Eight days away haven't -- there we go over it or make a deal to avoid it seems like either way taxes are going up Tea Party was gonna save us from being tax debt then you.

What are rallying -- the first place.

Well joining me is Gina -- Tea Party leader and co author of the book ladies and gentlemen why this arrival of our republic depends on the -- -- of our honor.

-- I gotta ask you.

Know Ryan didn't stop this somehow.

Yeah I think that it is something that the Tea Party has -- massive amounts of energy into -- if you think about it Melissa -- thing it.

The Democrats fight the Republicans the Republicans -- the Democrats it's pretty have to fight on both fronts so it does require and sort of an.

Extra amount of a strategy.

And and foresight and vision and remembering that the tea parties really only four years old so yes the Tea Party has regrouped -- of meetings last week.

Nationally and the Tea Party is very committed to getting involved in any infiltrating the GOP on the local level that's all still happening very actively.

Low so it sounds like you're not gonna save us from this particular crisis now I'm I'm I'm feel like him about the attacks that that's really gonna happen there's no way around that I mean I can go to Bermuda.

But that's about it other than that.

It's gonna happen.

Well I think that some things -- gonna happen but I do think that the Tea Party candidates the Tea Party people that have been elected.

And they do have some degree of leverage in this whole situation.

Need to do what they are -- -- doing and that has turned the arguments of the left.

Back onto.

The left the reality is and we all know this that no amount of taxation of any income group is going to save us from this incredible -- -- -- -- -- things are getting it through right now I hear you and believe me I agree with you but that action stage.

It feels like by virtue of the last election and the rest of the country is not agreeing with that.

I think time is gonna prove though that this is right I think this president's gonna take a look at a legacy.

It is gonna say he's the worst president in all of American history if the economy continues on a crash course as it is right now.

So I think this is the real opportunity.

Is just presenting itself for folks that are in the Tea Party where we can define an -- accident say.

Really cutting spending is -- only answer if you tax -- you know this if you tax everybody that Obama is talking about taxing.

That almost you can cut off the deficit is what like 5% something insanely small that's not gonna do anything.

The message have to be that we have to cut spending and then tell that resonates with Americans that -- -- -- be at the economy's gonna keep declining so say.

Got to make it resonate I mean how do you say we gotta stop spending that that it's a spending problem.

Not -- not a revenue prop.

Well we have to it -- have to understand that the left is always going to.

Try to appeal to the low information voter so we have to take the information make it really simple.

Uncomplicated.

And communicate it in an irritated that -- -- can be marketed to masses of people and I think saying you know if you take the tax cuts that Obama's talking about and -- tax cut.

The tax increases.

On those making over 250000.

Dollars a year yeah I really only it will drive -- -- Yeah it's an absent in people don't -- -- what a small drop you know 56 billion whatever sounds like a lot of money but really talking about.

Reducing that this year's deficit says something like that one point two quickly won five -- -- at -- -- -- here.

-- -- that does not think so we have to communicate that and we have to keep sticking it to them to say that.

This debt is on our children on our future and at some point the grim reaper is gonna -- -- take it back so we have got to do something about this and at some point.

I think when enough people are hurting badly enough and they realize that -- savior Obama hasn't come and save -- yet.

Maybe then I'll start listening.

Yeah and are thought that was gonna happen a couple of weeks ago and in -- act Gina evangelist.

Pat yeah I'm happy Thanksgiving to -- Happy Thanksgiving -- thank you.
