:00:00. > :00:00.travelled two thousand miles around Texas to speak to the voters
:00:00. > :00:10.# I was born to lead, the land of the free.
:00:11. > :00:19.Americans who voted for Donald Trump weren't just the people
:00:20. > :00:29.She gained a massive amount of weight.
:00:30. > :00:32.Supporters believed only the Donald could make America great again.
:00:33. > :00:35.I needed and wanted to see jobs brought back to America.
:00:36. > :00:38.God has a big thing to do in my life.
:00:39. > :00:45.That wall will go up so fast, your head will spin.
:00:46. > :00:49.We are on a 2,500-mile road trip around the great state of Texas
:00:50. > :00:52.to hear why so many have put their trust in Donald Trump.
:00:53. > :01:00.# Say Hail to the Chief, I was born to lead.
:01:01. > :01:17.We are in Austin this morning and off to to meet a young lady
:01:18. > :01:20.called Hannah who voted for Donald Trump.
:01:21. > :01:22.It will be really interesting to hear her reasons for voting
:01:23. > :01:25.for him and particularly as a woman I guess because we know
:01:26. > :01:29.the things he has said, his attitudes to women has been
:01:30. > :01:32.criticised, but it will be interesting to hear whether that
:01:33. > :01:38.swayed her at all and the reason she gives for still supporting him.
:01:39. > :01:45.# If Donald Trump had said all the things you said he'd said
:01:46. > :01:54.She's in the minority here in Austin because she's a Trump voter
:01:55. > :01:56.and he doesn't have a lot of support here, unlike the rest of Texas.
:01:57. > :01:59.# How can you make the economy stronger so I don't have to work
:02:00. > :02:09.Were you watching on election night and how was it?
:02:10. > :02:13.I tell people that I was kind of laughing
:02:14. > :02:17.I don't know what is happening any more because I honestly
:02:18. > :02:22.I was surprised, I'm really glad he did.
:02:23. > :02:24.I needed and wanted to see jobs brought back to America
:02:25. > :02:27.and that was by far the most important issue.
:02:28. > :02:30.For me that drew me to the voting booth.
:02:31. > :02:32.Our jobs are being stolen like candy from a baby.
:02:33. > :02:34.It's not going to happen any more, folks.
:02:35. > :02:37.That's an issue that matters to me personally because I've been looking
:02:38. > :02:40.for more full-time employment for a long time now and I keep
:02:41. > :02:43.getting told after the third or fourth interview that,
:02:44. > :02:46."We like you, we loved your interview, but we went with somebody
:02:47. > :02:49.who was willing to take a $10,000 pay cut and who has been doing
:02:50. > :02:53.He has been criticised for the comments he has made
:02:54. > :02:56.about women, being able to grab a woman and do what you want,
:02:57. > :02:59.and some of the things he said during the debates.
:03:00. > :03:01.Were you worried at all about what that said
:03:02. > :03:11.I can't be ideologically consistent saying that offends me.
:03:12. > :03:14.So what three things are you trusting Donald Trump to do
:03:15. > :03:18.in order to make sure that you don't regret voting for him?
:03:19. > :03:21.The three things that I'm trusting Donald Trump to do are to build
:03:22. > :03:24.the wall because he said he would, to bring jobs back to the US,
:03:25. > :03:28.and to increase the growth of the economy, and then to support
:03:29. > :03:33.Supreme Court justices who are going to uphold the Constitution
:03:34. > :03:38.So which particular bits of the Constitution
:03:39. > :03:41.are you concerned about, which you would like to see upheld?
:03:42. > :03:46.So, the laws regarding free speech are important to me and the laws
:03:47. > :03:55.that protect that free speech, as do our right to bear arms.
:03:56. > :04:00.Really interesting to hear Hannah's reason for voting.
:04:01. > :04:01.Yes, mostly jobs and I understand that.
:04:02. > :04:05.If you are worried about paying your bills at the end of the month,
:04:06. > :04:09.Yeah, and she has struggled to find a job since college
:04:10. > :04:12.and when it comes down to it, she has voted for the guy who says
:04:13. > :04:16.I think if you combine that with the social issues that
:04:17. > :04:18.are important to people, things like abortion
:04:19. > :04:21.and immigration, you can begin to understand how he managed
:04:22. > :04:23.to achieve the level of support he did.
:04:24. > :04:49.# And if anyone don't like it, just look 'em in the eye.
:04:50. > :04:52.# How did you come here and I ain't leaving,
:04:53. > :04:57.# Just roll me up and smoke me when I die...
:04:58. > :05:00.So we are heading more into the centre of Texas.
:05:01. > :05:03.This is hill country and we are going to meet
:05:04. > :05:06.a 26-year-old who has never been involved in politics before,
:05:07. > :05:09.but he said Donald Trump made him listen up for the first time.
