marriage should be between a man and a woman and it passed in california by a vote of the people. and the ninth circuit said no that's unconstitutional and they said, this is what they said, there is no rational basis for anyone believing that marriage should be limited to one man and one woman. let me just explain what that means. that means that anybody who thinks marriage should be just between a man and woman is a woman is irrational in their

beliefs. there is no legitimate reason other than this is what they say. hatred and bigotry. that if you believe marriage is between a man and woman it is because you are a hater or a bigot. now that is a court telling people that they are not allowed in the public square to voice these things because if you do, you are a bigot. now here we go. this is the tolerance the left, right? folks, fundamental liberties are at stake. economically, first amendment rights. we have an opportunity to paint a different vision, one that is a welcoming public square that says to people of faith, no faith, any faith, come on in, talk about it, make your case, make your argument to the people. i don't have to agree with you

but i respect the fact you are here and you know what, just because you had different opinion than me does not mean that you hate me. that i hate you. that is what america is about. [cheers and applause] we need a candidate to go out and articulated vision of freedom, economic freedom and first amendment freedom, someone who understands what is at stake here in america. limited government and free people. obamacare is just, they could not have teed it up any better for us, and yet you have a decision here in michigan tomorrow between two candidates who have a chance to win this primary. one who has a strong and long track record of economic liberties, particularly in the area of health care. at any of you hear of something called health savings accounts?

anybody want to take a guess? you probably can guess as to who actually wrote the first bill on the health savings accounts? [applause] if you talk to any conservative free-market person in health care they will tell you the core of getting it right on health care is consumer involvement and that means health savings accounts and a policy idea to give people the power back in the health care system. [applause] so i have been a people first, free-market health care advocate for 20 years since 1992 when i introduce that bill with the guy you might know, john kasich, from ohio. and unfortunately the other person who could win michigan, who has a very different view of the role of government health care. well yeah, that would be one word for it.

[applause] massachusetts was the first eight in the country to basically take over the health care system or everybody and mandate everybody. you have to purchase health care as a condition of living in the state of massachusetts and they said how much they would be fine if they did not do it. they said how much businesses would be fined fine if they did not do it. they set the limit of any business over a certain amount. obamacare 50 employees have to provide health care. they put a specific for clancy could choose from. obama has five different clancy can choose from. they dramatically expand medicaid to cover folks in obamacare. they use insurance exchange is subsidized by the government. you get the point. the idea that governor romney

says i stand by what i did in massachusetts but what obama did was wrong. why is it wrong? because it shouldn't be done at the federal level. that's a big difference. if you're for government-run health care you want the state to do it and not the government. governor romney opposed catholic hospitals a requirement data provide the provide the morning after pill. so much for the religious liberty arguments made against the president. governor romney uniquely disqualifies himself on the weakest issue in this general election, the ability to go after barack obama on the government takeover of health care. why would the people of michigan put a nominee forward who takes away the most important and salient issue for 75% of voters in the swing state that would governor romney and barack obama did was wrong.

how about putting forward someone who stands on your side with no mandates and no government-run health care. [cheers and applause] [chanting] we have an opportunity in this election to put forth someone who has a bold vision for getting this economy growing, not from the tepid and timid written by washington insiders. it doesn't make any real changes for the tax code. governor romney give him credit he lowered taxes a little bit, cut them by 20%, the rate that i suggested. that i should be copied, i think that is flattery. we have no plan to get this economy going. we take the corporate tax for corporations, 35%, the highest in the world as of april won and they cut in half and make it a flat tax, expensing everything,

no deductions and no exclusions just a flat 17.5% tax that a small business will pay the same rate as the biggest businesses in america, i level playing field for the big guys versus the little guys. [applause] except of course as you have seen on my tv commercial i focus on one area of the economy that doesn't just compete here in america but has to compete against some pretty ruthless competitors in china, mexico and others. we need to make sure that american jobs day in america, right? [cheers and applause] and where we can compete, where we can compete inside old centers of our economy and we create a level playing field that the government isn't the reason and the cost of that government can impose on

businesses is not the reason that we lose manufacturing jobs in this country. so i have put forth a three-point plan that really nails it. three things. number one, we zero out all taxes on manufacturing activity in america. if you manufacture here you don't pay taxes because we want you to make your things here. [applause] secondly, if he made good business judgment that you had to move overseas to make a profit to keep your business going and you made profits which many of them dead, it is reported 1.5 to 1.7 trillion with a t profits are sitting in overseas banks. why are they sitting there and not coming back to america? because they are subject to a hefty tax of up to 35% so they

put the money there and reinvested in those endeavors in those countries. we want that money to come back to america. and here's the deal. if you bring it back to america mr. manufacturer in his manufacture, then you don't pay any tax. create the jobs here in america. [applause] and finally the regulatory burden, not just on manufactures but in general. this ministries and, here it from small businesses and large, the level of uncertainty about what the government is going to do to us next is truly chilling and harming people to put their capital out there and grow their business. they are just afraid. already, this administration has put on a record number of large regulations that have a large cost impact on the economy.

