Secure. We have to do that. The American People, we dont trust the government in washington, d. C. To actually do what they are saying. We see what is happening on the border right now and seat rules and laws already in place are not being obeyed, and so when donald trump talks the way he is talking and says these things, people appreciate that because they understand he is saying, yes, there is a real problem that were facing in this country with illegal immigration, and we have to solve this problem. A little more from the mammoth poll, donald trump leading in all demographics, and the poll here is very conservative, and tea party supporters, 36 , does that sound right to you . I would say so yes. By gender, 37 among men and 23 among women. There was a piece the other day that said the tea party is still trying to determine whether donald trump is its cup of tea and a play on words there. What is your broad thinking about donald trump at this point and your level of support for him . What i see from our supporters around the country is they are looking at donald trump, and they have looked at they hear what he is saying and they like what he is saying a lot, and they also look at senator ted cruz and they see what he is saying and he stood up and fought in washington and we appreciate that track record. I have also heard a lot from our supporters about ben carson and Carly Fiorina. With each of the candidates, they have something good to say and they all have something that say i looked into this and i am checking these different aspects out. I would say the tea par see supporters are looking for the entire field and looking at the track record and working to determine who would be the next the best next president. Lets go to john. John is calling from l. A. The democratic line. Hello, john. Caller good morning. Morning. Caller thank goodness for cspan. I would like to ask ms. Martin why the tea party suddenly came into existence when barack obama was elected president . Also, does she think trump is right about his birth . I would say first about president obamas birth, he has said and shown birth certificates that he was born in hawaii, so i believe what the president says in this instance. As far as why did the Tea Party Come into existence in 2009, what happened is we saw that there were the Bank Bailouts in 2008, and we saw t. A. R. P. Happening in 2008, and the stimulus bill then passing in 2009, and we are very concerned as we are watching government spend more and more and more money and our neighbors were losing their homes and across the country we saw people go into bankruptcy and lose homes, and all of the big businesses being bailed out and the stimulus and the t. A. R. P. Program, we felt it was time to stop, that our country at the time was several trillion in debt, and we wanted the out of control Government Spending to stop. You bring up fiscal matters. The leading democrat on the house side, he thinks the tea party could be forcing a Government Shutdown in the future. He says that he is saying this years course of events leads up to 2014. He says once again you hear people like boehner and mcconnell say we are not going to let this happen and we heard that before and at the end of the day the Tea Party Folks have a lot of power, and does the tea party want a Government Shutdown . I think we never want to see just a Government Shutdown, but what we want to see is that congress is fighting for what we believe in and they are working to get our spending under control, and so that is thats been very important to us. We also wanted to see back in 2013 the entire government continue to function and be funded, but we wanted to see that the Obamacare Program not be funded and what we wanted was for the entire government to be funded without obamacare being funded. As we lead up to what will happen as we hit the october 1st fiscal deadline, we will see there will be a lot of really bad deals made and probably a really big massive spending bill and thats what happens every single Time Congress works best under a deadline and they make very, very bad deals. You will see the tea Party Standing up and calling out what is happening and holding our elected officials accountable. And do you think the growth of our government is out of our control now . Even the rinos are growing it . Solutions from the tea party . You can see from Tea Party Patriots perspective, we held both parties accountable for spending. I would say, yes, its out of control at the moment. Is it going to always be . I think thats up to us as american citizens. Are we going to allow our government to do this . We are part of the government process and part of the governing process and we have to hold our elected officials accountable and elect people that will work to get us to a debtfree future, and we have to get involved in elections, but then after the elections we have to stay involved and make sure they keep their promises. Debby calling in columbus. Good morning, debby. Caller good morning. My question is, does not the country realize if we dont get our border secure that were not safe . Im not talking about just about one race of people, and i am talking about many races coming across the border. America, first of all, should be safe, so yes, i think we should do something about the borders. And the second thing i have is we dont hear a lot about bobby jindal. I have listened to him and he is really a smart guy and he doesnt get to move up or talk a lot, and maybe he doesnt have a lot of money, i dont know, but i understand why people like donald trump. He says what none of us have guts enough to say. And we really all feel that way, or most of us, i think, feel that what donald trump is saying is for americas best, and yes, he says it in a very raw and crass way of saying