serve this the first domestic staff for the united states president. announcer: governor john kasich boat to volunteers for 10 minutes. [chanting] applause] >> run, john, run. governor kasich: listen, it gets down to the grass roots now. forarted as a kid running the legislature and i spent a lot of time in people's homes. we called them coffees. now we call them town halls here in new hampshire. we just finished our 100 last night. in doubt our 101st it will be with arnold schwarzenegger and he said, we will go all the way here. he is in terminator mode, just so you all know. listen, this is critical because every single vote matters. door a perfect day for knocking. i have worn out more shoes knocking on doors than anyone you can imagine but it is what makes a difference, because when people get that smile, that voter contacts, and

the headline that we showed our viewers earlier in the washington post, in the undecideds easily can become the dieders. a -- the deciders. >> the power is there. >> let's go to john in rio rancho, new mexico, line for republicans. john, good morning. >> yes. thought.d one basic and that is, first, thank you for c-span. i love c-span. i watch every morning, as long as it's been on the air. countryonnected to the through c-span. but living out west here, our votes don't count. over withs will be before new mexico gets to voice their opinion. allwe're not anything like those farmers in iowa. and we're not anything like all theredical liberals over in new hampshire. and you could set me on fire and forwouldn't get me to vote any of the democratic candidates, because i feel like the party left me. republican this time. democrat all my life. my mother, grandparents on that side of the family as well. are a white person -- and i'm going to play the race card -- it is impossible to find a job today. this is something that's just not being addressed. allwe've gone so far with of the groups,

washington journal is next. ♪ good morning, it is saturday, debbie were a 6, 2016. we have three days to go until the new hampshire primary. we are once again taking our viewers up to new hampshire -- manchester, new hampshire to talk about gop debate tonight. before we do that, with new hampshire representing the first chance for underplayed -- under cleared -- undeclared voters. whether you are satisfied with the current field of presidential candidate. could you see yourself supporting any of the major party

it is long past time for washington to take the same approach. [applause] the people of new hampshire work together to solve problems every day in their own lives, and they expect their elected representatives to do the same. that is why it is so frustrating to see what is happening in washington, and why it is time for us all to stand together right now and say, enough. enough to washington special interests that prey on our senior's hard-earned social security and medicare benefits, while claiming special tax breaks for themselves. enough to politicians restricting a woman's right to make her own health care decision. [applause] and enough to our junior senator who puts corporate special interests ahead of new hampshire. [applause] despite her effort to rewrite history with expensive tv ads and sham legislation, we know kelly ayotte's real washington record. in washington, she has voted with the koch brothers nearly 90% of the time. she has repeatedly voted for deep cuts in pell grants that would make college more expensive for new hampshire st

people look to washington and washington is living in a very different world. on top of all of that is the issue of fairness, the issue of a rigged economy, which essentially means people are working ordinary hours -- working hours for low wages. and there is the issue of wealth and power, which dictates what goes on in america. we have town meetings. the general feeling is there should be more equality. when they look at wall street what they see is a rigged economy. they see a corrupt campaign finance system. all wrapped up in wall street. what i can tell you from personal experience -- the banking committee, which became the financial committee. i was on the committee that dealt with the regulation of wall street. here is the reality that will not shock any american. wall street put billions of dollars in lobbying and campaign contributions into saying you have to get rid of these 1930's regulations. you have to allow commercial banks to merge with investor banks, to merge with large insurance companies. i didn't believe it for one second, not for one second

in washington, she has voted 90% of the hers time. she has repeatedly voted for deep cuts in pell grants which would make college more extensive for new hampshire students and voting against young people's ability to refinance their students loans. she voted to turn medicare into a voucher program while protecting social security from benefit cuts. while it comes to our environment, she has repeatedly sign account koch brothers while our beautiful natural resources and places pay the price. she has fought to protect tax breaks for big oil and just recently she was once again the only new england senator to oppose critical clean water protections. she voted against the ipartisan bill to expand background checks for gun purchases. and she even opposes closing the loophole that allows known and suspected terrorists to buy guns and explosives. he has voted repeatedly to defund planned parenthood and sports allowing employers to deny women coverage for birth control and preventive care. and she has said and these are her words that she cer