they measure them and anything over $100 million in economic impact is singled out by the government. well barack obama last year did almost as many regulations as bush or clinton did in four years in one year. 150 regulations. this is a president that is going to set the record book on micromanaging the private sector in america. whether it is the epa or the nlrb or whether it is fda, you name it. the regulating everything because government knows best. [booing] on day one and i will repeal every single one of those regulations. [cheers and applause] [applause]

people ask me when the economy is going to turnaround. i say in michigan does what i hope it does on election night at about 11:00 at night on election night the economy would start to spur because we will have a brand-new president. [applause] so we will get jobs, good-paying jobs, not just in the major cities but where the manufacturers go. they go clear they have always gone in america. almost every little town in america across this country has a little manufacturing and processing plant that the town was built around, just like here. and imagine now kalamazoo being able to go out in the industrial heartland and the manufacturing heartland of america, imagine what you will be able to do in this community to do attract business because of the workforce you have, because of

the tradition you have and the ability to be able to produce good high-quality american goods. now you can be profitable doing it again. we will transform all of these little towns across america. we will create opportunities and be able to rise in society. far too many people who don't have the skill sets necessary and don't have jobs that require skills so they can rise in society. now, it's not a matter of going to college. college is a great thing. i encourage people who want to go to college and upgrade their skills but there are a lot of people who don't want to go to college and have other skills that need to be upgraded so they can produce in this society and manufacturing is the perfect ways for them to be able to exhibit those skills. we can turn this country around for everybody from the bottom up in america. [applause]

i have a record that can go out and take on barack obama on this issue and build support in those key areas of our country, and the swing states like pennsylvania, ohio michigan missouri and indiana. the states if they go for rick santana room -- rick santorum. [applause] we need someone who can take it to the president on the issues where the president has fallen down. and as i've said before we can do that better than anybody. we have a clean and clear record on issues of government control of your lives whether it is health care, whether it is the takeover of wall street, whether it's cap-and-trade and the imposition of carbon restrictions, co2 restrictions,

which believe it or not, you might find this easy to believe as a grandson of a coalminer, i didn't buy into this local climate science which took -- from the very beginning -- [cheers and applause] which from the very beginning if you look at the native science look not like climate science but clinical science. and i stood up and said no we are not going to go along with this. it's another attempt by the left to view some sort of junk science to take control over people's lives. we are we are not going to do that. but i was alone in this field other than ron paul. i was alone in this field and standing up and saying no i'm not going to buy into man-made global warming or cap-and-trade but unfortunately, governor romney did and as governor of massachusetts he proclaimed

loudly and proudly that they had put the first carbon cap in place for power plants in massachusetts, so much for a contrast on that issue. we are not going to win this election because we are going to have the most money and we are going to be able to beat president obama in state-by-state by sending -- spending five times as much money as he does. he will have more money and he will have the media on his side. so let's look at the candidate who has the least money and did the most with it in winning the election. [applause] that is who we are looking for, someone who is able to win based on ideas and a positive vision someone who can go out -- does

not tear down there at opponent personally or misrepresent them. just the facts, man, just what we are running on. just the facts of the policy to create the opportunity to create jobs. we have an opportunity tomorrow in michigan, here in kalamazoo, to go out and do something big, shock the establishment. [cheers and applause] they are all worried. they are all worried. oh, this guy is too conservative. i always find it funny because all the pundits say he is too conservative yet governor romney keeps running ads that i'm not conservative. i'm not too sure but that is all sort of a little bit of a contradiction. i don't know whether i'm too conservative or not be -- depending on who i talked to.

my daughter was talking to me about the story about the three bears. i am just right, not too hot and not too cold. [applause] look, we have an opportunity to do any sense what happened in 1980, in 1980 everyone was saying you can elect this guy reagan. he is way too conservative. i mean he is a movie actor. he colors his hair and puts on makeup. i mean, why would we elect somebody like that? he will be a disaster and we will lose if -- jimmy carter is the worst president in history. that part was right, until now. [cheers and applause] for jimmy carter was a disaster, no question about it and we had to win.

but, the american people realized, the people in the republican primaries realized that replacing the jimmy carter was something just a little bit better but it was not enough. i mean, it's good. don't get me wrong but it's not enough. we need someone who is going to as reagan did, remind us who we are. spurred the american public to do big things, believe big thoughts in themselves. why? because we are big, we are great. we are americans. we can do anything. [applause] so let's rally behind someone who isn't running for president because they want to be the most powerful person in the country or the world. because they are running for president because they want you to be the powerful people again in this country. [applause]

so tomorrow i'm asking you to walk out of here and i'm going to get around and meet and greet everybody and you have got your cameras. you have to put me up on facebook tonight. [cheers and applause] i can spend a lot of time because i have to do the hannity show tonight at 9:00. so i don't have a ton of time but i will take some time to do that. i just want to close by saying first thank you for coming. a really do appreciate it. thank you. [cheers and applause] [chanting] alright, alright, thank you. god bless you.