things and he needs to tone down his rhetoric a little bit, and other than that i dont think hes a bad guy but just an american like everybody else saying we have to get our country back, and i think bobby jindal is a very good guy and you dont hear very much about him at all. Well see what happens when it comes to bobby jindal and how he does in the upcoming debates and if he can wind up having some sort of a surge after the debates in a couple weeks, and as far as donald trump goes and the rhetoric that he is saying, i think you are absolutely right, a lot of what he is saying is what people across the country want to hear, and when he says things people dont want to hear, they have respect that he is willing to stand up and saying, he is not worrying about being politically correct, he is worrying about our country, and i think the citizens around the country appreciate that, and its not something glossed over, and thats something we hear way too often from politicians. So i think that thats one reason why donald trump is doing well right now. 20 minutes left or so with our guest, and we have been talking a little bit about iran this morning and cruz, trump to hold antiiran deal rally in d. C. , and tea party among the sponsors. Will you still hold the rally . Yes, next wednesday on september 9th on the west lawn of the capital. What is the purpose . The purpose first is to make sure our elected officials understand that we do not want this iran deal to pass. Its not a good deal. It is very, very concerning to us as Tea Party Patriots for a few reasons. The very first reason and the reason we got involved is it should be treated as a treaty and its not being treated as a treaty, so thats why we got involved because we stand for constitutionally limited government. But that ship has sailed. We looked into the details of it and we heard about the side deals that have come out and the secret deals that have come out, and iran is going to be able to inspect one of their military sites themselves and americans are never going to be allowed to do the inspections, and iran will get to have a 24day period to get everything in order before any inspection happens, and they dont happen 24 7 at anytime and we have to give iran a 24day notice before inspections occur and then the money that will be released from the sanctions is going to get to Fund Terrorism, and even the secretary of state kerry has not said that that would not happen, he cannot guarantee that it wont go to Fund Terrorism. This is a bad deal. Its a bad deal for america and we need to make sure our elected officials understand we dont want it to happen and the votes have not been casts yet. Somebody said this is the best path to avoid a war with iran . I think that what we have to focus on is the fact that the people in iran still want to see americans dead and they are going to wind up having a Nuclear Weapon at the end of this deal, and were not going to be able to insure that they dont even have one during the time of this deal, and with the money that is going to be released, it will Fund Terrorism and the terrorists want to also see us dead. This is very concerning to me. I dont want my children in a world when they graduate from college facing a world where iran is armed with Nuclear Weapons. Caller the thing that concerned me yesterday was the other republican candidates are going to sign this pledge. Donald trump is a demagogue. We have had demagogues in the 1930s that blamed our problems on jews and demagogues when i was a teenager, and now we have donald trump, all of our problems are caused by illegal aliens. When is the guest or some member of the Republican Party or some member of the press going to stand up and say exactly what donald trump is . He is appealing to the instincts of certain parts of the American People and somebody has to have the courage to stand up and say enough and call him out for who he is. Are you still there . Yes. Who do you think that person is going to be . Caller i fear there is no one, because we have no one in the press who has the prestige or courage to do what merrill did, and whether it be senator mccain or governor romney or whoever who will stand up and call this man out, and we have a lack of courage. Thank you. Calling out donald trump . People have attempted to call out donald trump, and i think that one thing that has made donald trump appeal to even more americans, for instance, is macys pulling their sponsorship from him. He says, okay, i will still say what i am going to say because this is what i am happening right now, and i am willing to put my money on the line and i am going to continue to say what i think is right. Thats what people are hearing when they hear donald trump right now. They are looking at him and saying, well, he is saying what he believes and he is not letting people bully him around, and they appreciated that. Next call, wes, sunset beach, north carolina. Caller good morning, ms. Martin. I have a couple of questions and a statement or two if you will give me a second. My first statement is keep up the good fight. I support the tea party 100 . My first question would be, do you foresee having any rallies in either the sunset beach excuse me, myrtle beach or the wilmington, north carolina, area anytime soon . My statement is i support donald trump. While he may be a little abrasive, he is not business as usual and thats very appealing to me. My last question, and thank you for taking my call is, i am also interested in dr. Ben carson, Carly Fiorina and ted cruz and i want to know what is the tea partys opinion of those three candidates. Thank you very much and have a nice holiday there. Thank you, wes, and thank you for your support. As far as an event in myrtle beach goes, first come up to washington, d. C. Next week