:05:10. > :05:13.# I ain't leaving, so don't sit around and cry.
:05:14. > :05:26.# Just roll me up and smoke me when I die.
:05:27. > :05:30.Why is Donald Trump the right man to take this country on?
:05:31. > :05:34.He has a plan for America and he is the one that can actually,
:05:35. > :05:38.So, the night of the election were you watching the results coming
:05:39. > :05:45.God has a big thing to do with it in my life and I think he took care
:05:46. > :05:48.What were the things that Donald Trump specifically
:05:49. > :05:50.said that you thought, yeah, that is why
:05:51. > :05:55.They bring in crime, they are rapists and some,
:05:56. > :06:01.There are so many people in this country living for free and I'm
:06:02. > :06:04.paying for them and that's very aggravating to me because taxes,
:06:05. > :06:08.I'm feeding people, families, that aren't even supposed
:06:09. > :06:14.Prisons, they're full of illegal immigrants as well and I just
:06:15. > :06:19.That's more money going down the drain from me and from our
:06:20. > :06:21.country because they are putting in it too.
:06:22. > :06:23.Your father came illegally from central America.
:06:24. > :06:26.Does that have any impact on how you voted or how you feel
:06:27. > :06:31.My dad in the 80s, he immigrated to this country illegally,
:06:32. > :06:34.but the thing that differentiates him from the average guy
:06:35. > :06:37.on the street is he actually did it the right way.
:06:38. > :06:43.He started working, worked hard and he came up from nothing.
:06:44. > :06:46.He became legal as soon as he could and once he got
:06:47. > :06:48.everything established, he took the steps and he
:06:49. > :06:53.When there are so many people just living in the shadows and doing
:06:54. > :06:57.everything sketchy in my opinion, that's a weird word,
:06:58. > :07:04.Are you expecting Donald Trump to literally build a wall now,
:07:05. > :07:09.or did you see it as more of a metaphor, saying
:07:10. > :07:12.we are going to stop people crossing over?
:07:13. > :07:14.Are you expecting him to put bricks down?
:07:15. > :07:19.Barack Obama said he was going to step up border enforcement
:07:20. > :07:25.Personally I have been down to the border on hunting trips
:07:26. > :07:28.and it is crazy the amount of trucks you see running around that
:07:29. > :07:30.part of the country down south on the border.
:07:31. > :07:35.I mean, every two miles you drive you seek a US border patrol truck,
:07:36. > :07:38.I mean, every two miles you drive you see a US border patrol truck,
:07:39. > :07:42.If that money was filtered into a physical wall,
:07:43. > :07:44.like you say, laying bricks down, that could make a definite impact
:07:45. > :07:50.But some areas are so impassable that it is not feasible to build
:07:51. > :07:54.What are you then trusting Donald Trump to deliver
:07:55. > :07:57.on now that he is just about to become president?
:07:58. > :08:00.We are going to get rid of the criminals and stuff like that
:08:01. > :08:04.Hopefully just bring the country back together
:08:05. > :08:06.and that is going to make America great.
:08:07. > :08:13.When was the last time America was great?
:08:14. > :08:18.I would say I wasn't alive, but Reagan?
:08:19. > :08:26.Yeah, that was around the time your dad came.
:08:27. > :08:28.Right, OK, I think that's all the questions you probably need.
:08:29. > :08:35.Thank you for agreeing to speak with us.
:08:36. > :08:38.There's no getting away from the fact that his dad walked
:08:39. > :08:41.for three days across the desert to illegally come to the US
:08:42. > :08:44.during the 1980s and one generation later he is voting primarily to stop
:08:45. > :08:47.that immigration and others following in his father's footsteps.
:08:48. > :08:52.But, you know, he didn't vote for Donald Trump
:08:53. > :08:56.because he literally expected a wall.
:08:57. > :08:59.I think we are so used to, in politics, people
:09:00. > :09:01.voting on what they hear, but this is different.
:09:02. > :09:05.They don't expect Donald Trump to deliver word for word,
:09:06. > :09:07.they just generally liked what he was saying and if he comes
:09:08. > :09:11.kind of close to that, that might be good enough for them.
:09:12. > :09:33.# Welcome to the world, daddy's little girl.
:09:34. > :09:45.# With his gun and his head held high, my daddy said...
:09:46. > :10:08.We've come south to San Antonio to meet a more reluctant Trump voter.
:10:09. > :10:11.So Donald Trump won, how did you feel when you saw the result?
:10:12. > :10:14.I'm not jumping up and down and elated that he's the president,
:10:15. > :10:17.but I am jumping up down and elated that Hillary Clinton is not I guess.
:10:18. > :10:20.Religious freedom is very important to me and Hillary Clinton has
:10:21. > :10:22.already pretty much declared full-scale war on that.
