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