on wednesday and join us on the west lawn of the capitol has we oppose the iran look clear deal. I dont know off the top of my head what will be happening in myrtle beach over the next few months but in january theres the statewide Tea Party Convention in myrtle beach again. As far as the other candidates, you said you liked donald trump and you are also interested in ben carson and Carly Fiorina and ted cruz. I am hear talking from Tea Party Patriots, and when we finish with our focus on the iran deal and the super pac will be gearing up again as we look to evaluate each of the candidates and we show the positives and negatives of each of the candidates compared to our core values and the issues and the solutions that we care about to our supporters to let them take a look at that and determine whether Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund will be making an endorsement. So take a look at our website on the Citizens Fund for more details on that in the next few weeks. We need to evaluate the candidates on all of the issues we care about. Remind us of the issues. Are there many you will focus on . We have several issues we will focus on, and the issues, whether we make an endorsement or not, these are the issues we care about and we want to see all of the candidates kha championing. We are focused on things that can be done by account 1st of 2017, and we are almost to october 1st 2015, and we see Congress Making deals because thats what happens before the new fiscal year. What can they do with a new president and congress after they are in office in 2017. We want to see obamacare repealed. We want to see our borders secure. We want to see a balanced budget with a penny plan which i discussed a while ago, and its balanced the budget by simply spending one penny less out of every dollar, and we want to make sure we have the biometric visa system in place and we are using that, and we have a few other items, the yellow card project, and we are looking at how we can expend personal freedom and have a debtfree future. Tea Party Patriots claim theyre for the constitution. I think what we are looking at when it comes to the iran deal is that it should have been it should have gone through congress as a treaty and thats why we got involved in it to begin with. Its not being treated as a treaty, and it may very well go into place and pass because of a minority support from Congress Rather than a super majority support out of the senate. Thats why we got involved with it at Tea Party Patriots. This is the first time we have ever been involved in an issue that expands beyond mostly domestic economic issues. This is the first time we got involved with anything to do with foreign policy. Lets go to prescott, arizona. Caller before i get to the body of my comment, i want to say anybody that calls up and de wants to replace government, what do you want to replace it with . I teach a class in propaganda at the local college, yes, how did the tea party get formed . Theres something on line called the billionaires tea party. This is the trick to put corporate interests out and have the people advocate it by saturating the airways, and while voting against your own interests. That was how fox news was created. Murdoch created a network where working class people would go hard to the right. What is limited government . What that means is sell off all public assets, including our National Park to industry, and states rights, and states by themselves are far weaker and can be taken over which they are doing one legislature at a time. Individual rights, what that means is you can die at the bridge that you live under. These Koch Brothers are i dont even know what to call them. I call them the rich brats, you know. These people are in the extraction business. They confuse success for merit. They dont give a damn. I want to point these things out. Pay tr i will do my best to comment on those. I never said that i want to end government. So if you are saying thats something i said, thats simply incorrect. I want to get Government Back to the size and scope it should be. We want to see us have a debtfree future and a balanced budget. Right now we are 19 trillion in debt. I said the way to get to that is to implement the penny plan, which would simply spend one penny less out of every dollar the government spends. If we do that, we will have a balanced budget within five years. Thats not ending government and its nothing that is too radical, either. Its spending one penny less than every dollar spent. If i had to do that in my household i would find a way to do that. As far as wow, i dont remember Everything Else you said. I would like to say i responded to a rant from cnbc and it was on the floor of the Chicago Stock Exchange about the stimulus package, so it was not on fox news and it was on cnbc, and he said our Founding Fathers would be turning over in their graves and we should have a Tea Party Like they did, and we started tweeting about it and got on a Conference Call the next day and a week later we had tea parties and when we got on the Conference Call, there was 20 of us. We organized through twitter. I knew one other person on that call and only from online communications. So it was a spontaneous movement. It was because of what rick san telesaid on cnn. We have a caller on the line for independents. Caller ms. Martin, using your logic, why do we need your organization to tell us the obvious . If you can read, can you open a history book and find out what has been going on in this country. For you to tell us the obvious and draw a very good salary doing it seems almost against your message you put out there. Secondly about the immigration, i am from california, and i am mexican american, and this is something from the 60s that started, if you are awar
