In Part 1 of this debate series we are introduced to Texas Patriot PAC President Julie Turner, host of this historic debate. Americans for Prosperity Advisory Board Chairman Ben Streusand is introduced as the co-moderator for the event. Streusand introduces US Representative Steve King (R-IA) who lays the foundation for the debate by talking about the rising debt of the American taxpayer and the role entitlements play in the costs we must manage. Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and Mr. Herman Cain are then introduced and the debate begins.