we continue our look at this year's consumer electronics show in las vegas. then in about half an hour a hearing on cybersecurity legislation with homeland security secretary janet napolitano. >> host: this week "the communicators" wraps up exhibits at the consumer electronics show in las vegas where we talk with policymakers and tech company executives about the intersection of technology and public policy. and we looked at some of the latest technology on display by some of the 3000 exhibitors.

this week we will look at some of that technology as we visit some of the exhibitors. "the communicators" is on location in las vegas, nevada at the consumer electronics show which is held at the las vegas convention center but even in the parking lot of the convention center are some more exhibitors. joining us now is joe atkin president of a company called gold zero. mr. atkin what is old zero? >> guest: we are polar -- portable solar manufacturer from cell phones to laptops, refrigerators and we were started in africa but we are here in the u.s. now. >> host: how did you get started? >> guest: a humanitarian effort. our founder was over in africa finding ways to help people create jobs and looking for needs in one of the first nita came up with everyone has cell phones but no one has power so we said if i can get you some power can you guys sell it?

yeah so that is what started creating the jobs in africa. >> host: are your products on the market? >> guest: they are and we are releasing new products as we typically do at ces but you can find them a great retailers costco, rei best buy, bass pro-shops. >> host: shoah some of your products. >> guest: we have a small, medium large but here's a small one right here. this is a seven-watt solar panel with a very packs of this? of power and you can charge your iphone, cell phone and that kind of sucked directly or if you want you can store your power in this battery pack. the only one like it on the market. does the aa batteries or chargers and you can pop them out and put them in a flashlight or whatever and also acts as a power packs he can charge any devices. plug-in your cell phone and you will never be without power. >> host: what does this cost? >> guest: 159 msrp? we manufacture everything in

china and everything is designed in utah orrin the united states. >> host: what a few have? >> guest: if you want bigger than a cell phone or a smartphone charger we have a laptop charger. this is one of the innovations so you can have this little guy and you will never need a power outlet at an airport again. you can carry this thing with you and have all your plugs to plug in your laptop or if you have an iphone or an ipad or galaxy or whatever you have come a droid come everything charges and you can even charge your laptop directly right off of this product. so a small portable, weighs like one pound and you put it in your laptop bag and you're done. >> host: joe atkin what if you are in a place where there is no sunshine? >> guest: they also charge off the wall. they also charge off of car charger so if there is no place where there is no sun and it's a pretty dark place because they also charge in cloudy conditions or if it is rainy so we been

like our users in europe or london or u.k., they can power it up no problem. doesn't have to be totally sunny like it is right now. it can charge in cloudy conditions. >> host: how long will it hold up our charge? let's say you charge it for three hours in the sunshine and then you travel. >> guest: yeah so typically rechargeable batteries last four to six months just on the shelf so it's like a battering your card. you want to be using it.this will power a laptop for a couple of hours and it will recharge a ipad a couple of times or if you have a smartphone two to four times it will recharge it off of one charge. so if you are traveling around you can charge it up from your house by a wall plug and take it with you on the plane or an event. if you are away from the sun that is when you pull out the solar panel and it recharges it. >> host: what do you do with this thing? >> guest: all you have to do is laid out in the sun like this and then you plug this into the

battery pack and immediately starts to charge. there is no delay or anything and it's waterproof. >> host: how long would it take to pull the charge? >> guest: 68 hours depending on the sun. >> host: so when you look at the ambitions and greenhouse environmental issues, even though these things still use electricity are you saving? are you cutting down? jaczko of course. that is one of the great advantages of a solar panel. solar panels are rated for 25 years so you buy it and you can use it for 25 years and obviously it is gaining in popularity plus prices have come down so a panel like this usually sells for $600 now they were -- are $199 that has been in the last few years. >> host: is that technology changes? is it more consumption? what about government grants toward these products? >> guest: it's really all

three. things are getting more efficient so they are getting smaller. the volumes have increased because of that and the government has been subsidizing. they don't necessarily subsidize the small portable stuff that they do for home so we benefit from that because it increases volume. >> host: what else have you got here? >> guest: if you are looking for more than a cell phone or laptop something like a refrigerator for emergency preparedness or a cabin we are releasing this called the yeti 1250. it's been released at ces this year. it can power your wall cabinet or refrigerators at subzero for a couple of days off of one charge so you have all of your ac ports like a wall plug, hair dryer anything you want. usb 12 fold and then it's got a lot of smart circuitry to protect the battery and here are some of the solar panels. this is one of the smaller ones but one of the cool things about our solar panels as they are all