:10:23. > :10:24.Cultural codes, religious beliefs, have to be changed.
:10:25. > :10:26.So that's one thing, and then just the fact that
:10:27. > :10:30.if you feel like you can take away one of our rights, you feel
:10:31. > :10:34.The things he said about women, the things he said about black
:10:35. > :10:40.Did it influence how you voted at all?
:10:41. > :10:44.Trump has definitely said some negative things about black people,
:10:45. > :10:47.much like about women, but personally my identity comes
:10:48. > :10:54.I have a military background, my dad was in the Air Force for 20 years.
:10:55. > :10:56.I'm a Christian and I was home-schooled and these
:10:57. > :10:59.are all values that are very important to me.
:11:00. > :11:02.What three things are you now trusting Donald Trump to do now that
:11:03. > :11:05.you voted for him and he has been elected president?
:11:06. > :11:08.I am trusting in Donald Trump first off to take our national security
:11:09. > :11:14.I am trusting him to protect all of our rights and the Bill
:11:15. > :11:17.of Rights, the right to keep and bear arms, the right to freedom
:11:18. > :11:22.And I am trusting him to protect parents' right to make decisions
:11:23. > :11:26.regarding their children's health and education and well-being.
:11:27. > :11:30.Everyone without fail who we have met who has voted for Trump spoke
:11:31. > :11:33.really strongly about how much they don't like Hillary Clinton.
:11:34. > :11:42.And they don't like her more than they do like him a lot of the time.
:11:43. > :11:47.So you can't come to Texas without eating barbecue.
:11:48. > :11:50.# Well, brother and sister, if you want to see my Jesus,
:11:51. > :11:54.This is taking us off the highway and back on again.
:11:55. > :11:56.We are nowhere where we need to be yet.
:11:57. > :12:05.One more stop and that is to meet a member
:12:06. > :12:18.Were you always a supporter of him, did you always have a good feeling
:12:19. > :12:24.Donald Trump was probably the bottom of my list,
:12:25. > :12:29.I've seen a genius in him that must also reflect well
:12:30. > :12:33.Many people will feel like they haven't seen
:12:34. > :12:37.Can you explain to them what genius you are seeing?
:12:38. > :12:41.Well, true genius I think is not so much how much talent you have,
:12:42. > :12:44.but using what's around you, using your personal resources,
:12:45. > :12:47.going through your Rolodex and figuring out who can do the jobs
:12:48. > :12:53.Was there anything that he did during the campaign that made
:12:54. > :13:00.Well, it's hard to say because there are certain things
:13:01. > :13:02.that he wouldn't address and that is his success.
:13:03. > :13:04.He didn't go into abortion, we hardly ever heard
:13:05. > :13:08.He didn't say anything about homosexuality hardly.
:13:09. > :13:11.Those issues are pretty important to the social core of a party.
:13:12. > :13:13.If you are a social conservative and if you are a Bible
:13:14. > :13:15.believing Christian, you believe that God
:13:16. > :13:19.Why does God keep coming up in politics here?
:13:20. > :13:23.I don't know, I don't know his heart.
:13:24. > :13:26.I'm sure he's not evangelical or a Bible student, but I think
:13:27. > :13:29.lately he's starting to wake up a little bit.
:13:30. > :13:31.You have seen his language change somewhat.
:13:32. > :13:35.Do you think he is in the process of finding God as he becomes
:13:36. > :13:40.I don't know if in his position he would be able to pursue
:13:41. > :13:43.It would be very difficult as president.
:13:44. > :13:48.He hasn't demonstrated much piety or humility so far.
:13:49. > :13:52.I think that is an issue with many conservatives.
:13:53. > :13:55.That is why he didn't do so well in Texas the first time.
:13:56. > :13:58.So, what are you trusting Donald Trump to do then?
:13:59. > :14:00.I am trusting him to build a coalition.
:14:01. > :14:06.He is not going to be able to lead if he doesn't have the right people
:14:07. > :14:09.because he is brand-new to the process, so he needs them.
:14:10. > :14:13.It is with the benefit of hindsight, which is a wonderful thing,
:14:14. > :14:15.not surprising that Donald Trump won this election and won
:14:16. > :14:32.Not only did Donald Trump become president, there were other
:14:33. > :14:35.elections going on at the same time for the Senate and the House
:14:36. > :14:36.of Representatives, America's parliament,
:14:37. > :14:39.and the Republican party now have complete control,
:14:40. > :14:43.which will make Donald Trump's life a lot easier in terms of passing
:14:44. > :14:49.So, 2000 miles, seven cities, time to go home.
:14:50. > :15:26.Parts of the USA are experiencing a major ice storm and you can see all
:15:27. > :15:27.about
